Abstract: The present invention relates to a technique of providing a push delivery service. A data center transmits attribute information on positions and radii of areas A through J to a user station. The user station compares the attribute information with a self-predicted position to predict that the user station itself lies in the area A through J. When the user station confirms that the user station lies in the area A through J, and requests the data center for delivery information attached to the area A through J on the basis of a result of confirmation. The data center transmits delivery information to the user station in response to the request. The user station knows itself in one of plural push delivery areas A through J, and decreases the frequency of positioning and pinpoints delivery of information such as shop advertisements is possible.

Abstract: As a result of a power saving technique for a portable dual terminal equipped with both WLAN unit and PHS unit, a call is usually relayed from an S-P gateway to a call receiver terminal via the PSTN, thereby incurring a call charge to the caller. According to the present invention, the call from the S-P gateway to the call receiver terminal (dual terminal) is terminated before a call charge is incurred, and the call receiver terminal calls back the S-P gateway via the IP network or the PSTN. The SIP server, instead of the call receiver terminal, identifies the caller terminal to call back, thereby connecting the call from the call receiver terminal to the caller terminal. In addition to this “callback method”, the present invention further provides “reconnection method”, “reconnection plus call-again method”, and “call-again method”, thus offering four types of methods.

Abstract: In a portable phone having installed therein a PHS and a WLAN, the PHS is used for standby as long as the PHS is in the coverage area. At the time of receiving an incoming call during standby by the PHS with only the PHS being ON, the power of WLAN is turned ON. If the WLAN is in the coverage area, the incoming call is once disconnected, and immediately a VoIP call is sent (call back) by the WLAN. At this time, the PHS is turned OFF. On the other hand, if the WLAN is out of the coverage area at the time of receiving the incoming call, the call is similarly disconnected, after which the WLAN is turned OFF and the VoIP call is sent by the PHS.
