  • Patent number: 7289819
    Abstract: A message distribution system which distributes messages for transmission/reception between mobile terminals, comprising: a message distribution server which receives a message transmitted from one of the mobile terminals and distributes the message to the mobile terminal on a receiving side; and a library server which includes: a data storage unit storing a plurality of content data corresponding to a keyword; and a control circuit which executes a search to determine matching with the keyword stored in the data storage unit by using a word contained in a body of the message as a key upon a request from one of the message distribution server and the mobile terminal; extracts, when the word matches the keyword, all content data corresponding to the keyword from the data storage unit, and extract content data similar to predetermined condition information from the extracted content data; and embeds the extracted content data similar to the condition information in the message.

  • Patent number: 7120452
    Abstract: When receiving an incoming call, a portable telephone that receives a search request judges whether or not this incoming call is the search request sent from a second portable telephone, which is a source of the search request. When the portable telephone judges that the incoming call is the search request sent from the second portable telephone, it is judged whether or not the receiving portable telephone is capable of determining its position information. When the portable telephone is incapable of determining its position information, the portable telephone automatically switches to a response hold state and transmits a search response message to the second portable telephone based on information stored in advance. Further, when the portable telephone is capable of determining its position information, the portable telephone determines its position information and transmits the position information to the portable telephone.

  • Patent number: 7092704
    Abstract: A portable telephone system comprising first portable telephone terminal, second portable telephone terminal and a server for performing a management of position information of the first portable telephone terminal. The server is a relay server for position search service and registers into a password managing data base a password for allowing the second portable telephone terminal to search the position of the first portable telephone terminal in advance. The first portable telephone terminal notifies the password registered in the password managing data base to the second portable telephone terminal with a mail or the like. The second portable telephone terminal achieving the password transmits a position search request message to the server. The server checks the password indicated by the search request message, allows the position search and issues a search instructing message to the first portable telephone terminal.

  • Publication number: 20040038665
    Abstract: An advertisement distributing-functioned mobile telephone produces with an application in its own terminal an advertisement to be distributed, finds its position with a position finding mechanism such as a GPS, and registers its position with a data management server via a positional information server. A control unit controls other circuits in its own terminal, and selects users to whom the advertisement is to be distributed on the basis of user information acquired from the positional information server. A radio control unit acquires user information from the positional information server and distributes the advertisement.
