  • Patent number: 8271580
    Abstract: A mobile communication network system and server apparatus enabling the time for a mobile terminal apparatus to acquire content to be sufficiently reduced. In a mobile communication network system provided with a cellular telephone 10 having the browser function, and a mobile communication center 11 that manages mobile communication in the cellular telephone 10 via a mobile communication network 13, upon receiving a request for Web access from the cellular telephone 10, the mobile communication center 11 determines whether the request meets a predetermined condition, and when the request meets the predetermined condition, executes pipeline processing for enabling HTTP requests from the cellular telephone 10 to be continuously received.

  • Publication number: 20060085846
    Abstract: Provided are a contents delivery management apparatus and a contents delivery management method capable of appropriately charging users, independent of stability of a network. A contents delivery management apparatus is configured to delete a one-time password checked upon delivery of contents, in conjunction with the delivery of the contents, and to generate charge information to a user only when the deleting process is finished. For this reason, for example, even if a network has communication error such as instantaneous chopping to cause multiple notifications of transmission completion of the contents to the contents delivery management apparatus, multiple generation of charge information can be avoided because the password corresponding to the contents once transmitted to the communication terminal has already been deleted from a password storage. Therefore, an appropriate charge can be imposed to the user, independent of stability of the network.
