Abstract: A transmitting apparatus transmits its own identification information to a terminal station and controls the terminal station to transmit to a relay apparatus a delivery permission registration request including the identification information and the email address of the user of the terminal station. On receiving the delivery permission registration request, the relay apparatus, then, stores in a delivery permission table the identification information of the transmitting apparatus corresponding to the email address, and controls the terminal station to transmit to the transmitting apparatus recipient registration request including the email address. Finally, the transmitting apparatus stores in a recipient list the email address included in the received recipient registration request.

Abstract: Mobile device MS displays an unreceived mail list acquired from gateway server GWS by executing a browser. A user selects a desired e-mail by referring to the unreceived mail list. Prior to that gateway server GWS transmits e-mails to mobile device MS, gateway server GWS transmits to mobile device MS, an HTML header including predetermined character strings which are a field name (X-IMTMAIL) and a field value (WEB). Then, mobile device MS activates a mailer, and prepares to receive and store e-mails transmitted from gateway server GWS.

Abstract: Mobile phone 100-1 adds information that indicates the extensions of attachment files the user desires to obtain to an HTTP request for obtaining e-mail, and sends the HTTP request to a mail server 400. When mail server 400 receives the HTTP request, it compares the files attached to the e-mail with information included in the HTTP request, and determines whether to send the attachment files. In a case where it is determined not to send an attachment file, mail server 400 deletes the attachment file from the e-mail, and sends the e-mail from which the attachment has been deleted to mobile phone 100-1.

Abstract: Character strings for selecting received emails are registered in an email server apparatus (600). When receiving an email addressed to the user of a mobile phone (700), the email server apparatus (600) uses the character strings to select the email. When it is during a trial period, the email server apparatus (600) delivers the received email with a selection result addressed thereto. When it is after the trial period, the email server apparatus (600) retains, as a history, information about the received email, and periodically transmits the history to the mobile phone (700).

Abstract: An object is to provide a server and an e-mail delivery method capable of processing an e-mail while determining whether the e-mail is to be stored into a mail box or whether only an attached file is to be stored into a storage area specified by a URL, based on a file size of the attached file. Data determining part 102 determines a file size of a file attached to an e-mail received by SMTP communication part 101. When the data determining part 102 determines that the file size is not less than a predetermined file size, data processing part 103 provides the e-mail with identification information for making the file stored in storage part 204 specified by a URL, and the e-mail is transferred to external WEB server 200. When the data determining part 102 determines that the file size is smaller than the predetermined file size, the e-mail is stored in mail box 105.

Abstract: In the present invention, processing for a service such as reducing the charges placed on electronic mail transmitted and received within a predetermined group is performed efficiently. An electronic mail charging system comprises: a user database storing information specifying a mobile communication terminal in association with the group ID of a group to which the terminal belongs; an ID comparison unit for detecting the transmission of an electronic mail from a transmission terminal to a reception terminal, obtaining information specifying the transmission terminal and reception terminal from the electronic mail, referring to the user database on the basis of this information, and comparing the group ID corresponding to the transmission terminal with the group ID corresponding to the reception terminal; and a charging server for generating charging information in order to place charges on the transmitted electronic mail on the basis of the result of this comparison.

Abstract: By storing data of web page in a different server from the one which stores a web page data, the work is distributed and the load on the server is reduced. Content server 400 provides mobile telephone 100 with web page data which has a statement of directing to get banner advertisement data in web pages from advertisement server 500. Mobile telephone 100 which receives web page data obtains banner advertisement data from advertisement server 500. In order to view a web page linked by the banner advertisement, mobile telephone 100 obtains from advertisement server 500 a URL for a linked web page, and obtains the linked web page data.
