Abstract: The present invention proposes a safe and quick individual certification method using a portable terminal. When a portable terminal 30 sends a request for certification to a certification server 10, the certification server 10 transmits query code for certification to the portable terminal 30. The portable terminal 30 transmits said query code to the certification server 10 via a reader 21 or the like and also via a sales management server 23 to be certified. The certification server 10 verifies the query code to that generated in the past, and returns a result of verification and personal data required by the sales management server 23 to the sales management server 23.

Abstract: The present invention provides local information indispensable for travelers or the like and serves as a guide satisfying the travelers' tastes at places where the travelers are staying on their journeys. Positional information is detected from an information request signal transmitted from a cellular terminal, and when the cellular terminal is within a specific area, information corresponding to the specific area is delivered to the cellular terminal in a form of a quiz or a game. Further to a response from the cellular terminal for the information delivered to the cellular terminal, a result record is delivered, and when the cellular terminal is not within the specific area, information other than that corresponding to the specific area is delivered. When giving a point according to the result, a point for the information corresponding to the specific area is set at a higher value as compared to that for the information other than that corresponding to the specific area.

Abstract: The present invention provides a human body monitoring system capable of monitoring a human body by checking various parameters and also reporting health impairment such as sudden illness and emergency such as a crime to a prespecified contact address. A monitoring device carried by an object person for monitoring and having a transmitting section and a mobile terminal carried by the object person for monitoring and having a receiving section are connected in a wireless system using weak electric wave. An abnormal signal and positional information are set to the prespecified contact address or a management center based on the abnormal data signal received by the mobile terminal from the monitoring device. The monitoring device includes a non-contact type biomagnetic field measuring sensor for measuring a trend of action potential in the object person and transmits the abnormal data signal to the mobile terminal. The coverage distance of the weak electric wave is within 10 meters.

Abstract: Strengthening a relation between “products” and a virtual space, and improving values of both game characters and the “products” mimicking the characters by stimulating users' affection to original products. In an online game method, a product carrying an ID code assigned thereto and a number of image characters reflecting features of the product and correlated to the ID code are previously prepared, and a user can use the image characters as characters for the online game by inputting the ID code in the online game to register the image characters therein.
