However, it is to be understood that modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention.
FIG.
1 is a schematic block diagram of a content presentation system in a first embodiment of the present invention.
The content presentation system of the present invention shown in FIG.
1 is configured by a cellular phone 1; an antenna 3 installed by a specific carrier to receive radio communications from this cellular phone 1 via a network 2 provided by a predetermined carrier; a public telephone line 3a used to transfer a signal received by the antenna 3; and such a network 5 such as the Internet connected to this network 2 via a carrier server 4 installed at the carrier.
The network 5 may be the Internet, as well as an optical communication network and a LAN/WAN that uses a proper communication protocol so as to send/receive data and information remotely.
One of the protocols employable for such communications is, for example, TCP/IP.
The cellular phone 1 may be any type that can access a network 5 such as the Internet.
For example, the cellular phone 1 may be replaced with a cellular phone that can use i-mode (a registered trademark) and/or Sky-mail (a registered trademark) services.
The carrier of the present invention may be any one that includes such facility/means as a gateway used to access the network 5 (the Internet).
The "contents" mentioned in the present invention comprise digital information including address information of URL sites that provide software programs and other specific services such as voice, image, music, etc.
, as well as access information required to use specific services, for example, linked addresses of specific URL sites, guidance of available information items, presenter information, notices of available privileges for admission to concerts, medical and caring services closely related to each cellular phone used as personal identification information like an ID card, information about shopping services on credit card for enabling a user B under the permission of a user A who is charged for the shopping
