2. A media convert service providing method comprising:

a step of utilizing a free usable transmission field of signaling information in a UUI frame based on a specified communication protocol; and

a step of enabling information for specifying a receiving media convert category and a receiving terminal category to be registered in an information communication processing system on a communication network.

3. A media convert service providing method comprising:

a step of utilizing extended PPP in which a value of a control field in a PPP frame based on a specified communication protocol is a variable code value; and

a step of enabling information for specifying a receiving media convert category and a receiving terminal category to be registered in an information communication processing system on a communication network.

4. A media convert service providing method according to claim 1 , 2 or 3 , further comprising a step of notifying a sender of information according to the receiving terminal category and the category of the medium converted based on the registered specified information of a receiver.

5. A media convert service providing method according to claim 1 , 2 or 3 , further comprising:

a step of ignoring the registered specified information of the receiver when urgent communication information is transmitted to the receiver; and

a step of transmitting the communication information to the receiver by use of all possible media and receiving terminals.

6. A media convert service providing method according to claim 5 , further comprising:

a step of repeatedly transmitting the communication information to a registered destination of the receiver when said information communication processing system receives the urgent communication information; and

a step of stopping the transmission of the communication information when receiving an urgent communication stop indication based on the communication protocol from the receiver.

7. A media convert service providing method according to claim 1 , 2 or 3 , further comprising:

a step of registering sender's information of which a receipt is not desired by the receiver in said information communication processing system; and

a step of executing a specifying process when receiving the communication information from a relevant sender.

8. A media convert service providing method according to claim 7 , wherein said specifying process involves replying a reject of receipt to the sender or discarding the communication information itself.

9. A media convert service providing method according to claim 7 , further comprising a step of transferring the communication information from the sender to other receiving terminal via a selected medium.

10. A media convert service providing method according to claim 1 , 2 or 3 , further comprising:

a step of validating the transmissions to a plurality of receiving terminals; and

a step of transmitting the communication information to a plurality of terminals possessed by one user or to the terminals possessed by a plurality of users.

11. A media convert service providing method according to claim 1 , 2 or 3 , further comprising a step of transmitting a copy of a registration table of the specified information to a terminal that does not set a service.

12. A media convert service providing method according to claim 1 , 2 or 3 , further comprising:

a step of specifying one medium and one terminal when setting in said receiving terminal the specified information registered according to the receiving media convert categories and the receiving terminal categories;

a step of thereby converting, into one medium, all media receivable by a group of said receiving terminals via said information communication processing system; and

a step of receiving the information by one receiving terminal.

13. A media convert service providing method according to claim 1 , 2 or 3 , wherein all said receiving terminals corresponding to a certain user and said information communication processing system retain the same registration table of the specified information.

14. A media convert service providing method according to claim 1 , 2 or 3 , further comprising:

a step of transmitting, if a power source of said receiving terminal is not switched ON, an indication of switching ON the power source from said information communication processing system;

a step of switching ON the power source of said receiving terminal by a network terminating device connected to said receiving terminal receiving this indication and thus setting said receiving terminal in a communicable state; and

a step of thereafter transmitting the communication information by said information communication processing system.

15. A media convert service providing method according to claim 14 , further comprising a step of giving the indication of switching ON the power source to said receiving terminal from said information communication processing system by use of a sender's telephone number.
