Information distribution service system using mobile terminal device
View Patent ↗An information distribution service system includes a mobile terminal device with a communication part and another terminal device connected to the mobile terminal device via the communication part. The mobile terminal device includes a server function part that provides information to another terminal device; an email control part that sends information, regarding an access method for accessing the information with another terminal device, to another terminal device via an email; and a server access control part that operates the server function part so as to start processing for providing the information when another terminal device makes an access according to the access method.
1. A mobile terminal device which communicates with a counterpart terminal device to implement an information distribution service, comprising:
a server function part which is configured to provide the counterpart terminal device with information which is selected in advance;
an email control part which is configured to send an email to the counterpart terminal device and reply to an email from the counterpart terminal device so as to establish connection with the counterpart terminal device; and
a server access control part which is configured to start the server function part to provide the information to the counterpart terminal device with reference to a management table describing an access method and a disclosure policy,
wherein the access method includes an address, a port number, and specific information for specifying the information which is provided to the counterpart terminal device.
2. The mobile terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the information is a folder which the counterpart terminal device is allowed to browse according to the disclosure policy of the management table.
3. The mobile terminal device according to claim 1 , further comprising a GPS function which is configured to measure positional information serving as the information provided to the counterpart terminal device.
4. The mobile terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the port number is dynamically determined with respect to the information provided to the counterpart terminal device via the server function part.
5. An information distribution service method adapted to a mobile terminal device which communicates with a counterpart terminal device, comprising:
providing the counterpart terminal device with information which is selected in advance via a server function;
establishing connection with the counterpart terminal device by sending an email to the counterpart terminal device and replying to an email from the counterpart terminal device; and
starting the server function to provide the information to the counterpart terminal device with reference to a management table describing an access method and a disclosure policy,
wherein the access method includes an address, a port number, and specific information for specifying the information which is provided to the counterpart terminal device.
6. The information distribution service method according to claim 5 , wherein the information is a folder which the counterpart terminal device is allowed to browse according to the disclosure policy of the management table.
7. The information distribution service method according to claim 5 , further comprising a GPS function to measure positional information serving as the information provided to the counterpart terminal device.
8. The information distribution service method according to claim 5 , wherein the port number is dynamically determined with respect to the information provided to the counterpart terminal device via the server function.
9. A mobile terminal device which communicates with a counterpart terminal device to implement an information distribution service, comprising:
a server function part which is configured to provide the counterpart terminal device with information which is selected in advance;
an email control part which is configured to send an email to the counterpart terminal device and reply to an email from the counterpart terminal device so as to establish connection with the counterpart terminal device; and
a server access control part which is configured to start the server function part to provide the information to the counterpart terminal device with reference to a management table describing an access method and a disclosure policy,
wherein the information distribution service utilizes different port numbers depending on disclosed data, thus alleviating a negative influence to terminal functionality due to denial of service.
10. The mobile terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the information distribution service does not require inputting a URL or a port number for accessing the counterpart terminal, thus enhancing accessibility.
11. The mobile terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the management table includes a companion, a counterpart address, a keyword, a folder name and a service name.
12. The information distribution service according to claim 5 , wherein the information distribution service utilizes different port numbers depending on disclosed data, thus alleviating a negative influence to terminal functionality due to denial of service.
13. The information distribution service according to claim 5 , wherein the information distribution service does not require inputting a URL or a port number for accessing the counterpart terminal, thus enhancing accessibility.
14. The information distribution service according to claim 5 , wherein the management table includes a companion, a counterpart address, a keyword, a folder name and a service name.
