Abstract

A transmitting terminal can transmit a content held by itself to a specific receiving terminal having no email software as if using a mailer. The transmitting terminal ( 10 ) and the receiving terminal ( 20 ) are connected to a delivery server ( 30 ) via a network ( 4 ). The delivery server ( 30 ) comprises: a database ( 36 ) for registering the device ID that specifies the receiving terminal ( 20 ); a content storage ( 39 ) for temporarily storing a content transmitted from the transmitting terminal ( 10 ); and table ( 33, 37 ) for managing contents separately on a per device ID basis of the receiving terminal. The delivery server ( 30 ), when receiving a request from the receiving terminal ( 20 ), refers to the tables ( 33, 27 ) and transmits to the receiving terminal ( 20 ) a content, the transmission destination of which corresponds to the device ID of the receiving terminal ( 20 ).

Claims (21)

1. A content receiving terminal comprising:

a network communication circuitry that connects to a delivery server over a network;

a display; and

a controller;

wherein the controller is configured to:

display a first screen which includes a plurality of contents to transition from the first screen to another screen when the content is selected,

wherein one of the plurality of contents is for displaying a second screen which includes a list of picture content, the picture content being transmitted from a transmitting terminal with information about a sender who transmitted the picture content using the transmitting terminal and a title associated with the picture content inputted on the transmitting terminal by the sender,

display, on the display, the list of picture content, which are transmitted from the transmitting terminal and stored in a content storage of the delivery server, with the information,

display, on the display, a third screen which includes a plurality of picture content which is associated with the title,

download one of the plurality of picture content from the delivery server via the network communication circuitry, and

store the downloaded picture content into a storage of the content receiving terminal,

wherein the controller is further configured to send a delete instruction to delete one of the picture contents from the content storage, to the delivery server.

2. The content receiving terminal according to claim 1 ,

wherein the controller is configured to:

send a request of rejecting the receiving of the new picture contents to the delivery server via the network communication circuitry; and

not display the new picture contents associated with the request on the display.

3. The content receiving terminal according to claim 1 ,

wherein the controller is further configured to display a group of the picture contents.

4. The content receiving terminal according to claim 1 ,

wherein the picture contents are associated with expiry information relating to an expiry date, and

the controller is further configured to display, on the display, the picture contents stored in the content storage until the expiry.
