Object distributing system, portable terminal and server used therefor, and memory management method
First Claim
1. An object distribution system, in which a portable terminal and a server for distributing an object to said portable terminal, are connected by a network, said portable terminal comprising:
- a storage medium for storing said object;
detecting means for detecting a remaining capacity of said storage medium becoming less than or equal to a preliminarily set threshold value; and
transmitting means for transmitting a message for notifying a memory full condition of said storage medium to said server when said detecting means detects the remaining capacity of said storage medium becoming less than or equal to said threshold value.

Abstract
An object distribution system can obtain memory without causing wasteful distribution or requiring erasure of memory by user and a memory management method in a portable terminal. The object distribution system includes a portable terminal and a server for distributing an object to the portable terminal connected by a network. The portable terminal includes a storage medium for storing the object, detecting means for detecting a remaining capacity of the storage medium becoming less than or equal to a preliminarily set threshold value, and transmitting means for transmitting a message for notifying a memory full condition of the storage medium to the server when the detecting means detects the remaining capacity of the storage medium becoming less than or equal to the threshold value.

10. A memory management method in a portable terminal in an object distribution system, in which a portable terminal and a server for distributing an object to said portable terminal, are connected by a network, said method comprising:
-
step of detecting a remaining capacity of a storage medium for storing said object, becoming less than or equal to a preliminarily set threshold value; and
step of transmitting a message for notifying a memory full condition of said storage medium to said server when said detecting means detects the remaining capacity of said storage medium becoming less than or equal to said threshold value. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27)

19. A portable terminal to be connected to a server for distributing an object through a network, comprising:
-
a storage medium for storing said object;
detecting means for detecting a remaining capacity of said storage medium becoming less than or equal to a preliminarily set threshold value; and
transmitting means for transmitting a message for notifying a memory full condition of said storage medium to said server when said detecting means detects the remaining capacity of said storage medium becoming less than or equal to said threshold value.

25. A server connected to a portable terminal through a network for distributing an object, comprising:
means for receiving a message notifying a memory full condition of a storage medium which can be written said object, from said portable terminal and notifying a demand message promoting capacity acquisition of said storage medium for said portable terminal upon holding an object to be transmitted to said portable terminal.
