Information providing system
First Claim
1. An information providing system comprising:
- a terminal device capable of reading information data recorded in a storage medium that has recorded incomplete information data, the incomplete information data being prepared by missing out partial data from complete information data adapted to provide complete information; and
an information administration device for storing complementary information data which is transmittable between the terminal device and the information administration device to complement the incomplete information data thereby reconstructing an original information data, wherein the terminal device includes reception means for receiving the complementary information data by way of data transmission from the information administration device, readout means for reading the incomplete information data from the storage medium, and combine means for combining the complementary information data received by the reception means with the incomplete information data read by the readout means.

Abstract
An information providing system that can provide information in a shorter downloading period. The information providing system includes a terminal device capable of reading information data recorded in a storage medium that has recorded incomplete information data. The incomplete information data from prepared by omitting some data in complete information data which provide complete information. The information providing system also includes an information administration device for storing complementary information data which is transmittable between the terminal device and the information administration device to complement the incomplete information data thereby reconstructing an original information data. The terminal device includes a reception module for receiving the complementary information data by way of data transmission from the information administration device, a readout module for reading the incomplete information data from the storage medium, and a combine module for combining the received complementary information data with the read incomplete information data.
