Abstract

An information storage input system for storing predetermined storage data in a storage server on a network accessible from a communication device open to public, includes a plurality of remote input terminal for inputting supplied input data in a predetermined input form, a remote input server for receiving input data from the remote input terminal, and a mobile communication terminal for communicating with at least the remote input server. Here, at least when the input data is stored in the storage server as the storage data, the remote input server notifies the fact to the mobile communication terminal.

Claims

1. An information storage input system for storing predetermined storage data in a storage server on a network accessible from a communication device open to public, comprising:

a plurality of remote input terminal for inputting supplied input data in a predetermined input form;

a remote input server for receiving input data from the remote input terminal; and

a mobile communication terminal for communicating with at least the remote input server,

wherein, at least when the input data is stored in the storage server as the storage data, the remote input server notifies the fact to the mobile communication terminal.

2. An information storage input system for storing predetermined storage data in a storage server on a network accessible from a communication device open to public, comprising:

a plurality of remote input terminal for inputting supplied input data in a predetermined input form;

a remote input server for receiving input data from the remote input terminal; and

an input request communication terminal for sending a primary input request for the input data to the remote input terminal or the remote input server,

wherein, in accordance with the primary input request sent from the input request communication terminal, the input data is input from the remote input terminal to the remote input server and the remote input server sends a secondary input request to the storage server so that the input data is stored as the storage data.

3. An information storage input system according to claim 2, the input request communication terminal comprising:

a short distance communication portion for performing wireless or wired communication with the remote input terminal at short distance; and

an unlimited wireless communication portion for performing communication with the remote input server in an unlimited manner in distance,

wherein, when the primary input request is sent to the remote input terminal, the short distance communication portion is used, and when the primary input request is sent to the remote input server, the unlimited wireless communication portion.

4. An information storage input system according to claim 3,

wherein, when the primary input request is sent to the remote input terminal, and when the primary input request is sent to the remote input server, the input data is supplied to the storage server through the remote input terminal and the remote input server and is stored in the storage server as the storage data.

5. An information storage input system according to claim 4, in which the remote input server and the storage server adopt membership systems, further comprising:

a first interoperating portion for causing the remote input server and the storage server to interoperate,

wherein a member of one of the remote input server and the storage server can be treated by the first interoperating portion when an authentication result is positive in one of the servers, in the same manner as a case where an authentication result is positive in the other server.

6. An information storage input system according to claim 2,

wherein the primary input request sent from the input request communication terminal includes output-destination specification information for specifying where the input data is finally output after storing the input data in the storage server.

7. An information storage input system according to claim 6,

wherein the primary input request sent from the input request communication terminal includes output-form specification information for specifying a final output form.

8. An information storage input system according to claim 7,

wherein output history information including the output-form specification information is stored in the remote input server or the storage server, and

wherein the output form specification information in the history information is reused when the primary input request is input.

9. An information storage input service for storing predetermined storage data in a storage server on a network accessible from a communication device open to public, comprising the steps of:

inputting supplied input data in a predetermined input form by using a remote input terminal;

receiving input data from the remote input terminal by using a remote input server; and

communicating with at least the remote input server by using a mobile communication terminal,

wherein, at least when the input data is stored in the storage server as the storage data, the remote input server notifies the fact to the mobile communication terminal.

10. An information storage input service for storing predetermined storage data in a storage server on a network accessible from a communication device open to public, comprising the steps of:

inputting supplied input data in a predetermined input form by using a remote input terminal;

receiving input data from the remote input terminal by using a remote input server; and

sending a primary input request for the input data from an input request communication terminal to the remote input terminal or the remote input server,

wherein, in accordance with the primary input request sent from the input request communication terminal, the input data is input from the remote input terminal to the remote input server and the remote input server sends a secondary input request to the storage server so that the input data is stored as the storage data.

11. An information storage input service according to claim 10, comprising the steps of, by using the input request communication terminal:

performing wireless or wired communication with the remote input terminal at short distance by using a short distance communication portion included in the input request communication terminal itself; and

performing communication with the remote input server in an unlimited manner in distance by using an unlimited wireless communication portion,

wherein, when the primary input request is sent to the remote input terminal, the short distance communication portion is used, and when the primary input request is sent to the remote input server, the unlimited wireless communication portion.

12. An information storage input service according to claim 11,

wherein, when the primary input request is sent to the remote input terminal, and when the primary input request is sent to the remote input server the input data is supplied to the storage server through the remote input terminal and the remote input server and is stored in the storage server as the storage data.

13. An information storage input service according to claim 12, in which the remote input server and the storage server adopt membership systems, further comprising the steps of:

causing the remote input server and the storage server to interoperate by using a first interoperating portion,

wherein a member of one of the remote input server and the storage server can be treated by the first interoperating portion when an authentication result is positive in one of the servers, in the same manner as a case where an authentication result is positive in the other server.

14. An information storage input service according to claim 10,

wherein the primary input request sent from the input request communication terminal includes output-destination specification information for specifying where the input data is finally output after storing the input data in the storage server.

15. An information storage input service according to claim 14,

wherein the primary input request sent from the input request communication terminal includes output-form specification information for specifying a final output form.

16. An information storage input service according to claim 15,

wherein output history information including the output-form specification information is stored in the remote input server or the storage server, and
