Portable terminal and position information conversion system
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A portable terminal converting position information on said terminal to an execution instruction executing a predetermined operation associated with the position information, said portable terminal comprising:
- a memory circuit in which conversion rule groups for converting the position information to the execution instruction is stored;
an operation circuit that allows a user to select a conversion rule group to be applied to the conversion from the position information to the execution instruction;
a position calculation function circuit that obtains current position information;
a position information conversion circuit that performs processing of a conversion rule, included in the selected conversion rule group and related to the current position information, to generate the execution instruction; and
a display output function circuit that executes an operation according to the generated execution instruction.

17. A position information conversion system comprising:
-
a portable terminal executing a predetermined operation;
a contents server connected to said portable terminal via a mobile communication network; and
a position information conversion server connected to said contents server and having a storage unit in which at least one conversion rule group is stored for use in generating an execution instruction executing the predetermined operation based on position information on said portable terminal, wherein said portable terminal comprises;
a sending/receiving circuit that sends or receive information via the mobile communication network, that sends selection information indicating a conversion rule group selected by a user to said contents server, and that sends current position information to said contents server;
an operation circuit which allows the user to select one of said conversion rule groups;
a position calculation function circuit that obtains the current position information; and
a display output function circuit that executes an operation in response to the execution instruction received from said contents server, wherein said contents server comprises a sending/receiving unit that obtains the current position information from said portable terminal and sends said execution instruction back to said portable terminal, and wherein said position information conversion server comprises a position information conversion circuit that reads one of conversion rule groups from said storage unit based on the selection information and, from the conversion rule groups that were set, reads a conversion rule related to the current position information from said storage unit for generating the execution instruction. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)

33. A position information conversion system comprising:
-
a position information conversion server connected to a network;
a contents server connected to said position information conversion server; and
a portable terminal connected to said contents server over a mobile communication network and having means for storing at least one of conversion rule groups each of which converts position information to a predetermined-operation execution instruction, wherein said portable terminal comprises;
a sending/receiving circuit that sends and receives information over the mobile communication network;
an operation circuit that allows a user to select one of the conversion rule groups;
a memory circuit that stores the conversion rule group obtained from said contents server;
a position calculation function circuit that obtains current position information;
a position information conversion circuit that performs processing of a conversion rule, included in the selected conversion rule groups and related to the current position information of the selected conversion rule group, for generating the execution instruction; and
a display/output function circuit that executes an operation according to the generated execution instruction, wherein said position information conversion server comprises a memory unit in which at least one of the conversion rule groups is stored, and wherein said contents server comprises a sending/receiving unit that reads the conversion rule group, requested by said portable terminal, from said position information conversion server and sends the conversion rule group to said portable terminal. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48)
