Abstract

The purpose of the server device and information processing device is to easily establish the most appropriate communications based on the unique information of the user. The server device (0203) has a section to receive the unique information that receives the unique information of the user (0210) and a section to manage the information about establishing communications that manages the information about establishing communications (0211), etc. The information processing device (0201) has a section to transmit the unique information (0204) that transmits the unique information and an information receiving section (0205) to receive the information about establishing communications, etc.

Claims

1. A server device comprising:

an information receiving section to receive unique information on a terminal side;

a management section for information for establishing communications;

an information obtaining section to acquire the information about establishing communications from a management section wherein said unique information is used as a key; and

an information transmitting section to transmit information about establishing communications obtained at said information obtaining section.

2. An information processing device connected to the server device described in claim 1 comprising:

an information transmitting section to transmit unique information;

an information receiving section to receive information about establishing communications; and

an information recording section to record the information about establishing communications received at said information receiving section.

3. The information processing device described in claim 2 wherein said information receiving section has a means to confirm a signature to confirm an existence of a signature of the server device, and which receives only information about establishing communications with a signature attached.

4. The information processing device described in claim 2 or 3 further comprising an input receiving section to input said unique information.

5. A method for providing the information about establishing communications comprising the steps of:

receiving the unique information on the terminal side;

acquiring information about establishing communications wherein said unique information is used as a key; and

transmitting the acquired information about setting up communications.

6. A method for establishing communications comprising the steps of:

transmitting unique information;

receiving information about establishing communications wherein said unique information is used as a key; and

recording the received information about establishing communications.

7. A recording medium readable by a computer that records a program to execute a step to transmit the unique information, a step to receive the information about establishing communications wherein said unique information is used as a key, and a step to record the received information about establishing communications.

8. A program to execute a step to transmit the unique information, a step to receive the information about establishing communications wherein said unique information is used as a key, and a step to record the received information about establishing communications.
