Positional information providing method and positional information providing system
First Claim
1. A positional information providing method configured to provide positional information on a desired mobile terminal device to an information sending server through the use of a positional information providing server connected through a network to said information sending server, comprising:
- a position decision request step in which said information sending server transmits desired decision positional information and unique information on a designated mobile terminal device through said network to said positional information providing server;
a registration step in which a mobile terminal device transmits unique information thereon through said network to said positional information providing server;
a position decision step in which, when said designated unique information and said unique information agree with each other, said positional information providing server makes a decision as to whether or not there is a point of agreement between said decision positional information and positional information on said mobile terminal device; and
a positional information providing step in which, when the decision shows that there is a point of agreement between said decision positional information and said positional information on said mobile terminal device, said positional information providing server notifies a result of the decision through said network to said information sending server for providing positional information.

Abstract
In a positional information providing method, an information sending server transmits desired decision positional information and unique information on a designated mobile terminal device to a positional information providing server, and a mobile terminal device transmits unique information thereon to the positional information providing server, and when the designated unique information and the unique information agree with each other, the positional information providing server makes a decision as to whether or not there is a point of agreement between the decision positional information and the positional information on the mobile terminal device and, when the decision indicates that there is a point of agreement between the decision positional information and the positional information on the mobile terminal device, the positional information providing server notifies the decision result through a network to the information sending server, thereby providing the positional information.

6. An information providing method configured to provide information to a desired mobile terminal device upon consideration of positional information through the use of a positional information providing server connected through a network to an information sending server, comprising:
-
a position decision request step in which said information sending server transmits desired decision positional information and unique information on a designated mobile terminal device through said network to said positional information providing server;
a position decision step in which said positional information providing server reads out positional information on said designated mobile terminal device on the basis of said unique information to make a decision as to whether or not there is a point of agreement between said decision positional information and said positional information on said designated mobile terminal device and, when the decision shows that there is a point of agreement therebetween, notifies a result of the decision through said network to said information sending server; and
an information providing step in which, in response to the notification of the decision result, said information sending server transmits information corresponding to a position of said designated mobile terminal device through said network to said designated mobile terminal device.
