Abstract

[Object] To provide a system which accurately selects information with high possibility of being needed by users, and transmits information by push type service, without transmitting unnecessary or undesired information. [Means to Achieve the Object] A system for transmitting information to a mobile terminal by push type service, comprising: a mobile terminal equipped with a GPS function; and a data center transmitting the information to the mobile terminal by the push type service, the data center comprising a transmitting/receiving unit, a movement record storing unit which stores the movement record of the mobile terminal together with the time information, an analogizing unit which analogizes an action pattern of the mobile terminal user, based on the movement record and the time information, an information database, and an information selecting unit which selects the information to be transmitted to the mobile terminal, the information selecting unit of the data center selecting the information, based on the action pattern of the mobile terminal user analogized by the analogizing unit, the transmitting/receiving unit of the data center transmitting the information, which is selected by the information selecting unit, to the mobile terminal by the push type service.

Claims

1. A system for transmitting information to a mobile terminal by push type service, comprising:

a mobile terminal equipped with a GPS function; and

a data center transmitting the information to the mobile terminal by the push type service,

the mobile terminal comprising a movement record transmitting unit which transmits to the data center a movement record of the mobile terminal determined by the GPS function together with time information, in addition to essential components for performing wireless communication,

the data center comprising a transmitting/receiving unit which transmits a signal to the mobile terminal and receives a signal from the mobile terminal, a movement record storing unit which stores the movement record of the mobile terminal together with the time information transmitted from the movement record transmitting unit of the mobile terminal, an analogizing unit which analogizes an action pattern of the mobile terminal user, based on the movement record and the time information stored in the movement record storing unit, an information database which stores information to be transmitted to the mobile terminal, and an information selecting unit which selects the information to be transmitted to the mobile terminal from the information included in the information database,

the information selecting unit of the data center selecting the information, based on the action pattern of the mobile terminal user analogized by the analogizing unit,

the transmitting/receiving unit of the data center transmitting the information, which is selected by the information selecting unit, to the mobile terminal by the push type service.

2. The system according to claim 1, wherein

the mobile terminal further comprises an unnecessary information notifying unit which notifies to the data center of unnecessary information, which dose not have to be transmitted from the data center, and

the data center further comprises an unnecessary information storing unit which stores the unnecessary information notified by the unnecessary information notifying unit of the mobile terminal, and the information selecting unit of the data center selects the information based on the action pattern of the mobile terminal user analogized by the analogizing unit, referring to the unnecessary information stored in the unnecessary information storing unit.

3. The system according to claim 1, wherein

the time information transmitted together with the movement record from the movement record transmitting unit of the mobile terminal includes information about time zones, days of the week, and weekdays or holidays, and

the analogizing unit of the data center analogizes the action pattern of the mobile terminal user according to categories of the time zones, the days of the week, and the weekdays or holidays.

4. The system according to claim 3, wherein

the analogizing unit of the data center analogizes a traffic route that is used by the mobile terminal user in a predetermined time zone of a predetermined day of the week, based on the action pattern of the mobile terminal user to be analogized, and

the information selecting unit of the data center selects the information to be transmitted to the mobile terminal, in such a manner that the information contains a piece of information about the traffic route analogized by the analogizing unit, which is used by the mobile terminal user in the predetermined time zone of the predetermined day of the week.
