Abstract

A mobile terminal acquires related information with respect to a user, retains the acquired related information, transmits the retained related information, detects a position of the mobile terminal, transmits a transmission request signal that requires the transmission of the digest when the detected position satisfies a predetermined condition, and receives the digest based on the related information. The data processor stores the information, receives the related information with respect to a user, generates the digest that summarizes the information stored upon receipt of the related information based thereon, retains the generated digest, receives the transmission request signal that requires the transmission of the digest, and transmits the retained digest upon receipt of the transmission request signal.

5. The data reception method according to claim 4, wherein the first point comprises one of a ticket gate and a gate.

6. A data transmission method of a digest that summarizes information data from a data processor, comprising the steps of:

storing the information data;

receiving related information with respect to a user;

generating the digest that summarizes the stored information data upon receipt of the related information based thereon;

retaining the generated digest;

receiving a transmission request signal that requires a transmission of the digest; and

transmitting the retained digest upon receipt of the transmission request signal.

7. The data transmission method according to claim 6, wherein the digest is transmitted to the mobile terminal.

8. The data transmission method according to claim 7, wherein the related information to be received is assigned with information indicating a time length, and a time length for replaying the digest is generated conforming to the information indicating the time length.

9. The data transmission method according to claim 6, wherein the related information comprises preference data information indicating a user'"'"'s preference.

10. A mobile terminal capable of receiving a digest that summarizes information data, comprising:
