When the service-user computer transmits a request signal for keyword keyskin set information according to the type of the keyword keyskin which covers a keypad to a keyword keyskin set information providing server, the keyword keyskin set information providing server receives the signal, retrieves the keyword keyskin set information and a unique identification value of the keyword keyskin set information providing server from a recording medium on the basis of the received data, and transmits the retrieved data to the service-user computer. The service-user computer receives the data transmitted from the keyword keyskin set information providing server, and stores the keyword keyskin set information and the unique identification value of the keyword keyskin set information providing server, which have been received, in a recording medium. The service-user computer receives a hot-key command, which the user has inputted through a keyword expressed on a keyword-keyskin keypocket covering the keypad; retrieves a value corresponding to the received hot-key command, the unique identification value of the service user, and the unique identification value of the keyword keyskin set information providing server from the recording medium; generates a request signal for an Internet service on the basis of the retrieved data; and then transmits the generated request signal to a service relay server. The service relay server receives the request signal; retrieves points of the service user, activity results of the keyword keyskin set information providing server, a unique identification value of the service relay server, and request-keyword-related data from a recording medium on the basis of the received data; calculates and stores the points of the service user and the activity results of the keyword keyskin set information providing server in the recording medium; generates a request signal for an Internet service on the basis of the retrieved data; and transmits the generated request signal to a service page providing server. The service page providing server receives the signal; retrieves points of the service user, activity results of the service relay server, and request-keyword-related service page data from a recording medium on the basis of the received data; calculates and stores the points of the service user and the activity results of the service relay server in the recording medium; and transmits an Internet service page to the service-user computer on the basis of the retrieved data.
