Abstract

When data transmission/reception is performed between different services on a network, data acquired by one of the services needs to be updated to the other of the services after being once downloaded to a user terminal. In the present invention, information for an access and charging of a fee is notified, as appropriate, to a server in a service requiring the information, and information for a data request or an access is notified from the server to a server in the other service. Because a data transfer is performed between the servers, data transmission/reception can be performed smoothly without the intervention of a user terminal.

Claims

1. A terminal device in a data transmission/reception system including the terminal device, a data providing subsystem, and a data storing subsystem connected to each other via a network, the terminal device comprising:

a network processor to conduct connection to the network;

a user interface to input a user'"'"'s instruction;

a display to conduct display output of an image; and

a controller to control respective elements in the terminal device,

the controller outputting a display output requesting an input of first information to the display to get access permission of first data retained by a first server included in the data providing subsystem,

the controller giving a notice of the first information input by the user interface to the first server via the network processor,

the controller outputting a display output to the display to urge selection of a storage destination of the first data,

in a case where the data storing subsystem is selected as the storage destination by an input from the user interface, the controller giving a notice of second information for accessing a second server included in the data storing subsystem to the first server via the network processor together with an instruction to send the first data to the second server specified as a data sending destination.

2. The terminal device according to claim 1, wherein the first information includes access information and payment information of the user.

5. The terminal device according to claim 1, wherein the control unit receives a transmission/reception situation of the first data from the first server to the second server, via the network processor, and outputs a ratio of transmitted/received data to a total amount of the first data to the display output unit on the basis of the transmission/reception situation.

6. The terminal device according to claim 1, wherein

the display conducts the display output of an image of a list display of a plurality of data storing subsystems connected to the terminal device via the network as a storage destination of data acquired from the data providing subsystem, one data storing subsystem being selected from among the plurality of data storing subsystems displayed in the list display as the storage destination on the basis of an input from the user interface.

3. A terminal device in a data transmission/reception system including the terminal device, a data providing subsystem, and a data storing subsystem connected to each other via a network, the terminal device comprising:

a network processor to conduct connection to the network;

a user interface to input a user'"'"'s instruction;

a display to conduct display output of an image; and

a controller to control respective elements in the terminal device,

the controller giving a notice to a second server included in the data storing subsystem to cause the second server to issue an acquisition request for first data retained by a first server included in the data providing subsystem to the first server, via the network processor together with authentication information that authenticates access to the first data, and

thereby the control unit causing sending of the first data from the first server to the second server.

4. The terminal device according to claim 3, wherein the authentication information includes third information that permits access to the first data.

7-12. -12. (canceled)

13. A data transmission/reception method conducted by a data storing subsystem in a data transmission/reception system including a terminal device, a data providing subsystem, and the data storing subsystem,

in a case where information for accessing first data retained by a first server in the data providing subsystem is received from the terminal device, a second server in the data storing subsystem issuing an acquisition request of the first data to the first server, and sending of the first data from the first server to the second server being caused to be executed.

14. The data transmission/reception method according to claim 13, wherein in a case where a delivery request for the first data is issued by the terminal device during a period of execution of sending of the first data from the first server to the second server, the second server delivers the first data sent from the first server to the terminal device successively.

15. A data transmission/reception method conducted by a data providing subsystem in a data transmission/reception system including a terminal device, the data providing subsystem, and a data storing subsystem,

in a case where a sending instruction of first data retained by the first server in the data providing subsystem with a second server in the data storing subsystem specified as a data sending destination and information for accessing the second server are received from the terminal device, sending of the first data from the first server to the second server being caused to be executed.
