Abstract

To alleviate the bother of web acceptance.

An acceptance system includes a web server that conducts web acceptance, and an acceptance device that conducts phone acceptance. A client terminal browses or operates a web page provided by the web server. The web server comprises: an access information registration section that registers browse/operation information about the browse or operation of the web page by the client terminal, such that the information is correlated with a phone number of the client terminal; and a transmitting section that transmits browse/operation information registered by the access-information registration section, to the acceptance device in accordance with a request from the acceptance device. The acceptance device comprises: an access information acquiring section that acquires, from the web server, the browse/operation information registered by the access information registration section, such that the information is correlated with the phone number of the client; a number specifying section that specifies the phone number of the client terminal on the basis of a call signal from a phone call made by the client terminal; and a client information providing section that provides information indicating a content browsed or operated on the web page by the client, on the basis of the phone number specified by the number specifying section and the browse/operation information acquired by the access information acquiring section.

wherein the client information providing section provides a phone operator currently engaged with a phone due to the call signal, with information about the latest search of the searches conducted on the web page by the client.

3. The acceptance device according to claim 2,

wherein the web page is a reservation reception site,

wherein the access information acquiring section acquires at least information specifying an object for reservation and information about reservation time and date, and

wherein the client information providing section provides the phone operator with information about the object for the reservation and the reservation time and date in the latest search.

4. The acceptance device according to claim 1,

wherein the access information acquiring section acquires, as the browse/operation information, information specifying the web page accessed most recently by the client,

wherein the client information providing section provides an operator currently engaged with the phone due to the call signal, with the web page accessed most recently by the client, on the basis of information acquired by the access information acquiring section,

wherein the acceptance device further comprises an edit permitting section that gives the phone operator an editorial right for the web page provided by the client information providing section, and

wherein, the web page browsed or operated by the client is shared with the phone operator.

5. The acceptance device according to claim 1, further comprising a positional-information acquiring section that acquires positional information about the client,

wherein the client information providing section provides a phone operator currently engaged with a phone due to the call signal, with information indicating content browsed or operated on the web page by the client and positional information about the client acquired by the positional-information acquiring section.

6. An acceptance system including a client terminal, a web server, and an acceptance device,

wherein the client terminal browses or operates a web page provided by the web server,

wherein the web server includes:

an access information registration section that registers browse/operation information about the browse or operation of the web page by the client terminal, such that the information is correlated with a phone number of the client terminal; and

a transmitting section that transmits browse/operation information registered by the access-information registration section, to the acceptance device in accordance with a request from the acceptance device,

wherein the acceptance device comprises;

an access information acquiring section that acquires, from the web server, the browse/operation information registered by the access information registration section, such that the information is correlated with the phone number of the client;

a number specifying section that specifies the phone number of the client terminal on the basis of a call signal from a phone call made by the client; and

a client information providing section that provides information indicating a content browsed or operated on the web page by the client, on the basis of the phone number specified by the number specifying section and the browse/operation information acquired by the access information acquiring section.

7. The acceptance system according to claim 6,

wherein the client terminal transmits the positional information of the terminal to the web server,

wherein the web server further comprises a positional-information registration section that registers the positional information of the client terminal received from the client terminal, such that the information is correlated with the phone number of this client terminal,

wherein the access information acquiring section acquires browse/operation information registered by the access information registration section, and positional information registered by the positional-information registration section, and

wherein the client-information providing section provides information indicating content browsed or operated on the web page and information indicating the position of the client terminal, on the basis of the phone number specified by the number specifying section.

8. The acceptance system according to claim 7,

wherein, on condition that the positional information of the terminal is transmitted to the web server, the client terminal is enabled to call the acceptance device.

9. The acceptance system according to claim 8,

wherein, on condition that the phone number of the client terminal is specified by the number specifying section, the access information acquiring section acquires browse/operation information correlated with the specified phone number from the web server.

10. The acceptance system according to claim 6,

wherein the web server further comprises a page providing section that provides the client terminal with a web page in which an operation area for calling the acceptance device is included,

wherein the access information registration section registers browse/operation information about a client'"'"'s browsing or operating a web page, provided by the page providing section, such that the browse/operation information is correlated with the phone number of the client terminal.

11. An acceptance system including a client terminal, a web server, and an acceptance device,
