Information processing system, hand held cellular phone, and information processing method
First Claim
1. An information processing system comprising:
- an information providing medium attached to an object, said information providing medium having an IC chip for storing information corresponding to the object and a first antenna connected to the IC chip; and
a cellular phone having a second antenna configured for electro-magnetically interacting with the first antenna to obtain the information when the cellular phone is made close to the information providing medium, means for storing the obtained information in the cellular phone, an information reading unit for processing the information into an audible or visible form, a first means for representing the processed information, and means for transmitting the stored information to additional devices.

Abstract
An information processing system comprises an information providing medium that stores electronic parts capable of reading information in an electromagnetic or optical manner, the information providing medium parts being attached to an entity in order to provide information associated with the entity; a hand held terminal device having an information read function that reads information from the information providing medium electronic parts in an electromagnetic or optical manner and record the information; and an information processing unit for retrieving reading and processing the information recorded in the hand held terminal device; wherein the information providing medium is inconspicuously attached to the entity. In this manner, the information can be recorded into the hand held terminal for later use by a user. In this way, in a case where an information user attempts to obtain information associated with an entity, such as commodity or advertising material, the information can be electronically recorded momentously and processed.
