Abstract

An information distribution service system includes a mobile terminal device with a communication part and another terminal device connected to the mobile terminal device via the communication part. The mobile terminal device includes a server function part that provides information to another terminal device; an email control part that sends information, regarding an access method for accessing the information with another terminal device, to another terminal device via an email; and a server access control part that operates the server function part so as to start processing for providing the information when another terminal device makes an access according to the access method.

Claims

1-19. -19. (canceled)

20. An information distribution service system including a mobile terminal device with a communication part and another terminal device connected to the mobile terminal device via the communication part, said information distribution service system including said mobile terminal device comprising:

a server function part that provides information to another terminal device;

an email control part that sends information, regarding an access method for accessing the information with another terminal device, to another terminal device via an email; and

a server access control part that operates the server function part so as to start processing for providing the information when another terminal device makes an access according to the access method.

21. The information distribution service system according to claim 20, wherein the processing for providing the information is processing that allows another terminal device to browse a disclosed folder of the mobile terminal device.

22. The information distribution service system according to claim 20, wherein the processing for providing the information is processing in which the mobile terminal device executes its function, installed therein, to obtain the information.

23. The information distribution service system according to claim 22, wherein the function installed in the mobile terminal device is a position measuring function using a GPS so that the information is positional information of the mobile terminal device.

24. The information distribution service system according to claim 20, wherein the information regarding the access method includes an address for specifying the mobile terminal device, information for specifying the processing for providing the information, and a port number used for communication with another terminal device.

25. The information distribution service system according to claim 24, wherein the port number is newly determined per each access made by another terminal device so that the server function part performs its setting operation.

39. The information distribution service system according to claim 21, wherein the information regarding the access method includes an address for specifying the mobile terminal device, information for specifying the processing for providing the information, and a port number used for communication with another terminal device.

40. The information distribution service system according to claim 22, wherein the information regarding the access method includes an address for specifying the mobile terminal device, information for specifying the processing for providing the information, and a port number used for communication with another terminal device.

26. A mobile terminal device which is connected to another terminal device, which preregistered, via a communication part, said mobile terminal device comprising:

a server function part that provides information to another terminal device;

an email control part that sends information, regarding an access method for accessing the information with another terminal device, to another terminal device via an email; and

a server access control part that operates the server function part so as to start processing for providing the information when another terminal device makes an access according to the access method.

27. The mobile terminal device according to claim 26, wherein the processing for providing the information is processing that allows another terminal device to browse a disclosed folder of the mobile terminal device.

28. The mobile terminal device according to claim 26, wherein the processing for providing the information is processing in which the mobile terminal device executes its function, installed therein, to obtain the information.

29. The mobile terminal device according to claim 28, wherein the function installed in the mobile terminal device is a position measuring function using a GPS so that the information is positional information of the mobile terminal device.

30. The mobile terminal device according to claim 26, wherein the information regarding the access method includes an address for specifying the mobile terminal device, information for specifying the processing for providing the information, and a port number used for communication with another terminal device.

31. The mobile terminal device according to claim 30, wherein the port number is newly determined per each access made by another terminal device so that the server function part performs its setting operation.

32. An information distribution service method for use in a system including a mobile terminal device with a communication part and another terminal device connected to the mobile terminal device via the communication part, said information distribution service method including the steps of:

providing the mobile terminal device with a server function part that provides information to another terminal device;

sending information, regarding an access method for accessing the information with another terminal device, to another terminal device via an email; and

operating the server function part so as to start processing for providing the information when another terminal device makes an access according to the access method.

33. The information distribution service method according to claim 32, wherein the processing for providing the information is processing that allows another terminal device to browse a disclosed folder of the mobile terminal device.
