When the content selection unit 24 receives a content acquisition notification composed of the telephone number and content ID of the terminal that received the standard version content from the WEB server 21, the content acquisition notification reception operation 243 is activated (step 2431).

  Using the telephone number and content ID received in step 2431 as a key, the content notification history table 241 is searched, the entry that matches the condition is deleted, and the content acquisition notification receiving operation 243 is terminated (step 2432).

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of the timer event reception operation 244 in the content selection unit 24. When the content selection unit 24 receives a timer event from the timer 26, the timer event reception operation 244 is activated (step 2441).

  The content selection unit 24 acquires the current year / month / day / hour / minute / second from the clock 25 (step 2442). The content selection unit 24 searches the content notification history table 241 using the current date and time acquired in step 2442 as a key, and searches for an entry in which a certain time (for example, 5 minutes) or more has elapsed from the notification date and time to the current date and time. (Step 2443).

  If one or more entries matching the condition are found in step 2443, the process proceeds to step 2445. On the other hand, if an entry matching the condition cannot be searched, the process proceeds to step 2447 (step 2444).

  The simplified content 233 of the content ID described in the entry searched in Step 2444 is acquired from the content server 23 and received in Step 2444 described in the entry searched in Step 2444. The message is transmitted to the number using the SMS transmission unit 22 (step 2445).

  The entry searched in step 2443 is deleted (step 2446). The timer 26 is set so that the timer event reception operation 244 is started again after a certain time (for example, after 5 minutes), and the timer event reception operation 244 is ended (step 2447).

  In the above description, the SMS including the content ID and the SMS including the simplified content main body are expressed using the identifier (for example, PUSH or CONT), but the SMS transmission in the distribution apparatus 2 is performed. The unit 22 has two telephone numbers for content ID transmission and simplified version content transmission, and the SMS receiver 15 has been transmitted based on the calling telephone number notified by the caller ID notification function. The type of SMS may be determined.

  In the above description, the travel destination is determined using MCC, but may be determined by combining MCC and MNC. A country code may be used instead of MCC.

  Further, the latitude and longitude of the location where the packet-compatible mobile base station 4 and the packet-incompatible mobile base station 5 are installed in advance are registered in the packet-compatible mobile base station 4 and the packet-incompatible mobile base station 5. Alternatively, the latitude / longitude information may be notified to the content selection unit 24 together with the location registration, and the content selection unit 24 may determine the destination based on the latitude / longitude notified from the subscriber location registration server 9.

  In the above description, an example in which information is distributed to the mobile terminal 1 that has roamed into the company area has been described. However, in the case of notifying the latitude / longitude information to the content selection unit 24 at the time of position registration, it is not roaming. Push distribution of information can also be performed (to a company contract terminal in the company area).

  According to this embodiment, when the mobile terminal 1 is in an area where the packet network cannot be used, or when the use of data roaming is refused due to the setting, the mobile phone carrier to which the mobile terminal 1 travels or its alliance The service provider can push-distribute information to mobile terminals (that is, mobile terminals that are roaming in) within the area of the company network.

  Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the third embodiment, when the mobile terminal 1 is in an area where the packet network cannot be used, or when the use of data roaming is rejected by setting, the mobile phone business of the subscriber (contractor) of the mobile terminal 1 Or a partner service provider pushes information to a mobile terminal (that is, a mobile terminal that is roaming out) in the area of the travel destination network.

  In the third embodiment, in contrast to the first embodiment, when the content selection unit 24 detects roaming out, the content ID is transmitted instead of sending the simplified version content after a predetermined time has elapsed. It is different in that the simplified version content is sent immediately without sending.

  FIG. 11 is a block diagram of a push delivery system according to the third embodiment of the present invention. A push delivery system according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The push delivery system according to the present embodiment includes a display control unit 12A instead of the display control unit 12 and a WEB server instead of the WEB server 21 with respect to the push delivery system according to the first embodiment of the present invention. 21A is installed, the content selection unit 24A is installed instead of the content selection unit 24, and the timer 26 is abolished.

  The display control unit 12A receives the notification of the content ID from the SMS receiving unit 15, receives the standard version content body from the wireless LAN communication unit 13 or the packet communication unit 14, and displays it on the display unit 11, or the SMS receiving unit 15 The SMS reception operation 121A for displaying the simplified version content arriving from is displayed on the display unit 11. Specifically, the display control unit 12 is provided in the form of an application (application) installed on a smartphone (high-function mobile phone) or a tablet terminal.

  In response to a content acquisition request received from the mobile terminal 1 through the Internet 6, the WEB server 21 </ b> A retrieves the content corresponding to the content ID presented in the request from the content server 23 and transmits it to the mobile terminal 1 through the Internet 6.

  The content selection unit 24A performs the roaming notification reception operation 242A instead of the roaming notification reception operation 242 with respect to the content selection unit 24 in the first embodiment, and does not have the content notification history table 241 inside, and the content acquisition notification The difference is that the reception operation 243 and the timer event reception operation 244 are not performed.

  The roaming notification receiving operation 242A receives a roaming-in or roaming-out event from the control network 8, searches the content management table 231 in the content server 23 for content that matches the conditions, and searches for the content of the searched content The simplified version content corresponding to the ID is acquired from the content server 23, and the SMS transmission unit 22 is instructed to transmit the simplified version content to the telephone number of the portable terminal 1 notified from the control network 8. Note that the simplified content may exceed the size that can be transmitted by SMS (about 70 to 140 characters), but the work of dividing into a plurality of SMS and transmitting by the so-called “concatenated SMS” method is the SMS transmitter. 22 does.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of the SMS reception operation 121A in the display control unit 12A. Upon receiving the SMS reception notification from the SMS receiving unit 15, the display control unit 12A activates the SMS receiving operation 121, and acquires the SMS main body received and stored in the SMS receiving unit 15 (step 1211A).

  If the SMS main body acquired in step 1211A includes an identifier (for example, CONT) indicating the simplified version content, the process proceeds to step 1213A. If the identifier (for example, CONT) indicating the simplified version content is not included, the SMS reception operation 121A is terminated (step 1212A).

  When the identifier indicating the simplified version content is detected in step 1212A, the wireless LAN communication unit 13 and the packet communication unit 14 are inquired as to whether or not the Internet 6 can be connected. When the wireless LAN communication unit 13 and / or the packet communication unit 14 can connect to the Internet 6 (that is, when communication with the WEB server 21 is possible), the process proceeds to step 1214A. When the wireless LAN communication unit 13 and the packet communication unit 14 cannot connect to the Internet 6 (that is, when communication with the WEB server 21 is impossible), the process proceeds to step 1216A (step 1213A).

  If it is determined in step 1213A that connection to the Internet 6 is possible, the content ID acquired in step 1212 and its own telephone number are transmitted to the WEB server 21 via the Internet 6 through the wireless LAN communication unit 13 or the packet communication unit 14. Then, the standard version content 232 corresponding to the content ID is acquired via the Internet 6 (step 1214A).

  The standard version content acquired in step 1214A is displayed on the display unit 11 (step 1215A). If it is determined in step 1213A that connection to the Internet 6 is impossible, the simplified version content acquired in step 1212A is displayed on the display unit 11 (step 1216A).

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the roaming notification reception operation 242A in the content selection unit 24A. When the content selection unit 24A receives from the subscriber location registration server 9 a roaming notification including the telephone number of the mobile terminal 1 that has roamed out and the MCC of the area (travel destination), the row notification reception operation 242A Start (step 2421A).

  The content selection unit 24A acquires the current year / month / day / hour / minute / second from the clock 25 (step 2422A). The content selection unit 24A uses the country code of the member country that can be identified from the telephone number of the mobile terminal 1 received in step 2421A, the MCC of the travel destination received in step 2421A, and the current date, time, and day of the week acquired in step 2422A. Then, the content management table 231 is searched, and the ID of the content that matches the condition is acquired (step 2423A).

  If one or more contents satisfying the condition are found in step 2423A, the process proceeds to step 2425A. When the content matching the conditions cannot be searched, the roaming notification receiving operation 242A is terminated (step 2424A).

  In step 2423A, the simplified version of the content that matches the conditions is acquired from the content server 23, and the SMS transmission unit 22 is used for the telephone number of the portable terminal 1 that has received the notification of the simplified version from the control network 8. (Step 2425A).

  Hereinafter, an example of the push delivery method using the present system will be specifically described with reference to FIG.

  First, Example 1 will be described. The first embodiment relates to information distribution to a roaming-out terminal that is refusing data roaming. In the first embodiment, when the owner of the mobile terminal 1 having a telephone number of 09012341234 contracted in Japan (country code 81) brings the mobile terminal 1 to Singapore (MCC525) and performs roaming out, the roaming out terminal An explanation will be given by taking as an example the case of distributing information to.

  Here, the administrator of the distribution apparatus 2 registers the standard version content and the simplified version content shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 in the content server 23 in advance, and the period, day of the week, and time zone shown in FIG. It is assumed that the delivery conditions for the destination MCC and member country code are set. Further, it is assumed that the mobile terminal 1 is configured to automatically set the roaming destination network but not to perform data roaming.

Location registration operation:
When the owner of the mobile terminal 1 who has a telephone number of 0901341234 contracted in Japan (country code 81) brings the mobile terminal 1 to Singapore (MCC525) and turns on the power of the mobile terminal, the SMS receiving unit 15 The location information is registered in the destination location registration server 8 through the corresponding mobile base station 5 or the packet compatible mobile base station 4. At this time, the ID (MCC / MNC: 525-01, for example) of the network where the portable terminal is located and the subscriber number (819012341234) are notified through the common line signal network.

  The destination location registration server 8 receives the location information (location registration information) of the mobile terminal 1 from the packet-capable mobile base station 4 or the non-packet-capable mobile base station 5 through the common line signal network (SS7, etc.). To do. In this case, since the contracting mobile phone carrier of the mobile terminal 1 that can be identified from the phone number of the mobile terminal 1 is other than its own company (corresponding to roaming in as seen from the operator having jurisdiction over the destination location registration server 8), the mobile terminal The location registration is performed in one subscriber location registration server 9. At this time, the subscriber location registration server 9 is notified of the telephone number (819012341234) of the mobile terminal 1 and the MCC (525) and MNC (01) of the network to which the travel location registration server 8 belongs.

  The subscriber location registration server 9 receives the location information (location registration information) of the portable terminal 1 from the travel destination location registration server 8 through the common line signal network (SS7 or the like). The subscriber location registration server 9 receives the location information registration and detects that its subscriber has roamed out to the Singapore network. Then, the content selection unit 24 is notified of the destination MNC (here, 525) and the subscriber number (81901341234).

  Upon receiving notification of the destination MNC (here, 525) and the subscriber number (819012341234) from the location registration server 8, the content selection unit 24 presents the current date, day of the week, time, destination country MNC, and subscriber country number. The content management table 231 is searched using as a key to search for content that matches the conditions. Here, a search is performed on Thursday, January 5, 2012 (day code 4) at 14:51:23 on the condition of the destination MNC = 525 and the member country code 81, and the content ID 00001 is obtained as a result of the search.

  The content selection unit 24 searches the content management table 231 for a simplified file name of the content corresponding to the content ID (here, 00001) obtained as a result of searching the content management table 231, and retrieves the simplified version from the content server 23. A file (here, 00001.txt) is obtained.

  The content selection unit 24 instructs the SMS transmission unit 22 to transmit the text described in the simplified version file (00001.txt in this case) acquired from the content server 23 to 81901341234. At this time, an identifier indicating the simplified version content and a content ID (here, CONT = 00001) are inserted at the beginning of the text.

  Since the text received from the content selection unit 24 exceeds the size that can be transmitted / received by SMS, the SMS transmitting unit 22 divides the text into a plurality of SMS and is generally called a concatenated SMS. The data is transmitted to the SMS receiver 15 through the line 7 and the packet-compatible mobile base station 4 or the packet-incompatible mobile base station 5. The SMS receiving unit 15 receives and connects the dividedly transmitted SMS, and sends an SMS reception notification to the display control unit 12 after the connection is completed.

  The display control unit 12 receives the SMS reception notification from the SMS receiving unit 15 and acquires the text. Since the identifier indicating the simplified content and the content ID (CONT = 00001) are included at the beginning of the text, it is determined that the arrived SMS is the simplified content. At this time, the content ID “00001” is extracted from the SMS text.

  The display control unit 12 inquires of the wireless LAN communication unit 13 and the packet communication unit whether the connection to the Internet 6 is possible, but the mobile terminal 1 is set not to perform data roaming. Get an answer that Internet connection is not possible. For this reason, the received simplified version content is displayed on the display unit 11.

  Next, Example 2 will be described. The second embodiment relates to information distribution to a roaming-out terminal that is permitting data roaming. In the second embodiment, when the owner of the mobile terminal 1 having a telephone number of 09012341234 contracted in Japan (country code 81) brings the mobile terminal 1 to Singapore (MCC525) and performs roaming out, the roaming out terminal An explanation will be given by taking as an example the case of distributing information to.

  Here, the administrator of the distribution apparatus 2 registers the standard version content and the simplified version content shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 in the content server 23 in advance, and the period, day of the week, and time zone shown in FIG. It is assumed that the delivery conditions for the destination MCC and member country code are set. In addition, it is assumed that the mobile terminal 1 is configured to automatically set the roaming destination network and further perform data roaming.

Location registration operation:
When the owner of the mobile terminal 1 who has a telephone number of 0901341234 contracted in Japan (country code 81) brings the mobile terminal 1 to Singapore (MCC525) and turns on the power of the mobile terminal, the SMS receiving unit 15 The location information is registered in the destination location registration server 8 through the corresponding mobile base station 5 or the packet compatible mobile base station 4. At this time, the ID (MCC / MNC: 525-01, for example) of the network where the portable terminal is located and the subscriber number (819012341234) are notified through the common line signal network.

  The destination location registration server 8 receives the location information (location registration information) of the mobile terminal 1 from the packet-capable mobile base station 4 or the non-packet-capable mobile base station 5 through the common line signal network (SS7, etc.). To do. In this case, since the contracting mobile phone carrier of the mobile terminal 1 that can be identified from the phone number of the mobile terminal 1 is other than its own company (corresponding to roaming in as seen from the operator having jurisdiction over the destination location registration server 8), the mobile terminal The location registration is performed in one subscriber location registration server 9. At this time, the subscriber location registration server 9 is notified of the telephone number (819012341234) of the mobile terminal 1 and the MCC (525) and MNC (01) of the network to which the travel location registration server 8 belongs.

  The subscriber location registration server 9 receives the location information (location registration information) of the portable terminal 1 from the travel destination location registration server 8 through the common line signal network (SS7 or the like). The subscriber location registration server 9 receives the location information registration and detects that its subscriber has roamed out to the Singapore network. Then, the content selection unit 24 is notified of the destination MNC (here, 525) and the subscriber number (81901341234).

  Upon receiving notification of the destination MNC (here, 525) and the subscriber number (819012341234) from the location registration server 8, the content selection unit 24 presents the current date, day of the week, time, destination country MNC, and subscriber country number. The content management table 231 is searched using as a key to search for content that matches the conditions. Here, a search is performed on Thursday, January 5, 2012 (day code 4) at 14:51:23 on the condition of the destination MNC = 525 and the member country code 81, and the content ID 00001 is obtained as a result of the search.

  The content selection unit 24 searches the content management table 231 for a simplified file name of the content corresponding to the content ID (here, 00001) obtained as a result of searching the content management table 231, and retrieves the simplified version from the content server 23. A file (here, 00001.txt) is obtained.

  The content selection unit 24 instructs the SMS transmission unit 22 to transmit the text described in the simplified version file (00001.txt in this case) acquired from the content server 23 to 81901341234. At this time, an identifier indicating the simplified version content and a content ID (here, CONT = 00001) are inserted at the beginning of the text.

  Since the text received from the content selection unit 24 exceeds the size that can be transmitted / received by SMS, the SMS transmitting unit 22 divides the text into a plurality of SMS and is generally called a concatenated SMS. The data is transmitted to a plurality of SMS receivers 15 through the line 7 and the packet-compatible mobile base station 4 or the packet-incompatible mobile base station 5.

  The SMS receiving unit 15 receives and connects the dividedly transmitted SMS, and sends an SMS reception notification to the display control unit 12 after the connection is completed.

  The display control unit 12 receives the SMS reception notification from the SMS receiving unit 15 and acquires the text. Since the identifier indicating the simplified content and the content ID (CONT = 00001) are included at the beginning of the text, it is determined that the arrived SMS is the simplified content. At this time, the content ID “00001” is extracted from the SMS text.

  The display control unit 12 inquires of the wireless LAN communication unit 13 and the packet communication unit 14 whether or not the connection to the Internet 6 is possible, but the mobile terminal 1 is set to perform data roaming. Get an answer to internet connection. Therefore, the content ID (00001) is presented to the WEB server 21 through the wireless LAN communication unit 13 and the wireless LAN access point 3 or the packet communication unit 14 and the packet-compatible mobile base station 4 to request the standard version content. To do.

  The WEB server 21 searches the content management table 231 for the standard version file name of the content corresponding to the requested content ID = 00001, and obtains a standard version file (00001.htm in this case) from the content server 23.

  The WEB server 21 transmits the standard version file (00001.htm in this case) acquired from the content server 23 to the display control unit via the Internet 6. When the display control unit 12 receives the standard version file (00001.htm in this case) from the WEB server 21, the display control unit 12 displays the received text on the display unit 11.

  In the above description, the SMS including the content ID and the SMS including the simplified content main body are expressed using the identifier (for example, PUSH or CONT), but the SMS transmission in the distribution apparatus 2 is performed. The unit 22 has two telephone numbers for content ID transmission and simplified version content transmission, and the SMS receiver 15 has been transmitted based on the calling telephone number notified by the caller ID notification function. The type of SMS may be determined.

  In the above description, the travel destination is determined using MCC, but may be determined by combining MCC and MNC. A country code may be used instead of MCC.

  Further, the latitude and longitude of the location where the packet-compatible mobile base station 4 and the packet-incompatible mobile base station 5 are installed in advance are registered in the packet-compatible mobile base station 4 and the packet-incompatible mobile base station 5. Alternatively, the latitude / longitude information may be notified to the content selection unit 24 together with the location registration, and the content selection unit 24 may determine the destination based on the latitude / longitude notified from the subscriber location registration server 9.

  In the above description, an example in which information is distributed to the mobile terminal 1 in the roaming destination area at the time of roaming out is shown. However, when the latitude / longitude information is also notified to the content selection unit 24 at the time of location registration, If it is not roaming (to a terminal in its own area), information can be pushed and distributed.

  According to the present embodiment, when the mobile terminal 1 is in an area where the packet network cannot be used, or when the use of data roaming is refused by setting, the mobile phone business of the subscriber (contractor) of the mobile terminal 1 Or a partner service provider can push-distribute information to mobile terminals in the area of the travel destination network (that is, mobile terminals that are roaming out).

  Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the fourth embodiment, when the mobile terminal 1 is in an area where the packet network cannot be used or when the use of data roaming is rejected by setting, the mobile phone business of the subscriber (contractor) of the mobile terminal 1 Or a partner service provider pushes information to a mobile terminal (that is, a mobile terminal that is roaming out) in the area of the travel destination network.

  The fourth embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the mobile terminal 1 acquires all standard version content from the content server 23B in advance and stores it in the content storage unit 16, and from the content selection unit 24B. When the content ID is received, the standard version content corresponding to the notified content ID is selected from the contents stored in advance and displayed.

  FIG. 14 is a block diagram of a push delivery system according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. With reference to the figure, a push delivery system according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. The push delivery system according to the present embodiment is different from the push delivery system according to the first embodiment of the present invention in that a display control unit 12B is installed instead of the display control unit 12, and a content storage unit 16 and a timer 17 are provided.

The content storage unit 16 and the display control unit 12B may be provided as one application.

  The stored content management table 161 is a table showing a list of stored standard version content. The standard version content 162 is the same content as the standard version content 232 stored in the content server 23B.

  The content accumulation operation 163 is performed every time a timer event is received from the timer 17, and requests all standard version contents 232 in the content server 23 from the WEB server 21 </ b> B in the distribution apparatus 2. This is an operation for recording the ID and file name of the content stored in the stored content management table 161 while storing.

  The timer 17 is a timer similar to the timer 26 in the first embodiment. In response to a content acquisition request received from the mobile terminal 1 through the Internet 6, the WEB server 21 </ b> B retrieves content corresponding to the content ID presented in the request from the content server 23 and transmits it to the mobile terminal 1 through the Internet 6. When a content acquisition request is received from the mobile terminal 1 through the Internet 6, a content acquisition notification composed of the telephone number of the mobile terminal 1 is transmitted to the content selection unit 24B.

  The content server 23B is different from the content server 23 in the first embodiment in that the content server 23B has a content management table 231B instead of the content management table 231 and does not have the simplified content 233.

  The content selection unit 24B has a content owner list 241B instead of the content notification history table 241 and a roaming notification reception operation 242B instead of the roaming notification reception operation 242 with respect to the content selection unit 24 in the first embodiment. The content acquisition notification reception operation 243B is performed instead of the content acquisition notification reception operation 243, and the timer event reception operation 244B is performed instead of the timer event reception operation 244. The content owner list 241B is a table that records the telephone number of the mobile terminal 1 storing the content and the last download date and time.

  The roaming notification receiving operation 242B receives a roaming-in or roaming-out event from the control network 8, searches the content holder table 241B using the telephone number notified from the control network 8 as a key, and holds content Searches the content management table 231B in the content server 23 for content that matches the conditions, and sends the content ID of the searched content to the telephone number of the portable terminal 1 that has received the notification from the control network 8 The SMS transmission unit 22 is instructed to do so.

  When receiving the content acquisition notification from the WEB server 21B, the content acquisition notification receiving operation 243B records the telephone number of the mobile terminal 1 that has downloaded the content and the last download date and time in the content notification history table 241B.

  When a timer event is received from the timer 26, the timer event reception operation 244B checks the content owner table 241B and deletes an entry that has passed a predetermined time or more (for example, one month or more) from the last download date.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of a stored content management table 161 that shows a list of contents recorded in the content storage unit 16 and stored in the content storage unit 16. The stored content management table 161 includes a content ID 1611 and a standard version file 1612.

  The content ID 1611 is an ID that uniquely indicates the content stored in the content storage unit 16. The standard version file 1612 is an item for recording the file name of the content distributed and accumulated through the Internet 6.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of a content management table 231B that shows a list of contents recorded in the content server 23 and stored in the content server 23. The content management table 231B is different from the content management table 231 in the first embodiment in that the simplified version file 2318 is not provided.

  FIG. 17 shows an example of a content owner list 241B that is recorded in the content selection unit 24 and records the telephone number and the last download date and time of the mobile terminal 1 that has already downloaded and stored the content via the Internet 6. FIG. The content owner list 241B includes a content owner 2411 and a last download date 2412.

  The content holder 2411B is an area in which the telephone number of the mobile terminal 1 that has already downloaded and stored the content via the Internet 6 is described. The last download date 2412B is an area for recording the last download date.

  FIG. 18 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the SMS reception operation 121B in the display control unit 12B. Upon receiving the SMS reception notification from the SMS receiving unit 15, the display control unit 12B activates the SMS receiving operation 121B, and acquires the SMS main body received and stored in the SMS receiving unit 15 (step 1211B).

  If the SMS main body acquired in step 1211B includes an identifier (for example, PUSH) indicating the content ID, the process proceeds to step 1213B. If an identifier indicating the content ID (for example, PUSH) is not included, the SMS reception operation 121B is terminated (step 1212B).

  The display control unit 12B searches the stored content management table 161 using the content ID acquired in step 1212B as a key (step 1213B). As a result of the search, if standard version content corresponding to the content ID is accumulated, the process proceeds to step 1215B. If the standard version content corresponding to the content ID is not stored, the SMS reception operation 121B is terminated (step 1214B). The retrieved standard version content is acquired from the content storage unit 16 and displayed on the display unit 11 (step 1215B).

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing an example of the content accumulation operation 163 in the content accumulation unit 16. When the content storage unit 16 receives a timer event from the timer 17, the content storage unit 16 starts the content storage operation 163 (step 1631).

  The content storage unit 16 inquires of the wireless LAN communication unit 13 and the packet communication unit 14 whether or not connection to the Internet 6 is possible. When the wireless LAN communication unit 13 and / or the packet communication unit 14 can be connected to the Internet 6 (that is, when communication with the WEB server 21B is possible), the process proceeds to step 1633. When both the wireless LAN communication unit 13 and the packet communication unit 14 cannot connect to the Internet 6 (that is, when communication with the WEB server 21B is impossible), the process proceeds to step 1635 (step 1632).

  If it is determined in step 1632 that it is possible to connect to the Internet 6, its own telephone number is transmitted to the WEB server 21B via the Internet 6 through the wireless LAN communication unit 13 or the packet communication unit 14, and all of the phone numbers are transmitted via the Internet 6. The standard version content 232 is downloaded in a batch (step 1633).

  The content storage unit 16 describes the content ID and file name of the standard version content 232 downloaded in batch in step 1632 in the stored content management table 161 (step 1634).

  The timer 17 is set so that the content accumulation operation 163 is started again after a certain time (for example, one month later), and the content accumulation operation 163 is terminated (step 1635).

Search is performed (step 2443B).

  If an entry matching the condition is found in step 2443B, the process proceeds to step 2445B. If no entry matching the condition is found, the process proceeds to step 2446B (step 2444B). The entry searched in step 2444B is deleted (step 2445B).

  The timer 26 is set so that the timer event reception operation 244B is activated again after a certain time (for example, one month later), and the timer event reception operation 244B is terminated (step 2446B).

  Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 14, the push delivery method using this system is demonstrated concretely. In the present embodiment, when the owner of the mobile terminal 1 who has a telephone number of 0901341234 contracted in Japan (country code 81) brings the mobile terminal 1 to Singapore (MCC525) and performs roaming out, the roaming out terminal An explanation will be given by taking as an example the case of distributing information to.

  Here, the administrator of the distribution apparatus 2 registers the standard version content and the simplified version content shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 in the content server 23B in advance, and further, the period, day of the week, and time zone shown in FIG. It is assumed that the delivery conditions for the destination MCC and member country code are set.

  Furthermore, it is assumed that the timer event reception operation 244B is executed when the distribution apparatus 2 is activated, and thereafter the timer event reception operation 244B operates periodically. Similarly, it is assumed that the content storage operation 163 is executed when the mobile terminal 1 is activated, and thereafter the content storage operation 163 operates periodically. Further, it is assumed that the mobile terminal 1 is configured to automatically set the roaming destination network but not to perform data roaming.

Content accumulation operation:
In the environment where the owner of the portable terminal 1 who has a telephone number of 0901341234 contracted in Japan (country code 81) stays in Japan (when packet communication is available) or can use a wireless LAN such as a hotel at a travel destination. When the terminal 1 is turned on, the content storage operation 163 is activated (in this case, it is assumed that the wireless LAN can be used).

  The content storage unit 16 inquires of the wireless LAN communication unit 13 and the packet communication unit 14 whether the Internet can be used, and receives a notification from the wireless LAN communication unit 13 that the Internet connection is possible. Then, through the wireless LAN communication unit 13, the wireless LAN access point 3, and the Internet 6, the telephone number (811901234234) is presented to the WEB server 21B, and all the standard version contents 232 stored in the content server 23B.

Location registration operation:
When the owner of the mobile terminal 1 brings the mobile terminal 1 to Singapore (MCC525) and turns on the power of the mobile terminal, the SMS receiver 15 passes through the packet-incompatible mobile base station 5 or the packet-compatible mobile base station 4. The location information is registered in the destination location registration server 8. At this time, the ID (MCC / MNC: 525-01, for example) of the network where the portable terminal is located and the subscriber number (819012341234) are notified through the common line signal network.

  The destination location registration server 8 receives the location information (location registration information) of the mobile terminal 1 from the packet-capable mobile base station 4 or the non-packet-capable mobile base station 5 through the common line signal network (SS7, etc.). To do. In this case, since the contracting mobile phone carrier of the mobile terminal 1 that can be identified from the phone number of the mobile terminal 1 is other than its own company (corresponding to roaming in as seen from the operator having jurisdiction over the destination location registration server 8), the mobile terminal The location registration is performed in one subscriber location registration server 9. At this time, the subscriber location registration server 9 is notified of the telephone number (819012341234) of the mobile terminal 1 and the MCC (525) and MNC (01) of the network to which the travel location registration server 8 belongs.

  The subscriber location registration server 9 receives the location information (location registration information) of the portable terminal 1 from the travel destination location registration server 8 through the common line signal network (SS7 or the like). The subscriber location registration server 9 receives the location information registration and detects that its subscriber has roamed out to the Singapore network.
