INFORMATION PROVIDING DEVICE AND PORTABLE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL

摘要

There are provided a portable communication terminal (1) having a telephone communication means (26) which accesses to a server (7) or a data base (8) connected to a radio communication network (2) so as to receive multimedia information from the server (7) or the data base (8) and a human-machine interface means (22) to which the multimedia information is supplied, and a portable communication terminal server (7) having a data base (7DB) in which a multimedia information is stored, an external communication processing means which accesses to a server (10) connected to an external information communication network (4) and receives an information from the server (10), a data processing means for processing or converting the information, and a transfer means for transferring the information from the external communication processing means or the data processing means to the communication terminal (1) via the portable telephone system network (2). Accordingly, the portable communication terminal is small-sized and has a good portability, so that an operability is excellent. By the portable communication terminal, the multimedia information can be obtained from the server connected to a radio telephone communication network or the external information communication network. Furthermore, the obtained multimedia information can be outputted to the human-machine interface. Furthermore, even if a terminal application software, a viewer or the like is not intentionally installed into the portable communication terminal, the portable communication terminal can access to the communication terminal connected to the external information communication network and can obtain the multimedia information from the communication terminal. Furthermore, after the obtained information is processed or converted in accordance with an output capability of the human-machine interface, the information can be outputted to the human-machine interface.
