A service providing system according to the present invention is adapted to systematically providing a diversity of services for the user. The service providing system includes a service providing apparatus (10; 210) and an input device (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25; 220). The service providing apparatus (10; 210) comprises a computer unit (12) capable of executing a predetermined program each having its program ID. Each of the services also has its service ID associated with at least one of the programs. The user can input a service ID through the input device (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25; 220) to the service providing apparatus (10; 210) to specify a desired service. The computer unit (12) has a CPU (34) and a memory (33). The memory (33) has a predetermined relational table between the service ID and corresponding program IDs which are appropriate to the service ID. The service providing apparatus (10; 210) is operated to select at least one of program IDs from the relational table on the basis of the inputted service ID to display a service information table (D1 and D2) on its screen. The service providing apparatus (10; 210) thus constructed allows the user to select a procedure for the desired service from the service information table (D1 and D2), there by making it possible to execute the appropriate programs to perform various functions according to the selected procedure. <IMAGE> |
