An information providing device comprises a portable communication terminal (1) provided with a telephone communication means (26) which receives multimedia information from a server (7) or a data base (8) connected to a radio communication network (2) by making access to the server (7) or data base (8) and a man-machine interface means (22) to which multimedia information is supplied; and the server (7) provided with a data base (7DB) for storing multimedia information, external communication processing means which receives information from a server (10) connected to an external information communication network (4) by making access to the server (10), data processing means for processing or converting the information received by the external communication processing means, and a transferring means which transfers information from the external communication processing means or the data processing means to the terminal (1) through a portable telephone system network (2). Therefore, the portable communication terminal can be reduced in size, can be improved in portability and operability, can acquire multimedia information from a server connected to a radio telephone communication network or external information communication network, and can output the information to a man-machine interface means. In addition, the portable communication terminal can acquire multimedia information from communication terminal connected to the external information communication network by making access to the communication terminal even when no terminal software, viewer, etc., are specially installed to the portable communication terminal. Further the portable communication terminal can output the information to the interface means after processing or converting the information in accordance with the outputting ability of the interface means.
