Abstract:
A management server capable of improving the convenience of a content distribution service for a user who purchases a vehicular device is disclosed. The management server manages provision of a content distribution service for content execution device, which includes a vehicular device and a mobile communication terminal each installed with a cooperative application to execute content based on mutual cooperation. When user identification information transmitted from the content execution device may match user identification information managed by the user identification information management portion, the management server permits provision of the content distribution service for the content execution device regardless of whether or not a vehicular device included in the content execution device is registered.
Abstract:
An information acquisition system includes a communication terminal that reads an information code storing the point information and a service ID; and a server that stores point information and a service ID in association with each other, the communication terminal accessing the server and acquiring the point information from the server. The communication terminal extracts the point information and the service ID from the information code to transmit to the server the point information and the service ID. At a time of reception of the point information and the service ID, the server extracts, from the point information stored in the server, association point information corresponding to the point information that correlates with the service ID received from the communication terminal, and transmits the association point information to the communication terminal. The communication terminal outputs the point information, and the association point information received from the server.
Abstract:
A location information display system includes a portable communication terminal receiving location information of respective users belonging to a predetermined group from a server, and a vehicular communication device receiving the location information from the portable communication terminal and displaying icons indicating present locations of the respective users identified based on the received location information by superimposing the icons on a map screen. The vehicular communication device notifies the portable communication terminal of a selection condition. The portable communication terminal acquires the selection condition from the vehicular communication device, selects one or more users who satisfy the acquired selection condition, and transmits the location information of the selected users to the vehicular communication device.
Abstract:
A vehicle-repair support system including a communication terminal and a server is provided. The communication terminal obtains vehicle information from a vehicle. The server receives vehicle information from the communication terminal and supports repair of the vehicle. The server comprises an inquiry unit, a search unit and a search result notification unit. The inquiry unit makes an inquiry to a repair requester about a vehicle condition. Based on a result of the inquiry made by the inquiry unit, the search unit makes a search for information about similar cases which involve a symptom similar to a symptom of the vehicle targeted for the repair. The search result notification unit notifies a result of the search made by the search unit to the communication terminal.
Abstract:
An information code generation apparatus includes: a setting unit that specifies a destination position based on position specifying information included in coding information for generating an information code, wherein the setting unit acquires, from a database, environment information indicating information on a peripheral environment of the specified destination position, and sets a display range of a map image to be displayed by adjusting at least one of a center position or a display scale based on the destination position and the acquired environment information; and an information code generation unit that acquires, from the database, the map image having the display range set by the setting unit, and generates the information code by integrating the map image with the information code.
Abstract:
An information provision system includes: a reading section that reads an information code; a situation acquisition section that acquires a situation when the information code is read by the reading section; a determination section that determines a situation when the information code is read, based on (i) read information that is obtained by decoding the information code that is read and (ii) the situation acquired by the situation acquisition section; a provided information generation section that generates provided information that is different from the read information, the provided information matching with the situation when the information code is read; and a provision section that provides the provided information that is generated.
Abstract:
A facility display data creating device is provided. The device includes: a first processing unit that retrieves a first facility information group from a first database; a second processing unit that retrieves a second facility information group from a second database; a third processing unit that determines whether any of facilities indicated by the first facility information group corresponds to any of the facilities indicated by the second facility information group; and a fourth processing unit that creates display data to display facility information by combining and sorting the first and second facility information groups in an order of distance from a predetermined position, and that creates the display data to display the facility information of the corresponding facilities adjacently to each other and independently of the order of distance on condition that the corresponding facilities are determined.
Abstract:
An image display system includes: a server having a storage device that stores images; and a mobile terminal having a display device that displays the images acquired from the server. The mobile terminal includes: an operation input device that input a refinement condition of images and selects a display image; and a control device that sets a location related to a selected image as a destination. The server includes an extraction device that extracts multiple images according to the refinement condition obtained from the mobile terminal.
Abstract:
An information retrieval system includes a mobile communication terminal independently performing a retrieval service provided by a server that is placed outside a vehicle, and a vehicle device equipped to the vehicle and operating in cooperation with the mobile communication terminal to perform the retrieval service via the mobile communication terminal. The vehicle device includes a first vehicle-side input section that enables an input of an intended keyword by multiple times of user manipulation and a second vehicle-side input section that is preliminarily assigned with a frequently used keyword and enables an input of the frequently used keyword by single time of user manipulation. The mobile communication terminal includes a first terminal-side input section that enables an input of the intended keyword by multiple times of user manipulation and a second terminal-side input section enables an input of a predetermined keyword by at least two times of user manipulation.
Abstract:
An application program update system includes: a communication device having a cooperative application program for executing a content in cooperation with a portable communication terminal; a communication device update program storage device that stores a communication device update program for updating the cooperative application program; and a communication device update program acquisition device that inputs the communication device update program to the communication device when a version of the cooperative application program installed on the communication device does not match a version of the communication device update program.
