【発明の名称】情報提供装置及びプログラムを記録した機械読み取り可能な記録媒体
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3000972
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
An information providing system is mainly configured by a terminal and an information storage equipment. The terminal is manipulated by a user to issue an information obtainment request, wherein it has a specific output condition, which is defined by a picture output function and/or a sound output function. The information storage equipment extracts a number of digital information elements to suit the information obtainment request, so that the digital information elements are synthesized together into digital information in accordance with a default (information) providing manner, which represents a specific display screen whose screen size and layout are determined in advance. Then, the digital information is transmitted to the terminal, which in turn provides the user with content of the digital information by using pictures and/or sounds. If the default providing manner does not match with the output function of the terminal, the information storage equipment changes the default providing manner by one of change methods, which is selected in consideration of the preset priority. Thus, the digital information elements are synthesized together into the digital information in accordance with the changed providing manner. Incidentally, if the terminal does not have a necessary software module required for outputting the digital information, the terminal downloads it from its resource.
