Information service system 10 comprises a server 12 in which provision information such as advertisement, guidance, explanation, news, disaster information and other information is stored, a plurality of information service terminals 14 established at predetermined locations and connected to the server to have the location specified by the server 12 and to receive and provide the provision information according to the corresponding location and a user's terminal 16 positioned at predetermined location to display the same provision information as that provided by the information service terminal 14 established at the corresponding location among the plurality of information service terminals 14. The server specifies the information service terminal established at the location according to the current location of the user's terminal and transmits to the user's terminal the provision information to be provided by the specified information service terminal 14. Thus, by reducing the load of the information service terminals such as a digital signage, the light provision of the information can be achieved and the information service terminals can be simply established at low cost. Therefore, a chance of the provision of the information such as advertisement, etc. can be secured and the user's terminal can share the information such as the advertisement with a simple operation.
An information service system comprising a server having a processor and a memory in which content of a provision information such as advertisement, guidance, explanation, news, disaster information and other information is stored, a plurality of information service terminals established in predetermined locations and connected to the server to have the location specified by the server and to receive and provide the provision information according to the corresponding location and a user's mobile terminal connected to at least one of the plurality of information service terminals via a short-range wireless communication protocol, wherein the plurality of information service terminals comprise identification information dispatch means configured to always send only corresponding identification information to said user's mobile terminal located at said predetermined locations and the user's mobile terminal comprising identification dispatch means to transmit the identification information received from the information service terminal to the server and reception means configured to receive the provision information from the server, wherein the server specifies the information service terminal established at the location corresponding to the current position of the user's mobile terminal using the identification information sent from the user's mobile terminal and sends to the user's mobile terminal the same provision information as that provided by the specified information service terminal, whereby the user's mobile terminal obtains the same content as that displayed on the specified information service terminal.
An information service method comprising the steps of storing a content of provision information such as advertisement, guidance, explanation, news, disaster information and other information in a server having a processor and a memory, establishing a plurality of information service terminals connected to the server to display the provision information, wherein a user's mobile terminal located at predetermined locations, connected to at least one of the plurality of information service terminals via a short-range wireless communication protocol, and being able to receive the same provision information as that of the corresponding information service terminal while each of the information service terminals to the user's mobile terminal always sends only the identification information without sending its own provision information whereby the user's mobile terminal receives the identification information sent by the information service terminal established at predetermined locations to transmit the received identification information to the server and the server specifies the information service terminal established at the location corresponding to the current position of the user's mobile terminal by the identification information sent from the user's mobile terminal to send to the user's mobile terminal the provision information of the corresponding information service terminal established at predetermined locations, whereby the user's mobile terminal obtains the same content as that displayed on the specified information service terminal.
