Abstract
An information terminal device includes an acquisition unit acquiring language identification information concerning a language used on a display screen, a storage unit storing address information of a server, a language identification information synthesizer synthesizing the language identification information into the address information, and a transmitter transmitting the address information to the server.
Claims21
A method of adding a predetermined program to a program operating on an information terminal device which is communicable with a server via a communication line, the method comprising:
- storing a first program and first link information corresponding to a second program differing from the first program, in a memory of the information terminal device;
- displaying the first link information on a display of the information terminal device;
- transmitting to the server, information containing at least one of first identification information for identifying the first program and second identification information for identifying the second program, when the first link information displayed on the display is selected;
- receiving the second program transmitted from the server in accordance with at least one of the first identification information and the second identification information;
- and
- updating, after receiving the second program, the first link information displayed on the display to second link information corresponding to a third program differing from the second program, and causing the second link information to be displayed on the display.

- storing a first program and first link information corresponding to a second program differing from the first program, in a memory of the information terminal device;
- displaying the first link information on a display of the information terminal device;
- transmitting to the server, information containing at least one of first identification information for identifying the first program and second identification information for identifying the second program, when the first link information displayed on the display is selected;
- receiving a release key for use in permitting the second program to be activated, the release key being transmitted from the server in accordance with at least one of the first identification information and the second identification information;
- and
- updating the first link information displayed on the display to second link information corresponding to a third program differing from the second program.
A method of adding a predetermined program to a program operating on an information terminal device which is communicable with a server via a communication line, the method being applied to cause the information terminal device to carry out:
- a storage step of storing a first program and first link information corresponding to a second program differing from the first program, in a memory of the information terminal device;
- a display step of displaying the first link information on a display of the information terminal device;
- and
- an identification information transmission step of transmitting to the server, information containing at least one of first identification information for identifying the first program and second identification information for identifying the second program, when the first link information displayed on the display is selected,
- the method being applied to cause the server to carry out:
- a program selection step of selecting the second program based on at least one of the first and second identification information transmitted from the information terminal device;
- and
- a program transmission step of transmitting the second program selected in the program selection step, and
- the method being further applied to cause the information terminal device to carry out:
- a reception step of receiving the second program transmitted from the server;
- and
- an update step of updating, after receiving the second program, the first link information displayed on the display to second link information corresponding to a third program differing from the second program, and causing the second link information to be displayed.

- a display step of displaying the first link information on a display of the information terminal device;
- and
- an identification information transmission step of transmitting to the server, information containing at least one of first identification information for identifying the fist program and second identification information for identifying the second program, when the first link information displayed by the display is selected,
- the method being applied to cause the server to carry out:
- a release key selection step of selecting a release key for use in permitting the second program to be activated, based on at least one of the first and second identification information transmitted from the information terminal device;
- and
- a release key transmission step of transmitting the release key selected in the release key selection step, and
- the method being further applied to cause the information terminal device to carry out:
- a reception step of receiving the release key transmitted from the server;
- and an update step of updating, after receiving the release key, the first link information displayed on the display to second link information corresponding to a third program differing from the second program, and causing the second link information to be displayed.
