Fundraising - G06Q: INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY [ICT] SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE, COMMERCIAL, FINANCIAL, MANAGERIAL OR SUPERVISORY PURPOSES; SYSTEMS OR METHODS SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE, COMMERCIAL, FINANCIAL, MANAGERIAL OR SUPERVISORY PURPOSES, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR ## Abstract An information providing method includes writing to a storage area of a communication apparatus embedded in a surrounding member of a transparent panel, distribution information related to preliminarily stored content; displaying on a screen provided on the transparent panel, display information related to the content for which the distribution information has been read at the writing; and transmitting to a communication terminal near the transparent panel by wireless communication, the distribution information stored in the storage area of the communication apparatus. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An information providing method comprising: writing to a storage area of a communication apparatus embedded in a surrounding member of a transparent panel, distribution information related to preliminarily stored content; displaying on a screen provided on the transparent panel, display information related to the content for which the distribution information has been read at the writing; and transmitting to a communication terminal near the transparent panel by wireless communication, the distribution information stored in the storage area of the communication apparatus. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The information providing method according to claim 1, wherein the surrounding member is a frame of the transparent panel. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The information providing method according to claim 1, wherein the transparent panel forms a wall of a facility. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The information providing method according to claim 3, wherein the wall is an exterior wall of the facility. ### Claim 5 An information providing method comprising: acquiring, by a communication apparatus embedded in a surrounding member of a transparent panel, information from a communication terminal near the communication apparatus; and displaying the acquired information on a transmissive screen provided on the transparent panel. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The information providing method according to claim 5 further comprising: detecting, by a sensor embedded in the surrounding member, a person at a front side of the transparent panel and near the sensor, wherein the acquiring includes acquiring the information when a person is detected at the detecting. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The information providing method according to claim 5 further comprising: determining whether the information from the communication terminal may be displayed, based on an authorization code included in the information and related to display authorization for the information, wherein the displaying includes displaying the information when the information is determined to be displayable at the determining. ### Claim 8 (depends on 5) The information providing method according to claim 5 further comprising: terminating display of the information, based on an effective period included in the information. ### Claim 9 (depends on 5) The information providing method according to claim 5, wherein the surrounding member is a frame of the transparent panel. ### Claim 10 (depends on 5) The information providing method according to claim 5, wherein the transparent panel forms a wall of a facility. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The information providing method according to claim 10, wherein the wall is an exterior wall of the facility. ### Claim 12 An information providing method comprising: acquiring from a communication terminal near a communication apparatus and accumulating in a database, attribute information, by the communication apparatus embedded in a surrounding member of a transparent panel; retrieving from the database, information corresponding to the acquired attribute information; and projecting the retrieved information on a transmissive screen provided on the transparent panel. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The information providing method according to claim 12 further comprising: detecting, by a sensor embedded in the surrounding member, a person near the sensor, wherein the acquiring includes acquiring the attribute information when a person has been detected at the detecting. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The information providing method according to claim 12 further comprising: projecting the retrieved information on the transmissive screen provided on a back side of the transparent panel and based on behavior information for the communication terminal obtained from an acceleration sensor of the communication terminal. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The information providing method according to claim 13, wherein the projecting includes not projecting the information when a person has not been detected by the sensor at the detecting. ### Claim 16 (depends on 12) The information providing method according to claim 12, wherein the surrounding member is a frame of the transparent panel. ### Claim 17 (depends on 12) The information providing method according to claim 12, wherein the transparent panel forms a wall of a facility. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The information providing method according to claim 17, wherein the wall is an exterior wall of the facility.
