Apparatus, method, program, and recording medium for setting guidance information

A guidance information setting apparatus, comprising:

• means for transmitting a power turn-on command or a power turn-off command to each reception terminal registered in a master through a network;
• means for receiving unique information about each of the reception terminals transmitted therefrom through the network;
• means for transmitting an identification number in an entry registered in the master to a specific reception terminal when the received unique information about the specific reception terminal has been registered in the master, registering new unique information and a particular identification number designating company-wide guidance in the master, and transmitting the particular identification number to the specific reception terminal, when the received unique information has not been registered in the master;
• and
• means for transmitting company-wide guidance information, or the guidance information corresponding to the identification number in the entry, or the particular identification number extracted from company-wide information to the reception terminals.

A guidance information setting method, comprising:

• transmitting the unique information about a reception terminal from the reception terminal to a server when the reception terminal is connected to a network to which the server is connected;
• receiving at the reception terminal an identification number corresponding to guidance information in response to transmitting said unique information to the server;
• indicating the guidance information at the reception terminal for a user based on the guidance information extracted from company-wide information based on the received identification number;
• and
• indicating the guidance information to a user, when said reception terminal has received no response from said server, based on the guidance information extracted from a company-wide information stored in said reception terminal based on a last received identification number.

A guidance information setting method, comprising:

• transmitting a power turn-on command or a power turn-off command to each reception terminal registered in a master through a network;
• receiving unique information about each of the reception terminals transmitted therefrom through the network;
• transmitting an identification number in an entry registered in the master to a specific reception terminal when the received unique information about the specific reception terminal has been registered in the master, registering new unique information and a particular identification number designating company-wide guidance in the master, and transmitting the particular identification number to the specific reception terminal, when the received unique information has not been registered in the master;
• and
• transmitting company-wide guidance information or the guidance information corresponding to the identification number in the entry or the particular identification number extracted from company-wide information to the reception terminals.

A storage storing a program readable by a reception terminal for controlling the reception terminal to set guidance information, by:

• transmitting unique information about the reception terminal from the reception terminal to a server when the reception terminal is connected to a network to which the server is connected;
• receiving at the reception terminal an identification number corresponding to guidance information in response to transmitting said unique information to the server;
• indicating the guidance information at the reception terminal to a user based on the guidance information extracted from company-wide information based on the received identification number;
• and
• indicating the guidance information to a user, when said reception terminal has received no response from said server, based on the guidance information extracted from company-wide information stored in said reception terminal based on a last received identification number.

A storage storing a program readable by a master for controlling the master to set guidance information, by:

• transmitting a power turn-on command or a power turn-off command to each reception terminal registered in the master through a network;
• receiving unique information about each of the reception terminals transmitted therefrom through the network;
• transmitting an identification number in an entry registered in the master to a specific reception terminal when the received unique information about the specific reception terminal has been registered in the master, registering new unique information and a particular identification number designating company-wide guidance in the master, and transmitting the particular identification number to the specific reception terminal, when the received unique information has not been registered in the master;
• and
• transmitting company-wide guidance information or the guidance information corresponding to the identification number in the entry or the particular identification number extracted from company-wide information to the reception terminals.

A computer readable recording medium, which stores a program controlling a reception terminal to set guidance information, by:

• transmitting the unique information about the reception terminal from the reception terminal to a server when the reception terminal is connected to a network to which the server is connected;
• receiving at the reception terminal an identification number corresponding to guidance information in response to transmitting said unique information to the server;
• indicating the guidance information at the reception terminal to a user based on the guidance information extracted from company-wide information based on the received identification number;
• and
• indicating the guidance information to a user, when said reception terminal has received no response from said server, based on the guidance information extracted from a company-wide information stored in said reception terminal based on a last received identification number.
