Method of sharing information relating to an information transmitting medium among mobile terminals

An information sharing system, comprising:

• first and second mobile terminals;
• and
• an information sharing server for sharing information relating to an information transmitting medium that has been acquired by the owner of said first mobile terminal with the owner of said second mobile terminal;
• wherein said first mobile terminal comprises:
• means for reading, from a radio tag embedded in said information transmitting medium provided in any location, positional information and an identification number of the information transmitting medium;
• and
• means for transmitting the positional information and the identification number of said information transmitting medium to said information sharing server by way of a network;
• and said information sharing server comprises:
• relevant information selection means for, when the positional information and the identification number of said information transmitting medium have been transmitted from said first mobile terminal by way of said network, selecting relevant information comprising at least detailed content of said information transmitting medium based on the identification number of said information transmitting medium;
• and
• service providing means for, when the positional information and identification number of said information transmitting medium are transmitted from said first mobile terminal by way of said network, transmitting the positional information of said information transmitting medium, said positional information further comprising at least a position of said first mobile terminal and the relevant information of said information transmitting medium to said second mobile terminal by way of said network, and said service providing means also transmits relevant information of said information transmitting medium to said first mobile terminal by way of said network simultaneously with transmitting the relevant information of said information transmitting medium and the positional information of said information transmitting medium to said second mobile terminal by way of said network.

An information sharing server for sharing information relating to an information transmitting medium acquired by an owner of a first mobile terminal with an owner of a second mobile terminal;

• said information sharing server comprising:
• relevant information selection means for, when positional information and an identification number of said information transmitting medium written in a radio tag embedded in said information transmitting medium provided in any location are transmitted from said first mobile terminal by way of a network, selecting relevant information comprising at least detailed content of said information transmitting medium based on the identification number of said information transmitting medium;
• and
• a service providing means for, when the positional information and the identification number of said information transmitting medium have been transmitted from said first mobile terminal by way of said network, transmitting the positional information of said information transmitting medium, said positional information further comprising at least a position of said first mobile terminal and relevant information of said information transmitting medium selected in said relevant information selection means to said second mobile terminal by way of said network, and said service providing means also transmits relevant information of said information transmitting medium to said first mobile terminal by way of said network simultaneously with transmitting the relevant information of said information transmitting medium and the positional information of said information transmitting medium to said second mobile terminal by way of said network.
