At this time, it is possible to receive offers for orders from a plurality of stores that provide the same goods and services, and to select a store that is closer to one's wish from the requests. At a store using one mobile terminal, an order can be offered only for an order desired by the user himself / herself, and a more suitable ordering can be established for both parties. Furthermore, even if both the user and the store use the mobile terminal, even if they move their location, they can confirm each other's location, enabling efficient provision and receipt of goods and services. Becomes Although some embodiments of the present invention have been described, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above, and various modifications and applications are possible. For example, in the third embodiment, a car navigation device and a mobile cellular phone are used. However, the present invention can be applied to car navigation devices or cellular phones. Further, when the information providing device has a function of generating guide map information, the guide map information may be transmitted to a car navigation device including a map information DB or the like by itself. Also, the confirmation information may be transmitted not only to the ordering side but also to the order receiving side.

The estimated time of arrival at the store is calculated by a car navigation device or an information providing device.
Since an error occurs due to traffic conditions or a user's drop-in, the user may input the estimated arrival time or required time.

As shown in FIG. 61, a terminal used by a user (product purchaser) who places an order for a product may be a fixed terminal 9 such as a personal computer (PC) at home. When the fixed terminal 9 such as a personal computer (PC) is used, various goods or service can be ordered from home with respect to a goods provider having a mobile terminal.
