Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. First, the operation of the terminal input related information providing apparatus 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In FIG. 2, first, when a connection is requested from a client terminal such as the mobile phones A2 and B3 and the mobile terminals A4 and B5, a line is connected via the connection devices 6-1 to 6-n (step). S1). Here, the connection device 6-
1 to the connection device 6-n
The information is recorded in the connection state table 11 by the authentication processing unit 13. FIG. 3A is a diagram showing the recorded contents of the connection status table, in which the status indicating the status and the connected account are recorded in association with the ID number uniquely assigned to each connection device. Next, when the line is connected, the connection / authentication processing unit 13 authenticates the user of the client terminal that has requested the connection, using the contents recorded in the user authentication table 12 (step S2). FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the recorded contents of the user authentication table 12, in which information indicating that the password is used in association with the user's account, the terminal type used, and that the accounts are the same user are recorded. When the same user is distinguished, the account may be the same and the password may be distinguished. Also, the type information of the mobile phone or the mobile terminal used by the user is used. (1) If the message transmitted by the client terminal includes information for specifying the type of the terminal, it is used. (2) Immediately after the connection is started, the user is made to make a selection in a menu format or the like. (3) Information for identifying the type of terminal corresponding to the user account is recorded in the user authentication table 12, and the type of terminal is identified from the user authentication information. The type of the connection terminal is specified (step S3), and the connection status table 11 indicates which user is connected to which connection device with which type of mobile phone or mobile terminal. Record FIG.
(B) relates to the ID number indicating the type of the terminal,
The terminal type, the communication method, the transfer speed, and the available storage capacity are recorded.

After specifying the type of the connection terminal, the message processing unit 16 receives the transmission message from the client terminal (step S4). When the transmission message is received, the related information provision determination processing unit 15 uses the business check table 14
Whether the transmission message transmitted from the client terminal to the business server 7 is a message to which the related information providing function is to be applied (the received transmission message is the business check table 1
4) (step S5). FIG. 5A is a diagram showing the recorded contents of the business check table 14, which is associated with an ID number assigned to distinguish between a business and a service, and is used when each business or service is used as a business request message. And the last transmitted message when using each business or service as a business end message, and the terminal type (the same business or service may have different transmission messages for each terminal type). The application condition of the related information providing function is recorded as the related information automatic providing level in association with the ID number indicating the support level defined in 5 (b). If it is determined in step S5 that the transmission message is not a message to which the related information providing function should be applied (if the received transmission message does not match the job request message recorded in the job check table 14: NO in step S5), The message processing unit 16 transmits the transmission message to the business server 7 (Step S6), and receives a response message from the business server 7 (Step S7). Next, upon receiving the response message from the business server 7 in step S7, the message processing unit 16 transmits the stored response message to the client terminal (step S9).
Returning to step S4, the above operation is repeated. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S5 that the transmission message is a message to which the related information providing function should be applied (if the received transmission message matches the first transmission message recorded in the business check table 14: step S5). (YES), the message processing unit 16 executes the related information providing function (Step S).
8). The details of the related information providing function will be described later with reference to FIG. In addition, it is assumed that the end of the work and the service is separately performed according to a user's instruction.

Next, the operation of the related information providing function of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When the related information providing function is executed, first, the message processing unit 16 transmits a job request message to the job server 7 (step S2).
1). Next, in response to the business request message transmitted in step S21, the business response message transmitted from the business server 7 is received (step S22). Then, the message processing unit 16 relays the received business response message to the client terminal (Step S23). Next, based on the request frequency of the transmission message recorded in the profile table 17, the past input confirmation processing unit 18 automatically provides the client terminal with the client terminal with regard to the business and service requested this time. It is determined whether there is information (step S24). Here, the determination as to whether there is related information to be automatically provided to the client terminal is based on the fact that the related information is highly likely to be requested by the user. Specifically, for example, It is conceivable to select whether the number of requests explicitly requested in the past is large or the probability of the requested request is high.
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the recorded contents of the profile table. In association with the used business and the ID number assigned to the service, the client terminal sends a business message to the business server 7 after the transmission message to request the business from the client terminal. The related information request message transmitted to the information server 8 that provides the related information is recorded together with the request frequency. Note that the request frequency indicates the ratio of the number of each related information request message to the total number of task request messages transmitted to the corresponding task or service.

In step S24, the past input confirmation processing unit 18 has determined that the profile table 17 contains relevant information that should be automatically provided to the client terminal with respect to the business and service requested this time. In this case (YES in step S24), the message processing unit 16 transmits the relevant related information request message recorded in the profile table 17 to the information server 8 (step S25). Next, the related information response message transmitted by the information server 8 in response to the related information request message transmitted in step S25 is received (step S26). Then, the message processing unit 16 relays and transmits the related information response message to the client terminal (step S27), returns to step S24, and automatically performs the operation and service requested by the client terminal recorded in the profile table 17. The above operation is repeated until all the relevant information to be provided to the client terminal is completely transmitted to the client terminal. Here, as a method of actually transmitting the related information, it is possible to change the support level shown in the connection state table of FIG. 5 in consideration of the specifications and performance of each type of the client terminal. For example, note P
A transmission method is conceivable in which, if C, transmission is performed sequentially from the one with the highest probability, and if it is a mobile phone, related information to be transmitted is limited to one.

On the other hand, in step S24, the past input confirmation processing unit 18 determines that there is no related information in the profile table 17 that should be automatically provided to the client terminal with respect to the business and service requested this time. If determined (NO in step S24), the message processing unit 16 checks the cache usage information of the client terminal (step S28) and updates the profile data (step S29). Here, the confirmation of the cache usage information of the client terminal is important for confirming what information the client terminal needs when the related information is automatically transmitted to the client terminal.
