1. As described above, even in a place where the mobile terminal 2 cannot use the GPS function, it is possible to easily obtain an accurate current location by acquiring the card ID from the non-contact IC card 5 installed in the vicinity of the current location. In addition, it is possible to obtain the surrounding information of the current location.
2. Since the non-contact IC card 5 does not require a power supply or a communication network, it can be implemented at low cost.
3. The data center 3 can read and distribute optimum peripheral information and various information from the position information specified from the card ID acquired from the mobile terminal 2 and the action information of the user of the mobile terminal 2.

  The preferred embodiments of the present location related information acquisition system and the like according to the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to such examples. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes or modifications can be conceived within the scope of the technical idea disclosed in the present application, and these naturally belong to the technical scope of the present invention. Understood.
