Abstract
Abstract A terminal unit and a computer server, capable of distributing/receiving only necessary information of broadcast information. The broadcast terminal unit (1) distributes identical information simultaneously to computers and terminals (4-1 to 4-4) connected to a network (5) specified. At this time, an identifier indicative of broadcast information and a broadcast network address are added to the information, while this information is divided correspondingly to levels according to candidates for broadcast and is distributed through a network (5) the network address indicates. A terminal unit (4-1 to 4-4) extracts only the necessary information from the received broadcast information in accordance with a broadcast level given to this terminal unit (4-1 to 4-4), and places it on a display.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
72 words
A broadcast terminal unit which distributes identical
information simultaneously to a computer and a terminal (4-1 to
4-4) connected to a network (5) specified, characterised in that
said broadcast terminal unit adds an identifier indicative of
broadcast information and a network address given for broadcast
to said information, and divides said information
correspondingly to levels according to broadcast candidates, and
distributes the divided information through said network (5)
said network address indicates.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
78 words
A terminal unit which displays broadcast information
divided correspondingly to levels according to broadcast
candidates and broadcasted through a network (5), characterised
by comprising: a broadcast information receiving section (4a) for
receiving said broadcast information; a broadcast level definition section (4d) having, of said
levels according to said broadcast candidates, a broadcast level
pertaining to said terminal unit; and a broadcast information extracting section (4b) for
extracting only information, said terminal unit needs, from the
received broadcast information.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
42 words
A terminal unit according to claim 2, characterised in
that said broadcast information receiving section (4a)
establishes communication with a computer server (2) by carrying
out radio communication with a radio base station (3-1 to 3-4)
connected to said computer server (2).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
119 words
A computer server which is connected to a network (5) to
receive broadcast information divided correspondingly to levels
according to broadcast candidates for distributing said
broadcast information to a subordinate terminal unit (4-1 to 4-4),
characterised by comprising: a broadcast information receiving section (2a) for
receiving said broadcast information; a broadcast level definition section (2e) having, of said
levels according to said broadcast candidates, a broadcast level
pertaining to said terminal unit (4-1 to 4-4) connected to said
computer server; and a broadcast information reconstructing section (2b) for
reconstructing the received broadcast information according to
said broadcast level, with said broadcast information
reconstructed in said broadcast information reconstructing
section (2b) being distributed to said terminal unit (4-1 to 4-4).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
37 words
A computer server according to claim 4, characterised by
further comprising a radio base station (3-1 to 3-4) for
establishing radio communication with said terminal unit (4-1
to 4-4) through said radio base station (3-1 to 3-4).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
76 words
A communication method of, in a terminal unit (4-1 to 4-4)
according to claim 2 or 4, displaying broadcast information
divided correspondingly to levels according to broadcast
candidates, characterised by comprising the steps of: receiving broadcast information distributed; extracting only information, said terminal unit (4-1 to
4-4) needs, from the received broadcast information by reference
to the contents defined in a broadcast level definition section
(4d); and displaying only the extracted information from said
broadcast information.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
89 words
A communication method of, in a computer server (2)
according to claim 4 or 5, distributing broadcast information
divided correspondingly to levels according to broadcast
candidates, characterised by comprising the steps of: receiving said broadcast information broadcasted to a
network (5) to which said computer server (2) is in connection; reconstructing said broadcast information by reference
to a broadcast level definition section (2e) defining a level
according to a broadcast candidate; and transmitting the reconstructed broadcast information to
a terminal (4-1 to 4-4) connected to said computer server (2).
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
89 words
A computer readable record medium retaining a broadcast
information displaying program for, in a terminal unit (4-1 to
4-4) according to claim 2 or 3, displaying broadcast information
divided correspondingly to levels according to broadcast
candidates, characterised in said broadcast information display
program makes a computer receive the distributed broadcast
information, extract only information, said terminal unit (4-1
to 4-4) needs, from the received broadcast information by
reference to the contents defined in a broadcast level definition
section (4d), and display only the extracted information from
said broadcast information.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
102 words
A computer readable record medium storing a broadcast
information distributing program for, in a computer server (2)
according to claim 4 or 5, distributing broadcast information
divided correspondingly to levels according to broadcasting
candidates, characterised in that said broadcast information
distributing program makes a computer receive said broadcast
information broadcasted through a network (5) to which said
computer server (2) is connected, reconstruct the received
broadcast information by reference to a broadcast level
definition section defining a level according to a broadcast
candidate, and transmit the reconstructed broadcast information
to a terminal unit (4-1 to 4-4) connected to said computer server
(2).
