Abstract: A mobile device comprises at least a program starter, a
communication controller, a display controller, a display portion,
and an instruction portion. The mobile device receives report
information that is emitted in a predetermined period by a
guidance information terminal upon entering the communication
area of the guidance information terminal in a state where a
guidance information display application has been started by the
program starter. The mobile device causes the display portion
to display a dialog screen for issuing an instruction with regard to
whether to acquire guidance information by means of the display
controller upon reception of the report information. When the
acquisition of guidance information has been instructed by the
instruction portion, the mobile device issues a request to the
guidance information terminal to transmit the guidance
information by means of the communication controller and
receives the guidance information. The guidance information
thus received is displayed on the display portion by means of the
display controller.
