A configuration of the mail transmitting server 100 in the present embodiment will be described below. FIG. 2 is a hardware configuration diagram of the mail transmitting server 100. The mail transmitting server 100 comprises a CPU 100a, a memory 100b, a storage device 100c such as a magnetic disk, an optical disk, or the like, a transmission-reception device 100d configured to perform transmission and reception of data with the cellular phone 20 and with the mail receiving server 30, an input device 100e such as a keyboard, a mouse, or the like, and a display device 100f such as a display unit. The CPU 100a, memory 100b, storage device 100c, transmission-reception device 100d, input device 100e, and display device 100f each are connected through bus 100g so as to be able to transmit and receive data to and from each other.
A configuration of the cellular phone 20 in the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 is a hardware configuration diagram of the cellular phone 20. The cellular phone 20 comprises a CPU 20a, a memory 20b such as a semiconductor memory, a communication device 20c configured to transmit and receive data to and from the mail transmitting server 100, an input device 20d such as operation buttons or the like, a display device 20e such as LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), EL (Electro Luminescence), or the like, and a sound processing device 20f such as a microphone, a speaker, or the like. The CPU 20a, memory 20b, communication device 20c, input device 20d, display device 20e, and sound processing device 20f each are connected through bus 20g, and they are able to transmit and receive data to and from each other.
FIG. 4 is a system configuration diagram of the mail transmitting server 100 and cellular phone 20. The mail transmitting server 100 is a server apparatus having a function of detecting computer viruses, and functionally comprises a pattern data database 101, a notification method table 102 (storage means), a use-restricted service table 103, a data receiver 104 (receiving means), a computer virus detector 105, a data transfer part 106, a notification method selector 107 (selecting means), a detection result notifying part 108, a service restricting part 109 (restricting means), and a communication charge nullifying part 110 (charge nullifying means). Here the pattern data database 101, the notification method table 102, and the use-restricted service table 103 correspond to the memory 100b shown in FIG. 2. The data receiver 104, computer virus detector 105, data transfer part 106, notification method selector 107, detection result notifying part 108, service restricting part 109, and communication charge nullifying part 110 are implemented when the CPU 100a executes software stored in the memory 100b shown in FIG. 2.
The cellular phone 20 is a communication terminal configured to transmit and receive data to and from the server apparatus, and functionally comprises a data storage 21, a data transmitter 22 (transmitting means), and a detection result receiver 23. Here the data storage 21 corresponds to the memory 20b shown in FIG. 3. The data transmitter 22 and detection result receiver 23 are implemented when the CPU 20a executes software stored in the memory 20b shown in FIG. 3.
The notification method table 102 stores notification methods for the detection result of computer viruses and types of computer viruses in association with each other. FIG. 5A is a diagram showing a data storage example 102a of the notification method table 102. As shown in FIG. 5A, the notification method table 102 stores data indicating the notification methods for the detection result of computer viruses (e.g., “e-mail,” “audio response by telephone,” . . . ), in association with the types of computer viruses (e.g., “computer virus A,” “computer virus B,” . . . ).
The notification methods for the detection result of computer viruses may be stored in association with types of services available to the cellular phone 20. FIG. 5B is a diagram showing a data storage example 102b of the notification method table 102. As shown in FIG. 5B, the notification method table 102 stores data indicating the notification methods for the detection result of computer viruses (e.g., “e-mail,” “audio response by telephone,”) in association with data indicating types of services available to the cellular phone 20 (e.g., “service A,” “service B,” . . . ). Furthermore, a modification of the notification method table 102 in the present embodiment may be arranged so that the notification methods for the detection result of computer viruses are stored in association with both the types of computer viruses and the types of services available to the cellular phone 20.
