Patent ID: 8843593

Claim:
An information distribution system comprising: a communication apparatus having an integrated circuit (IC) chip capable of contactlessly communicating with a reader/writer; an information processing server to transmit first data for generating service data containing unique data to be transmitted from the IC chip to the reader/writer; and a distribution server to generate and distribute the service data to the communication apparatus, wherein the information processing server includes: a reception portion receiving a message comprising first identification data input by a user and a request for transmitting the first data, the first data containing the unique data and specifying the service data to be generated in the distribution server; a basic data generation portion generating basic data containing the first data and the first identification data; and a transmission portion transmitting the basic data to the communication apparatus, the distribution server includes: a second data storage portion to store second data; a service data generation portion generating service data containing one or more than one piece of second data and the unique data; and a data communication portion capable of distributing the service data to the communication apparatus, and the communication apparatus includes: a basic data reception portion receiving the basic data transmitted from the information processing server through a given communication path; an identification data storage portion storing the first identification data input by the user; a determination portion determining whether second identification data transmitted from the distribution server matches with the first identification data stored in the identification data storage portion; and a data acquisition portion acquiring the service data from the distribution server after the determination portion determines that the first identification data matches with the second identification data, wherein the second identification data is transmitted, before the service data, from the distribution server to the communication apparatus.
