摘要

A contents server fault monitor (7A) periodically detects the status of operation of contents servers (5). Information about the status of operation of the contents servers (5) detected by the contents server fault monitor (7A) is held in a server operation database (8A). When an inactive contents server has been detected through look-up of the operation status information, a service menu (10A) is prepared that is a list of services which can be provided by active contents servers. Upon a request for the acquisition of a service from a portable terminal (1), the prepared service menu (10A) is sent to the portable terminal (1). By virtue of this construction, prior to the connection of a portable terminal (1) to a network, a service menu, which indicates only services of contents servers which can provide services, can be previously presented to the portable terminal (1). That is, a repeater (3) can be realized which, prior to a request for access from a portable terminal, can previously notify the portable terminal of fault information. IMAGE
