Abstract
An information collecting apparatus comprises a reception-only communication unit and a two-way communication unit. The information collecting apparatus extracts an address to be accessed by the two-way communication unit from data received by the reception-only communication unit and fetches a file stored at the address. The information collecting utilizes the two-way communication unit. An information transmitting apparatus transmits data, having standards including a dummy area to transmit the data, after the address of the file accessed by the two-way communication system independent of the transmitting system is described in the dummy area.
