Description

  The present invention is used in an information service system such as a BBS (Bulletin Board System) that provides an information service using a computer network, a chat system, and an information service participation management device that gives an ID to a participant in the information service, And a recording medium in which a computer program for realizing the information service participation management apparatus is recorded.

FIG. 16 is a block diagram of a conventional information service system.
The service server 10 provides an information service to the client 30 when the participant is permitted by requesting participation from the client 30 to the BBS, chat system, or the like. The participant registers an ID in the service server 10 and sends the registered ID and password to the service server 10 every time he / she participates in the information service to request permission to participate in the information service. The participant registers an ID for each service server 10 that the participant wants to participate in.

The service server 10 stores the registered ID in the ID database 101, and when the client 30 is requested to participate in the information service, the ID transmitted from the client 30 is registered in the ID database 101 or not registered. If this ID is registered, it is determined whether the password is valid or invalid. As a result, if the ID is registered and the password is valid, permission of participation is notified to the client 30, and if the password is invalid or unregistered, participation refusal is notified to the client 30.

[Embodiment 1 ... Step-by-step service participation]
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of Embodiment 1 of the information service system of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes a service server that provides services such as an electronic bulletin board and chat to the client 30 in a computer network such as the Internet.

  Each service server 10 includes an ID database 101 that stores the IDs of participants who have been allowed to participate in the service, and actions for a certain period of time, such as a chat server. If so, an action record database 102 is provided for recording the number of utterances, the number of times of use of discriminatory words, the number of other people's slander and slander.

The ID management server 20 issues an ID in response to a request from the client 30, and associates history information such as which service server 10 the participant is permitted or denied to participate in the service with the participant ID. Recorded in the service history 201 (see FIG. 7A).
The participant declares the address, name, e-mail address, etc. to the ID management server 20, and participates in the service of each service server 10 with the ID issued by the ID management server 20.

  Next, the procedure in the first embodiment will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. In this example, a case where the service server 10 is a chat server and the client 30 is a chat client will be described. The chat server realizes conversations among a plurality of participants at the same time by delivering character data to the chat client in real time.

  The participant declares the address, name, e-mail address, etc. from the client 30 to the ID management server 20, and obtains the ID from the ID management server 20 in advance (step S1). The participant sends an ID and a password from the client 30 to the service server 10 and requests permission to participate (step S2). The service server 10 determines whether or not the ID sent from the client 30 is already registered (step S3). If the ID is already registered, the service server 10 determines whether or not the password is valid (step S4). If the password is valid, the client 30 is notified of permission to participate (step S5). If the password is incorrect, the client 30 is notified of rejection of the participation (step S6), and the participation permission / participation rejection procedure is terminated. To do.

  If the ID is not registered in the ID database 101, the ID is provisionally registered in the ID database 101, and permission of provisional participation is notified to the client 30 (step S7). The service server 10 records the behavior of the temporarily participating ID in the behavior record database 102 (step S8). Examples of actions to be recorded include the number of utterances, the number of use of prohibited words such as discrimination terms, and the like.

  After recording the behavior of the participant who is temporarily participating for a predetermined period such as one week, an evaluation value of the behavior record is calculated (step S9). The number of utterances is an evaluation function F1, and the number of prohibited words used is an evaluation function F2. The evaluation function F1 is “1” when the number of utterances reaches a specified value, for example, 10 times, and “−” when the number of utterances has not reached. 1 ”. The evaluation function F2 is a function that is “−1” when the number of use of the prohibited words has reached a specified value (for example, once), and “1” otherwise. Therefore, if the evaluation value V = F1 + F2 is greater than “0” (the specified value), the ID temporarily registered in the ID database 101 is formally registered (step S11), and the ID management server 20 is notified of permission to join this ID. (Step S12). On the other hand, if the evaluation value V is negative, the ID management server 20 is notified of this ID refusal of participation (step S13).

The ID management server 20 records information on permission / rejection of formal participation of the ID notified from the service server 10 in the service history 201 (step S14). Further, the service server 10 notifies the client 30 of permission / rejection of formal participation (step S15).
As described above, since the information service provider determines the reliability of the participant and decides whether to participate or not to participate in the information service, when the participant first participates in the information service, In order to guarantee, there is no need to disclose personal information such as address, name, and e-mail address.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of Embodiment 2 of the present invention, and the same or corresponding parts as in FIG. In this example, the service server 10 requested to participate in the information service requests participation from the ID management server 20 that centrally manages service history information such as permission / rejection of participation in the information service of each ID. The service history information of the assigned ID is inquired, and permission / rejection of participation in the information service of this ID is determined according to the service history information. Therefore, an ID that has lost eligibility for participation in a certain information service cannot obtain eligibility for participation in another information service.

In FIG. 2, the service server 10 is not provided with the action record database 102 as shown in FIG. 1, but the action record database 102 is provided, and the service history of the ID is the same as in the first embodiment. According to the information, the behavior of the temporarily registered ID can be recorded for a certain period, the behavior can be evaluated, and the formal participation in the information service can be permitted / denied.
This makes the determination of the participant's reliability more certain.

Next, the procedure in the second embodiment will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. In this example, the case where the service server 10 is a chat server and the client 30 is a chat client will be described.
The participant declares the address, name, e-mail address, etc. from the client 30 to the ID management server 20, and obtains the ID from the ID management server 20 in advance (step S21). The participant sends an ID and a password from the client 30 to the service server 10 and requests permission to participate (step S22). The service server 10 determines whether or not the ID sent from the client 30 is already registered (step S23), and if already registered, determines whether or not the password is valid (step S24). If the password is valid, the client 30 is notified of permission to participate (step S25). If the password is incorrect, the client 30 is notified of rejection of the participation (step S26), and the participation permission / rejection procedure is terminated. .

If the ID is not registered in the ID database 101, the service server 10 inquires of the ID management server 20 about the service history of this ID (step S27), and the ID management server 20 reports the service history of this ID to the service server 10. (Step S28).
The service server 10 determines whether or not there is a record of permission to officially participate in another service server 10 in the service history (step S29). If there is a record of formal participation permission, notification of formal participation permission is sent to the ID management server 20 (step S30). On the other hand, if there is no record of formal participation permission, notification of participation refusal is sent to the ID management server 20 (step S31). .

  The ID management server 20 records information on permission / rejection of formal participation of the ID notified from the service server 10 in the service history 201 (step S32). Further, the service server 10 notifies the client 30 of permission / rejection of formal participation (step S33).

FIG. 3 is a block diagram of Embodiment 3 of the present invention. Components that are the same as or equivalent to those in FIG. In this example, the participant who requested the service server 10 to participate in the information service from the client A 30a requests the ID management server 20 to view the service history of the participant participating in the information service from the other client B 30b. Based on the service history, the reliability of other participants is determined. For example, it can be determined that a participant who is authorized to participate in an information service that he trusts can be trusted.

FIG. 7 (a) is a conceptual diagram of an example of a service history.
The service history item includes a record serial number, a service name, a recordr, a record date and time, and a record content (participation permission / participation rejection). Such service history is recorded for each ID.

Next, the procedure in the third embodiment will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. In this example, the case where the service server 10 is a chat server and the clients A30a and B30b are chat clients will be described.
The participant declares the address, name, e-mail address, etc. from the client A30a and the client B30b to the ID management server 20, respectively, and acquires the ID from the ID management server 20 in advance (step S21).

  The participant from the client B30b sends the ID and password to the service server 10 and requests permission to participate (step S42). The service server 10 determines permission / rejection of participation of the participant from the client B30b by means as described above, and notifies permission / rejection of participation to the ID management server 20 (step S43). The ID management server 20 records the participation permission / rejection of this ID notified from the service server 10 in the service history 201.

  The participant from the client A 30a sends the ID and password to the service server 10 and requests permission to participate (step S44). If the ID sent from the client A 30a is already registered in the ID database 101, the service server 10 registers the ID as it is, or if it is not registered, and registers whether it is valid, and whether the password sent from the client A 30a is valid. Is determined (step S45). If the password is valid, the client A 30a is notified of permission to participate (step S47). On the other hand, if the password is incorrect, the client A 30a is notified of rejection of participation (step S46), and the participation permission / rejection procedure is terminated. .

  At this time, when a participant from the client A30a judges the reliability of this participant in order to communicate with the participant of the client B30b who participates in the same information service as the participant, the participant from the client A30a Request the service history of the participant from the client B 30b to the ID management server 20 (step S48). The ID management server 20 notifies the service history of the participant from the client B30b to the client A30a (step S49).

FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a modification of the third embodiment. In this example, in addition to the third embodiment, the ID management server 20 is provided with an access permission table 202 for limiting the disclosure range of the service history.
FIG. 7B is a conceptual diagram of an example of the access permission table. Each participant can specify items in the service history as public contents, and can specify an ID as a public permission target.

Next, the procedure in the modification of the third embodiment will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. Steps S51 to S58 are the same as steps S41 to S48 in FIG.
When the participant from the client A 30a requests the ID management server 20 for the service history of the participant from the client B 30b (step S48), the ID management server 20 refers to the access permission table 202 and the ID of the participant from the client A 30a. Is included in the disclosure permission target (step S59). If the ID of the participant from the client A30a is not included in the disclosure permission target, the client A30a is notified of the refusal of the service history information of the participant from the client B30b (step S60). On the other hand, if it is included in the disclosure permission target, the service history of the participant from the client B 30b is notified to the client A 30a (step S61).

  The participant from the client B30b sends the ID and password to the service server 10 and requests permission to participate (step S72). The service server 10 determines whether or not the participant from the client B30b is allowed to participate / rejected by the above-described means, and records information indicating the exchange behavior in the information service of the participant along with the permission / rejection of participation. The information is recorded in the database 102 (step S73), and when the participant logs out from the information service, for example, the ID management server 20 is notified of the information indicating the exchange action together with the participation permission / rejection information (step S74). . The ID management server 20 records the participation permission / rejection information of this ID notified from the service server 10 and the information indicating the exchange action in the service history 201.

  The participant from the client A 30a sends the ID and password to the service server 10 and requests permission to participate (step S75). If the ID sent from the client A 30a is already registered in the ID database 101, the service server 10 registers the ID as it is, or if the ID is not registered, and registers whether it is valid, and whether the password sent from the client A 30a is valid. Is determined (step S76). If the password is invalid, the client A 30a is notified of participation refusal (step S77), and the participation permission / rejection procedure is terminated.

  On the other hand, if the password is valid, the client A 30a is notified of participation permission (step S78). At this time, when a participant from the client A30a judges the reliability of this participant in order to communicate with the participant of the client B30b who participates in the same information service as the participant, the participant from the client A30a A request is made to the ID management server 20 for the participant relation list of the participant from the client B 30b (step S79). The ID management server 20 transmits a list of participants' cheaper relations from the client B30b to the client A30a (step S80).

  FIG. 6 is a block diagram of a modification of the fourth embodiment. In this example, in addition to the fourth embodiment, the ID management server 20 is provided with an access permission table 202 for limiting the disclosure range of the participant relation list. FIG. 8B is a conceptual diagram of an example of the access permission table. Each participant can specify the ID of the exchange partner as the public contents, and can specify the ID as a public permission target.

Next, the procedure in the modification of the fourth embodiment will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. Steps S81 to S89 are the same as steps S71 to S79 in FIG.
When a participant from the client A 30a requests the participant relationship list of the participant from the client B 30b to the ID management server 20 (step S89), the ID management server 20 refers to the access permission table 202 and joins from the client A 30a. It is determined whether or not the user's ID is included in the disclosure permission target (step S90). When the ID of the participant from the client A30a is not included in the disclosure permission target, the client A30a is notified of the refusal of the participant relationship list of the participant from the client B30b (step S91). On the other hand, if it is included in the disclosure permission target, the participant relation list of the participant from the client B 30b is transmitted to the client A 30a (step S92).
