Description

  The present invention relates to a remote processing system and program capable of remotely executing an instruction to execute a predetermined process in a server by an input operation to a Web page displayed on a user terminal.

In recent years, various electronic files can be easily distributed on the Internet, and are actively used not only in business situations but also in personal information transmission situations.
Under such circumstances, there are an increasing number of scenes in which electronic files require the same proof power as paper documents. In the case of a paper document, by observing or appraising the paper, it is possible to obtain various information related to the document, such as the creator, the time when it was created, and whether or not it has been tampered with. High proof against the facts involved. On the other hand, in the case of electronic files, in addition to not including analog information such as signatures and seals, aging does not occur and correction marks do not always remain. Therefore, there is a problem of how to secure the proof power when it is desired to prove the author and creation time of the electronic file and that there is no tampering.

  Therefore, as a service for dealing with such problems, a time stamp service and an electronic notary service are provided by a plurality of companies. A general time stamp service is a service that uses a time stamp provided by a reliable time certificate authority to prove that a target electronic file has existed and has not been tampered with. A service of Non-Patent Document 1 based on the technology of Patent Document 1 is cited. Strictly speaking, the electronic notary service is used for electronic documents to legally validate the establishment date and contents of paper documents that have been conventionally performed for notarized offices. This refers to the service to be performed. In this specification, for example, as shown in Non-Patent Document 2, it is indicated when the target electronic file has existed and has not been tampered with, and who is the creator. We will explain that services certified by a private company from the standpoint of a neutral third party are also included in the electronic notary service.

  The time stamp service and electronic notary service can be applied to a literary writer or image / video creator who publishes his / her work on a Web page, thereby preventing theft of the work. It can be an effective means to protect creator's rights and originality.

  Recently, a plurality of Web services (hereinafter referred to as “portfolio services”) that allow creators to easily publish their collections (portfolios) on the Internet have been provided. In the portfolio service, a template of a portfolio is provided for each user from a service provider, and the user intends to enhance the portfolio while sequentially adding his / her works to the template.

  In providing a portfolio service, a service provider generally prepares a server device, and a user connects to the server device via his / her terminal via a network and uploads an electronic file such as his work.

  A user of a service that uploads an electronic file such as his / her work to the server device of the service provider and displays it on a web page provides another service such as a time stamp service or an electronic notary service for the electronic file. In order to receive the request, it is desirable that an electronic file uploaded to the server device and made public is subject to time stamping or electronic notarization. However, the current portfolio service does not provide a mechanism for causing the server device to execute information processing related to another service that the user wants to execute on the electronic file uploaded to the server device. In addition, even if it is permitted to substitute an electronic file that should be subject to time stamping or electronic notarization with a copy of the electronic file at hand, the time stamp service or electronic notary service is generally used by large customers, Assuming use by corporations, the contract unit is, for example, several tens to several hundreds, so the minimum usage fee is high and the threshold is high for personal use. In addition, even if an individual can obtain a time stamp by providing a time stamp service or an electronic notary service, the time stamp obtained by himself / herself is reflected in his / her web page generated under the portfolio service. There is no art.

  An object of the present invention is that a user of a service that uploads an electronic file such as his / her work to a server device of a service provider and displays it on a Web page, such as a portfolio service, a time stamp service, an electronic notary service, etc. It is another object of the present invention to provide a remote processing system and program that can receive the provision of another service.

  The remote processing system of the present invention is a system for causing a server device to execute a predetermined process in accordance with an execution instruction from a user terminal device connected to the server device via a network.

In the case of a portfolio service, the Web page or a collection thereof referred to here constitutes the user's portfolio. The storage unit stores an arbitrary electronic file uploaded by the user. The control unit controls a predetermined process to be executed on the user's electronic file stored in the storage unit in accordance with an execution instruction from the user's terminal device. The Web page generated by the Web page generation unit includes a display of the contents of the user's electronic file stored in the storage unit or a hyperlink to the electronic file, and an instruction to execute a predetermined process on the electronic file Can be input. Accordingly, the user can cause the server device to execute a predetermined process by inputting an execution instruction from the Web page displayed on the terminal device.

  That is, by configuring the system in this way, even if an electronic file such as his / her work is uploaded to the server device for the purpose of receiving a portfolio service or the like, a predetermined service related to another service for the electronic file is obtained. An instruction to execute the process can be given from the terminal device to the server device.

  When another service is a time stamp service, a process for adding a time stamp to the electronic file and a process for adding the time stamp to the display of the Web page generated by the Web page generation unit are executed as predetermined processes. Good.

  When another service is an electronic notary service, the electronic notary registration process for the electronic file and the process of adding the time stamp given in the registration process to the display of the Web page generated by the Web page generation unit. What is necessary is just to perform as a predetermined process. Further, it may include processing for issuing an electronic notary registration certificate.

  The time stamp service and the electronic notary service, as described in the section of the problem to be solved by the invention, were difficult for individuals to use due to the problem of the contract unit, but the present invention facilitates personal use. Can do. Specifically, portfolio service providers collectively contract other services such as time stamp service and electronic notary service in units of several tens to several hundreds, and each user's portfolio is subject to a predetermined contract for each service. It is configured so that a process execution instruction can be input. As a result, each user can use another service such as a time stamp service or an electronic notary service indirectly through the portfolio service provider.

  Since it is assumed that the time stamp assignment process and the electronic notary registration process are usually performed prior to the publication of the web page, the web page is not disclosed by default, and the state can be appropriately switched to the publication. desirable. Therefore, the predetermined process may further include a process of switching the Web page release state.

  An electronic file to be processed is input from the storage unit 11 to the time stamp addition processing unit 41 under the control of the control unit 12 based on the processing execution instruction from the terminal device 20, and after the processing of any applied time stamp service. A file with a time stamp is output. The file output here is not the electronic file itself to be processed, but a hash value calculated by applying an arbitrary hash function to the electronic file. By attaching a time stamp to the hash value obtained by uniquely and irreversibly converting the electronic file to be processed, the hash value generated from the electronic file is compared with the original hash value when performing subsequent verification. If a match can be confirmed, it can be proved that the electronic file exists at the time of the time stamp and has not been tampered with until verification.

  Then, under the control of the control unit 12, the Web page generation unit 13 extracts the time stamp from the file to which the time stamp has been added, and displays the contents of the electronic file for which the time stamp has been added to display the extracted time stamp. Add to the web page you want.

  That is, in the present embodiment, the predetermined process is a time stamp giving process or the like, and therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, an initial state is provided with a time stamp acquisition button for inputting an execution instruction such as a time stamp giving process. A web page is generated, a time stamp is added by clicking the button, and a time stamp is added to the web page, for example, as shown in FIG.

As described in the section of the problem to be solved by the invention, the time stamp service has been in a situation where it is difficult for an individual to use due to a contract unit problem. However, the present invention can facilitate the personal use. Specifically, a portfolio service provider can contract several tens to several hundreds of time stamp services and input execution instructions such as time stamp assignment processing on the portfolio of each portfolio service user. Configure. As a result, each user can use the time stamp service indirectly via the portfolio service provider.
