DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a group information distribution system for distributing unique information to users belonging to a specific group distinguished by a specific unit such as a city name of a place of residence or an apartment name. TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a group information distribution system that allows a group manager to voluntarily change the information content to be distributed and the display method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Information distribution using the Internet
Widely used. Usually, such information distribution is performed unidirectionally to an unspecified number of users. There has conventionally been a mechanism for issuing an ID and a password to a specific person and providing specific information to the specific person in conjunction with a database. However, all of the information itself based on a specific number of users is linked to data, the data is classified into various groups, and the classified data is voluntarily changed and updated by a group manager. In fact, there is no known WEB in which information can be changed and displayed for each group or individual and displayed.

[0003]

The Internet is pointed out as an advantage of information distribution to an unspecified number of people, but information distribution for specific units (for example, apartment houses) or information distribution for each administrative district. Conventionally, a method has been adopted in which a WEB in which the information content to be displayed is changed is created one by one, and a user who wants the information is displayed on a unique URL. However, in this case, it takes time and effort for the user to obtain the information, and it is difficult to find out where the information is described, and obtaining the information is a very laborious work.

[0004] In addition, when a multi-family house manager tries to change a message on a web for a certain multi-family house, it is impossible to do so in a single operation. Technology was needed.

[0005] Further, the conventional WEB in which an ID and a password are input and data and information are linked is created only for the purpose of browsing data, and a user-specific W
The environment surrounding the region and users as an EB has not been able to be reflected on the WEB.

[0006] In the conventional system, since the purpose is to view data as described above, the user himself and the group manager belonging to each environment have authority to freely change the contents on the WEB. That was completely out of the question.

[0007] The present invention solves the above problems,
All information itself based on a specific number of users is linked with data, the data is classified into various groups,
Further, an object of the present invention is to provide an information distribution system in which the classified data can be changed and updated voluntarily by a group manager, and unique information is displayed for each group or each individual.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, information unique to each user is distributed for each user by classifying by an ID composed of a plurality of elements and each element corresponding to a group provided for each layer. In an information distribution system including an ID identifier input section, a display section, a data section, a manager ID identifier input section, and a data management section, a group manager of each group configured for each layer is assigned to the group manager. A group information distribution system characterized in that, based on an ID, information distributed by the group manager can be independently changed and modified on the Web within a range permitted by the ID .

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the contents of the distribution information which can be changed / corrected by the group manager are information on a group to which the manager belongs and its lower groups. Group information distribution system.

The present invention is a group information distribution system that divides users into hierarchical groups and effectively distributes information unique to each group. The groups are classified by hierarchy into higher-order groups and lower-order groups.
Grouping is performed using the characteristics of the user as keywords. The characteristics of users that are the basis of this grouping are:
It is incorporated as a component in the user's personal data.

Information to be distributed to the user is determined according to the user's ID. The user can obtain information specific to the group to which the user belongs. Further, in this information distribution system, the group manager can voluntarily correct or change the content of the information within the range permitted by the manager ID by the group manager.

The information to be distributed is classified into a plurality of groups for each characteristic of the user, and is stored in the data part user information. When the user accesses the system WEB,
Enter your ID and password. However, when an access is made from a terminal that satisfies a specific technical standard such as a dedicated terminal, it is automatically read. The input ID and password are extracted from a plurality of group information storage units (data units) and personal information storage units (data units) included in the ID information from the data unit. The extracted information is distributed to the user and displayed on, for example, a personal computer screen. These displayed contents are changed according to the user ID. In other words, the group information distribution system provides various types of WE to each user.
B is provided. This is not just data browsing, but a web content providing service tailored to the user.

The present invention is also characterized by the fact that the group manager can voluntarily change the information content for the users belonging to the respective groups.
A specific management ID and password are issued to the group manager, and are input from the management screen input unit, so that the display contents can be voluntarily changed within the determined authority. As a result, for each group unit, the information corrected and changed by the group manager to the group of the unit is distributed to the user.

[0019]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an example of an ID identifier input unit of the group information distribution system according to the present invention. FIG. 2 shows an example of the administrator ID identifier input section. Each of FIGS. 1 and 2 has an ID input unit and an identification password input unit. However, this I
The purpose of the D and the password is not an input for permitting entry to the WEB, but an input for reading an environment surrounding the user.

Next, the processing operation of the system of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In this system, a user, a group administrator, and a system main body are connected via the Internet, and the system main body includes an ID identifier input section, a display section, a data section, an administrator ID identifier input section, and a data management section.

When this system is accessed from a user's personal computer or the like connected to the Internet, the user receives an ID
An identifier input section is displayed, requesting input of an ID and a password. However, when an access is made from a terminal satisfying a specific technical standard such as a dedicated terminal, the access may be omitted. The ID identifier input unit (1) can be normally viewed in a global Internet environment, and
Appears as part of the page. When an ID is input in the ID identifier input section (1), the data section (3) can be accessed from the personal computer through the web content display section (2). And the ID input in the ID identifier input section (1)
Based on the information, all the information of the user is collected from the corresponding data source (3), loaded on the system, compiled and displayed on the web through the display unit (2). Various personal data are stored in the data section (3).
Display information is collected.

In the case of the management WEB, the user accesses the administrator ID identifier input unit (5) from the personal computer (6) of the group administrator and inputs the administrator ID in the same manner as the user. Furthermore, the data management unit (4) is operated by the administrator personal computer.
The data section (3) is accessed through the interface and the corresponding data is displayed on the data management section (4). This flow is intended to extract and display data, and to change and add data on the WEB. The flow of the user and the system is the same, but there is a great difference in the gist. If you ’re an administrator,
The main point is to make changes.

The information displayed in the data management section (4) is modified and changed, and the modified and modified information is stored in the data section (3).
Is displayed to the user via the web content display unit (2). As a result, a voluntary WEB environment is formed by the group manager, so that the elements of the community hall can be deployed on the WEB.

FIG. 4 shows the structure of the data section. The ID identifier input section described in the lower part of FIG. 4 is the same as that described in FIG. Based on the user ID, the personal information is read from the data section, and the corresponding user data is extracted. However, each user data includes an upper group and a number of other IDs therein, and information of the corresponding group is also extracted at the same time. This flow is further linked to the upper group,
Finally, we arrive at the common information.

As an example, in the case of "Mr. B" who lives in "A mansion" in "Kanagawa prefecture" and "Yokohama city", the "Mr. B" information is grouped by "M mansion A" and further "Mr. Condominiums are grouped by Yokohama City, and Yokohama City is grouped by Kanagawa Prefecture. As described above, the grouping has a tree structure in which the hierarchy of the apartment A starts from the lowest group, and the hierarchy of Yokohama city and Kanagawa prefecture rises sequentially to the higher group. This grouping is a very important factor in determining the management level of the group manager, and this tree structure enables the smooth provision and management of regional information. That is, the group manager can independently correct and change the information for each group, thereby facilitating the customization of each group and providing the information having no waste to users having common information. It becomes possible.

The identification code table shown in FIG. 5 will be described. This code has a total of 12 digits, and the number of digits may increase or decrease depending on the case. First, this code is merely one pattern of the identification ID, and can be easily grouped. First, the meaning of the code will be described. The 12-digit number is divided into a total of 6 blocks of 2 digits, and each 2-digit number represents an I / O group.
D. For example, "20" in Kanagawa Prefecture, "01" in Yokohama City, "11" in Nishi Ward, "04" in Okano, and "0" in Chome
1 "and apartment" 01 ". As a result, it is possible to indicate the position information of the user in six groups with one ID.

The management of the position information ID will be described. In the position information ID, a large group (a group covering a wide range) starts from the left leading digit side, and the lower digit side is information of a small group. For example, when the group manager intends to correct the information in the "Yokohama City" area in the above example, the left four-digit area is designated and the data section is instructed to correct the data. Then, the information of the user data belonging to the group corresponding to the ID of four digits (that is, two blocks) from the upper group side is changed. Further, when a more detailed level of correction is required, it is possible to specify and change the ID of the left digit to a more detailed level as described above. It is also possible to correct the data in.

FIG. 6 shows an image diagram of the variable area of the administrator data. This indicates each management area in the display content item on one web page. The management area is roughly divided into a data information area where the user can change his / her own WEB display as shown in this system diagram.
The data information area can be changed by an area manager and the data information area can be changed by a system administrator. As a result, each group manager can transmit a real-time information to express an independent WEB.

This is shown more specifically in FIG. this is,
It is an example of a group information distribution WEB page. As shown in FIG. 7, each part can be freely changed by the administrator on the WEB. Regarding “Notification” and “Convenience Handbook” shown in FIG. 7, information differs depending on the group to which each user belongs, and information is posted for each group, and the information is assigned to the authority of each group administrator. Can be changed and corrected on the web. The "favorite channel" on the left side of the figure is designed so that each user can freely change and modify the data, and this data is stored in a data storage unit of the user. These parts are collectively managed by a system administrator, and the system administrator can customize the entire information on the WEB.

FIG. 8 shows an example of the data change screen of the administrator. As shown in the figure, the administrator has the authority to modify and change the data of the self-managed condominium. For example, by specifying the condominium and rewriting the contents, it is possible to deliver real-time WEB information. .

Similarly, FIG. 9 shows an image diagram of the management level, which shows the range of the management authority in all the users WEB. In the case of management based on area information, the area in which a large area manager can perform a change operation includes a small area management area as shown in the figure. Therefore, by giving appropriate management areas to the necessary area managers, it is possible to independently express WEB for each group for each group.

However, in this case, the operation is performed within the changeable range described above, and it is naturally impossible to operate the items outside the changeable range by the group administrator.

In this way, the WEB and the database are completely linked, and several types of WEB content display sections change the display for each region, enabling hundreds or thousands of WEB expressions. Therefore, extremely flexible and efficient local information can be developed as a unique WEB.

The contents described above are summarized in a chart, and FIG. 10 shows a comparison with the conventional WEB. This figure shows a series of flows from the start to the end of browsing, and detailed operations of each part are as described above. First, the operation and operation of the present invention are completely the same from the conventional WEB and start to ID and password verification. In the conventional WEB, the user who is authenticated here is divided into displaying a unified member-only page or displaying partial extracted information from the user information. Then, the user browses the WEB and closes the WEB to end the process.

The purpose of the group information distribution system of the present invention is to distribute information that has been voluntarily changed by the group manager.
There are two types of flows: general user flow and group administrator flow. Then, after the collation work of the ID and the password is completed, data corresponding to the group of the user is displayed to the general user, and data corresponding to the group administrator is displayed to the group manager. As shown in the figure, the extracted display WEB information of the user is directly connected to the management WEB of the group administrator.

The group manager modifies and changes the data,
When the change contents are registered, the Web contents extracted and displayed for the general user are changed. Further, the general user can rewrite the database within the management range of the user without ending after the browsing operation. As described above, according to the present invention, a voluntary W is reflected through the various processes from the start of the WEB to the end of the browsing and the will of each administrator is reflected.
The EB can be displayed.

The following can be given as examples of service contents provided by the group information distribution system of the present invention. (1) Information distribution service for each apartment. In particular,
Information distribution to each apartment house, home owner announcement distribution,
Management company announcement distribution, use as a local shopping street tenant or management software, etc.

(2) Information distribution service for each school. Specifically, information distribution to each school, distribution of education information by grade, distribution of gender education information, and the like are provided.

(3) Information distribution service for each administrative district. Specifically, information distribution to each prefecture, city, and town unit, notification distribution from the government, distribution of community-based information, distribution of business and industry information, and the like.

(4) Information distribution service for each ISP. Specifically, information distribution for each ISP unit, information distribution for each ISP company region, information distribution for each service, trouble information and communication item distribution, and the like.

(5) Information distribution service for each branch. More specifically, the information distribution includes notification information distribution from managers and notification distribution from each branch.

(6) An advertisement distribution service for each area. Specifically, the advertisement distribution is performed on an area-by-region basis, or an area-based advertisement distribution.

(7) An information distribution system for each university department.
Specifically, it is information distribution from school closure, information distribution from a professor, and the like.

(8) Tenant building information distribution service. Specifically, information distribution to each tenant, notification from building management, and the like.

Note that the above service contents are merely examples, and it is possible to collect and provide information according to the conditions in various other industries and applications.

As described above, in the present invention, it is important that the database and the WEB are completely linked, and individual unique information can be distributed to each unit group that can be conceptually divided into regions, organizations, and the like. Is the biggest feature.

The distribution of the unique information to each unit group has a high merit on the distribution side, and it is possible to recruit a wide range of applicants for information distribution to each unit group, and the management merit for each unit group is also enormous. This is another major feature of this system.

As the personal data of the user, an address, a name,
Gender, occupation, contact information, etc. are stored in the data section. In distributing the information, in addition to the user ID, it is also possible to perform grouping according to items that are appropriately selected from these personal data, and to distribute unique information to users belonging to the grouped group. it can.

[0049]

As described above, when the group information distribution system according to the present invention is used, the following excellent effects can be obtained. (1) A large number of users of this system who have no Internet experience can easily obtain information rooted in the area without complicated operations.
(2) A specific number of local information managers who have no Internet experience can distribute information to a specific area without complicated operations. (3) By linking several types of WEBs and a database, innumerable WEBs can be expressed. (4) Regarding banner advertisements and advertisements, Internet advertisements are usually posted in a global environment, and the fee for non-adapted viewers tends to be included in the advertisement cost. Use this system. Thus, effective advertisement distribution becomes possible. (5) Each administrator can distribute real-time information using the management WEB. (6) An administrator in large units can manage information and other information for each small unit group, and can be widely used as various management systems. (7) Using this system, ISP companies that are closely linked to the local community, such as cable TV companies, can distribute information in various area units and focus on regional themes such as administrative information and shopping street information. Content distribution becomes easy and simple.
