DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0027]
First, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described.
[0028]
FIG. 1 conceptually illustrates the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, first, the user operates the user portable terminal 1 (for example, a mobile phone, a PHS, etc.) to specify the order in which the list of personal names as index elements is to be sorted. A request including the condition information is created and transmitted to the server 2 ((1)). Here, the index is an index of the address book, and indicates a list of names such as personal names used when calling personal data (for example, telephone numbers, mail addresses, etc.) of the address book. The sort condition information is information for specifying a condition for sorting the index. One log element (for example, the number of mail transmissions) or a combination of several elements (for example, the number of mail transmissions and the number of mail receptions). Total) etc. Further, the log indicates communication history information such as a cumulative call time between users in a call, a cumulative number of incoming / outgoing calls, a number of mail transmission / reception, and the like. Next, the server 2 refers to the received request, sorts the log ((2)), and transmits the sorting result index to the user portable terminal 1 ((3)). Finally, the user portable terminal 1 links the index received from the server 2 with the actual data in the address book built in the user portable terminal 1 so that the address book data can be called from the index and displayed ((4)). .
[0029]
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the embodiment of the present invention, which includes a user portable terminal 1, a server 2, and a network 3 such as a telephone network of a cellular phone company that connects them to each other. .
[0030]
The user portable terminal 1 is a portable terminal such as a cellular phone or PHS used by the user, and communicates with the input unit 11 that receives an input of a request from the user, an analysis unit 12 that operates by program control, and the server 2. Communication unit 13, an address book database 14 storing personal data, and a display unit 15 corresponding to a display device. The analysis unit 12 includes a request creation unit 121 and a link unit 122. The request creation unit 121 creates a request to be transmitted to the server 2 based on information input from the input unit 11 by the user. The link unit 122 has a function of creating a link between the index and the actual data in the address book so that the personal data in the address book database 14 can be called from the index received from the server 2 via the communication unit 13.
[0031]
Here, as shown in FIG. 3 (a diagram showing an example of request information transmitted from the user portable terminal to the server), the request includes a field “sort condition information” for determining in what order the index is output, and an index. The field is composed of two fields “update information” for determining the update time. For example, if you want to create an index that displays elements (index personal information) in descending order of the number of emails sent / received, specify the “number of emails sent / received” in the former field and automatically receive a new index from the server 2 once a month. If you want to do this, specify "Once a month" in the latter field.
[0032]
The server 2 is an information processing device such as a server installed by an index creation / management company such as a mobile phone company, for example, a communication unit 21 that communicates with the user portable terminal 1, a sort unit 22 that operates by program control, A log information database 23 and a user-specific request storage unit 24 are included.
[0033]
The sort unit 22 refers to the log information database 23 based on the sort condition information of the request received via the communication unit 21, sorts the index according to the condition of the sort condition information, and sorts the sorted index via the communication unit 21. And a function of transmitting to the user portable terminal 1. The sorting unit 22 refers to the user-specific request storage unit 24 periodically (for example, once every day), extracts users whose index update date is that day, and displays the sort result based on the request sort condition information. It has a function of creating an index and transmitting it to the corresponding user portable terminal 1.
[0034]
The log information database 23 stores data related to communication history (log information) of members of the index creation service. The index creation / management company including the server 2 asks the carrier (telecommunications carrier) in advance for the telephone number and mail address of the member's mobile terminal and asks the carrier's communication history server to register it. The log information is transmitted from the communication history server to the server 2 every time a member mobile terminal makes or receives a call. The log information to be transmitted includes the date of incoming / outgoing call, the telephone number or mail address of the caller, the telephone number or mail address of the callee, and the call time (in the case of incoming / outgoing calls). These data are received by a log information management unit (not shown) of the server 2 and stored for each member user ID. In addition, the log information management unit (not shown) periodically checks the data amount of each member's log information, and if it exceeds a certain amount, it deletes the old data in order from the old data, or old data older than a predetermined period. It has a function to delete.
[0035]
The user-specific request storage unit 24 stores information including a user ID, a password, a telephone number, a mail address, request information (sort condition information, update information), and the next periodic update date. Among these, the user ID, password, telephone number, and e-mail address are registered in advance when the user becomes a member of the index creation service, and the request information (sort condition information, update information) is stored by the user on the user portable terminal. Registered when the server 2 accesses the server 2 and transmits request information. The next periodic update date is registered when the user transmits request information from the user portable terminal 1 to the server 2 and when the server 2 transmits a periodic update index to the user portable terminal 1. .
[0036]
Next, the operation of the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0037]
First, the operation at the time of a user's request for creating an address book index will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the result of calculating values corresponding to the sort condition from the log information, FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the display index after sorting created by the server, and FIG. 6 is the user FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the linking of the index and address book data in the portable terminal, FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the operation when the user makes an address book index creation request, and FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a request input screen.
[0038]
Referring to FIG. 7, the user first selects “sort index” on the menu provided from the program of the analysis unit 12 from the input unit 11 of the user portable terminal 1, and inputs the user ID and password, An address book index creation request is made (step A1). Next, the user inputs from the input unit 11 two items, “sort condition information” for determining the arrangement order of index elements (personal information) and “update information” for determining an automatic update cycle from the server 2. . Specifically, the user selects and determines “sorting condition” and “update interval” on the “address book sorting method request menu” shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, it is assumed that “mail transmission / reception frequency” is selected as “sorting condition” and “once a month” is selected and input as “update interval” (step A2). The request creation unit 121 of the user portable terminal 1 receives the information specified in step A2, creates a request as shown in FIG. 3, and sends the request together with the user ID and password to the server 2 via the communication unit 13 (step) A3). After transmitting the request to the server 2, the user portable terminal 1 moves to a waiting state until notified from the server 2.
[0039]
On the other hand, the sort unit 22 of the server 2 that has received the request, the user ID, and the password via the communication unit 21 (Step B1) collates whether the user ID and the password registered in the user-specific request storage unit 24 match. Thereafter, the number of mail transmission / reception times that is the request sort condition information is calculated for all data of the corresponding user accumulated in the log information database 23. FIG. 4 shows an example of the result of calculating values corresponding to the sort condition information, that is, the cumulative number of calls made / received, the cumulative call duration, the number of mail transmissions, and the number of receptions from the log information. In FIG. 4, “Mr. A”, “Mr. B”, etc. are described in the index personal information column, but this does not indicate an individual name, but A's phone number, e-mail number, B's phone number In order to make it easier to understand the correspondence with personal names such as Mr. A and Mr. B in the address book of the user portable terminal 1 later, it is described as Mr. A, Mr. B, etc. for convenience.
[0040]
Here, if the sort condition information is the number of times of mail transmission / reception, sorting is performed by a value obtained by adding the elements “transmission frequency” and “reception frequency” of the log mail information shown in FIG. In FIG. 4, “Mr. A” that has been transmitted and received a total of 40 times (30 times + 10 times) is the first line element of the index, and thereafter 18 times (8 times + 10 times) “Mr. C”, It is followed by “Mr. D” 17 times (7 times + 10 times), “Mr. B” 0 times (0 times + 0 times) (step B2). The sorting unit 22 creates an index in which personal information is rearranged from the calculation result of step B2. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the sorted index is composed of a ranking and index personal information. In addition, in the index personal information column in FIG. 5, the description of Mr. A, Mr. B, etc. does not indicate the individual name, as in FIG. 4, but A's phone number, mail number, B's phone number , E-mail number, which is described as Mr. A, Mr. B, etc. for convenience in order to make it easier to understand the correspondence with personal names such as Mr. A, Mr. B, etc. in the address book of the user portable terminal 1 later. Step B3). The sorting unit 22 transmits the sorted display index to the user portable terminal 1. Then, the sorting unit 22 registers the request information (sort condition information and update information) and the next regular update date in the user-specific request storage unit 24. The next periodic update date is calculated by adding the update interval specified by the update information on the date of the current day (step B4).
[0041]
In the user portable terminal 1 that has been in the waiting state, after receiving the display index via the communication unit 13 (step A4), in order to be able to call the personal information in the address book database 14 from the display index, the link unit 122 links the index and the actual data in the address book (see FIG. 6). As for the description of the display index A, B, etc. in FIG. 6, when sent from the server 2 as in FIGS. 4 and 5, A's phone number, mail number, B's It is a phone number or email number. Then, the link unit 122 links the index and the actual data in the address book, and replaces the index with personal names such as Mr. A and Mr. B that are the link destinations (step A5). As a result, the index element (index personal information) is associated with the personal data in the address book, and the personal data can be called from the index.
[0042]
Next, the index automatic update function of the server 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the operation during automatic index update.
[0043]
In this function, the latest index is automatically distributed from the server 2 to the user portable terminal 1 periodically, and the update interval is set for each user by “update information” included in the request. The update information is valid until the next request is sent to the server 2, and is selected from “once a week”, “once a month”, or “only when inquiring (no automatic setting)” as shown in FIG. it can.
[0044]
Referring to FIG. 9, the sorting unit 22 of the server 2 periodically (for example, once every day) checks whether there is a user whose current day is the periodic update date by referring to the user-specific request storage unit 24. ing. As described in step B4, the next periodic update date information registered at the time of a request from the user portable terminal 1 or at the previous periodic update is registered in the user-specific request storage unit 24 (step C1). . When there is a user corresponding to the periodic update date, the sorting unit 22 of the server 2 creates the latest index based on the sorting condition information of the user and the current log stored in the log information database 23 (step C2, C3), and transmitted to the user portable terminal 1 of the corresponding user (step C4). After that, the sorting unit 22 stores the data of the next regular update date of the corresponding user stored in the user-specific request storage unit 24. For example, when the update information is "once a month", The processing is terminated after rewriting (step C5).
[0045]
The link unit 122 of the user portable terminal 1 that has received the index (Step D1) inquires of the user whether or not to update the index (Step D2), and if the update is selected by the user, an address for replacement with a new index. The link with the actual data of the book is re-established, and the received telephone number and mail address index are replaced with personal names such as A and B who are the link destinations (step D3). If the index is not replaced with the latest version, the index is discarded.
[0046]
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
[0047]
This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that a partner who has not made a call for a certain period of time or has not received a call based on the log of the server 2 can be deleted from the address book of the user portable terminal 1. For this purpose, an additional field is added to the request information transmitted from the user portable terminal 1, and in this field, the caller / caller information (telephone number, mail number) of how long in the past is desired to be communicated. It has information to specify. In this case, the designated period may be selected from a period shorter than the period stored in the log information database 23. Then, the server 2 notifies the partner transmitted and received during the period designated by the user by adding a predetermined mark on the index transmitted to the user portable terminal 1 at the time of index request or periodic update. . The user portable terminal 1 collates the addressed person with the mark in the index, displays the personal data included in the address book but not the marked person, and deletes it to the user The personal data is deleted from the address book when there is an inquiry to determine whether or not to delete. This embodiment is effective for regularly organizing personal data in the address book.
[0048]
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described.
[0049]
This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that when there is a partner who is not registered in the address book on the index received from the server 2, the partner data that exists only in the index is automatically stored in the address book. It is a point to insert into. When the user portable terminal 1 receives the index from the server 2, the user portable terminal 1 collates with the personal data in the address book to see if there is a partner who is not registered in the address book. If it exists, the personal data is additionally registered in the address book. At this time, the user may be inquired whether additional registration is to be performed. Also, for incoming calls only, spam mails and one-off calls (for example, ring the incoming signal only once, disconnect the call before the other party answers, and leave only the incoming call history on the other party's mobile phone) It may be considered that the registration is not performed. In this case, the request information transmitted from the user portable terminal 1 includes the partner notification request information only for the incoming call history. When the server 2 transmits the index to the user portable terminal 1, the server 2 notifies the other party only of incoming calls by attaching a predetermined mark. The user portable terminal 1 does not additionally register a partner with this mark even if the partner is not registered in the address book.
[0050]
Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described.
[0051]
This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that measures against spam mails and one-off calls are made possible. The index created by the server 2 may include partner data that is not registered in the address book of the user portable terminal 1. Therefore, the history of only incoming calls that are not sent by the user among the other party data that exists only in the index is regarded as spam mail or one-off phone calls and fed back to the server 2. For this purpose, the request information transmitted from the user portable terminal 1 includes the partner notification request information only for the incoming call history. When the server 2 transmits the index to the user portable terminal 1, the server 2 notifies the other party only of incoming calls by attaching a predetermined mark. When the user portable terminal 1 receives the index from the server 2, the user portable terminal 1 collates with the personal data in the address book whether there is any data that is not registered in the address book among the marked partner data. If it exists, the partner data is transmitted to the server 2, and the server 2 stores the data notified from the user portable terminal 1 as nuisance data in the nuisance data storage area provided for each user in advance. Note that when the user portable terminal 1 transmits the nuisance data to the server 2, the user portable terminal 1 may make an inquiry to the user as to whether or not to transmit the data. Thus, when a telephone call or mail is received, a telephone exchange or mail server (not shown) can refer to the junk data storage area of the server 2 and reject a call or mail from the other party stored in the junk data storage area. .
[0052]
The first to fourth embodiments described above may be implemented independently, or a plurality of embodiments may be arbitrarily combined.
[0053]
In the above embodiment, the index is created and transmitted at the time of request from the user portable terminal 1 and at the time of periodic update, but may be limited to only at the time of request or at the time of periodic update.
[0054]
【The invention's effect】
In the present invention, the call history and mail history for each user are stored as a log in the server, and the server creates an index based on the log and transmits it to the mobile terminal. Therefore, the storage function and the index sorting function are not required, and the function provided to the portable terminal and the effect of reducing the memory capacity can be achieved.
[0055]
Also, the present invention covers log data that cannot be acquired depending on the state of the mobile terminal by using a server (history of incoming calls received during a call that cannot be left in the mobile terminal during a call). There is an effect that it is possible to realize index creation in which the order of communication frequency is guaranteed by an accurate communication history.
[0056]
Further, the present invention provides the server side with the function of monitoring the index update time and the function of creating the index, and the mobile terminal side has only the function of creating a link between the address book and the index. With the simple specification of the sort condition and the like, the latest index can be automatically received from the server periodically, and the address book can always be operated with the new index.
