Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a personal information list creating system and a personal information list creating method, and more particularly, to a specific business entity having a portable communication means via a communication line such as the Internet. The present invention relates to a personal information list creation system and a personal information list creation method capable of providing predetermined personal information to a contractor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a user who uses a portable communication device such as a mobile phone, a PHS, and a pager exchanges information with each other through a communication line and, at the same time, exchanges his or her own personal information. The information and, if necessary, the personal information of the partner user are stored and used in a storage means provided in the own communication device.

[0003] For example, there is a list generally called an address book. For example, an individual's name, address, postal code,
A telephone number, an e-mail address, a FAX number, and the like are recorded for each individual, and the user reads out the address book to a display device of the communication device and uses the address book as needed.

In such a conventional portable communication device, each user can use the terminal or keyboard of his own communication device to make his or her own personal data of the address book required by the user. Information data is input, and all the input personal information is stored and stored in a predetermined storage device provided in the portable communication device of the user.

[0005] In addition to the personal information of the subject,
Any maintenance or change of personal information of another person is handled by the person who owns the communication device by operating the communication device.For example, when another person changes the address or changes the telephone number etc. However, the person who owns the communication device has to operate the communication device and register the change.

On the other hand, in the conventional method, for example, a portable communication device or a C
A so-called hosting service for downloading data stored in a P terminal to a server on the Internet and managing the data is partially performed.

However, in such a conventional method,
This is a state in which a group of data that was in the form of a portable communication device or CP terminal has just physically moved to a server on the network. There was a problem that files became redundant.

[0008]

However, in the conventional personal information storage system in the portable communication device, when the database server is evaluated from the viewpoint of the whole system, the individual communication of each user is considered. It is highly probable that personal information of the same person will be stored in the address book formed on the device, and therefore the personal information will be scattered, and the use of the data storage device resources will be wasteful. There is a problem that it has been lost.

On the other hand, in the portable communication device,
Since the capacity of the storage means is small, the number of individuals who can be posted and registered as the address book and the number of individual personal information are limited, and it is often said that all necessary personal information cannot be registered in the storage means. There is a problem.

[0010] Furthermore, in the portable communication device, the input environment is generally poor, so that the registration work for registering the personal information to be registered requires a lot of labor and time. There was also a problem that it was inconvenient and poor in practicality.

Further, as described above, even if the user of the communication device has already registered another person's personal information in his / her own communication device, if the other person changes his / her address or telephone number, for example. In such a case, it is necessary for the user of the communication device to execute the change registration itself, which is inconvenient.

For this reason, conventionally, it has been proposed to increase the capacity of the storage means in the portable communication device. However, the cost problem and the influence of the size of the housing and the relation with the weight have been proposed. Therefore, it was impossible to completely solve the above-mentioned problem only by the idea of increasing the memory capacity of the storage means.

Further, conventionally, when using the hosting service as described above, data stored individually in each portable communication device is transferred to a public server on the Internet. However, this leads to a situation in which most of the personal information exists on the net regardless of the intention of the individual.

That is, data is transferred from the personal terminal to the public server only by the intention of the data keeper. In other words, at present, there is no means for preventing a situation in which the personal data included in the personal data is stored in a server on the network without knowing it.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to improve the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art and to increase the storage capacity of the portable communication device currently used individually by the user without increasing the storage capacity.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a personal information list creation system and a personal information list creation method that can easily and easily use accurate personal information whose information amount is greatly increased.

A further object of the present invention is to provide a managed personal information list creating method and a personal information list creating system in which disclosure of personal information is not disclosed without the individual's knowledge.

[0017]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention employs a basic technical configuration as described below.

That is, as a first aspect according to the present invention,
An entity that manages and provides personal information and a plurality of individuals who have portable communication means can be connected to each other through appropriate communication lines under predetermined contract conditions. The business entity has personal information storage means for storing personal information of the individual contractor and arithmetic processing means for arithmetically processing the individual personal information, and responds to an instruction from the contractor to execute the contract. Is a personal information list creation system configured to provide a personal information list requested by a person to the contractor, and a second aspect according to the present invention is to manage and provide personal information. In an information communication system in which a business entity and a plurality of individuals having portable communication means can be connected to each other via a proper communication line under predetermined contract conditions, the business entity Will transfer the individual contractor's personal information In addition to having personal information storage means for remembering, the individual contractor registers his / her predetermined personal information in the personal information registration means provided in the personal information storage means of the business entity via the communication line. In response to the command from the contractor, the business entity uses the arithmetic processing means of the business entity from the personal information list of all the contractors registered in the personal information storage means. This is a personal information list creating method configured to create a personal information list requested by the contractor and provide the personal information list to the contractor.

[0019]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The personal information list creating system and personal information list creating method according to the present invention employ the above-described technical configuration. Make each contractor who has concluded a contract for a specific service to be provided exist, give each user's personal information stored on the service provider's network at the time of user registration a disclosure attribute, and further disclose the personal information By establishing a database that specifies the users who are allowed to
By using personal information with each other, a system that dynamically obtains a desired personal information list, for example, an address book, from the business entity, confirms the information via a display means on its own communication device, and utilizes the information is used. It is provided.

That is, in the present invention, for example, a telephone number, which is personal information necessary for generating an address book,
At the same time as assigning a control code for controlling the disclosure attribute to information such as an address and an e-mail address, and storing group definition information specifying a partner user who is permitted to access the personal information by the control code. By linking the personal information permitted to be disclosed by the group definition database to each other, a desired address book can be easily obtained from the business entity, and as a result, the amount of input data in the own portable communication device In addition to reducing the amount of stored data, it is possible to reduce operations such as maintenance and change of stored data.

Further, according to the present invention, when an individual user changes a part of the personal information, only the user changes the personal information provided in the personal information storage means of the business entity. It is only necessary to change the predetermined information of the registration means, and the changed personal information of the user can be used by all other contractors by setting up the link, so each contractor is required In any case, by accessing the business entity and requesting creation of a predetermined personal information list, it is possible to always use the latest personal information list.

That is, in the present invention, personal information of the self and a plurality of contractors registered in the personal information storage means of the business entity are mutually used, so that each portable communication device can be individually designated. In order to avoid the duplication of registration and duplication work of registering all of the personal information of another person, a personal information list is efficiently inputted and utilized.

Further, in the personal information list creating system according to the present invention, the personal information obtained by the individual who has decided to publish the personal data to be posted on the server to the last is the personal information of the individual only, The personal information determines the attribute of disclosure for each of the personal information and links only the data permitted to be disclosed to each other, thereby dynamically generating the data required by the user.

Also, in the present system, the data area required by each individual in the hosting service is not limited to the size of the data to be generated (regardless of the address book of 100 persons or the address book of 10,000 persons). In addition, since the personal information to be managed by the user is only his / her own, the data amount is dramatically reduced, and as a result, the cost burden of the service user directly or indirectly can be reduced.

In the present invention, the personal data that the individual decides to publish on the server is the personal information of only the individual who has obtained the consent of the individual, and the personal information is disclosed by the individual. Finally, by dynamically setting the attributes of the user and linking the data permitted to be disclosed to each other, the user can dynamically generate data that he or she may need.

As described above, in the present invention, the desired address book of each user is dynamically generated by inking each personal information that exists only in the database, so that each user can obtain the desired address book. Resources of the data storage device can be saved as compared with a case where the database of the address book is individually owned.

Also, since the personal information of the partner who wants to register in the address book has already been registered in the database by the corresponding partner, the user who wants to create an address does not need to re-enter new data. All you have to do is make a link with the other user.

Further, since the generated address book data is generated by a link, even if the personal information of a certain user is changed, the change is reflected in the address book of all users in real time. Maintenance is not required.

When the system according to the present invention is used, the data area required by each individual in the hosting service is limited to the data area to be generated, no matter how large the data to be generated (100 address books or 10,000 address books). However, since the only personal information that needs to be managed is personal information, the amount of data is drastically reduced, and as a result, the cost burden of direct / indirect service users can be reduced.
