Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to an electronic message board system for accessing a message board server from a communication terminal such as a portable telephone to provide a message to the message board server and receive a message from the message board server.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, terminals having communication functions such as mobile phones, PHSs (simplified mobile phones), PDAs (portable information terminals) and the like, as well as general fixed phones, have been rapidly spreading. An electronic message board system using a communication terminal has begun to be established. This system is a system that accesses a message board server from a communication terminal and provides a message to the message board server and receives a message from the message board server. The destination of the message may be a specific party or an unspecified party. It is established mainly for the purpose of communication between subscribers.

[0003] For example, in the case of PHS, a program that allows the caller to specify the distance from the place where the caller is present to the place where the message was sent, and to retrieve information stored in the message board server. Exists. In this program, the caller can narrow down the information transmission area and easily obtain only the information transmitted from the surrounding area close to him, and the information sender can listen to the response message addressed to him from anywhere. it can. The information to be provided includes recruitment of friends and friends, selling and buying, shopping information, and the like.

[0004] In these electronic message board systems, information provided may include information that is against public order and morals and information that is related to a crime. For this reason, at present (for example, once a day), the server side staff checks the contents of the public message stored in the message board server and deletes inappropriate information.

[0005] However, this inappropriate message is posted on the message board for a certain time until it is deleted, which is not preferable. In addition, there is whether or not the criteria to really delete to delete staff's own value judgments may become subjective.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to delete an inappropriate message in real time in an electronic message board system and to make the value judgment of deletion more objective. And

[0007] In this specification, the term "communication terminal" refers to a general fixed telephone, a portable telephone, a PHS (simple portable telephone),
Refers to all terminals having a communication function, such as DA (Portable Information Terminal).

[0008]

The present invention according to claim 1 is an electronic message board system for accessing a message board server from a communication terminal to provide a message to the message board server or receive a message from the message board server. When the message board server receives a vote from the accessor to delete a message on the message board stored in the message board server, the message board server calculates the total number of votes to delete the message, An electronic message board system configured to delete the message from the message board when the total number of votes reaches a predetermined number.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, when the accessor accesses the message board server from the communication terminal and receives the message stored in the message board server, the message is considered unpleasant and inappropriate. If so, a vote can be made to delete the message from the message board. The message board server calculates the total number of votes to delete the message each time a vote to delete the message is performed, and deletes the message from the message board when the total number of votes reaches a predetermined number. I do.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, when the message board server deletes a message, the message board server creates a warning message for the message provider, and when the message provider accesses the message provider, the message server creates the warning message. 2. The electronic message board system according to claim 1, which informs the message provider.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, when the number of votes to delete a message reaches a predetermined number, the message board server deletes the message. Create a warning message such as "This message has been judged inappropriate by many people and will be deleted from the message board." Notify the provider.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, when the number of warning messages to the same message provider reaches a predetermined number, the message provider can provide the message to the message board server after reaching the predetermined number of messages, but the message board does not receive the message from the message board. 3. The electronic message board system according to claim 2, wherein the message is deleted and the other person cannot access the message even if another person accesses the message.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, when the same message provider provides an improper message to the message board many times, the number of warning messages to the message provider reaches a predetermined number. Thereafter, the message provider can provide the message to the message board server, but the message is removed from the message board. Therefore, even if another person accesses the message board server, the other person cannot receive the message.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided the electronic message board system according to the first aspect, wherein the voting is valid only for one message from one accessor ID for one message.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, only one vote is valid from one accessor ID for one message, so that the same person votes only one vote for one provided message. can do.

[0016]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, a predetermined number of people can delete in real time messages that they find unpleasant or inappropriate, so that messages that are against public order and morals and messages that lead to crime can be deleted. You don't have to put it on the message board for a long time. Further, since the message is deleted when a predetermined number of votes have been received, a predetermined number of people have determined that the message should be deleted, and the value judgment of deletion can be made more objective. In addition, data on what kind of messages are offensive to the public is accumulated, and can be used as a reference when checking on the server side in the future.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, a warning message is given to a person who has provided a message determined by a predetermined number of persons to be deleted, so that the message provider recognizes that the message is to be deleted. And may refrain from providing such a message the next time.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, for a person who regularly provides an unpleasant or inappropriate message, the message provided by the person is prevented from being received by another person, so that the message is not received. To disable browsing.
In addition, since the person who provided the message does not know that the message will be removed from the message board, the effect of not posting the message board can be generated in a gentle manner without immediately inviting the opposition of the person.

According to the present invention, since the same person can vote only one vote for the same message, it is possible to prevent the same person from voting more than one vote for the same message. You can guarantee a fair voting system.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In this embodiment, the PHS calls the message board server to provide a message (information) to the message board server and receives a message from the message board server. An example of a program in which a message is provided by calling the message board server from the PHS and the message stored in the message board server and transmitted from a location close to the current location of Mr. B will be described as an example. In this program, Mr. B narrows down the information transmission area when he makes a call (for example, designates “information transmitted within a 10 km radius from the place where he is now”), and the surrounding area close to him. , And the information sender (Mr. A) can listen to a response message addressed to him from anywhere. The information to be provided includes recruitment of friends and friends, selling and buying, shopping information, and the like.

In the above program, if the information initially transmitted by Mr. A is unpleasant and inappropriate,
A system for deleting the information of Mr. A by voting by those who call the message board server to receive the information will be described below. Accept votes,
A system that deletes the information when the number of votes to delete reaches a predetermined number exists in the message board server 2.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the electronic message board system according to the present embodiment. Message board server 2
Is connected to the user's PHS via a telephone line.
Here, two users are set, one of which is Mr. A's PHS,
The other is Mr. B's PHS.

The message board server 2 comprises a receiving unit 4, a message storing unit 6, a counting unit 8, and a voice guiding unit 10. The receiving unit 4 is connected to the user's PHS via a telephone line, and receives telephone communication from the user. The message storage unit 6 has a normal storage unit 12 and a separate storage unit 14 for storing a user's message, and is connected to the reception unit 4. The counting unit 8 is connected to the receiving unit 4. The voice guidance unit 10 is connected to the reception unit 4, the counting unit 8, and the message storage unit 6.

The processing operation of the above configuration will be described as the operation of this embodiment.

First, a case where Mr. A sends a message from the PHS will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a processing operation of the message board server 2 in a procedure for transmitting a message. A message may provide information for the first time, or may be a reply to a message already received. Here, the case of providing information for the first time will be described.

When Mr. A calls the message board server 2 by PHS, the receiving unit 4 receives the call from Mr. A via the telephone line. After the reception, the voice guidance unit 10 generates a voice guidance so as to input a message, and the reception unit 4 gives voice guidance to Mr. A (step 90). When a message is input by Mr. A (step 92), a message is input by Mr. A (step 94). The message is stored in the message storage unit 6 via the reception unit 4. If no message is entered by Mr. A (step 9
2), the message transmission procedure ends (step 9)
6). When the message is input and stored, the voice guidance unit 10 recognizes that the message has been input and stored, and a voice guidance such as “the message has been received” is generated by the voice guidance unit 10, and the reception unit 4 Is passed to Mr. A (step 106). When the message is input and stored in step 94, whether a flag described later is ON,
F is determined (step 98), and if it is ON, the message is stored in the separate storage unit 14 (step 1).
00), if it is OFF, the message is stored in the normal storage unit 12 (step 102). Step 106
After that, the message transmission procedure ends.

Next, a case where Mr. B receives a message will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a processing operation of the message board server 2 in a procedure for receiving a message.

When Mr. B calls the message board server 2 by PHS, the receiving unit 4 receives the call from Mr. B via the telephone line. After the reception, the voice guidance unit 10 asks for the designation of the message transmission area, and generates a voice guidance explaining that if the message is unpleasant or inappropriate, the user can vote to delete the message. A voice guidance is given to him (step 50).

When Mr. B designates, for example, "information sent for a friend within a 10 km radius of the place where he / she is now, information for recruiting friends" (step 52), the message storage unit 6 searches for the existence of the corresponding message. (Step 5
4). In this embodiment, it is assumed that the message transmitted from Mr. A corresponds to the designation of Mr. B. Here, if a reply message addressed to Mr. B is stored in the message storage unit 6, the reply message is also retrieved (step 54). Note that the retrieved message is both the initial message and the reply message in the normal storage unit 1.
Only the message stored in step 2 (step 54). Messages stored in the separate storage unit 14 are not searched.

If the corresponding message exists in step 54, the voice guidance unit 10 reads out the number of the original message and the number of the reply message and also reads out the date and time when the first message was transmitted.
, And transmitted by the receiving unit 4 (step 56).
Here, in the reading order, the initial message has priority over the reply message. That is, the initial message is the first message. If the corresponding message does not exist in step 54, the procedure for receiving the message ends (step 58).

After step 56, the stored message (here, the message of Mr. A) is reproduced via the voice guidance unit 10 and played by the receiving unit 4 (step 6).
0).

After the reproduction, the menu guidance is generated by the voice guidance unit 10 and played by the receiving unit 4 (step 6).
2). Menus include 4 “vote for message deletion”, 0 “replay message”, # “play next message”, 6 “play previous message”, 7 “input reply”
There are “recording” and * “back”. A menu is selected by Mr. B (step 64).

If Mr. B hears Mr. A's message and thinks Mr. A's message is against public order and morals,
"A message from Mr. A should be deleted." Vote is 1 for ID (phone number) of Mr. B
Since the vote is valid and only one vote can be made for one message from the same telephone number, the same person is prevented from voting more than one vote for one message, and fairness of the voting system is achieved.

4 When "voting for message deletion" is selected, the counting section 8 adds one vote for voting for message deletion (step 66). Whether the message count has reached a predetermined number (here, 20) or not is calculated (step 78). If the predetermined number (ie, 20) has been reached, then 20 people have complained of Mr. A's message. Then, a warning message to Mr. A is generated by the voice guidance unit 10 (step 80), and this warning message is sent when Mr. A next calls the message board server 2. As the warning message, a statement such as "The message you sent on the date of month and month was deleted because many people felt unpleasant" was considered. When the warning message is generated by the voice guidance unit 10, this message of Mr. A stored in the normal storage unit 12 is moved to another storage unit 14 (step 8).
1). As a result, even if someone calls the message board server 2 thereafter, the message of Mr. A cannot be received.

Next, it is determined whether the number of warning messages to Mr. A has reached a predetermined number (here, three times) (step 82). If so, turn on the flag (step 8
4). Achieved is A
Mr. A has been deleted three times, meaning Mr. A has habitually sent a message that many find unpleasant and inappropriate. If not, the flag remains OFF (step 86). Flag is ON
Then, as described above, the message that Mr. A sends thereafter is stored in the separate storage unit 14 of the message board server 2 regardless of whether it is a new message or a reply message (Step 100 in FIG. 2). If the message is stored in the separate storage unit 14, even if someone calls the message board server 2, no message of Mr. A can be received. That is, Mr. A's message is effectively removed from the message board. If the flag remains OFF, as described above, the message sent from Mr. A is stored in the ordinary storage unit 12 of the message board server 2 regardless of whether it is a new message or a reply message (FIG. 2). Step 102). That is, if Mr. A sends a message thereafter, another person can receive Mr. A's message when calling the message board server 2.

When a warning message to Mr. A is generated in step 80, a message notifying that the vote has been made, such as "voting to delete the message" is generated by the voice guidance unit 10, and the receiving unit 4 (step 88). If the message count has not reached the predetermined number in step 78, it means that the person who is still uncomfortable with Mr. A's message has not reached the predetermined number, so the message of Mr. A is deleted at this stage. Without doing so (without moving to a separate storage unit), the flow proceeds to step 88. The process moves from step 88 to step 54.

If 0 is selected in step 64,
Returning to step 54, the message is played again. If # is selected in step 64, the process moves to the next message (step 68) and returns to step 54. If 6 is selected in step 64, the process moves to the previous message (step 70) and returns to step 54. If 7 is selected in step 64, the flow shifts to the step of recording a reply (step 72), and the flow shifts to reply recording logic (step 74). If * is selected in step 64, the process proceeds to the step of returning to the original state (step 7).
6) Go to step 58 and end.

According to this embodiment, a predetermined number of people can delete in real time messages that they find unpleasant or inappropriate, so that messages that are offensive to public order and morals and messages that lead to crime can be deleted for a long time. , You don't have to put it on the message board. Further, since the message is deleted when a predetermined number of votes have been received, a predetermined number of people have determined that the message should be deleted, and the value judgment of deletion can be made more objective. In addition, data on what kind of messages are unpleasant to the public is accumulated, which will be used as a reference when the program organizer manually checks on the server side in the future. In parallel with the present embodiment, the message board server 2 can more reliably delete inappropriate messages from the message board by manually checking the contents of the messages periodically.

A warning message is given to a person (Mr. A) who has provided a message that a predetermined number of persons have determined to be deleted, so that Mr. A can recognize that the message is inappropriate and start the next time. Providing such a message can be withheld.

Further, for a person who regularly provides an unpleasant or inappropriate message, the message provided by that person is prevented from being received by others, so that the message cannot be viewed. it can. The person who provided the message (Mr. A) stores the message in a separate storage unit 1
Since the user does not know that the message has been saved in the message board 4, the effect of not posting the message board can be produced in a gentle manner without immediately inviting the opposition of the person.

The present invention is not limited to the PHS, but is applicable to any terminal having a communication function, such as a general fixed telephone, a portable telephone, a PDA, a personal computer connected to a telephone line, and the like.
