Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an information exchange apparatus for exchanging or introducing personal information, which is information of an individual operating a terminal, between a plurality of terminals connected to a network and a main processing unit. About.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Business card exchange has been widely used as a method for exchanging personal information. Business cards are a very important source of information because they contain a lot of information such as the name of the company or organization to which they belong, the department to which they belong, and the phone number, in addition to the name of the individual.

In order to effectively use business card information,
They are also organized and stored in business card folders or entered into a personal computer to create a database.

[0004] By the way, business card information is often outdated and unusable due to relocation or change of job within a company. In such a case, get a new business card, replace the business card in the business card folder with a new one,
The stored data in the computer must be updated, and when the number is large, the operation becomes extremely troublesome.
Business cards themselves are made of paper, and old business cards are often discarded as garbage, which is a waste of earth resources.

In recent years, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-112899
As described in the official gazette, in a memory in a terminal device such as an electronic notebook or an electronic wristwatch having an infrared communication function,
Data such as the owner's name, telephone number, and e-mail address are stored, and if the first meeting party has a similar terminal device, the data is copied to each terminal device by infrared communication. ing.

[0006] Also on the Internet, http: //www.s
As you can see at ocioware.com/index#jap.htm
A service is provided for exchanging business card information registered on the site by request to an e-mail.

According to such a business card exchange method, business card exchange is extremely easy, and update and deletion can be easily performed. It is also possible to create a database at the same time as business card exchange, which facilitates data search.
In addition, since paper is not used, it saves global resources.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION However, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-11
The business card exchange method described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2899 is effective only in the case of an individual who has specific terminals with respect to each other, and the use range is extremely limited. When exchanging business cards with a large number of people, even if all of them own the terminal, it is a one-to-one exchange. There is a problem that each person has to give permission and it takes time.

[0009] Also, in the business card exchange service provided on the Internet, since the exchange is performed by a request for e-mail, it is effective only in the case of individual-to-individual, and the use range is extremely limited. In other words, when exchanging business cards with a large number of people, it is necessary to make a request to each e-mail, so that there is a problem that it takes time for all of them to exchange business cards.

[0010] Further, when exchanging business cards between individuals who have met each other, a two-step procedure of requesting an e-mail of the other party and obtaining consent from the other party is necessary, so the procedure is complicated. There is also a problem that exchange cannot be performed if the other party does not have an e-mail address.

[0011] The data stored in the terminal or the Web site is mostly used for exchanging business cards, and the data is used at most only to create an address book, and the application range of the data is narrow. There was a defect.

Furthermore, even if the business card information is personalized into a database, it can be used only by the person who created the database, and it is almost impossible for others to use the database.

[0013] Also, there has been no suitable means in the past when advertising or introducing personal information. For example, if you want to change jobs, you need to write a number of resumes and contact many companies, and to find a company that suits you, purchase several employment information magazines or find a job security office. You have to go to the city, which takes a lot of time and effort. Also, for example, when trying to find a competent lawyer or doctor who has a track record in a specific field, very few lawyers and doctors have published their websites on the Internet compared to the total number of people, and there are no other appropriate means. Absent.

Further, when planning a trip, there is no way to widely indicate that the individual wants to go on a trip, and there has been no other way but to obtain information from magazines or newspapers or visit a travel agency.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to newly construct a method that can widely use personal information, which is personal information, via a network.

[0027]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An information exchange device according to the present invention comprises a main processing unit and a plurality of terminals connected to the main processing unit via a network.

Examples of the plurality of terminals include a desktop personal computer, a notebook personal computer, a mobile computer, and a portable telephone. Only a single type of these devices constitutes a network together with the main processing unit. Alternatively, a network may be configured from a plurality of types of devices.

As the main processing unit, the Internet W
An example is an eb server computer, a server computer in a LAN environment, a host computer, and the like.
Further, the main processing device may be a main processing device in which one or more of the terminals share functions on a network. That is, for example, personal information may be stored in a portable telephone, a connection ID may be stored in a server computer, and an ID comparison unit, a selection unit, and an output unit may be performed in another Web server computer. All computers that have shared functions on the network become main processing units.

The plurality of terminals and the main processing device may be connected wirelessly via a network, or may be connected by wire. According to the present invention, the maximum effect is exhibited when wirelessly connected.

The individual information is composed of a plurality of items of information, for example, three types of information described below. The first is the individual's name, address, date of birth, gender, home phone number, home facsimile number, e-mail address, work place, business content, department, position at work place, work address, work telephone. Numbers, phone numbers of mobile phones, specialty fields, documents proving their specialty fields, resumes, affiliations, positions in affiliated organizations, hobbies, special skills, preferences, or face photo image data, video data, audio data, etc. It is composed of a plurality of items of information, and is information of an individual member who owns the terminal.

The second of the three types of information is the store name, address, date of establishment, affiliation category, telephone number to be contacted, fax number, e-mail address, business contents, results, franchise Name and contact information (phone number, address, e-mail address) of Iser and business partners, past awards and punishments, history from establishment, personal information of store owners and representatives as described above, appearance of stores and products handled It consists of a plurality of items of information such as image data such as introspection and introspection, video data, and audio data recording the state of the store, and is information of a store member who owns the terminal.

The third of the three types of information is the name, address, establishment date, affiliation category, telephone number, FAX number, e-mail address, shareholder, business content, and results of the company. , Business partner. Parent company. Names and contacts (phone numbers, addresses, e-mail addresses) of subsidiaries and business partners, past awards and punishments, history since establishment, presidents and officers. Image data, video data, such as personal information of the main employee, such as the appearance and introspection of the company and products handled,
It consists of a plurality of items of information such as audio data recording the state of the office, and is information on the corporate member who owns the terminal.

This personal information may be stored in each terminal or may be stored in the main processing unit, but is preferably stored in the main processing unit. Even when the information is stored in the terminal, the information is stored in the main processing device at least temporarily during the processing, so that the present invention assumes that the personal information is stored in the main processing device.

In the storage unit of the main processing unit, a plurality of connection IDs corresponding to a plurality of members are stored in association with personal information. The connection ID only needs to be able to identify the individual. The connection ID with the Internet provider and the mail I
D or a telephone number of a portable telephone may be an existing one, or may be newly set. When the personal information is stored in the main processing device, the personal information and the connection ID need to be associated with each other in one-to-one correspondence.

The ID comparison unit receives the input I input from the terminal.
D is compared with the connection ID stored in the storage unit. This makes it possible to identify that the person using the terminal is an individual registered in personal information or a person belonging to a store or company registered in personal information, and information exchange by unauthorized persons is possible. Can be eliminated.

The selector compares a plurality of pieces of common permission information input from a plurality of terminals, and selects a plurality of selected terminals having the same common permission information. This makes it possible to read only the personal information corresponding to the selected terminal to which the same common license information has been input.

Examples of the common license information include a recitation number, a password, and the like. It is also preferable to include at least one of the position information and the time information. With this configuration, the main processing device can recognize only the terminal having the same position information or time information as the selected terminal. By using the common license information in which a plurality of these are combined, the selected terminal can be more accurately recognized, and erroneous exchange of information can be more reliably prevented.

The common license information may be determined by persons exchanging immediately before information exchange, or may be registered in the main processing device in advance.

The output unit selects and outputs the individual information corresponding to the remaining connection ID from the item information to the terminal to which one of the connection IDs has been input among the selected terminals. Therefore, a plurality of pieces of personal information corresponding to the terminals having the remaining connection IDs are input to the terminal that has input one connection ID, so that the plurality of selected terminals can exchange personal information. .

The information exchange method according to the first aspect using the above information exchange device enables the exchange of individual information between a plurality of members, and can be used, for example, for business card exchange.

For example, when A and B exchange information,
Both operate their respective terminals to connect to the main processor,
If necessary, enter each connection ID. When the terminal is a portable telephone and the connection ID is the telephone number, manual input of the connection ID is not required. And connection I
If D is already registered, information exchange between A and B becomes possible.

Therefore, A and B input common license information such as a password from their respective terminals. Then the selection section
Both terminals A and B to which the same common license information has been input are set as selected terminals.

Then, the main processing unit outputs the item information selected from the individual information of A to the terminal of B, and outputs the item information selected from the individual information of A to the terminal of B. As a result, information can be exchanged, and the item information selected from the individual information is stored in both terminals, so that the trouble of inputting information can be saved.

In order to select item information from the individual information, the processing device may be programmed in advance to select predetermined item information, or may be selected by operating a terminal. In the latter case, the control password determined between the member and the main processing device is stored in the main processing device, and the main processing device outputs only predetermined item information of the personal information by inputting the control password from the member. It is desirable. By doing so, for example, when information is exchanged, A inputs a control password from the terminal, and the main processing device selects predetermined item information from the individual information of A and outputs it to the terminal of B. In addition, it is possible to prevent information that is not desired to be accidentally exchanged from being exchanged. Further, public information described later may be exchanged.

The terminal is a portable telephone and has a connection ID.
Is preferably the telephone number of the mobile phone. Thus, by entering into the telephone the common license information that the people who have met have taught each other, it is possible to immediately exchange information on the spot. Also, according to the present invention, one-to-one
Not only can information be exchanged at the same time, but also information can be exchanged at the same time among a plurality of members. Therefore, the portable telephone can be used for information exchange at a party venue, a seminar venue, or the like.

The number of terminals that output personal information is stored in the main processing unit in advance, and it is desirable to output personal information only when the number of selected terminals matches the number. The number of terminals that output personal information may be input by one who is going to exchange information at the time of information exchange, or may be registered in the main processing device in advance. If the number of terminals that are actually connected and have the same common license information is larger than the number, it means that a third party has input the same common license information, and the main processing device Stop output. This prevents personal information from leaking to a third party. If the numbers do not match, it is desirable that the main processing device output to the selected terminal a request to re-input the connection ID or the common license information.

It is desirable that the main processing device outputs the individual information only for a predetermined time from the time when the plurality of pieces of common license information are input. If there is more than one group to exchange information, if the common license information is the same, information may be exchanged with other groups. For example, the common license information is effective only for one hour. By setting a time limit, such a problem can be prevented.
Therefore, it is desirable that the common license information be input and registered in the main processing device every time information is exchanged.

It is also preferable that the main processing unit detects the position information of each selected terminal and outputs the individual information when any of the selected terminals is located within a predetermined range. This can prevent erroneous exchange due to connection of a third party from a remote location.

It is desirable that the main processing unit does not output personal information between terminals that have exchanged information at least once. This can eliminate waste of the same individual information being input to the terminal again. This can be achieved by storing a record such as a transmission record between terminals that have exchanged information in a memory, and searching for the record to stop output when information exchange has been performed in the past. . Note that this is not the case when the personal information is updated, and it is desirable to output at least the updated item information among the item information of the personal information. This can be easily performed by storing the input date and time of the personal information.

When the item information such as the place of work in the personal information is the same among a plurality of personal information, it is preferable to stop exchanging the personal information. In this way, for example, business card exchange within the same company can be prevented. In addition, if the departments belonging to the same company are different,
It is preferable to output individual information.

It is desirable that the terminal has a display device for displaying the individual information output from the main processing unit. As the display device, there are a CRT display, a liquid crystal display and the like, and those conventionally used can be used. The exchanged individual information can be visually recognized by such a display device, and it can be determined whether or not the exchange has been performed correctly. In the case of exchanging business cards, if a display is made in the same format as a conventional paper business card, there is no uncomfortable feeling. When a plurality of pieces of personal information are exchanged, if a plurality of pieces of personal information are displayed side by side, it becomes easy to compare with a person who actually exchanged information on the spot, which also helps to store information.
It is desirable that the arrangement can be freely performed by the individual who operates the terminal. As a result, it is possible to rearrange the seating order of the persons present at the place or to display them in a tree structure, which makes it easier to compare with the person who actually exchanged business cards at the place.

Further, it is desirable that the terminal be provided with a function of selecting and displaying enlarged individual information. As a result, the individual information can be displayed in a legible manner. It is also preferable to add a function that allows a comment to be entered in the personal information. As a result, a memo about the partner with whom information has been exchanged can be stored in the terminal together with the personal information, which makes it easier to recall when viewed later.

It is desirable that the main processing unit or the terminal stores information such as the date and time or place at which the information was exchanged in association with the individual information. This makes it possible to make a note of when or where information was exchanged. It is more preferable that this memo be performed automatically without requiring human power.

The main processing unit has an input unit for receiving the input of the individual information, and compares the input individual information input to the input unit with the stored individual information so that the input individual information and the stored individual information are different. In this case, it is desirable that the stored individual information be replaced with the input individual information, and that the main processing unit output the input individual information to the selected terminal. Thereby, the personal information can be easily updated, and the updated personal information is automatically output to the selected terminal, so that the personal information stored in the selected terminal can always be updated.

It is preferable that the above-mentioned replacement is displayed by displaying the different part and permitting the personal information newly inputted by the user to be "true" so that the erroneous input of the newly registered part can be prevented. Further, the above replacement may overwrite the old personal information regardless of whether there is a different part every time personal information is newly input. When the personal information is newly rewritten in this way, the new personal information is automatically provided to the other party who has exchanged the personal information so far at the opportunity to refer to the personal information. Furthermore,
It is more preferable that the partner who has exchanged the personal information is notified by e-mail or the like that the personal information has been changed.

Further, the plurality of pieces of personal information have common common item information, and the plurality of pieces of personal information are classified and stored in a group having the same common item information. Is changed, it is desirable that the main processing unit changes the common item information of all pieces of personal information belonging to the group. In this way, when the organization of the company is changed, for example, by updating only one item of the personal information stored in the main processing unit, the information of the person belonging to the same company can be obtained. All personal information can be updated. Then, it is desirable that the main processing device outputs the updated personal information to all the selected terminals that have exchanged the personal information before the update.

In the main processing unit or terminal, it is desirable that the stored personal information is stored in a database for each field. This makes searching easier,
You can quickly find the personal information you want to know.

When an unregistered member whose connection ID is not stored connects to the main processing device, the main processing device stores the input ID of the unregistered member as a connection ID, and inputs the individual information from the unregistered member. It is preferable that the main processing device outputs the input individual information to the selection terminal after the input of the information. that time,
Furthermore, if time information, which is the date and time, is added and recorded in addition to the connection ID, even if there is an unregistered member who has transmitted the same input ID, it can be identified by the time difference.

For example, if the personal information of B is not stored in the main processing unit yet, the input ID of B and the date and time information are stored and output to the terminal of A at the time of replacement, and the personal After the input of the information, the main processing unit can output the personal information of B to the terminal of A. This makes it possible to exchange personal information even if the information exchange partner includes members whose personal information is not stored in the main processing unit or between members whose personal information is not stored in the main processing unit. Becomes

According to another information exchange apparatus and information exchange method of the present invention, a storage unit further stores a license ID determined corresponding to a plurality of pieces of personal information. Then, when the license ID is input from the selected terminal to the main processing device via the network, the main processing device selects personal information corresponding to the license ID from the item information and outputs it to the selected terminal.

For example, suppose that A registers 12345 as a license ID and B registers 11111 as a license ID. When A and B exchange information, A has the license ID of B
11111 is input to the main processing apparatus, and B inputs the permission ID 12345 of A to the main processing apparatus. Thereby, the main processor outputs the personal information of A to B, and outputs the personal information of B to A. Thus, information can be exchanged.

In the case of the present invention, as long as only the license ID of the partner who wants to exchange information is known, the exchange can be performed even if the persons exchanging information are not in the same place or in the same time zone. It is also possible to input a plurality of permission IDs to obtain a plurality of pieces of personal information at the same time. Therefore, in order to prevent a third party from obtaining personal information without permission, it is desirable to update the license ID frequently.

Also in the case of the present invention, the control password determined between the member and the member is stored in the main processing unit, and the main processing unit determines a predetermined one of a plurality of item information of the personal information by inputting the control password. It is desirable to output only the item information obtained. By doing so, for example, when information is exchanged, A inputs a control password from the terminal, and the main processing device selects predetermined item information from the individual information of A and outputs it to the terminal of B. It is possible to prevent the exchange of item information that one does not want to know by mistake.

The terminal is a portable telephone and has a connection ID.
Is preferably the telephone number of the mobile phone. Thus, information can be immediately exchanged on the spot by inputting the license IDs that the people who have met taught each other to the telephone.

Further, it is desirable that the main processing device stores the time information and the connection ID of the billing terminal at the same time as the output of the individual information. With this, it is possible to record who personal information was output to whom and when, and trouble can be easily dealt with.

By the way, the personal information includes personal information of a person in a very specialized field such as a doctor or a lawyer, and there is a case where a specific person is to be introduced to another person. For example, there is a case where there is a physician who has abundant experience in treating senile dementia, and a family of an elderly person who has been treated by the physician wants to refer the doctor to another person. In the past, it has been common practice to give an introduction verbally or on paper, but the information is often inaccurate and it is difficult to introduce it to many people at the same time.

Therefore, in the present invention, the main processing device selects the introduction personal information from the plurality of personal information by input from the billing terminal identified and permitted by the main processing device, and converts the item information selected from the introduction personal information. Output to the designated terminal specified by the billing terminal. Thereby, the personal information of the person to be introduced can be simultaneously and accurately introduced to many persons. At this time, if the person who wants to be referred to has registered the referral request of the senile dementia specialist in the main processing device in advance, the main processing device can easily determine the designated terminal, and the referral is promptly performed. be able to.

The billing terminal is a terminal of the person to be introduced, and the designated terminal is a terminal of the person to be introduced. The designated terminal may be one or more. When the billing terminal connects to the main processing device via the network, and the main processing device identifies and approves the billing terminal, the billing terminal designates the personal information to be introduced as introduction personal information, and designates one or more designated personal information. Specify the terminal. Then, the main processing device outputs the item information selected from the introduction individual information to the designated terminal, so that the designated terminal displays the item information selected from the introduction individual information, and the person who wants to be introduced is provided with the item information. Can be seen and introduced.

To select item information from the introduction individual information,
The individual corresponding to the referral individual information may be selected in advance and registered in the main processing device, or may be programmed in the main processing device in advance. For example, it is preferable that the introduction individual information has permission / prohibition information for determining whether or not each item information can be output to a designated terminal. In this way, it is possible to prevent some or all of the item information that is not desired to be introduced from being output to the designated terminal.

It is desirable that this propriety information be stored in the main processing unit by inputting from the terminal of the member corresponding to the individual introduction information. As a result, the propriety information can be determined at the will of the member corresponding to the introduced individual information, and it is possible to reliably prevent the item information that is not desired to be introduced from being introduced.

It is also preferable that a member having a terminal corresponding to the introduced personal information, which is the side to be introduced, designates a billing terminal in advance and permits it, and does not receive introductions from other terminals. . This allows you to limit yourself to referrals by members you trust.

The introduction of such personal information is accompanied by a sentence that evaluates the fine work performance of the business card exchange partner, and the business card exchange partner has special ability like the business card exchange partner with appreciation. For the best results, referrals to people in need. That is, at the time of introduction,
This has the effect that the person who has been introduced with the personal information does not need to write it again.

An individual who has registered personal information in the main processing unit may want to release item information selected from the personal information on a network. For example, an individual who wishes to change jobs can disclose the skills, skills, qualifications, and the like based on his or her own experience to a company or the like via a network, thereby eliminating the need to send a resume. It would be even more convenient if it could be made available to multiple companies at the same time, saving the trouble of writing multiple resumes and making it possible to change jobs quickly.

Further, it is convenient for a person whose travel interests are hobbies to disclose the hobbies as public information on a network and obtain proposals and materials for plans from a plurality of travel agencies.

Therefore, it is conceivable that some item information in the individual information is made public on the network by using the information exchange method and the information exchange device described above. However, if the item information is made public at all times, there is a problem that a guide from a company arrives even though a job change is not desired, or a travel plan arrives even though the user is not traveling.

Therefore, in the present invention, a plurality of item information is classified into public information and non-public information according to the input from the member corresponding to the personal information, and the main processing unit discloses only the public information to the network. As a result, it is possible to prevent the non-disclosed information from being disclosed, and to protect privacy.

In order to divide each item of personal information into public information and non-public information, a member connects to the main processing unit from a terminal and divides each item information of his own personal information into public information and non-public information in advance. It is good. For example, if you change jobs, your name, address,
If item information such as a telephone number, resume, special skill, and specialty field is set as public information, the main processing device outputs the public information to a Web site in a field related to job change based on an instruction from a member. Therefore, a plurality of companies can know the public information and the recruitment guidelines and company information are sent, so that it is easy to change jobs.

If a trip is planned, the name,
If item information such as an e-mail address, a travel destination, and a budget is set as public information, the main processing device outputs the public information to a website related to travel based on an instruction from a member. Therefore, a plurality of travel companies, people who have already traveled to the destination, and the like can know the public information, and can receive proposals from the travel company, information on destinations, and the like.

It is also preferable that the non-public information is classified into information that is further made public by input from a member and information that is not made public. In this way, since a step is provided for disclosing the item information, it is possible to disclose the item information flexibly according to the step.

It is desirable that the output of the public information be authorized by inputting a password or the like determined for each piece of personal information. As a result, the member who wants to publish can refuse to publish to a Web site or the like that he does not want to publish. For example, when the user does not want to travel, it is possible to refuse disclosure to a travel-related Web site, and it is possible to prevent unnecessary information from being sent.

The individual information has a plurality of genre information.
The main processing device can also set the public information and the non-public information according to the genre information. For example, if each item information is registered separately as travel genre, music appreciation genre, etc. as public information, the main processing apparatus searches for the registration,
The information of the website related to the travel is output to the terminal of the member belonging to the travel genre, and the information of the website related to the concert is output to the terminal of the member belonging to the music appreciation genre. Therefore, a member who discloses the public information can obtain various information without any trouble.

Further, the public information has a plurality of genre information, and it is preferable that the main processing unit classifies the public information of the plurality of personal information for each genre information and makes it public to the network. In this way, for example, on a Web site related to travel, all the public information belonging to the travel genre can be obtained at that time, so that the travel company can send many materials at once and save labor. Such selling of personal information has an advantage that it is not necessary to newly write own information by using own profile information written for exchanging business cards.

By the way, when a lot of personal information is stored in the main processing unit, there is a case where it is necessary to select necessary personal information from the stored personal information and make it into a database. Therefore, according to the present invention, the main processing device, upon request from the billing terminal,
The selected personal information selected from the plurality of personal information is output to the billing terminal.

For example, when the personal information of all the employees of one company is stored, the personal information of all the employees is selected by the request from the request terminal of one of the employees, and the address and the name are selected from the selected personal information. If the item information such as the telephone number is output to the billing terminal, an address book of all employees is created on the billing terminal. Therefore, the trouble of creating the address book is omitted, and the labor is reduced. Since the data is electronic data, it can be easily updated or deleted.

It is preferable that the item information of the selected individual information output includes at least one of a telephone number and an e-mail address. Thereby, the billing terminal can easily communicate with a terminal having a connection ID corresponding to at least one piece of personal information selected from the selected piece of personal information. For example, if the billing terminal is a portable telephone, displaying a telephone number of any personal information from a plurality of pieces of inputted personal information is convenient because the telephone number can be immediately called.

The above invention can be implemented by using a main processing device which stores a plurality of pieces of personal information having only an address, a name, and a telephone number as item information, for example. It is further desirable to use the personal information according to the invention described in at least one selected from claims 39 and 48. Thereby, the application range of the stored personal information is further expanded. Also, there is no need to input and output personal information again, which is extremely convenient. However, in this case, in order to prevent the non-disclosed information in the personal information from leaking or illegal use of the personal information by a third party, a security means such as the control password described above is indispensable.

The use of such personal information has the effect that there is no need to newly create an address book by using the personal information of the business card exchange partner as it is.

If a large amount of personal information is stored in the main processing unit, it may be desirable to print and use the personal information. Therefore, according to the present invention, selected personal information selected from a plurality of personal information is printed by a printing device connected to at least one of the main processing device and the terminal in response to a request from the request terminal. As a result, the personal information becomes paper information,
A lot of information can be transmitted to a third party who is not registered in the main processing device.

For example, among personal information, item information such as a name, a work place, a department, a work telephone number, etc. is made public information,
If the workplace retrieves and prints the same personal information, business cards of all the members belonging to the same workplace can be easily prepared. In this case, if the information exchange method of the present invention described above is used, the personal information of all employees can be easily changed when the company name is changed, and the business card after the change can be easily produced. It is also easy to write New Year's cards and summer greetings.

The above-mentioned invention can be implemented by using a main processing device which stores a plurality of pieces of personal information having only an address, a name, and a telephone number as item information, for example. It is further desirable to use the personal information according to the invention as set forth in at least one of claims 31 and 40. Thereby, the application range of the stored personal information is further expanded. Also, there is no need to input and output personal information again, which is extremely convenient. However, also in this case, a security measure such as the above-mentioned control password is indispensable in order to prevent the non-disclosed information in the personal information from leaking or unauthorized use of the personal information by a third party. The printing of such personal information has the advantage that it is not necessary to newly create an address book for printing by directly using the personal information of the business card exchange partner.

Information that is the information of.

(Embodiment 1) First, the processing performed by the information exchange unit 5 will be described. The information exchange section 5 is provided with a selection section 50 as shown in FIG. First, in step 51, the input ID and the common license information are input to the transmitting / receiving unit 1 from a plurality of user terminal devices (b) or mobile phones (c). The plurality of input IDs that have been input are compared with the registered ID (connection ID) stored in the storage unit 8 by the ID comparison unit 2 in step 52.

Then, in the selecting section 50, in step 53, the common license information is read for the terminal whose input ID matches the registered ID, and in step 54, a plurality of terminals having input the same common license information are selected as the selected terminals. . Steps
At 55, the personal information corresponding to the selected terminal is read from the storage unit 8. Then, in step 56, the individual information is output from the transmission / reception unit 1 to the selected terminal having the predetermined registration ID.

The data input section 7 receives the date, time and time data at that time and the location information if the terminal is a portable telephone in parallel with the above processing. Is output to the selected terminal having the registration ID of.

The data input section 7 is a portable telephone,
An input from a mobile communication device such as a PHS in a dedicated mode (i-mode or the like), an input in a commonly used network protocol (TCP / IP or the like), or a predetermined number from a normal or mobile phone (connected to the data input unit 7) In response to a call to the telephone number of the telephone which is in use, the data is converted into data by receiving a voice dial number input.

The above-mentioned business card exchange method in the information exchange section 5 will be specifically described with reference to FIG.

First, it is assumed that three persons A, B, and C each have a portable telephone that can connect to the Internet, and each of them wants to exchange business cards for the first time. At that time, first, in step 500, A, B and C respectively connect to the personal information comprehensive site (d) published on the Internet. Here, the telephone numbers of A, B, and C are IDa, ID, respectively.
b and IDc. At that time, it is assumed that D, which is completely unrelated to A, B and C, has connected to the personal information comprehensive site (d) from another place with a portable telephone, and the telephone number is set to IDd.

In the individual information comprehensive site (d), the ID comparison unit 2
Compares the IDa to IDd with the registration ID registered in the storage unit 8 in step 501, and if the ID is not a registration ID (mismatch)
If there is D, in step 502, the transmitting and receiving unit 1
"Welcome to the business card exchange site!
Please register your personal, company, and shop information at the Internet address site listed in the e-mail to be sent later. Is transmitted. At the same time, it sends an Internet address site for registering information on individuals, companies, and shops and a recommended e-mail that describes contents to be newly registered.

Then, the transmission / reception unit 1 requests the input of the common license information from each of the portable telephones having the ID that matches the registered ID, and A, B, C, and D enter the reciting number decided on the spot in each portable telephone. Personal information comprehensive site from phone (d)
Send to The transmission / reception unit 1 acquires the recite numbers input from A, B, C, and D, respectively, and obtains KYa, KYb, respectively.
, KYc and KYd.

Next, in step 503, the selection unit 50
Select the same one of KYa, KYb, KYc and KYd.
In this case, since A, B, and C have previously entered the same reciting number by consultation, only KYd differs. Therefore, in step 504, the transmitting / receiving unit 1 sends a message to the portable telephone of D having the telephone number of IDd to the effect that "there is no exchange partner or the number is incorrectly pressed." Temporarily ID
If d is of a type that does not have an Internet connection, the message can be announced as real audio.

Then, the selection unit 50 determines in step 505 that IDa,
From the item information of the individual information stored in the storage unit 8 corresponding to IDb and IDc, from the name, work place, business contents, department, position at work place, work address and work telephone number, In step 506, the transmitting / receiving unit 1 transmits only Jb to the mobile phone having the telephone number of IDa, transmits only Ja to the mobile phone having the telephone number of IDb, and transmits only Ja to the mobile phone having the telephone number of IDb. For mobile phones with phone numbers
Send Ja and Jb.

Since the personal information Jc is currently in the provisionally registered state and has no personal information data, the storage unit 8 stores the personal information Jc when registration of the personal information is completed according to the recommended e-mail later, and IDa and IDa are stored. When a request to display the contents of Jc is made from the mobile phone having the telephone number of IDb, the transmitting / receiving unit 1
Send Jc to the mobile phone with the phone numbers a and IDb. Of course, upon completion of the registration of the individual information Jc, in response to a request to display the contents of Ja and Jb from the mobile phone of IDc, the transmission / reception unit 1 transmits Ja and Jc to the mobile phone of IDc.

Although not shown in the figure, the input of the personal identification number KYd2 is accepted again from the portable telephone having the telephone number of IDd, and when the KYd2 coincides with KYa, KYb and KYc,
Ja and Jb are sent to the mobile phone with the phone number of IDd, and J
The personal information of c is also transmitted at the end of registration.

At the same time, the data input unit 7 obtains the date and time at that time, and the transmitting and receiving unit 1 outputs the date and time to each mobile phone.

Thus, between a plurality of mobile phones,
Since the date and time information is also input together with the business card information, the time information at which the business card exchange was performed can be viewed at any time.

(Embodiment 2) A case in which the department belonging to B is changed and the business card information is updated will be described with reference to FIG.

In step 507, B accesses the personal information comprehensive site from his / her own mobile phone via the Internet (a).
Connect to (d) and select Update from the menu that appears. The ID comparison unit 2 compares the IDb with the registered ID registered in the storage unit 8 in step 508. In this case, since the input ID IDb matches the registered ID,
At 509, the transmission / reception unit 1 displays the personal information Jb on the B mobile phone in an updatable manner. Then, in step 510, B
Operates the mobile phone to change the changed item information and sends it to the individual information comprehensive site (d).

In step 511, the information exchange section 5 reads the change, and replaces the changed item information in the individual information stored in the storage section 8 with new item information. Then, the information exchange section 5 searches for the IDb and the registered ID in which the business card exchange has been performed in the past in step 512, and in step 513, the transmission / reception section 1 retrieves the updated item information, for example, the retrieved IDa, IDc. Is transmitted to the mobile telephone having the telephone number of “A”, and Jb stored in the mobile telephones of A and C is rewritten.

As a result, the updated business card information is automatically transmitted to the mobile phone that has exchanged business cards at least once through the present system, so that the latest information can always be held. This is particularly convenient because the trouble of manually inputting information is omitted.

In the above-described embodiment, the password is used as the common license information. However, it is assumed that an irrelevant person may set the same password, and erroneous information may be mixed.

Therefore, it is desirable to further add the number of people who want to exchange business cards, the position information of the place where business cards are exchanged, the time zone in which business cards are exchanged, and the like to the common license information. Then, before the business card exchange, one of the business card exchange participants connects to the personal information comprehensive site (d), and if the common license information is set as such, the business card can be limited to only the mobile phone that matches the common license information. Information can be transmitted, and erroneous information can be reliably prevented from being mixed.

(Embodiment 3) The information exchange section 5 can exchange business cards with an individual whose personal information is not registered in the personal information comprehensive site (d).

That is, as shown in FIG. 6, suppose that three persons A, B, and C each have a mobile phone that can connect to the Internet, and each of them wants to exchange business cards for the first time. At that time, first, in step 514, A, B
And C respectively connect to the personal information comprehensive site (d) published on the Internet, and A, B and C respectively input the recitation numbers as common license information determined on the spot. Here, the telephone numbers of A, B, and C are IDa, ID, respectively.
b and IDc, A and B have already registered personal information in the personal information comprehensive site (d), but C has not been registered. And A
Input 3 which is the number of persons to be exchanged. The transmission / reception unit 1 acquires the recitation numbers input from A, B, and C, respectively, sets them as KYa, KYb, and KYc, and substitutes the number 3 input from A into a variable N.

Then, in step 515, the ID comparison unit 2
IDa to IDc are compared with registered IDs registered in the storage unit 8, and it is detected that IDc is not registered. However, in step 516, the selecting unit 50 sets the recitation numbers KY of A, B and C.
It is detected that a, KYb and KYc are the same, and the number of terminals having the same input recite number is set to n and compared with N previously input to detect that N = n.

Thus, the selection unit 50 recognizes A, B and C as persons who exchange business cards, and in step 517, selects from the item information of the individual information stored in the storage unit 8 corresponding to IDa and IDb. It reads business card information Ja and Jb consisting of name, work place, business contents, department, position at work place, work place address and work place telephone number.

In step 518, the data input unit 7 acquires information T consisting of the current date and time, and
Add IDc and substitute for Jc. Then, in step 519, the transmitting / receiving unit 1 transmits Jb and Jc to the mobile phone having the telephone number of IDa, transmits Ja and Jc to the mobile phone having the telephone number of IDb, and transmits the data to the mobile phone having the telephone number of IDc. Send Ja and Jb.

As a result, the business card information of B, the telephone number of C, and T are input to the mobile phone of A, and the business card information of A, the telephone number of C, and T are input to the mobile phone of B. Business card information of A and B is input to the telephone. Therefore, business cards can be exchanged among the three parties. But C
Is only the time information and the telephone number at which the exchange was performed, and is not sufficient as the business card information.

[0124] Then, C is a personal information comprehensive site
When the personal information is registered by connecting to (d), the information exchange unit 5 reads the change in step 511 as shown in FIG. Replace the changed item information with the new item information. Then, the information exchange unit 5 searches for the IDb and the registered ID in which the business card has been exchanged in the past in step 512, and
In 513, the transmission / reception unit 1 transmits the updated item information to the retrieved mobile phones having the phone numbers of IDa and IDb, for example, and rewrites Jc stored in the mobile phones of A and B.

As a result, business cards can be exchanged among A, B, and C, and even if unregistered persons are included in the personal information comprehensive site (d) as in C, or all are unregistered persons. However, business card exchange can be performed.

(Embodiment 4) Another business card exchange method in the information exchange section 5 will be described below.

In the business card exchange method shown in FIG. 7, a license ID corresponding to each registered ID is stored in the storage unit 8. First, in step 57, a plurality of user terminal devices (b) or mobile phones (c) are transmitted to the transmitting / receiving unit 1.
, An input ID and a permission ID are input. The plurality of input IDs that have been input are compared with the registered IDs stored in the storage unit 8 by the ID comparison unit 2 in step 52.

Then, for the terminal whose input ID and registration ID match, the input permission ID is read, and
In step 58, the personal information corresponding to the license ID is stored in the storage unit 8
Read from. Then, in step 56, the individual information is output from the transmission / reception unit 1 to a terminal having a predetermined registration ID.

In the data input section 7, data of the current date and time and the position information if the terminal is a portable telephone are input in parallel with the above processing, and the data is also transmitted from the transmission / reception section 1 to a predetermined location. Is output to the selected terminal having the connection ID of.

The business card exchange method in the information exchange section 5 will be specifically described with reference to FIG.

First, the personal information of A, B and C is registered in the personal information comprehensive site (d), respectively, and A wants to exchange business cards with B, and C already has acquaintance with A and B and A And B
You want business card information. First, in step 520, each of A, B and C connects to the personal information comprehensive site (d) and inputs and registers a license ID. For example, A license I
D (KIDa) is 000, B's license ID (KIDb) is 111,
It is assumed that the permission ID (KIDc) of C is 222.

Next, A, B, and C connect to the personal information comprehensive site (d), respectively.
(KIDb) 111 is input, and B receives A's license ID (KI
Da), 000, and C is the license ID of A and B (KI
Da, KIDb) of 000 and 111 are input.

In the individual information comprehensive site (d), the ID comparison unit 2
Are the input IDs of A, B and C at step 522, IDa,
The IDb and IDc are compared with the registered IDs registered in the storage unit 8, and if there is an ID that is not a registered ID (mismatch), the transmitting / receiving unit 1 sends the terminal having the ID to the personal information general site (d). Sends a message stating that access is not possible. Here, IDa to IDc all match the registered ID.

Then, the transmitting / receiving unit 1 determines in step 523 that A,
Read the license IDs input from B and C, respectively,
The registration ID corresponding to each is detected, and the business card information Ja and Jb corresponding to the registration ID are read.

Then, the transmitting / receiving unit 1 determines in step 524 that IDa
Sends Jb to the terminal of IDb, sends Ja to the terminal of IDb, and sends Ja and Jb to the terminal of IDc.

At the same time, the data input unit 7 obtains the date and time at that time, and the transmitting and receiving unit 1 outputs the date and time to each portable telephone.

Thus, the business card information of B is input to the terminal of A, and the business card information of A is input to the terminal of B.
And B can exchange business cards. The business card information of A and B is input to the terminal of C. In addition, since information on the date and time is input to each terminal along with the business card information, the time information at which the business card exchange was performed can be viewed at any time.

Therefore, A, B and C are the license IDs in advance.
Knowing that, you can exchange business cards at any time and without having to meet in person.

In the case of the above example, the information exchange unit 5
It is desirable to transmit to the terminals A and B the time information when the business card information is transmitted to the registered ID and C. This allows A and B to know when and to whom their business card information was sent.

(Embodiment 5) Next, the information introducing unit 3 will be described.

The personal information comprehensive site (d) specifies the introduction personal information selected from the personal information based on the input signal from the billing terminal identified and licensed by the personal information comprehensive site (d). Can be output to the designated terminal.

As shown in FIG. 9, when the billing terminal is connected to the personal information comprehensive site (d) in step 20, the ID comparison unit 2 determines in step 21 the input ID and the registration ID stored in the storage unit 8. Compare with And input ID and connection ID
Are matched, a signal corresponding to the individual introduction information is input from the billing terminal according to an instruction from the information introduction unit 3 in step 22. Further, in step 23, the designated terminal is selected from the billing terminals according to the instruction from the information introducing unit 3.

In step 24, the information introducing unit 3 reads the individual introduction information from the input signal,
In step 25, the transmitting / receiving unit 1 outputs the introduction individual information to the designated terminal.

The information introducing method of the present embodiment described above is described in FIG.
This will be specifically described with reference to FIG.

First, the personal information of five persons A, B, C, D and Z is respectively registered in the personal information comprehensive site (d).
Suppose that we want to introduce personal information of Z to C and D.

First, in step 200, the terminal of A is connected to the personal information comprehensive site (d). In step 201, the ID comparison unit 2 compares IDa, which is the input ID of A, with the registration ID registered in the storage unit 8. If the ID is not a registration ID (mismatch), the transmission / reception unit 1 checks whether the terminal having the ID has the ID. Send a message stating that you cannot access. Here, the ID
It is assumed that a matches the registration ID.

Next, when A selects to introduce personal information from the menu displayed on the terminal and selects the personal information of Z, in step 202, the information introducing unit 3 makes the information introducing unit 3 store the Z information stored in the storage unit 8. It is checked whether IDa is present in the license ID database of A. If there is no IDa in the license ID, it is displayed that it cannot be introduced to the mobile phone of A.

In the license ID database, the connection ID of a person who has been introduced by an individual of the special skill group including Z is registered for each individual, and the information introducing unit 3 stores IDa in the license ID that Z has licensed. Search for any.

If there is an IDa (charging terminal) in the permission ID, in step 203 A inputs the registered IDs of B, C and D, IDb, IDc and IDd (designated terminal). Then, the information introducing unit 2 reads the public information Jz from the individual information of Z stored in the storage unit 8 in step 204. Public information
Jz, Z is the name in advance from the item information of his personal information,
Employer, business content, department, position at work, office address, work telephone number, mobile phone number, specialty field,
This is a selection of documents, specialty skills, and face photo image data that certify the field of specialty.
Registered in (d). In step 205, the transmitting / receiving unit 1 transmits the public information Jz to the designated terminals IDb, IDc and IDd.
Output to

As a result, the public information Jz of the personal information of Z is input to the terminals of B, C and D, and B introduces Z to B, C and D.

In step 205, it is preferable that the transmission / reception unit 1 outputs the public information to the designated terminal and also outputs information such as the name of A to the designated terminal. This allows B, C and D to know that Z has been introduced from A. It is also preferable that the transmission / reception unit 1 outputs information such as names of A, B, C, and D to the Z terminal (IDz) separately into a billing terminal and a designated terminal. This allows Z to know who was introduced to whom.

Here, the designated terminal may be all registered members registered in the personal information comprehensive site (d). Also, if the genre belonging to the special skill group or the like to be introduced is registered in advance in the personal information registered by the registered member, the personal information Jz is designated only when the member to be introduced falls under that genre. Can also be output. Further, by designating the designated terminal from the billing terminal as a part of a genre group registered in the personal information comprehensive site (d), the public information can be output to all the terminals of the members belonging to the genre group. At that time, if the genre belonging to the special skill group to be introduced is registered in advance in the personal information registered by the registered member in the same manner as described above, the personal information is only obtained when the member to be introduced falls under that genre. Jz can be output to the designated terminal. In this case, the genre to which the registered member of the designated terminal belongs is included in the personal information registered in advance.

(Embodiment 6) Next, the information selling section 4 will be described.

It is desirable that an individual who wishes to change jobs or travel is made open to the public on a network so that information can be widely collected. Therefore, in the present invention, a plurality of item information is classified into public information and private information by input from a public terminal corresponding to the personal information, and the public information is made public to the network, and the private information is not made public to the network. ing.

That is, the storage unit 8 stores personal information corresponding to a predetermined public terminal, and item information of the personal information is classified into public information and non-public information according to an instruction from the public terminal. Then, in accordance with an instruction from the public terminal, the information selling unit 4 discloses the public information to the network.

The information selling method of the present embodiment is described as follows.
This will be specifically described with reference to FIG.

First, it is assumed that the individual A wants to change jobs and wants to sell his / her ability and experience to a company. A is the name, address, date of birth, gender, home telephone number, home facsimile number, and e-mail address from the item information of one's own personal information stored in the storage unit 8 of the personal information comprehensive site (d). The user selects the field of specialty, documents proving the field of specialty, resume, special skill, and image data of the face photo as public information, and registers the rest as private information in the personal information comprehensive site (d) in advance.
This is a personal information comprehensive site via a terminal
Connect to (d) and follow the menu.
