Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an information exchange method and an information exchange apparatus in which persons having information of the same keyword can exchange information so that the information can be effectively used.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art At present, information held by an information holder is registered in a database or the like, while an information searcher accesses the database and obtains the corresponding information to obtain the information held by the information holder. There is known an information registration / retrieval system that enables effective use of information.

In this system, an information holder registers information to be registered and a keyword of this information in a database, and an information searcher hits and searches for information by inputting a keyword of the information. Can be.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional information registration / search system, it is meaningful that the information search side can effectively use the information by searching and referring to the information. This is a mechanism that only uses the registered related information without providing the related information owned by the side, so that it is not a good idea for the information holder to simply disclose the information unilaterally. In particular, the information disclosed by oneself is also information desired by oneself, and there are many cases where the user wants to provide information that the other party also knows. Therefore, there is a problem that the more effective information is difficult to be registered.

[0005] In view of the above circumstances, the present invention provides a place for information exchange in which persons who provide information of the same keyword can know the existence of information without teaching the existence of information, and information registered with the same keyword is provided. It is an object of the present invention to provide an information exchange method and an information exchange device which enable each other to be effectively used.

[0006]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, an information holder includes information to be registered at the time of information registration, and information additional information to the information holder side information. The keyword of the information to be registered is registered in the database, and at the time of information registration, the registered information of the database is searched by the keyword. When the search is applicable, the information holder registered with the same keyword is searched. It is characterized by the fact that notification is made.

The invention according to claim 2 is a search means for searching whether or not the keyword of the information provided by the information holder who newly registers the information matches the keyword of the information already registered in the database; As a result of the search, if the provided keyword matches the registered keyword, a notification means for notifying both information holders that there is a person holding the same or similar information exists. It is characterized by having.

[0008] According to the above configuration, in order to promote information registration, a system in which persons having valid information can exchange information possessed after confirming that they have the information with each other is provided on the system. Can be built with

[0009]

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment to which an information exchange method and apparatus according to the present invention are applied.

[0010] As shown in FIG.
Are provided in a central processing center 2, which is connected to a network 3. A plurality of terminal devices 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,...
Is connected. Among them, the terminal device 4 is located at the head office, the terminal device 5 is located at the branch A, the terminal device 6 is located at the branch B, and the terminal device 7 is located at the branch B.
Is provided at the branch C, and the terminal device 8 is provided at the branch D. The relationship between headquarters and branch offices is the same as the relationship between headquarters and branch offices, or headquarters and branch offices.

The information exchange apparatus 1 includes a processing unit 1A and a database 1B. The information to be registered by the information holder via one of the terminal devices 4 to 8 and the registered information as additional information. When the information retrieval keyword and the information holder side information are supplied, the information is registered in the database 1B.

When the registration information and the additional information are supplied together with the registration command from the terminal devices 4 to 8, the processing unit 1A of the information exchange device 1 fetches the registration information and the additional information and registers them in the database 1B. The database 1B is searched by the registered keyword, and if the information matching the keyword is already registered (relevant to the search), the terminal device of the newly registered person and the terminal device of the already registered person are searched. A process of sending a search corresponding notification to both is executed.

When each of the terminal devices 4 to 8 functions as a terminal device on the information holder side, the registration target information held by itself and additional information for this information are exchanged via the network 3 by the information exchange device. 1 to database 1B
Register with.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the configuration of a form displayed on the screens of the terminal devices 4 to 8. As shown in FIG. 2, in this form, a search keyword and additional information including a notification destination, a telephone number, an affiliation, and the like are input as additional information together with information to be registered. The input registration target information and additional information such as keywords are stored in the network 3
Is registered in the database 1B.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described systematically with reference to FIG.

Now, it is assumed that the terminal device 5 of the branch A shown in FIG. 1 is a terminal device for newly registering the information A, and the terminal device 6 of the branch B is a terminal device of the holder of the already registered information B. I do.

At the time of information registration, a form image as shown in FIG. 2 is displayed on the terminal screen. From this screen, together with the information A to be registered, a keyword as additional information to the information A, a notification destination as holding side information, Enter the phone number and affiliation.

All the input information is sent to the information providing device 1 of the central processing center 2 via the network 3. Then, in the information providing apparatus 1, the registration information A is registered in the database 1B together with the additional information under the control of the processing unit 1A (step S1).

On the other hand, at the same time as the registration, the processing section 1A executes a search using the keyword (step S2). As a result, when the information B registered in the database 1B becomes a search corresponding information of the same keyword, the information A is notified.
Is notified to both the terminal device 5 on the side of the holder of the information B and the terminal device 6 that is the holder of the information B (step S3).

As described above, according to this embodiment, the information holders of both the information A and the information B can know the information holders having the same keyword by the search corresponding notification. It is possible to construct a state where information can be exchanged. As a result, it is possible to construct a mechanism that does not provide information about registered information until related information is registered, and it is possible to exchange information only when a partner with related information appears Becomes

[0021]

As described above, according to the present invention, a system in which persons having valid information can exchange information possessed after confirming that they have information with each other is provided on the system. It is possible to build.
