DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a position information management method according to the present invention and a system for realizing the method will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the text data management method uses a text information database stored by associating predetermined text data created by a person with position data indicating a created position, and connects to the text information database. Step S10, which is a transmission step of transmitting predetermined information to a person who accesses a predetermined site using a predetermined mobile terminal (Step S0), and, when the transmission is made, the location of the mobile terminal is located. Step S20, which is a position detection step of detecting as data,
Step S, which is a text data creation step for prompting the accessor to create desired items in text data
40, and a step S50 of transmitting the created text data to the site (step S46) and storing the text data in the text information database in association with the position data in the text information database.

Here, the text information database is a database in which the text data and the position data are stored in association with each other. Text data is
This indicates a message created by the accessor, for example, a message in which when the user goes to a certain place, he / she sees, hears, or feels the matter.

As such a message, for example,
When the user enters a certain store, the accessor feels about the menu, the price itself, the contents of the service, and the like at the store, and the visitor feels the view seen from a certain place. The position data indicates the place where the accessor created the message, and is detected as described later.

In the registration in the text information database, the accessor creates and inputs text data on a predetermined text data input screen sent from the site to the portable terminal. A transmission button or the like is displayed, and input is performed using this button, and text data generated from the mobile terminal is transmitted to the site.

At this time, position data, which will be described later, is also sent, and the site registers these in association with each other, as described later. At this time, it is preferable to register the creator name data indicating the creator of this message together, or to register the time together as described later. By doing so, the position data is specified, and by using the position data, it is possible to search for text data related to the location indicated by the position data.

Also, by storing creator name data, time, and the like, these data can also be used as search keywords. In step S0, an address connectable to the site, for example, an IP (Internet Protocol) address or the like is transmitted to a person having a predetermined mobile terminal in advance, and the mobile terminal is To access the site.

This site is connected to at least the text information database described above. Step S10
Then, an access person is prompted to input predetermined information and transmitted. As the predetermined information, at least identification data for identifying the accessor when calling the text information database is essential, and further, authentication data for the site to authenticate the accessor is also included. .

The above identification data and authentication data are
A person who desires the service provided by the site accesses the site or contacts the operator of the site to make a predetermined application and is issued. In addition, by using the issued identification data and authentication data in combination, it becomes easy to prohibit inappropriate access to the site from persons who do not have the authentication data.

The site transmits image data indicating a menu screen for inputting the predetermined information to the portable terminal of the accessor, and causes the display screen of the portable terminal to display the image data.
The user is prompted to enter identification data and, if necessary, authentication data. Further, the input predetermined information is transmitted to the site from the mobile terminal that has performed the input operation. This transmission operation may be performed automatically, for example, at the same time when predetermined information is input, or after a predetermined information is input, a predetermined operation button or the like is displayed on a menu screen, and the operation button is pressed. When input is made, predetermined information may be transmitted.

In step S20, when the predetermined information is transmitted in step S10, position data indicating the location of the portable terminal that has transmitted the information is detected. Preferably, based on the position data detected in step S20, as shown in FIG. 2, in step S30, a predetermined district allocation database is searched for district data associated with the position data.

Here, the district allocation database is a database in which the land is divided into predetermined ranges and the divided land is classified by associating them with predetermined names. Specifically, as shown in FIG.
Is a section obtained by dividing a fixed range of land 10 using lines L1 and L2, and data corresponding to the district 11 is used as the district data. The district data indicating the district 11 is, for example, one area in the area of Shibuya.
"Shibu 01" is defined as name data, and the "shibu 01" and the district data indicating the district 11 are stored in the district allocation database in association with each other, for example, as shown in FIG.

As described above, the district allocation database includes the district data indicating the district obtained by dividing the land in a certain range,
A data group consisting of name data indicating this area is configured. In this district allocation database, as shown in FIG. 4, one section of the divided land may be expressed as a section "Shibuya" as a section of a region called Shibuya, or "Shibuya"
May be simply given the name “01” without any relation.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the position data indicating the position with respect to the district includes predetermined coordinates (X, Y).
It is preferable to express the outer edge of this area with.
The “outer edge” indicates, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, when a district is divided into quadrangles, the coordinates of points A, B, C, and D at the four corners. Furthermore, these coordinates may be determined relative to this point with the point as the origin,
It is preferable to display with longitude and latitude.

The detection of the position data in step S20 is performed, specifically, as shown in FIG.
Is monitored by a plurality of base stations 111 that are always present in the vicinity, and when there is a predetermined transmission from the mobile terminal 110, for example, the transmission of the identification data or the like, or the transmission for this position search, this transmission is performed. The detection is performed by detecting the electric field strength according to a plurality of base stations 111. Each base station 11

Also, at the time of message creation, text identification data indicating the title of this message, if necessary, the time at which the message was created, for example, the exact time, roughly expressed time such as about 8 am, When the user wants to use information other than the issued identification data as the creator name data, such as input time data indicating an input time such as a break such as afternoon, the creator name, the creator's e-mail address, homepage address,
Other contact information may be created together.

Specifically, when the accessor has input that he or she wishes to create a message, a predetermined screen for inputting text data is transmitted from the site to the mobile terminal of the accessor. On this screen, an input window for text data, and if necessary, an input window for text identification data, input time data, creator name data, and the like, the accessor is provided in a window corresponding to the input item, Enter each data.

Further, as shown in FIG.
In step S21, before prompting to create text data in the text data creation stage, text data already stored in the text information database and associated with the detected position data is searched and extracted (step S21). It is preferable to send the extracted text data to the portable terminal of the accessor (step S22).

In step S21, using the district data extracted in step S30 as position data as a search keyword in the text information database, text data associated with the position data is searched and extracted. In step S22, the extracted text data is transmitted from the site to the mobile terminal of the accessor and displayed on the mobile terminal.

In step S40, the displayed text data accumulated in the past is read, and the text data is created as described above while referring to the message creation. In step S46, step S40
The text data created in, and if necessary, text identification data, input time data, creator name data, creator's e-mail address, self-made homepage address, other contact information, etc. (hereinafter referred to as "text data etc." .) From the mobile device to the site.

Specifically, a button such as a send button is input when the input is completed on a predetermined screen for inputting the text data or the like. In step S50, the position data detected in step S20, preferably the district data searched in step S30 and the text data created in step S40 are associated with each other and stored in the text information database.

Specifically, in the text information database, for example, text data specified by text identification data of “AAA”, “BBB”, and “CCC” is “Shift 0
In the section specified by the district data of "1", when created by the creation operation of step S40 and subsequently transmitted from the portable terminal, for example, as shown in FIG. Identification data (in the figure, simply referred to as “identification data”) “AAA”, “BBB”, “CC”
