For this reason, the business card information to be disclosed can be changed according to the browsing applicant.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a business card management system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a schematic system configuration of the present system. As shown in FIG. 1, the system includes user terminals 100A, 100B,.
00 and a partner site 300. These are connected via the Internet so that they can perform data communication with each other.

The user terminal 200 is a personal computer and includes communication means such as a modem, input means such as a keyboard and a mouse, a storage device such as a hard disk device, and an image display device such as a CRT display or a liquid crystal display. I have.

[0010] A predetermined operating system and browser software are installed in the hard disk drive, and homepages provided by various sites such as a business card management site 200 and a partner site 300 are browsed via the Internet. I can do it. In addition, a mailer is installed in the hard disk device so that electronic mail can be sent and received.

The business card management site 200 is located on the Web server 2
10, authentication server 220, and database server 2
30. The Web server 210 includes a mainframe having a central processing unit (CPU), a general-purpose computer or a personal computer, and a hard disk device.

The hard disk device includes a predetermined operating system, a server program, and an AP.
Various scripts (such as oc.php) according to the I (Application Program Interface) specification are installed. FIG. 5 shows an example of the API specification. In addition, a session management table 211 is stored in this hard disk device. This table 211 corresponds to the session management means of the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the session management table 211. The session management table 211 stores the script oc from the user terminal 100A.
Generated when there is an access to generate a session by specifying a URL specifying s.php + an email address as an argument, and a user (user terminal 100A ...)
It is managed for each.

The "state" column in the figure shows how the state changes over time after the session has occurred. The “script” column indicates a script that is started according to each state. For example, the script activated according to “state 1” is ocs.php, and the script activated according to “state 4” is usrloginout.php. The “script argument” column indicates data that is treated as a script argument according to each state.

The “session identification information (ses_id)” field includes
This is a unique number given to a session from the specific user terminal 100A. "Cookies (ses_
The "cookie)" column is a unique character string issued by the Web server 210 for each user terminal 100A where a session has occurred.

The “authentication determination flag (ses_ok)” field is a flag to which “1” is set when the authentication is completed by the authentication server 220. “Session user identification information (ses_usr_id)” is identification information for identifying a user in a session, and uses the same data as user identification information (msh_user_id) in a business card table 230 for public access to be described later.

The “environment variable (ses_feature)” is S
There are two, YS_Nexturl and SND_send_email. SYS_Ne
xturl stores environment variables corresponding to the page displayed when login is successful.

For example, environment variables (/ appl / meishi / mshexchang) corresponding to the input screen (page) of the ID and the PWD.
e.php) is stored. SND_send_email stores the e-mail address as an argument when there is an access from the user terminal 100A... To specify a URL specifying the script ocs.php + an e-mail address as an argument to generate a session. It has become so. Note that examples of other environment variables are shown in FIG.

As described above, the session management table 21
1 is essentially “session identification information (ses_id)”
Field, “cookie (ses_cookie)” field, “authentication determination flag (ses_ok)” field, “session user identification information (ses_us
r_id) column and an "environment variable (ses_feature)" column (portion in a thick line frame in FIG. 2).

Each state in FIG. 2 will be described. The processing of “state 2” and “state 3” is realized by executing the script ocs.php. The processing from “state 4” to “state 9” is realized by executing the script useloginout.php. The processing of “state 10” is realized by executing the script “mshexchange.php”. These scripts are all stored in the hard disk device of the Web server 210.

"State 1": The Web server 210 accesses the Web server 210 from the user terminal 100A to the Web server 210 by specifying a URL specifying the script ocs.php and an e-mail address as an argument to generate a session. Accept.

"State 2": The Web server 210 starts the script ocs.php specified by the access. When this script is started, session identification information (ses_id) and a cookie (ses_cookie) are generated and transmitted to the access-source user terminals 100A... And registered in the session management table 211. You. Also, add / appl / meish to the environment variable SYS_Nexturl
i / mshexchange.php is set and environment variable SND_send_em
The electronic mail address as an argument acquired from the user terminal 100A is set in ail.

"State 3"; script usrloginout.php
Start

"State 4"; a user who accesses by specifying a URL specifying the script ocs.php + an e-mail address as an argument (user terminal 100A ...)
Determines whether authentication has already been established. FIG.
FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining an example of a screen displayed according to the result of the authentication. The determination as to whether or not the authentication is successful is made based on the value of the authentication determination flag (ses_ok).

Since the authentication determination flag (ses_ok) corresponding to “state 4” in FIG. 2 is “0”, it is determined that authentication has not been established. Therefore, in this case, the state transits to “state 5”.

"State 5": Input screen 1 for ID and PWD
03 is displayed in the user terminal 100A.
, And is distributed to the user terminal 100A.
Displays the input screen 103 as shown on the right side of FIG.

"State 6": Via the input screen 103,
When the user ID and the password are input, the state transits to “state 7”.

"State 7": Authentication by the authentication server 220 described later is performed.

"State 8": When the authentication by the authentication server 220 is established, "1" is set in the authentication determination flag (ses_ok).
Is set. Therefore, the Web server 210 again executes the script from the user terminal 100A.
When the access that specifies the URL that specifies ocs.php + the e-mail address as an argument is received (state 1), the authentication determination flag (ses_ok) is set to “1”. It is determined (state 4). Therefore, in this case, the state transits to “state 9”.

If the session identification information (ses_id) and the cookie (ses_cookie) have already been transmitted to the access source user terminals 100A.
The access source user terminal 100A ...
When accessing the web server 210, the session identification information (ses_id) and the cookie (ses_cookie)
b server 210. Therefore, it is possible to maintain the same session.

"State 9": A script mshexchange.php specified by the environment variable SYS_Nexturl is started.

"State 10": This script mshexchang
By launching e.php, email address input field 10
Message input screen 104 in which the e-mail address stored in environment variable SND_send_email has been input in 4b
are generated and distributed to the user terminals 100A. User terminal 100
A display the message input screen 104 as shown in the lower part of FIG.

As described above, a user who has established a session can have an environment variable for each session regardless of whether the user has logged in or logged out. Therefore, once a session occurs and authentication is established (when the authentication determination flag (ses_ok) is set to 1), as long as the session continues, the authentication process is not performed again ( That is, the message input screen 104 can be displayed directly (without displaying the ID and PWD input screen 103) (display of the message input screen 104 by one click). By using an arbitrary value as an environment variable, not only the message input screen 104 but also various screens (pages) can be displayed.

The authentication server 220 has a central processing unit (CP
U), a mainframe, a general-purpose computer or a personal computer, and a hard disk device. A predetermined operating system, a server program, and an authentication program are installed in the hard disk device.

The database server 230 comprises a mainframe having a central processing unit (CPU), a general-purpose computer or a personal computer, and a hard disk device. A predetermined operating system, a server program, and a database management program are installed in the hard disk device. In addition, a business card table for public use 231 is registered in the hard disk device.

FIGS. 6 and 7 are diagrams for explaining a business card table for public access (pubmeishi_table) 231. FIG. The public business card table 231 is provided for each user. The table 231 in FIG. 6 shows a table of “Hanako Sosio” that has already been registered as a user of the business card management system. A table 231 in FIG. 7 shows a table of “Taro Sosio” that has already been registered as a user of the business card management system.

The table 231 mainly includes user identification information (msh_id), a hash value (pbm_hash), a business card determination flag for public use (pbm_use), and a link determination flag (pbm_use_o).
nclick), expiration date start date (pbm_startdate), expiration date start date (pbm_startdate), business card identification information (msh_i
d), multiple public information (user name (msh_dname_nls)
~ Msh_creator) and a public / private judgment flag (pbm
_pub_msh_i01ok to pbm_pub_msh_i30ok) are registered.

The user identification information (user_id) is a unique number assigned to each user. “100” is assigned to “Hanako Sosio”, and “200” is assigned to “Taro Sosio”. I have. This user_id is used to identify each user inside the management site 200. A hash value (pbm_hash: signature key) is a value hashed based on business card data (public information) copied as a seed using a certain version (pbm_hash_version) of a certain hash algorithm (pbm_hash_algorythm). is there.

The public business card determination flag (pbm_use)
It is used to determine whether a business card for public use can be used. Link judgment flag (pbm_use_onclick)
Is used to determine whether to put a one-click business card exchange link on a business card for public use.

The expiration date start date (pbm_startdate) and the expiration date end date (pbm_enddate) are dates for determining the expiration date of business card browsing. Business card identification information (ms
h_id) is a unique number given to a set of public information. "Soshio Hanako", referring to FIG.
It has a set of public information (msh_dname_nls to msh_creator) associated with the business card identification information (msh_id) “2001”. Referring to FIG. 7, “Taro Sosio” is a set of public information (msh_dname_nls to msh_c) associated with business card identification information (msh_id) “1001”.
reator).

A plurality of public information (msh_dname_nls to msh_c
reator) is business card information relating to the user (information relating to the user registered in advance so as to be browsed in the form of a business card)
, Name (msh_dname_nls), email address,
Mobile phone number, qualification, company name, department 1, department 2, department 3, post, position, postal code, address,
TEL1, TEL1 extension, TEL2, TEL2 extension, F
AX, URL, file name of upper body photo image, file name of map image to company (or home), etc. The plurality of disclosure information corresponds to the plurality of item information of the present invention, and constitutes business card information.

The disclosure or non-disclosure of these individual information for public use is determined using public / non-public determination flags (pbm_pub_msh_i01ok to pbm_pub_msh_i30ok) corresponding to the individual information for public use. The disclosure / non-disclosure determination flag corresponds to identification information for identifying part of the item information constituting the business card information of the present invention.

For example, since “y” is registered in the public / non-public determination flag (pbm_pub_msh_i01ok) corresponding to the name (msh_dname_nls) in the table 231 of Sosio Hanako shown in FIG. 6, the name (msh_dname_nls) is registered. Is determined to be public. The same applies to the public / non-public determination flag (pbm_pub_msh_i02ok) corresponding to the email address. On the other hand, a public / private determination flag (pbm_pu) corresponding to a mobile phone number or the like (omitted in the figure)
Since “n” is registered in b_msh_i03ok to pbm_pub_msh_i30ok), it is determined that all mobile phone numbers and the like (keitai_no) are not disclosed.

As described above, the disclosure / non-disclosure determination flag (pbm_
By referring to pub_msh_i01ok to pbm_pub_msh_i30ok, individual publication information (msh_dname_nls to msh_creat)
or) is disclosed or unpublished.
The individual public information described above is input via the Internet from the user terminals 100A ... logged in to the business card management site 200, and the general public business card table 23
1 is registered.

FIG. 8 is a display example of a setting screen for a business card for public use, which is displayed on the user terminal 100A ... side.
Through this setting screen, the public business card determination flag (pbm
_use), link determination flag (pbm_use_onclick), expiration date start date (pbm_startdate), expiration date end date (pbm_en
ddate) and a public / non-public judgment flag (pbm_pub_msh_
i01ok to pbm_pub_msh_i30ok) can be set or changed.

This setting screen is displayed in HTML (Hyper Text Mar
kup Language) and the Web server 210
Terminal 1 that has logged into business card management system 200
00A... At the time of login, the user inputs his / her own e-mail address. Therefore, the Web server 210 sets the general public business card table 2 corresponding to the input e-mail address.
31 is searched, and an HTML file for displaying a setting screen of a business card for public use is generated and distributed based on the search data.

In the “Your signature” column in the upper part of FIG.
“Http: socioware.com/p.php? Pbm_id = 15 & hash” + the hash value (pbm_hash: signature key) in the public business card table (pubmeishi_table) 231 is displayed. This character string indicates the URL of the signature public business card, and after copying this character string, is converted to any analog (letter, paper business card, telephone, etc.) or digital means (via the Internet, LAN, IRDA) ), The person can view the business card for signature publication specified by the URL.

Whether or not a business card for signature publication can be viewed is determined by the value of pbm_usage. If the value indicates that the business card for signature disclosure is viewable, the public information having the disclosure setting (setting of the flag “y”) obtained from the business card disclosure table 231 is edited and edited into a business card form. An HTML file for displaying a signature disclosure business card screen is generated and distributed.

For example, for an e-mail address of “Soshio Jiro” who is not registered as a user of the business card management system, “http: socioware.com/p.php? Pbm_id = 15 & h
ash ”+ Hanako Sosio's public business card table (pubmeishi_t
Suppose that an e-mail describing the hash value (pbm_hash: signature key) in the “able” 231 is transmitted. FIG. 17 and FIG.
FIG. 8 shows an example of an e-mail transmitted in this manner.

Jiro Sosio has his own user terminal 100C
Start up the browser software with `` http: socioware.com/p.php? Pbm_id = 15
& hash ”+ Hanako Sosio's public business card table (pubmeishi
_table) 231 in hash value (pbm_hash: signature key)
By inputting as a URL, you can view the business card for signature publicity of Hanako Sosio.

Note that if the public business card determination flag (pbm_use) in the public business card table 231 for Hanashi Sosio is set to "n", the public business card for Hanashi Sosio's signature cannot be viewed. In addition, only the public information (msh_dname_nls to msh_cre
ator), the public / private determination flag (pbm_pub_msh_i01ok to pbm_pub_msh_i30ok) is set to “y” by Hanako Sosio
Only items that have been set.

In FIG. 8, the "item" column on the left side of the setting screen of the general public business card is an item of public information, and the central check box column corresponds to individual public information. When the check box is checked with a mouse or the like and the “Save” button displayed at the bottom of the setting screen is designated (clicked) with the mouse, the check in the public business card table (pubmeishi_table) 231 is input. Flags (pbm_pub_msh_i01ok-p
“y” is set (registered) in bm_pub_msh_i30ok), while “n” is set (registered) in the flags (pbm_pub_msh_i01ok to pbm_pub_msh_i30ok) corresponding to the unpublished information that has not been checked. .

The Web server 210 and the authentication server 2
20 and the database server 230 have been described as being configured with individual computers and hard disk devices as described above, but may be configured with a single computer and hard disk device.

The partner site 300 is the Web server 31
0 and a database server 320. The Web server 310 is a central processing unit (CP
U), a mainframe, a general-purpose computer or a personal computer, and a hard disk device. A predetermined operating system, a server program, and a database management program are installed in the hard disk device.
The database server 320 includes a mainframe having a central processing unit (CPU), a general-purpose computer or a personal computer, and a hard disk device.

A predetermined operating system and a server program are installed in the hard disk device. Further, the hard disk device stores a database of profile information of a plurality of companies. Profile information includes at least one email address and name (full-width kana kanji,
Katakana, romaji), company name (katakana),
Address, contact information, business type, business content, company PR, and the like are registered.

The Web server 310 has, on its hard disk device, an HTML file for displaying a search screen for inputting search conditions for company profile information, and an HTML file for displaying a company profile screen as a search result. Is generated.

FIG. 9 shows a display example of a company profile screen as a search result. At a predetermined position on the company profile screen, a URL of the business card management site 200 + an e-mail address as an argument (for example, https: //www.soci
oware.com/p.php?eml=hanako@abc.com) is displayed as the icon 101a. As the area, characters (name, address, etc.) may be simply displayed, an image such as a personal photograph or a portrait may be displayed, or a combination thereof may be displayed.

Although the Web server 310 and the database server 320 have been described as being composed of individual computers and hard disk devices as described above, they may be composed of a single computer and hard disk device. .

The operation of the business card management system will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the business card management system.

In the following description, Hanako Sosio has registered the business card table 231 for public use of Hanako Sosio shown in FIG. 6 as a user of the business card management system. As a user of the business card management system, Taro Sosio has registered a business card table 231 for public access to Tsoshio shown in FIG. Also, it is assumed that Jiro Sosio has not been registered as a user of the business card management system.

When Taro Sosio (or Jiro Sosio) inputs the URL of the partner site 300 into his / her user terminal 100A (or C) via input means, the partner site 3
The 00 Web server 310 distributes an HTML file that displays a company profile search condition input screen to the user terminal 100A (or C) of the URL input source. The user terminal 100A (or C) receives the distributed H
The TML file is analyzed by the browser software to display a search condition input screen.

When search conditions (such as a company name) are input via this input screen, the Web server 310 of the partner site 300 searches for company profile information corresponding to the input search conditions, and searches for business card information. Of the management site 200
A company profile screen in which an icon 101a in which a URL + e-mail address as an argument is linked (here, an e-mail address of Hanako@abc.com of Sosio Hanako is linked as an argument) is arranged at a predetermined position is displayed. An HTML file to be displayed is generated and distributed to the user terminal 100A (or C).

The user terminal 100A (or C) analyzes the distributed HTML file by using browser software, and displays the company profile screen 101.
FIG. 9 shows an example of the company profile screen. When an icon 101a on the screen is instructed (clicked) with a mouse, the URL of the business card management site 200 linked to the icon 101a is accessed, and the icon 1a is clicked.
The electronic mail address of Hanako Sosio as an argument set to 01 is delivered to the Web server 210.

Web server 21 of business card management site 200
When 0 obtains the e-mail address of Hanako Sosio as an argument, a predetermined script (or API) is activated and the public business card table 231 corresponding to the e-mail address is searched. As a result of the search, if the public business card table 231 corresponding to the e-mail address of Sosio Hanako is retrieved, the public information with the public setting (setting of the flag “y”) is obtained from the table 231.
In the present embodiment, the name and e-mail address of Hanako Sosio are acquired (read) as public information for which public setting (setting of the flag “y”) has been made.
Will be.

The web server 210 edits the public information (public name and e-mail address of Hanako Sosio) read from the public business card table 231 of Hanako Sosio in the form of a business card. Generates an HTML file for displaying a simple business card screen,
00A (or C). User terminal 100A
(Or C) analyzes the distributed HTML file and displays the simple business card screen 102.

FIG. 11 shows a display example of a simple business card screen. As described above, the simple business card screen at this stage does not display all the public information registered in the general public business card table 231 of Hanako Sosio, but sets the public setting (setting of the flag “y”). Only those that have been displayed are displayed. The viewer of the simple business card screen 102 (in this case, Taro Sosio or Jiro Sosio) views the simple business card screen 102 and determines whether to exchange business cards with Hanako Sosio. Screen 102
Is instructed (clicked) with the mouse on the business card exchange button 102a displayed on the same screen.

When the business card exchange button 102a is instructed (clicked) with a mouse, the Web server 2 specifies the URL of the script ocs.php linked to the button and the e-mail address of Hanako Sosio as an argument.
10 (state 1 in FIG. 2). The Web server 210 starts the specified script ocs.php when the access is made, and temporarily stores the electronic mail address of Hanako Sosio as an argument in an environment variable SND_send_email.

When this script ocs.php is started,
Session identification information (ses_id) and cookie (ses_
cookie) is generated and the access source user terminal 100
It is transmitted to A (or C) and registered in the session management table 211. (State 2 in FIG. 2).

The user terminal 100A (or C)
Stores the session identification information (ses_id) and the cookie (ses_cookie) in a storage area of its own hard disk device or the like, and thereafter, when accessing the server 210, the stored session identification information (ses_i).
d) and the cookie (ses_cookie) to the Web server 2
10 is transmitted. Therefore,
It is possible to keep the session identical.

The above access is determined by the authentication judgment flag (ses_o).
If k) = 0 (a state in which no session has occurred), since the authentication has not yet been performed, the ID and PWD for logging in to the business card management site 200 from the business card management site 200 are input. An HTML file displaying the screen 103 is delivered to the user terminal 100A (or C) (state 5 in FIG. 2).

The user terminal 100A (or C) analyzes the distributed HTML file and displays an ID and PWD input screen 103. When an ID and a PWD are input through the input screen 103 and the transmission button 103a in the screen is designated (clicked) with a mouse, the authentication server 220 of the business card management site 200 executes an authentication program to perform authentication. (State 7 in FIG. 2).

Since Jiro Sosio is not a user of the business card management system, subsequent processing cannot be performed. on the other hand,
Since Taro Sosio is a user of the business card management system, authentication is established (state 8 in FIG. 2), and subsequent processing can be performed. In the following description, an example of Taro Sosio who is a user of the business card management system will be described.

When the authentication is established, the Web server 210
Generates an HTML file that displays the message input screen 104 for the person (in this case, Hanako Sosio) holding the business card displayed on the simple business card screen 102. As an HTML file for displaying this message input screen,
"Email address of partner" input field 104b on the same screen
Is generated with the electronic mail address of Hanako Sosio temporarily stored in the environment variable SND_send_email.

The Web server 210 stores the generated HTM
The L file is delivered to the user terminal 100A. The user terminal 100A analyzes the distributed HTML file and displays a message input screen 104. FIG.
Shows a display example of the message input screen.

On the other hand, if the above access is made with the authentication determination flag (ses_ok) = 1 (a state in which a session is occurring), the user has already been authenticated, and the ID and PWD are input again. In this case, the message input screen 104 is displayed without displaying the ID and PWD input screen 103 (state 10 in FIG. 2).

When a message is input via message input screen 104 and transmission button 104a displayed on the same screen as input screen 104 is instructed (clicked) by a mouse, Web server 210 sets the environment variables as Taro Sosio sends an e-mail to Sosio Hanako to the request to exchange business cards to the e-mail address of Hanashi Sosio as the temporarily held argument. At the same time, the business card management site 200 generates a business card exchange management table 232 (the upper table in FIG. 13) and stores it in a predetermined storage area such as its own hard disk device. FIG. 13 is an example of a business card exchange management table.

In the table 232, the user ID of the business card holder, the user ID of the business card manager, the permission status of the manager, the display status of the business card holder, and the ID of the shared business card are registered.
