Further, the content database 14 may exist in a place other than the information storage server 1, and may exist in, for example, a computer or a database server of a distribution source customer.

The user data transmission / reception means 8 is a means for extracting an individual display data list to be displayed on the user's front screen from the individual data storage database 13 and transmitting the list to the user terminal 2 after the user is authenticated. For example, if the user ID is ABC, the user database 1
The address of the user's individual data storage space on the individual data storage database 13 is extracted from the address column of 0.
In this case, the address is XYZ00 / ABC (the individual data storage space of the database whose database name is XYZ00 and whose address is ABC). Next, based on this address, the individual data storage database 13 whose database name is XYZ00 is searched to extract an individual display data list whose address is ABC. Then, the individual display data list is transmitted to the user terminal 2. In this case, the address is XYZ02 / 131 (data of the database having the database name XYZ02 and the address is 131), the display position on the screen is data of the connection field A, and the data display attribute (data format ) Transmits text data and data indicating blinking display every 10 seconds. In this case, all the individual display data lists stored in the individual data storage space may be transmitted to the user terminal 2 or an arbitrary number may be transmitted. When the user terminal 2 receives the data of the individual display data list, the data acquisition unit 17 separately accesses the content data of the content database 14 via the data transmission / reception unit 18 so that the content data is displayed on the front screen. Become. In this case, the database name is XYZ
The user browses the content data by acquiring the content data by accessing the content data having the address 131 in the database 02 and displaying the content data in the connection field A on the front screen in a text format by blinking every 10 seconds. It becomes possible.

The user data transmitting / receiving means 8 transmits individual information (individual data) such as a user's schedule from the individual data transmitting means 19 of the user terminal 2 to the data transmitting / receiving means 1.
8 and the personal information storage database 1
5, and adds the address of the storage destination of the stored individual information to the individual display data list of the individual data storage space of the corresponding user in the individual data storage database 13. Further, when transmitting the individual display data list to the user terminal 2, it is the same as the above.

The registration data list creation means 9 receives the registration data of the distribution source from the distribution source customer registration means 7, creates a distribution destination data list indicating to which user the registered content data is distributed, and distributes the data. Former customer registration means 7
Is transmitted to the content database 14. Also, the content database 1 of the content data is added to the individual display data list of the individual data storage space of the individual data storage database 13 of the corresponding user based on the created registered data list.
4 and a connection field for displaying the content data of the address is added. When only the address of the content data is transmitted from the distribution source customer terminal 3, the address and the connection field are added to the individual display data list.

In the present embodiment, the content database 14 and the personal information storage database 15 are shown one by one, but it goes without saying that a plurality of them may exist. For the sake of convenience, in this embodiment, the names of the respective databases are referred to as a content database 14 and a personal information storage database 15, however, as illustrated, XYZ00, XYZ
A name such as 01 may be given. Further, the content database 14 is not only provided in the information storage server 1, but a separate database server may be provided.

[0042]

Next, an example of the flow of a process using the system of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to flowcharts shown in FIGS. First, a flow of a process in which a user performs usage registration in the information storage server 1 and secures an individual data storage space will be described.

The user who uses the information storage server 1 for the first time inputs the attributes such as name, age, address, and contact information on the user registration screen, and transmits the information to the user registration means 6 of the information storage server 1 to register the user. Perform (S100). The user registration screen is a screen including a column for inputting the user's name, age, address, contact information, and the like, a “send” button for transmitting the screen contents to the information storage server 1, and an example is shown in FIG. Upon receiving the user registration, the user registration means 6 receives the user's I
D. Issue a password and send it to the user terminal 2. The user attribute, ID, and password are stored in the user database 10.

When a new user is registered in S100, the individual data storage space creating means 12 creates an individual data storage space for storing data for each user on the individual data storage database 13 (S110). ).
Thereafter, this file is updated / deleted as data unique to each user. Further, the address of the individual data storage space created in S110 is stored in the user database 10 via the user registration means 6.

The user selects and sets the content data to be displayed in the connection field on the front screen (S120). The setting can be made by selecting a data display object to be changed from the default front screen.

The user data transmitting / receiving means 8 transmits the content data to be displayed in the connection field of the front screen selected by the user in S120 to the user terminal 2
By receiving from the individual data transmitting unit 19 through the data transmitting / receiving unit 18 via the data transmitting / receiving unit 18, the address of the content data selected by the user is extracted from the content database 14 and the personal information storing database 15, Store as an individual display data list in the data storage space.

Next, the flow of the process of registering the use of a distribution source customer who wishes to distribute content data and registering the content data will be described in detail.

The distribution source customer who wishes to distribute data to the user accesses the distribution source customer registration means 7 of the information storage server 1 via the network 4 from the distribution source customer terminal 3 of the distribution source customer, and The distribution source customer registration screen transmitted from the customer registration means 7 is received by the content data distribution source customer terminal 3, and the distribution source customer registration is executed by inputting predetermined items on the distribution source customer registration screen (S20).
0).

The distribution source customer registration screen has columns for inputting attributes such as the distribution source customer name, address, and contact information, and a “send” button for determining to transmit the input information to the information storage server 1. ing. FIG. 10 shows an example of the distribution source customer registration screen.

When the distribution source customer selects the “Send” button on the distribution source customer registration screen, the input information is transmitted from the distribution source customer terminal 3 via the network 4 to the distribution source customer registration means 7 of the information storage server 1. The distribution source customer registration means 7 registers the information on the distribution source customer registration screen and issues an ID and a password to the distribution source customer. At this time, it is natural that the ID and the password are stored in the distribution source customer database 11. The distribution source customer inputs the ID and the password from the next time, so that the authentication means 5
Authentication is performed via the, and registration of content data can be performed.

The distribution source customer requests the distribution source customer registration means 7 to transmit a content data registration screen for registering content data, and the distribution source customer terminal 3 receives the content data registration screen. FIG. 11 shows an example of the content data registration screen. The distribution source customer inputs the content data desired to be distributed and the distribution target user on the content data registration screen, and transmits them to the distribution source customer registration means 7 of the information storage server 1.

When the distribution source customer registration means 7 receives the content data, it sends it to the registration data list creation means 9. The registration data list creating means 9 stores and registers the content data in the content database 14 (S210).

After registering the content data in step S210, a search is made for a distribution target user of the received content data from the user database 10, and an address of the searched individual data storage space is extracted. Is created (S220).

The registration data list creation means 9 executes S220
In the individual data storage database 13, based on the distribution destination data list created in the above, the individual display data list of the individual data storage space of the user to be distributed includes the address of the content data in the content database 14; A connection field for displaying the content data is added (S230). This allows the user to browse the latest content data from the next time. That is, the data acquisition unit 17 of the user terminal 2
If a different address is indicated in the same connection field, it indicates that the content data has been added, changed, or updated by comparing the address of the stored content data with the new address. It becomes possible to access the content database 14 based on the address obtained by the data obtaining means 17 and display the latest content data.

The above steps S100 to S120 and S200
From step S230, user registration and distribution source customer registration can be performed. Next, an example of a process flow when the user actually uses the front screen will be described in detail.

By selecting an icon, button, command, or the like for starting the front screen, an authentication screen (not shown) for authenticating whether or not the user is a user for accessing the front screen is displayed on the user terminal 2. It is displayed on the display device, and on this authentication screen, the ID and password given by the information storage server 1 at the time of user registration are input (S300), and transmitted from the user terminal 2 to the information storage server 1. Also, the ID and password input in S300 are input only for the first time without having to input each time at the time of startup as in this embodiment, and the ID and password input for the first time are stored for the second and subsequent times. By
It is not necessary to request input by the user.

The ID and password input in S300 are received by the authentication means 5 of the information storage server 1, and user authentication is performed by referring to the user database 10 (S310). If the entered ID and password are incorrect, a message prompting you to re-enter the ID and password will be displayed.
The authentication means 5 transmits the information to the user terminal 2 (S320).

If the authentication is successful in step S310, the permission for starting the front screen and the address of the user's individual data storage space in the individual data storage database 13 stored in the user database 10 are stored in the user terminal. 2, the user terminal 2 activates the front screen (S330).

FIG. 12 shows an example of a screen image of the front screen displayed on the user terminal 2. The front screen is
A current time display section for displaying the current time, a calendar display section in which a schedule presence mark or a notification mark is displayed on the date portion of the calendar, a writing schedule display section for displaying a written schedule when a cursor is placed on the calendar section mark, A content display section for displaying content data such as character information and image information, a date / current time display section for displaying the date and current time, a “Reload” button for manually reloading the screen, and a “Setting” for performing various settings. It has buttons and the like. Each of these parts is managed as a data display object, and each has a connection field.

The data acquisition means 17 accesses the user data transmission / reception means 8 of the information storage server 1 via the data transmission / reception means 18 based on the address of the user's individual data storage space received when the front screen is activated in S330. Then, an individual display data list in the individual data storage space of the user stored in the individual data storage database 13 is acquired and saved (stored) (S340).

The data acquisition means 17 compares the individual display data list acquired in S340 with the individual display data list used last time when the data was accessed last time, and makes a difference between them (whether there is no change in the contents data). Is checked (S350).

As a result of the check in S350, if there is a difference (that is, there is a change in the content data) (S360), the content data is deleted based on the address described in the individual display data list having the difference. It is acquired (S370) and displayed on the front screen in the connection field of the address having the difference (S38).
0). For example, as a result of the check in S350, XYZ02
If the address of / 131 is different, the data acquisition unit 17 accesses the content database 14 named XYZ02 of the information storage server 1 via the data transmission / reception unit 18 and the content of the address 131 in the content database 14 Extract the data and S3
As a result of the check at 50, the content data of the address having the difference is blinked and displayed every 10 as a text format in the connection field A on the front screen.

After the front screen is displayed, in order to update the data display object displayed on the front screen, the data acquisition means 17 transmits / receives the user data of the information storage server 1 via the data transmission / reception means 18 at regular intervals. The front screen is updated by accessing the means 8 and acquiring and storing (storing) the individual display data list from the individual data storage database 13 and collating it with the previously acquired individual display data list. S340 to S
By repeating 380 until the user finishes,
The user can always browse the latest data. Also, instead of transmitting and receiving the content data itself, by transmitting and receiving only the address of the content data and transmitting and receiving only the content data that has changed,
It has become possible to reduce the load on the network 4 and the data display time.

As described above, since the user terminal 2 always synchronizes with the information storage server 1, even if a network failure or a server failure occurs, even if the normally used user terminal 2 cannot be used, other access is not possible. Means (other user terminal 2)
, Etc.), it is possible to always obtain the latest content data.

For example, another example of the front screen is shown in FIG.
Shown in The front screen shown in FIG. 13 includes, as data display objects, stock price information (here, Nikkei 225 and TO
PIX) is displayed. The description of the same parts as those described above is omitted.

After executing steps S300 to S330, the data acquisition means 17 accesses the user data transmission / reception means 8 via the data transmission / reception means 18 and acquires the individual display list from the individual data storage space of the user in the individual data storage database 13. . After acquiring the individual display list, it is compared with the previous individual display list to check whether there is any difference. The feature of the stock price information is that it changes every moment. In this case, it is preferable to add the time at which the last updated content data was updated after the address as a parameter after the address, and check up to this parameter to determine whether there is a difference in the content data. It is. That is, in the case of the previous individual display data list, when the address of the content data is “XYZ03 / 151 # 1345”, the content data is stored in the address 151 in the content database 14 with the database name of XYZ03. This means that the latest content data at that time was updated at 13:45. The address of the content data of the newly acquired individual display data list is "XYZ03".
/ 151 # 1350 ", the content data is stored in the address 151 in the content database 14 with the database name XYZ03, and the latest content data at that time is updated at 13:50. Means that

In other words, by making the two or more addresses “#” and thereafter as a check target, it is possible to update the content data that changes every moment with only one address. Further, when registering content data that changes from moment to moment, such as a stock price, in the content database 14, the information storage server 1 has in advance when the registration data list creating means 9 registers in the content database 14. When registering in the content database 14 using the clock function, the registration time is acquired and the individual data storage database 13 is registered.
This time can be realized by adding this time as a parameter to the address when adding (updating) the individual display data list.

Next, a detailed description will be given of the process flow when the user himself registers schedule data and the like on the front screen. In this embodiment, a case where the data display object is a calendar and schedule data is written therein will be described. The user goes from S300 to S
380 is executed, and the front screen is displayed (S40).
0). FIG. 12 shows an example of the front screen in this case.

By selecting a date for writing the schedule in the calendar display section of the front screen, a schedule input screen appears, and the user inputs and saves necessary data on the schedule input screen (S410). FIG. 14 shows the schedule input screen.

After the user saves the data, the individual data sending means 19 accesses and transmits the user data sending / receiving means 8 via the data sending / receiving means 18 (S420). The user data transmission / reception means 8 stores the user in the corresponding database, in this case, the personal information storage database 15 in S4.
The data input in step 10 is stored (S430).
After storing in the personal information storage database 15 in S430, the user data transmission / reception means 8 adds the address of the data stored in S430 to the individual display data list of the user's individual data storage space in the individual data storage database 13. (S440).

As a result, the next time the data acquisition means 17
When the data of the individual data storage database 13 is acquired via the data transmission / reception means 18, the address can be checked as a difference address, so that the data can be reflected. When the schedule data is added, it is preferable that a schedule presence mark is displayed on the calendar display section.

In this embodiment, the content database 14 for storing content data and the personal information storage database 15 for storing individual information such as a user's schedule are provided in the information storage server 1, but a separate database server is provided. It may be provided and stored there. For example, when the content data is stored in the content database 14 (or the database server) of the distribution source customer terminal 3, the information storage server 1
This can be realized by transmitting only the address of the storage destination of the content data, instead of transmitting the content data to the server. Similarly, when individual information such as a schedule is provided in a database (or database server) owned by the user, the individual information is not transmitted to the information storage server 1 but only the address of the storage destination of the individual information is transmitted. This can be achieved by:

The same applies to the case where content data is obtained from the user terminal 2. The content database 14 (or the content database 14 server) storing the content data is used by using the storage address of the content data. ) May be obtained to obtain content data therefrom. The same applies to individual information.

According to the present invention, an individual data storage space which can be referred to for each user is created in an information storage server which can store information for each user.
An individual information management system capable of transmitting and providing information for each user stored in an information storage server regardless of the terminal used by the user, regardless of the P address, has become possible. In addition, when data is transmitted and received between the information storage server and the user terminal, only the storage destination address of the content data is used. It is possible to reduce the amount of data transmitted and received per unit, and the speed of response is also ensured.

In addition, by storing not the content data itself but the address (location) of the content data in the individual data storage space for each user, the storage capacity required by the information storage server can be significantly reduced. Was made possible. In the case where the content data is not stored in the information storage server, only the address of the content data is stored. By storing on the server,
The distribution source customer can easily change the content data.

Further, by always storing the latest data in the user terminal and synchronizing with the information storage server,
For example, even if a network failure, a server failure, or the like occurs, by securing another access means immediately, it is possible to browse the latest data without delay.
