Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system and method for updating and managing member information of a plurality of websites on the Internet, for example.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Businesses that use the Internet to provide e-commerce, electronic information providing services, application services, database services, etc., pay or don't charge a website for using their own services. Membership system is often adopted, and each site manages member information independently using an appropriate database system.

[0003]

At present, there are various sites on the Internet, and each user of the Internet performs a member registration procedure for the site he / she wants to use and changes his / her address. If there is a change in your email address or email address, you will need to perform an update procedure for each site.

However, many users tend not to perform the update procedure for all the sites that they have registered themselves, but only for the sites that they regularly use. From the user's point of view, it is extremely complicated to perform the update procedure for each of the many sites that are members.

The information such as the mail address of the member, which is registered and managed in the member information management database on the site where the update procedure is not performed, is no longer available old, and the information for all members is automatically updated on the site. Even if the mail delivery system is built, the intended email cannot be delivered to members who have not completed the update procedure.

[0006] Even if a user has registered as a member for a particular site, he / she often forgets the URL for accessing the site, and wants to carry out a procedure for changing the mail address. A situation occurs in which it cannot be done.

Therefore, according to the present invention, while security can be easily ensured, the latest update information of the member is shared between each site, and if the member performs the update procedure at any site, other The object is to provide a member information management system that can automatically update the member information management database on the site.

[0008]

The present invention takes the following technical means in order to achieve the above object. That is, the member information update management system by sharing information between a plurality of sites according to the present invention includes a plurality of site member information management databases provided for each of a plurality of membership sites on a computer network, and a plurality of member information management databases. A common shared information management database is provided, the shared information management database is updated according to the update of each site member information management database, and the member information registered in each site member information management database is the shared information management database. Is updated by referring to, and for each membership site, electronic data and / or tangible material shipping processing means is provided for members of the own site, and the means is the site member information of the own site. For members registered in the management database, And it is characterized in that it is configured to determine the destination based on the membership of the member information.

In the member information update management system by sharing information between a plurality of sites according to the present invention, the shared information management database is updated according to the update of each site member information management database and registered in each site member information management database. Since the existing member information is updated by referring to the shared information management database, it is possible to automatically update the member information registered in each member information management database without performing the update process from the member. Becomes Therefore, it is not necessary for each member to update every site registered as a member, and the URL information etc. of a certain site is lost and the site itself is changed by changing its e-mail address. Even if the email delivery from the site is interrupted, if you perform the procedure to change the email address on another site, the member information management database on the site that lost the URL information etc. will be automatically updated, and the email delivery from that site will be performed. It becomes possible to receive it, and it becomes possible to resume the use of the site by using the URL information and the like described in the mail.

[0010] The above-mentioned membership system sites include various information providing sites and Internet homepage search sites such as We.
To provide appropriate services using various network protocols such as HTTP sites that provide various services through page b, FTP sites for transmitting and receiving software such as shareware and freeware, and other News sites. Includes site. HT
The TP site is also called a website or WWW site. Generally, a web page that can be browsed by an appropriate browser (HTTP client) such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator by an HTTP server such as Apache. To deliver. This web page is an HT created in advance.
It may be a static one composed of an ML document or an XML document, or a dynamic one composed of an HTML document or an XML document generated by a server side process such as CGI or SSI. Good. It is also possible to build multiple sites on one HTTP server, and the HTML files and CGI programs corresponding to each site are saved in a predetermined public Internet directory managed by the server. It may be accessible from a client system such as a computer on which a browser is activated or a personal digital assistant capable of connecting to the Internet. In addition, it is preferable to perform appropriate user authentication on the Web page, directory, etc., which is the entrance to each site. The client system is used to input the member ID and password, which are sent to the server, and are prepared after authentication. It is better to be able to receive the provision of services. Such an authentication process can be performed by a known means such as a CGI program for accessing the site member information management database for authentication and a server built-in process.

The site member information management database and the shared information management database may be created on a common database system or may be created on completely separate database systems. As a database system, Oracle (Or
aacle's registered trademark), Microsoft SQL S
An appropriate database system including a relational database system such as server (“Microsoft” is a registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation), PostgreSQL, or the like can be used, and it is preferable to use a database system in which access authority to data can be set for each database. Is good. Further, each database may be managed by a different business operator, or may be managed by the same business operator. Further, the administrator of the database system and the administrator of each database created in the database system may be different.

Each site member information management database contains
The personal information of the member who belongs to his / her own site is registered as the member information. As this member information, the member I
D, password, member's name or name, destination such as address or email address, hobby, work place, educational background, work history,
It can include items of interest, qualifications acquired, update date information, and multiple items selected from the shared ID, etc., which will be described later. A field is assigned to each of these items to record for each member. The database can be configured to be managed in units, and the database can be normalized. The update of the site member information management database means that the member information (data) already registered in the database is changed or deleted, or the member information of a new member is newly registered in the database. . Such a database update process can be directly performed by a front-end process included in the database system,
By issuing a request (such as a command) from the external process to the front-end process, Perl or PHP
You can indirectly update the database from a script written in a high-level language such as
If you use l script etc. as CGI program,
It is possible to update the database according to a request from the client system via the Web server.
In the present invention, individuals include natural persons, corporations, and non-corporate groups.

In the shared information management database, a predetermined item of the member information (personal information of each member) managed by the site member information management database, for example, a copy of the member's name or name or destination is recorded as a record unit. Further, the update date information corresponding to each copy can be managed in association with each other. Also in the database, a plurality of fields to be managed may be managed in a single table, or may be normalized and managed in a plurality of tables. In this shared information management database, in principle, it is preferable to manage one record for each individual or corporation. The shared information management database is provided with copies of the data in multiple site member information management databases, but all these copies may be managed along with their update dates, or only the copy with the latest update date may be managed. In any case, it is preferable to manage all the information relating to the same person by associating them with each person's name or name or destination as a key. However, if each individual registers different email addresses, addresses, or whereabouts on multiple sites, it is not possible to determine whether they have the same surname, same name, or the same person.In this case, the same information is shared in the shared information management database. A person may be registered in multiple records.

The update of the shared information management database means that personal information managed in the database is changed or deleted, or personal information is newly registered. Such database update processing can be directly performed by a front-end process included in the database system that manages the database, and by issuing a request to the front-end process from an external process such as a perl script. , It is possible to indirectly update the database from an external process. The method of updating the shared information management database according to the update of each site member information management database can be various according to the system configuration, security policy, etc. When performing the update, the process that performs the update process may access the shared information management database and update the corresponding record, or indirectly update the shared information management database through the application in the middle tier. Alternatively, the update information related to the updated part of each site member information management database may be received by the embedded process of the database system that manages the shared information management database, and the shared information management database may be updated by the embedded process. It is also possible to let. This update processing of the shared information management database may be carried out immediately in response to the update of each site member information management database, and, for example, in the UNIX (registered trademark) system, the clone processing may be performed.
It may be performed periodically at a time preset by a daemon or the like. By the above update processing, the latest personal information (addressee, etc.) of an individual who is a member of any site is accumulated in the shared information management database.

A configuration in which the member information registered in each site member information management database is updated by referring to the shared information management database can also be an appropriate system configuration. For example, to the operation manager of each site and the manager of the site member information management database,
By giving access authority to the shared information management database and directly accessing the shared information management database by the administrator (that is, by allowing the administrator to access the process executed by the administrator), the shared information management database is referred to, and the own site is accessed. It is possible to obtain the latest member information of a member who belongs to and update the site member information management database of the own site. Also, an application in the middle tier that has the access authority to the shared information management database is provided, and the access authority to the shared information management database is not granted to the site operation manager and the site member information management database administrator. In addition, the access authority to the application in the middle layer is given, and when a predetermined command is issued to the application, the application refers to the shared information management database and feeds back the latest member information to the issuer. Then, the site side can refer to the shared information management database via the application to update the site member information management database of the own site.

The above-mentioned shipping processing means can also have an appropriate structure. For example, an electronic mail including electronic data such as text data and image data is registered in the site member information management database of the own site. You can use your e-mail address (address) to deliver it to all members or some members who meet certain conditions on a regular basis or when you meet certain conditions, and also mail tangible things. In such a case, the address or residence (address) of the member who is registered in the site member information management database of the own site and is about to be mailed may be printed on the address label. That is, the shipping processing means, based on the member information of the member registered in the site member information management database of the own site, for all or some of the members who have registered as members on the own site.
It can be configured to determine a destination such as an email address, an address and a whereabouts, and deliver the email, print an address label, and the like. Here, as described above, the member information registered in each site member information management database is updated to the latest information by referring to the shared information management database. It is possible to deliver to a proper address or email address to members without notification of email address change or online processing.

The member information update management system by sharing information between a plurality of sites according to the present invention includes a plurality of site member information management databases provided for each of a plurality of membership sites on a computer network, and the plurality of member information. It has a shared information management database common to the management database, and each site member information management database manages personal information (member information) regarding each member who has registered as a member on the own site and update date information of the personal information. In addition, in response to a request from the client system connected to the computer network, the update processing of the personal information of the registered member and the new registration processing of the personal information of the new member are performed. When processing is performed, the date at that time is used as the update date information in the database. The shared information management database manages a copy of personal information managed by each site member information management database and update date information corresponding to each copy. The update is performed in each site member information management database. When the processing or the new registration processing is performed, it is determined whether or not the same person is already registered in the shared information management database based on the updated information including the processed personal information and the update date information, and already registered. If so, the update date information included in the update information is compared with the corresponding update date information registered in the shared information management database, and a copy of the personal information of the latest date is shared with the update date information. If you have not registered yet, copy the personal information included in the update information and update date information. It is configured to newly register in the existing information management database, and further comprises automatic updating means for automatically updating each personal information registered in each site member information management database by referring to the shared information management database. The updating means compares the update date information corresponding to each personal information registered in each site member information management database with the update date information corresponding to the copy of the personal information registered in the shared information management database. The personal information of the latest date is updated and registered in each site member information management database together with the update date information.

In such an update management system, date data registered as update date information in each site member information management database may be obtained from a timer of a system that manages the database, or NTP (Netwo
rk Time Protocol) server. In addition, the update date information may be data indicating up to the date when the update processing is performed, data indicating up to hour and minute, and data indicating up to second. May be

The request from the client system is
Directly to the database server that manages the member information management database of each site or W of each site
It can be performed indirectly via an eb server or the like.

A copy of personal information managed by all site member information management databases may be registered in the shared information management database together with attribute information indicating which site the copy is made of. Only the latest copy of the personal information registered in the information database may be registered, or the copies of the personal information of a predetermined number of sites from the latest date may be registered. As the update date information corresponding to each copy, what is registered in each site member information management database may be copied to the shared information management database.

The determination as to whether or not the same person is already registered in the shared information management database can be made to be performed by an appropriate process having the access authority to the database, and the client computer and the computer in the middle hierarchy. Alternatively, an appropriate computer connected to a network such as a database server may make the determination. Further, a specific method for determining whether or not the same person has already been registered can be made appropriate. For example, if both the name or the name and the address such as the mail address or the address match, the person is the same person. It is also possible to determine that the person is the same person if only the email addresses match, and it is possible to perform the determination using other appropriate items included in the personal information as keys.

Further, the update registration process and the new registration process after the above determination can be performed by an appropriate process having an access right to the database, such as a database client computer, an intermediate hierarchy computer or a database server. An appropriate computer connected to the network can directly or indirectly perform the above processing.

The automatic updating means can be constituted by an embedded process of a database system for managing each site member information management database or an external process. In this case, an automatic updating means is provided for each site member information management database. You can Further, the automatic updating means may be constituted by an embedded process of a database system for managing the shared information management database or an external process. In this case, one automatic updating means (automatic updating process) may be used for a plurality of site member information management databases. The automatic update processing of can be performed. The timing of the automatic update by this automatic update means may be appropriate, and the personal information in each site member information management database may be automatically updated in response to the update registration of the personal information in the shared information management database,
It may be set to be automatically updated on a predetermined day or time.

According to the member information update management system of the present invention, a person who has registered as a member at a plurality of sites performs an update process of personal information such as an address change on any one of the sites, or If you register as a member of any one of the personal information sites, the latest personal information will be copied to the shared information management database, and the latest personal information managed in the shared information management database by the automatic update means will be used. , Since the corresponding personal information in each site member information management database is automatically updated, it is sufficient for each individual to update the member information at any one site, and it is necessary to perform the same update procedure at all sites. There is no. Also, depending on each site operator, even if a member neglects to perform the update procedure, when the update is made on another site that the member normally uses, the update information is obtained via the shared information management database. , It is easy to keep the personal information of the members of your site up to date. Further, since the update information is shared via the shared information management database, it is easy to secure the security between the sites.

Further, the member information update management system of the present invention includes a plurality of site member information management databases provided for each of a plurality of membership sites on a computer network, and shared information common to the plurality of member information management databases. It has a management database, and each site member information management database manages, for each member who belongs to the site, a member ID, a password, a name or name, a destination such as an address or an email address, and a shared ID in association with each other. The member ID and password are individual for each site, the shared ID is common to the plurality of sites, and the shared information management database is the member information management database for each site. Name or name given by, and address or email address It is a relational database that manages the destination and the unique shared ID generated by the shared ID generation means in association with each other, and the name or name of the same member managed by each site member information management database and the latest of the destinations. Things are given to the shared information management database and managed, and the name or name of each member managed by each site member information management database and the destination is the name or name in the shared information management database associated with the corresponding shared ID. In addition, it is characterized in that it is configured to be updated to the latest one by referring to the destination.

In the update management system of the present invention,
Member I managed by each site member information management database
The D, password, name or name, and destination are personal information of the member, and may include other items as personal information, for example, information on work place. Also, the shared ID
Is a copy from the shared information management database,
If it is determined that they are the same person, they will be common to multiple sites. On the other hand, the member ID is assigned to each site, and it is preferable that the member ID and password are not copied to the shared information management database.

The names or names and destinations managed by the shared information management database are copies of the above personal information managed by each site member information management database, and the personal information in all site member information management databases is shared information. It may be copied and registered in the management database, or only the latest personal information of the same person may be copied and registered in the shared information management database.

The shared ID generation means can be constituted by an embedded process of a database system for managing the shared information management database or an external process,
One unique shared ID is generated for the same person.

Each of the above update management systems may further include a Web server accessible by each member using the Web client system. The Web
The server delivers a unique site confirmation web page for each member corresponding to each shared ID.
If the eb page is configured to include information about the affiliated site obtained by accessing the shared information management database and / or multiple site member information management databases, individuals who are members of any site However, if you browse your own site confirmation Web page with a browser that runs on the client computer, you can check all the sites that you have already registered as a member, and you can register yourself as a member by so-called spoofing. Even if you do, you can discover it immediately.

In the present invention, membership registration or renewal registration at each site may be performed online by an individual by using an appropriate client system connected via a network. It is also possible to configure such that the support side of each site is contacted by postcard or telephone, and the operator side performs membership registration or renewal registration.

In the case shown in FIG. 2, the individual M1 is a member of the site A and the site B, and the individual M1 is registered as a member in each site member information database 11 and 12. Further, the individual M2 is registered as a member of the site A, the individual M3 is registered as a member of the site B, the individual M4 is registered as a member of the site C, and the individual M5 is registered as a member of the sites A and C. And individual M6 is Site B
Is registered as a member, and the individual M7 is registered as a member of the site C.

Member information database 11, 1 for each site
2 and 13 have a member ID and a shared I for each member to which they belong.
D, predetermined personal information, and update date / time information are registered and managed in record units. The personal information managed in each site member information management database is a password,
The name or the name, the address and the destination such as the mail address are included, and it is possible to include other appropriate matters. The member ID is individually assigned to each site, and is unique to each member on each site. As this member ID, the electronic mail address of the member may be used, or a character string consisting of alphanumeric characters generated according to a predetermined rule on the site side may be used. Further, the shared ID is given from the shared information management database 1 as described later, and the same shared ID is managed by a plurality of site member information management databases for the same individual. The update date / time information is data indicating the date / time when the personal information registered in the same record was updated (including new registration), and in the illustrated example, the date / time information is included.

In the shared information management database 1, a shared ID, predetermined personal information, and update date / time information are registered and managed in record units for each individual. Furthermore, each individual is a member of which site. Affiliation site information indicating whether or not is included can be included. The matters contained in the personal information managed in the database 1 do not have to match the matters contained in the personal information managed in each site member information management database, and are they partially, especially the same person? It is possible to manage only the items necessary to determine whether or not. For example, the shared information management database 1
The personal information managed in 1. may be only an e-mail address, and may include a name or name, a destination such as an address, and the like.

Next, based on FIGS. 3 to 7, an individual M
An example of the processing contents when the third member performs the new member registration on the site A will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, when the individual M3 accesses the site A and sends personal information online to the WWW server 21 of the site A using the new member registration page, the server 21 will be the site member of its own site. The information management database 11 is accessed to newly create a record for the individual M3, a unique member ID is generated, and the member ID and personal information are registered.
