The processing of will be described. In the following description, the user A who operates the user terminal 11a is the information sender,
An example in which the user N who operates the user terminal 11n is an information receiver will be described.

As the priority set by the information sender, the priority of the transmission information set by the information sender and the priority of the operating environment of the communication function (hereinafter referred to as content) can be considered. Further, the priority set by the information receiver may be the priority of the information sender or the priority of the content.

Therefore, an example in which the information sender sets the priority for each transmission information and the information receiver sets the priority for each information sender will be described as a first embodiment. For example, when user A sends information to user N,
The user A inputs the transmission information to be transmitted to the user N from the user terminal 11a and sets the priority of the transmission information.

FIG. 3 shows an image diagram of an example of the transmission information input screen. The transmission information input screen 31 includes a priority setting screen 32. Priority setting screen 3 in Figure 3
In 2, the priority “0” to “4” can be set, and the priority “2” is set.

The user A connects the user terminal 11a to the communication server 10 and sends the transmission information to be transmitted to the user N and the priority of the transmission information to the communication server 10.

On the other hand, the user N connects the user terminal 11n to the communication server 10 and presets the priority for each sender of the information received by the user N. FIG. 4 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the priority setting information stored in the communication server 10.

In the priority setting information, the priority of the information receiver to the information sender is set.
For example, the user N as the information receiver sets the priority of the user A as the information sender to "2".
Further, the user N sets the priorities other than the user A to “1”. When the priority for the information sender is not set like the user B as the information receiver, the priority for the information sender is, for example, the initial value “1”.

When the transmission information to be transmitted to the user N and the priority of the transmission information are transmitted from the user terminal 11a, the communication server 10 performs the display screen creation process based on the flowchart shown in FIG. Figure 5
FIG. 8 shows a flowchart of an embodiment of a display screen creation process.

In step S1, the communication server 10 acquires the priority of the transmission information transmitted from the user terminal 11a. In step S2 following step S1, the communication server 10 acquires the priority of the information receiver for the information sender from the priority setting information. For example, in the case of the priority setting information of FIG. 4, the communication server 1
0 is the priority “2” of user N with respect to user A
To get.

In step S3 following step S2, the communication server 10 calculates the total priority according to the priority of the transmission information acquired in step S1 and the priority of the information receiver acquired in step S2 for the information sender. . For example, the total priority is calculated by adding the priority of the transmission information acquired in step S1 and the priority of the information receiver acquired in step S2 to the information sender. The calculation of the total priority is not limited to the addition, and the four arithmetic operations may be combined.

In step S4 following step S3, the communication server 10 creates a received information display screen based on the overall priority. Figure 6
The image figure of an example of a reception information display screen is shown.

The received information display screen of FIG. 6 displays the subject of the received information, which is the transmitted information transmitted from the user terminal 11a, and the information sender. The reception information display screen is configured so that important reception information is visually conspicuous based on the total priority calculated in step S3. For example, in the reception information display screen of FIG. 6, the more important the reception information is displayed on the upper side and the larger the character font.

When the priority range of the transmission information and the priority range of the information receiver to the information sender are "0" to "4", the total priority range is "0" to "8". Therefore, the communication server 10 has an overall priority range of "8"-
The received information of "6" is most important, the received information of the total priority range of "5" to "3" is important, and the received information of the total priority range of "2" to "0" is classified as normal. You may make it display different for every division.

In step S5 following step S4, the communication server 10 displays the reception information display screen as shown in FIG. 6 created in step S4 on the user terminal 1.
Display on 1n. By browsing the received information display screen, the user N can easily discriminate important received information from a large number of received information.

An example in which the information sender sets the priority for each transmission information and each content, and the information receiver sets the priority for each information sender and each content will be described as a second embodiment.

For example, when registering information in contents,
The user A inputs the transmission information by using the flowchart shown in FIG. FIG. 7 shows a flowchart of an embodiment of the transmission information input process.

In step S10, the user A connects the user terminal 11a to the communication server 10,
A content (for example, electronic mail, electronic bulletin board 1, electronic conference room 1, etc.) is selected. Here, it is assumed that the user A selects the electronic bulletin board 1 as the content.

After step S10, the process proceeds to step S11, where the communication server 10 performs step S10.
It is determined whether or not the priority of the content selected in step 1 is set in the priority setting information. If it is determined that the priority is set in the priority setting information (YES in S11), the communication server 10 proceeds to step S12. On the other hand, when determining that the priority is not set in the priority setting information (NO in S11), the communication server 10 proceeds to step S13.

In step S12, the communication server 10 determines whether or not there is a content priority change request from the user terminal 11a. If it is determined that there is a content priority change request (S12
In YES), the communication server 10 proceeds to step S13. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no content priority change request (N in S12
O), the communication server 10 performs step S13.
Proceed to.

In step S13, the communication server 10 causes the user A to set the priority for the content. For example, the user A uses the user terminal 11a to set the priority for the content. The priority setting for the content can be automatically performed by causing the communication server 10 to execute the priority setting process as shown in FIG.

FIG. 8 shows a flow chart of an embodiment of the priority setting process for contents. In step S20, the communication server 10 quantitatively analyzes the content type, purpose, usage frequency, importance, and the like. Then, proceeding from step S20 to step S21, the communication server 10 sets the priority of the content based on the analysis result of step S20.

Following step S13 in FIG. 7, step S
Proceeding to 14, the user A inputs the information to be registered in the electronic bulletin board 1 as the transmission information from the user terminal 11a and sets the priority of the transmission information. Figure 9
[Fig. 3] shows an image diagram of another example of the transmission information input screen.
The transmission information input screen 41 is the priority setting screen 42.
including. On the priority setting screen 42 of FIG. 9, the priorities “0” to “4” can be set, and the priority “3” is set.

The user A connects the user terminal 11a to the communication server 10, transmits the information registered in the electronic bulletin board 1 as transmission information, and transmits the priority of the transmission information to the communication server 10.

On the other hand, the user N who receives the information registered in the content connects the user terminal 11n to the communication server 10 and presets the priority for each content used by the user N. Figure 10
[Fig. 6] is a configuration diagram of another embodiment of the priority setting information stored in the communication server 10.

In the priority setting information shown in FIG. 10, a priority is set for the content for each information receiver, and a priority for the information sender for each information receiver is set for each content.
For example, the user N as the information receiver has the electronic bulletin board 1, the electronic bulletin board 2, the electronic conference room 1, the electronic conference room 2, and the priority of the electronic mail as "1", "3", "1", respectively.
It is set to "3" and "1". Further, the user N sets the priority of the user A on the electronic bulletin board 1 to “4”.
On the other hand, the priorities of users other than user A on the electronic bulletin board 1 are set to "4".

When the user N who receives the information registered in the content connects the user terminal 11n to the communication server 10, the priority setting process as shown in FIG. 11 is executed.

FIG. 11 shows a flow chart of an embodiment of a priority setting process for contents or users. In step S30, the user N is the user terminal 1
1n is connected to the communication server 10 and a content for receiving information is selected.

After step S30, the process proceeds to step S31, and the communication server 10 proceeds to step S30.
It is determined whether or not the priority of the content selected in step 1 is set in the priority setting information. If it is determined that the priority is set in the priority setting information (YES in S31), communication server 10 proceeds to step S32. On the other hand, when determining that the priority is not set in the priority setting information (NO in S31), the communication server 10 proceeds to step S33.

In step S32, the communication server 10 determines whether or not there is a content or user priority change request from the user terminal 11n.
If it is determined that there is a content or user priority change request (YES in S32), the communication server 10 proceeds to step S33. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no content or user priority change request (NO in S32), the communication server 10 ends the process without updating the priority setting information.

In step S33, the communication server 10 causes the user N to set the priority for the content or the user. For example, the user N can update the priority setting information by using the user terminal 11n.

After the priority setting process of FIG. 11, the communication server 10 performs the display screen creating process based on the flowchart of FIG. Figure 12
9 is a flowchart of another embodiment of the display screen creation process. Here, an example in which the user A registers information on the electronic bulletin board 1 and the user N receives the information will be described.

In step S40, the communication server 10 acquires the priority of the information sender for the content from the priority setting information as shown in FIG. For example, the communication server 10 uses the priority setting information to identify the information sender A's electronic bulletin board 1
Get priority "4" for.

In step S41 following step S40, the communication server 10 obtains the priority of the information receiver for the content from the priority setting information. For example, the communication server 10 acquires the priority “1” of the information receiver N for the electronic bulletin board 1 from the priority setting information.

In step S42 following step S41, the communication server 10 determines the user terminal 1
The priority of the transmission information transmitted from 1a is acquired. Progressing to step S43 following step S42, the communication server 10 acquires the priority corresponding to the content among the priorities of the information receiver and the information sender from the priority setting information.

For example, in the case of the priority setting information of FIG. 10, the communication server 10 acquires the priority “4” of the user N on the electronic bulletin board 1 to the user A.

After step S43, the process proceeds to step S44, where the communication server 10 proceeds to step S40.
The total priority is calculated according to the priority of the information sender for the content, the priority of the information receiver for the content, the priority of the transmission information, and the priority of the information receiver for the information sender acquired in S43.

For example, the total priority is determined in step S
It is calculated by adding the priorities acquired in 40 to S43. The calculation of the total priority is not limited to the addition, and the four arithmetic operations may be combined.

In step S45 following step S44, the communication server 10 creates a received information display screen based on the overall priority. FIG.
[Fig. 6] is an image diagram of another example of the reception information display screen.

The received information display screen 50 of FIG. 13 displays the contents of the received information, which is the transmitted information transmitted from the user terminal 11a, the subject, and the information sender. The reception information display screen is configured such that important reception information is visually conspicuous based on the total priority calculated in step S44. For example, in the reception information display screen of FIG. 13, more important reception information is displayed on the upper side and the character font is displayed larger.

After step S45, the process proceeds to step S46, where the communication server 10 proceeds to step S45.
The reception information display screen 50 as shown in FIG. 13 created in step 13 is displayed on the user terminal 11n. By browsing the received information display screen 50, the user N can easily discriminate important received information from a large number of received information.

Further, the detailed information display screen 51 is displayed by, for example, clicking and selecting one reception information from the reception information display screen 50. The detailed information display screen 51 is
It includes the content of the selected received information, the subject, the information sender, and the text, and also includes a priority change button 52 for increasing or decreasing the overall priority corresponding to the received information.

The communication server 10 executes the total priority changing process as shown in FIG. 14 while displaying the detailed information display screen 51. FIG. 14 shows a flowchart of an embodiment of the total priority changing process.

In step S50, the communication server 10 determines whether or not there is a total priority change request from the information receiver. For example, whether or not there is a request to change the overall priority is determined by whether or not the priority change button 52 on the detailed information display screen 51 is clicked.

When it is determined that the information receiver has requested the change of the total priority (YES in S50),
The communication server 10 proceeds to step S51 and changes the priority associated with the total priority.

For example, in the case of the detailed information display screen 51 of FIG. 13, the user N selects the priority change button 52.
By clicking the priority change button 52 for increasing the overall priority among the above, the priority of the user N with respect to the electronic conference room 1 is increased, and the priority of the user N with respect to the user D corresponds to the electronic conference room 1. Priority increases.

In the total priority changing process of step S51, the information receiver may be allowed to set how to select the priority associated with the total priority and how to change the priority.

Although the communication server 10 has the configuration having the priority setting information in the present embodiment, the user terminals 11a to 11n may have the configuration having the priority setting information, or may have the priority setting information in a distributed manner. It may be configured.

The information transmission system 1 of the present invention is based on the fact that the importance of information is different between the information sender and the information receiver, and sets the priority of each of the information sender and the information receiver. Then, the total priority is calculated from the priorities set by the information sender and the information receiver, and the importance of the information is determined by the total priority, so that the information sender or the information receiver is not subjective but objective. Information that seems to be important can be easily identified.

Furthermore, the information transmission system 1 of the present invention is
Information that is objectively important is displayed in a visually prominent manner. Therefore, the information receiver can easily discriminate objectively important information from a large number of information.
