A program 40, (5) distribution information generation management program 42, (6) distribution program 44, (7) data extraction program 46, and the like are stored. Further, an area for storing information acquired by the external information acquisition program 40 as temporary data 50 is also secured.
[0013]
Among these, the registrant database 28 is a collection of information of registrants 70 who desire a mail distribution service of various relay information by the distribution management system 10. The information of the registrant 70 includes, for example, name, e-mail address (delivery destination), type of terminal, type of e-mail to be distributed (for example, soccer ** vs. 試 合, specific baseball team) Game, etc.), when the terminal used by the registrant 70 is a mobile phone or a PHS, and the usage fee of the distribution service is provided by the payment service of the telephone company, the telephone number and the telephone company, or registration. If the terminal used by the person 70 is a PC and the usage fee for the distribution service is paid by a credit card, the credit card number or the like is used.
[0014]
The distribution database 30 includes a mail database 32, a Web page database 34, and a voice database 36. The mail database 32 includes, in addition to the body and title of the mail delivered to the terminal 60 of the registrant 70, fixed text used for generating the mail and the title, and the like. The Web page database 34 is a collection of HTML files and image files for detailed information provided by the WWW server 16 to the registrant terminal 60, and the voice database 36 has details equivalent to the detailed information on the Web page. The audio data for reproducing the information by the audio output unit 24 is integrated. The audio data may be audio in the venue of the relay site 80, live audio, or the like.
[0015]
The registrant information management program 38 manages a user of the present system as a registrant of the distribution management system 10, and reflects information registered on the Internet 90 by the registrant in the registrant database 28. I do. Of course, not only new registration, but also when the necessity of updating such as change or addition of the mail address or the type of desired mail to be delivered or deletion occurs, the contents are reflected in the registrant database 28. ing. The external information acquisition program 40 acquires the live condition information from the relay terminal 84 at the relay site 80, and stores the acquired information as temporary data 50 in the hard disk 26.
[0016]
The distribution information generation management program 42 stores the distribution data created based on the temporary data 50, that is, the mail data, the Web page data, and the voice data into the mail database 32, the Web page database 34, and the voice database 36. And performs maintenance such as processing necessary for generating these data and updating / deletion of the data.
[0017]
The distribution information generation management program 42 includes a title generation program 42A. The title generation program 42A has a function of extracting a predetermined keyword included in the body of the distribution mail data or the Web page data, and automatically generating a distribution mail title based on the extracted keyword. The main contents of the relay information can be reflected in the title. The title generation method by the title generation program 42A will be described later. Further, the distribution information generation management program 42 may be provided with a program for giving access information such as a URL of a Web page for providing detailed information and a telephone number of a telephone service to the body of the distribution mail as necessary. Good.
[0018]
The distribution program 44 refers to the distribution mail data stored in the registrant database 28 and the mail database 32, and distributes the mail via the mail server 14 to the registrant who wants to distribute the generated mail data. I do. Further, the data extraction program 46 stores the Web page database 34 and the voice database 36 when the registrant 70 requests to provide the detailed information based on the access information to the detailed information included in the body of the distribution mail. It refers to and extracts the corresponding data. If the extracted data is Web page data, the WWW server 16 transmits the HTML file to the registrant terminal 60. If the extracted data is audio data, the audio output unit 24 outputs the HTML file. Will be played. The registrant listens to the voice guide reproduced by an arbitrary communication means via the telephone line exchange 92 to grasp the detailed information.
[0019]
The mail database 32, the Web page database 34, and the voice database 36 have the respective databases individually in one distribution database 30, but may be separate databases. Each of the programs may be prepared independently, or may be prepared as a module or a routine included in one system program.

Of course, the relay terminal 84 is also provided with an input unit such as a keyboard and a display unit such as a display. The exchange of information between the relay site 80 and the distribution management system 10 is not limited to via the Internet 90, but may be by means such as telephone or facsimile.
[0023]
<Operation of Embodiment> Next, an operation of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a procedure for registering a mail delivery service to the delivery management system 10, and FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a procedure for delivering live-state information. FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a distribution data generation procedure on the distribution management system 10 side. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a screen display of various information and an example of audio output on the registrant terminal 60 side. In the present embodiment, the following operation will be described assuming that a baseball game is played at the relay site 80.
[0024]
As shown in FIG. 2, the applicant of the distribution mail accesses the distribution management system 10 in advance and applies for the mail distribution. The access operation of the distribution management system 10 to the HP (homepage) is the same as the normal browsing of the HP on the Internet. That is, the registrant (or registration applicant) 70 connects to the Internet 90 via the communication unit 62 of the terminal 60, inputs the URL of the HP of the distribution management system 10 to the WWW browser 68A, and transfers the information of the Web page. Is requested (step S10). Upon receiving this, the WWW server 16 of the distribution management system 10 reads out the file data of the required page from the Web page database 34 and transfers it to the terminal 60 (Step S12).
[0025]
When the registrant 70 accesses the HP of the distribution management system 10 in this manner, a predetermined registration screen is displayed on the display unit 64 (Step S14). The registration screen displays a column for inputting information about the registrant 70, a list of types of mails providing the mail distribution service, and the like. Here, the registrant 70 inputs or selects predetermined registration contents (for example, a name, an e-mail address, a type of e-mail to be delivered, a telephone number, a method of paying a service usage fee, etc.) through the input unit 65 (step S16). . When the input or selected content is transferred to the distribution management system 10 (step S18), in the distribution management system 10, the acquired information is registered in the registrant database 28 by executing the registrant information management program 38 (step S18). S20).
[0026]
The subsequent relay information distribution operation shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 will be described assuming that registration of mail distribution has been performed in advance by the registrant 70 according to the above-described procedure. The distribution management system 10 waits for the relay or the provision of the result information from the relay site 80 (step S30). When information is acquired from the relay terminal 84 of the relay site 80 by the external information acquisition program 40 (step S32), the acquired information is stored as temporary data 50, and based on the temporary data 50, distribution data (mail data, Web Page data and audio data) are created (step S34).
[0027]
Although any method may be used for creating the distribution data, an example is shown in FIG. In the distribution management system 10, when relay or result information is obtained from the relay site 80 (step S32), first, based on the obtained information, audio guidance is provided by Web page data for providing detailed information on the Web and a telephone service. Is created (step S70). Then, a body of the delivery mail including the URL of the detailed information Web page and the telephone number of the telephone service is created (step S72). The detailed information and the text of the mail may be created by the editor or the like on the distribution management system 10 side using the fixed text prepared in advance based on the temporary data 50, The content edited by the relay terminal 84 in 80 may be used as it is. The same applies to audio data. At this time, the URL of the Web page or the telephone number of the telephone service may be automatically incorporated into the mail text by executing a program for providing the link information.
[0028]
When the mail text is created, the title generating program 42A extracts a predetermined keyword included in the text of the mail or the text of the detailed information Web page, and the title of the delivery mail is automatically generated based on the extracted keywords. (Step S74). As a method of automatically generating a title, for example, (1) a predetermined number of keywords in the mail text or detailed information are picked up and arranged in ascending order from a keyword having a high frequency of description, and (2) a priority is assigned to the keywords. And a fixed phrase suitable for the keyword having the highest priority is selected and set as a title.
[0029]
For example, by preparing a situation that is assumed in advance, such as “Kiyohara ** No. HR”, as a fixed phrase in advance, the mail data can be quickly created. Also, by generating a title using an important keyword in this way, the registrant 70 can know the main content without looking at the content of the mail body, and at the same time, from the reception history of the mail, You can understand the flow of the game. The mail data, Web page data, and audio data for which the titles have been generated as described above are stored in the respective databases by the distribution information generation management program 42 (step S36).
[0030]
The above-described creation of data is performed every time information is acquired from the relay terminal 84. For example, in the case of baseball, the timing of information acquisition is at the end of each round, at each score, after the match, at the time of player replacement, and the like. Not something.
[0031]
Next, returning to FIG. 3, the mail data stored in the database is delivered to the registrant registered in the registrant database 28 by the delivery program 44 via the mail server 14 via the mail server 14. (Step S38). The registrant 70 receives the distribution mail from the terminal 60 (step S40) and confirms the title (step S42). FIG. 5A shows reception screen 100 when terminal 60 is a mobile phone or a PHS. As shown in FIG. 2A, the receiving screen 100 displays the sender (in this case, the delivery management system 10) 102 of the delivery mail such as “***@abc.ne.jp”, and “7/2 18: 32, the reception date and time 104, the title 106, and the like. In the illustrated example, the title 106 is “Giant vs. Hanshin Eto Two Base!”, And the main contents can be known without looking at the contents of the mail body.
[0032]
When the registrant 70 who has confirmed the title determines that it is not necessary to view the mail text (No in step S44), the process returns to step S40 and waits for the next mail distribution. On the other hand, if the user selects to view the mail text (Yes in step S44), the user presses the display button 108 of the terminal 60 to display and confirm the mail text as shown in FIG. 5B (step S46). . The text screen 110 describes a text 112, link information (URL) 114 to a Web page that provides detailed information, and a telephone number 116 of a telephone service that also provides detailed information by voice. In the example shown in the figure, the text 112 is “Now, the back batter Eto 1 out count 0-1 to the left middle two bases! ...”, the link information 114 is “http://www.abc./***html”, and the telephone The number 116 is “048-123-5678”.
[0033]
If the detailed information is not needed (No in step S48), the process may return to step S40 and wait for the next mail distribution, or the detailed information may be confirmed later. When the detailed information is desired (Yes in step S48), the user selects the browsing of the Web page or the use of the telephone service or the acquisition form of the detailed information (step S50), and sends the detailed information to the distribution management system 10 according to the selected form. Request for provision (step S52).
[0034]
Here, if the registrant 70 selects browsing of the Web page, that is, if the registrant 70 accesses the distribution management system 10 based on the link information 114 (Yes in step S54), the Web is executed by executing the data extraction program 46. The corresponding HTML file is extracted from the page database 34 (step S56), and the extracted file is transferred to the terminal 60 by the WWW server 16 (step S58). On the registrant 70 side, for example, a detailed screen 120 as shown in FIG. 5C is displayed on the display unit 64 of the terminal 60 (step S64). The illustrated example shows an example in which the registrant 70 accesses a Web page using a PC as a terminal. In addition to the text 122, an image 124 is also posted. Here, the PC is used to browse a Web page that discloses detailed information. However, a similar screen can be browsed by a mobile phone having a WWW browser 68A.
[0035]
On the other hand, when the registrant 70 calls the telephone number 116 of the telephone service described on the body screen 110 shown in FIG. 5B to obtain detailed information by voice (No in step S54), the data extraction program 46 refers to the audio database 36, and the corresponding audio data is extracted (step S60). The extracted audio data is reproduced by the audio output unit 24 (step S62), and is output from the output unit 66 of the registrant terminal 60 as shown in FIG. Voice output. As described above, the registrant 70 can grasp the detailed information by the telephone service using the voice call (step S64).
[0036]
After the detailed information is obtained by one of the above methods (step S64), if the game is not over (step S66), the process returns to step S40 again to wait for the next relay or mail distribution of the result information. When the game is over (Yes in step S66) and the result mail is not received (No in step S68), the reception of the result mail is waited, and at the time when the result mail is received (Yes in step S68). The distribution of the relay information on the game to be distributed by mail is completed.
[0037]
<Effects of Embodiment> As described above, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) Each time information is obtained from the relay site 80, the relay information is distributed to the terminal 60 of the registrant 70 by e-mail. I can figure it out.
[0038]
(2) Since the URL of the Web page and the telephone number of the telephone service for providing more detailed information are provided in the body of the delivery mail, the registrant 70 must obtain the detailed information at a convenient time. Can be.
[0039]
(3) Since the title of the delivery mail is generated based on the keyword extracted from the body of the mail or the body of the detailed information on the Web page, the registrant 70 can read the title of the mail without reading the body of the mail. Only you can know the main contents of the mail. Also, by reflecting the content of the information in the title in this way, it is possible to grasp the general flow of the game only by looking at the mail history screen. For example, in the history screen 130 shown in FIG. 5E, the mail reception time, the sender, and the title are "18:32 abc giant vs. Hanshin Eto Two Base" and "18:37 abc giant vs. Hanshin. -1 ",..." 20:01 abc giant vs. Hanshin Matsui base arch "and the like are displayed in order of reception time. The registrant 70 can grasp the flow of the game without looking at the text, based on the mail title displayed over time in this manner. Furthermore, since the mail title is automatically generated, quick mail transmission can be realized.
[0040]
<Other Embodiments> The present invention has many embodiments, and various modifications can be made based on the above disclosure. For example, the following is also included.
(1) The system configuration shown in FIG. 1 is an example, and may be appropriately changed so as to achieve the same effect. For example, in the above-described embodiment, registration in the distribution management system 10 is performed using the Web browsing function of the terminal 60 owned by the registrant 70. However, the terminal of the registrant 70 has only the mail transmission / reception function. There may be. In this case, the registrant 70 may make a pre-registration using another Internet connection environment. Also, the relay terminal 84 used at the relay site 80 is not limited to a notebook PC, and a small mobile terminal such as a mobile phone or a PDA may be used. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the relay terminal 84 is provided outside the distribution management system 10. However, if information can be obtained by the distribution management system 10 alone depending on the type of information to be distributed, the relay terminal 84 is not necessarily provided. Is not necessary.
[0041]
(2) The operation and the method of providing detailed information shown in the embodiment are merely examples, and may be changed as needed. Also, a plurality of URLs for viewing detailed information may be prepared according to the content. For example, separate pages for giant fans and Hanshin fans are prepared. The same applies to the provision of detailed information by the telephone service. Further, the provision of the detailed information may be performed with a fixed period. By doing so, even when the registrant 70 cannot confirm the detailed information at a place where he / she is away, the detailed information can be obtained again as soon as time is available.
[0042]
(3) In the above-described embodiment, the relay of a baseball game has been described as an example. However, it is possible to mail-distribute live information on soccer and rugby games, sumo wrestling, and the like. In addition, the present invention is not limited to sports, but can be applied to typhoon information, train delay information, conferences, concerts, horse races, and other items whose status changes over time.
[0043]
(4) The distribution timing in the above embodiment is also an example, and may be changed as needed. For example, when relaying a baseball game as in the above-described embodiment, the progress of the game and the game result before the start of the game (such as the starting member), at the end of each round, at each score, after the game, etc. The email may be delivered to a predetermined time, or may be delivered at predetermined time intervals for events other than baseball.
[0044]
(5) The form of information transmitted to the registrant 70 in the above-described form is not particularly limited. In the above-described embodiment, information in a form described in HTML is transmitted, but information in a form described in various languages such as compact HTML, SGML, and XML may be used. It is also possible to convert the information into a model-dependent form. In this case, the distribution management system 10 may be provided with a function of converting the information into model-dependent information.
[0045]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, the relay information is distributed to the information requesting side every time the real-time information on the event whose situation changes over time is obtained. The intermediate progress regarding the event can be grasped in real time without performing an operation. Further, since the relay information includes access information to the destination of the detailed information, the requesting side can obtain more detailed information based on the access information. Furthermore, since the title given to the relay information distributed to the requesting side represents the main content in the information, the main content of the relay information can be grasped from the title.
