FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of the method. Hereinafter, the method will be described for each step with reference to FIGS.
In the embodiment described below, A (information search requester) accesses the server 1 because he wants to obtain (see) B (search partner) information. (S1-4), and then B wants to obtain (see) the information of C (search partner) and accesses the server 1 as a new information search requester (S5-12). Will be described.
[0032]
First, the server 1 receives search request information that A inputs from the terminal 2, that is, personal information of A and B, and “communication level” of A with B desired by S (S 1), and searches for such information. It is stored in the request information storage unit 12 (S2).
[0033]
Specifically, a home page (hereinafter referred to as “HP”) is provided in the server 1 connected to the Internet, and A, an information search requester, accesses the HP from a terminal 2 connected to the Internet.
FIG. 3 is an example of a Web page for performing user authentication. A user ID and a password are input from the “logon screen”. If the input data is correct, a “menu screen” shown in FIG. 4 is activated.
[0034]
When A accesses the server 1 for the first time or when there is a change in the registered items, the user selects “user basic information registration / change” from the menu screen shown in FIG. 4 to activate the basic information search screen shown in FIG. . Next, A inputs his / her name, date of birth, gender, and the like. Further, in order to register the related information, the user presses the “next page” button at the bottom of the screen and inputs the related information about the user.
As the related information, for example, maiden name, current address, old address, current telephone number, old telephone number, school of origin, nickname, e-mail address, etc. are assumed. The possibility of matching can be improved.
[0035]
Next, from the search partner information registration (acceptance) screen shown in FIG. 6, the personal information of the search partner B, such as name, nickname, home school, blood type, etc., is input. For these pieces of information, the possibility of matching with B can be improved by inputting more information.
[0036]
The input items of the personal information of the information search requester and the search partner are not limited to the input items set in advance, and the information search requester may be able to arbitrarily add the input items.
In the personal information items, which item to input is arbitrary by the information search requester, but for the items not input by the information search requester, the personal information of the search partner is stored in the server 1. However, even if the information is stored in the storage device, information on such an item cannot be obtained. As a result, the information search requester selects the input items, thereby simultaneously selecting the personal information of the search partner desired to obtain.
In the present invention, among the personal information of the search partner stored in the server 1, items that have not been input by the information search requester may be presented to the information search requester.
[0037]
Next, when a "next page" button at the bottom of the screen is pressed, a communication level registration (acceptance) screen shown in FIG. 7 is activated, and "communication level" is input. As the "communication level", e-mail, telephone, meeting, etc. are set in advance in ascending order of disclosure level, and A selects and inputs "communication level" with B desired by himself.
It should be noted that, besides the preset “communication level”, if there is another “communication level” desired by the information search requester, such as an image chat, for example, this may be input.
[0038]
Next, the server 1 searches the search request information storage unit 12 based on the input search request information (S3), compares it with the registered personal information, and then transmits the search result information to A. (S4), and the contents are displayed. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a Web page on which the server 1 displays the search result information, and shows a case where the search partner B has not been registered.
[0039]
As the search result information when B is not registered, as shown in FIG. 8, a message notifying that the user has not been registered and an option as to whether or not to contact when B is registered are displayed.
Here, in order to improve the possibility of matching with B, personal information of A or B may be further added.
If there is another search requester who has B as a search partner, the history of the search requester may be displayed.
As a method of notifying A when B is registered later, a method of transmitting an e-mail to the registered e-mail address, a display when A connects to the server 1 again, and the like are assumed. You.
[0040]
Therefore, as a result of transmitting the search request information (S1), the information search requester A receives the Web page on which the search result information is posted as shown in FIG.
[0041]
Next, in steps S1 to S4, an example will be described in which B, which is a search partner, wants to be an information search requester and obtain information on C.
[0042]
The server 1 receives search request information on C as a search partner from B as an information search requester (S5), and stores such information in the search request information storage unit 12 (S6).
Specifically, B accesses the HP from the terminal 3 connected to the Internet, and inputs a user ID and a password from the “logon screen” shown in FIG. If the input data is correct, a menu screen shown in FIG. 4 is activated.
[0043]
When B selects "user basic information registration / change" from the menu screen, the basic information search screen shown in FIG. 5 is activated. B inputs his / her name, date of birth, gender, and the like. When registering related information, the user presses "next page" at the bottom of the screen and inputs related information about the user.
[0044]
Next, from the search partner information registration (reception) screen shown in FIG. 6, personal information such as the name, nickname, home school, blood type, etc. of the search partner C is input, and the communication level registration (reception) screen shown in FIG. Selects and inputs the "communication level" with C desired by B.
[0045]
Next, the server 1 searches the search request information storage unit 12 based on the input search request information (S7), compares it with the registered personal information, and then transmits the search result information to B. (S8) and display the contents.
If the search partner C has not been registered, a message notifying that the search partner C has not been registered and a message indicating whether or not the user wants to be contacted when C has been registered are displayed as search result information, as shown in FIG. Is done.
[0047]
Here, as described in steps 1 to 4 above, since B has already been registered as a search partner by A in the server 1, search result information shown in FIG. You.
[0048]
In the search result information shown in FIG. 9, a message indicating that A is registered as B as a search partner, a “communication level” desired by A, and an option of whether to contact search partner A are displayed. You.
[0049]
Next, the server 1 receives the disclosure request information about A from B (S9), compares the information with the personal information of A stored in the search request information storage unit 12, and makes the disclosure level determination unit 16 The disclosure level is determined (S10).
[0050]
Specifically, if B has no intention to communicate with A, that is, if “not contact” is selected and transmitted to the server 1 on the search result information screen shown in FIG. The request information is stored in the request information storage unit 12, and when A accesses the server 1 next, the fact that B has no intention to communicate with A is displayed as search result information.
In the present invention, when B does not intend to communicate with A, the time when the server 1 presents the fact to A may be determined, for example, immediately after the server 1 receives the fact from B. Alternatively, an e-mail indicating the fact may be sent to A and presented.
[0051]
On the other hand, if B has a will to communicate with A, that is, if “contact” is selected and transmitted to the server 1 on the search result information screen shown in FIG. The request information registration (acceptance) screen is displayed. The “communication level” to be input on the disclosure request information registration (reception) screen is the same as the item input on the search request information reception screen shown in FIG.
[0052]
Next, a message to be sent to A is input and transmitted from the screen shown in FIG.
[0053]
Next, in order to confirm the “communication level” between A and B, each “communication level” is displayed as shown in FIG. Looking at such a display, B can change the “communication level” to adapt to the “communication level” of A.
[0054]
When the “communication level” input by B and the “communication level” registered by A are the same, the “communication level” that matches B is determined as the disclosure level.
On the other hand, if the “communication level” input by B is different from the “communication level” registered by A, a lower level “communication level” is determined as the disclosure level for B.
[0055]
In this way, by determining the disclosure level according to the communication level desired by each other, communication can be achieved stepwise in consideration of mutual intimacy and various circumstances. In addition, by determining the disclosure level to be lower, no more information than both parties desire to disclose is disclosed.
[0056]
When the disclosure level is determined, the determined “communication level” is displayed together with the message from A, as shown in FIG. Further, as shown in FIG. 14, personal information corresponding to the "communication level" is also presented (S11). Similarly, B's personal information according to the communication level is also presented to A (S12).
The personal information to be disclosed is set in the server 1 in advance for each “communication level” as shown in FIG.
In the present invention, the time at which the server 1 discloses each other's personal information to A and B is not limited to the example shown in FIG. I do not care.
Also, the disclosed personal information set for each communication level may be set to A or B itself instead of being set in the server 1 in advance.
[0057]
In the example shown in FIG. 15, in the mail exchange at the communication level 1, the e-mail address is the required disclosure information, for the telephone at the communication level 2, the telephone number is the required disclosure information, and in the mail exchange at the communication level 3, The address is required disclosure information. Other information can be set arbitrarily. However, information on items not entered by the user cannot be disclosed even if the information of the search partner is registered. Items must be entered in advance.
[0058]
Therefore, the information search requester B receives at the terminal 3 a Web page on which the extracted search result information is posted as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 as a result of transmitting the search request information (S5). Become.
[0059]
According to the embodiment described above, the information search requester determines the mutual disclosure level in accordance with the communication level selected by each in relation to the search partner who wants to know the information, Disclosure can be made.
As a result, it is possible to perform information disclosure in accordance with the mutual relationship, that is, the degree of intimacy and confidentiality, and it is also possible to change the disclosure level in stages as needed.
[0060]
The information terminals 2 and 3 described in the above embodiment may be connected to the server 1 using a personal computer or the like, or may be used in a place where many people gather, such as a public hall or a restaurant. The installed information terminal may be connected to the server 1.
[0061]
In the embodiment described above, the search request information is the personal information of the search requester and the personal information of the search partner, and the “communication level” that the information search requester desires for the search partner. However, the present invention can be applied not only to personal information but also to general information widely, so that it can be applied to a stepwise disclosure system between information holders having mutual access rights.
[0062]
【The invention's effect】
