Description

  The present invention relates to a notification device, a terminal device, a notification system, and a notification method.

  Conventionally, the caller telephone number is notified to the receiver's terminal device when an incoming call is received. However, in order to display the user information about the caller on the receiver's terminal device when an incoming call is received, the caller communicates the user information verbally or by mail to the receiver, and the receiver inputs the caller's user information to the terminal device. And it is necessary to register in advance.

Also, when the caller wants to convey user information to the recipient, such as when applying during a call with the operator, the caller conveys the user information to the operator by verbal, mail, or facsimile. In addition, the operator also inputs user information transmitted by oral, mail, or facsimile to the terminal device and registers it. In addition, an apparatus that provides personal information of a user to an information processing apparatus in response to a request from the information processing apparatus has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

For example, the control unit 43 detects position information based on a position record request received by the interface 41 from the mobile devices 10a and 10b. The control unit 43 detects a roaming state based on a roaming-out notification or a roaming-in notification received by the interface 41 from the mobile devices 10a and 10b. Whether the control unit 43 is out of service area or powered off based on the presence or absence of a paging response from the mobile devices 10a and 10b in response to the paging request (simultaneous call) transmitted by the interface 41 and the call state connected to the interface 41. , Detect whether the user is in the service area or a transition from the service area to the service area. The control unit 43 detects whether the call is in progress or in standby based on whether the interface 41 is connected to the call.

  The control unit 43 creates a state notification in which the detected states of the users 1a and 1b are associated with the telephone numbers of the users 1a and 1b and inputs the state notification to the interface 41. The control unit 43 may create a status notification when a change in the status is detected, or may create a status notification periodically. The control unit 43 can detect a change in the state by comparing the detected state with the state stored in the storage unit 42. The control unit 43 stores the detected state in the storage unit 42 in association with the telephone numbers of the users 1a and 1b.

  The management server 20 includes a user information database 21, a reception availability database 22, a network interface 23, a registration unit 24, and a control unit 25. The user information database 21 is user information storage means for storing user information related to the caller. The user information database 21 stores user information to be notified to the receiving terminal device when the users 1a and 1b become senders. The user information database 21 stores user information in association with the telephone numbers of the users 1a and 1b. In the present embodiment, the user information database 21 stores, as user information, a user name (nickname) of a user, a mail address, an address, an image, a state, and music that the user wants to provide to the recipient. Thus, it is preferable that the user information stored in the user information database 21 includes the state of the user who is the caller. According to this, the management server 20 can notify a receiver of the state of the caller as user information of the caller.

  For example, the user information database 21 is associated with the telephone number “090-1111-1111” of the user 1a, and as the user information of the user 1a, the user name “Bob”, the mail address “bob@docomo.ne.jp”, The address “Shinagawa”, the image “image data A” of the face of the user 1a, the music “music data A” that the user 1a wants to provide, and the position information “Shinjuku” as the state are stored. In addition, the user information database 21 is associated with the telephone number “090-2222-2222” of the user 1b, as the user information of the user 1b, the user name “Nancy”, the mail address “Nancy@docomo.ne.jp”, The address “Yokohama”, the image “image data B” of the face of the user 1b, the music “music data B” that the user 1b wants to provide, and the state “meal” are stored.

  The reception availability database 22 is a condition storage unit that stores notification conditions for user information corresponding to the recipient. The reception availability database 22 stores, as a notification condition, whether or not the user information of the sender is received when the users 1a and 1b are receivers. The reception availability database 22 stores the reception availability in association with the telephone numbers of the users 1a and 1b. For example, when the user 1a becomes a receiver in association with the telephone number “090-1111-1111” of the user 1a, the reception availability database 22 indicates that the user information of the sender is “reception NG”. In association with the telephone number “090-2222-2222” of the user 1b, when the user 1b becomes a receiver, the user information of the sender is stored as “reception OK”.

  The network interface 23 communicates with the mobile devices 10 a and 10 b via the exchange 40 and the network 30. The network interface 23 receives the user information registration request and the reception availability notification from the mobile devices 10 a and 10 b and inputs them to the registration unit 24. In this way, the network interface 23 functions as an information receiving unit that receives user information from the calling terminal device and a condition receiving unit that receives notification conditions from the receiving terminal device. The network interface 23 receives the status notification from the exchange 40 and inputs it to the registration unit 24.

  The network interface 23 functions as receiving means for receiving the caller telephone number. The network interface 23 receives the caller telephone number and the receiver telephone number from the calling terminal device via the exchange 40. Specifically, the network interface 23 uses the telephone number of the user 1a transmitted from the mobile station 10a as the caller telephone number from the exchange 40, and the telephone number of the user 1b transmitted from the mobile station 10a as the receiver telephone number. A user information notification request including is received. The network interface 23 inputs the received user information notification request to the control unit 25.

  Furthermore, the network interface 23 functions as a notification means for notifying user information to the receiving terminal device. In FIG. 1, the network interface 23 notifies the user information together with the incoming call to the receiving terminal device. The network interface 23 acquires user information of the user 1a from the control unit 25. Then, the network interface 23 transmits the user information of the user 1a to the mobile device 10b simultaneously with the incoming call to the mobile device 10b according to the instruction of the control unit 25. Thereafter, a call is started between the mobile device 10a and the mobile device 10b. Further, the network interface 23 acquires an instruction related to the incoming call to the exchange 40 from the control unit 25 and transmits the instruction to the exchange 40.

  The network interface 23 receives the user information registration request, the reception permission / inhibition notification, the status notification, and the user information notification request by data communication, and transmits user information and an instruction related to the incoming call by data communication. For example, the network interface 23 transmits user information as USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Services Data) to the mobile device 10b. According to this, even if the management server 20 does not know the mail address of the mobile device 10b, the user information can be notified to the mobile device 10b. The network interface 23 may transmit user information to the mobile device 10b by HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol).

  The registration unit 24 registers user information in the user information database 21. The registration unit 24 acquires a user information registration request from the network interface 23. The registration unit 24 stores the user information included in the user information registration request in the user information database 21 in association with the telephone number included in the user information registration request. In addition, the registration unit 24 registers whether or not user information can be received in the reception availability database 21. The registration unit 24 acquires a reception permission notification from the network interface 23. The registration unit 24 stores the reception availability included in the reception availability notification in the reception availability database 22 in association with the telephone number included in the reception availability notification.

  In addition, the registration unit 24, when the telephone number included in the acquired user information registration request and the reception availability notification is already registered in the user information database 21 and the reception availability database 22, whether or not new user information or reception is possible. Are stored in the user information database 21 or the reception availability database 22 and updated. When the registration unit 24 acquires a user information registration request including only user information that needs to be updated, only the user information that needs to be updated may be newly stored in the user information database 21 and updated.

  Also, the registration unit 24 acquires a status notification from the network interface 23. The registration unit 24 stores the state included in the state notification in the user information database 21 in association with the telephone number included in the state notification. At this time, for example, the registration unit 24 stores the state included in the state notification from the exchange 40 only when the state based on the user information registration request from the mobile devices 10a and 10b is not stored. You may make it give priority to the notification of the state from 1a, 1b. The registration unit 24 may store both the state included in the user information registration request and the state included in the state notification in the user information database 21 in parallel. Further, when the telephone number included in the status notification is not in the user information database 21, the registration unit 24 does not store the status, and the status notification from the exchange 40 indicates that the user who has already registered the user information. It may be used only for updating user information.

  The control unit 25 is an acquisition unit that acquires user information from the user information storage unit based on the caller telephone number received by the reception unit. The control unit 25 also functions as a notification control unit that controls the notification of user information performed by the notification unit based on the user information notification condition corresponding to the recipient. First, the control unit 25 confirms whether or not user information can be received for the recipient. Specifically, the control unit 25 searches the reception availability database 22 based on the recipient telephone number included in the user information notification request.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the control unit 25 indicates that the reception permission registered in association with the recipient telephone number “090-2222-2222” is “reception OK”, and the user 1b who is the recipient If the user information is desired to be received, the user information database 21 is searched based on the caller telephone number included in the user information notification request. And the control part 25 acquires the user information of the user 1a who is a sender | caller from the user information database 21. FIG. The control unit 25 inputs the acquired user information to the network interface 23 and instructs it to be transmitted to the mobile device 10b simultaneously with the incoming call. Further, the control unit 25 inputs an incoming call instruction to the mobile station 10 b for the exchange 40 to the network interface 23.

  On the other hand, as in the case where the receiver is the user 1a, the control unit 25 receives “Reception NG” as the reception possibility registered in association with the receiver telephone number “090-1111-1111”. If the user does not wish to receive the user information, only an instruction for receiving an incoming call to the mobile station 10 a for the exchange 40 is input to the network interface 23.

  In this way, in the management server 20, the control unit 25 functions as a notification control unit. Therefore, the management server 20 can notify appropriate user information for each recipient. In particular, since the control unit 25 uses whether or not user information can be received as a notification condition, the management server 20 can notify the user information only to a recipient who wishes to receive the user information.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the management server 20 may notify the user information before the incoming call to the receiving terminal device. Specifically, the control unit 25 of the management server 20 inputs the acquired user information to the network interface 23 and instructs to transmit it to the mobile device 10b before the incoming call. The network interface 23 transmits user information to the mobile device 10b before receiving a call.

  The user 1b determines whether or not an incoming call is possible based on the user information received by the communication unit 11 of the mobile device 10b. Then, when the user 1b permits the incoming call, the user 1b performs an operation of permitting the incoming call to the input unit 12 of the mobile device 10b. For example, as an operation for permitting incoming calls, the user 1b performs an operation for setting a call state or an input of contents indicating permission for incoming calls. When the control unit 16 of the mobile device 10b acquires the operation content of the incoming call permission from the input unit 12, the control unit 16 inputs a permission notice for notifying the management server 20 of the incoming call permission to the communication unit 11. Then, the communication unit 11 of the mobile device 10b transmits a permission notice to the management server 20 by data communication.

  The network interface 23 of the management server 20 receives the permission notification by data communication and inputs it to the control unit 25. When the control unit 25 acquires the permission notification, the control unit 25 inputs an incoming call instruction to the mobile device 10 b to the exchange 40 to the network interface 23. On the other hand, the control unit 25 inputs an instruction to cancel the incoming call to the exchange 40 to the network interface 23 if the permission notice cannot be received from the mobile device 10b even after a predetermined time has elapsed. The network interface 23 transmits an incoming call or incoming call stop instruction to the exchange 40.

  The control unit 43 of the exchange 40 instructs the interface 41 to stop the incoming call or the incoming call based on the incoming call or incoming call stop instruction received by the interface 41. The interface 41 causes the mobile device 10b to receive a call from the mobile device 10a according to an instruction from the control unit 43, or cancels the call from the mobile device 10a without receiving the call. After the incoming call, a call is started between the mobile device 10a and the mobile device 10b.

  When the user 1b does not permit the incoming call, the user 1b inputs content indicating rejection of the incoming call from the input unit 12 of the mobile device 10b, and the control unit 16 of the mobile device 10b notifies the management server 20 of the rejection of the incoming call. A rejection notice may be input to the communication unit 11. Then, the communication unit 11 of the mobile device 10 b may transmit a rejection notification to the management server 20. In this case, the control unit 25 of the management server 20 inputs an incoming call cancellation instruction to the exchange 40 to the network interface 23 when receiving an incoming call rejection from the mobile device 10b.

Is output to the output unit 14. The music data A is also output to the output unit 14 such as a speaker of the mobile device 10b.

(Notification method)
As shown in FIG. 1, a procedure of a notification method when notifying user information at the same time as an incoming call will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, the mobile device 10a serving as the transmission terminal device transmits a user information registration request to the management server 20 (S101). Based on the user information registration request, the management server 20 stores and registers the user information of the user 1a of the mobile device 10a in the user information database 21 (S102). In addition, the mobile device 10b serving as a receiving terminal device transmits a reception availability notification to the management server 20 (S103). The management server 20 stores and registers in the reception availability database 22 whether or not the user 1b of the mobile device 10b wishes to receive user information based on the reception availability notification (S104). Note that the step (S102) is performed for the case where the mobile device 10b is also a transmission terminal device, and the step (S103) is performed for the case where the mobile device 10a is also a reception terminal device. Through such steps (S101) to (S104), pre-registration for performing notification of user information is performed.

  After the pre-registration, when the mobile station 10a sends a call to the mobile station 10b (S105), the exchange 40 sets the caller telephone number and receiver telephone number included in the call transmitted from the mobile station 10a to the mobile station 10b. A user information notification request including the request is created and transmitted to the management server 20 (S106). The management server 20 searches the reception availability database 22 based on the telephone number of the user 1b, which is the recipient telephone number included in the user information notification request, and confirms whether user information can be received for the user 1b (S107). . When the user 1b who is the recipient desires to receive the user information, the management server 20 uses the user information database based on the telephone number of the user 1a which is the caller telephone number included in the user information notification request. 21 is searched (S108).

  And the management server 20 acquires the user information of the user 1a who is a caller from the user information database 21, and transmits and notifies the acquired user information to the mobile device 10b at the same time as the incoming call (S109). Together with the step (S109), the management server 20 instructs the exchange 40 to receive an incoming call to the mobile station 10b (S110), and the exchange 40 sends the call from the mobile station 10a to the mobile station according to the incoming call instruction from the management server 20. An incoming call is made to 10b (S111). That is, the management server 20 performs step (S109) simultaneously with step (S111). Thereafter, the mobile device 10a and the mobile device 10b start a voice communication call.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 2, a procedure of a notification method when user information is notified before an incoming call will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, steps (S201) to (S208) are performed. Steps (S201) to (S208) are the same as steps (S101) to (S108) shown in FIG.

  After the step (S208), the management server 20 acquires the user information of the user 1a who is the caller from the user information database 21, and transmits the acquired user information to the mobile device 10b before receiving the call (S209). ). The user 1b who is the receiver determines whether or not the incoming call can be made based on the user information of the user 1a received by the mobile device 10b. When the user 1b permits an incoming call, the user 1b performs an incoming call permission operation such as an operation for setting a call state. Then, the mobile device 10b that has received the user operation transmits a permission notice to the management server 20 (S210). The management server 20 that has received the permission notification instructs the exchange 40 to receive an incoming call to the mobile device 10b (S211), and the exchange 40 sends a call from the mobile device 10a to the mobile device 10b according to the incoming call instruction from the management server 20. (S212). Thereafter, the mobile device 10a and the mobile device 10b start a voice communication call.

(effect)
According to the management server 20, the notification system 100, and the notification method, user information regarding the caller can be registered in the user information database 21 of the management server 20 in advance. Further, the management server 20 receives the caller telephone number, and acquires the user information of the user 1a who is the caller from the user information database 21 based on the caller telephone number. Then, the management server 20 can notify the acquired user information of the user 1a to the mobile device 10b that is a receiving terminal device. Therefore, the management server 20 can notify the receiver of the user information of the caller and improve the convenience of the caller and the receiver.

  That is, the mobile device 10a sends a call to the mobile device 10b and notifies the management server 20 of the caller telephone number, and the management server 20 notifies the mobile device 10b of the user information of the user 1a. be able to. Therefore, for example, the mobile device 10a is notified of the mail address of the user 1a only by transmitting to the mobile device 10b. Therefore, even if the user 1b who is the recipient cannot receive the mail address verbally from the user 1a, the mobile device 10b can receive the user information from the management server 20 to transmit the mail to the mobile device 10a. it can.

  When the user information of the user 1a is changed, the user 1a does not need to convey the changed user information to each user by verbal or e-mail, and updates the user information registered in the management server 20. Just do it. After the update, the management server 20 notifies the changed user information when each user's mobile device becomes a receiving terminal device. Therefore, the user 1a can easily notify each user of changes in user information. Furthermore, the mobile device 10b that has received the user information can store the received user information in the storage unit 15 and register it. Therefore, the user 1b can omit the work of inputting and registering the user information of the user 1a into the mobile device 10b.

  Furthermore, the network interface 23 notifies the user information of the user 1a to the mobile device 10b at the same time as or before the incoming call to the mobile device 10b which is a receiving terminal device. Therefore, the user 1a can notify the user 1b of user information when an incoming call is received. Then, the output unit 14 of the mobile device 10b that has received the user information outputs the received user information. Therefore, even if the user 1b does not register the user information of the user 1a in the mobile device 10b in advance, the user 1b can know the detailed user information of the user 1a at the time of the incoming call before the call. Furthermore, in the case before the incoming call, the user 1b can use the user information of the user 1a as a material for determining whether or not the incoming call can be received.

  Further, according to the mobile devices 10a and 10b, user information can be notified to the management server 20 and the user information can be registered in the management server 20. Then, the mobile device 10a sends a call to the mobile device 10b to notify the management server 20 of the caller telephone number via the exchange 40, and causes the management server 20 to notify the mobile device 10b of the user information.

  The management server 220 includes a user information database 221, a destination information database 222, a network interface 223, a registration unit 224, and a control unit 225. In the present embodiment, the user information database 221 stores the user name (real name), mail address, address, gender, date of birth, and password of the user as user information. For example, the user information database 221 is associated with the telephone number “090-3333-3333” of the user 201a, and as the user information of the user 201a, the user name “Yuriko Sato” and the mail address “sato@docomo.ne.jp”. , The address “Konan-ku, Yokohama-shi”, gender “female”, date of birth “January 31, 1972” and password “abcd” are stored.

  The destination information database 222 is a condition storage unit that stores user information notification conditions according to the recipient. The destination information database 222 stores a destination address of user information desired by the recipient and a notification format of user information as notification conditions. The destination information database 222 stores a destination address and a notification format of user information in association with a telephone number of a user such as the operator 201b as a recipient. For example, the destination information database 222 is associated with the telephone number “03-1111-1111” of the operator 201b and a destination address “center@docomo.ne.jp” that the operator 201b desires to transmit a packet including user information. The notification format “format data A” of the user information desired by the operator 201b is stored.

  The network interface 223 communicates with the mobile device 210a and the terminal device 210b via the network 30. The network interface 223 receives the destination information registration request from the terminal device 210b and inputs it to the registration unit 224. In this way, the network interface 223 functions as a condition receiving unit that receives notification conditions from the receiving terminal device. Further, the network interface 223 receives the information notification approval from the mobile device 210 a and inputs it to the control unit 225. The network interface 223 receives from the mobile device 210a an information notification approval including the telephone number of the user 201a as the caller telephone number and the telephone number of the operator 201b as the receiver telephone number. In this way, the network interface 223 functions as receiving means for receiving the caller telephone number.

  Furthermore, the network interface 223 notifies the user information of the user 201a to the terminal device 210b. In FIG. 6, the network interface 223 notifies the user information during communication between the receiving terminal device and the transmitting terminal device. Specifically, the network interface 223 acquires user information of the user 201a from the control unit 225. Then, according to the instruction from the control unit 225, the network interface 223 uses the user information of the user 201a during the call between the telephone 210c as the receiving terminal device and the mobile device 210a as the transmitting terminal device. It transmits to the terminal device 210b which is one receiving terminal device. In this way, the network interface 223 functions as a notification unit that notifies the receiving terminal device of user information.

  The network interface 223 receives an information notification approval and a destination information registration request through data communication, and transmits user information through data communication. For example, the network interface 223 transmits user information as a packet including the user information to the terminal device 210b. The network interface 223 is the same as the network interface 23 shown in FIG. 1 except for these points.

  The registration unit 224 registers the destination information of the user information desired by the recipient and the notification format of the user information in the destination information database 222 as notification conditions. The registration unit 224 acquires a destination information registration request from the network interface 223. The registration unit 224 stores the destination address and notification format included in the destination information registration request in the destination information database 222 in association with the telephone number included in the destination information registration request. When the telephone number included in the acquired destination information registration request is already registered in the destination information database 222, the registration unit 224 stores the new notification condition in the destination information database 222 and updates it. The registration unit 224 is the same as the registration unit 24 shown in FIG. 1 except for these points.

  When acquiring the information notification approval from the network interface 223, the control unit 225 first authenticates the caller. The control unit 225 searches the user information database 221 based on the caller telephone number included in the information notification approval. The control unit 225 compares the password included in the information notification approval with the password “abcd” registered in association with the caller telephone number “090-3333-3333”. It is determined that the user who has transmitted the information notification approval is the user 201a.

  In this case, the control unit 225 searches the destination information database 222 based on the recipient telephone number included in the information notification approval. Then, the control unit 225 acquires the destination address and notification format desired by the operator 201b as the receiver from the destination information database 222. Next, the control unit 225 searches the user information database 221 based on the caller telephone number included in the information notification approval. And the control part 225 acquires the user information of the user 201a who is a sender | caller from the user information database 221. FIG. The control unit 225 converts the acquired user information into the acquired notification format. Further, the control unit 225 creates a packet including user information in the converted notification format and having the acquired destination address as a transmission destination. The control unit 225 inputs the created packet including the user information to the network interface 223, and instructs the terminal device 210b to transmit the packet during a call between the mobile device 210a and the telephone 210c.

  On the other hand, when the password included in the information notification approval does not match the password registered in association with the caller telephone number, the control unit 225 determines that the user who has transmitted the information notification approval is the user 201a. Judge that is not. In this case, the control unit 225 creates a notification that the user information cannot be notified to the operator 201b, and transmits the notification to the mobile device to which the network interface 23 has transmitted the information notification approval.

  In this way, the control unit 225 functions as an acquisition unit that acquires user information from the user information storage unit based on the caller telephone number received by the reception unit. The control unit 225 also functions as a notification control unit that controls the notification of user information performed by the notification unit based on the user information notification condition according to the recipient. Therefore, the management server 220 can notify appropriate user information for each recipient. In particular, the control unit 225 uses a destination address of user information desired by the receiver and a notification format of user information as notification conditions. Therefore, the management server 220 can notify the user information to the destination address desired by the recipient by controlling the notification destination of the user information. In addition, the management server 220 can notify user information in a notification format desired by the recipient. Further, the control unit 225 specifies a destination address desired by the recipient based on the recipient telephone number. Therefore, the management server 220 only needs to receive the recipient telephone number, and can notify the user information to the destination address desired by the recipient without receiving the destination address.

(Notification method)
As shown in FIG. 6, the procedure of a notification method when notifying user information to the terminal device 210c during a call between the mobile device 210a and the telephone 210c will be described. As illustrated in FIG. 7, the mobile device 210a serving as a transmission terminal device transmits a user information registration request to the management server 220 (S301). Based on the user information registration request, the management server 220 stores and registers the user information of the user 201a of the mobile device 210a in the user information database 221 (S302). Further, the terminal device 210b serving as the receiving terminal device transmits a destination information registration request to the management server 220 (S303). Based on the destination information registration request, the management server 220 stores and registers the destination address and notification format of the user information desired by the operator 201b using the terminal device 210b in the destination information database 222 (S304). Through such steps (S301) to (S304), pre-registration for notification of user information is performed.

  After the pre-registration, when the mobile device 210a makes a call to the telephone 210c (S305), the exchange 40 causes the telephone 210c to receive a call sent from the mobile device 210a to the telephone 210b (S306). Then, the mobile device 210a and the telephone 210c start a voice communication call. Thereafter, steps (S307) to (S310) are performed during a call between the mobile device 210a and the telephone 210c. For example, when the user 201a applies by telephone and the operator 201b notifies the user information such as the name and address, the user 201a is determined to push the user information when approving the notification. Press the key. The mobile device 210a that has received the user operation transmits an information notification approval to the management server 220 (S307).

  The management server 220 compares the password included in the information notification approval with the password registered in the user information database 221 to authenticate the caller. When it is determined that the user who has transmitted the information notification approval is the user 201a, the management server 220 searches the destination information database 222 based on the recipient telephone number included in the information notification approval. The management server 220 acquires the destination address and notification format desired by the operator 201b from the destination information database 222 (S308).

  Next, the management server 220 searches the user information database 221 based on the caller telephone number included in the information notification approval. The management server 220 acquires the user information of the user 201a from the user information database 221 and converts it into the acquired notification format. Then, the management server 220 creates a packet including the user information in the converted notification format and having the acquired destination address as the transmission destination (S309). During a call between the mobile device 210a and the telephone 210c, the management server 220 transmits the created packet to the terminal device 210b and notifies the user information of the user 201a (S310). Then, the operator 201b receiving the user information notifies the user 201a that the user information has been received by the user 201a.

(effect)
According to the management server 220, the notification system 200, and the notification method, the user information of the caller is notified to the receiver as in the first embodiment, and the convenience of the caller and the receiver is improved. Can be made. Furthermore, the management server 220 can notify the user information of the user 201a to the terminal device 210b during a call between the mobile device 210a that is a transmission terminal device and the telephone 210c that is a reception terminal device.

  Therefore, for example, when the user 201a needs to notify the operator 201b of user information during a call between the mobile device 210a and the telephone 210c, the user 201a can easily approve notification of user information such as pressing a specific key. Only by performing the operation, the management server 220 can notify the user information of the user 201a to the terminal device 210b. Therefore, the user 201a can easily notify the user information to the operator 201b when necessary according to the negotiation by the telephone call.

  The terminal device 210b that has received the user information can store the received user information as customer data in a storage means such as a database and register it. In addition, since the user information is notified in a notification format desired by the operator 201b, the user information can be registered as it is without any modification by the operator 201b. Therefore, on the operator 201b side, operation for registering customer data can be reduced, and labor costs can be reduced.

  Also, according to the mobile device 210a, by sending an information approval notification to the management server 220, the caller telephone number is notified to the management server 220 via the network 30, and the user information is sent to the management server 220 as a terminal. The device 210b can be notified.

[Example of change]
The present invention is not limited to the first and second embodiments, and various modifications can be made. For example, the management servers 20 and 220 may use the user information databases 321 and 421 shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 as the user information database. The user information databases 321 and 421 store user name (real name and nickname), mail address, address, image, music, date of birth, and status as user information. Furthermore, the user information databases 321 and 421 store notification conditions and function as condition storage means.

  The user information databases 321 and 421 store the types of user information that the sender desires to be notified to each recipient as the user information notification conditions corresponding to the recipient. In the first and second embodiments, the notification condition is desired by the receiver, but may be the notification condition desired by the caller. The user information database 321 stores the type of user information to be notified for each telephone number of the user who is the recipient in association with the telephone number of the user. For example, in the case of the user information database 321, when a user with a telephone number “090-1111-1111” becomes a caller, a recipient with a telephone number “090-2222-2222” is registered in the user information database 321. I want to notify all user information. In addition, when the user of the telephone number “090-2222-2222” is the caller, he / she wishes to notify the receiver of the telephone number “090-1111-1111” of the nickname and the mail address. The recipient of “090-3333-3333” is requested to notify his / her real name and mail address.

  Further, a combination of types of user information to be notified and identification data for identifying the combination may be determined in advance. As identification data, a combination name or code can be used. For example, a combination and a name such as “friend” for notifying all user information, “application” for notifying the real name, e-mail address, address, date of birth, and “work” for notifying the real name and e-mail address are defined. And the control parts 25 and 225 memorize | store the correlation with identification data and the combination of the kind of user information which the identification data shows. The user information database 421 stores identification data for each telephone number of the user who is the recipient in association with the telephone number of the user.

  For example, in the case of the user information database 421, when a user with a telephone number “090-1111-1111” is a caller, a combination name “friend” is given to a recipient with a telephone number “090-2222-2222”. I would like to be notified of the types of user information shown. When the user of the telephone number “090-2222-2222” is the caller, the receiver of the telephone number “03-1111-1111” is notified of the user information of the type indicated by the combination name “application”. It is hoped that the recipient of the telephone number “090-3333-3333” is notified of the type of user information indicated by the combination name “work”.

  When the user information database 321 is used, the control units 25 and 225 obtain the user information of the type that the caller wishes to notify the receiver based on the caller telephone number and the receiver telephone number, and the network interface 23 and 223. When the user information database 421 is used, the control units 25 and 225 first identify based on the caller telephone number and the receiver telephone number, the combination of the types of user information that the caller wishes to notify the recipient. Data is acquired from the user information database 421. The control units 25 and 225 specify a combination of types of user information indicated by the acquired identification data. Then, based on the identified combination, the control units 25 and 225 acquire the user information of the type that the caller wants to notify the receiver and input it to the network interfaces 23 and 223. As a result, the management servers 20 and 220 can notify the receiving terminal device of only the type of user information that the caller wants to be notified in accordance with the receiver.

  The mobile devices 10a, 10b, and 210a associate, as notification conditions, the types of user information or identification data that the user wants to receive when becoming a caller with the management server 20 and 220 in association with the telephone number of the user who is the recipient. Notice. For example, the mobile devices 10a, 10b, and 210a notify the management servers 20 and 220 by sending a user information registration request including the type of user information or identification data associated with the telephone number of the user who is the recipient. it can. When registering user information based on a user information registration request, the registration units 24 and 224 of the management servers 20 and 220 store the notification conditions in the user information databases 321 and 421 and register them.

  The management servers 20 and 220 may use the type of user information desired by the recipient as the notification condition. Further, the management server 220 may use a destination address or a notification format desired by the caller as a notification condition. Furthermore, the management server 20 may use whether or not user information can be notified as a notification condition. In this case, the management server 20 includes a notification availability database that stores the availability of notification of user information. The notification availability database stores, for each telephone number of the user serving as the receiver, whether or not the user serving as the sender desires notification of user information in association with the telephone number of the user serving as the sender. Based on the caller telephone number and the receiver telephone number, the control unit 25 determines whether the user information can be notified to the receiver, and notifies the user information. As a result, the management server 20 can notify the user information only to the receiver whose sender wants to notify the user information.

  In addition, when the mobile devices 10a and 10b make a call, a specific number indicating a request for notification of user information to the receiving terminal device is given to the recipient telephone number, or the user information is rejected to the receiving terminal device. It is also possible to make a call by giving a specific telephone number to the recipient telephone number. In this case, the control unit 25 of the management server 20 determines whether or not to notify user information based on a specific number assigned to the recipient telephone number, and notifies the user information.

  Furthermore, the management servers 20 and 220 may be provided with a billing unit that performs billing by notification of user information. When the accounting unit inputs user information from the control units 25 and 225 to the network interfaces 23 and 223 to instruct notification of user information, the accounting unit receives notification of the caller telephone number. Then, the charging unit charges a notification fee for the caller telephone number that has received the notification.

  Further, the management server 220 may notify the terminal device 210b that the user information notification is ready after creating the packet including the user information. Then, the terminal device 210b that receives the notification may request the management server 220 to notify the user information, and the management server 220 may notify the user information to the terminal device 210b. Further, the management server 220 may notify the user information to the terminal device 210b during data communication between the mobile device 210a and the terminal device 210b.
