Description

  The present invention relates to a technology for publishing a user-input message to other users, and more particularly to a technology for controlling the publication time.

  In a system for transmitting a message to other users such as an electronic mail or an electronic bulletin board, an error in the message is often pointed out by a sender or a receiver.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing problems in this situation. In the figure, first, a caller 300 performs message transmission 302 using an electronic mail or other message transmission system. The message is, for example, a guide to an announcement exhibition of a newly developed product. The customer 304 as an external transmission destination, the director 306 as an internal transmission destination, the direct manager 308, the department head 310, and the same work group in the company Group members 312 and colleagues 314 are simultaneously transmitted. Here, it is assumed that the group member 312, which is one of the recipients, notices an error in the e-mail that “it is wrong (318)”. However, at this time, a message with a typographical error has already reached all destinations. Therefore, the corrected message must be sent to everyone again, and the customer 304 or the like may be inconvenienced due to an error.

  Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-228561 discloses a technology that reserves transmission for a certain time when an e-mail is transmitted, and that can cancel the transmission when the email is being retained. However, with this technique, the pending message remains only in the hands of the sender, and for example, there is no opportunity for a third party to notice an error in the message in the e-mail.

  Patent Document 2 listed below describes a technique for canceling an e-mail that has not yet arrived at a recipient, or an e-mail that has already arrived but is in an unread state. The cancellation is performed by sending a “deletion instruction” mail later and deleting the unread message in the mail server or mail client of the recipient. For this reason, it is necessary to modify the mail system of the other party (recipient), and this is an obstacle when introducing this system for a wide range (large number) of users. In addition, unreachable or unread e-mail depends only on the physical network path or the recipient's behavior, and there is an opportunity for a third party to notice an error in the e-mail message. Absent.

  The technology described in Patent Document 3 below gives a time for reserving a posted message for a specified period on an electronic bulletin board. After a certain period of time, a part of the message such as a title is released as a notice to a third party. However, with this technique, the retained message only stays with the sender and does not provide an opportunity for a third party to notice an error during this time.

  In Patent Document 4 below, when a message is posted on an electronic bulletin board system, the system uses a keyword or the like to notify the administrator that there is an inappropriate message or delete the message. It is written. However, there is a limit to the check function of the system, and it is not always possible to accurately check for errors in content and inappropriate expressions.

JP 2003-157216 A JP 2001-350705 A JP 2003-281037 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-076640

  In the techniques described in Patent Documents 1 to 4, as described above, there is no description that a third party corrects an input message. For this reason, when a third party notices an error in a message, all users have received or browsed the message, and erroneous or inappropriate descriptions will have a wide adverse effect.

  An object of the present invention is to realize a technique that allows a third party to confirm and correct an error or inappropriate description of a message before the message input by the user is disclosed to all users.

  Another object of the present invention is to realize a new technique for sequentially browsing inputted messages from users with high priority.

  The message publication control program according to the present invention sets, for a computer, a reception procedure for accepting a message input by a user and information of a plurality of users to be disclosed, and a message publication delay time for the plurality of users. A procedure for setting a public delay time different from that for other users to a certain user and a public procedure for sequentially publishing messages to corresponding users according to the set public delay time. Let

  A computer is a device that operates by controlling hardware having an arithmetic function by software (program). An example of a computer is a PC (personal computer). The message publication control program controls the operation of the computer to execute a reception procedure, a setting procedure, a publication procedure, and the like, and causes the computer to function as a device that performs message publication control.

  In the reception procedure, a message input based on a user instruction is received. The message is information transmitted to other users, and the data is typically text data, but may be in a data format (such as an attached file) such as word processing software or an image file. The user input may be performed from an input device such as a keyboard attached to the computer, or may be performed from another computer connected to the computer. In the reception procedure, information about a plurality of users to be disclosed messages is further received. This information may be explicitly specified by user input, or may be a standard value determined according to the input mode of the message without being explicitly specified by the user. .

  In the setting procedure, a message publication delay time is set for a user to be published. The publication delay time is information that determines how much the publication of a message to the user is delayed. For example, the public delay time may be explicitly given by user input, or may be given a fixed value or dynamically calculated according to the setting. Some users are given different public delay times than others. In other words, each user is given one of the public delay times set in the two or more stages. One of the plurality of publication delay times may be one that does not delay (publish immediately). The setting procedure (setting the public delay time for each user) may be performed prior to the reception procedure.

  In the publication procedure, a message is published to each user according to the set publication delay time. Therefore, a message is released to some users at a different timing from other users. Here, “publishing a message” means enabling a user to be published to read a message. The message may be published, for example, by sending the message to the user or allowing the user access to the message.

  According to this configuration, a message input by the user is disclosed to the user to be disclosed at a multistage timing. Therefore, an operation of publishing a message early to a user with a high priority and publishing a message with a delay to a user with a low priority can be easily performed. Moreover, it becomes easy to control the disclosure for the undisclosed user based on the reaction from the user who has been disclosed early.

  In one aspect of the message publishing control program of the present invention, in the setting procedure, the publishing delay time is based on the relationship between the user attribute information about the user who inputs the message and the user attribute information of the user to be published. Is set. That is, the publication delay time can be determined internally based on the user attribute information without being based on user input (some of which may be reflected). User attribute information is registration information about the user. Specifically, information that reflects the actual organizational structure such as affiliation and job title, and the computer structure such as authority on the computer, affiliation user group, and registration date. The reflected information can be exemplified. In the setting procedure, the publication delay time is determined based on the relationship between the user who made the user input and the user attribute information of the user to be published. As an example of the relationship, the closeness (degree of closeness) calculated based on the actual organization or the structure in the computer can be mentioned. In general, even if a message containing an error is disclosed to relatives who are closely connected, the effect is small. Therefore, it is effective to shorten the public delay time (or immediately disclose it) to users who are close to each other.

  In one aspect of the message publication control program of the present invention, in the setting procedure, the publication delay time is set based on history information relating to messages published in the past. Here, the history information includes, for example, which user has made a call, which user has been made public, whether the message has been canceled (cancelled) in the middle, who has been released based on instructions, This is information such as whether the response message to the public has been disclosed. If the number of cancellations of a message input by the user is large, it can be considered that there are many errors. For example, it may be effective to publish at a low speed at least initially. In addition, for users who frequently cancel messages that are input by other users, it is effective to publish them with an early publication delay time in anticipation of an early check of the contents.

  In one aspect of the message publication control program of the present invention, in the setting procedure, the user input for at least one of the publication urgency level, the publication delay time for the user whose publication is the latest, or the publication delay time for a certain user is also included. Based on this, a public delay time is set. For example, when the user makes an input to increase the urgency of publishing (although the publication delay is necessary) and wants to publish to all users at an early stage, the setting is made so that the publication is made earlier than usual. Similarly, when the public delay time for the slowest user or the public delay time for a specific user is set, the entire public delay time is modified so as to be consistent therewith.

  In one aspect of the message publishing control program of the present invention, publishing of messages in the publishing procedure is performed by setting access rights to messages displayed on the electronic bulletin board for the corresponding users sequentially according to the publishing delay time. Is called. That is, the message is published on the electronic bulletin board. In conjunction with the publication on the electronic bulletin board, it is also effective to notify the user that the access restriction has been removed (published) by e-mail or the like. When a response message to the message is written on the electronic bulletin board, it is possible to variously control the disclosure of the initial message and the response message. For example, the response message may not be disclosed to the unpublished person of the original message, or the person who is the target of publishing the response message prior to the original message may Messages may also be made public.

  In one aspect of the message publication control program of the present invention, the publication of the message in the publication procedure is performed by sequentially sending an e-mail to the corresponding user according to the publication delay time. That is, the message is published by electronic mail. When a response e-mail to the original e-mail is transmitted, the disclosure control can be variously performed as in the case of the electronic bulletin board.

  In one aspect of the message publishing control program of the present invention, a subsequent publishing process in the publishing procedure based on an instruction given to the computer by a user who inputs a message or a user who has already published a message The public control procedure for controlling In one aspect of the message disclosure control program of the present invention, the control of the disclosure process performed in the disclosure control procedure is a control for temporarily or completely stopping the disclosure process for unpublished users. In one aspect of the message disclosure control program of the present invention, the control of the disclosure process performed in the disclosure control procedure is a control for shortening or increasing the disclosure delay time for unpublished users, that is, accelerating the disclosure speed or This is the control to slow down. When accelerating the publication speed, it is also effective to perform a control for making the publication delay time extremely short, in other words, a control for immediately publishing to unpublished users, as in the case of a general message without a publication delay.

  In one aspect of the message publication control program of the present invention, after the computer is controlled to temporarily or completely stop the message publication process in the publication control procedure, the message is corrected in the reception procedure. When the modified message is received and the modified message is published in the publishing procedure, at least a notification procedure for notifying the user who published the previous message is a modified message is executed. Further, in one aspect of the message disclosure control program of the present invention, the notification procedure does not notify a user whose previous message is not disclosed that it is a correction message.

  When revising the revised message, it may be preferable to indicate whether it has been revised or not in order to avoid confusion for the recipient. Therefore, it is desirable to inform at least the user who published the previous message that the correction has been made. It would also be useful to inform all users that the changes were made. However, on the other hand, it should not be easily notified to the other party who does not want to know much about the correction. Therefore, it may be effective not to notify the user who has not published the previous message that the message has been modified. When accepting a correction message in the reception procedure, the correction message may be recognized based on an explicit instruction from the user who made the posting, or it must be a post after publishing control. Alternatively, it may be estimated from the fact that the message IDs match or are similar. When notifying that it is a correction message, it is also effective to notify detailed information such as how many times the correction was made and when the original message was released.

  In one aspect of the message publishing control program of the present invention, when the publishing control procedure is performed, the computer notifies the user who has already published the message that the publishing process has been controlled. Let the procedure run. In other words, by sharing information on public control by a certain user with other public users, it is possible to save other users from having to perform similar public control, and to enable monitoring of public control by other users. To do.

  In one aspect of the message publishing control program of the present invention, in the setting procedure, a message retransmitted from these users or a response from these users to a message published to at least some users. For the message, the publication delay time is set to reflect (partially or completely) the publication delay time set for the published message. When the retransmitted message or response message is sent by a user other than the user who made the original user input, the initial publication delay time set for the user to be published is the original one. It can be different. For this reason, for example, although the initial message has already been disclosed, it may take a long time for the response message to be disclosed. Further, although the initial message is not yet disclosed, there may be a user who is the disclosure target earlier than the response message. Therefore, for new messages, the disclosure delay time for the original message is reflected to eliminate or reduce the inconsistency of the disclosure time.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an apparatus configuration according to the present embodiment. In the figure, the electronic bulletin board apparatus 10, the Internet 30 as a network, and the terminals A32, B34, and C36, which are PCs used by each user, are illustrated as main components.

  The electronic bulletin board apparatus 10 is configured by installing an electronic bulletin board application program in a computer such as a PC. This application program implements a function of controlling a computing device and a storage device of a computer to construct a general electronic bulletin board system and releasing a message to be published on the electronic bulletin board with a time difference to each user.

  The electronic bulletin board apparatus 10 includes a control unit 12 and an electronic bulletin board database 20. The control unit 12 is a component constructed based on the control of the arithmetic device, and includes a delay time calculation unit 14, a public delay unit 16, and a message input / output unit 18. The electronic bulletin board database 20 is a component constructed using a storage device, and includes an electronic bulletin board information DB (database) 22, a message DB 24, a delay message DB 26, and a user DB 28.

  The delay time calculating unit 14 inputs user attribute information included in the user DB 28, history information related to past message release, and the like from the electronic bulletin board database 20, and calculates a delay time for release. Further, the disclosure delay unit 16 detects a user to be newly disclosed based on the delay time calculated by the delay time calculation unit 14 and also sends a message that is not subject to delay control from the delay message DB 26. Processing such as moving to the message DB 24 and excluding it from monitoring is performed. Then, the message input / output unit 18 receives a message to be disclosed through the Internet 30 from each user, registers the message, and releases the message registered to each user through the Internet 30. Specifically, messages that are not subject to delay processing are registered in the message DB 24, and messages that are subject to delay processing are registered in the delay message DB 26. In addition, under the control of the publication timing of the publication delay unit 16, the user and the publication location are notified by e-mail to the users who have been made public.

  The electronic bulletin board information DB 22 stores information for managing a plurality of electronic bulletin boards constructed on the electronic bulletin board apparatus 10. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an electronic bulletin board information table 40 managed in the electronic bulletin board information DB 22. Here, a plurality of electronic bulletin boards are identified by ID numbers, and the names of the electronic bulletin boards and the user names of participants who can access the electronic bulletin boards are registered. For example, the ID number “100” is an electronic bulletin board about “functional specification review meeting”, and its participants are “user A, user B, user C,. Similarly, “Company A case”, “User A, User D, User E,...” Are registered in ID number “101”, and ID number “102” is “Cross-company project A”, “User E, User F, User G,...” Are registered. When a message is written on an electronic bulletin board, a message is written on the electronic bulletin board. In general, the disclosure target of the message is a person registered as a participant.

  The message DB 24 is a database in which normal messages that are immediately released and messages that have been delayed are registered. FIG. 3 illustrates the message table 50 stored in the message DB 24. Each message is given an ID number, and an electronic bulletin board ID of a corresponding electronic bulletin board, a user name of a poster, a posting date and time, a subject, and message contents are registered. For example, a message registered as an ID number “1000” is displayed on a bulletin board with an electronic bulletin board ID “100” (functional specification review meeting) by “User A” at “10:00 on October 1, 2005”. "I was able to do it". Similarly, the ID number “1001” corresponds to the message of the electronic bulletin board ID “101”, “User D”, “October 2, 2005 11:00”, and “Meeting with the person in charge”. The ID number “1002” is the electronic bulletin board ID “101”, “User E”, “October 2, 2005 12:00”, “Re: with the person in charge” Corresponding to the message "The contents of the meeting."

  The delay message DB 26 is a database in which messages to be subjected to delay processing are registered. FIG. 4 illustrates the delay message table 60 stored in the delay message DB 26. Each message is given an ID number, and the electronic bulletin board ID of the corresponding electronic bulletin board, the user name of the contributor, the posting date and time, the subject, and the message contents are registered, and the propagation speed at the time of delay disclosure And information on the date and time of disclosure for each user are registered. For example, a message registered as the ID number “1010” indicates that “User A” is “Explanation material” at “10:00 on October 4, 2005” on the bulletin board with the electronic bulletin board ID “101”. Written in the subject. Then, the propagation speed is set to “2.3” (for example, the standard is 1 and represents how many times the propagation speed) under an appropriate unit, and the release date and time to “user A” is “2005” "October 4th 10:00" and has already been "released", and the release date to "User D" is "October 4th, 2005 at 10:01" and has already been "released" In addition, the date and time of release to “user E” is “October 4, 2005, 17:00” and “unpublished” is recorded.

  The user DB 28 is a database in which user attribute information of participants who are registered in the electronic bulletin board is registered. FIG. 5 illustrates a user table 70 stored in the user DB 28. Each user is given an ID number, and a user name, actual name, workplace category, workplace grade, e-mail address, and group code on the computer are registered. For example, the ID number “U001” corresponds to “User A”, the name is “XXXX”, the category is “internal”, the grade is “G1”, and the e-mail address is “xxx@xxx.jp”. , The affiliation group code is “D01001”.

  Next, the operation of the electronic bulletin board apparatus 10 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a process for registering a message. When a message is input to the message input / output unit 18 via the Internet 30, it is first determined whether or not an immediate registration request has been made (S10). If an immediate registration request has been made, that is, if it is a normal message, the message is registered in the message DB 24 (S12). Then, the message input / output unit 18 notifies the registered electronic bulletin board of an email indicating that the message has been registered (S14). Thereby, each user can browse a message immediately.

  On the other hand, when there is no immediate registration request, that is, when there is a request to perform a delay process, the input message is registered in the delay message DB 26. Then, it is determined whether or not an immediate registrant who should immediately disclose this message is included (S18). If it is included, a mail is notified to the person (S20), and the registration process is terminated. If it is not included, the registration process is terminated as it is.

When the delay time needs to be calculated, the delay time calculation unit 14 calculates the delay time when registering the message in the delay message DB. Here, an example will be described in which the delay time is calculated based on the user closeness and the history information. For the user who entered (posted) the message and the user to be published, the number of electronic bulletin boards registered together is SC, the distance difference in the organization of the affiliated group is ΔGroup, the category difference is ΔUserCategory, and the user class (role) When the difference between them is ΔUserRank, the user closeness ΔU is defined by the following equation.
ΔU = 1 / (SC + 1) × ΔGroup
× ΔUserCategory × ΔUserRank (1)
The value of the user relative degree ΔU is smaller as the user is closer. Further, if the number of times that the user to be published delays or cancels the message of another person in the past (TD) is TD, and the number of times that the message of another person accelerates or confirms (releases the delay) is TA, the contribution degree in message transmission ΔC is defined by the following equation.
ΔC = 1 / (TD + TA) (2)
The contribution degree ΔC becomes smaller as the contribution becomes larger. The transmission priority ΔP is expressed by the following equation consisting of the product of the user closeness ΔU and the contribution ΔC.
ΔP = ΔU × ΔC (3)
The public delay time to the user can be determined by the ΔP and the propagation speed of the message, for example. The propagation speed may be a standard value, or may be determined from the user-specified release urgency, the latest user's release delay time, the release delay time for a certain user, and the like. Alternatively, the user who has input the message may make a determination based on historical information such as how many messages have been subjected to deceleration processing or cancellation processing in the past.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining processing by the disclosure delay unit 16. The publication delay unit 16 determines whether or not there is a user who changes from a publication target to a publication target in a message registered in the delay message DB 26 at that time regularly (for example, at an interval of one minute) (S30). ). Then, if there is no corresponding user, the process is terminated, and if there is a corresponding user, a notification to that effect is sent to the newly disclosed subject person by e-mail (S32). As a result, the new target person can access the message. Subsequently, the publication delay unit 16 determines whether or not there is a user who has not yet been published with respect to this message (S34). If there is such a user, the process ends, and if not, this message is moved from the delayed message DB 26 to the message DB 24 (S36). As a result, the number of messages in the delayed message DB 26 to be referred to by the public delay unit 16 is reduced, and the processing efficiency is improved.

  Finally, an image when this embodiment is implemented will be briefly described with reference to the schematic diagrams of FIGS. 8 and 9.

  FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram created in contrast to FIG. However, in this figure, the event of message transmission 100 is shown in the center, and a plurality of concentric circles are drawn around it. Each concentric circle indicates the object and time at which the message is published at the same time, and the outer concentric circle indicates that the publication time is later.

  In the figure, a colleague 102, a group member 104, a direct manager 106, a department head 108, a director 110, and a customer 112 are arranged in order from the event of the message transmission 100. That is, after the message is first transmitted to the colleague 102, the disclosure range 114 gradually expands, and finally, the message is transmitted to the customer 112 included in the disclosure range after sufficient time has passed. The user whose message is transmitted in the first direction is a user who is relatively close to the caller (having a high degree of closeness). These people can be expected to be familiar with the content of the message, so they can be easily discovered if the message is incorrect or has an inappropriate part, and There is little risk of being confused even if you receive it. And by passing through the check by such people, it becomes possible to transmit a message with confidence to a user who has a low degree of closeness transmitted to the end.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram for schematically explaining processing when there is an error in a message. This figure is basically the same as FIG. 8, and the same or corresponding components are denoted by the same reference numerals. The characteristic point in the figure is that when the message reaches the group member 104, the group member 104 points out the error of the message content as “incorrect (120)”. Then, the group member 104 stops continuing the delayed release of the message, and the message release range 122 is stopped in a range including the colleagues 102 and the group member 104. As a result, the message including the error is not disclosed to the user whose relative degree is lower than that of the group member 104. The group member 104 or the original contributor can re-open a message without any defects to all users by retransmitting the message with the error corrected. In this case, it is preferable to simultaneously notify the user who published the previous message that the message has been corrected. What is necessary is just to notify that it was the corrected message to the user who did not open | release a previous message as needed.
