Description

  The present invention relates to a calendar system for publishing research meetings such as academic societies, research meetings, presentations, review meetings, and lectures on the Internet so that they can be viewed.

  There is known a calendar system that publishes a schedule for a society or the like on the Web. A conventional calendar system displays a research meeting name or the like in a calendar date field.

  A conventional calendar system is managed and operated by a specific administrator and needs to be updated by the administrator. For this reason, it is difficult to cover a large number of research meetings with different scales at the national level, local (Kanto, Hokkaido, etc.) level, city level, etc., and generally only large meetings are listed. The update frequency is also relatively long. Similarly, it is virtually impossible to cover various genre associations.

  In general, the organizers of lectures from companies, etc. invest as a place to provide new information as well as advertise their devices and medicines, rent paid places, and host research meetings. Therefore, it is hoped that many attendees will come to these meetings. However, in reality, there is not enough advertising activity, and at present, information about the association is posted on the site of each company.

  For this reason, viewers (those who want information) are forced to browse the sites of many companies one by one in order to obtain information on the society. The frequency of study groups is very high, especially on weekends, and meetings of the same genre are often held on the same day. Therefore, when planning to participate in these, it is difficult to browse all the meetings and decide whether to participate or not participate in them. For this reason, there is a potential demand for an intensive information acquisition system.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a calendar system for academic societies and the like that can be easily managed.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a calendar system for academic societies that can function as a place for transmitting effective information.

In order to achieve the above object, the research meeting information providing system of the present invention provides:
Storage means for storing the date and the research meeting (conference, research meeting, presentation, review meeting, lecture, etc.) in association with each other;
An information providing means for receiving a request from the terminal via the network and providing information on the month and date stored in the storage means in association with each other;
An update unit that accepts information associating a date with a research meeting from the terminal, and updates the information stored in the storage unit;
It is characterized by providing.

  For example, there is further provided a detailed information presenting means for reading out and providing predetermined detailed information relating to the designated research meeting when a specific research meeting is designated among the information provided by the information providing means. You may prepare.

  The detailed information may include, for example, link information to a Web page on which information related to a designated research meeting is posted.

  For example, authentication information storage means for storing authentication information, requesting the authentication information for access from the terminal, access using the provided information and authentication information stored in the authentication information storage means An authentication means for authenticating a person may be arranged, and the update means may be configured to allow update by the update means when the authentication means determines that authentication is successful.

  For example, the authentication information storage means receives a mail address as information provided in advance from the terminal, and stores the information in the authentication information storage means when the mail address meets a predetermined condition in advance. You may comprise so that it may not perform.

  According to the present invention, since registration through access via the network is possible, registration can be widely accepted, and the burden on the administrator can be suppressed. If link information to a research meeting homepage is arranged, it is possible to increase access to the homepage.

In this case, regarding the registration of the registered user, more detailed information may be requested and stricter examination may be performed.

It is also possible to automate the examination. This point will be described.
First, the server device 14 accesses the homepages of various academic societies during off hours or the like, and collects academic societies domains in advance (an existing one may be used).
On the other hand, a domain is cut out from an e-mail address input at the time of user registration, and it is determined whether the domain is collected in advance and included in the list of domains. If it is included, it is assumed to be OK, and if it is not included, registration as a user is rejected. With such a configuration, it is possible to limit users to academic personnel.

The determination result may be notified to the administrator by e-mail or the like, and a final determination may be made as to whether or not the administrator allows registration.
Similarly, the same operation may be performed each time research meeting information is registered.

  The system of the present invention can be realized using a normal computer system, not a dedicated system. For example, a program for executing the above operation is stored in a computer-readable recording medium (FD, CD-ROM, DVD, etc.) and distributed, and the program is installed in the computer to execute the above processing. A user terminal, a WWW server, a mail server, or the like may be configured. Further, it may be stored in a disk device included in a server device on a network such as the Internet, and may be downloaded onto a computer, for example, superimposed on a carrier wave. Further, when the OS realizes the above functions by sharing the OS or jointly with the OS and the application, only the part other than the OS may be stored and distributed in a medium, or may be superimposed on a carrier wave to a computer. You may download it.
