Specifically, the CPU 31 that has read this program generates image data based on each information received by the first wireless device 39, and outputs this data to the right display unit 35 for display.

[Calibration program]
The calibration program is a program for adjusting the length of the user's arm and the amount of sequence information. Specifically, the CPU 31 that has read this program retrieves and acquires the oldest meeting date / time data from the hard disk 4 of the server 2 and acquires the current time from the RTC 37 to obtain the oldest meeting date / time. The difference between the date and time of the data and the current time is calculated. Further, the CPU 31 calculates the difference between the current distance information measured by the infrared sensor 51 and the minimum value of distance information set in advance. Then, the CPU 31 calculates a conversion coefficient by dividing the calculated time difference by the calculated distance difference, and adjusts the length of the user's arm and the amount of series information using the conversion coefficient.

Next, the operation of the CPU 31 of the electronic business card exchange device 3 in the business card information management system 1 will be described.
In normal time, the CPU 31 controls various devices according to the main flow as shown in FIG. The main flow will be described below.

[Main flow]
As shown in FIG. 5, in the main flow, it is first determined whether or not a security lock is applied (step S1). As the encryption information necessary for the security lock, operation information indicating the movement of the electronic business card exchange device 3 as described in detail later is employed.

  If it is determined in step S1 that the security lock has been applied, the person M1 performs a predetermined operation while holding the electronic business card exchange device 3, so that the acceleration applied to the electronic business card exchange device 3 along with the operation is increased. Is detected by the acceleration sensor 52 (step S2). Here, as the predetermined operation, for example, an operation of rotating the electronic business card exchange device 3 held by a hand once in a held state may be performed. When the security lock registration mode (step S18) is appropriately executed, the determination in step S1 is affirmed (step S1: Yes). On the other hand, for example, the security lock registration mode (step S18) is not executed yet, and the security lock registration mode (step S18) is properly executed, but is performed for the electronic business card exchange device 3. If the security lock function is set to OFF based on the predetermined operation, the determination is negative (step S1: No) in step S1.

  When the operation (position / arrival time) is confirmed in step S2, this operation is compared with the operation (position / arrival time) already stored in the non-volatile RAM 34 to determine whether or not each operation matches. (Step S3). At the time of this determination, even if there is a predetermined error between the operation already stored in the nonvolatile RAM 34 and the operation detected this time as described above, it is determined that they match. If it is determined in step S3 that they do not match, steps S2 and S3 are repeated again.

  If it is determined in step S3 that they match, time measurement is started based on the time information from the RTC 37 (step S4), and then, as shown in FIG. , Day of the week and time are displayed (step S5). Next, by generating a radio wave from the RF reader 53 (step S6), it is determined whether or not there is a reply from the RFID near the RF reader 53 (step S7).

  If it is determined in step S7 that a reply has been received from the RFID, the business card registration mode is entered (step S8). Here, the business card registration mode is a process executed when the meeting partner does not have the electronic business card exchange device 3 but has a business card with RFID (paper base) including business card information. . Specifically, when a business card with RFID is handed over from the other party during the meeting, a reply is made from the business card with RFID via the RF reader 53 of the electronic business card exchange device 3 (step 7: Yes) is executed (details will be described later with reference to FIG. 6).

  If it is determined in step S7 that no reply has been received from the RFID, the operation is detected (confirmed) by the acceleration sensor 52 (step S9). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not such an operation has been detected, thereby determining whether or not there is no operation (step S10).

  If it is determined in step S10 that there is no operation, the process proceeds to a temporary table update mode (step S11). Further, after leaving the temporary table update mode, it is determined whether or not the time when the measurement is started in step 4 has reached a predetermined time, thereby determining whether or not a time-out has occurred (step S12). ). If it is determined in step S12 that the timeout has occurred, the process returns to step S1, and if it is determined that the timeout has not occurred, the process returns to step S5.

  If it is determined in step S10 that there is no motion, the process proceeds to step S13, and it is determined whether or not the motion detected in step S9 is a handshake motion. In step S13, when it is determined that the handshake operation is performed, the mode is shifted to the handshake mode (step S14). When it is determined that the handshake operation is not performed, the process proceeds to step S15.

  In step S15, it is determined whether or not the operation detected in step S9 is an operation for starting the data browsing mode (hereinafter referred to as “browsing start operation”). Here, as the browsing start operation, for example, an operation in which the user of the electronic business card exchange device 3 applies a slight impact (such as hitting a table) to the electronic business card exchange device 3 can be employed. In step S15, if it is determined that the operation is a browsing start operation, the mode is shifted to the data browsing mode (step S16). If it is determined that the operation is not a browsing start operation, the process proceeds to step S17.

  In step S17, it is determined whether or not the operation detected in step S9 is an operation for registering encryption information for security lock (hereinafter referred to as “registration operation”). Here, as the registration operation, for example, an operation of locking a key (an operation of rotating the electronic business card exchange device 3 half a clockwise) or the like can be employed. If it is determined in step S17 that the operation is a registration operation, the process proceeds to the security lock registration mode (step S18). If it is determined that the operation is not a registration operation, the process returns to step S4. Even after exiting the business card registration mode S8, the handshake mode S14, the data browsing mode S16, and the security lock registration mode S18, the process returns to step S4.

[Business card registration mode]
As shown in FIG. 6, in the business card registration mode, first, it is determined whether or not the data received by the RF reader 53 is business card information including another person ID (step S21). In step S21, if it is determined that the information is not business card information, the process ends. If it is determined that the information is business card information, the process proceeds to step S22.

  In step S22, it is determined whether or not communication with the server 2 is possible. If it is determined in step S22 that communication is impossible, the received other person ID and the generated meeting date / time data and meeting place data are added to the temporary acquaintance table in the nonvolatile RAM 34 (step S23). Then, a message “Cannot connect to the Internet” is displayed on the right display unit 35 (step S24).

  If it is determined in step S22 that communication is possible, it is determined whether or not the received other person ID is already in the acquaintance table 42 on the database of the server 2 (step S25). If it is determined in step S25 that there is no other person ID in the acquaintance table 42, the process proceeds to step S26. Here, the direct determination of whether or not the other person ID is in the acquaintance table 42 (see step S25) is performed by the CPU 21 of the server 2, and this determination is made on condition that the determination in step S22 is affirmed. Is performed based on the principal ID and the other person ID transmitted from the electronic business card exchange device 3 to the server 2. That is, it is performed depending on whether or not there is a record including the other person ID in the acquaintance table 42 associated with the record in the personal table 41 specified by the principal ID. The access ID is also transmitted together with the principal ID and the other person ID.

  In step S26, a new record is added to the acquaintance table 42 already set in relation to the personal table 41 of the principal M1, and a new meeting table 43 is created so as to relate to this record. The other person ID is recorded in the new record of the acquaintance table 42, and the meeting data (date and time, location) generated based on the information from the RTC 37 and the GPS sensor 38 is first stored in the new meeting table 43. It is recorded as a record. Also, a personal table that matches the other person ID is searched, and the personal information of the other person M2 is acquired from this personal table. Here, the personal information of this other person M2 is the information disclosure level in the information disclosure level table 44 specified by the access ID transmitted together with the principal ID and the other person ID in the determination of step S25 (this information disclosure level is the other person M2 The electronic business card exchange apparatus 3 is set as appropriate), and is limited to a predetermined disclosure range. Specifically, for example, if the information disclosure level is “high”, all of the information recorded as personal information (business card information) of another person M2 from the personal table 41 is exchanged from the server 2 to the electronic business card of the principal M1. Transmit to device 3. If the information disclosure level is “medium”, “-name”, “-title”, “-organization”, “-organization unit”, “-address” “-phone”, “-e-mail” are changed. If the information disclosure level is “small”, information obtained by removing “−phone” and “−e-mail” from the information transmitted in “medium” is transmitted. The details of setting the information disclosure level will be described in a handshake mode to be described later.

  After step S26, the personal information acquired in step S26 is displayed on the right display unit 35 as shown in FIG. 4C (step S27).

  If it is determined in step S25 that there is already another person ID in the acquaintance table 42, the process proceeds to step S28.

  In step S28, a new record is added to the meeting table 43 that has already been set in relation to the acquaintance table. The meeting data is recorded in this record. Also, a personal table that matches the other person ID is searched, and the personal information of the other person M2 is acquired from this personal table. Here, the personal information of the other person M2 is limited to a predetermined disclosure range by an information disclosure level appropriately set by the electronic business card exchange apparatus 3 of the other person M2. Furthermore, the past meeting data in the meeting table 43 already set in relation to the record of the acquaintance table 42 including the other person ID is also acquired.

  After step S28, the personal information and past meeting data acquired in step S28 are displayed on the right display unit 35 as shown in FIG. 15 (step S29).

  Here, in FIG. 15 (in FIG. 4C, items common to FIG. 15 are the same as the following description), “Last meeting: Date: 2006/9/10 13:00” is displayed in the meeting table 43. The latest meeting date and time data recorded, and the information recorded in the record related to the latest meeting date and time data is “Place”, “Purpose”, and “Memo (Memo displayed in the lower part of the Purchase”). Is displayed. In addition, the total number of records recorded in the meeting table 43 related to another user associated with the personal table 41 corresponding to the predetermined user is displayed as “How many times we have ever met: 12times”. ing. On the other hand, the face photo displayed on the right display unit 35, “Name” to “Birthday”, and “Memo (Memo displayed in the lower part of Age)” are searched separately based on the acquaintance information search program. Is displayed based on the information recorded in the record of the personal table 41 related to the user ("Age" is calculated from "Birtheday" and the current date and time). Further, “My Memo” is displayed based on memo information recorded in the acquaintance table 42. Note that it is preferable that the displayed items are appropriately selected.

  After the above-described steps S24, S27, and S29, the operation is confirmed by the acceleration sensor 52 (step S30), and this operation is an operation for canceling the business card registration mode (hereinafter referred to as “mode cancel operation”). It is determined whether or not there is (step S31). Here, as the mode release operation, for example, an operation of discarding information displayed on the right display unit 35 (an operation of directing the right display unit 35 facing down) may be performed.

  If it is determined in step S31 that the mode is not canceling, the process returns to step S30. If it is determined that the mode is canceling, the business card registration mode is ended.

[Handshake mode]
As shown in FIG. 7, in the handshake mode, first, it is determined whether or not the lightness detected by the lightness sensor 54 is equal to or greater than a predetermined value (step S41). In step S41, if it is determined that the value is less than the predetermined value, the process ends. If it is determined that the value is equal to or greater than the predetermined value, the process proceeds to step S42.

  In step S42, it is determined whether or not the number of handshaking operations is three. If it is determined in step S42 that the number of times is three, the information disclosure level is set to “high” (step S43), and then the process proceeds to step 48.

  If it is determined in step S42 that the number of times is not three, it is determined whether or not the number of handshaking operations is two (step S44). If it is determined in step S44 that it is twice, the information disclosure level is set to “medium” (step S45), and then the process proceeds to step S48.

  If it is determined in step S44 that the number is not twice, the information disclosure level is set to “low” (step S46), and then the process proceeds to step S48.

  In step S48, a unique access ID is created. After step S48, the principal ID and the access ID are output to the second wireless device 50 and transmitted to the electronic business card exchange device 3 of the other person M2 by Bluetooth (registered trademark) (step S49).

  After step S49, it is determined whether or not communication with the server 2 is possible (step S50). If it is determined in step S50 that communication is impossible, the access ID and the information disclosure level are added to the temporary information disclosure table in the nonvolatile RAM 34 (step S51).

  If it is determined in step S50 that communication is possible, the access ID and information disclosure level are registered in the information disclosure level table 44 on the database of the server 2 (step S52).

  After the access ID and the information disclosure level are registered in the information disclosure level table 44 in this way, the other person M2 accesses the server 2 from the electronic business card exchange device 3 of the other person M2 in order to obtain the information of the person M1. At this time, the information of the principal M1 is limited and disclosed according to the information disclosure level. That is, the server 2 acquires the information disclosure level from the access ID from the information disclosure level table 44 on condition that the personal ID and the access ID are received from the electronic business card exchange device 3 of the other person M2. And this server 2 extracts the information according to the acquired information disclosure level from the record 41A of the personal table 41 in which the person ID is recorded, and provides it to the electronic business card exchange apparatus 3 of the other person M2. It has become.

  Further, after the above-described steps S51 and S52, it is determined whether or not the time when the measurement is started in step S4 (see FIG. 5) has reached a predetermined time, thereby determining whether or not a time-out has occurred. (Step S53). If it is determined in step S53 that the time-out has occurred, the handshake mode is terminated. If it is determined that the time-out has not occurred, the process proceeds to step S54.

  In step S54, it is determined whether information (other person ID and access ID) from another person M2 has been received by the second wireless device 50 (Bluetooth: registered trademark). If it is determined in step S54 that it has not been received, the process returns to step S53. If it is determined that it has been received, the process proceeds to step S22 (see FIG. 6) in the business card registration mode.

[Data browsing mode]
As shown in FIG. 8, in the data browsing mode executed by an operation such as a slight shock applied to the electronic business card exchange device 3, first, the current distance L (for example, a shock is applied) by the infrared sensor 51. Or a distance between the user and the electronic business card exchange device 3 after a predetermined time has elapsed), and this value L is recorded as a current distance L1 in a predetermined current distance memory area of the RAM 33 (step S61). ).

  After step S61, the process shifts to the browsing mode (step S62). Here, the browsing mode refers to a mode in which the user browses while sequentially switching information displayed on the display units 35 and 36 by moving the electronic business card exchange device 3 close to or away from his / her body. Specifically, in the present embodiment, as the user moves the electronic business card exchange device 3 away from his / her body, past data can be browsed, and as the user gets closer to his / her body, data closer to the present can be browsed. Yes. This browsing mode will be described in detail later.

  After exiting the browsing mode, the motion is detected by the acceleration sensor 52 (step S63). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the operation detected in step S63 is an operation for displaying a detailed screen (step S64). Here, in the present embodiment, an operation of scooping the star image displayed on the left display unit 36 is employed as an operation for displaying the detailed screen.

  If it is determined in step S64 that the operation is to scoop a star image, the process proceeds to the detailed data browsing mode (step S65). If it is determined that the operation is not a scooping operation, the process proceeds to step S66. Here, the detailed data browsing mode refers to a mode in which more detailed information than the simplified information of other users browsing in the browsing mode can be browsed. This detailed data browsing mode will be described in detail later. After exiting the detailed data browsing mode, the process returns to step S62.

  In step S66, it is determined whether or not the operation detected in step S63 is an operation for locking the display of each display unit 35, 36. Here, in this embodiment, the operation | movement which shakes the electronic business card exchange apparatus 3 up and down (vertically) once as operation | movement for locking the display of each display part 35 and 36 is employ | adopted.

  If it is determined in step S66 that it has been shaken, the process shifts to the lock mode (step S67). If it is determined that it has not been shaken, the process proceeds to step S68. Here, the lock mode refers to a mode for prohibiting the change of each information whose display is sequentially switched in the browsing mode. Specifically, in this mode, for example, when the user has fully extended his arm and can no longer browse past information, the display of each display unit 35, 36 is temporarily stopped (locked), In this mode, the arm can be brought closer to the body to release the lock, and the arm can be extended from there to see past information. The lock mode will be described later in detail. After exiting the lock mode, the process returns to step S62.

  In step S68, it is determined whether or not the operation detected in step S63 is an operation for performing calibration. Here, in this embodiment, the operation | movement which shakes the electronic business card exchange apparatus 3 twice vertically is employ | adopted as operation | movement for performing a calibration.

  In step S68, if it is determined that the signal has been shaken twice, the process proceeds to the calibration mode (step S69). If it is determined that the signal has not been shaken twice, the process proceeds to step S70. Here, the calibration mode refers to a mode for adjusting the length of the user's arm and the amount of data. Specifically, in the present embodiment, since data is managed by time, the oldest data is displayed at the position of the electronic business card exchange device 3 when the user has fully extended his arm, and the electronic business card is displayed on the user side. Adjustment is performed so that the latest data is displayed at a position where the exchange device 3 is as close as possible (a preset minimum distance Lmin). The calibration mode will be described in detail later. After exiting the calibration mode, the process returns to step S62.

  In step S70, it is determined whether or not the operation detected in step S63 is an operation for canceling (leaving) the data browsing mode. Here, in the present embodiment, as an operation for exiting the data browsing mode, an operation of discarding the star image displayed on the left display unit 36 (an operation of directing the left display unit 36 facing down) is employed. ing. If it is determined in step S70 that the discarding operation has not been performed, the process returns to step S62. If it is determined that the discarding operation has been performed, the data browsing mode ends.

<Browsing mode>
As shown in FIG. 9, in the browsing mode, when the movement of the electronic business card management apparatus 3 is detected from the position corresponding to the current distance L1 measured in step S61, the distance corresponding to the position after the movement is measured. At the same time, the current distance L1 recorded in the current distance memory area is recorded as the previous distance L2 in the previous distance memory area of the RAM 33 (step S71). The measured current distance L is recorded as the current distance L1 in the current distance memory area (step S72). Here, when the detected current distance L is smaller than the preset minimum distance Lmin, the minimum distance Lmin is recorded as the current distance L1 instead of the current distance L in the current distance memory area.

  After step S72, the search parameter VT recorded in a predetermined memory area of the RAM 33 is updated (step S73). The search parameter VT is a parameter for searching for predetermined meeting date data, and is calculated by the following arithmetic expression.

VT = VT ′ + α (1)
α = C × (L1-L2) (2)
(VT ′: search parameter previous value, α: display switching parameter, C: conversion coefficient)

  That is, in step S73, the search parameter VT is calculated by adding a predetermined display switching parameter α to the search parameter previous value VT ′ as shown in the equation (1). Further, as shown in Expression (2), the display switching parameter α is calculated by multiplying the difference between the current distance L1 and the previous distance L2 by a predetermined conversion coefficient C. The conversion coefficient C is appropriately determined during execution of a calibration mode described later.

  After step S73, the meeting date data whose meeting date and time (dateAndTime) is before the search parameter VT is searched from the meeting table 43 of the server 2 (step S74). In this search, if there are multiple meeting date data in one meeting table 43, the latest data is searched in order, and when there is the corresponding data, another meeting table is searched. You may make it move to. If comprised in this way, it can prevent that the same person comes out many times during browsing.

  In step S74, when a plurality of meeting date / time data before the search parameter VT are searched, star images are sequentially read out from the nonvolatile RAM 34 so as to correspond to each searched meeting date / time data (corresponding to the condition). These star images are displayed on the left display unit 36 (step S75). Here, the star image is displayed larger as the difference between the meeting date data and the search parameter VT is smaller, and smaller as the difference is larger (see FIG. 4B).

  After step S75, the meeting date data existing between the date indicated by the search parameter VT and the date two days before is searched from the meeting table 43 of the server 2 (step S76), and the process proceeds to step S77. . That is, the meeting date data from VT to (VT-2 day) is searched.

  In step S77, it is determined whether or not any meeting date data exists between VT and (VT-2 day). If it is determined in step S77 that meeting date / time data exists, simplified data (for example, name, company name, etc.) of another person corresponding to the corresponding meeting date / time data is displayed on the right display unit 35 (step S77). S78; see FIG. 4B). Then, after this step S78 or when it is determined in step S77 that there is no meeting date / time data, the browsing mode is terminated. In step S77, when the determination is affirmed (step S77: Yes), no simplified data is displayed on the right display unit 35. Therefore, it is possible to grasp that no other party has been met at the date and time indicated by the search parameter VT used for the search, that is, the position where the electronic business card exchange device 3 exists with reference to the user. .

<Detailed data browsing mode>
As shown in FIG. 10, in the detailed data browsing mode, first, the simplified information of the user currently displayed on the right display unit 35 is replaced with detailed information (information in the personal table 41, etc.) acquired from the server 2. (Step S81; refer to FIG. 4B for simplified information and (c) or FIG. 15 for detailed information).

  After step S81, motion detection by the acceleration sensor 52 is performed (step S82). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the operation detected in step S82 is an operation for canceling the detailed data browsing mode (step S83). Here, in the present embodiment, as an operation for canceling the detailed data browsing mode, an operation of discarding the star image displayed on the left display unit 36 (an operation of directing the left display unit 36 facing down). Adopted.

  If it is determined in step S83 that the operation is not to discard the star image, the process returns to step S82, and if it is determined to be an operation to discard the star image, the detailed data browsing mode ends. That is, unless the star video is discarded, detailed information continues to be displayed on the right display unit 35.

<Lock mode>
As shown in FIG. 11, in the lock mode, first, an operation is detected by the acceleration sensor 52 (step S91). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the operation detected in step S91 is an operation for releasing the lock mode (step S92). Here, in the present embodiment, an operation for discarding the star image displayed on the left display unit 36 is employed as an operation for releasing the lock mode.

  If it is determined in step S92 that the operation is not an operation for discarding the star image, the process returns to step S91, and the processes of steps S91 and S92 are repeated again. That is, unless the star image is thrown away, the lock mode is not continued and the browsing mode is not shifted. Therefore, even if the electronic business card exchange device 3 is moved back and forth during this time, the display on each display unit 35, 36 is displayed. There is no change.

  If it is determined in step S92 that the star image is discarded, the current distance L is measured by the infrared sensor 51, and this value L is recorded in the current distance memory area as the current distance L1 (step S92). S93). Then, after this step S93, the lock mode ends.

<Calibration mode>
As shown in FIG. 12, in the calibration mode, first, the oldest (past) meeting date / time data is acquired from the plurality of meeting date / time data recorded in each meeting table 43 of the server 2, and this meeting date / time is acquired. Data is set as the minimum value VTmin of the search parameter VT (step S101).

  After step S101, the current time T is measured by the RTC 37, and this value T is recorded in the current time memory area as the current time T1 (step S102). After step S102, the current distance L is measured by the infrared sensor 51, and this value L is recorded as the current distance L1 in the current distance memory area (step S103). When entering the calibration mode, the user usually keeps his / her arm in the maximum extent, so the current distance L corresponds to the length of the user's arm.

After step S103, the conversion coefficient C is updated (step S104). Specifically, the conversion coefficient C is updated by the following arithmetic expression.
C = (T1−VTmin) / (L1−Lmin) (3)

  After step S104, the motion is detected by the acceleration sensor 52 (step S105). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the operation detected in step S105 is an operation for canceling the calibration mode (step S106). Here, in the present embodiment, an operation for discarding the star image displayed on the left display unit 36 is employed as an operation for canceling the calibration mode.

  If it is determined in step S106 that the operation is not an operation for discarding the star image, the process returns to step S103, and if it is determined that the operation is an operation for discarding the star image, the calibration mode ends.

[Security lock registration mode]
As shown in FIG. 13, in the security lock registration mode, first, an operation is detected by the acceleration sensor 52 (step S111). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not such an operation has been detected, thereby determining whether or not there is no operation (step S112).

  If it is determined in step S112 that there is no operation, the process returns to step S111, and steps S111 and S112 are repeated until an operation is input. If it is determined in step S112 that there is no operation, time measurement is started (step S113) and the process proceeds to step S114.

  In step S114, it is determined whether or not a time-out has occurred by determining whether or not the time at which the measurement was started in step S114 has reached a predetermined time. In step S114, if it is determined that the time-out has occurred, the security lock registration mode ends. If it is determined that the time-out has not occurred, the process proceeds to step S115.

  In step S115, the acceleration sensor 52 detects the operation again. Thereafter, it is determined whether or not it is operating (step S116). If it is determined that it is not operating, the process returns to step S114. If it is determined in step S116 that the operation is being performed, the operation (position / arrival time) is recorded as encryption information in the nonvolatile RAM 34 (S117). After step S117, the timer is restarted, that is, the time measurement is restarted from the beginning (step S118), and the process returns to step S114. Then, by repeating such steps S114 to S118, a plurality of sets of position / arrival times are recorded in the nonvolatile RAM 34.

[Temporary table update mode]
As shown in FIG. 14, in the temporary table update mode, first, it is determined whether or not communication with the server 2 is possible (step S121). In step S121, if it is determined that communication is not possible, the temporary table update mode ends. If it is determined that communication is possible, the process proceeds to step S122.

  In step S122, it is determined whether or not there is data in the temporary acquaintance table set on the nonvolatile RAM. If it is determined in step S122 that there is data, the first piece of information in the temporary acquaintance table is read (step S123).

  After step S123, it is determined whether or not the other person ID in the read information is already in the acquaintance table 42 on the server 2 side (step S124). If it is determined in step S124 that there is no other person ID in the acquaintance table 42, the process proceeds to step S125.

  In step S125, a new record is added to the acquaintance table 42 already set in relation to the personal table 41 of the principal M1, and a new meeting table 43 is created so as to relate to this record. The other person ID is recorded in the new record of the acquaintance table 42, and the meeting data (date and time, location) generated based on the information from the RTC 37 and the GPS sensor 38 is first stored in the new meeting table 43. It is recorded as a record.

  If it is determined in step S124 that there is already another person ID in the acquaintance table 42, the process proceeds to step S126.

  In step S126, a new record is added to the meeting table 43 that has already been set in relation to the acquaintance table. The meeting data is recorded in this record.

  After the aforementioned steps S125 and S126, the first piece of information in the temporary acquaintance table is deleted (step S127), and the process returns to step S122. Then, after steps S122 to S127 are repeated for the number of remaining information recorded in the temporary acquaintance table, “No” is determined in step S122, and the process proceeds to step S128.

  In step S128, it is determined whether or not there is data in the temporary information disclosure table set on the nonvolatile RAM 34. If it is determined in step S128 that there is data, the first piece of information (access ID and information disclosure level) in the temporary information disclosure table is read (step S129), and the process proceeds to step S130. .

  In step S130, a new record is added to the information disclosure level table 44 on the server 2 side. In this record, the access ID and the information disclosure level read from the temporary information disclosure table are recorded.

  After step S130, the first piece of information in the temporary information disclosure table is deleted (step S131), and the process returns to step S128. Then, after step S128 to step S131 are repeated for the number of remaining information recorded in the temporary information disclosure table, “No” is determined in step S128, and this temporary table update mode ends.

According to the above, the following effects can be obtained in the present embodiment.
Since the meeting table 43 capable of recording a plurality of meeting date / time data as a plurality of records A11, A12, A13,... Is provided, the number of records is counted for the partner (another person M2) who the person M1 has already met. You can see how many times you have met in the past. In addition, by referring to the meeting date and time data recorded in each record, the person M1 can also know the date and time when he first met the other person M2 and how often he met. Can do.

Since meeting place data is also recorded in each record of the meeting table 43, it is possible to know where the person M1 met another person M2.
Since memo information can be recorded in each record of the acquaintance table 42 and the meeting table 43, when the principal M1 resumes with another person M2, the memo information recorded in the tables 42 and 43 is referred to. , The meeting can proceed smoothly and meaningfully. In addition, since memo information is recorded in each record of the meeting table 43, important comments for each meeting can be left as memo information. Further, since the records of the meeting table 43 are sequentially added, a large amount of information related to the other person M2 can be recorded.

  Since the CPU 31 of the electronic business card exchange device 3 exchanges the user ID on condition that the operation information and the lightness satisfy the predetermined conditions, the user selects the electronic business card exchange device 3 in a predetermined brightness environment. The user ID can be easily exchanged with the other party simply by moving the user. Further, since the user ID is not exchanged unless the user moves the electronic business card exchange device 3 in a predetermined operation under a predetermined brightness environment, a malfunction that information exchange is performed without permission. And reliable information exchange is realized.

  Further, when the other person ID is transmitted from the electronic business card exchange device 3 of the principal M1, the server 2 searches the personal table 41, the acquaintance table 42 and the meeting table 43 for detailed information regarding the other person M2, and exchanges the electronic business card. Since the information is provided to the device 3, the person M1 can smoothly talk to the other person M2 based on such detailed information.

  Any operation of the user can be stored in the nonvolatile RAM 34 as encryption information, and when the prohibition of operation of the electronic business card exchange device 3 is desired to be canceled, the prohibition can be easily canceled simply by reproducing the operation. In addition, by using encrypted information as the user's action, it is extremely unlikely that users will be unable to authenticate themselves when they are injured or have a cold, such as fingerprints or voiceprints. Can do.

  Since the user performs the handshake operation a predetermined number of times while holding the electronic business card exchange device 3, the business card information disclosure range is selected. Can be changed.

  As the number of handshakes increases, the range of disclosure of business card information is expanded, resulting in an operation equivalent to an actual handshake. Therefore, it is difficult for the user to forget to expand or narrow the disclosure range. In other words, since the number of handshakes increases as the person who is trusted in general increases, it matches the relationship between the actual handshake operation and the reliability, so it is difficult for the user to forget the operation of selecting the disclosure range. The effect can be obtained.

  Since the user changes the series information simply by moving the electronic business card exchange device 3 close to or away from his / her body, the user can easily access the series information even if the electronic business card exchange device 3 is downsized. You can browse. Further, as the distance information is increased by the display variable program, the series information corresponding to the past time is acquired from the server 2, so that the relationship between the time and the distance is based on a human sense (distant past, near future). Relationship). Therefore, an effect that it is difficult for the user to forget the operation method can be obtained.

  Since the star image corresponding to each piece of the series information output to the right display unit 35 is output to the left display unit 36, the user can browse each piece of information while referring to the star image. In addition, since the star image is displayed so small as to represent past information, the user can search for past acquaintances by moving the electronic business card exchange device 3 so that the standard matches a distant star. The user can browse while enjoying the operation of the electronic business card exchange device 3.

  Detailed information can be browsed by scooping the star image, so that even if the electronic business card exchanging device 3 is downsized, the user only needs to perform a simple operation such as scooping the star image. Information can be browsed easily.

  By using the lock mode, it is possible to stop / restart the change in the image of each display unit 35, 36. For example, once the arm is extended to the maximum, the change in the image is temporarily stopped and the electronic business card is brought close to the body. By moving the exchange device 3 and then releasing the lock mode and moving the electronic business card exchange device 3 away from the body again, even if the amount of sequence information is large relative to the length of the user's arm, Information can be browsed by the user.
