  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described.

<First Embodiment>
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration example of a system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  In FIG. 1, a message board server 1 that provides a message exchange function using a message board is connected to a network 2 such as the Internet, and a mobile phone 3A possessed by a gifting user A and a cellular phone possessed by a receiving user B. Access via the network 2 from 3B is possible.

  Also, the gifting user A reads the message server access code 5A of the message exchange card (ubiquitous card, ubiquitous (abbreviation of ubiquitous message) card) 4 acquired by purchase or the like by reading the cellular phone 3A, etc. The server 1 is accessed. The user B on the receiving side reads a message board by reading the receiving server access code 5B separated from the message exchange card 4 and pasted on an article 6 such as a gift by the mobile phone 3B. The server 1 is accessed.

  Unique code included in the gift server access code 5A and the receiver server access code 5B (the unique code is a code string not limited to numbers, characters, etc., and the unique number described later uses a number string as an example. Is set so as not to overlap with other message exchange cards and the like, and one-to-one secret message exchange can be performed. Also, the message board that can be accessed with the gift-side server access code 5A and the message board that can be accessed with the receiving-side server access code 5B are the same (common). It is possible to automatically identify whether access is from the receiving side or from the receiving side. In this regard, there is a method of making the same server access code select by the user at the time of access, but the user's hand is troublesome.

The correspondence between the gift-side server access code 5A and the reception-side server access code 5B may be prepared in the message board server 1 or a simple correspondence rule may be determined. For example,
Gift server access code 5A: server URL + unique number + A
Example: ubiquime.com?12345A
Receiving server access code 5B: server URL + unique number + B
Example: ubiquime.com?12345B
And In this case, the server application or CGI (Common Gateway Interface) of the message board server 1 (http://ubiquime.com/) reads the unique number and A / B, which are additional data of the server URL, and displays the corresponding message board. It is dynamically generated in the corresponding mode (gift side mode / reception side mode) and transmitted to the access source mobile phone. In order to prevent the message board server 1 from being accessed even if the unique number is not counterfeited due to forgery of the unique number, a check code such as a hash may be further added.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the message exchange card 4.

  (A) A QR code by printing is used for the gift-side server access code 5A and the receiving-side server access code 5B, and the receiving-side server access code 5B is peeled off from the mount and pasted on the article. It can be read as it is with a mobile phone with a camera that is currently popular. In addition to the QR code, other two-dimensional codes (PDF417, DataMatrix, Maxi Code, etc.), Grid Input (dot patterns developed exclusively for grid scanners), circular barcodes, and the like can also be used.

  (B) uses a one-dimensional barcode printed on the gift-side server access code 5A and the receiving-side server access code 5B. The receiving-side server access code 5B is sealed and peeled off from the mount and attached to the article. Although the amount of information contained can be reduced, it can be read by an inexpensive barcode reader, and can also be read as it is by a mobile phone with a camera that is currently popular.

  (C) shows that the gift-side server access code 5A and the reception-side server access code 5B are made of invisible ink that reacts to infrared light / ultraviolet light, and the portion including the reception-side server access code 5B is sealed. Thus, it can be peeled off from the mount and attached to the article, and it is necessary to provide a reading function on the mobile phone side, but the degree of freedom of design is increased and the aesthetics can be enhanced.

  Further, although (a) to (c) are based on printing, it is also possible to record the code magnetically instead of printing. It is also possible to record the code optically (by phase change, melt mixing, etc.) on the optical recording medium.

  In (d), the gift-side server access code 5A and the receiving-side server access code 5B are formed by a wireless tag (IC chip), and the receiving-side server access code 5B is sealed and peeled off from the mount. Although it is necessary to have a reading function on the mobile phone side, it is not necessary to shoot with a camera just by bringing them close to each other, so that a reading operation is facilitated.

  (E) The gift server access code 5A is formed with a wireless tag, the QR code is used as the server access code 5B on the receiving side, and the receiving server access code 5B is sealed and peeled off from the mount. It can be pasted on. Similarly, a two-dimensional code, a one-dimensional barcode, invisible ink, a wireless tag, and the like may be arbitrarily combined.

  (F) appends a character string of the code contents (URL of access destination (Uniform Resource Locater)) to the QR code of the gifting server access code 5A and the receiving server access code 5B, and the receiving server access code 5B. The sticky part is sealed so that it can be peeled off from the mount and pasted on an article. Even if it is not a camera-equipped mobile phone or an information terminal such as a PC or game machine, a browser It can be accessed by manually entering the address input field.

  (G) uses a QR code for the gift-side server access code 5A and the recipient-side server access code 5B, and the gift-side server access code in the weak part that has been perforated and cut in the center. The receiving server access code 5B and the receiving server access code 5B can be separated (separated), and the receiving server access code 5B can be enclosed in an article. The same can be applied to a case where a two-dimensional code, a one-dimensional barcode, invisible ink, a wireless tag, and the like are arbitrarily combined.

  (H) QR code is used for the gift server access code 5A and the receiver server access code 5B, and the receiver server access code 5B is put on the gift server access code 5A in a seal form and received. When the side server access code 5B is removed, the gift side server access code 5A is made visible.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing another configuration example of the message exchange card 4, and the gift-side server access codes 5A-1, 5A-2, 5C-1, 5C-2 and a separable seal-like receiving side. Server access codes 5B-1, 5B-2, 5D-1, and 5D-2 are provided, and two-to-two correspondence, that is, two on the gift side (users A and C) and two on the receiving side (users B and D) It is a thing. Similarly, it can be extended to N to N and 1 to N.

  4-6 is a figure which shows the example in which the code | cord | chord is previously provided in the articles | goods.

  In FIG. 4, a gift-side server access code 5A and a receiving-side server access code 5B are provided on a tag 4T of an article 6 such as a prize of a prize acquisition game device, and cutting processing such as a perforation and a cut provided in the center is performed. The receiving server access code 5B can be left in the article 6 by separating the gift server access code 5A from the weakened portion. The prize loaded in the prize acquisition game device is already attached with a tag, but can be easily applied by providing a gift-side server access code 5A and a receiving-side server access code 5B.

  In FIG. 5, a gift-side server access code 5A and a receiving-side server access code 5B are printed in advance on the packaging of an article 6 such as confectionery (eg chocolate), and a seal-like gift-side server access code 5A Is removed so that the receiving server access code 5B can be left on the article 6.

  In FIG. 6, at the time of printing an article 6 such as a fortune telling result sheet, a gift server access code 5A and a receiver server access code 5B are printed at the same time. By separating the server access code 5A, the receiving server access code 5B can be left on the article 6. The gift server access code 5A may be printed on another sheet. In this case, it is not necessary to separate the gift server access code 5A.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing according to the first embodiment.

  In FIG. 11, the gift-side user A obtains the message exchange card 4 (step S101) (as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the gift-side server access code 5A, the receiving-side server access (Excluding the case where the code 5B is added), the article 6 is acquired by purchase or game operation or the like (step S102), and pasted or enclosed in the receiving server access code 5B from the message exchange card 4 or the article Separation of the gift server access code 5A from 6 is performed (step S103).

  Thereafter, the gift-side user A reads the gift-side server access code 5A remaining at hand with his / her mobile phone 3A (step S104), and accesses the message board server 1 from the mobile phone 3A (step S105).

  The message board server 1 receives an access from the mobile phone 3A (step S106), and at that time, receives the unique number, the type code of the gifting side mode / receiving side mode, and the code for checking.

  Next, the message board server 1 checks whether the unique number is valid by checking the check code (step S107). If it is determined to be illegal, an error message is returned and no further processing is performed.

  Here, if it is determined that the check code is valid, the message board is generated in the “gift side mode” because the access is made by the gift server access code 5A, and no message has yet been input to the message board. Therefore, the message input mode is set, and a message to that effect is transmitted to the access source mobile phone 3A (step S108).

  In response to this, the gift-side user A inputs a message to the message board (step S109), and the message board server 1 registers the message (step S110). When inputting a message, the gifting user A may specify the design of the message board, and may register his / her e-mail address if necessary.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an image in each scene of the above-described steps S101 to S110, where (a) shows a state in which the gifting user A wants to exchange messages, and (b) shows that the gifting user A has The message exchange card 4 is obtained and the receiving server access code 5B is pasted on the article 6, (c) shows the gift server access code 5A left by the gifting user A from the mobile phone 3A. (D) shows a state in which the user A on the gift side inputs a message to the message board server 1 from the mobile phone 3A.

  Returning to FIG. 11, the gifting user A delivers the article 6 accompanied by the receiving server access code 5B to the receiving user B as a present (steps S111 and S112). Note that the delivery of the article 6 to the user B on the receiving side may be performed before the access to the message board server 1 described above (steps S104 to S110).

  Thereafter, the user B on the receiving side obtains the receiving server access code 5B added to the article 6 at an appropriate timing after separation from the user A on the gifting side (for example, after returning home or when checking the contents of the article). Read by own mobile phone 3B (read the QR code or read the wireless tag if the mobile phone 3B is equipped with a wireless tag reader / writer) (step S113), and access the message board server 1 from the mobile phone 3B. (Step S114).

  The message board server 1 receives access from the mobile phone 3B (step S115), and at that time, receives the unique number, the type code of the gifter side mode / receiver mode, and the code for check.

  Next, the message board server 1 checks whether the unique number is valid by checking the check code (step S116). If it is determined to be illegal, an error message is returned and no further processing is performed.

  Here, if it is determined that the check code is valid, the type code is the access by the receiving server access code 5B, and therefore the “receiving mode” is set, and the message is already sent to the message board by the user A on the giving side. Since it has been input, the registered message is transmitted to the access source mobile phone 3B as the message browsing mode (step S117), and the mobile phone 3B displays the message (step S118). If the message has not yet been stored, there is no message to be displayed, but to prevent the receiving user B from being bored, a standard message (for example, a greeting that matches the time of day ("Happy New Year," "Merry Christmas," " I ’d like to see you during the summer. ”) Etc.).

  In response, the user B on the receiving side optionally inputs a message to the message board from the reply field or the like (step S119), and the message board server 1 registers the message (step S120). When inputting a message, the receiving user B may specify the design of the message board, and may register his / her e-mail address if necessary.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an image in each scene of the above-described steps S111 to S120. (A) is a state in which the gifting user A presents the article 6 to the receiving user B, and (b) in FIG. The receiving user B notices the receiving server access code 5B of the article 6, (c) shows that the receiving user B has accessed the message board server 1 from the mobile phone 3B by the receiving server access code 5B. The state, (d) shows the state where the receiving user B has confirmed the message with the mobile phone 3B, and (e) shows the state where the receiving user B has input the reply message with the mobile phone 3B.

  Returning to FIG. 11, after that, the gifting-side user A reads the gifting server access code 5A remaining at hand with his / her mobile phone 3A (step S121), and accesses the message board server 1 from the mobile phone 3A (step S121). S122).

  The message board server 1 receives access from the mobile phone 3A (step S123), and at this time, receives the unique number, the type code of the gifting side mode / reception side mode, and the check code.

  Next, the message board server 1 checks whether the unique number is valid by checking the check code (step S124). If it is determined to be illegal, an error message is returned and no further processing is performed.

  Here, if it is determined that the check code is valid, the message is generated by the “giving side mode” since the type code is the access by the giving side server access code 5A, and the receiving side already generates the message board. Since the reply message is input by the user B, the registered reply message is transmitted to the access source mobile phone 3A as the message viewing mode (step S125), and the mobile phone 3A displays the message (step S126). On the other hand, a message can be input again by a reply column or the like.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an image in each scene of the above steps S121 to S126. (A) is a state in which the gifting user A is waiting for a reply, and (b) is a gifting user A in the state. A state in which the message board server 1 is accessed from the gift-side server access code 5A remaining at hand from the mobile phone 3A, and (c) shows a state in which the gift-side user A has confirmed the message on the mobile phone 3A.

  Thereafter, the message exchange can be repeated any number of times. If you do not want to know the message from the other party, unlike mail, you do not have to access the message board. If you discard the gifting server access code 5A or the receiving server access code 5B, you cannot access it. If you feel uncomfortable with the message remaining, you may be able to delete the message board (cannot be restored).

  Although not shown in FIG. 11, if the user A on the gifting side has registered his / her mail address when inputting a message (step S109), the user B on the receiving side has browsed the message board, Send an email telling you that you have replied to the message to the registered email address. The message itself may be described and transmitted in this notification mail (in this case, the gifting user A does not need to view the message board), or the URL of the message board may be described. If the URL of the message board is described, the message board server 1 can be accessed even if the message exchange card 4 or the like is discarded or lost.

  Similarly, if the receiving user B has registered his / her e-mail address at the time of message input (step S119), that the giving user A has viewed the message board and has responded to the message. Send the teaching email to the registered email address.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of a standard message (a message prepared in advance by the system that is displayed when the receiving side accesses even if the gifting side does not register). As shown in FIG. 15A, the message exchange card 4 is shown. By inputting a standard message such as “Happy Birthday!” From the beginning in correspondence with “Birthday” or the like, it can be displayed when accessed from the mobile phone 3B on the receiving side as shown in FIG. If you want to put your own message from the beginning, you can't handle it when you are busy or busy, but you can eliminate such inconvenience by introducing a standard message. Of course, it is possible to add or change later by simply entering a standard message from the beginning.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of the unified design of the message exchange card 4 and the message board. In the case of a single message exchange card 4, as shown in (a), a message exchange card with a design (design / ubiquity card) 4 is prepared (multiple types are prepared), and the unique code of the message exchange card 4 By determining the correspondence rule of the design or managing the correspondence table by the message board server 1, the message board design corresponding to the design of the message exchange card 4 can be changed to the mobile phone 3A, as shown in FIG. 3B can be displayed. If the design of the message exchange card 4 is the same as the design of the message board (color, background pattern, character, etc.), the message exchange card 4 can be written, and the connection between the card and the net Feeling and seamless feeling can be further improved.

  The user does not attach the gift-side server access code to the item later, but the gift-side server access code 5A and the receiving-side server access code 5B are initially applied to the item (product) 6 as shown in FIG. When equipped, the correspondence between the type of the article 6 and the gift-side server access code 5A and the receiving-side server access code 5B can be managed in advance, so that a message board corresponding to the product type can be provided. For example, if it is a Valentine product (chocolate etc.), the message board of the design suitable for Valentine can also be displayed automatically.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram showing an example of integrated management of a plurality of unique codes.

  Since the message exchange card 4 is linked to each item, when the number of items such as presents increases, as shown in (a), the gifting user A has a large number of message exchange cards 4. It is necessary to keep it, and management becomes troublesome. Therefore, convenience can be improved by managing the message exchange card 4 in which the same mail address or user ID is registered in an integrated manner.

  In this case, when the gifting user A accesses the message board server 1 from the mobile phone 3A using one of the message exchange cards 4 in which his / her mail address is registered, as shown in FIG. The server 1 reads the mail address associated with the unique code of the message exchange card 4 from the table, and selects the unique codes of all the message exchange cards 4 associated with the mail address.

  Then, as shown in (c), a list of gift-side messages and receiving-side messages corresponding to the unique codes of all the selected message exchange cards 4 is displayed (one thread is displayed for each message exchange card, The images are arranged vertically), and the reply can be entered on the same page.

  If this mechanism is introduced, it is sufficient that one message exchange card 4 is at hand, and other cards may be stored separately or discarded. In addition, it is more convenient for the user to notify that the other party has read the message and that the other party has written the reply, not one by one, but periodically (for example, every day). Increases sex.

  FIG. 18 is a diagram showing another application example, which is not intended for an article presented to the other party, but intended for an article owned by the other party. That is, when the users A and B play a video game as shown in (a), the returning user A pastes the receiving server access code 5B on the article 6 such as a game pad as shown in (b). Thus, as shown in (c), the remaining user B reads the receiving server access code 5B with the mobile phone 3B, so that the message from the user A can be seen as shown in (d).

  FIG. 19 is a diagram showing still another application example, which is applied to an exchange diary so that it can be used as an old-fashioned new exchange diary for couples or girls.

  In use, each user who exchanges the diary puts a receiving server access code along with the diary, and the user who receives the diary reads the receiving server access code with a mobile phone and accesses the message board server, Read the contents.

  In this case, not only characters and pictures but also real voices, still images, and moving pictures are pasted, and since each sticker is independent, a message can be put on each sheet, and a sense of reading a real diary can be obtained.

  In addition, it is not directly written in the notebook, so security can be applied. For example, by setting a browsing password or registering the mobile phone ID in the server, even if another person picks up the exchange diary, You can keep secret.

  In addition, the present invention can be freely applied according to the idea of the user.
