In addition, the “business card description information” preferably includes a company URL, a department name, and the like. The “business card description information” and the “recipient information” may be information having the same structure. “ID” is information for identifying at least business card description information corresponding to the same recipient. The “ID” is preferably information for identifying all business card description information. It is preferable that the “ID” is automatically assigned by storage means (not shown) when the business card description information is stored.

  In this situation, it is assumed that the user has entered the transferer information input device 11 with the transferer information of the person specified by the company “PQZ” and the name “Kazuo Yamamoto”. This transferer information is shown in FIG. The transferer information in FIG. 6 includes “transferer identifier” and “transfer information”. Here, the “transfer identifier” is a set of information of “name” and “company name”. In other words, here, a person whose information related to personnel is changed is specified by name and company name. Then, in the transferee information of FIG. 6, it is assumed that the post has been raised (promoted) and the mail address has been changed accordingly. Further, for example, the input accepting unit 111 may automatically acquire the transferee information in FIG. 6 from newspaper article information on the Web.

  Next, the input receiving unit 111 of the transferer information input device 11 receives the transferer information of FIG. Then, the transfer person information transmission unit 112 transmits the transfer person information of FIG. 6 received by the input reception unit 111 to the transfer information notification device 12.

  Next, the transfer person information receiving unit 123 receives the transfer person information of FIG. Then, the notification recipient identifier acquisition unit 124 acquires the transferer identifier “Kazuo Yamamoto, PQZ” included in the received transferer information and places it on the memory.

  Next, the notification recipient identifier acquisition unit 124 stores the title and e-mail address which are information corresponding to the change information included in the received transferee information in the record of the recipient identifier “1234” and ID “521”. The information “Department Manager, yamamoto@pqz.com” is acquired.

  Next, the notification recipient identifier acquisition unit 124 indicates that the transfer information “director, kazu@pqz.com” included in the received transferee information does not match the acquired information “department manager, yamamoto@pqz.com”. to decide. Then, the notification recipient identifier acquisition unit 124 acquires the recipient identifier “1234”.

  Next, the notification destination information acquisition unit 125 acquires notification destination information (here, mail address “taro@xyz.com”) that is paired with the recipient identifier “1234” from the recipient information management table of FIG. Then, the acquired notification destination information “taro@xyz.com” is added to the buffer.

  As described above, the notification recipient identifier acquisition unit 124 repeatedly checks the subsequent records in the recipient name card exchange information management table of FIG. 5 using the transferee identifier “Kazuo Yamamoto, PQZ”.

  Next, the notification recipient identifier acquisition unit 124 is a record in the recipient name card exchange information management table of FIG. 5, and the record of the recipient identifier “1122” and ID “3891” is the transferee identifier “ It is determined that the record includes “Kazuo Yamamoto, PQZ”.

  Next, the notification recipient identifier acquisition unit 124 acquires the information “director, kazu@pqz.com” of the post and mail address in the record of the recipient identifier “1122” and ID “3891”. Then, the notification recipient identifier acquisition unit 124 determines that the transfer information “director, kazu@pqz.com” included in the received transferee information matches the acquired information. Therefore, Hanako Inoue identified by the recipient identifier “1122” has already received the business card after the promotion of Kazuo Yamamoto, and does not need to notify the promotion of Kazuo Yamamoto.

  Next, the notification recipient identifier acquisition unit 124 is a record in the recipient name card exchange information management table of FIG. 5, and the record of the recipient identifier “5677” and the ID “5671” is the transferee identifier “Kazuo Yamamoto”. , PQZ ”.

  Next, the notification recipient identifier acquisition unit 124 acquires the information “Department Manager, yamamoto@pqz.com” of the post and mail address in the record of the recipient identifier “5677” and ID “5671”. Then, the notification recipient identifier acquisition unit 124 determines that the transfer information “director, kazu@pqz.com” included in the received transferee information does not match the acquired information “department manager, yamamoto@pqz.com”. To do. Then, the notification recipient identifier acquisition unit 124 acquires the recipient identifier “5677”.

  Next, the notification destination information acquisition unit 125 acquires notification destination information (here, the mail address “tagawa@xyz.com”) that is paired with the recipient identifier “5677” from the recipient information management table of FIG. Then, the acquired notification destination information “tagawa@xyz.com” is added to the buffer.

  The above processing is repeated until all business card description information in FIG. 5 is checked, and the notification destination information acquisition unit 125 obtains a set of notification destination information shown in FIG.

  Next, the transfer information notifying unit 126 uses the notification destination information in FIG. 7 added in the buffer, and the transfer information received by the transfer information receiving unit 123 to one or more notification destinations indicated by the notification destination information. Send information via email. An example of the notified e-mail is shown in FIG. In addition, the transfer information notification unit 126, for example, flows the transfer person information into a predetermined template text to obtain the text shown in FIG. Such processing is a known technique.

  In this specific example, the transfer information update unit (not shown) assigns the title of the record (ID = “521”, “5677”) having the name “Kazuo Yamamoto” and the company name “PQZ” in FIG. It is preferable to change the mail address to “kazu@pqz.com”. Note that the transfer information update unit can be usually realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like. The processing procedure of the transfer information update unit is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded in a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).
