Description

  The present invention relates to a technology for automatically inputting personal information in an input form provided online.

  In recent years, opportunities to use online banking and online shopping are increasing. Along with this, there are many occasions where the user is required to input personal information such as the user's name and address on the web browser of his / her terminal. In general, such an input form has a relatively large number of input items from the viewpoint of security and the like, and the content to be input is the same even if the input form is different. There is. Thus, attempts have been made to automatically execute such input to the input form.

  For example, in Patent Document 1, when a proxy server requests web content requested by a user instead, and the content includes an input form, the proxy server adds personal information to the input form. A technique for transmitting to a user terminal is disclosed. Also, in Patent Document 2, when a user accesses a page including an input form, the form analysis server acquires the input form based on the location information, and information on input item attributes and input order to be input to items in the form. A technique for creating analysis result data describing the above and transmitting it to a user terminal is disclosed.

  In the techniques described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, the server side analyzes the input form and determines personal information to be input to each input item. This analysis is performed by searching for an <input> tag in an HTML (HyperText Markup Language) file.

  However, with such an analysis method, it is difficult to appropriately input personal information items to an input form having various formats. This is because there are various variations in attribute names of input items, and there is one or more data fields for one input item. If the number of correctly entered items in the completed form sent to the user terminal is small, the user re-enters the remaining items themselves or checks whether each item is entered in the correct data field. It is necessary to reduce the burden on the user.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a technology for automatically and automatically inputting personal information items in each field in an input form provided online.

  One aspect of the present invention is a management server that provides a client terminal with personal information for input in an input form provided online. This management server identifies a personal information storage unit that holds, for each user, item names and contents of personal information to be input to data fields included in the input form, and a target input form that is an input target of personal information A target form information storage unit that holds, for each target input form, identification data for mapping, mapping data that associates a field name that identifies a data field included in the target input form and the name of the personal information item, and the identification data Alternatively, when the mapping data is updated, the update unit that transmits the updated identification data or mapping data to the client terminal and the notification of the acquisition of the target input form from the client terminal, the user's personal information item is Personal information search unit that searches from personal information storage and sends to client terminal , Comprising a.

  According to this aspect, the client terminal side provides the mapping data associating the field name in each target input form with the personal information item name registered in advance and the personal information item of the user from the management server to the client terminal. It becomes possible to input a personal information item into each data field of the target input form.

  Another aspect of the present invention is a client terminal that receives personal information from a management server and inputs personal information into an input form provided online. This client terminal is predetermined as an identification data holding unit that holds identification data for identifying a target input form that is an input target of personal information, and a field name that specifies a data field included in the target input form. When the mapping data holding unit that holds the mapping data that associates the name of the personal information item for each target input form and the identification data or mapping data managed in the management server are updated, the updated identification data or mapping The update confirmation unit that receives the data and stores it in the identification data holding unit or the mapping data holding unit, and when the input form is acquired at the client terminal, the identification data in the identification data holding unit is referred to and the input form is the target input form. Object to determine whether there is The personal information item with reference to the mapping data in the mapping data holding unit and the personal information acquisition unit that receives the user's personal information item from the management server when it is determined to be the target input form A form input unit for inputting into a corresponding data field of the input form.

  According to this aspect, the target input form is received on the client terminal side by receiving the mapping data associating the field name in each target input form with the personal information item name registered in advance and the user's personal information item from the management server. It becomes possible to input a personal information item in each data field.

  It should be noted that any combination of the above-described constituent elements and a representation of the present invention converted between an apparatus, method, system, program, recording medium storing the program, etc. are also effective as an aspect of the present invention.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to automatically and accurately input personal information items in each data field in an input form provided online.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of a personal information input system 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the personal information input system 10, personal information of the user can be automatically input into a predetermined input form displayed on the web browser of the client terminal 50 used by the user registered in advance.

The client terminal 50 is typically a personal computer, and is connected to a network 14 such as the Internet via a network connection device such as a network interface card (NIC). The client terminal 50 includes a user interface such as an input device such as a keyboard and a mouse and an output device such as a display. In addition, a web browser is introduced into the client terminal 50. A web browser communicates with a web server specified by a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) or IP (Internet Protocol) address based on the HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) protocol, etc., acquires a web page, and analyzes the acquired web page The result is rendered on the display of the client terminal. The web page handled in this embodiment is described in a markup language such as SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language), HTML (HyperText Markup Language), or XML (eXtensible Markup Language). A script language such as a Java script may be included in the web page.
In addition to the personal computer, the client terminal 50 may be a terminal having a wireless communication function, such as a PDA, a smartphone, a mobile phone, or the like.

  The web server 12 transmits a predetermined web page in response to the HTTP request from the client terminal 50. In this embodiment, the web server 12 is managed by a bank, a securities company, an online shopping company, or the like, and an input form for opening a bank account, opening a securities account, or registering customer information is given to the client terminal 50. It is intended for transmission.

  The management server 20 manages personal information of a plurality of users, and holds data for automatically inputting personal information items in an input form provided from the web server 12. This will be described in detail later.

  The user registers his / her personal information in the management server 20 in advance. However, in the case where the personal information input function is provided in a form attached to another network service, personal information registered in the other service may be used.

  In the personal information input system 10 shown in FIG. 1, a web page read by the browser of the client terminal 50 is simply a “automatic input target input form” (hereinafter “automatic input target input form”). In other words, the personal information item to be entered in the input form is transmitted from the management server 20 to the client terminal 50. In the client terminal 50, the personal information item is input to the input form with reference to the mapping data for inputting the personal information item to an appropriate data field in the input form. Thereafter, the input target input form is transmitted from the client terminal 50 to the web server 12.

  The personal information input function in the client terminal 50 is realized by adding an automatic input program to the browser of the client terminal. For this reason, the user can use the above-mentioned functions with the same feeling as a normal browser. This automatic input program may be distributed to the client terminal 50 through the network 14, or may be obtained from a recording medium such as a CD or a DVD on which the program is recorded.

  Hereinafter, configurations of the management server 20 and the client terminal 50 will be described.

  FIG. 2 shows a configuration of a part related to automatic input of personal information according to the present embodiment in the management server 20 and the client terminal 50. These configurations can be realized in hardware by any computer's CPU, memory, and other LSIs, and in software, they are realized by programs loaded into the memory. Draw functional blocks. However, those skilled in the art will understand that these functional blocks can be realized in various forms by hardware only, software only, or a combination thereof. It should be noted that even functions that are not shown in FIG. 2 naturally have functions provided in a general web server and web browser.

  The management server 20 includes an authentication unit 22, a personal information storage unit 24, a personal information search unit 26, an update unit 28, and a target form information storage unit 30.

  The personal information storage unit 24 manages a personal information table in which personal information of a plurality of users is recorded. Registration of the user's personal information may be performed by an administrator of the server, or may be automatically performed by transmitting a predetermined registration form from the client terminal. Items of personal information to be registered are items commonly included in many input forms provided online. For example, the user's name, reading, gender, date of birth, address, telephone number, FAX number , Business name, address and phone number, email address, etc. Some items may not be included, and other items may be included. Also, not all items need to be registered for each user. The user's personal information item is stored in association with the user ID and password assigned to each user.

  The authentication unit 22 receives the user ID and password transmitted from the client terminal 50, and performs authentication to determine whether the user is a registered user. If the authentication is successful, the personal information search unit 26 is given the ID of the user.

  The personal information search unit 26 searches the personal information table in the personal information storage unit 24 using the user ID as a key, and acquires the personal information item of the user. Then, the personal information item is transmitted to the client terminal 50. The personal information search unit 26 may transmit all items of personal information obtained as a result of the search, but is included in the target input form with reference to mapping data 32 in the target form information storage unit 30 described later. Preferably, only the personal information item corresponding to the data field is transmitted.

  The target form information storage unit 30 holds target input form mapping data 32 and target input form identification data 34. These data are registered in the target form information storage unit 30 by the administrator of the management server 20.

  The identification data 34 is data for specifying an input form that is an automatic input target of personal information. The identification data is preferably location data such as the URL and IP address of the target input form, but may alternatively be the title of the target input form and the content of the article.

  The mapping data 32 is data that associates each item of the personal information table in the personal information storage unit 24 with the name of the data field in the target input form. For example, when the target input form is described in HTML, the name of the data field is data attached with the name attribute of the <input> tag or a character string arranged in front of the data field.

  In the present embodiment, the target input form for personal information input is determined by the server administrator, and the mapping data is created by manually analyzing the HTML data of the target input form. As described above, by manually creating the mapping data after referring to the display mode on the browser, accurate personal information can be input to the target input form.

  The update unit 28 responds to an update confirmation inquiry from the client terminal 50. That is, when the mapping data 32 and the identification data 34 are updated, these data are transmitted to the client terminal 50. In addition to the above processing, the update unit 28 may transmit an upgraded version of the client side personal information input program.

  On the other hand, the client terminal 50 includes an authentication information transmission unit 52, a target input form confirmation unit 54, a personal information acquisition unit 56, a form input unit 58, an update confirmation unit 60, a mapping data holding unit 62, and an identification data holding unit 64.

  The target input form confirmation unit 54 confirms whether or not the web page read by the browser is a predetermined target input form for personal information input. This confirmation is performed based on the identification data of the target input form input to the identification data holding unit 64. The confirmation is performed based on whether or not an address such as the URL of the read web page is included in the identification data. Alternatively, it may be confirmed whether or not the response form is based on whether or not a specific character string embedded in the HTML of the web page, for example, the title of the web page is included in the identification data.

  When the target input form confirmation unit 54 confirms that the web page is the target input form, the authentication information transmission unit 52 transmits user authentication information for receiving provision of personal information from the management server 20 to the management server 20. . More specifically, when the target input form is confirmed, the authentication information transmitting unit 52 displays a window for inputting user authentication information, typically a user ID and a password, on the browser, and prompts the user. Prompt them for input. When the user ID and password are input and a predetermined transmission button is pressed, the authentication information transmission unit 52 transmits the authentication information to the management server 20.

  The personal information acquisition unit 56 receives a user's personal information item transmitted after completion of user authentication in the management server 20. The received personal information item is sent to the form input unit 58.

  The form input unit 58 uses the HTML data of the target input form and the mapping data of the target input form held in the mapping data holding unit 62, and the data field corresponding to each item of the sent personal information The HTML data input to is created. The created HTML data is displayed on the browser of the client terminal as an input target input form. Thereafter, when the user clicks a transmission button or the like in the target input form, the input target input form is transmitted to the web server 12.

  It is preferable that the personal information item used for input is discarded without being stored on the client terminal after the input of the target input form is completed. Thereby, the outflow of personal information from the client terminal can be suppressed.

  The update confirmation unit 60 confirms whether or not the information related to the target input form has been updated with respect to the management server 20 at a predetermined timing. Here, the information regarding the target input form includes identification data indicating the address of the target input form for personal information input and mapping data of each target input form. If any information is updated, the information is received from the management server, and the mapping data in the mapping data holding unit 62 or the identification data in the identification data holding unit 64 is rewritten or added.

  It is preferable that the update confirmation unit 60 confirms whether or not the information related to the target input form has been updated with respect to the management server 20 every time the browser is started in the client terminal. This is because it is possible to avoid a situation in which personal information is input using old mapping data. However, the update confirmation unit 60 may confirm the update at another timing. For example, confirmation may be performed at the time of establishing a network connection, at a predetermined time during the network connection, or at a predetermined interval.

  Next, the operation of the management server 20 and the client terminal 50 configured as described above will be described.

  The management server 20 stores personal information of a plurality of users, and stores mapping data and identification data of the target input form. When the browser is activated on the client terminal 50, the update confirmation unit 60 confirms whether or not the mapping data and the identification data are updated. If updated, new data is transmitted from the update unit 28 to the client terminal 50.

  When the web page is read by the browser of the client terminal 50, the target input form confirmation unit 54 confirms whether the page is the target input form based on the identification data in the identification data holding unit 64. If it is the target input form, the authentication information transmitting unit 52 transmits user authentication information to the management server 20. After receiving authentication by the authentication unit 22, the personal information search unit 26 searches for the personal information item of the user and transmits it to the client terminal 50.

  The transmitted personal information item is received by the personal information acquisition unit 56. The form input unit 58 matches the mapping data in the mapping data holding unit 62 with the HTML data of the target input form, and embeds the personal information item received from the management server 20 in the corresponding data field in the target input form. Display above.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of the personal information table 40 in the personal information storage unit 24. The item name column 42 represents item names of personal information. The content column 44 is content corresponding to each item, and one column is provided for each user. Item names include first name, last name, last name kana notation, first name kana notation, gender, date of birth, postal code, address, telephone number, etc. The number and type of items are arbitrary. Also, two or more item names may be integrated and recorded, or one item may be divided and recorded. For example, instead of using two items for the first name and last name as shown in the figure, the name may be managed as one item. Further, instead of setting the zip code as one item, it may be managed as two items such as the first three digits and the second four digits.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of the mapping data table 80 held in the target form information storage unit 30 and the mapping data holding unit 62. The item name column 82 has a one-to-one correspondence with the item name 42 of the personal information table 40. The field name column 84 indicates which data field corresponds to each item name of the personal information shown in the column 82, and one column is provided for each target input form. A line 86 represents the name of the provider of the target input form.

  The mapping data will be described. In the personal information table 40, the user's name is managed as two items of a first name and a last name, but two data fields are similarly provided in the input form, such as “last name” and “first name”. In some cases, one data field may be provided as the “name”. Also, there are cases where the contents are the same, such as “name” and “good name”, but only the way of calling is different. The mapping data is created to absorb such a difference, and plays a role of associating the personal information item name registered in the personal information storage unit 24 with the name of the field in each target input form.

  By using this mapping data, the form input unit 58 of the client terminal 50 can accurately input the personal information item received from the management server 20 into each data field in the target input form. For example, the contents “Suzuki” and “Ichiro” received as the items “Last name” and “First name” are combined and input into the data field named “Your name” on the target input form as “Ichiro Suzuki”. . In addition, the contents “999-9999” received as the item “zip code” are stored in the data field named “first half of the postal code” in the target input form and “999” in the data field named “second half of the postal code”. Enter "9999" separately. The same processing can be performed for addresses and telephone numbers. Furthermore, when selecting by radio button like gender, the corresponding item is selected based on the contents of the personal information item.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of a personal authentication window. As shown in the figure, every time a web page is read by the browser, the target input form confirmation unit 54 checks whether or not this page is the target input form. For example, this confirmation is made based on whether the address 92 of the web page matches the address held in the identification data holding unit 64. If it is confirmed that it is the target input form, the authentication information transmitting unit 52 displays a personal authentication window 94. In the personal authentication window 94, a user login ID entry field 95 and a password entry field 96 are displayed, and the user clicks the login button 97 after filling in these fields. In response to this, authentication information is transmitted to the management server 20 for authentication.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of the target input form 90 after personal information is automatically input. As described above, when a user is authenticated based on the authentication information input in FIG. 5, the personal information item of the user is transmitted from the management server. Thereafter, the personal information items corresponding to the respective data fields of the target input form are applied by the form input unit 58 (table 100 in the figure) and displayed on the browser.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart of the personal information input process.
The update confirmation unit 60 of the client terminal 50 inquires of the management server 20 about the presence or absence of update information at a predetermined timing such as when the browser is activated (S10). If the mapping data or the identification data has been updated, the update unit 28 of the management server 20 acquires these from the target form information storage unit 30 (S12) and transmits them to the client terminal 50 (S14). The update confirmation unit 60 stores the received update information in the mapping data holding unit 62 or the identification data holding unit 64 (S16).

  Thereafter, when the target input form confirmation unit 54 confirms that the target input form has been acquired in the browser (S18), the authentication information transmission unit 52 displays a personal authentication window (S20), and the user inputs the ID and password. Prompt. When the authentication information is transmitted to the management server 20 (S22), the authentication unit 22 performs authentication (S24). If the authentication information is successful, the personal information search unit 26 searches the user's personal information item ( S26), it returns to the client terminal 50 (S28).

  The form input unit 58 receives the personal information item and acquires mapping data of the target input form being displayed on the browser from the mapping data holding unit 62 (S30). Then, referring to this mapping data, each item of personal information is input to an appropriate data field of the target input form (S32) and displayed on the browser.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, by referring to the mapping data that associates the field name in each target input form with the registered personal information item name, the personal information item is accurately stored in the target input form. Can be entered. Therefore, it is not necessary for the user to check whether there is an error in the input portion, and the user's labor can be greatly reduced.

  Further, since the mapping data is prepared for each target input form, it is possible to absorb the difference in tag names that are different for each form, and therefore it is possible to input accurate personal information items.

  The personal information input program is introduced as an add-on to a browser installed in the client terminal. Therefore, the user can automatically check whether or not the input form is the target input form each time the web page is displayed on the browser without starting up the program.

  Furthermore, since it is automatically checked whether mapping data or identification data has been updated when the network connection is established or when the browser is activated, it is possible to always input the latest data.

  Conventionally, the input personal information is registered in each website, so that the input is omitted from the next time. However, this method is not preferable from the viewpoint of information security because personal information is registered in many web servers. In this embodiment, personal information is managed on the management server 20, and even when a personal information item is transmitted to the client terminal, the personal information item is not stored on the client terminal. Therefore, the leakage of personal information from the client terminal can be suppressed.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
In the first embodiment described above, although the personal information items are correctly input for the target input form, since the mapping data of the target input form is created manually, the number of target input forms is limited. It is preferable for the user that the number of forms for which personal information is input is large. Therefore, in this embodiment, a system will be described in which once a user inputs personal information into an input form, the input form is analyzed to create mapping data so that it can be automatically input from the next time.

  FIG. 8 is a functional block diagram illustrating configurations of the management server 20 and the client terminal 50 according to the second embodiment. The functional blocks already described are assigned the same reference numerals as in FIG. The functional block diagram shown in FIG. 8 is different from that shown in FIG. 2 in that a registration unit 74 is added on the management server 20 side, and a learning confirmation unit 70 and a learning data transmission unit 72 are added on the client terminal 50 side. .

  The learning confirmation unit 70 detects that the user's personal information has been input in an input form other than the target input form, and displays a window for confirming whether or not the user is to learn this input form. The learning confirmation unit 70 may determine that the web page being displayed is a kind of input form by analyzing resources or based on an address format. When the user replies to learning, the authentication information transmitting unit 52 transmits the authentication information to the management server 20 and the authentication unit 22 performs authentication.

  When the authentication is successful, the learning data transmission unit 72 acquires the content of the personal information entered by the user in the data field and the name of the data field from the HTML data of the input form. Then, the set of personal information input contents and data field names is transmitted to the management server 20.

When the registration unit 74 receives a set of personal information input contents and field names from the client terminal 50, the registration unit 74 determines which item in the personal information table each field name matches using the personal information as a key. For example, when the personal information “Yamada” and the field name “name” are a set, the registration unit 74 refers to the personal information table so that the personal information “Yamada” corresponds to the item “last name”. Therefore, the item “last name” and the field name “name” are associated with each other and stored in the target form information storage unit 30 as personal mapping data of the input form. As another example, when the personal information “Taro Yamada” and the field name “name” are a set, the registration unit 74 refers to the personal information table so that the field name “name” It can be determined that the table corresponds to a combination of the items “last name” and “first name”. Therefore, the registration unit 74 associates the field name “name” with both the items “last name” and “first name”, and stores them in the target form information storage unit 30 as personal mapping data of the input form.
When the storage of the personal mapping data is completed for all sets, the address information of the learned input form is registered in the target form information storage unit 30 as personal identification data.

  The personal mapping data and personal identification data stored in the target form information storage unit 30 by the above processing are treated as data dedicated to individual users who have learned the input form, and are separate from the mapping data and identification data common to all users. Saved. Thereafter, the personal mapping data and personal identification data of the input form learned this time are updated by the update confirmation unit 60 of the client terminal 50 of the same user who has learned the input form. The mapping data holding unit 62 and the identification data holding unit 64 Are held respectively. After the personal mapping data and the personal identification data are transmitted to the client terminal 50 of the learned user, these data may be deleted from the target form information storage unit 30.

  As a result, when the same input form that the user has learned before is displayed again on the browser, the target input form confirmation unit 54 confirms that this form is the target input form, and then the form input unit 58 makes it possible to input a personal information item in each field in the target input form.

  FIG. 9 shows an example of the learning confirmation window 120. When the input of personal information by the user is completed on the input form 110 that is not the target of personal information input, the learning confirmation unit 70 displays a learning confirmation window 120 as shown in the figure to determine whether or not to learn. Contact When the button 122 is clicked, the input form mapping data is newly created as described above.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a mapping data learning process according to the second embodiment.
When the target input form confirmation unit 54 of the client terminal 50 determines that the input form currently displayed on the browser is not the target (S50), the user inputs personal information into the input form by himself (S52). ). When the input is completed, a learning confirmation window for inquiring whether the learning confirmation unit 70 learns the mapping data is displayed (S54). When the user selects learning, the learning data transmission unit 72 acquires the contents of personal information and field names from the input form (S56), and transmits them to the management server 20 (S58). The registration unit 74 analyzes the correspondence between the field name in the input form and the item name in the personal information table (S60), and stores the result in the target form information storage unit 30 as personal mapping data (S62).

  As described above, in this embodiment, even if the input form is not subject to personal information input, mapping data is newly created by using the content of the personal information input by the user himself, and the target input is performed. You can increase the form.

  Alternatively, personal mapping data is learned for the same input form from a plurality of users, and as a result, the personal mapping data stored in the target form information storage unit 30 has the same content for a predetermined number of times ( For example, when it is confirmed 10 times or more, the personal mapping data may be applied to all users. In this case, the mapping data is added to the mapping data table 80, and the address information of the input form is registered in the target form information storage unit 30 as identification data. As a result, all users' client terminals are recognized as target input forms.

  The present invention has been described based on some embodiments. Those skilled in the art will understand that these embodiments are exemplifications, and that various modifications of each component and combination of each processing process are possible, and such modifications are also within the scope of the present invention. By the way. Hereinafter, some of such modifications will be described.

  In the initial state, item names not included in the personal information table may be learned. For example, general items of personal information are recorded in the personal information table of the personal information storage unit, but the input form may have unique input items.
