Description

  The present invention relates to a business card & memo information linkage management device, a business card & memo information linkage management method, and a program for managing business card information stored in a business card DB (database) and memo information stored in a memo DB in cooperation with each other. About.

  In Japan, business cards are regarded as an extremely important business tool for obtaining personal information of customers. In recent years, business cards contain not only first and last names, company names, departments, titles, company addresses, and telephone numbers, but also e-mail addresses, home page addresses, and the like, and the amount of information is increasing. Moreover, the number of business cards that a normal businessman acquires per year ranges from several tens to several hundreds. Therefore, it is not always efficient to manage business cards in the form of paper cards. Therefore, in general, for a personal computer that uses an optical scanner or OCR (Optical Character Reader) to convert information printed on a business card into electronic information, and registers and manages the computerized business card information in a business card DB. A business card management system is available on the market.

  By the way, in the business card used in business, not only the information described in the business card as described above, but also the information accompanying the business card such as when, where and for what purpose the business card was used. In other words, memo information often plays an important role. Therefore, the memo information is often written on a paper business card.

  Therefore, in a commercially available business card management system for a personal computer, a remarks column is provided in the business card information, and electronic memo information can be provided in the remarks column. Patent Document 1 discloses an example of a business card exchange system for exchanging electronic business card information using a mobile phone. The business card information exchange function using the mobile phone has a free message, that is, A function for attaching memo information is provided. Patent Document 2 discloses an example of a business card information creation and management system that manages customer business card information acquired by a plurality of sales representatives using a server. In the management system, history information such as visits, that is, memo information, can be managed in association with a pair of a sales representative and a customer.

JP 2003-244340 A JP 2004-240757 A

  For example, when a customer visits a plurality of customers at the same time and receives business cards from the plurality of customers, the memo information is often written only on the business card of one of the customers. In such a case, for a business card customer for whom no memo information is entered, the relationship with the memo information is often lost. When the amount of memo information is large, the memo information is written not on the business card but on the notebook or notebook, and the full name of the customer who met at that time is entered as a part of the memo information. In this case, the memo information written on the notebook or notebook cannot be extracted from the business card side. In these cases, it is necessary that the memo information is related not only to one customer (one business card) but also to a plurality of customers (multiple business cards), and the association is not lost. It means that sex is big.

  By the way, in the business card exchange system described in Patent Literature 1, a free message (that is, memo information) attached to business card information is created on the side of passing the business card information. In this case, the memo information is information associated with the business card information on a one-to-one basis. Further, in the business card information creation management system described in Patent Document 2, for each sales person, the history information is memo information associated with each customer (business card). Further, the remark information in the commercially available business card management system for personal computers is also information associated with the business card information on a one-to-one basis.

  As described above, in the prior art, the memo information is handled as information that simply accompanies the business card information or information that forms part of the business card information. Therefore, the memo information is associated with one piece of business card information and is not considered to be associated with a plurality of business card information. Therefore, in a conventional business card management system or the like, when trying to associate memo information with a plurality of business card information, the operation is not necessarily comfortable for the user.

By the way, when trying to associate a certain piece of memo information with a plurality of business card information in a conventional business card management system or the like, it is necessary to create the same memo information independently for each of the plurality of business card information. there were. That is, the user performs an operation of (1) opening business card information of one customer, (2) creating memo information associated with the business card information of the customer, and registering it in the “remarks column” or the like. It has been necessary to repeat the business card information of a plurality of customers.
This operation procedure is the reverse of the natural operation procedure of (1) creating memo information and (2) associating the created memo information with business card information of a plurality of related customers. Therefore, the operation felt more troublesome for the user.

  Furthermore, conventionally, since memo information is handled as subordinate information of business card information, various restrictions are often set on the number of memo information, the amount of information, the type of information, and the like. For this reason, even when trying to associate new memo information with a certain business card information, there is a case where it cannot be associated unless the old memo information is erased or image information cannot be associated.

  In view of the above-described problems of the prior art, the present invention improves the operability when associating memo information with business card information, and improves the convenience of using memo information and business card information in cooperation. An object of the present invention is to provide a memo information linkage management device, a business card & memo information linkage management method, and a program.

  The business card & memo information linkage management device according to the present invention includes an information processing means, a storage means, an input means, and a display means. The storage means stores a business card DB for storing business card information records, and a memo. It has a memo DB for storing information records, and manages the business card information and the memo information stored in the business card DB and the memo DB, respectively. The feature is that the memo information record includes a business card record identification number field for storing a business card record identification number for identifying a business card information record stored in the business card DB in addition to a memo information field for storing memo information. One or more business card information records associated with the received memo information, the information processing means accepting the input of memo information via the input means, and the input means A process of extracting from the business card DB in accordance with user operation information input via the user, storing the received memo information in a memo information field of the memo information record, and extracting the business card of the one or more extracted business card information records Processing for storing a record identification number in a business card record identification number field of the memo information record; And the one or more business card the memo information record record identification number is stored, is to execute a processing for registering the memo DB.

  In the present invention, since the information for associating the business card information record and the memo information record is included in the memo information record, not the business card information record, the user can create the memo information independently from the business card information. Thus, even after the memo information is registered in the database, the memo information can be easily associated with the business card information. Therefore, the degree of freedom of operation until the user creates memo information and associates it with business card information increases.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, while improving the operativity at the time of associating memo information with business card information, the business card & memo information cooperation management apparatus which can improve the convenience which uses memo information and business card information in cooperation, business card & A memo information linkage management method and program are provided.

Further, here, it is assumed that the business card information record 311 includes fields for storing the front image file name, back image file name, group number, and the like of the business card. Here, the group number is information that can be arbitrarily set by the user, and is used to group business cards for the convenience of the user. As described above, the front image information and the back image information itself of the business card are stored in the sound / image file DB 33.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 3B, the memo information record 321 includes a memo record identification number that uniquely identifies the memo information record 321, a creator identification number that created the memo information record 321, and a creator attribute. , Security information, title of the memo information, date and time information when the memo information was created, location information, memo text as the main information of the memo information, audio / image file name attached to the memo information, etc. Consists of. Furthermore, the memo information record 321 includes one or more fields for storing a business card record identification number in addition to these fields. The business card record identification number is information for designating the business card information record 311 associated with the memo information record 321.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, since the memo information record 321 includes a field for storing the business card record identification number for identifying the business card information associated with the memo information, the user can arbitrarily input the memo information. Business card information can be arbitrarily associated with the created memo information at any time. The operation procedure will be described later.

  In FIG. 3B, the creator attribute is information for identifying, for example, the department or title of the creator of the memo information, and the security information is a browsing capable of browsing the memo information. This information identifies the department or title of a person. However, when a specific individual uses the specific business card & memo information cooperation management device 10 or 10a exclusively, the fields of the creator identification number, the creator attribute, and the security information are not necessarily required.
