  Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. This is merely an example, and the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to this.

[Overview of User Related Information Viewing System 1]
FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining an overview of a user-related information viewing system 1 which is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The outline of the user related information viewing system 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The user terminal 10 includes a user list such as an address book in a storage unit. The user terminal 10 transmits a request for user related information to the reference server 200 when the address book is opened or when a search instruction is received from the user (step S01).

  This request includes parameters for search, and user-related information that matches the parameters is transmitted from the reference server 200. The parameter may be a phrase such as “Yakiniku” or “100-yen shop” as well as an identifier such as a telephone number or a user name, or may be positional information such as “Minato-ku, Tokyo”.

  The reference server 200 that has received the request acquires parameters, and extracts user-related information that matches the search condition from the user-related information database 250 stored in the storage unit (step S02). When the parameter is an identifier, the user is extracted by the identifier. When the parameter is “restaurant”, user-related information including the word “restaurant” in the user-related information is extracted. Here, the user is not necessarily limited to a person, and may be an information provider such as a corporation, a building, a website, a theme park, or the like as long as it has an identifier.

  The reference server 200 transmits the extracted user related information to the user terminal 10 (step S03). In the example illustrated in FIG. 1, a result is shown when a request is transmitted with the telephone numbers as identifiers “090-AAAAA-AAAA” and “03-CCCC-CCCC” as parameters.

  The user terminal 10 outputs the received user related information on the screen (step S04). In FIG. 1, it is drawn off the screen, but it is only for showing an overlap. In addition, display conditions can be set for the user-related information. For example, “Konan Restaurant” sets the time and place as the display conditions, and the user-related information is displayed on the screen only when the conditions are satisfied (step S05). Here, the display condition may be determined at the time of extraction by including information in the parameter, or the user terminal may perform the determination after reception.

  For user-related information, a reservation button is displayed on the screen as shown in Fig. 1, and when pressed down, the web browser cooperates to open or communicates directly with the reservation system to start the reservation procedure. You can do it. User-related information is basically updated by the user himself / herself, but as indicated as a “value campaign”, content on a specific web server or the Internet is collected, and part of the user-related information is automatically May be updated automatically.

Further, the user-related information may be a map, a coupon, etc., in addition to business hours and regular holidays that are email addresses and store information, and contents that can be displayed by identifying the individual who owns the user terminal 10 For example, the exchange of the latest message with the user may be automatically registered.
Further, by setting a display condition related to time only to a part of the user-related information, for example, specific information may be displayed only at the time of time sale. The above is the outline of the user related information viewing system 1.

[System Configuration of User Related Information Viewing System 1]
FIG. 2 is a system configuration diagram of the user-related information viewing system 1 which is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The user-related information viewing system 1 includes a user terminal 10, another terminal 50, a reference server 200, a user-related information database 250, and a public line network 3 (Internet network, third generation, fourth generation communication network, etc.). .

  The user terminal 10 is communicably connected to the reference server 200 via the public line network 3. The user related information database 250 is stored in the storage unit of the reference server 200. In order for the user terminal 10 to connect to the public line network 3, communication may be possible via a network device such as a router.

  The user terminal 10 may be a general information terminal having a call function, in which a user browses a web page and performs a procedure, and is an information device or an electrical appliance having a function described later.

  The other terminal 50 is an example of a terminal from which user-related information is acquired by the user terminal 10. Here, the other terminals 50 do not necessarily have to be connected to the reference server 200 so as to be communicable. For example, even if the other terminal 50 is a fixed telephone and is not connected to the public line network 3, the owner of the other terminal 50 sets a pair of the identifier and the other terminal 50 in the user related information database 250. In order to register user-related information in the reference server 200, a terminal other than the other terminal 50 may be used.

  The reference server 200 includes a user related information database 250 and transmits user related information in response to an inquiry from the user terminal 10.

[Description of each function]
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating the functional blocks of the user terminal 10 and the reference server 200 and the relationship between the functions.

  The user terminal 10 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and the like as the control unit 11, and the communication unit 12 is, for example, WiFi (Wireless) compliant with IEEE 802.11. A device compatible with Fidelity or a wireless device conforming to the IMT-2000 standard such as a third generation mobile communication system is included (may be a wired LAN connection).

  Further, the user terminal 10 includes a data storage unit using a hard disk or a semiconductor memory as the storage unit 13. Furthermore, the user terminal 10 includes a display unit that outputs and displays data and images controlled by the control unit as the input / output unit 14, and also includes a touch panel, a keyboard, a mouse, and the like that receive input from the user or supporter. Further, the user terminal 10 includes position information acquisition means for acquiring position information of the current position of the terminal as a part of the input / output unit 14. Here, the user terminal 10 includes a user list 25 in the storage unit 13.

  In the user terminal 10, the control unit 11 reads a predetermined program, thereby realizing the user related information acquisition module 15 and the display condition acquisition module 16 in cooperation with the communication unit 12. Further, in the user terminal 10, the control unit 11 reads a predetermined program, thereby realizing the identifier acquisition module 17 and the identifier storage module 18 in cooperation with the storage unit 13. In the user terminal 10, the control unit 11 reads a predetermined program, thereby realizing the user related information display module 19 and the display condition determination module 20 in cooperation with the input / output unit 14.

  Similarly, the reference server 200 includes a CPU, a RAM, a ROM, and the like as the control unit 201, and includes, for example, a WiFi compatible device compliant with IEEE 802.11 (may be wired) as the communication unit 202. In addition, the reference server 200 includes a data storage unit such as a hard disk or a semiconductor memory as the storage unit 203. The reference server 200 includes a user related information database 250 in the storage unit 203.

  In the reference server 200, when the control unit 201 reads a predetermined program, the user related information transmission module 204 and the extraction parameter acquisition module 205 are realized in cooperation with the communication unit 202. In the reference server 200, the control unit 201 reads a predetermined program, thereby realizing the user related information extraction module 206 in cooperation with the storage unit 203.

[User related information display processing]
FIG. 4 is a flowchart of the user related information display process executed by the user terminal 10 and the reference server 200. The processing performed by the module of each device described above will be described together with this processing.

  First, the user-related information acquisition module 15 of the user terminal 10 acquires user-related information at a preset update interval, when a user list is opened, or at a timing when an input from the user is received. . At this time, it is determined whether a search parameter other than the identifier is used in the search for user related information (step S11). Here, the user list is a set of user information including an identifier, and specifically includes an address book, but is not limited thereto. The identifier is information that can uniquely identify the user terminal, and may be a telephone number, a user name, a mail address, or the like. In the following description, it is assumed that the user list is an address book and the identifier is a telephone number.

  For example, when the user uses a search parameter other than the identifier, such as when the search word input screen is opened (step S11: “YES”), the user related information acquisition module 15 accepts input of the search parameter (step S12). Here, the search condition may be a combination of a condition other than the identifier and a condition using the identifier, and a complicated search condition for obtaining an arbitrary result is set by using an AND, OR, NOT condition or the like. It may be possible.

  On the other hand, when a search is performed using only the identifier, such as when the address book is opened or a user in the address book is clicked (step S11: “NO”), the identifier acquisition module 17 identifies the identifier from the user list. Is used as a parameter (step S13). Here, the parameter identifier is not limited to one, and may be plural.

  FIG. 5 is an example of a search condition input screen displayed on the user terminal 10. In addition to the identifier input form 51, the search word input form 53, and the position information input form 54, a phone number quotation button 52 from the address book, a current position acquisition button 55, and the like are provided. It should be noted that the input of the position information here contributes to the search and is not necessarily used for the determination of the display condition described later.

  The user can start the search by depressing the search button 57. Further, by checking the check box 56, when the acquired search result is not registered in the address book as the user list, the registration can be automatically performed. This search screen is displayed in step S12, and it is considered that the user list is simply displayed in step S13.

  Next, the user related information acquisition module 15 transmits a request for user related information together with the search parameter to the reference server 200 (step S14). The extraction parameter acquisition module 205 of the reference server 200 acquires a search parameter as an extraction parameter from the received request (step S15).

  Next, the user related information extraction module 206 of the reference server 200 extracts the user related information satisfying the condition regarding the acquired extraction parameter from the user related information table in the user related information database 250 stored in the storage unit (step). S17). For example, when the extraction parameter is an identifier, user-related information stored in association with the identifier is extracted, or when the extraction parameter is a phrase, the user-related information is searched by the phrase, Search for words that co-occur with phrases, synonyms, or closely related words.

  FIG. 7 is an example of a user related information table in the user related information database 250. In the user related information table, a telephone number as an identifier, a name, related information, and display conditions are stored. Here, since the telephone number is positioned as a primary key in the table, as long as there is data, a one-to-one result is obtained for one identifier as an extraction parameter. On the other hand, for extracted parameters such as phrases and position information, a plurality of results can correspond to one parameter.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the related information can include not only personal information but also information to be advertised. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of privacy, personal information can be displayed only when the other party is a friend who satisfies a certain standard, such as exchanging telephone numbers. In addition, it is also possible to insert vacant seat information, a user form such as a button, and personal information such as a mail history by using a specific function defined by the user.

  Next, the user related information transmission module 204 of the reference server 200 transmits the extracted user related information to the user terminal 10 (step S17). Here, when the extraction parameter does not include information related to the search condition of the user related information, the search condition is also transmitted. The user related information acquisition module 15 of the user terminal 10 receives the user related information (step S18).

  Here, if there is an unregistered identifier in the user list among the identifiers associated with the received user related information, the identifier storage module 18 may store the identifier in the user list (step S19). As an example, the telephone number of the store obtained as a result of the search is registered in the address book. This step may be performed in response to user input.

  Next, the display condition acquisition module 16 acquires display conditions for the user related information from the received data (step S20). This display condition can be set from the viewpoint of security, but originally it has a strong personality as a recommendation for increasing the value of information. Therefore, if the user terminal does not have an acquisition means such as location information, or if it is temporarily unavailable and it is impossible to acquire the criteria for determining display conditions, the right or wrong display is It is desirable to be set to.

  The display condition determination module 20 of the user terminal 10 determines whether or not the received user related information satisfies the display condition based on the current time and position information (step S21). When the display condition is not satisfied (step S21: “NO”), the user related information is not displayed. On the other hand, when the display condition is satisfied (step S21: "YES"), the user related information display module 19 displays the user related information on the display unit (step S22). When a plurality of user related information satisfying the search conditions are received at the same time, Step S21 and Step S22 may be performed for each of the plurality of user related information.

  FIG. 6 is an example of user-related information displayed on the screen of the user terminal 10. The telephone numbers 61 and 62, which are the identifiers as search parameters, and the user related information 63 and 64 as the search results are displayed. The user-related information is not only fixed information such as the user's mail address 65 but also a highly defined information such as vacant seat information 66 or a dialog such as a reservation button 67 by using a predefined function. In addition to characteristic content, it is possible to display information belonging to an individual at once, such as the mail history 68. In this embodiment, registration is performed for searching from the address book. However, if the telephone number of the search result is not registered, a “register in address book” button may be displayed.

  The above is the procedure of the user related information viewing process executed by the user terminal 10 and the reference server 200.

  The means and functions described above are realized by a computer (including a CPU, an information processing apparatus, and various terminals) reading and executing a predetermined program. The program is provided in a form recorded on a computer-readable recording medium such as a flexible disk, CD (CD-ROM, etc.), DVD (DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, etc.), for example.
