The first user terminal 11 is, for example, a computer, a portable information terminal, a mobile phone, a multifunctional mobile phone such as a so-called smartphone, a tablet terminal, or the like.

  The sender information storage unit 110 stores sender information. The sender information is information about the sender. The sender is, for example, a person who provides a mailed item or a delivery item. The person here is usually an individual, but may be a corporation or the like. The sender may be considered as the sender of the mailed item or the delivered item. The sender information is information described as information about the sender in, for example, a postal matter or a mailed item such as a letter or a delivery item. For example, it is information arranged in a field for arranging information on the sender, such as a template used when printing a postcard, a letter address, a label, or the like. The sender information is, for example, information on the first user who uses the first user terminal 11, and the sender indicated by the sender information is the first user. The sender information is, for example, information on the first user's name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, workplace, title, and family. The sender information is information that can be used as destination information indicating the first user, for example, when sending a mail to the first user (for example, when replying).

  The sender information includes, for example, identification information indicating the attribute of the sender and its attribute value. Attributes may be considered items. The identification information indicating the attribute is, for example, an attribute name. For example, the sender information is information having one or more sets of an attribute name “name” and an attribute value that is an actual name such as “Taro Nihon”.

  The sender information is stored in the sender information storage unit 110 in association with, for example, sender information identification information that is information for identifying the sender information. The sender information identification information may be any information as long as it is unique information that can identify the sender information.

The destination here is, for example, a destination for a mailed item or a delivered item. The mailed item is, for example, a postcard such as a New Year's card or a summer greeting card. The destination here is usually an individual, but may be a corporation or the like. The destination may be considered as a destination, an address such as a postcard or an envelope. The destination information is, for example, information related to the user's name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, workplace, title, and family. The destination information is information that can be used as a destination such as a postcard for the user, for example. The destination information includes, for example, identification information indicating an attribute corresponding to one or more pieces of information constituting the destination and its attribute value. The attribute here may be considered an item. At least a part of the destination information is, for example, information corresponding to at least a part of the sender information.

  The destination information includes, for example, sender information identification information. The sender information identification information included in the destination information is sender information identification information associated with the sender information corresponding to the destination information. The sender information corresponding to the destination information may be considered, for example, sender information indicating the same user as the destination user indicated by the destination information as the sender. The sender information corresponding to the destination information is sender information having information that matches at least a part of the information included in the destination information. The destination information having the sender information identification information that matches the sender information identification information associated with the one sender information is, for example, information having at least one piece of information corresponding to the one sender information. The fact that the sender information identification information included in one destination information matches the sender information identification information associated with the one sender information means that, for example, the destination user indicated by the one destination information This indicates that the user who is the sender indicated by the sender information is the same user.

  The destination information has, for example, attribute values of attributes corresponding to one or more of the attributes of the sender information. Corresponding attributes are associated in advance with, for example, matching attributes, information for managing association between attributes of sender information and attributes of destination information stored in a storage unit (not shown), and the like. Attribute. For example, when the attribute name “address” of the sender information is associated with the attribute name “address” of the destination information, the attribute value of the attribute “address” of the destination information is set to “address” of the sender information. This is the attribute value of the attribute of the corresponding destination information. The information associated by the information for managing the association is information having the same substantial attributes and contents.

  For example, the sender information and the destination information that match the sender information identification information have at least one or more corresponding (for example, matching) attributes, and the attribute values match.

  The update instruction receiving unit 122 receives the update instruction transmitted by the first user terminal 11. The update instruction receiving unit 122 only needs to be able to receive the update instruction transmitted from the first user terminal 11 as a result. For example, the update instruction receiving unit 122 may directly receive the update instruction transmitted by the first user terminal 11. Further, the update instruction receiving unit 122 may indirectly receive the update instruction transmitted by the first user terminal 11. Further, the update instruction receiving unit 122 may receive an update instruction transmitted from the first user terminal 11 via the server device 13.

  The update unit 123 updates the destination information stored in the destination information storage unit 121 in accordance with the update instruction received by the update instruction reception unit 122. For example, the updating unit 123 updates the destination information having the sender information identification information that matches the sender information identification information associated with the update instruction received by the update instruction receiving unit 122. For update instructions that do not have destination information having matching sender information identification information, for example, the destination information is not updated. This update instruction is discarded, for example.

  The update unit 123 updates the destination information to be updated according to the information indicating the update content included in the update instruction. For example, the update unit 123 updates a portion of the destination information corresponding to the information indicating the update location included in the information indicating the update content using the update data included in the information indicating the update content. The part corresponding to the information indicating the update location refers to the attribute value (or the item) corresponding to the attribute (or item) of the destination information corresponding to the attribute (or item) indicated by the information indicating the update location included in the update instruction. Value). The corresponding attributes are the same as described above. Updating using update data means, for example, overwriting a part of the destination information corresponding to the information indicating the changed part with update data, or adding update data (including insertion). ) Or deleting a part of the destination information in accordance with the update data. The updating here is a concept including storing the updated destination information in the destination information storage unit 121 and deleting at least a part of the destination information from the destination information storage unit 121.

  For example, when the identification information (for example, attribute name) indicating the same attribute is different between the sender information and the destination information, the identification information of the attribute of the sender information indicating the same attribute and the identification information of the attribute of the destination information Is stored in a storage unit or the like (not shown), and the update unit 123 updates the part corresponding to the update content indicated by the update instruction using the information indicating the correspondence relationship. By detecting from the destination information that is the target of the update, the portion of the destination information corresponding to the information indicating the update location that the update instruction has can be updated. The information indicating the correspondence between the identification information of the attribute of the sender information indicating the same attribute and the identification information of the attribute of the destination information is, for example, the identification information of the attribute of the sender information indicating the same attribute and the identification information of the attribute of the destination information Information. For example, it is information having an attribute name “address” of sender information and an attribute name “address” of destination information.

  Note that the update unit 123 may update the destination information according to a command, script, or the like included in the update instruction.

  In addition, when the update instruction includes the sender information before update and the sender information after update, the part corresponding to the sender information before update in the destination information to be updated is the sender information after update. It may be updated so that For example, a part that matches the sender information before update may be detected from the destination information, and the detected part may be updated to become the sender information after update. For example, the updated sender information may be overwritten. The sender information before and after the update included in the update instruction here may be a part of the sender information.

  The update unit 123 can usually be realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like. The processing procedure of the updating unit 123 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded on a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

  The request information transmission unit 124 transmits the request information to the server device 13. The request information is information for requesting transmission of an update instruction. The request information transmission unit 124 transmits the request information at a timing designated in advance. The timing designated in advance is, for example, when the second user terminal 12 is activated. When the second user terminal 12 is realized by executing an application program, the timing designated in advance may be when the application program is started. The timing designated in advance may be the timing when the user inputs an instruction for transmitting the request information to the reception unit 127 or the like.

  For example, the request information transmission unit 124 transmits request information having second user terminal identification information. The second user terminal identification information is identification information of the second user terminal 12 that transmits the request information. The second user terminal identification information is, for example, address information such as an IP address or a Mac address of the second user terminal 12. The second user terminal identification information may be sender information identification information of a second user who uses the second user terminal 12 or sender information identification information corresponding to the second user. The second user terminal identification information may be user identification information of the second user.

  The request information transmission unit 124 acquires, for example, sender information identification information that each of one or more destination information stored in the destination information storage unit 121 has, and obtains request information having the acquired sender information identification information, You may make it transmit to the server apparatus 13. FIG. This sender information may be acquired at the time of transmission of request information, or may be acquired in advance at different timings. The request information transmission unit 124 is usually realized by a wireless or wired communication means.

  The request information may be information that allows the server device 13 to determine that the transmission of the update instruction is requested, and may not include a command for requesting the transmission of the update instruction. For example, the second user terminal identification information as described above or the sender information identification information included in the destination information may be used as a request instruction.

  The update related management information storage unit 125 stores one or more update related management information. The update related management information includes the update content of the sender information and update related information that is information related to the update content.

  Specifically, the update content of the sender information is information that can identify the update content of the sender information. The update content of the sender information is, for example, information indicating the update location of the sender information. For example, the update content of the sender information is identification information (for example, attribute name) indicating the attribute of the sender information to be updated. Further, the update content may include information indicating whether the update performed according to the update information is a change or a deletion.

  For example, the update-related information is information that is preferably notified to the second user in accordance with the update content. For example, the update-related information is information on a character string or an image that recommends the second user to send a postcard or the like corresponding to the update content to the first user corresponding to the sender information to be updated. is there. For example, there is an update content that is an attribute indicating the title of the user “title”, and update-related information that recommends sending a promotion celebration because “the title has been changed. Stored in association. Note that the update-related information may be information such as a name that the destination information corresponding to the update instruction has, that is, a function indicating a location where the name of the first user is input, a template having a regular expression, good. In this case, when outputting the update-related information, the update-related information output unit 126, which will be described later, for example, appropriately arranges and outputs the corresponding information acquired from the destination information in the function portion.

  Since the updated content of the sender information is reflected in the destination information having the same sender information, the updated content of the sender information here is the destination information having the same sender information identification information as the sender information. You can think of it as an update.

  The update related information output unit 126 acquires update related information corresponding to the update content of the sender information indicated by the update instruction received by the update instruction receiving unit 122 from the update related management information. Then, the update related information output unit 126 outputs the acquired update related information. For example, the update related information output unit 126 acquires the update content indicated by the update instruction received by the update instruction receiving unit 122. For example, the update content to be acquired is attribute or item identification information (for example, attribute name or item name) to be updated indicated by the update instruction. Then, the update related information associated with the update content that matches the acquired update content is acquired from the update related management information storage unit 125 by searching or the like. And the acquired update related information is output.

  For example, the update related information output unit 126 preferably outputs the acquired update related information in association with information indicating the destination information having the sender information identification information that matches the sender information identification information included in the update instruction. For example, the information indicating the destination information output here is at least a part of the information included in the destination information, for example. For example, the information indicating the destination information to be output may be a name or sender information identification information included in the destination information, or identification information assigned to the destination information having matching sender information identification information (for example, ID for managing records) or a button such as a link button for executing processing for outputting destination information having matching sender information identification information.

For example, it is assumed that the update content of the sender information indicated by the update instruction received by the update instruction receiving unit 122 is an attribute name “title”. That is, it is assumed that this update content is an update of the attribute value of the attribute “title” of the sender information. This update
It may be considered that the attribute value of the attribute of the destination information corresponding to the attribute “title” of the sender information is updated. The update related information output unit 126 acquires an attribute name “title” as update contents from the sender information, and acquires the attribute name acquired from the update related management information stored in the update related management information storage unit 125. Update-related management information having an attribute name corresponding to (for example, matching) that is “position” is detected, and update-related information of the detected update-related management information is acquired.

  Further, the update related information output unit 126 acquires the sender information identification information included in the update instruction received by the update instruction receiving unit 122, and detects the destination information having the matching sender information identification information from the destination information storage unit 121. The information indicating the destination information, for example, the attribute value of the attribute name “name” and the number uniquely assigned to the destination information are acquired.

  Then, the update related information output unit 126 outputs the update related information acquired above and information indicating the destination information.

  The output described here refers to display on a display, projection using a projector, printing on a printer, sound output, transmission to an external device, storage in a recording medium, output to another processing device or other program, etc. It is a concept that includes delivery of processing results. The same applies to the output unit 128 described below.

  The update related information output unit 126 may or may not include an output device such as a display or a speaker. The update related information output unit 126 can be realized by driver software of an output device or driver software of an output device and an output device.

  The accepting unit 127 accepts an operation for the second user terminal 12 from the second user. The accepted operation may be any operation, for example. The accepting operation is, for example, an operation for giving an instruction for outputting the destination information stored in the destination information storage unit 121. The input means for inputting the operation may be anything such as a numeric keypad, a keyboard, a mouse, or a menu screen. The accepting unit 127 can be realized by a device driver for input means such as a numeric keypad or a keyboard, control software for a menu screen, or the like.

  The output unit 128 outputs the destination information stored in the destination information storage unit 121. The output of the destination information is, for example, printing of the destination information on a postcard or an envelope. The postcard here is, for example, a New Year's card. For example, the output unit 128 prints data obtained by arranging one or more pieces of destination information on a template or the like stored in advance in a storage unit (not shown) on the address side of a postcard or envelope. The template information preferably includes information on an area where address information corresponding to the printing surface of a postcard is arranged, for example. Further, this template information may include information on an image or character string to be printed on a postcard in addition to information on an area where address information is arranged. This template information is, for example, template information for postcards such as New Year's cards, greetings during the summer, greetings during the mourning, and greetings during the cold. The output unit 128 may output an interface screen such as a menu screen.

  The output described here is a concept including display on a display, printing on a printer, transmission to an external device, storage in a recording medium, delivery of processing results to another processing device or another program, and the like. is there. If the output performed by the output unit 128 includes postcard printing such as New Year's cards, the second user terminal device 12 may be considered as a postcard printing device such as New Year's card printing apparatus.

  The output unit 128 may or may not include an output device such as a display or a speaker. The output unit 128 can be realized by output device driver software, or output device driver software and an output device.

  The first user terminal 11 described above is also provided with a reception unit and an output unit (not shown) similar to the reception unit 127 and the output unit 128 of the second user terminal 12, and the instructions received by the reception unit, etc. In response, the output unit may output the sender information stored in the sender information storage unit 110. For example, the sender information stored in the sender information storage unit 110 by an output unit (not shown) may be printed on a postcard or an envelope.

  The server device 13 is realized by, for example, a computer.

  The server reception unit 131 receives an update instruction from the first user terminal 11. The server reception unit 131 is usually realized by a wireless or wired communication means, but may be realized by a means for receiving a broadcast. The server reception unit 131 may or may not include a communication device.

  The update instruction storage unit 132 stores an update instruction. The update instruction stored in the update instruction storage unit 132 is specifically an update instruction received by the server reception unit 131. The storage here is a concept including temporary storage.

  The update instruction accumulation unit 133 accumulates the update instruction received by the server reception unit 131 in the update instruction storage unit 132. The update instruction storage unit 133 can usually be realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like. The processing procedure of the update instruction storage unit 133 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded on a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

  The request information receiving unit 134 receives request information from the second user terminal 12. The request information receiving unit 134 may not include the request information receiving unit 134 when the server device 13 does not transmit an update instruction according to the request information. The request information receiving unit 134 is usually realized by a wireless or wired communication means. The request information receiving unit 134 may or may not include a communication device.

  The server transmission unit 135 transmits the update instruction stored in the update instruction storage unit 132 to one or more second user terminals 12. For example, when the server reception unit 131 receives an update instruction, the server transmission unit 135 reads the update instruction from the update instruction storage unit 132 and transmits the update instruction to the second user terminal 12. The case where the update instruction is received may be considered immediately after the update instruction is received, for example. The server transmission unit 135 may transmit the update instruction stored in the update instruction storage unit 132 to all the second user terminals 12 or to some of the second user terminals 12.

  It does not matter how the server transmission unit 135 determines the second user terminal 12 that is the transmission destination of the update instruction stored in the update instruction storage unit 132. Hereinafter, two examples of how to determine the second user terminal 12 that is the transmission destination of the update instruction will be described.

(1) When Determining a Second User Terminal Designated in advance The server transmission unit 135 determines, for example, one or two or more second user terminals 12 designated in advance as transmission destinations of update instructions. For example, one or more second user terminal identification information is stored in advance in a storage unit (not shown), and the second user terminal 12 indicated by the second user terminal identification information stored in the storage unit is stored. The update instruction transmission destination may be determined. It does not matter how the second user terminal identification information is stored in this storage unit. For example, the second user terminal identification information corresponding to all the users belonging to the group to which the user of the first user terminal 11 and the user of the second user terminal 12 belong, for example, SNS (social network system), is not shown. It may be accumulated in advance in the storage unit.

(2) When determining for each update instruction The server transmission unit 135 determines the second user terminal 12 as the transmission destination for each update instruction stored in the update instruction storage unit 132, for example. For example, the second user terminal identification information, which is identification information of one or more second user terminals 12 that are the transmission destinations of the update instruction, and the second user terminal identification information indicated by each second user terminal identification information in advance. A storage unit (not shown) that stores correspondence management information that is associated with sender information identification information that one or more destination information of the user terminal 12 has (hereinafter referred to as a correspondence management information storage unit). Keep it.

  The server transmission unit 135 sequentially reads the update instructions stored in the update instruction storage unit 132, and sequentially acquires the sender information identification information included in the update instructions. Then, from the correspondence management information stored in the correspondence management information storage unit, the second user terminal identification information associated with the sender information identification information that matches the sender information identification information sequentially obtained is obtained, and the obtained second user terminal identification information is obtained. The second user terminal 12 indicated by the user terminal identification information is determined as the second user terminal 12 that is the transmission destination of each update instruction.

  Note that one or two or more sender information identification information corresponding to each second user terminal identification information is acquired from a correspondence management information storage unit (not shown), and an update instruction having any one of the acquired sender information identification information, You may make it determine in the update instruction storage part 132, and determine the detected update instruction to the update instruction transmitted to the 2nd user terminal 12 which each 2nd user terminal identification information shows.

  For example, when the request information reception unit 134 receives the request information, the server transmission unit 135 transmits the update instruction stored in the update instruction storage unit 132 to the second user terminal 12 that is the transmission source of the request information. You may do it. For example, when the request information includes the second user terminal identification information, the update instruction stored in the update instruction storage unit 132 may be transmitted to the second user terminal 12 indicated by the second user terminal identification information. . By doing in this way, it becomes possible to transmit an update instruction on demand at the timing set in the second user terminal 12, for example.

  When the request information receiving unit 134 receives the request information, the server transmission unit 135 stores an update instruction to be transmitted to the second user terminal 12 that is the transmission source of the request information in the update instruction storage unit 132. It does not matter how the update instruction is determined. Hereinafter, three examples of how to determine an update instruction to be transmitted to the second user terminal 12 that is a transmission source of request information will be described.

(A) Determination of all update instructions The server transmission unit 135 determines, for example, all update instructions stored in the update instruction storage unit 132 as update instructions to be transmitted. However, as will be described later, the update instruction once transmitted to the second user terminal 12 that is the transmission source of the request information may be excluded from the transmission target.

(B) Determination according to the second user terminal that is the transmission source of the request information The server transmission unit 135, for example, when the request information includes the second user terminal identification information, the second user terminal identification information included in the request information is An update instruction to be transmitted is determined according to the second user terminal 12 that is the transmission source. For example, as described in (2) above, the server device 13 is provided with a correspondence management information storage unit in which correspondence management information is stored. Then, the server transmission unit 135 acquires the second user terminal identification information included in the request information received by the request information reception unit 134, and corresponds to the second user terminal identification information that matches the acquired second user terminal identification information. The attached update instruction is detected from the correspondence management information, and the one or more detected update instructions are determined as transmission target update instructions. If the update instruction is not detected, the server transmission unit 135 does not transmit the update instruction.

(C) Determination according to sender information identification information included in the request information The server transmission unit 135, for example, when the request information includes one or more sender information identification information, any one of the sender information identification information Is determined as an update instruction to be transmitted. For example, the server transmission unit 135 is included in the request information when, for example, the request information includes one or more sender information identification information included in the one or more destination information stored in the destination information storage unit 121. Update instructions having the same sender information identification information as each sender information identification information are sequentially detected from the update instructions stored in the update instruction storage unit 132, and the detected update instructions are determined as update instructions to be transmitted. If the update instruction is not detected, the server transmission unit 135 does not transmit the update instruction.

  Hereinafter, in the present embodiment, the request information includes one or more sender information identification information, and the server transmission unit 135 performs a process as shown in (c) above to obtain the second request information transmission source. A case where an update instruction to be transmitted to the user terminal 12 is determined will be described as an example.

  It is preferable that the server transmission unit 135 does not transmit the same update instruction to the same second user terminal 12. For example, when the update instruction stored in the update instruction storage unit 132 is transmitted to all the second user terminals 12, each update instruction may be deleted after transmission. Alternatively, information such as a flag indicating that the information has been transmitted may be provided so that the update instruction to which the information is provided is not transmitted again.

  In the case where the update instruction is transmitted only to some of the second user terminals 12 at a time, such as when the update instruction is transmitted only to the second user terminal 12 that is the transmission source of the request information, For example, the second user terminal identification information or the like of the second user terminal 12 that transmitted the request instruction is associated with the transmitted update instruction, and the second user terminal 12 has already been associated with the second user terminal 12. The update instruction associated with the same second user terminal identification information as the 12 second user terminal identification information may not be transmitted.

  It does not matter how the server transmission unit 135 does not transmit the same update instruction to the same second user terminal 12.

  The server transmission unit 135 is usually realized by a wireless or wired communication means. In addition, the configuration for determining the second user terminal 12 that is the transmission destination of the update instruction of the server transmission unit 135 and determining the update instruction to be transmitted to the second user terminal 12 is based on an MPU, a memory, or the like. It may be realized. The processing procedure of the server transmission unit 135 in this case is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded on a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

  When the first user terminal 11 transmits an update instruction to one or more second user terminals 12 without going through the server transmission unit 135, the server device 13 is not provided in the destination management system 1. Also good.

  Next, an example of the operation of the first user terminal 11 of the destination management system 1 will be briefly described. An operation for the first user to update the sender information of the user, for example, the sender information identification information of the user, the identification information indicating the attribute of the sender information to be updated, and the update of the attribute value corresponding to this attribute When an operation to input later data is performed, the update instruction receiving unit 111 receives an update instruction having such information. Then, the update instruction transmission unit 112 transmits the update instruction received by the update instruction reception unit 111 in association with the sender information identification information associated with the sender information updated by the update instruction. For example, the update instruction and the sender information identification information are transmitted to the server device 13. In addition, the sender information update unit 113 updates the sender information stored in the sender information storage unit 110 in accordance with the update instruction received by the update instruction reception unit 111. For example, when the update instruction includes the sender information identification information, the sender information having the sender information identification information that matches the sender information identification information is updated.

  Furthermore, an output unit (not shown) of the first user terminal 11 is stored in the sender information storage unit 110 in response to an instruction received from the first user or the like by a reception unit (not shown) of the first user terminal 11. The sender information may be read out as appropriate and printed on a postal item such as a postcard or a delivery item.

  Next, an example of the operation of the second user terminal 12 of the destination management system 1 will be described using the flowchart of FIG.

  (Step S <b> 101) The request information transmission unit 124 determines whether or not the timing designated in advance for transmitting the request information has come. When it is time, the process proceeds to step S102, and when it is not time, the process proceeds to step S115.

  (Step S102) The request information transmission unit 124 acquires the destination information stored in the destination information storage unit 121, for example, sender information identification information included in all the destination information.

  (Step S <b> 103) The request information transmission unit 124 transmits the request information including the sender information identification information acquired in Step S <b> 102 to the server device 13.

  (Step S <b> 104) The update instruction receiving unit 122 determines whether an update instruction has been received from the server device 13. If received, the process proceeds to step S105. If not received, the process returns to step S104.

  (Step S105) The updating unit 123 substitutes 1 for the value of the counter m.

  (Step S106) The update unit 123 acquires the sender information identification information included in the m-th update instruction among the update instructions received in Step S104.

  (Step S <b> 107) The updating unit 123 detects destination information having sender information identification information that matches the sender information identification information acquired in step S <b> 106 from the destination information storage unit 121.

  (Step S108) The updating unit 123 updates the destination information detected in step S107 according to the mth update instruction. For example, the information indicating the update content of the update unit 123 includes the update location of the sender information indicated by the information indicating the update content included in the m-th update instruction of the detected destination information, for example, the update location corresponding to the attribute value. Update with update data. For example, the update unit 123 reads and updates the detected destination information in a storage medium such as a memory (not shown), and overwrites the pre-update destination information stored in the destination information storage unit 121 with the updated destination information.

  (Step S109) The update related information output unit 126 acquires update related information according to the update content. For example, the update related information output unit 126 acquires update content from the m-th update instruction, and acquires update related information associated with the same update content as the acquired update content.

  (Step S110) The update related information output unit 126 acquires information indicating the destination information detected in Step S107. For example, information such as a name is acquired from the detected destination information.

  (Step S111) The update related information output unit 126 associates the update related information acquired in Step S109 with the information indicating the destination information acquired in Step S110, and temporarily stores it in a storage medium (not shown).

  (Step S112) The updating unit 123 increments the value of the counter m by 1.

  (Step S113) The update unit 123 determines whether or not there is an mth update instruction in the update instruction received in step S104. If there is, the process returns to step S106, and if not, the process proceeds to step S114.

  (Step S114) The update related information output unit 126 outputs one or more sets of the update related information temporarily stored in step S111 and the information indicating the destination information. For example, it is displayed on a monitor (not shown). Then, the process returns to step S101.

  (Step S115) The receiving unit 127 determines whether an operation for outputting the destination information stored in the destination information storage unit 121 has been received. If accepted, the process proceeds to step S116. If not accepted, the process returns to step S101.

  (Step S116) The output unit 128 reads out the destination information from the destination information storage unit 121 and outputs it according to the operation received in step S115. Then, the process returns to step S101. The output here may be, for example, display or printing on a postcard or the like.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 2, the process is terminated by powering off or a process termination interrupt.

  Next, an example of the operation of the server device 13 of the destination management system 1 will be described using the flowchart of FIG.

  (Step S <b> 201) The server reception unit 131 determines whether an update instruction has been received from the first user terminal 11. If received, the process proceeds to step S202. If not received, the process proceeds to step S203.

  (Step S202) The update instruction storage unit 133 stores the update instruction received in step S201 in the update instruction storage unit 132. Then, the process returns to step S201.

  (Step S203) The request information receiving unit 134 determines whether the request information has been received. If received, the process proceeds to step S204. If not received, the process returns to step S201. The request information received here is, for example, request information having sender information identification information of destination information.

  (Step S204) The server transmission unit 135 increments the value of the counter n by 1.

  (Step S205) The server transmission unit 135 determines whether or not the update instruction storage unit 132 has an update instruction corresponding to the nth sender information identification information among the sender information identification information included in the request information. Specifically, it is determined by a search or the like whether there is an update instruction having sender information identification information that matches the nth sender information identification information. If there is, the process proceeds to step S206, and if not, the process proceeds to step S207.

If there is, the process returns to step S205, and if not, the process proceeds to step S209.

  (Step S209) The server transmission unit 135 transmits the update instruction accumulated in step S206 to the second user terminal 12 that is the transmission source of the request information. Then, the process returns to step S201.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 3, the process ends when the power is turned off or the process is terminated.

  Hereinafter, a specific operation of the destination management system 1 in the present embodiment will be described.

  First, it is assumed that the user A who is the first user changes his / her sender information stored in the sender information storage unit 110 of the first user terminal 11 because the address has changed due to the move. Then, in order to update the sender information of the user himself / herself, the sender information to be updated is designated via an interface screen displayed on a monitor (not shown) of the first user terminal 11, and the attribute name of the attribute to be updated is specified. Assuming that an operation of inputting a certain “address” and updated data “Hachioji City, Tokyo” for this “address” is performed, the update instruction receiving unit 111 receives an update instruction having such information. Specifically, it has "12345A" which is sender information identification information associated with the sender information to be updated, information "address" indicating the update location, and update data "Hachioji City, Tokyo ..." Accept update instructions. This update instruction is, for example, an instruction to overwrite the attribute value of the attribute “address” of the sender information corresponding to the sender information identification information “12345A” with the update data “Hachioji City, ...”. And In addition, the update instruction transmission unit 112 transmits the update instruction received by the update instruction reception unit 111 to the server device 13 via a network such as the Internet.

  Further, the sender information updating unit 113, according to the update instruction received by the update instruction receiving unit 111 as described above, “address” of the sender information corresponding to the sender information identification information “12345A” stored in the sender information storage unit 110. The sender information is updated by overwriting the attribute value of the attribute with “Hachioji City, Tokyo,” which is update data.

  The server reception unit 131 of the server device 13 receives the above-described update instruction transmitted from the first user terminal 11. The update instruction accumulation unit 133 accumulates the update instruction received by the server reception unit 131 in the update instruction storage unit 132.

  FIG. 4 shows update instruction management information for managing update instructions stored in the update instruction storage unit 132. The update instruction management information has attributes of “sender ID”, “update location”, and “data”. “Sender ID” is sender information identification information. “Update location” is information indicating an update location, and here, it is assumed that it is an attribute name of the sender information. “Data” is data for update. Here, it is assumed that one record (row) is one update instruction.

  In FIG. 4, for example, the top record is the update instruction stored by the update instruction storage unit 133 in the above.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing destination management information for managing destination information stored in the destination information storage unit 121. The destination management information has attributes such as “ID”, “sender ID”, “name”, “address”, “affiliation”, and “position”. “ID” is identification information for managing records of destination information. “Sender ID” is sender information identification information and corresponds to “Sender ID” in FIG. “Name” is the user's name, “Address” is the user's address, and “Affiliation” is the user's affiliation, for example, the name of the company where the user works. “Title” is the title of the user. In FIG. 5, it is assumed that one record (row) is one piece of destination information. Here, in order to simplify the explanation, it is assumed that the same attribute name of each attribute that constitutes the sender information is used as the attribute name that constitutes the destination management information.

  Next, it is assumed that the second user activates the second user terminal 12. For example, if the activation time of the second user terminal 12 is designated in advance as the timing for transmitting the request information, the request information transmission unit 124 transmits the request information when the second user terminal 12 is activated. It is determined that the timing designated in advance is reached.

  The request information transmission unit 124 acquires the sender information identification information included in the destination information stored in the destination information storage unit 121 because the timing for transmitting the request information has come. Specifically, the “sender ID” value is acquired from each record of the destination management information shown in FIG. The request information transmission unit 124 acquires in advance a list of sender information identification information and the like possessed by each destination information stored in the destination information storage unit when the destination information is accumulated in the destination information storage unit 121. It may be stored in a storage unit (not shown), and this list or the like may be read out. Here, “11098S”, “12345A”, “69846A”, “12777A”, and the like are acquired from the destination management information in FIG. 5 as the sender information identification information. Then, the request information transmission unit 124 transmits the request information having the acquired sender information identification information to the server device 13. Here, the request information is a command for instructing transmission of update information and information for specifying the second user terminal 12 that is the transmission source, for example, request information that further includes the capital, such as the IP address of the second user terminal 12. To do.

  The request information receiving unit 134 of the server device 13 receives request information from the second user terminal 12.

  The server transmission unit 135 acquires the first sender information identification information included in the request information received by the request information reception unit 134, and the sender information that matches the first sender information identification information in the update instruction storage unit 132. It is determined whether there is an update instruction having identification information. For example, if the first sender information identification information is “11098S”, a search is made for a record in which the value of “sender ID” matches “11098S” in the update instruction management information shown in FIG. Here, since no matching record was detected, there is no corresponding update instruction for the first sender information identification information.

  Next, similarly, the server transmission unit 135 obtains the second sender information identification information included in the request information received by the request information reception unit 134 and stores the first sender information identification information in the update instruction storage unit 132. It is determined whether there is an update instruction having sender information identification information that matches the information. For example, if the second sender information identification information is “12345A”, the first record from the update instruction management information shown in FIG. 4 is detected as a record whose “sender ID” value matches. The For this reason, the information contained in this record is acquired as an update instruction and temporarily stored in a storage medium such as a memory. That is, an update instruction is acquired in which the sender information identification information is “12345A”, the information indicating the update location is “address”, and the update data is “Hachioji City, Tokyo”.

  A similar process is performed for other sender information identification information included in the request information.

  It is assumed that the update instruction acquired as a result of this processing is only the update instruction whose sender information identification information acquired above is “12345A”.

  The server transmission unit 135 transmits the update instruction acquired in this way to the second user terminal 12 that is the transmission source of the request information.

  The update instruction receiving unit 122 of the second user terminal 12 receives the above-described update instruction transmitted from the server device 13.

  The updating unit 123 acquires the sender information identification information included in the first update instruction among the update instructions received by the update instruction receiving unit 122.
