1 to 3, 100 is a mail sender terminal, 200 is a mail server, 300 is a keyword DB, 400 is a transmission destination determination DB, 500 is a mail receiver terminal within the intra, and 600 is a mail receiver terminal outside the intra. , 700 is a communication network, and 800 is an in-house Web server.

The mail sender terminal 100 is a terminal that is operated by a user who transmits mail, and the content of the mail transmitted by the user who transmits mail is input, and the input mail is transmitted to the mail server 200.

The mail server 200 that has received the mail from the mail transmission terminal 100 checks whether the keyword in the mail body exists in the keyword DB.

When the keyword in the mail text exists in the keyword DB, the position of the keyword in the text and the URL of the in-house Web server 800 as the explanation location of the keyword stored in the keyword DB are stored.

Next, the mail server 200 uses the transmission destination determination DB 400 to determine whether the mail transmission destination can browse the in-house Web server 800. As a result of the determination, the link destination of the keyword in the mail body is changed.

When the mail transmission destination can browse the in-house Web server 800, the mail server 200 uses the URL of the in-house Web server 800, which is the keyword explanation location stored in the keyword DB, as the link destination, Give the position a link function.

On the other hand, if the mail transmission destination cannot browse the in-house Web server 800, the contents of the URL of the in-house Web server 800, which is the keyword explanation location stored in the keyword DB, are extracted and converted into a file, and the file is converted into an email Attach.

Then, using the attached file as a link destination, a link function is provided at the keyword position in the mail text.

When a plurality of transmission destinations are designated, the keyword link destination in the mail text may be changed for each transmission destination. In that case, the mail header is the original mail header, and the link destination of the mail body is changed for each envelope. Details will be described later.

The mail server 200 transfers the mail designated by the link destination by MTA (Mail Transfer Agent) or stores it in an area (mailbox) reserved for the recipient by MDA (Mail Delivery Agent). .

The mail receiver terminal (internal) 500 receives a mail from the mail server 200 by an operation of a user who receives the mail, and when a link function is selected by an operation of the user who receives the mail, the link destination of the in-house Web server Is displayed.

On the other hand, the mail recipient terminal (external) 600 receives mail from another mail server via the mail server 200 by the operation of the user who receives the mail. When the link function in the mail text is selected by the operation of the user who receives the mail, the mail recipient terminal (external) opens the file attached to the mail that is the link destination of the link function, and the contents of the file are Let them browse.

By these processes, there is an effect that the capacity of mail to be transmitted and stored can be reduced as much as possible and any user can view both the mail text and the link destination in the mail text.

Hereinafter, the hardware configuration of the information processing apparatus applicable to the in-house Web server client apparatus 800 from the mail sender terminal 100 illustrated in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

Furthermore, definition files and various information tables used when executing the program are also stored in the external memory 211, and a detailed description thereof will be described later.

Next, the basic operation of the information processing system of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a processing flow of the information processing system in the embodiment of the present invention, and is a flowchart showing processing of the mail sender terminal 100 and mainly the mail server 200. The processing of each step in FIG. 3 is realized by the CPU 201 of the mail sender terminal 100 and the mail server 200 executing an execution program stored in the external memory 211 on the RAM 203.

The flowchart of FIG. 3 is started when the user accepts an input of mail to be transmitted at the mail sender terminal 100.

First, in step S301, the CPU 201 of the mail sender terminal 100 accepts an input of text mail from the mail transmitting user.

When receiving the input of the text mail, the CPU 201 of the mail sender terminal 100 receives a mail transmission command from the mail transmission user and transmits the mail to the mail server 200 in step S302.

Next, the process proceeds to the process of the mail server 200, and the CPU 201 of the mail server 200 receives the mail transmitted from the mail sender terminal 100 in step S303. An example of the received mail will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a mail text transmitted by the mail sender terminal 100 in the embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 5, a sender 501 as a transmission source and a destination 502 as a transmission destination are input, and a mail text is input in 503. Returning to the flowchart of FIG.

Next, in step S304 of FIG. 3, the CPU 201 of the mail server 200 divides the text in the received mail body into words by morphological analysis or the like, and checks whether there is the same wording in the keyword DB 300. If there is the same wording in the keyword DB 300, URL information, file information, DB information, etc. associated with the keyword DB are acquired. A matching example between the keyword DB and the mail text will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5 as an example of the keyword DB.

FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a transmission destination determination DB and a keyword DB included in the information processing system according to the embodiment of the present invention.

410 of FIG. 4 is an example of the keyword DB, and the detailed contents of the keyword 412 are stored in the keyword “ΔΔΔΔΔ” as in 411. Similarly, detailed contents of a keyword such as 414 are stored in a keyword 413 “□□□□□”. The keyword detailed content column may be URL information in which the details of the keyword are described, or file information. In the present embodiment, description will be made on the assumption that information in the DB is held.

In the mail text of FIG. 5, the keywords (keyword ID fields) registered in the keyword DB are 411 and 413, which correspond to 504 and 505 in FIG. 5, respectively. The CPU 201 of the mail server 200 stores the text positions of 504 and 505 in FIG. Returning to the flowchart of FIG.

Next, in step S305 in FIG. 3, the CPU 201 of the mail server 200 acquires the transmission destination from the header of the received mail, and collates the transmission destination information with the transmission destination determination DB. This transmission destination determination DB determines whether or not the URL associated with the transmission destination address associated with the keyword DB can be viewed. In this flowchart, the determination criterion is whether the destination of the mail is internal or external. That is, when the transmission destination is in-house, the URL associated with the keyword DB can be browsed, and when the transmission destination is outside the company, the URL associated with the keyword DB cannot be browsed. With reference to FIG. 4, an example of data for determining whether the mail transmission destination is in-house or outside is described.

4 is a transmission destination determination DB. For example, if the domain is “@ x-solutions.co.jp”, it is determined to be in-house, and if it is any other domain, it is determined to be outside. . Returning to the flowchart of FIG.

Next, in step S306 in FIG. 3, the CPU 201 of the mail server 200 branches the following processing depending on whether the transmission destination is in-house or outside in step S305. In step S306, if the mail transmission destination is in-house, the process proceeds to step S307. If the mail transmission destination is outside the company, the process proceeds to step S309.

When the process proceeds to step S307, the CPU 201 of the mail server 200 rewrites the keyword DB information collated in step S304 with information for posting on the in-house Web server 800, for example, and posts it on the Web server. An example of information posted on the Web server 800 will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 6 shows an example of the mail text received by the mail recipient terminal (internal) 500 in the embodiment of the present invention, the link destination URL of the link function in the mail text, and information posted on the Web server 800. It is the shown schematic diagram.

620 in FIG. 6 is a screen image that is stored in the Web server 800 and displayed when accessed by a Web browser. The CPU 201 of the mail server 200 or the in-house Web server 800 converts the detailed contents stored in the keyword DB on the screen 620 into HTML so that it can be displayed. The CPU 201 of the mail server 200 stores the HTML URL 610 created by the in-house Web server 800 in the RAM 203. If the keyword DB information collated in step S304 is URL information (as in the case of 417 in FIG. 4), the process in step S307 is a process of storing the URL information in the RAM 203. Returning to the flowchart of FIG.

Next, in step S308, the CPU 201 of the mail server 200 gives a link function to the URL information stored in the RAM 203 in step S307 and the text position (504 and 505 in the case of FIG. 5) stored in the RAM 203 in step S304. (HTML conversion), the URL information stored in the RAM 203 in step S307 (610 in the case of FIG. 6) is linked to the link function. The link function will be described with reference to FIG.

6 in FIG. 6 is an example of the mail text displayed on the in-house mail recipient terminal 500, and the contents of the mail received in the situation where the mail in FIG. 5 is transmitted and the keyword DB in FIG. 4 is displayed. It is an example.

URL information stored in the RAM 203 in step S307 for the keyword 601 of “ΔΔΔΔΔ” and the keyword 602 of “□□□□□” registered in the keyword DB in the 600 mail text is used as the link destination. Set. With this setting, for example, the mail recipient user operates the mouse on (clicks on) the keyword 601 on the mail recipient terminal and displays a screen such as 620 to display detailed contents such as a keyword whose meaning is unknown. I can grasp it. Returning to the flowchart of FIG.

Next, the process proceeds to step S312 in FIG. 3, and the CPU 201 of the mail server 200 transmits the HTML mail to the MTA or MDA and finishes the series of processes.

On the other hand, in step S306, if the transmission destination is outside the company in step S305, that is, if the domain cannot browse the in-house Web server, the process proceeds to step S309.

When the process proceeds to step S309, the CPU 201 of the mail server 200 extracts the keyword DB information collated in step S304. If the keyword DB data is URL information, the URL information destination information is acquired. The extracted information or acquired information is stored in the external memory 211 in a file format. If the keyword DB information is character information, it is saved as a text file (.txt), and if it is URL information destination information, it is saved as an HTML file or an image file as a jpg file or a gif file. The attached file name after saving as a text file or an image file will be described with reference to FIG.

The text of the detailed keyword content 411 in FIG. 4 is stored as a file name 415 “ΔΔΔΔΔ.txt”. Similarly, the wording of the keyword detail contents 413 is saved as a file name 416 “□□□□□ .txt”.

Since the detailed keyword content corresponding to the keyword 414 is URL information (image file), this URL information destination file is read, and the same file name “xxxxxxx.jpg” is the file name 418. Save in the external memory 211. The above process is performed in step S309.

An example of the file created in step S309 will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a mail text received by the mail recipient terminal (external) 600, a link destination URL of the link function in the mail text, and an attached file attached in the embodiment of the present invention. is there.

In FIG. 7, reference numeral 720 denotes a screen image displaying the file created in step S309. The file 720 is obtained by converting the contents extracted as the keyword details of “ΔΔΔΔΔ” in the keyword DB 410 of FIG. 4 into a file.

If the keyword DB information collated in step S304 is URL information (as in 417 in FIG. 4), the process in step S309 reads the URL information and saves it in an HTML file or image file format. It becomes processing to do. Returning to the flowchart of FIG.

Next, in step S310 of FIG. 3, the CPU 201 of the mail server 200 performs processing for attaching the file saved in step S309 to the mail received in step S303.

Next, in step S311, the CPU 201 of the mail server 200 converts the mail received in step S303 into HTML, and performs a process using the URL of the file attached in step S310 as the link destination. Specifically, the text position (504 or 505 in the case of FIG. 5) stored in the RAM 203 in step S304 is provided with a link function (HTML conversion), and the URL of the attached file created in step S310 is added to the link function portion. Information (710 in the case of FIG. 7) is linked. The link function will be described with reference to FIG.

700 in FIG. 7 is an example of the mail text displayed on the in-house mail recipient terminal 600, and the contents of the mail received in the situation where the mail of FIG. 5 is transmitted and the keyword DB of FIG. 4 is displayed are displayed. It is an example.

The URL information “.//” of the file 710 attached in step S310 for the keyword 701 of “ΔΔΔΔΔ” and the keyword 702 of “□□□□□” registered in the keyword DB in the 700 mail text. “Attachment / ΔΔΔΔΔ.txt” and “./attachment/□□□□□.txt” are set as link destinations. With this setting, for example, when an external mail recipient user wants to check a keyword that does not make sense, even if the internal Web server cannot be browsed, the detailed content of the keyword is attached as an attached file. If the mouse is operated (clicked) on the keyword 701, it is possible to grasp detailed contents such as a keyword whose meaning is unknown. Returning to the flowchart of FIG.

Next, the process proceeds to step S312 in FIG. 3, and the CPU 201 of the mail server 200 transmits the HTML mail to the MTA or MDA and finishes the series of processes.

Through the above process, link destinations and attachments in emails are changed between destinations that can view link destinations such as internal email recipients and destinations that cannot view link destinations such as external email recipients. As a result, all of the destinations can browse the link destination, and the mail recipient's inbox can be prevented from being compressed. <Second Embodiment>

In the first embodiment, if there is at least one outside mail address in the mail transmission destination domain, the link destination information of the URL information is attached as an attached file, but for each mail envelope (destination). You may change whether it makes it an attachment file format or a link to an in-house Web server.

In the second embodiment, this is realized by dividing the link destination of the mail text for each RCPT TO: (transmission destination) of the envelope by the process of step S306. At that time, by sending the mail header without changing, there is an effect that the user who sent the mail can grasp who is the destination of the mail.

As described above, according to the present invention, a destination within a mail can be browsed by a destination that can browse a link destination such as an in-house mail recipient, and a destination that cannot browse a link destination such as an outside mail recipient. By changing the link destination and the attached file, all of the destinations can browse the link destination, and the mail recipient's inbox is not compressed.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, the present invention can take an embodiment as, for example, a system, an apparatus, a method, a program, or a storage medium. You may apply to the system comprised from an apparatus, and may apply to the apparatus which consists of one apparatus.

Another object of the present invention is to supply a storage medium storing software program codes for realizing the functions of the above-described embodiments to a system or apparatus, and the computer (or CPU or MPU) of the system or apparatus stores the storage medium. Needless to say, this can also be achieved by reading and executing the program code stored in.

In this case, the program code itself read from the storage medium realizes the functions of the above-described embodiments, and the program code itself and the storage medium storing the program code constitute the present invention.

As a storage medium for supplying the program code, for example, a flexible disk, a hard disk, an optical disk, a magneto-optical disk, a CD-ROM, a CD-R, a magnetic tape, a nonvolatile memory card, a ROM, or the like can be used.

Further, by executing the program code read by the computer, not only the functions of the above-described embodiments are realized, but also an OS (basic system or operating system) running on the computer based on the instruction of the program code. Needless to say, a case where the function of the above-described embodiment is realized by performing part or all of the actual processing and the processing is included.
