Description

The present invention relates to a profile management program.

Traditionally, profile exchange has been done, for example, by exchanging paper business cards between face-to-face people. In recent years, profiles have been exchanged electronically instead of on paper. Such electronic profile exchange includes a method of exchanging profiles with people in remote areas by means such as e-mail, and a method of exchanging profiles between people who have faced each other in the same way as conventional business card exchange. There is a method of exchanging profiles directly.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2013-206079

In the case of direct person-to-person profile exchange similar to conventional business card exchange, it is expected that the more people exchange, the more time and effort it will take to exchange. In particular, since the exchange of profiles is often performed with people who meet for the first time, it is not preferable that the exchange takes time and effort.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a profile management program that enables easy profile exchange within a face-to-face group.

The profile management program of the first aspect creates a virtual shared space for profile exchange by being operated by a first user who is a user of the first terminal, and at least one first to the virtual shared space. Determining whether or not to accept the application for participation of the two terminals, and for each of the second terminals for which participation was accepted, the profile data of the first user and the third for which participation was accepted in advance. Sending the profile data of the third user who is the user of the terminal, receiving the profile data of the second user who is the user of the second terminal, and sending the second profile data to the third terminal. And let the computer do it.

The profile management program of the second aspect receives an operation by a first user who is a user of the first terminal to create a virtual shared space for profile exchange, and at least one first to the virtual shared space. It is determined whether or not to accept the application for participation of the second terminal, the profile data of the first user is transmitted to each of the second terminals for which the participation is accepted, and the profile data of the second terminal is transmitted. Have the computer perform the process of receiving the profile data of the second user, who is the user.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a profile management program that enables easy profile exchange within a face-to-face group.

Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of an example of a profile exchange system according to an embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the profile exchange system 1 has a terminal 2 and a terminal 3. Terminal 2 and terminal 3 communicate with each other. The terminal 2 is a terminal owned by the user U1. The terminal 3 is a terminal owned by the user U2. Here, although not shown in FIG. 1, the terminal 2 can also communicate with a terminal near the terminal 2 other than the terminal 3.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a hardware configuration of an example of the terminal 2. In the embodiment, only the configuration of the terminal 2 will be described assuming that the terminal 2 and the terminal 3 have the same configuration. The terminal 3 may further have a configuration that is not provided in the terminal 2.

The terminal 2 has a processor 21, a memory 22, a storage 23, an input interface 24, a display 25, and a communication module 26. The processor 21, the memory 22, the storage 23, the input interface 24, the display 25, and the communication module 26 are connected to the bus 27 so as to be able to communicate with each other. Here, the terminal 2 may be a terminal such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal.

The processor 21 is a processor configured to control the operation of the terminal 2. The processor 21 executes various processes according to various programs stored in the storage 23. The processor 21 is, for example, a CPU. The processor 21 may be an MPU, GPU, or the like instead of a CPU. Further, the processor 21 does not have to be configured by one CPU or the like, and may be configured by a plurality of CPUs or the like.

The memory 22 includes memories such as ROM and RAM. ROM is a non-volatile memory. The ROM stores a boot program of the terminal 2 and the like. RAM is a volatile memory. The RAM is used, for example, as a working memory for processing in the processor 21.

The storage 23 is a storage such as a flash memory. The storage 23 stores various programs and data used in the terminal 2. In the embodiment, the storage 23 stores an OS (operating system) 231, a profile management program 232, and profile data 233. The storage 23 may store programs and data other than the OS 231, the profile management program 232, and the profile data 233.

OS231 is a program for realizing the basic functions of the terminal 2. Various programs stored in the storage 23 are executed under the control of the OS.

The profile management program 232 is an application program for managing the exchange of profiles with other terminals. Here, the profile management program 232 can be installed in the terminal 2 as needed. For example, the profile management program 232 exchanges profiles with other terminals. At this time, when there are a plurality of terminals near the terminal 2, the profile management program 232 also exchanges profiles with those terminals as needed. Further, the profile management program 232 creates its own profile data of the user U1.

The profile data 233 is data that records the profile of the user U1. The profile data includes, for example, personal information data of user U1 and data for preview. The preview data includes a part of the personal information of the user U1, for example, data such as a name, a company name, and a title, and when the personal information data includes a face image or an avatar image of the user U1, the image thereof. It may include the data of the thumbnail of. Profile data 233 may be recorded, for example, in vCard format. Further, the profile data 233 may be managed, for example, on the server of the company to which the user U1 belongs. In this case, the profile data 233 does not have to be stored in the storage 23.

The input interface 24 includes an input device such as a touch panel. The input interface 24 may include an input device such as a camera and a microphone. When the input interface 24 is operated, a signal corresponding to the operation content is input to the processor 21 via the bus 27. The processor 21 performs various processes according to this signal.

The display 25 is a display device such as a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display. The display 25 displays various images.

It is a module including an interface configured to process when the terminal 2 communicates with an external device. The communication module 26 is configured to communicate with a terminal or the like near the terminal 2 by using short-range wireless communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) Low Energy (BLE). The communication module 26 may be configured to connect to a network using, for example, a wireless line. The communication module 26 may be configured to connect to a network using a wired line.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the processing of the profile management program 232 (profile management application). It is assumed that the process described below is the process of the terminal 2. However, the processing of the terminal 3 may be performed in the same manner. When starting the profile management program 232, it may be required to enter an ID and a password.

In step S1 after the profile management program 232 is started, the processor 21 determines whether or not the profile management program 232 is started for the first time. When it is determined in step S1 that the profile management program 232 is started for the first time, the process proceeds to step S2. When it is not determined in step S1 that the profile management program 232 is started for the first time, the process proceeds to step S3.

In step S2, the processor 21 executes the profile creation process. After the profile creation process, the process proceeds to step S3. The profile creation process is a process of creating own profile data of the user U1 of the terminal 2. For example, in the profile creation process, the processor 21 calls an input form for inputting information necessary for profile creation. Then, the processor 21 displays the input form on the display 25. User U1 inputs necessary information in the input form. Then, the user U1 confirms that the information desired by the user has been input, and then confirms the input to the input form. As a result, profile data 233 is created. The created profile data 233 is stored in the storage 23. As described above, the profile data may be stored in the server of the company to which the user U1 belongs.

In step S3, the processor 21 causes the display 25 to display the top screen. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the top screen of the profile management program 232 (profile management application).

On the top screen of FIG. 4, for example, a user avatar image 301, a search window 302, a list of recently exchanged partners 303, and a profile exchange button 304 are displayed. The user avatar image 301, the search window 302, the preview 303 of the partner who recently exchanged the profile, and the profile exchange button 304 can be selected by the touch panel or the like. The user avatar image 301 is an avatar image of the user U1 and is also a button for transitioning to the option screen of the profile exchange application. When the user avatar image is selected by the user U1, the processor 21 calls the option screen and displays it on the display 25. The search window 302 is a search window used for searching profile data stored in the storage 23. The list 303 of the recently exchanged partners is a list showing the information of the top plurality of persons with whom the profiles have been exchanged recently. The list 303 of the person with whom the profile has been exchanged recently may include, for example, the name, company name, job title, etc. of the person with whom the profile has been exchanged. Further, when the profile data includes a user's face image, the list may include a thumbnail of the face image. The profile exchange button 304 is a button selected when performing a profile exchange. Of course, other displays may be displayed on the top screen.

In step S4, the processor 21 determines whether or not to carry out profile exchange. When the profile exchange button 304 is selected on the top screen, it is determined that the profile exchange is to be performed. When it is determined in step S4 that the profile exchange is to be performed, the process proceeds to step S5. When it is not determined in step S4 that the profile exchange is to be performed, the process proceeds to step S6.

In step S5, the processor 21 executes the profile exchange process. After the profile exchange process, the process proceeds to step S10. The profile exchange process is a process of exchanging profiles by direct communication with a terminal of a nearby person. The profile exchange process will be described later.

In step S6, the processor 21 determines whether or not to perform profile display. It is determined that the profile display is performed when the profile data searched through the search window 302 is selected on the top screen or when any preview of the preview 303 of the partner who has recently exchanged the profile is selected. When it is determined in step S6 that the profile display is to be performed, the process proceeds to step S7. When it is not determined in step S6 that the profile display is to be performed, the process proceeds to step S10.

In step S7, the processor 21 executes the display processing of the selected profile. After the display process, the process proceeds to step S10. For example, the processor 21 acquires the selected profile data 233 from the storage 23. Then, the processor 21 causes the display 25 to display the profile based on the acquired profile data 233.

In step S8, the processor 21 determines whether or not to carry out the seminar exchange. The seminar exchange is carried out, for example, on the option screen. When it is detected that the user has selected the participation button of the seminar board on the option screen, or when it is detected that the user has selected the seminar board creation button, it is determined that the seminar exchange is to be performed. When it is determined in step S8 that the seminar exchange is to be carried out, the process proceeds to step S9. If it is not determined in step S8 that the seminar exchange is to be performed, the process proceeds to step S10.

In step S9, the processor 21 carries out the seminar exchange process. After the seminar exchange process, the process proceeds to step S10. The seminar exchange process is a process for exchanging seminars. The seminar exchange process will be explained in detail later.

In step S10, the processor 21 determines whether or not to terminate the profile management program 232 (application). For example, when the user U1 performs an operation for terminating the profile management program 232, it is determined that the profile management program 232 is terminated. If it is not determined in step S10 to end the profile management program 232, the process returns to step S3. When it is determined in step S10 that the profile management program 232 is terminated, the process of FIG. 3 is terminated.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the profile exchange process. In embodiments, the profile exchange process includes an individual exchange performed between two terminals and a multi-person exchange performed primarily between three or more terminals. In the multi-person exchange, one terminal serves as a host to exchange profiles including the terminals of other guests. At this time, the terminal of the host creates a virtual shared space for exchange, invites the terminals of other guests, and exchanges profiles on this virtual shared space. Hereinafter, this virtual shared space is referred to as an "exchange board". As will be explained later, the host terminal creates a virtual shared space for exchange even in the seminar exchange process. The virtual shared space created by the seminar board is called "seminar board".

In step S101, the processor 21 searches for a profile exchangeable terminal near the terminal 2. For example, if the communication module 26 is configured to be capable of BLE communication, the processor 21 is advertised by the communication module 26 and is near the terminal 2 running the profile exchange program 232 like the terminal 2. Search for terminals. Of course, the method for searching for a terminal with exchangeable profiles is not limited to the method using BLE.

In step S102, the processor 21 determines whether or not there is a terminal with which the profile can be exchanged. When it is determined in step S102 that there is no terminal with which the profile can be exchanged, the process proceeds to step S103. When it is determined in step S102 that a terminal having a profile exchangeable exists, the process proceeds to step S104.

In step S103, the processor 21 causes the display 25 to display an error message indicating that there is no terminal whose profile can be exchanged. After that, the process proceeds to step S110.

In step S104, the processor 21 displays a list of partners whose profiles can be exchanged. FIG. 6 shows an example of list display. In the list display, a list of exchangeable partners 305, a list of exchange boards that can participate 306, user information 307 of the terminal 2, and a button 308 that hosts the exchange board are displayed. The list of partners with whom the profile can be exchanged 305 is a list of partners with whom the terminal 2 can exchange profiles. The list of partners with whom profiles can be exchanged 305 may include a list of names, company names, job titles, etc. of partners with whom profiles can be exchanged, similar to the list of partners with whom profiles can be exchanged recently 303. In addition, in the list 305 of the partner with whom the profile can be exchanged, the information about the user of the terminal which does not allow the disclosure of the profile data may not be displayed. In this case, the profile data is not exchanged with this terminal. The list of exchange boards that can participate 306 is a list of exchange boards created by terminals near the terminal 2. The list of exchange boards that can be participated in 306 may include a list of the name of the exchange board, the name of the person who created the exchange board, the company name, the position, and the like. Further, the list 306 of the exchange boards that can participate includes the participation button 306a for each exchange board. The participation button 306a is a button selected when participating in the exchange board. The user information 307 is the information of the user of the terminal 2. The user information 307 may include the user's name, company name, job title, and the like. The button 308 for hosting the replacement board is a button selected when creating and hosting the replacement board. In the list display, a display other than that shown in FIG. 5 may be further displayed. Further, it is desirable that the terminal 2 is controlled so as not to enter the sleep mode after the list display is displayed. This is to prevent the connection with other terminals from being disconnected during profile exchange.

In step S105, the processor 21 determines whether or not to carry out the individual exchange. For example, when it is detected that the user U1 has selected one person from the list 305 of the partner with whom the profile can be exchanged, it is determined that the individual exchange is performed. When it is determined in step S105 that the individual exchange is to be performed, the process proceeds to step S106. When it is not determined in step S105 that the individual exchange is to be performed, the process proceeds to step S108.

In step S106, the processor 21 performs individual exchange with the other party selected by the user U1, that is, transmission / reception of profile data. After that, the process proceeds to step S107. For example, when the profile exchange with the terminal 3 of the user U2 is performed, the processor 21 of the terminal 2 requests the terminal 3 to exchange the profile. Similarly, the processor 21 of the terminal 3 also requests the terminal 2 to exchange the profile through the process of steps S101-S105 of FIG. When a request for profile exchange is received at each other's terminals, the processor 21 of the terminal 2 transmits the profile data of the user U1 to the terminal 3 and receives the profile data of the user U2 from the terminal 3. In this way, in the individual exchange, profile data is exchanged in the same manner as the paper business card exchange. Here, the individual exchange may be performed by another method such as exchange by reading a two-dimensional code.

In step S107, the processor 21 stores the received profile data in the storage 23. After that, the process proceeds to step S110.

In step S108, the processor 21 determines whether or not to carry out a plurality of exchanges. For example, when it is detected that the user U1 has selected any of the join buttons 306a, or when it is detected that the user has selected the button 308 that hosts the exchange board, it is determined that the exchange is performed by a plurality of people. The host. When it is determined in step S108 that the exchange of a plurality of persons is to be performed, the process proceeds to step S109. When it is not determined in step S108 that the exchange of a plurality of persons is to be performed, the process proceeds to step S110.

In step S109, the processor 21 performs a plurality of person exchange process. After the multi-person exchange process, the process proceeds to step S110. The multi-person exchange process is a process for multi-person exchange. The multi-person exchange process will be described in detail later.

In step S110, the processor 21 determines whether or not to end the profile exchange. For example, when the operation to end the profile exchange is performed while the list or the error message is displayed, it is determined that the profile exchange is completed. If it is not determined in step S110 that the exchange of profiles is finished, the process returns to step S101. When it is determined in step S110 that the exchange of profiles is completed, the process of FIG. 5 ends.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a plurality of person exchange process. The multi-person exchange process includes host processing and guest processing. In the multi-person exchange process, for example, mutual profile exchange by multiple people who meet face to face at a meeting place is assumed. In the multi-person exchange process, one of a plurality of people acts as a host and profiles are exchanged among all of them including themselves.

In step S201, the processor 21 determines whether or not to process the host. When it is detected that the user has selected the button 308 that hosts the exchange board, it is determined that the host is to be processed. When it is determined in step S201 that the host is to be processed, the process proceeds to step S202. In step S202, when it is not determined to process the host, that is, when it is determined to process the guest, the process proceeds to step S216.

In step S202, processor 21 creates a replacement board. The exchange board includes a board ID, a board name, a passcode, publication / termination information, and participant information. The board ID is an internal character string that uniquely identifies the exchange board that is automatically issued when the board is created. The board ID is preferably a Universally Unique Identifier (UUID). The board name is the name of the replacement board given when the board is created. For example, the board name may be "user name" + "board" or the like. Further, the board name may be appropriately changed by the operation of the user. The passcode is, for example, a 4-digit number set when the board is created. The passcode may be set automatically or may be set by the user U1. The passcode does not have to be set. Further, a password or the like may be used instead of the passcode. The publish / end information is information indicating whether the corresponding exchange board is in the open state or the closed state. When the button 308 hosting the exchange board is selected, the public / close information of the corresponding exchange board is switched to public. After that, when the exchange board is terminated by the user U1, the information on the publication / termination of the corresponding exchange board is switched to the termination. Participant information is information about guests who are participating in or excluded from the exchange board. The guest information may include a name, a company name, a job title, and the like, as in the preview data in the profile data described above.

In step S203, the processor 21 causes the host screen to be displayed on the display 25. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a host screen in a plurality of person exchange process. On the host screen, for example, the board name 309, the participating partner tab 310, the excluded partner tab 311, the participating partner / excluded partner list 312, and the exchange board end button 314 are displayed. Will be done. The board name 309 is the name of the created replacement board. The board name 309 may include the name, company name, job title, etc. of the person who created the exchange board. The participating partner tab 310 and the excluded partner tab 311 are tabs for switching the list display between the participating partner and the excluded partner. When the participating partner tab 310 is selected, the participating partner / excluded partner list 312 displays a list of participating partners on the exchange board. When the Excluded Opponents tab 311 is selected, the Participating / Excluded Opponents List 312 displays a list of Excluded Opponents from the Exchange Board. These lists may include a list of names, company names, job titles, etc. of participating or excluded parties. From the list of people participating in the exchange board, check 313 is added to the person who has already exchanged profile data. It is also possible to select a person to be excluded from the list of participating parties, or conversely, select a person to accept participation from the list of excluded parties. The replacement board end button 314 is a button selected when exiting the replacement board.

In step S204, the processor 21 determines whether or not a selection operation of a partner to be excluded from the list of participating partners has been performed. The operation of selecting the other party to be excluded is, for example, a swipe operation for the desired line of the other party displayed in the list. When it is determined in step S204 that the operation of selecting the other party to be excluded has been performed, the process proceeds to step S205. When it is not determined in step S204 that the operation of selecting the other party to be excluded has been performed, the process proceeds to step S206.

In step S205, the processor 21 is set to exclude the selected partner. After that, the process proceeds to step S206.

In step S206, the processor 21 determines whether or not the tab switching operation has been performed. When it is determined in step S206 that the tab switching operation has been performed, the process proceeds to step S207. If it is not determined in step S206 that the tab switching operation has been performed, the process proceeds to step S208.

In step S207, the processor 21 switches between the participating partner tab 310 and the excluded partner tab 311. After that, the process proceeds to step S208.

In step S208, the processor 21 determines whether or not the application for participation in the exchange board from another terminal, for example, the terminal 3 has been accepted. For example, when there is an application for participation in the exchange board from another terminal, the processor 21 prompts for input of a passcode as necessary. Then, when the correct passcode is input, the processor 21 determines that the application for participation in the exchange board has been accepted. On the other hand, if the correct passcode is not input, the processor 21 determines that the application for participation in the exchange board is not accepted. It is assumed that the passcode is notified to the guest user, for example, by being written on the whiteboard at the meeting between the host user and the guest user. When it is determined in step S208 that the application for participation in the exchange board from another terminal has been accepted, the process proceeds to step S209. When it is not determined in step S208 that the application to the exchange board from another terminal has been accepted, the process proceeds to step S213.

In step S209, the processor 21 transmits the participation acceptance to the terminal that has applied for participation.

In step S210, the processor 21 registers the information of the other party who has received the participation application in the participant information. At this time, it may be confirmed whether or not to exclude the guest who has applied for participation to the user U1.

In step S211 the processor 21 transmits the profile data of the user of the terminal 2 who is the host user of the exchange board and the profile data of each guest participating in the exchange board to the terminal which has applied for participation. , Receive profile data from the terminal that applied for participation. Further, the processor 21 transmits the profile data of the user who has applied for participation to the terminal of each guest participating in the exchange board. Here, the process of steps S208-S211 can be executed as a background process even if the user closes the host screen once the host screen is displayed.

In step S212, the processor 21 stores the received profile data in the storage 23. After that, the process proceeds to step S213.

In step S213, the processor 21 determines whether or not to leave the guest terminal. For example, if there is an application for exit from the guest terminal or communication with the guest terminal is disconnected, it is determined that the guest terminal is to be exited. When it is determined in step S213 to leave the guest terminal, the process proceeds to step S214. If it is not determined in step S213 to leave the guest terminal, the process proceeds to step S215.

In step S214, the processor 21 deletes the guest information to be evacuated from the participant information. At the same time, the processor 21 deletes the profile data of the guest to be evacuated from the storage 23. After that, the process proceeds to step S215.

In step S215, the processor 21 determines whether or not to terminate the replacement board. For example, when the end button 314 of the exchange board is selected, it is determined to end the exchange board. If it is not determined in step S215 to end the exchange board, the process returns to step S202. When it is determined in step S215 that the replacement board is to be terminated, the process of FIG. 7 is terminated.

In step S216 when it is determined that the processing of the guest is performed, the processor 21 transmits a participation request and displays a passcode request in response to a subsequent request from the host terminal. The process of step S216 may be omitted when the passcode is not set when the replacement board is created.

In step S217, the processor 21 transmits the input passcode to the guest terminal.

In step S218, the processor 21 determines whether or not the participation application has been accepted. In step S218, when the participation acceptance is transmitted from the host terminal, it is determined that the participation application has been accepted. If it is not determined in step S218 that the participation application has been accepted, the process returns to step S216. When the predetermined number of participation applications are not accepted due to an input error of the passcode or the like, the process of FIG. 7 may be terminated. When it is determined in step S218 that the participation application has been accepted, the process proceeds to step S219.

In step S219, the processor 21 causes the guest screen to be displayed on the display 25. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a guest screen in a plurality of person exchange process. On the guest screen, for example, a guest user name 315, a participating board name 316, a list of participating opponents 317, and an exit button 319 from the board are displayed. The user name is a display of the user's name, company name, job title, etc. of the guest terminal. The participating board name is the name of the currently participating exchange board. The board name 316 may include the name, company name, job title, etc. of the person who created the exchange board. The list of participating parties 317 displays a list of parties participating in the exchange board. The list of participating parties 317 may include a list of participating parties' names, company names, job titles, and the like. From the list of people participating in the exchange board, check 318 is attached to the person who has already exchanged profile data. The exit button 319 from the exchange board is a button selected when exiting from the exchange board.

In step S220, the processor 21 receives profile data from the host terminal. Further, the processor 21 transmits the profile data of the user of the own terminal to the terminal of the host. When excluded from the exchange board, only a notification to that effect is received, and profile data need not be sent or received.

In step S221, the processor 21 stores the received profile data in the storage 23. After that, the process proceeds to step S222.

In step S222, the processor 21 determines whether or not to leave the replacement board. For example, when the exit button 319 from the exchange board is selected, it is determined to exit the exchange board. If it is not determined in step S222 to leave the exchange board, the process returns to step S219. When it is determined in step S222 to leave the exchange board, the processor 21 sends an exit request to the terminal of the host. After that, the process of FIG. 7 ends.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the seminar exchange process. As described above, the seminar exchange process is performed as a separate process from the profile exchange process. The seminar exchange process includes host processing and guest processing. In the seminar exchange process, profile exchange between the speaker and a large number of attendees is assumed, for example, at a lecture or the like. In the seminar exchange process, a profile exchange is carried out with the attendees who are guests, hosted by the speaker.

In step S301, the processor 21 determines whether or not to create a new seminar board. For example, when it is detected that the user has selected the new seminar board button on the option screen, it is determined that the seminar board is newly created. When it is determined in step S301 that the seminar board is newly created, the process proceeds to step S302. If it is not determined in step S301 that the seminar board is newly created, the process proceeds to step S304.

In step S302, the processor 21 causes the display 25 to display the new creation screen of the seminar board. FIG. 11 shows an example of a new screen for creating a seminar board. On the new seminar board creation screen, for example, a user's avatar image 320, a board name input window 321, a passcode input window 322, an end time input window 323, and a board start button 324 are displayed. The avatar image 320 is an avatar image of the user of the terminal 2. In addition to this, the user's name, company name, job title, etc. may also be displayed. The board name input window 321 is a window for inputting a board name. Entering the board name may be omitted. In this case, the board name may be set based on the same rules as, for example, a replacement board. The passcode input window 322 is a window for inputting a passcode. Entering the passcode may be omitted. The end time input window 323 is a window for inputting the end time of the seminar board. Entering the end time may be omitted. In this case, the seminar board does not end at the specified time. It may be configured so that the start time is input in addition to the end time. The board start button 324 is a button selected when starting the seminar board.

In step S303, the processor 21 registers the seminar board in response to the input from the user. After that, the process of FIG. 10 ends. The seminar board contains a board ID, a board name, a passcode, and publication / termination information. The board ID is an internal character string that uniquely identifies the exchange board that is automatically issued when the board is created. The board ID is preferably a Universally Unique Identifier (UUID). The board name is the name of the seminar board given when the board is created. The passcode is, for example, a 4-digit number set when the board is created. The passcode may be set automatically or may be set by the user U1. The passcode does not have to be set. The publication / termination information is information indicating whether the corresponding seminar board is in the publishing state or the closing state.

In step S304, the processor 21 determines whether or not to start the seminar board. When the board start button 324 is selected, it is determined to start the seminar board. In addition, if a start time is specified, it is determined that the seminar board will be started when the start time is reached. When it is determined in step S304 to start the seminar board, the process proceeds to step S305. If it is not determined in step S304 to start the seminar board, the process proceeds to step S310.

In step S305, the processor 21 starts accepting participation in the seminar board. At this time, the host screen similar to the exchange board does not have to be displayed. Of course, a similar host screen may be displayed.

In step S306, the processor 21 determines whether or not the application for participation in the exchange board from another terminal has been accepted. For example, when there is an application for participation in the exchange board from another terminal, the processor 21 prompts for input of a passcode as necessary. Then, when the correct passcode is input, the processor 21 determines that the application for participation in the exchange board has been accepted. On the other hand, if the correct passcode is not input, the processor 21 determines that the application for participation in the exchange board is not accepted. It is assumed that the passcode is notified to the guest user, for example, by being written on a whiteboard at a lecture hall or the like. When it is determined in step S306 that the application for participation in the exchange board from another terminal has been accepted, the process proceeds to step S307. When it is not determined in step S306 that the application to the exchange board from another terminal has been accepted, the process proceeds to step S309.

In step S307, the processor 21 transmits the profile data of the user of the terminal 2 who is the host user of the exchange board to the terminal that has applied for participation, and receives the profile data from the terminal that has applied for participation. In the seminar exchange process, profile data is exchanged only between the host terminal and the guest terminal that has applied for participation.

In step S308, the processor 21 stores the received profile data in the storage 23. After that, the process proceeds to step S309.

In step S309, the processor 21 determines whether or not to end the seminar board. For example, it is determined that the seminar board will be finished at the designated time. In addition, it may be determined that the seminar board is terminated when the user performs an operation to terminate the seminar board. If it is not determined in step S309 to end the seminar board, the process returns to step S306. When it is determined in step S309 to end the seminar board, the process of FIG. 10 ends.

In step S310, the processor 21 determines whether or not to participate in the seminar board. For example, when it is detected that the user has selected the participation button of the seminar board on the confirmation screen of the seminar board displayed in the option screen, it is determined that the seminar board is newly created. FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of a confirmation screen of the seminar board. On the confirmation screen, a list of seminar boards 325 and a button to participate in the seminar board 326 are displayed. List of seminar boards 325 is a list of seminar boards created by terminals near terminal 2. The list 325 of the seminar board may include a list of the name of the seminar board, the name of the person who created the seminar board, the company name, the position, and the like. The participation button 326 for the seminar board is provided for each seminar board. The participation button 326 is a button selected when participating in the seminar board. When it is determined in step S310 to participate in the seminar board, the process proceeds to step S311. If it is not determined in step S310 to participate in the seminar board, the process proceeds to step S315.

In step S311, the processor 21 transmits a participation application, and displays a passcode request in response to a subsequent request from the host terminal. The process of step S311 may be omitted when the passcode is not set when the exchange board is created.

In step S312, the processor 21 transmits the input passcode, and then determines whether or not the participation application has been accepted. In step S312, when the profile data is transmitted from the host terminal, it is determined that the participation application has been accepted. If it is not determined in step S312 that the participation application has been accepted, the process returns to step S311. When the predetermined number of participation applications are not accepted due to an input error of the passcode or the like, the process of FIG. 10 may be terminated. When it is determined in step S312 that the participation application has been accepted, the process proceeds to step S313.

In step S313, the processor 21 receives profile data from the host terminal. Further, the processor 21 transmits the profile data of the user of the own terminal to the terminal of the host.

In step S314, the processor 21 stores the received profile data in the storage 23. After that, the process of FIG. 10 ends. In the seminar exchange process, the process is automatically completed after the profile data is exchanged with the host terminal.

In step S315, the processor 21 determines whether or not to end the seminar exchange process. For example, when an operation to exit the option screen or an operation to switch to a process other than the seminar exchange process in the option screen is performed, it is determined that the seminar exchange process is terminated. If it is not determined in step S315 to end the seminar exchange process, the process returns to step S301. When it is determined in step S315 to end the seminar exchange process, the process of FIG. 10 ends.

As described above, in the embodiment, one of a plurality of persons acts as a host for exchanging profiles and provides a virtual shared space for exchanging profiles to the guest. Guests can easily obtain profile data from multiple people simply by accessing this virtual shared space. In addition, after the host also creates the virtual shared space, profile data can be exchanged between a plurality of people with almost no operation. As described above, in the embodiment, profile exchange within the face-to-face group can be easily carried out.

In addition, a passcode is required to access the virtual shared space. As a result, security can also be ensured.

Further, in the embodiment, two multi-person exchange processes, a multi-person exchange process and a seminar exchange process, are performed. In the seminar exchange process, mutual exchange of profile data among a plurality of persons who are permitted to publish profile data may be carried out. On the other hand, in the seminar exchange process, the guest profile data is not shared with other guests. At the place of the lecture, it would be good if the profile could be exchanged mainly with the speaker. On the other hand, it is necessary to exchange profiles with a large number of speakers. In the seminar exchange process, profile exchange with the speaker is automatically performed, but since profile data is not shared with other guests, security can be ensured more than in the multi-person exchange process.

[Modification example]
Hereinafter, a modified example of the embodiment will be described. In the above-described embodiment, it is assumed that there is only one host and the host is not changed in the middle. On the other hand, another terminal from the guests may become the host, for example, by designating from the terminal of the host. As a result, the exchange of profile data can be continued even if the host terminal has to leave the meeting place or the like due to circumstances.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be variously modified at the implementation stage without departing from the gist thereof. In addition, each embodiment may be carried out in combination as appropriate, in which case the combined effect can be obtained. Further, the above-described embodiment includes various inventions, and various inventions can be extracted by a combination selected from a plurality of disclosed constituent requirements. For example, even if some constituent elements are deleted from all the constituent elements shown in the embodiment, if the problem can be solved and the effect is obtained, the configuration in which the constituent elements are deleted can be extracted as an invention.
