Description

  The present invention relates to an information sharing system in which message data input from member terminals can be shared among specific member terminals.

Various social network services and mailing services are known as information sharing systems, and all use single identification information such as using an email address to identify a user.
On the other hand, even if it is an individual user, it owns a plurality of mobile phones, uses a plurality of providers, and owns a plurality of mail addresses.
Therefore, when registering and using single mail address data as user identification information, there is a problem that the partner cannot be specified without knowing specific mail address data even if one of a plurality of mail addresses is known.
In the message transmission / reception system disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-16721, a configuration is disclosed in which a plurality of mail addresses are associated with a user ID that is a receiver of message data. This is because a message created by a communication terminal is convenient for the receiver. It is intended to be received at a convenient terminal at a good time, and is not used to specify a user for information sharing.
Also, when authentication is performed on the Web screen of the server of the information sharing system, it is a complicated task to input mail address data as identification information.
JP 2002-16721 A

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its main problem is that a plurality of mail address data is recorded in association with internal identification information for specifying the user terminal, and any one of them stores the user terminal. An object of the present invention is to provide an information sharing system with improved convenience so that it can be specified by internal identification information when specified for identification.
Another problem of the present invention is that if a blank mail is transmitted to the server side using any one of the plurality of mail address data, the internal identification information of the user terminal on the transmitting side can be confirmed, and the server side can An object of the present invention is to provide an information sharing system that facilitates authentication on a Web screen by returning a password.

In order to solve the above problem, the device of claim 1
In an information sharing system capable of recording information input from user terminals registered in a server and sharing the information between specified user terminals,
The server
Means for giving one internal identification number for specifying the user terminal in response to a registration request from the user terminal;
Means for recording message data input from a user terminal together with the internal identification information;
Means for recording one or a plurality of mail address data input from a user terminal as a key data group for specifying internal identification information of the user terminal;
If one mail address data is input as data specifying another user terminal that desires information sharing from the user terminal, whether or not it matches the mail address data included in the key data group of the other user terminal Means for determining;
And means for associating the internal identification information with each other in order to share the data recorded together with the internal identification information of both user terminals.
In the device of claim 2,
When the user terminal sends a blank mail to the server by a mail function, the server searches the internal identification information of the user terminal based on the blank mail address, and confirms whether the user terminal is registered,
When the user terminal is registered, the server generates a mail address that functions as a one-time password for the user terminal, and returns to the user terminal by a mail function;
The server's Web screen can be authenticated using the mail address of the reply mail from the server as a password.
In the device of claim 3,
Means for recording group information for sharing information among the member terminals as attribute information of the member terminals in association with the internal identification information of the user terminals;
One mail address data that designates another user terminal that wishes to share information input from the user terminal is discarded when converted into internal identification information of another user terminal, and another user terminal is designated from the user terminal And a means for recording the nickname as an identifier for identifying a user who shares information when the nickname named is input.

As described above, even if the user has a large number of e-mail addresses, if the other user knows one of the e-mail addresses, the user can be identified. You can receive information sharing service.
Further, the user can send a blank e-mail from the terminal so that the server can identify the user and send a one-time password to the user terminal, so that Web authentication can be easily performed.

  Embodiments of an information sharing system according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the information sharing system is a system in which the Web and the mail function are linked, and between the server 1 and a large number of user terminals 10 such as computer terminals and mobile phones receiving services, It consists of a communication network N such as the Internet to be connected and a mobile phone network.
User registration is required to receive the services of the above system.
As shown in FIG. 2, the user accesses the server 1 from the user terminal 10, enters the Web screen, inputs one mail address data, and makes a user registration request for using the system.

Based on this, the server 1 side assigns internal identification information by the internal identification information providing means 2 to identify the user, and the mail address and the internal identification information are recorded as user information in a recording unit M such as a database. To do.
This internal identification information is used for specifying the user on the system side, and is not displayed outside.

  The user given the internal identification information can access the Web screen from the user terminal 10 and write a message. The written message is stored together with the internal identification information by the message recording means 3 in the storage unit M. To be recorded.

If the user has a plurality of email addresses provided by a mobile phone or personal computer provider, these email address data are input via the user terminal 10 and the email address when the registration request is made. Together with the data, the key data group is recorded in the storage unit M by the key data group recording means 4 in association with the internal identification information.
Accordingly, the internal identification information can be specified for any mail address data included in the key data group.

  Next, when information sharing is performed between users, when another user B requests information sharing to a certain user A on the Web screen, the server sends the user A's mail address to the user B. Prompt for data input.

User B inputs any one mail address data that user B knows to user A and a nickname given to user A by user B from the user terminal (for convenience of explanation, 10 ′). To do.
In the server, the determination means 5 determines whether or not the input mail address data matches any of the mail address data recorded in the key data group of the user A.

If they match, it is converted into the internal identification information of the user A, and the mail address data input by the user B becomes unnecessary.
In the server 1, the sharing means 6 associates the internal identification information of the user B, the nickname, and the internal identification information of the user A as information sharing, and records the information in the user information.
Since the user information is composed of the above data, the e-mail address and the personal identification information are not easily connected, and leakage of personal information can be prevented.

  As a result, the user B views the message data to which the internal identification information of the user A recorded in the storage unit in the system is added, and inputs another message or comment for the message. To be able to write.

When the information sharing is bidirectional, the user A also browses from the user terminal of the message data to which the internal identification information of the user B is given, and inputs and writes another message or comment on the message. be able to.
The key data group can be used for user authentication for entering the Web screen.
As shown in FIG. 3, when a user uses a mobile phone as the user terminal 10, when accessing the Web screen from the mobile phone, the user transmits a blank mail to the server.

The server acquires the destination mail address data from the blank mail.
Next, the key data group determining unit 11 determines whether or not the acquired mail address data matches the user's key data group.
If they match, the internal identification information of the empty mail sender can be confirmed, and a reply mail including a one-time password is transmitted to the user's mobile phone.

Here, the one-time password may be entered in the body of the reply mail so as to be linkable, or may be the mail address of the server.
In the former case, the user is not required to input special authentication because the user is directly connected to the Web screen by clicking the link in the mail text.

  In the latter case, when the server identifies the internal identification information of the user, the one-time password generation means 12 generates a mail address in which the one-time password is embedded, and a reply mail is sent to the user's mobile phone using the mail address. Is sent.

The user who receives the reply is automatically connected directly to the Web screen by replying to the mail address of the server 1, and in this case, the user does not need an input for special authentication.
In the case of a mobile phone, depending on the model, if the reply is made, the body of the email or the title of the email may disappear without being recorded, so it is extremely useful to embed a password in the email address.

When the degree of information sharing differs among users registered as users who share information, the server groups users in order to manage this.
At the time of this grouping, an identification number is assigned to each group, and if all the internal identification information of users belonging to each group is recorded, the number of groups becomes enormous, and information including entering and exiting each group Management becomes extremely complicated.

Therefore, in this system, a group identification number is recorded as user attribute data together with user internal identification information.
As a result, even when information is transmitted and received for each group, the user's attribute data is searched, and the internal identification information of the user having the identification number for the predetermined group is extracted. Can send and receive.
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various design changes can be made without changing the gist of the present invention.

It is a block diagram of an information sharing system. It is a block diagram for information sharing. It is a block diagram for authentication omission.
