Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic message board system for accessing a message board server from a communication terminal such as a mobile phone to provide a message to the message board server or receive a message from the message board server.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, terminals having a communication function such as a mobile phone, a PHS (simple mobile phone), a PDA (mobile information terminal), etc. have been rapidly spread in addition to general fixed-line telephones, and further, this kind of An electronic message board system using communication terminals has begun to be established. This system is a system that accesses a message board server from a communication terminal to provide a message to the message board server and receive a message from the message board server. The message can be delivered to a specific partner or an unspecified partner. In some cases, it is established mainly for the purpose of communication between subscribers.

[0003] For example, in the case of PHS, a program in which the caller can specify the distance from the place where the caller is now to the place where the message was sent and hear the information stored in the message board server Exists. In this program, the caller can narrow down the information transmission area and easily get only the information transmitted from the surrounding area close to him, and the information sender can hear the reply message addressed to him from anywhere. it can. The information provided includes recruitment of friends and friends, selling and buying, shopping information, and the like.

In these electronic message board systems, the information provided may include information that violates public order and morals or that is related to crime. Therefore, at present (eg, once a day), the staff on the server side regularly checks the contents of the public message stored in the message board server and deletes inappropriate information.

However, until the deletion, this inappropriate message is posted on the message board for a certain period of time, which is not preferable. In addition, there is whether or not the criteria to really delete to delete staff's own value judgments may become subjective.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In consideration of the above facts, the present invention aims to eliminate inappropriate messages in real time in an electronic message board system and to make the value judgment of the deletion more objective. And

The term "communication terminal" as used in this specification refers to a general fixed-line phone, a mobile phone, a PHS (simple mobile phone), and a P
It refers to all terminals that have communication functions, such as DAs (personal digital assistants).

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In this embodiment, the PHS calls the message board server to provide a message (information) to the message board server or receive a message from the message board server. As described in [Prior Art], Mr. A. An example will be described of a program in which PHS calls the message board server to provide a message, and a message stored in the message board server, which is transmitted from Mr. B's current location, can be heard. In this program, Mr. B narrowed down the information transmission area when making a call (for example, specify "information transmitted within a radius of 10 km from the place where he is now") and the surrounding area close to him. It is possible to easily obtain only the information sent from, and the information sender (Mr. A) can hear the response message addressed to himself from anywhere. The information provided includes recruitment of friends and friends, selling and buying, shopping information, and the like.

In the above program, if the information originally transmitted by Mr. A is found to be unpleasant or inappropriate,
A system for deleting Mr. A's information by voting by people who have called the message board server to receive the information will be described below. Accept votes,
There is a system in the message board server 2 that deletes the information when the number of votes for deletion reaches a predetermined number.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the electronic message board system according to this embodiment. Message board server 2
Is connected to the user's PHS via a telephone line.
Here, two users are set up, one is PHS of Mr. A,
The other is Mr. B's PHS.

The message board server 2 comprises a receiving unit 4, a message storing unit 6, a counting unit 8 and a voice guiding unit 10. The receiving unit 4 is connected to the user's PHS via a telephone line and receives telephone communication from the user. The message storage unit 6 has a normal storage unit 12 and a separate storage unit 14 for storing a user's message, and is connected to the reception unit 4. The counting unit 8 is connected to the receiving unit 4. The voice guidance unit 10 is connected to the reception unit 4, the counting unit 8, and the message storage unit 6.

The processing operation of the above configuration will be described as the operation of this embodiment.

First, the case where Mr. A sends a message from PHS will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the processing operation of the message board server 2 in the procedure of transmitting a message. A message may provide information for the first time or may be a reply to a message that has already been received. Here, the case where information is provided for the first time will be described.

When Mr. A makes a call to the message board server 2 by PHS, the receiving unit 4 receives the call from Mr. A via the telephone line. After the reception, the voice guidance unit 10 generates voice guidance so as to input a message, and the reception unit 4 sends the voice guidance to Mr. A (step 90). When the message is input by Mr. A (step 92), the message is input by Mr. A (step 94). The message is stored in the message storage unit 6 via the reception unit 4. If the message is not entered by Mr. A (Step 9
2) The message transmission procedure ends (step 9).
6). When the message is input / stored, the voice guidance unit 10 recognizes that the message has been input / stored, and the voice guidance unit 10 generates a voice guidance such as "I have kept your message". At the same time, it is passed to Mr. A (step 106). When the message is input / saved in step 94, whether the flag described later is ON or OF
It is judged whether it is F (step 98), and if it is ON, the message is stored in the separate storage section 14 (step 1).
00), if it is OFF, the message is stored in the ordinary storage unit 12 (step 102). Step 106
After, the message transmission procedure ends.

Next, a case where Mr. B receives a message will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the processing operation of the message board server 2 in the procedure for receiving a message.

When Mr. B makes a call to the message board server 2 by PHS, the receiving unit 4 receives the call from Mr. B via the telephone line. After the reception, the voice guidance unit 10 generates a voice guidance explaining that the message transmission area is requested and that the message can be voted to be deleted if the message is unpleasant or inappropriate. A voice guidance is sent to him (step 50).

When Mr. B designates, for example, "information for recruiting friends with information transmitted within a radius of 10 km from where he is now" (step 52), the message storage unit 6 searches for the existence of the corresponding message. Yes (Step 5
4). In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the message transmitted from Mr. A corresponds to the designation of Mr. B. If the reply message addressed to Mr. B is stored in the message storage unit 6, the reply message is also retrieved (step 54). In addition, the message to be searched is the normal storage unit 1 for both the initial message and the reply message.
Only the message stored in 2 (step 54). Messages stored in the separate storage unit 14 are not searched.

If the corresponding message is present in step 54, the voice guidance unit 10 provides guidance for reading the number of each of the initial message and the reply message and the date and time when the first message is transmitted.
Is generated in step S6 and sent by the receiving unit 4 (step 56).
Here, the order of reading is such that the initial message has priority over the reply message. That is, the initial message becomes the first message. If the message does not exist in step 54, the procedure for receiving the message ends (step 58).

After step 56, the stored message (here, Mr. A's message) is reproduced via the voice guidance unit 10 and played by the receiving unit 4 (step 6).
0).

After the reproduction, the menu guidance is generated by the voice guidance unit 10 and played by the reception unit 4 (step 6).
2). Menus are 4 "vote for message deletion", 0 "replay message", # "next message playback", 6 "previous message", 7 "reply input /
There are "recording" and * "back". The menu is selected by Mr. B (step 64).

When Mr. B hears Mr. A's message and thinks that Mr. A's message violates public order and morals,
"Mr. A's message should be deleted." One vote for Mr. B's ID (phone number)
Since the votes are valid and only one vote can be voted for one message from the same telephone number, it is possible to prevent the same person from voting more than one vote for one message, and a fair voting system is achieved.

When 4 "vote for message deletion" is selected, the counting section 8 adds one vote for message deletion (step 66). Whether or not the message count has reached a predetermined number (here, 20) and the total number of vote for message deletion are calculated (step 78). If the predetermined number (ie, 20) has been reached, then 20 people have found Mr. A's message unpleasant. Then, the voice guidance unit 10 generates a warning message for Mr. A (step 80), and when Mr. A next calls the message board server 2, this warning message is played. The warning message may be a phrase such as "The message you sent on the xx month was unpleasant because many people felt uncomfortable." When the warning message is generated by the voice guidance unit 10, this message of Mr. A, which was normally stored in the storage unit 12, is moved to the separate storage unit 14 (step 8).
1). As a result, even if someone calls the message board server 2 thereafter, the message of Mr. A cannot be received.

Next, it is judged whether or not the warning message to Mr. A has reached a predetermined number of times (here, three times) (step 82). If it has reached, the flag is turned on (step 8).
4). The fact that it has reached A means that it has been combined with the past and this time.
He has deleted the message three times, which means that many people regularly send messages that many find unpleasant and inappropriate. If not reached, the flag remains OFF (step 86). Flag is ON
Then, as described above, the message transmitted by Mr. A thereafter is stored in the separate storage unit 14 of the message board server 2 regardless of whether it is a new message or a reply message (step 100 in FIG. 2). When it is stored in the separate storage unit 14, even if someone calls the message board server 2, no message of Mr. A can be received. That is, Mr. A's message is effectively removed from the message board. If the flag remains OFF, as described above, the message sent from Mr. A is stored in the ordinary storage unit 12 of the message board server 2 regardless of whether it is a new message or a reply message (FIG. 2). Step 102). That is, if Mr. A sends a message from then on, another person can receive Mr. A's message when calling the message board server 2.

When a warning message for Mr. A is generated in step 80, a message notifying that the vote has been voted, such as "I voted to delete the message," is generated by the voice guidance unit 10, and the reception unit 4 (step 88). If the message count does not reach the predetermined number in step 78, it means that the number of people who are uncomfortable with Mr. A's message has not reached the predetermined number, so Mr. A's message is deleted at this stage. If not (it is not moved to another storage unit), the process proceeds to step 88. The process moves from step 88 to step 54.

If 0 is selected in step 64,
Returning to step 54, the message is replayed. When # is selected in step 64, the process moves to the next message (step 68) and the process returns to step 54. If 6 is selected in step 64, the process moves to the previous message (step 70) and returns to step 54. If 7 is selected in step 64, the process moves to the step of recording a reply (step 72) and then to the reply recording logic (step 74). When * is selected in step 64, the process returns to the step of returning to the original (step 7
6) Go to step 58 and end.

According to the present embodiment, a predetermined number of people can delete a message that they find unpleasant or inappropriate in real time. , I don't need to post it on the message board. Further, since the message is deleted when the predetermined number of votes are received, it means that the predetermined number of people have decided that the message should be deleted, and the value judgment of the deletion can be made more objective. Also, data about what kind of message the public feels unpleasant is stored, which will be useful for the program organizer to manually check on the server side in the future. In parallel with this embodiment, the message board server 2 can more reliably delete an inappropriate message from the message board by manually manually checking the content of the message.

Further, by displaying a warning message to the person (Mr. A) who has provided the message that the predetermined number of people have decided to delete, Mr. A can recognize that the message is inappropriate and from the next time onward. Providing such a message may be withheld.

Further, for a person who regularly provides an unpleasant or inappropriate message, it is possible to make the message unviewable by preventing others from receiving the message provided by the person. it can. The person who provided the message (Mr. A) has a separate message storage unit 1
Since it is not known that it was saved in No. 4, it is possible to generate the effect of not posting the message board mildly without prompting the repulsion of the person himself.

The present invention is applicable not only to PHS but also to terminals having a communication function such as general fixed telephones, mobile telephones, PDAs, personal computers connected to telephone lines, and the like.
