Description

  The present invention relates to a method for managing personal information of a mobile terminal in a communication system including an exchange / wireless device that controls connection to the mobile terminal.

  In recent years, the functions of mobile terminals have been enhanced and various types of information can be stored in the terminals. Among the information is information that the individual who owns the mobile terminal accumulates various contact information as necessary, but there are information that may be notified to others and information that you do not want to be known. . For example, in the case of a mobile phone, it is a common practice for an individual's e-mail address to change due to spam mail countermeasures, etc. Every time the address changes, there is a means that the changed person voluntarily notifies all of them by e-mail etc. It has become common. If there was a user who was not deliberate and did not receive the notification email by mistake, and if the user wants to know the new email address, he or she should confirm it verbally or send a notification email. There is no other way but to request.

  On the other hand, leakage of personal information to places that individuals do not expect has a large impact, and it is necessary to take some countermeasures for that, but the provision of personal information within the allowable range of individuals is hindered. Smooth communication may be hindered, and the solution is desired.

  The mobile phone e-mail address data includes various information such as phone number, company name, and address. These information are personal information of the mobile phone owner. The work of restricting access from the user is troublesome, and proposals have been made to facilitate the management of personal information, one of which is shown in the explanatory diagram of the conventional example in FIG. 1).

  In FIG. 22, 80 is the Internet, 81 is a management server, 82 is a wireless network, 83 is a mobile phone having an address book storing e-mail addresses and telephone numbers, 84 is an Internet service provider (ISP), and 85 is a public network. A telephone line, 86 is a computer 1-4, and 87 is an in-house LAN.

In the conventional example shown in FIG. 22, each of the computers 1 to 4 accesses the management server 81 on the Internet 80 via the LAN 87, the public telephone line 85, and the ISP 84, registers its personal information, and The user accesses the management server 81 of the Internet 82 via the wireless network 82 and registers his / her personal information. The management server 81 registers the personal information sent from the computers 1 to 4 and the mobile phone 83 in the database, and when there is a request for personal information of a user from the computers 1 to 4 or the mobile phone 83, the personal information Information is provided to the requested computers 1 to 4 and the cellular phone 83. In this case, for example, when the user of the computer 1 wants to register the personal information of the user of the mobile phone 83 in his / her address book, the name of the user of the mobile phone 83 is used as a keyword for searching the personal information. To the management server 81. The management server 81 searches for personal information matching the keyword from the computer 1 (for example, personal information including the keyword) and transmits it to the computer 1. Further, the management server 81 controls or restricts the users who can provide the registered personal information by setting access restriction information when the information is provided to another person. There is also a technology for performing control such as checking to authenticate the user.
JP 2001-5833 A

  According to the prior art described above, since the personal information body of the user of the portable terminal (or computer) is stored and managed in a management server on a network such as the Internet, the personal information itself cannot be directly managed by the user of the portable terminal. There is a problem that personal information is likely to be leaked because it is registered in the device.

  In addition, since the management server provided on the conventional network is a device that accumulates and manages personal information of a large number of users, a large amount of capital investment and maintenance costs are borne by the operator operating the network including the management server. Must.

  Furthermore, in order to store personal information in the management server, for example, in the case of a mobile phone, it is a common practice for personal email addresses to change due to measures against spam, etc., but access to the management server to change information, Even when the access restriction according to the type of personal information is changed, it is necessary to access the management server according to a predetermined procedure, which requires time and effort.

  The present invention provides a personal information management system for mobile terminals that can maintain security using an exchange / wireless device without storing personal information in a network management server and can manage personal information in each mobile terminal. The purpose is to do.

  FIG. 1 shows the principle configuration of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a portable terminal, 2 is a wireless transmission path including a base station that communicates with the portable terminal, and 3 is connected to a communication partner (such as a portable terminal or a computer) connected to the portable terminal via the wireless transmission path 2. An exchange or wireless device representing one of an exchange or a wireless device having subscriber data for performing control, and authenticating a personal information acquisition request or a personal information notification request to the device according to the present invention. There is a function to do this. 4 represents another mobile terminal.

  1a in the portable terminal 1 requests the exchange / radio device 3 to notify the communication partner (designated portable terminal) of an access key that permits access to the personal information of the portable terminal 1, or exchange / wireless. Access key notification / registration means for registering an access key sent from the other mobile terminal 3 in the personal information storage unit 1e of the mobile terminal 1, and 1b acquired when it is desired to acquire personal information of the other mobile terminal A personal information acquisition request processing means for generating a request or receiving and processing an acquisition request, 1c is a user of the mobile terminal 1 who transmits his / her personal information (for example, changed email address) to another person (family, Personal information notification request processing means for requesting notification to a friend, company, etc.) or processing personal information notified from other mobile terminals, 1d For information and information on other people involved, divide the parties into groups, divide the information into items, set information on whether or not to publish or receive information for each item, check the setting status, and publish or receive information Personal information disclosure / reception determination means 1e for determining whether or not the mobile terminal 1 is acceptable, and 1e is a personal information storage unit that stores the personal information of the portable terminal 1.

  When the exchange key / radio device 3a receives an access key notification request designating the counterpart mobile terminal from each mobile terminal, it generates a corresponding access key and registers it in the subscriber data storage unit 3d and also the counterpart mobile terminal Access key generation / notification means for notifying the access key to the mobile terminal 3b is whether it is a valid access key for the personal information notification request, the personal information acquisition request, etc. with the access key added from the portable terminal The access key authenticating means 3c for checking the personal information 3c notifies the other mobile terminal when authentication is obtained for the personal information acquisition request sent to the other mobile terminal sent from the mobile terminal, and the information acquired from the other party by the acquisition request. Notification transfer means 3d for transferring to the request source and notifying the other mobile terminal when authentication for the personal information notification request is obtained. Subscriber number of (telephone number), a subscriber data storage unit that stores the access key that has been generated or updated for each portable terminal according to the present invention together with information such as device ID. 4a to 4e inside the other portable terminal 4 are the same as reference numerals 1a to 1e in the portable terminal 1, and the description thereof is omitted. Note that the mobile terminal 1, the exchange / radio device 3 and the other mobile terminal 4 in FIG. 1 have the same call control and communication mechanisms as those shown in FIG.

  In the present invention, since personal information itself is managed by the mobile terminal 1 of each individual, it is not necessary to store the personal information itself in an external device, thereby reducing the risk of personal information leakage and accessing personal information. By managing only the key with the server, there is no need to provide a “management server” for storing personal information on the network as in the prior art. Since one access key itself is basically assigned to one mobile terminal, the amount of information is smaller than that of personal information. In addition, since a transfer of the access key is determined by a request from the mobile terminal, no complicated function is required. As a result, the mechanism provided in the exchange / wireless device by the communication carrier can be simplified.

  In FIG. 1, the personal information stored in the personal information storage units 1e and 4e of the mobile terminal 1 and other mobile terminals 4 can be exchanged between the mobile terminals. As an authentication method for exchange, an access key authentication method in an exchange / wireless device is adopted. The personal information referred to here is personal information data stored in the mobile terminal 1 or the mobile terminal 4, and includes not only the information of the owner of the mobile terminal but also the family, friends, and company (workplace). ), Etc., which are composed of information on a plurality of items such as names, e-mail addresses, and addresses of portable terminals classified into groups. Computers other than mobile terminals, such as fixed telephones and computers connected by communication lines, can also be included in the personal information. The personal information stored in the personal information storage units 1e and 4e of these portable terminals 1 and 4 is whether or not each information can be disclosed in response to an acquisition request from another person when the information is input or after the input. , It is possible to set whether or not to publish for each portable terminal, and to set whether or not to receive (rewrite) a personal information notification (including update or change) from another person. Further, in the present invention, an access key, a notification of personal information, and a message for acquiring personal information between a portable terminal and an exchange / wireless device are messages (data) exchanged between the existing portable terminal and the exchange / wireless device. ) Can be used.

  The basic operation according to the present invention will be described in the following (1) to (3).

(1) Notification of access key In order for each mobile terminal to exchange personal information with each other, an authentication method using an access key is adopted. First, when it is desired to update personal information or notify an access key, another mobile terminal 4 (which may be a plurality of mobile terminals according to the list) is designated as a notification destination, and the access key notification / registration means 1a of the mobile terminal 1 is designated. Is activated, an access key notification request is generated and received by the exchange / radio device 3 from the portable terminal 1 via the radio transmission path 2. When the exchange / radio device 3 identifies an access key notification request, the access key generation / notification means 3a performs a specific calculation using the subscriber number (telephone number) or device number of the requesting mobile terminal 1. Generate an access key (only access key for accessing personal information of the mobile terminal 1 is AK1) that is generated only by the exchange / radio device 3 by random number generation and consists of a highly secure code Then, the generated access key is registered in the subscriber data storage unit 3d, and is notified as the access key (AK1) to the mobile terminal 1 to the other (partner) mobile terminal 4 specified in the notification request. When the other portable terminal 4 receives this, the access key notification / registration means 4a stores it in the personal information storage unit 4e of the own portable terminal 4. This access key is used as an authentication key when requesting personal information of the mobile terminal 1 from the mobile terminal 4.

(2) Acquisition of personal information Personal information of other people who are not included in the personal information storage unit 1e of his / her mobile terminal 1 can be freely acquired within the range permitted by other mobile terminals. To. When an access key of another mobile terminal 4 (access key for accessing personal information of the mobile terminal 4 is set as AK4) is received in advance and stored in the personal information storage unit 1e of the mobile terminal 1, the mobile terminal 4 The personal information acquisition request processing means 1b is driven by requesting the personal information. When a request for personal information with an access key (AK4) is sent from the portable terminal 1 to the exchange / wireless device 3, the access key authentication means 3b in the exchange / wireless device 3 authenticates the access key. At this time, the access key (AK4) stored in the subscriber data storage unit 3d of the exchange / radio apparatus 3 when the access key (AK4) is notified from the other mobile terminal 4 to the mobile terminal 1 and the mobile terminal 1 Authentication is performed by determining whether the received access keys match. If they match, it is authenticated as correct and a personal information acquisition request is sent to the counterpart portable terminal 4. In the other (other party) mobile terminal 4, whether the requested personal information can be disclosed is referred to for each item of the personal information stored in the personal information storage unit 1e. If it is determined that the information can be disclosed, the personal information is read out and transmitted to the other (the other party) mobile terminal 4, and if it is determined that the information cannot be disclosed, the requested information is obtained. Informs that it is not public (or private). The mobile terminal 1 stores the personal information acquired from the other mobile terminal 4 in its own personal information storage unit 1e.

(3) Notification of personal information Personal information to be notified to other mobile terminals can be freely notified to other mobile terminals. That is, in the portable terminal 1 having the access key (AK4) of another portable terminal 4 in advance, when personal information to be notified to the portable terminal 4 is generated (or the personal information is changed), the personal information notification request processing means 1c is set. When driven, a notification request is sent to the exchange / radio device 3 with an access key corresponding to the personal information to be notified. When the exchange / radio device 3 receives the notification request, the access key authenticating means 3b performs authentication, and when authentication is obtained, the personal information is notified to the other portable terminal 4. The other portable terminal 4 determines whether the personal information notified by the personal information disclosure / reception determining means 4d is set as receivable (rewritable) information. It is stored (rewritten) in the personal information storage unit 4e as personal information data.

  According to the present invention, since the personal information is stored on the mobile terminal side, the owner can directly manage it, and the information can be used safely. Further, since the access key is generated by a specific method only in the exchange / wireless device and is authenticated by the exchange / wireless device, highly reliable messages can be exchanged. Only when authentication is obtained by the exchange / wireless device, only highly secure messages are sent to the mobile terminal, so even if there is an attack for obtaining personal information from a bad dealer, it does not reach the mobile terminal. Lightening the load at the station eliminates unnecessary power consumption.

  The effects of the present invention are divided into the following items.

  (1) Since personal information can be acquired freely within the permitted range, mobile terminal users who have changed their personal information (for example, e-mail address) must voluntarily notify the change as before. Disappear.

  (2) When notifying the change of personal information, the user is automatically picked up using the personal information data set in advance, so that the trouble of selecting the user to be notified can be saved.

  (3) A mobile terminal user who is notified of personal information can obtain the latest information automatically notified without any special operation.

  (4) Mobile terminal users can freely notify / acquire only necessary personal information as required by the other party in a highly secure manner through the exchange and radio equipment. Can do.

  (5) Personal information in mobile terminals can be shared within a specific “group (eg family, best friend, company)”. Thereby, the use efficiency of the storage device using the portable terminal between “groups” can be improved. That is, it is not necessary to store personal information in the memory in duplicate, so that a storage device with sufficient margin can be used for another purpose.

  (6) Since the telecommunications carrier providing this service does not need to arrange a huge personal information database in its own equipment, the service according to the present invention can be realized with a minimum equipment investment.

  (7) In the exchange of personal information, a conventional signal can be used as it is by using a special number and SMS (Short Message Service). However, the communication means used in the present invention is not limited to SMS, and other communication means such as e-mail may be used.

  (8) By arranging the access key authentication function and the message (SMS, etc.) generation function in the exchange / wireless device, it is possible to exchange information with a highly secure message guaranteed by the exchange / wireless device. Thereby, the reliability from the user with respect to the handling of personal information of the mobile operator having this function can be improved.

  (9) By placing an access key authentication function and a message (SMS, etc.) generation function in an exchange / wireless device, the traffic to the entire network and the unnecessary power consumption of the mobile terminal by those who perform unauthorized access are avoided. be able to.

  (10) Since it is possible to charge for each acquisition request of personal information, all access key searches by so-called unscrupulous traders can also be suppressed.

  (12) Since the access key is automatically generated by the exchange / wireless device, it is impossible to guess the access key itself by guessing like the password set by the user.

  (13) The access key is not always the same, and is updated by the exchange / wireless device in response to a request from the portable terminal. Therefore, more secure authentication is possible when exchanging personal information.

  (14) “Personal information acquisition request” When the mobile terminal on the receiving side is unable to receive the “Personal information acquisition request” (the radio wave does not reach, the power is not turned on) Since there is a relief process for resending the “information acquisition request”, the re-request procedure by the portable terminal on the transmission side of the “personal information acquisition request” is unnecessary. In the case of “notification of personal information” and “notification of access key”, there is a similar relief process.

  (15) Since personal information can be obtained using free words, it is possible to perform a highly secure telephone directory function within the permitted group.

The column (2) on the right side is a code indicating the information type of each personal information, and the columns (3) to (6) are groups 0 to 3 to which other mobile terminal owners other than the mobile terminal A belong. For each mobile terminal belonging to (see FIG. 6), the setting information of whether to disclose or not to receive is stored for each personal information in column (1). Information indicating availability of disclosure and reception availability set at the position where each column (3) to (6) intersects with the row of each personal information is the initial state before setting by the user. “·” Indicates that the information cannot be disclosed, and “·” after “/” indicates that the information cannot be received). After that, the user of the mobile terminal A sets “○” (can be disclosed, It is set to "X" (represents that reception is possible) or "X" (represents private, reception is not required). For example, when “O / X” is set, it means that it can be disclosed and reception is not required. For mobile terminal B ′ in column (7), B belongs to “Group 1 (Family)” in the personal information disclosure group data of mobile terminal A, but the disclosure permission information of “mobile terminal B ′” is included. This information takes precedence if it is defined individually as described in this column.

  The information on A includes information on a0 to a7, where a0 is the name of the owner of the mobile terminal A (in this example, “Taro Suzuki”, the information type is 000), and a1 is the address (information type 002 ), A2 is a telephone number (information type 003), a3 is an email address (information type 004), a4 is a company name (information type 005), a5 is a company address (information type 006), and a6 is a position of the mobile terminal A The position information (information type 007) and a7 are composed of an account number (information type 008). Information related to B stores various types of information of b0, b8, b1 to b3, b9, and b10, b0 to b3 are the same type as the above a0 to a3, and b8 is assigned to the portable terminal B The group (information type 001) is stored, and in this example, the group 1 representing the family is assigned. In b9, the access key notification status (information type 888) for the mobile terminal B is set, and the initial state is “ “Access key not notified”, “Access key not notified” if access key not notified, “Access key notified (access key notification OK not received)” if not notified, “Access key notified” if not notified, notification not possible "Access key notification disabled" is set. Further, an access key (information type 999) to the portable terminal B is set in b10. Hereinafter, each information is set as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 for the mobile terminals C to Z (information on D and E in FIG. 5 is omitted) and B ′.

On this screen, the e-mail address can be made public or private to the group of mobile terminal owners (see Fig. 6) such as family, best friend, company, etc., and can be received or not received Can be set. It is also possible to set whether individual information can be disclosed or not received for each individual. For example, it is set so that specific information can be disclosed to only one selected person in the family.

  FIG. 8 shows an example of the configuration of subscriber data stored in the subscriber data storage unit (38 in FIG. 3) of the exchange / wireless device. In this example, [09011...] Is first stored as the subscriber number (phone number of the mobile terminal), then [0x11...] Is stored as the mobile terminal number of the mobile terminal, Various types of information are stored, and finally an access key [0xAABB...] Is set.

  As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the personal information data of the portable terminal A is classified into groups, and the transmission is performed after setting the disclosure / reception availability information to each personal information. FIG. 9 shows an access key for normal transmission. The operation sequence of notification is shown. In each operation sequence of the embodiment described below, message transmission / reception between the portable terminal and the exchange / wireless device is performed using SMS.

  In FIG. 9, 1 is a mobile terminal A, 18 is personal information data of the mobile terminal A having the contents shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 (corresponding to the personal information data storage unit in FIG. 2), 3 is an exchange / wireless device, 38 is subscriber data held by the exchange / radio device 3 (corresponding to the subscriber data storage unit in FIG. 3), 4 is a mobile terminal B on the other side where the mobile terminal A makes a call, and 40 is personal information of the mobile terminal B. It is data.

  The case where the mobile terminal A wants to notify the mobile terminal B of the access key when making a normal call will be described. The mobile terminal B reads the data of the mobile terminal B from the personal information data storage unit 18 of the mobile terminal A, and the mobile terminal B (C) in FIG. 9 and if it is “group 0 (private)”, the access key cannot be notified, and the operation ends. However, as shown in FIG. Then, since the portable terminal B is in the group 1, it is next determined whether or not the access key has been notified (d). If it has been notified, the process ends. If not notified (not notified), the information related to the mobile terminal B in the personal information data storage unit 18 is updated (the access key notification status is set to “notifying”) (see FIG. 9 e, f), a special number transmission including “normal transmission” (the other party's telephone number) + “access key notification request” is made to the portable terminal B (g). At this time, the user of the portable terminal A is not aware that it is a special number transmission because it performs the same procedure as the normal transmission. By this transmission, the state is changed to a communication state with the partner mobile terminal B under the control of the exchange / radio device 3 (h in FIG. 9).

  When this communication is finished, if the exchange / radio device 3 detects that this communication is the first communication (initial communication) after purchasing the portable terminal A, the exchange / radio device 3 uses the access key of the portable terminal A. It generates (i in FIG. 9) and updates the access key of the portable terminal A in the subscriber data storage unit 38 (same j). If this communication is the second or later communication, the exchange / wireless device 3 reads the access key of the portable terminal A (l in FIG. 9).

  In the case of the initial communication, when an access key is generated by the exchange / radio device 3, the subscriber data storage unit 38 is updated, and an access key update request (exchange / SMS (Short Message Service) to which the access key is attached is generated by the exchange / radio device 3 and transmitted to the mobile terminal B (m in FIG. 9). When this is received, the access key of the portable terminal A is written into the personal information data 40 of the portable terminal B (n). The mobile terminal B generates an SMS in which the information “access key update OK” is added to the “access key update result” (same as o), and notifies the exchange / radio device 3 of the SMS as the access key update result (same as p). . The exchange / radio apparatus 3 generates an SMS including an “access key update result” that can be generated only by the exchange / radio apparatus 3 (q in FIG. 9), and notifies the mobile terminal A of the SMS of the access key update result. (Same as r), when this is received by the portable terminal A, the access key notification status of the personal information data is set to “notified” (s).

  Simultaneous notification of access keys is implemented when personal information is changed in the mobile terminal A or when an access key is consciously notified. FIG. 10 shows an operation sequence of access key notification by simultaneous notification.

  When a simultaneous notification is instructed (by changing personal information, operating a specific key, or the like), the mobile terminal A refers to the personal information data storage unit 18 (a, b in FIG. 10) and reads “Group 0 ( List the terminals whose “access key notification status” is “not yet notified” in a group other than “unpublished” and store the access key update request terminal list (including the phone numbers of the mobile terminals B and C). Then, the “access key notification status” of the listed mobile terminal is set to “notifying” (d). The generated “access key update request terminal list” is notified to the exchange / radio device 3 by “access key notification request” (e in FIG. 10). At this time, if the “access key notification request” does not fit in one SMS, it is divided into a plurality of SMSs and transmitted.

  When this exchange is received by the exchange / radio device 3 and this communication is the first communication (initial communication) after purchasing the portable terminal A, the exchange / radio device 3 generates an access key for the portable terminal A ( In FIG. 10 f), data is written in the subscriber data storage unit 38 (g). If this communication is the second or subsequent time, the mobile terminal A access key is read (h in FIG. 10), the access key update request SMS is generated (same i), and the received “access key update request terminal list” is An “access key update request” is transmitted to the target terminal (same as j). At this time, the timer (time T) is started. In the example of FIG. 10, it is assumed that the mobile terminal B and the mobile terminal C are set in the access key update request terminal list, and the mobile terminal B first updates the access key of the mobile terminal A in the personal information data 40 ( In FIG. 10, k), an SMS of the access key update result is generated (same as l) and notified to the exchange / radio device 3 (same as m). Subsequently, the same operation is performed for the portable terminal C (n to q in FIG. 10). The exchange / radio device 3 waits for the reception of the access key update result from each terminal for a certain period of time, and when the waiting timer expires, the access key update result terminal list (each of the mobile terminal B and the mobile terminal C). When the update result is set to “notified”), an SMS of the access key update result is generated (r in FIG. 10) and notified to the mobile terminal A (s), the personal information data storage unit in the mobile terminal A 18 is set to “notified” (at the same time).

  FIG. 11 shows an operation sequence when the access key cannot be notified by simultaneous notification. This is an operation sequence in the case where notification cannot be performed by simultaneous notification of access keys. In the case of FIG. 11 as well, the same operation sequence as in FIGS. 10A to 10M is executed, the exchange key / radio device 3 updates the access key for the portable terminal B, and then the exchange / radio device 3 sends the portable terminal C. When the access key update request SMS is sent to the mobile terminal C, if the mobile terminal C is in a range where the power is off (OFF) or the radio wave does not reach, the access key update is not executed if the reception is not possible (n). The result of the update OK is not received by the exchange / radio device 3. In this case, the exchange / wireless device 3 waits for the reception of the access key update result from the mobile terminal C, and when the wait timer expires, the access key update result terminal list (the update result of the mobile terminal B is “notified”). The update result of the mobile terminal C is set to “notifying” (FIG. 11, o, p), the SMS of the access key update result is generated (same p), and the mobile terminal A is notified (same as above). q).

  As a result, the personal information data storage unit 18 is updated in the mobile terminal A (r in FIG. 11), but since the mobile terminal C whose access key notification status is being notified is included, the access key update is performed thereafter. A request terminal list is generated (s), and an access key update request (retransmission) including an access key update request terminal list (in this example, the telephone number of the mobile terminal C is set) for the exchange / radio device 3 Is transmitted to the exchange / radio device 3 (t). The number of retransmissions can be set on the mobile terminal side. Upon receiving this access key update request, the exchange / radio device 3 generates an access key update request SMS from the access key update request terminal list (same as u) and retransmits it to the mobile terminal C (v in FIG. 11). ). Also in this case, when the mobile terminal C cannot receive, the SMS of the access key update request is regenerated when the timer expires (w in FIG. 11) and transmitted to the mobile terminal C (same as x). At this time, the update request is received by the mobile terminal C, the access key of the mobile terminal A in the personal information data 50 is updated (y in FIG. 11), and the SMS of the access key update result is generated (z). , Transmitted to the exchange / radio device 3. Thereafter, the same operations (a ′ to e ′) as the above described o to r in FIG. 11 are executed. As a result, the notification state of the access key to the portable terminal C in the personal information data storage unit 18 of the portable terminal A becomes “notified”.

  In the operation sequence of FIG. 11, the access key for simultaneous notification is retransmitted to the mobile terminal C, and the number of retransmissions of the “access key update request” preset in the exchange / wireless device 3 has expired. If the access key update result from the mobile terminal C is not received, an “access key update result terminal list” is generated and given to the mobile terminal A with the SMS of the “access key update result” (update NG). Send. Receiving this, the mobile terminal A sets the access key notification status for the mobile terminal C in the personal information data storage unit 18 to “not notified” according to the “access key update result terminal list”, and ends.

  FIG. 12 shows an operation sequence for updating the access key. To update the access key, if the existing access key needs to be invalidated (if the setting of the personal information data needs to be changed or updated, it is necessary to change the setting of whether to allow public disclosure or reception), and change the access key. change.

  First, in the mobile terminal A, the public information public group data (groups 1 to 3) and personal information data are updated (a in FIG. 12). In this example, the portable terminal C is changed from the conventional friend group 2 to the private group 0 (or the information of the portable terminal C itself is deleted). If the mobile terminal C is changed from “Group2 (best friend)” to “Group0 (private)”, and if the personal information data is set to the individual mobile terminal C, delete it. do not do.

  Thereafter, an access key transfer terminal list (other than group 0 (private)) is generated (b in FIG. 12). The generated access key change request SMS is transmitted to the exchange / radio apparatus 3 (c in FIG. 12). Upon receipt of this, the exchange / radio apparatus 3 generates a new access key (d), and the subscriber. The access key of the previous portable terminal A stored in the data storage unit 38 is updated (same as e).

  Next, an SMS for an access key update request is generated (f in FIG. 12). The SMS of the access key update request is notified to all the mobile terminals included in the access key transfer terminal list (b), but in this example, since the mobile terminal C is out of the list, the mobile terminal B (G in FIG. 12), and the timer starts simultaneously. When the mobile terminal B receives the access key update request SMS, the mobile terminal A updates the access key of the mobile terminal A stored in the personal information data 40 (same as h), and generates the access key update result SMS (same as i). ), And transmits the SMS to the exchange / radio device 3 (same as j). The mobile terminal C that has not received the “access key update request” cannot access the “personal information data” of the mobile terminal A unless it receives the “access key update request” again. Note that the user of the mobile terminal B that receives the “access key update request” does not need a special operation.

  When the timer expires (timeout), a terminal list of access key update results is generated (k in FIG. 12), an SMS of access key update results is generated (same as l), and transmitted to the mobile terminal A (same as m). The access key notification status of the public information public group data in the personal information data storage unit 18 of the portable terminal A is set to notified (notified flag) (n). Thereafter, an SMS of the access key update result reception notification is generated (o in FIG. 12) and notified to the exchange / radio device 3 (same p).

  A storage unit is provided in the mobile terminal for storing the notification status to each mobile terminal for each personal information of the personal information data. FIG. 13 shows a data configuration example of the notification status storage unit.

  A. of FIG. Is "not notified (personal information not yet stored)" for each of mobile terminal A to mobile terminal E for each of "name", "address", "phone number", and "e-mail address" of personal information of mobile terminal B. “Notification)” and “Notified (Personal Information Notified)” are set. In addition, there are states of “notifying (not receiving personal information notification OK)” and “not being notified (not allowing personal information notification)”. Further, B. of FIG. Is a notification status for mobile terminals A to E with respect to “name”, “address”, “phone number”, “E-mail address”, etc. of personal information of mobile terminal C.

  This “personal information notification status” is for preventing unnecessary information from being notified to a mobile terminal that has already been notified in the case of simultaneous notification of personal information (FIG. 19 described later). is there. When the corresponding personal information is updated, the notification status is set to “not notified” (cleared). The personal information notification status is similar to the state transition of the access key notification status, but this data is updated not only when the personal information is notified but also when the personal information is acquired. The notification status of these personal information is stored in the personal information notification status of the personal information data (FIGS. 4 and 5).

  Next, FIG. 14 shows an operation sequence for acquiring personal information of a certain person from another portable terminal. In this example, the mobile terminal B (family of the mobile terminal A (group 1)) requested the mobile terminal A to acquire the email address of the mobile terminal C (the best friend of the mobile terminal A (group 2)). 15 shows an example of a message or data used for obtaining personal information in FIG.

  A. of FIG. Is an example of making an information request using personal information data, and referring to the personal information data of the mobile terminal B on the operation screen of the mobile terminal B, the name, phone number, Display information such as address.
