(Step S139) The article search result is displayed on the portable terminal 4 from the content distribution site 1 (Step S140).

  On the other hand, when the article is confirmed by the user (step S141), the content distribution site 1 requests the content management unit 22 to confirm the article and policy (step S142), and whether the article ID is valid. If it is confirmed whether or not the authenticated user ID matches the policy, “OK” is returned (step S143). Then, the content distribution site 1 requests the user management unit 23 to add an article (step S144), and when it is registered normally, “OK” is returned (step S145). Is notified of the completion of registration (step S146).

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of processing in the content distribution site 1 and the scrap management system 2 in the above processing. Transmission of screen information from the portable terminal 4 to the content distribution site 1 (step S151) is registered in the database. Identification of article by matching with article image (step S152), validity determination of article ID and confirmation of policy (step S153), association of user ID and article ID, and provision of user policy against content policy (step) S154) is performed sequentially. If a negative result is obtained in the validity determination of the article ID and the policy confirmation (step S153), an error display (step S155) is performed.

  FIG. 10 is a sequence diagram showing an example of processing in the case where a scrap target registration instruction is given while browsing articles on the content distribution site 1. In FIG. 10, the user accesses the content distribution site 1 from a terminal such as the portable terminal 4 or the scrap management system compatible terminal 5 (step S161), and selects an article to be scrapped (step S162). FIG. 11A shows an example of an article being browsed, and an article is selected by clicking a hot text such as “scrap this article” displayed at the bottom.

  Next, returning to FIG. 10, a user authentication screen is displayed from the content distribution site 1 to the terminals 4 and 5 (step S163), and the user inputs a user ID and a password (step S164). FIG. 11B shows an example of a user authentication screen. Input information is transmitted to the user management unit 23 by inputting an ID and a password and selecting “OK”.

  Next, returning to FIG. 10, when it is confirmed that the user is a registered user, “OK” is returned from the user management unit 23 to the content distribution site 1 (step S165). Next, the content distribution site 1 requests the content management unit 22 to confirm the article and policy (step S166), and confirms whether the article ID is valid and whether the authenticated user ID matches the policy. Then, “OK” is returned (step S167).

  Then, the content distribution site 1 requests the user management unit 23 to add an article (step S168), and when registered normally, “OK” is returned (step S169). 5 is notified of the completion of registration (step S170). FIG. 11C shows an example of a screen that informs registration completion.

  Next, FIG. 12 is a sequence diagram showing an example of processing for editing / printing a registered article. In FIG. 12, when the user holds the IC card over the display unit 51 of the scrap management system compatible terminal 5 (step S201), user authentication and article list acquisition are performed from the display unit 51 to the user management unit 23 of the scrap management system 2. When requested (step S202) and user authentication is normally performed, a list of articles of the user is returned (step S203). FIG. 13A shows an example of a user authentication screen.

  Next, returning to FIG. 12, the user selects an article from the article list on the display unit 51 (step S204). FIG. 13B shows an example of an article list (scrap list) for each user. Returning to FIG. 12, when an article is selected, a policy is requested from the display unit 51 to the user management unit 23 (step S205), and the policy is returned (step S206). Next, a request for article content is made from the display unit 51 to the content management unit 22 (step S207), and the article content is returned (step S208). FIG. 13C shows an example of article content.

  Returning to FIG. 12, when the user instructs the display unit 51 to edit (step S209), the display unit 51 confirms the policy to the user management unit 23 (step S210), and the confirmation is performed normally. And “OK” are returned (step S211), and editing is permitted. FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of article editing. As shown in FIG. 14A, a formatting mode in which a title part and a body part are analyzed and automatically shaped based on article information, as shown in FIG. The user can select a cut-and-paste mode that can be freely arranged.

  On the other hand, returning to FIG. 12, when the user instructs the display unit 51 to perform printing (step S212), this is transmitted to the printing unit 53 (step S213), and the policy is confirmed from the printing unit 53 to the user management unit 23. When the confirmation is performed normally, “OK” is returned (step S215), and printing is performed (step S216).

  In this manner, the user can perform scraping in the state of electronic content by selecting an article to be scrapped from a portable terminal or the like and performing editing / printing. In addition, since a preset policy is taken into account when registering, editing, and printing a scrap target, misuse is prevented.
