[Overview of system operation]
In this content management system, for example, when an event such as a birthday party or a home party is held at the home of an event organizer who owns the mobile phone 1, a short-range wireless device installed at the home with respect to the mobile phone 1. The URL information of the management server device serving as the storage location of the communication AP4, still image, moving image, or audio content related to the event, and the strength of security are registered in advance. These pieces of information are stored in the memory 35 of the mobile phone 1.

When the event is held, the event organizer gives the access right to the management server device 5 that stores the content related to the event (= URL information such as a folder in the management server device that stores the content related to the event). The event organizer's mobile phone 2 is notified via the event organizer's mobile phone 1. Each event participant accesses the management server device 5 based on the URL information on the day of the event or on a later day, and uploads content such as a still image captured by himself / herself. The management server device 5 manages the distribution of contents based on device identification information (device ID) such as the mobile phone numbers of the event organizers and event participants' mobile phones 1 and 2, and the mobile phone of the user who participated in the event Only the user can share the content related to the event only by distributing the uploaded content.

[URL information notification operation]
The flow chart of FIG. 3 shows the flow of the operation of notifying the URL information of the management server device 5 from the event organizer's mobile phone 1 to the mobile phone 2 of each event participant. The control unit 37 of the cellular phone 1 of the event organizer starts the processing of this flowchart based on the event processing program stored in the memory 35 by detecting the turning on of the main power supply.

  First, in step S1, the control unit 37 of the event organizer's mobile phone 1 determines whether or not the short-range wireless communication unit 32 is in a driving state. If it is determined that the short-range wireless communication unit 32 is in the drive state, the process proceeds to step S2, and if it is determined that the short-range wireless communication unit 32 is not in the drive state, the process is performed in step S11. Is controlled to the driving state, and the process proceeds to step S2.

  In step S <b> 2, the control unit 37 determines whether or not there is a short-range wireless access point around the mobile phone 1 by performing communication control on the short-range wireless communication unit 32. The fact that the short-range wireless access point does not exist means that short-range wireless communication cannot be performed. Therefore, the control unit 37 advances the process to step S12 and shifts to the normal profile transfer mode. The process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 3 ends.

  On the other hand, when a short-range wireless access point is detected, the control unit 37 attempts to connect a short-range wireless communication line to the detected access point in step S3. In step S4, the access point It is determined whether or not the short-range wireless communication AP 4 is registered for event management.

  In step S4, determining that the detected access point is not the short-range wireless communication AP 4 registered for event management means that the event organizer is in a place other than home. In this case, the control unit 37 proceeds to step S12, shifts to the normal profile transfer mode, and ends the process shown in the flowchart of FIG.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the detected access point is the short-range wireless communication AP 4 registered for event management, it means that the event organizer is at home. In this case, the control unit 37 Advances the processing to step S5, shifts to the “URL supply mode” in which the URL information of the management server device 5 for content management is transferred to the mobile phone 2 of each event participant, and advances the processing to step S6. .

  When the event organizer's mobile phone 1 shifts to the “URL supply mode”, each event participant can receive the URL information of the management server device 5 for content management. In this example, the event organizer's mobile phone 1 transmits the URL information to the event participant's mobile phone 2 via contactless wireless communication. Therefore, when the event organizer's mobile phone 1 shifts to the “URL supply mode”, the physical distance between the event organizer's mobile phone 1 and the event participant's mobile phone 2 is short. Until the wireless communication is possible, the “URL supply mode” remains in the standby state.

  In step S6, the control unit 37 of the event organizer's mobile phone 1 determines whether or not a non-contact wireless communication request has been made by bringing the event participant's mobile phone 2 closer. Then, the process proceeds to step S7 when the non-contact wireless communication request from the mobile phone 2 of the event participant is detected, and the mobile phone of the mobile phone 2 from the mobile phone 2 of the event participant by this non-contact wireless communication. A device ID such as a number is acquired, and the process proceeds to step S8.

  Here, in the URL distribution management table 36 shown in FIG. 2, the mobile phone number of the mobile phone to which the URL information of the management server device 5 has been distributed is registered. For this reason, when the process proceeds to step S8, the control unit 37 refers to the URL distribution management table 36 based on the mobile phone number of the event participant acquired in step S7. On the other hand, it is determined whether or not the URL information of the management server device 5 has already been distributed. When it is determined that the URL information of the management server device 5 has already been distributed (= when the same phone number as the acquired mobile phone number is registered in the URL distribution management table 36), the URL information is Since there is no need to duplicately distribute, the processing shown in the flowchart of FIG.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the URL information of the management server device 5 is not distributed (= when the mobile phone number acquired in the URL distribution management table 36 is not registered), the control unit 37 performs step S9. The URL information of the management server device 5 including the MAC address (MAC: Media Access Control address) of the short-range wireless communication AP 4 is sent to the cellular phone 2 of the event participant, and the contactless wireless communication unit 34 To the mobile phone 2 of the event participant. If necessary, a password is set (or issued) in step S9.

In step S 10, the control unit 37 registers the transmission time of the URL information measured by the timer 30 in the URL distribution management table 36 together with the mobile phone number of the event participant who transmitted the URL information of the management server device 5. Then, the process of the flowchart of FIG. If a password is set (or issued) in step S9, this password is also registered in the URL distribution management table 36 together with the mobile phone number of the event participant.

[Device registration operation for the management server]
Next, in order to share content between the event organizer and the event participant, it is necessary to register device information such as the mobile phone number of the mobile phone 2 of each event participant in the management server device 5. As described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 3, when the event organizer takes in a mobile phone number from the mobile phone 2 of each event participant, the event organizer registers the mobile phone number in the management server device 11 together with the URL information. Accordingly, each event participant can access the management server device 5 via the short-range wireless communication unit 34 of the mobile phone 2 and upload and download content related to the event. The flow chart of FIG. 4 shows an operation flow in which the event organizer's mobile phone 1 registers the device of the event participant's mobile phone 2 with the management server device 5. The control unit 37 of the cellular phone 1 of the event organizer starts the processing of this flowchart based on the event processing program stored in the memory 35 by detecting the turning on of the main power supply.

  First, in step S21, the control unit 37 of the event organizer's mobile phone 1 determines whether or not the short-range wireless communication unit 32 is in a driving state. If it is determined that the short-range wireless communication unit 32 is in the driving state, the process proceeds to step S22. If it is determined that the short-range wireless communication unit 32 is not in the driving state, the process is performed in step S27. Is controlled in the driving state, and the process proceeds to step S22.

  In step S <b> 22, the control unit 37 performs communication control of the short-range wireless communication unit 32 to determine whether there is a short-range wireless access point around the mobile phone 1. The fact that there is no short-range wireless access point means that short-range wireless communication cannot be performed, and therefore the control unit 37 ends the processing shown in the flowchart of FIG.

  On the other hand, when a short-range wireless access point is detected, the control unit 37 connects the short-range wireless communication line to the detected access point in step S23, and in step S24, the short-range wireless communication AP4. The access point determines whether or not the access point is a short-range wireless communication AP 4 registered for event management.

  In step S24, determining that the detected access point is not the short-range wireless communication AP 4 registered for event management means that the event organizer is in a place other than home, and each event participant's mobile phone Since this means that device registration of the telephone 2 cannot be performed, the control unit 37 ends the processing shown in the flowchart of FIG.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the detected access point is the short-range wireless communication AP 4 registered for event management, it means that the event organizer is at home. Proceeding to step S25, a short-range wireless communication line is established with the management server device 5 via the short-range wireless communication AP4 and the home network 3, and the process proceeds to step S26.

In step S26, the control unit 37 sets the mobile phone number, URL information, and URL information transmission time of the mobile phone 2 of each event participant registered in the URL distribution management table 36 to the short distance wireless communication unit. The short-distance wireless transmission is performed to the management server device 5 via 32, and the processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. When a password is set (or issued) for the mobile phone 2 of each event participant, the password registered in the URL distribution management table 36 is also registered with the mobile phone number and the management server device 5. To short-range wireless transmission.

[Content distribution management]
Next, the control unit 12 of the management server device 5 controls the memory 11 to store each piece of information transmitted from the event organizer's mobile phone 1 in a short-range wireless manner. In addition, the management server device 5 is configured to, for example, 2 hours before and after the transmission time based on the transmission time information of the URL information wirelessly transmitted from the event organizer's mobile phone 1 to each event participant's mobile phone 2. The access right to the contents such as is set. Specifically, the time when the URL information was transmitted from the event organizer's mobile phone 1 to the event participant's mobile phone 2 was 7:00 pm on June 1, 2007 The control unit 12 of the management server device 5 sets 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm on June 1, 2007 as the access right to the content.

The management server device 5 recognizes the time information set as the access right as the time when the event was held, and manages the content having the time information within the event holding time as the content related to the event. It has become. In addition, when an access is made based on URL information including transmission time information within the event holding time, the management server device 5 recognizes this access as an access from an event participant, and uploads or downloads content. It comes to manage.

(Upload content)
Specifically, for example, when an event participant uploads a still image or a moving image captured at the time of the event using the camera function of his / her mobile phone 2 to the management server device 5, the event participant first organizes the event Based on the URL information transmitted from the person's mobile phone 1, the management server device 5 is accessed via the short-range wireless communication unit 32 on the day of the event or on a later day, and the mobile phone number of the mobile phone 2 is notified.

  The control unit 12 of the management server device 5 transmits the mobile phone number notified from the mobile phone 2 of the event participant at the time of the access and the event participation registered in the memory 11 by the mobile phone 1 of the event organizer at the time of device registration. By comparing the user's mobile phone number, it is determined whether or not the currently accessed user is an event participant.

  The fact that the mobile phone number notified at the time of access is not registered in the memory 11 in advance means that it is not an access from an event participant, so the control unit 12 of the management server device 5 To refuse. On the other hand, since the fact that the mobile phone number notified at the time of access is registered in the memory 11 in advance means that the access is from an event participant, the control unit of the management server device 5 12 permits the access.

Next, when access is permitted, the event participant transmits the still image content and the moving image content stored in the mobile phone 2 to the server device 5 via the short-range wireless communication unit 32. Imaging time information is added to the still image content and the moving image content by the control unit 37 at the time of imaging. Therefore, the control unit 12 of the server device 5 determines whether or not the imaging time of the still image content or the moving image content received from the event participant's mobile phone 2 is within the event holding time set as the access right. Is determined. If it is determined that the imaging time is not within the event holding time, it means that the content is an upload from the event participant but is not related to the event. Rejects uploading of the still image content and moving image content. On the other hand, if it is determined that the imaging time is within the event holding time, it means that the access is from an event participant and the content related to the event is uploaded. The control unit 12 of the apparatus 5 stores the uploaded still image content and moving image content in the memory 11. This makes it possible to manage content uploading only for users who have participated in the event and content related to the event.

(Content download)
Next, when downloading the content uploaded in this way, the event participant uses the short distance wireless communication unit 32 on the day of the event or on the day after the event based on the URL information transmitted from the mobile phone 1 of the event organizer. The management server device 5 is accessed.

  The control unit 12 of the management server device 5 determines whether or not the mobile phone number notified from the mobile phone 2 of the event participant at the time of access is pre-registered in the memory 11, so that the current access is It is determined whether the access is from an event participant. If it is determined that the mobile phone number notified from the mobile phone 2 of the event participant is not pre-registered in the memory 11, it means that the current access is not an access from the event participant. The control unit 12 of the server device 5 denies the access.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the mobile phone number notified from the event participant's mobile phone 2 is pre-registered in the memory 11, it means that the current access is from the event participant. Therefore, the control unit 12 of the management server device 5 permits downloading of still image content and moving image content having an imaging time within the event holding time set as the access right among the content uploaded to the memory 11. . Thereby, the download of content can be managed only for the user who participated in the event and only the content related to the event.

(Automatic registration of metadata for schedule book)
Here, when the control unit 37 of each of the mobile phones 1 and 2 accesses the management server device 5 at the time of uploading or downloading content, the control server device 5 receives the “event name” and “event location” from the management server device 5. , “Event date and time” and “event participant” metadata can be obtained. When the control unit 37 of each of the mobile phones 1 and 2 obtains each of these metadata, it automatically registers each metadata of the event in the corresponding date column of the schedule book stored in the memory 35. Thereby, metadata of past events is written in the schedule book, and browsing of past experiences can be made possible.
