Description

  The present invention relates to an information exchange system.

  Currently, business cards are being exchanged as a way to introduce personal information to first-time meeting partners in business and private settings.

  However, such business cards are generally made of paper and are about 5.5 cm long and 9.0 cm wide, and will increase unless discarded. Therefore, the recipient of the business card needs storage space as the number of business cards increases, and the risk of losing the business card increases. Further, such a business card increases the effort to find a desired business card as the number of possessed cards increases.

  On the other hand, such a business card is usually carried in a wallet or a business card holder on the side of the business card delivery person.

  However, since the number of business cards that can be stored in a wallet or business card holder is limited, there is a risk that business cards will be insufficient when necessary. In addition, since the business card is usually made of paper, the contents of the business card cannot be freely updated when the address or title of the person is changed after the business card is created. As a result, a large number of business cards that cannot be used in accordance with the current situation are generated, resulting in a cost loss and an increase in environmental addition. Furthermore, such a business card may be confused if the recipient's address is changed after receiving the business card.

  In order to solve such a problem, various personal information exchange systems have been proposed at present. For example, (1) a business card information providing system (see JP-A-2009-64371), (2) a cooperation system between a mobile phone and a card with a tag (see JP-A-2005-167803), etc.

  However, in the business card information providing system (1), a paper business card and a two-dimensional code have to be created on the deliverer side, which takes time to create the business card and reduces the business card storage space on the recipient side. It is not necessarily effective. In addition, the business card information providing system (1) requires a personal computer on both the delivery side and the recipient side, so that it cannot be easily used by many people. Furthermore, in the business card information providing system of (1), since the business card recipient manages the business card information using a paper business card and a personal computer screen, it is compared with the conventional management of only a paper business card. On the other hand, there is a risk that management will take time.

  Since the cooperation system between the mobile phone and the card with the tag (2) uses a conventional paper business card with an RFID tag attached thereto, the cost required for each business card increases significantly. Moreover, since the cooperation system of (2) uses an RFID tag in addition to a conventional paper business card, the effect of reducing the storage space for the business card cannot be obtained, and the storage space may be increased.

  In this way, the personal information exchange system such as business cards saves storage space on the recipient side, does not require much time for searching, and if the address of the delivery person changes, the contents after the change are reflected. It is hoped that will be done. In addition, the deliverer can easily carry it without worrying about the quantity on hand, and if the information on the business card does not reflect the current situation, the description can be changed afterwards. Is desired. However, there is currently no personal information exchange system having such a function.

JP 2009-64371 A JP 2005-167803 A

  The present invention has been made in view of these inconveniences, and for the recipient of information, the storage space required in the conventional paper business card is unnecessary and the search function is excellent. The purpose of the information delivery system is to provide an information providing system that can be easily modified afterwards without fear of business card shortage.

Thereby, the ID of the portable reader / writer newly possessed can be easily registered as a parent ID paired with a non-contact IC chip ID already registered as a parent. As a result, the information exchange system can easily transmit its own profile information to other users by newly possessing the portable reader / writer 3.

  When the server receives a reader / writer ID registered in a pair as a parent ID and a non-contact IC chip ID, a fifth home page display for displaying a home page screen on a portable terminal having the non-contact IC chip ID And a third log-in means for receiving registration information transmitted from the homepage screen and permitting use from the portable terminal. As a result, if you have a portable reader / writer with a parent ID and a portable terminal with a non-contact IC chip with a parent ID, you can view the homepage screen and the profile management screen displayed through it anytime can do. As a result, the information exchange system can view the sender's profile information at any time from the profile management screen, and can further improve convenience.

  The server may include sixth homepage display means for displaying the homepage screen by using a URL unique to the homepage screen as a bookmark. Thereby, even the user who does not hold | maintain the portable reader / writer which has parent ID can use the said information exchange system easily. As a result, the information exchange system can further increase the number of users, and can increase the spread.

  The server may have information changing means for updating and overwriting profile information due to input and transmission operations on the profile registration screen. This makes it possible to easily update this information even when the registered content at the time of profile exchange does not match the current status of the profile sender.
