図2は、鍵管理サーバ、テレビ受像機、及び放送局の動作を説明するフローチャートである。図3は、鍵管理サーバの情報記憶部の内容を示す図である。まず、テレビ受像機2の通信部40は、ブラウザ手段51によって鍵管理サーバ1のホームページにアクセスし、アンケート形式などのガイドに従って、視聴者の個人情報を鍵管理サーバ1に送信する(ステップS11)。つぎに、鍵管理サーバ1の暗号解読キー作成手段21は、個人情報に関して、例えば3つのレベルの暗号解読キー31を作成して、受像機と対応付けて、情報記憶部30に記憶する(図3のキー、L1、L2、L3参照)。例えば、レベル1としては、個人を特定することができないレベルの情報(年令、性別、趣味など)を暗号化し解読できるキー(L1)。レベル2としては、個人を特定する情報であるが、金銭に関係しない情報(氏名、住所、電話番号、Eメールアドレスなど)を暗号化し解読できるキー(L2)。レベル3としては、金銭に関係する情報(銀行口座番号、クレジット番号など)を暗号化し解読できるキー(L3)。そして、暗号化手段22は、テレビ受像機2から受信した個人情報をその受像機に対応した暗号解読キー31によって暗号化する(ステップS12)。通信部10は、暗号化された個人情報をテレビ受像機2に送信する(ステップS13)。テレビ受像機2の情報記憶部60は、鍵管理サーバ1から受信した暗号化個人情報を記憶する(ステップS14)。ここで、視聴者がテレビ受像機2を操作することによって、通信部40はCPU部50に制御されて、A社、B社、C社などの放送局別に所定レベルで個人情報を公開することを許可する信号を鍵管理サーバ1に送信する(ステップS15)。鍵管理サーバ1の通信部10が、テレビ受像機2から許可信号を受信すると、情報記憶部30は、その受像機がその放送局に個人情報を公開するレベルを情報開示許可信号32(L0〜L3)として記憶し、通信部10は、各放送局3に対応する情報開示許可レベルの暗号解読キーをその放送局3に送信する(ステップS16)。ここで、公開を許可しないレベルL0に対してはキーを送信せず、レベルL1の公開に対してはL1のキーを送信し、レベルL2の公開に対してはL1及びL2のキーを送信し、レベルL3の公開に対してはL1〜L3のすべてのキーを送信する。これによって放送局3は公開の各レベルに応じた個人情報を解読することができる。放送局3は、鍵管理サーバ1から受信した暗号解読キー101を情報記憶部100にテレビ受像機2と対応づけて記憶する(ステップS17)。つぎに、テレビ受像機2が放送局3の放送を視聴する際に、双方向テレビ放送の上り回線を使って情報記憶部60に記憶している暗号化個人情報を放送局3に送信すると(ステップS18)、放送局3は、受信した暗号化個人情報を、予め記憶している暗号解読キー101によってそのレベルに応じた範囲で解読して(ステップS19)、解読した個人情報102を情報記憶部100にテレビ受像機2と対応づけて記憶する(ステップS20)。これにより視聴者は逐一自分の個人情報をキー入力せずに予め情報記憶部60に記憶されている暗号化個人情報を送信する操作をするだけで、自分の意図する範囲の個人情報を放送局3に送信することができる。そして、放送局3は、視聴者の意図する範囲で視聴者の個人情報を視聴者と対応づけて取得し、記憶することができる。   FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining operations of the key management server, the television receiver, and the broadcasting station. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating the contents of the information storage unit of the key management server. First, the communication unit 40 of the television receiver 2 accesses the homepage of the key management server 1 by the browser means 51, and transmits the viewer's personal information to the key management server 1 according to a guide such as a questionnaire format (step S11). . Next, the decryption key creation means 21 of the key management server 1 creates, for example, three levels of decryption keys 31 for personal information, and stores them in the information storage unit 30 in association with the receiver (see FIG. 3 keys, see L1, L2, L3). For example, level 1 is a key (L1) that can encrypt and decrypt information (such as age, sex, hobbies, etc.) at a level that cannot identify an individual. Level 2 is information that identifies an individual, but is a key (L2) that can encrypt and decrypt information (name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, etc.) that is not related to money. Level 3 is a key (L3) that can encrypt and decrypt information related to money (bank account number, credit number, etc.). Then, the encryption means 22 encrypts the personal information received from the television receiver 2 with the decryption key 31 corresponding to the receiver (step S12). The communication unit 10 transmits the encrypted personal information to the television receiver 2 (step S13). The information storage unit 60 of the television receiver 2 stores the encrypted personal information received from the key management server 1 (step S14). Here, when the viewer operates the television receiver 2, the communication unit 40 is controlled by the CPU unit 50, and the personal information is disclosed at a predetermined level for each broadcasting station such as the company A, the company B, and the company C. Is transmitted to the key management server 1 (step S15). When the communication unit 10 of the key management server 1 receives the permission signal from the television receiver 2, the information storage unit 30 sets the level at which the receiver opens the personal information to the broadcasting station as the information disclosure permission signal 32 (L0 to L0). L3), and the communication unit 10 transmits to the broadcasting station 3 the decryption key of the information disclosure permission level corresponding to each broadcasting station 3 (step S16). Here, the key is not transmitted to the level L0 that is not permitted to be disclosed, the L1 key is transmitted to the level L1 disclosure, and the L1 and L2 keys are transmitted to the level L2 disclosure. All keys L1 to L3 are transmitted for level L3 disclosure. As a result, the broadcasting station 3 can decipher the personal information corresponding to each public level. The broadcasting station 3 stores the decryption key 101 received from the key management server 1 in the information storage unit 100 in association with the television receiver 2 (step S17). Next, when the television receiver 2 views the broadcast of the broadcast station 3, the encrypted personal information stored in the information storage unit 60 is transmitted to the broadcast station 3 using the uplink of the interactive television broadcast ( In step S18), the broadcast station 3 decrypts the received encrypted personal information within a range corresponding to the level using the decryption key 101 stored in advance (step S19), and stores the decrypted personal information 102 as information. The information is stored in the unit 100 in association with the television receiver 2 (step S20). As a result, the viewer can perform the operation of transmitting the encrypted personal information stored in the information storage unit 60 in advance without keying his / her personal information one by one. 3 can be transmitted. The broadcast station 3 can acquire and store the viewer's personal information in association with the viewer within the range intended by the viewer.

図5は、鍵管理サーバ、クライアント端末、及び企業サーバの動作を説明するフローチャートである。まず、クライアント端末5の通信部240は、ブラウザ手段251によって鍵管理サーバ4のホームページにアクセスし、アンケート形式などのガイドに従って、ユーザの個人情報を鍵管理サーバ4に送信する(ステップS21)。つぎに、鍵管理サーバ4の暗号解読キー作成手段221は、実施例1と同様にして、個人情報に関して、例えば3つのレベルの暗号解読キー231を作成して、クライアント端末5と対応付けて、情報記憶部230に記憶する。そして、暗号化手段222は、クライアント端末5から受信した個人情報をそのクライアント端末に対応した暗号解読キー231によって暗号化する(ステップS22)。通信部210は、暗号化された個人情報をクライアント端末5に送信する(ステップS23)。クライアント端末5の情報記憶部260は、鍵管理サーバ4から受信した暗号化個人情報をクッキー261に記憶する(鍵管理サーバ4からクライアント端末5に暗号化個人情報を送信する際にクッキーの機能を使えば直接クッキー261に記憶することができる。)(ステップS24)。ここで、ユーザがクライアント端末5を操作することによって、通信部240はCPU部250に制御されて、企業サーバ別に所定レベルで個人情報を公開することを許可する信号を鍵管理サーバ4に送信する(ステップS25)。鍵管理サーバ4の通信部210が、クライアント端末5から許可信号を受信すると、情報記憶部230は、そのクライアント端末5がその企業サーバ6に個人情報を公開するレベルを情報開示許可信号232(L0〜L3)として記憶し、通信部210は、各企業サーバ6に対応する情報開示許可レベルの暗号解読キーをその企業サーバ6に送信する(ステップS26)。これによって企業サーバ6は公開の各レベルに応じた個人情報を解読することができる。企業サーバ6は、鍵管理サーバ4から受信した暗号解読キー291を情報記憶部290にクライアント端末5と対応づけて記憶する(ステップS27)。つぎに、クライアント端末5が企業サーバ6のホームページにアクセスして閲覧する際に、クッキーの機能を使ってクッキー261に記憶している暗号化個人情報を企業サーバ6に送信すると(ステップS28)、企業サーバ6は、受信した暗号化個人情報を、予め記憶している暗号解読キー291によってそのレベルに応じた範囲で解読して(ステップS29)、解読した個人情報102を情報記憶部100にクライアント端末5と対応づけて記憶する(ステップS30)。これによりユーザは逐一自分の個人情報をキー入力せずに予めクッキー261に記憶されている暗号化個人情報を送信する操作をするだけで(実際には単にホームページを閲覧する操作をするだけでよい。)、自分の意図する範囲の個人情報を企業サーバ6に送信することができる。そして、企業サーバ6は、ユーザの意図する範囲でユーザの個人情報をユーザと対応づけて取得し、記憶することができる。   FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining operations of the key management server, the client terminal, and the enterprise server. First, the communication unit 240 of the client terminal 5 accesses the homepage of the key management server 4 by the browser unit 251 and transmits the user's personal information to the key management server 4 according to a guide such as a questionnaire format (step S21). Next, the decryption key creation means 221 of the key management server 4 creates, for example, three levels of decryption keys 231 for personal information and associates them with the client terminal 5 in the same manner as in the first embodiment. The information is stored in the information storage unit 230. Then, the encryption unit 222 encrypts the personal information received from the client terminal 5 with the decryption key 231 corresponding to the client terminal (step S22). The communication unit 210 transmits the encrypted personal information to the client terminal 5 (step S23). The information storage unit 260 of the client terminal 5 stores the encrypted personal information received from the key management server 4 in the cookie 261 (the function of the cookie when transmitting the encrypted personal information from the key management server 4 to the client terminal 5). If it is used, it can be directly stored in the cookie 261.) (Step S24). Here, when the user operates the client terminal 5, the communication unit 240 is controlled by the CPU unit 250 and transmits a signal permitting the disclosure of personal information at a predetermined level for each company server to the key management server 4. (Step S25). When the communication unit 210 of the key management server 4 receives the permission signal from the client terminal 5, the information storage unit 230 indicates the level at which the client terminal 5 discloses personal information to the company server 6 as the information disclosure permission signal 232 (L0). ~ L3), and the communication unit 210 transmits the decryption key of the information disclosure permission level corresponding to each company server 6 to the company server 6 (step S26). As a result, the company server 6 can decrypt the personal information corresponding to each level of disclosure. The company server 6 stores the decryption key 291 received from the key management server 4 in association with the client terminal 5 in the information storage unit 290 (step S27). Next, when the client terminal 5 accesses and browses the home page of the company server 6, the encrypted personal information stored in the cookie 261 is transmitted to the company server 6 using the cookie function (step S28). The company server 6 decrypts the received encrypted personal information with a decryption key 291 stored in advance within a range corresponding to the level (step S29), and the decrypted personal information 102 is stored in the information storage unit 100 as a client. It is stored in association with the terminal 5 (step S30). As a result, the user simply performs an operation of transmitting the encrypted personal information stored in the cookie 261 in advance without keying his / her own personal information (actually, the user simply needs to browse the home page). ), Personal information within a range intended by the user can be transmitted to the company server 6. Then, the company server 6 can acquire and store the user's personal information in association with the user within a range intended by the user.
