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.
