<First Embodiment>
[Configuration of assistant management system S]
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of an assistant management system S according to the first embodiment. The assistant management system S includes an assistant management device 1 connected to the network N and a plurality of customer terminals 2 (customer terminals 2-1, customer terminals 2-2,..., Customer terminals 2-m, where m is A plurality of assistant terminals 3 (first assistant terminal 3-1, second assistant terminal 3-2,..., Assistant terminal 3-n, where n is an integer of 3 or more), Is provided.

  The network N is, for example, the Internet or a dedicated communication line. The assistant management device 1 includes a server and a storage device, and provides an SNS environment in which a customer using the customer terminal 2 and an assistant using the assistant terminal 3 can exchange messages with each other. Specifically, the assistant management device 1 manages the customer of the customer terminal 2 and the assistant that the customer of the customer terminal 2 transmits and receives messages.

  Here, the assistant using the assistant terminal 3 assists a sales person in the company using the assistant management system S, and sends and receives messages to and from the customer in order to establish a trust relationship with the customer instead of the sales person. By using the assistant terminal 3, the assistant can also send and receive messages with the sales staff via the network N.

  A customer who uses the customer terminal 2 is registered in advance in the assistant management device 1 so that the assistant management system S can be used. For example, the customer of the customer terminal 2 can send / receive a message to / from another customer or send / receive a message to an assistant by inputting a login ID and password assigned in advance on a predetermined website. . It is also possible to post a message without specifying a destination.

[Configuration of Assistant Management Device 1 and Customer Terminal 2]
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating configurations of the assistant management device 1, the customer terminal 2, and the assistant terminal 3. The assistant management device 1 is a server and includes a storage unit 11, a control unit 12, and a device communication unit 13. The customer terminal 2 is a computer or a mobile terminal, and includes an operation reception unit 21, a display unit 22, and a terminal communication unit 23. The assistant terminal 3 is a computer or a mobile terminal, and includes an operation reception unit 31, a display unit 32, and a terminal communication unit 33.

First, details of the configuration of the assistant management device 1 will be described.
The storage unit 11 is a storage medium that stores data such as a hard disk or an SSD (solid state drive). The storage unit 11 stores a program for operating the control unit 12 and various data used by the control unit 12. The storage unit 11 stores, for example, customer attributes such as the name, sex, age, birthplace, occupation, and hobbies of customers who can use the assistant management system S. The storage unit 11 also stores attributes of the first assistant candidate who transmits and receives messages with the customer.

FIG. 3 is an example of a customer attribute table stored in the storage unit 11. The storage unit 11 may store a login name and a password in association with each customer.
FIG. 4 is an example of an assistant attribute table stored in the storage unit 11. The storage unit 11 stores the ID, name (handle name), gender, age, birthplace, hobbies, and other attributes as assistant identification information, the file name of each assistant profile photo image, and the file name of the self-introduction sentence. The associated assistant attribute table is stored.

  The control unit 12 is configured by a CPU, for example. The control unit 12 performs overall control of the assistant management device 1 by executing a program stored in the storage unit 11. The control unit 12 includes a management unit 121, an attribute estimation unit 122, a determination unit 123, and a display control unit 124.

  The device communication unit 13 is a LAN interface, for example, and receives messages transmitted from the customer terminal 2 and the assistant terminal 3 via the network N. Further, the device communication unit 13 transmits a message to be transmitted to the customer terminal 2 and the assistant terminal 3 via the network N.

The management unit 121 manages customer attributes. Specifically, the management unit 121 causes the storage unit 11 to store the customer attribute table illustrated in FIG. 3 in which the customer attribute acquired from the attribute estimation unit 122 is associated with the customer name.
In addition, the management unit 121 manages the attributes of the first assistant candidate who transmits and receives messages with the customer. Specifically, the management unit 121 acquires the attribute of the candidate for the first assistant from the assistant terminal 3, and stores the assistant attribute table illustrated in FIG. 4 in which the acquired attribute is associated with the first assistant in the storage unit 11. Remember me.

  The attribute estimation unit 122 acquires predetermined attributes such as a name, sex, age, birthplace, occupation, and the like input by the customer at the customer terminal 2 via the device communication unit 13. The attribute estimation unit 122 outputs the acquired attribute to the management unit 121. Moreover, the attribute estimation part 122 estimates a customer's attribute based on the message which the apparatus communication part 13 received. Specifically, in addition to predetermined attributes such as name, gender, age, birthplace, occupation, etc. entered by the customer, the customer's hobbies, preferences and personality are based on the content of the message sent from the customer terminal 2. And other attributes. The attribute estimation unit 122 may estimate the attribute based on the content of the message sent by the customer to another customer or the first assistant, and the attribute is estimated based on the content of the message posted by the customer without specifying the destination. It may be estimated.

  The attribute estimation unit 122 extracts, for example, a predetermined keyword that can be used for estimation of customer hobbies and preferences from the received message. When the specific keyword is extracted from the received message, the attribute estimation unit 122 determines that the customer is interested in the specified keyword. The attribute estimation unit 122 stores a plurality of keywords in association with the attribute type, and when the number of times the keyword included in the specific attribute type is extracted exceeds a predetermined number, the attribute corresponding to the extracted keyword Is estimated as one of the customer attributes.

  FIG. 5 is a keyword table used for attribute estimation. The keyword table is stored in the storage unit 11, for example. The attribute estimation unit 122 is registered in advance as a keyword indicating a customer's hobbies, for attribute types such as place names, painter names, song names, singer names, sports names, sports team names, restaurant names, and the like. The included keywords are extracted from the received message. For example, the attribute estimation unit 122 has seen an impressionist exhibition at a museum in Ueno sent by “Taro Tanaka” who is a customer included in the customer attribute table shown in FIG. 3. Impressed by seeing pictures of Renoir and Van Gogh. The keywords “Ueno”, “Museum”, “Impressionist”, “Renoir”, “Goch” and “Picture” are extracted from the message “I did it”.

  The attribute estimation unit 122 refers to the keyword table shown in FIG. 5 and estimates to which attribute type the extracted keyword belongs. In the above example, the attribute estimating unit 122 includes the keywords “art museum”, “impressionist”, “Renoir”, “Goch”, “picture” in the attribute type “art”, so that “Taro Tanaka” Estimated that you are interested in. In addition, since the keywords “impressionist”, “renoir”, and “gogh” are included in the sub-attribute type of “impressionist”, the attribute estimation unit 122 indicates that “Taro Tanaka” is particularly interested in impressionism in art presume. The attribute estimation unit 122 outputs the estimated attribute type and sub-attribute type to the management unit 121.

  The determination unit 123 determines the priority order of the plurality of first assistant candidates based on the customer attributes and the attributes of the plurality of first assistant candidates. Specifically, the determination unit 123 first reads a customer attribute table and an assistant attribute table from the storage unit 11. Subsequently, the determination unit 123 calculates the degree of correlation between the customer attribute corresponding to the customer terminal 2 that transmitted the assistant selection request and the attribute of each first assistant.

  For example, the determination unit 123 calculates the number of keywords included in each first assistant attribute among the keywords indicating the customer attributes included in the customer attribute table as the degree of correlation. Subsequently, the determination unit 123 extracts the first assistant having a degree of correlation larger than a predetermined value as the first assistant candidate, and rearranges the plurality of extracted first assistant candidates in descending order of the degree of correlation. Determine the priority of one assistant candidate.

  For example, when receiving an assistant request message for requesting an assistant from the customer terminal 2, the determination unit 123 determines the priority order of the first assistant candidates. For example, when the customer terminal 2 that transmitted the assistant request message is the customer terminal 2-1 of “Taro Tanaka”, the determination unit 123 determines the attribute of “Taro Tanaka” in the customer attribute table shown in FIG. Based on the degree of correlation with the attributes of the plurality of first assistant candidates shown in FIG. 4, a first assistant candidate having a degree of correlation larger than a predetermined value is extracted.

  Specifically, among the first assistant candidates shown in FIG. 4, “Narumi” is correlated with “Taro Tanaka” because the three attributes of age group, hometown, and hobby match “Taro Tanaka”. The degree is the largest. Among the first assistant candidates, “Kaori” has the second highest degree of correlation with “Taro Tanaka” because the two attributes of age group and hobby match “Taro Tanaka”. In this way, the determination unit 123 selects “Narumi”, “Kaori”, “Natsuko”, and “Keiko” as the first assistant candidates, and sets this order as the priority order.

  The display control unit 124 causes the customer terminal to display the attributes of at least some of the first assistant candidates among the plurality of first assistant candidates based on the priority order determined by the determination unit 123. Specifically, the display control unit 124 sends information indicating the priority order of the first assistant candidate to the customer terminal 2 via the device communication unit 13 together with the attribute information of the first assistant candidate, the profile image, and the self-introduction sentence. Send. The customer terminal 2 displays a screen for selecting an assistant based on the information transmitted by the display control unit 124.

Then, the structure of the customer terminal 2 and the assistant terminal 3 is demonstrated.
The operation reception unit 21 is, for example, a keyboard or a touch panel, and receives customer operations. The customer inputs a message via the operation reception unit 21. The display unit 22 is a display and displays information to be shown to the customer. The terminal communication unit 23 is a LAN interface.

  The operation reception unit 31 is, for example, a keyboard or a touch panel, and receives an assistant operation. The assistant inputs a message via the operation reception unit 31. The display unit 32 is a display and displays information to be shown to the assistant. The terminal communication unit 33 is a LAN interface.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a screen for selecting an assistant displayed on the display unit 22 when the terminal communication unit 23 receives information indicating the priority order of the first assistant candidate transmitted by the display control unit 124. It is. In FIG. 6, face photos, profiles, and self-introduction sentences of the first assistant candidates “Narumi”, “Kaori”, “Natsuko”, “Keiko” determined by the determination unit 123 are displayed according to the priority order. . The customer can select an assistant to send and receive messages by clicking the “Select” button.

[Operation sequence]
FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an operation sequence of the assistant management device 1 and the customer terminal 2.
First, when the customer A performs an operation of inputting and posting a message at the customer terminal 2 (S1), the customer terminal 2 transmits the message to the assistant management device 1 (S2). The assistant management device 1 stores the received message in the storage unit 11 (S3).

  Subsequently, when the customer A performs an operation for searching for an assistant at the customer terminal 2 (S4), the customer terminal 2 transmits an assistant request message to the assistant management device 1 (S5). When the assistant management device 1 receives the assistant request message, the attribute estimation unit 122 extracts a predetermined keyword used for estimation of the customer attribute from the messages posted by the customer A stored in the storage unit 11 in the past. Thus, the attribute of the customer A is estimated (S6). Note that the attribute estimation unit 122 may estimate each customer's attribute in advance before making an assistant request message.

  Subsequently, the determination unit 123 extracts a plurality of first assistant candidates having a high degree of correlation based on the customer attributes estimated by the attribute estimation unit 122 and the attributes of the first assistant stored in the storage unit 11. Then, priorities of the extracted first assistant candidates are determined (S7). Subsequently, the display control unit 124 transmits the profile of the first assistant candidate determined by the determination unit 123 to the customer terminal 2 (S8).

  In the customer terminal 2, when the customer A selects a desired first assistant from the displayed first assistant candidates (S9), the terminal communication unit 23 selects selection information including information for specifying the selected first assistant. It transmits to the assistant management apparatus 1 (S11).

  When the device communication unit 13 receives selection information indicating the first assistant selected by the customer A from the plurality of first assistant candidates from the customer terminal, the management unit 121 associates the customer A with the first assistant and stores the information. 11 (S11).

  When the device communication unit 13 receives selection information indicating the first assistant selected by the customer A from the plurality of first assistant candidates from the terminal of the customer A, the device communication unit 13 indicates that the customer A has selected the first assistant. Is transmitted to the first assistant terminal 3-1. The first assistant terminal 3-1 displays that the first assistant has been selected by the customer A, and the first assistant recognizes that he has been selected by the customer A. Can be sent and received.

  In the above description, the attribute estimation unit 122 estimates the customer attribute based on the keyword included in the message. However, the attribute estimation unit 122 can also estimate the customer attribute based on other information. For example, the attribute estimation unit 122 may estimate the customer attribute based on the attribute of another customer to whom the customer is a message. Specifically, since the degree of correlation between the attribute of the customer who sent the message and the attribute of the customer who is the message destination is considered to be relatively large, the attribute estimation unit 122 It may be estimated that the attribute type included in the attribute also has the customer who sent the message.

  Moreover, the attribute estimation part 122 may change the keyword used for estimation based on the attribute of the customer of the message transmission destination, and may change the weighting at the time of extracting a keyword. In general, since the true intention tends to appear in the message transmitted to the same sex person than the message transmitted to the opposite sex person, the attribute estimation unit 122 is transmitted to the same sex person. The weight of the number of keywords included in the message may be set larger than the weight of the number of keywords included in the message transmitted to the opposite person, and the customer attribute may be estimated.

[Effect in the first embodiment]
As described above, according to the assistant management system S according to the first embodiment, the assistant management device 1 estimates the customer attributes based on the message transmitted by the customer, and the customer and the message based on the estimated attributes. The priority order of the first assistant candidate who transmits / receives is determined. Therefore, the first assistant candidate can be determined using attributes such as customer's hobbies, preferences, and personalities that cannot be grasped only by general attributes such as birthplace and occupation registered in advance by the customer. This makes it easier for customers to select assistants that can improve their level of experience.

  Thus, by using the assistant management system S, it becomes easy to build a trust relationship with the customer through the assistant that can increase the satisfaction of the customer. Therefore, instead of having the sales representative visit the customer, the company can improve the sales efficiency by building a trusting relationship with the customer through the assistant.

  Specifically, the sales representative and the assistant selected by the customer cooperate to allow the assistant to send a message that is positive for the sales representative's sales activities. For example, if it is an assistant of a sales person in charge of a securities company, customer sound satisfaction can be enhanced by transmitting a message that energizes the customer's feelings so that the customer can enjoy buying and selling stocks like a game. In addition, when a customer makes a loss due to a fall in stock, the degree of dissatisfaction with the sales staff can be reduced by sending a message of encouragement.

<Second Embodiment>
FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating configurations of the assistant management device 1, the customer terminal 2, and the assistant terminal 3 according to the second embodiment. The assistant management device 1 shown in FIG. 8 is the same as the assistant management device 1 shown in FIG.

  The management unit 121 further manages attributes of a plurality of second assistant candidates that are candidates for a second assistant who transmits and receives messages to and from the customer together with the plurality of first assistant candidates. The determination unit 123 determines a plurality of second assistant candidates based on the attributes of the customers and the attributes of a plurality of second assistant candidates that are candidates for the second assistant who transmits and receives messages to and from the customer together with the plurality of first assistant candidates. To select at least one second assistant.

  The second assistant has a role of assisting the first assistant. The first assistant is likely to be compatible with the customer, but may have poor knowledge of the field in which the customer is interested. In such a case, a second assistant having knowledge that the first assistant does not have transmits and receives a message with the customer as a substitute for the first assistant.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a second assistant attribute table showing attributes of the second assistant candidate. The second assistant attribute table includes attributes such as ID, sex, age, birthplace, hobby, etc., which are identification information of the second assistant, and these information are stored in the storage unit 11.

  When the device communication unit 13 receives a message transmitted from the second assistant to the customer, the conversion unit 125 converts the message into a message including information (for example, a handle name) indicating that the first assistant has created. The device communication unit 13 transmits the message after conversion by the conversion unit to the customer.

  That is, the message transmitted to the customer by the second assistant is not transmitted as it is, but is transmitted to the customer as a message created by the first assistant in the conversion unit 125. By doing so, the customer recognizes that the message transmitted from the second assistant is transmitted from the first assistant. Therefore, even if the first assistant cannot reply to the message, the customer feels that the reply has been received from the first assistant, so that the customer's satisfaction with the first assistant can be increased.

  For example, the determination unit 123 selects the second assistant from the second assistant candidates whose correlation degree between the customer attribute and the second assistant candidate attribute is larger than a predetermined value. In order for the first assistant and the second assistant to cooperate with each other to increase customer satisfaction, the determination unit 123 further includes a plurality of attributes based on the relationship between the attributes of the first assistant and the attributes of the plurality of second assistant candidates. The second assistant may be selected from the second assistant candidates.

  Specifically, the determination unit 123 determines that at least some of the attributes that affect the style of the message match the first assistant, and at least some of the attributes related to knowledge do not match the first assistant. Select the second assistant. The determination unit 123 has a large degree of correlation of attributes such as age and gender that affect the style of the message among the second assistant candidates, and attributes such as occupations and hobbies related to knowledge. A second assistant candidate having a small correlation degree is preferentially selected. By doing in this way, the determination part 123 can create the message of the same style as the 1st assistant, and can select the 2nd assistant which can supplement the knowledge of a 1st assistant.

The management unit 121 stores the second assistant selected by the determination unit 123 in this manner in the storage unit 11 in association with the first assistant.
FIG. 10 is a correspondence table of customer names, first assistant IDs, and second assistant IDs. In FIG. 10, one first assistant and one second assistant are assigned to each customer, but a plurality of names are assigned to one customer and one first assistant. The second assistant may be assigned. One first assistant and one second assistant may be assigned to a plurality of customers. One second assistant may be assigned to a plurality of first assistants.

  Thus, even if one second assistant is assigned to a plurality of first assistants, the message sent by the second assistant includes the handle of the first assistant from which the customer sent the message. It is required to be correctly converted into a message. Therefore, when there are a plurality of first assistants associated with the second assistant, the conversion unit 125 identifies the first assistant that is the destination of the message transmitted by the customer, and identifies the message transmitted by the second assistant. Convert to a message containing the handle name of the first assistant.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an operation sequence in the assistant management system S according to the second embodiment. When the customer creates a message addressed to the first assistant at the customer terminal 2-1, the customer terminal 2-1 transmits the message to the assistant management device 1 (S21). When the assistant management device 1 recognizes that the received message is addressed to the first assistant, the assistant management device 1 transmits the received message to the first assistant terminal 3-1 used by the first assistant and the second assistant used by the second assistant. Also transmitted to the assistant terminal 3-2. When the first assistant who has received the message can reply to the message, a reply message is transmitted from the first assistant terminal 3-1 (S22). Upon receiving the reply message, the assistant management device 1 transmits the message to the customer terminal 2-1, and also transmits the message to the second assistant terminal 3-2.

  Subsequently, when a new message addressed to the first assistant is transmitted from the customer terminal 2-1 (S 23), the assistant management device 1 sends the received message to the first assistant terminal 3-1 and the second assistant terminal 3. -2. If the content of the message transmitted from the first assistant terminal 3-1 is not the field in which the first assistant is good, the first assistant asks the second assistant and the second assistant transmits the message (S24). .

  When the assistant management device 1 receives the message addressed to the customer from the second assistant terminal 3-2, the assistant management device 1 refers to the correspondence table shown in FIG. 10 and sets the handle name included in the message to the second assistant corresponding to the second assistant. After converting to the handle name of one assistant (S25), the converted message is transmitted to the customer terminal 2-1. The assistant management device 1 also transmits the converted message to the first assistant terminal 3-1.

  Here, even if the assistant management device 1 transmits a message received from the customer terminal 2-1 to the first assistant terminal 3-1 and the second assistant terminal 3-2 and a predetermined time has elapsed, the first assistant When a reply message is not transmitted from the terminal 3-1, a reply request message for requesting transmission of a reply message may be transmitted to the second assistant terminal 3-2. By doing so, even if the first assistant cannot immediately reply to the message, the second assistant can send a message instead of the first assistant, so that customer satisfaction is increased.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating another example of an operation sequence in the assistant management system S according to the second embodiment. In FIG. 12, when the content of the message transmitted from the customer terminal 2-1 relates to a field that the first assistant is not good at, the first assistant who has received the message requests proxy transmission by the second assistant. A help request operation is performed (S32). When the help request operation is performed, the first assistant terminal 3-1 transmits a help request to the assistant management device 1, and the assistant management device 1 transmits a reply message to the second assistant terminal 3-2. Send the requested reply request message.

  When the second assistant terminal 3-2 receives the reply request message, the second assistant terminal 3-2 displays a message prompting the second assistant to reply. Subsequently, when a reply message is created by the second assistant, the second assistant terminal 3-2 transmits the reply message to the assistant management device 1. The assistant management device 1 converts the handle name included in the received message into the handle name of the first assistant (S34), and then converts the converted message to the customer terminal 2-1 and the first assistant terminal 3-1. Send to.

  When the assistant management device 1 receives a reply message from the second assistant terminal 3-2 within a predetermined time after receiving the reply message from the first assistant terminal 3-1, the second assistant terminal 3-2. The second assistant terminal 3-2 is notified that the transmission has been stopped without transmitting the reply message received from the client terminal 2-1. Similarly, when a reply message is also received from the first assistant terminal 3-1 within a predetermined time after receiving a reply message from the second assistant terminal 3-2, the reply message received from the first assistant terminal 3-1. Is transmitted to the customer terminal 2-1, and the first assistant terminal 3-1 is notified that the transmission is stopped. By doing in this way, when the 1st assistant and the 2nd assistant reply with respect to the same message from a customer, it can prevent that two reply messages are transmitted to a customer.

  When the first assistant terminal 3-1 and the second assistant terminal 3-2 receive a message from the assistant management device 1, the first assistant and the second assistant input that they are willing to reply to the message. The button may be displayed in association with the received message. For example, when the first assistant wants to reply to the received message, when the radio button is selected, the first assistant terminal 3-1 manages the message indicating that he / she intends to reply to the first assistant. Transmit to device 1.

  The assistant management device 1 transmits a message indicating that there is an intention to reply to the first assistant to the second assistant terminal 3-2. When the second assistant terminal 3-2 receives the message, the second assistant terminal 3-2 displays that the first assistant has an intention to reply in association with the message received from the customer. By doing in this way, when either one of the first assistant and the second assistant tries to reply, it is possible to prevent the other from sending a reply message.

[Effects of Second Embodiment]
As described above, according to the assistant management system S according to the second embodiment, the second assistant corresponding to the first assistant can transmit a message to the customer instead of the first assistant. Therefore, even when the content of the message sent by the customer is not in the field where the first assistant is good or when the first assistant cannot reply immediately, the second assistant can reply instead of the first assistant. Satisfaction can be increased.

<Third Embodiment>
Customers may find it difficult to post messages if there are many other customers who can see the posted messages. Therefore, the assistant management system S according to the third embodiment manages a plurality of groups each having different attributes, and a message posted by a customer is disclosed only to other customers in the group to which the customer belongs. Unlike the above embodiment, the other points are the same.

  Specifically, the management unit 121 causes the storage unit 11 to store a plurality of group attributes including a plurality of customers. The determination unit 123 determines the priority order of the plurality of groups recommended to the customer based on the customer attributes and the attributes of the plurality of groups. The device communication unit 13 transmits the priority order of the group determined by the determination unit 123 to the customer terminal.

  Groups are established, for example, by occupation, hobby, or region. The group attributes are, for example, doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc. for occupational groups, art, music, baseball, etc. for hobby groups, and Tohoku, Kanto for regional groups. , Kansai, Shikoku, etc. The determination unit 123 determines the priority order of the groups based on the degree of correlation between the customer attribute and the attribute of each group.

  Furthermore, the determination unit 123 determines the priority order of the first assistant candidate based on the attribute of the group to which the customer belongs. For example, when the customer belongs to the doctor group, the determination unit 123 increases the priority of the first assistant candidate who has abundant medical knowledge. By doing in this way, the probability that the 1st assistant candidate who can raise a customer's satisfaction will be selected can be raised.

[Effect in the third embodiment]
As described above, according to the assistant management system S according to the third embodiment, since the customer can belong to a group suitable for his / her attribute, the opportunity for the customer to post a message can be increased. If the number of messages posted by the customer increases, the attribute estimation unit 122 can estimate the customer's attributes using more messages, so the probability of selecting the first assistant candidate that increases the customer's satisfaction can be increased. It can be further increased.

  As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated using embodiment, the technical scope of this invention is not limited to the range as described in the said embodiment. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications or improvements can be added to the above embodiment. It is apparent from the scope of the claims that the embodiments added with such changes or improvements can be included in the technical scope of the present invention.

  For example, the management unit 121 may store a plurality of first assistants in the storage unit 11 in association with one customer, and one or more second assistants may be assigned to each first assistant.

  Further, the customers are not limited to customers who purchase products or services, and any person who can use the communication partner management system S can be a customer. Further, the first assistant and the second assistant are not limited to sales assistants, but include all persons who can use the communication partner management system S and can send and receive messages.
