In this embodiment, a plurality of companies in a group use a business card information management system to share business card information between a plurality of companies in the group, that is, between different users belonging to the plurality of companies. Can do.

(Configuration of business card information management system)
Next, a schematic configuration of the business card information management system in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a business card information management system 10.

  The business card information management system 10 includes a server (business card information management server) 100 and a user terminal (operation terminal) 200. The server 100 and the user terminal 200 can perform wired or wireless communication with each other via the Internet (network) 300. In this embodiment, it is assumed that users A to X exist as users. Therefore, FIG. 1 shows user terminals 200a to 200x included in the users A to X.

  The server 100 includes an input unit 101, a processing unit (processor such as a CPU, a computer) 102, a storage unit (memory or storage) 103, and an output unit 104. A program (business card information management program) 105 for managing input (registration), search, and output of business card information is installed in the server 100 and stored in the storage unit 103. The storage means 103 stores a database 106 relating to business card information (business card data) created from a business card image captured by the user. The program 105 controls the input unit 101 so as to capture a business card image according to the operation of the user terminal 200 via the Internet 300. The program 105 also controls the output unit 104 to display desired business card information from the database 106 on the display unit 204 of the user terminal 200 according to the operation of the user terminal 200 via the Internet 300. Note that at least some of the functions of the server 100 may be realized by cloud computing using a server different from the server owned and managed by the service provider.

  The input unit 101 inputs the business card image captured by the capturing unit 203 of the user terminal 200. The processing unit 102 generates the business card information from the business card image input via the input unit 101 by executing the program 105, and registers the generated business card information in the database 106. Further, the processing means 102 searches the business card information in the database 106 based on a command from the user terminal 200 by executing the program 105. The output unit 104 outputs a signal corresponding to the business card information corresponding to the search result by the processing unit 102 to the user terminal 200.

  The user terminal 200 includes an operation unit 201, a processing unit (processor) 202, a capturing unit 203, and a display unit (display) 204. The capturing unit 203 includes, for example, an imaging unit (camera), and captures a business card image (image data) captured by the imaging unit. Instead of the camera, a business card image may be captured using a scanner. The operation unit 201 is a keyboard or a mouse, but is not limited thereto, and may be a touch panel provided on the display unit 204.

(Configuration of server processing means)
Next, the configuration of the processing means 102 of the server 100 in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the processing means 102 of the server 100.

  As illustrated in FIG. 2, the processing unit 102 includes a control unit 1021, an image acquisition unit 1022, an image recognition unit 1023, a business card information generation unit 1024, an acquisition date addition unit 1025, and a business card information search unit 1026.

  The control unit 1021 controls the operation of each unit of the processing unit 102. The image acquisition unit 1022 acquires a business card image (image data) input from the user terminal 200 via the input unit 101. The image recognition unit 1023 converts the business card image (image data) acquired by the image acquisition unit 1022 into a character code string (character data) by OCR recognition technology. The business card information generation unit 1024 extracts necessary data from the character data converted by the image recognition unit 1023 and generates business card information. The business card information includes, but is not limited to, the name of the business card owner, company, department, title, e-mail address, and the like.

  Acquisition date adding means 1025 adds the acquisition date of the business card to the business card information. The business card information is stored in the storage unit 103 (database 106) in association with the business card acquisition date. The “date of business card acquisition” is the date (name card exchange date) when the user acquired a business card from the owner, and is input by the user via the operation means 201 of the user terminal 200, for example. However, the present embodiment is not limited to this, and the acquisition date adding unit 1025 automatically sets the date when the business card image is input (uploaded) from the user terminal 200 to the server 100 as the business card acquisition date. May be. In this case, the user can arbitrarily change the acquisition date automatically set by the acquisition date adding unit 1025 as an initial value via the operation unit 201 of the user terminal 200. Alternatively, the image acquisition unit 1022 acquires the image of the business card in a state where the user has written the acquisition date on the business card by handwriting or the like, and the image recognition unit 1023 uses the OCR recognition technology to write the data related to the acquisition date. You may comprise so that it may acquire.

  The business card information search unit 1026 searches the database 106 for the business card information designated via the operation unit 201 of the user terminal 200. The business card information search means 1026 displays the business card information on the display means 204 of the user terminal 200 when the acquisition date of the business card is later than the joint use declaration date for the company to which the user belongs. “Shared use declaration date” is the date when a company in the group declares that sharing of business card information (shared use) will start using the business card information management service of this embodiment. It is a reference date that can be set. In the present embodiment, in order to solve the compliance problem easily and at low cost, it is determined whether or not the business card in the group can be shared on the basis of the “shared use declaration date”.

(Business card information management method)
Next, with reference to FIG. 3, the business card information management method in this embodiment is demonstrated. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a business card information management method. Each step in FIG. 3 is realized mainly by the processing means (computer) 102 of the server 100 executing the program (business card information management program) 105 stored in the storage means 103. In FIG. 3, in the same group, the company (first company) of the user (first user) who takes in the business card and the company (second company) of the user (second user) who searches for the business card The case where is different from will be described.

  First, in step S101, a user (first user) belonging to a certain company (first company) in the group uses the capture means 203 of the user terminal 200 to exchange the name card from the owner of the business card. Import the acquired business card image. For example, a business card image can be captured by installing a predetermined application (application software) in the user terminal 200 and using a capturing unit 203 such as a camera or a scanner. In this way, a user who belongs to one of a plurality of companies in the group can use his / her user terminal 200 to capture a business card image acquired from the owner by business card exchange or the like. The business card image captured by the capturing unit 203 of the user terminal 200 is input to the input unit 101 of the server 100 via the Internet 300 and acquired by the image acquiring unit 1022 of the processing unit 102.

  Subsequently, in step S102, the image recognition unit 1023 performs OCR recognition of the business card image. Then, the business card information generation means 1024 generates business card information (digital data relating to a character string written on the business card) based on OCR recognition.

  Subsequently, in step S103, the acquisition date adding unit 1025 adds the acquisition date of the business card to the business card information. The acquisition date of the business card can be input by the first user (the user who uploaded the business card acquired by exchanging the business card with the owner of the business card to the server 100) using the operation unit 201 of the user terminal 200. . Alternatively, the acquisition date adding unit 1025 may automatically set the date when the business card is uploaded to the server 100 as the acquisition date of the business card. Alternatively, the first user writes the business card acquisition date on the business card by handwriting or the like, the business card on which the business card acquisition date is written is acquired by the image recognition means 1023 using the OCR recognition technology, and the business card recognized by the OCR recognition technology. The acquisition date adding means 1025 can add the acquisition date to the business card information. Subsequently, in step S104, the control unit 1021 registers the business card information in the database 106 in association with the business card acquisition date.

  Here, an example of the database 106 stored in the storage unit 103 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is an example of the database 106. As shown in FIG. 4, the database 106 includes data regarding groups, companies (shared use declaration date), users, business card information, and business card acquisition dates. A “group” is an integrated body to which a plurality of companies that use the business card information management service of this embodiment belong. FIG. 4 shows two groups, groups A and B. Actually, all groups using the business card information management service are registered. The user may be managed as identification information (user ID) assigned for each user.

  In FIG. 4, it is shown that Group A has two companies “Company A1” and “Company A2”, and the date of declaration of joint use for those companies is July 1, 2017. Yes. In addition, two users “User A1-1” and “User A1-2” belong to the company A1, and two users “User A2-1” and “User A2-2” belong to the company A2. Is shown to belong.

  The user A1-1 has three business card information as “business card A1-1-1”, “business card A1-1-2”, and “business card A1-1-3”. These three business card information is business card information generated by taking in a business card acquired by the user A1-1 through business card exchange or the like. The acquisition date of business card A1-1-1 was July 18, 2017, the acquisition date of business card A1-1-2 was July 11, 2017, and the acquisition date of business card A1-1-3 was July 2017. One day. Similarly, other groups, companies, users, business card information, and business card acquisition dates are also associated and registered in the database 106. Each time a new business card is taken in, new business card information is registered in the database 106.

  Subsequently, in step S <b> 105 of FIG. 2, a user (second user) belonging to a certain company in the group (a second company different from the first company) operates the operation means 201 of his / her user terminal 200. Is used to search for desired business card information using the database 106 of the server 100. The business card information is searched by the business card information search means 1026 of the processing means 102. Here, the second user is a user belonging to the second company, and the acquirer of the business card information to be searched by the second user is the first user belonging to the first company. Is identified by the user ID of each user, for example.

  Subsequently, in step S106, the processing means 102 (control means 1021) compares the acquisition date of the business card related to the business card information searched by the second user with the shared use declaration date related to the second company. If the business card acquisition date is after the joint use declaration date for the second company (or the same date as the joint use declaration date), the processing means 102 determines that the business card is a normal business card, and goes to step S107. move on. In step S107, the processing means 102 (control means 1021) controls the output means 104 so that the business card information searched according to the search operation by the second user is displayed on the display means 204 of the user terminal 200.

  On the other hand, if the acquisition date of the business card is earlier than the joint use declaration date for the second company in step S106, the processing means 102 determines that the business card is a specific business card (a business card whose joint use is restricted due to compliance problems). And the process proceeds to step S108. In step S108, the processing means 102 (control means 1021) controls the output means 104 so that the business card information searched according to the search operation by the second user is not displayed on the display means 204.

  For example, in FIG. 4, the acquisition date of the business card A1-2-3 and the business card A2-2-3 relating to the group A is June 30, 2017, and the common use declaration date of the companies A1 and A2 is 2017. It is before July 1st. For this reason, business card A1-2-3 and business card A2-2-3 are specific business cards. Accordingly, the business card A1-2-3 captured by the user A1-2 belonging to the company A1 can be browsed only by the user belonging to the company A1, and the user belonging to the company A2 cannot browse. Further, the business card A2-2-3 captured by the user A2-2 belonging to the company A2 can be browsed only by the user belonging to the company A2, and the user belonging to the company A1 cannot browse. On the other hand, since other business cards are normal business cards, they can be viewed by all users belonging to either company A1 or A2.

  In the present embodiment, the processing unit 102 is configured to display the business card when the user belonging to the first company refers to the business card information and the date of acquisition of the business card is later than the date of joint use declaration related to the second company. The output unit 104 is controlled so that information indicating that the information is business card information (ordinary business card) that can be shared with users of a plurality of companies in the group is displayed on the display unit 204 of the user terminal 200. On the other hand, when the business card acquisition date is before the joint use declaration date for the second company, the processing means 102 is the business card information (specific business card) that can be used only by users of the first company. The output unit 104 is controlled to display information indicating this on the display unit 204. Here, as information indicating that it is a normal business card or a specific business card, not only when displaying the notation of "normal business card" or "specific business card", color coding to distinguish the type of business card, It may be distinguished by adding a mark such as a specific mark according to the type of business card. With this configuration, the user of the first company can easily grasp on the user terminal 200 whether the business card captured by a user of the first company is a normal business card or a specific business card. .

  In the present embodiment, the processing means 102 can set a shared use declaration date for each company in the group. Then, the processing means 102 determines whether the business card acquisition date is after the joint use declaration date for the second company and before the joint use declaration date for the third company in the group. The output means 104 is controlled so that the business card information searched according to the search operation by the second user belonging to the company is displayed on the display means 204 of the second user terminal 200. On the other hand, in this case, the processing means 102 causes the output means 104 not to display the business card information searched according to the search operation by the third user belonging to the third company on the display means 204 of the third user terminal 200. Control. For example, in FIG. 4, business cards B1-1-3, B1-2-1, B1-2-2, and B1-2-3 captured by a user belonging to the company B1 with respect to the group B belong to the company B1. Only the user can browse, and the user belonging to the company B2 cannot browse. Further, the business card B2-2-3 captured by the user belonging to the company B2 can be browsed only by the user belonging to the company B2, and the user belonging to the company B1 cannot browse. With such a configuration, even when a shared use declaration date is set for each company in the group, the compliance problem can be solved.

  In addition, this embodiment enables sharing (shared use) of business card information among a plurality of companies in the group while solving compliance problems. This sharing (shared use) is simply “ It is not limited to the sharing of “browsing business cards” function (determination of whether to allow or prohibit browsing of business card information), but “search for business cards” function, “name collation of business cards” function, “same business card acquisition notification” And sharing of other business card information management functions such as a “same business card change notification” function.

  Regarding the “search for business card” function, the processing means 102 compares the acquisition date of the business card to be searched by a certain user with the date of declaration of shared use, and whether or not the user can search for the business card information to be searched. And change the control according to the determination result (determine whether to allow or prohibit the search for business card information).

  “Name card identification” function, that is, whether multiple identical business cards are acquired as a business card acquired in a group, and multiple identical business cards are grouped together (or duplicate business cards are deleted) Regarding the function, the processing unit 102 compares each acquisition date of the plurality of identical business cards registered in the database 106 with the joint use declaration date, and determines whether to execute this function. For example, the processing unit 102 executes this function only for the same business card whose acquisition date is later than the shared use declaration date among a plurality of the same business cards, and the acquisition date is the same that is earlier than the shared use declaration date. Do not perform this function for business cards.

  Regarding the “same business card acquisition notification” function, that is, the function of notifying that another user in the group has newly acquired the same business card, the processing means 102 obtains the newly acquired business card acquisition date, the shared use declaration date, Are compared to determine whether to execute this function. For example, the processing unit 102 executes this notification function for business cards newly acquired after the date of joint use declaration, but does not execute this notification function for business cards acquired before the date of joint use declaration. .

  Regarding the “same business card change notification” function, that is, the function of notifying that the information related to the same business card of another user in the group is different, the processing means 102 uses the information on the same business card differently and the shared use date The date of declaration is compared to determine whether to execute this function. For example, the processing means 102 executes this notification function for business cards acquired after the joint use declaration date, but does not execute this notification function for business cards acquired before the joint use declaration date. .

  Note that the processing unit 102 can determine whether to execute each function for each company (for each user belonging to the company) based on the shared use declaration date. In other words, the processing unit 102 can perform control so as to execute each function related to a certain business card for a user of a certain company and not execute each function for a user of another company.

  According to the present embodiment, a business card information management server, a business card information management system, and business card information that can share business card information among a plurality of companies in a group easily and at low cost while solving compliance problems. A management method and a business card information management program can be provided.
