  In the new posting screen GFi displayed on the user terminal 20stA / B, when information on an arbitrary photograph or character is input by the terminal user and the [post] icon is operated, the input information is changed to the circle The latest feed is received in the feed storage area 12A4 of the circle data storage area 12A. (Step S411).

  Then, the number of new feeds stored in association with each member excluding the corresponding member (current posting member) in the circle member storage area 12A3 in the circle A in which the latest feed is written is incremented by 1 and updated. (Step S412).

  The feed data after the latest feed is written in the feed storage area 12A4 1.2. Are read out and sent to the user terminal 20stA / B as a feed list screen GFca listing the feeds F1, F2,... Of the circle A in the same manner as above (step S413 (No) → S407).

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 14A, in the circle list screen Gcl displayed on the user terminal 20stA / B, for example, when the message link icon RMa of the item SA of the circle A is selected, When the circle server 10 determines that the “message” of the circle A has been selected (step S406 “message”), or as shown in FIG. 14B, the circle server 10 displays the message on the user terminal 20stA / B. In the feed list screen GFca, the message link icon RMa added to the upper part of the screen is selected without operating the [Post] icon, so that the circle server 10 can access the message screen of the circle A. If it is determined that a transition request has been received (step S409 ( o) → S414 (Yes)), is shifted to the message processing shown in FIG. 11 (step S415~S425).

  FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a display operation of the user terminal 20stA / B of the manager / care worker A / B in accordance with the message processing of the circle server 10.

  In this message processing, the operation of the circle A message link icon RMa according to the circle list screen Gcl (see FIG. 14A) in the user terminal 20stA / B or the feed list screen GFca of the circle A (FIG. 14 ( B) In response to the operation of the message link icon RMa added to the reference), a member (administrator / care worker A / B) of the user terminal 20stA / B in the message storage area 12A5 of the circle data storage area 12A Each message group MG1 (2 persons: family A (excluding himself / herself)) and MG2 (3 persons: family A, visiting care staff A (excluding himself / herself)) stored in subgroups 12A51 and 12A52 to which they belong is read out, and FIG. As shown in (A), as the message group list screen Gmgl, the user terminal Sent to 0stA / B (step S415).

  At this time, it is assumed that the subgroup 12A53 has not been created in the message storage area 12A5.

  When any message group (here, MG2) is selected on the message group list screen Gmg1 displayed on the user terminal 20stA / B, the selected message group MG2 is transmitted to the circle server 10. It is received by the server 10 (step S416 (Yes)).

  Then, in the circle server 10, the message data stored in the subgroup 12A2 corresponding to the selected message group MG2 in the message storage area 12A5 of the circle A is read, and is shown in FIG. In this way, a message screen Gm in which each message is expanded in time series is generated and transmitted to the user terminal 20stA / B (step S420).

  Here, the number of new messages of the corresponding member of the selected message group MG2 (12A52) (the manager / care worker A / B who opened the message screen Gm) in the message storage area 12A5 of the circle A is reset ( Step S421).

  In the message screen Gm of the message group MG2 displayed on the user terminal stA / B, when a new message is written in the message area Ma at the lower end of the screen Gm and the [Send] icon is operated, the message is written in the message area Ma. The new message is transmitted to the circle server 10.

  When the circle server 10 receives a new message transmitted from the user terminal stA / B (step S422 (Yes)), the received message is stored in the subgroup 12A52 corresponding to the corresponding message group MG2. The message content is additionally written (step S423).

  Here, the number of new messages for each member (family A, visiting care worker A) excluding the member (manager / care worker A / B) corresponding to the message transmission source among the members in the subgroup 12A52 is +1. (Step S424).

  Then, the message data after the new message is written in the subgroup 12A52 of the message storage area 12A5 is read out, and the message screen Gm listing the messages of the message group MG2 is displayed in the same manner as described above. Is transmitted and displayed (step S425 (No) → S420).

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 15A, in the message group list screen Gmgl of the circle A displayed on the user terminal 20stA / B of the manager / care worker A / B, the [Create New Message] icon Is operated, a request for creating a new message is transmitted from the user terminal 20stA / B to the circle server 10.

  When the circle server 10 receives a request for creating a new message transmitted from the user terminal 20stA / B of the manager / care worker A / B (steps S415 to S417 (Yes)), FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, each member (family A, visiting care) except the member (manager / care worker A / B) of the new message creation request source stored in the circle member storage area 12A3 of the selected circle A A member selection list screen Gmsl with items of staff A and care manager A) is generated and transmitted to the user terminal 20stA / B (step S418).

  Then, on the member selection list screen Gmsl displayed on the user terminal 20stA / B of the manager / care worker A / B, the member (here, “visit care worker A”, “care manager A”) who wants to create a new message group. ) Is selected by operating the check box ch, the selected member is transmitted to the circle server 10.

  When the member selected by the manager / care worker A / B (“visit care worker A” “care manager A”) is received in the circle server 10, the manager / care worker A / B and the A message group MG3 (manager / care worker A / B, visiting care worker A, care manager A) composed of the selected members is created and stored in association with the subgroup 12A53 in the message storage area 12A ( Step S419).

  Then, in the circle server 10, the message data stored in the subgroup 12A53 created in the message storage area 12A5 of the circle A is read (here, there is still no message), and as shown in FIG. A message screen Gm of the message group MG3 corresponding to the subgroup 12A53 is generated and transmitted to the user terminal 20stA / B (step S420).

  Here, the number of new messages of the corresponding member of the new message group MG3 (12A53) (the manager / care worker A / B who opened the message screen Gm) in the message storage area 12A5 of the circle A is reset (step S3). S421).

  In the message screen Gm (see FIG. 15D) of the message group MG3 displayed on the user terminal stA / B, a new message is written in the message area Ma at the lower end of the screen Gm, and the [Send] icon is operated. Then, a new message written in the message area Ma is transmitted to the circle server 10.

  When the circle server 10 receives a new message transmitted from the user terminal stA / B (step S422 (Yes)), the received message is stored in the subgroup 12A53 corresponding to the corresponding message group MG3. The message content is additionally written (step S423).

  Here, the number of new messages for each member (visiting care worker A, care manager A) excluding the member (manager / care worker A / B) corresponding to the message transmission source among the members in the subgroup 12A53 is as follows. +1 is added (step S424).

  Then, the message data after the new message is written to the subgroup 12A53 of the message storage area 12A5 is read out, and the message screen Gm listing the messages of the message group MG3 is displayed in the same way as the user terminal 20stA / B. Is transmitted and displayed (step S425 (No) → S420).

  Thereby, according to the message screen Gm of the message group MG3 displayed on the user terminal 20stA / B of the manager / care worker A / B, not only in the message group GM2 but also in the message group MG3, Similarly, messages can be input and exchanged separately (steps S420 to S425).

  Thus, even within the circle A of the same cared person A, members who exchange messages can be made into subgroups (MG1 to MG3), for example, contents that are not necessary for the family A of the cared person A Can also be exchanged only by care service personnel such as care manager A, care staff A / B, and visiting care staff A.

  Therefore, according to the care service system using the circle server 10 having the above-described configuration, the user terminals (mail addresses) 20 of a plurality of members who take care of the care recipients A, B,. Are registered in each circle member storage area 12A3, 12B3,. Then, for each circle A, B,..., A message related to the care recipients A, B,... Input from the user terminal 20. At this time, when a member in the same circle A is selected according to the member selection list screen Gmsl transmitted to the user terminal 20 when the new message is input from the user terminal 20, the subgroup 12A5n of the selected member is selected. The created message is stored in the message storage area 12A5 in association with the same subgroup. Then, when a message request is received from a certain user terminal 20, if a member of the user terminal 20 is included in the subgroup 12A5n, a list screen Gmgl of the subgroup 12A5n is transmitted to the user terminal 20. When the subgroup 12A5n selected on the subgroup list screen Gmg1 is received, the message list screen Gm associated with the subgroup 12A5n and stored in the message storage area 12A5 is the same. It is transmitted to the user terminal 20 and displayed.

  This makes it possible not only to exchange messages about the cared person with a simple operation, but only between members in separate circles A, B, ... caring for each of the cared persons A, B, ... For example, even if you want to send a message only to a limited number of members in the same circle, you can easily create a subgroup of only the limited members in the same circle and exchange messages only with members of the same subgroup. It is possible to transmit a message only to a desired member with an easy and smooth operation.

  Therefore, it is possible to easily and smoothly take care of a plurality of persons involved in each of a plurality of care targets, such as care for a plurality of elderly people and children.

  In the above-described embodiment, a case has been described in which a plurality of care recipients are registered as a circle of a plurality of members who care for the care recipient, but the care target is not limited to the care recipient, for example, a kindergarten It may be a person such as a child or a school student who is involved and cared for, or an animal such as a pet, or a passenger car that requires inspection or maintenance.

  It should be noted that each processing method performed by the circle server 10 described in the above embodiments, that is, a user registration process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 7, a circle creation process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 8, and a circle member invitation process shown in the flowchart of FIG. Each of the methods such as feed / message processing shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. 10 and 11 is a program that can be executed by a computer, such as a memory card (ROM card, RAM card, etc.), magnetic disk (floppy (registered trademark)). ) Disc, hard disk, etc.), optical disc (CD-ROM, DVD, etc.), semiconductor memory, etc. Then, the computer (control device) of the electronic device that can communicate with the information communication terminals (20) on the communication network (N) reads the program stored in the medium (13) of the external storage device into the storage device. By controlling the operation by the read program, it is possible to realize the feed / message function for each circle described in the above embodiments, and to execute the same processing by the method described above.

  Further, program data for realizing each of the above methods can be transmitted on the communication network (N) in the form of a program code, and from a computer device (program server) connected to the communication network (N). The program data can be taken into an electronic device communicably connected to the information communication terminal (20...) And stored in a storage device to realize the aforementioned feed / message function for each circle.
