Is provided.

  The terminal device 3 includes a terminal reception unit 301, a terminal transmission unit 302, a terminal reception unit 303, and a terminal display unit 304.

  The information processing apparatus 1 is, for example, a computer used by one or more users, a portable information terminal such as a tablet terminal, a multi-function mobile phone such as a so-called smartphone. The information processing apparatus 1 may be, for example, a device that accepts input or outputs a screen via a network, a communication line, or the like, that is, a server. When the information processing device 1 is a server, one or more input / output terminals (not shown) that access the information processing device 1 that is the server and perform input / output are, for example, one or more terminal devices. 3 may be another device (not shown). The input / output terminal is realized by, for example, a computer, a portable information terminal, or the like, similarly to the terminal device 3.

  The usage reception unit 101 receives usage request information. The usage request information is, for example, information used by the user indicated by the first user identifier included in the usage request information to determine whether the information processing apparatus 1 can be used. The availability of use may be considered as the availability of access. The usage request information is, for example, information input to use the information processing apparatus 1, and specifically, information input to log in to the information processing apparatus 1. The usage request information is information having a first user identifier. The first user identifier included in the usage request information is used as, for example, an account or a user identifier input when logging into the information processing apparatus 1.

  For example, the usage reception unit 101 may be usage request information input by a user to an input / output terminal (not shown), and may receive usage request information transmitted from the device. It may be possible to accept use request information input via a device or the like.

  The first user identifier is a user identifier of the user. The user identifier included in the usage request information is usually the user identifier of the user who inputs the usage request information. For example, the first user identifier is a user identifier of a user who uses the information processing apparatus 1. For example, the first user identifier is a user identifier of a registered user who can use the information processing apparatus 1. The user identifier in the present embodiment is, for example, a user name, a user account, a user mail address, or a character string assigned to the user. This user may be an individual or a group. The group may be, for example, a department in a company or a group of persons in charge. That is, the user identifier may be a group identifier.

  The usage request information preferably has a password associated with the first user identifier, for example. The password is, for example, a password used to determine whether the information processing apparatus 1 can be used, specifically, whether it can be accessed. For example, the password is input when logging into the information processing apparatus 1. The password included in the usage request information is, for example, a password associated with the first user identifier included in the same usage request information.

  The reception here means reception of information from an input device such as a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel, reception of information transmitted via a wired or wireless communication line, and a recording medium such as an optical disk, a magnetic disk, or a semiconductor memory. It is a concept that includes acceptance of read information. For example, the acceptance here is a concept including reception from an input / output terminal (not shown) used by a user via a network or a communication line. This input / output terminal may be one or more terminal devices 3. The input means may be anything such as a keyboard, touch panel, mouse or menu screen. The use accepting unit 101 can be realized by a device driver for input means such as a keyboard and a touch panel, control software for a menu screen, communication means, control software for communication means, and the like. The same applies to the access request receiving unit 104, the input receiving unit 112, and the transmission input receiving unit 114 described later.

  The usage processing unit 102 determines whether or not the information processing apparatus 1 can be used using the usage request information. The usage request information used by the usage processing unit 102 is, for example, usage request information received by the usage receiving unit 101. The first user identifier included in the use request information is, for example, a first user identifier of a user who requests use of the information processing apparatus 1. Note that the usage request information is stored in advance in a storage unit (not shown) of the information processing apparatus 1, and the usage processing unit 102 reads out the usage request information at a predetermined timing, trigger, etc. You may make it use for judgment of. In this case, the usage reception unit 101 may be omitted as appropriate.

  For example, the usage processing unit 102 determines whether or not the information processing apparatus 1 can be used by using the first user identifier included in the usage request information. Preferably, whether or not the information processing apparatus 1 can be used is determined using a set of a first user identifier and a password included in the usage request information. The process of determining whether or not the information processing apparatus 1 using the first user identifier or the combination of the first user identifier and the password is usable is, for example, an authentication process. The process for determining whether or not to use the information processing apparatus using the first user identifier included in the usage request information or the combination of the first user identifier and the password is, for example, a login process for the information processing apparatus 1. In the present embodiment, login is considered to be a concept including sign-in and the like. The determination of availability is, for example, determination of whether to permit use of the information processing apparatus 1. Permitting use may be considered as, for example, successful authentication or successful login. It is assumed that other information used for authentication and login processing is stored in advance in a storage unit (not shown), for example. Since the process for determining permission to use a device or the like using a user identifier or the like is known as a normal authentication process or a login process, detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  The user management information storage unit 103 includes one or more user managements having a first user identifier and a second user identifier that is an identifier for the user indicated by the first user identifier to access the server device 2. Information is stored. The second user identifier will be described later. The first user identifier and the second user identifier indicated by one user management information are usually the same user identifier. The user management information may further store a password used for determining whether or not the server apparatus 2 is accessible together with the second user identifier.

  The user management information storage unit 103 is preferably a non-volatile recording medium, but can also be realized by a volatile recording medium. The same applies to other storage units.

  The access request receiving unit 104 receives access request information. The access request information is information having a second user identifier that is a user identifier. The access request information is, for example, for determining whether or not the user indicated by the second user identifier included in the access request information can use the server device 2, specifically, whether or not it can be accessed. Information used. The access request information is information for requesting access to the server device 2, for example. The access request information may be considered as information for requesting permission for access to the server device 2. The access request information is information used to log in to the server device 2, for example.

  The second user identifier is, for example, the user identifier of the user of the server device 2. The second user identifier is, for example, a user identifier of a registered user who can access the server device 2. The second user identifier included in the access request information is, for example, a user identifier used for determining whether or not the server apparatus 2 is accessible. The second user identifier included in the access request information is used as, for example, an account or user identifier input when logging in to the server device 2. The second user identifier included in the access request information is, for example, a user identifier that is input to determine whether or not the user is a registered user who is permitted to access the server device 2.

  The access request information preferably has, for example, a password associated with the second user identifier. The password is, for example, a password used for determining whether or not the server device 2 can be used, specifically, whether or not access is possible. For example, it is a password input when logging into the server device 2. The password included in the access request information is, for example, a password associated with the second user identifier included in the same access request information.

  The access request receiving unit 104 receives access request information input from a user via an input device (not shown), for example. The access request reception unit 104 may receive access request information from, for example, an input / output terminal (not shown) used by the user. For example, the access request information may be received from a user permitted to use the information processing apparatus 1 or from an input / output terminal used by a user permitted to use the information processing apparatus 1. When the second user identifier constituting the access request information or a combination of the second user identifier and the password is received from the user via an input screen for receiving the access request information, the access request information is You may think that it was accepted. When the second user identifier constituting the access request information, or a combination of the second user identifier and the password, and an instruction or operation for creating the access request information are received, the access request information may be acquired. Such acquisition of access request information may also be considered as acceptance of access request information.

  In addition, the access request receiving unit 104 acquires the second user identifier corresponding to the first user identifier included in the above-described use request information or the second user identifier and password from the user management information storage unit 103 by searching or the like, The acquired second user identifier or access request information having the second user identifier and password may be acquired, and acquisition of such access request information may also be considered as acceptance of access request information. For example, the access request receiving unit 104 acquires access request information at a timing or trigger specified in advance. For example, when the usage processing unit 102 permits the use of the information processing apparatus 1 by the user corresponding to the first user identifier included in the usage request information using the usage request information, the usage request information You may acquire the access request information which has the 2nd user identifier corresponding to the 1st user identifier which has.

  There is no limitation on the timing or trigger at which the access request receiving unit 104 receives access request information. For example, the access request reception unit 104 may receive the access request information immediately before the request transmission unit 105 transmits request information to be described later to the server device 2 or immediately before the message is transmitted. Further, when the usage processing unit 102 determines that the information processing apparatus 1 can be used, the access request receiving unit 104 may receive access request information.

  The request transmission unit 105 transmits the access request information received by the access request reception unit 104 to the server device 2. The request transmission unit 105 normally transmits the access request information when the access request reception unit 104 receives the access request information, but the timing at which the request transmission unit 105 transmits the access request information does not matter.

  Further, the request transmission unit 105 transmits the request information to the server device 2. For example, the request transmission unit 105 acquires request information and transmits the acquired request information to the server device 2. The request information is information for requesting a message. Specifically, the request information is information for requesting the server apparatus 2 to transmit a message. The request information is information for requesting a message associated with one second user identifier, for example. One second user identifier is, for example, a desired second user identifier.

  The request information transmitted by the request transmission unit 105 is request information for requesting a message associated with the second user identifier associated with the first user identifier of the user permitted to be used by the usage processing unit 102. In this case, the one second user identifier is a second user identifier of the user who has permitted the use of the information processing apparatus 1 by the use processing unit 102, for example, user management stored in the user management information storage unit 103. It is a second user identifier associated with the first user identifier included in the usage request information by the information.

  The request information may be information having one second user identifier, for example, as long as it is information requesting a message associated with one second user identifier as a result. It may be information that does not have.

  The request information acquired and transmitted by the request transmission unit 105 is information having one second user identifier, for example, and is information requesting a message associated with the second user identifier. For example, the request transmission unit 105 acquires the second user identifier corresponding to the first user identifier included in the usage request information from the user management information in the user management information storage unit 103, and the request information including the acquired second user identifier Send. The request information may be information having a password associated with one second user identifier. The request information may be, for example, information having only a second user identifier or a combination of the second user identifier and a password. In addition to the second user identifier or the combination of the second user identifier and the password, the request information may be The information may include information indicating an instruction or command to request, or may include information indicating request information. For example, the request transmission unit 105 acquires a set of the second user identifier and password corresponding to the first user identifier included in the usage request information from the user management information in the user management information storage unit 103, and acquires the acquired second user. Request information having a pair of an identifier and a password may be transmitted.

  Further, the request transmission unit 105 acquires request information having a second user identifier or a combination of the second user identifier and a password input from a user or the like via an input device (not shown) and the like, and sends the request information to the server device 2. You may send it.

  The request information acquired and transmitted by the request transmission unit 105 is information that does not have one second user identifier, and is a second user identifier of a user who is accessible to the server device 2 It may be information requesting the associated message. For example, using the second user identifier of one user, as a result of determining whether or not the one user can access the server apparatus 2, access is permitted, and information processing used by the server apparatus 2 and the one user is used. When a connection is established with the device 1, the request information is information transmitted using the established connection, and is associated with the second user identifier used for establishing this connection. It may be information for requesting a received message. The second user identifier used for establishing the connection is, for example, the second user identifier included in the access request information used by the access processing unit 202 described later for determining whether access is possible. The second user identifier included in the access request information transmitted by the information processing apparatus 1 permitted to be used by the user is, for example, the first request information used when determining whether or not the information processing apparatus 1 can be used. This is a second user identifier associated with the user identifier by the user management information, and is a second user identifier corresponding to the user permitted to use by the use processing unit 102. The second user identifier used for establishing the connection may be, for example, the second user identifier of the user who has established the connection or the second user identifier of the user who uses the information processing apparatus 1 having established the connection. Good. The connection establishment here is, for example, session establishment, connection establishment, or the like. The request information in this case may be information having information indicating an instruction or a command for requesting a message, or information indicating request information. For example, the request transmission unit 105 may acquire such request information that does not have the second user identifier stored in advance in a storage unit (not illustrated) or the like and transmits the request information to the server device 2.

  The request information may be, for example, information for requesting an unacquired message, that is, an unacquired message. The unacquired message may be considered as an unread message or a message newly acquired by the server apparatus 2 after the previous acquisition.

  When access is permitted according to the access request information transmitted by the request transmission unit 105, the server apparatus 2 sends a message associated with the second user identifier included in the access request information to the information processing apparatus 1. In the case of transmitting to the access point, access request information or a part thereof may be used as request information for requesting a message. In this case, this access request information may also be considered as one of the request information. In this case, for example, when the server apparatus 2 transmits a message, when determining whether or not a user who requests transmission of a message can be accessed every time, the access request information is transmitted as request information each time. It is possible to make a determination and request message transmission.

  The message in the present embodiment is, for example, a message, information spoken, information transmitted by language or symbol, and the like. The message is usually text data, but may be image data, audio data, or a combination of two or more of these. The image data may be a still image or a moving image. The message here may be stored in association with the title of the message, for example. Note that the title may be considered as a part of the message. The message may be stored in association with information indicating the message. The title associated with the message may be considered as information indicating the message.

  The message may be a message to which target information described later is added. The message to which the target information or the like is added may be, for example, a message to which the target information is attached or a message to which information for acquiring the target information is attached.

  The message attached with the target information or the like may be, for example, a message in which the target information is embedded or a message transmitted together with the target information. Attachment of the target information is the same as attachment of a file in a normal electronic mail, so-called attachment file, and description thereof is omitted here. The same applies to attachment of information for acquiring target information.

  The information for acquiring the target information is, for example, information having link information for the target information and information that can specify the target information to be acquired. The information that can specify the target information is, for example, address information of a location where the target information is stored, an identifier of the target information such as a file name that can specify the target information to be acquired, and the like. In addition, the information for acquiring the target information may include an instruction or a command for requesting transmission of the target information to the apparatus in which the target information is stored. The information for acquiring the target information may include a button for requesting the target information added to the message, an icon of the target information, and the like. The message may be a message to which information other than the target information is added.

  The timing at which the request transmission unit 105 transmits request information does not matter. For example, when the usage processing unit 102 permits the use of one user, request information having the first user identifier of the user may be transmitted. In addition, after the use of the information processing apparatus 1 by one user is permitted, the access request accepting unit 104 or the like performs a predesignated instruction or operation for transmitting the request information via an input device or the like (not shown). If accepted, request information may be transmitted. In addition, after the usage processing unit 102 permits the use of one user or after the server device 2 permits the access of the information processing device 1 used by the user, after a predetermined time has elapsed, Alternatively, the request information may be transmitted every time a predetermined or indefinite time specified in advance elapses or when one or more times specified in advance are reached.

  Note that the request transmission unit 105 may further transmit inquiry information, which is information to be inquired as to whether there is an unacquired message associated with the second user identifier acquired above, to the server device 2. . The inquiry information is information for inquiring about the presence / absence of unacquired messages and information for inquiring the number of unacquired messages. The inquiry information is information in which, in the request information described above, an inquiry about the presence or absence of a message is made instead of requesting a message. For this reason, the inquiry information may or may not have the second user identifier, for example, similarly to the request information. Further, the inquiry information may include information indicating a presence / absence of an unacquired message and information or an instruction for instructing the server apparatus 2 to transmit information indicating the number of unacquired messages. Moreover, you may have the information which shows that it is inquiry information. Such inquiry information may be transmitted, for example, when the use processing unit 102 permits the use of one user, and after the use is permitted, at predetermined or indefinite time intervals designated in advance. It may be transmitted repeatedly.

  The request transmission unit 105 is usually realized by a wireless or wired communication means. The request transmission unit 105 may or may not include a communication device. Note that this means that the message receiving unit 106, the corresponding user receiving unit 109, the transmitting unit 115, the request receiving unit 201, the server message receiving unit 203, the server transmitting unit 205, the corresponding user request receiving unit 207, the corresponding user transmitting unit 208, The same applies to other receiving units and transmitting units such as the terminal transmitting unit 302 and the terminal receiving unit 303.

  The message receiving unit 106 receives a message from the server apparatus 2 that transmits and receives a message. The message receiving unit 106 receives, for example, a message associated with the second user identifier corresponding to the first user identifier permitted to be used by the usage processing unit 102 from the server device 2. For example, the message reception unit 106 receives a message transmitted from the server device 2 in accordance with the request information transmitted by the request transmission unit 105. For example, the message receiving unit 106 receives an unacquired message from the server device 2. In this way, receiving a message in response to transmission of request information or the like may be considered as acquiring a message, for example. For example, the message receiving unit 106 transmits the request information from the server device 2 within a predetermined time after the request information is transmitted or until a predetermined time elapses after the last message is received. The received message may be received.

  The message receiving unit 106 may further receive presence / absence information, which is information related to the presence / absence of an unacquired message, from the server device 2. The presence / absence information is, for example, information indicating the presence / absence of an unacquired message or information indicating the number of unacquired messages. For example, the message receiving unit 106 receives presence information about a message associated with the second user identifier corresponding to the first user identifier permitted by the usage processing unit 102 from the server device 2. For example, the message receiving unit 106 receives from the server device 2 presence / absence information regarding the presence / absence of a message associated with the second user identifier included in the inquiry information transmitted by the request transmission unit 105. For example, the message reception unit 106 may receive presence / absence information transmitted from the server device 2 in accordance with the inquiry information transmitted by the request transmission unit 105. For example, the message receiving unit 106 receives presence / absence information transmitted by the server device 2 immediately after the inquiry information is transmitted. Further, the message receiving unit 106, for example, after transmitting inquiry information, from the server device 2 at every fixed or indefinite time interval, or at each trigger specified in advance such as when the server device 2 receives a new message. The presence / absence information to be transmitted may be received.

  For example, the message receiving unit 106 accumulates received messages in a storage unit (not shown). For example, the received message is stored in association with the reception date and time.

  The output unit 107 outputs the message received by the message receiving unit 106. For example, the output unit 107 outputs a screen of the received message. Note that the output unit 107 outputs a title that the received message has, or a list in which only a part of the message is arranged as a list item, and one of the titles and messages associated with one message in the list. When a list item in which a part is arranged is designated, a message corresponding to the list item may be output.

  It should be noted that the output unit 107 indicates that an unread message or an already read message has been read according to information indicating that the message has not been read or an operation for outputting the message. The information shown may be given and output.

  Further, the output unit 107 detects the presence / absence of a newly received message, the number of messages, the presence / absence / number of unread messages, etc. from the received message, information indicating the presence / absence of the detected message, A numerical value indicating a number may be output.

  The output unit 107 may further output presence / absence information received by the message receiving unit 106. For example, an icon, an image or a character string indicating the presence or absence of an unreceived message, or an icon, an image or a character string indicating the number of unreceived messages may be output.

  The output unit 107 may output information other than messages and presence / absence information. For example, target information acquired by the processing unit 113 described later may be output.

  Output here means display on a display, projection using a projector, printing on a printer, sound output, transmission to an external device, storage on a recording medium, other processing device or other program, etc. It is a concept including delivery of processing results. For example, the output may be transmission to an input / output terminal (not shown) used by the user. For example, the output may be transmission to one or more terminal devices 3. The output here may be, for example, transmitting data used for display to an input / output terminal used by the user. In this case, for example, data can be displayed by displaying a screen of data received by the input / output terminal on a monitor or the like. The output unit 107 may or may not include an output device such as a display or a printer. The output unit may be realized by output device driver software, output device driver software and output device, communication means, control software thereof, or the like. The same applies to the following corresponding user output unit 110.

  The corresponding user request unit 108 sends corresponding user request information for requesting a corresponding user identifier, which is the second user identifier of the user of the server device 2 associated with the user permitted by the usage processing unit 102, to the server device 2. To send. Corresponding user request information is information in which, for example, in the request information described above, instead of requesting a message, the use processing unit 102 requests a corresponding user identifier associated with a user permitted to use. Similarly to the request information, the corresponding user request information may or may not include the second user identifier of the user permitted to be used by the usage processing unit 102.

  The corresponding user receiving unit 109 receives one or more corresponding user identifiers from the server device 2. For example, the corresponding user identifier transmitted from the server device 2 is received according to the corresponding user request information.

  The corresponding user output unit 110 outputs the corresponding user identifier received by the corresponding user reception unit 109. For example, the corresponding user output unit 110 outputs a list in which the corresponding user identifiers are arranged as list items. Each list item of the list output here is, for example, a list item associated with a corresponding user identifier arranged in each list item.

  The target information storage unit 111 stores one or more target information. The target information is information to be transmitted. For example, the target information is information transmitted to a user who uses the server device 2 to send and receive messages. The target information is, for example, information sent in addition to a message. The target information is, for example, information requested by the message received by the message receiving unit 106. In the target information storage unit 111, for example, target information acquired by the processing unit 113 described later is stored. Note that the target information created by the processing unit 113 or the like may be temporarily stored in the target information storage unit 111, and such temporary storage may be considered as storage here.

  The input receiving unit 112 receives an input for acquiring target information. This input may be considered as an input for performing work for acquiring target information. The input for acquiring the target information includes, for example, an input for instructing the processing unit 113 to execute a desired process for acquiring the target information, and an input of information, parameters, conditions, and the like used for the process. is there. The input for instructing the processing unit 113 to execute a desired process is, for example, an operation for selecting a menu or the like, an operation for pressing a button associated with an instruction to execute, or an operation for inputting an instruction to execute. It is. The input for acquiring the target information is, for example, information including information specifying a database in which data used for processing is stored, a query for acquiring data from the database, and the like.

  Note that the input receiving unit 112 may receive an input other than the input for acquiring the target information. For example, an input for causing the processing unit 113 to execute a desired process may be received.

  The processing unit 113 performs processing according to the input received by the input receiving unit 112 to acquire one or more pieces of target information, and accumulates the acquired target information in the target information storage unit 111. The processing executed by the processing unit 113 may be any processing. The processing performed by the processing unit 113 is, for example, processing related to finance, accounting, personnel, inventory management, or the like performed in a corporation such as a company or an organization. The processing here is, for example, processing for creating a form related to finance, accounting, or accounting, processing for outputting data input to the form, processing for reading data using a query, or the like. The form is, for example, a slip or a book. However, the form here is an electronic form. For example, the processing unit 113 executes processing that can be executed by normal application software. Normal application software is, for example, software used for work related to finance, accounting, human resources, inventory management, etc. performed in corporations such as companies and organizations.

  For example, the processing unit 113 acquires information output on the screen as target information. The information output on the screen is, for example, information displayed on the screen. The information output on the screen may be, for example, information displayed on the screen by the output unit 107. The output unit 107 transmits the information to an input / output terminal (not shown) used by the user. Information displayed on the screen by a display unit (not shown) of the input / output terminal may be used. The information output to the screen is information that the processing unit 113 outputs to the screen as a processing result. Obtaining information output on the screen as target information means acquiring the same information as the information output on the screen, information that can output the same information, or outputting to the screen It is also possible to acquire information for outputting the information, or to acquire, for example, write out the information output on the screen as data of a specific file format or format. The information output on the screen is, for example, image information, text information, an electronic document, or the like. The target information acquired by the processing unit 113 may be, for example, information that can be displayed on the screen only in specific application software or a specific device. For example, the target information may be a combination of a template and data arranged in the template. Further, it may be a combination of data described in a markup language and style sheet information. For example, the processing unit 113 uses the information that specifies the database in which the data used for the processing received by the input receiving unit 112 is stored, the query for acquiring the data from the database, and the like. Information is obtained using a query, and the obtained information is arranged in a template designated in advance, and an electronic document file such as a form, a data file for spreadsheet software, a CSV file, etc. You may acquire as object information.

  Note that the processing unit 113 may perform processing other than the processing for acquiring the target information in accordance with the input received by the input receiving unit 112. For example, a process desired by the user is executed according to the input received by the input receiving unit 112.

  The transmission input reception unit 114 receives a transmission input. The transmission input is an input for transmitting a message. The transmission input is, for example, one or more pieces of target information stored in the target information storage unit 111, and may be an input including designation of target information to be sent in addition to a message. The designation of the target information may be considered as designation of a so-called attached file. The target information is specified using, for example, a file name of the target information, an address of a storage location, or the like. For example, when the output unit 107 outputs information such as the processing result of the processing unit 113 to the screen, the output unit 107 outputs a screen (not shown) for receiving a transmission input, or the target information When the input receiving unit 112 or the like receives input of information specifying a file format or the like, the processing unit 113 acquires information output on the screen as target information and accumulates it in the target information storage unit 111. The transmission input reception unit 114 may receive information specifying the target information stored in the target information storage unit 111 as information specifying the target information to be transmitted. The storage here may be temporary storage. The transmission input may have an instruction to execute transmission.

  The transmission input is, for example, an input having information indicating a message or a message destination. The message is, for example, text or image information as described above. For example, a second user identifier is used as information indicating the message destination. For example, the transmission input receiving unit 114 may receive one or more corresponding user identifiers among the corresponding user identifiers as information indicating a destination of the transmission input. For example, when the transmission input receiving unit 114 receives an operation for specifying one or more corresponding user identifiers out of one or two or more corresponding user identifiers output by the corresponding user output unit 110, the transmission input receiving unit 114 is specified. The corresponding user identifier may be received as information indicating the destination of the message. For example, when the corresponding user output unit 110 outputs a list in which the corresponding user identifiers are arranged as list items, when the operation for specifying one or more list items is received, the specified one or more list items Corresponding user identifiers, for example, corresponding user identifiers arranged in list items, may be received as information indicating the destination of the message.

  The transmission input may further include information indicating the transmission source of the message. The transmission input reception unit 114 may receive, for example, a first user identifier or a second user identifier of a user of the information processing apparatus 1 as information indicating a message transmission source. In addition, the transmission input reception unit 114 indicates, for example, the message transmission source, the first user identifier received by the use reception unit 101 or the second user identifier associated with the first user identifier by the user management information. It may be acquired as information. The acquisition here may be considered as an aspect of accepting input.

  When a message is automatically input when the target information is specified, this automatic message input may be considered as acceptance of the message. Further, when the target information itself is transmitted as a message, the transmission input does not have to include a character string indicating the message.

  The transmission input receiving unit 114 may receive a transmission input having, as a message destination, a second user identifier of a user whose use is not permitted by the usage processing unit 102. For example, a transmission input having a second user identifier that is not stored in any of the user management information as a message destination may be accepted.

  The transmission unit 115 transmits a message to the server device 2 in accordance with the transmission input received by the transmission input reception unit 114. For example, the transmission unit 115 transmits a message accepted by the transmission input. For example, the transmission unit 115 transmits a message to which the target information specified by the transmission input is added to the server device 2 in accordance with the transmission input received by the transmission input reception unit 114. As described above, the message to which the target information is added may be a message to which the target information is attached, or may be a message to which information for acquiring the target information is attached. However, it does not matter how the target information is added to the message.

  For example, the transmission unit 115 transmits a second user identifier indicating a destination included in the transmission input in association with the message. For example, even when the transmission input accepting unit 114 accepts a transmission input having the second user identifier of a user whose use is not permitted by the use processing unit 102 as information indicating a message destination, the transmitting unit 115 Transmits a message in association with the second user identifier, which is information indicating the destination of the transmission input. The transmission unit 115 may further transmit a message having a second user identifier indicating the transmission source of the message included in the transmission input as information indicating the transmission source of the message.

  The server device 2 is a server device that transmits and receives messages. For example, the server device 2 is a server device that transmits and receives messages between one or more information processing devices 1 and one or more terminal devices 3. The message transmission / reception here may be a message transmission / reception to which information is added. The server device 2 is usually realized by a computer.

  The request receiving unit 201 receives access request information. For example, access request information transmitted from the information processing device 1 or the terminal device 3 is received. The request receiving unit 201 receives, for example, access request information transmitted by the request transmitting unit 105 of the information processing device 1 and having the second user identifier of the user who uses the information processing device 1. To do. Further, the request receiving unit 201 is, for example, access request information having a second user identifier transmitted by the terminal device 3, and the access request information having the second user identifier of the user using the terminal device 3. Receive.

  The request receiving unit 201 receives request information. For example, the request receiving unit 201 receives request information transmitted from the information processing device 1 or the terminal device 3. For example, the request reception unit 201 receives request information transmitted from the processing device 1 or the terminal device 3 to which access is permitted.

  As described above, when the access request information or a part thereof is used as request information for requesting a message, reception of the access request information may be considered as reception of request information.

  The request receiving unit 201 receives attachment request information. For example, the request receiving unit 201 receives attachment request information from the terminal device 3. The attachment request information is information for requesting transmission of the target information added to the message transmitted to the terminal device 3. For example, as will be described later, when the server transmission unit 205 transmits a message to which the target information is added according to the request information, the attached request information is not attached to the message. When transmitting a message attached with information for acquiring the added target information, the information processing device 1 or the terminal device 3 used by the user who has received this message This is information transmitted to the server device 2 using information for acquiring the target information. The attachment request information is, for example, information for specifying target information to be transmitted, for example, information having the address information of the target information, a file name, and the like. Alternatively, the attachment request information may include information specifying a message associated with target information to be transmitted, for example. The information indicating the message is, for example, an identifier of the message, and may be information automatically assigned by the message receiving unit or the like when the message is accumulated in the message storage unit 204. Further, the attachment request information may further include an instruction for requesting transmission of the target information, a command, and the like. The attachment request information may be considered as information for requesting download of so-called target information.

  The access processing unit 202 uses the access request information received by the request receiving unit 201 to determine whether or not the user corresponding to the second user identifier included in the access request information can access the server device 2. Access to the server device 2 by the user may be considered as access to the server device 2 by the information processing device 1 or the terminal device 3 used by the user. The access to the server device 2 here refers to transmission / reception of information such as a message to the server device 2, information added to the message, and information for outputting an input / output screen.

  For example, the access processing unit 202 uses the second user identifier included in the access request information to determine whether the user corresponding to the second user identifier can be accessed. For example, whether or not access is possible is determined based on whether or not the second user identifier included in the access request information is stored in a storage unit (not shown) of the server device 2. For example, the access processing unit 202 may determine whether or not the user corresponding to the second user identifier can access the server device 2 using a pair of the second user identifier and password included in the access request information. . For example, the access processing unit 202 performs an authentication process or the like by using a second user identifier included in the access request information received by the request receiving unit 201 or a combination of the second user identifier and a password. It is determined whether or not the user indicated by the user identifier is permitted to access the server device 2. Permitting access by the user indicated by the second user identifier included in the access request information may be considered to permit access by the information processing device 1 or the terminal device 3 that transmitted the access request information. Since a process for determining whether access is possible using an authentication process or the like is a known technique, a detailed description thereof is omitted here. For example, when access is permitted, the access processing unit 202 performs access permission processing similar to that of a normal server device. For example, when access is permitted when the server device and the information processing device 1 or the terminal device 3 are connected via the Internet or the like, the access processing unit 202 causes the information processing device 1 or the terminal device 3 to be permitted. An instruction for permitting transmission / reception of information with respect to the IP address of the user, an instruction for establishing a connection to the permitted information processing apparatus 1 or terminal apparatus 3, for example, an instruction for establishing a session, are sent to the server message receiving unit 203 or the server transmitting unit 205. Or the like.

  When the access processing unit 202 permits access, the server transmission unit 205 or the like has permitted access to the authorized user, for example, the information processing device 1 or the terminal device 3 used by the authorized user. Information such as a message or a screen may be transmitted.

  In addition, for example, when access is once permitted, the access processing unit 202 may continuously permit the information processing device 1 or the terminal device 3 that has been permitted to access for a certain or indefinite period of time. When access from the information processing device 1 or the terminal device 3 does not have a fixed or indefinite time, the access may be changed to be impossible. Since this is the same as the normal access permission process, a detailed description is omitted here.

  The server message receiving unit 203 receives a message. For example, the server message receiving unit 203 receives a message transmitted from the information processing device 1 or the terminal device 3 used by the user permitted to access by the access processing unit 202. For example, the server message receiving unit 203 receives a message transmitted via the connection between the server device 2 established by the access processing unit 202 permitting access and the terminal device 3 used by the user. The server message receiving unit 203 normally receives information indicating one or more destinations together with a message. The information indicating the destination is, for example, a second user identifier indicating the user who is the destination. The server message receiving unit 203 may receive a message to which information other than the message is added, for example, a message to which the above-described target information is added. For example, the server message receiving unit 203 may receive information indicating the transmission source such as the second user identifier of the user who is the transmission source together with the message. The server message receiving unit 203 may receive information other than the above. For example, information indicating the title of the message and information indicating the date and time of transmission of the message may be received together with the message.

  The server message receiving unit 203 accumulates the received message in the message storage unit 204. The server message receiving unit 203 normally stores the received message and information indicating one or more destinations such as a destination user identifier in the message storage unit 204 in association with each other. The server message reception unit 203 associates the received message with information indicating the transmission source of the message, for example, the transmission source user identifier that is the second user identifier of the user that is the transmission source, and the message storage unit 204. To accumulate. The information indicating the transmission source may be, for example, the second user identifier of the transmission source user received by the server message reception unit 203 in association with the message described above. In addition, the information indicating the transmission source is transmitted through a connection established between the server device 2 and the terminal device 3 when the message is permitted to be accessed by the access processing unit 202, for example. The second user identifier included in the access request information used for determining access permission may be used.

  For example, when the server message receiving unit 203 receives a message to which the target information is added, the server message receiving unit 203 stores the message to which the target information is added in the message storage unit 204. For example, when a message to which target information is attached is received, the message is associated with the target information attached to the message and stored in the message storage unit 204. The server message receiving unit 203 may accumulate other information received together with the message in the message storage unit 204 in further association with the message.

  The message storage unit 204 stores a message received by the server message reception unit 203. Normally, the message storage unit 204 stores a message received by the server message reception unit 203 in association with information indicating one or more destinations such as a second user identifier indicating the destination. The message storage unit 204 stores a message and information indicating the transmission source such as the second user identifier of the user who is the transmission source in association with each other. The message storage unit 204 stores, for example, a message to which target information is added. Further, the message storage unit 204 may store other information received together with the message in further association with the message.

  The server transmission unit 205 acquires a message associated with the second user identifier corresponding to the request information received by the request reception unit 201 from the message storage unit 204. For example, when the request information includes the second user identifier, a message associated with the second user identifier is acquired from the message storage unit 204 by searching or the like. Further, the request information received by the request receiving unit 201 is transmitted from the information processing device 1 or the terminal device 3 used by the user who is permitted to access the server device 2 to the information processing device 1 or the terminal device 3 and the server device 2. Server transmission unit 205, for example, the access request information used for the determination for obtaining the access permission, the request information transmitted through the connection established according to the access permission A message associated with the second user identifier included in the message storage unit 204 may be acquired.

  The server transmission unit 205 transmits the acquired message to the information processing device 1 or the terminal device 3. For example, the server transmission unit 205 transmits the acquired message to the information processing device 1 or the terminal device 3 that transmitted the request information. The server transmission unit 205 may acquire and transmit the message with the target information added. The message to which the target information transmitted by the server transmission unit 205 is added may be a message to which the target information is attached, or may be a message to which information for acquiring the target information is attached.

  The message with the target information attached may be, for example, a message in which the target information is embedded, or a message transmitted together with the target information. For example, the server transmission unit 205 may acquire the target information associated with the message and stored in the message storage unit 204 and transmit it together with the message. Attachment of the target information is the same as attachment of a file or the like in a normal electronic mail, so-called attachment file, and description thereof is omitted here. The same applies to attachment of information for acquiring target information.

  The information for acquiring the target information is, for example, information having link information for the target information and information that can specify the target information to be acquired. The information for which the target information can be specified includes, for example, the address information in which the target information is stored, the identifier of the target information such as a file name that can specify the target information to be acquired, and the identifier of the message associated with the target information Etc. Further, the information for acquiring the target information may include an instruction or a command for requesting transmission of the target information to the apparatus storing the target information, such as the server apparatus 2 for transmitting the target information. good. The information for acquiring the target information may include a button for requesting the target information added to the message, an icon of the target information, and the like. For example, when the message storage unit 204 stores one message to which the target information is attached, the server transmission unit 205 does not transmit the attached target information to the user when transmitting the one message. Thus, a message in which information for specifying the target information and a button or the like for accepting an instruction for requesting transmission of the target information may be transmitted to the user.

  The server transmission unit 205 may add information such as a flag indicating that the message has been transmitted to the post-transmission message stored in the message storage unit 204.

  In addition, the server transmission unit 205 acquires target information specified by the attachment request information received by the request reception unit 201, and becomes a user that is the transmission source of the attachment request information, specifically, a transmission source of the attachment request information. It transmits to the terminal device 3 which a user uses. For example, the server transmission unit 205 reads and transmits the target information of the file name indicated by the attachment request information stored at the location indicated by the address indicated by the attachment request information. Further, for example, the target information attached to the message indicated by the message identifier indicated by the attachment request information and having the file name indicated by the attachment request information may be read from the message storage unit 204 and transmitted.

  When the server transmission unit 205 transmits a message to which the target information is attached when transmitting the message to which the target information is added, the server transmission unit 205 receives the attachment request information by the request reception unit 201 or the server transmission unit 205. Transmission of the target information according to the attachment request information may be omitted.

  The corresponding user identifier storage unit 206 stores one or more corresponding user management information having a transmission source user identifier and a corresponding user identifier. For example, the corresponding user identifier included in one corresponding user management information is the second user identifier of the user related to the user indicated by the transmission source user identifier included in the one corresponding user management table. This is a second user identifier of a user who is a candidate for a transmission destination when the user indicated by the user identifier transmits a message. Corresponding user management information is, for example, information for managing a message transmission destination of a user indicated by a transmission source user identifier, and is information corresponding to an address book used in a so-called SNS or the like. However, the data structure of the corresponding user management information does not matter.

  The process of storing the corresponding user management information in the corresponding user identifier storage unit 206 does not matter. For example, the corresponding user management information transmitted by the user using the information processing device 1 or the terminal device 3 is accumulated in the corresponding user identifier storage unit 206.

  The corresponding user request receiving unit 207 receives corresponding user request information. Specifically, the corresponding user request information transmitted from the information processing device 1 or the terminal device 3 is received.

  The corresponding user transmitting unit 208 stores the corresponding user identifier associated with the second user identifier corresponding to the corresponding user request information received by the corresponding user request receiving unit 207, stored in the corresponding user identifier storage unit 206. Obtain using information. For example, the corresponding user management information having the transmission source user identifier that matches the second user identifier included in the corresponding user request information received by the corresponding user request receiving unit 207 is stored in the corresponding user identifier storage unit 206. The search is performed from the user management information, and the corresponding user identifier included in the detected one or more corresponding user management information is acquired. Alternatively, the corresponding user request receiving unit 207 receives the corresponding user request information transmitted from the information processing device 1 or the terminal device 3 to which access is permitted through a connection established by permitting access. The corresponding user transmission unit 208 stores in the corresponding user identifier storage unit 206 corresponding user management information having a transmission source user identifier that matches the second user identifier included in the access request information used to determine whether access is possible. The corresponding one or more corresponding user management information is searched, and the corresponding user identifier included in the one or more detected corresponding user management information is acquired. Then, the acquired one or more corresponding user identifiers are transmitted to the information processing apparatus 1 that is the transmission source of the corresponding user request information.

  The terminal device 3 is a device used by a user for sending and receiving messages to and from the server device 2, for example. Further, the terminal device 3 may be an input / output terminal that can be used for transmitting and receiving information to and from the information processing device 1. For example, the terminal device 3 is a computer, a portable information terminal such as a tablet terminal, or a multi-function mobile phone such as a so-called smartphone.

  The terminal reception unit 301 receives information such as a message and a second user identifier indicating a message destination. In addition, the terminal reception unit 301 receives, for example, an instruction to transmit request information. Further, the terminal reception unit 301 receives access request information, corresponding user request information, and the like. Further, the terminal reception unit 301 may receive an instruction or the like for displaying the target information added to the message.

  In addition, the terminal reception unit 301 receives, for example, an instruction to transmit attachment request information. For example, when the target information added to the message is not attached to one message received by the terminal receiving unit 303 or the like, and the information for acquiring the target information is attached, the target information The terminal reception unit 301 requests transmission of the target information added to the one message by performing a predetermined operation for requesting the server device 2 to transmit the message to the terminal device 3. An instruction to send attachment request information is accepted. For example, the information processing apparatus 1 in which the server transmission unit 205 uses a button or the like for receiving an instruction for acquiring target information attached to a message, a message in which link information for the target information is arranged, and the like. In the case of transmission to the terminal device 3, the terminal accepting unit 301 causes the terminal accepting unit 301 to operate this button by performing a predetermined operation on the button of the message, link information, or the like, for example, an operation of pressing the button. And an instruction to transmit the attachment request information requesting transmission of the target information corresponding to the link information to the server apparatus 2 is accepted.

  The terminal accepting unit 301 may accept anything such as a keyboard, a touch panel, a mouse, or a menu screen. The terminal reception unit 301 can be realized by a device driver for input means such as a keyboard and a touch panel, control software for a menu screen, and the like.

  The terminal transmission unit 302 transmits information such as request information received by the terminal reception unit 301 and corresponding user request information to the server device 2. Further, when the terminal reception unit 301 receives an instruction to transmit attachment request information, the terminal transmission unit 302 transmits the attachment request information to the server device 2 in response to this instruction.

  The terminal reception unit 303 includes one or more messages transmitted from the server device 2 according to the request information, attachment request information, and corresponding user request information transmitted by the terminal transmission unit 302, one or more target information, One or more corresponding user identifiers are received from the server device 2.

  The terminal display unit 304 displays the message received by the terminal receiving unit 303 and target information on a monitor (not shown). When displaying the target information, display screen data may be acquired using the target information, and the acquired screen data may be displayed. The terminal display unit 304 displays one or more corresponding user identifiers received by the terminal reception unit 303. For example, the terminal display unit 304 displays a list in which one or more received corresponding user identifiers are arranged as list items. For example, when one list item of this list is specified, the corresponding user identifier corresponding to this list item may be received by the terminal receiving unit 301 as the second user identifier indicating the message destination. Further, when the terminal reception unit 301 receives an instruction to display information such as target information added to the message, the terminal display unit 304 may display the information such as target information on a monitor or the like (not shown). .

  The terminal display unit 304 may be considered as including or not including a display device such as a monitor. The terminal display unit 304 can be realized by display device driver software, or display device driver software and a display device.

  The terminal device 3 may include a processing unit (not shown) that performs processing other than the above, a storage unit (not shown) for storing information, and the like.

  Further, when one or more terminal devices 3 are devices that can be used for transmission / reception of information to the information processing device 1, the use reception unit 101, the access request reception unit 104, and the input reception unit 112 of the information processing device 1. The transmission input reception unit 114 receives the information received from the user by the terminal reception unit 301 of the terminal device 3 and the information transmitted by the terminal transmission unit 302 of the terminal device 3. The information received by each unit may be received, that is, received. Further, the terminal reception unit 303 may receive information output from the output unit 107 or the corresponding user output unit 110 of the information processing apparatus 1, and the terminal display unit 304 may display the received information.

Next, an example of the operation of the information processing apparatus 1 will be described using the flowchart of FIG.
(Step S <b> 101) The usage receiving unit 101 determines whether usage request information has been received. If accepted, the process proceeds to step S102. If not accepted, the process returns to step S101.

  (Step S <b> 102) The use processing unit 102 determines whether to permit use of the information processing apparatus 1 using the use request information received in step S <b> 101. When the use is permitted, the process proceeds to step S103, and when the use is not permitted, the process returns to step S101.

  (Step S103) The access request receiving unit 104 receives access request information corresponding to the first user identifier included in the use request information. The access request information to be acquired is, for example, access request information having a set of the user's second user identifier and password indicated by the first user identifier included in the use request information. For example, a second user identifier and a password corresponding to the first user identifier included in the usage request information are acquired using the user management information, and access request information including the second user identifier and the password is acquired.

  (Step S104) The request transmission unit 105 transmits the access request information received in step S103 to the server device 2.

  (Step S105) The message reception unit 106 or the like determines whether information indicating that access is permitted has been received. If received, the process proceeds to step S106, and if not received, the process proceeds to step S109.

  (Step S <b> 106) The request transmission unit 105 acquires request information and transmits it to the server device 2.

  (Step S107) The message receiving unit 106 receives a message to be transmitted from the server device 2 in accordance with the request information transmitted in Step S106. The received message is accumulated in a storage unit (not shown).

  (Step S108) The output unit 107 outputs the number of messages received in step S107. If the message cannot be received in step S107, the process of step S108 may be omitted and the process may proceed to step S109. Information indicating that there is a received message may be output instead of the number of messages.

  (Step S109) The output unit 107 determines whether or not to output the message accepted in step S108. For example, when the input reception unit 112 or a reception unit (not shown) receives an instruction to output a received message, the output unit 107 determines to output the message. When outputting, it progresses to step S110, and when not outputting, it may progress to step S112. If there is no received message, the process may proceed to step 112.

  (Step S110) The output unit 107 outputs the message received in step S108. The output unit 107 outputs a list of messages having a part of the message received in step S108, the title, the transmission source, and the like as list items, and one item of this list is received by the input receiving unit 112. When selected by an operation or the like, a message corresponding to the selected item may be output.

  (Step S111) The output unit 107 determines whether or not to end the output of the message. For example, when an operation to end output is received from the input receiving unit 112 or the like, the output is ended and the process returns to step S109. When an operation to end is not received, the process may return to step S111. In the case where an operation to end is not received, for example, when an operation for outputting another message in the above list is received, another message may be output.

  (Step S112) The input receiving unit 112 determines whether or not an input for causing the processing unit 113 to perform a desired process has been received. This input may be, for example, an instruction or an instruction, or may be information used for processing. If accepted, the process proceeds to step S113. If not accepted, the process proceeds to step S114. Note that the information received here may be an input for acquiring the target information.

  (Step S113) The processing unit 113 performs processing according to the input received in step S112. For example, when an input for acquiring target information is received in step S <b> 112, the target information is acquired and the acquired target information is accumulated in the target information storage unit 111. In addition, information obtained by the processing by the processing unit 113 may be output to the screen.

  (Step S114) The transmission input receiving unit 114 determines whether or not to accept a transmission input. For example, when an operation for accepting a transmission input or an instruction to output a screen for accepting the input is accepted, it is determined to accept the transmission input. If acceptance is to be made, the process proceeds to step S115. If not, the process proceeds to step S118.

  (Step S115) The corresponding user request unit 108 determines whether to transmit corresponding user request information. For example, when the input receiving unit 112 or the like receives an instruction or the like for transmitting the corresponding user request information, the corresponding user request unit 108 determines to transmit the corresponding request information. When transmitting, response request information is transmitted to the server apparatus 2, and it progresses to step S116, and when not transmitting, it progresses to step S118.

  (Step S116) The corresponding user receiving unit 109 receives one or more corresponding user identifiers transmitted from the server device 2 in accordance with the corresponding user request information transmitted in Step S115.

  (Step S117) The corresponding user output unit 110 outputs the corresponding user identifier received in step S116. Here, a list in which the received corresponding user identifiers are arranged is output. If it is determined in step S116 that access to the server device 2 is not permitted, the corresponding user identifier cannot be received after a predetermined time, etc., the process of step S117 is not performed. The process may proceed to step S118.

  (Step S <b> 118) The transmission input receiving unit 114 receives a transmission input including designation of target information stored in the target information storage unit 111. For example, when the processing unit 113 outputs one piece of information on the screen and receives an operation for receiving a transmission input or an operation for acquiring target information, the processing unit 113 is output on the screen. The target information is acquired for the stored information and accumulated in the target information storage unit 111. And the transmission input reception part 114 may receive the transmission input containing designation | designated of this object information. In addition, the transmission input receiving unit 114 receives, for example, an input message as a message constituting the transmission input. Further, the transmission input receiving unit 114 receives one or more second user identifiers as information indicating the destination of the message. For example, when one or more items in the list output in step S117 are selected, the transmission input receiving unit 114 transmits a second user identifier that is a corresponding user identifier associated with the selected item. You may accept as information which shows the address which constitutes input. In step S112, when the processing unit 113 acquires and the output unit 107 receives an instruction to acquire target information for the information output on the screen, the processing unit 113 outputs to the screen in step S113. May be acquired and accumulated in the target information storage unit 111, and the process may further proceed to step S114 or step S118 to accept a transmission input including designation of the target information.

  (Step S119) The transmission unit 115 transmits a message associated with the information indicating the destination to the server device 2 in accordance with the transmission input received in step S118. The message transmitted here is, for example, a message in which one or more pieces of target information designated by the transmission input are associated.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 2, every time a fixed or indefinite time elapses, the process of transmitting request information and receiving a message may be performed in parallel with the processes after step S109 described above. .

  In the flowchart of FIG. 2, the process is terminated by powering off or a process termination interrupt.

Next, an example of operation | movement of the server apparatus 2 is demonstrated using the flowchart of FIG.
(Step S201) The request receiving unit 201 determines whether access request information has been received. If received, the process proceeds to step S202. If not received, the process proceeds to step S203.

  (Step S202) Using the access request information received in step S201, the access processing unit 202 determines whether or not the user indicated by the second user identifier included in the access request information is accessible. If access is possible, the access processing unit 202 establishes a connection with the information processing device 1 or the terminal device 3 that is the transmission source of the access request information, for example. For example, the access processing unit 202 establishes a session. Further, the access processing unit 202 stores the second user identifier included in the access request information received in step S201 in a storage unit (not shown) or the like in association with information indicating the established connection. For example, the access processing unit 202 accumulates in association with a session identifier or the like.

  (Step S203) Whether or not the server message receiving unit 203 has received a message or the like associated with the second user identifier indicating the destination from the information processing device 1 or the terminal device 3 permitted to access in Step S202. Judging. If received, the process proceeds to step S204. If not received, the process proceeds to step S205. The received message may be a message to which target information is attached.

  (Step S204) The server message receiving unit 203 stores the message received in step S203 in the message storage unit 204 in association with the second user identifier indicating the destination. Then, the process returns to step S201.

  (Step S205) The request reception unit 201 determines whether or not request information has been received from the information processing apparatus 1 or the terminal apparatus 3 that is permitted to be accessed in step S202. If received, the process proceeds to step S206. If not received, the process proceeds to step S207.

  (Step S206) The server transmission unit 205 reads a message corresponding to the request information received in step S205 from the message storage unit 204, and transmits the message to the information processing apparatus 1 or the terminal apparatus 3 that transmitted the request information. For example, when the request information is transmitted to the server device 2 via a connection established with the information processing device 1 to which access is permitted, the access request information used for determining whether or not access is possible has. A message or the like associated with the second user identifier is transmitted. As a result, when searching for a message, it is sufficient that a message associated with the second user identifier included in the access request information used to determine whether access is permitted can be transmitted. The second user identifier itself included in the access request information provided may not be used as a search key. Further, when the target information is attached to the message to be transmitted, for example, the server transmission unit 205 does not return the target information together with the message, but adds the target information having the file name of the target information to the message. Information for acquisition is associated and transmitted. Then, the process returns to step S201.

  (Step S207) The request reception unit 201 determines whether or not attachment request information has been received from the information processing apparatus 1 or the terminal device 3 that is permitted to be accessed in step S202. If received, the process proceeds to step S208. If not received, the process proceeds to step S209.

  (Step S208) The server transmission unit 205 reads the target information corresponding to the attachment request information received in Step S207 from the message storage unit 204, and transmits it to the user who transmitted the attachment request information. Then, the process returns to step S201.

  (Step S209) The corresponding user request receiving unit 207 determines whether corresponding user request information has been received from the information processing device 1 or the terminal device 3 to which access is permitted in Step S202. If received, the process proceeds to step S210. If not received, the process returns to step S201.

  (Step S210) The corresponding user transmission unit 208 stores the corresponding user identifier associated with the transmission source user identifier that matches the second user identifier corresponding to the corresponding user request information, stored in the corresponding user identifier storage unit 206. The acquired corresponding user identifier is acquired from the user management information, and is transmitted to the user who transmitted the corresponding user request information. For example, when the corresponding user request information is transmitted to the server device 2 via a connection established with the information processing device 1 to which access is permitted, the access request information used for determining whether access is possible. The corresponding user identifier associated with the transmission source user identifier that matches the second user identifier included in the corresponding user identifier is acquired from the corresponding user management information stored in the corresponding user identifier storage unit 206, and the acquired corresponding user identifier is determined as the corresponding user. Sent to the user who sent the request information. Then, the process returns to step S201.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 3, the process ends when the power is turned off or the process is terminated.

Hereinafter, an example of the operation of the terminal device 3 will be briefly described.
When the terminal reception unit 301 receives the access request information input by the user, the terminal transmission unit 302 transmits the received access request information to the server device 2. When the terminal reception unit 301 receives a message or a message associated with the second user identifier indicating the message destination, the terminal transmission unit 302 transmits the message and the second user identifier to the server device 2. . When the terminal reception unit 301 receives request information, corresponding user request information, and the like, the terminal transmission unit 302 transmits the information to the server device 2. When the terminal reception unit 301 receives an instruction to transmit the attachment request information, the terminal transmission unit 302 transmits the attachment request information to the server device 2.
