The e-mail device of the present invention includes at least text documents,
In an e-mail device that can distribute documents corresponding to a bulletin board code specified by a requester by managing a plurality of documents consisting of images, sounds, etc. in association with a specific predetermined bulletin board code, respectively. A first storage section that temporarily stores a document to be posted at the time of a bulletin board registration request, and a second storage section in which the document to be posted is registered; The bulletin board code and bulletin board expiration date data of the document scheduled to be posted are stored in the storage section, and the document scheduled to be posted in the first storage section is stored in the second storage section by detecting the expiry date data. The document management means registers a document scheduled to be posted from the first storage unit into the second storage unit. a registration device that deletes a document registered in a second storage unit; a deletion device that stores a specified bulletin board code and bulletin board expiration date data of the document scheduled to be posted; The bulletin board expiration date management device sends a request signal to the registration device or the deletion device to register or delete a document to be posted corresponding to the bulletin board code when the deletion date and time comes.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of an e-mail device showing one embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, an e-mail device 1 according to the present embodiment includes a communication control device 15 that controls functions of receiving documents (electronic documents consisting of text, images, audio, etc.) from a terminal device and distributing documents to the terminal device. , an existing bulletin board function consisting of a mail control device 16 that controls the existing mail function, a document memory 71 that stores documents, and a bulletin board management memory 72 that manages and stores document reference information in the document memory 71 in accordance with bulletin board codes. a bulletin board control device 17 that controls the bulletin board, a bulletin board buffer memory 11 that temporarily stores bulletin board documents when a bulletin board registration request is made, and a bulletin board registration device 12 that registers documents from the bulletin board buffer memory 11 to the original bulletin board.
, a bulletin board deletion device N13 that deletes documents from the bulletin board, and a bulletin board code 5 input and designated by the bulletin board registration requester and expiration date information, and at the specified date and time, a bulletin board buffer memory is sent to the bulletin board registration device iF12. The bulletin board expiration date management device 14 makes a request for registration processing on a designated bulletin board from 11 and requests the bulletin board deletion device 13 to perform bulletin board deletion processing.

Next, the operations from registration to deletion in this embodiment will be explained step by step.

First, a registration requester makes a bulletin board registration request to the e-mail device 1 via a line. At this time, the registration requester provides a registered bulletin board code as a parameter, and a registration execution date and time and a deletion execution date and time as bulletin board expiration dates. These service requests are accepted by the communication control device 15. The communication control device 15 analyzes services, checks parameters, and controls sending and receiving documents. If the service request is for a normal mail service, the service parameters and documents are sent to the mail control device 16.
The existing mail processing is performed. Here, since the service request is bulletin board registration processing, the parameters analyzed by the communication control device 15, registered bulletin board code, registration execution date and time information, and deletion execution date and time information are sent to the bulletin board expiration date management device 14 together with the registration request information. , and the document is sent to the bulletin board buffer memory 11. The bulletin board buffer memory 11 can store a plurality of documents, and their management information is notified to the bulletin board expiration date management device 14. The bulletin board expiration date management device 14 manages the management information from the bulletin board buffer memory 11, the registered bulletin board code, registration execution date and time information, and deletion implementation date and time information from the communication control device 15 in association with each other. The bulletin board expiration date management device 14 monitors the date and time information. First, when the current time and the registration execution date and time are the same, the bulletin board code and the bulletin board buffer memory 11
The management information is sent to the bulletin board registration device 12, and a formal bulletin board registration request is requested. The bulletin board registration device 12 transfers the document in the bulletin board buffer memory 11 to the bulletin board management device 17 based on the information from the bulletin board expiration date management device 14.
Controls transfer to. Bulletin board management device 17 stores documents in document memory 71 and updates document reference information in bulletin board management memory 72.

Next, when the current time becomes the same as the deletion execution date and time in the time monitoring of the bulletin board expiration date management device 14, the bulletin board code is sent to the bulletin board deletion device 13 to request deletion of the corresponding bulletin board. The bulletin board deletion device 13 deletes the document from the document memory 71 of the bulletin board management device 17 and the management information of the corresponding bulletin board from the bulletin board management memory 72 based on the information from the bulletin board expiration date management device 14.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention makes it possible to specify the posting expiration date consisting of the registration date and time and the deletion date and time when making a document registration request. There is no need for the requester to wait at the registration time and deletion time to make a registration request and deletion request, and the requester can make a single request before the registration time.
