Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an information transmitting device used for transmitting information by a message communication method, an e-mail method, or the like.

(Conventional technology and its problems) In office information systems and advanced information and communication services that will develop in the future, it is important to provide the necessary information to the necessary people, and to understand the content and attributes of the information required by the receiving side (for example, It is desirable to appropriately select and distribute information based on keywords and names that indicate content, degree of security, various data regarding information sources, etc.). With conventional information transmission devices that transmit and distribute information using messages between computers and e-mail, users must individually specify a destination address for each piece of information, indicating where and to whom the information is to be sent. It was hot. This means that the user must first understand the content of the information to be sent, then select an appropriate destination and specify the destination address. In this case, the burden of investigating and selecting who and where the information is needed arises. Furthermore, it is largely up to the individual user to decide where and to whom to send the information, and there is a drawback that the necessary information is not necessarily sent exactly to the necessary places. In addition, with conventional information transmitting devices, if the conditions of the information to be transmitted are changed due to a request from the destination, the destination must contact the user of the information transmitting device by telephone, etc., and the conditions change. Communicating requests was troublesome.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to appropriately select a destination that requires the information based on the attributes of the transmitted information, and transmit the information, while burdening the user with selecting and determining who needs the information. An object of the present invention is to provide an information transmitting device that can reduce the amount of information transmitted, and furthermore, can change conditions regarding information to be transmitted in accordance with a request from a destination.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, an information transmitting device provided by the present invention includes a transmission information buffer that stores transmission information, and an attribute value that stores attribute values of the transmission information. a destination table that stores records including a buffer, a conditional expression expressed as a logical expression of the attribute value, and a destination address predetermined corresponding to the conditional expression; and the conditional expression is stored in the attribute value buffer. selecting means for selecting a record from the destination table that is satisfied by the attribute value specified in the transmission information buffer; a receiving means for receiving change information transmitted by the destination and consisting of a destination address and a new conditional expression; The present invention is characterized by comprising a changing means for changing the conditional expression of the record stored in the destination table to the new conditional expression.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described using the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. In this figure, 1 is a transmission information buffer that stores transmission information, 2 is an attribute value buffer that stores attribute values of transmission information, and 3 is a destination table that stores records including conditional expressions 31 and destination addresses 32. Conditional expression 31 is, for example, A='OA meeting minutes'(A='OA study materials')∩(B='OA
It is expressed in a general theoretical formula such as 'Business Department Confidential'). Here, A (title of the document to be distributed) and B (secret classification) indicate an example of attributes added to the transmitted information. Reference numeral 4 denotes a selection means for selecting a record from the destination table 3 for which the conditional expression 31 is satisfied by the attribute value stored in the attribute value buffer 2. For example, as the attribute value of the transmission information, A is 'OA
If you give 'Meeting Minutes' and 'Confidential' to B, then 'A='OA
``Meeting Minutes''' becomes true, and ``(A='OA Study Materials')∩(B='OA Business Department Confidential')'' becomes false. The selection means 4 evaluates the conditional expression 31 and selects only records for which the result is true, and does not select records for which the result is false. 5 is a transmission means for transmitting the transmission information stored in the transmission information buffer 1 to the destination 6 specified by the destination address included in the selected record, and 7 is a transmission means for transmitting the transmission information stored in the transmission information buffer 1 to the destination 6 designated by the destination address included in the selected record; A receiving unit 8 receives information, and a changing unit 8 changes a conditional expression of a record stored in the destination table 3 containing the same destination address as the destination address of the received change information to a new conditional expression.

Next, the operation in this embodiment will be explained.

When transmitting transmission information, first, the transmission information is stored in the transmission information buffer 1, and the attribute value of the transmission information is stored in the attribute value buffer 2, and then the selection means 4
reads the attribute value stored in attribute value buffer 2. Furthermore, the selection means 4 sequentially reads out all records stored from the destination table 3, evaluates the conditional expression 31, selects all records for which the result is true, and sends them to the transmission means 5 in order. The transmitting means 5, which has received the record selected by the selecting means 4, transmits the transmission information stored in the transmission information buffer 1 to the destination 6 indicated by the destination address in the record.

On the other hand, upon receiving the change information transmitted by the destination 6, the receiving means 7 sends the contents to the change means 8.
The changing means 8 reads a record containing the same destination address as the destination address of the changed information from the destination table 3, rewrites the conditional expression of the record with a new conditional expression of the changed information, and stores it in the original position of the destination table 3.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, in the present invention, conditions regarding the information required by the receiving side are stored in advance, and the attribute value given to the information to be sent automatically selects the destination that satisfies the conditions. Select and send information. Therefore, the information transmitting device of the present invention is capable of appropriately selecting a destination that requires information and transmitting the information, and at the time of transmitting the information, it can be used to select and determine who and where the information is needed. This can reduce the burden on people. Furthermore, the device of the present invention can change the conditions regarding the information to be transmitted in response to a request from the destination, and therefore can flexibly respond to changes in the information required by the receiving side.
