In such cases, in order to improve the reliability of the information itself, upon completion of the input of the information, the already input information is redisplayed on the homepage, and the validity of the information is confirmed by the information input person's own subjective judgment Was to do under.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION As described above, since conventional confirmation of profile information is left to the subjective judgment of the information input person, the reliability of the input profile information may be lacking. . Factors that lower the reliability in this way include erroneous operations and erroneous recognition resulting from the human work of the information input person himself.

[0004] However, conventionally, no objective confirmation work such as verification of validity of information for removing such negative factors has been performed.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and uses the interactive nature of the Internet to obtain an address, a telephone number, a postal code, and the like as profile information from an information input person on a homepage. In this case, an object of the present invention is to provide a profile information collation method and a system thereof capable of improving the reliability of profile information to be obtained.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, according to the present invention, a profile input to an information input form provided on a homepage via a network is provided. The information is checked for suitability of the input profile information using at least one of the correspondence between the address and the postal code, the correspondence between the postal code and the telephone number, and the correspondence between the telephone number and the address. That is the gist.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, when an address, a telephone number, a postal code, and the like are obtained as profile information from an information input person on a home page on the Internet, the correlation of the information is used every time the information is input. In order to confirm the validity of the information and if the input information is not valid, to present the invalid information to the information input person and to modify the profile information in both directions until the input information is valid, The reliability of the finally obtained profile information is improved.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, profile information is input to a display means for displaying a homepage obtained via the Internet and an information input form provided on the homepage displayed on the display means. Abstract: An input means and a collation means for collating the appropriateness of the input profile information based on a correspondence relationship between any two of an address, a postal code, and a telephone number among the profile information input by the input means. And

According to the second aspect of the present invention, an address, a telephone number, an address, a telephone number, and the like of the profile information input by the information inputting person using the inputting means on a homepage obtained through the Internet displayed on the display means. When acquiring a postal code, etc., the validity of the information is checked using the correlation of the information every time the information is input by the collation means, and if the input information is not valid, the invalid information is displayed to the information input person It is possible to modify the profile information bidirectionally until it is presented using means and the input information is valid,
The reliability of the finally obtained profile information is improved.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the collating means of the second aspect of the present invention, at least a dictionary for describing a correspondence between an address and a postal code and a correspondence between a postal code and a telephone number are stored. The gist is that any one of a dictionary to be described and a dictionary to describe a correspondence between a telephone number and an address is added.

[0011]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a profile information collating method according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, a keyboard which constitutes at least an input means and a client terminal 1 which is a personal computer having a CRT display as a display means and a communication function are provided on the client side, and a keyboard which constitutes at least an input means is provided on the server side. A server-side terminal 3 including a CRT display as a display unit, a personal computer 3a having a communication function, and a collation terminal 3b having a profile information collation function is prepared.

Further, the Internet is used as a network, and the communication function can be set arbitrarily as long as it can perform two-way communication via the Internet.

Next, referring to FIGS. 2 to 5, a name, an address, and a Japanese-language input form provided on a homepage shown in FIG. 4 are provided via the Internet as a network. A case where predetermined items such as a postal code and a telephone number are input will be described.

First, an example in which a postal code and a telephone number are used as information to be collated with paired input address information will be described with reference to FIG.

The information input person inputs postal code IM, telephone number IT and address IA from client terminal 1 as input information. Based on the input postal code IM, an address corresponding to the postal code IM is extracted from the postal code-address dictionary database 11 which functions as a dictionary capable of determining an address based on the postal code, and further, an address list ( From zip code 13 is created and sent to the first matching processing unit 15. This first collation processing unit 15
Then, the address list (From postal code) 13 is collated with the previously input address IA, and the collation result (rejected or matched) is sent to the discrimination processing unit 23.

Also, based on the telephone number IT, the telephone number IT can be obtained from the telephone number-address dictionary database 17 which functions as a dictionary capable of determining an address based on the telephone number.
Is extracted, and an address list (From)
A telephone number 19 is created and sent to the second matching processing unit 21. The second matching processing unit 21 performs a matching process between the address list (From telephone number) 19 and the previously input address IA, and sends the matching result to the discrimination processing unit 23. It is needless to say that the postal code-address dictionary database 11 and the telephone number-address dictionary database 17 can also perform a so-called reverse lookup in which a postal code or a telephone number is determined from an address.

The discrimination processing section 23 receives the collation results from the first collation processing section 15 and the second collation processing section 21 and
When it is indicated that the input address IA is not listed in the address list in one of the comparison results, the input information is determined to be incorrect and invalid, and the invalid information 25 is output.

At this time, when the first collation processing unit 15 indicates that there is no publication (rejection) and the second collation processing unit 21 presents that there is publication (matching), the input mail It is determined that the number IM is incorrect. When the first collation processing section 15 indicates that there is a publication and the second collation processing section 21 indicates that there is no publication, it is determined that there is an error in the input telephone number IT. You. Further, when the first collation processing unit 15 indicates that there is no publication, and the second collation processing unit 21 also indicates that there is no publication, it is highly likely that there is an error in the input address IA. Is determined. Therefore,
The information about these invalid parts is attached to the invalid information 25.

Next, an example in which only the postal code is used as the information to be compared with the paired address information will be described with reference to FIG.

The information input person inputs postal code IM and address IA from client terminal 1 as input information. Based on the input postal code IM, an address corresponding to the postal code IM is extracted from the postal code-address dictionary database 11 and an address list (From postal code) 13 is obtained.
Is generated and sent to the first matching processing unit 15A. In the first matching processing unit 15A, the address list (Fro
(m postal code) 13 is compared with the address IA previously entered, and when it is indicated from the result of the comparison (rejected or matched) that the input address IA is not listed in the address list, It determines that the input information has an error and is not valid, and outputs invalid information 25. Then, the display of "Zip code is inconsistent." Is displayed as the invalid information 25 at the corresponding position on the information input form of the display means.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the zip code is displayed on the zip code portion of the profile information input screen at a position that does not overlap the zip code.

Next, an example of profile information collation will be described more specifically with reference to FIG. The zip code IM is input as input information from the client terminal 1 by the information input person.
"100", telephone number IT "03-3729-111"
1 "and the address IA" 1-2-3 Ishikawacho, Ota-ku, Tokyo "are input.

Based on the input postal code “100”, the postal address “100 Marunouchi”, “Otemachi Tokyo” and the local address of the area to which the postal code “100” is assigned from the postal code-address dictionary database 11. "Tokyo Yaesu" is extracted. With this, the address list (From zip code) 13A
Is generated and sent to the first matching processing unit 15.

On the other hand, the address "1-2-3, Ishikawa-cho, Ota-ku, Tokyo" previously inputted is subjected to filtering processing in the filter processing section 27, and the portion necessary for the collation processing with the postal code and telephone number is performed. Is extracted, and the main address data 29 “Ishikawacho, Ota-ku, Tokyo” as the extraction result is output to the first matching processing unit 15 and the second matching processing unit 21.

Next, the first collation processing section 15 stores the address list (From zip code) 13A and the address main part data 2
9 and sends the matching result 15 a “rejected” to the discrimination processing unit 23.

The telephone number IT "03-3729-1"
111 "based on the telephone number versus address dictionary database 17
From the address or area corresponding to the telephone number “03-3729-1111”, that is, “Ishikawacho, Ota-ku, Tokyo”, “Denen-chofu, Ota-ku, Tokyo”, and “Higashiyukigaya, Ota-ku, Tokyo”. . With this, the address list (From
A telephone number 19A is created and sent to the second matching processing unit 21.

In the second collation processing section 21, the address list (From telephone number) 19A and the main address data 29
Then, the matching result 21 a “match” is sent to the determination processing unit 23.

Thereafter, the discrimination processing unit 23 determines the invalid information 2 based on the collation result 15 a “reject” from the first collation processing unit 15 and the collation result a “match” from the second collation processing unit 21.
5. In this case, "The postal code is inconsistent.
Correct this, please. Is displayed on the display screen of the client terminal as a message to the information input person.

As described above, in this embodiment, the postal code IM, telephone number IT, address IA, etc. acquired as profile information are displayed again on the display screen of the client side terminal on the homepage on the Internet, and information input is performed. Prior to having the user subjectively confirm, the address can be determined based on the telephone number in order to objectively confirm the validity of the information by using the correlation of the information for each input of the information. Using a dictionary and / or a dictionary that can determine addresses based on zip codes, an address list that can be identified from the entered phone number and / or an address list that can be identified from the entered zip code Search is performed, and if the address actually entered exists in the address list of the search result, the input data is valid information. Otherwise, it is judged to be invalid information, and if it is judged to be invalid information, the obtained invalid information is presented to the information input person and bidirectional until the input information is valid. Modify the profile information. As a result, negative factors accompanying the subjective judgment can be removed, so that the reliability of the finally obtained profile information can be improved.

In the above embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to a homepage on the Internet has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this.
N, an input / output device, a user interface, and the like.

The above-mentioned telephone number includes not only a telephone number but also a facsimile, etc., and also a representative number (a so-called company number or a transfer service, or a so-called one-number service which has become popular in recent years). Needless to say, it can be handled by replacing the telephone number-address dictionary.

[0033]

As described above, the input is made by using one of the correspondence between the address and the postal code, the correspondence between the postal code and the telephone number, and the correspondence between the telephone number and the address. Improve the reliability of the profile information obtained when obtaining the address, telephone number, postal code, etc. as profile information from the information input person on the homepage on the Internet because the appropriateness of the profile information is checked. This has the effect that it can be performed.
