Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an information management system for creating a list of people who have exchanged information.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a business society in Japan, business cards are frequently exchanged in human-to-human exchanges. When business cards are received through such exchanges, it is necessary to collectively manage the received business cards.

[0003] For this management, it is common to organize and store each business card. In recent years, with the spread of personal computers, the contents of business cards have been input as electronic data into personal computers or the like to create business lists. In this case, it is considered that the contents of the business card are read by an OCR (Optical Character Reader) or the like, and the contents are recorded on a personal computer to create a name list. However, this is not practical because there are many reading errors. The contents of the business card include, for example, a name, a company name, an affiliation, a post, and a company contact.

When a directory is created using the personal computer described above, not only the contents described on the business card but also personal contact information (address, telephone number, etc.) concerning each person.
It is preferable to record such information in terms of convenience.

[0005] When there is an exchange that does not use a business card, each person listens to various information from the person who has interacted with him,
The information is written in a notebook or input to a personal computer.

[0006]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, as a job transfer, promotion, job change, relocation, etc. may occur with the passage of years,
Company name, affiliation, job title, company contact information, personal contact information, etc. may change. Also, your name may change with marriage.

If such a content change occurs, the contents of the list become invalid even if the list is created. Therefore, it is necessary to change the contents of the list over time. In such a case, in the past, it is needless to say that the person who owns the list must wait for the other party to notify the content change and rewrite the attribute content based on the notified change content or input operation. It is pointed out that this work is quite troublesome. Of course, if there is no notification of content change, the subsequent exchange may be interrupted.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an information management system that enables a list to be easily created. Another object of the present invention is to provide an information management system that enables the contents of a list to be easily changed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in FIGS.

1 and 2 relate to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of an information management system.
FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram showing a form of communication between a server and a client. The information management system here is, for example, a client-server type or peer-to-peer type LAN (Lo
cal Area Network), WAN (Wide Area Network) and the like.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a server as an information registration device;
Reference numerals 2A to 2N denote clients as information processing devices, and 3 denotes a communication line such as a telephone line.

The server 1 includes a communication unit 11 such as a modem for communicating with the clients 2A to 2N via the communication line 3.
Storage device 12 in which various human attribute data is recorded and held
And a control unit 13 that executes various processes described below. The control unit 13 registers the attribute data of the requester in response to the registration request and issues and notifies a unique number (ID: identity) to be assigned to the requester;
At least changing the registered attribute data in response to the change request. The above attribute data is
The name, company name,
Affiliation, title, company contact, personal contact (address, telephone number, etc.).

The clients 2A to 2N include input devices 21A to 21N such as a keyboard, reading devices 22A to 22N for reading magnetic data and bar codes, and a communication unit 23A such as a modem for communicating with the server 1 via the communication line 3. ~
23N, storage devices 24A to 24N for storing a list of required formats in which various human attribute data are arranged, and control units 25A to 25N for executing various processes described below. The above-described control units 25A to 25N
A process of requesting registration of attribute data to the server, a process of requesting the server 1 to change registered attribute data, and extracting attribute data corresponding to the unique number from the server 1 based on a required unique number, At least a process of creating a list in a required format and a process of changing the contents of the list created already are executed.

Next, the operation of the information management system will be described.

First, various humans communicate with the clients 2A to 2A.
N requests the server 1 to register its own attribute data, and when the attribute data is input from the clients 2A to 2N, the attribute data is transmitted to the server 1 and registered. Thereafter, the server 1 transmits the unique numbers assigned to the registration requesters to the clients 2A to 2N.

Each person who has been registered in this way assigns a unique number issued and notified from the server 1 to, for example, a business card owned by the person in the form of, for example, a magnetic tape or a bar code.

Then, when an exchange occurs between the above-mentioned persons and exchanges business cards, the third party who has received the business cards creates a list using the clients 2A to 2N. That is, first, the third party uses the clients 2A to 2N to send the server 1
Is requested to extract attribute data from the client 2 and a unique number is input from the clients 2A to 2N, the corresponding attribute data is downloaded from the server 1 to the clients 2A to 2N. Thereby, the clients 2A to 2N
The attribute data downloaded from the server 1 is written in a list of required formats.

By the way, when at least one of the attributes related to a person described in the list, such as a name, a company name, an affiliation, a post, a company contact, or an individual contact, is changed, the person is changed to the client 2A to 2N. From the server 1 to change the attribute data registered in the server 1. That is, first, the person who performs the change procedure is the client 2A-2.
N requests the server 1 to change its own attribute data and inputs the attribute data to be changed from the clients 2A to 2N, the attribute data to be changed is transmitted to the server 1, and the already registered attribute data Is rewritten.

At an arbitrary time, each person communicates with the server 1 from the clients 2A to 2N, and
A query is made as to whether or not there is any change in the attribute data relating to the person described in the list held in each of A to 2N. As a result of this inquiry, if any of the attribute data of each person registered in the server 1 has been changed, the changed attribute data is downloaded from the server 1 to the clients 2A to 2N, and 2A-2
The corresponding attribute data in the list held by N is rewritten.

As described above, when a person whose attribute data is registered in the server 1 exchanges a business card with a third party and hands over the business card, the third party uses the unique number described on the business card. A list in which the attribute data registered in the server 1 is described can be created easily and quickly without troublesome work. As described above, since the contents of the business card and the attribute data not described in the list are extracted from the server 1 by the third party, the person who passed the business card can
This eliminates the need to individually report the attributes of the user to a third party, thereby reducing waste.

Also, each human being simply keeps a change procedure for the server 1 when his / her attribute is changed, so that the person who holds the list can easily and without troublesome work. It will be possible to quickly and semi-permanently recognize the backgrounds and contacts of interacting people, including the ability to quickly create updated rosters. As described above, when it is necessary to change the contents of the name list, the changed attribute data is extracted from the server 1.
When each person changes his or her attributes, all the people do not need to notify the person of the attribute change of all the exchanges, and the trouble and cost required for the communication can be saved.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to only the above-described embodiment, and various applications and modifications are conceivable.

(1) In the above embodiment, the unique number notified from the server 1 is given to the business card in the form of, for example, a magnetic tape or a bar code. With regard to, a unique number may be given by several or ten-odd digits or letters with visibility and optically read, and for example, data such as a business card may be stored in a disposable IC card. You may. Further, in the above embodiment, since each person owns the client 2A to 2N, it is conceivable that each person exchanges via the client 2A to 2N. Alternatively, data including the unique number may be exchanged. Even with this, the third party can create a list based on the unique number of the partner with whom the third party has interacted.

(2) In the above embodiment, the clients 2A to 2N are described as being owned by each person. However, the clients 2A to 2N are assumed to be installed in, for example, a convenience store or a public facility. can do. In this case, the clients 2A to 2N have write / read functions for various storage media such as an IC card, a CD (compact disk), and an MD (mini disk), and a list created by the clients 2A to 2N. May be recorded in the storage medium described above. Also,
In this case, the registration or change of the attribute of each person with respect to the server 1 may be performed using a communication device such as a mail or a telephone, in addition to the above-described mode using the clients 2A to 2N. .

(3) In the above embodiment, the server 1 is described as a single server. However, as shown in FIG. 3, a configuration including a plurality of servers 1A to 1N can be adopted. For example, the servers 1 can be provided at a plurality of places such as public facilities at the prefectural office, and communication between the servers 1 may be managed by a unique number of the server 1 or the like. In this case, a unique number for identifying the server 1 is added to the unique number issued by the server 1 in addition to the information for identifying the registrant. Furthermore, various companies, organizations, and the like may own the server 1 and communicate with each client through communication on the Internet. In this case, for example, the operator does not access the server side each time, but simply activates the client, and the unique number of the person described in the list held by the client and the person Reads the unique number of the server from the unique number of the server in which the attribute is registered, selects the server to be contacted, accesses the server, and retrieves the corresponding attribute data of the person from the selected server. Can be provided.
