Abstract

PURPOSE:To decrease widely the number of the characters required for recording on a card which can be used as a business card by registering personal related information such as a name and an address into the file of a center. CONSTITUTION:In a personal information file 45 of a center 50, personal related information such as the name and address of respective persons as a member is registered beforehand. On the other hand, the personal identifying information is given to the card which can be used as a business card. The personal identifying information of the card is sent from a terminal control device 16 equipped for respective members through a telephone trunk line 51 to the center 50. At the center 50, a CPU 43 accesses the personal information file 45, reads the personal related information corresponding to the sent personal identifying information and sends it to a terminal 16. Thus, the number of the characters required for recording on the card which can be used as the business card can be widely decreased.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention commonly registers personal information such as an individual's address and name at a center via a telephone line, and Using personal information, the center will be able to send addresses, customer lists, and greeting cards of related parties as seen from the perspective of a specific person, as well as greetings and other documents to related parties that may be needed at the time of relocation or transfer. This relates to a storage and processing system for personal information that is created in a confidential manner and made available only to the person in question.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, a magnetic medium sheet is attached to a business card, on which the name, company name, address, telephone number, etc. of the person being written is coded and recorded, and the business card is inputted from a terminal by the computer that constitutes the terminal. , this information is stored in the memory of the terminal as a personal database, and by inputting the output selection conditions, you can select and output the necessary items from this database and print address books, etc., and you can also print this business card. There is a known system in which, when inputted into a card reader of a telephone, the information is automatically connected to the holder (see ``Business Card with Magnetic Recording Portion'', Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-65857).

However, there was no known method of sending such personal information (name, address, etc.) to a center via a telephone line for processing. In addition, with the above-mentioned business cards that have a magnetic recording section, there is a limit to the amount of information that can be magnetically recorded on a single business card, and if kanji (approximately 4,000 types) are used and multiple recording is performed to increase reliability. Includes name, address, company, affiliation, telephone number (company, home), fax telephone number,
In addition, it was not possible to record all necessary information.

For this reason, in the conventional method, even if information is encoded and magnetically recorded on a business card, the number of characters and types of kanji that can be used are limited, and the system cannot be fully effective. Also, assuming that such personal information is communicated and processed between the center and the terminal, a high level of confidentiality is required to protect privacy, but conventionally, sufficient confidentiality is required to withstand this. However, a system with a simple configuration has not yet been developed.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Therefore, the present invention provides an information card that can be used as a business card, even if there is only a small amount of personal information to be used in an interview, the same effect as when sufficient personal information is included, and the confidentiality is sufficiently maintained. The problem to be solved is to develop a method that does not pose the risk of violating privacy. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a personal-related information storage and processing system that makes the above possible.

[Means and effects for solving the problem] In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, address, name, company, affiliation, telephone number (company, home), FA
XTelephone numbers and other personal information are registered in the center's file using the member's unique personal area number as an index, and personal information such as addresses and names can be saved by simply registering the personal area number on business cards. By not recording information, the number of characters recorded on a card that can be used as a business card is reduced to 11, and the confidentiality and privacy of communication with the center for obtaining personal information using the card is increased. Measures have been taken to prevent infringement.

A more specific explanation is as follows.

In business cards equipped with conventional magnetic recording bands, there is a limit to the amount of information that can be recorded on the recording band (normally, the density is several tens of bits per crane, and thousands of types of kanji are encoded and multiplexed for safety reasons). When recorded, one obi has about 100 characters). For this reason, the name, address (home, office), affiliation, and telephone number (home, office, fax) printed on regular business cards.
, company name, and all other necessary information could not be recorded.

For this reason, conventionally, individuals have created a personal information file (recording name, address, telephone number, etc.) exclusively for the individual by inserting a magnetic card business card into a computer, etc., using a stand-alone type. As mentioned above, even with the conventional method (for example, the above-mentioned Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-65857), there was a limit to the number and types of characters that could be magnetically recorded on business cards.

On the other hand, when implementing the present invention, a center is created, these personal information files are concentrated in the files of the center, and the terminal is a simple one (for example, a conventional telephone,
If you exchange information from the terminal to the center via the telephone exchange network using a data telephony system consisting of a card league and a printer with a terminal SQ number sending function, etc., the information recorded on the business card will be , only the personal area number unique to the individual that corresponds one-to-one to the personal area on the center file, the PIN number, the center telephone number, and the designated person's telephone number are required; other personal information such as name, address, etc. is required. Since it is sufficient to record the information in advance in the center file at the time of member registration, it is possible to effectively eliminate the limitation on the number of characters required to record personal information.

However, since the terminal requires communication with the center and also shares the center file, it is essential to ensure confidentiality from the viewpoint of privacy. Conventionally, when communicating with a center, the identity of the user was confirmed when the pin code on the center file, the pin code in the card (business card), and the pin code entered by the user all matched.

On the other hand, if the present invention is implemented, a terminal SQ number table (a number that changes each time a terminal uses the center) for each terminal is further provided at the center, and a terminal SQ number counter is also provided within the terminal. By setting this to the same numerical value as the terminal SQ number of the center, all communications between the center and the terminal can be encrypted using this terminal SQ number, ensuring a higher level of confidentiality. It has become possible.

Next, we will explain the processing operations and usage of this system step by step.

[1] Member registration.

Members in this system are given a member-specific personal area number and PIN number, and these are magnetically recorded on the JR
A C card (Figure 3) and a JC card (Figure 2) will be issued. An improved data telephone 11 and a facsimile 17 are installed in the member's home, and a terminal ID number unique to the improved data telephone 11 is written into the memory of the terminal ID number sending device 132. Set the terminal SQ number counter 131 to a specific value (for example, 1234).

In the terminal ID number area 411 of the terminal SQ number table 41 of the center 50, the terminal ID number sending device 1 of the member's house 2 is stored.
Record the same number as the terminal ID number in 32, and
The number area 412 contains terminal SQ number counter 1 at the member's home.
The same value as the specific value (for example, 1234) in 31 is recorded.

In addition, a password file 44 and a personal information file 45
As mentioned above, the necessary number is recorded in . Note that before the member uses the JRC, the related personal area number area 452 and the related message area 453 are blank.

[2] Addition and update of information by members.

When a member receives a JC card as a business card from another member, the member inserts the JC card received from the other member into the improved data telephone whose terminal TD number is registered in this system, and transmits the information on the card to the center 50. dedicated area of the personal information file 45 (related personal area number area 452 and related message area 4 belonging to the person's personal area number area 451 in which their own personal area number is recorded)
53). The process will be explained in detail below.

(b) Membership confirmation.

If the member takes off the handset of the data telephone 11 and enters the JRC card without pressing the PB dial button 14,
The JRC phone number in area 1 in the JKC card is automatically sent a PB double signal, and the JRC phone number is sent via the telephone exchange yI60.
It is connected to the C input trunk 311, the trunk 311 automatically answers, and the JRC input/output cover sofa 321 and data telephone 11 are connected.

Immediately after connection, the terminal ID number is sent from the terminal ID number sending device 132 of the data telephone 11 to the terminal SQ number table 41 via the JRC input/output cover sofa 321, and the sent terminal TD number is ID number area 41
The CPU confirms that the contents match those registered in 1.
43 confirms that the terminal is a terminal of a member of this system (if the numbers do not match, the voice response device 47 will inform you that the terminal is not registered).

Next, the voice response device 47 prompts the member to "Press O# on PB," and when the member presses "0#," the contents of area 3.4 of the JRC card are sent to the JKC entry/exit cover sofa 321. At this time, the terminal control device 16 encrypts these pieces of information using the terminal SQ number in the terminal SQ number counter 131 and sends it out. By a method such as adding it to the terminal SQ number.

The CPU 43 selects the terminal S corresponding to the terminal ID number of the terminal.
The Q number is searched from the terminal SQ number area 412 of the terminal SQ number table 41, and the code sent by this is returned to the code before encryption, and the personal area number and PIN number are stored in the PIN file 44 and personal It checks that it is recorded in the information file 45, encrypts it with the terminal SQ number in the terminal SQ number area 412, and sends it back to the terminal.

At the terminal, the terminal SQ number in the terminal SQ number counter 131 is used to restore the pre-encryption code and check whether it matches the pre-encryption code sent first. If the codes match, a signal tone is played to prompt the member to enter the PIN using the PB dial.

When the member enters the PIN number, the terminal control device 16 checks whether it matches the PIN number in the JKC card. If there is a discrepancy as a result of these checks, the connection between the center and the terminal is disconnected. In addition, terminal S registered at the center
The Q number and the terminal SQ number registered in the terminal change each time the center and the terminal are connected, but the terminal SQ number is always the same number between the center and the terminal, so communication between the center and the terminal is is encrypted and executed using the terminal SQ number.

(b) Insert JC card.

After completing the procedure in (a) above, the center will prompt you to “request to insert your JC card,” so the member should press “0#” with the JC card received as a business card from another member, and insert it into the card reader. 12, the contents of areas 2 and 3 in the JC card are sent to the center. As a result, the CPU 43 confirms that there is a member personal area number area 441 that matches the personal area number sent to the center, and transfers this personal area number to the individual whose personal area number is registered. Fill in the related personal area number area 452 belonging to the area number area 451.

(c) Message input.

After inserting a JC card received as a business card from another member, if you press the predetermined PB dial button (for example, "1" for a friend, 2 for a client), a message related to the person on the inserted JC card will be displayed. can be entered in the relationship message area 453.

(d) Use of center registration data by members.

When you want to create a list of addresses necessary for New Year's cards, moving notifications, etc., or when you want to create and send New Year's cards all at once at the center, after inserting your JKC card, pre-determine according to each purpose. Press the PB dial to send (
- When you enter the conditions for selecting destination j (for example, press "1" for only close friends), the CPLI 43 looks at the relationship message area 453 that belongs to the person's personal area number area 451 and selects the destination that matches the conditions. The recipient's address, name, telephone number, etc. are extracted from the personal information file 45.

When a list of destinations is desired, it is sent to the person's facsimile terminal 17 or output to the printer 46 at the center, and manually mailed.

If you want to create New Year's cards, etc. all at once at the center and send them on behalf of the person in question, you can use predetermined standard text and standard shapes, and in that case, you can specify the type of button with the PB dial, but you can also handwrite it by hand. If you want to create a New Year's card using text and graphics, send the text and graphics to the center using the facsimile 17, and the center will receive the signals received from these terminals, digitize it, process the image, and create a New Year's card using normal technology. etc. can be created.

(E) Update of member message area 443 by members.

When moving or transferring, if you update your member message area 443 by sending your new address, new affiliation, greetings, etc. to the center in advance, other members can access your member message area 443 via the personal information file 45. You can read the updated message.

[3] Reading of information by members and non-members.

(f) When using an improved data telephone.

When the JC card is manually input to the card reader 22, the phone number of the card holder recorded in area 1 of the JC card is automatically transmitted as a PB double signal and connected to the phone of the card holder. In addition, if you input the JC card from the card reader 22 after pressing "0#" on the PB button, the information center JC telephone number and personal area number recorded in area 2 and area 3 will be automatically sent as a PB double signal. It is connected to the input card rank 312, and after an automatic response, the contents of the member message area 443 corresponding to J people of the JC card input via the JC input/output buffer 322 are output to the printer 25.

In addition, in the above process, the PB number automatically sent out on the card will change from area l if you do not press "0#", and from area 2 if you press it in advance.
This is executed by a program within the terminal control device 26.

(g) When using a PB telephone and facsimile.

Look at your JC card and enter your JC phone number and personal area number on PB
If you input the double signal and input the predetermined symbol that means facsimile output as well as the PB double signal, JC person quad rank 3
12, and after automatic response, the JC input/output buffer 32
2, the contents of the member message area 443 corresponding to the input JC card holder can be output to a facsimile.

(h) When using a PB telephone.

Look at your JC card and enter your JC phone number and personal area number.
If a B double signal is input and a predetermined symbol that means audio output is also input as a PB double signal, it will be connected to the JCt υ input card rank 312, and after an automatic response, the JC card notation input via the JC input/output buffer 322 will be displayed. The contents of the member message area 443 corresponding to the person are converted into voice by the voice response device 47 and output to the user. At this time, the voice response device 47 records character pronunciation fragments uttered in advance in units of kana, kanji, etc., and responds to the recorded characters corresponding to the characters in the contents of the member message area 443. Voice response method that edits and outputs pronunciation fragments (character-based voice editing method: Patent No. 903790:
Public notice 1984.3. 1o: Japanese Patent Publication No. 52-8642), the user can understand the character structure of the contents of the member message area 443, and the comprehensibility is further improved.

Although this embodiment describes the case where a magnetic recording band is added to a business card and connected to a center via a switching network, even if an optical, electrostatic, or mechanical recording band is added to a business card, Furthermore, even if the devices are connected to the center via a dedicated line network, or if each device is directly connected without going through a line, the same effects as in this embodiment can be obtained as long as the present invention is implemented. can get.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the following effects can be expected by implementing the present invention.

(1) Since personal information is now registered in the center's file, only a small amount of information, such as the personal area number, is required to be recorded on the magnetic recording band of business cards, which was previously required for personal information such as addresses. There is no limit on the number of characters that was previously used.

(2) It is convenient because the sorting of business cards, creation of New Year's cards, greeting cards, etc., shipping, and creation of address lists can be done automatically at the center based on instructions from the terminal.

(3) When moving, relocating, etc., a member can input a message such as a new address from a terminal, and other members can be notified automatically, which is convenient.

(4) When a member uses another member's JC card as a business card to input personal information of another member into his/her own file,
If you input the date of the meeting, the purpose of the meeting, and the category of friend or client, you can use this as the extraction condition when reading.

(5) A high degree of confidentiality can be ensured. In other words, while checking whether the PIN registered at the center, the PIN recorded on the JKC card, and the PIN entered by the member match, the terminal SQ number is set at the center and the terminal, respectively. Communication information is encrypted in communication between the center and the terminal using the terminal SQ number.

(If you enter your 61JC card into a card league such as Data Telephone, you will be automatically connected to the phone number of the cardholder without dialing.
