In addition, in the sender form, the information specifying the configuration form of the sender's electronic name card is registered for each sender. Fig. 5 is a structural diagram of a business card arrangement table recorded in the electronic business card database DB. In the business card configuration table, detailed configuration information of the electronic business card corresponding to the above configuration form is registered. The configuration information is registered with: designation of personal information items of the electronic business card 'or the shape of the electronic business card, the position of the personal information to be disclosed, and the like. As described above, in the electronic business card database DB of this embodiment, the dispatcher table and the business card arrangement table are linked by the arrangement form information, whereby the dispatcher terminal of the electronic business card and the dispatcher should send the letter The personal information items are attached. That is, the delivery terminal form and the business card configuration form are equivalent to other item storage units of the delivery terminal of the present invention. D. Electronic business card sending process: Figure 6 is a flowchart of electronic business card sending process. In the flowchart, the processes of the sender client C L 1 (left side), the electronic business card dispatch server W S (center), and the sender client C L 2, C L 3 (right) are shown. First, the source client c L 1 performs user registration with the electronic business card sending server W S (step S 1 0). The so-called user registration refers to the registration of personal information, the registration of the mail terminal, and the registration of the configuration of the electronic business card (-11-1244597 Ο). The electronic business card dispatch server W S records this information in a predetermined form of the electronic business card database DB. Next, the sender client C L1 designates the electronic business card sending server WS to the electronic business card sending server W S (step S 1 1). The designation of the sender is specified in the sender registered in the sender form. When no sender is specified, it can be preset to send all the registered senders. Next, the electronic business card sending server WS extracts various information corresponding to the designated sending terminal from the electronic business card database DB (step S 1 2). For example, when the "friend" in Fig. 4 is designated as the mailing end, the mailing address of members constituting its "friend" is extracted from the mailing list, and the designated form B is used as the arrangement form of the electronic business card. The personal information item corresponding to this form B is designated in the film configuration table of FIG. 5, and the location information of the configuration item is extracted. In addition, the personal information of the user corresponding to the item specified by the business card layout form is extracted from the personal information form. Next, the electronic business card dispatch server WS uses various information extracted in the above step S 1 2 to generate a portrait representing the business card (step S 1 3). Then, the generated image is attached to an e-mail, and the mail address (herein, the mail client CL2 and CL3) extracted in the above step S 1 2 is sent (step S14). Finally, the electronic business card dispatch server WS sends a notification of the completion of the dispatch to the source client C L 1 (step S 1 5), and the electronic business card dispatch processing ends. By performing the above processing, the electronic business card sending system of this embodiment] can send electronic business cards with different contents according to the sending terminal. Therefore, for example, the electronic name can be flexibly used separately for work or personal use. -12- 1244597 (10) E. Modification: In the above-mentioned electronic business card sending process, it is assumed that an image showing a business card is sent and sent. . However, based on the extracted personal information, an electronic business card based on the vCard specification may be generated and sent. In addition, the extracted personal information may be simply attached to an e-mail as text data, or may be attached to an e-mail and sent. In addition, it is also possible to send an HTML page containing an electronic business card to the web browser installed on the client CL2, CL3 of the client, instead of email. In addition, the letter sending does not necessarily require the electronic business card sending server WS to take the initiative. It can be performed only when the mail client CL2, CL3 accesses the electronic business card sending server WS. In the above electronic business card sending process, it is assumed that the electronic business card sending server WS generates a portrait representing a business card in the above step S13. However, it may be set to be generated by the client clients CL2 and CL3. In this case, the above step S 1 3 is omitted, and the personal information or configuration information extracted in the above step S 1 2 is sent to the client terminals CL2 and CL3. Based on this information, the predetermined software installed on the client CL2 and CL3 of the client terminal generates a picture showing a business card (step S 1 6 shown by a dotted line in FIG. 6). Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above ', the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and various structures can be adopted without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, functions processed in software can also be implemented in hardware. In addition, although the electronic business card delivery server WS is set to -13-1244597 (11) for electronic business card delivery, the same structure as the electronic business card delivery program described above can be used at the source client c L 1 'It is possible to make a structure to send an electronic business card without passing through a server.
