Description

Specification

Information management system

The present invention relates to an individual information management system that stores and stores the latest data in a user terminal via a network. More specifically, an individual data storage space required for each user is created on the information storage server, and the individual data storage space stores the storage destination of the data required for the user, so that a small capacity for each user can be obtained. It relates to an individual information management system that transmits and provides appropriate information. Background art

As a system for transmitting information suitable for each user (information suitable for each user indicates information selected by the user or information selected by a registrant of information desired to be viewed by the user), a conventional system has been used. There are point casting and reeling systems. These are so-called push technologies that send information to the user unilaterally, and identify the user by acquiring the IP address used by the user and send the information to that IP address. It is possible to transmit information suitable for each user. In the push-type information transmission method described above, due to its data structure, data is directly transmitted / received in the form of mediating an _IP address in response to a request from a user. In other words, in the case of a system such as a company that has a network structure of a certain scale, the terminal (hereinafter referred to as a user terminal) owned by a user of a firewall, a public key server, or the like is connected to the network due to security issues. It is generally installed between There is a problem in that filtering is controlled for the IP address of the user, and the user terminal cannot be identified accurately and information suitable for the user cannot be transmitted.

In the case of the push-type information transmission method, information is only transmitted to the IP address existing on the network, and users in a network structure where the structure of IP address = user does not hold. On the other hand, it is difficult to transmit information suitable for each user. In addition, when a user accesses from a plurality of terminals or accesses from a terminal different from a terminal normally used, it is difficult to identify the user. Disclosure of the invention

In view of the above problems, the present inventors have created an individual data storage space that can be referred to for each user in an information storage server that can store information for each user, so that the IP address of the terminal used by the user can be obtained. Regardless of what terminal the user is using, regardless of what terminal the user is using, we have devised an individual information management system that can transmit and provide information for each user stored in the information storage server.

According to the present invention, only the address of the content data referred to by the user is stored in the individual data storage space, only that is transmitted to and received from the information storage server, and only the content data having a difference is stored in the database storing the content. By acquiring the information, network traffic can be reduced. Also, by not storing the content data itself in the user's individual data storage space, but storing only the address of the reference destination of the content data, the storage capacity of the information storage server is greatly reduced, and the database itself for storing the content data is stored. It is not necessary for the information storage server to have It becomes. In some cases, it may be a database server owned by the distribution source customer. As a result, the distribution source customer has conventionally sent the content data to the server in order to update the content data, but the necessity is eliminated and the distribution of the content data can be easily performed.

Further, according to the present invention, the user terminal always stores the latest data and synchronizes with the information storage server, so that, for example, even if a network failure or a server failure occurs, other access means can be secured immediately. As a result, the latest data can be browsed without delay.

Also, by comparing the acquired individual display data list with the previously referred individual display data list, the updated / added / changed data is acquired from the content database 14 and displayed in the corresponding connection field on the front screen. Means. The individual data transmitting means 19 stores individual information for each user (hereinafter, schedule individual data) input to the data display means 16 by the user, and the schedule individual data is transmitted via the data transmitting / receiving means 18. To the individual data storage database 13 in the information storage server 1.

The data transmitting / receiving means 18 is means for transmitting / receiving data to / from the information storage server 1. Generally refers to network 4 communication devices such as modems and TAs (Terminal Adapters).

The information storage server 1 includes authentication means 5, user registration means 6, user-specific data storage space creation means 12, individual data storage database 13, user database 10, distribution source customer registration means 7, distribution source customer database. It has a registered data list creation means 9, a content database 14, and a personal information storage database 15.

The authentication means 5 is a means for authenticating a user or a distribution customer, and the ID and password received from the user terminal 2 or the distribution customer terminal 3 are stored in the user database 10 or the distribution customer database 11. Verifies the ID and password used for authentication.

The user registration means 6 is a means for managing new user registration. The user registration screen is transmitted to the user terminal 2, and the name, address, contact information, and e-mail address entered on the user registration screen received from the user terminal 2. And other attribute information to the user database 10 for registration. Also, the newly registered user attribute information is transmitted to the user-specific data storage space creating means 12 to create a user individual data storage space. It is also a means for issuing an ID and password to the user and transmitting it to the user terminal 2. Figure 7 shows an example of the user registration screen.

The user database 10 stores information such as the user's name, age, contact information, and address. This is a database that stores user attribute information, addresses indicating the location of the user's individual data storage space in the individual data storage database 13, and stores authentication information such as user IDs and passwords. It is also a database. FIG. 8 shows a conceptual diagram of the data structure of the user database 10.

The user-specific data storage space creation means 12 is a means for creating a user's individual data storage space on the individual data storage database 13 upon receiving newly registered user information from the user registration means 6.

The individual data storage database 13 is a database having at least one or more individual data storage spaces for each user. Figure 9 shows a conceptual diagram of the data structure of the individual data storage database 13. The individual data storage space is an address (or pointer) that is the location of data in the content database 14 that stores content data and the personal information storage database 15. In the following description, an address is described. The same is possible with a pointer), the position on the screen to be displayed on the display (where on the front screen), the data display attribute (in what format), and the data display timing (what timing At least one of the individual display data lists including the address data is displayed. The data included in the individual display data list is optional.

The distribution source customer registration means 7 is a means for managing the new registration of the distribution source customer of the content data that desires the distribution of the content data to the appropriate user and the new registration of the content data. And transmits from the distribution source customer terminal 3 distribution source attribute information such as the distribution source customer name, the content data distribution requester, distribution time, the area where the distribution source customer is located, and the content data. Distribution source attribute information received from distribution source customer The content data is transmitted to the database 11, and the content data is transmitted to the content database 14 via the registered data list creating means 9 and stored. When the content data is stored in a location other than the information storage server 1, the storage address of the content data is transmitted instead of the content data.

The distribution source customer database 11 is a database that stores distribution source attribute information such as a distribution source customer name. It is also a database that stores authentication information such as the ID and password of the distribution source customer.

The personal information storage database 15 is a database that stores personal information such as individual schedule data for each user and an address book.

The content database 14 is a database that stores content data that the distribution source customer desires to distribute to the user. Examples of the content data include stock prices, advertisements, weather forecasts, news, and the like, but it goes without saying that any data may be used as long as the data is desired by the distribution source customer. Further, the content database 14 may exist outside of the information storage server 1, and may exist on, for example, a computer or a database server of a distribution source customer.

The user data transmission / reception means 8 is a means for extracting an individual display data list to be displayed on the user's front screen from the individual data storage database 13 after the user is authenticated, and transmitting the list to the user terminal 2. For example, if the user ID is ABC, extract the address of the individual data storage space of the user on the individual data storage database 13 from the address column of the user database _{10.c In} this case, the address is XYZ00 ZABC (database The address is the ABC individual data storage space of the database with the name XYZ00. Next, based on this address, the individual data storage database 13 with the database name XYZ00 is searched to extract the individual display data list with the address ABC. I do. Then, the individual display data list is transmitted to the user terminal 2. In this case, the address is XYZ02 13 1 (data of the database with the database name XYZ02 and the address is 131), and the display position on the screen is the data named connection field A. The data display attribute (data format) is text data, and the data display timing is blinking display every 10 seconds. In this case, all the individual display data lists stored in the individual data storage space may be transmitted to the user terminal 2, or an arbitrary number may be transmitted. The user terminal 2 that has received the data of the individual display data list displays the content data on the front screen when the data acquisition unit 17 separately accesses the content data of the content database 14 via the data transmission / reception unit 18. Will be done. In this case, the content data is obtained by accessing the content data having the address 131, of the database whose database name is XYZ02, and is stored in the connection field A on the front screen in a text format. By blinking every 0 seconds, the user can browse the content data.

The user data transmitting / receiving means 8 receives individual information (individual data) such as a user's schedule from the individual data transmitting means 19 of the user terminal 2 via the data transmitting / receiving means 18 and stores the personal information. This is a means for storing the individual information stored in the database 15 and adding the storage address of the stored individual information to the individual display data list of the individual data storage space of the corresponding user in the individual data storage database 13. . Further, when transmitting the individual display data list to the user terminal 2, the same as described above.

The registration data list creation means 9 receives the registration data of the distribution source from the distribution source customer registration means 7, creates a distribution destination data list indicating to which user the registered content data is to be distributed, and From registration means 7 The received content data is transmitted to the content database 14. In addition, based on the registered data list created above, the individual display data list in the individual data storage space of the individual data storage database 13 of the corresponding user is added with the address of the content data in the content database 14. Add a connection field to display the content data. When only the address of the content data is transmitted from the distribution source customer terminal 3, the address and the connection field are added to the individual display data list.

In the present embodiment, the content database 14 and the personal information storage database 15 are shown as one each, but it goes without saying that a plurality of them may exist. For convenience, in the present embodiment, the names of the databases are referred to as the content database 14 and the personal information storage database 15, however, the names may be given as XYZ00 and XYZ01 as illustrated. Further, the content database 14 may be provided not only in the information storage server 1 but also a separate database server, or may be provided on a database server owned by the distribution source customer.

Next, an example of a process flow using the system of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to flowcharts shown in FIGS. First, the flow of a process in which a user performs usage registration in the information storage server 1 and secures an individual data storage space will be described.

The user who uses the information storage server 1 for the first time registers the user by inputting attributes such as name, age, address, and contact information on the user registration screen and transmitting the information to the user registration means 6 of the information storage server 1 (S 1 00). The user registration screen is a screen including a column for inputting the user's name, age, address, contact information, and the like, a “Send” button for transmitting the screen contents to the information storage server 1, and an example is shown in FIG. Upon receiving the user registration, the user registration means 6 receives the user ID, It issues a password and sends it to user terminal 2. The attribute, ID, and password of the user are stored in the user database 10.

When a new user is registered in S100, the individual data storage space creating means 12 creates an individual data storage space for storing data for each user in the individual data storage database 13 ( S110). Thereafter, this file is updated and deleted as data unique to each user. Again s

The address of the individual data storage space created in 110 is stored in the user database 10 via the user registration means 6.

The user selects and sets the content data to be displayed in the connection field on the front screen (S120). The setting can be made by selecting the data display object to be changed from the default front screen.

The user data transmitting / receiving means 8 transmits the content data to be displayed in the connection field of the front screen selected by the user in S120 from the individual data transmitting means 19 of the user terminal 2 via the data transmitting / receiving means 18 Upon receipt, the address of the content data selected by the user is extracted from the content database 14 and the personal information storage database 15 and stored in the individual data storage space of the individual data storage database 13 as an individual display data list. .

Next, the flow of the process of registering the use of a distribution source customer who wishes to distribute content data and the process of registering the content data will be described in detail. A distribution customer who wishes to distribute data to the user accesses the distribution customer registration means 7 of the information storage server 1 from the distribution customer terminal 3 of the distribution customer via the network 4 and distributes the data. The distribution source customer registration screen transmitted from the former customer registration means 7 is received by the content data distribution customer terminal 3 and the distribution source customer registration screen is entered by inputting predetermined items. The customer registration is executed (S200).

The distribution source customer registration screen has columns for inputting attributes such as the distribution source customer name, address, and contact information, and a “send” button for determining to transmit the input information to the information storage server 1. . Figure 10 shows an example of the distribution customer registration screen.

When the distribution customer selects the “Send” button on the distribution customer registration screen, the input information is transmitted from the distribution customer terminal 3 to the distribution customer registration means 7 of the information storage server 1 via the network 4. Then, the distribution source customer registration means 7 registers the information on the distribution source customer registration screen, and issues an ID and a password to the distribution source customer. At this time, it is natural that the ID and the password are stored in the distribution source customer database 11. By inputting the ID and password from the next time, the distribution source customer is authenticated through the authentication means 5 and can register the content data.

The distribution source customer requests the distribution source customer registration means 7 to transmit a content data registration screen, which is a screen for registering content data, and receives the content data registration screen at the distribution source customer terminal 3. Fig. 11 shows an example of the content data recording surface. The distribution source customer inputs the content data desired to be distributed and the distribution target user on the content data registration screen, and transmits them to the distribution source customer registration means 7 of the information storage server 1.

When the content data is received by the distribution source customer registration means 7, it is transmitted to the registration data list creation means 9. The registration data list creating means 9 stores the content data in the content database 14 and registers it (S210).

After registering the content data in S210, a search is made for the distribution target user of the received content data from the user database 10 and an address of the searched user in the individual data storage space is extracted, Delivery destination data lis Create a report (S220).

The registered data list creating means 9 creates an individual display data list of the individual data storage space of the user to be distributed in the individual data storage database 13 based on the distribution destination data list created in S220. Then, an address of the content data in the content database 14 and a connection field for displaying the content data are added (S230). This allows the user to browse the latest content data from the next time. That is, by comparing with the address of the content data stored in the data acquisition means 17 of the user terminal 2, if a different address is indicated in the same connection field, the content data is added. It indicates that the address has been changed or updated, a new address is acquired by the data acquiring means 17, and the content database 14 can be accessed based on the address to display the latest content data.

According to the above, S 100 power to S 120 and S 200 power to S 230 can perform user registration and Noriyuki Torimoto customer registration. Next, an example of the process flow when the user actually uses the front screen will be described in detail.

By selecting an icon, button, command, or the like for starting the front screen, an authentication screen (not shown) for authenticating whether or not the user is a user for accessing the front screen is displayed on the user terminal 2. Displayed on the device, the ID and password given by the information storage server 1 at the time of user registration are input to this authentication screen (S300), and transmitted from the user terminal 2 to the information storage server 1. Also, the ID and password entered in S300 are only entered for the first time without having to enter them each time at the time of startup as in this embodiment, and the ID and password entered for the first time are used for the second and subsequent times. By storing the information, it is not necessary to request the user to input. The ID and password input in S300 are received by the authentication means 5 of the information storage server 1, and user authentication is performed by referring to the user database 10 (S310). If the entered ID and password are incorrect, the authentication means 5 sends a message prompting re-entry of the ID and password to the user terminal 2 (S320).

If the authentication is successful in S310, the permission to start the front screen and the address of the user's individual data storage space in the individual data storage database 13 stored in the user database 10 are stored. The data is transmitted to the user terminal 2, and the user terminal 2 activates the front screen in response (S330).

FIG. 12 shows an example of a screen image of the front screen displayed on the user terminal 2. The front screen displays the current time, which shows the current time, a schedule mark and a notification mark on the date part of the calendar, a calendar display, and a part of the calendar. A schedule display section that displays the current schedule, a content display section that displays content data such as character information and image information, a date that displays the date and current time, and a current time display section, and manually reloads the screen. A “Reload” button, a “Setting” button for performing various settings, and the like are provided. Each of these parts is managed as a data display object, and each has a connection field.

Based on the address of the user's individual data storage space received when the front screen is activated in S330, the data acquisition means 17 transmits the user data transmission / reception means 8 of the information storage server 1 via the data transmission / reception means 18 Then, an individual display data list in the user's individual data storage space stored in the individual data storage database 13 is acquired and saved (stored) (S340). The data acquisition unit 17 compares the individual display data list acquired in S340 with the individual display data list used last time when the data was accessed last time, and determines whether or not there is a difference (whether there is no change in the content data). Check (S350).

As a result of the check in S350, if there is a difference (that is, there is a change in the content data) (S360), the content data is determined based on the address described in the different individual display data list. Is acquired (S370), and displayed on the front screen in the connection field of the address having the difference (S380). For example, as a result of the check in S350, if the address of XYZ02 131 is different, the data acquisition means 17 accesses the content database 14 named XYZ02 of the information storage server 1 via the data transmission / reception means 18. Then, the content data of the 131 addresses in the content database 14 is extracted, and as a result of the check in S350, the content data of the address having the difference is stored in the connection field A on the front screen as a text format every 10 minutes. Flashes on the display.

After displaying the front screen, in order to update the data display object displayed on the front screen, the data acquisition unit 17 transmits the user data transmission / reception unit of the information storage server 1 via the data transmission / reception unit 18 at regular intervals. The front screen is updated by accessing 8 and acquiring the individual display data list from the individual data storage database 13 and storing (storing) it, and comparing it with the previously acquired individual display data list. By repeating S340 to S380 until the user power S ends, the user can always browse the latest data. Also, instead of sending and receiving the content data itself, only the address of the content data is sent and received, and only the content data that changes is sent and received, thereby reducing the load on the network 4 and reducing the data display time. Can be shortened.

As described above, since the user terminal 2 always synchronizes with the information storage server 1, even if a network failure or a server failure occurs, even if the normally used user terminal 2 cannot be used, other access means (others) may be used. By securing user terminals 2), it is possible to always obtain the latest content data.

For example, another example of the front screen is shown in FIG. The front screen shown in Fig. 13 shows a case where a chart of stock price information (here, Nikkei 225 and TO PIX) is displayed as a data display object. The description of the same parts as above is omitted.

After execution of steps S300 to S330, the data acquisition unit 17 accesses the user data transmission / reception unit 8 via the data transmission / reception unit 18 and retrieves the individual display list from the individual data storage space of the individual data storage database 13 user. Get. After obtaining the individual display list, compare it with the previous individual display list and check whether there is any difference. One of the characteristics of stock price information is that it changes every moment. In such a case, it is preferable to add the time at which the content data last updated after the address is added as a parameter after the address, and check up to this parameter to determine whether there is a difference in the content data. It is. That is, in the case of the previous individual display data list, if the address of the content data is “XYZ03 / 15 1 # 1 345”, the content data is stored in the content database 14 with the database name of ΧΥΖ03. It is stored at the address 151, which means that the latest content data at that time was updated at 13:45. If the address of the content data of the newly obtained individual display data list is “03/15 1 # 1 350”, the content data is stored in the content database 14 with the name of the database of “03”. It is stored in the dress 151, which means that the latest content data at that time was updated at 13:50.

In other words, by checking even the "#" of these two addresses, it is possible to update the content data that changes from moment to moment with only one address. When registering content data that changes every moment, such as a stock price, in the content database 14, the information storage server 1 has in advance when the registration data list creating means 9 registers in the content database 14. Using the clock function, when registering in the content database 14, the registration time is acquired, and when adding (updating) the individual display data list to the individual data storage database 13, this time is used as a parameter and this time is used as a parameter. This can be realized by appending.

Next, a detailed description will be given of a process flow when the user himself registers schedule data and the like on the front screen. In the present embodiment, a case where the data display object is a calendar and schedule data is written therein will be described. The user executes S380 from S300 and displays the front screen (S400). Fig. 12 shows an example of the front screen in this case.

By selecting a date for writing the schedule in the calendar display section of the front screen, a schedule input screen appears, and the user inputs and saves necessary data on the schedule input screen (S410). Figure 14 shows the schedule input screen.

After the user saves the data, the individual data transmitting means 19 accesses and transmits the user data transmitting / receiving means 8 via the data transmitting / receiving means 18 (S420). The user data transmitting / receiving means 8 stores the data input by the user in S410 in the corresponding database, in this case, the personal information storage database 15 (S430). Listed as personal information storage database 15 in S430 After the delivery, the user data transmission / reception means 8 adds the address of the data stored in S430 to the individual display data list of the user's individual data storage space in the individual data storage database 13 (S440).

With this, when the data acquisition means 17 acquires the data of the individual data storage database 13 via the data transmission / reception means 18 next time, it can be checked as a difference address, so that the data can be reflected. Become. When schedule data is added, it is preferable to display a schedule presence mark on the calendar display section.

In the present embodiment, the content database 14 for storing content data and the personal information storage database 15 for storing individual information such as a user's schedule are provided in the information storage server 1. May be provided and stored there. For example, when the content data is stored in the content database 14 of the distribution customer terminal 3 (or in a database server), the content data is not transmitted from the distribution customer terminal 3 to the information storage server 1, but is transmitted. This can be realized by transmitting only the address of the storage destination of the content data, and similarly, when individual information such as a schedule is provided in a database (or database server) owned by the user, the individual information is transmitted to the information storage server 1. This can be realized by transmitting only the address of the storage destination of the individual information instead of performing the operation.

The same applies to the case where content data is obtained from the user terminal 2 by using the content data storage address and using the content database 14 (or the content data base 14) storing the content data. Content data can be obtained from there by accessing the server. The same applies to individual information. In carrying out the present invention, a storage medium storing a software program for realizing the functions of the present embodiment is supplied to the system, and the computer of the system reads out and executes the program stored in the storage medium. It is natural to be done.

In this case, the program itself read from the storage medium implements the functions of the above-described embodiments, and the storage medium storing the program naturally constitutes the present invention.

As a storage medium for supplying the program code, for example, a floppy disk, hard disk, optical disk, magneto-optical disk, magnetic tape, nonvolatile memory card, or the like can be used.

When the computer executes the readout program, not only the functions of the above-described embodiments are realized, but also the operating system or the like running on the computer performs the actual processing based on the instructions of the program. It goes without saying that a part or all of the above is performed and the function of the above-described embodiment is realized by the processing.

Further, after the program read from the storage medium is written into a nonvolatile or volatile storage means provided in a function expansion board inserted into the computer or a function expansion unit connected to the computer, the program is read from the program. In some cases, an arithmetic processing unit or the like provided in the function expansion board or function expansion unit performs part or all of the actual processing based on the instructions of the system, and the processing realizes the functions of the above-described embodiments. Of course. Industrial applicability

An information storage server that can store information for each user According to the present invention, a personal data storage space that can be used is stored in the information storage server regardless of the terminal used by the user, regardless of the IP address of the terminal used by the user. An individual information management system that can transmit and provide information for each user is now possible. In addition, when transmitting and receiving data between the information storage server and the user terminal, only the storage address of the content data is used. For the changed content data, the user terminal can separately access the content database. However, the amount of data transmitted and received at one time can be reduced, and the response speed is secured.

In addition, by storing the address (location) of the content data in the individual data storage space for each user instead of the content data itself, it is possible to significantly reduce the storage capacity required by the information storage server. Made possible. When the content data is not stored in the information storage server, only the address of the content data is stored. However, the distribution source customer has a higher priority than the conventional method of storing the content on the server. By storing the data on any data server, the distribution source customer can easily change the content data.

Furthermore, by always storing the latest data in the user terminal and synchronizing it with the information storage server, for example, even if a network failure or server failure occurs, other access means can be secured immediately, The latest data can be browsed without delay.
