Description

Description E-mail delivery server device Technical field

The invention of the present application realizes a service for providing various information collected from various information senders to an unspecified number of information receivers by e-mail and S-mail. The present invention relates to an e-mail delivery server device that allows both recipients to easily use the service and can carry information desired by the information recipient. Background art

It has been a long time since the exchange of e-mail via the Internet has become popular. Usually, e-mail software has a carbon copy (c c) function, and the same mail can be sent to multiple recipients at the same time.

A service called an e-mail magazine is also widely used. An e-mail magazine is information that is distributed in an electronic manner using an electronic mail system. A recipient system can receive information by registering an e-mail address with the publisher. .

In addition, a service called a mailing list is widely used. This is because the mail server manages the mail addresses of multiple users who perform gambling of emotions based on a specific theme as a single loop, and one of those users If you send a message to the mail address of the representative of Gnolepe, it will be delivered to the remaining users.

With the improvement and popularization of these email services, there is no need to call spam mail. It is also true that the number of e-mails distributed without permission is increasing, and until now, no means for completely preventing these junk e-mails has been established.

Furthermore, technologies related to electronic mail such as Patent Documents 1 to 15 have been devised. Although these technologies are detailed and different, basically, a user A registers a keyword or some reception condition, and another user B informs the information that matches the reception condition, or Then, this technology distributes the information to user A and all users who have registered the same reception conditions.

Although Patent Document 10 is limited to consultation information with various banks, Patent Document 11 is limited to email magazine information, Patent Document 13 is limited to Keigo information, and Patent Document 15 is limited to intelligence information. The general concept can be considered similar.

1¾ problem to be solved by the invention

However, the conventional technology has the following problems.

With the carbon copy (C C) function of the conventional e-mail software, it is necessary to know the destination e-mail address in advance, so it has not been possible to deliver e-mail to other parties who do not know the e-mail address. Mail magazine! Similarly, since the publisher needs to know the destination email address in advance, it was not possible to deliver the email magazine to the other party who did not know the email address.

On the other hand, it is not necessary to know the mail address of each mailing list, and it is possible to distribute information to a group で by simply saying an email to the representative email address of the group. . However, in order to receive multiple items of information, such as “Ken ^^ product” information and “Go / Lev” information, you must subscribe to the Ken ^ product mailing list and golf mailing list, respectively. This is not easy. In addition, it is not accurate because it cannot receive information limited to information such as “Royanori” information and “patching” information.

In addition, it is a denial that the improvement and popularization of these electronic mail services is a cause of annoying mail. In particular, if you simply send a mailing list to the representative email address and send it to the entire group, you can make it a spam target. For this reason, mailing lists are very useful in terms of information ^ Γ, but often! Sometimes it was done. Solving these problems has been a long time in e-mail services, and as a result, many technologies have been devised to date. Nevertheless, the present inventor is not aware of any signs that such services are still widespread.

This is because these technologies have the following three problems.

First, the first problem is whether the user who speaks information (hereinafter referred to as the “user”) meets the receiving conditions of the user who received the information (hereinafter referred to as “information mail”). When collating the card, the information mail is searched based on the keyword registered by the receiving user. ^ \ For example, when 1 million recipients have registered 10 keywords each, 1 information mail is processed based on 1 0,000 keywords 1 0 The process power of searching 100,000 times s is necessary, which places an extreme load on the server.

Next, the second problem is the age at which the receiving condition of the receiving user is searched based on the keyword contained in the information mail without depending on the matching method as in the first problem. Even in the case of the 100,000 receiving users described above, only one search is sufficient. However, since the keywords in the information mail are guessed from the nouns included in the information mail and automatically extracted, there is a possibility that the keyword intended by the spoken user may not be extracted. In addition, the word user cannot give an arbitrary keyword to the information mail.

The third problem does not depend on the extraction method as in the second problem, and the word user can assign an arbitrary keyword to the information mail, and the receiving condition of the receiving user is searched based on the keyword. To do. The word user needs to tell the server the keyword to be given separately from the information mail. For this reason, the language user can divide the information mail and the keyword into the server in two steps or apply the information to the keyword filed in the file. It takes time and effort to apologize for the service.

Furthermore, even if the above three problems are solved, the receiving user can register the negative receiving conditions in the main as in the invention of the present application, or the user can select any information mail. As a service, it is possible to assign a keyword to any position in the subject or body of an email, or to receive a selected user's information email by selecting a specific user. It is insufficient.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and various kinds of information collected from various kinds of information senders are distributed to an unspecified number of information recipients by e-mail. E-mail that enables both information senders and information receivers to use the service easily and provides more accurate information on information desired by the information receiver. An object is to realize a distribution server device.

Means for solving M

The present invention accepts a receiving condition for selecting information to be distributed to the recipient by the recipient who desires to deliver the email information collected from the information sender by the email from the recipient. Received by extracting one or more keywords from the sentence ^ IJ in the email and determining the pattern obtained by the logical sum and logical product of the keywords as the receiving condition of the recipient The receiving key database that allows the receiver to make one or more of the receiving condition patterns determined by the key receiving key and the hit key receiving key register, and the sender of selfish information One or more keywords assigned by the information sender are extracted from the subject and body of the e-mail collected from the tirt, and the tirt self received keyword database is extracted based on the extracted keywords. The reception condition pattern obtained by the logical sum and logical ^ ¾ of the pseudo-inside the process is determined, the corresponding recipient is determined, and the collected e-mail is sent to the appropriate recipient. An information mail delivery section to deliver, and This solves the tfit self problem.

In addition, in the above-mentioned electronic mail distribution server device, a key word for identifying itself by the S information sender is received by the electronic mail from the information sender, and ^^ in the electronic mail is replaced with 1 The official keyword registration unit that determines the key word as a key word that identifies the information sender, and the key word that identifies the information sender, which is determined by the official key registration unit, 1 keyword storage for information speakers: a keyword database, and when the tiff self-information mail distribution unit determines the corresponding recipient, the information transmission is sent to the self-reception condition pattern. A keyword that identifies the sender is set as a keyword that identifies the sender of the information, and a keyword that identifies the sender of the information. From among the recipients who are not, by determining the recipient applicable, is obtained by solving the tin himself.

In addition, in the key self e-mail distribution server device, a list of ranges used for expanding a keyword with a specific designation among the keywords extracted from e-mail power by the self-recipient to the scheduled sentence IJ. There is also a database, and the hateful received keyword s », l When determining the receiving condition pattern of the self recipient, the keywords that have been specified among the keywords that have been selected are displayed in the range list database. This is a solution to lirtsii by expanding to the expected character 歹し and determining the tin reception condition pattern.

The invention's effect

According to the present invention, the realization of the distribution service as described above eliminates the need for the message user to tell the server the key word to be assigned separately from the information mail. The problem power of S is solved. In addition, since the intended keyword is correctly extracted, the second problem in the conventional model is solved. In addition, one information medium The server does not need to hesitate to search many times to process the process, and the load on the server is reduced, so the first problem in the prior art is solved.

In addition, according to the present invention, the receiving user can register the curious receiving conditions by e-mail, and the user can specify an arbitrary keyword for the information mail, the subject of the mail and the text. It can be applied to any position. In addition, the receiving user can receive an information mail to which a keyword within the range is assigned only by specifying the opening and closing values of the arbitrary range as the receiving condition. Furthermore, the receiving user can select and receive information mail of a specific user.

Therefore, according to the invention of the present application, multiple types of information such as “healthy goods” and “golf” information can be received (of which “Royanori” and “putting” information is also included.

P Therefore, it is no longer necessary to register to multiple mailing lists, and ^^ that has already been registered to multiple mailing lists can be integrated into one, and as a result, via the currently popular Internet. This has the effect of further expanding and enhancing the communication community.

According to the present invention, companies, organizations, and individuals who distribute email magazines do not need to manage the email address of the receiving user and other personal information, etc., reducing labor and expenses. It is also possible to do.

As described above, according to the present invention, when realizing a service in which various information collected from various information senders is delivered to an unspecified number of information recipients by electronic mail delivery, information transmission is performed. It is possible to realize an e-mail distribution server device that can be used easily by both the receiver and the information receiver, and that the information desired by the information receiver can be more accurately obtained.

Use the mouse 4 3 2 to input coordinates and various operations. Also, necessary information can be printed out from the printer device 4 3 3 as appropriate. Needless to say, these outputs and inputs are performed electronically by a program written in CPU 4 10.

The CD drive device 4 41 and the F DD device 4 4 2 are used for installing application programs and other offline information exchange when the present invention is applied. Next, FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the distribution server 10 3.

The distribution server 10 3 includes a main transmission / reception unit 3 0 1, a reception key registration unit 3 0 2, a reception key database 3 0 3, an information mail distribution unit 3 0 4, and an information mail base. 3, 5, KEY KEY REGISTRATION 3 0 6, OFFICIAL KEYWORD DATABASE 3 0 7, RANGE LIST DATABASE 3 0 8, and WEB PAGE GENERATOR 3 0 9.

The details of the information mail delivery flow centered on the delivery server 103 will be described below. The main flow of the information mail delivery flow is normal delivery (1) and ^; delivery (2). In addition, as a secondary flow, there is range specification registration (3), and other functions are shown in Additional functions (4). From now on, the mail address of Distribution Server 1 ◦ 3 will be “***@example.com” (where “***” is a predefined sentence lJ). Are all examples.

(1) Normal delivery

(1 -A) Receive keyword registration

Hereinafter, received keyword registration in normal distribution will be described. Each step shall refer to the flowchart in Fig. 4.

Receiving user 10 4 receives the e-mail address “keyword@example.com” as the e-mail address registration key in the PC and the keyword he / she wishes to receive in the e-mail body (hereinafter “reception keyword”). Enter. Then, the PC accepts the input and says this e-mail to “keyword@example.com” (step 4 0 1). To enter the received keyword, enter “Jazz C DJ” separated by spaces, or enclose each keyword with “ku” and “>” as in “kujazz> ku CD>”. These “ku” and “>” are special symbols used in this service. Other special symbols such as “one”, “|”, “˜”, etc. can be used to set more negative keywords. Is possible. "I" is a battleship, "|" "~" Means range specification (described later), and finally the logical product of all these keywords is taken as one reception pattern, and the information mail corresponding to that pattern is received. It becomes credible. For example, registered with the mail / review in Figure 5: ^, “CD” or “DVD” is set as a keyword, “Jazz” is set as a keyword, and “New Orleans” is set as a keyword. The information mail power S can be received. The above-mentioned “CD (Compact D isc)” and “DVD (Digita 1 Video Disc is)” j are related to music such as jazz, etc. Recording media).

Furthermore, in the same way, say the second reception pattern “keyword2@example.com” and the Nth reception pattern “keyword [N] @ example.com” (where “N” is an arbitrary natural number). Thus, multiple reception patterns can be registered simultaneously.

Also, register the receiving keyword from the Web page form as shown in Fig. 6 generated by the Web page generation unit 309 that generates various Web pages in conjunction with each database. Is also possible. (Hereafter, it is assumed that all the functions of the distribution server 103 can be used on the Web page, and the explanation is omitted.)

Here, in FIG. 6, and in the present embodiment, the “00 鍾 route” operated by “00 electric railway company” is taken as a virtual example. And, from “Kashiwa Station A” to “Kagi Station H”, the names of the virtual stations are made consecutive in the order of A to H on the route.

Next, the received keyword registration process of the distribution server 103 will be described. The mail receiving part 3 0 1 receives the mail addressed to “keyword@example.com”; ^, and delivers the mail to the receiving keyword summary 30 2 (step 4 0 2).

Incoming keyword registration 0 2 extracts and sends the sentence ^^ in the delivered mail text. It is stored in the received keyword table 701 of the received keyword database 303 as shown in FIG. 7 in association with the sender mail address (step 403). Specifically, if there is no “ku” or “>” in the text, the text separated by a space is extracted as one keyword, and there are “ku” and “>” in the text: ^ , The character string enclosed by “ku” and “>” is extracted as one key word.

The ability to extract keywords is considered to be possible in various ways. It is realistic to use the correct implementation implemented in many programming languages (Regular Exp r e s si on). For example, it is suitable for text search, extraction, and report generation, and the widely used programming ^^ Per 1 (Practical Extraction on and Report Language) uses “((1>) + )> ”When matching is performed, the character string between“ ku ”and“> ”is stored in the variable“ $ 1 ”, so“ $ 1 ”can be extracted as a keyword. By repeating, you can extract all the keywords in the sentence.

Lastly, the received keyword ¾ «5302 notifies the receiving user 104 through the main / reception unit 301 using the registration result as an e-mail, and completes the received keyword registration (step 404). Then, the mail can be received at the PC of the receiving user 104.

(1 1 B) Information mail delivery

In the following, information mail distribution in normal distribution will be described. Each step should refer to the flowchart in Fig. 8.

On the PC, user 101 has the mail address “mailing@example.com” for information mail delivery as the mail address, the keyword to be set for information mail 102 in the name of the main name, and “Jazz Type “Surface DVD”. Or Proverbs As shown in Fig. 9, the user 1 0 1 enters the keywords in the text enclosed in “ku” and “>”. Then, the PC accepts what is input in this way, and says this e-mail to “mailing@example.com” (step 8 0 1).

Meno H¾¾ communication section 3 0 1 receives mail addressed to “mailing@example.com” ^ \ Deliver the mail to information mail distribution section 3 0 4 (step 8 0 2) ₀

The information mail delivery unit 3 0 4 extracts the character string with the subject separated by a space as one keyword if there is no “J” or “>” in the delivered mail body, and “<” appears in the body. If there is a “>”, the sentence IJ enclosed by “ku” and “>” is taken as one keyword and extracted in the same way as the received keyword registration described above. Furthermore, a random sentence II, for example, “S 7 we 9 E p 2 e A” is generated, and the extracted keyword, the source mail address, and the main text are associated with each other to create an information menu as shown in FIG. ^ Store temporarily in the information storage table 10 0 1 provided in the database 3 0 5 (step 8 0 3).

In addition, the information mail distribution unit 3 0 4 adds the random sentence ^^ generated earlier to the end of the subject of the mail, sets the original mail address as “mai] ing—ok@example.com”, and the fungus user In 1 0 1, a delivery mail as shown in FIG. 11 is declared (step 8 0 4). Then, the mail can be received by PC of Proverbs user 1 0 1.

Furthermore, the information mail distribution unit 3 0 4 collates the extracted keyword with the received keyword table 7 0 1, lists the corresponding receiving user, associates it with the previous information mail 1 1 0 0 1,一覧 Self-confidence user list Β # ί Temporarily save in the tape 1100 2 (step 8 0 5).

Specifically, for example, keywords such as “jazz”, “movie”, and “DV D” are extracted from the e-mail shown in FIG. This keyword is also the first reception pattern of the “aaa@aaa.co.jp” user in the reception keyword table 7 0 1 of FIG. 7, that is, “CD”. Or, “DVD” is set as a keyword, “Jazz” is set as a keyword, and “New Orleans” is not set as a keyword. As a result, “aaa@aaa.co.jp” is assumed to be a credible personality, and the distribution user list is displayed as a one-day table 1 0 0 2. In this way, by listing distribution destinations in advance, ^ [User 1 10 1 can perform distribution processing quickly and forcefully when distribution is determined.

Next, the word user 1 0 1 receives the delivery stone crane mail from the delivery server 1 0 3 (Step 8 0 6) and delivers it: ^ returns the email as it is to the delivery server 1 0 3. (Step 8 0 7). (At that time, it will be automatically replied to “mai ing_ok@example.com”.) Meno Hi¾ 信部 3 0 1 received an email addressed to “mailing_ok@exaniple.com” ^^ It is delivered to the distribution unit 3 0 4 (step 8 0 8).

The information mail distribution part 3 0 4 is the same as the one of the sentence ^^ and the weekly email address at the end of the delivered mail subject. (Step 8 0 9). 1 ¾i ", Distribute distribution user list temporary storage table 1 0 0 2 Distribute information mail 1 0 2, and send information mail 1 0 0 1 information mail to information mail Move to table 1 0 0 3 (step 8 1 0).

Finally, the information mail delivery unit 3 0 4 uses the delivery result as an e-mail and tells the user 1 0 1 through the main 1 ^ receiving unit 3 0 1 to complete the information mail delivery (step 8 1 1). . Then, the mail can be received by the PC of the witness user 1 0 1.

(2) Official distribution

(2— A) Official keyword registration

The following explains ^: keyword registration in distribution. Each step shall refer to the flowchart in Fig. 12. The word user 1 0 1 uses the official keyword registration email address “official@example.com” as the email address on the PC, and ^ (the keyword (for identifying the word user 1 0 1 itself) in the main text. After that, the official keyword is entered, and the PC accepts the entry and utters this e-mail to “0fficial@example.com” (Step 1 2 0 1). Since the user receives all information categories corresponding to the reception pattern, he / she can exchange information with unknown parties, and exchange information that does not require much certainty of content, such as exchanging opinions with individuals. However, it is impossible to receive an information mail that a certain specific user says, and therefore an information mail with a high degree of certainty, and it is possible to distinguish a specific thank-you user. Therefore, in the delivery, the sending user can register the official keyword in advance, and the receiving user can receive only the information mail sent from the registrant of the official keyword. The keyword input method is, for example, the municipality of 00 ward (may be 〇 prefecture or 〇巿), etc. Power S “〇 ward office” ( If yes, register the key word “0 city” as the official key word, and enter “00 ward office” in the email body.

The Meno H¾ receiver 3 0 1 receives the mail addressed to “official@example.com” ^^, and hands it over to the official keyword registration section 3 0 6 (step 1 2 0 2).

The keyword registration unit 3 0 6 extracts the sentence U of the delivered mail body as a keyword, and the ^: official key word table of the keyword database 3 0 7 as shown in Fig. 1 3 1 0 2 Check if the same official keyword is already registered in (Step 1203). If you have already registered, tell the word user 1 0 1 that you have already registered, and if you have not registered, generate a random sentence, keyword one day # | Temporary storage of data in the disambiguation table 1 3 0 1 1 2 0 4), 文 ΛΠ of a random sentence ^^ at the end of the email subject, conversion of the appropriate source email address (this ^^ “officiaLok@example.com”), and the official keyword registration email ( Step 1 2 0 5). After the transmission, through the reply (step 1 2 0 6, step 1 2 0 7, step 1 2 0 8), if the user 1 0 1 is # (step 1 2 0 9), the official keyword Move the official keyboard of the solar radiation table 1 3 0 1 to the official keyboard tape 1 3 0 2 (step 1 2 1 0).

Finally, the official keyword registration unit 3 06 transmits the registration result as an e-mail to the transmission user 1 0 1 through the mail receiving unit 3 0 1 and completes the official key registration (step 1 2 1 1). Then, the mail can be received by the PC of the spoken user 1 0 1.

(2-B) Receive keyword registration

In the following, the received keyword registration in the official distribution will be explained. Reception key registration for distribution is the same as reception key registration for normal distribution, but differs in the following points.

When the receiving user inputs the receiving key into the pc, he / she received only the information mail of the key word registered user! /, ¾ ^ enclose the official keyword of the appropriate user with “<<” and “>>”. For example, you can receive the information mail of a word user who has a keyword set to “volunteer” or “flea market” and who has registered “00 ward office” as an official keyword. Become.

In addition, the received keyword registration unit 3 0 2 When extracting the sentence in the delivered mail body, the character string enclosed in “<<” and “>>” is extracted as the official keyword, and the official key database In the official key table of Fig. 1 3, whether or not the official key is already registered in the 1 3 0 2 table. If you have n’t registered yet, “Register the official keyword. Tell the receiving user that they are not speaking. Or, if it has been registered, the remaining keywords are extracted and associated with the source mail address in the same manner as the receiving key registration for normal distribution, and the receiving key database in Figure 7 is received. Save to.

(2-C) Information mail delivery

In the following, information mail distribution in distribution will be described. Distribution of information mail in distribution is the same as information mail distribution in normal distribution, but differs in the following points.

Information mail distribution unit 3 0 4 force S When listing the corresponding recipient users, the key words extracted from the information mail 1 0 2 and the official user keywords are checked against the received key table 7 0 1 List users. Specifically, the word user who has registered the ^^ keyboard called “00 ward office” proclaimed the mail shown in Fig. 15 as an information mail. j “0000 Park”, “Disaster Prevention Training”, “Cycle” and “Porantia” are the second receiving patterns of “aaa@aaa.co.jp” user in the received keyword table 7 0 1 of FIG. Since “volunteer” or “free market” is set as a keyword, and it corresponds to a pattern that is set as “official district”, it is “aaa@aaa.co.jp”. As a reminder, the distribution user list 1 3 is stored in the table 1 100 2.

In addition, if a user whose keyword is not “00 ward office” sends the same mail as in Fig. 15, the extracted keywords “March 19” “00 Park” “Disaster drill” “ ”“ Poorantia J is “aaa@aaa.co.] 'P” Since the official keyword does not match the user's second received pattern, “aaa@aaa.co.jp” is not included in the distribution. ,.

Therefore, the receiving user can limit the spoken users of information mail to be delivered It is. For example, if the receiving user simply registers the received keyword “dislike information”, the personal information S transmitted “Tonami information”, the observation group power of amateurs S transmitted “Eshide information”, the weather forecasting agency power transmitted There is a possibility that a lot of information such as “skin information” will be distributed. At this time, if the weather forecast agency power ¾ ^ keyword has been registered, the receiving user can limit the information to the information sent by the weather forecast agency power S by setting the keyword in the received pattern.

The weather forecasting agency mentioned above is not particularly limited, and may be a public one such as による ^ or a private one.

(3) Range designation registration

The following describes how to register a range. Range specification registration is a method of receiving keyword registration. When receiving keywords are registered, the continuous update and end values are reported to the distribution server 1 0 3 so that they are between those values. It automatically compensates for the value.

The reception key registration in the range designation registration is the same as the reception key registration in the normal distribution, but differs in the following points.

When the receiving user enters the receiving keyword, if you want to receive information mail with a specific range of keywords, use the special symbol “~” to specify the range. For example, the station name in the range of “Railway station 力” to “髓 station G” registered in the email in Fig. 16 is set as a keyword, and “1 0 0 0 0 0 yen J to“ 1 3 It is now possible to receive information emails where the monetary unit within the range of `` 5 0 0 0 yen '' is set as a keyword and the floor plan for housing within the range of `` 2 DK '' from the minimum value is set as the keyword. Become.

In addition, the received keyword registration unit 3 0 2 Power bow I If the special symbol “~” exists when extracting the sentence IJ in the passed mail body, the range list database 30 shown in FIG. 8 There is a sentence on the left side of "~"("railway station Α", "100,000 yen") and a character string on the right side ("railway station G", "135000 yen", "2DK")廳廳. If not, it informs the receiving user that there is an error in the specified range. Alternatively, the range list database in Figure 17 shows the values within the range of “髓 'station A” to “ma' station G” of the railway company 1701 Combine the value in the range of “00000” to “135000” and the value in the range of “2DK” from the minimum value of the floor plan type tape 1703 with “|” to associate it with the email address. The reception key database is stored in the reception key table 701 in FIG.

The information mail distribution in the range designation registration is the same as the information mail distribution in the normal distribution.

In other words, when registering a received keyword, the designation “ku 纖 station A ~ 纖 station G>” is “ku 鍾 station AI«, | RB I 髓 station CI 鍾 station DI 鍾 station EI 鍾 station F | > ”. The designation “ku 100000 yen to 135000 yen>” is replaced with “ku 100000 yen 1 101000 yen 1 102000 yen I (omitted) 1 133000 yen 1 134000 yen | 1 35000 yen>”. The designation “ku ~ 2DK>” is replaced with “ku IR i IK | IDK I 1 LDK I 2K I 2DK>”. Therefore, when searching for information distribution, the received keyword has already been replaced. For example, “120 000 yen”, “Sakai Station D”, “1LDK” are set as keywords. It is possible to receive information mail as shown in Fig. 18.
