Description

Communication system, communication method, and communication program

The present invention relates to a communication system, a communication method, and a communication program.

In recent years, information communication is frequently performed. For example, a call or email transmission from one user to another user is performed using an information communication device such as a telephone, a mobile phone, or a smartphone. In order to make a call or send an e-mail to another user, contact information such as the telephone number or e-mail address of the other user is required. For example, an information communication device such as a mobile phone generally has a storage area in the information communication apparatus, and stores contact information of an acquaintance in the storage area. The contact information is managed as personal information for each acquaintance called address data or the like. For example, when one user makes a call to an acquaintance, a telephone number is extracted based on the name of the other party, and a call is made to the telephone number. Recently, a method of managing personal information such as contact information as address data on a management server has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2007-334617 A

However, when one user makes a call to another user who is not an acquaintance for the first time, it is a phone call from an unknown person to the other user. The personal data of one user is not registered in advance in the address data of other users' information communication devices. Moreover, it is not registered as address data on the management server of other users.

Therefore, other users who have received a phone call do not know who the phone is from. Other users must bother to register the personal information of one user in the address data on their information communication device or management server, but the registration work is troublesome.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and when the users contact each other by information communication such as telephone and e-mail (that is, when information communication is executed), it takes little effort. Another object of the present invention is to provide a communication system, a communication method, and a communication program that can easily and conveniently register attribute information of a counterpart user in the information communication device.

In order to solve the above problems, a communication system as an exemplary aspect of the present invention is a communication system that performs information communication with a first user information communication device and information communication with a second user information communication device. A user database constructed by associating identification information for identifying the first user with attribute information including contact information of the first user, information communication equipment of the first user and information communication of the second user A determination unit that determines whether information communication has been performed with the device; and a transmission unit that transmits the attribute information of the first user in the user database to the information communication device of the second user. Then, the transmission unit determines the attribute information of the first user in the user database after the determination unit determines that information communication is performed between the information communication device of the first user and the information communication device of the second user. 2 It is transmitted to the over The information communication equipment.

Since the transmission unit transmits the attribute information after the information communication between the information communication device of the first user and the information communication device of the second user is executed, the second user sends the attribute information to his / her information communication device. The transmittable attribute information of the first user can be registered easily and conveniently. If the transmission unit is configured to automatically transmit the transmittable attribute information of the first user to the information communication device of the second user based on the determination that “information communication has been performed” by the determination unit Even if the first user does not operate, own attribute information is transmitted to the second user. The second user can easily receive the attribute information of the first user, and registers the attribute information of the first user in his / her information communication device without bothering to input the name of the first user himself / herself. can do.

Here, the information communication device means an information communication device that performs communication of all kinds of information such as image information, audio information, and text information, and includes, for example, a telephone, a mobile phone, a PC, a smartphone, and the like. Therefore, information communication includes “contacts (telephone contact, mail contact, message transmission, etc.)” such as telephone calls, videophone calls, etc., and transmission / reception of e-mails and SMS (short message service) mails. Information communication via SNS (Social Networking Service) is also included in the information communication of the present application. The 1st user said in this specification is a sender who performs information dispatch to the 2nd user, and the 2nd user is a receiver who receives the dispatch information from the 1st user.

The identification information is information for distinguishing the user from other users, and may be, for example, a telephone number, a mail address, a name, etc. as part of the attribute information. Of course, it may be a serial number assigned to each user. The attribute information is personal information of the user, and may include the user's name, address, telephone number, mail address, SNS ID information, and the like. The attribute information includes contact information. The contact information is, for example, information such as a telephone number, a mail address, an SMS destination (generally a mobile phone number) used for a communication mode such as a telephone, e-mail, and SMS mail. When the communication mode is SNS, the SNS ID information is also contact information.

The function of the transmission unit that transmits the attribute information of the first user to the information communication device of the second user is the function of “synchronizing the user database of the communication system and the address book in the information communication device of the second user” Can also be conceptualized. For example, when there is no attribute information of the first user in the address book stored in the information communication device of the second user, the attribute information of the first user included in the user database is obtained by synchronizing with the user database. It becomes possible to transmit to the information communication equipment of 2 users.

The user database is constructed by further associating identification information for identifying the second user with attribute information including the contact information of the second user, and the transmission unit includes attributes of the second user in the user database. The information processing apparatus further includes a function of transmitting information to the information communication device of the second user, and the transmission unit performs information communication between the information communication device of the first user and the information communication device of the second user. After determining that it has been executed, the attribute information of the second user in the user database may be further transmitted to the information communication device of the first user.

According to this aspect, the attribute information of the first user can be transmitted to the information communication device of the second user, and the attribute information of the second user can be transmitted to the information communication device of the first user.

The function of the transmission unit that transmits the attribute information of the second user to the information communication device of the first user is the function of “synchronizing the user database of the communication system and the address book in the information communication device of the first user” Can also be conceptualized. For example, when there is no attribute information of the second user in the address book stored in the information communication device of the first user, the attribute information of the second user in the user database is obtained by synchronizing with the user database. It is possible to transmit to one user's information communication device.

The user database is constructed by further associating the attribute information of the first user and the transmission permission / inhibition information indicating whether transmission to the second user is possible or not possible. After determining that information communication has been executed between the device and the information communication device of the second user, it is associated with transmission permission / prohibition information indicating that transmission to the second user is possible in the attribute information of the first user in the user database. Alternatively, only the transmittable attribute information of the first user may be transmitted to the information communication device of the second user.

In the attribute information of the first user, only information that can be transmitted to the second user (transmittable attribute information) is transmitted to the second user, and information that is not desired to be transmitted to the second user is not transmitted. Can do. Since whether to transmit to the second user can be set for each attribute information, it is possible to achieve both convenience and high-level personal information management.

Attribute information is associated with transmission availability information indicating whether transmission to other users is possible or impossible. For example, among the attribute information of the first user, the name, telephone number, and address are associated with transmission permission information indicating that transmission to the second user is possible, and the mail address and SNS ID information are transmitted to the second user. It may be associated with transmission permission / inhibition information indicating impossibility. In this case, the name, telephone number, and address of the first user are transmittable attribute information for the second user.

At the same time, for example, in the attribute information of the first user, the name and the mail address are associated with transmission permission / inhibition information indicating that transmission to a third user different from the second user is possible, and the address, telephone number, and SNS The ID information may be associated with transmission enable / disable information indicating that transmission to the third user is not possible. In this case, the name and mail address of the first user are the transmittable attribute information for the third user. Separately from the transmission permission / inhibition information indicating transmission permission / inhibition for a specific user, transmission permission / inhibition information indicating transmission permission / inhibition for all users is associated with the attribute information of the first user. For example, the name and telephone number of the first user are: It may be set so that transmission is possible to all users.

The determination unit determines that “information communication has been executed” when information communication between the information communication device of the first user and the information communication device of the second user is started. Alternatively, when the information communication between the information communication device of the first user and the information communication device of the second user is completed, the determination unit determines that “information communication has been executed”. It may be done.

The information processing device further includes a specifying unit that specifies a communication mode in information communication between the information communication device of the first user and the information communication device of the second user, and the transmission unit is specified by the specifying unit in the contact information of the first user. The contact information used for the contact mode is transmitted to the information communication device of the second user and the contact information other than the contact information used for the contact mode specified by the specifying unit among the contact information of the first user. The information may not be transmitted to the information communication device of the second user.

Since the contact mode is specified by the specifying unit and contact information other than the contact information used for the contact mode is not transmitted to the information communication device of the second user, it is used for a contact mode other than the contact mode used for the contact. Contact information is prevented from being unintentionally transmitted to the second user. For example, when the first user makes a call to the second user, the mail address of the first user is prevented from being unintentionally transmitted to the second user.

The contact information of the first user used for the communication mode specified by the specifying unit is transmitted to the information communication device of the second user. For example, when the first user places a call to the second user, the telephone number of the first user is transmitted to the second user. In this case, even if the phone number information of the first user is transmitted to the second user regardless of whether or not it is associated with the transmission permission / inhibition information that can be transmitted to the second user. Good. The telephone number information of the first user may be transmitted to the second user only when the first user's telephone number information is associated with transmission permission / prohibition information that can be transmitted to the second user.

When the determination unit detects the completion of information communication between the information communication device of the first user and the information communication device of the second user, the determination unit determines between the information communication device of the first user and the information communication device of the second user. It may be determined that information communication has been executed.

When the determination unit detects the completion of information communication, the determination unit determines that information communication is performed between the information communication device of the first user and the information communication device of the second user, and then the first user's information communication device Transmittable attribute information is transmitted toward the information communication device of the second user. Since the transmission of the first user's transmittable attribute information is not performed until the information communication between the information communication device of the first user and the information communication device of the second user is started and completed, the information communication device of the first user From the start to the completion of information communication with the information communication device of the second user can be executed quickly and smoothly. Then, after the information communication is completed, the transmission process of the transmittable attribute information can be smoothly executed.

A communication method as another exemplary aspect of the present invention is a communication method for performing information communication with a first user's information communication device and information communication with a second user's information communication device. A determination step for determining whether or not information communication has been executed between the communication device and the information communication device of the second user; an attribute including identification information for identifying the first user and contact information of the first user Based on the user database constructed in association with information, the attribute information of the first user in the user database is communicated between the information communication device of the first user and the information communication device of the second user. A transmission step of transmitting the information to the information communication device of the second user after the determination.

A communication program as another exemplary aspect of the present invention performs information communication with a first user information communication device, information communication with a first user information communication device, and information communication with a second user information communication device. A communication program that identifies a computer and a determination unit that determines whether information communication has been performed between an information communication device of a first user and an information communication device of a second user, and the first user Based on the user database constructed by associating the identification information for the attribute and the attribute information including the contact information of the first user, the attribute information of the first user in the user database and the information communication device of the first user After determining that information communication has been performed with the two-user information communication device, the transmission unit functions as a transmission unit that transmits the information to the second user information communication device.

According to still another exemplary aspect of the present invention, a communication method includes: a specifying step for specifying a communication mode in information communication performed by an information communication device of a first user and an information communication device of a second user; A determination step for determining whether or not there is contact information of a second user to be used for the identified contact mode in the user database having the contact information; and a second user to be used for the identified contact mode in the determination step A transmission step of automatically executing predetermined information transmission toward the information communication device of the second user when it is determined that the contact information is not in the user database.

For example, when the contact information of the second user is not registered in the user database, predetermined information may be automatically transmitted to the second user using SMS (Short Message Service) or the like. it can. SMS is a short text message transmission / reception service addressed to a telephone number (for example, a mobile phone number). As the predetermined information, for example, a solicitation e-mail having a content prompting registration in the user database can be exemplified.

The user database may be stored in the information communication device of the first user, or in a communication server connected so as to be able to perform information communication with the information communication device of the first user and the information communication device of the second user.

In the transmission step, predetermined information transmission is automatically executed from the information communication device of the first user toward the information communication device of the second user, or from the communication server to the information communication device of the second user. Also good.

As the user database, for example, an address book stored in the information communication device of the first user can be exemplified. In this case, the application program in the information communication device of the first user determines the presence or absence of the contact information of the second user in the address book. If there is no contact information, the information communication device of the first user It can be configured to automatically execute predetermined information transmission toward the information communication device of the user.

As the user database, for example, a user database stored in the communication server can be exemplified. In this case, the communication server determines the presence or absence of the contact information of the second user in the user database, and when there is no contact information, the communication server automatically sends predetermined information to the information communication device of the second user. Can be configured to run on.

According to still another exemplary aspect of the present invention, a communication method includes: a specifying step for specifying a communication mode in information communication performed by an information communication device of a first user and an information communication device of a second user; A determination step for determining whether or not there is contact information of the first user used for the specified communication mode in the user database having the contact information, and a first user used for the specified communication mode in the determination step A transmission step of automatically executing predetermined information transmission toward the information communication device of the second user when it is determined that the contact information is not in the user database.

As the user database, for example, an address book stored in the information communication device of the second user can be exemplified. When the contact information of the first user is not in the second user's address book, predetermined information transmission is automatically performed toward the information communication device of the second user, so that the second user is troublesome. Necessary information can be obtained without any operation. When the predetermined information is, for example, contact information of the first user, the second user can easily and conveniently register the contact information of the first user in the address book.

In addition, when the contact information of the first user is automatically transmitted to the information communication device of the second user, the transmission step can be conceptualized as a “contact information synchronization step”. This is convenient because the contact information of the first user is automatically registered in the address book even if the second user does not perform troublesome registration work in the address book.

In the determination step, when it is determined that the contact information of the first user used for the specified communication mode is in the user database, predetermined information transmission is performed toward the information communication device of the second user in the transmission step. You don't have to.

If there is contact information of the first user in the address book of the second user, the predetermined information transmission is not executed toward the information communication device of the second user. It is not necessary to execute predetermined information transmission to the user's information communication device. Contributes to reducing communication traffic. If the predetermined information is, for example, the contact information of the first user, the duplicate transmission of the same information can be prevented if the contact information of the first user exists in the address book of the second user. .

According to still another exemplary aspect of the present invention, there is provided a communication program comprising: a specifying unit that specifies a communication mode in information communication performed by a first user information communication device and a second user information communication device; A determination unit for determining whether or not there is contact information of the second user used for the specified contact mode in the user database having the contact information of the user, and the second user used for the specified contact mode When it is determined that the contact information is not in the user database, the information processing apparatus functions as a transmission unit that automatically executes predetermined information transmission toward the information communication device of the second user.

[Embodiment 1]
Hereinafter, a communication server (communication system) SS according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram showing an overall configuration of an attribute information transmission system S100 including the communication server SS. The attribute information transmission system S100 according to the first embodiment is configured by connecting a communication server SS and a plurality of user mobile phones (information communication devices) M1, M2, and M3 via a network N.

The network N may be, for example, the Internet, a LAN (local area network), or a telephone network. Depending on the type of information communication, it is possible to select a network that can communicate any one of information such as voice information, image information, and text information. In the first embodiment, a mobile phone is exemplified as the information communication device. However, various information communication devices such as a fixed phone, a PC, a smartphone, and a portable information terminal can be applied.

Of course, the attribute information transmission system S100 may include a large number of mobile phones, fixed phones, PCs, smartphones, and the like. In the first embodiment, the focus is on the mobile phone (first mobile phone) M1 of the first user, the mobile phone (second mobile phone) M2 of the second user, and the mobile phone (third mobile phone) M3 of the third user. I will explain.

The first mobile phone M1, the second mobile phone M2, and the third mobile phone M3 can talk to each other via the network N. In addition, the first mobile phone M1 and the second mobile phone M2 can send and receive e-mail to and from each other via the network N. Calls and e-mail transmission / reception using a mobile phone are generally realized using a telephone line network, the Internet network, or the like via a base station (not shown). In the first embodiment, description will be given by way of example, assuming that the network N realizes all information communication.

The communication server SS is a server computer that functions as a communication system constituting the main part of the attribute information transmission system S100. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an outline of the internal configuration of the communication server SS. The communication server SS includes a storage device 12, a CPU 14 as a main part of the computer, and a main memory 16. The storage device 12 is data storage means such as a hard disk, for example, and holds a communication program 18 therein.

The communication program 18 is a program for causing the communication server SS or the CPU 14 as a main part thereof to function as the determination unit 22, the specification unit 23, and the transmission unit 24. Each function of the CPU 14 exhibited by the communication program 18 will be described later.

The storage device 12 also holds a user database D1 inside. FIG. 3 is a data structure diagram showing an outline of the data structure of the user database D1. The user database D1 includes identification information 26, attribute information 27, and transmission permission / inhibition information 28 as internal information, and each information is constructed in association with each other as shown in FIG.

The identification information 26 is information for identifying the attribute information 27 in the user database D1 for each user. That is, all of the attribute information 27 associated with the identification information 26 of the first user is the attribute information 27 of the first user. The identification information 26 is different for each user. The identification information 26 may be a serial number sequentially assigned to each user, or may be name information as long as each user can be distinguished. In the first embodiment, a mobile phone number for each user is used as the identification information 26. In FIG. 3, the mobile phone number “090-XXXX-XXX1” of the first user is the identification information 26 of the first user, and the mobile phone number “090-XXXX-XXX2” of the second user is the identification of the second user. The case where it is the information 26 is illustrated. The name information and the mobile phone number are also attribute information 27 as will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 3, one user database D1 may be constructed by associating a plurality of user identification information 26, attribute information 27, and transmission permission / inhibition information 28 with each other. In addition, a different user database is constructed for each user, that is, for each identification information 26, and in one user database, the user attribute information 27 related to the specific identification information 26 and the transmission permission / inhibition information 28 are associated with each other. May be. In this case, a plurality of user databases are constructed for each identification information 26.

The identification information 26 may be set in the user database D1 in advance based on a public address book or telephone number book. Further, the first user may access the communication server SS from the first mobile phone M1 and register his / her identification information 26 via a registration screen (not shown).

Attribute information 27 is information indicating user attributes and is personal information. The attribute information 27 includes contact information such as a fixed telephone number 27a, a mobile phone number 27b, and an e-mail address 27c, and further includes user name information 27d, address information 27e, and SNS (social networking system) ID information 27f. The first user identification information 26 is associated with the first user attribute information 27, and the second user identification information 26 is associated with the second user attribute information 27.

The transmission permission / inhibition information 28 is information indicating whether or not the user attribute information 27 can be transmitted to other users. For example, the attribute information 27 of the first user is associated with transmission permission / inhibition information 28 indicating whether transmission to another user such as the second user or the third user is possible. The transmission permission / inhibition information 28 is individually associated with each piece of attribute information 27, that is, the mobile phone number 27b, the mail address 27c, the SNS ID information 27f, and the like. Each attribute information 27 is associated with transmission enable / disable information 28 for each of other users, that is, transmission enable / disable information 28 for the second user, transmit enable / disable information 28 for the third user, and the like. The attribute information 27 associated with the transmission permission / inhibition information indicating transmission permission is transmitted to the other party according to the transmission command from the transmission unit 24. The attribute information 27 associated with the transmission permission / inhibition information indicating that transmission is impossible is not transmitted to the other party regardless of the transmission command from the transmission unit 24.

To describe a specific example, the mobile phone number 27b of the first user and the name information 27d are associated with the transmission permission / inhibition information 28 indicating that transmission to the second user is possible, the first user's mail address 27c, the SNS ID information 27f, Is associated with transmission permission / inhibition information 28 indicating that transmission to the second user is disabled. In this case, when the transmitting unit 24 transmits the attribute information 27 of the first user to the second mobile phone M2, the mobile phone number 27b of the first user and the name information 27d are transmitted, and the mail address 27c of the first user is transmitted. And SNS ID information 27f are not transmitted.

On the other hand, the first user's mail address 27c, name information 27d, and SNS ID information 27f are associated with transmission permission / inhibition information 28 indicating that transmission to the third user is possible, and the first user's mobile phone number 27b is the third user. Assume that it is associated with transmission permission / inhibition information 28 indicating that transmission is not possible. In this case, when the transmission unit 24 transmits the attribute information 27 of the first user to the third mobile phone M3 of the third user, the first user's mail address 27c, name information 27d, and SNS ID information 27f are transmitted. The mobile phone number 27b of the first user is not transmitted.

That is, the attribute information 27a to 27f of the attribute information 27 of the first user can be selectively set by the first user as appropriate to which user the attribute information 27a to 27f is disclosed to which user. The setting of the transmission permission / inhibition information 28 for each destination user for the attribute information 27 may be performed by using the first mobile phone M1 through a registration screen (not shown) as in the case of registration of the identification information 26.

Subsequently, each function performed by the CPU 14 by the communication program 18 will be described. In the first embodiment, the communication program 18 is described as being stored in the storage device 12 in the communication server SS. However, in reality, there is no limitation on the storage location of the communication program 18. In short, the communication server SS and the mobile phones M1 to M3 only need to function as described in the first embodiment.

A communication application program that functions in cooperation with the communication program 18 may be stored in each of the mobile phones M1 to M3. Alternatively, some of the functions exhibited by the communication program 18 may be stored as subprograms in each of the mobile phones M1 to M3. For example, registration information displayed on the display screens of the mobile phones M1 to M3 in the setting of the identification information 26 and the transmission permission / inhibition information 28 described above, and information transmission from the mobile phones M1 to M3 described later to the communication server SS side. The operation or the like may be realized based on a function exhibited by a program stored on the mobile phone M1 to M3 side.

The determination unit 22 is for determining whether information communication between mobile phones has been executed. “Whether or not information communication between mobile phones has been executed” is whether or not a call has been made between mobile phones, and whether or not an e-mail was sent from one mobile phone to another mobile phone. Whether or not is included.

In addition, regarding a call, it may be determined that “information communication between mobile phones has been started” or “information communication between mobile phones has been executed”, or “call between mobile phones is completed (terminated)” It may be determined that “information communication between mobile phones has been executed” or “a phone call from one mobile phone to another mobile phone has been started”. It may be determined that “information communication has been performed”. In the mobile 1 of the present embodiment, an example will be described in which it is determined that “communication between mobile phones has been completed (terminated)” that “information communication between mobile phones has been executed”.

The determination unit 22 detects the completion of a call between mobile phones. When the first user places a call to the second user, information communication from the first mobile phone M1 to the second mobile phone M2 is started. Then, when the call ends and any user presses the call end button, the information communication between the first mobile phone M1 and the second mobile phone M2 is completed.

For example, based on the function of the program stored on the mobile phone side, a completion signal Sg1 indicating completion of the call is transmitted from at least one of the first mobile phone M1 and the second mobile phone M2 to the communication server SS. When receiving the completion signal Sg 1, the determination unit 22 on the communication server SS side determines that information communication between the first mobile phone M 1 and the second mobile phone M 2 has been performed, and transmits the determination result to the transmission unit 24. .

When the specifying unit 23 described later specifies that the communication mode is “e-mail”, for example, a completion signal indicating completion of e-mail transmission based on the function of the program stored on the mobile phone side. Sg1 may be transmitted from at least one of the first mobile phone M1 and the second mobile phone M2 toward the communication server SS.

The identifying unit 23 identifies a communication mode in information communication between mobile phones. The “contact mode” here means information indicating in what communication mode information communication from one information communication device to another information communication device is performed, for example, a mobile phone (call), This is information indicating any of fixed telephone (call), videophone (call with image), e-mail, short message, chat and the like.

In the first embodiment, when the communication from the first mobile phone M1 to the second mobile phone M2 is a mobile phone contact, for example, based on the function of the program stored on the mobile phone side, A communication mode signal Sg2 indicating that the communication mode is “mobile phone” is transmitted from at least one of the two mobile phones M2 into the communication server SS. When receiving the communication mode signal Sg 2 indicating “mobile phone”, the specifying unit 23 of the communication server SS transmits the communication mode signal Sg 2 to the transmission unit 24.

After the determination unit 22 determines that the information communication between the mobile phones has been executed, the transmission unit 24 transmits the transmission-possible attribute associated with the transmission permission / inhibition information 28 indicating that transmission is possible in the user attribute information 27 toward the mobile phone. Information 29 is transmitted. Specifically, in the first embodiment, when the determination unit 22 receives the completion signal Sg1 and determines that the call between the first mobile phone M1 and the second mobile phone M2 is finished, the determination result is received. The transmission unit 24 transmits the first user's transmittable attribute information 29 to the second mobile phone M2. At the same time, the second user transmittable attribute information 29 (the second user attribute information 27 associated with the transmittable transmitability information 28 for the first user) is also transmitted to the first mobile phone M1.

At this time, all of the contact information associated with the identification information 26 of the first user is transmitted to the second mobile phone M2 and is associated with the transmission permission / inhibition information 28 indicating that transmission to the second user is possible. Also good. Similarly, out of the contact information associated with the identification information 26 of the second user, all the information associated with the transmission availability information 28 indicating that transmission to the first user is possible is transmitted to the first mobile phone M1. Also good.

However, in the first embodiment, the transmitting unit 24 does not transmit contact information other than the contact information related to the contact mode indicated by the contact mode signal Sg2 received from the specifying unit 23 to the mobile phone. For example, when the communication mode signal Sg2 received from the specifying unit 23 indicates “mobile phone”, the attribute information 27 of the first user is associated with the transmission permission information 28 indicating that transmission to the second user is possible. Of the received information, only the mobile phone number 27b is transmitted.

Even if contact information other than the mobile phone number 27b of the first user, for example, the fixed phone number 27a, the mail address 27c, etc. is associated with the transmission permission / inhibition information 28 indicating that transmission to the second user is possible, these mails are also possible. Even if the contact information such as the address 27c is not yet associated with the transmission permission / inhibition information 28 for the second user, the contact information such as the mail address 27c is not transmitted to the second mobile phone M2.

Similarly, even if contact information such as the fixed telephone number 27a and the mail address 27c of the second user is associated with the transmission availability information 28 indicating that transmission to the first user is possible, the contact information and the first information Even if the association with the transmission permission / inhibition information 28 for one user has not been made yet, the contact information is not transmitted to the first mobile phone M1.

Hereinafter, the overall operation of the attribute information transmission system S100 when information communication between mobile phones is executed will be described.

<When the first user places a mobile phone on the second user for the first time>
FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the attribute information transmission system S100 when the first user places a mobile phone on the second user for the first time. Here, when the first user places a mobile phone on the second user, a program that cooperates with the communication program 18 is activated in each mobile phone, and each mobile phone sends a completion signal Sg1 to the communication server SS. And the communication mode signal Sg2 may be transmitted.

The first user places a mobile phone on the second user (S1). More specifically, information communication (call) from the first mobile phone M1 to the second mobile phone M2 is executed. Thereafter, the first user or the second user hangs up (S2).

Upon completion of the call, a completion signal Sg1 is transmitted from the first mobile phone M1 to the communication server SS (S3). At the same time, the communication mode signal Sg2 indicating that the information communication between the first mobile phone M1 and the second mobile phone M2 is a "mobile phone" call is transmitted from the first mobile phone M1 to the communication server SS (S4). .

The communication server SS that has received the completion signal Sg1 and the communication mode signal Sg2 extracts the transmittable attribute information 29 of the first user to be transmitted to the second mobile phone M2 from the user database D1 (S5). More specifically, the communication server SS includes information associated with transmission permission / inhibition information 28 indicating that transmission to the second user is possible among the attribute information 27 associated with the identification information 26 of the first user from the user database D1. To extract. However, the communication server SS does not extract information other than the mobile phone number 27b in the contact information of the first user based on the content “mobile phone” of the contact mode signal Sg2.

The communication server SS transmits to the second mobile phone M2 the transmittable attribute information 29 of the first user extracted from the user database D1 as information to be transmitted to the second mobile phone M2 (S6). The second user can easily and conveniently receive the transmittable attribute information 29 of the first user after a while after the call with the first user, despite the first call with the first user. At the time of reception, almost no troublesome operation is required.

If the first user's name information 27d and mobile phone number 27b are included in the sendable attribute information 29, the second user can easily use the first user's name and mobile phone number as the address data of the second mobile phone M2. Can be registered. There is no need to bother to confirm the name of the first user. On the other hand, when the communication mode is “mobile phone”, it is effectively prevented that the second user inadvertently knows the fixed telephone number or mail address of the first user.

Here, the communication server SS also extracts the second user transmittable attribute information 29 to be transmitted to the first mobile phone M1 from the user database D1 (S7). The extraction procedure is substantially the same as the extraction procedure of the transmittable attribute information 29 of the first user to be transmitted to the second mobile phone M2. Since the communication mode signal Sg2 indicates that the call is “mobile phone”, the mobile phone number 27b of the second user is extracted toward the first mobile phone M1, but the second mobile phone number 27b other than the mobile phone number 27b is extracted. User contact information is not extracted.

The communication server SS transmits the second user's transmittable attribute information 29 extracted from the user database D1 as information to be transmitted to the first mobile phone M1 to the first mobile phone M1 (S8). The first user can easily and conveniently receive the second user's transmittable attribute information 29 after a while after the call with the second user, despite the first call with the second user. At the time of reception, almost no troublesome operation is required.

<When the first user sends e-mail to the third user for the first time>
FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the attribute information transmission system S100 when the first user transmits an e-mail to the third user for the first time. Here, when the first user sends an e-mail to the third user, a program that cooperates with the communication program 18 is activated in each mobile phone, and each mobile phone sends a completion signal to the communication server SS. You may be in the state in which transmission of Sg1 and transmission of the communication mode signal Sg2 are possible.

The first user sends an e-mail to the third user (S11). More specifically, information communication (e-mail transmission) via the network N from the first mobile phone M1 to the third mobile phone M3 is executed. In response to the e-mail transmission, a completion signal Sg1 is transmitted from the first mobile phone M1 to the communication server SS (S12). At the same time, the communication mode signal Sg2 indicating that the information communication between the first mobile phone M1 and the third mobile phone M3 is “e-mail” transmission from the first mobile phone M1 to the communication server SS (S13). .

The communication server SS that has received the completion signal Sg1 and the communication mode signal Sg2 extracts the transmittable attribute information 29 of the first user to be transmitted to the third mobile phone M3 from the user database D1 (S14). More specifically, the communication server SS includes information associated with transmission permission / inhibition information 28 indicating that transmission to the third user is possible from the attribute information 27 associated with the identification information 26 of the first user from the user database D1. To extract. However, the communication server SS does not extract information other than the mail address 27c from the contact information of the first user based on the content “e-mail” of the contact mode signal Sg2.

The communication server SS transmits to the third mobile M3 the transmittable attribute information 29 of the first user extracted from the user database D1 as information to be transmitted to the third mobile M3 (S15). The third user can easily and conveniently receive the first user's sendable attribute information 29 after receiving e-mail from the first user for a while after receiving the first e-mail from the first user. it can. At the time of reception, almost no troublesome operation is required.

If the first user's name information 27d, the mail address 27c, and the SNS ID information 27f are included in the sendable attribute information 29, the third user has the first user's name, mobile phone number, and SNS ID information. Can be easily registered in the address data of the third mobile phone M3. There is no need to bother to confirm the name of the first user and the SNS ID information. On the other hand, when the communication mode is “e-mail”, it is effectively prevented that the third user inadvertently knows the fixed telephone number or the mobile phone number of the first user.

Here, the communication server SS also extracts the transmittable attribute information 29 of the third user to be transmitted to the first mobile phone M1 from the user database D1 (S16). The extraction procedure is substantially the same as the extraction procedure of the transmittable attribute information 29 of the first user to be transmitted to the third mobile phone M3. Since the communication mode signal Sg2 indicates that “e-mail” is transmitted, the third user's mail address 27c is extracted toward the first mobile phone M1, but the third user other than the mail address 27c is contacted. Prior information is not extracted.

The communication server SS transmits, to the first mobile phone M1, the transmittable attribute information 29 of the third user extracted from the user database D1 as information to be transmitted to the first mobile phone M1 (S17). After the e-mail transmission to the third user for a while, the first user can easily and conveniently receive the transmittable attribute information 29 of the third user despite the first e-mail transmission to the third user. it can. At the time of reception, almost no troublesome operation is required.

<When registering send permission information>
Next, a procedure for the first user to register or change data in the user database D1 related to himself / herself will be described. When the first user registers his / her information in the user database D1 for the first time, or after changing the first mobile phone call with the second user, the transmission permission / inhibition information 28 for the second user is changed, etc. , The first user accesses the communication server SS from the first mobile phone M1, and edits the user database D1 in the communication server SS.

FIG. 6 is an example of the registration / editing screen 30 of the user database D1 displayed on the display screen of the first mobile phone M1. When the user database D1 in the communication server SS is accessed from the first mobile phone M1, the identification information 26 of the first user in the data in the user database D1 (the mobile phone number of the first mobile phone in the first embodiment). Only the first user attribute information 27 and the transmission permission / inhibition information 28 associated therewith are displayed. The attribute information 27 of other users (second user, third user, etc.) is not displayed.

When the first user is not registered in his / her attribute information, for example, when the address information 27e is not yet registered, the first user registers his / her address information 27e by operating the button of the first mobile phone M1. In addition, if it is considered that the second user may be notified of the mail address 27c associated with the transmission permission / inhibition information 28 indicating that transmission to the second user is not permitted, the second address associated with the mail address 27c is stored. The content of the transmission permission / inhibition information 28 for the user is modified from “transmission impossible” to “transmission enabled” by a button operation.

When the registration work or the correction work is completed and the first user confirms the information content, the data content of the user database D1 is updated. Here, when there is a change in the transmission permission information 28 for the second user, specifically, when the transmission permission information 28 for the second user is changed from “transmission impossible” to “transmission enabled”, The communication server SS accesses the second mobile phone M2 and transmits the attribute information 27 of the user who has been newly set to “transmittable” to the second mobile phone M2.

The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and various modifications and changes can be made within the scope of the gist.

For example, in the first embodiment, the case where the transmission source that transmits the completion signal Sg1 and the communication mode signal Sg2 is the first mobile phone M1 is described as an example, but of course the first mobile phone M1 (communication source of information communication) ) Transmits a completion signal Sg1 and a communication mode signal Sg2 to the communication server SS, or transmits a completion signal Sg1 and a communication mode signal Sg2 from the second mobile phone M2 (communication destination of information communication) to the communication server SS. This can be changed according to the convenience of the system.

In the first embodiment, when the communication mode is a call using a mobile phone, the completion signal Sg1 is transmitted toward the communication server SS when the call is completed. For example, the first mobile phone M1 The completion signal Sg1 may be transmitted from the first portable M1 to the communication server SS in response to the start of a call from the mobile phone M2 or the start of a call. By configuring in this way, the second user can know the transmittable attribute information 29 of the first user before the start of the call or during the call.

When the identifying unit 23 identifies the contact mode, various variations can be considered regarding whether or not the contact information can be transmitted. For example, when the phone call from the first mobile phone M1 to the second mobile phone M2 is completed, the mobile phone number 27b and the mail address 27c of the contact information of the first user are transmitted to the second user. In the case where it is permitted, the mobile phone number 27b is extracted and transmitted and the mail address 27c is extracted, with the communication mode signal Sg2 being more important than the transmission permission / inhibition information 28 as in the first embodiment. It is also possible to configure such that no data is transmitted. Further, it is also possible to configure such that the transmission possibility information 28 is more important than the communication mode signal Sg2, and the mail address 27c is extracted and transmitted together with the mobile phone number 27b.

For example, when the mobile phone call from the first mobile phone M1 to the second mobile phone M2 is completed, the mobile phone number 27b in the contact information of the first user is not transmitted to the second user. The mobile phone number 27b can be extracted and transmitted, or it can be changed so as not to be transmitted without being extracted depending on whether the communication mode signal Sg2 or the transmission enable / disable information 28 is important. It is.

In other words,
(A1) The contact information related to the contact mode specified by the contact mode signal Sg2 is always transmitted. (A2) The contact information related to the contact mode specified by the contact mode signal Sg2 is also transmitted. (B1) Contact information other than the contact information related to the contact mode specified by the contact mode signal Sg2 is always disabled (b2) by the contact mode signal Sg2. For contact information other than the contact information related to the specified contact mode, either (a1) or (a2) is selected from the four patterns that allow transmission if the transmission availability information 28 is transmittable. Which of (b1) and (b2) is selected can be appropriately selected according to the circumstances of the system.

In the user database D1, the attribute information 27 of many users is associated with the identification information 26. In the initial state, the mobile phone number 27b and the name information 27d among the attribute information 27 are for all users. May be allowed to be transmitted. By setting the initial state in this way, even when the first user who has not edited the user database D1 makes a call to the second user for the first time with the mobile phone, the second mobile phone M2 is set after the call is finished. On the other hand, the mobile phone number 27b of the first user and the name information 27d are transmitted.

In the initial state of the user database D1, whether all of the attribute information 27 is set to transmission disabled, all of the attribute information 27 is set to transmission enabled, or only a part of the attribute information 27 (for example, only the name information 27d and the mobile phone number 27b, Whether only the name information 27d) is set to be transmittable can be selected as appropriate in terms of system construction.

In the first embodiment, the user database D1 has the transmission availability information 28, but the user database D1 may not have the transmission availability information 28. That is, the attribute information 27 and the transmission permission / inhibition information 28 may not be associated with each other. In this case, a process similar to the case where all of the attribute information 27 in the first embodiment is set to be transmittable may be executed. That is, if it is determined that the information communication between the first mobile phone M1 and the second mobile phone M2 has been executed, even if all of the first user attribute information 27 included in the user database D1 is transmitted to the second mobile phone M2. Good.

Of course, when the user database D1 does not have the transmission permission / inhibition information 28, all the attribute information 27 of the first user is transmitted to the second mobile phone M2, or only some of the preset attribute information 27 is transmitted. Whether to transmit is a matter that can be appropriately selected in system design.

CPU14 which exhibits the function as judgment part 22, specific part 23, and transmission part 24 is not restricted to CPU of communication server SS. This may be the CPU in the first mobile phone M1. The functions of the determination unit 22 and the specification unit 23 can be performed by the CPU in the second mobile phone M2. In other words, it is not limited which device connected to the network N can exert these functions.

A part of the communication program 18 may be stored as an application program in the storage device of the first portable M1 or the second portable M2. The application program may cause the CPU of the first mobile phone M1 or the CPU of the second mobile phone M2 to exhibit the functions of the determination unit 22, the specifying unit 23, and the like. The functions as the determination unit 22, the specifying unit 23, and the transmission unit 24 may be shared by the first mobile phone M1, the second mobile phone M2, and the communication server SS.

The user database D1 is not limited to the example stored in the storage device 12 in the communication server SS, and may be stored in a storage device separated from the communication server SS.

[Embodiment 2]
FIG. 7 is a schematic block diagram showing the overall configuration of the attribute information transmission system S200 according to the second embodiment. In the attribute information transmission system S200 according to the second embodiment, the communication server SS, the first user's first smartphone (information communication device) SM1, the second user's second smartphone (information communication device), and SM2 are connected to the network N. Connected and configured. In addition, about the structure similar to Embodiment 1, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

The user database D2 is stored in the storage device 12 of the communication server SS. FIG. 8 is a data structure diagram showing an outline of the data structure of the user database D2. The user database D2 is a database substantially similar to the user database D1 shown in FIG. 3 except that the user database D2 does not have the transmission permission / inhibition information 28. That is, the identification information 26 and the attribute information 27 are associated with each user.

When the identification unit 23 identifies that the communication mode of information communication from the first smartphone SM1 to the second smartphone SM2 is telephone communication, and the determination unit 22 determines that the telephone communication is completed, the identification information is stored in the user database D2. The determination unit 25 determines whether or not there are two user telephone numbers.

The identification unit 23 and the determination unit 22 are functions that the CPU 14 in the communication server SS exhibits by the communication program 18. In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the CPU 14 also functions as the determination unit 25 by the communication program 18.

The identification of the communication mode by the specifying unit 23 may be performed, for example, by transmitting the communication mode signal Sg2 from the first smartphone SM1 or the second smartphone SM2 to the communication server SS, or from the communication server SS to the first smartphone SM1 or the first smartphone SM2. 2 An inquiry signal for inquiring a communication mode toward the smartphone SM2 may be transmitted.

The determination that the information communication is performed by the determination unit 22 (determination that the telephone communication is completed) is performed even when the completion signal Sg1 is transmitted from the first smartphone SM1 or the second smartphone SM2 to the communication server SS, for example. Alternatively, an inquiry signal for inquiring completion of the call may be transmitted from the communication server SS toward the first smartphone SM1 or the second smartphone SM2.

In determining whether or not the second user's telephone number exists in the user database D2 by the determination unit 25, the second user's telephone number related to information communication (telephone communication) is transmitted from the first smartphone SM1 or the second smartphone SM2. Information is transmitted toward the communication server SS. Then, the communication server SS determines whether or not the received telephone number information of the second user exists in the user database D2 by the determination unit 25.

When the determination unit 25 determines that “the telephone number of the second user is not in the user database D2,” the transmission unit 24 automatically executes predetermined information transmission toward the second smartphone SM2. The transmission unit 24 is a function exhibited by the CPU 14 of the communication server SS by the communication program 18. The predetermined information IS may be, for example, an invitation mail for soliciting the second user to register in the user database D2 (that is, to subscribe to a transmission service using the attribute information transmission system S200). Here, the invitation mail may be an SMS mail that uses the telephone number of the second user as a destination.

When there is no telephone number of the second user in the user database D2, it is determined that the attribute information 27 of the second user is not registered in the address data AD1 in the first smartphone SM1, and the attribute information 27 of the second user May be automatically transmitted to the first smartphone SM1. When there is no telephone number of the second user in the user database D2, it is determined that the attribute information 27 of the first user is not registered in the address data (not shown) in the second smartphone SM2, and the first user The attribute information 27 may be automatically transmitted to the second smartphone SM2 as the predetermined information IS. The user who has received the attribute information of the other party of the telephone hardly needs to perform troublesome operations. For example, in response to the question “Do you want to register?”, “Yes (Enter button pressed)” or “No (Clear button pressed)” "One-push operation" can be used to register the other party's attribute information in the address data of their smartphone.

The above description is an example in which the CPU 14 in the communication server SS functions as the determination unit 22, the specification unit 23, the transmission unit 24, and the determination unit 25, and the user database D2 is also stored in the storage device 12 in the communication server SS. is there. However, an application program (application) 18a as a communication program is stored in the first smartphone SM1, and the CPU 14a in the first smartphone SM1 functions as the determination unit 22, the specifying unit 23, the transmission unit 24, and the determination unit 25 by the application 18a. May be. The user database D2 may also be stored as so-called address data AD1 in the memory 12a in the first smartphone SM1.

With this configuration, the first smart phone SM1 that is the source information communication device itself exhibits a function as a communication system, so that it is not necessary to separately provide the communication server SS and can be omitted. The identification unit 23 identifies the communication mode for the second smartphone SM2 by the first smartphone SM1 itself, the determination unit 22 determines completion of the call of the first smartphone SM1 itself, and the determination unit 25 includes the first smartphone SM1 itself. It is determined whether or not the second user's telephone number is present in the address data AD1 inside the smartphone SM1, and the transmission unit 24 automatically transmits predetermined information from the first smartphone SM1 to the second smartphone SM2. Execute.

It is not necessary to inquire about the completion of the call or the communication mode to other devices via the network N, or to receive the completion signal Sg1 or the communication mode signal Sg2. Contributes to improved processing speed and reduced communication traffic.

The process in the second embodiment is shown in the flowchart of FIG.

[Embodiment 3]
FIG. 11 is a schematic block diagram showing the overall configuration of the attribute information transmission system S300 according to the third embodiment. As in the second embodiment, the attribute information transmission system S300 according to the third embodiment includes the communication server SS, the first user's first smartphone (information communication device) SM1, and the second user's second smartphone (information communication). Device) and SM2 are connected via a network N. In addition, about the structure similar to Embodiment 1, 2, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

A user database D2 similar to that shown in FIG. 8 is stored in the storage device 12 of the communication server SS. The user database D2 has the identification information 26 and the attribute information 27 associated with each user, but does not have the transmission permission / inhibition information 28.

When the identification unit 23 identifies that the communication mode of information communication from the first smartphone SM1 to the second smartphone SM2 is telephone communication, and the determination unit 22 determines that the telephone communication is completed, the identification information is stored in the user database D2. The determination unit 25 determines whether there is a telephone number of one user. The functions of the specifying unit 23 and the determining unit 22 are the same as those described in the second embodiment. The internal configuration of the communication server SS is the same as that shown in FIG.

In determining whether or not the user database D2 has the telephone number of the first user by the determination unit 25, the telephone number of the first user related to information communication (telephone communication) from the first smartphone SM1 or the second smartphone SM2. Information is transmitted toward the communication server SS. Then, the communication server SS determines whether or not the received telephone number information of the first user exists in the user database D2 by the determination unit 25.

When the determination unit 25 determines that “the telephone number of the first user is not in the user database D2,” the transmission unit 24 automatically executes predetermined information transmission toward the second smartphone SM2. The transmission unit 24 is a function exhibited by the CPU 14 of the communication server SS by the communication program 18. The predetermined information IS is attribute information 27 such as telephone number information of the first user, for example. If there is no telephone number information of the first user in the user database D2, it is determined that there is no attribute information 27 of the first user in the address data AD2 in the second smartphone SM2. Then, the attribute information 27 of the first user is automatically transmitted toward the second smartphone SM2.

The second user who has received the attribute information 27 of the first user does not need to perform any troublesome operations. For example, in response to the question “Do you want to register?” “Yes (Enter button pressed)” or “No (Clear) It is possible to register the attribute information 27 of the first user in the address data AD2 of its own smartphone SM2 only by performing a one-push operation of “button press)”.

When the determination unit 25 determines that “the telephone number of the first user is in the user database D2”, the transmission unit 24 does not transmit predetermined information to the second smartphone SM2. If the telephone number information of the first user already exists in the user database D2, it is determined that the attribute information 27 of the first user is also present in the address data AD2 in the second smartphone SM2, and the attribute information of the first user 27 transmission is not performed, so unnecessary information transmission can be omitted. Contributes to improving processing speed and reducing communication traffic.

The above description is an example in which the CPU 14 in the communication server SS functions as the determination unit 22, the specification unit 23, the transmission unit 24, and the determination unit 25, and the user database D2 is also stored in the storage device 12 in the communication server SS. is there. However, the application program (application) 18a as the communication program 18 is stored in the first smartphone SM1, and the CPU 14a in the first smartphone SM1 is used as the determination unit 22, the specifying unit 23, the transmission unit 24, and the determination unit 25 by the application 18a. May function. The user database D2 may be stored as so-called address data AD2 in the memory 12b in the second smartphone SM2.

With this configuration, the first smart phone SM1 that is the source information communication device itself exhibits a function as a communication system, so that it is not necessary to separately provide the communication server SS and can be omitted. The identification unit 23 identifies the communication mode for the second smartphone SM2 by the first smartphone SM1 itself, and the determination unit 22 determines completion of the call of the first smartphone SM1 itself.

The determination unit 25 determines whether or not the first user's telephone number exists in the address data AD2 inside the second smartphone SM2 via the network N, and the transmission unit 24 transmits the first smartphone SM1 to the second smartphone SM2. , The predetermined information transmission is automatically executed.

The determination function by the determination unit 25 is based on the function of the application 18a in the first smartphone SM1, and inquires from the first smartphone SM1 to the second smartphone SM2 about the presence or absence of the telephone number of the first user in the address data AD2. A signal may be transmitted. Further, based on the function of the application 18b in the second smartphone SM2, after the call ends, the fact that there is no first user telephone number in the address data AD2 is automatically transmitted to the first smartphone SM1 via the network N. It may be done.

The process in the third embodiment is shown in the flowchart of FIG.
