When the business card holder 100 is open, the accommodating portion 103 is supported at a predetermined angle of less than 180 degrees with respect to the housing 101.
　収容部１０３は、筐体１０１の蓋として機能するとともに、複数の名刺を重ねて収容することができる。収容部１０３には名刺入れ１００の内側と外側とを連通させる貫通孔１０４が設けられている。 The accommodating portion 103 functions as a lid of the housing 101 and can accommodate a plurality of business cards in a stacked manner. The accommodating portion 103 is provided with a through hole 104 for communicating the inside and the outside of the business card holder 100.
　収容部１０３の内壁には、第１突出部１０５と、第２突出部１０６とが設けられている。第１突出部１０５は、収容部１０３の側壁（すなわち、名刺Ｃの端部に沿って延在する壁）に対して垂直に突出するように設けられた部材である。第１突出部１０５は、撮像部１３０に対して名刺Ｃに記載された文字を隠さないように、名刺Ｃの表面の一部を覆う。第２突出部１０６は、収容部１０３の天板（すなわち、名刺Ｃの表面に沿って延在する壁）に対して垂直に突出するように設けられた部材である。第２突出部１０６は、名刺Ｃの端部の一部を覆う。 A first protruding portion 105 and a second protruding portion 106 are provided on the inner wall of the accommodating portion 103. The first projecting portion 105 is a member provided so as to project perpendicularly to the side wall of the accommodating portion 103 (that is, the wall extending along the end portion of the business card C). The first protruding portion 105 covers a part of the surface of the business card C so as not to hide the characters written on the business card C from the imaging unit 130. The second projecting portion 106 is a member provided so as to project perpendicularly to the top plate of the accommodating portion 103 (that is, the wall extending along the surface of the business card C). The second protruding portion 106 covers a part of the end portion of the business card C.
　筐体１０１は、制御部１１０と、撮像部１３０と、表示部１４０とを支持する。また、筐体１０１上には、１つ又は複数の操作部１５０が設けられている。制御部１１０は、撮像部１３０、表示部１４０及び操作部１５０に電気的に接続されており、それらの作動を制御する。 The housing 101 supports the control unit 110, the imaging unit 130, and the display unit 140.

The control unit 110 is electrically connected to the image pickup unit 130, the display unit 140, and the operation unit 150, and controls their operation.
　図５は、本実施形態に係る名刺入れ１００に名刺Ｃを入れた状態でのＡ－Ａ線断面図である。名刺入れ１００が開いた状態において、収容部１０３は、名刺入れ１００が閉じた状態であって収容部１０３が筐体１０１に対して平行な状態を０度としたとき、筐体１０１に対して０度より大きく１８０度未満の所定の角度に支持されている。 FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along line AA in a state where the business card C is inserted in the business card holder 100 according to the present embodiment. When the business card holder 100 is open, the accommodating portion 103 is in a state where the business card holder 100 is closed and the accommodating portion 103 is parallel to the housing 101 at 0 degrees. It is supported at a predetermined angle greater than 0 degrees and less than 180 degrees.
　収容部１０３に収容されている名刺が筐体１０１に対して急な角度に支持されていると、撮像部１３０によって取得される撮像画像の歪みが大きくなり、撮像画像から文字情報を正しく取得できない場合がある。そこで名刺の画像から文字情報を取得する精度を向上させるために、収容部１０３は、好ましくは筐体１０１に対して９０度以上、１５０度以下の所定の角度に支持される。 If the business card housed in the housing unit 103 is supported at a steep angle with respect to the housing 101, the distortion of the captured image acquired by the imaging unit 130 becomes large, and the character information cannot be correctly acquired from the captured image. In some cases. Therefore, in order to improve the accuracy of acquiring character information from the image of the business card, the accommodating portion 103 is preferably supported at a predetermined angle of 90 degrees or more and 150 degrees or less with respect to the housing 101.
　受領者は、操作部１５０に対して所定の操作をすることによって、撮像部１３０に撮像を行わせる。撮像部１３０は、収容部１０３に収容されている名刺Ｃのうち最も内側（すなわち撮像部１３０に近い側）の名刺Ｃ１を撮像し、撮像した内容を撮像画像として制御部１１０に渡す。そして表示部１４０は、撮像部１３０が読み取った名刺Ｃ１に係る情報を表示する。 The recipient causes the imaging unit 130 to take an image by performing a predetermined operation on the operation unit 150. The image pickup unit 130 takes an image of the innermost (that is, the side closer to the image pickup unit 130) business card C1 among the business card C housed in the storage unit 103, and passes the captured contents to the control unit 110 as an image. Then, the display unit 140 displays the information related to the business card C1 read by the imaging unit 130.
　このような構成により、名刺入れ１００は収容部１０３に収容された状態の名刺を読み取ることができるため、受領者が提供者から名刺を受け取って名刺入れ１００に仕舞う動作の一環で名刺に係る情報を取得することができる。そのため、読み取りのためにわざわざ名刺を出し入れする必要がない。 With such a configuration, since the business card holder 100 can read the business card in the state of being stored in the storage unit 103, the information related to the business card is part of the operation in which the recipient receives the business card from the provider and puts it in the business card holder 100. Can be obtained. Therefore, there is no need to bother to put in and take out the business card for reading.
　収容部１０３に収容されている名刺Ｃのうち最も外側（すなわち収容部１０３に近い側）の名刺Ｃ２は、収容部１０３上の貫通孔１０４に面している。受領者は、収容部１０３に収容されている名刺Ｃ２に貫通孔１０４を介して触れてスライドさせることによって、名刺Ｃ２を収容部１０３から取り出すことができる。 The outermost (that is, the side closer to the accommodating portion 103) business card C2 accommodated in the accommodating portion 103 faces the through hole 104 on the accommodating portion 103. The recipient can take out the business card C2 from the storage unit 103 by touching and sliding the business card C2 housed in the storage unit 103 through the through hole 104.
　受領者は、自身の名刺を収容部１０３に収容しておく。名刺交換の際に、受領者は、最も外側の名刺Ｃ２を自身の名刺として取り出して提供者に渡すとともに、提供者から受け取った名刺を収容部１０３の最も内側に入れる。これにより、最も内側の名刺Ｃ１は提供者の名刺となり、撮像部１３０による読み取りが可能になる。 The recipient stores his or her business card in the storage unit 103. When exchanging business cards, the recipient takes out the outermost business card C2 as his own business card and hands it to the provider, and puts the business card received from the provider inside the storage unit 103. As a result, the innermost business card C1 becomes the provider's business card and can be read by the imaging unit 130.
　このとき、収容部１０３から１枚の受領者の名刺が取り出されると同時に、収容部１０３に１枚の提供者の名刺が追加される。すなわち、収容部１０３は、受領者の名刺と提供者の名刺とで共用されるように構成されている。これにより、撮像部１３０と最も内側の名刺Ｃ１（すなわち提供者の名刺）との間の距離が一定に保たれるため、撮像画像が撮像される条件の変化を抑え、撮像画像から文字情報を取得する精度を向上させることができる。 At this time, one recipient's business card is taken out from the storage unit 103, and at the same time, one provider's business card is added to the storage unit 103. That is, the storage unit 103 is configured to be shared by the business card of the recipient and the business card of the provider. As a result, the distance between the image pickup unit 130 and the innermost business card C1 (that is, the provider's business card) is kept constant, so that changes in the conditions under which the captured image is captured are suppressed, and character information can be obtained from the captured image. The acquisition accuracy can be improved.
　第１突出部１０５は、名刺Ｃの表面の一部を覆うように突出しているため、受領者が貫通孔１０４を介して名刺Ｃに触れた際に名刺Ｃが収容部１０３の天板に対して垂直方向に押し出されないように支持し、受領者が名刺Ｃを安定して出し入れできるようにすることができる。第２突出部１０６は、名刺Ｃの端部の一部を覆うように突出しているため、名刺入れ１００を開閉する際に、名刺Ｃが収容部１０３から飛び出すことを抑制できる。 Since the first protruding portion 105 projects so as to cover a part of the surface of the business card C, when the recipient touches the business card C through the through hole 104, the business card C refers to the top plate of the accommodating portion 103. It can be supported so that it is not pushed out in the vertical direction, and the recipient can stably insert and remove the business card C. Since the second protruding portion 106 protrudes so as to cover a part of the end portion of the business card C, it is possible to prevent the business card C from popping out from the accommodating portion 103 when opening and closing the business card holder 100.
　第１突出部１０５は、ガラス、アクリル等で構成された、名刺Ｃの全体を覆う透明な板であってもよい。この場合に、第１突出部１０５としての透明な板は、収容部１０３の天板に対して略平行に設けられる。名刺Ｃは、収容部１０３の天板と第１突出部１０５との間の空間に収容される。撮像部１３０は、第１突出部１０５を介して、収容部１０３に収容された名刺を撮像する。このような構成においても、第１突出部１０５は、受領者が貫通孔１０４を介して名刺Ｃに触れた際に名刺Ｃが収容部１０３の天板に対して垂直方向に押し出されないように支持し、受領者が名刺Ｃを安定して出し入れできるようにすることができる。 The first protruding portion 105 may be a transparent plate made of glass, acrylic or the like and covering the entire business card C. In this case, the transparent plate as the first protruding portion 105 is provided substantially parallel to the top plate of the accommodating portion 103. The business card C is accommodated in the space between the top plate of the accommodating portion 103 and the first protruding portion 105. The image pickup unit 130 takes an image of the business card housed in the storage unit 103 via the first protrusion 105. Even in such a configuration, the first projecting portion 105 prevents the business card C from being pushed out in the direction perpendicular to the top plate of the accommodating portion 103 when the recipient touches the business card C through the through hole 104. It can be supported and the recipient can stably put in and take out the business card C.

In addition, when the SNS identification information (account name, etc.) is described on the business card, the provider information acquisition unit 213 searches the SNS using the identification information to obtain the attributes of the provider on the SNS. To get.
　出力部２１７は、提供者情報取得部２１３が取得した提供者情報を、名刺入れ１００に送信する。出力部２１７は、提供者情報の全部を送信してもよく、提供者情報のうち名刺に記載された文字に対応する情報のみを送信してもよい。名刺入れ１００において、受信部１１３は、名刺交換支援装置２００が送信した提供者情報を受信する。表示制御部１１４は、受信部１１３が受信した提供者情報を、表示部１４０に表示させる。 The output unit 217 transmits the provider information acquired by the provider information acquisition unit 213 to the business card holder 100. The output unit 217 may transmit the entire provider information, or may transmit only the information corresponding to the characters written on the business card among the provider information. In the business card holder 100, the receiving unit 113 receives the provider information transmitted by the business card exchange support device 200. The display control unit 114 causes the display unit 140 to display the provider information received by the reception unit 113.
　図６（ａ）は、提供者情報を表示している状態の名刺入れ１００の表示部１４０の前面図である。表示部１４０は、受信部１１３が受信した提供者情報１４１を表示している。これにより、受領者は、名刺から読み取られた提供者に関する情報を、名刺入れ１００上で確認することができる。 FIG. 6A is a front view of the display unit 140 of the business card holder 100 in a state where the provider information is displayed. The display unit 140 displays the provider information 141 received by the reception unit 113. As a result, the recipient can confirm the information about the provider read from the business card on the business card holder 100.
　受領者情報取得部２１４は、名刺入れ１００を有する受領者に関する受領者情報を取得する。受領者情報は、受領者と提供者との間の共通点を特定するための情報であり、例えば学校や職業の経歴、趣味、出身地、居住地等の受領者の属性を含む。 Recipient information acquisition unit 214 acquires recipient information regarding a recipient having a business card holder 100. Recipient information is information for identifying commonalities between the recipient and the provider, and includes attributes of the recipient such as school or occupational background, hobbies, place of origin, place of residence, and the like.
　受領者情報取得部２１４は、取得した受領者情報と、提供者情報取得部２１３が取得した提供者情報との間で少なくとも一部が一致する部分を、共通点として特定する。共通点は、例えば受領者及び提供者の間で一部又は全部が一致する、学校名、会社名、趣味、出身地、居住地等である。 Recipient information acquisition unit 214 identifies at least a part of the acquired recipient information and the provider information acquired by the provider information acquisition unit 213 as common points. What they have in common is, for example, the school name, company name, hobbies, place of origin, place of residence, etc., which are partly or wholly the same between the recipient and the provider.
　出力部２１７は、受領者情報取得部２１４が特定した共通点を示す共通点情報を、名刺入れ１００に送信する。名刺入れ１００において、受信部１１３は、名刺交換支援装置２００が送信した共通点情報を受信する。表示制御部１１４は、受信部１１３が受信した共通点情報を、表示部１４０に表示させる。 The output unit 217 transmits the common point information indicating the common points specified by the recipient information acquisition unit 214 to the business card holder 100. In the business card holder 100, the receiving unit 113 receives the common point information transmitted by the business card exchange support device 200. The display control unit 114 causes the display unit 140 to display the common point information received by the reception unit 113.
　図６（ｂ）は、共通点情報を表示している状態の名刺入れ１００の表示部１４０の前面図である。表示部１４０は、受信部１１３が受信した共通点情報１４２を表示している。これにより、名刺交換支援システムＳは、受領者に、名刺入れ１００上で提供者との間の共通点を知らせることができ、受領者と提供者との間のコミュニケーションを支援することができる。 FIG. 6B is a front view of the display unit 140 of the business card holder 100 in a state where the common point information is displayed. The display unit 140 displays the common point information 142 received by the reception unit 113. As a result, the business card exchange support system S can inform the recipient of the commonalities with the provider on the business card holder 100, and can support communication between the recipient and the provider.
　出力部２１７は、所定の条件が満たされた場合のみ、共通点情報を名刺入れ１００に送信してもよい。例えば出力部２１７は、受領者が有する名刺入れ１００が、提供者が有する名刺入れ１００の近傍に位置する場合に、共通点情報を名刺入れ１００に送信する。この場合に、複数の名刺入れ１００それぞれは、ＧＰＳ（Global Positioning System）等によって特定した位置を示す位置情報を、名刺入れ１００の所有者（すなわち受領者又は提供者）を特定可能な情報（氏名、電話番号、メールアドレス等）とともに名刺交換支援装置２００へ送信する。出力部２１７は、受領者が有する名刺入れ１００から取得した位置情報が示す位置と、提供者が有する名刺入れ１００から取得した位置情報が示す位置との間の距離が所定値以下であることを条件として、共通点情報を受領者が有する名刺入れ１００に送信する。 The output unit 217 may transmit common point information to the business card holder 100 only when a predetermined condition is satisfied. For example, the output unit 217 transmits common point information to the business card holder 100 when the business card holder 100 owned by the recipient is located in the vicinity of the business card holder 100 owned by the provider. In this case, each of the plurality of business card holders 100 can identify the position information indicating the position specified by GPS (Global Positioning System) or the like, and the information (name) that can identify the owner (that is, the recipient or the provider) of the business card holder 100. , Phone number, e-mail address, etc.) and send to the business card exchange support device 200. The output unit 217 indicates that the distance between the position indicated by the position information acquired from the business card holder 100 possessed by the recipient and the position indicated by the position information acquired from the business card holder 100 possessed by the provider is equal to or less than a predetermined value. As a condition, the common information is transmitted to the business card holder 100 held by the recipient.
　例えば出力部２１７は、受領者が有する名刺入れ１００において、提供者が予め設定したキーワードが入力された場合に、共通点情報を名刺入れ１００に送信する。この場合に、名刺交換支援装置２００の記憶部１２０は、提供者が予め設定したキーワードを記憶している。受領者の名刺入れ１００は、受領者からキーワードの入力を受け付け、受け付けたキーワードを、受領者を特定可能な情報とともに名刺交換支援装置２００へ送信する。出力部２１７は、受領者の名刺入れ１００から取得したキーワードが、記憶部１２０に記憶されたキーワードと一致していることを条件として、共通点情報を受領者が有する名刺入れ１００に送信する。 For example, the output unit 217 transmits common point information to the business card holder 100 when a keyword preset by the provider is input in the business card holder 100 owned by the recipient. In this case, the storage unit 120 of the business card exchange support device 200 stores a keyword preset by the provider. The recipient's business card holder 100 receives input of a keyword from the recipient, and transmits the accepted keyword to the business card exchange support device 200 together with information that can identify the recipient. The output unit 217 transmits common information to the business card holder 100 held by the recipient, provided that the keywords acquired from the recipient's business card holder 100 match the keywords stored in the storage unit 120.
　また、例えば出力部２１７は、受領者が有する名刺入れ１００が、受領者が有するスマートフォン等の携帯通信端末に近距離無線通信で接続（ペアリングともいう）されている場合に、共通点情報を名刺入れ１００に送信する。この場合に、名刺入れ１００は、予め登録された携帯通信端末に近距離無線通信で接続されているか否かを示す情報を、受領者を特定可能な情報とともに名刺交換支援装置２００へ送信する。出力部２１７は、名刺入れ１００から取得した情報が、名刺入れ１００が携帯通信端末に近距離無線通信で接続されていることを示していることを条件として、共通点情報を受領者が有する名刺入れ１００に送信する。 Further, for example, the output unit 217 provides common information when the business card holder 100 owned by the recipient is connected to a mobile communication terminal such as a smartphone owned by the recipient by short-range wireless communication (also referred to as pairing). Send to the business card holder 100. In this case, the business card holder 100 transmits information indicating whether or not the mobile communication terminal registered in advance is connected by short-range wireless communication to the business card exchange support device 200 together with information that can identify the recipient. The output unit 217 is a business card in which the recipient has common information on the condition that the information acquired from the business card holder 100 indicates that the business card holder 100 is connected to the mobile communication terminal by short-range wireless communication. Send to the container 100.
　このような構成により、名刺交換支援システムＳは、第三者が受領者又は提供者の名刺又は名刺入れ１００を取得したとしても、上述の条件が満たされない限り共通点情報を開示しないため、受領者又は提供者の情報が第三者によって意図せず閲覧されることを抑制できる。 With such a configuration, even if a third party acquires the business card or business card holder 100 of the recipient or the provider, the business card exchange support system S does not disclose common information unless the above conditions are satisfied. It is possible to prevent the information of the person or the provider from being unintentionally viewed by a third party.
　提供者情報取得部２１３が提供者情報を取得した後に、行動情報取得部２１５は、受領者による提供者に関連付けられた行動を示す行動情報を取得する。図７は、本実施形態における行動情報を説明するための模式図である。行動情報は、操作情報及び登録情報の少なくとも一方を含む。 After the provider information acquisition unit 213 acquires the provider information, the behavior information acquisition unit 215 acquires the behavior information indicating the behavior associated with the provider by the recipient. FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram for explaining the behavioral information in the present embodiment. The action information includes at least one of the operation information and the registration information.
　行動情報が含む操作情報は、受領者による、名刺入れ１００上に設けられた操作部１５０に対する操作を示す情報である。操作情報は、名刺入れ１００上に設けられた複数の操作部１５０のうち、受領者によって操作された操作部１５０を示してもよい。また、操作情報は、名刺入れ１００上に設けられた操作部１５０に対して行われた操作の種類（１回押下、２回押下、短押し、長押し等）を示してもよい。 The operation information included in the action information is information indicating the operation of the operation unit 150 provided on the business card holder 100 by the recipient. The operation information may indicate the operation unit 150 operated by the recipient among the plurality of operation units 150 provided on the business card holder 100. Further, the operation information may indicate the type of operation (one press, two presses, short press, long press, etc.) performed on the operation unit 150 provided on the business card holder 100.
　行動情報取得部２１５は、提供者情報取得部２１３が第１の提供者に関する提供者情報を取得した後であって、第２の提供者に関する提供者情報を取得する前に行われた操作を示す操作情報を、第１の提供者に関連付けて取得する。これにより、受領者は、提供者から受け取った名刺を名刺入れ１００に読み取らせた後に、いちいち提供者を指定することなく、提供者に関連付けた操作を行うことができる。 The behavior information acquisition unit 215 performs an operation performed after the provider information acquisition unit 213 has acquired the provider information regarding the first provider and before the provider information regarding the second provider has been acquired. The operation information to be shown is acquired in association with the first provider. As a result, the recipient can perform an operation associated with the provider without designating the provider one by one after having the business card holder 100 read the business card received from the provider.
　行動情報が含む登録情報は、ネットワークを介してコミュニケーションを行うためのコミュニケーションサービスにおいて、受領者が提供者を登録しているか否かを示す情報である。コミュニケーションサービスは、例えばＳＮＳや、登録制のメッセージ送受信サービス等である。名刺交換支援装置２００は、コミュニケーションサービスを提供するサーバ３００から、登録情報を取得する。 The registration information included in the behavior information is information indicating whether or not the recipient has registered the provider in the communication service for communicating via the network. The communication service is, for example, an SNS, a registration-based message transmission / reception service, or the like. The business card exchange support device 200 acquires registration information from a server 300 that provides a communication service.
　関係性特定部２１６は、提供者情報取得部２１３が取得した提供者情報と、行動情報取得部２１５が取得した行動情報に基づいて、受領者と提供者との間の関係性を特定する。関係性は、受領者と提供者との間の関係の種類によって表される。関係の種類は、例えばビジネス、友人、知り合い等である。さらに関係性は、関係の種類に加えて、当該関係の重要度によって表されてもよい。関係の重要度は、例えば高い重要度、普通の重要度、低い重要度等である。 The relationship identification unit 216 identifies the relationship between the recipient and the provider based on the provider information acquired by the provider information acquisition unit 213 and the behavior information acquired by the behavior information acquisition unit 215. Relationships are represented by the type of relationship between the recipient and the provider. The types of relationships are, for example, business, friends, acquaintances, and so on. Furthermore, the relationship may be represented by the importance of the relationship in addition to the type of relationship. The importance of the relationship is, for example, high importance, normal importance, low importance, and the like.
　関係性特定部２１６は、操作情報が示す操作（すなわち操作された操作部１５０又は行われた操作の種類）に対応する、関係の種類を特定する。複数の操作部１５０、又は操作部１５０に対する複数の操作の種類は、それぞれ異なる関係の種類に予め対応付けられている。また、関係性特定部２１６は、操作情報が示す操作に対応する、関係の重要度を特定してもよい。複数の操作部１５０、又は操作部１５０に対する複数の操作の種類は、それぞれ異なる関係の重要度に予め対応付けられている。これにより、名刺交換支援装置２００は、名刺交換後に受領者が名刺入れ１００に対して行った操作に基づいて、受領者と提供者との間の関係性を記録することができる。 The relationship specifying unit 216 specifies the type of relationship corresponding to the operation indicated by the operation information (that is, the operated operation unit 150 or the type of operation performed). The plurality of operation units 150, or the plurality of types of operations for the operation unit 150, are associated with different types of relationships in advance. Further, the relationship specifying unit 216 may specify the importance of the relationship corresponding to the operation indicated by the operation information. The plurality of operation units 150, or the plurality of types of operations for the operation unit 150, are associated with the importance of different relationships in advance. Thereby, the business card exchange support device 200 can record the relationship between the recipient and the provider based on the operation performed by the recipient on the business card holder 100 after the business card exchange.
　関係性特定部２１６は、登録情報が、コミュニケーションサービスにおいて受領者が提供者を登録していることを示す場合に、受領者と提供者との間に所定の関係性（例えば友人であることや、高い重要度であること）が有ることを関係性として特定する。これにより、名刺交換支援装置２００は、名刺交換後のコミュニケーションサービスにおける登録の有無に基づいて、受領者と提供者との間の関係性を記録することができる。 When the registration information indicates that the recipient has registered the provider in the communication service, the relationship identification unit 216 indicates that the recipient and the provider have a predetermined relationship (for example, being a friend). , High importance) is specified as a relationship. Thereby, the business card exchange support device 200 can record the relationship between the recipient and the provider based on the presence or absence of registration in the communication service after the business card exchange.
　このように、関係性特定部２１６は、名刺入れ１００の操作情報とコミュニケーションサービスにおける登録情報との少なくとも一方に基づいて、受領者と提供者とが名刺交換をした後に、ビジネス又はプライベートで仲良くなったか否か、コネクションができたか否か等の関係を自動的に特定することができる。 In this way, the relationship identification unit 216 becomes friends in business or private after the recipient and the provider exchange business cards based on at least one of the operation information of the business card holder 100 and the registration information in the communication service. It is possible to automatically specify the relationship such as whether or not a connection has been established.
　出力部２１７は、関係性特定部２１６が特定した関係性を示す関係情報を出力する。出力部２１７は、関係情報を、記憶部２２０に記憶させるとともに、分析者に関連付けられた情報端末、サーバ等へ送信する。これにより、分析者は、名刺交換支援装置２００が特定した受領者と提供者との間の関係性を分析できるようになる。また、出力部２１７は、関係情報を、名刺入れ１００へ送信する。これにより、受領者は、名刺交換支援装置２００が特定した受領者と提供者との間の関係性を認識できる。 The output unit 217 outputs the relationship information indicating the relationship specified by the relationship specifying unit 216. The output unit 217 stores the related information in the storage unit 220 and transmits it to an information terminal, a server, or the like associated with the analyst. This allows the analyst to analyze the relationship between the recipient and the provider identified by the business card exchange support device 200. Further, the output unit 217 transmits the related information to the business card holder 100. Thereby, the recipient can recognize the relationship between the recipient and the provider specified by the business card exchange support device 200.
　名刺入れ１００において、受信部１１３は、名刺交換支援装置２００が送信した関係情報を受信する。表示制御部１１４は、受信部１１３が受信した関係情報を、表示部１４０に表示させる。 In the business card holder 100, the receiving unit 113 receives the related information transmitted by the business card exchange support device 200. The display control unit 114 causes the display unit 140 to display the relationship information received by the reception unit 113.
　図８（ａ）は、関係情報を表示している状態の名刺入れ１００の表示部１４０の前面図である。表示部１４０は、受信部１１３が受信した関係情報が示す関係性１４３を表示している。図８（ａ）の例では、表示部１４０は、関係性１４３として、受領者と提供者との間の関係の種類を表示しているが、当該関係の重要度を表示してもよい。これにより、名刺交換支援システムＳは、受領者に、提供者との関係性を知らせることができ、受領者と提供者との間のコミュニケーションを支援することができる。 FIG. 8A is a front view of the display unit 140 of the business card holder 100 in a state where the related information is displayed. The display unit 140 displays the relationship 143 indicated by the relationship information received by the reception unit 113. In the example of FIG. 8A, the display unit 140 displays the type of relationship between the recipient and the provider as the relationship 143, but the importance of the relationship may be displayed. As a result, the business card exchange support system S can inform the recipient of the relationship with the provider and can support communication between the recipient and the provider.
　図６（ｂ）に示した画面において、名刺入れ１００は受領者と提供者との間の共通点を表示しているが、共通点の中には関係性に良い影響を与えやすいものと、そうでないものが存在する。例えば出身大学の話題は一般的に盛り上がりやすいのに対して、映画の話題は人によって好みが異なるため盛り上がらない可能性がある。そこで、名刺交換支援システムＳは、過去に記録された関係性に基づいて、関係性に良い影響を与える共通点を推測して出力してもよい。 In the screen shown in FIG. 6B, the business card holder 100 displays the commonalities between the recipient and the provider, but some of the commonalities are likely to have a positive effect on the relationship. There are things that are not. For example, the topic of the university from which you are from is generally easy to get excited, while the topic of movies may not get excited because people have different tastes. Therefore, the business card exchange support system S may infer and output common points that have a positive effect on the relationships based on the relationships recorded in the past.
　この場合に、記憶部２２０は、過去に受領者情報取得部２１４が特定した受領者と提供者との間の共通点を示す共通点情報と、過去に関係性特定部２１６が当該受領者と当該提供者について特定した関係性を示す関係情報とを関連付けて記憶する。出力部２１７は、受領者情報取得部２１４が今回特定した受領者情報及び提供者情報との間の一以上の共通点のうち、記憶部２２０に過去に記憶された関係情報が示す関係性に基づいて、関係性に所定の影響を与えると推測された共通点を抽出する。 In this case, the storage unit 220 has common information indicating commonalities between the recipient and the provider specified by the recipient information acquisition unit 214 in the past, and the relationship identification unit 216 in the past with the recipient. It is stored in association with the relationship information indicating the relationship specified for the provider. The output unit 217 has a relationship indicated by the relationship information stored in the storage unit 220 in the past among one or more common points between the recipient information and the provider information identified by the recipient information acquisition unit 214 this time. Based on this, the commonalities that are presumed to have a predetermined effect on the relationship are extracted.
　例えば出力部２１７は、記憶部２２０において、受領者情報取得部２１４が特定した共通点に関連付けられている、関係の種類が友人であることを示す関係情報の数又は割合が所定値以上である場合に、該共通点が関係性に良い影響を与えると推測する。また、出力部２１７は、記憶部２２０において、受領者情報取得部２１４が特定した共通点に関連付けられている、関係の重要度が高いことを示す関係情報の数又は割合が所定値以上である場合に、該共通点が関係性に良い影響を与えると推測してもよい。出力部２１７は、関係性に対する影響を推測するために、ここに示した具体的な基準に限られず、その他の基準を用いてもよい。 For example, in the output unit 217, in the storage unit 220, the number or ratio of the relationship information indicating that the type of relationship is a friend, which is associated with the common point specified by the recipient information acquisition unit 214, is equal to or more than a predetermined value. In some cases, it is speculated that the commonality has a positive effect on the relationship. Further, in the output unit 217, in the storage unit 220, the number or ratio of the relationship information indicating that the relationship is important, which is associated with the common point specified by the recipient information acquisition unit 214, is equal to or more than a predetermined value. In some cases, it may be inferred that the commonalities have a positive effect on the relationship. The output unit 217 is not limited to the specific criteria shown here, and other criteria may be used in order to estimate the influence on the relationship.
　出力部２１７は、関係性に所定の影響を与えると推測された共通点を示す共通点情報を、名刺入れ１００に送信する。名刺入れ１００において、受信部１１３は、名刺交換支援装置２００が送信した共通点情報を受信する。表示制御部１１４は、受信部１１３が受信した共通点情報を、表示部１４０に表示させる。 The output unit 217 transmits common point information indicating common points presumed to have a predetermined influence on the relationship to the business card holder 100. In the business card holder 100, the receiving unit 113 receives the common point information transmitted by the business card exchange support device 200. The display control unit 114 causes the display unit 140 to display the common point information received by the reception unit 113.
　図８（ｂ）は、共通点情報を表示している状態の名刺入れ１００の表示部１４０の前面図である。表示部１４０は、受信部１１３が受信した共通点情報１４４を表示している。図８（ｂ）の画面は、図６（ｂ）の画面に代えて表示されてもよく、図６（ｂ）の画面が表示される前又は後に表示されてもよい。 FIG. 8B is a front view of the display unit 140 of the business card holder 100 in a state where the common point information is displayed. The display unit 140 displays the common point information 144 received by the reception unit 113. The screen of FIG. 8 (b) may be displayed in place of the screen of FIG. 6 (b), or may be displayed before or after the screen of FIG. 6 (b) is displayed.
　図８（ｂ）において、共通点情報１４４は、過去に記録された関係性に基づいて、関係性に良い影響を与えると推測された共通点を表している。これにより、名刺交換支援システムＳは、提供者との関係性に良い影響を与えると推測された共通点を受領者に知らせることができ、受領者と提供者との間のコミュニケーションを円滑化することができる。 In FIG. 8B, the commonality information 144 represents commonalities presumed to have a positive effect on the relationships based on the relationships recorded in the past. As a result, the business card exchange support system S can inform the recipient of commonalities that are presumed to have a positive effect on the relationship with the provider, and facilitates communication between the recipient and the provider. be able to.
　さらに名刺交換支援システムＳは、２つの名刺入れ１００同士で近距離無線通信（すれ違い通信ともいう）を行い、当該２つの名刺入れ１００の２人のユーザに所定の共通点がある場合に、当該２つの名刺入れ１００に通知してもよい。便宜上、それぞれ名刺入れ１００を有する２人のユーザのうち一方を受領者と呼び、他方を提供者と呼ぶ。この場合に、名刺交換支援装置２００の記憶部２２０は、受領者を特定可能な情報と関連付けて受領者情報を予め記憶するとともに、提供者を特定可能な情報と関連付けて提供者情報を予め記憶する。 Further, the business card exchange support system S performs short-range wireless communication (also referred to as passing communication) between two business card holders 100, and when the two users of the two business card holders 100 have a predetermined commonality, the said You may notify the two business card holders 100. For convenience, one of the two users, each with a business card holder 100, is referred to as the recipient and the other as the provider. In this case, the storage unit 220 of the business card exchange support device 200 stores the recipient information in advance in association with the identifiable information of the recipient, and stores the provider information in advance in association with the identifiable information of the provider. To do.
　受領者の名刺入れ１００は、提供者の名刺入れ１００と近距離無線通信で通信可能であるか否かを示す情報を、受領者及び提供者を特定可能な情報とともに名刺交換支援装置２００へ送信する。受領者の名刺入れ１００から取得した情報が、受領者の名刺入れ１００が提供者の名刺入れ１００と近距離無線通信で通信可能であることを示している場合に、受領者情報取得部２１４は、記憶部２２０に予め記憶された受領者情報及び提供者情報に基づいて、上述の方法により受領者と提供者との間の一以上の共通点を特定する。 The recipient's business card holder 100 transmits information indicating whether or not the recipient's business card holder 100 can communicate with the provider's business card holder 100 by short-range wireless communication to the business card exchange support device 200 together with information that can identify the recipient and the provider. To do. When the information acquired from the recipient's business card holder 100 indicates that the recipient's business card holder 100 can communicate with the provider's business card holder 100 by short-range wireless communication, the recipient information acquisition unit 214 Based on the recipient information and the provider information stored in advance in the storage unit 220, one or more common points between the recipient and the provider are identified by the above-mentioned method.
　出力部２１７は、受領者情報取得部２１４が今回特定した受領者情報及び提供者情報との間の一以上の共通点のうち、記憶部２２０に過去に記憶された関係情報が示す関係性に基づいて、上述の方法により関係性に所定の影響を与えると推測された共通点を抽出する。 The output unit 217 has a relationship indicated by the relationship information stored in the storage unit 220 in the past among one or more common points between the recipient information and the provider information identified by the recipient information acquisition unit 214 this time.
