Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a personal information management device, a personal information management system, and the like for registering, managing, and providing personal information.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Hitherto, personal information has been obtained from various media such as business cards, letters, newspapers and the like and used. For example, when a business card or letter is received from another person, it is stored in a folder, and when used, the business card or letter is taken out of the folder and the address or the like is transcribed.
In addition, information about congratulations and condolences was obtained from newspapers, etc., and telegrams were sent, and information on personnel changes was obtained to grasp personnel affairs.

[0003]

However, the acquisition of personal information is performed in each household and each company, which is inefficient. In addition, since personal information is recorded and stored in various media in a distributed manner, it is difficult not only to know which media has the information but also to update the information when using the personal information. .

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to integrate, manage, and provide information distributed to various places and media.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems and Effects of the Invention The personal information management apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention, which has been made to achieve the above object, comprises: an input means for inputting various instructions and information; Information (hereinafter referred to as personal information)
Storing personal information in the storage means, or updating or deleting personal information in the storage means, based on an instruction input through the input means, or the instruction and the information, via the input means. A maintenance unit, an information input unit that extracts personal information stored in the storage unit and organizes output information based on the instruction or the instruction and the information input through the input unit, and the information organization unit. Output means for outputting the organized output information.

[0006] The various instructions input through the input means are for giving an operation instruction to each means. For example, the registration, update, deletion, organization, and output of information may be instructed. Various types of information are information that can be captured by a computer, such as text information,
The information may be image information, audio information, or the like.

The input means is a means for inputting instructions and information, and is constituted by an input device such as a communication network, a keyboard, a scanner, and a mouse. The storage means is a medium on which information can be recorded, and stores personal information. As a recording medium, for example, a hard disk or an optical disk is realistic. Personal information refers to various information about an individual. For example, address, name, age, occupation, date of birth, telephone number, work place, and e-mail address, and a personal photograph or voice may be used as personal information.

[0008] The access to the storage means is roughly divided into read and write. Reading is performed by the information organizing means based on an instruction input via the input means. For example, when an instruction to extract name information is input, the name information is extracted from the storage unit. On the other hand, writing is performed by the maintenance unit based on an instruction input via the input unit. For example, when the instruction is a deletion instruction, the personal information stored in the storage unit is deleted. When the instruction is a registration instruction, the input personal information is registered in the storage unit. Update the information you have.

The information extracted by the information organizing means is organized as output information, and is output via the output means. The output unit is a unit that outputs information. For example, it is practical to use a display device such as a display, a printing device such as a printer, or a network device.

As described above, according to the present invention, personal information recorded on various media is input from the input means, the personal information is stored in the storage means, and the personal information is output to the various media via the output means as necessary. To output personal information. Also, the personal information is updated by the maintenance means. As a result, the user does not need to manage personal information for each medium, and can centrally manage personal information. For example, you can scan personal information on a business card with a scanner, enter personal information on a letter from a keyboard,
By inputting the personal information of the newspaper database from the network, when the personal information is required, the personal information can be output through a display, a printer, or a network only by accessing the personal information management device. Therefore, when using the personal information, it is not necessary to search for the medium in which the information exists, and the search time is shortened. Also, once the contents of the storage means are copied, the personal information once input can be reused by another device, so that the cost of inputting personal information at each home or company can be reduced.

[0011] Further, when using personal information, it is convenient to be able to extract personal information of an individual satisfying specific conditions.
Therefore, when the personal information stored in the storage means is taken out as described in claim 2, for example, an individual whose information is to be extracted such as a name, a telephone number, a date of birth, an address, and a work place is identified. Information may be extracted using the extraction condition. By doing so, it is possible to extract only the information that matches the extraction condition specified by the user, thereby simplifying the information search. Furthermore, for example, if multiple extraction conditions such as name and date of birth are specified at the same time, personal information that matches both conditions can be extracted. It is possible to more easily specify the extraction target individual intended by the user. Also, for example, if the workplace and address are specified as extraction conditions, it is possible to extract persons who have the same workplace and have similar addresses, so that even if the name is unknown, it is possible to search for personal information according to the user's request. It becomes easy to obtain.

The information extracted in this way may be output as the information in a state stored in the storage means as it is, as it is, output as it is. You may do so. That is, the information organizing means includes a form storage means for storing information in a predetermined format, and embeds the personal information extracted from the storage means in a form taken out from the form storage means to organize. By embedding the personal information in the form and outputting the form on the apparatus side, the user does not need to perform the work of embedding the personal information in the document. In particular, it is convenient to create sentences of the same format for many individuals, such as direct mail. In addition, forms that can be printed on labels, fixed forms such as New Year's cards and in-book visits, and forms unique to each company, such as invoices, can also be handled, making it extremely efficient for documents containing personal information, etc. Can be created. Of course, the information stored in the form is not limited to text information, and may be a freely laid-out document format including images, moving images, audio, and the like.

It is convenient if such a form can be maintained as described in claim 4. Since the form can be updated freely, for example, seasonal greetings can be replaced for each season, and various forms can be prepared. There is also personal information that is needed in the season, such as when writing a New Year's card. It is convenient to automatically extract and output the personal information necessary for each season at that time. Therefore, it is preferable to organize information at a predetermined timing. For example, the predetermined timing, New Year's card, hot summer visit, year-end gift,
If it is the time of the middle of the year, information will be automatically extracted and output at that time, so that the new year's card, hot summer visit, year-end gift, and forgetting to take out the middle of the year are eliminated.

Further, it is convenient to register a personal anniversary or the like in addition to these general events, and to automatically output the information of the corresponding individual when the anniversary comes. Therefore, as set forth in claim 6, personal information related information relating to a date or a time associated with the personal information is stored, and the information organizing means organizes the information on the date or the time based on the storage. Good to do. In this way, for example, the user does not need to remember each individual's birthday, wedding anniversary, and the like, and forgets to give a present or the like.

[0015] Further, in the case of a change in information on an individual or an emergency in an individual, a user may want the information as soon as possible. For example, if an individual dies,
For example, if you are arrested or go bankrupt. Therefore, when a request for a flash report is input,
It is good to organize and output information immediately. Also, when personal information with high immediacy is input, the information may be immediately organized and output. The determination as to whether or not personal information having a high degree of immediacy has been input is made, for example, by automatically extracting the occurrence of a case or the like based on the format from a breaking news mail of a newspaper in which articles of the case or the like are described in a predetermined format. And so on. In this way, for example, when an individual dies, is arrested, or goes bankrupt, the user can immediately obtain the information.

In the case where the device automatically outputs personal information as described in claims 5 to 7, as described in claim 8, it is necessary to organize the personal information of the user specified in advance by the user. Good to do. By doing so, the personal information of the individual specified by the user is automatically organized,
Personal information that is not relevant to the user is not output.

By the way, the present personal information management device can collectively manage the personal information possessed by each user if many users use the personal information collectively, so that more personal information can be extracted. become. Also, a plurality of users can input information to the same individual. Therefore, for example, if there is a change in the personal information of a certain individual, if the user who knows that the personal information has changed registers the personal information, the user who does not know that the change has Can retrieve personal information.

However, when the device is shared and used as described above, information registered by someone can be deleted or browsed by another person. Therefore, it is also possible for a malicious person to delete or falsify all information. Therefore, when the maintenance unit and the information organization unit access the storage unit, it is preferable that the storage unit can be accessed only when the access permission condition is satisfied. By doing so, it is possible to permit only an access from a specific user or to permit only an access from a specific computer.

The success or failure of the access permission condition may be determined based on the authentication information input via the input means. The authentication information is, for example, the user I
A combination of D and a password is realistic. Of course, biometric information such as a digital signature / ID card or voice recognition / fingerprint may be used. In this way, by specifying the user according to the authentication information, for example, only the information registered by the user himself can be changed, or only the users in the same group can browse the registered information.

Further, if the access can be restricted for each personal information stored in the storage means, it becomes possible to designate a user who can access each personal information. Therefore, it is preferable to determine whether or not the access permission condition is satisfied based on the access restriction information stored together with the personal information in the storage means. As the access restriction information, for example, if information for discriminating between public information and non-public information is used as described in claim 12, for example, the user can obtain private personal information that he does not want to disclose to others, Personal information that may be disclosed can be used separately. Furthermore, it is conceivable to use information indicating an accessible user as the access restriction information. In this way, for example, only people from the same company can access the information, or only people belonging to a specific group can access the information. Further, for example, for each personal information to be registered, information on a user who can read, update, and delete can be separately recorded, and different access restrictions can be applied to each operation.

As described above, by restricting access, it is possible to prevent data from being changed carelessly, and only a specific user can change or retrieve information. By the way, the input of such information may be performed by the user, but as described in claim 14, the input means automatically acquires and inputs information of another computer connected via the communication system. You may do so. For example, if a computer that is constantly updated to the latest personal information is selected as another computer and the personal information is used as the information to be acquired, the latest personal information is always stored in the storage unit of the personal information management device. As a result, the user can obtain the latest personal information. Therefore, the burden for the user to update the information can be reduced.

For example, as information automatically acquired,
If an operation instruction for information is input, processing can be performed based on an instruction from another computer. The user does not need to sequentially input instructions to the apparatus, and can input processing instructions collectively, which is convenient particularly when the same operation is repeatedly performed.

Also, for example, a WWW that uses a WWW as a communication system and automatically obtains information of a WWW server
The data on the WWW may be acquired using a robot. However, in this case, the data on the WWW may include data other than the personal information, and the data may not be able to be stored in the storage unit in the format as it is. Therefore, when inputting information, the input means may input only information meeting predetermined conditions from the input information.

As the predetermined condition, for example, “name”
A keyword for specifying information relating to an individual such as "age" is registered in advance, and a method of inputting a portion following the keyword as personal information or information from various input devices can be stored in a storage unit. It is good to use a method of converting to a format. By doing so, for example, the user can automatically extract the personal information only by inputting a text including the personal information by e-mail.

As described above, when information is obtained from various information sources via the input means, the credibility of the information may vary. For example, if the personal information is written on a business card directly received from the person, the information has high credibility. On the other hand, for example, information automatically acquired from the WWW or information heard by others may be information with low credibility. As described above, information having high credibility and information having low credibility are stored together, and if the information cannot be distinguished, the credibility of the entire stored information is reduced. Therefore,
The user himself / herself judges the credibility of the information by adding the credibility information indicating the credibility of the information to the personal information, storing the information and presenting the information to the user. You should be able to do it. Alternatively, only personal information having a certain level of credibility may be presented to the user using the credibility information.

The credibility information may be such that the user himself can subjectively determine and input the credibility of the information. The information shown may be used. As information indicating a route of obtaining personal information, for example, a medium on which information is described,
The location where the information is obtained may be used. In this case, it is possible to obtain information about the acquisition route of the information along with the personal information, so that it is possible to obtain the effect that the company or the person related to the individual is easily understood.

Further, information indicating the time of obtaining information may be used. Examples of the information indicating the information acquisition time include the information acquisition date and the information registration date. Of course, not only the day but also the time may be used. Remember these times along with your personal information,
If the information is presented to the user together with the personal information, the user himself / herself can see the time and judge the credibility of the information.
Further, for example, if it is specified as an extraction condition that only information after a specific time is to be extracted, only new information after a specific time can be extracted. Also, for example,
If personal information of the same person exists in the storage means and the time information of each personal information is different, it becomes possible to see the change of the personal information of the individual along the time axis, and to know the history of the person You can do it.

Further, it is preferable that the information stored in the storage means be maintained at a predetermined timing. By the maintenance, for example, old information is deleted or duplicate information is put together to reconstruct information. Further, the predetermined timing may be, for example, once every month, or at a certain time, or when the remaining capacity of the storage device becomes equal to or less than the certain capacity.

Further, as described in claim 20, the timing at which maintenance is performed may be determined based on the credibility information, for example, according to the information acquisition route. As a result of performing the maintenance at a predetermined timing as described above, the used capacity of the storage device can be reduced, and the information search speed can be increased.

By the way, the output of the output information may be output to a predetermined output destination or a user who has given an output instruction, but it is convenient if the output destination can be changed according to the user's instruction. . Therefore, it is preferable to output the output information to an output destination input via the input means. By doing so, for example, the output information can be output to another user, or the output information can be output to an output destination according to the user's instruction.

In some cases, it is troublesome for the user to specify the output destination one by one. Therefore, the output destination may be stored in the storage means, and the output information may be output to the output destination based on the storage. The output destination may be stored in advance by the user as necessary, or the output destination may be stored for each content of the output information. The output destination may be a device or a user.

As described above, the personal information management device of the present invention can be used alone, but as described in claim 23, the personal information management device is connected to the terminal device via a network. Forming a system is convenient because personal information can be input and output at each home and each company.
In this way, the personal information management device can be used via the communication network even at a location remote from the installation location of the personal information management device, and the time required for acquiring personal information can be reduced. it can.

[0033] As described in claim 24, at least one of these terminal devices may be a system constituted by a personal information management device. In this way, the personal information management devices connected via the communication network can exchange information with each other. Therefore, for example, if the information in the storage means of each personal information management device is always the same by exchanging information, there is no need to receive information via a communication line at the time of use, and the information stored in the storage means of the user's own terminal , The latest information can be obtained at high speed. Further, even if one personal information management device falls into an unusable state, information can be provided continuously by another personal information management device.

As described in claim 25, the function of realizing the information organizing means, the maintenance means, the input means and the output means of the personal information management apparatus in the computer system is, for example, a program activated on the computer system side. Can be prepared. In the case of such a program, for example, it can be used by recording it on a computer-readable recording medium such as a floppy disk, a magneto-optical disk, a CD-ROM, or a hard disk, and loading and activating the computer system as needed. it can.

Incidentally, the following configuration is also effective as a personal information management system. For example, claim 26
The described invention is a personal information management system comprising a management center for registering, managing, and providing various kinds of information relating to an individual, and a plurality of terminal devices connected to the management center via a communication network via a communication line. Upon receiving the identification information identifying the individual, the management center fetches all public information relating to the individual from the database, and
The information processing apparatus further includes a search transmission unit that returns the identification information to the terminal device that has transmitted the identification information.

According to the personal information management system of the present invention (claim 26), when the management center receives the identification information specifying the individual from the terminal device of the system subscriber, the management center transmits all the public information relating to the individual to all The information collected via a communication network or a communication line is fetched from a database for management and returned to the sender of the identification information.

Therefore, when it is desired to obtain information of a desired individual, a list containing only names, for example, is transmitted to the management center as identification information for specifying the individual, and information corresponding to the identification information is transmitted. For example, since information to which an address, a company name, a post, a telephone number, and the like are added is returned as personal information, the terminal device does not need to collect the information itself, which is very convenient. In addition, when the desired individuals have the same family name and the same name, the management center can easily manage the personal information as personal information by giving information that can specify at least one individual in addition to the name.

[0038] Next, in the invention according to claim 27, when the management center receives the personal information, it has means for updating the database based on the received personal information. And Thus, claim 27
According to the described personal information management system, the management center
Upon receiving the personal information, the database is updated based on the personal information.

Therefore, if the personal information is new or the latest information, the latest database can be created and managed by newly registering or updating the data based on the personal information. The device can receive the latest information from the management center without being distracted by outdated information, and is convenient as a system for managing personal information.

[0040] Next, in the invention according to claim 28, the terminal device connects to another database via the communication line, fetches information about the individual from the other database, and based on the latest information. It is characterized by having means for updating the database of its own terminal device.

As described above, according to the personal information management system of the twenty-eighth aspect, the terminal can request the personal information from the management center via the communication network and be provided with the information, so that the database can be shared. The terminal device independently fetches personal information from other databases, ie, a wide range of information networks such as newspapers, the Internet, and external database systems, by using an external information transmitting device such as a telephone or a facsimile via a communication line. Update the database of its own terminal device to the latest information.

Therefore, the terminal device can construct its own database while receiving the latest personal information from the management center. For example, when there is information that the user does not want to leak to the outside (including the management center), Can also be updated to the latest personal information including that information.

Next, in the invention according to claim 29, the management center searches the database in accordance with a request from the terminal device, and extracts and stores a notification database including notification time and information indicating the content thereof. Storage means;
Notification means for notifying the terminal device according to the notification database.

As described above, according to the personal information management system of the twenty-ninth aspect, when the notification request is received from the terminal device, the management center extracts the notification time and the information indicating the content from the database and sends the notification. Store as a database. Then, when the notification time is approaching, the terminal device that has requested the notification is notified of the notification timing and content.

[0045] Therefore, the management center, as the notification time from the terminal device and its contents, a greeting of the year-end and New Year holidays (new year's card and year-end gift), a gift about personnel affairs and congratulations, and more specifically, who Notification requests, such as sending New Year's cards and New Year's gifts and giving gifts to anyone's birthday on April 1, are stored as a notification database, and when the notification time approaches, the notification time and its Since the content is notified, the terminal device can execute the content without losing the notification time. In addition, even if the address of the person (destination) to be notified changes, the personal information is updated to the latest personal information owing to the effects of the invention described in claims 26 to 29, so that the content of the notification is ensured. Can be performed.

[0046]

[First Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a personal information management system as a first embodiment to which the present invention is applied. FIG. 1A shows a management center 1.
0 and a plurality of terminal devices 12 (12A, 12B, 12C,
..), And FIG. 1B is a configuration diagram of a database managed by the management center 10.

In FIG. 1A, a management center 10 for registering, managing, and providing various kinds of information (personal information) relating to individuals.
And the terminal device 12 of the subscriber who has contracted with the personal information management system is connected by a communication line 16 (Internet, intranet) via a communication network 14.

In addition to a plurality of terminal devices, a telephone 18 as an external information transmitting device and a FAX 1
9 is connected. The communication line 16 may be a wired telephone line most commonly used for transmitting and receiving character string data, but may be a satellite communication line, a mobile telephone line, a PHS telephone line, other wireless lines, infrared communication, or optical communication. good.

In FIG. 1B, the management center 1
0 manages personal information collected from all public information as a database, and includes a data file 20 in the database.
, A terminal device dedicated database 22, a notification time database 24, a notification content database 26, and an individual database 28.

The data file 20 stores all personal information collected by the management center 10 from various print media such as newspapers and magazines in response to an information collection request from the terminal device 12. The terminal device dedicated database 22
Stores all collected personal information as personal information corresponding to the request of each terminal device 12.

The personal database 28 stores personal information collected when the terminal device 12 requests information of a desired person from the management center 10. Also,
Notification time database 24 and notification content database 2
6, that is, the notification database will be described later.

The terminal device 12 is connected to the management center 10
Therefore, the personal information requested from these databases can be provided and shared, and the obtained database can be independently processed. The personal information management system according to the present embodiment configured as described above usually has a print type for obtaining personal information such as a name, company name, affiliation, title, postal code, address, telephone number, FAX number, and e-mail number. A business card is used as one of the media.

In that case, the system subscriber (terminal 1
The procedure for 2) for registering the business card information obtained from the business card in the database of the management center 10 is as follows. Upon receiving a business card from a business partner or the like, the terminal device 12 of the subscriber transmits information readable from the business card to the management center 10. That is, a copy of the business card is transmitted by the FAX 19 or the like. Then, the management center 10 sees the copy of the business card sent and registers the business card information in the data file 20 by manual input. Further, the information read from the business card by the terminal device 12 is transmitted to the management center 10 by e-mail. The management center 10 registers the business card information in the data file 20 as new personal information. Then, the transmitted personal information of the terminal device 12 is registered in a database in which the personal information is accumulated, that is, in the terminal device dedicated database 22.

In the personal information management system of this embodiment, processing of personal information is performed according to the flow shown in FIG.
The management center 10 receives a request for creating a personal information database desired by the terminal device 12 by facsimile or electronic mail (S200).

The personal information data is composed of all personal information data desired by the terminal device 12 and a unit of personal information data corresponding to each request. The former is a terminal device dedicated database 22, and the latter is an individual database. 28. Then, the management center 10 registers these in the database based on the received personal information data (S2).
10).

The management center 10 collects information on individuals registered in the terminal device dedicated database 22 or the individual database 28 using newspapers, the Internet, an external database system, or the like. For example, a list containing names of persons registered in the management center 10 is stored in the terminal device 1.
For each person, information such as personnel changes and unhappy notifications regarding the person is monitored in newspapers or magazines. If there is a report of a crime, that fact is additionally registered in the list. Bankers are also advertised in the newspapers by the court, which limits their activities. The financial institution needs to take control of the bankrupt, and the management center 10 constantly monitors the name of the bankrupt in a newspaper or the like and inputs the name to the data file 20 (S220).

The management center 10 updates the personal information database so that it is always the latest personal information data, for example, periodically renews it to the latest data once or twice a month (S230). In addition, a system is set up so that, when registered in the personal information database, if there is the same name and the same name, it can be identified by information such as a birthday, an address, and a telephone number that can identify the individual. In addition, the management center 10 performs a delivery agency business such as sending a postcard or a gift instead of the terminal device 12. For example, the management center 10
If the person registered in the personal information management system by the terminal device 12 is unhappy, the terminal device 12 is immediately contacted by a communication means such as a telephone or the Internet.
Accept applications for condolences. In addition, when there is a person who has been promoted due to a personnel change, a congratulatory call is also accepted. Also, at the end of the year, the management center 10 stores a list of addresses and names of persons registered in the system in a terminal device 12 that has requested the persons.
And have them select the people who need to issue a New Year's card. The terminal device 12 creates a New Year's card sending target list and sends it to the management center 10. When the management center 10 receives the target person list, the management center 10 makes an address label for each target person, or attaches the address label to a New Year's card and sends it to the terminal device 12. The creation of a sending label to give a gift for a summer visit or a celebration can be performed in the same manner as the New Year's card described above.

Since the management center 10 updates the personal information data after seeing the death advertisement in the newspaper, it is possible to prevent mistakes such as inadvertently sending a new year's card to a deceased person. In addition, during the yearly end of the year or during the season of Zhongyuan, the management center 1
0 sends the list of the destination candidates to the terminal device 12, and the terminal device 12 fills in the destination name and the product name and returns the list to the management center 10 again. And place the order on your behalf. When the terminal device 12 receives a relocation notice from an individual, the terminal device 12
When sent by X, e-mail, or the like, the management center 10 corrects and updates the information with new information such as an address and a telephone number. When the birthday or wedding anniversary is known in the personal information registered in the management system, the terminal device 12
A notification is received from the management center 10 by the day before, and the management center 10 receives an application for a congratulatory call, a gift, or the like.

[0059] The management center 10 provides the contents based on the information provision request from the terminal device 12 and the personal information collected by the management center 10, for example, "notification contents" indicating unpredictable contents such as personnel promotion and death / crime articles. Or, the terminal device 12
The terminal device 12 is notified of a time based on the information provision request, for example, a “notification time” indicating a time-restricted content such as mid-year, year-end, birthday, and the like.

When the management center 10 creates a notification database indicating the notification timing and the notification contents, a format pre-registered by the terminal device 12 or the management center 10, a so-called notification data form, is used for both databases. You. When receiving the request for creating the notification database from the terminal device 12, the management center 10 registers personal information indicating the notification content and the notification time in the notification content database 26 and the notification time database 24, respectively. The management center 10
When the notification content or the notification time to the terminal device 12 approaches (occurs) (S240-YES), the information is summarized in a table or the like in the above-described format (notification data form) based on the notification content or the notification time. A notification data set is created (S250). Then, the notification data set is transmitted to the requesting terminal device 12 via the communication line 16, and the notification is completed (S260).

Here, FIGS. 3 and 4 show a method of creating each data set of the notification content and the notification time, respectively. When the notification content newly occurs due to an accident of the registrant of the personal information, the new notification content is temporarily stored in the data file 20, and it is necessary to notify the terminal device 12 of what content soon. It is analyzed whether there is (S30)
0).

According to such a system, when a business card is received from another person, the business card is placed in a folder, managed, and
For example, when issuing a New Year's card, there is no need to copy it. When the user receives the business card, the user sends the business card to the management center by facsimile, electronic mail, or the like, and the management center registers the data in a computer and creates a list for each requester. Then, notices of personnel changes and misfortunes regarding the person are monitored in newspapers and the like.

At the end of the year, a list of addresses and names is sent to the requester, and a person who needs to send a New Year's card to the requester is sent a list of names to accept the application. When only necessary persons are accepted, the management center makes an address label or attaches an address label to a New Year's card and sends it to the requester. The same goes for the hot summer. The management center constantly monitors the newspaper's death advertisement and updates the data, so there is no need to inadvertently issue a new year's card for the deceased.

In the season of the year of end of year, Chugen, a list of destination candidates is sent. Enter the name of the destination and the name of the item and send it back. The item will be sent automatically from the department store. Also,
When there was unhappiness of an individual's parents or the like, they used to look at newspapers or the like and sent a condolence or went to a funeral ceremony. Also, when there was a change in personnel, the people used to celebrate by watching newspapers, but this is no longer necessary. Furthermore, for example, the main task of the secretarial section of the company is to grasp personnel changes at business partners, and it took time and effort to issue relocation notices and relocation notices to a large number of people. If it does, that need is gone. In addition, such work has been inefficient because each company has individually performed such work. However, this system does not need to be performed because it can be managed collectively. For example, if each politician watching the unfortunate notice of a constituency uses this system, there is no need to monitor each politician separately.

Further, it is necessary for the salesman to keep an eye on the personnel information of the customer at all times, and each salesman individually collects personnel information within one company. In particular, if there are multiple sales channels and many sales offices and salesmen, collecting information individually would be a huge waste from the perspective of the entire company. Therefore, it is possible to collectively manage information by installing the personal information management device at each sales office and providing each salesman with a terminal device.

Further, the management center has a telephone directory database, and when the requester inputs a telephone number by e-mail, the address, personal name, and the like can be displayed on the screen of the terminal. When the input contents are recognized as correct, they are automatically registered in the management center. If the person who wants to register is the family of the telephone owner, the correct name is not displayed. In this case, the name can be registered by correcting the name on the screen. If the registered person is unhappy, he / she will contact the requester immediately and accept applications for condolences. Congratulations are also accepted if you are promoted due to personnel changes.

When a notice of relocation is received, it is sent to the management center to correct the address. If the birthday or wedding anniversary is known, contact the client before that date and accept the application for congratulatory electricity and congratulations. It is very convenient because the above-mentioned communication is linked with the congratulations, condolences, and the application form for gifts. When issuing a New Year's card, a list of names can be viewed in advance, and those who do not need it can check and delete it.

[0125] Notification of relocation, relocation, etc. can be made to a designated person simply by notifying the management center.
The management center adds data when a crime is reported. Financial institutions want this data. The bankruptcy will be announced by the court in the newspaper. Bankrupts are restricted in various activities. Financial institutions need to keep track of their names. In the administration center, the bankrupt is always entering newspapers.

[0126] Since it is connected to the management center via a communication line, if you want to make a call, say your name to the terminal, the page of the registered person will be displayed by voice recognition, and the same name and the same name will be displayed. When you choose from people, you are automatically connected to the phone. When the telephone is not connected, a means for selecting a facsimile, an e-mail, or the like is provided. A single operation may be used to broadcast to a large number of people.

In the management center, the private information belonging to the privacy collected by the user and the public information are clearly separated from each other, so that the information relating to the privacy can be viewed only by those concerned. The public information is independently collected by the management center and is available to any member. Information collected by members independently is strictly managed as non-public information, and can only be used by that member. When the terminal is connected to the management center, both privacy and public information can be seen on the screen. But you can't see information that others have independently collected.

[0128] Only a specific person or a person related to a specific company may be allowed to browse. For example, the information collected by Company B is B
It can be made available only to those involved in the company. When a database relating to a person is to be created by himself, a list of only the person's name is first created, and the list of only the person's name is sent to a management center which collects public information and makes it a database via a communication line. Then, it will return the list with only the person's name with public information such as address, work place and hobby. If you have the same name and the same name, you will be sent back the information of all of them. This can save you a lot of time creating your own database. It updates the database once every three months or once a year, so you can always have a database of the latest people.

The management center has a database in advance, and if a new registration is to be made from the terminal, if only the telephone number is entered, the personal name, company name, address, etc. registered with that telephone number are called from the database. , On the left screen of the device. Then, data can be newly input by appropriately adding and correcting the contents displayed on the left screen. That is, it is possible to save the trouble of inputting. The same applies to a case where a company name, a person's name, and the like are input without being a telephone number.

Further, since the robot automatically searches the Internet and collects and updates data on persons, the latest information can be obtained.
