Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a name list system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a roster is created by an organization such as a school or a company in a form in which personal information (attribute information) of a target person (student, employee, etc.) is posted on a paper medium. Other than that, it is distributed as secret information.

[0003]

However, due to its portability and copyability, the conventional roster in the form of a paper medium is made into a database by rosters who are not qualified to browse the roster and is easily misused. There is. Further, in the conventional roster having the form of a paper medium, due to the fixedness of the information, only the personal information at the time of printing the roster is shown as the content, and the real-time personal information at the time of browsing cannot be obtained.

[0004] For example, in the case of a reunion list issued every other year,
It is not known whether the personal information obtained by browsing is the same as the real-time personal information at the present time. Even if the telephone number is changed due to relocation or a high-speed line contract after (or just before) the issuance of the roster, the roster medium does not have the function of automatically updating the information. This is because there is no inquiry function. Therefore, a situation occurs in which the old data up to two years ago is not known until the telephone is disconnected.

Further, in the conventional roster having the form of a paper medium, even if the qualification of a student or an employee is lost due to graduation or retirement, the corresponding personal information does not automatically disappear from the roster medium. As a result, even though "keeping the roster" does not guarantee the right to view the information at that time, it remains available to disqualified students and employees.

That is, it is impossible for a person who is permitted to obtain information to obtain the information at the present time by using a name list medium printed and fixed with information in the past. Originally, the access qualification to the constantly updated database should be confirmed each time, and only authorized persons should be able to obtain information only after making an inquiry. Further, although it is necessary to take some measures so that the name list cannot be sold or copied, the current name list medium cannot. As described above, the conventional roster having the form of a paper medium has a drawback in information management in both the medium itself and the browsing thereof.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a name list system in which only persons who are qualified to obtain information can obtain real-time personal information at the present time. .

[0008]

In order to solve the above problems, according to the present invention, a server having a name list medium in which names and ID codes of a plurality of persons are described and a database including attribute information of the plurality of persons. And ID from the list medium
An information terminal device for optically reading a code and transmitting the code to the server, wherein the server provides the ID code transmitted from the information terminal device and the information terminal device transmitted from the information terminal device. A name list system characterized by transmitting attribute information of a person corresponding to the ID code to the information terminal device in response to a unique device code.

According to a preferred aspect of the present invention, the server authenticates access to the database based on the password transmitted from the information terminal device.
Further, it is preferable that the server authenticates access to a specific type of attribute information among a plurality of types of attribute information included in the database, based on the device code transmitted from the information terminal device.

Further, according to a preferred aspect of the present invention, the server has a database containing a plurality of name list information, and a plurality of databases included in the database are based on a device code transmitted from the information terminal device. Authenticate access to specific list information of the list information. Also, the server may transmit only the requested attribute information to the information terminal device among the plurality of types of attribute information included in the database based on the request information type transmitted from the information terminal device. preferable.

Since the access to the first name list database 2a is authenticated on the basis of the password transmitted from the person, it is possible to access the first name list database 2a of the server 2 in advance by a person who is not the true owner of the information terminal device 3. It is possible to surely prevent a situation in which a person who is not authorized to view the list obtains the list information. In addition, in the present embodiment, based on the request information type transmitted from the information terminal device 2, only the requested attribute information is sent to the information terminal device 3 among the plural types of attribute information included in the first name list database 2a. Since the information is transmitted, only the desired information can be promptly and inexpensively provided to the person who wants to browse.

In this embodiment, of the attribute information contained in the first name list database 2a, for example, access to address information is permitted, but access to telephone number information and e-mail address information is not permitted. Such various accessible information levels are set, and the accessible information levels are registered in the authentication database 2c in association with each device code corresponding to a large number of name list browsing qualified persons. Therefore, by authenticating the access to the specific type of attribute information included in the first name list database 2a based on the device code transmitted from the information terminal device 3, the access is permitted according to the accessible information level. It is possible to manage various rosters by making only information available.

In this embodiment, the server 2 is the first
There is a second name list database 2b different from the name list database 2a. For example, various accessible name list levels such that access to the first name list database 2a is permitted but access to the second name list database 2b is not permitted. Is set and the accessible name list level is registered in the authentication database 2c in association with each device code corresponding to a large number of name list viewing qualified persons. Therefore, by authenticating the access to the specific name list information (2a, 2b) based on the device code transmitted from the information terminal device 3, only the name list information for which access is permitted according to the accessible name list level is obtained. Various roster management can be performed without being able to do it.

As described above, according to the present invention, by switching to the access method for electronic information while keeping the conventional form of the paper medium, it is possible to minimize the information leakage due to the defect of the list of the paper medium. it can. In other words, by immediately confirming the status of access qualifications in the registration database, it becomes possible to judge in advance the services that can be provided under the current circumstances, and it is possible to reduce social loss due to information leakage to unqualified persons. .

Further, conventionally, it was forced to wait for voluntary list return after qualification loss due to withdrawal or retirement, but in the present invention, the access to the device code is prohibited to immediately prohibit the revoked person from browsing the information. It is possible to reduce the loss due to unauthorized browsing. In addition, unification of multiple existing roster information databases, which had not been integrated in the past, will be promoted, and social cost reduction can be expected. Further, conventionally, the presence or absence of the qualification was confirmed only when the roster was issued, but it is possible to execute the member management in real time by selectively providing information according to the access right.
