<Importance>
FIG. 3 shows contacts in this system.

  The circles shown in FIG. 3 represent users, and arrows indicate contact and response. For example, “A → B” indicates that A has contacted B. Bidirectional arrows indicate contact and response.

  For the user, it is determined that the other user indicated by 302 is a partner with whom a response has been established and has high importance. A response is established when a user contacts another user, when there is a response from the other user, and conversely when another user contacts the user. The case where the user responds to the other user is included.

  For the user, it is determined that the other user indicated by 304 is a partner whose response has not been established when the user contacts the partner, and that the importance is medium. The case where the response is not established when the user contacts the other party includes the case where there is no response from the other user when the user contacts the other user.

  For the user, it is determined that the other user indicated by 306 is a partner whose response has not been established at the time of contact from the other user, and the importance is low. The case where the response is not established at the time of contact from another user includes the case where the other user does not respond when the user contacts the user.

  In this embodiment, as an example of a method for determining the importance of other users, the other users are classified based on whether or not there is a response.

  In this system, an example of calculating an importance index that quantifies the importance is shown for a user with a high importance and a user with a medium importance among other users. Users who are low may be included.

  In this system, when calculating the importance index, a predetermined coefficient (hereinafter referred to as “contact means coefficient”) is set according to the contact means used by the user for contact.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of a contact means coefficient set according to the contact means. FIG. 4 shows a case where the contact means coefficient is set according to the degree of urgency as an example of the contact means coefficient set according to the contact means. The contact means coefficient may be set according to other conditions without being limited to the degree of urgency, or contact means coefficients having the same values may be set.

Specifically, it is assumed that the user uses a telephone, an e-mail, and Twitter as the contact means in descending order of urgency. In this case, telephones, e-mails, and twitters are assigned in descending order of the contact means coefficient from the higher contact means coefficient. For example, the contact means coefficient when a telephone is used is “3”, the contact means coefficient when an e-mail is used is “2”, and the contact means coefficient when Twitter is used is “1”. This communication means coefficient is an example and can be changed as appropriate. For example, the value of the contact means coefficient may be changed according to the time zone. In the present system, the elapsed time from when the user contacts to when the user responds to the other user, conversely, the contact by the other user. A coefficient (hereinafter referred to as “elapsed time coefficient”) is set according to the elapsed time from when there is a response until it responds. It is assumed that the higher the importance of another user for the user, the shorter the elapsed time until the response, and conversely, the higher the importance of the user for other users, the shorter the elapsed time until the response. It is.

FIG. 5 shows an example of an elapsed time coefficient that is set in accordance with an elapsed time from the contact until the response is received and an elapsed time from the contact until the response is received. The elapsed time coefficient is an example and can be changed as appropriate. For example, the value of the coefficient may be changed according to the time zone.Specifically, the elapsed time from the contact until the response is received and the elapsed time from the contact until the response is increased in descending order. The elapsed time coefficient is set. For example, the elapsed time coefficient when the response time is elapsed and the elapsed time until response is “0 to 1 minute” (less than 1 minute) is “2”, “1 minute to 30 minutes” (1 The elapsed time coefficient is “1.5” in the case where it is equal to or greater than 30 minutes and less than 30 minutes. Furthermore, the elapsed time coefficient when the elapsed time until the response is “30 minutes” (30 minutes or more) is set to “1.0”. Further, the elapsed time coefficient when the elapsed time until the response is “30 minutes” (30 minutes or more) is set to “0”. This is because, when there is a communication and no response is made, for example, it is assumed that the communication is incorrect and the importance is assumed to be low. Hereinafter, the elapsed time from the contact until the response is received and the elapsed time from the contact until the response is referred to as “response speed”. The category of “response speed” can be changed as appropriate.

  The contact means used for responding to the contact after contacting by a certain contact means may be the same or different. For example, if they are different, they may be answered by e-mail or Twitter as a response to the telephone contact. In this embodiment, the case where the contact means used for the response is not questioned is shown.

  In this system, when a user contacts another user, if there is a contact from the other user, it is regarded as a response. When one response corresponds to one contact and there are multiple responses, the second and subsequent responses are not regarded as responses to the contact. For example, the second response is regarded as a contact from another user.

  The address management server 100 calculates an importance index for each user.

  For example, the importance index is calculated by multiplying the contact means coefficient corresponding to the contact means used for contacting and the contact means coefficient corresponding to the response speed for the contact. The importance index is calculated as a set of communication and response.

  The address management server 100 sums up the importance indices for a predetermined period for each of other users, thereby obtaining a total of the importance indices for the predetermined period (hereinafter referred to as “total importance index”). .

  The address management server 100 updates the address book by sorting other users in descending order of the total importance index.

The address book management server 100 transmits the updated address book to the mobile terminal device 200 _n .

Further, the address book management server 100, between the portable terminal apparatus 200 _n and the other mobile terminal device, when the profile information is exchanged, the address book of the mobile terminal apparatus 200 _n and the other mobile terminal device Compare with address book and extract common contacts.

The severity index for the common contact partner for the portable terminal apparatus 200 _n indicates the importance index of common communication partner is calculated based on the communication history of the portable terminal apparatus 200 _n. The total importance index for a predetermined period may be obtained and arranged in descending order of the total importance index based on the total importance index.

  The address book management server 100 calculates the common contact partner importance index for other mobile terminal devices, and generates common contact partner information by arranging them in descending order of importance index. The common contact partner importance index for other mobile terminal devices indicates the importance index of the common contact partner calculated based on the communication history of the other mobile terminal devices. The total importance index for a predetermined period may be obtained and arranged in descending order of the total importance index based on the total importance index.
