[0012] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a business card management system and a business card management program will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an example of the system configuration of a business card management system 100. As shown in FIG. 1, the business card management system 100 includes a management server 1 that manages a plurality of business card information, and a plurality of operation terminals 2 that accept operations by users. In the business card management system 100, the plurality of operation terminals 2 and the management server 1 are connected to each other so as to be able to communicate with each other via a network 5. The network 5 includes both wired and wireless networks. For example, a relay device (not shown) and the management server 1 may be connected via a wired network, and the operation terminal 2 and the relay device may be connected via a wireless network. The management server 1 includes a database 6, and here, as the database 6, a business card database 61 in which a plurality of business card information is stored, an account information database 62 in which a plurality of account information is stored, and a news report database 63 in which a plurality of news report information is stored are exemplified. The management server 1 may include a plurality of servers, and the functions of the management server 1 may be realized by these multiple servers.

[0013] In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, the operation terminal 2 is exemplified by a portable information terminal (PDA: Personal Digital Assistant) 2a that can be carried by a user, and a computer system 2b having a personal computer or the like as its core.

[0014] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the mobile information terminal 2a, which is the operation terminal 2, includes an input / output device 7, a calculation device 8, a storage device 9, and a communication device 10. Such a mobile information terminal 2a is, for example, a tablet terminal, a smartphone, etc. The input / output device 7 is configured with a touch panel 7a (shown in FIG. 1) equipped with an input unit 71 and an output unit 72. The calculation device 8 includes at least one microprocessor as a core, a DSP (Digital Signal Processor), and other peripheral elements, and is realized by the cooperation of these hardware and software. The storage device 9 is an internal storage of the mobile information terminal 2a configured with an SRAM, a flash memory, etc. The communication device 10 is, for example, a wireless LAN adapter built into the mobile information terminal 2a. Of course, the communication device 10 may include a wired LAN adapter.

[0015] Furthermore, the mobile information terminal 2a includes at least one of an update processing unit 8a that updates the business card information stored in the business card database 61 as software executed by the arithmetic unit 8, and a location information acquisition unit 11 that acquires location information indicating its own location. Note that FIG. 2 shows a configuration including both the update processing unit 8a and the location information acquisition unit 11. The update processing unit 8a is a browser installed in the mobile information terminal 2a. The location information acquisition unit 11 is a functional unit that acquires local location information that is information on the local location of the mobile information terminal 2a. Specifically, the location information acquisition unit 11 is configured to periodically acquire local location information at predetermined intervals and acquire local location information based on commands from other functional units. In this embodiment, the location information acquisition unit 11 acquires current local location information expressed in coordinates (latitude and longitude) every few seconds via a GPS receiving unit (not shown), which is a functional unit that receives GPS signals from GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites. In this embodiment, the mobile information terminal 2a (operation terminal 2) equipped with the position information acquisition unit 11 is the target operation terminal 2c.

[0016] The operation terminal 2 may be configured as a system including a plurality of devices, instead of an integrated terminal device like the mobile information terminal 2a. FIG. 3 shows an example of the operation terminal 2 configured by a computer system 2b with a personal computer or the like as its core. The arithmetic device 8 is, for example, a motherboard built into the main body of the personal computer, includes at least one microprocessor as the core, and is configured with a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and other peripheral elements. The input device 73 is, for example, a keyboard 73a (illustrated in FIG. 1) or a mouse 73b (illustrated in FIG. 1), and the output device 74 is a display 74a (illustrated in FIG. 1). The storage device 9 is, for example, a hard disk drive (HDD) or a solid state drive (SSD) built into the main body of the personal computer. Of course, the storage device 9 may be an HDD or SSD connected to the outside of the main body. The communication device 10 is, for example, a wireless LAN adapter or a wired LAN adapter built into the main body of the personal computer. Although the computer system 2b is illustrated here as being centered on a so-called desktop personal computer, the computer system 2b may be centered on a notebook (laptop) personal computer. Of the update processing unit 8a and the location information acquisition unit 11, the computer system 2b does not include the location information acquisition unit 11 that acquires location information indicating its own location, but only includes the update processing unit 8a that updates the business card information.

[0017] An embodiment of the business card management system 100 and the business card management program will be described in detail below. The business card management program is a program that realizes a business card management function in the management server 1 in the business card management system 100. The business card management function is realized by cooperation between hardware centered on the computing device 8 and software (the business card management program). As shown in Figure 4, the business card management program causes the management server 1 to execute an update information generation process to generate update information indicating the update contents when business card information is updated by an operation terminal 2 equipped with an update processing unit 8a, and to treat the updated business card information as updated business card information.The business card management program also causes the management server 1 to execute a notification process to notify the target operation terminal 2c of the update information when the target operation terminal 2c enters within a predetermined setting range C that includes the address of the person shown in the updated business card information (the address of building B in Figure 4).

[0018] Fig. 5 is a flow chart including the processing of the business card management program. As shown in Fig. 5, the business card management system 100 executes the following in the order described: updating of business card information by the operating terminal 2 #01, business card information update processing by the management server 1 #02, update information generation processing #03, determination by the target operating terminal 2c that the terminal itself has entered the set range C #04, transmission processing #05 by the target operating terminal 2c, notification processing #06 by the management server 1, and display processing #07 by the target operating terminal 2c. That is, the business card management program causes the management server 1 to execute a business card information update process #02, an update information generation process #03, and a notification process #06.

[0019] The business card information update #01 is a process in which the operation terminal 2 accepts an update of the business card information. The operation terminal 2 accesses the business card management program installed in the management server 1 by a browser (an example of the update processing unit 8a) installed in the operation terminal 2, displays a login screen (not shown), and accepts input of account information such as an ID and a password. The business card management program verifies the input account information against the account information stored in the account information database 62, and if the input account information matches, the operation terminal 2 displays a business card management screen (not shown). When part of the business card information such as the name, company name, and department name is input from the touch panel 7a or the keyboard 73a on the business card management screen, the business card information that matches the input content is displayed in a list, and when the desired business card information is selected, a business card details screen linked to the desired business card information is displayed. On the business card details screen, as shown in FIG. 6, memo information of the business card and an image of the business card are displayed together with basic business card information such as the company name, address, job title, name, kana name, telephone number, FAX number, and email address. Furthermore, the business card details screen displays a business card basic information update button S1 for updating the business card basic information, and a memo information update button S2 for updating the memo information. When the business card basic information update button S1 is pressed, an update screen (not shown) for updating the business card basic information is displayed, and when the memo information update button S2 is pressed, an update screen (not shown) for updating the memo information is displayed, and the update contents are entered on the update screen. Although not shown in the flowchart, when a registration operation for registering multiple pieces of business card information is performed on the operation terminal 2 before the business card information update #01, the business card management program executes a process for registering the business card information in the business card database 61. Also, when a deletion operation for business card information is performed on the operation terminal 2, the business card management program executes a process for deleting the business card information from the business card database 61.

[0020] Business card information update process #02 is a process in which the management server 1 updates the business card information when the input of the update contents on the update screen is completed. The management server 1 updates the business card information by overwriting and saving the update contents on the business card information stored in the business card database 61. In this embodiment, the updated business card information is called updated business card information.

[0021] The update information generation process #03 is a process in which the management server 1 generates update information indicating the updated contents. In other words, the management server 1 generates the difference between the business card information before the update and the updated business card information after the update as update information, and stores it in the business card database 61 in a form linked to the updated business card information.

[0022] The determination #04 of whether the target operating terminal 2c has entered the set range C (shown in FIG. 4) is a process of determining whether the target operating terminal 2c has entered a predetermined set range C including the address of the person shown in the updated business card information. The target operating terminal 2c stores in the storage device 9 candidate destination data including position data based on the address of the business card information stored in the business card database 61, and periodically determines at predetermined intervals whether the target operating terminal 2c has entered the set range C including the position data included in the candidate destination data corresponding to the updated business card information, and if the target operating terminal 2c has entered the set range C including the position data (Yes in #04), the following transmission process #05 is executed. Note that if the target operating terminal 2c is not within the set range C including the position data (No in #04), the operation of #04 is periodically and repeatedly executed. Here, the fact that the target operating terminal 2c has entered within the set range C including the position data included in the candidate destination data corresponding to the updated business card information means that the self-position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 11 of the target operating terminal 2c has entered within the set range C including the position data. Moreover, the set range C including the position data included in the candidate destination data is set to a range within a predetermined fixed distance from the position data.

[0023] Transmission process #05 is a process for transmitting to the management server 1 information that the target operating terminal 2c has entered the set range C together with the candidate destination data within the set range C. When the target operating terminal 2c's own location information acquired by its own location information acquisition unit 11 enters the set range C, the target operating terminal 2c immediately transmits information that its own location information is now within the set range C and the candidate destination data to the management server 1.

[0024] Notification process #06 is a process in which, when the management server 1 receives a contact from the target operating terminal 2c by the transmission process of #05, it notifies the target operating terminal 2c of update information of the business card information corresponding to the candidate destination data including position data within the set range C. The business card management program accesses the business card database 61, reads out update information linked to the business card information corresponding to the candidate destination data including position data within the set range C, and notifies the target operating terminal 2c that has entered the set range C of the update information. More specifically, the notification process #06 is executed when the target operating terminal 2c enters a set range C including the address of the person indicated in the updated business card information within a predetermined set period from the time when the update information generation process #03 is executed, and the business card management program sets the set period to a different period depending on at least one of the "content of the update information" and the "type of update information". For example, the business card details screen shown in Fig. 6 has a change notification setting area S3 in which the notification destination, notification destination category, priority, and read confirmation request can be set, and the "contents of update information" include the priority set in the change notification setting area S3. The business card information program sets a longer set period as the priority of the "contents of update information" is higher. The business card information program also sets a shorter set period as the "type of update information" is information such as the recent hobbies of the person shown in the business card information and is a type of information that is relatively current. The set period set in the business card management program is stored in the business card database 61 in association with the update information.

[0025] Furthermore, the business card management program executes notification process #06 with an operating terminal 2 (mobile information terminal 2a) that has not yet accessed the updated business card information as the target operating terminal 2c. Here, the operating terminal 2 (mobile information terminal 2a) that has not yet accessed the updated business card information is an operating terminal 2 that has not viewed the updated business card information in the business card database 61 connected to the management server 1 via a browser, or an operating terminal 2 that has not been notified of the update information by notification process #06. As described above, when at least one of the notification destination and notification category is set in the change notification setting area S3 of the business card details screen shown in Figure 6, the range to which the update information is notified is limited to the target operating terminal 2c that satisfies the set conditions of the set notification destination and notification category.

[0026] Furthermore, in notification process #06, the business card management program notifies the user of press information related to the updated business card information in addition to the update information. The press information related to the updated business card information is information stored in the press database 63, and is press information showing the person shown in the updated business card information and the corporation or organization to which that person belongs.

[0027] Display process #07 is a process of displaying the update information on the touch panel 7a by the push notification function of the target operating terminal 2c. As shown in Fig. 7, an outline of the update information is displayed on the touch panel 7a of the target operating terminal 2c, and by tapping the notification, details of the update information and news reports related to the update information are displayed.

[0028] Other embodiments (1) In the above embodiment, the business card management system 100 is configured to include the news report database 63. However, the present invention is not limited to such a configuration, and the database 6 may include only the business card database 61 and the account information database 62. In this configuration, news report information is not notified in notification process #06.

[0029] (2) In the above embodiment, the set range C including the location data included in the destination candidate data is a range within a certain distance from the location data. However, the present invention is not limited to such a configuration, and the set range C including the location data can be set within an administrative district such as a city, town, or village that includes the location data, or on the same street (street, road) as the location data, within a certain distance from the location data.

[0030] (3) In the above embodiment, the business card management program is configured to set the set period to a different period depending on at least one of the content and type of update information. However, the present invention is not limited to such a configuration, and may be configured such that the set period is specified by the user who updates the business card information.

[0031] (4) In the above embodiment, the display process #07 is configured to display the update information on the touch panel 7a by the push notification function of the target operating terminal 2c. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the display process #07 may be configured to notify the update information by SNS (Social Networking Service), e-mail, or SMS (Short Message Service).

[0032] (5) In the above embodiment, the business card management program is configured to execute the notification process #06 with an operating terminal 2 (portable information terminal 2a) that has not yet accessed the updated business card information as the target operating terminal 2c. However, the business card management program may be configured to execute the notification process #06 with an operating terminal 2 (portable information terminal 2a) that has accessed the updated business card information a certain number of times or less as the target operating terminal 2c. The business card management program may also be configured to execute the notification process #06 with the operating terminal 2 (portable information terminal 2a) regardless of the number of times the updated business card information has been accessed. The business card management program may also be configured not to set the operating terminal 2 (portable information terminal 2a) that has updated the business card information as the target operating terminal 2c.

[0033] (6) In the above embodiment, the determination #04 by the target operating terminal 2c that the target operating terminal 2c itself has entered the set range C is performed by the mobile information terminal 2a (target operating terminal 2c) which is the operating terminal 2. However, the determination #04 may be performed by the management server 1. In this case, the management server 1 acquires location information from the location information acquisition unit 11 of the mobile information terminal 2a at a predetermined time interval, and executes the determination #04 based on the acquired location information of the mobile information terminal 2a.

[0034] (7) The configurations disclosed in the above-described embodiments can be applied in combination with configurations disclosed in other embodiments, as long as no contradiction occurs. As for other configurations, the embodiments disclosed in this specification are merely examples in all respects. Therefore, various modifications can be made as appropriate within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0035] [Outline of the present embodiment] The business card management system 100 and the business card management program described above will now be briefly outlined.

[0036] In one preferred embodiment, the business card management system comprises: a management server connected to a business card database in which a plurality of pieces of business card information are stored and which manages the business card information; A business card management system including a plurality of operation terminals communicably connected to the management server and configured to receive operations by users, Each of the plurality of operation terminals an update processing unit that updates the business card information stored in the business card database; a location information acquisition unit that acquires location information indicating its own location; At least one of the following is provided: The management server includes: When the business card information is updated by the operation terminal having the update processing unit, an update information generation process is executed to generate update information indicating the update contents; The updated business card information is treated as updated business card information, and the operation terminal having the location information acquisition unit is treated as a target operation terminal, When the target operating terminal comes within a predetermined setting range including the address of the person shown in the updated business card information, a notification process is executed to notify the target operating terminal of the updated information.

[0037] According to this configuration, when business card information is updated, the updated information is notified to a target operating terminal that is within a set range including the address of the person shown in the updated business card information, so that the updated information can be notified at an appropriate time to a user who is located near the address shown in the updated business card information and who may need the updated information. This allows, for example, a user who holds a target operating terminal that is within the set range of the address shown in the updated business card information to easily use the updated information when conducting sales activities at that address. In this way, according to this configuration, a business card management system that can notify updated business card information at an appropriate time can be realized.

[0038] As one preferred embodiment, a management server connected to a business card database in which a plurality of pieces of business card information are stored and which manages the business card information; In a business card management system including a plurality of operation terminals communicably connected to the management server and configured to receive operations by users, a business card management program for causing a computer to realize a business card management function in the management server includes: Each of the plurality of operation terminals, an update processing unit that updates the business card information stored in the business card database; a location information acquisition unit that acquires location information indicating its own location; and The management server includes: When the business card information is updated by the operation terminal having the update processing unit, an update information generation process is executed to generate update information indicating the update contents; The updated business card information is treated as updated business card information, and the operation terminal having the location information acquisition unit is treated as a target operation terminal, When the target operating terminal comes within a predetermined setting range including the address of the person shown in the updated business card information, a notification process is executed to notify the target operating terminal of the updated information.

[0039] According to this configuration, when business card information is updated, the updated information is notified to a target operating terminal that is within a set range including the address of the person shown in the updated business card information, so that the updated information can be notified at an appropriate time to a user who is located near the address shown in the updated business card information and who may need the updated information. This allows, for example, a user who holds a target operating terminal that is within the set range of the address shown in the updated business card information to easily use the updated information when conducting sales activities at that address. In this way, according to this configuration, a business card management program that can notify updated business card information at an appropriate time can be realized.

[0040] In addition, the management server executes the notification process when the target operating terminal enters the set range including the address of the person shown in the updated business card information within a predetermined set period from the time when the updated information generation process is executed; It is preferable that the set period be set to a different period depending on at least one of the contents and the type of the update information.

[0041] According to this configuration, the management server notifies the target operating terminal that is within a set range including the address of the person shown in the updated business card information of update information that has been generated within a set period since its creation, thereby preventing old update information from being notified. Therefore, it is possible to increase the possibility that only useful update information is notified to the user. In addition, by setting different set periods depending on at least one of the contents and the type of update information, it is possible to increase the possibility that only more useful update information is notified to the user. For example, the set period for highly current update information such as the latest hobby activities of the person shown in the updated business card information is set relatively short, and the set period for update information such as title and affiliation is set relatively long, thereby increasing the usefulness of the update information to the user who receives the notification.

[0042] In addition, the management server It is preferable to execute the notification process by treating the operating terminal that has not yet accessed the updated business card information as the target operating terminal.

[0043] According to this configuration, the update information is notified only to operation terminals that have not accessed the updated business card information in the past, so that it is possible to reduce the possibility that the user is notified of already-known update information.

[0044] The management server is connected to a news database in which news information is stored, In the notification process, it is preferable to notify the press information related to the updated business card information in addition to the update information.

[0045] According to this configuration, in the notification process, in addition to the business card update information, news report information related to the updated business card information, for example, news report information including the company name included in the updated business card information, can be notified. Therefore, the usefulness of the notification to the user who receives the notification can be further improved.

[0046] In addition, the target operation terminal is storing destination candidate data including location data based on the addresses of the business card information stored in the business card database; execute a transmission process for transmitting to the management server, when the user enters within the set range including the location data included in the visiting destination candidate data corresponding to the updated business card information, the information indicating that the user has entered within the set range together with the visiting destination candidate data within the set range; The management server includes: It is preferable to execute the notification process when a contact is received from the target operating terminal by the transmission process.

[0047] According to this configuration, the target operation terminal can determine whether the target operation terminal has entered the set range without frequently sending the location information of the target operation terminal to the management server, thereby reducing the amount of communication between the target operation terminal and the management server during the determination. [Industrial Applicability]
