[0010] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The same reference numerals are used throughout the drawings to designate the same parts, and duplicated explanations will be omitted.

[0011] FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing a schematic configuration of a content archive system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0012] The content archive system 1 shown in Figure 1 is a suitable system for children, pupils, students, their parents, and teachers to reminisce about their school life when they visit the content archive system site in the future. Another feature of the content archive system 1 is that it manages and provides content by school and grade level, making it easy to store, search, and view memories of school life.

[0013] The content archive system 1 is configured by connecting a school terminal 20, a child terminal 30, and a parent terminal 40 to a server 10 via communication lines.

[0014] The server 10 is a computer operated by a management company that provides a content archive service. The server 10 is configured to store and view content by school and grade. In other words, the server 10 manages content by specific grade of a specific school.

[0015] The content is configured so that only people in a specific grade at a specific school can view or post (upload) it.

[0016] The above-mentioned "specific related parties" are, for example, school-related parties of a specific school, students of a specific school and a specific grade, and their parents. The scope of school-related parties of a specific school may be all faculty and staff of the specific school, or may be limited to faculty and staff of the specific school who are directly involved in teaching a specific grade, such as homeroom teachers, assistant teachers, and subject teachers, and can be set as appropriate.

[0017] The school terminal 20 is a terminal operated by a school official.

[0018] The child terminal 30 is a terminal operated by a child. In this embodiment, the term "child" is used to describe use in an elementary school, but the child may be a junior high school, high school, vocational school, or university, and "child" may be appropriately interpreted as pupils or students depending on the school that operates the content archive system 1.

[0019] The parent terminal 40 is a terminal operated by a parent of a child, pupil, or student.

[0020] The school terminal 20, the child terminal 30, and the parent terminal 40 are configured using, for example, a tablet, a smartphone, or a personal computer.

[0021] Server 10 provides a browsing-only site 10A and a posting-only site 10B. The viewing-only site 10A and the posting-only site 10B may be provided using different hardware, or the same hardware may be used to provide both sites.

[0022] The browsing-only site 10A can be accessed from a school terminal 20, a child terminal 30, and a parent terminal 40 operated by specific parties, and provides a browsing service for content stored in the server 10.

[0023] The posting-only site 10B accepts content submissions only from users who are permitted to submit content. Submissions cannot be made from the viewing-only site 10A, and submissions are accepted only from the posting-only site 10B.

[0024] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the hardware configuration of the server 10. As shown in FIG.

[0025] The server 10 includes a processor 101 , a RAM 102 , a ROM 103 , a storage 104 , a display 105 , and a communication I / F 106 , which are connected to each other via a bus 107 .

[0026] A wired or wireless communication device 108 for connecting to a communication network is connected to the communication I / F 106, and the school terminal 20, the child terminal 30, and the parent terminal 40 are each connected via the communication device 108.

[0027] FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram of the server 10.

[0028] The server 10 includes a viewing-only site control unit 11, a posting-only site control unit 12, and a content storage unit 13.

[0029] The browse-only site control unit 11 performs login authentication for those who access the browse-only site 10A and controls the display of the browse-only site 10A.

[0030] The posting site control unit 12 controls the login authentication of a person who has accessed the posting site 10B, the display of the posting site 10B, and the storage of posted content in the content storage unit 13.

[0031] The content storage unit 13 stores content posted from the posting-only site 10B. It may also store content posted from a terminal operated by the operating company. Data added to the content indicating which school and which grade the content belongs to (which may include, for example, a hashtag) is stored in association with the content.

[0032] The view-only site control unit 11 and the posting-only site control unit 12 record user information of those who have been granted access rights to the view-only site 10A and the posting-only site 10B, for example, name, attribute (teacher, student, guardian, etc.), login ID, login password, etc. The view-only site control unit 11 and the posting-only site control unit 12 may refer to the access right data during login processing to allow or disallow access to the site.

[0033] The viewing-only site control unit 11 and the posting-only site control unit 12 are realized by the hardware of the server 10 executing programs that realize these functions. The content storage unit 13 may be configured using a partial area of ​​the storage 104.

[0034] FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing in the content archive system.

[0035] School personnel obtain a form (school form) from the content archive system operating company, on which they can enter the information necessary to create a school-specific environment. They then fill in the school form with the information necessary to begin using the content archive system, such as the name of their school, the grade they are in charge of, as well as viewer permissions, contributor permissions, and print permissions, and submit it to the operating company (S100). It is recommended that the school form be submitted to the operating company by email, fax, mail, etc., rather than via a web page. This prevents content archive system user information from being leaked via a web page.

[0036] The operating company creates an environment for each school based on the information provided in the received school form and sets up users (S101).

[0037] [View] A user, for example, a school official, a child, a guardian, or an operating company, sends login information to the browse-only site 10A (S110), and the browse-only site control unit 11 executes login authentication processing. If the login is successful (S111), the browse-only site control unit 11 permits viewing (S112). The user can view the school card posted on the browse-only site on each terminal (S113).

[0038] On the viewing site, users can view cards posted by themselves and other designated related parties. This allows them to record school life using images and videos, which are then archived mutually between designated related parties and the operating company of server 10, creating a so-called "school-specific grade-specific SNS" environment for preserving memories of school life from multiple perspectives. In this "school-specific grade-specific SNS" environment, only designated related parties can post and view content, allowing memories to be archived while protecting children's personal information. In particular, yearbook albums have limitations, such as the number of images that can be included due to the limited number of images that can be stored in the album, and the inability to include videos. However, this embodiment allows content that cannot be included in yearbook albums to be shared among designated related parties while protecting personal information.

[0039] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a top screen, FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a menu screen, and FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a profile screen.

[0040] The top screen 500 in Fig. 5 is a screen for accessing content for a specific grade only. The top screen 500 is divided into categories (see reference numeral 501). Additionally, pages that have been updated are displayed as "Recent Events" 502 (see reference numeral 502). Clicking the menu button 503 displays the menu 600 in Fig. 6.

[0041] When the "Profile" button 601 in the menu 600 is clicked, the profile screen 700 in FIG. 7 is displayed.

[0042] FIG. 8 is a diagram showing example categories.

[0043] The content archive system 1 of this embodiment is an example applied to providing a service for creating memories in school life, and therefore, as shown in Fig. 8, the categories for classifying the contents are categories related to school life.

[0044] FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a card list.

[0045] As shown in Fig. 9, when a tag is specified as a search key, a list of cards 900 with the tag is displayed. When one of the cards is tapped, the card is enlarged and displayed, as shown in Fig. 10.

[0046] Fig. 10 is a diagram showing an example of a card configuration, and Fig. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a favorite card list.

[0047] 10, a card 1000 is configured by associating an image or video 1001 with its explanatory text 1002 and arranging them on the same card. In the case of a video, a play button is displayed.

[0048] If you like a card, you can register it on your personal page by pressing the favorite button 1003. Cards added to your favorites can be collected and displayed in a favorite card list (favorite content list) 1100, as shown in FIG.

[0049] [Post (upload)] Returning to FIG. 4, the user creates a card (S120). A person with posting authority sends login information to posting site 10B (S121), and if posting site control unit 12 executes login authentication and is successful (S122), posting is permitted (S123). Thereafter, the person with posting authority posts the card to posting site 10B (S124). The scope of posting authority can be freely set. Posting site control unit 12 stores the card in content storage unit 13 (S125).

[0050] For example, a child may create a card using an image taken of students in a particular grade. Cards may also be posted by teachers, not by students. A parent in charge of public relations may create and post a card using an image taken at a school event or the like. Furthermore, a child on duty may create and post a card at the end of the day as a substitute for a class diary. When posting a card, the card may be associated with the category shown in FIG. 8 and posted from dedicated posting site 10B.

[0051] [Reflection sheet function] A reflection sheet is a document that compiles your favorite images. You can create a reflection sheet for each event and share it with your teacher.

[0052] FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of a review sheet.

[0053] The reflection sheet 1200 in FIG. 12 includes at least one image 1201 registered as a favorite, a memoir 1202, and a comment 1203 from the teacher.

[0054] Fig. 13 is a flowchart showing the steps for creating a reflection sheet. Below, an example is explained in which a student creates a draft of the reflection sheet and the teacher checks it. Fig. 14 is a diagram showing an example of an initial setting screen for the reflection sheet, Fig. 15 is a diagram showing an example of a layout selection screen for the reflection sheet, Fig. 16 is a diagram showing an example of an editing screen for the reflection sheet, Fig. 17 is a diagram showing an example of a submission completion screen, and Fig. 18 is a diagram showing an example of a check screen for the reflection sheet.

[0055] The child sets initial information using the child terminal 30 (S1300). To set the initial information, the child inputs necessary information on the initial setting screen 1400 of the reflection sheet shown in Fig. 14, such as entering a title, and narrowing down the cards to be posted on the reflection sheet by the target period of the cards or hashtags.

[0056] Next, the child selects a layout using the child terminal 30 (S1301). The layout can be selected based on the number of images desired to be included in the reflection sheet on the layout selection screen 1500 shown in Fig. 15. At this stage, images may be placed randomly in the image frames of the layout.

[0057] Next, the child performs editing work using the child terminal 30 (S1302). The editing work involves replacing an image 1601 and inputting a memento 1602 on an editing screen 1600 shown in FIG.

[0058] When the student has finished editing the reflection sheet, he / she submits it to the teacher (S1303). When the student operates the "Submit to teacher" button 1603 on the editing screen 1600, the manuscript of the reflection sheet being created is saved in the server 10, and the submission completion screen 1700 shown in FIG. 17 is displayed on the student terminal 30.

[0059] The teacher checks the contents of the reflection sheet using the school terminal 20 (S1304). When the teacher accesses the server 10 from the school terminal 20 using the account shared with the student, a check screen 1800 shown in Fig. 18 is displayed. The teacher refers to the check screen 1800 and checks the contents of the submitted draft of the reflection sheet.

[0060] The teacher may enter his / her comments on the reflection sheet using the school terminal 20 (S1305). By entering the comments in the "Comments from teacher" field 1801 on the check screen 1800, the teacher's comments can be added to the reflection sheet.

[0061] When the reflection sheet is completed, the teacher outputs the reflection sheet in PDF format from the school terminal 20 (S1306). When the "Output in PDF" button 1802 on the check screen 1800 is operated, the reflection sheet is output in PDF format. The reflection sheet output in PDF format can be printed. Note that printing authority for the reflection sheet may be set appropriately, such as limiting it to school-related personnel or the school terminal 20. This completes the reflection sheet 1200 shown in FIG. 12. As an output mode, in addition to printing, it may also be posted to the posting-only site 10B.

[0062] FIG. 19 is a diagram showing an example of a review sheet list screen.

[0063] 19, thumbnails of previously created review sheets are displayed with their titles superimposed on them. Clicking on one of these displays an enlarged version of the review sheet (see FIG. 12).

[0064] According to the present invention, access can be managed separately for the viewing-only site and the posting-only site, so that when used at school, children can be permitted to view content while preventing careless posting by children. Also, since viewing and posting by anyone other than specific parties can be prevented, images and videos taken during school life can be shared with students in the same grade at the same school, making it easier to share memories, while taking into consideration the protection of children's personal information.

[0065] FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating an example of system implementation.

[0066] As shown in FIG. 20, the content archive system according to this embodiment is configured as a multi-tenant system.

[0067] Multi-tenant systems have the advantage of making application deployment easier. They also have the advantage of allowing services to be provided to all customers with a single configuration, which allows for efficient use of server and other resources. Furthermore, because they are shared by multiple customers, ownership and maintenance costs can be reduced.

[0068] The structure, system, program, and the like of the present invention can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0069] For example, it is possible to combine two or more components into one, or conversely, it is possible to configure one component from two or more separate components and connect them together.

[0070] Furthermore, the above embodiment is merely one of the best modes currently available.

[0071] Furthermore, the control may be performed by a higher-level control section, or by a lower-level control section.

[0072] Furthermore, the order of control can be changed as appropriate as long as it has a predetermined effect. [Explanation of symbols]
