DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Some examples of the specific embodiments of the present invention described above will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0020]
FIG. 1 shows an example of a business card 1 according to the present invention. In other words, the name information 4 of the name card holder (name card creator), the company name, affiliation / title information, the company address, and the telephone number as character information on the surface of a predetermined size made of paper material as in a general business card Contains contact information such as fax numbers.
[0021]
In the case of the business card 1 of the present invention, along with such conventional general character information, related information useful for developing more detailed profile information and business transactions of the business card holder (business card creator) on the Internet. By using such a network, identification data 2 serving as an information providing key (key) to be obtained easily, quickly and reliably is displayed on the surface of the business card 1.
[0022]
Such identification data 2 serves as a key for accessing necessary information via a network such as the Internet, and is input to a personal computer terminal with a keyboard or other input device. It must be easy to do. Accordingly, a combination of appropriate characters, numbers, symbols, and the like can be adopted. However, since a reading device such as a simple barcode reader has become widespread, the barcode information 2a may be adopted as illustrated. Absent.
[0023]
The identification data 2 may be any data that can be read by a reading device provided in a computer or the like. Magnetic information that cannot be read by human eyes by appropriately coating the surface of the business card 1 of the present invention. It is possible to record such as, and it is also possible to use this.
[0024]
The identification data 2 to be displayed on the surface of the business card 1 of the present invention is collation for correctly obtaining more detailed information and other related information about the person who handed the business card 1 using a network such as the Internet. In addition to this function, the person who handed the business card 1 that has been accessed to obtain information is classified into the attributes of the person who handed the business card 1 You can make it communicate.
[0025]
That is, the person to whom the business card 1 is to be handed is classified according to a predetermined standard, and the data 3 relating to the classification is also displayed on the surface of the business card 1 together with the identification data 2 described above. If the system is constructed so as to allow the above access, the person who handed the business card 1 can easily know what attribute classification the person who has accessed is applied.
[0026]
The classification criteria for the attributes of the person to whom the business card 1 should be handed are, for example, (1) the first meeting partner, (2) a business partner, (3) an important trading partner, (4) the future Standards such as (5) a partner with a personal relationship may be adopted alone or in combination. However, the business card 1 for each classification should be organized or a classification discrimination symbol should be described so that the person handing the business card 1 clearly knows what classification standard the business card 1 is.
[0027]
Moreover, if such a classification data 3 is displayed as magnetic data and a simple portable device capable of writing the magnetic data is developed, the classification data 3 meets the person who should actually hand over the business card 1. It becomes possible to hand it over after writing. In this case, it may be possible to write data related to date and time and location together.
[0028]
Further, since the identification data 2 and the classification data 3 are conceptually separate, they may be displayed separately as shown in FIG. 1B, but both of them are detailed by the person who handed the business card 1 Since it is possible to request input when accessing the Internet using the Internet to obtain information, etc., both are displayed as a series or a mixture as shown in FIG. There is no inconvenience even if the identification data 2b is recognized.
[0029]
The information obtained by accessing the business card 1 by using the Internet or the like is more detailed information of the business card 1 creator (nominee) or information related to a specific business as described above. Yes, this information need not be fixed. In other words, the creator (name holder) of the business card 1 can make the information disclosed to the person who handed the business card 1 rewritable at any time using the Internet from his computer terminal. Related information can always be provided as the latest.
[0030]
In other words, in the case of a conventional business card, the address, affiliation, title, etc. of the person listed on the business card are those at the time the business card was created, and it was impossible to indicate various changes after that. When the business card holder 1 is used to provide details / related information of the business card holder, various changes after handing the business card 1 are easily made for the person who handed the business card 1 Can be shown. In addition, in the case where the department or title is more important than the information related to the name card holder, it is possible to continuously show information related to the successor of the name card holder.
[0031]
Of course, if the business card holder's department or title changes, but should continue to be in charge of business relations etc., provide appropriate details and related information of the business card holder according to the changed department and title. In the case of providing information using the business card 1 of the present invention, it can be maintained and maintained without damaging the human relations established previously by the personnel change or job transfer of the business card holder. It can be developed.
[0032]
Next, the information disclosure system 6 using the business card 1 using a network such as the Internet will be described.
Figure 2 shows the most basic configuration of the Yo I Do information disclosure system 6. That is, the business card holder who has been given the business card 1 by the business card holder accesses the home page 8 dedicated to the system of the present invention that is open to the management server 7 on the Internet.
[0033]
In this dedicated homepage 8, the business card holder inputs the identification data 2 displayed on the business card 1 surface in order to obtain more detailed information of the business card holder, and is a valid business card holder after verification processing. After receiving the confirmation, information on the business card holder is obtained. Access to the dedicated home page 8 can be easily processed by including data relating to the home page address in the identification data 2.
[0034]
This dedicated home page 8 may be personally managed and operated by a business card holder, but a specific operator or the like provides services by a dedicated server 7 that appropriately manages information on a large number of business card holders at once. It does n’t matter what you do. In addition, when a company or the like distributes the business card 1 of the present invention to its general employees and uses the information disclosure system 6, it may naturally be carried out using the company's home page.
[0035]
In any case, in the information disclosure system 6 of the present invention, since the name card holder should be able to revise the detailed information about himself to appropriate content at any time, other than the dedicated website 8 which is personally established and operated Even if detailed information etc. are provided by the user, it should be possible to update the contents appropriately after undergoing the necessary authentication procedures etc. from an appropriate computer terminal that can be used by the business card holder .
[0036]
In addition, as described above, the identification data 2 can be used as the identification data 2b in a broad sense by including the classification data 3 for the business card holder to be accessed. In this case, the business card holder side ( Business card holders who operate personal websites and companies that employ business card holders who collectively manage detailed information of multiple business card holders, etc.) can obtain classification data 3 about the business card holders who have actually accessed it can. The classification data 3 is selected and handed over according to various attributes of the partner when the business card holder hands over the business card 1 as described above, and the classification data 3 is renewed by accessing the business card holder. By obtaining the information, the name card holder can obtain information such as efficiency relating to the distribution of the name card, and the attribute of the person who has accessed can be determined, and corresponding processing can be performed accordingly.
[0037]
Further, when using the broad identification data 2b including such classification data 3, it is possible to provide the business card holder's detailed information provided to the accessed business card holder with a difference. It is. In other words, additional information related to the business card holder in a general sense is given through the verification process using the identification data 2 (in the narrow sense), and the broad sense in which the identification data 2 in the narrow sense and the classification data 3 are combined. In the case of using the identification data 2b, detailed data of various viewpoints and depths according to the type of the individual classification data 3 can be provided.
[0038]
For example, when accessed from a partner who has been given the classification data 3 with the attribute “I am the first meeting partner”, I will provide information on business services in general, along with general additional items about business card holders Information to be provided such as giving more specific and detailed business information when accessed by a partner who has been given classification data 3 with the attribute of “important trading partner”. Can be realized.
[0039]
Therefore, when the business card 1 is delivered, the appropriate classification data 3 is given, so that when the business card 1 is handed over, the information providing system 6 according to the present invention is used to respond to the attribute contents of the classification data 3. The appropriate response will be automatically taken.
[0040]
In addition, the details and related information of the business card holder provided need not be fixed according to the attribute contents of the original classification data 3, even if the party was initially classified as "first meeting partner" As credits and the like accumulate as the business relationship is formed, information based on the attribute content of “important trading partner” may be provided. However, if it is not possible to clearly identify each business card 1 by serial number data or the like, the identification and collation of the accessor is made personal by giving separate identification data or a password keyword from the viewpoint of safety. It will be necessary.
[0041]
In FIG. 3, a plurality of business card holders 9 (a, b, c) hand each business card 1 to a business card holder 10 (d, e, f), and each business card holder 10 accesses the dedicated server 7 It is a drawing conceptually explaining the case of obtaining detailed / related information about the business card holder 9.
[0042]
That is, each business card holder 10 (d, e, f) is collated using the identification data 2 (2a) of each business card holder 9 (a, b, c) described in the business card 1 possessed by each business card holder 10 (d, e, f). Is performed by the dedicated server 6 and the detailed / related information 11 of each business card holder 9 (a, b, c) is accessed and obtained.
[0043]
Details / related information 11 on the business card holder 9 is stored as being capable of being collectively managed by the dedicated server 7, but as described above, timely and appropriate rewriting from each business card holder 9 side. It is possible to change the specific disclosure contents according to the attribute contents of the classification data 3 included in the broader identification data 2b. In addition, as described above, the business card holder 9 can obtain information on the classification data 3 and take appropriate use and response by receiving access from the business card holder 10.
[0044]
It is clear that meaningful information exchange between the business card holder 10 and the business card holder 9 can be realized using a network 12 such as the Internet. Each business card holder 10 (d, e, f) Each of the business card holders 9 (a, b, c) can also access the dedicated server 7 with his / her own computer terminal to obtain the detailed / related information 11, and each computer card individual 9 (a, b, c) is assumed to be an individual computer terminal. The user's own details / related information 11 can be rewritten by using.
[0045]
Furthermore, as long as the network 12 such as the Internet is used, it is possible to use the e-mail function, the link function, etc. at the same time. It is also possible for the business person 10 and the business card holder 9 side to advance specific business negotiations such as product ordering.
[0046]
(Application examples)
Although the case where the identification / classification data 2 and 3 are displayed for the business card has been described above, it should be understood that the business card may be widely applied to other than the business card.
That is, it is apparent that the system of the present invention can be used for various stationery items such as direct mail, envelopes, and letter pads, present packages, and package packages.
[0047]
In other words, each of the above items has a “sender” and a “recipient”, and the “sender” side identifies detailed information about itself (sender) via the Internet. It would be advantageous if a specific “recipient” side would have knowledge through data verification, and it would be convenient if the “recipient” side could easily obtain such information. In addition, if the “sender” side obtains response information on the “recipient” side who has accessed the detailed information using the classification data on the specific “recipient” side, it should be used meaningfully for business customer management, etc. Can do.
[0048]
In short, the basic idea of the present invention is common to all media articles that use mainly paper, which require the existence of specific “sender” and “receiver” descriptions, not just business cards. It can be easily understood that the system can be used, and in that case, a two-dimensional barcode or the like can be used as a display means for the identification / classification data 2 and 3.
[0049]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention as described above, identification data and appropriate classification data are displayed on the surface of a business card that has existed before, and this is used as a key for a verification procedure, so that it can be conveyed by a conventional business card. Providing detailed information and related information of the business card holder who could not be provided to the business card holder who accesses it appropriately using a computer terminal that can be connected to a network such as the Internet, and the attribute contents of the person who was handed the business card It is possible to communicate information such as business card holders and use it for business transaction progress, etc. In addition, it is possible to constantly update the information provided to the latest and appropriate content, etc. It is an invention that is useful for activating the business transactions that have occurred and is industrially highly valuable.
