Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to data of an address conversion table of an information transmission system for transmitting information between arbitrary information processing apparatuses based on unique address information allocated to information processing apparatuses connected to a network. Rewriting method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, the homepage of the Internet is:
The information stored in a predetermined information processing device is expressed by a unique address such as a URL, the information is obtained from the predetermined information communication device by the URL, an e-mail address is allocated to a user, and the e-mail address is assigned. With this, mail can be sent and received between arbitrary users.

[0003] When a company or the like sets a homepage for explaining its products on a WWW server as an information processing apparatus, the URL of the homepage is disclosed to the customer, and the customer downloads the URL to the browser software of his / her personal computer. U
The user inputs an RL to access desired information. In addition, a mail address is printed on a business card or the like so that business negotiations with customers by e-mail can be made.

[0004]

However, the conventional UR
Since the notation of L and e-mail address is complicated and tends to be long, the URL and e-mail address of the homepage that the store introduces its products can be printed on printed materials such as flyers, displayed on signboards, etc. There is a problem that it is hard to understand and not easily remembered when notifying by broadcasting or the like, and it is easy for a consumer to make mistakes when inputting with a keyboard.

On the other hand, for a merchant, the company telephone number is
This is very important information for communication between the consumer and the store, and for a store, this information is to be actively transmitted to the consumer through printed matter, signboards, and the like.

[0006] Therefore, telephone numbers are positively presented to consumers on printed papers and signboards overflowing with towns, and telephone numbers of shops that provide consumers with products of interest are clearly displayed. Wants.

[0007] Therefore, if a merchant can be accessed by inputting his or her own Internet homepage or e-mail address with a telephone number, there is no need to notify the consumer of a complicated Internet homepage address.

[0008] To this end, by associating the address of the home page of the merchant with an address that can be accessed by an address including the telephone number of the merchant, specifically, by linking, the consumer can Even without knowing the merchant's complicated homepage address, the merchant's homepage can be accessed based on the telephone number. Already, on the Internet, it is common to assign an arbitrary number to the homepage address and announce the number in a magazine or the like, and on the homepage, simply enter the number and link to the corresponding homepage. It can be easily realized simply by specifying the telephone number.

[0009]

However, for example, the address of the homepage or e-mail of merchant A may be changed by another malicious party B other than the merchant A so as to cause disadvantage to merchant A. There is a problem if you can register to your homepage address or another person's e-mail address.
Therefore, it is necessary to confirm that the person who registers the telephone number of merchant A is indeed the owner of telephone number A. For that purpose, a new personal identification service such as a digital ID is used. And other procedures for confirmation are required, and the conventional link information registration method has not been able to perform it efficiently.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method of rewriting data in an address translation table, which can prevent a malicious third party from illegally rewriting the address translation table with respect to another person's telephone number.

[0011]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a method for rewriting data in an address conversion table according to the present invention makes it possible to access information stored in an information processing device connected to a network based on address information. A data rewriting method of an address conversion table for rewriting data of an address conversion table used in a simple information transmission system, in which an address conversion table to be rewritten is unambiguous from identification information pre-assigned to an identification target or from the identification information. In the data rewriting method of the address conversion table, the correspondence information between the alternative identification information that is sequentially derived and the address information related to the identification target to be set based on the request of the identification target is stored. The identification target is determined based on the identification information. Key information corresponding to the identification information transmitted by the key information transmission means capable of transmitting information exclusively to the other party; the identification information or alternative identification information uniquely derived from the identification information; And a step 2 of inputting address information related to the address conversion table, and a step 2 of rewriting the contents of the address conversion table after authenticating the validity of the key information.

[0012]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a system that implements an address translation table rewriting method according to the present invention. In particular, an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to rewriting an address translation table for translating to a homepage address. In the figure, a telephone network 1 is a telephone network 1 to which a plurality of telephone terminals 3 managed by a plurality of telephone subscribers 2 are connected. For example, the telephone number 4 is “0569-1” by the telephone number 4 which is the identification information uniquely assigned to the telephone number 2.
From the telephone terminal of the subscriber A "2-3456", the address translation center can make a call to the voice response unit 8 which is the telephone terminal of the telephone number "03-1234-3456", which is the subscriber. The conversion center uses the caller's telephone number detection device 5 to confirm whether the telephone call is actually from the subscriber A, and then receives the call by the voice response device 8 so that both telephone terminals can receive the call. 2. An exclusive information transmission circuit (X) is formed between machines.
, Corresponds to “a key information transmitting unit that is capable of transmitting information exclusively to a predetermined communication partner based on the identification information.”

The telephone line of the address conversion center for implementing the method of rewriting the address conversion table of the present invention is connected to the line input terminal 5 of the caller telephone number detecting device 5.
a. This caller telephone number detecting device 5
Has a "caller telephone number output function" corresponding to the "caller telephone number notification function" provided in the telephone network 1, detects the telephone number of the caller in response to a call, and It can be output to the serial communication I / F 7 of the personal computer 6.

A subscriber line is output through a line output terminal 5b of the caller telephone number detecting device 5 and is connected to a line input terminal 8a of a voice response device 8 which is a telephone terminal. The voice response device 8 is mounted on an expansion slot (not shown) of the personal computer 6 and is controlled by a program of the personal computer 6.

The voice response device 8 receives a call arriving at the line input terminal 8a, forms an information communication circuit with the telephone terminal on the transmitting side, and outputs a predetermined voice set from the personal computer 6 to the transmitting side. This device has a function of detecting a DTF signal input by a caller and inputting predetermined information.

The personal computer 6 has the so-called WWW server function based on the http protocol, which is connected to the caller telephone number detecting device 5 and the voice response device 8 and connected to the Internet 11 by the network connecting device 9. A network server, which includes an HDD included in the personal computer 6, a CPU (not shown), a ROM, a RAM,
The I / O ports and other peripheral circuits are connected by a control bus, and these functions are realized by executing programs for realizing the respective functions on a normal personal computer 6 operating with a predetermined program. It has become.

The sender's telephone number detecting device 5, the voice response device 8, the network connection device 9 for connecting to the Internet 11, and the WWW server function based on the http protocol are well-known technologies, and therefore are described in detail. Is omitted.

In the HDD of the personal computer 6, home page data (URL is http: //www.Addres.
It is s.co.jp/Index.html. FIG. 3 shows a display displayed on the browser software of the user based on the homepage data. 4) and an address conversion information storage area, which is the address conversion table shown in FIG. 4, and is referred to or updated by the operation of a control program or a WWW server program described later.

In the figure, Data is TelNo, WebNo, URL, Key,
Stat is an information unit composed of five fields, and the address translation information includes a plurality of Data, TelNo or W
It is configured to be indexable by ebNo.
Specifically, TelNo is a storage area for storing the telephone number 4 assigned to the telephone subscriber 2, and generally gives unique identification information to the telephone subscriber 2 worldwide, and WebNo is , The alternative identification information 4a uniquely derived from the telephone numbers 4. This alternative identification information 4a is
For example, take a telephone number as a number and
Considering a compatible numeral space including a numeral corresponding to a telephone number 4, a numeral in a compatible numeral space corresponding to a predetermined telephone number 4 may be adopted as the alternative identification information 4a. Alternatively, a telephone number that has been issued a unique number in accordance with a predetermined procedure may be employed. In any case, it is desirable that all TelNo candidates and WebNo candidates do not overlap so that a Data record can be correctly specified in S41 described later.

In this case, the method of handling the compatible numeral space,
Unless the procedure for issuing a unique number issued to a telephone number is easily known, it is generally difficult to guess the identification information from alternative identification information. Even if the number 4 is adopted as the identification information, the alternative identification information 4a uniquely obtained from the identification information 4 can be disclosed and used for address conversion.

The URL is the address of a homepage that the telephone subscriber 2 manages and operates at an arbitrary place on the Internet for introducing its products and publicizing services. By inputting the URL into so-called browser software that operates based on the protocol, the information on the homepage is displayed on the browser software of general users. This address is generally a completely different system from the telephone number 4, and is an address assigned to any individual or organization.

Key is an area where key information 10 is recorded in the course of operation of a program described later. Also, St
“at” is a storage area for storing information indicating whether the information of the current Data is valid or being set and not yet valid.

A plurality of server personal computers (hereinafter simply referred to as servers) each having a WWW server capable of providing information allocated to different addresses having the above-described WWW server function are connected to the Internet 11. When actually displaying a home page associated with a telephone number 4 or a predetermined number which is alternative identification information 4a uniquely obtained from the telephone number 4 using the data rewriting method of the address conversion table of the present invention. Is managed by such multiple servers WWW server,
Only when a homepage address assigned in a completely different system from the telephone number 4 is provided, the information on the homepage can be displayed.

Next, a method of rewriting the address conversion table of the present invention and a method of transmitting key information in this method will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining a method of transmitting key information to be input in the method of rewriting the address conversion table according to the present invention. First, step
In S1 (hereinafter simply referred to as S1), the personal computer 6 is started and performs a predetermined initialization operation, and the caller's telephone number detection device 5, the voice response device 8, the network connection device 9 for connecting to the Internet 11, The WWW server function based on the http protocol is initialized.

In S2, the state of the voice response device 8 is checked to determine whether there is a call from the telephone network 1. If there is no call, the process returns to S2. Skip to.

In S3, since the telephone number 4 of the caller for the current call is output from the caller telephone number detecting device 5, it is input, and the program proceeds to S4.

In S4, a new Data record for the telephone number 4 input in S3 is searched, and if not present, a record in which the telephone number 4 input in S3 is newly set to TelNo is generated.

Subsequently, “0” which is a value indicating “being set” is set to Stat of the Data record. Leave the URL and Key fields as they are. Here, instead of performing the address conversion based on the information including the telephone number 4, the alternative identification information 4a uniquely derived from the telephone number 4 is used.
If the user wants to perform this, before or after this step, the user inputs information about the alternative identification information 4a from the user and records it in the WebNo, or inputs a unique 4-digit number that has not been issued until now. It may be issued on the conversion center side.

In S5, key information 10 based on the random number is generated by random number generation means (not shown) and recorded in Key. The key information 10 is desirably about four digits so that the user can easily remember the key information.

In step S6, the voice response device 5 is controlled to receive a call, and in step S5 the key is generated and
The information including the key information 10 stored in is transmitted to the caller by voice.

Specifically, TelNo is "0569-12-3456"
If the key is “4365”, the voice response device 5
The following text information is output and the corresponding voice information is transmitted to the caller via the telephone line. "The password of the customer of the telephone number 0569-12-3456 is 4365." After the transmission, the call is disconnected, and the process returns to S2. At this time, when the number “2233” is registered as the alternative identification information 4a, “Phone number 0569-12-3456, alternative identification information 2
The password for the 233 customer is 4365. And so on.

Next, the operation of the WWW server using the address rewriting table data rewriting method of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, in S20, the WWW initialized in S1
The server function starts, and in subsequent S21, it is determined whether there is a request output from a user accessing the WWW server via the Internet 11.

Specifically, the following types of requests may be output to the WWW server. (A) Homepage data browsing request (B) Command execution request

More specifically, the server of the embodiment is an Ad server
www.Address.co.jp on the domain dress.co.jp
If the WWW server is
By setting using the function of the W server, the following requests become the above two types of requests, respectively.

Rule 1. For the next URL, the corresponding home page is returned. http://www.Address.co.jp/Index.html

Rule 2. For the following URL, execute the address setting command, Reserve.exe, based on various parameters included in the request based on the "POP" method. http://www.Address.co.jp/Reserve.exe

Rule 3. For URLs other than the above, execute the address conversion command, Change.exe, where <code> is a parameter named Code. http://www.Address.co.jp/ <Code>

If there is no request in S21, S2 is performed again.
Go to 1 and loop. S22 if requested
Break.

In S22, it is checked whether the request is a request for browsing homepage data.
Proceed to 23. If not, the process proceeds to S24.

In S24, it is checked whether the request is a command execution request. If so, the process proceeds to S25, and if not, the process returns to S21.

In S23, the information corresponding to the URL included in the request is read out from the predetermined storage means, transmitted to the browser software of the user who sent the request via the network, and transmitted to the browser software of the user. The information is displayed on the screen according to the protocol.

In S25, the command parameters included in the request are extracted. Then, in S26, it is determined whether the command is “Reserve.exe”.
Proceed to S7, otherwise proceed to S28. In S27,
After the subroutine "Reserve" is called, the process returns to S21.

In S28, it is determined whether the command is "Change.exe", and in that case, the process proceeds to S29, and if not, the process returns to S21. In S29, the subroutine "Chang
After "e" is called, the process returns to S21.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining the processing of the subroutine "Reserve".

In S30, the following parameters included in the request are extracted. TelNo: Indicates a telephone number as identification information. URL: Indicates the URL of the homepage to be registered. Password: Indicates key information for registration.

Subsequently, in S31, a Data record corresponding to the extracted TelNo is searched.
Proceed to 2 and select "Error. From the phone registered in advance *
Call ** to get the key information. Is output to the user's browser, and the subroutine process is terminated. If there is, the process proceeds to S33.

In S33, the Key of the searched Data record
And the Password extracted in S30 are compared, and if they do not match, the registration is determined to be impossible and the process proceeds to S34, "Error. Call from the phone registered in advance to *** and correctly input the key information obtained. Please output the result to the user's browser, and then terminate the subroutine process. If they match, the process proceeds to S35.

In S35, the URL of the searched Data record
Is set to the URL extracted in S30, and “1” which is a value indicating “setting completed” is set to the Stat of the Data record.

In S36, a result indicating "registration is completed" is output to the user's browser, and then the subroutine processing is terminated.

FIG. 8 is a flow chart for explaining the processing of the subroutine "Change".

In S40, the following parameters included in the request are extracted. Code: Indicates identification information or alternative identification information related to the homepage to be viewed.

Subsequently, in S41, a Data record matching TelNo or WebNo corresponding to the extracted Code is searched, and if there is no such record, the process proceeds to S42, and "Error. The user of the designated number registers the homepage. Is output to the user's browser, and then the subroutine processing is terminated. If there is, the process proceeds to S43.

In S43, the URL of the searched Data record
Is read, and information for causing the user's browser to perform a so-called “redirect operation” for browsing the page anew is output to the user's browser, and then the subroutine processing is terminated. In some cases, "redirect operation" based on the converted URL
Other operations may be performed.

As described above, when the user's browser receives information that causes a “redirect operation” such as automatically browsing the information indicated by the URL set in advance in the Data record, the user Operates to newly display a predetermined URL, and as a result, the contents of the homepage related to the person who owns the telephone number 4 are displayed.

Next, a description will be given of the operation of the above-mentioned device suitable for carrying out the method for rewriting the address conversion table data of the present invention.

As a premise of the explanation, the merchant A sets “0569-1
Suppose that a telephone line with a telephone number of "2-3456" is used by contracting with a telephone company, and a homepage consisting of the following URL is operated on server A. http://www.serverA.co.jp/Index.html

Further, a malicious merchant B having an interest in the merchant A contracts and uses a telephone line having a telephone number “0569-12-9876” with a telephone company. Operates a homepage consisting of the following URLs. The homepage stores information on contents that are similar to the homepage of merchant A, but are disadvantageous to merchant A, such as the unit price and description of the product. It is assumed that the homepage of merchant A is to be replaced with the "false" page. http://www.serverB.co.jp/Index.html

An "address conversion center" for implementing the method of rewriting data in the address conversion table of the present invention.
Uses a telephone line with a telephone number of `` 03-1234-5678 '', and on the Internet, www.Address.
It is assumed that the method of the present invention is implemented by operating a WWW server called co.jp, such as an address registration center and an address conversion function.

First, the merchant A calls the address translation center from the telephone having the telephone number "0569-12-3456". At this time, due to the function of the telephone line network, the telephone having the above-mentioned telephone number is assigned only to the telephone connected to the telephone line that can be exclusively managed by the merchant A, but the merchant A has the telephone line contracted by himself. Since there is no phone number, there is no problem in making a call from that phone.

Then, a call is generated on the telephone line of the address translation center, this is detected in S2, the process proceeds to S3, and S3 is executed.
Then, "0569-12-3456", which is the telephone number of the caller, is output by the caller telephone number detecting device 5, and a data record for that telephone number is searched in subsequent S4. A new record with the telephone number set in TelNo is generated. Further, “0” is set to Stat of the record.

Subsequently, in S5, as the key information 10, for example, a four-digit number "4356" is randomly generated, and
And a unique four-digit number that has not been issued so far is issued as alternative identification information and stored in the WebNo ("2233" in the embodiment), and the key information 10 and the alternative identification are assigned in S6. The voice including the information is output as follows, and is output as voice from the receiver of the merchant A. The key information 10 may be generated by other methods, and it is needless to say that the key information 10 has no meaning unless it is information that cannot be easily imagined. "Phone number 0569-12-3456, alternative identification information 2
The password for the 233 customer is 4365. Merchant A makes a note of the password and alternative identification information on paper for later use of the information.

The above procedure corresponds to “Step 1” of the present invention.

Next, the merchant A connects the browser software to the Internet 11 using a predetermined Internet service provider, or uses a service of an appropriate Internet cafe to open the “address conversion center” indicated by the following URL. To display the registration service page of "." http://www.Address.co.jp/Ind
ex.html

Then, the browser converts the input URL into a URL which is operated on the personal computer of the address conversion center.
/ Index. provided by WWW server called s.co.jp.
It is determined that the information "html" is to be displayed, and the WWW of the personal computer of the address conversion center via the Internet 11
The request is transmitted to the server.

Then, a request is detected in S21, it is determined in S22 that the request is for home page data, and in S23, the home page data shown in FIG. 2 is returned to the browser, and the information shown in FIG. Will be displayed.

Next, the merchant sets each of the input items displayed on the display screen of the browser as follows, and clicks the “register” button. Phone number: 0569-12-3456 URL: http://www.serverA.co.jp/Index.html Password: 4365

Then, the request incorporating the above parameters is similarly transmitted to the WWW server of the personal computer at the address translation center, and S21, S22, S24, S24
In step S25, the command parameters are extracted from the request. In step S26, it is determined that the command is "Reserve.exe", and the subroutine "Reserve" is called in step S27.

In S30 of the subroutine "Reserve", parameters included in the request are extracted, and in S31, T
Data record for elNo = 0569-12-3456 is searched.

Here, since the registration has already been made by the merchant A, the processing proceeds to S33, where the Key = 4365 of the retrieved Data record matches the contents of the Password extracted from the request (“4365”). Is confirmed, and since they match, the process proceeds to S35.

Next, in S35, the URL of the searched Data record is added to the URL extracted in S30 (http: //www.server).
A / Index.html) is set.

Next, the operation of S36 causes the browser used by merchant A to display a message saying "registration completed."

In the above procedure, the subroutine "Reserv
The processing performed in “e” is “step 2” in claim 1
Is equivalent to

Next, the merchant A displays that his or her telephone number, such as a business card, a flyer advertisement, or a signboard, can be converted to a homepage. Along with the telephone number of the merchant A, the alternative identification information may be displayed so as to be accessible.
In particular, when there is no intention to notify the telephone number, only the alternative identification information may be notified.

Then, the consumer who sees the flyer or signboard connects his / her personal computer to the Internet 11 and inputs the following URL to display the page. http://www.Address.co.jp/0569-12-3456 or http://www.Address.co.jp/2233

Then, the request incorporating the above address is transmitted to the WWW server of the personal computer at the address conversion center, and proceeds to S21, S22, S24, S25, where the command parameters are extracted from the request at S25, and at S28. It is determined that the command is "Change.exe", and the subroutine "Change" is called in S29.

In S40 of the subroutine "Change", "0569-12-3456" or "2233" included in the request
Are extracted, and the corresponding Data record is searched in S41.

Here, since the above-mentioned telephone number has already been registered by the merchant A, the process proceeds to S43, and information for a redirect operation for newly browsing the contents of the URL of the searched record is stored in the browser of the consumer. As a result, the consumer's browser operates to display the homepage operated by merchant A.

In the above procedure, particularly the subroutine "Change"
The processing performed in step (1) corresponds to “step 3” in claim 1.

Thus, no matter how complicated the URL of merchant A's homepage is and it is troublesome to input from the keyboard, the telephone number displayed on the flyer or the signboard and the address conversion function are all large. Only by combining the addresses of the same address conversion center, the address is correctly converted and the home page of the predetermined merchant A is displayed.

Now, in such a method of rewriting the data in the address conversion table, the malicious merchant B disadvantageously gives the merchant A a home page corresponding to the telephone number of the merchant A by describing the false content. If you try to register on the homepage to create

First, the merchant B reads “0569-12-987
A call is made to the address conversion center from the telephone number 6 ".

Then, a call is generated on the telephone line of the address translation center, this is detected in S2, the process proceeds to S3, and S3 is executed.
Then, "0569-12-9876", which is the telephone number of the caller, is output by the caller telephone number detecting device 5, and a data record for that telephone number is searched in the subsequent S4. A new record with the telephone number set in TelNo is generated. Further, “0” is set to Stat of the record.

Subsequently, in S5, as the key information 10, for example, a four-digit number such as "4768" is randomly generated.
And a unique four-digit number that has not been issued so far is issued as alternative identification information and stored in the WebNo (“4455” in the embodiment), and the key information 10 is included in S6. The voice is output as follows, and is output as voice from the receiver of the merchant B. "Your password for phone number 0569-12-9876 and alternative identification information 4455 is 4768." Merchant B makes a note of the password and the alternative identification information.

Next, the merchant B connects the browser software to the Internet 11 by using a predetermined Internet service provider, and displays the registration service page of the “address conversion center” like the merchant A so as to display the registration service page. Operate. Then, like Merchant A,
The information shown in FIG. 3 is displayed on the browser.

Next, merchant B pretends to be merchant A and tries to register the URL of his or her own malicious homepage in the telephone number of merchant A by setting each of the input items as follows and clicking “Register”. Click the "Yes" button. Phone number: 0569-12-3456 URL: http: //www.serverB/Index.html Password: 4768

Then, the request incorporating the above parameters is similarly transmitted to the WWW server of the personal computer at the address translation center, and the command “Rese
rve.exe "and the subroutine" Re
serve "is called.

In S30 of the subroutine "Reserve", parameters included in the request are extracted, and in S31, T
Data record for elNo = 0569-12-3456 is searched.

Here, since the registration has already been made by the merchant A, the processing proceeds to S33, where the Key = 4356 of the retrieved Data record matches the contents of the Password extracted from the request (“4768”). Is confirmed, but does not match, so the process proceeds to S34, and the following content is displayed on the browser. "This is an error. Please call 03-1234-5678
Enter the key information obtained by calling. "

That is, even if the malicious merchant B attempts to register the URL without permission to the telephone number of the merchant A, he must call the address conversion center from the telephone of the merchant A and obtain the key information. Merchant B because the operation is not performed correctly
Endeavors end unsuccessfully.

If the URL of the malicious homepage is set to the telephone number of merchant B whose password is valid on the registration screen, the registration succeeds but the registered contents of merchant A cannot be changed. Party B's attempt still fails.

As described above, according to the data rewriting method of the address conversion table of the present invention, the telephone number of the caller is confirmed using the telephone line that can exclusively transmit information based on the identification information. After the step 1 of transmitting the key information 10 valid at the time of registration to the telephone number is performed, in step 2, the telephone number 4 as identification information and the key information 10 valid for the telephone number 4 And, the URL of the Data record which is the address conversion information storage means is set by inputting the address information to be registered, so that a third party who cannot use a telephone line that can exclusively transmit information based on the identification information, It is not possible to set the URL information to be associated with the identification number, so that there is an effect that high security can be realized, and the object of the present invention is achieved.

In the above description, in step S5, the key information is generated by the address conversion center side as a random number and transmitted to the sender. Instead, the following procedure of S5 ', that is, a voice response to the sender is performed. Guidance is given on device 8, "Please enter the customer's password of telephone number 0569-12-3456, alternative identification information 2233 by push dial with 4 digits." In response, the caller presses the dial button. By pressing and inputting a dial tone, the password which is the key information 10 generated by the caller side is input via the voice response device 8 and changed to be set as the Key of the Data record. A similar effect can be realized.

If the telephone number detected by the caller telephone number detecting device is different from the telephone number to be registered in the address conversion table, as in the case of a toll-free number (registered trademark of Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation), the process proceeds to S2. Instead of S3,
In the next steps S2 'and S3', that is, in S2 ', the telephone subscriber notifies the address registration center of the toll-free telephone number to be registered by an appropriate information communication means.
At 3 ', the address registration center may make a call to a designated toll-free telephone number. Then, since an information communication means capable of exclusively transmitting information is formed based on the telephone number (in this case, a free dial) as identification information, a similar effect can be achieved for the problem of the present invention. .

Similarly, the telephone subscriber's address data corresponding to the telephone number is read from the correspondence database between the telephone number owned by the telephone company and the telephone subscriber's address data,
If a letter with the key information is printed to the telephone subscriber at the address, the information can be exclusively transmitted to the telephone subscriber. Then, an information communication means (which is a letter) capable of exclusively transmitting information based on the telephone number which is the identification information is formed, and the key information can be transmitted through the information communication means. Similar effects can be achieved.

In the above embodiment, the address conversion table outputs the URL indicating the address of the home page. However, the address conversion table is adapted to output the e-mail address used by the identification target. It may be.

That is, the merchant A has a business card, a flyer advertisement,
Indicates that the company's phone number, such as a sign, can be converted to an email address. Along with the telephone number of the merchant A, the alternative identification information may be displayed so as to be accessible. If you don't want to give your phone number,
Only the alternative identification information may be notified.

Then, the consumer who sees the flyer or the signboard connects his or her personal computer to the Internet 11 and inputs the following e-mail address to the e-mail software to send out the e-mail. 0569-12-3456@Address.co.jp or 2233@Address.co.jp

Then, an e-mail is sent to the above e-mail address, and “0569-12-3456” or “2233” is sent to an e-mail server (not shown) of the address conversion center.
Is transmitted to the user. If the address translation center's email server continues to search for the Data record corresponding to this user's number, read the corresponding email address, and then forward the email to that address, good. The details of these e-mail transfer protocols are omitted because they are already a common technology on the Internet. However, this operation allows you to easily specify an e-mail address using a telephone number or alternative identification number, and also provides information on the correspondence. It is needless to say that the task of not being modified by others by unauthorized means is achieved.

As described above, the method for rewriting the data in the address conversion table according to the present invention comprises the following steps:
, A key information transmission that can exclusively transmit information to a telephone number that is an identification information that can be exclusively used by a subscriber to be identified in a telephone line network provided by a telecommunications carrier with a party based on the telephone number The key information corresponding to the telephone number transmitted by the telephone line formed by confirming the caller number as the means or the letter issued based on the address of the caller, and the telephone number as the identification information or the telephone number As a result, the alternative identification information derived as a unique correspondence and the Internet URL information or e-mail address, which is the address information of the information related to the identification target that the contractor who is the identification target wants to register, is used. After the input, in the following step 2, the validity of the key information is authenticated, and then the contents of the address conversion table are rewritten. Therefore, a malicious third party who is not the object to be identified may know the key information transmitted through the key information transmitting means that exclusively transmits information based on the identification information assigned to the object to be identified. Since there is no such effect, there is an excellent effect that it is possible to prevent such a third party from illegally rewriting data in the address conversion table by the operation of step 2.
