Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the invention will be described.

(First Embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an overall configuration of a business card management system according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the business card management system is configured by connecting a user terminal 100 (client terminal) and a business card information management server 200 via a network 300. The business card information management server 200 character-recognizes the image of the business card image input from the user terminal 100, and the information described on the business card such as name, company name, affiliation, contact information, company location, etc. (hereinafter,
Business card information) is registered as a keyword.

The user terminal 100 is, for example, a smartphone, a tablet, a PC, or the like, and the input / output unit 10
1. A control unit 102 and a display unit 103 are provided. The input / output unit 101 acquires a business card image and sends / receives business card information to / from the business card information management server 200. The display unit 103 is an input / output unit 10.
The business card information received from the business card information management server 200 in 1 is displayed. The control unit 102 controls to display the business card search result requested to be transmitted to the business card information management server 200 via the input / output unit 101 on the display unit 103.

The business card information management server 200 includes an input unit 210, a business card information processing unit 220, and a storage unit 230.
, A business card information retrieval unit 240, and an output unit 250 are provided.

The input unit 210 receives the business card image and the search request input by the user terminal 100 and passes them to the business card information processing unit 220 or the business card information search unit 240. The business card information processing unit 220 has a character recognition unit 221, a keyword extraction unit 222, and a keyword importance assignment unit 223. The character recognition unit 221 performs character recognition of the business card image. The keyword extraction unit 222 extracts a keyword from a character string which is a character recognition result of the character recognition unit 221. The keyword importance assigning unit 223 adds importance to the keywords extracted by the keyword extraction unit 222.

The storage unit 230 includes an importance dictionary 231 and a business card image storage unit 232, and a business card DB (database).
233, keyword DB (database) 234, user information storage unit 235 are included. A word and the importance of the word are registered in the importance dictionary 231, and the keyword importance assigning unit 223 refers to the keyword when assigning the importance to the keyword. The business card image storage unit 232 stores the business card image transmitted from the user terminal 100 and the business card ID given as the business card identification information. The business card DB 233 stores the business card ID, the shooting time of the business card image, and the business card information. In the keyword DB 234, the keyword extracted by the keyword extraction unit 222, the keyword ID given as the keyword identification information, the business card ID of the business card from which the keyword is extracted, the shooting time of the business card image, and the keyword importance assignment unit The importance given in 223 and the like are stored. The user information storage unit 235 is assigned to identify the user's individual.
User information such as ID is registered.

The business card information search unit 240 has a keyword search unit 241 and a keyword weighting unit 242. The keyword search unit 241 searches for keywords stored in the keyword DB 234 in response to a business card search request from the user terminal 100. The keyword weighting unit 242 weights the keywords searched by the keyword search unit 241.

The output unit 250 outputs the keyword, the shooting time of the business card image including the keyword, and the weighting result in the keyword weighting unit 242 to the user terminal 100 as a result of the business card search request from the user terminal 100. The input / output unit 101 of the user terminal 100 receives the information and displays it on the display unit 103 via the control unit 102.

Next, the business card registration flow of the business card management system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a business card registration flow of the business card management system according to the first embodiment.

First, the user terminal 100 acquires a business card image via a camera or the like installed in the user terminal, and transmits the business card image to the business card information management server 200 via the input / output unit 101. (S1). At this time, the acquired business card image is transmitted together with the shooting time of the business card image and the user identification information. The user identification information corresponds to a personal ID used when the user logs in to the system on the user terminal 100.

Next, the business card image transmitted from the user terminal 100 is character-recognized by the character recognition unit 221 of the business card information processing unit 220 via the input unit 201 of the business card information management server 200 (S).
2). Specifically, the character recognition unit 221 performs layout analysis of the input business card image, recognizes the obtained character image, and converts it into a character string. Subsequently, the keyword extraction unit 222 morphologically analyzes the character string recognized by the character recognition unit 221 and extracts the business card information as a keyword (S3). After that, the keyword importance assigning unit 223 refers to the importance registered in the importance dictionary 231 of the storage unit 230 in advance, and adds the importance to the keywords extracted by the keyword extraction unit 222 (S4). In the importance dictionary 231, for example, depending on the type of part of speech,
A scoring rule is registered, with the importance of common nouns being 10 points and the importance of proper nouns being 50 points. In addition, for nouns that appear together with corporations and limited companies, a rule is registered that adds 30 points to the score of the noun. Taking "XX Co., Ltd." as an example, "XX" is a proper noun with 50 points, but since it appears together with "Co., Ltd.", the importance of "XX Co., Ltd." is 30 out of 50 points.
Add the points to get 80 points. The importance of the keyword and the granting rule may be set by the user.

Subsequently, the business card image and the character-recognized business card information are registered in the business card DB 233 of the storage unit 230 (S5). The business card image is stored in the business card image storage unit 232 of the storage unit 230 together with the business card ID which is the business card identification information. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of registration of information registered in the business card DB 233. The business card DB 233 has columns for storing business card ID, information on the shooting time of the business card image (previous registration time, latest registration time, etc.), Rev., and business card information (name, company name, address, etc.). Here, the registration time refers to the shooting time of the business card image. This registration time does not have to be limited to the shooting time of the business card image. For example, the time when the user terminal 100 transmits the business card image, the time when the business card information management server 200 receives the business card image, the time when the business card information is stored in the business card DB233, the time when the keyword is stored in the keyword DB234, and the like are used. You may. When the same business card is registered multiple times, the registration time of the previous business card image is stored in the "previous registration time" column, and the registration time of the latest business card image is stored in the "latest registration time" column. In addition, the number of times the same business card is registered is stored in the "Rev." Column. The business card information is a keyword extracted by the keyword extraction unit 222, and is a name, company name, company address, contact information, affiliation, etc. described in the business card.

The first line of the record in FIG. 3 shows an example in which the business card image of Mr. Totaro is acquired by the user terminal 100. The user acquired the business card image at "April 22, 2016 12:10".
At that time, assuming that the business card ID "C001" for identifying the business card is assigned, "C001" is given in the "Business card ID" column of FIG. In the "Time" column, "
Register as "2016/4/22 12:10". Also, register business card information such as "XX Co., Ltd." in the "Company name" field and "Osaka" in the "Address" field. The item field for storing business card information may be freely set by the user. Further, in this example, the business card is the business card DB2.
It is assumed that it is the second time to be registered in 33, and the number of registrations is set as the revision number, "Rev.
"2" is registered in the "" column. In addition, the previous registration date and time "2016/2/517: 15"
Is registered in the "Last registration time" column. If the third registration is made, the number in the "Rev." Column indicating the number of registrations of business card information will be "3", and the "previous registration time" column will be added, etc. Keep a record. In this way, when the same business card is registered more than once, the registration time of each is recorded.

Next, the keywords extracted by the keyword extraction unit 222 are stored in the keyword DB2 of the storage unit 230.
Register with 34 (S6). FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of registration of information registered in the keyword DB 234. The keyword DB 234 includes a keyword ID assigned to identify the extracted keyword, a business card ID of a business card containing the keyword, a business card image registration time, an importance added by the keyword importance assigning unit 223, and business card registrant information. It has a column for storing (personal ID, etc.).

An example in which the keyword "XX Co., Ltd." is registered is shown in the first line of the record in FIG. The business card ID of the business card from which the keyword was extracted is "C001", and the registration time of the business card image is "2016 4".
It is assumed that the keyword ID "K001" is given to the keyword at 12:10 on the 22nd of the month.
In this example, "K001" in the "Keyword ID" column, "XX Co., Ltd." in the "Keyword" column, "C001" in the "Business card ID" column, and "2016/4/22 12: 1" in the "Registration time" column.
It is registered as "0". Further, the importance of the keyword given by the keyword importance assigning unit 223 is "80" in the "importance" column, and the personal ID of the business card image registrant is "P" in the "individual ID" column.
003 "is registered.

If the same keyword as the one registered previously is stored, another keyword ID is assigned and the keyword is stored in the keyword DB 234. An example in which the keyword “XX Co., Ltd.” is registered again is shown in the fourth line of the record in FIG. As described above, even if the keyword "XX Co., Ltd." is the same as the keyword ID "K001", a new keyword ID "K004" is given. Further, since this keyword is extracted from the business card of the business card ID "C003" and the personal ID which is the business card image registrant information is "P003", the keyword ID "K001""
It can be seen that the keywords are extracted from the business card images registered by users different from the users who registered the business card images including "XX Co., Ltd.".

Subsequently, the business card search flow of the business card management system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a business card search flow of the business card management system according to the first embodiment.

The input / output unit 101 of the user terminal 100 transmits a business card search request to the input unit 210 of the business card information management server 200 based on the terminal operation of the user (S7). This business card search request includes a search display period. The search display period is time information indicating a search range for the registration time of the business card image, and is also used as a period for displaying as a time axis on the display unit 103 of the user terminal 100.

Subsequently, the keyword search unit 241 of the business card information search unit 240 uses the business card information management server 2
Based on the business card search request input from the input unit 210 of 00 to the business card information search unit 240, a keyword whose registration time of the business card image is included in the search display period is selected from the keyword DB 234. Then, the keyword weighting unit 242 weights the keywords to be displayed on the user terminal 100 (S8). Here, an example of the weighting result of the keyword selected from the keyword DB 234 is shown in FIG. In FIG. 6, the weight value is calculated by multiplying the importance registered in the keyword DB 234 and the number of each keyword whose registration time is included in the search display period (hereinafter referred to as the number of times the keyword is registered). do. For example, consider the case where the keyword "XX Co., Ltd." in FIG. 6 is taken as an example. The importance registered in the keyword DB234 is 80. In addition, when the registration time of the business card image including the keyword is within the search display period, for example, all the keywords registered between March 2016 and June 2016 are extracted, and if the same keyword exists more than once, the registration is performed. Count the number of times. FIG. 6 shows that it is registered 11 times during the display period. That is, the weight value of the keyword "XX Co., Ltd." is 880 by multiplying the importance level 80 and the number of appearances 11. Next, a predetermined number of keywords are determined from the weighting result of the keyword weighting unit 242. In this example, the top three keywords with large weight values (XX Co., Ltd. 880, Osaka 200, Sales 150) are determined. At this time, the number of keywords to be determined does not matter. By calculating the weight value in this way, an important keyword is determined from the keywords extracted from the keyword DB 234. The keyword weighting method may be set by the user. In addition, the keyword weighting unit 209 and the keyword importance assigning unit 223 assign the importance of the keywords collectively when the keywords are registered in the keyword DB, or when there is a business card search request. It may be performed at a timing different from that of this embodiment.

Then, the output unit 250 outputs the determined keyword, the registration time of the business card image including the keyword (details will be described later), and the calculated weight value (the above three are collectively used as keyword information) to the user terminal 100. (S9). After that, the user terminal 100 uses the input / output unit 10
The keyword received in 1 is displayed as a business card search result in the display unit 1 based on the weight value of the keyword.
Displayed on 03 (S10). At this time, the control unit 102 adjusts the display position from the keyword registration time and the display size from the weight value, and changes the display size and display format to the display unit 10.
Display in 3.

7 to 9 show an example of a screen displayed on the user terminal 100 in the present embodiment.

FIG. 7 is an example of the login screen of the business card management system according to the present embodiment. On this screen, the user logs in to the system by entering the personal ID and password, which are user identification information. FIG. 8 shows an example of a screen immediately after login, and a window 401 for designating a search display period is displayed. At this time, the period to be displayed may be specified, or the cross mark on the upper right may be selected as it is to close the window 401. When the window 401 is closed without specifying the display period, the search display period set by default, for example, the business card search results from the current date and time to half a year ago is displayed.

FIG. 9 shows a case where the designated search display period is from February 2016 to July 2016 regardless of the designated means, and the time axis 402 from February 2016 to July 2016 is displayed. ing. If you want to newly register a business card, select the new registration button 403.

In this example, the keywords determined by the business card information retrieval unit 240 are "XX Co., Ltd." and "
"Osaka" and "sales". At this time, the display size and display format are changed based on the weight value set for the keyword. Here, the keyword with the largest weight value, "XX"
"Co., Ltd." is displayed in the largest size. The shape of the display is an example, and any display method such as changing the color can be used as long as an important keyword can be identified from a plurality of keywords.

In addition, the display position of each keyword is calculated based on the registration time of a plurality of business cards including the keyword. For example, the standard deviation of the registration time of a business card including a keyword is acquired and displayed so that the center of the figure is located at that time. This display method is an example, and if it is a display that can specify the time when many business cards containing keywords are registered, the average of the time can be taken as the center of the figure.
The vertical size of the displayed figure can be matched, and the display method does not matter. Further, the calculation of the display position of the keyword may be performed on the business card information management server 200 side, or the user terminal 1
You may go on the 00 side.

The flow of changing the display method of the business card search result in the business card management system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

First, in the user terminal 100, one keyword is selected by the user performing a screen operation such as expanding or long-pressing one keyword, and the input / output unit 101 selects the input unit 210 of the business card information management server 200. Enter the selected keyword in (S11)
). Next, the business card information search unit 240 of the business card information management server 200 uses the user terminal 100.
The business card image is registered within the search display period requested by the above, and the business card ID including the selected keyword is searched from the business card DB243 (S12). Then, the business card information search unit 240 acquires the name associated with the extracted business card ID, and transmits the name from the output unit 250 to the user terminal 100. The user terminal 100 displays a list of business card names received from the business card information search unit 207 by the input / output unit 101 on the display unit 103 (S13).

A display example of the name of the business card is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 11, the user operates the screen and performs a screen operation.
If you select "XX Co., Ltd." by expanding or long-pressing it, 201 within the search display period.
From March 2006 to June 2016, "Totaro", "Nishisaburo", "Nangoro", etc., which is a list of business card names 404 of business card information including the keyword "XX Co., Ltd.", are displayed. Although not shown, if one person's name is selected from this business card name list 404 by tapping, etc., the business card DB will be selected from that name.
Refer to 233 and acquire the business card ID of the business card. By referring to the business card image storage unit 232 based on the acquired business card ID, the business card image of the person is displayed. When a keyword is selected, the business card ID of the business card containing the keyword may be acquired and the business card image may be displayed as it is based on the business card ID.

In this way, by selecting the time when a certain person was met, a keyword related to the person, and the like, it is possible to easily reach the business card of the desired person even if the name cannot be remembered.

(Second Embodiment)
Since the overall configuration of the business card management system for realizing the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, detailed description thereof will be omitted. In order to realize the present embodiment, the user information storage unit 2 of the storage unit 230 shown in FIG. 1, which is a block diagram of the entire configuration for realizing the first embodiment.
Register the detailed information of the user in 35. For example, the information of the organization to which the user belongs is registered, and in addition to the personal ID, the section ID to which the user belongs, the department ID to which the user belongs, and the like are assigned. FIG. 12 shows an example of the information stored in the keyword DB 234 according to the present embodiment. The keyword DB 234 shown in FIG. 12 includes a keyword ID assigned to identify the extracted keyword, a business card ID of a business card containing the keyword, a business card image registration time, and an importance added by the keyword importance assigning unit 223. As business card registrant information, in addition to personal ID, department ID, section ID
It has a column such as. In the present embodiment, when registering the business card registrant information in the keyword DB 234,
Based on the personal ID entered by the user at the time of login, the user's affiliation information and the like registered in the user information storage unit 235 are referred to. Taking the first line of the record in FIG. 12 as an example, the personal ID
Based on "P001", the user information storage unit 235 is referred to, and the department ID "D001" and the section ID "S001" of the department to which the business card registrant belongs are registered.

Since the business card registration flow in the business card management system according to the present embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, details will be omitted. The business card search flow according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The input / output unit 101 of the user terminal 100 transmits a business card search request to the input unit 210 of the business card information management server 200 based on the terminal operation of the user (S14). This business card search request includes the designation of the business card registrant in addition to the search display period. In the designation of the business card registrant, for example, the individual logged-in user is specified. As another example, the range of the department to which the user belongs, the range of the section to which the user belongs, and the like may be specified.

Subsequently, the keyword search unit 241 of the business card information search unit 240 uses the business card information management server 2
Based on the business card search request input from the input unit 210 of 00 to the business card information search unit 240, a keyword whose registration time of the business card image is included in the search display period is selected from the keyword DB 234. In addition to that, "personal ID" or "department ID" or "section ID" which is the registrant information of the business card image
By referring to, keywords included in the business card registered by the individual user, keywords included in the business card registered by the member of the department to which the user belongs, or keywords included in the business card registered by the member of the section to which the user belongs. Select. Then, the selected keyword is weighted by the keyword weighting unit 242, and the user terminal 100
The keyword to be displayed in is determined (S15). Then, the output unit 250 transmits the determined keyword information to the user terminal 100 (S16). After that, the user terminal 100
The keyword information received by the input / output unit 101 is displayed on the display unit 103 as a business card search result based on the keyword weight value (S17). At this time, the control unit 102 adjusts the display position from the keyword registration time and the display size from the weight value, changes the display size and the display format, and displays the display on the display unit 103.

In the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the user has a personal ID on the login screen.
Log in to the system by entering the password. A window for specifying the search display period and registrant information is displayed on the screen immediately after login. At this time, the period to be displayed may be specified, the registrant information may be specified, or the window may be closed as it is. If you close the window without specifying anything, the search results in the search display period and registrant information set by default will be displayed. In addition, depending on the setting, it is possible to display the search results in the search display organization and registrant information set by default immediately after login without displaying the window for specifying the search display organization and registrant information.

FIG. 14 shows a business card search result when the registrant information is designated as an individual user regardless of the designation means. In this embodiment, buttons related to the affiliation of the user such as "individual", "section", and "department" are displayed. In this example, the keyword DB234 is referred to, and the registration time of the business card image is the search display period requested by the user terminal 100 from February 2016 to July 2016.
The keywords "XX Co., Ltd.", "Osaka", and "Sales" that are included in the month, store the user's personal ID, and have a large weight value given by the keyword weighting unit 242 illustrated in FIG. 6 are extracted. Then, the result is displayed on the user terminal 100. Also, when the "section" or "department" button is selected, the section ID or department ID of the user in the keyword DB234 is similarly selected.
Refer to. As a result, keywords with a large weight value can be determined and displayed, including information registered by other users who have the same section ID and department ID as the user.

As for the selection method here, for example, any number of buttons may be provided according to the composition and scale of the organization to which the user belongs, such as "business division", "base", and "whole company", and the selection method depends on the button. It doesn't have to be a thing.

After that, the method of selecting one from the displayed keywords and displaying the business card image of the desired person is the same as that of the first embodiment, and thus detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In this way, by registering business card information in association with the user's personal ID and ID related to affiliation, it is possible to easily get a bird's-eye view of when and what kind of characteristics are met with many people, such as for each user's individual and affiliation range. And it becomes easy to reach the desired business card information. Humans often remember the time and place of visits, but cannot remember the names of people they have met in the past. In this case, there is a problem that the business card cannot be searched intuitively by the general method of displaying the business card in the order of the Japanese syllabary. According to the present invention, the business card can be searched by using the registration time and the keyword, so that even if the above-mentioned name cannot be remembered, the business card can be searched by an intuitive user interface.
