The address book writing / rewriting unit 111 of the mobile phone 10 registers information such as the name of the contact person input according to the operation of the input unit 15 by the user in the storage unit 12 as contact information (S650). The mobile phone 10 repeats the same processing until an end instruction is given (from S610 to S660).

  The administrator assigns a registered group name to the WEB server 20 and sets access authority for a contact person who wants to disclose the same HP. By registering the group name, a contact person who can access each content is set. For example, the administrator registers the group name “family” in the group field of the contact information of the family whose family HP is to be disclosed. If a name, telephone number, e-mail address, etc. have already been registered (FIG. 9B), the administrator selects and registers items such as a group name and a contact person password.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in S320, the e-mail transmission / reception unit 112 of the mobile phone 10 manages the administrator password and the contact information in which the group name is registered in S310 by e-mail with the sender as the administrator name. Information is transmitted to the WEB server 20. The WEB server 20 receives the management information e-mail including the contact information, the administrator name and the administrator password (S510), authenticates the administrator, and registers it in the content registration process (see S210 in FIG. 5). The information is stored in the storage unit 22 in association with the access control information having the same administrator name (S520). The WEB server 20 returns an e-mail indicating that registration has been completed to the mobile phone 10 including the URL of the folder assigned to the group to which the contact person belongs (S530).

  The e-mail transmission / reception unit 112 receives the e-mail including the URL (S330), generates the e-mail indicating the access method to the homepage for each group including the URL and the contact person password set in S310. Transmission is made to the e-mail addresses of all contact persons belonging to the group (S340). The contact person PC 40 receiving this e-mail accesses the HP for each group according to the access method such as the URL included in the e-mail (S420). Specifically, the contact person PC 40 first accesses the URL, transmits the login name (name of the contact person) and the contact person password to the WEB server 20, and makes a content provision request. The WEB server 20 performs authority confirmation processing for this request (S540).

  As shown in FIG. 8, the access restriction unit 211 of the WEB server 20 is based on the login name and contact person password received from the contact person PC 40 and the access control information stored in the storage unit 22. It is determined whether or not to authenticate the contact person (S710), and in the case of authentication, whether or not the access to the content that is the target of the provision request is within the access authority range of the contact person. A determination is made based on the access control information (S720, S730). When it is determined NO in S710 or S730, the access restriction unit 211 determines that the requester who has made the request does not have the authority (S760). (S750), and the authority confirmation process ends (S770).

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the authority of the contact person can be confirmed, the WEB server 20 transmits the requested content to the contact person PC 40 (S550), and ends the processing (S550). S560). The contact person PC 40 receives this content (S430) and ends the process (S440). In the authority confirmation process (see FIG. 8), if it is determined that there is no authority, the WEB server 20 ends the process without responding to the request (S560). Accordingly, the WEB server 20 provides a request for providing content that is not stored in the folder corresponding to the group even when the content is requested from the general PC 50 used by a general user or when the content is authenticated as a contact person. If there is, there will be no request.

  When the administrator rewrites and writes the group name in the address book of the mobile phone 10, the address book writing / rewriting unit 111 is similar to the contact information registration process (see FIG. 7). Processing is performed, and the e-mail transmitting / receiving unit 112 transmits update management information including the updated group name and the name of the contact person whose group name is updated to the WEB server 20 (S320 in FIG. 6). . The WEB server 20 rewrites the access control information based on this update management information (S520 in the figure), and the access restriction unit 211 restricts access based on the rewritten access control information (in the figure). S540).

Thus, according to the present embodiment, the information provision management system 1 manages the provision of content from the WEB server 20 based on the contact information in the address book stored in the mobile phone 10. By registering information in each item of the address book of the mobile phone 10, a person can easily manage access to content without knowledge of management. In addition, management of provision of contents such as personal information is facilitated, and as a result, safety can be improved.
Furthermore, since the mobile phone 10 rewrites the access authority according to the user's instruction, the user can perform access management in more detail.

Furthermore, since the mobile phone 10 transmits an e-mail to the e-mail address of the contact person stored in the storage unit 12 to notify the access method, the mobile phone 10 easily notifies the predetermined contact person. It became possible.
Further, if the mobile phone 10 has an e-mail function as a communication function, it is possible to manage access by sending management information by e-mail. Even if it is a terminal having an output function or a communication function, it is possible to easily manage access.

Furthermore, the mobile phone 10 can be realized simply by installing a predetermined e-mail program on a general mobile phone, and it is possible to reduce the cost of the realization, as well as versatility and feasibility. It became possible to improve.
Furthermore, since the mobile phone 10 sets the group name for each contact person according to the instructions of the administrator, the access authority of the contact person can be managed for each group, and the convenience is improved. Became possible.
Further, since the cellular phone 10 sets a contact person password in accordance with an instruction from the administrator, it is possible to improve convenience such as setting a password that is easy to remember.

  The mobile phone 10 stores, as contact information, the group name of one group to which the contact person belongs in association with each contact, but the number of group names to be associated may be plural. In response to a case where a contact person belongs to a plurality of groups, access management can be performed in more detail, and convenience can be improved. Similarly, the mobile phone 10 may store a plurality of contacts such as a plurality of e-mail addresses in association with the contact person as contact information.

The mobile phone 10 sets a contact person password for each contact person, but may set a password for each group. What is necessary is just to be able to authenticate what kind of authority the WEB server 20 has about the person who makes a provision request. Further, the WEB server 20 may assign a password and notify the mobile phone 10 or may directly notify the contact person (contact person PC 40).
In addition, an invitation e-mail is transmitted from the mobile phone 10 to the contact person PC 40 to notify the access method to the HP for each group, but the invitation e-mail is directly transmitted from the WEB server 20 to the contact person PC 40. The access method may be notified, and the notification method is not limited.

  The mobile phone 10 transmits the contact information and the administrator name by e-mail, but even if such information is transmitted by accessing the WEB server 20 such as accessing the HP provided by the WEB server 20. Good. The URL notification from the WEB server 20 to the mobile phone 10 may also be performed by this access. The transmission method of these information is not limited.

  The information provision management system 1 performs processing in the order of URL acquisition (S120 in FIG. 5), content upload (S130 in FIG. 5), and contact information transmission (S320 in FIG. 6). After the transmission, content upload and URL acquisition may be performed. If the content and access control information are registered in the WEB server 20 and the URL of the registered content is transmitted to the mobile phone 10, the order of these processes is as follows. It is not limited.

  The cellular phone 10 transmits management information to register the access control information to the WEB server 20, but it is not necessary to transmit all items of the contact information, and the WEB server 20 such as the management company name and the contact person's name. At least information indicating the access right of the contact person, such as information for identifying the contact person and the group name to which the contact person belongs. The same applies to the access control information registered from the management information and stored in the storage unit 22.

  The WEB server 20 authenticates the contact person based on the contact person password. For example, the contact person PC 40 is a mobile phone, and the ID of the mobile phone to which the WEB server 20 is accessed is set. When the information processing apparatus that the WEB server 20 requests to provide can be authenticated by its access, such as when identification is possible, it is not necessary to set a contact person password. It is not necessary for the contact person to hold a password, and convenience can be improved.
