DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a system for registering and providing video / text news according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings based on an embodiment.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of a video / text news registration and provision system according to the present invention. The system for registering and providing video / text news according to the present invention has a news database server 1 and is connected to a plurality of terminals via a communication network.

The plurality of terminals A and B are ordinary personal computer terminals (naturally including mobile personal computer terminals) operated by an authentication registration user or a general user described later via a communication network. The news database server 1 includes an input / output unit 2, a control unit 3, an authentication registration unit 4, a collation unit 5, an authentication data storage unit 6, a data registration unit 7, a data data search unit 8, a database storage unit 9, an authentication examination. Terminal 1
0 is provided.

The input / output unit 2 has an interface for connecting the news database server 1 to a communication network. The control unit 3 controls the input / output unit 2, the authentication registration unit 4, the verification unit 5, the data registration unit 7, and the data search unit 8, and has a function of exchanging input / output data with them.

The authentication registration unit 4 performs authentication registration as a person who can access the data registration unit 7 of the news database server 1 and provide video / text news as an authentication registration user. The collation unit 5 provides information to the news database server 1 and performs a collation process to determine whether or not a person who accesses to register is a genuine authentication registered user.

As a result, the registered user of the authentication becomes the "reporter"
As a result, it becomes possible to access the data registration unit 7 of the news database server 1 and register the collected information in the database storage unit 9.

The authentication examination terminal 10 is connected to the authentication registration section 4 via the input / output section 2 so as to be accessible, and is used for authentication examination. In short, when there is an authentication registration application, the contents of the authentication application input to the authentication registration unit 4 and various information of the authentication applicant are sent to the authentication examination terminal 10. The administrator of the news database server 1
It is possible to display the application content of the certification registration application on the certification examination terminal 10 and perform certification examination for checking whether or not the news database server 1 is appropriate as a certified registrant.

Alternatively, when the administrator of the news database server 1 makes an application for certification registration, the certification examination by the certification examination terminal 10 is not performed and the examination is registered without any examination. If there is inappropriate or suspicious behavior such as registering appropriate image information or news (eg, images or text information that is contrary to public order and morals), the certification registration terminal 10 deletes the certification registration. Then, the corresponding inappropriate authentication registered user is deleted from the authentication data storage unit 6.

Whether the examination is performed or the examination is not performed, the authentication registration unit 4 stores information (name, affiliation, address, authentication ID number, mail number, etc.) of the authenticated registered user. Is stored in the authentication data storage unit 6. Then, the verification unit 5 transmits the video / text news to the database server by the authentication registered user or the like, and in response to the inquiry as to whether the provider is a true authentication registered user, verifies the authenticity of the authenticated registered user. Provides information such as the determination result.

The data registration unit 7 is used by an authenticated registered user as an information provider to cover and transmit information in various places in Japan, local airlines, etc., or to create a video / text news for self-promotion by a company, store, individual, etc. Then, the digital video / text news is registered in the respective database storage units 9.

The data search unit 8 is used when a general user accesses the news database server 1 by transmitting search conditions such as a unique point symbol or a keyword corresponding to coordinate data of a map to the news database server 1. Then, a search process is performed to search data in the database storage unit 9 and transmit data as a search result to a general user.

The database storage unit 9 includes a video database unit 11, a news database unit 12, and a map database unit 13.

The video database unit 11 includes:
Digital video information collected and transmitted by various users from various locations, or digital video information created by companies, stores, individuals, etc. for advertising is registered and stored and stored as a database.

As described above, the video information registered in the video database unit 11 is attached with a unique point symbol corresponding to the coordinates of the news point at the time of registration by the authenticated and registered user of the transmission source. Is registered in association with the location symbol. In addition, the video information is provided with a video information registration number (reception number) in the data registration unit 7, as well as the date and time of coverage by the authentication registration user of the transmission source,
The reporter (affiliation, reporter name, photographer name), and related information such as link information to character information described later are appropriately added and registered in the video database unit 11.

The news database unit 12 registers, similarly to the video database, news information in the form of a document that has been collected and transmitted by an authentication registered user from various places or information in a document created by a company, store, individual, or the like for advertisement. It is stored and stored as a database.

As described above, the character information registered in the news database unit 12 and the unique point symbol corresponding to the coordinates of the news point are attached at the time of the registration by the authenticated and registered user of the transmission source. It is registered in association with the point symbol. The character information is provided with a character information registration number (reception number) in the data registration unit 7, and also includes the date and time of coverage by the authentication and registration user of the sender, the reporter (affiliation, reporter name, etc.), and the video. Related information such as link information is appropriately added to the news database unit 12.
Registered in.

The map database 13 stores map image data, map coordinate data, and unique points. Here, the unique point symbol is a symbol assigned in association with the map coordinate data. When the data retrieval unit 8 makes an inquiry with a unique point symbol, the map information database unit determines a predetermined radius (for example, the center of the coordinate point of the coordinate data associated with the unique point symbol) (for example, , 500 m radius) is called.

For example, assuming that character information provided by an authentication registered user and registered in a news database is provided with a unique point code corresponding to the coordinates of the point of information Kasumigaseki 3-chome-3. When a general user accesses the text information, a unique location symbol of the coverage point is also displayed on the terminal screen along with the text information, and when the location symbol is clicked, the coordinate of the location symbol is centered. For example, map image data corresponding to an area with a radius of 500 m is called up and displayed on the terminal of a general user.

The operation of the system for registering and providing video / text news according to the present invention having the above configuration will be described below. For example, in order for the terminal user A to be an “authentication registered user” who can access the data registration unit 7 of the news database server 1, the terminal user A must apply to the news database server 1 for registration as an authentication registered user. .

(Authentication / Registration Application) The terminal user A (applicant) who intends to make this registration application,
To access the authentication registration unit 4 of the news database server, open the application format, and input predetermined items (name, address, affiliation, mail number, etc.) in the application format. In this case, as described above, the news database server administrator may be configured not to perform certification examination and register without examination or to perform certification examination at the certification examination terminal 10 as described above. .

In the case where the certification examination is not required (no examination registration), when the information of the applicant is input in the format of the certification registration unit 4, the certification registration unit 4 gives the certification ID number to the applicant. And the authentication ID number is stored and registered in the authentication data storage unit 6 with the data such as the name and the affiliation of the applicant who has been authorized as an authentication registration user.

On the other hand, in the case where the certification examination is performed by the certification examination terminal 10, when the information of the applicant is input in the format of the certification registration unit 4, the news database server administrator sends the application from the certification examination terminal 10. Display and print the contents of the application on a monitor, and submit the application for certification.

As a result of this certification examination, when the certification is approved, the administrator sends an authentication signal from the certification examination terminal 10 to the certification registration unit 4. In response, the authentication registration unit 4 assigns an authentication ID number to the applicant, and stores the authentication ID number and data such as the name and affiliation of the applicant who has been authorized as the authentication registration user in the authentication data storage unit. 6 to be registered.

When any of the above authentication registration processes is completed in the news database server, the authentication registration unit 4
The authentication ID number is transmitted to the user's terminal via the network. By inputting the authentication ID number, the authenticated registered user can access the database section with the news database server.

By the way, the authentication and registration user who has obtained the ID number in this manner provides video and text news to the news database server 1 and registers the news. The following example is assumed as a specific case. Is done.

The administrator of the news database server 1 dispatches a specific person such as an employee in various places in Japan or in a local air area to perform a news gathering activity or an information gathering activity. There is a limit. For this purpose, the news database server administrator makes a contract with free reporters and photographers other than employees and others or general cooperators in various places for coverage and information collection. Such a contractor is registered as an authentication registration user.

Further, the news database server functions as a place for advertising and introducing products, technologies, events, and the like, a place for interacting with hobbies, and a place for introducing bridal applicants by companies, stores, and individuals. Also, a person who uses such a news database server function as an information providing side is also registered as an authentication registration user.

(Provision and Registration of Video / Text News by Authentication Registered User) Next, the operation when the authentication registered user provides information to the news database server will be described. Now, the authentication registered user accesses the news database server 1 from the mobile type terminal A at the news gathering site. Then, in response to this access signal, the news database server displays a search or information registration selection button screen on the terminal A. When the registered user clicks the information registration selection button,
The authentication ID number input screen is displayed.

Then, when the user inputs his / her own ID number on the ID number input screen, this ID number is sent to the collating unit 5, and the collating unit 5 checks the authentication database to check whether or not the authentication is registered. When the registration is confirmed as a result of the comparison, the authentication registration user can access the data registration unit 7 for the first time, and transmits and displays the provided information creation screen and the map image data to the terminal A. .

Further, the authentication registered user may add character information (document file attached) along with bibliographic items such as the name, date, region, genre, etc. of the registered user on the information to be registered on the provided information creation screen. ) And video information photographed by a digital camera (a video data file may be attached).

Then, the authentication registered user selects (clicks with a mouse) a point on the map image relating to a point of coverage of video / text news while viewing the transmitted and displayed map image. As a result, the authenticated registered user can automatically attach the unique point symbol relating to the news gathering point to the video information and the character information.

When the authentication registration user completes the creation of the provided information creation screen to which such a unique point symbol is attached and clicks the send button in the provided information creation screen, the information is registered in the news database server. Sent to the management unit. Then, the registration management unit stores the video information and the character information associated with the unique point symbol in the video database unit 11 and the news database unit 12 together with bibliographic items as appropriate.

That is, the video information and the character information are stored in the video database unit 11 and the news database unit 12, respectively, with a unique point symbol corresponding to the coordinate data of the news point. As a result, the database storage unit 9 is registered and stored with the information provided by the authentication and registration user in association with the unique point symbol, and a huge database can be constructed.

If the information already registered in the database section has been changed, the authenticated registered user accesses the data registration section 7 in the same procedure as described above, and accesses the registered database. Can be overwritten. Thus, the latest real-time video / text news is always registered in the database storage unit 9.

(Use of database by general user)
Next, access to a database server and use of a database by a general user will be described. A general user can access the data search unit 8 of the database server via a network using a normal terminal such as the terminal B. In response to the access signal, the database server transmits and displays the search screen and the map image information to the terminal B.

The access of the general user is performed by clicking on a desired point on the map image and inputting a unique point symbol relating to the point. Alternatively, a desired keyword, date and time, region, genre, and the like, which are search conditions, are appropriately input to the search screen. Then, click the send button.

Then, based on these unique point symbols or search conditions, the data search unit 8 searches the video database unit 11 and the news database unit 12 and calls video information and character information. Displayable. As described above, it is a feature of the present invention that a point can be selected from the map image and the latest video / text news at the point can be directly accessed. Also, the latest video / text news of the selected search condition can be accessed.

Since the video information and the character information are provided with a unique location symbol related to the news location, the general user does not select and access the location of the map image, but uses a keyboard or the like. Even when accessed from search conditions such as the date and time, a unique location code of a video / text news coverage location from the news database server 1 transmitted thereto is attached. , The map image of the point can be easily displayed.

Since the general user does not have the authentication ID number, he can access the data search unit 8 and search the database information, but cannot access the data registration unit 7 and cannot register information in the database. Overwriting is not allowed.

Although the embodiment of the system for registering and providing video / text news according to the present invention has been described based on the embodiment, the present invention is not particularly limited to such an embodiment. It goes without saying that there are various embodiments within the scope of the technical matters described in the claims.
