Information provision exchange service system and method, program for implementing the method, and storage medium storing the program
First Claim
1. An information provision exchange service system comprising:
- a plurality of communication terminals, each of said communication terminals being allocated to one of a plurality of subscribers;
a communication network that communicably connects the plurality of communication terminals to each other; and
a server that mediates information exchange between said plurality of communication terminals via said communication network, said server comprising;
a personal information registration device that registers personal information for each of a plurality of users using said communication terminals;
a detection device that checks the registered personal information to determine whether or not information that can be used to identify any of the users of said communication terminals is included in information exchanged between said plurality of communication terminals via said communication network; and
a changing device that is operable when the information that can be used to identify any of the users of said communication terminals is detected in the information exchanged between said communication terminals via said communication network, to replace the information that can be used to identify the user with other information.

Abstract
An information provision exchange service system that can securely prevent the transmission of information that can be used to identify a user to another party and enable users to provide and exchange information between themselves free from confidentiality concerns. A server checks registered personal information to determine whether or not information that can be used to identify any of the users using a plurality of communication terminals is included in information exchanged between the communication terminals via a communication network, and replaces the information that can be used to identify a user with other information if the information that can be used to identify the user is detected in the information exchanged between the communication terminals via the communication network.

14. An information provision exchange service provision method of causing a server to mediate information exchange between a plurality of communication terminals via a communication network, to provide an information provision exchange service for a plurality of users using the communication terminals, the method comprising the steps of:
-
registering personal information for each of the users;
checking the registered personal information to determine whether or not information that can be used to identify any of the users of the communication terminals is included in information exchanged between the communication terminals via the communication network; and
replacing the information that can be used to identify any of the users with other information when the information that can be used to identify the user is detected in the information exchanged between the communication terminals via the communication network.
