[Means for solving problems]

According to the first invention, when an Internet user uses a WWW service on the Internet, input information is input between a plurality of WWW servers in a system that receives the WWW service by inputting an ID and a password for each WWW service. In the ID sharing method between multiple servers for sharing, the user inputs an ID and password from the user terminal and sends them to the member management server, and the member management server is one-time for the input ID and password. Set the ID, return it to the user terminal, send the one-time ID from the user terminal to the WWW server that wants the service, and provide the WWW service on the WWW server using the one-time ID. , The process of returning the one-time ID to the user terminal and then sending the returned one-time ID at the user terminal to the desired WWW server for the WWW service is repeated.

【0006】

In the second invention, when the one-time ID is returned to the user terminal on the WWW server, the one-time ID authenticated by the member management server is set in the anchor part of the HTML document. The third invention is in a system consisting of a WWW server in which an Internet user provides a WWW service on the Internet, a user terminal that acquires a service from the WWW server, and a member management server that manages user information. It is an ID sharing system between a plurality of servers for sharing input information among a plurality of WWW servers in a system that receives the WWW service by inputting an ID and a password for each WWW service, and the user terminal is used. The member management server has an ID / password input means that accepts the input of an ID and password from a person and a one-time ID transmission means that sends a one-time ID generated based on the ID / password to the WWW server. Based on the ID and password obtained from the user terminal, it has a one-time ID generation means that generates a one-time ID and returns it to the user terminal in addition to the ID, and the WWW server is a WWW server from the user terminal. It has an ID rotation means for providing a WWW service using the acquired one-time ID and returning the one-time ID to the user terminal.

【0007】

In the fourth invention, the member management server manages a usable time setting means for determining the usable time of the one-time ID in advance, and a set time in which the ID, password, one-time ID, and one-time ID are set. When a one-time ID authentication request is made from the WWW server, the one-time ID table is referred to, the elapsed time from the set time and the usable time are compared, and the usable time is exceeded. It also has an authentication means that authenticates only when it is not.

【0008】

A fifth invention is a one-time ID generating means, in which a one-time ID corresponding to an ID and a password is acquired by numbering, and a one-time ID for setting the one-time ID in an anchor portion of an HTML document. Including setting means. The sixth invention is to use the one-time ID transmission means of the user terminal to obtain the anchor part of the HTML document on the browser when the one-time ID included in the HTML document is acquired from the member management server or the WWW server. Includes means to send a one-time ID to multiple WWW servers within the available time by clicking.

【0009】

The seventh invention includes a means for setting a one-time ID authenticated by the member management server in the anchor portion of the HTML document in the ID rotation means of the WWW server. The eighth invention is in a system consisting of a WWW server in which an Internet user provides a WWW service on the Internet, a user terminal that acquires a service from the WWW server, and a member management server that manages user information. A storage medium that stores an ID sharing program among a plurality of servers for sharing input information among a plurality of WWW servers in a system that receives the WWW service by inputting an ID and a password for each WWW service. One that prompts the user to enter the ID and password installed on the user terminal and sends the ID / password input process sent to the member management server and the one-time ID generated based on the ID / password to the WWW server. Based on the user terminal program having the time ID transmission process and the ID and password obtained from the user terminal installed on the member management server, a one-time ID is generated separately from the ID and the user is generated. Use the member management server program that has a one-time ID generation process to return to the terminal and the one-time ID installed on the WWW server to provide the WWW service and use the one-time ID. It has a WWW server program that has an ID rotation process to return to the user terminal.

【0010】

The ninth invention is an ID that issues an ID valid for a certain period of time to an ID and password entered by the user via a server device that performs a pre-registered WWW service or directly from the user. It has an issuing means and an authentication means for authenticating whether or not there is a valid ID in response to an ID authentication request valid for a certain period of time from a server device that performs a WWW service.

【0011】

The tenth invention is an ID that issues an ID valid for a certain period of time to an ID and password entered by the user via a server device that performs a pre-registered WWW service or directly from the user. A program for operating a computer to perform the issuing process and the authentication process that authenticates whether or not there is a valid ID in response to an ID authentication request that is valid for a certain period of time from a server device that provides a WWW service. Stored.

【0012】

According to the first, second, third, and eighth inventions described above, the user only needs to enter the ID and password once, and the member management server has a one-time ID corresponding to the ID and password. Is generated and returned to the user terminal, so that the user terminal can access a plurality of WWW servers by using the one-time ID.

【0013】

According to the fourth invention, the one-time ID can be used in the member management server from the time when the one-time ID is set until a certain time elapses, and when the predetermined time elapses, the one-time ID is used. By disabling the ID, it is effective when the user accesses multiple WWW servers in a certain period of time, but the one-time ID cannot be used if the user does not use it for several hours or days. Therefore, it cannot be used illegally on a WWW server or the like.

【0014】

According to the fifth invention, the generated one-time ID is set in the anchor part of the HTML document and sent, thereby eliminating the need for another transmission means. According to the sixth invention, the user can easily access the WWW server simply by clicking the anchor part of the HTML on the browser without inputting the ID and password again.

【0015】

According to the seventh invention, when the WWW server provides the WWW service, the one-time ID used for the anchor part of the HTML document is set and returned to the user terminal, so that the user terminal can use the one-time again. It is possible to access other WWW servers using the ID.

【0016】

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

FIG. 1 shows the configuration of an ID sharing system among a plurality of servers of the present invention. The system shown in the figure is composed of a user terminal 100, a member management server 200, and a plurality of WWW servers 300. The user terminal 100 is composed of an ID / password input unit 110 and a transmission unit 120, and the ID / password input unit 110 inputs a user's own member ID and password from a keyboard or the like. The transmission unit 120 transmits an HTML document in which the one-time ID is set in the anchor portion acquired from the member management server 200 to the WWW server 300 that provides desired information.

【0017】

The member management server 200 is composed of an ID / password authentication unit 210, a one-time ID numbering unit 220, a one-time ID table 230, a one-time ID authentication unit 240, and a one-time ID setting unit 250. The ID / password authentication unit 210 authenticates the ID and password input from the user terminal 100. As an authentication method, various authentication methods such as authentication when there is an ID matching the ID in the file in the ID / password authentication unit 210 can be considered.

【0018】

When the ID / password is authenticated by the ID / password input unit 110, the one-time ID numbering unit 220 automatically adopts a one-time ID as a one-time ID or separately from the randomly input ID. Turn. The one-time ID table 230 stores the ID and password entered by the user and the one-time ID numbered by the one-time ID numbering unit 220 as a set, and sets a timer when the one-time ID is set. Start and retain the elapsed time since the one-time ID was set.

【0019】

When the one-time ID authentication unit 240 receives a one-time ID authentication request from the WWW server 300, the one-time ID authentication unit 240 refers to the above one-time ID table 230 and determines whether or not the sent one-time ID is correct. If the predetermined time has passed, the one-time ID in the one-time ID table 230 is deleted and the authentication result is returned to the WWW server 300 as "NG".

【0020】

The one-time ID setting unit 250 refers to the one-time ID table 230, sets the wine time ID in the anchor portion in the HTML document, and returns it to the user terminal 100. The WWW server 300 is composed of a one-time ID holding unit 310, a one-time ID transmitting unit 320, and a one-time ID setting unit 330.

【0021】

The one-time ID holding unit 310 is a work memory that temporarily holds the one-time ID transmitted from the user terminal 100. The one-time ID transmission unit 320 issues a one-time ID authentication request acquired from the user terminal 100 to the member management server 200. When the authentication result notified from the member management server 200 is "authentication OK", the one-time ID setting unit 330 is held in the anchor part in the HTML document and is held in the one-time ID holding unit 310. Set the time ID and return it to the user terminal 100. In the case of "authentication NG", the one-time ID is not set and the service is not provided.

【0022】

Next, the operation when the IDs are carried between a plurality of servers in the above configuration will be described. FIG. 2 is a sequence chart of the operation of the ID sharing system among the plurality of servers of the present invention. In this figure, the case where the WWW server 300 is carried around by two servers, WWW server A and WWW server B, will be described. In the figure, these two WWW servers will be described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this example, and the same function is applied when there are n WWW servers.

【0023】

Step 101) At the user terminal 100, the user inputs an ID and a password. Step 102) The entered ID and password are sent to the member management server 200. Step 103) The member management server 200 authenticates the entered ID and password in the ID / password authentication unit 210. If the authentication is OK, move to the next step, and if it is NG, end the process.

【0024】

Step 104) In the one-time ID numbering unit 220 of the member management server 200, the one-time ID is numbered and the one-time ID is registered in the one-time ID table 230. Step 105) The one-time ID setting unit 250 sets the one-time ID set in the one-time ID table 230 in the anchor portion of the HTML document shown in FIG.

【0025】

Step 106) Send the HTML document with the one-time ID set to the user terminal 100. Step 107) In the transmission unit 120 of the user terminal 100, click the anchor part of the HTML document acquired from the member management server 200 of the browser. Step 108) Send the HTML document from the user terminal 100 to the WWW server 300A that wants to receive the service. As a result, the user does not need to enter the ID / password again.

【0026】

Step 109) The one-time ID holding unit 310 of the WWW server 300A holds the one-time ID set in the anchor part of the HTML document acquired from the user terminal 100, and transmits the one-time ID to the member management server 200. And make an authentication request. Step 110) The one-time ID authentication unit 240 of the member management server 200 searches the one-time ID table 230 using the one-time ID sent from the WWW server 300A as a key, and checks whether or not there is a corresponding one-time ID. At the same time, it is determined whether or not the predetermined time has been exceeded since the one-time ID was set. If there is a corresponding one-time ID and it is within the specified time after the one-time ID is set, "Authentication OK" is returned to the WWW server 300A as the authentication result, otherwise "Authentication NG" Is returned as the authentication result.

【0027】

Step 111) The one-time ID setting unit 330 of the WWW server 300A sets the authenticated one-time ID in the anchor part of the HTML document. Step 112) Send the HTML document with the one-time ID set to the user terminal 100. Step 113) On the user terminal 100, when the user further requests the service provision to another WWW server 300 (WWW server 300B), the anchor portion in the HTML document is clicked.

【0028】

Step 114) Since the subsequent processes are the same as the processes of steps 107 to 113, the description thereof will be omitted. After that, by sending an HTML document in which the one-time ID is set to the WWW server 300 of the further service provider, the one-time ID can be entered within the specified time by entering the ID and password once. It is possible to connect to the desired WWW server 300 by the rotation function of.

【0029】

[Example]

Hereinafter, examples of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the ID sharing system between a plurality of servers according to an embodiment of the present invention, and it is assumed that the numbers in in the figure and the numbers in the following explanations match. .. In the following example, the one-time ID settable time will be described as one hour.

【0030】

The user inputs ID = AAA and password = aaaa from the ID / password input unit 110 of the user terminal 100 (step 101). When the above ID and password entered from the user terminal are transmitted to the member management server 200 via the HTTP protocol (step 102), the ID / password authentication unit 210 of the member management server 200 authenticates the ID / password. (Step 103).

【0031】

In the one-time ID numbering unit 220 of the member management server 200, the one-time ID = 0001 is numbered (step 104) and set in the one-time ID table 230 (step 105). It is assumed that the time at this time is 10:00. As a result, the one-time ID back house 250 sets the numbered one-time ID = 0001 in the anchor part of the HTML document and returns it to the user terminal 100 (step 106).

【0032】

The transmission unit 120 of the user terminal 100 clicks the anchor portion of the HTML document acquired from the member management server 200 with a browser (step 107), and transmits the one-time ID to the WWW server 300A (step 108). When the WWW server 300A acquires the one-time ID, it sends the one-time ID = 0001 to the member management server 200 and makes an authentication request (step 109).

【0033】

The one-time ID authentication unit 240 of the member management server 200 determines whether the one-time ID = 0001 requested for authentication exists in the one-time ID table 230, and also determines whether a predetermined time has elapsed. In this example, assuming that this time is 10:10, the one-time ID = 0001 is registered at 10:00, so the authentication result is "OK". Therefore, the authentication result is returned to the WWW server 300A (step 110).

【0034】

In the WWW server 300A, the one-time ID setting unit 330 sets the one-time ID = 0001 in the anchor part of the HTML document (step 111) and returns it to the user terminal 100 (step 112). In the user terminal 100, when the HTML document acquired from the WWW server 300A is acquired, the anchor part of the HTML document is clicked on the browser (step 113) to make a service provision request to the next WWW server 300B (step). 114).

【0035】

After that, the operation is the same as after. Here, for example, in order to make a service provision request from the user terminal 100 to another WWW server 300C, the anchor part in the HTML document from the WWW server 300B that has received the service provision before is clicked, and the WWW server 300C is concerned. When the one-time ID = 0001 is sent to the server and the specified time (1 hour) is exceeded when the WWW server 300C makes an authentication request to the member management server 200 (11:05). ), Since the member management server 200 notifies the WWW server 300C of the authentication result as NG, the WWW server 300C does not provide the service to the user.

【0036】

In addition, when a predetermined time has passed since the one-time ID was set in the member management server 200, the one-time ID authentication unit 240 authenticates by deleting the one-time ID in the one-time ID table. In some cases, since the corresponding one-time ID does not exist, it is possible to set the authentication result to "NG".

【0037】

Further, the above embodiment has been described based on each component of the user terminal 100, the member management server 200, and the WWW server 300 shown in FIG. 1, but the user terminal 100 is not limited to this example. ID / password input unit 110, transmission unit 120, ID / password authentication unit 210 in member management server 200, one-time ID numbering unit 220, one-time ID authentication unit 240, one-time ID setting unit 250, one in WWW server 300 The functions of the time ID transmitter 320 and the one-time ID setting unit 330 are constructed by a program and stored in a disk device connected to each computer or a portable storage medium such as a floppy disk or a CD-ROM. It can be easily realized by installing it on each computer at the time of carrying out the invention.

【0038】

The present invention is not limited to the above examples, and various modifications and applications can be made within the scope of the claims.

【0039】

[Effect of the invention]

According to the first, second, third and eighth inventions, within a predetermined time, the user only needs to enter the ID and password once, and a plurality of one-time IDs generated by the member management server can be generated. It can be easily accessed by sending it to the WWW server of.

【0040】

According to the fourth, ninth and tenth inventions, the member management server does not use the one-time ID for several hours or days by disabling the one-time ID after a predetermined time has passed. In this case, the one-time ID cannot be used, so it cannot be used illegally on a WWW server or the like. The setting of the usable time can be changed arbitrarily.

【0041】

According to the fifth invention, by setting the generated one-time ID in the anchor part of the HTML document and sending it, it is not necessary to input only the one-time ID again, and another transmission means. Is unnecessary. According to the sixth invention, the user can send by the HTTP protocol only by clicking the anchor part of the HTML on the browser, so that the one-time ID and the ID and password are input again. You can easily access the WWW server without any.

【0042】

According to the seventh, when the WWW server provides the WWW service, the one-time ID used for the anchor part of the HTML document is set and returned to the user terminal, so that the user terminal can use it within the specified usable time. If so, you can access other WWW servers using the one-time ID as many times as you like.
