Data processing method, data processing apparatus, and data processing program
A data processing method of an embodiment is used in an online communication system. The data processing method includes registering a registration name and a pseudonym in a user database of the online communication system for each user, displaying the registration name on a display device as a user name of a user who is permitted to disclose information with each other (S 23 ), and displaying the pseudonym on the display device as a user name of a user who is not permitted to disclose information with each other (S 24 ).
1 . A method comprising:
registering a plurality of registration names and a plurality of pseudonyms in a database of an online communication system for a plurality of users, which comprise a first user and a second user;
displaying (i) a respective pseudonym of the first user on a display device of the second user and (ii) a respective pseudonym of the second user on a display device of the first user;
receiving first disclosure permission of the respective pseudonym of the second user from the display device of the first user;
receiving second disclosure permission of the respective pseudonym of the first user from the display device of the second user, wherein the first disclosure permission is a lower security level than a security level of the second disclosure permission;
in response to receiving the first disclosure permission and the second disclosure permission, determining a permission is established between the display device of the first user and the display device of the second user according to the second disclosure permission; and
in response to determining the permission is established, displaying (i) the registration name of the first user on the display device of the second user and (ii) the registration name of the second user on the display device of the first user.
2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein each pseudonym of the plurality of pseudonyms registered in the database is automatically generated so as not to overlap when a subsequent registration is performed in the online communication system.
3 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
setting a plurality of permission levels as disclosure permission levels of information between each user of the plurality of users; and
displaying, by the display device, information corresponding to a permission level of the first user to the display device of the second user and a permission level of the second user to the display device of the first user.
4 . A data processing device comprising one or more processors configured to:
register a plurality of registration names and a plurality of pseudonyms in a database of an online communication system for a plurality of users, which comprise a first user and a second user;
display (i) a respective pseudonym of the first user on a display device of the second user and (ii) a respective pseudonym of the second user on a display device of the first user;
receive first disclosure permission of the respective pseudonym of the second user from the display device of the first user;
receive second disclosure permission of the respective pseudonym of the first user from the display device of the second user, wherein the first disclosure permission is a lower security level than a security level of the second disclosure permission;
in response to receiving the first disclosure permission and the second disclosure permission, determine a permission is established between the display device of the first user and the display device of the second user according to the second disclosure permission; and
in response to determining the permission is established, display (i) the registration name of the first user on the display device of the second user and (ii) the registration name of the second user on the display device of the first user.
5 . The data processing device according to claim 4 , wherein each pseudonym of the plurality of pseudonyms registered in the database is automatically generated so as not to overlap when a subsequent registration is performed in the online communication system.
6 . The data processing device according to claim 4 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
set a plurality of permission levels as disclosure permission levels of information between each user of the plurality of users; and
display, by the display device, information corresponding to a permission level of the first user to the display device of the second user and a permission level of the second user to the display device of the first user.
7 . One or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising instructions stored thereon that are executable by one or more processing devices and upon such execution cause the one or more processing devices to perform operations comprising:
registering a plurality of registration names and a plurality of pseudonyms in a database of an online communication system for a plurality of users, which comprise a first user and a second user;
displaying (i) a respective pseudonym of the first user on a display device of the second user and (ii) a respective pseudonym of the second user on a display device of the first user;
receiving first disclosure permission of the respective pseudonym of the second user from the display device of the first user;
receiving second disclosure permission of the respective pseudonym of the first user from the display device of the second user, wherein the first disclosure permission is a lower security level than a security level of the second disclosure permission;
in response to receiving the first disclosure permission and the second disclosure permission, determining a permission is established between the display device of the first user and the display device of the second user according to the second disclosure permission; and
in response to determining the permission is established, displaying (i) the registration name of the first user on the display device of the second user and (ii) the registration name of the second user on the display device of the first user.
8 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media according to claim 7 , wherein each pseudonym of the plurality of pseudonyms registered in the database is automatically generated so as not to overlap when a subsequent registration is performed in the online communication system.
9 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media according to claim 7 , further comprising:
setting a plurality of permission levels as disclosure permission levels of information between each user of the plurality of users; and
displaying, by the display device, information corresponding to a permission level of the first user to the display device of the second user and a permission level of the second user to the display device of the first user.
