Claim Text:
1. An information disclosure system that discloses user's information to a communicating party, the information disclosure system comprising: an information disclosing unit that discloses at least part of the user's information as disclosure information to the communicating party; a setting unit that sets a disclosure range for disclosing the user's information as the disclosure information in the information disclosing unit; a history storage unit that stores a history of communication between the user and the communicating party; and an interaction frequency calculating unit that calculates an interaction frequency between the user and the communicating party based on the history of the communication stored in the history storage unit, wherein the setting unit sets the disclosure range based on the interaction frequency calculated by the interaction frequency calculating unit, wherein, when the interaction frequency calculated by the interaction frequency calculating unit changes from a previously calculated interaction frequency, the setting unit changes a disclosure range to set, wherein the setting unit sets a narrower disclosure range than a previous disclosure range when the interaction frequency calculated by the interaction frequency calculating unit is lower than the previously calculated interaction frequency, and sets a wider disclosure range than the previous disclosure range when the interaction frequency calculated by the interaction frequency calculating unit is higher than the previously calculated interaction frequency, wherein, when a first interaction frequency calculated by the interaction frequency calculating unit based on the history of the communication stored in the history storage unit before a first time is lower than the previously calculated interaction frequency, the setting unit sets the disclosure range to a first disclosure range narrower than a previously set disclosure range, and when a second interaction frequency calculated by the interaction frequency calculating unit based on the history of the communication stored in the history storage unit before a second time after the first time is higher than the first interaction frequency, the setting unit sets the disclosure range to a second disclosure range wider than the first disclosure range, wherein in response to a request from a device of the communicating party received over a network for the user's information, the information disclosure system transmits back to the device of the communicating party over the network the user's information commensurate with the disclosure range that has been set.
