  • Patent number: 10270856
    Abstract: An information storage system and an information storage method allow necessary information to be stored in the proper amount with a simple operation for people to share the information. The system includes an input unit including a plurality of press-type switches each of which accepts input for an on-signal or an off-signal and a data server storing pieces of identification information each identifying a corresponding one of the switches and messages in association with each other and outputs, in response to input accepted by each of the switches, a corresponding one of the messages. The input unit transmits an on-signal or an off-signal and a piece of identification information to the data server. The data server receives the on-signal or the off-signal and the piece of identification information and extracts and outputs a message associated with the piece of identification information received together with the on-signal.
