Description

  The present invention supports the establishment of a friendship effectively by participating in an event, and registers a friendship established by actually participating in an event, and establishes a network service on a communication network. The present invention relates to a friendship construction support device, a friendship construction support method, and a friendship construction support program that make it possible to confirm the relationship on the site. It is related to the technology that connects the friendships that have been established through the encounters of each other and supports this friendship to continue.

  Participating in events such as seminars, exchange meetings, celebrations, social gatherings, etc. is one of the reasons for building new friendships. Such an event is intended to be attended because it has a common purpose among the participants, and a new friendship can be easily established if the purpose of each other is known. In addition, if the characteristics based on the attribute information such as occupations, hometowns, and hobbies of other participants are known, new friendships can be easily established without taking time.

  However, even if you participate in an event, you will not understand the purpose and identity of other participants from the beginning, so you should explore common purposes and other people's identity through chatting and build new friendships over time. I have to. Therefore, participating in the event is one of the opportunities to establish a new friendship, but it is difficult to establish a new friendship with the first person you meet.

  Moreover, the friendship that was established by participating in the event and actually meeting it is deeply built, but if you have not met or contacted for a while, the relationship will fade. is there. Therefore, even if a new friendship can be established at an event, it is difficult to maintain the relationship without any means to continue to maintain the friendship, resulting in a temporary friendship. There is.

  In recent years, a service has been widespread that uses a community-type Web site established on a communication network such as the Internet to establish a new friendship. Such a service is called a social network service (hereinafter referred to as “SNS service”), and has a date of birth, place of birth, school (education), work (profession), e-mail address, blood type in advance. By registering attribute information representing their characteristics such as hobbies, favorite sports, favorite foods, etc., it can be used to build new friendships. Such an SNS service can be used if there are no invitations from existing participants who have become members after registering attribute information in advance, in addition to those that can be freely joined by an unspecified number of people. Some things are not possible.

In addition, in the conventional SNS service, when participating in the SNS service or building a friendship, a part or all of the attribute information registered at the time of participating in the SNS service is disclosed to other participants by public setting. It is supposed to be. This disclosure of attribute information makes it easier to build new friendships by expanding the scope of the attribute information. Therefore, if more detailed attribute information is registered and publicly set, it is easy to establish a new friendship with the attribute information common to each other.
In view of this, several means for searching for a person who meets the user's (participant's) request and establishing a friendship have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3).

However, since all of the means described in Patent Documents 1 to 3 are friendships established in a virtual space, the connection is weak compared to friendships established by actually meeting, and new friendships It ’s difficult to build close friendships, even if you can easily build.
Therefore, by participating in the event, new friendships can be established effectively like the SNS service, so that the close friendships established and met by actually participating in this event will continue. No means to help have been proposed so far.
