The position information acquisition unit 310 acquires position information regarding the current position of the mobile terminal device 300. Specifically, the position information acquisition unit 310 can obtain the current position using GPS (Global Positioning System). The position information acquisition unit 310 receives satellite-specific C / A code signals transmitted from a plurality of GPS satellites via a GPS antenna, and simulates up to each satellite based on the timing of the signals received from each GPS satellite. The current position and time are obtained by calculating the distance. The position information is, for example, 34 degrees 12 minutes 52 seconds 12 (34 ° 12′52.12 ″ N) north latitude, 126 degrees 25 minutes 44 seconds 38 (126 ° 25′44.28 ″ E), depending on the latitude and longitude. It is expressed in the form of saying.

The reward data transmission request generation unit 320 generates a reward data transmission request, which is a request for transmission of reward data, based on the operation input from the user received by the operation input unit 303. The reward data will be described later.

When the operation input unit 303 receives a reward data transmission request transmission instruction from the user, the reward data transmission request generation unit 320 instructs the position information acquisition unit 310 to acquire position information indicating the current position. A reward data transmission request is generated including the acquired position information. The award data transmission request generation unit 320 sends the generated award data transmission request to the wireless transmission unit 330.

The wireless transmission unit 330 wirelessly transmits the reward data transmission request (condition determination request) generated by the reward data transmission request generation unit (condition determination generation unit) 320 to the information processing server 100.

Note that the reward data transmission request can be regarded as a request for determining whether or not the information processing server 100 satisfies the condition (standard) for receiving reward data, and in the following description, The reward data transmission request may be referred to as a determination request. Further, the reward data transmission request generation unit 320 generates a determination request that is a request for performing a determination process on whether or not a condition (standard) for receiving reward data from the information processing server 100 is satisfied. In the following description, the determination request generation unit 320 may be referred to.

FIG. 4 shows an example of the reward data transmission request. The award data transmission request packet includes a destination address that is an IP address of the information processing server 100 that is a destination, a transmission source address that is an IP address of the own device 300, and a packet indicating that the packet is a reward data transmission request The identifier and position information indicating the position of the own user (own apparatus) acquired by the position information acquisition unit 310 are included. The wireless transmission unit 340 wirelessly transmits the packet. The packet is wirelessly received by base stations (e-NodeBs) arranged in various places, and is sent to the information processing server 100 via a packet switch that is a host device.

The wireless reception unit 340 wirelessly receives the reward data transmitted from the information processing server 100. The wireless reception unit 340 sends the wirelessly received reward data to the reward data processing unit 350.

The award data processing unit 350 stores the award data received from the wireless reception unit 340 in the storage unit 360. The storage unit 360 stores reward data according to the processing of the reward data processing unit 350.

Next, the information processing system 1000 according to the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a specific configuration of the information processing system 1000. In FIG. 5, the information processing server 100 includes a reception unit 110, a determination unit 120, a reward data processing unit 130, and a transmission unit 140. The database 200 includes a condition storage unit 210 and a reward data storage unit 220.

The receiving unit 110 receives the reward data transmission request illustrated in FIG. 4 transmitted from the mobile terminal device 300. When the received packet is a reward data transmission request, the reception unit 110 transmits the received reward data transmission request to the determination unit 120.

When the determination unit 120 receives a reward data transmission request from the reception unit 110, the condition for transmitting the reward data stored in the condition storage unit 210 of the database 200, that is, a criterion for whether or not to transmit the reward data. Referring to FIG. 4, a determination process for determining whether or not to transmit the reward data is performed.

Here, the condition storage unit 210 stores conditions for transmitting reward data, that is, a criterion for determining whether or not to transmit reward data. Here, the condition storage unit 210 stores at least information regarding the position as a reference for determining whether or not to transmit reward data. Satisfying at least the criteria related to the information about the position is a condition for transmitting reward data. The information regarding the position may be, for example, information indicating position coordinates or position range for transmitting reward data. The condition storage unit 210 stores a reference for determining whether or not to transmit reward data, and therefore may be referred to as a reference storage unit 210 in the following description.

When the determination unit 120 receives a reward data transmission request from the reception unit 110, the determination unit 120 determines whether to transmit reward data. Determining whether or not the conditions for transmitting the reward data stored in the condition storage unit 210 are satisfied is a determination process for determining whether or not to transmit the reward data. Specifically, the determination unit 120 determines the current position of the transmission source user of the reward data transmission request based on the information on the position stored in the condition storage unit 210 as a reference as to whether or not to transmit reward data. A determination process for determining whether or not to transmit reward data including at least a position determination process for determining whether the position is within the specified position range is performed.

For example, latitudes (34 ° 12′54.45 ″ N) to (34 ° 12′54.50) are stored as information on the position stored as a criterion for determining whether or not to transmit reward data to the condition storage unit 210. It is assumed that the position range for transmitting reward data is designated in the form of “N” and longitudes of (126 ° 25′40.00 ″ E) to (126 ° 25′40.05 ″ E). In this case, the determination unit 120 determines whether the current position of the transmission source user of the reward data transmission request is within the position range. The determination unit 120 identifies the current location of the transmission source user from the location information included in the award data transmission request, and compares the current location with the location range to which the award data is to be transmitted. Determine whether to send. The determination unit 120 sends the determination result to the reward data processing unit 130.

When the determination result received from the determination unit 120 is that the reward data is transmitted, the reward data processing unit 130 reads the corresponding reward data from the reward data storage unit 220 and reads the reward data read into the transmission unit 140. Process to send.

The award data totaling unit 220 stores award data, and the award data is read in accordance with the control from the award data processing unit 130. The reward data is data that is transmitted when a criterion set in advance as a condition for transmitting reward data is cleared, and is given as a reward for a reward data transmission request that has cleared the determination in the determination unit 120 It is. Such reward data is data that is beneficial to the user, and can be, for example, a discount coupon or a predetermined license right. Further, more preferable reward data may be specific image data. In the following description, reward data may be referred to as an item.

FIG. 6 is an example of an item that is an example of the reward data. The item is specifically image data, and the data includes an item number assigned to the item and a name of the item. As described above, an item taking the form of image data may be particularly referred to as a card in the following description.

By using image data that is prohibited from being copied or falsified by copyright or the like as items that are reward data, in order to promote the user's desire for significance, the quantity of the same item on the market is limited. Therefore, in order to acquire the item, the user needs to perform an action that satisfies the above-described conditions, so that the item has a rare value. Accordingly, the reward data is attractive to the user.

The award data processing unit 130 sends the award data read from the award data storage unit 220 to the transmission unit 140.

The transmission unit 140 transmits the reward data received from the reward data processing unit 130 to the transmission source user of the corresponding reward data transmission request.

As described above, the information processing system 1000 according to the first embodiment includes the information processing server 110 and the database 200, and the database 200 is at least a position as a reference for determining whether to transmit reward data. At least two storage areas: a reference storage unit (condition storage unit) 210 that stores information related to the above, and a reward data storage unit 220 that stores reward data.

In the information processing server 100, the receiving unit 110 receives a reward data transmission request. The determination unit (determination processing unit) 120 is specified based on information on the position stored in the reference storage unit 210 as a reference as to whether or not the current position of the transmission source user of the reward data transmission request transmits the reward data. A determination process for determining whether or not to transmit the reward data including at least a position determination process for determining whether the position is within the position range is performed. The transmission unit 140 transmits the reward data when it is determined that the reward data is to be transmitted based on the reward data transmission request received by the reception unit 110 as a result of the determination process in the determination unit 120.

The award data is stored in the award data storage unit 220, and the determination unit 120 transmits the award data to the transmission source user of the award data transmission request based on the award data transmission request received by the receiving unit 110. If it is determined to be performed, the reward data processing unit 130 reads out from the reward data storage unit 220 and sends it to the transmission unit 140.

By arranging such an information processing system 1000 and having a configuration in which reward data is transmitted when a predetermined condition including a position-related condition is satisfied, the user can obtain the reward data as a condition for acquiring the reward data. The designated position (in the following description, the position range in which the reward data is transmitted may be referred to as a reward data transmission spot) is used. Therefore, the economy can be indirectly activated. The logic of this point will be described below.

The regional revitalization method related to the prior art aims at directly targeting gold and promoting purchasing activities. However, under the deflationary economy, various advertisements, including hype advertisements, are overflowing, and people are cautious about such direct-promoting advertisements and are reluctant to consume according to promotional advertisements. There is a strong tendency to become a target.

Therefore, in the present invention, the target is not to directly promote purchasing activities but to indirectly promote the circulation of gold by encouraging human circulation. The medium that carries gold, the blood of the capitalist economy, is human. As the human moves, the money goes around naturally.

In the past, neighboring countries of the Silk Road and trade relay cities prospered naturally. This is because it is necessary to provide various services such as accommodation, meals, food procurement, entertainment, and information exchange to humans who move for trade, and a local economy is required there. As people move, more consumption occurs naturally than when people stay.

By making good use of the information processing system 1000 of the present invention, it is possible to pull out the people who are confined in their homes, return home directly without taking a detour, or detour the public. For example, by setting the summit of the mountain as a reward data transmission spot (item acquisition point), even those who are not interested in climbing will find some people who are interested in acquiring reward data. Come. By climbing these people, various economic effects such as travel costs up to that point, dining costs, and purchase of climbing equipment are derived. Further, by generating a reward data transmission spot in front of the red light district or izakaya during the time of returning home, it is possible to guide the office worker who wants to acquire the reward data to the red light district. Then, some of those office workers will be willing to go for a drink. That is, voluntary consumption behavior can be attracted by promoting movement more than usual. As another example, the reward data transmission condition is set to transmit a reward data transmission request at a designated position after three rounds of the ground within 10 minutes. Here, if the designated position is set in front of the vending machine, the user who runs on the ground and is thirsty can be urged to purchase drinking water as it is.

As described above, the information processing system of the present invention does not directly promote the circulation of gold, but indirectly promotes the circulation of gold by direct human circulation. By creating a situation where it is easy to consume gold through the movement of people, consumption can be promoted and a side effect of activating economic activity can be produced.

In this way, the regional economic revitalization method that has been considered in the past often does not work well in a deflationary economy where people are wary of consumption because the activation method is too direct. In view of the above, the regional economic activation method of the present invention takes a technique of creating a situation that is easy to consume by promoting human movement and lowering the hurdle to consumption. The majority of whether or not to consume is left to the consumer. Therefore, the regional economy activation method of the present invention can activate the economy so that it gradually permeates.

In order to promote such an effect, it is preferable that reward data transmitted to the user as reward data is attractive data to the user. The reward data storage unit 220 preferably stores a plurality of reward data. By arranging a plurality of reward data transmission spots (item acquisition spots), which are the position range where reward data is transmitted, the core user will be on a journey of item collection, and a considerable economic effect can be expected.

Moreover, it is good to set the rare degree which is a parameter which shows a precious degree to each item. In this case, the higher the degree of rarity, the higher the standard for transmitting the item. For example, it may be possible to collaborate with a travel agent and to set the item acquisition condition as a condition for sending a reward data transmission request from the front of the Sun Temple in the Machu Picchu ruins, a Peruvian ruins. In this case, the item acquisition condition is clearly a higher standard than the condition that the reward data transmission request is transmitted from the Tokyo station. In such a case, it is preferable to set the rarity of the reward data for a case where acquisition conditions are difficult to be high.

FIG. 7 is an example of a reward data management file (item management file) for managing reward data (items) stored in the reward data storage unit 220. The award data management file is also stored in the award data storage unit 220. The reward data management file stores an item number that uniquely identifies each item that is reward data, an item name that is the name of the item, a description of the item, a data capacity of the item, and the item. Are stored in association with each other (storage address). In addition, when a rare degree is set for an item as described above, each item number and the rare degree may be recorded in the item management number in a state of being associated with each other. When the item is a card, the item number may be referred to as a card number, and the item name may be referred to as a card name.

FIG. 8 shows an example of a condition management file that manages conditions under which items are transmitted. By storing the condition management file in the condition storage unit 210, at least information regarding the position is stored in the condition storage unit 210 as a reference for determining whether to transmit reward data.

The condition management file is identified by a condition management number (item management number) for managing each condition (each case), an item number for identifying reward data (item) transmitted when the condition is satisfied, and the item number. And a reference relating to a position used for determining whether to transmit an item to be transmitted. In FIG. 8, a predetermined position range is set as a reference for position for No0001, and position coordinate data is set for No0002 to No0005. The condition management file is stored in the condition storage unit 210. In the following description, the reference regarding the position is referred to as a position reference.

The determination unit 120 refers to the condition management file shown in FIG. 8 and determines whether or not the position indicated by the position information included in the reward data transmission request satisfies the reference set as a reference for the position.

Specifically, as shown in No. 0001 in FIG. 8, when the position reference is set and indicated in the format of a predetermined position range, the determination unit 120 is indicated by the position information included in the reward data transmission request. It is determined whether the position is within the position range recorded in the condition management file. If the position reference is set with predetermined position coordinates as in No0002 to No0005 in FIG. 8, the determination unit 120 determines that the position indicated by the position information included in the reward data transmission request is the condition management file. It is determined whether it is within the position range around the position coordinates recorded in the above. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the position indicated by the position information included in the reward data transmission request is located within a circle having a predetermined distance radius centered on the position coordinates recorded in the condition management file. To do.

As described above, the reason why the determination unit 120 performs the determination regarding the position by expanding it to the predetermined position range is to absorb the variation in the position acquisition accuracy of the mobile terminal device 300. In addition, you may design so that how much position range is made into a position reference may differ for every project. The wider the position range determined to transmit reward data, the easier it is for the user to acquire reward data. When the position range is set to be narrow, it is preferable to set an item with a high degree of rarity as reward data as reward data.

Although it depends on each project, it is preferable to set the area equivalent to a circle with a radius of several meters to several kilometers as the position range, and more preferably a radius equivalent to a circle with a radius of several meters to several hundred meters. Things are preferable. Here, the above settings are sufficient when guiding users to entertainment districts or university campuses. However, in order to properly guide users to shopping streets and large supermarkets, the area is several meters to several tens of meters. Is preferably set as the position range, and when the user is drawn into a small-scale private business store, restaurant, vending machine, or the like, it is preferably about 1 to 10 m wide.

That is, it is preferable to set the size of the position range set to guide the user to a large supermarket or the like as a position range of about π square meters to 10,000 π square meters. In addition, the size of the position range set for guiding the user to a small store or the like is preferably set as a position range of about π square meters to 2500 π square meters, more preferably π square meters to 100π. It is preferable that the area range is about a square meter. If the position range is narrowed to such a small size, the user can be appropriately guided to the vicinity of the store.

If the position criterion is satisfied in the determination, the determination unit 120 notifies the reward data processing unit 130 of the corresponding item number. The reward data processing unit 130 reads the item of the item number from the reward data storage unit 220 based on the item number notified from the determination unit 120 and sends the item to the transmission unit 140.

In the above description, an arbitrary user transmits a reward data transmission request and the reward data can be acquired when the condition is satisfied. However, the user who uses the information processing system 1000 of the present invention is managed. It is preferable.

FIG. 9 is a block diagram illustrating another configuration of the information processing system 1000. The information processing server 100 further includes a user registration unit 150, and the database 200 includes a user information storage unit 230. In the information processing server 100, the reward data processing unit 130 includes a reward data reading unit 131 and a determination result notification information generating unit 132.

The receiving unit 110 receives a user registration request in addition to a reward data transmission request. The receiving unit 110 sends the received user registration request to the user registration unit 150. The user registration request requests registration as a user who receives a service provided by the information processing system 1000 of the present invention.

The user registration unit 150 performs user registration based on the user registration request received from the reception unit 110. The user registration request preferably includes at least user identification information for identifying a user involved in registration and a password set by the user. The user registration unit 150 performs user registration by storing the user identification information and password included in the user registration request as user information in the user information storage unit 230.

FIG. 10 is an example of a user information management file for managing the user information. A user management number uniquely assigned to each user, user identification information included in the user registration request, and a password are recorded in association with each other. The user information management file is stored in the user information storage unit 230.

In this case, it is preferable that the reward data transmission request is transmitted in a state where the user ID and the password are included as shown in FIG. In the mobile terminal device 300, the user ID and password registered by the user are stored in the storage unit 360, and the reward data transmission request generation unit 320 instructs the operation input unit 303 to generate a reward data transmission request from the user. When the operation input is received, the user ID and password stored in the storage unit 360 are read, and a prize data transmission request is generated including these pieces of information.

When receiving the reward data transmission request, the determination unit 120 refers to the user information management file illustrated in FIG. 10 and performs user authentication processing. Specifically, the determination unit 120 determines whether the user ID and password included in the reward data transmission request match the combination of the user ID and password stored in the user information storage unit 230.

When the combination of the user ID and the password matches as a result of the determination (user authentication process), the determination unit 120 refers to the condition management file illustrated in FIG. 8 and clears the conditions for transmitting the reward data. The process of determining whether or not Specifically, the current location of the transmission source user indicated by the location information included in the award data transmission request is based on the information regarding the location registered in the condition management file as a reference for whether to transmit the award data. A position determination process is performed to determine whether the position is within the specified position range.

The determination unit 120 sends the determination result to the determination result notification information generation unit 132 of the reward data processing unit 130. The determination result notification information generation unit 132 generates determination result notification information based on the determination result in the determination unit 120, and sends the generated determination result notification information to the transmission unit 140.

If the determination unit 120 determines that the reward data is to be transmitted as a result of the determination, that is, whether the position reference corresponding to the position indicated by the position information included in the reward data transmission request transmits the reward data. If the data is registered in the condition management file stored in the condition storage unit 210 as a reference, the reward data reading unit 131 is instructed to read the reward data. Specifically, the determination unit 120 issues an instruction to read the item with the item number associated with the position reference from the reward data storage unit 230 to the reward data reading unit 131.

Upon receiving the read instruction, the reward data reading unit 131 refers to the item management file illustrated in FIG. 7 stored in the reward data storage unit 220, and the item indicated by the indicated item number is displayed by the item. Read from the stored address and send it to the transmitter 140.

The determination result notification information generation unit 132 generates determination result notification information for notifying the determination result in the determination unit 120. The determination result notification information generation unit 132 transmits reward data such as that determination processing has not been performed due to a failure in user authentication, or that a position criterion registered as a condition for transmitting reward data is not satisfied. The determination result notification information may be generated by including in the determination result notification information the reason why the process is not performed.

The transmission unit 140 transmits the determination result notification information generated by the determination result notification information generation unit 132 and the reward data read by the reward data reading unit 131 to the transmission source user of the reward data transmission request.

With this configuration, it is possible to provide the service of the present invention to a user who has registered as a user. A user registration server that performs user registration separately from the information processing server 100 may be arranged in the system, and the user registration unit 150 may be included in the user registration server.

It should be noted that it is possible to register a standard other than the position standard as a criterion for determining whether or not to receive reward data. FIG. 12 shows another example of the condition management file stored in the condition storage unit 210. In FIG. 12, in addition to the reference 1 corresponding to the above-mentioned position reference, a plurality of references 2 to 2 are registered as conditions for transmitting reward data. In FIG. 12, it is shown that no reference is set for a blank portion.

As shown in FIG. 12, the condition management file stored in the condition storage unit 210 stores criteria for determining whether or not to transmit reward data as part of the conditions for transmitting reward data. In the condition management file (case management file), a plurality of items in which item numbers, which are reward data identification information for identifying reward data to be transmitted, and conditions for transmitting reward data are registered are recorded.

Reference 2 (time reference) is a reference related to a time zone for transmitting reward data, and reference 3 (period reference) is a reference related to a period for transmitting reward data. The time reference and the period reference may be collectively referred to as a time reference as a reference for the time for transmitting reward data.

For example, in the case of the condition management number No. 0001, 17:50 to 19:00 is registered as the time reference, and the determination unit 120 satisfies the reference for the reward data transmission request transmitted at a time other than this time zone. It is determined that the reward data is not transmitted as it is not. Also, July 23 to August 23 are registered as the period reference, and this period is the item transmission possible period in the case No0001. Therefore, when the date on which the reward data transmission request is transmitted does not satisfy the period criterion, the determination unit 120 determines that the reward data is not transmitted.

Standard 4 (item standard) indicates an item necessary for transmitting reward data. For example, when the transmission source user of the reward data transmission request owns the designated item, it is determined that the criterion is satisfied.

In this case, in the user information management file stored in the user information storage unit 230, as shown in FIG. 13, information owned by each user, that is, information related to the item acquired by each user is recorded together. It is preferable to do. In FIG. 13, the item number for identifying the item owned by each user and the quantity of the owned item are recorded together. For example, Leonardo, who is a user of user No. 0001, has two items of I00253.

In the case of taking the form of lending an item instead of transferring the item as reward data to the user for legal reasons, the expression of owning the item is replaced with the expression of borrowing the item. In the user information management file, the borrowed items borrowed by each user are recorded together. In order to prevent the user who received the item that is the reward data from duplicating the item in the mobile terminal device 300, the duplication is prohibited in advance by contract, or the item is lent and copied by copyright. It is preferable to adopt a configuration that prohibits the above. In the following description, an item recorded in the information processing system 1000 is transmitted to the mobile terminal device 300, whereby the item is transferred from the service administrator who is the owner of the item to the user. Will be described.

When receiving the reward data transmission request, the determination unit 120 refers to the user information management file and determines whether the item owned by the user related to the reward data transmission request satisfies the item criterion. When the item criterion is not satisfied, the determination unit 120 determines that the reward data is not transmitted even if the other criterion is satisfied. In the example of FIG. 13, only the user No0005 Balme owns the item No02572, and therefore the user who may acquire the item of the condition management number No0002 for which the item criterion is set in FIG. Become. The reward data transmission request transmitted from Balme of the user No0005 is between May 12 and May 18 and between 12:00 and 13:00, and the position within the position range set as the position reference is selected. When the position information to be shown is included in the reward data transmission request, the determination unit 120 determines that all the criteria registered as the conditions for transmitting the reward data related to the condition management number No0002 are satisfied. In this case, the determination unit 120 notifies the determination result notification information generation unit 132 of the determination result, and instructs the award data reading unit 131 to read an item of item number I23513 that identifies the award data related to the condition management number No0002. put out. The determination result notification information generation unit 132 generates determination result notification information including information indicating that the determination has been successful, that is, all the criteria have been satisfied, and comes to the transmission unit 140. Further, the reward data reading unit 131 reads an item having an item number I23513 instructed by the determination unit 120 among the plurality of items stored in the reward data storage unit 220 and sends the item to the transmission unit 140.

Returning to FIG. 12, the criterion 5 (answer criterion) indicates the correct answer of the answer to the question given to the user. In this case, it is preferable that the reward data transmission request includes an answer from the user. The determination unit 120 compares the answer included in the reward data transmission request with the answer registered in the answer criterion 5, and if the numbers match for a predetermined number of questions or more, the criterion is satisfied. Is determined.

The standard N indicates the upper limit of items to be lent. The item whose quantity criterion is 0 is determined not to transmit reward data, assuming that the preset maximum number of loans has already been completed.

FIG. 14 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the information processing server 100 corresponding to these criteria, and further includes a clock unit 160, a problem notification information generation unit 170, and an update unit 180.

The clock unit 160 is an internal clock for obtaining the current date and time. When the determination unit 120 receives the reward data transmission request, the determination unit 120 confirms whether a time reference is set in the condition relating to the reward data transmission request. When the time reference is set, the determination unit 120 refers to the current date and time obtained by the clock unit 160 and determines whether the timing at which the reward data transmission request is received satisfies the time reference. When the time information is set as a criterion for determining whether or not to transmit reward data in this way, and when other criteria including the time criterion are satisfied, the determination unit 120 transmits the reward data. judge.

Further, when receiving the reward data transmission request, the determination unit 120 confirms whether or not an item criterion is set in the condition relating to the reward data transmission request. When the item criterion is set, the determination unit 120 stores in the user information storage unit 230 whether there is an item set in the item criterion among the items owned by the user related to the reward data transmission request. Check by referring to the user information management file. When there is an item set on the item basis in the borrowed item of the user related to the reward data transmission request, the determination unit 120 determines that the item criterion is satisfied and determines other criteria.

Information about items used for the award data transmission request may be stored. As shown in FIG. 15, the use item number is included in the reward data transmission request. The user selects an item to be used from the items stored in the storage unit 360 when performing an operation input for generating a reward data transmission request via the operation input unit 303. The award data transmission request generation unit 320 includes the item number of the selected item as a use item number in the award data transmission request and generates the award data transmission request. In the information processing server 100, the determination unit 120 determines that the item criterion is satisfied when the used item number included in the reward data transmission request matches the item number set as the item criterion. Such a configuration may be adopted.

The determination unit 120 issues a problem notification information generation instruction to the problem notification information generation unit 170 when an answer criterion is set as a reference for the case relating to the received reward data transmission request. The problem notification information generation unit 170 reads the designated problem from the problem information storage unit 240, generates problem notification information, and sends it to the transmission unit 140. The transmission unit 140 transmits the problem notification information to the transmission source user of the reward data transmission request. The receiving unit 110 receives the reward data transmission request transmitted again from the user who has received the problem notification information. The reward data transmission request includes answer information that is an answer to the problem from the user as shown in FIG. The determination unit 120 compares the user's answer indicated by the answer information with the answer criterion, and determines whether the answer is equal to or greater than a predetermined number of correct answers or a correct answer rate. If the result of the determination is that the number of correct answers is equal to or greater than the correct answer rate, the determination unit 120 checks other criteria as satisfying the answer criteria, and rewards data if all criteria are met. Is determined to be transmitted.

The determination unit 120 determines whether the quantity criterion is not 0 for the case related to the determination. If the quantity criterion is 0 even if the other criteria are satisfied, it is determined that the reward data related to the case has already been lent and the reward data is not transmitted. On the other hand, if the quantity criterion is set and the quantity criterion is not 0, or if all the other criteria are satisfied, the determination unit 120 determines to transmit reward data. At this time, the determination unit 120 outputs the item number associated with the case for which the determination has been made to the reward data reading unit 131 together with the read instruction, and also issues a condition management number and an update instruction for the quantity standard that are the number of the case. Output to the update unit 180.

The update unit 180 updates the value recorded as the quantity reference in the condition management file. Specifically, one of the quantity reference values set in the case instructed to be updated by the determination unit 120 among a plurality of cases registered in the condition management file stored in the condition storage unit 210. Perform decrement processing.

FIG. 17 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a mobile terminal device 300 corresponding to the information processing server 100 of FIG. 17 further includes a control unit 370 and a problem notification information processing unit 380. The reward data processing unit 350 includes a reward data storage unit 351 and a determination result notification information storage unit 352. In addition, the storage unit 360 also stores standby screen data that transmits a reward data transmission request and displays that it is waiting for a response from the information processing server 100, screen data that indicates that reward data has been received, and the like. Has been.

The reward data transmission request generation unit 320 generates a reward data transmission request based on the operation input from the user received by the operation input unit 303 and sends it to the wireless transmission unit 330. The reward data transmission request generation unit 320 instructs the control unit 370 to display a standby screen.

Further, the reward data transmission request generation unit 320 uses the item number stored in the storage unit 360 in the reward data transmission request to be generated based on the operation input from the operation input unit 303 as a use item number, or a problem. The answer is generated as answer information included in the reward data transmission request.

The award data storage unit 351 stores the award data received from the wireless reception unit 340 in the storage unit 360 and sends the award data to the control unit 370.

The determination result notification information processing unit 352 stores the determination result notification information received from the wireless reception unit 340 in the storage unit 360 and sends the determination result notification information to the control unit 370.

When the control unit 370 receives a standby screen display instruction related to the reward data transmission request from the reward data transmission request generation unit 320, the control unit 370 reads the standby screen data from the storage unit 360 and displays the standby screen data on the display unit 302.

When the determination result notification information is received from the determination result notification information storage unit 352 while the standby screen is displayed, the control unit 370 displays a screen that displays the content indicated by the determination result notification information. To display.

Here, when the determination result included in the determination result notification information indicates that the determination is successful, that is, content indicating that reward data is transmitted, reward data is sent thereafter. The control unit 370 displays the reward data received from the reward data storage unit 351 on the display unit 302.

The determination result notification information may include a URL indicating the address where the reward data is stored, and the sincerity fish unit 370 may display the URL on the display unit 302. When the user selects the URL via the operation input unit 303, a GET request is transmitted from the transmission unit 330, and reward data is transmitted from the information processing system 1000 that has received the GET request. You may comprise in this way.

The problem notification information processing unit 380 stores the received problem notification information in the storage unit 360 and sends the problem notification information to the control unit 370. The control unit 370 displays the problem included in the problem notification information on the display unit 302.

In the above description, the case where the reward data transmission request includes the position information indicating the current position of the user is described, but the present invention is not limited to this. The position information acquisition unit 310 periodically acquires position information indicating the current position and sends the position information to the wireless transmission unit 330, and the wireless transmission unit 330 is configured to transmit the position information to the information processing server 100. Alternatively, the current position may be updated. In this case, in the information processing system 1000, the position information is recorded as user information in the user information management file.

In the above description, the position information acquisition unit 310 of the mobile terminal device 300 is a so-called Autonomous type in which the position information is acquired independently, but the present invention is not limited to this. The position information acquisition unit 310 may calculate current position information using assist data transmitted from an assist server arranged on the network side as an MS-Based type. In addition, the position information acquisition unit 310 transmits, as an MS-Assisted type, position information related to the current position to the assist server based on a GPS signal from a GPS satellite, and the assist server transmits the position information transmitted from the mobile terminal device 300. It is possible to adopt a form in which the final position calculation is performed based on and the calculated position information is transmitted to the mobile terminal device 300 and the information processing server 100. In the information processing server 100, the determination unit 120 may perform the determination process using the position information indicating the current position of the mobile terminal device 300 transmitted from the assist server.

Also, in order to provide services in a wide range of places throughout Japan, it is necessary to arrange a large number of location ranges for transmitting reward data. That is, it is necessary to set a large number of conditions (cases) for transmitting reward data stored in the condition storage unit 210.

In this case, based on the reward data transmission request transmitted from the user, determining whether or not the criteria for all the cases stored in the condition storage unit 210 are satisfied leads to an increase in processing. Therefore, each case stored in the condition storage unit 210 may be divided into a plurality of hierarchies and grouped as shown in FIG.

The condition storage unit 210 stores a plurality of cases as conditions for transmitting reward data, and the plurality of cases are grouped. Specifically, each case in which the position reference set for each case is within a predetermined range is grouped.

Upon receiving the reward data transmission request, the determination unit 120 identifies a corresponding group based on the position of the user related to the reward data transmission request, and each case belonging to the identified group is set in the case. It is judged whether the standard is cleared.

For example, in FIG. 18, a condition management number for identifying a case set in Hakodate city in Hokkaido is selected from No00601 to No00745. When the current position of the user related to the reward data transmission request is in Kushiro city, the determination unit 120 extracts the cases No00601 to No00745 set in the corresponding Kushiro city, and the extracted cases On the other hand, it is determined whether the criteria set for each case are satisfied. When the criteria set for the case are satisfied, the award data set as the award for the case is read from the award data storage unit 220 and transmitted to the transmission source user of the award data transmission request.

Thus, one or more criteria are set as conditions for transmitting reward data, and one of such criteria is a location-related criterion. The reference is cleared when the user is located within the position range specified by the reference regarding the position. A combination of such a condition and reward data transmitted when the condition is satisfied is referred to as a case in this specification, and each case is identified by a condition management number (case management number). A plurality of items are set and registered at the same time so that a plurality of reward data can be transmitted at a plurality of positions, and a condition management file for managing each item is stored in the condition storage unit 210. In other words, the condition management file includes a case identification number for identifying each case, an item identification number for identifying reward data transmitted when the criteria are satisfied for the case, and a criterion for determining whether or not to transmit reward data. Are stored in association with each other.

Here, the cases registered in the condition management file are grouped and registered for each case whose position criteria satisfy a predetermined relationship. Based on the position information included in the reward data transmission request, the determination unit 120 identifies a group to be determined, and performs a determination process on whether a plurality of cases belonging to the group satisfy the criteria. With this configuration, the amount of processing can be reduced.

In addition, although FIG. 18 demonstrated the case where the case management number which identifies the case corresponding to every district 3 hierarchized in the district 1-the district 3 corresponding to the area of a municipal level was matched, it is restricted to this. Instead of things, you may group each project in more detail.

Note that it is preferable that the user can receive one reward data from the same item. This is to prevent a user who has once found a reward data transmission spot from continuously issuing reward data transmission requests from the spot, thereby collecting the same data innumerably to the same user.

Therefore, as illustrated in FIG. 19, the information processing server 100 preferably includes a new target item setting update unit 190.

In this case, as illustrated in FIG. 20, the user information management file stored in the user information storage unit 230 includes a user management number assigned to each user, user identification information (user ID) for identifying the user, A target case management number for identifying a case for which each user can receive reward data is associated and recorded.

When the determination unit 120 receives the reward data transmission request, the determination unit 120 specifies a case in which the user related to the reward data transmission request can receive the reward data with reference to the user information management file stored in the user information storage unit 230. To do. Next, the determination unit 120 refers to the condition management file stored in the condition storage unit 210 and determines whether the reward data transmission request has cleared the criteria set in the identified case. When all the criteria set for the case are cleared, the determination unit 120 determines that the reward data transmission request satisfies the conditions for transmitting reward data, and determines the transmission of reward data.

In this case, the determination unit 120 issues an instruction to read reward data to the reward data reading unit 131 and an instruction to generate determination result notification information to notify the determination result notification information generation unit 132 of transmitting reward data.

In addition, the determination unit 120 issues an update instruction to the target case setting update unit 190 to delete the case determined to transmit reward data from the target case of the user. The target case setting update unit 190, based on the user management number and the case management number notified from the determination unit 120, the target case management associated with the user management number in the user information management file illustrated in FIG. The user information management file is updated by deleting the case management number notified from the determination unit 120 from the numbers. Therefore, even if the user tries to acquire the reward data for the same case and sends the reward data transmission request again, the target case management number associated with the user has already been deleted, so the case indicated by the case management number The determination unit 120 does not perform the determination process.

FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing of the determination unit 120 in the case of taking the above form. The determination unit 120 determines whether the reception unit 110 has received a reward data transmission request (step S101). If no prize data transmission request has been received, it waits for a prize data transmission request to be received.

When the receiving unit 110 receives a reward data transmission request transmitted from the user, a determination target case that is a case to be determined based on the reward data transmission request is extracted (step S102). Specifically, the determination unit 120 refers to the user information management file stored in the user information storage unit 230 and extracts the target case management number associated with the user ID included in the reward data transmission request. . The target case management number is a number for identifying a case for which reward data may be transmitted for the user.

Next, the determination unit 120 selects one of the cases extracted in step S102 (step S103), and extracts each criterion set in the selected case (step S104). The reference constitutes a condition for transmitting reward data. Specifically, the determination unit 120 refers to the condition management file stored in the condition storage unit 210, and is set in the item having the same item management number as the item management number extracted in step S102. To extract the criteria.

Next, the determination unit 120 selects one of the criteria extracted in step S104 (step S105), and compares the determination item specified based on the reward data transmission request with the criterion extracted in step S104. (Step S106). The determination unit 120 transmits the reward data by performing a comparison process between the determination item identified based on the reward data transmission request and the determination item corresponding to the criterion extracted in step S105 and the extracted criterion. It is judged whether the conditions for satisfying are satisfied.

The determination unit 120 determines whether the criterion set as the condition for transmitting the reward data is cleared through the comparison process in step S106 (step S107). If the reference is not cleared, the process proceeds to step S111. On the other hand, if the reference is cleared, the process proceeds to step S108.

If the result of determination in step S107 is that the first criterion extracted in step S105 has been cleared, the determination unit 120 determines whether determination has been completed for all criteria for the case selected in step S103 (step S108). ).

As a result of the determination, if the determination for all the references is not completed, the determination unit 120 selects the next reference from the references extracted in step S104 (step S109), and returns to step S106 to select again. Comparison processing is performed against the selected standard.

On the other hand, as a result of the determination in step S108, if the determination for all the references has been completed, it is assumed that the conditions for transmitting reward data are satisfied for the case determined through steps S104 to S109. Then, it is temporarily held as a case for transmitting reward data (step S109). Specifically, the determination unit 120 temporarily stores a case management number for identifying the case in a predetermined storage area.

Next, the determination unit 120 determines whether or not all cases extracted in step S102 have been compared with the reference (step S111). If there is a case that has not yet been determined whether the criteria have been cleared for the extracted case, the next case that has not been determined is selected, and the process returns to step S104 (step S112).

On the other hand, when it is determined whether the conditions for transmitting the reward data for all the extracted cases are satisfied, that is, whether the set criteria are cleared, the determination result notification information generation unit 132 determines An instruction to generate result notification information is issued (step S113).

For example, in the case where the user information management file shown in FIG. 20 is stored in the user information storage unit 230, if a reward data transmission request is transmitted from a user whose user ID is Leonardo, the determination unit 120 determines in step S102. As the target cases, target case management numbers No01252, No01532, and No03567 associated with the user ID Leonardo in the user information management file are extracted, and the processes of steps S103 to S112 are performed on the three cases. Here, it is assumed that, as a result of the determination process, it is determined that only No01532 satisfies the condition for transmitting reward data. In this case, the determination unit 120 sends the determination result shown in FIG. 22 to the determination result notification information generation unit 132 together with the determination result notification information generation instruction. The determination result notification information generation unit 132 generates determination result notification information for notifying the user of the determination result and sends the determination result notification information to the transmission unit 140.

Returning to FIG. 21, the determination unit 120 determines whether there is a case held in step S <b> 110 (step S <b> 114). As a result of the determination, if there is no retained case, the processing is terminated assuming that there is no case that satisfies the conditions for transmitting reward data. On the other hand, if there is a retained case, the reward data reading unit 131 is instructed to read the reward data of the retained case (step S115).

Specifically, the case management number of the held case is sent to the reward data reading unit 131, and the reward data reading unit 131 that has received the case management number refers to the condition management file stored in the condition storage unit 210. The item number associated with the case management number is acquired. The reward data reading unit 131 reads the item of the acquired item number from the reward data storage unit 220 as reward data.

In addition, when there is an item held in step S110, the determination unit 120 updates an instruction to delete the item management number of the held item from the target item management number recorded in the user information management file. It outputs to the unit 190 (step S116). The target case setting update unit 190 removes the instructed case from the determination target cases recorded in association with the user, assuming that the reward data has already been transmitted to the user.

In the case where the update unit 180 updates the conditions for recognizing the reward data stored in the condition storage unit 210 as illustrated in FIG. 14, the determination unit 120 displays the reward data related to the retained case. The update unit 180 is instructed to update the condition for transmitting. It may be configured in this way.

Further, as described with reference to FIG. 11, when the authentication process for the user related to the reward data transmission request is performed, the user ID and the password included in the reward data transmission request are set between step S101 and step S102. A determination process for determining whether the combination is stored in the user information storage unit 230 may be arranged.

(Embodiment 2)
If there is no information regarding the position range in which the reward data is transmitted or other criteria, the user cannot make an appropriate reward data transmission request. Such information as a clue regarding conditions for transmitting reward data is referred to as hint information. The information processing system according to the second embodiment has a function of appropriately providing the hint information to each user. Hereinafter, it will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the description of the parts already described in the first embodiment is omitted.

FIG. 23 is a block diagram showing a configuration of the information processing server 400 according to the second embodiment.
The information processing server 400 includes a hint information processing unit 410. The database 200 also includes a hint information storage unit 250. The hint information storage unit 250 stores information serving as a clue regarding each condition stored in the condition storage unit 210.

The hint information processing unit 410 notifies the user of hint information related to a case for which reward data may be transmitted at present or in the future among the cases stored in the condition storage unit 210. Specifically, the hint notification information processing unit 410 provides hint information on a case in which reward data may be transmitted at present or in the future among the cases stored in the condition storage unit 210. The data is extracted from the storage unit 250 and sent to the transmission unit 140, and the transmission unit 140 transmits the hint information to each user.

Here, it is preferable that the hint information processing unit 410 notifies the hint information in a predetermined format in which information related to the reward data registered in the case for notifying the hint information, the case number, and the like are collected together with the hint information. In the following description, the hint information notified to the user together with the information related to the case is referred to as hint notification information. The hint information processing unit 410 generates hint notification information including information related to a case for which reward data may be transmitted at present or in the future, and hint information related to the case, and the user is transmitted from the transmission unit 140 to each user. Send to.

FIG. 24 shows an example of the hint notification information notified to the user. The hint notification information is associated with a case management number that identifies each case to be notified, an item name that is reward data in the case, and hint information that is a clue for obtaining the reward data. Are recorded.

In FIG. 24, the hint information includes hint 1 based on character data displayed on the display unit 302 of the mobile terminal device 300, and GPS position coordinate data includes hint 2 as hints relating to the initial order. Note that the mobile terminal device 300 can notify the user of the reward data transmission spot by displaying an icon indicating the reward data transmission spot on the map based on the GPS position coordinate data. However, if the icon indicating the reward data transmission spot is displayed at the position specified by the GPS position coordinates included in the hint information, acquisition of the reward data becomes too easy. When satisfy | filling, it is good also as a structure which displays the hint based on the said GPS position coordinate data. As such a predetermined condition, it is possible to be within a predetermined time zone, or to use a predetermined item for displaying a hint based on GPS position coordinates.

In FIG. 24, hint 3 for the time reference is included in the hint information. As can be seen from FIG. 24, the hint may be a direct expression or a metaphoric expression.

Here, the timing at which the hint information processing unit 410 generates the hint notification information may be set in advance, or the hint notification information may be generated based on a request from the user.

FIG. 25 is a modification of the information processing system 2000 according to the second embodiment. The receiving unit 110 receives a hint notification request for requesting notification of hint information from the user. When the hint information processing unit 410 receives the hint notification request, the hint information processing unit 410 refers to the user information management file illustrated in FIG. 20 stored in the user information storage unit 230 for the matter associated with the user related to the hint notification request. To identify. The hint information processing unit 410 extracts, from the hint information storage unit 250, hint information that is a clue to conditions for transmitting reward data registered in the case associated with the user related to the hint notification request.

FIG. 26 is a modification of the information processing system 2000 according to the second embodiment. The determination unit 120 sends to the hint information processing unit 410 the result of determination as to whether or not each criterion set for the determination target case based on the reward data transmission request is cleared. When the determination unit 120 determines that the determination item based on the reward data transmission request does not satisfy the criterion for transmitting the reward data, the hint information processing unit 410 provides hint information as a clue to the criterion that is not satisfied. Are extracted from the hint information storage unit 250. The hint information processing unit 410 sends the extracted hint information to the transmission unit 140, and transmits the hint information to the transmission source user of the reward data transmission request.

The hint information processing unit 410 may send the extracted hint information to the determination result notification information generation unit 132. The determination result notification information generation unit 132 generates determination result notification information including the determination result in the determination unit 120 and hint information that serves as a clue about a reference that has not been cleared, and sends the determination result notification information to the transmission unit 140. The transmission unit 140 transmits the determination result notification information including the hint information to the transmission source user of the reward data transmission request.

As described above, in the information processing system 2000 according to the second embodiment, the transmission unit 140 transmits hint information, which is a matter of reference as to whether or not reward data is transmitted. When the user issues an appropriate reward data transmission request according to the content indicated by the hint information, the reward data is transmitted to the user.

The database 200 is provided with a hint information storage unit 250 that stores a plurality of pieces of hint information that are clues as to whether or not to transmit reward data. The hint information processing unit (hint information extraction unit) 410 includes: Appropriate hint information is extracted from a plurality of pieces of hint information stored in the hint information storage unit 250.

For example, the reception unit 110 further receives a hint information transmission request for requesting transmission of hint information, and the hint information processing unit (hint information extraction unit) 410 performs a hint based on the hint information transmission request received by the reception unit 110. Appropriate hint information is extracted from a plurality of hint information stored in the information storage unit 250. In addition, the hint information processing unit (hint information extraction unit) 410 periodically distributes hint information regarding the case additionally updated in the condition storage unit 210 to the users registered in the user information storage unit 230. It is also good.

As hint information that the hint information processing unit (hint information extraction unit) 410 extracts, it is possible to extract hint information for a determination target case associated with each user. That is, the hint information storage unit 250 stores hint information that is a matter of reference for whether to transmit reward data for each case, and the hint information processing unit (hint information extraction unit) 410 The hint information of the case targeted for the user related to the hint information transmission request received by the receiving unit 110 is extracted from the plurality of hint information stored in the hint information storage unit 250. By configuring in this way, each user does not have to receive the hint information of the case that is not related to the user, so there is no complication.

The hint information processing unit (hint information extraction unit) 410 can also be configured to extract hint information based on the determination result in the determination unit 120. The hint information processing unit (hint information extraction unit) 410 is not satisfied when the determination unit 120 determines that the determination matter based on the reward data transmission request does not satisfy the criterion for transmitting the reward data. Hint information serving as a reference clue is extracted from the hint information storage unit 250. The transmission unit 140 transmits the hint information extracted by the hint information extraction unit 410 to the transmission source user of the reward data transmission request.

The user feels stress when he / she makes a prize data transmission request when he / she thinks that he / she will receive prize data, and fails to obtain the prize data. Here, this stress increases if you don't know what was wrong. Therefore, it is preferable that the reason why it is determined not to transmit the reward data is returned to the transmission source user of the reward data transmission request. Therefore, the determination result notification information generation unit 132 has not cleared any of the criteria related to the reason why it is determined not to transmit the reward data, that is, the criteria for transmitting the reward data. The determination result notification information including information on whether or not it is determined not to be transmitted is generated, and the transmission unit 140 is configured to transmit the determination result notification information. This is even better because the service provided by 2000 can be promoted.

Here, even if the user knows why he / she has decided not to send reward data, he / she cannot take corrective action unless he / she knows how to get reward data. There are things to do. Accordingly, the hint information processing unit (hint information extraction unit) 410 satisfies the determination when the determination unit 120 determines that the determination item based on the reward data transmission request does not satisfy the criterion for transmitting the reward data. This problem can be solved by extracting hint information that is a clue to no reference and transmitting the hint information to the transmission source user of the reward data transmission request. As described above, the hint information may be included in the determination result notification information and transmitted.

Here, if the criteria of each case stored in the condition storage unit 210 are immediately transmitted as hint information, a kind of game performance is lost and acceleration of user separation is accelerated. Therefore, the hint information may be stored in the hint information storage unit 250 in a state of being divided into a plurality of stages according to the specificity of the hint.

FIG. 27 is an example of a hint information management file that manages hint information stored in the hint information storage unit 250. In the hint information management file, hint information is associated with a case management number for identifying each case, and the hint information is used to determine whether to transmit reward data performed by the determination unit 120 for each case. The hint about the standard is registered. Further, the hints registered in the hint information are hierarchically registered. For example, the hints related to the position reference are registered in three stages of hint level 1 to hint level 3.

The hint information processing unit 410 extracts the hint of the hint Lv1 for the case to be notified of the hint information and transmits it from the transmission unit 140. Here, when the determination unit 120 determines that the reward data is not transmitted, the hint of the hint Lv2 is extracted as additional hint information. In this way, game properties can be maintained by giving hints to the user and notifying the user. Here, the hint content is more abstract and metaphorical as the hint level is smaller, and the hint content is more specific as the hint level is larger. Therefore, the probability that the user can acquire the reward data is improved by receiving the hint having a high hint level.

Here, the hint information processing unit 410 periodically distributes the hint of the hint Lv1 to the user or transmits the hint information request to the user when a hint information request is received from the user. When the unit 120 determines that the reward data is not transmitted, it may be configured to transmit as additional hint information.

FIG. 28 shows an example of the processing procedure of the hint distribution. The hint information processing unit 410 extracts the hint level 1 hint with a high abstraction from the hint information storage unit 250 from the hint information registered in each case as the basic hint information, and sends it to each user from the transmission unit 140. Transmit (step S201).

Next, the determination unit 120 determines whether a reward data transmission request has been received (step S202). If the receiving unit 110 has not received a reward data transmission request, it waits for reception. On the other hand, when a reward data transmission request is received, the condition for transmitting reward data is satisfied based on the reward data transmission request, that is, it is set as a part of the condition for transmitting reward data. It is determined whether each criterion is cleared (step S203).

As a result of the determination in step S203, when it is determined that the reward data is to be transmitted, the reward data processing unit 130 reads the reward data registered in the case and transmits it from the transmission unit 140 (step S204). On the other hand, as a result of the determination in step S203, when it is determined not to transmit the reward data, the hint information processing unit 410, among the hint information set for the case, the hint information after hint level 2 that has not been transmitted yet. Is transmitted from the transmission unit 140 to the transmission source user of the reward data transmission request (step S205).

  The information processing server 400 can distribute the hint information step by step by performing such processing.

Note that the information processing server 400 may include a program distribution unit 420 that distributes a program for performing processing required on the mobile terminal device 300 side. In this case, the database 200 includes a program storage unit 260 that stores a program to be distributed. When the program distribution unit 420 receives the program distribution request received by the reception unit 110, the program distribution unit 420 reads out the program stored in the program storage unit 260 and sends it to the transmission unit 140. The transmission unit 140 transmits the program to the transmission source user of the program distribution request.

Here, the program that is transmitted and installed in the user's mobile terminal device 300 is preferably a program that performs the following processing, for example. For example, the program causes the CPU to execute a generation step of generating a reward data transmission request packet for requesting transmission of reward data based on an operation input received by the operation input unit 303. In addition, when the data received by the wireless reception unit 340 is reward data, the program causes the CPU to execute a storage step of storing the reward data in the storage unit 360. The program also causes the CPU to execute a display control step for displaying the reward data, which is image data stored in the storage unit 360, on the display unit 302 based on a display instruction received from the user by the operation input unit 303. . Here, the program arranges thumbnail images of a plurality of reward data, which are image data stored in the storage unit 360, on the same screen, and displays them based on a display instruction received from the user by the operation input unit 303. The display control step to be displayed on the unit 302 may be executed by the CPU. In FIG. 30, thumbnail images of cards, which are reward data stored in the storage unit 360, are displayed in a matrix format of 3 columns × 4 columns.

  As described above, according to the information processing system of the present invention, by promoting the movement of the user, it is possible to promote the consumption of gold and the economic activity.

It should be noted that the expressions “acquisition” and “acquisition” used in the above description can be appropriately replaced with the term “borrowing” depending on the handling of reward data. Further, the expression “provided” can be appropriately replaced with the word “loan”.

In addition, the hint that the hint information processing unit 410 transmits to the user may be transmitted as the hint information based on the determination criterion itself stored in the condition storage unit 210. That is, the hint information processing unit 410 transmits the conditions for transmitting the reward data as hint information that is a matter of a reference for determining whether or not to transmit the reward data. Specifically, the hint information processing unit 410 transmits the determination criterion itself as to whether or not to transmit reward data performed by the determination unit 120 to the user as hint information. You may comprise in this way. By notifying the user of the clear standard itself, the user can take actions necessary to acquire reward data without hesitation. In addition, the hint information processing unit 410 may transmit a part of a plurality of determination criteria as to whether or not to transmit reward data performed by the determination unit 120 to the user as hint information.

In addition, since the position of the user can be identified with the position of the mobile terminal device 300, the word “user” can be appropriately replaced with the word “mobile terminal device”. Further, the term “reward data” can be appropriately replaced with the expressions “item” and “card”, both of which are intangible assets in data format.

Note that image data may be used as a determination criterion performed by the determination unit 120. The mobile terminal device 300 transmits the image data captured by the camera 306 in a reward data transmission request. In the condition storage unit 210, image data is registered as a determination criterion. In the information processing server 100, the determination unit 120 performs a matching process between the image data included in the reward data transmission request and the image data set as the criterion. It is determined that the criterion is cleared when a predetermined correlation or more is obtained. In this way, by capturing an image of a predetermined position with a camera and sending it, the user can be guided to the position.

In addition, a charging processing unit that charges the user based on the number of times the reward data transmission request is transmitted may be provided. In this case, the user information stored in the user information storage unit 230 is recorded together with the transmission history of the reward data transmission request, and the charging processing unit calculates the charging amount based on the transmission history.

Moreover, it is preferable that the communication between the information processing server and the mobile terminal device is encrypted. In this case, a decryption unit for decrypting various encrypted information transmitted from the mobile terminal device, such as a reward data transmission request encrypted after the reception unit in the information processing server, is arranged. In addition, an encryption unit that encrypts information to be transmitted to the mobile terminal device, such as reward data, is disposed in front of the transmission unit. Here, different encryption keys are registered in the user information storage unit 230 for each user, and the decryption unit or encryption unit uses the encryption key of the transmission source or transmission destination user to perform decryption processing or encryption. It is even better if the processing is performed. The encryption key may be transmitted to the user's portable terminal device together with the program distributed from the program distribution unit 420. The mobile terminal device stores the encryption key received together with the distribution program in the internal storage unit, and when performing communication with the information processing server, the mobile terminal device uses the encryption key stored in the storage unit to perform decryption processing or encryption. Information should be received and transmitted after processing.

On the mobile terminal device side, the received reward data in the encrypted state is stored in the storage unit as it is, and when the reward data that is image data is displayed by the browser using the program, the encryption key is used. It is more preferable that the display is performed after decoding. In this case, even if illegal copying of the reward data is performed, the reward data stored in the storage unit is encrypted, so that it can be displayed only by the mobile terminal device storing the encryption key. It is because it can do.

Also, as shown in FIG. 30, in the information processing server, the reward data processing unit reads the thumbnail data of the reward data together with the reward data and transmits it to the mobile terminal device so that the plurality of reward data can be easily displayed. This is even better. In this case, the reward data storage unit 220 stores the thumbnail image of the reward data in a state associated with the reward data that is the main data.

Moreover, each function of the information processing server described above may be divided into a plurality of servers. Each function of the information processing server described above may be realized by cooperation of hardware and software by causing an information processing apparatus such as a CPU to execute a predetermined program, or may be realized by hardware alone. good.

In addition, the information processing system mentioned above may be called by names, such as an economic activation system and a service provision system.

In addition, the above-described reward data is often item data or card data, and these words described above can be appropriately combined and captured. The language used to define the reward data depends on the content of the reward data.

In the above description, the mobile terminal device has been described assuming a so-called mobile phone, smartphone, or tablet mobile terminal device, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the head-mounted device can be a portable terminal device. In this case, a transmissive display or a reflective display for displaying an image is arranged as a display unit in the head mounted device. By playing the game with a head-mounted display, it is possible to grasp and play the current situation while moving naturally.

In addition, each unit of each device described above may be realized using a semiconductor integrated circuit. Here, the integrated circuit may be referred to as LSI, VLSI, or ULSI.

Further, the present invention described above can be configured as follows.
