[Database configuration of restaurant information server]
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a configuration of a database included in the restaurant information providing server 100.

  As shown in the figure, the restaurant information providing server 100 has a restaurant information database 31, a user information database 32, and a preference information database 33 in the storage unit 18.

  The restaurant information database 31 stores, for each restaurant, the restaurant name, location / area information, telephone number, ID (store ID) for identifying the restaurant, and the category of the restaurant business category / service. Information, contents introducing the restaurant, that is, information indicating the features of the store such as a PR statement of the store, event information performed by the restaurant, menu provided by the restaurant, business hours, website URL, etc. are stored. doing.

  The area information is, for example, in units of prefectures, but information may be stored in units of a narrower range such as municipalities. The category information may include, for example, main categories such as Japanese food, Chinese, Italian, French, and yakiniku, and more detailed subcategories such as yakitori and tempura in Japanese food, pasta and pizza in Italian, and the like.

  The user information database 32 stores information about a user who owns the user terminal 200 and is a user (member) of a restaurant information service through the portal site provided by the restaurant information providing server 100. Specifically, the user information database 32 stores information such as a user ID, a password, a name, an e-mail address, a telephone number, an address, an age (layer), a sex, and a birthday for each user.

  In addition, the user information database 32 includes the browsing history or reservation history of restaurant information via the portal site by the user of each user terminal 200, the price information of category information and menu (or course) included in the restaurant information. Etc. may be stored in association with each other. Further, when the user registers favorite restaurants and categories on the portal site, the favorite information is also stored in the user information database 32.

  The preference information database 33 stores preference information for the restaurant of the user of the user terminal 200. The preference information is based on at least category information. For example, the preference information is based on category information associated with each user's browsing history and reservation history in the user information database 32, or category information included in the favorite information. Generated for each user.

  In addition, the preference information may be information indicating a preference for a certain attribute of a restaurant included in each restaurant information such as “Healthy”, “Store with a night view”, “For girls' association”, and the like. Such preference information is also generated by extracting attributes included as restaurant information of restaurants that have been viewed or reserved based on the browsing history or reservation history. In addition, preference information may be extracted from, for example, a user's comment on a restaurant.

  Each of these databases is used by referring to each other as necessary in a graph DB screen generation process and an operation on the graph DB screen by the restaurant information providing server 100 described later.

[Operation of restaurant information provision server]
Next, operation | movement of the restaurant information provision server 100 comprised as mentioned above is demonstrated. The operation is executed in cooperation with the hardware such as the CPU 11 and the communication unit 19 of the restaurant information providing server 100 and the software stored in the storage unit 18. In the following description, for the sake of convenience, the CPU 11 is an operation subject.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing according to an operation on the graph DB screen by the restaurant information providing server 100.

  As shown in the figure, the CPU 11 of the restaurant information providing server 100 first determines whether or not the graph DB screen has been accessed from the restaurant terminal 300 via the management screen (step 41).

  If it is determined that the graph DB screen has been accessed (Yes), the CPU 11 obtains user information and attribute information corresponding to the restaurant where the access source restaurant terminal 300 exists, the user information database 32 and the restaurant information database. 31 is extracted (step 42). That is, CPU11 extracts the information regarding the attribute which the restaurant of the restaurant terminal 300 of an access origin has, and the information of the user who likes the attribute of the said restaurant.

  Subsequently, the CPU 11 generates a graph DB having the extracted user information as a user node and attribute information as an attribute node (step 43). At this time, the CPU 11 sets each user node and attribute node on the graph DB as a graphical user interface that can be operated from the restaurant terminal 300.

  Specifically, each user node is associated with the corresponding user ID, e-mail address, telephone number, etc., and each attribute node is recommended information in restaurant information including the corresponding attribute. And menu information are associated with each other, and in response to an operation on each node, for example, information transmission to the user and restaurant information update processing can be executed.

  Then, CPU11 transmits the graph DB screen which published the produced | generated graph DB to the restaurant terminal 300 (step 44).

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the graph DB screen.

  As shown in the figure, the graph DB screen includes a plurality of user node images 51, a plurality of attribute node images 52, and an arrow 53 connecting them.

  Each attribute node image 52 corresponds to an attribute of a restaurant corresponding to the access source restaurant terminal 300. In the figure, attribute node images 52 corresponding to four attributes of “Italian”, “Organic”, “Night view is visible”, and “Girls Association” are arranged in a rhombus shape, for example.

  Each user node image 51 corresponds to a user who likes an attribute corresponding to the attribute node image 52. The preference relationship is represented by an arrow 53 that connects the two (going from the user node image 51 to the attribute node image 52). On the arrow 53, characters such as “like” indicating the preference are also displayed.

  That is, for example, the user corresponding to the user node image 51 connected to the attribute node image 52 of “Italian” by the arrow 53 likes Italian (dish), and is connected to the attribute node image 52 of “organic” by the arrow 53. The user corresponding to the received user node image 51 likes organic (dish). As described above, these preference relationships are extracted from the user's browsing history and reservation history regarding restaurant information on the portal site, or from the user's comments on restaurants and the like.

  Further, the number of attributes that one user likes is not limited to one, and there are also user node images 51 connected to a plurality of attribute node images 52 by arrows 53 as shown in FIG. That is, when one user likes a plurality of attributes related to the restaurant, the CPU 11 has a user node image corresponding to the user between a plurality of attribute node images 52 corresponding to the plurality of attributes. The graph DB screen is generated so that 51 is arranged.

  Returning to FIG. 4, the CPU 11 subsequently determines whether or not there is an operation on the user node image 51 from the restaurant terminal 300 on the graph DB screen (step 45).

  If it is determined that an operation has been performed on the user node image 51 (Yes), the CPU 11 displays a function selection dialog for a restaurant information transmission function to the user corresponding to the user node image 51 (step 46).

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a state where a function selection dialog for restaurant information transmission is displayed on the graph DB screen. As shown in the figure, when an operation for selecting any one of the user node images 51 (for example, click / tap) is input from the restaurant terminal 300, the CPU 11 sends the user corresponding to the user node image 51 to the user. For example, a function selection dialog 61 for selecting any one of a plurality of restaurant information transmission functions is displayed in the vicinity of the selected user node image 51.

  In the example of the figure, a mail magazine transmission function and a coupon transmission function to the user are displayed as options, but the transmission function is not limited to these.

  Returning to FIG. 4, the CPU 11 determines whether or not an operation for selecting any one of the transmission functions is input from the restaurant terminal 300 on the function selection dialog 61 (step 47).

  When it is determined that a selection operation for any of the transmission functions has been input (Yes), the CPU 11 selects the restaurant information (e-mail magazine or coupon in the example of FIG. 6) corresponding to the selected transmission function. The user corresponding to the user node image 51 is transmitted to the contact address such as the mail address or telephone number of the user (step 48). The e-mail magazine or coupon may be transmitted as an e-mail or a message of a messenger application.

  If it is determined in step 45 that there is no operation on the user node image 51 (Yes), the CPU 11 determines whether there is an operation on the attribute node image 52 (step 49).

  If it is determined that there has been an operation on the attribute node image 52 (Yes), the CPU 11 displays a dialog for selecting a restaurant information update function on the restaurant information providing site regarding the attribute corresponding to the attribute node image 51 (step). 50).

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a state where a function selection dialog for updating restaurant information is displayed on the graph DB screen. As shown in the figure, when a selection operation (for example, click / tap) of any attribute node image 51 is input from the restaurant terminal 300, the CPU 11 attributes (keywords) corresponding to the attribute node image 51. Thus, for example, a function selection dialog 61 for selecting any one of the plurality of restaurant information update functions on the restaurant information providing site is displayed in the vicinity of the selected attribute node image 52.

  In the example of the figure, the function to update the sticking information on the restaurant information providing site corresponding to the restaurant terminal 300 of the access source and the menu information on the site are updated by the selected attribute (keyword). Are displayed as options, but the update function is not limited to these.

  The sticking information update function is, for example, sticking information displayed on the top page on the restaurant information providing site of the above-mentioned restaurant, information including the selected attribute (keyword) (in the example of FIG. It is a function to update to "information including".

  The menu information update function is, for example, menu information displayed on a menu page on the restaurant information providing site, a menu including the selected attribute (keyword) (in the example of FIG. This is a function for updating so that the menu is displayed at the top.

  Returning to FIG. 4, the CPU 11 determines whether or not an operation for selecting any update function is input from the restaurant terminal 300 on the function selection dialog 61 (step 51).

  When it is determined that the selection operation for any of the update functions has been input (Yes), the CPU 11 determines the restaurant information on the restaurant information providing site according to the selected update function (in the example of FIG. Information or menu information) is updated with the attribute (keyword) corresponding to the selected attribute node image 51 (step 52).

  The CPU 11 repeats the above processing every time there is an access to the graph DB screen from each restaurant terminal 300 and every time there is an operation on the user node image 51 or the attribute node image 52.

[Summary]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, the restaurant information providing server 100 can cause the restaurant side to grasp the relationship between the user and the attribute at a glance by using the graph DB, and the user node image 51 and the attribute. By generating a graph DB screen using the node image 52 as a user interface, it is possible to easily narrow down the user that the restaurant side wants to target or the attributes that the user likes, and provide restaurant information provision processing to a specific user terminal (email Promotional activities such as transmission of magazines and coupons) and restaurant information providing sites for specific users (update of sticking information, menu information, etc.) can be executed.

[Modification]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

  In the above embodiment, when the user corresponding to the user node image 51 on the graph DB screen or the attribute corresponding to the attribute node image 52 satisfies a predetermined condition, for example, as shown in FIG. The user node image 51 or the attribute node image 52 may be highlighted. In the example shown in the figure, since there are many users who prefer both “Italian” and “organic” attributes, the attribute node image 52 corresponding to these attributes and the attribute node image 52 are connected by an arrow 53. The user node image 51 is highlighted with a bold circle.

  Here, the predetermined condition is, for example, that the number of users equal to or greater than the threshold value likes a specific attribute, or that the specific attribute is favored by a number of users equal to or greater than the threshold value. Not limited. Thereby, the restaurant side can easily grasp which user or attribute to pay particular attention to.

  In addition, the restaurant information providing server 100 detects the selected attribute when an operation (for example, double click or long press) of selecting at least one attribute node image 52 among the plurality of attribute node images 52 is detected. The graph DB screen may be updated so that only the user node image 51 corresponding to the user who likes the attribute corresponding to the node image 52 is displayed.

  As a result, the user node image 51 having a relationship with the attribute node image 52 is narrowed down and displayed by the selection operation of one attribute node image 52, so that the restaurant side has a specific attribute and a user The relationship can be easily grasped. This is effective, for example, when there are many attributes or users and it is difficult to see the relationship between them.

  In the above-described embodiment, when a selection operation of the restaurant terminal 300 for the user node image 51 or the attribute node image 52 on the graph DB screen is input, one is selected from a plurality of transmission functions or update functions. The function selection dialog 61 is displayed, but only one transmission function or update function may be assigned to each user node image 51 and attribute node image 52. Is not displayed, and the transmission function or the update function is immediately executed according to the selection operation. The plurality of functions may be assigned to different types of operations (for example, one click / double click, tap / long press, etc.) by the restaurant terminal 300, and in this case, the function selection dialog 61 is displayed. Instead, the transmission function or the update function may be executed immediately in accordance with each type of operation.

  In the above-described embodiment, each user expressed as the user node image 51 on the graph DB screen is a user who likes an attribute of one restaurant, and each attribute expressed as the attribute node image 52 is 1 It was an attribute of two restaurants. However, the user represented by the user node image 51 may be a user who likes the attributes of different restaurants, and the attributes represented by the attribute node image 52 may be different restaurants. It may be an attribute having. That is, the graph DB screen may indicate various user preference relationships with respect to various restaurant attributes, regardless of the access source restaurant. Thereby, when it is found that many users prefer attributes that the restaurant does not have, the restaurant can take measures such as strengthening the work related to the attributes.

  In the above-described embodiment, each user node image 51 may be associated with position information of each user. The position information may be transmitted from the user terminal 200 to the restaurant information providing server 100 in real time using, for example, a GPS (Global Positioning System) or an IP (Internet Protocol) address, or a user information database. It may correspond to the address of the user in 32. In this case, the restaurant information providing server 100 includes a user node image 51 of a user having position information within a predetermined distance range from the location of the restaurant corresponding to the access source restaurant terminal 300 among the user node images 51. May be displayed separately (highlighted) from other user node images 51. Thereby, the restaurant can carry out a sales promotion with a pinpoint for a user who is present at a position close to the store (the possibility of coming to the store is higher than other users).

  In the above-described embodiment, the user node image 51 and the user correspond one-to-one on the graph DB screen. However, one user node image 51 may correspond to a plurality of users. At that time, the size of the user node image 51 may be changed according to the number of users corresponding to each user node image 51. Further, the user node image 51 having a particularly large number of users (greater than or equal to the threshold value) may be further highlighted, such as a color change.

  In the graph DB screens of FIGS. 4 to 8 of the above-described embodiment, user nodes are represented by small circles, attribute nodes are represented by large circles, attribute nodes are arranged in a diamond shape, and the user nodes are connected by arrows. However, the form of the graph DB is not limited to this, and can take various forms.

  In the above-described embodiment, the user node and the attribute node are expressed as the user node image and the attribute node image on the graph DB screen, respectively. However, the user node and the attribute node may be any object that functions as a user interface capable of the transmission process and the update process, and may be expressed as text instead of an image.

  In the above-described embodiment, the user's preference relationship with respect to the attributes of the restaurant is expressed as a graph DB. However, the expression target of the graph DB is not limited to a restaurant, for example, a golf course, a karaoke shop, a bowling alley, etc. The user's preferences for the attributes (genre, location, service content, products, etc.) of various facilities including shops, recreational facilities, massage and beauty treatment facilities, hotels and inns, etc. Is also expressed as a graph DB, and each facility or store uses the graph DB screen as a user interface to transmit various facility information to the user or update a website that provides each facility information. May be executed.
