An information processing system 10 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. Each drawing is an illustration for explaining this embodiment, and the system configuration, block diagram, flowchart, etc. shown in each drawing may be modified or changed within the scope that does not cause any technical problems. You can. Further, in this specification and the drawings, constituent elements having substantially the same functional configurations are designated by the same reference numerals and redundant explanation will be omitted.

<System overview>
The information processing system 10 according to the present embodiment is a system for providing point services related to point collection and consumption to the user 3 via a network N such as the Internet network. The "points" described in this embodiment are a general term for electronic data that has some kind of economic value, and the "points" may be read as scores, coins, stamps, money, dollars, miles, etc. . As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing system 10 includes at least one server 20 and at least one user terminal 30 as main components. These main components are connected to each other through a network N so that they can be accessed.

In the point service provided by the information processing system 10, points are given to the user 3 according to the user's 3 behavior record data. The points that the information processing system 10 grants to the user 3 are not points issued in exchange for payment such as the purchase of a product or service (in other words, payment is not an essential condition for issuing points); Points are issued based on behavioral record data related to daily activities such as walking and moving. The behavior record data is data recorded and collected based on the daily behavior of the user 3, and may be quantitative data or qualitative data. Further, the behavior record data may be collected by a physical measurement means such as a sensor, or may be collected by the user 3's input operation.

Points issued according to this behavior record data may be exchangeable for monetary electronic data such as points from other payment services such as credit cards, electronic money, and coupons that can be used at physical stores or online stores. good. However, the use of points according to action record data is not limited to exchange for monetary electronic data. Rather, in the point service of the information processing system 10, by consuming a predetermined amount of points, the points can be directly exchanged for goods and/or services. Specifically, the user 3 who has collected points can exchange a predetermined amount of points for benefits by visiting a point exchange point. The information processing system 10 detects that the user 3 has visited a point exchange point, and gives the user 3 the authority to consume points and acquire benefits.

The point exchange point is a point in the real world where the user 3 can use points to obtain benefits (that is, a point where points can be consumed and exchanged for benefits). The conditions for points set as point exchange points are not particularly limited. For example, point exchange points may be facilities that provide goods and/or services such as stores, commercial complexes, entertainment facilities, public facilities, etc. It may also be any other location that does not involve the provision of goods and services. Other points include, for example, points that are the setting of anime, manga, movies, dramas, etc., points connected to famous people or great people, parks, and other tourist spots.

Examples of benefits that can be exchanged for points include tangible prizes, digital content (e.g., music, videos, etc.), and services provided to user 3 at point exchange points. Preferably, it is included. If the benefit is a prize, a housing 50 for providing the prize to the user 3 may be installed at the point exchange point. Further, the means for delivering the prize to be exchanged for points to the user 3 may not be prepared at the point exchange point, and the prize itself to be exchanged for points may not be prepared at the point exchange point.

For example, when a prize to be given to a user 3 who visits a point exchange point is determined, information about the prize and information about the user 3 who acquired the prize are linked, and this information is sent from the user terminal 30. The delivery company terminal 70 of the delivery company 7 is notified via the server 20 . The delivery company 7 that receives the notification may deliver the prize, which is the privilege exchanged for the points, to the home of the user 3. The content of the prize to be exchanged for points is determined at the point exchange point, but the prize may be delivered using a delivery service. Point exchange points may include locations where the housing 50 is installed and/or locations where the housing 50 is not installed.

The benefit may be determined by the selection of the user 3, or may be determined by a lottery that randomly selects at least one benefit from among a plurality of benefit candidates. When determining the content of the benefit by lottery, the lottery may be performed using the housing 50. In other words, the housing 50 may be a lottery machine that randomly selects at least one product from among a plurality of products, such as a capsule toy. Further, the lottery may be a lottery in which at least one benefit is randomly selected from among a plurality of benefit candidates online. Such an online lottery (hereinafter referred to as an online lottery) can originally be performed anywhere without being restricted by location, but the online lottery in the information processing system 10 is The condition is that you visit a point exchange point, and it can only be performed at a point exchange point. That is, in the online lottery of the information processing system 10, restrictions are placed on the current location of the user 3 (corresponding to the current location of the user terminal 30).

In the case where the content of benefits is determined by a lottery, each point exchange point may be a point where only either a lottery using the housing 50 or an online lottery can be executed, or a lottery using the housing 50 and an online lottery can be performed. There may be locations where both online drawings are possible.

The server 20 and user terminal 30 that construct the information processing system 10 will be described in detail below.

<Server configuration>
The server 20 is an information processing device used to operate and manage the point service, and is installed in the business operator 1 that provides the point service. The server 20 as an information processing device may be, for example, a general-purpose computer such as a workstation or a personal computer, or may be logically constructed using cloud computing technology.

As shown in FIG. 2, the server 20 exchanges data between a control unit 21 that controls the entire server 20, a storage unit 22 that stores various data and application programs, and a user terminal 30 via a network N. It has a server communication section 23 that transmits and receives data.

<Control unit (server)>
The control unit 21 transfers data between each element of the server 20 (for example, transfers data between the control unit 21 and the storage unit 22, transfers data between the control unit 21 and the server communication unit 23, etc.). It is also a component that controls the entire server 20. The control unit 21 has a function of executing various information processing necessary for providing point services, and this function of the control unit 21 is performed using a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and/or a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). This is realized by a processing unit such as the above reading data and programs stored in a predetermined storage and executing various programs in the work area of the memory.

The control unit 21 has a plurality of functional units depending on the type of information processing to be executed. For example, the control unit 21 may include a point giving unit 210, a position determining unit 213, a lottery execution unit 214, and a point fluctuation processing unit 215 as functional units. A part or all of these functional units may be included in the control unit 31 of the user terminal 30.

The point giving unit 210 executes a process of giving points to the user 3. The process of giving points is executed based on predetermined conditions, and a plurality of conditions may be set as conditions for the user 3 to acquire points. In the information processing system 10, the behavior record data of the user 3 is set as a condition for point granting, and the point granting unit 210 at least performs a process of granting points to the user 3 according to the behavior record data. It has a first point giving unit 211 that executes the operation.

The action record data is data collected and accumulated based on the daily actions of the user 3. The behavior record data set as a condition for awarding points is not necessarily limited, but includes the number of steps based on walking and running, distance traveled (or distance traveled), calories burned through exercise, and calories intake from meals. , and a score related to sleep quality. From the viewpoint of creating a synergistic effect with the consumption of points, which will be described later, it is preferable that the first point granting unit 211 grants points to the user 3 according to the number of steps and/or the distance traveled. It is more preferable to give the user 3 both points and points according to the travel distance. Furthermore, when the travel distance is employed as action record data, the travel method for which the travel distance is calculated may be limited to walking and running by the user 3 himself, but it is preferable that no restrictions be placed on the travel method. In other words, not only the walking and running of the user 3 himself/herself, but also the transportation methods using vehicles such as bicycles, cars, trains, boats, and airplanes may be set as targets for calculating the travel distance.

The above action record data is collected at the user terminal 30 described later, and the collected action record data is transmitted from the terminal communication section 37 to the first point giving section 211 via the server communication section 23. When the first point giving unit 211 receives the action record data from the user terminal 30, it executes a process of giving points. When performing this point granting process, the first point granting unit 211 may perform a process of converting action record data into points. In the process of converting action record data into points, a conversion rate may be set.

The conversion rate may be set as appropriate depending on the type of action record data. For example, for the number of steps, set the conversion rate to 0.01 points/steps (conversion rate that allows you to earn 1 point for every 100 steps), or for distance traveled, set the conversion rate to 10 points/km (10 points for 1 km of travel). It is conceivable to set it to a conversion rate that can be obtained. The conversion rate may be set as a fixed value or as a variable value. If the conversion rate is a variable value, the conversion rate may be changed uniformly for all users 3 based on predetermined conditions (for example, changing the conversion rate for a limited time campaign), or it may be changed for each user 3. (For example, the conversion rate may be changed according to the information of the user 3 or the usage history of the point service.)

Furthermore, in the process of converting action record data into points, a minimum exchange unit may be set. The minimum exchange unit shown here means the minimum amount of action record data that can be converted into points. For example, the number of steps can be converted into a predetermined point in units of 1000 steps (minimum exchange unit 1000 steps). , a setting that allows the travel distance to be converted into points in units of 3 km can be considered. The process of converting action record data into points may be performed based on the settings of both the conversion rate and the minimum exchange unit. Similarly to the conversion rate, the minimum exchange unit may be set as a fixed value or may be set as a variable value. When the minimum exchange unit is set to a variable value, the minimum exchange unit may be uniformly changed for all users 3 based on predetermined conditions, or the minimum exchange unit may be set to a specification that can be changed for each user 3. You can.

The process of converting the action record data into points may be automatically executed using the action record data reaching the minimum exchange unit as a trigger, or may be executed using the user 3's selection as a trigger. In the latter case, after a predetermined amount of action record data has been accumulated, the user 3 operates the user terminal 30 and selects to convert the accumulated action record data into points, thereby obtaining operation information regarding point acquisition. is generated. This operation information includes information such as the amount of behavior record data to be converted into points. Allocate points accordingly. In this case, the conversion rate may be changed depending on the amount of behavior record data to be converted into points (for example, the conversion rate may be set so that the larger the amount of accumulated behavior record data, the more points can be earned. ).

In the above, the point granting process was exemplified assuming action record data expressed quantitatively, but the action record data may be data expressed qualitatively. For example, the first point granting unit 211 may set the user 3 to set a target value of action record data in a predetermined period (for example, a weekly target value regarding a life log such as a sleep score or calorie intake, a target value of the number of steps, etc.) A predetermined amount of points may be awarded to the user 3 when the user 3 receives an operation to set a daily target value for consumed calories, etc., and achieves the target value. Further, even if the target value is not achieved, a predetermined amount of points may be awarded at the expiration of the period in which the target value is set, and more points may be awarded when the target value is achieved. Note that even when setting a target value for the action record data, the action record data may be expressed quantitatively and the point awarding process may be executed; for example, points may be given to the user 3 according to the goal achievement rate. You can.

The first point giving unit 211 may perform a process of adding bonus points to the points determined according to the action record data. For example, when executing the award of points according to the action record data, processing for adding bonus points may be executed on the condition that the user 3 views an advertisement transmitted to the user terminal 30. In this case, the user 3 may be allowed to select whether or not to view the advertisement. Further, when awarding points according to the action record data, processing such as an online lottery or roulette may be performed, and bonus points may be added according to the processing results. The process of adding bonus points may be performed by combining viewing of advertisements and means such as drawing lots or playing roulette.

In addition, the expression "bonus points" in the above is a name to simplify the explanation, and bonus points are integrated with regular points (points according to behavior record data) and are the same as regular points. It may also be managed as data. In other words, in the point service provided by the information processing system 10, bonus points may be treated as the same points as points determined according to action record data, although the conditions for giving them differ, and bonus points are determined according to the bonus points and action record data. It is not necessary to manage them separately from points.

In addition to the first point giving unit 211, the point giving unit 210 may have a function of giving points based on conditions other than action record data. For example, it is preferable that the point giving unit 210 includes a second point giving unit 212 that executes a process of giving a predetermined amount of points to the user 3 who has visited a point earning point.

Here, the points-earnable point is a point in the real world where the user 3 can earn points regardless of action record data. The conditions for points to be set as point-earnable points are not particularly limited. For example, point-earnable points may be facilities that provide products and/or services, such as stores, commercial complexes, entertainment facilities, and public facilities. It may also be a location where products and services are not provided. Other points include, for example, points that are the setting of anime, manga, movies, dramas, etc., points connected to famous people or great people, parks, and other tourist spots.

The point earning point and the point exchange point may be set at different points, or may be set at overlapping points. It is preferable that the point exchange points are one or more points selected from points that can be earned. In other words, points where points can be earned include point exchange points where points can be consumed and rewards can be acquired, and points where points can be earned but are not eligible for point consumption (hereinafter referred to as "point award points"). It is preferable that both of the above are included. By having both a point exchange point and a point granting point, the first point granting unit 211 can earn points while the user 3 moves to the point redeeming point in order to obtain benefits. It is also possible to stop by a point awarding point and earn points using the second point awarding section 212, making it possible to create a high level of gameplay with respect to point collection and point consumption.

When the second point granting unit 212 detects that the user 3 has visited a point-earnable point, the second point granting unit 212 may perform a process of automatically granting points to the user 3, or may perform processing to automatically grant points to the user 3. When the check-in information transmitted from 30 is received, a process of giving points may be executed. In the latter case, the check-in information is generated, for example, when the user 3 who visits the point-earning point taps (clicks) a check-in button displayed on the screen of the user terminal 30. At this time, the second point giving unit 212 determines whether or not the user 3 is visiting a point earning point, and for the user 3 who is determined to be visiting a predetermined point earning point. Processing to permit execution of check-in may be executed. Permitting execution of check-in may be, for example, a process of making the check-in button tappable (clickable). The determination of whether or not the user is visiting may be performed by the same method as the determination performed by the position determination unit 213 described later.

In the point granting process by the second point granting unit 212, in order to prevent one user 3 from checking in consecutively within a short period of time at the same point earning point, the time (period) until the next check-in is ) may be set. For example, the time until the next check-in may be set to 24 hours, and check-ins at the same point earning point may be limited to once a day. Furthermore, the number of times one user 3 can check in at the same points earning point within a predetermined period may be limited. For example, the number of check-ins at the same points-earnable location may be limited to a maximum of three times in one week.

The second point giving unit 212 refers to the check-in history of each user 3, and calculates points for each user 3 that do not satisfy check-in conditions at the same point, such as the time until the next check-in or the number of check-ins. You may also perform a process of specifying the points that can be obtained. In this case, the second point giving unit 212 transmits information on the identified points to a display control unit 314 (described later), and the display control unit 314 uses the received information to display a list of point earning points and/or a map display. You may also execute processing to reflect the information. Furthermore, when awarding points, the second point awarding unit 212 may perform a process of determining whether or not the check-in history of the user 3 satisfies check-in conditions for the same location. In this case, the second point granting unit 212 permits execution of check-in when both the determination regarding the visit and the determination regarding the check-in condition to the same location satisfy the set conditions. The determination regarding check-in conditions to the same location may be performed before the determination regarding the visit, or may be performed after the determination regarding the visit.

The number of points given by the second point giving unit 212 may be a fixed value or a variable value. When changing the number of points, the number of points that can be earned may be changed uniformly at all points that can be earned, or the number of points can be changed uniformly at all points that can be earned, or the number of points can be changed for each group of points that can be earned, such as stores belonging to a specific franchise chain. may be varied. From the point of view of adding a higher level of gameplay to the collection of points, it is preferable that the number of points can be changed for each point earning point, and the point fluctuation processing unit 215, which will be described later, handles fluctuations in the number of points for each point earning point. You may also execute a process to control.

The second point granting unit 212, like the first point granting unit 211, may perform a process of adding bonus points to the points awarded by visiting points where points can be earned. For example, when awarding points for executing a check-in, processing may be performed to add bonus points on the condition that the user 3 views an advertisement transmitted to the user terminal 30. In this case, the user 3 may be allowed to select whether or not to view the advertisement. Furthermore, when awarding points for executing a check-in, processing such as an online lottery or roulette may be performed, and bonus points may be added according to the processing results. The process of adding bonus points may be performed by combining viewing of advertisements and means such as drawing lots or playing roulette.

The points given by the first point giving section 211 and the points given by the second point giving section 212 may be managed separately after the points are given, or these points may be managed by integrating them. Points may be managed without making distinctions based on different granting processes. The points given to the user 3 by the point giving unit 210 are stored in the user information storage unit 222, which will be described later, as points owned by the user 3, in association with an ID that identifies the user 3.

In addition to the above-mentioned first point giving section 211 and second point giving section 212, the point giving section 210 also provides information to the user 3 under conditions different from those of the first point giving section 211 and the second point giving section 212. It may have a function of giving points. For example, in the explanation of the first point granting unit 211 and the second point granting unit 212, it has been exemplified that points may be added as a bonus by viewing advertisements, but the point granting unit 210 is based on action record data. It has a function that executes the process of awarding points only for viewing advertisements, without awarding points and/or awarding points based on visiting (check-in) to points where points can be earned. Good too. In addition, the point granting unit 210 is configured to respond to events such as stamp rallies, mystery-solving games held at predetermined points (point exchange points and/or point acquisition points), and to respond to the execution and/or achievement of the event. It may also have a function of executing a process of giving points to the user 3. In this case, the event is preferably an event that requires going to at least one location. As mentioned above, points awarded by the first point granting section 211 and/or the second point granting section 212 may also be awarded based on requirements different from those of the first point granting section 211 and the second point granting section 212. 212, and may be managed without making any distinction based on the difference in the granting process.

The position determining unit 213 has a function of executing processing related to the exchange of points and benefits. Specifically, the position determination unit 213 executes a process (determination process) for determining whether the user 3 is visiting a point exchange point based on the user 3's position information. Then, the location determining unit 213 performs a process (authorization process) of granting the user 3 who is determined to be visiting a predetermined point exchange point the authority to consume a predetermined amount of points and acquire a benefit. Execute.

The position information of the user 3 used in the determination process of the position determination unit 213 is data representing the current position of the user 3 in the real world (the current position of the user terminal 30), and is used for acquiring the position information of the user terminal 30. 312 and transmitted to the position determination section 213. The method for specifying the location information of the user 3 is not particularly limited. For example, the location information of the user 3 may be specified using GPS or a WiFi access point, and may include latitude and longitude coordinates indicating the current location. In this case, the position determination unit 213 determines that the position information of the user 3 sent from the position information acquisition unit 312 is within a predetermined range centered on the position coordinates of the point exchange point (for example, the position coordinates of the point exchange point). It may be determined whether the user 3 is visiting a point exchange point by detecting that the user 3 has entered the point (within a diameter of ~ m centered on the point).

The position determination unit 213 may perform the determination process using a beacon. For example, a beacon that emits radio waves for one-way traffic is installed at point exchange points. When the user terminal 30 receives the radio waves from the beacon, the location information acquisition unit 312 acquires the beacon reaction information of the user 3, including the time when the radio waves were received from the beacon, information on the installation location of the beacon, etc. It may be generated as position information and transmitted to the position determination unit 213. The position determination unit 213 may determine that the user 3 is visiting a point exchange point corresponding to the beacon reaction information by receiving the beacon reaction information as position information.

The location information of the user 3 may be specified using a QR code (registered trademark) or an NFC tag (NFC: Near Field Communication) present at the point exchange point. For example, a QR code (registered trademark) or an NFC tag on which the position coordinates or point ID of the point exchange point are encoded is presented at the point exchange point. When the user 3 reads the QR code (registered trademark) or NFC tag with his or her user terminal 30, the location information acquisition unit 312 uses the information obtained from the QR code (registered trademark) or the NFC tag as the location of the user 3. It may also be transmitted to the position determination unit 213 of the server 20 as information. In this case, the position determining unit 213 receives the information, identifies the point exchange point where the QR code (registered trademark) or NFC tag was read, and determines that the user 3 is visiting the point exchange point. You may judge.

Note that QR codes (registered trademarks) and NFC are used when paying for goods or services in payment services such as electronic money. The reading of the QR code (registered trademark) or NFC tag that is performed when specifying the above-mentioned location information is performed to determine whether or not the conditions for the exchange process are met before exchanging points and benefits. Yes, this is different from the reading associated with payment processing.

The position determination unit 213 may perform the determination process using an electronic stamp. For example, by displaying an electronic stamp reception screen on the display of the user terminal 30 and stamping the electronic stamp managed at the point exchange point on the display of the user terminal 30 (an employee working at the point exchange point stamps the electronic stamp). (or the user 3 may affix the stamp himself), the location information acquisition unit 312 generates stamp reception information including the location information of the point where the electronic stamp is installed as the location information of the user 3. However, it may also be transmitted to the position determining section 213. The position determining unit 213 may determine that the user 3 is visiting a point exchange point where the electronic stamp was affixed by receiving the seal affixing reception information as the position information.

The position determination unit 213 performs the above-mentioned determination processing, such as determination processing based on location information acquired by GPS or a WiFi access point, and determination processing based on reading a QR code (registered trademark) or an NFC tag. It may be possible to execute multiple types of determination processing selected from among (GPS, access point, beacon, QR code (registered trademark), NFC tag, or electronic stamp). In this case, the user 3 may select one of the plurality of types of determination processing. Further, there may be a point exchange point that is applicable only to one of the plurality of types of determination processing.

Note that, as shown in FIG. 1, a case 50 that provides products such as prizes may be present at the point exchange point, but a case 50 that provides products such as prizes may be present at the point exchange point. In the connected state, the determination process by the position determination unit 213 can be executed. That is, in the process of determining the location information of the user 3, there is no need for connection (communication) between the user terminal 30 and the housing 50, and the housing 50 does not need to be equipped with a communication function such as NFC. For example, if a QR code (registered trademark) or NFC tag is attached to the exterior of the housing 50 or around the housing 50, the user terminal 30 and the housing 50 are not connected (not communicating). Judgment processing is possible. In addition, when location information is specified using GPS, etc., the identified location information is compared with the information list of point exchange points stored in the point information storage unit 221, and the point exchange points visited by user 3 are checked. A location may be specified. In this case as well, the determination process can be performed while the user terminal 30 and the housing 50 are not connected.

The mode of the authorization process executed by the position determination unit 213 is not particularly limited. For example, when the user 3 taps (clicks) a benefit acquisition button displayed on the screen of the user terminal 30, a QR code (registered trademark) or barcode used when exchanging points and benefits is displayed on the screen of the user terminal 30. In this case, by making the privilege acquisition button tappable (clickable), user 3 may be given the authority to acquire the privilege (in other words, the privilege acquisition button can be tapped). granting authority). In addition, the user 3 may be given the authority to acquire benefits by providing the user 3 with a QR code (registered trademark) or barcode to be used when exchanging points and benefits (in other words, the QR code (Registered Trademark) or the granting of a barcode corresponds to the granting of authority).

The authorization process performed by the position determining unit 213 allows the user to acquire benefits in exchange for consuming a predetermined amount of points. Since the user 3 can earn points according to the action record data in the process of moving to the point exchange point, it can be expected that the user 3 will be more motivated to collect points and continue to be motivated. Furthermore, since the user 3 cannot obtain benefits by consuming points unless he/she goes to the point exchange point, it is possible to effectively create a motive for visiting the point set as the point exchange point. In particular, the combination of collecting points as you move to the point exchange point and consuming points (earning benefits) at the point exchange point you visit creates a highly special experience for user 3 (experimental consumption). can be made to feel.

As explained in the system overview at the beginning, the content of the benefit may be determined by a lottery that randomly selects at least one benefit from among a plurality of benefit candidates. The lottery execution unit 214 executes processing related to a lottery for determining benefits. For example, if the lottery is an online lottery, the lottery execution unit 214 executes the online lottery in exchange for a predetermined amount of points, and executes processing to determine the content of the benefit. At this time, the number of points required for the online lottery is subtracted from the number of points held by the user 3 to update the number of points held by the user 3. If the prize is determined by an online lottery, the lottery execution unit 214 may generate instruction information for delivering the prize to the user's 3's home or the like and transmit it to the delivery company terminal 70.

When the lottery is executed by the housing 50 installed at the point exchange point, the lottery execution unit 214 generates a QR code (registered trademark) or barcode for the housing 50 to read in exchange for a predetermined amount of points. A process of issuing housing presentation data such as the following may be executed to the user 3. The issued housing presentation data is transmitted to the user terminal 30 via the server communication unit 23 as processing result information. Then, by causing the housing 50 to read the housing presentation data displayed on the display unit 36 of the user terminal 30, the lottery by the housing 50 may be executed. The user 3 obtains one product extracted from the products contained in the housing 50 as a prize to be exchanged for points. In the case of a lottery using the housing 50, similarly to the online lottery, a process of subtracting a predetermined amount of points from the number of points held by the user 3 to update the number of points held by the user 3 is executed.

Note that an online lottery may also be possible at the point exchange point where the housing 50 is installed, and either the lottery for the housing 50 or the online lottery may be executed depending on the selection of the user 3. Good too. Further, a lottery such as a lottery using the housing 50 and an online lottery can be executed by consuming a predetermined amount of points, and can also be executed by charging the user 3 in a point service without consuming points. Good too. Even when a lottery is executed by charging, visiting a point exchange point may be set as a requirement for executing the lottery, as in the case of consuming points.

The point fluctuation processing unit 215 executes processing for controlling fluctuations in the number of points awarded by the point granting unit 210. Varying the number of points means changing the number of points that can normally be earned, which is set as a reference value, by increasing or decreasing it based on predetermined conditions. The point fluctuation processing unit 215 generates information regarding the number of points after the change (hereinafter referred to as change information), and transmits the information to the storage unit 22, which will be described later, to store the information. When awarding points to the user 3, the point awarding unit 210 reads the change information stored in the storage unit 22, takes the change information into account, and determines the number of points to be provided to the user 3.

For example, the point variation processing section 215 may generate change information for changing the number of points in the first point giving section 211. In this case, the change information includes, for example, the conversion rate applied to each user 3. The conditions for changing the conversion rate are not particularly limited, and are based on the information of User 3, such as the period of use from the time User 3 registered with the point service to the present time, and the amount charged by User 3 in the point service. may be set. Further, as a condition for changing the conversion rate, a condition regarding the usage history of the point service by the user 3 himself, such as the number of check-ins per unit period of the user 3 himself, may be set. The point fluctuation processing unit 215 determines the conversion rate to be applied to each user 3 based on the above conditions, and stores the changed conversion rate in the storage unit 22 in association with the user ID.

Furthermore, the point variation processing section 215 may generate change information for changing the number of points that can be earned by the second point giving section 212. This change information may be generated uniformly for all points that can be earned, or may be generated for specific points that can be earned, but it may be generated individually for each point that can be earned. It is preferable. In other words, the point fluctuation processing unit 215 can execute processing for controlling the number of points that can be earned by visiting points that can be earned (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the number of visit points) for each point that can be earned. preferable.

The conditions for changing the number of visit points are not particularly limited, and different conditions may be set for each point earning point, or the conditions for changing the visit point number are set uniformly for all point earning points. may be done. For example, a condition related to one or more data selected from the status (situation) of the point earning point, the status (situation) of user 3 himself, and the status (situation) of other users other than himself, It may be set as a condition for varying the number of visit points.

Examples of the status of the point-earnable point include environmental conditions such as weather and temperature at the point-earnable point, and data representing trends of a plurality of users 3 at the point-earnable point. When using environmental conditions as a condition for changing the number of visit points, for example, set conditions such as "rain" for the weather, "above 35 degrees Celsius" or "below 0 degrees Celsius" for the temperature, and select points that meet the conditions. It is conceivable to increase the number of visit points in , compared to the standard setting value.

Data representing the trends of multiple users 3 at point-earnable points include, for example, the number of users 3 existing around each point-earnable point (e.g., within a radius of ~ m), and each point-earnable point. Examples include the number of check-ins per unit time at a point, the ranking of the user 3 regarding the number of check-ins at each point-earnable point, and the like. When using user 3's ranking as a condition for changing the number of visit points, it is possible to give a higher number of visit points than the standard setting value to users 3 who are at a predetermined rank or higher, or increase points according to the rank. You may also set a rate.

Furthermore, when data representing the trends of the user 3 is used as a condition for changing the number of visit points, a threshold value of the data representing the trends of the user 3 may be set as the condition. For example, by setting a threshold value that represents the congestion situation (the number of users 3 in the vicinity is XX or more, the number of check-ins per unit time is XX or more/hour, etc.), and visitors come to a point where there is a congestion situation. It is conceivable to increase the number of points more than the standard set value. In addition, thresholds representing depopulation conditions (number of nearby users 3 or less, number of check-ins per unit time is less than or equal to XX times/hour, etc.) are set as conditions, and the number of visit points at points in depopulation conditions is set. It is conceivable to increase the value above the reference setting value. Both a threshold representing a crowded situation and a threshold representing a depopulated situation may be set, or a setting may be made such that more visit points can be earned in a depopulated situation than in a crowded situation. As the status of the points-earnable point, it is particularly preferable to use data representing the trends of the user 3 as a condition for changing the number of visiting points.

Examples of the user 3's own status include location information of the user 3's own home, location information at a predetermined time such as early morning, and the user 3's own check-in history. When using home location information or location information at a predetermined time as a condition for varying the number of visit points, set the condition that the distance from the home (or the location at a predetermined time) to the point where points can be earned is 〇〇km or more, It is conceivable that the user 3 who visits from a far place is given a number of visit points that is greater than the standard setting value. When using the check-in history as a condition for changing the number of visit points, set the condition to check in for the first time, and give a number of visit points greater than the standard set value to user 3 who checked in at the point of first visit. It is possible to do so. In addition, it is possible to set the condition that the number of check-ins at a predetermined point earning point is XX or more times, and increase or decrease the number of visit points for points frequently visited by user 3 from the standard setting value. Conceivable.

Examples of the status of users 3 other than the user 3 include location information indicating the current location of the other users 3, check-in history of the other users 3, and the like. A friend may be set for each user 3, and the friend's current location and/or check-in history may be set as a condition for varying the number of visit points. The idea is to give User 3, who visits a predetermined point earning point with a friend, a number of visit points greater than the standard set value, on the condition that a friend exists around User 3's current location. It will be done. In addition, we set a condition that User 3 checks in at the point earning point where the friend checked in within XX minutes, and the number of points received by User 3 who visited after the friend's check-in exceeded the standard setting value. It is conceivable to give the number of visit points. In this case, the second point granting unit 212 may additionally grant visit points to the friend who checked in earlier based on the processing result of the point fluctuation processing unit 215.

A plurality of conditions for varying the number of visit points as described above may be set. The point fluctuation processing unit 215 collects and monitors data related to fluctuation conditions of the number of visiting points, such as the status of points earning points, the status of the user 3 himself, and the status of other users other than himself, A point earning point and/or a user 3 that satisfies the condition for changing the number of visiting points is identified. In addition, the point fluctuation processing unit 215 determines points that can be earned near the user 3 that may satisfy the conditions for changing the number of visit points (for example, a point where a friend has checked in first, a point where the user 3 You may also specify locations (such as locations you have never visited). The point change processing unit 215 generates change information by associating the specified point earning point and/or ID of the user 3 with the number of visit points to be changed, and stores the change information in the storage unit 22.

As mentioned above, based on the status of the point earning point, the status of user 3 himself, or the status of other users other than himself, the number of visit points at each point earning point is determined under uniform conditions. By varying the value, it is possible to create a highly enjoyable game in collecting points. Further, it is possible to more effectively create motivation for visiting a predetermined point (a point set as a point-earnable point) associated with point collection activities.

The control unit 21 of the server 20 includes, in addition to the above-mentioned point giving unit 210 (first point giving unit 211, second point giving unit 212), position determining unit 213, lottery execution unit 214, and point fluctuation processing unit 215. , and may also have the function of executing other processes. For example, the control unit 21 may have a function of issuing an exchange ticket such as a lottery ticket that can be used to acquire benefits at a point exchange point. This voucher may be issued by charging, or may be issued in exchange for a predetermined amount of points. Although such a voucher may be issueable prior to visiting the point redemption point, use of the voucher is conditional on actually visiting the point redemption point.

Furthermore, in the information processing system 10, even if the acquired points can be exchanged for monetary electronic data such as points from other payment services such as credit cards, electronic money, and coupons that can be used at physical stores or online stores, Often, the control unit 21 may have a function of exchanging points and monetary electronic data.

<Storage unit (server)>
The storage unit 22 is a storage area of the server 20 that stores programs, input data, etc. for executing various control processes and functions within the control unit 21, and includes RAM (Random Access Memory) and ROM (Read Only Memory). , SRAM (Static Random Access Memory), flash memory, HDD (Hard Disk Drive), SSD (Solid State Drive), other storage, or any combination thereof. Furthermore, the storage unit 22 may have a function of temporarily storing the communication contents of the server 20 when the server 20 communicates.

The storage unit 22 of the server 20 may have a plurality of areas partitioned according to the type of information to be stored. For example, the storage unit 22 may include a point information storage unit 221, a user information storage unit 222, and a benefit information storage unit 223.

The point information storage unit 221 stores information regarding each point exchange point. Furthermore, when the control section 21 has the function of the second point giving section 212, the point information storage section 221 may memorize and store information regarding each point earning possible point. The information regarding the point exchange points and points obtainable points includes at least an ID for identifying each point (point ID), a point name, a position coordinate, etc. linked to the point ID. The position coordinates are coordinates for specifying each point in the real world, and include, for example, a combination of latitude and longitude coordinates. In addition, the point information storage unit 221 also stores information on benefits that can be acquired at point exchange points (a list of benefits, etc.), the number of visiting points at point earning points, change information (information on changes in the number of visiting points), etc. The information may be stored in association with the point ID, and the content of the information managed by the point information storage unit 221 is not particularly limited.

The user information storage unit 222 stores information associated with each user 3 who uses the point service. For example, the user information storage unit 222 stores an ID for identifying user 3 (user ID), the name of user 3, the date of registration in the point service, which is linked to the user ID, The number of points held by the user 3, usage history, billing amount, delivery address for prizes won in online lottery, and other information used for processing of each functional part of the control unit 21 are stored. Good too. The usage history includes, for example, point consumption history, number of check-ins, IDs of other users set as friends of user 3, IDs of points where user 3 has checked in, etc. You can leave it there.

<Server Communication Department>
The server communication unit 23 is connected to the terminal communication unit 37 of the user terminal 30 via the network N. The server communication unit 23 and the terminal communication unit 37 of the user terminal 30 transmit and receive information to and from each other. For example, the server 20 receives action record data, location information of the user 3, check-in operation information, operation information related to a point acquisition request, and a point consumption (exchange) request from the user terminal 30 via the server communication unit 23. , and other operation information by the user 3. The server communication unit 23 transmits the processing results of various processes executed by the control unit 21 using the information transmitted from the user terminal 30 (for example, the points decided to be given to the user 3, the points and benefits Authorization information regarding permission to exchange, data for presenting the housing, etc.), point information such as point exchange points and point acquisition points, etc. are transmitted to the user terminal 30 via the terminal communication unit 37. Note that part or all of the program related to the point service (program for executing each function of the control unit 21) may be transmitted to the user terminal 30 and executed on the user terminal 30.

<User terminal>
FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram of the user terminal 30 shown in FIG. 1. The user terminal 30 is an information processing device (for example, a smartphone, a mobile phone terminal, a tablet terminal, another computer, etc.) that the user 3 can possess and use. The user terminal 30 may be configured with two or more information processing devices, such as a combination of a smartphone and a wristwatch type terminal that can be synchronized with the smartphone.

The user terminal 30 can output the processing results of the program related to the point service transmitted from the server 20 via the point service application or the web browser. The user terminal 30 includes, for example, a control unit 31 that controls the entire user terminal 30, a storage unit 32 that stores various data and programs, and a gyro sensor and/or acceleration sensor that measures the behavior and state of the user 3. a detection unit 33 for detecting the current position of the user 3, a GPS receiving unit 34 for acquiring the current position of the user 3, an input unit 35 for the user 3 to perform operation input, and a display unit 36 for displaying a user interface such as an operation screen. The terminal communication unit 37 may also include a terminal communication unit 37 that performs information communication with the server 20.

<Control unit (user terminal)>
The control unit 31 has functions necessary to control various parts of the user terminal 30 such as a display, a camera, various sensors of the detection unit 33, and a GPS reception unit 34. Each function of the control unit 31 is controlled by the CPU. This is realized by a central processing unit (Central Processing Unit) or a graphics processing unit (GPU) executing a program stored in a predetermined memory. The control unit 31 of the user terminal 30 may include, for example, a data collection unit 311, a position information acquisition unit 312, an operation information reception unit 313, and a display control unit 314 as functional units that perform various information processing. Some or all of these functional units may be executed by the control unit 21 of the server 20.

The data collection unit 311 executes processing to collect behavior record data of the user 3 in the real world. For example, the data collection unit 311 may collect the number of steps of the user 3 as action record data based on the measurement results of the acceleration sensor or gyro sensor of the detection unit 33. The data collection unit 311 also uses the position information of the user terminal 30, which is identified by the GPS reception unit 34 receiving radio waves from artificial satellites (GPS satellites), to detect changes in the position information from a predetermined point in time to the present time. may be collected as the travel distance of the user 3. The movement distance is not limited to the collection method using GPS, and may be collected using other methods such as access points such as WiFi, short-range communication, etc. In calculating the travel distance, the data collection unit 311 may calculate the travel distance by continuously acquiring position information in real time, or may calculate the travel distance by acquiring position information intermittently. . Further, the moving distance may be expressed as a moving amount. For example, the ground surface may be divided into meshes of a predetermined area, and the amount of meshes moved when the user 3 moves may be collected as action record data. Such a moving mesh amount may be expressed in a unit different from length, such as the number of meshes, or may be expressed in terms of a unit of length, such as meters or kilometers.

Life logs such as calories burned, calories ingested through meals, and scores related to sleep quality are also measured by any means, and the data collection unit 311 collects the life logs as action record data based on the measurement results. May be collected. For example, calorie consumption may be collected by means of measuring heart rate, calorie intake may be collected by photographing meals with a camera, and scores related to sleep quality may be collected by alarms, breathing during sleep, Alternatively, the information may be collected by means of detecting movement or the like.

As described above, the action record data collected by the data collection unit 311 is transmitted to the first point giving unit 211 and exchanged for points. Note that the detection unit 33 is a measuring means used to collect the behavior record data as described above. The data collection unit 311 and/or the detection unit 33 may be implemented in a dedicated terminal such as an activity meter, and by synchronizing the dedicated terminal and a terminal such as a smartphone owned by the user 3, Behavior record data collected by a dedicated terminal may be transmitted to a terminal such as a smartphone.

The location information acquisition unit 312 executes processing to identify the current location information of the user 3 in the real world. The method for identifying location information is not particularly limited, and any known method can be employed. As described above, the location information may be specified using the GPS receiving unit 34 or may be specified using a WiFi access point. In this case, the location information is expressed in location coordinates such as latitude and longitude coordinates. Further, the location information may be specified using a beacon, as listed in the explanation of the location determination unit 213, or may be specified using a QR code (registered trademark) or NFC located at a predetermined point such as a point exchange point. The identification may be performed using a tag or by imprinting an electronic stamp. The location information acquisition unit 312 uses any one of these identification methods (GPS, access point, beacon, QR code (registered trademark), NFC tag, and electronic stamp) to locate the user 3. location information may be specified, or location information may be specified using two or more methods selected from these identification methods (preferably GPS, QR code (registered trademark), and at least one type selected from NFC tags).

The location information specified by the location information acquisition unit 312 is transmitted to the location determination unit 213, and is used to determine whether the user 3 is visiting a point exchange point. In addition, if the point service includes a second point granting section 212, the location information specified by the location information acquisition section 312 is transmitted to the second point granting section 212, and whether it is possible to check in at a point earning point is possible. It is used to determine whether or not. In addition, if the point service requires the point fluctuation processing section 215, the location information specified by the location information acquisition section 312 is transmitted to the point fluctuation processing section 215, and is used to determine whether the fluctuation conditions for the number of visit points are satisfied. May be used.

The operation information reception unit 313 executes a process of accepting various operation information associated with the point service inputted by the user 3 into the input unit 35, which will be described later. Further, the operation information reception unit 313 transmits the received various operation information to the server 20 via the terminal communication unit 37. For example, the operation information reception unit 313 provides operation information regarding a request to convert action record data into points, operation information requesting execution of check-in by tapping a check-in button, operation information requesting acquisition of a benefit by tapping a benefit acquisition button. information, etc., and outputs it to the server 20.

The operation information reception unit 313 receives operation information related to the display of the user terminal 30 and outputs the operation information to the display control unit 314. For example, the operation information reception unit 313 accepts a request to display detailed information of point exchange points included in the map display of the user interface as operation information, and outputs the operation information to the display control unit 314.

The display control unit 314 generates and controls a screen display to be output to the display unit 36. For example, the screen display 8 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 is an example of a user interface output to the display unit 36. In the screen display 8, a surrounding map 81 is displayed on the upper side of the screen display 8, and a detail window 83 is displayed on the lower side of the screen display 8.

The surrounding map 81 is a map representing the area around the current location of the user 3 (the current location of the user terminal 30), and in this surrounding map 81, the current location of the user 3 is indicated by an icon 84. Further, in the surrounding map 81, points related to the acquisition and/or consumption of points that exist around the current location of the user 3 are indicated by icons 84. Screen display 8 shows an example in which point exchange points are selected and set from points that can be earned, and icons 84 indicate points that can be earned. The point shown is the point exchange point, and the point shown by the icon 84b is the point award point.

In the surrounding map 81, it is preferable that an icon 84a indicating a point exchange point and an icon 84b indicating a point awarding point that is not a target of award exchange be displayed in such a manner that they can be distinguished from each other. In the surrounding map 81, point exchange points and point award points can be identified by the letter "G" written in the icon 84a and the letter "P" written in the icon 84b. The method of displaying an icon that makes it possible to identify point exchange points and point award points is not limited to the method of adding letters as shown in this example. , the shape of the icon, the color of the icon, the movement of the icon, etc. It is preferable that the icon 84 of the points achievable point be displayed in such a manner that the achievable points (number of visit points) can be specified. In the surrounding map 81, for example, numbers such as "30" and "60" are attached above the icon 84, and these numbers represent the number of visit points.

The display control unit 314 displays the current position coordinates of the user 3 specified by the position information acquisition unit 312 and the point information stored in the point information storage unit 221 (in particular, the position coordinates of point exchange points and point acquisition points). The peripheral map 81 is generated based on the map display setting information such as the position coordinates of the map, scale, etc., and the digital data of the map, and the generated peripheral map 81 is output to the display unit 36. When generating the surrounding map 81, information other than the above may be taken into consideration. For example, if the number of visiting points can be specified using the icon 84, the number of visiting points may be stored in the point information storage unit 221 in association with the point ID. The surrounding map 81 may be generated by taking into consideration the number of visit points.

The details window 83 shown in FIG. 6 is a window that displays details of point information, and the details window 83 displays, as an example, detailed information regarding point exchange points marked with the symbol "84a". . Such a details window 83 may be displayed on the screen display 8, for example, when the user 3 taps an icon 84 of a point that he/she wishes to refer to from among the icons 84 included in the surrounding map 81.

The details window 83 may display buttons for accepting input operations from the user 3. For example, in the details window 83, as shown in FIG. 6, a check-in button 85 for accepting execution of check-in and a reward acquisition button 87 for accepting execution of processing related to reward acquisition may be displayed.

FIG. 6 illustrates a state in which the user 3 has not visited the point exchange point indicated by the icon 84a, and neither the check-in button 85 nor the award acquisition button 87 is in a tapable state. On the other hand, FIG. 7 illustrates a state in which the user 3 is visiting the point exchange point indicated by the icon 84a, and both the check-in button 85 and the reward acquisition button 87 are in a tapable state. In Figures 6 and 7, in order to make the explanation easier to understand, whether or not the button can be tapped is expressed by the outline of the button, but whether or not the button can be tapped is indicated by changing the color of the button. The identification method is not particularly limited. By making the privilege acquisition button 87 tappable as described above, the position determination unit 213 may grant authority.

The display control unit 314 is based on the current position coordinates of the user 3 specified by the position information acquisition unit 312, the point information stored in the point information storage unit 221, the processing results of the position determination unit 213, etc. A details window 83 is generated, and the generated details window 83 is output to the display section 36. In generating the details window 83, information other than the above may be taken into consideration. Note that the control unit 21 of the server 20 may have a function such as the display control unit 314 that generates and controls screen display.

<Storage unit (user terminal)>
The storage unit 32 of the user terminal 30 stores programs, input data, etc. for executing various control processes and functions within the control unit 31, and includes RAM (Random Access Memory) and ROM (Read Only Memory). , SRAM (Static Random Access Memory), flash memory, HDD (Hard Disk Drive), SSD (Solid State Drive), other storage, or any combination thereof. Moreover, the storage unit 32 temporarily stores the communication content of the user terminal 30 when the user terminal 30 communicates. The storage unit 32 may include an owner information storage unit 321.

The owner information storage unit 321 stores setting information of the user 3 who owns the user terminal 30, such as information regarding payment means and/or account information. Such setting information of the user 3 may be stored in the user information storage section 222 of the server 20.

<Input section>
The input unit 35 receives an input operation by the user 3 and generates operation information of the user 3 in the point service. The input unit 35 performs, for example, an input operation by touching a display surface such as a touch panel, an input operation via physical buttons provided on the user terminal 30, a text input operation using a keyboard, and a voice input operation using a microphone. It may also be possible to accept input operations and the like. Note that when the display that constitutes the display section 36 is a touch panel, the display section 36 may include some or all of the functions of the input section 35 that accepts input operations.

<Display section>
The display unit 36 is a display on which the processing results of the point service are displayed. As described above, this display may be a touch panel that can accept input operations by touching the display surface.

<Terminal Communication Department>
The terminal communication unit 37 is connected to the server communication unit 23 of the server 20 via the network N. The terminal communication section 37 and the server communication section 23 transmit and receive information to and from each other.

Next, an outline of the flow from point acquisition to point use (consumption) will be explained based on the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.

As shown in FIG. 4, first, in step S1, the data collection unit 311 collects action record data such as the number of steps taken by the user 3, the distance traveled, and the life log. Upon receiving the request from the user 3 to earn points, the process proceeds to step S2, where the first point granting unit 211 exchanges the collected behavior record data for a predetermined amount of points according to the behavior record data, and redeems the points. is granted to user 3. Such steps S1 and S2 are the basic flow of points acquisition.

When using the points, the user 3 needs to move to a point exchange point in order to obtain benefits with the points. In step S3, the location determination unit 213 acquires the current location information of the user 3 identified by the location information acquisition unit 312, and determines whether the user 3 is visiting a point exchange point based on the location information. Determination is made (step S4). If it is determined in step S4 that the user 3 is visiting a point exchange point, the process moves to step S5, and the position determining unit 213 acquires a benefit for the user 3 using the points. Grant permissions. After that, in step S6, a privilege is given to the authorized user in exchange for using (consuming) a predetermined amount of points.

As mentioned above, in the point service provided by the information processing system 10, in order to obtain benefits (i.e., use (consumption) points), it is necessary to move to a point exchange point, so point exchange points such as stores and commercial facilities are required. It is possible to create a motive for visiting the point set as , and this motive for visiting leads to activation of movement of people (user 3). In particular, by awarding points based on the number of steps and/or distance traveled as action record data, and by awarding points for check-ins (visiting points that can be earned), we can further stimulate people's movement. You can expect it.

In addition, when using the number of steps and/or distance traveled as action record data, points can be collected according to the action record data during the process of moving to the point exchange point, so there is a gap between point collection and point consumption. A relationship of mutual influence arises. In other words, the desire to collect points leads to consumption activities at point exchange points, and the desire to obtain benefits generates point collection activities associated with movement to point exchange points. This kind of interaction between point collection and point consumption gives the point service provided by the information processing system 10 a game-like appeal, and can be expected to have the effect of encouraging users to continue using the service.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating the flow from obtaining points to using points when the content of benefits is determined by lottery. Steps S1 to S4 in FIG. 5 are the same as those in FIG. 4, and a description thereof will be omitted. Similar to step S5 in FIG. 4, step S5a in FIG. 5 is a process of granting authority to acquire benefits using points. The purpose is to give person 3 the authority to execute the lottery.

After the execution of the lottery is permitted in step S5a, it is checked in step S5b whether or not there is a lottery case at the point exchange point, and if there is no case, the process proceeds to step S5d and the online lottery Execute. If a housing exists at the point exchange point, the user 3 may be able to select either a lottery using the housing or an online lottery. That is, if a case exists at the point exchange point, selection of a lottery method by the user 3 may be accepted in step S5c. If the online lottery is selected, the online lottery is executed in step 5d, and if the lottery based on the housing is selected, the lottery based on the housing is executed in step 5e.

A general online lottery can be executed anywhere without being restricted by location, but an online lottery in the information processing system 10 can only be executed at a point exchange point, as shown in FIG.

By using a lottery when exchanging points and benefits, the gambling spirit of the user 3 is stimulated, and it is expected that the user 3's motivation for the point service will increase. Furthermore, it is possible to create a game-like appeal for the use (consumption) of points. As a result, it can be expected that the effect of activating the movement of people and the effect of encouraging continued use as described above will be enhanced.
