Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a virtual stock trading method, a virtual stock trading system, and a computer-readable recording medium for trading virtual stocks via a network such as the Internet. The present invention relates to a virtual stock trading method, a virtual stock trading system, and a computer-readable recording medium that make it possible to achieve a high degree of compatibility between the target virtual stock transaction and the contribution of a site operation fund by a sponsor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In U.S. Pat. No. 5,950,176, a sell order and a buy order are accepted on a net network at regular intervals, and in response to the order, a buy and sell for a predetermined order is established and a new order is established. A technique for setting a stock price is disclosed. This year, this technology has been used to transform actors, actresses, movies, and music into virtual stocks (
In addition to virtual stocks, a site has been launched that allows users to trade stocks using virtual currencies that can only be used on the Internet.

[0003] In Japan as well, starting this year, a game site has been set up, in which talent candidates are virtually traded and stocks are increased / decreased, assuming they are stocks.

[0004] On the other hand, various devices have been devised on the Internet in order to seek investment from sponsors. For example, pasting a banner ad to advertise the sponsor's products and services on a homepage that displays information on the site, or further guiding the sponsor's homepage by causing the user to click the banner ad,
At times, the number of clicks is guaranteed.

[0005]

However, in the former site, as disclosed in the above-mentioned U.S. Patent Publication, the virtual stock is traded in the same manner as the real stock trade. Simply bringing the actual stock trades to the Internet in this way does not effectively utilize the merits such as the immediacy of the Internet. In addition, there is a problem that rules for the transaction are complicated, and any user cannot easily trade virtual stock. Therefore, it is difficult for a sponsor to expect a wide and continuous advertising effect.

[0006] The problem of the above-mentioned site conducted in the United States will be specifically described.

[0007] In actual stock trading, the total number of shares is fixed, and trading is not established unless the number of sell orders and the number of buy orders match at a predetermined stock price. Therefore, each user instructs how much and how many shares to sell for a predetermined stock or how many and how many to buy for a predetermined stock, and a stock transaction between users is established only when these are approached. This is called standing.

[0008] In the above-mentioned US Patent Publication, in order to realize stock trading on the spot, on a net network, a market price corresponding to the trading up to that time is presented, and a selling order and a buying order within a certain period with respect to this market price are presented. Orders are aggregated, and virtual stock trading is established between the orders. However, even if the market price is set in advance in this way, transactions can only be completed at fixed intervals, and rules such as why it is not possible to buy and sell after placing an order are easy for all users. Difficult to understand. Also,
Since there is an opaque algorithm in terms of who made the buy / sell order, who can buy the stock and who cannot buy the stock, the user's sense of fairness is impaired.

[0009] Even from a sponsor, even if the number of clicks is guaranteed, it is difficult to imagine that the advertisement effect is sufficiently enhanced just by pasting a banner advertisement on a homepage. Has not been able to invest significant advertising costs.

According to the present invention, any user can easily participate in virtual stock trading by simplifying virtual stock trading rules via a network such as the Internet, and has advantages such as immediacy over the Internet. It is an object of the present invention to provide a virtual stock trading method, a virtual stock trading system, and a computer-readable recording medium that effectively utilize the above.

In another invention, a sponsor can expect a high advertising effect by closely associating the trading of virtual stocks with the advertisement of the sponsor, or by restricting unfair access by the user. It is an object of the present invention to provide a virtual stock trading method, a virtual stock trading system, and a computer-readable recording medium.

[0012]

To achieve the above object, a virtual stock trading method according to the present invention is a virtual stock trading method for trading on a net network, wherein the virtual stock has a stock price of While raising or lowering according to the increase or decrease of the total number of shares according to a predetermined stock price fluctuation characteristic, each user is caused to purchase the virtual stock after displaying the current stock price.

When this method is adopted, the stock price of the virtual stock is
In accordance with the predetermined stock price fluctuation characteristics, the higher the total number of shares traded, the higher the number, and the lower the number, the lower the number, the lower the virtual stock price is. So, it looks like a real stock price move or offers a total share. Then, since each user can purchase the virtual stock by displaying the current stock price, even if the counterpart of stock trading, which is essential in actual stock trading, is absent, the Internet or the like is not available. It is possible to purchase stocks instantly at any time by using the convenience of the network properly, and there is an unfair situation that some users will be established and some will not be established as in actual stock transactions. No longer occurs. Moreover, since there is no need to be aware of the complicated way of buying and selling as in real stock trading, users of any age group can easily participate in virtual stock trading.

[0014] In the virtual stock trading method of the present invention, the stock price of the virtual stock rises and falls every time the absolute value of the total number of increase and decrease reaches a predetermined threshold number of shares.

When this method is adopted, each virtual stock has a stock price proportional to the total number of stocks, and thus can be set to a stock price proportional to each popularity. Further, there is an effect that it is easy for the user to predict the fluctuation of the stock price, and it is easy for the user to participate in the transaction at the timing that he / she predicted, including the timing of the stock trading transaction.

The virtual stock trading method according to the present invention is a virtual stock trading method for trading virtual stocks on a net network. For each virtual stock, the mail addresses of all users who own the virtual stocks are compared, and the virtual stocks are compared. The processing for increasing or decreasing the stock price is performed except for virtual stocks related to the e-mail address that can be estimated as an organization tag in the e-mail address.

If this method is adopted, the stock price is increased / decreased, excluding virtual stocks related to the e-mail address that can be estimated as an organization tag, based on an estimation judgment as to whether or not a majority of e-mail addresses of the same domain name exist. Therefore, even if a production that is trying to sell a new talent corresponding to a predetermined virtual stock intentionally places a large purchase order and attempts to manipulate the stock price, it can be set to the stock price excluding it, Can be used as a popularity index with high accuracy. In addition, since these virtual stocks are traded on the Internet, the stock price can be used as a real-time popularity index.

The sponsor's home page may be set up in the database unit 11.

A prize database (prize storage means)
19 is a product or service provided by the sponsor,
Alternatively, the information is stored such that the name of a prize of a product or service purchased or contracted based on the advertisement income from the sponsor, the price in virtual currency, and the like can be read out in association with each prize. In addition, a prize for a top-ranking person who has made the most profit in virtual stock during a specific period such as every month is also stored.

The homepage database 20 stores various homepage data (for example, index.html described in HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)) to be displayed on the user net network terminal 4 or the user portable terminal 6 when operating a user registration homepage or the like. html, etc.).

In the program storage unit 12, the virtual stock management program (information updating means, stock price management means, virtual currency adding means, new brand management means) 21 mainly executes the stock price determination processing of each virtual stock and the virtual stock database 15. It performs storage and rewrite processing of various data.

User management program (information updating means) 2

It controls the trading of virtual stocks between the company.

The prize management program 28 controls the acceptance of a prize exchange application with each of the user network terminals 4 and each of the user's portable terminals 6 and, in accordance with this, subtracts the money in possession by the price of the prize. Thus, the user management program 22 is instructed.

The database section 11 has a database (not shown) for storing information other than the above.
The program storage unit 12 stores programs (not shown) other than those described above.

Next, an operation procedure of the virtual stock trading system having the above hardware configuration will be described.
First, it is assumed that the virtual stock database 15, the free mail address database 17, the sponsor database 18, the premium database 19, and the homepage database 20 have all registered information necessary for operating the virtual stock trading operation headquarters. I do. The data on these databases may be stored and corrected using the server terminal 10c connected to the server 10a of the virtual stock trading operation headquarters.

In this state, when a predetermined user net network terminal 4 or the like requests an access to the main home page to the web server 10a in the virtual stock trading operation headquarter 10 via the Internet 1, the control unit 14 sets the home page. Predetermined information is read from the database 20 or the virtual stock database 15 and, for example, the main screen shown in FIG. 3 is displayed on the user network terminal 4 or the like. On this screen,
A stock price display window 29 for displaying the name and price of each virtual stock, a scroll bar 30 for scrolling the virtual stock displayed in the stock price display window 29, a search window 31 for inputting and searching for the stock, From the screen, a display switching button 32 for displaying a homepage such as a description of a stock trading game, stock trading, how to obtain virtual currency, a prize display, a ranking display, and the like are displayed.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory screen of the virtual stock trading game displayed when one of the display switching buttons 32 on the main screen shown in FIG. 3 is clicked. FIG. 5 is assigned to this explanatory screen. It is a new registration screen displayed when a member registration button 33 is clicked. At least the page frames of these screens, including the screens described below, are registered in the homepage database 20, and the control unit 14 reads and displays them.

In the description of the virtual stock trading game described in the central window 34 of the description screen of the virtual stock trading game, when a member is registered, a certain money is provided, and the user can participate in the stock trading game using the money. And the fact that you can increase the money you own by performing operations to obtain virtual currency, and by doing so, give away the top prizes in the monthly ranking and those who have formed a certain amount of property (money). Is described.

On the new registration screen shown in FIG. 5, user profiles such as name, nickname, password, gender, age, mail address, address, telephone number, occupation, hobbies, favorite celebrities, and disliked celebrities are input. A plurality of boxes 35 are provided. The user registration information entered in these boxes 35 is transmitted from the user net network terminal 4 or the user portable terminal 6 to the server 10a of the virtual stock trading operation headquarters, and the mail address is stored in the server 10a and the free mail address database 17. Is confirmed as not free, and is newly registered (recorded) in a user database 16 in a readable manner in association with each other. In addition, a fixed amount of money is uniformly set for the newly registered user 3 free of charge. As a result, the registered user 3 can immediately participate in virtual stock trading.

In such a registration process, a specific user acquires a large number of moneys at the same time using a plurality of free mail addresses, and carries out pseudo stock trading between these addresses to thereby possess the moneys. It is possible to effectively prevent the flowing of gold, etc. In addition, from the sponsor's point of view, double registration by a single user is suppressed, so that the number of users 3 who see the advertisement corresponding to the advertisement fee of the advertisement of the per-view contract (the advertisement contracted for one browsing) can be viewed. Can be expected.

In this embodiment, the address of the free mail is registered in the database section 11 in advance to prevent the user from registering the address. Can be expected in the database unit 11 in advance, and only the user from that address is allowed to register.

When another one of the display switching buttons 32 is clicked on the main screen, the control unit 14 operates based on the transaction management program 27, and the log-in screen shown in FIG. Is displayed. The user 3 enters an e-mail address or user ID (such as a name or nickname) in the input box 36 of this screen.
Enter your password and send. Then, the server 10a of the virtual stock trading operation headquarters 10 compares the input information with the user registration information stored in the user database 16, and the user 3 who matches all of them is registered in the user database 16 in advance. If you have
Is displayed on the user network terminal 4 or the like.

On the transaction start screen, the money held as a result of the previous transaction, the accumulated wage by the virtual currency acquisition processing, the evaluation value of the stock price, the ranking among the participants, and the like are displayed, and these can be confirmed. it can. Thus, the user 3 can easily determine a situation such as whether to perform virtual currency acquisition processing or to invest to raise the ranking.

When one of the display switching buttons 37 arranged on the left side of the transaction start screen shown in FIG. 7 is clicked, a virtual stock purchase search screen as shown in FIG. 8 is displayed, and another display switching button is displayed. Clicking on 37 displays a virtual stock sale search screen as shown in FIG. On these screens, it is possible to perform a direct search for inputting the brand or brand code of the virtual stock to be traded in the input box 38, and a refined search for selecting an initial or a category. Further, a procedure up to the conclusion of the virtual stock trading is displayed above the input box 38. When the user 3 performs a search using any of the search methods, the control unit 14 extracts a virtual stock that matches the search condition from the virtual stock database 15 and displays the brand or list on the user net network terminal 4 or the like. Let it.

As a result of any search, if virtual stocks are narrowed down to one brand, a virtual stock purchase screen as shown in FIG. 10 or a virtual stock sale screen as shown in FIG. 11 is displayed. On these screens, the virtual stock database 15
One stock and its stock price searched based on the data read from are displayed together with the previous day's ratio, and a box 39 for inputting the number of traded shares and a box 40 for inputting the trading amount in virtual currency are displayed. In these figures, the lower half of the screen is provided with an optional entry field for describing the reason for trading. By providing such a column, trading data can be used as marketing data.

When the number of trading shares or the trading price is input and transmitted on these screens, the transaction management program 27
The control unit 14 which operates based on the above-mentioned information, the brand code of the virtual stock relating to the trading and the number of trading shares (if the trading amount is input, the number of trading shares calculated from the amount and the stock price), and the mail of the user 3 who trades A series of trading information such as addresses is transferred to the virtual stock management program 21 and the user management program 22. At this time, the site may collect a certain commission. In addition, on the virtual stock purchase screen or virtual stock sale screen, an input box for setting the trading expiration date and trading stock price is displayed separately, and if the specified stock price is reached within the specified period, trading is performed with the limit so as to complete the trade. The function may be extended so that it can be performed. This allows
Even the user 3 who does not have time to check the stock price too frequently can actively participate in stock trading and enjoy it.

The control unit 14 that has started operating based on the virtual stock management program 21 by passing the trading information.
Searches the virtual stock database 15 by a brand code, and updates the total stock number associated with the matching brand code by adding / subtracting the number of trading shares. Similarly, the control unit 14 that has started operation based on the user management program 22 searches the user database 16 by an e-mail address, and adds or subtracts the number of shares of the issue associated with the matching e-mail address with the number of trading shares. And update
The amount of money in possession associated with the e-mail address is increased or decreased by the amount of trading of the virtual stock. For example, when a virtual stock is sold, the stock price of the virtual stock multiplied by the number of shares to be sold is added to the money held, and when the virtual stock is purchased, the stock price of the virtual stock is multiplied by the number of shares purchased. Subtract things from your money. If the money held by the user 3 becomes negative due to these processes, the series of processes is canceled.

The control unit 14 operating based on the virtual stock management program 21 updates the total number of virtual stocks, and then, as a result of buying and selling these virtual stocks, updates the total number of virtual stocks related to the trading. It is determined whether or not the absolute value of the number of shares has increased or decreased beyond a predetermined threshold number of shares, and if it has exceeded, the share price of the virtual stock has a predetermined relationship with the increase or decrease of the total number of shares. Increase or decrease as described above. Instead of using the total number of increase or decrease as the threshold, the share price may be increased or decreased each time the total number of shares of the shareholder reaches a predetermined value, or a predetermined rate may be determined based on the rate of increase or decrease of the total number of shares of the shareholder. You may make it fluctuate a stock price when it changes above.

FIG. 12 is a stock price characteristic diagram showing a relationship (an example) between the total number of each virtual stock and the stock price. In the figure, the horizontal axis is the total number of shares, and the vertical axis is the stock price. The figure shows that the virtual stock is 301
This is an example of a case where the shares are listed in yen, and Mr. K purchases 1000 shares from Mr. A, and the stock price is set to rise by 1 yen for every 1000 shares. If, for example, 1000 shares owned by Mr. A are sold for profit taking in the state shown in the figure, the total number of shares decreases by 1000 shares.
One yen drops from the yen to 310 yen. In this example, the stock price fluctuates when the total number of increase and decrease exceeds 1000 shares. That is,
1000 shares will be the threshold number of shares.

As described above, without limiting the total number of shares, by performing stock price control for increasing or decreasing the stock price for each predetermined increase or decrease in the number of shares in accordance with the absolute value of the increase or decrease in the total number of shares, anyone can purchase the desired stock at any time. Thus, it is possible to construct a virtual stock having a price movement similar to that of the original stock in appearance without impairing the fairness of stock trading. As a result, the user 3 can immediately buy and sell favorite virtual stocks via the Internet 1, and can easily buy and sell the virtual stocks without being conscious of the way of trading (rules) as in actual stock trading. You can enjoy.

In particular, since the stock price of the virtual stock rises and falls every time the absolute value of the total number of increase and decrease reaches a predetermined threshold number of stocks, each virtual stock has a stock price proportional to the total number of stocks. Becomes As a result, the stock price of each virtual stock can be set to a stock price proportional to its popularity. Also,
There is also an effect that the user can easily predict the fluctuation of the stock price, and easily participate in the trade at the timing that he / she has predicted, including the timing of the stock trading.

In this embodiment, the maximum number of shares that can be traded in one order (operation) is limited to a predetermined number (for example, 3000 shares), and the order is placed again after the first order is placed. In this case, the transaction screen is controlled so that the transaction start screen is displayed again before the order is placed again, and one of the display switching buttons 37 arranged on the left side of the transaction start screen is clicked again. In other operations, the formal sales information is not transmitted again.

As described above, the maximum number of shares to be traded in one operation is limited to a predetermined number, and when it is desired to trade more than a predetermined number of shares, the virtual stock purchase screen shown in FIG.
By displaying the virtual stock sale screen shown in FIG. 1 again, it is possible to display and confirm the stock price on which the result of the previous trading has been reflected, and then perform the next trading. as a result,
For example, even if a large amount of virtual stock is sold at a time in FIG. 12, a large take-out from the site due to the mass sale does not occur, and sound site management is possible. By the way, in FIG. 12, if such control is not performed, all the hatching portions 41 are taken out. On the other hand, in the case where control is performed such that trading is performed in units of 3000 shares, which is the maximum number of shares to be sold, the portion 42 indicated by dots is taken out as compared with the case of 1000 shares.

That is, in the original stock market, unless the selling method and the buying method exist at the same time, the trading is not established. However, in this virtual stock trading system in which there is no actual trading stock, it is assumed that there is always a selling method and a buying method. For this reason, the operator of this system, which is a counterparty to the user 3 participating in the virtual stock trading, must respond to infinite selling, and in some cases, has an enormous risk. In order to solve this problem, a threshold number of shares at which the stock price increases and decreases, a threshold increase / decrease rate, and a certain total stock value are determined in advance to form a stock price and a maximum number of stocks to be traded.

For example, by deciding the threshold number of shares, etc., virtual stock trading becomes a kind of skip game. In the figure, shareholder A takes 100 profits at a stock price of 311 yen to take profit.
If you sell 0 shares, the sold shares (311 yen x 100
0 shares) is equal to the purchase amount which is the amount invested by the shareholder K (this person is a person who purchased at a stock price of 311 yen). For this reason,
The sales amount paid to the shareholder A is transferred from the shareholder K as it is. That is, A, which is performed in the ordinary stock trading
As a result, it is the same as performing the relative trade between K and K with a time difference, and as a result, the operator of this virtual stock trading system does not take any risk. Further, by limiting the maximum number of shares to be traded, it is possible to considerably avoid risks as shown in the figure. Further, in order to further avoid the risk of mass sale, the amount paid to the user 3 may be set smaller in advance than the income obtained from the sponsor (for example, the return rate to the user 3 may be set to 70%).

[0098] For example, if the threshold number of shares that increases or decreases the stock price and the maximum number of shares that can be traded in one operation are the same, the taking out of this site can be prevented if the number is particularly limited to one. . However, if the threshold number of shares and the maximum number of shares to be sold are set to one, the profit-taking width in one operation becomes small, and the unit of the transaction becomes small, which is interesting. In addition, in the case of setting in units of one share, the initial value and the rate of increase of the listed stock price may be raised to raise the stock price as a whole, thereby increasing the profit taking range. In such a case, the user 3 cannot participate in the stock transaction until the user has a large amount of money, and the user 3 is also interested in it. Therefore, in this embodiment, the number of shares and the rules of how to increase or decrease the number of shares are set so that the unit price of the stock price is lowered, and it is possible to perform trading in one operation with the number of shares larger than the unit of increase or decrease of the stock price. Is set to As a result, from the user 3 having a small amount of money to the user 3 having a large amount of money, it is possible to enjoy the real thrill of the dynamic stock trading according to each money.

In controlling the increase or decrease of the stock price, the control unit 14 operating based on the virtual stock management program 21 first obtains, from the user database 16, the mail addresses and the number of owned stocks of all the users 3 who own the virtual stock. User 3 from a specific domain other than the provider
Is more than a predetermined ratio of the total number of users, more than half in this embodiment, or if the total number of shares owned by the user 3 in a specific domain is more than a predetermined ratio of the total number of shares, and more than half in this embodiment. Determines the stock price as the total number of shares excluding the number of shares owned by the user 3 in those specific domains. Thus, the production system 9
It is possible to prevent a stock price manipulation by an organization tag, such as an intentional stock price manipulation of a virtual stock of an affiliated talent. As a result, when the target of the virtual stock is an entertainer or a celebrity, the stock price can be made to correspond to the true popularity of the user 3, and the stock price can be used as a highly accurate popularity index.

Next, another mechanism will be described.

FIG. 13 shows a display switching button 3 on the main screen.
When one of the two is clicked, the control unit 14 starts operating based on the virtual currency management program 25, and the user ID (registration information of the user 3, for example, name,
This is a virtual currency acquisition processing screen displayed in response to input of a nickname, an email address, and the like) and a password. On this screen, the description of the page is provided at the top, and the virtual sea 43 is spread at the bottom. In order to scroll the virtual sea 43, the user operates the scroll bar 44 and goes around the island 46 with the pointer 45 shaped like a ship. When the treasure 47 is clicked, there is a description of what operation should be performed to acquire the virtual currency as shown in FIG. 14, and then the question and answer page shown in FIG. 15 is displayed.

Each island 46 is prepared for each attribute of the user, that is, for each condition such as gender and age. For example,
The question of the sponsor without this restriction is assigned to “Minna no Mishima” shown in FIG. 13 as the answer user layer, and the question of the sponsor limited to women is assigned to “Women's Island” as the answer user layer. As described above, by distinguishing the user layer using the island 46, each user can efficiently earn virtual currency by clicking and answering the treasure 47 assigned to the corresponding island 46 in order. it can. In addition, even users of all ages can search for a question to which they apply by simple and easy-to-understand operations and having fun.

In the question and answer page of FIG. 15, the sponsor's homepage registered in advance in the sponsor database 18 is displayed below the question and answer page by frame division. In the left text box, one question selected from the question pull-down menu is selected, and in the right text box, one answer selected from the answer pull-down menu is selected. Then, the user selects one answer from the pull-down menu and gives an answer while checking the answer on the sponsor's home page displayed together. Also, the sponsor side can expect each user to surely browse his / her home page once.

It is not necessary to divide the screen in the question and answer page and display the sponsor's homepage itself. In this case, for example, the sponsor name may be displayed at the same time for each question, and when this sponsor name is clicked, the sponsor may jump to a URL of a homepage registered in advance in the sponsor database 18. Even in this case, the user 3 can sequentially and efficiently browse the linked home pages in advance and answer questions accurately, and can efficiently earn money. At the same time, the sponsor can also have the user 3 who is a purchaser through the homepage correctly and deeply recognize the company's products and services. it can. In particular, if the answer is typed from the keyboard instead of the selection type, the company name and the product name are ruminated by the head, so that the latent information about the company and the product can be deeply stored.

When an answer is given to a certain question, the answer is transmitted to the server 10a of the virtual stock trading operation headquarter 10 via the Internet 1. Control unit 14
Upon receiving this answer, the user first compares the user 3 with the user ID (registration information) and password in the user database 16 to determine whether or not the user 3 belongs to the above-mentioned purchasing tier. It is confirmed whether or not it is based on the registration information of the user database 16. Next, when these are appropriate, the answer of the sponsor database 18 is compared with the answer of the user 3, and if the answer is correct, the correct answer notification page of FIG. If the answer is incorrect, a wrong answer notification page shown in FIG. 17 is displayed and 5000 yan is transferred to the user's account. When the same user is answered by the same user (determined by the mail address or the like), the apology screen of FIG. 18 is displayed. In this way, the user can earn money for purchasing virtual stock.

In the virtual currency acquisition process based on this question and answer, first, only a screen for inputting a user ID and a password is displayed.
May be extracted to display different questions and answers depending on gender and age. Alternatively, a password or a predetermined code corresponding to the gender or age of the user 3 may be input on the first screen, and the questions that can be answered may be limited and displayed using the password. In this way, by restricting the users 3 who can answer each question and answer based on their age and gender, it is possible to prevent, for example, men from answering questions about women's cosmetics, etc. Can advertise and collect information for a desired target user 3.

Further, by limiting the number of answers that can be made by each user 3 for each predetermined period such as one month, a large number of users 3 can make a fair answer, and moreover, the amount of money in possession only by answering the question. Can be prevented and the soundness as an investment game can be maintained. Further, what kind of question has been registered may be sent to the user 3 by mail as question and answer information. Further, the server 10a may transmit the information of the responded customer to the sponsor system 8 excluding personal information to be kept secret such as an address and a name.

[0108] A virtual fund may be provided only by clicking the sponsor name and browsing a home page on which a predetermined product or the like is posted, without posting the question. At this time, the home page is also "favorite"
The virtual fund may be provided for the first time by having the user make a registration operation. Further, the target user may not be limited to the user 3 of the predetermined purchase tier. Even in this case, since the user 3 browses the homepage for advertising the sponsor's product or service once in order to earn virtual funds for purchasing the virtual stock, the sponsor 3 uses the Can effectively spread / sell the name of a company or product.

[0109] Further, instead of such a question form on the homepage, a question is sent as a questionnaire to the target purchaser user 3 by e-mail, and virtual funds are provided only to the user 3 of the e-mail address that has answered the question. You may do so. Even in this case, the user 3 seriously answers a questionnaire or question on a sponsor's product or service in order to earn virtual funds for purchasing virtual shares, and uses this to support the sponsor. In this case, it is possible to effectively disseminate / sell the name of a company or a product, and then to launch a sellable product or service suitable for the purchaser based on a market survey based on a questionnaire. Also, not only questions but also ideas may be solicited.

Display switch button 3 on the main screen shown in FIG.
When another one of the two is clicked, the control unit 14 starts operating based on the virtual stock management program 21, and
Thereby, a new virtual stock registration screen (see FIG. 19) is displayed. Window 5 at the top of this new virtual stock registration screen
3 lists the brands of the new virtual stock registered in the virtual stock database 15, and all the new virtual stocks can be confirmed on the right scroll bar 54. Further, a registration box 55 for basic information to be registered in the virtual stock database 15 such as a brand (name, nickname, etc.) of a virtual stock to be newly registered and a category for classifying the brand is assigned to a lower portion. The user 3 can arbitrarily register a new brand using this screen.

The new virtual stock is registered in the virtual stock database 15 together with the listed virtual stock described above.
The handling is handled separately from the virtual stock as described above. Note that these virtual stocks may be stored in separate databases and moved to the virtual stock database 15 at the time of listing.

Specifically, the control unit 14 operating based on the virtual stock management program 21 prohibits the sale of the new virtual stock for a predetermined period (for example, two months), and within the predetermined period. Shares can be purchased at a fixed price lower than the price at the time of listing, and profits can be obtained at the time of listing. On the other hand, new virtual stocks are handled so that virtual stocks that have not reached a certain number of users or the total number of purchased stocks within a predetermined period are deleted from the virtual stock database 15. At this time, the information of the deleted new virtual stock is also deleted from the user database 16. As a result, the user 3 who has purchased a new virtual stock that has not been listed suffers a loss. vice versa,
A certain number of hypothetical shares will be listed at a price corresponding to the total number of shares that have been collected. For new virtual stocks,
The number of shares purchased by each user 3 may be limited to a certain value or less, or listing may be limited by judging a bias of the address area of the purchased user 3.

An example of a date listing procedure will be described. The company seeks investors within a month or more and within two months, and will be listed if the stock price has exceeded the specified price in the prescribed stock price change program.
However, purchase from a single prefecture is regarded as an organizational card. For example, purchase from seven or more prefectures. However, if the number of buyers from a single prefecture exceeds, for example, 50%, it is also regarded as an organization card, and the listing is not made until the number of buyers from other countries reaches 50%. In addition, if there is a celebrity who wants to be newly listed, apply along with the investment (purchase money). At this time, the first investor describes necessary items in a predetermined form, and when the celebrity's existence is confirmed, the investor can be purchased as an undisclosed stock (new virtual stock). The purchase unit is limited to 50,000 yen per person (Note: The explanation will be made using the Japanese currency unit “yen” instead of the virtual currency unit for easy understanding. The same applies in the following paragraphs). After that, the first to 50th buyers can purchase 1 unit (1000 shares) for 50 yen per share,
It is assumed that the 50th and subsequent purchasers acquire the number of shares corresponding to 50,000 yen, which is a unit of purchase, for the stock price rising according to the predetermined stock price change program.

[0114] The stock price is listed as the initial price with the price at the end of two months exceeding the assumed stock price. After setting the initial price, the equipment is temporarily frozen until trading on the listed market starts. Listed celebrity shares will be listed after a two-week announcement period. If the stock price does not exceed the specified price after two months, it will be treated as bankruptcy and all the investment (purchase) will be forfeited. It should be noted that even if the bankruptcy is treated once, it can be renewed as a new virtual stock any number of times. The purchase start time on the listing day is 6:00 am on the day because the burden on the web server 10a is minimized.

When purchasing a new virtual stock that has already been registered, for example, by clicking on a brand displayed in the window 53, it can be purchased in predetermined numbers. Further, a screen switching button (not shown) is added to the new virtual stock registration screen shown in FIG. 19, and when this button is clicked while a brand of the new virtual stock to be purchased is selected, the screen shown in FIG. The price of the new virtual stock may be displayed in a state where it is allocated, and may be purchased here.

By setting the listing standard for new virtual stocks in this way, it is possible to provide a risky person to the virtual stock market as a venture company before the public offering, as a target for speculation such as new face talent. It is possible to provide high-risk, high-return virtual stock at low cost.
As a result, the user 3 can purchase the virtual stock with a small amount of money, and, by investing in a high-risk high-return rookie talent, gives a sense of satisfaction as if he had found a new rookie. be able to. In production, you can sell new talent through the internet.

When another one of the display switching buttons 32 on the main screen is clicked, the control unit 14 starts operating based on the ranking management program 26, and thereby the user whose valuation value of the owned virtual stock is high is increased. 3 is displayed (FIG. 20). In the ranking screen of this embodiment, the monthly ranking best 100
In addition, the cumulative ranking best 100 from the beginning of establishment is displayed.

These ranking data are stored in the control unit 14.
Can be generated by totalizing transaction logs from the user database 16. Further, the result of the aggregation may be separately stored in the database unit 11 or the like. By employing this configuration, a kind of honor can be given to the active user 3 who has obtained a large profit, stock trading can be activated, and the frequency of using the site can be increased. . In addition, by clicking on a portion of the screen shown in FIG. 20 where "P" is displayed, the ranking of the user 3 can be searched instantaneously.

In addition to this, the middle ranking of this month,
Various rankings such as the major shareholder ranking for each virtual stock can also be displayed. In particular, in the major shareholder ranking, it is possible to give a kind of honor to the major shareholder of the issue, and fans should purchase a large amount of virtual shares to acquire it and activate stock trading This has the effect of increasing the frequency of use of the site. In addition, a conference room (such as a chat lounge on the Internet) where only the shareholders or the major shareholders can participate may be opened.
