  Hereinafter, a posting system for posting posting information (information) using Twitter (registered trademark) will be described. “Posting information” means not only opinions, hopes and comments on the store, but also impressions such as writing to unspecified persons, notes, or own diaries. FIG. 4 is a functional block diagram of the posting system according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  The posted information receiving unit 101 of the client 1 receives posted information related to the store. Since Twitter (registered trademark) is used, post information with a short sentence of 140 characters or less is accepted instead of a long sentence. The posted information transmitting unit 102 transmits the received posted information to the server 3 together with identification information for identifying the store.

  The posted information receiving unit 301 of the server 3 receives posted information related to the store posted by the client 1. The keyword extraction unit 302 searches the keyword storage unit 331 of the storage device 33 using the identification information received together with the post information related to the store as key information, and the keyword corresponding to the stored identification information for identifying the store, here a hash Extract tags.

  FIG. 5 is an exemplary diagram of a data configuration of the keyword storage unit 331 of the posting system according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, hashtags are stored as keywords in association with identification information for identifying stores. By receiving the identification information together with the posting information related to the posted store, the hash tag can be extracted as a keyword corresponding to the identification information to be added to the posting information related to the store.

  The keyword assigning unit 303 assigns the extracted hash tag as a keyword to the end of the post information regarding the store. For example, if the posting information is “Delicious!” And the hash tag is “#MAC_kuchikomi”, the posting information is edited as “It was delicious! #MAC_kuchikomi”. In this embodiment, English characters are used for the hash tag as a keyword. However, hiragana and kanji may be used, and when media other than Twitter (registered trademark) is used, A display allowed by the media may be used.

  The browsing enabler 304 allows the edited posting information to be browsed by any client 1 or 4. For example, to the client 1 who posted the post information related to the store, the post information related to the store to which the keyword is assigned is returned as it is. The post information receiving unit 103 with keyword of the client 1 receives post information regarding the store to which the keyword is assigned and displays it on the display unit 13.

  Of course, it may be returned when a keyword is assigned, or may be returned when a return request is made from the client 1, for example, when a browsing request is made using a hash tag as a key information as a key information.

  On the other hand, when there is a browsing request using the hash tag as key information, the other client 4 transmits post information related to the store to which the hash tag is assigned as a keyword.

  FIG. 6 is a view showing an example of a posting information display screen of the posting system according to the embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, posted information is displayed as a posted information display screen of Twitter (registered trademark). The hash tag “#MAC_kuchikomi” is automatically assigned to the end of the posted information, and is also displayed at the end when displaying the posted information. When the posted information is quoted and posted again, it is possible to know which store the posted information is, unless the hash tag is deleted.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure in the server 3 and the client 1 of the posting system according to the embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 7, the arithmetic unit 11 of the client 1 accepts post information related to the store (step S701). Since Twitter (registered trademark) is used, post information with a short sentence of 140 characters or less is accepted instead of a long sentence. The posted information transmitting unit 102 transmits the received posted information regarding the received store and identification information for identifying the store to the server 3 (step S702).

  The identification information may be stored in advance in the memory unit 12 of the client 1 or may be acquired from the server 3 at a predetermined timing. For example, posting information relating to a store is usually made at the time of settlement after purchasing a product or finishing a meal. Therefore, for example, in the case where payment is performed with a card or the like in a store, the server 3 is installed in the store when the payment information is transmitted from the payment computer such as a card company to the server 3 after the personal authentication is completed. It is sufficient to transmit identification information for identifying the store to the client 1.

  The CPU 31 of the server 3 receives post information and identification information regarding the store received by the client 1 (step S703). The CPU 31 searches the keyword storage unit 331 of the storage device 33 using the received identification information as key information, and extracts a keyword corresponding to the identification information, here, a hash tag (step S704).

The CPU 31 assigns the extracted hash tag as a keyword to the end of post information relating to the store (step S705). For example, when the post information regarding the store is “Delicious!” And the hash tag is “#MAC_kuchikomi”, a hash tag is added by adding a half-width space to the end of the post information regarding the store. That is, “It was delicious!
“#MAC_kuchikomi” and post information related to the store are edited.

  The CPU 31 makes it possible for any client 1 or 4 to view post information relating to a store to which a hash tag has been assigned. Specifically, the CPU 31 returns the posting information about the store to which the keyword is assigned as it is to the client 1 that posted the posting information about the store (step S706). The arithmetic unit 11 of the client 1 receives post information related to the store to which the keyword is assigned (step S707), and displays the received post information related to the store on the display unit 13 (step S708).

  Of course, the post information related to the store may be returned when the keyword is given, or when there is a return request from the client 1, for example, when there is a browsing request using a hash tag as a key information as a key information. You may return it. FIG. 8 is an exemplary view of a browsing request screen of the posting system according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 8, a screen for selecting a store is displayed, and a browsing information selection screen for browsing request is displayed by clicking a link 81 to the browsing information selection screen with a mouse or the like. . FIG. 9 is an exemplary view of a browsing information selection screen of the posting system according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 9, search conditions such as region and business type are input to the condition input area 901 and selection of the search button 902 is accepted. Candidate stores searched under the search condition input in the condition input area 901 are displayed in a list in the selection candidate display area 903. By accepting selection of a store selection button 904 for viewing post information relating to a store, a keyword corresponding to identification information for identifying the store accepting the selection is extracted as key information, that is, a post related to a store to which a hash tag is given. The information is extracted, and the posted information related to the stores posted on another screen is displayed as a list. By extracting the hash tag as key information, it is possible to display only a list of post information relating to the store for which the selection has been accepted, so it is possible to reliably grasp the evaluation of the store.

  Returning to FIG. 7, the CPU 31 of the server 3 determines whether or not a browsing request using the specified keyword as key information is received from another client 4 (step S709). When the CPU 31 determines that it has not received the browsing request (step S709: NO), the CPU 31 enters a waiting state for the browsing request. When the CPU 31 determines that a browsing request has been received (step S709: YES), the CPU 31 extracts post information relating to the store to which the keyword is assigned using the specified keyword as key information (step S710), and extracts it. Post information relating to the store that has been sent is transmitted to the client 4 that transmitted the browsing request (step S711).

  In addition, the acceptance process of posting at the time of card payment can be simplified. FIG. 10 is an image diagram of screen transition showing the flow of post acceptance processing at the time of card settlement.

  As shown in FIG. 10, when payment is performed with a card or the like in a store, card information used for payment is read by a card reader or the like. A screen that can confirm the reading of the card information and accept post information related to the store on the display unit of the payment terminal installed in the store at the time when the user is authenticated as a legitimate user. Is displayed. For example, when the display unit of the payment terminal is a touch panel, an icon indicating a three-step evaluation as shown in FIG. 10A is displayed in advance and one of the selections is accepted. Post information related to the store is automatically generated according to the accepted selection.

  For example, when the selection of the “very satisfied” icon shown in FIG. 10A is accepted, a hash tag such as “#MAC_kuchikomi” is added to the post information “very satisfied” as shown in FIG. “Very satisfied #MAC_kuchikomi” is automatically generated as post information. Then, the posted information is freely edited, or the automatically generated posted information is transmitted as it is when the selection of the tweet button 111 is accepted. Thereby, a user's labor concerning contribution of contribution information about a store can be reduced greatly, and contribution of contribution information about an aggressive store can be promoted.

  Similar processing can be performed when the card payment is performed by a mobile phone. That is, when payment is performed with a card or the like in a store, the card information used for payment is read by bringing the mobile phone closer to the reader. When the reading of the card information can be confirmed, and when the user is authenticated as a legitimate user, a screen capable of accepting post information regarding the store is displayed on the display unit of the mobile phone.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the posted information related to the store posted together with the keyword assigned by the server 3 can be browsed. Therefore, the posted information related to the store that can be browsed using the keyword as key information is displayed. It is possible to sort out, without giving an incorrect keyword, and it is possible to reliably browse only post information relating to a store that is desired information.

  In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and replacements are possible within the scope of the gist of the present invention. For example, as a posting system, it is needless to say that other posting system having immediacy may be used instead of Twitter (registered trademark).
