  In the present embodiment, the management information shown in FIG. 5 is managed by the CS mediation server 30. The management information is stored in association with the orderer ID, order information, and pre-order information. The orderer ID corresponds to the orderer. The order information is, for example, a review posting request, a data input request, and the like, and relates to information that the orderer wants to collect from the user. The pre-order information is information used for screening a user who is suitable for requesting order information, and will be described in detail later. In addition, the management information may include information related to delivery date, information related to the due date, information related to incentives, screening conditions (described later), rescreening conditions (described later), and other auxiliary information related to ordering.

  In addition, you may comprise so that the user terminal 20 may bear a part of various functions as an information processing apparatus regarding the said CS mediation server 30. FIG. In this case, what is necessary is just to comprise the said information processing apparatus by the user terminal 20 and CS mediation server 30. FIG.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 6, the flow of processing of the CS mediation system according to this exemplary embodiment will be described. The orderer transmits ordering information and pre-ordering information to the CS mediation server 30 through the orderer-side terminal 10 (SQ101). The CS mediation server 30 manages the received order information and pre-order information, and transmits pre-order information to a plurality of user terminals whose terminal addresses are registered in advance by member registration or the like (SQ102). As a specific transmission method, it may be possible to notify each of the user terminals 20 of information (URL or the like) for accessing the pre-order information by push notification, but the pre-order information has come. The method is not limited to this, such as simple notification, e-mail notification, notification by a message application, or the like. In the figure, for simplicity of explanation, only one user terminal 20 is shown. The user terminal 20 prompts the user to perform work by displaying the contents of the pre-order information for each user terminal 20.

  The pre-order information in the present embodiment is information used for screening a user who is suitable for requesting order information. For example, if the ordering information is “Review review of a certain product”, the pre-order information includes “whether you own the product”, “whether you have used the product”, etc. It will be confirmed whether the necessary conditions are satisfied. In addition, if the ordering information is “translation of text written in English”, the pre-ordering information may be in English such as “Translate the following English into Japanese” or “Which is appropriate as a Japanese translation of English?” It's like asking skills. When the user's work for the pre-order information as described above is completed, the user terminal 20 returns the work result to the CS mediation server 30 (SQ103).

  The CS mediation server 30 that has received the reply within the reply deadline screens a specific user terminal that has sent a reply that satisfies a predetermined condition, and sets the user of the specific user terminal as a candidate for sending order information. In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, when the number of screened specific user terminals is equal to or less than a predetermined number, rescreening for relaxing the screening conditions may be performed. For example, in the case of the above-mentioned ordering information “Review review of a certain product”, only the terminal of the user who answered yes to “Do you own the product” of the pre-ordering information as the initial screening condition is the specific user terminal. The terminal of the user who replied “yes” to the “whether the product has been used” as the re-screening condition may be added to the specific user terminal. In the case of ordering information “translation of text written in English”, only the terminal of the user who correctly answered all the composition “Translate the following English into Japanese” as the initial screening condition is designated as the specific user terminal. The terminal of the user who correctly answered “Which is appropriate as a Japanese translation of English” with a low difficulty level as a screening condition may be added to the specific user terminal. Thereby, the number of specific user terminals can be increased flexibly.

  The CS mediation server transmits ordering information to the specific user terminal (SQ104). The order information may be transmitted simultaneously to each specific user terminal after a predetermined number of specific user terminals have been secured, or may be transmitted whenever the specific user terminal is recognized by screening. .

  The user terminal (specific user terminal) 20 prompts the user to perform work by displaying the contents of the ordering information for the user. In the above-described example, “post review of a certain product” and “translation of text written in English” are actually ordered. The user performs work on the order, and transmits the work result as a deliverable to the CS mediation server 30 via the terminal (SQ105).

  After receiving the deliverables from all the specific user terminals that have sent the ordering information, the CS mediation server 30 sends the deliverables to the orderer side terminal 10 for delivery.

  As a modified example of the above-described embodiment, for example, a position information request is transmitted to a plurality of user terminals before transmission of pre-order information, and position registration is performed within a predetermined area at a predetermined condition (for example, at a predetermined time). Only the user terminal that has returned terminal location information (including location information registered in the past) that satisfies (whether or not there was) may be set as the transmission target of the pre-order information. The returned terminal location information may be used only as a screening condition, not as a condition for determining whether or not to send the pre-order information.

  Further, the position information request may be sent simultaneously with the pre-order information transmission and added to the screening conditions described above. When screening and re-screening, the number of terminals that transmit order information is limited by limiting the area that is a condition of location information, or the number of terminals that transmit order information is increased by expanding the area. It is good to do.

  In addition, it is possible to acquire location information in advance by periodically transmitting a location information request to the user terminal, and use it as a transmission condition for pre-order information or a screening condition based on it. .

  According to the above modification, for example, it is possible to appropriately place order information (such as an information report on a disaster area) that is narrowed down to people who are in (or have) a certain area.

  The above-described embodiments are merely examples for facilitating understanding of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention can be changed and improved without departing from the gist thereof, and it is needless to say that the present invention includes equivalents thereof.
