Description

  The present invention relates to a system in which a character growth server that grows an electronic character that can be used by a user according to an attribute accumulated for each user and a mobile terminal that displays the electronic character are connected via a network. .

  Currently, there are various services using characters. For example, in a social network service on the Internet, a service is performed by allowing a user to use an image of a character (avatar) that is a substitute for the user. In this case, there is a service that allows the user to purchase items such as character clothes and to change the display mode of the character used by the user depending on the item.

  Characters are also used in car navigation systems. For example, in Patent Document 1, learning data related to preferences and learning data related to behavior patterns are created from a search history, an operation history, and a vehicle travel history in a user's car navigation. An invention is disclosed in which the character growth degree is calculated from the difference amount, and the character display mode is changed in accordance with the growth degree.

[Functional block diagram of Character Growth Server 1]
FIG. 4 is a functional block diagram of the character growth server 1. It should be noted that the functions of the character growth server 1 are those in which at least these functions are realized by hardware and software in relation to the present embodiment, and other functions may be realized.

  The character growth server 1 includes a receiving unit 111, a visited site attribute holding unit 112, a user information holding unit 113, a visited site attribute determining unit 114, a user attribute holding unit 115, a user attribute updating unit 116, a growth condition holding unit 117, a growth determination. A means 118, a character information holding unit 119, a character image acquisition means 120, a transmission means 121, and a growth condition update means 122 are configured.

The transmission unit 121 and the reception unit 111 are realized mainly by the communication control unit 14 in FIG.
The visited place attribute determination means 114, the user attribute update means 116, the growth determination means 118, the character image acquisition means 120, and the growth condition update means 122 read the application stored in the storage unit 12 of FIG. This is realized by the execution of the control unit 11. Further, the growth condition updating unit 122 receives information from the input unit 15 shown in FIG.
The visited place attribute holding unit 112, the user information holding unit 113, the user attribute holding unit 115, the growth condition holding unit 117, and the character information holding unit 119 are realized mainly by the storage unit 12 in FIG.

  The receiving unit 111 receives the user ID and the visited place information from the mobile terminal 2. In the means described below (excluding the growth condition update means 122), processing is performed in association with the received user ID.

As shown in FIG. 6, the visited place attribute holding unit 112 is a database that holds attributes and attribute values corresponding to the visited place information.
As illustrated in FIG. 7, the user information holding unit 113 is a database that holds an exclusion attribute corresponding to a user ID and a character ID corresponding to the user ID.

  The visited place attribute determining means 114 determines an attribute and an attribute value corresponding to the received visited place information for the user ID. First, the visited place attribute determining unit 114 acquires an attribute and an attribute value corresponding to the received visited place information from the visited place attribute holding unit 112. The attribute and attribute value corresponding to the visited place information are not limited to one set.

For example, when the visited place attribute holding unit 112 holds the following record,
(Italian Bar A, Italy, 3)
(Italian bar A, bar 1)
When the received visited place information is “Italian bar A” (A is a store name, for example), the acquired attributes and attribute values are “Italy: 3” and “Bar: 1”.
In addition, the visited place attribute holding unit 112 has unique attributes for the following visited places (Italian bar A, Italian bar A, 1)
In this case, when the received visited place information is “Italian bar A”, the acquired attribute and attribute value are “Italian bar A: 1”.

In addition, the visited place attribute holding unit 112 has a record ([139.7512, 139.7532] [35.7033, 35.7065], Tokyo Dome, 2) in which the visited place information value includes a range of longitude and latitude.
And the received visited place information is GPS position information “139.752209,
35.70548 ”, if the position information is included in the range of the visited place information of the record (included in this example), the acquired attribute and attribute value are“ Tokyo Dome: 2 ” become that way.

Next, the visited site attribute determination unit 114 acquires an exclusion attribute corresponding to the received user ID from the user information holding unit 113.
For example, when the received user ID is “DNP012” and the user information holding unit 113 holds the following record,
(DNP012, bar)
The exclusion attribute “bar” is acquired.

  Next, when the acquired excluded attribute matches the acquired attribute corresponding to the visited place information, the visited place attribute determining unit 114 discards the attribute and the attribute value corresponding to the attribute, and It will not be used in the process.

  For example, for the user whose user ID is “DNP012”, the exclusion attribute “bar” is acquired, and the attributes “Italy: 3” and “bar: 1” are obtained for the visited place information “Italian bar A”. If the attribute value is acquired, “bar” is an excluded attribute, so the attribute and attribute value “bar: 1” are discarded.

  In this way, the visited place attribute determining means 114 determines the attribute and attribute value corresponding to the visited place information for the user ID.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the user attribute holding unit 115 is a database that holds cumulative attribute values corresponding to user IDs and attributes, and visit dates and times corresponding to user IDs and attributes.

  The user attribute update unit 116 updates the user attribute holding unit 115 using the attribute and attribute value related to the user ID determined by the visited site attribute determination unit 114.

  The user attribute update unit 116 first uses the attribute and attribute value related to the user ID determined by the visited site attribute determination unit 114 to the user attribute holding unit 115 to accumulative attribute values corresponding to the user ID and attribute. And the attribute value of the attribute is added to the accumulated attribute value to update the accumulated attribute value corresponding to the user ID and the attribute. Note that if the user attribute holding unit 115 does not have a cumulative attribute value corresponding to the user ID and attribute, the user attribute update unit 116 sets the attribute value of the attribute as the cumulative attribute value to the user ID and attribute. A record corresponding to the accumulated attribute value is inserted into the user attribute holding unit 115.

  Next, the user attribute update unit 116 inserts a record in which the visit date / time is associated with the user ID and attribute into the user attribute holding unit 115 using the current date / time as the visit date / time.

  For example, for the user “DNP012”, assuming that the attribute and attribute value determined by the visited-site attribute determining unit 114 are “Italy: 3”, the user attribute updating unit 116 It is assumed that the cumulative attribute value “30” corresponding to “DNP012” and “Italy” is acquired. At this time, the accumulated attribute value is “30” + “3” = “33”, and the user attribute updating unit 116 sets the accumulated attribute value corresponding to “DNP012” and “Italy” in the user attribute holding unit 115 to “ 33 ".

  If the current date and time is June 12, 2012, the user attribute update unit 116 sets the visit date and time corresponding to “DNP012” and “Italy” to “2012/06/12” and holds this record as the user attribute. Insert into part 115. The visit date / time (current date / time) may be the date alone or the date plus the time.

  The growth condition holding unit 117 is a database that holds growth conditions corresponding to character IDs, as shown in FIG. A specific example of the growth conditions held by the growth condition holding unit 117 is shown in FIG. Note that the “growth destination character name” shown in FIG. 10 is shown with reference to the meaning of the growth condition, and may be held by the growth condition holding unit 117, but in this embodiment, it will be described later with reference to FIG. It is assumed that the character information holding unit 119 holds it.

For example, the growth condition of the character ID “1” in FIG. 10 indicates that the accumulated attribute value of the attribute “Italy” is 100 or more. The growth destination character name at this time is “Italy character” because there are many accumulated attribute values of “Italy”.
Further, for example, in the growth condition where the character ID is “6”, the cumulative attribute value of the attribute “Restaurant AOO branch” is 10 or more, and the visit date and time is “2012/03” in the attribute “Restaurant AOO branch”. ”Indicates that there is something before“ 02 ”. The growth destination character name at this time is a specific visited place “Restaurant A” and has a limited period, so it can be set as “Limited period restaurant A character”.

Generalizing the growth conditions held by the growth condition holding unit 117 illustrated in FIG.
The condition that the cumulative attribute value of a certain attribute is compared with a predetermined value, and the condition that the visit date and time of a certain attribute is compared with a predetermined date and time are growth conditions, and further, when A and B are growth conditions,
(A) ∧ (B) and
(A) ∨ (B)
Is also a growth condition.

Returning to the description of FIG.
The growth determination means 118 associates the user ID and the character ID related to the growth condition when the accumulated attribute value of the attribute related to the user ID and the visit date / time satisfy the growth condition.

  First, the growth determination unit 118 acquires all the attributes and accumulated attribute values corresponding to the user ID, and the attributes and visit date / time corresponding to the user ID from the user attribute holding unit 115. Next, the growth determination unit 118 acquires a growth condition for each character ID from the growth condition holding unit 117, and the attribute, accumulated attribute value, and visit date / time acquired from the user attribute holding unit 115 indicate the growth condition. Determine if it is satisfied. When satisfied, the growth determination unit 118 inserts a record in which the user ID is associated with the character ID corresponding to the growth condition into the user information holding unit 113. When the user information holding unit 113 already has a record in which the user ID and the character ID are associated with each other, the growth determination unit 118 does not need to insert the record.

For example, it is assumed that a user having the user ID “DNP012” has the following record in the user attribute holding unit 115. “350” and “20” are cumulative attribute values.
(DNP012, Italy, 350)
(DNP012, Italy, 2012/01/20)
(DNP012, Italy, 2012/06/10)
(DNP012, Restaurant AXX Branch, 20)
(DNP012, Restaurant AXX Branch, 2012/02/01)
Then, the growth determination unit 118 acquires these records from the user attribute holding unit 115 for the user ID “DNP012”. Next, assuming that the records held by the growth condition holding unit 117 are as shown in FIG. 10, the growth conditions corresponding to the characters 1, 3, and 6 are satisfied. In addition,
(DNP012, 1)
(DNP012, 3)
(DNP012, 6)
Insert the record. If these records already exist, there is no need to insert them.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the character information holding unit 119 is a database that holds a character image and a character name corresponding to a character ID. The character name is not required.

The character image acquisition unit 120 acquires a character image corresponding to the user ID.
Specifically, the character image acquisition unit 120 acquires a character ID corresponding to the user ID from the user information holding unit 113. Next, the character image acquisition unit 120 acquires a character image and a character name corresponding to the acquired character ID from the character information holding unit 119.

  The transmission unit 121 transmits the character image and the character name acquired by the character image acquisition unit 120 to a terminal (mobile terminal) corresponding to the user ID. At this time, the transmission unit 121 may also receive and transmit the character ID from the character image acquisition unit 120.

The growth condition update means 122 is for the administrator of the character growth server 1 to update the character growth conditions.
Specifically, the growth condition update unit 122 receives an input of growth conditions from the administrator in the format described in the description of the growth condition holding unit 117.

  The growth condition update unit 122 receives an input of a character image and a character name corresponding to the growth condition from the administrator. The character image input by the administrator may be input from a scanner or camera (not shown in FIG. 2), or may be input from the media input / output unit 13 or the communication control unit 14 via the network 3, It doesn't matter how.

  Next, the growth condition update unit 122 generates a character ID and inserts a record in which the character ID and the growth condition are associated with each other into the growth condition holding unit 117. Further, the growth condition update unit 122 inserts a record in which the character ID, the character image, and the character name are associated with each other into the character information holding unit 119.

  The growth condition update unit 122 may also receive an input of a character ID from the administrator. In this case, when a record having the character ID exists in the growth condition holding unit 117 and the character information holding unit 119. Is updated with the growth condition, character image, and character name corresponding to the character ID.

[Functional block diagram of portable terminal 2]
FIG. 5 is a functional block diagram of the mobile terminal 2. Note that the functions of the mobile terminal 2 are those in which at least these functions are realized by hardware and software in relation to the present embodiment, and other functions may be realized.

  The mobile terminal 2 includes a visited place detection unit 131, a transmission unit 132, a character holding unit 133, a reception unit 134, a display unit 135, and a selection unit 136.

The transmission unit 132 and the reception unit 134 are realized mainly by the communication control unit 23 in FIG.
The visited place detection unit 131, the display unit 135, and the selection unit 136 are realized by reading the application stored in the storage unit 22 of FIG. 3 into the RAM and executing the control unit 21.

The visited place detecting means 131 acquires visited place information.
Specifically, the visited place detecting means 131 obtains GPS position information as visited place information from the GPS chip 24 in response to a visit place information obtaining instruction from the user.

Alternatively, when the user issues a visit location information acquisition instruction and the portable terminal 2 is brought close to the NFC chip-equipped terminal installed in the store or the like, the visited place detection unit 131 moves the NFC chip 25 from the NFC chip-equipped terminal. The store information such as the store location information and the store name is acquired as the visited site information.
Alternatively, the visited place detecting means 131, when the user gives the visited place information acquisition instruction and brings the portable terminal 2 close to the RFID tag or the like installed in the store or the like, an RFID reader / writer (not shown) is attached from the RFID tag. The store information such as the store location information and the store name is acquired as the visited site information.

  The transmitting unit 132 transmits the visited site information acquired by the visited site detecting unit 131 and the user ID unique to the user of the mobile terminal 2 to the character growth server 1. This user ID is set in advance with the character growth server 1 by the user.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the character holding unit 133 is a database that holds character images and character names corresponding to character IDs. The selected character ID, which is the character ID of the character image selected by the user, is also held. The character name may not be present.

  The receiving unit 134 receives the character ID, the character image, and the character name from the character growth server 1 and stores them in the character holding unit 133. The character ID may be numbered by the receiving means 134 (portable terminal 2) without receiving the character ID. The character name may not be present.

The display unit 135 displays the character image held by the character holding unit 133 on the display unit 27.
When the receiving unit 134 receives a signal that the receiving unit 134 has received a character image or the like from the character growth server 1, the display unit 135 displays the character image (and character name) corresponding to the selected character ID held in the character holding unit 133. Acquired and displayed on the display unit 27.

  Alternatively, the display unit 135 may directly acquire the character image corresponding to the selected character ID held in the character holding unit 133 from the receiving unit 134 and display it on the display unit 27. In these cases, when the character image corresponding to the selected character ID is already displayed on the display unit 27, the display is updated to a new character image.

  Further, when receiving a selection request signal from the selection unit 136 described later, the display unit 135 acquires all or a predetermined number of character images from the character holding unit 133 and displays them on the display unit 27. Thereafter, when receiving a selection completion signal from the selection unit 136, the display unit 135 acquires and displays a character image corresponding to the selected character ID from the character holding unit 133.

The selection unit 136 allows the user to select one to be used as the main character image from among a plurality of character images.
When the selection unit 136 receives a selection request from the user via the input unit 26, the selection unit 136 transmits a selection request signal to the display unit 135. When the selection unit 136 receives a selected character ID as a desired character ID from the input unit 26 from the user, the selection unit 136 stores the selected character ID in the character holding unit 133 and transmits a selection completion signal to the display unit 135. To do.
