[Outline of privilege management system S]
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a privilege management system S according to the present embodiment. The privilege management system S includes a privilege management server 1, a communication terminal 2, and a payment information management server 3. The privilege management server 1 associates with the user of the communication terminal 2 and determines the content of the privilege to be given to the user, and stores the content of the determined privilege to manage the privilege held by each user. It is a management device.

  The communication terminal 2 is a terminal having a communication function such as a smartphone, a tablet, or a computer. The communication terminal 2 can transmit and receive data to and from the privilege management server 1 via a network N including a mobile phone network and the Internet.

  The payment information management server 3 is a server that manages payment information when payment is made with a credit card in a store. The payment information includes information such as the date and time when the payment was made, the name of the store where the payment was made, the name of the purchased product, and the payment amount. The payment information management server 3 stores payment information in association with the user, and transmits the payment information to the privilege management server 1 in response to a request from the privilege management server 1.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a display of the communication terminal 2 on which information related to a privilege held by the user is displayed. FIG. 2 is displayed by the first application software installed in the communication terminal 2.

  FIG. 2A shows a screen for notifying that a stamp as an example of a privilege has been accumulated. The stamp is a privilege given each time the user acquires a predetermined number of points. When a predetermined number of stamps are accumulated, the user can execute a lottery (hereinafter referred to as “point lottery”) that can acquire a random number of points. In order to realize the effect of point-up by lottery, when a user first obtains a stamp, the user can draw a lottery at that point. FIG. 21 are displayed.

  When the user touches the image 21, the screen is switched to the screen of FIG. In FIG. 2 (b), information about stores that can use stamps is displayed. Specifically, stamps of A restaurant and B clothing store are accumulated, and an image 22 prompting the user to draw a point lottery is displayed. Further, in FIG. 2B, a store name “C coffee” from which a stamp can be obtained is displayed.

  When the user touches the image 22, the process is divided depending on whether or not the second application software for executing the stamp is installed in the communication terminal 2. When the second application software is installed, the first application software activates the second application software, and the second application software accesses the privilege management server 1 to execute the point lottery.

  On the other hand, when the second application software is not installed, the first application software displays a screen for installing the second application software. When the second application software is installed, the second application software is activated, and the second application software accesses the privilege management server 1 to execute the point lottery.

  Here, the user can execute the point lottery after the second application software is installed. However, the privilege management system S can be used within a predetermined period before the second application software is installed (for example, It is characterized in that a stamp is given retroactively to the amount that the user has settled with a credit card in the past three months). In addition, even when a store starts providing a stamp, the stamp is given retroactively to the amount that the user has settled with a credit card at the store within a predetermined period before starting the provision of the stamp. Yes.

In this way, in the privilege management system S, since the privilege is given back to the past when the user becomes able to use the privilege, the second used to use the privilege for the user. Can be motivated to install application software. A user who installs the second application software and uses a privilege (for example, a point lottery) realizes the benefit of the privilege, and is motivated to purchase a product using a credit card.
Hereinafter, the configuration and operation of the privilege management server 1 will be described in detail.

[Configuration of privilege management server 1]
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of the privilege management server 1. The privilege management server 1 includes a communication unit 11, a storage unit 12, and a control unit 13.
The communication unit 11 is a communication interface for connecting to the network N, and includes, for example, a LAN (Local Area Network) controller.

  The storage unit 12 includes a storage medium such as a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), and a hard disk. The storage unit 12 stores a program executed by the control unit 13. The storage unit 12 includes a privilege information DB 121 and a store information DB 122.

  The privilege information DB 121 is a database in which a user ID is associated with privilege information given to the user. The privilege information is, for example, a stamp that is given every time a user purchases a predetermined amount of merchandise at a store. The user ID is identification information unique to the user, and is associated with, for example, a contractor number of the communication terminal 2.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a record corresponding to one user among records corresponding to a plurality of users registered in the privilege information DB 121. In the record, the store name is associated with the number of points and stamps acquired by the user. If a point lottery can be drawn when 10 stamps are obtained, the user of the record shown in FIG. 4 can obtain a stamp enough to draw a point lottery at the A restaurant and the B clothing store.

  The store information DB 122 is a database in which a user ID and a plurality of registered store information corresponding to stores registered in the favorite list displayed on the communication terminal 2 are associated with each other. In the store information DB 122, store information of all stores that have contracted for services provided by the privilege management server 1 is registered. When the user designates store information to be registered in the user record among all the store information, the store information of the new store is registered as registered store information in the user record in the store information DB 122.

  The control unit 13 is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The control unit 13 functions as an acquisition unit 131, a privilege determination unit 132, a registration unit 133, and a display control unit 134 by executing a program stored in the storage unit 12.

  The acquisition unit 131 accesses the payment information management server 3 via the communication unit 11 and acquires payment information including a payment amount when payment is performed using a credit card in association with the user of the communication terminal 2. To do. The acquisition unit 131 acquires store information for specifying a store for which payment has been performed using a credit card in association with the payment amount. The acquisition unit 131 notifies the privilege determination unit 132 of the acquired payment information and store information.

  The privilege determining unit 132 is a privilege that can be used when receiving notification information notifying that predetermined application software (second application software for using a stamp) has been installed from the user's communication terminal 2. Determine the content. The content of the privilege is determined based on the payment amount in the payment performed in the past predetermined period among the payment amounts of the user acquired by the acquisition unit 131. For example, the privilege determining unit 132 determines the content of the privilege for each store to be given to the user based on the settlement amount for each store in the settlement performed in the past predetermined period.

  The privilege determination unit 132 is given based on the settlement amount in the settlement performed in a predetermined period before the time when the content of the privilege is inquired from the first application software of the communication terminal 2 The number of stamps to be given to the user is determined based on the number of. And if the privilege determination part 132 receives the notification that the 2nd application software was installed in the communication terminal 2 within the predetermined period after determining the number of stamps, the privilege based on the determined number of stamps A privilege is granted to the user by enabling the function.

  The privilege determining unit 132 is notified that the second application software has been installed in the communication terminal 2 after a predetermined period has elapsed since the number of stamps was determined by an inquiry from the first application software. In that case, the content of the privilege may be redetermined at that time. For example, the privilege determining unit 132 determines the number of usable stamps according to the length of the period from when the determined number of stamps is notified to the first application software until the second application software is installed. You may make it reduce. As described above, the privilege management server 1 displays the reduction in the number of usable stamps on the communication terminal 2 according to the length of the period until the second application software is installed. It is possible to prompt the user to quickly install the application software.

  The privilege determining unit 132 grants a privilege based on the settlement amount in the settlement performed in a predetermined period before that time, on condition that the user has settled for the first time after installing the second application. May be.

  When the registration unit 133 registers a new store in the store information DB 122, the privilege determination unit 132 determines the new store to be given to the user based on the payment amount in the settlement performed at the new store in the past predetermined period. The content of the privilege may be determined. In this way, when a new store starts a service for giving a stamp, the past settlement amount is taken into account, and thus the user can start using the stamp in a short period of time. The privilege determining unit 132 sets the settlement amount in the settlement performed in a predetermined period before that time on the condition that the user first settled in the new store after the new store started the service to give a stamp. You may give a privilege based on.

  Moreover, even if the privilege determination part 132 determines the content of the privilege for every store provided to a user based on the payment amount in the payment performed in the past predetermined period of the length defined for every store. Good. For example, the privilege determination unit 132 determines the privilege for each store given to the user based on the payment amount in the settlement performed in the past predetermined period corresponding to the purchase cycle of the product associated with the store. Determine the content. The “product associated with the store” is, for example, the product with the largest number of sales in the store. The “product associated with the store” may include a plurality of types of products sold at the store.

  Specifically, the privilege determining unit 132 is a target to which a privilege is granted when the average purchase cycle of products sold in a store is relatively short and a user frequently visits, such as a convenience store. Set the period going back to the past relatively short. On the other hand, if the average purchase cycle of products sold is relatively long and the frequency of user visits is relatively low, such as a clothing store, the period going back in the past as Set longer.

  Furthermore, the privilege determination unit 132 determines the content of the privilege to be given to the user based on the payment amount in the settlement performed in the past predetermined period corresponding to the product purchased by the user using the credit card. You may decide. For example, when the user purchases a relatively inexpensive product with a high purchase frequency, the privilege determining unit 132 sets a period that goes back to the past as a target to which the privilege is given. Conversely, when the user purchases a relatively expensive product with a low purchase frequency, the privilege determining unit 132 may set a period that goes back to the past as a target to which the privilege is given. By doing this, based on attributes such as the purchase cycle of the products sold at the store, the user is given the appropriate amount of benefits necessary for the user to realize the benefits of storing stamps. can do.

  The registration unit 133 registers a store to which the privilege determining unit 132 gives a privilege in the store information DB 122. The registration unit 133 registers a new store in the store information DB 122 by acquiring predetermined application information from the store via the communication unit 11, for example.

  When the display control unit 134 receives a notification requesting the content of a privilege held by the user from the communication terminal 2, the display control unit 134 displays the privilege information indicating the content of the privilege determined by the privilege determination unit 132 on the user's communication terminal 2. In order to do so, privilege information is transmitted to the communication terminal 2 via the communication unit 11. For example, the display control unit 134 accesses the privilege information DB 121 illustrated in FIG. 4, associates the store name, the number of acquired points, and the number of acquired stamps and transmits the associated information to the communication terminal 2, thereby associating the privilege information with the store information. Is displayed on the communication terminal 2.

  The display control unit 134 causes the communication terminal 2 to display a plurality of registered store information registered in the store information DB 122 when there is a request for browsing a plurality of registered store information included in the favorite list. Specifically, the display control unit 134 reads a plurality of registered store information registered in the store information DB 122 in association with the user of the communication terminal 2, and reads the plurality of registered store information read via the communication unit 11. Is transmitted to the communication terminal 2. The registered store information may include content itself displayed on the communication terminal 2, and the registered store information may include a URL for acquiring content displayed on the communication terminal 2.

[Flowchart of operation of privilege management server 1]
FIG. 5 is a flowchart of an operation in which the privilege management server 1 gives a stamp as a privilege to the user.
When the privilege determining unit 132 receives a request for confirming the number of stamps held by the user from the first application software (YES in S11), the privilege determining unit 132 receives the credit of the user in the past predetermined period from the settlement information management server 3. Payment information indicating the payment amount in the payment is acquired using the card (S12). When the privilege determining unit 132 acquires the settlement information, the privilege determining unit 132 determines the number of stamps for each store (S13). When the privilege determining unit 132 determines the number of stamps, the display control unit 134 transmits privilege information including the determined number of stamps to the communication terminal 2 (S14).

  Thereafter, when the privilege determining unit 132 receives a request for using the privilege from the second application software (YES in S15), the privilege determining unit 132 makes the stamp held by the user usable (S16). Specifically, the privilege determination unit 132 accesses the privilege information DB 121 and changes the flag associated with the stamp in the user's record to a state indicating “available”, thereby enabling the use of the stamp. To.

  When the privilege determination unit 132 makes the stamp usable, the privilege determination unit 132 notifies the display control unit 134 to that effect. The display controller 134 transmits point lottery screen data that can be executed using the stamp that is ready for use to the communication terminal 2 (S17). In the communication terminal 2, when the second application software receives point lottery screen data, an operation screen for executing the point lottery is displayed on the display.

  When receiving a notification that an operation for executing a point lottery has been performed in the communication terminal 2 (YES in S18), the privilege determining unit 132 generates a random number within a predetermined range and corresponds to the generated random number. Points are given to the user (S19).

[Effects of privilege management server 1]
As described above, in the privilege management server 1 according to the present embodiment, the privilege determination unit 132 acquires the content of a privilege that can be used when application software for using the privilege to be granted is installed. It is determined based on the payment amount in the payment performed in the past predetermined period among the payment amounts of the user acquired by the unit 131.

  In this way, the privilege management server 1 prompts the user to install the application software because the user can use the privilege promptly when the application software for using the granted privilege is installed. be able to. Then, the privilege management server 1 can motivate the user to purchase a product using a credit card by allowing the user who installed the application software to use the privilege to realize the merit of storing the privilege. It becomes possible.
