FIG. 6 is a second diagram showing a display example of the terminal 1.
FIG. 6 shows a display example of the posted information browsing page when the terminal 1 acquires the posted information list from the SNS server 2 and displays it in step S4 described above. The terminal 1 acquires the posted information posted based on the check-in of the check-in points in a predetermined range based on the current position of the terminal 1 from the SNS server 2. The display unit 12 of the terminal 1 displays the posted information viewing page (FIG. 6) on the screen. At this time, the display unit 12 of the terminal 1 displays the number of posted information and the value volume value of the token specified at the time of posting the posted information for each posted information according to the predetermined position (check-in point) checked in. Post information according to the check-in position is displayed on the post information browsing page in a manner based on. Specifically, the display unit 12 of the terminal 1 displays check-in point icons (a1 to a6) indicating a plurality of posted information corresponding to a certain check-in point as one object on the posted information viewing page. At this time, the display unit 12 of the terminal 1 displays the number of posted information according to the check-in on the posted information browsing page as an icon. Further, the display unit 12 of the terminal 1 displays an icon on the posted information browsing page in a size corresponding to the number of posted information corresponding to the check-in. Further, the display unit 12 of the terminal 1 displays a photograph such as the face of the posting user of the posted information posted by designating the most value volume at the time of posting on the icon on the posted information viewing page. In this process, the display unit 12 of the terminal 1 displays the post chain object displayed on the terminal 1 when the maximum value of the consumption token at the time of posting of the post information included in the object is updated. The display may be updated to display an icon indicating the user (token consumer) who posted the posted information having the highest consumption value. This corresponds to the processing of the update unit (appropriately referred to as an update means) that updates the display of the chain to the display indicating the token consumer with the highest value when the maximum value of the consumption token of the post in the chain is updated. Alternatively, the display unit 12 of the terminal 1 displays an icon having a size based on the total value of the value volumes of the tokens specified at the time of posting the posted information and having a size corresponding to each check-in point.

FIG. 7 is a first diagram showing a processing flow of the token consumption type SNS system 100.
Next, with reference to FIG. 7, the check-in operation, the processing of each device in the operation of assigning the token value volume at check-in, and the exchange of information between the devices will be described.

Check-in points will be set up at each point in the area. At the check-in point, an identification information providing unit that provides identification information that can be read by the terminal 1 is arranged. In the present embodiment, the identification information providing unit includes a member (hereinafter, referred to as an NFC terminal) that transmits identification information according to an NFC (Near Field Communication) standard. When the user holds the terminal 1, the NFC terminal performs non-contact communication with the terminal 1 and transmits the check-in point ID to the terminal 1. The identification information providing unit may be a member having a one-dimensional code or a two-dimensional code in which the check-in point ID is stored as information. This member may be a sticker on which a two-dimensional code is printed. The user operates the terminal 1 and reads the two-dimensional code using the camera provided in the terminal 1. The posting processing unit 14 of the terminal 1 detects the check-in point ID read from the identification information providing unit (eg, NFC terminal, sticker on which the two-dimensional code is printed) (step S101). This process corresponds to the process of the check-in unit (appropriately referred to as a check-in means) that reads the identification information and checks in at the terminal 1. Further, the posting processing unit 14 acquires the current position such as latitude and longitude from the position detecting device provided in the terminal 1. The position detection device is a device that detects the latitude and longitude of the terminal 1 based on a signal obtained from, for example, a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System).

The SNS server 2 stores in advance the information regarding the position where the identification information presenting unit that provides the checkpoint ID is arranged and the check-in point ID in association with each other. For example, the SNS server 2 stores information (example, table) in which the check-in point ID and the installation position of the NFC terminal that transmits the check-in point ID are associated with each other. The SNS server 2 may store information (eg, table) in which the checkpoint ID and the position where the sticker of the two-dimensional code including the information of the checkinpoint ID is attached are associated with each other. Therefore, the check-in point ID is an aspect of the location information regarding the location point of the user of the terminal 1 who has detected the check-in point ID. The posting processing unit 14 transmits a consideration grant request including at least a check-in point ID, a user ID, and a current position to the SNS server 2 (step S102).

The SNS server 2 receives the consideration grant request. The consideration giving unit 22 of the SNS server 2 acquires the consideration giving request. The consideration giving unit 22 acquires the check-in point ID, the user ID, and the current position of the terminal 1 from the consideration giving request. The consideration giving unit 22 determines whether or not the condition of giving consideration is satisfied by using the check-in point ID and / or the user ID (step S103). For example, the SNS processing unit 25 of the SNS server 2 acquires the position of the check-in point to be stored corresponding to the check-in point ID from the database. When the distance between the position of the check-in point and the current position of the terminal 1 is equal to or less than a predetermined distance, the SNS processing unit 25 determines that the condition for giving consideration is satisfied. The SNS processing unit 25 refers to the current position of the terminal 1 and confirms that it is within a certain distance from the check-in point, thereby requesting consideration from the terminal 1 from a position completely different from the position of the check-in point. It is possible to prevent fraud prevention such as transmission of. The constant distance may be, for example, 1 km. The SNS processing unit 25 may determine by other processing whether the terminal 1 that has transmitted the consideration grant request satisfies the consideration grant condition.

When the SNS processing unit 25 determines that the terminal 1 that has transmitted the consideration grant request satisfies the consideration grant condition, the consideration granting unit 22 grants the value of the token based on the check-in point ID and the user ID. The volume is determined (step S104). As an example, the consideration giving unit 22 determines the value volume stored in the SNS server 2 in association with the check-in point ID as the value volume of the token to be given. Alternatively, the consideration giving unit 22 may determine the value volume of the token to be given according to the attributes such as the rank and level set for the user ID, the access frequency, and the virtual position. Note that this process corresponds to the process of the granting unit (appropriately referred to as granting means) that grants the token in the SNS server 2.

The token management unit 23 stores the value of the value volume of the token held at the check-in point indicated by the check-in point ID in the database. The token management unit 23 transmits the value of the value volume determined to be given to the terminal 1 among the value volume values of the tokens held at the check-in point indicated by the check-in point ID from the check-in point that is the transmission source. The value transfer information indicating that the terminal 1 is to be transmitted to the user of the terminal 1 is transmitted to the blockchain system 3 (step S105). Each node device 31 of the blockchain system 3 stores the information that the value volume is transmitted from the source to the destination indicated by the value transfer information by using a process of constructing a known blockchain.

The token management unit 23 acquires the value volume of the token held by the check-in point indicated by the check-in point ID from the holding token table recorded in the database, and subtracts the value volume given to the terminal 1 from the value volume. , Update the value in the holding token table. Further, the token management unit 23 acquires the value volume of the token held by the user ID indicating the user who uses the terminal 1 from the holding token table recorded in the database, and adds the value volume given to the terminal 1 to the value volume. Addition, update the value of the possessed token table. As a result, the token management unit 23 updates the value volume of the check-in point stored in the SNS server 2 and the token held by the terminal 1 (step S106).

In addition, the token management unit 23 links the check-in point ID acquired from the consideration grant request, the user ID, the current position of the terminal 1, the time when the consideration grant request is acquired, and the value volume of the token granted to the terminal to a database. May be recorded in the processing history table. When the above consideration giving process is completed, the consideration giving unit 22 notifies the SNS processing unit 24 of the completion of the consideration giving process.

The SNS processing unit 24 transmits the consideration grant completion information to the terminal 1 (step S107). The consideration grant completion information includes information on the value volume of the updated token held by the user who uses the terminal 1 and the value volume of the newly granted token. The terminal 1 receives the consideration grant completion information. When the token processing unit 13 of the terminal 1 receives the consideration grant completion information, the display unit 12 displays the value volume of the granted token and the value volume of the updated token currently held by the user due to the grant. (Step S108).

Through the above processing, the user can receive compensation for moving to the check-in point by performing a check-in operation in which the check-in point ID is read by the terminal 1 at the check-in point.

FIG. 8 is a second diagram showing a processing flow of the token consumption type SNS system 100.
Next, with reference to FIG. 8, the processing of each device at the time of posting the posted information and the exchange of information between the devices will be described.

After performing the check-in operation at the check-in point, if the check-in point at the location point is of interest to the user, the user may post post information including an article about the interest. When making this post, the user operates the terminal 1 to instruct the display of the post page. The posting processing unit 14 of the terminal 1 detects an instruction to display the posting page (step S201). The posting processing unit 14 instructs the display unit 12 to display the posting page to be stored in advance. The display unit 12 displays the posting page (FIG. 5) on the display (step S202).

The user operates the terminal 1 and inputs an article or a comment regarding the object of interest in the input field of the body of the posting page. In addition, the user operates the terminal 1 to input a title related to the posted information in the title input field. In addition, the user may operate the terminal 1 to add an image of interest taken by the shooting function of the terminal 1 to the image addition field. The posting processing unit 14 of the terminal 1 acquires map information including the current position from the map server based on the position information of the terminal 1, and displays the map information in the map display field of the posting page. Further, the user operates the terminal 1 and inputs the value of the token value volume in the value volume input field required for carrying out the posting. The value of the value volume may be freely determined by the user. Further, the minimum value of the value volume may be predetermined.

The user operates the terminal 1 and presses the post button displayed on the post page. Then, the posting processing unit 14 of the terminal 1 detects the pressing of the posting button (step S203). The post processing unit 14 includes a user ID, a check-in point ID, an input title, a text such as an article or a comment, an added image, a token value volume required for posting, and a current position detected by the terminal 1. Post information including such information is transmitted to the SNS server 2 (step S204).

The posting processing unit 14 of the terminal 1 may determine whether or not the posting conditions are satisfied before transmitting the posting information to the SNS server 2. For example, the posting processing unit 14 acquires the position information of the check-in point indicated by the check-in point ID of the terminal 1 from the SNS server 2. When the distance between the position information of the check-in point and the current position of the terminal 1 is equal to or less than a predetermined distance, the posting processing unit 14 may determine that the posting condition is satisfied. In this case, the terminal 1 can transmit the posted information only when the terminal 1 is still located near the check-in point. In addition, the posting processing unit 14 determines whether the value volume of the input token is at least the minimum value. When the value volume of the input token is equal to or greater than the minimum value, the posting processing unit 14 may determine that the posting condition is satisfied. Alternatively, the posting processing unit 14 calculates the difference between the time when the check-in operation is performed at the check-in point and the current time. If the difference is within 24 hours, the posting processing unit 14 may determine that the posting conditions are satisfied. The posting processing unit 14 may send the posting information to the SNS server 2 only when the posting of the posting information satisfies the posting conditions. Note that this process corresponds to the process of granting means for granting the right to post an article associated with the checked-in location on the terminal 1.

The SNS server 2 receives the posted information. Then, the SNS processing unit 24 acquires the posted information. The SNS processing unit 24 generates a post ID for the acquired post information (step S205). The SNS processing unit 24 includes a user ID, a check-in point ID, an input title, a text such as an article or a comment, an added image, a token value volume necessary for carrying out the posting, and a terminal 1 included in the posting information. Information such as the current position detected by is linked to the newly generated post ID and recorded in the post information table held by the database (step S206). In the above processing, the posting section (as appropriate, as appropriate) that causes the terminal 1 and the SNS server 2 to exercise the granted rights, specify the token to be consumed, and post the article as a chain connected to other articles posted by other users. Corresponds to the processing of (called posting means).

The SNS processing unit 24 acquires the user ID and the value of the token value volume from the posted information. The SNS processing unit 24 acquires the value volume of the token held by the user indicated by the user ID from the holding token table recorded in the database, subtracts the value volume included in the posted information from the holding token table, and holds the holding token. Update the values in the table. Further, the SNS processing unit 24 acquires the value volume of the token owned by the administrator who manages the own server from the retained token table recorded in the database, and adds the value volume acquired from the posted information to the value volume. And update the value of the holding token table. As a result, the SNS processing unit 24 updates the value volume of the tokens held by the terminal 1 and the SNS server 2 stored in the SNS server 2 (step S207).

Further, the SNS processing unit 24 indicates that the value volume acquired from the posted information is transmitted from the terminal 1 used by the user with the user ID as the transmission source to the SNS server 2 as the transmission destination in the database. Is transmitted to the blockchain system 3 (step S208). Each node device 31 of the blockchain system 3 stores the information that the value volume is transmitted from the source to the destination indicated by the value transfer information by using a process of constructing a known blockchain.

By the above processing, the user can post the posted information regarding the interest target of the check-in point using the terminal 1 by designating the value volume of the predetermined token.

FIG. 9 is a third diagram showing a processing flow of the token consumption type SNS system 100.
Next, using FIG. 9, the processing flow when the terminal 1 acquires the posted information posted in the token consumption type SNS system 100 and displays the posted information viewing page (FIG. 6) will be described.
The terminal 1 transmits a browsing page request to the SNS server 2 based on the display instruction of the posting information browsing page (step S301). The browsing page request can be made to display the posted information of another terminal on the own terminal and browse it even in the situation where the terminal 1 has not posted the posted information. The browsing page request includes a user ID, the current position of the terminal 1, and the like.

The SNS server 2 receives the browsing page request. The SNS processing unit 24 acquires the user ID and the current position of the terminal 1 that has transmitted the browsing page request from the browsing page request. The SNS processing unit 24 identifies the check-in point ID within a predetermined distance from the current position of the terminal 1 (step S302). Specifically, the SNS processing unit 24 calculates the distance between the current position of the terminal 1 and the position of each check-in point registered in the database in association with the check-in point ID, and the distance is within a predetermined distance. Identify the check-in point ID of the check-in point of. The SNS processing unit 24 acquires the posted information recorded within 24 hours based on the current time among the posted information recorded in the posted information table in association with the specified check-in point ID (step S303). .. Based on the acquired post information, the SNS processing unit 24 has a post ID included in the post information, a check-in point ID associated with the post ID, a user ID associated with the post ID, a post time, and a token specified at the time of posting. Browsing page information that lists the relationships such as the value of the value volume for each post ID is generated (step S304). The SNS processing unit 24 transmits the browsing page information to the terminal 1 (step S305).

The SNS processing unit 24 identifies a predetermined number of check-in points and posted information close to the terminal 1 in the listed information included in the browsing page information, and lists only the browsing page information. May be sent. As a result, the information displayed on the display unit of the terminal 1 may be limited so that a large amount of information is not displayed unnecessarily. For example, the SNS processing unit 24 identifies check-in points in order of proximity to the current location, and generates a list of browsing page information showing only information on a predetermined number of check-in points. Alternatively, the SNS processing unit 24 may specify the posted information in descending order of the value volume of the token specified by the user at the time of posting, and generate a list of browsing page information showing only the information related to the posted information.

The terminal 1 receives the browsing page information. The display unit 12 of the terminal 1 generates a browsing page based on the browsing page information (step S306). Specifically, the display unit 12 calculates the number of post IDs (number of posts) for each check-in point ID from the list included in the browsing page information. Further, the display unit 12 acquires map information from the SNS server 2 or another map information distribution server with reference to the current position of the terminal 1. The display unit 12 generates a browsing page for displaying the acquired map and circular checkpoint icons for each check-in point ID on the map. The display unit 12 displays the browsing page on the display (step S307).

The display unit 12 displays the number of post IDs (number of posts) for the corresponding check-in point on the checkpoint icon for each check-in point ID. Further, the display unit 12 identifies the post ID having the largest value volume value among the post IDs associated with the same check-in point ID in the list included in the browsing page information, and the user ID associated with the post ID. The account image is acquired from the SNS server 2. The display unit 12 specifies the number of post IDs for each check-in point ID and the value of the most value volume at the time of posting the post information at the check-in point ID in the checkpoint icon for each check-in point ID. The account image is displayed alternately.

Based on the post ID associated with the same check-in point ID in the list included in the browsing page information, the display unit 12 sets the value volume specified when the post information indicated by the post ID is posted to the SNS server. Get from 2. The display unit 12 may change the size and color of the circle of the checkpoint icon according to a value such as the total value of the value volumes. For example, the process of displaying the checkpoint icon may be performed so that the larger the total value, the larger the circular size of the checkpoint icon. The user can recognize the magnitude of the topicality of the interest indicated by the check-in point by the size and color of the checkpoint icon.

By the above processing, the browsing page as shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on the display of the terminal 1. By clicking the checkpoint icon, the user can check the posted information about the check-in point indicated by the checkpoint icon. As an example, the user clicks the checkpoint icon on the terminal 1. The terminal 1 detects the click operation of the checkpoint icon (step S308). Then, the display unit 12 of the terminal 1 identifies the check-in point ID corresponding to the check point icon, and acquires the information held in the list in the browsing page information in association with the check-in point ID. The display unit 12 displays a list of information in the list related to the check-in point ID (step S309). In this list, the user name, the title of the posting information, the posting time, and the like are displayed. The user selects a desired user's post from the list. The terminal 1 accepts the selection, and the terminal 1 transmits a posting information transmission request including a posting ID for the selected information to the SNS server 2 (step S310).

The SNS server 2 receives the posting information transmission request. The SNS processing unit 24 of the SNS server 2 acquires the posting ID from the posting information transmission request. The SNS processing unit 24 acquires the post information indicated by the post ID from the post information table. The SNS processing unit 24 transmits the posted information to the terminal 1 (step S311). The terminal 1 receives the posted information. Then, the display unit of the terminal 1 generates a post content confirmation page based on the post information, and displays the post content confirmation page on the display (step S312). The post content confirmation page displays information such as the user name, user account image, post time, title, body of the article or comment, and the position of the check-in point of interest in the post, which is the content of the post information.

By the above processing, the user can confirm the posted information posted by himself / herself or others. In the above process, the SNS server 2 extracts the information about the post recorded within 24 hours, but the post information recorded in the post information table in association with the specified check-in point ID. Browsing page information about all may be transmitted to the terminal 1 and information about the posted information recorded in the terminal 1 within 24 hours may be extracted. The SNS server 2 may delete the recorded information from the posted information table when the recorded information has passed for 24 hours or more.

In the above process, the display unit 12 of the terminal calculates the total value volume of the posted information for each check-in point based on the information included in the browsing page information, and checks in descending order of the total value volume value. You may generate a post content confirmation page that sorts and ranks the in points and displays it on the display. Alternatively, in the above process, the display unit 12 of the terminal 1 sorts the posted information in descending order of value volume according to the posted ID based on the information included in the browsing page information, and displays the posted content confirmation page in a ranking. It may be generated and displayed on the display. The ranking information may be generated in advance by the SNS processing unit 24 of the SNS server 2 and transmitted to the terminal 1 based on the request from the terminal 1.

In the posting of the posted information described in the processes of steps S201 to S208 described above, the posted information shows an example in which the posted information regarding the interest target of the check-in point is newly posted. By the processing of steps S301 to S312, the user can cite the posting information displayed on the terminal 1 and post new posting information. In this case, for example, a button for posting a quotation is displayed on the posting content confirmation page displayed on the terminal 1 in step S312 described above. The user operates the terminal 1 and clicks the quote post. The post processing unit 14 of the terminal 1 detects the click operation of the quoted post.

Then, the posting processing unit 14 of the terminal 1 instructs the display unit 12 to display the posting page to be stored in advance. The display unit 12 displays the posting page (FIG. 5) on the display in the same manner as in the process of step S202 described above. The subsequent processing is the same as the processing after step S202 described above. However, in the case of citation posting, the posting information may include the posting ID of the posting information of the citation source. In this case, the SNS server 2 receives the posted information, and the SNS processing unit 24 acquires the posted information. The SNS processing unit 24 generates a post ID for the acquired post information, and includes the user ID, check-in point ID, input title, text such as articles and comments, added images, and posts included in the post information. Information such as the value volume of the token required for implementation, the current position detected by the terminal 1, the post ID of the post information of the citation source, etc. is linked to the newly generated post ID and added to the post information table held by the database. Record.

In step S307 described above, the number of posts of the checkpoint icon on the browsing page displayed on the display by the terminal 1 is the total number of related multiple post information (post IDs) connected by the ID of the post information of the citation source. It may be the number of posts shown. For example, suppose that three post information, post information A, post information B whose citation source is post information A, and post information C whose citation source is post information B, are posted for a certain check-in point. In this case, the checkpoint icon displays a numerical value indicating the number of posts 3. Further, for example, a post information D whose citation source is not the post information A to C is posted, and the post information E whose citation source is the post information D, the post information F whose citation source is the post information E, and the post information F are cited. It is assumed that the four post information of the original post information G is posted for a certain check-in point. In this case, the checkpoint icon displays a numerical value indicating the number of posts 4. Since the posted information A to the posted information C and the posted information D to G do not have a quoting relationship of the posted information, the post processing unit 14 of the terminal 1 represents the posted information A to the posted information C by different checkpoint icons. One checkpoint icon and the second checkpoint icon indicating the posted information D to G may be displayed separately. The display unit 12 of the terminal 1 is based on the user's operation, and based on the total number of related posted information connected by the ID of the posted information of the citation source, the display unit 12 of the related plurality of posted information. The ranking information sorted by the unit of the group may be displayed. The ranking information may be generated in advance by the SNS processing unit 24 of the SNS server 2 and transmitted to the terminal 1 based on the request from the terminal 1.

FIG. 10 is a fourth diagram showing a processing flow of the token consumption type SNS system 100.
Next, with reference to FIG. 10, a process in which the user of the terminal 1 assigns a token value volume to a user who uses another terminal will be described. When the user grants the token value volume to another user, the user specifies the user's icon on the post content confirmation page displayed on the terminal 1 on the terminal 1, or the destination to the terminal 1. Tokens are given by displaying the user's profile list page. The profile list page is information transmitted by the SNS server to the terminal 1 in response to a request from the terminal 1.

The token processing unit 13 of the terminal 1 detects the designation of the user's icon on the posted content confirmation page or the designation of a certain user on the profile list page. The token processing unit 13 instructs the display unit 12 to display the token granting page. The display unit 12 outputs a token granting page to the display (step S401). The token granting page has a value volume input field for specifying the value of the value volume of the token to be granted. The user operates the terminal 1 and inputs the value of the value volume to be given in the value volume input field. A grant button is displayed on the gargling token grant page. The user operates the terminal 1 to press the grant button. The token processing unit 13 detects the pressing operation of the grant button (step S402). Then, the token processing unit 13 provides token grant information including grant source information indicating a user ID that uses the terminal 1, grant destination information indicating the user ID of the grant destination user, and the value volume value of the token to be granted. It is transmitted to the SNS server 2 (step S403).

The SNS server 2 receives the token grant information. The token management unit 23 acquires the token grant information. From the token grant information, the token management unit 23 acquires the user ID of the grant source user, the user ID of the grant destination user, and the value volume value of the token given to the grant destination user. The token management unit 23 acquires the value volume of the token possessed by the user indicated by the user ID of the grant source from the possessed token table recorded in the database, and subtracts the value volume acquired from the token grant information to the value volume. And update the value of the holding token table. Further, the token management unit 23 acquires the value volume of the token owned by the user indicated by the user ID of the grant destination from the possessed token table recorded in the database, and adds the value volume acquired from the token grant information to the value volume. Add and update the value in the possessed token table. As a result, the token management unit 23 updates the value volume of the tokens held by the grant source and grant destination users stored in the SNS server 2 (step S404).

Further, the SNS processing unit 24 blocks the value transfer information indicating that the value volume acquired from the token grant information is assigned from the user ID of the grant source to the user of the user ID of the grant destination in the database. It is transmitted to the chain system 3 (step S405). Each node device 31 of the blockchain system 3 stores information indicating that the value volume has been assigned from the grantor to the grantee, which is indicated by the value transfer information, by using a process of constructing a known blockchain.

By the above processing, the user can assign the token value volume to another desired user by using the terminal 1 by designating the token value volume.

According to the above-mentioned processing, the terminal 1 displays the topicality evaluation index for the posted information acquired in response to the acquisition request after the transmission of the acquisition request for the posted information related to the current position of the own terminal. The topicality evaluation index is, for example, the number of posts indicated by the above-mentioned checkpoint icon. Based on this number of posts, the user can recognize the topicality of the interest object indicated by the check-in point as an index. Check-in points may be various, for example, stores, public facilities, and the like. Further, as an example, the topicality index indicates the magnitude of the value of the value volume specified in the implementation of posting the above-mentioned posted information. As described above, the user can recognize the magnitude of the topicality of the interest object indicated by the check-in point by the size of the checkpoint icon.

In the above processing, when the SNS processing unit 24 of the SNS server 2 receives the post of the posted information that cites the citation source from the terminal 1, the new posting information cites one or more citation sources. It may be determined whether or not there is continuity of the article or comment with the posted information of, and the posting of new posted information may be permitted only when there is continuity. In this case, for example, the SNS processing unit 24 automatically recognizes and classifies the contents of articles and comments indicated by the posted information already posted in advance, and associates the classification flag indicating the classification result with each post ID to the post information table. Record in. Then, when the SNS processing unit 24 receives new post information that cites the post information of the citation source, the SNS processing unit 24 cites the article with the post information with one or more citation sources that the new post information cites. It is determined whether or not the classification flag of the comment or the comment matches the classification flag given by analyzing the article or comment included in the new posted information. The SNS processing unit 24 may allow posting of new posting information only when the classification flags match, and perform the processing of steps S205 to S208 described above.

Although the token consumption type SNS system 100 according to the present embodiment has been described above, the active use of the SNS can be promoted by the above-mentioned processing.
