Further, each terminal may have, for example, an image pickup device that captures an image pickup target in response to an operation from a user who uses the own terminal. The image pickup device is, for example, a camera. Further, each terminal may have a positioning device for positioning the position of its own terminal. The positioning device is, for example, a GPS unit (GPS receiver) that outputs position information based on radio waves received from a GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite. The position information is information that identifies one point on the earth, such as latitude and longitude. Further, the positioning device is not limited to the GPS unit, and may be realized by an electronic compass (geomagnetic sensor) or the like.

Each terminal of the recruiter terminal 120, the participant terminal 130, and the donor terminal 140 is realized by, for example, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a personal computer, or the like.

The transportation server 150 is an example of a transportation computer according to the present invention. The transportation server 150 is a server managed by transportation such as a railway company. Transportation is a company that provides a service for transporting a customer who owns a transportation ticket (for example, a ticket, a ticket, a boarding ticket) by means of transportation such as a railroad, a bus, an airplane, or a ship. Further, the transportation system provides, for example, a service for selling transportation tickets via the network 160 (so-called "online ticket service").

Specifically, the transportation server 150 has a communication unit. Through this communication unit, the transportation server 150 can communicate with other computers such as the volunteer activity support server 110. Then, when the transportation server 150 receives a transportation ticket purchase request from another computer, the transportation server 150 performs a process of issuing a transportation ticket based on the received purchase request, and obtains the transportation ticket information related to the issued transportation ticket. Output to the computer (for example, the computer that requested the purchase).

The transportation ticket information includes, for example, image data representing a transportation ticket issued by the transportation server 150. Further, the transportation ticket information may include information indicating the contents of the transportation ticket issued by the transportation server 150 (for example, available sections, for example, how many stations to how many stations). good. The transportation server 150 is realized by, for example, a server computer, a workstation, a personal computer, or the like.

(Example of volunteer activity support method by volunteer activity support server 110)
Next, an example of the volunteer activity support method by the volunteer activity support server 110 will be described. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a volunteer activity support method by the volunteer activity support server according to the embodiment.

In FIG. 4, the recruiter 401 has a recruiter terminal 120. The recruiter 401 is an elderly person living in the city of A in a snowy country. Recruiter 401 uses the volunteer activity support system 100 because it is difficult to clear the snow at home by himself and he cannot afford to ask a contractor to clear the snow at home in his pension life. We have decided to recruit participants who can participate in the snow removal at home.

In this case, the recruiter 401 registers the volunteer activity information about the volunteer activity for recruiting participants in the volunteer activity support server 110 by using the recruiter terminal 120 (see (1) in FIG. 4). Volunteer activity information includes, for example, information indicating the work content and implementation location of volunteer activities. In addition, the volunteer activity information may include information indicating the implementation date of the volunteer activity. A specific example of volunteer activity information will be described later with reference to FIG.

The recruiter 401 can register the volunteer activity information in the volunteer activity support server 110, for example, via the volunteer activity information registration website provided on the volunteer activity support server 110. In the example of FIG. 4, the recruiter 401 indicates that the work content is "snowfall at home", the implementation location is "A city XX", and the implementation date is "December 27, 2017". It is assumed that the volunteer activity information shown is registered. Here, City A ○○ is the address (home location) of the recruiter 401. In addition, December 27, 2017 is the date set by the recruiter 401 as the day when the snow should be removed from the house.

In FIG. 4, the participant 402 has a participant terminal 130. Participant 402 is, for example, a student living in city B, which is far from city A. Participant 402 wanted to help people by participating in volunteer activities during the school's winter vacation. However, since the participant 402 is a student, he cannot afford it. Therefore, the participant 402 decided to use the volunteer activity support system 100 to search for volunteer activities that are recruiting participants.

In this case, the participant 402 uses the participant terminal 130 to browse the volunteer activity information registered in the volunteer activity support server 110 (see (2) in FIG. 4). Participant 402 can browse the volunteer activity information registered in the volunteer activity support server 110 by accessing, for example, the volunteer activity information browsing website provided on the volunteer activity support server 110.

In the example of FIG. 4, the participant 402 learned from the volunteer activity information that there is a volunteer activity of snowing down the recruiter 401's house as a volunteer activity recruiting participants. Participant 402 wanted to participate in the snow removal of the recruiter 401's house. In this case, the participant 402 registers the volunteer activity support server 110 for participation in the snow removal of the recruiter 401's house (see (2) in FIG. 4). Participant 402 can register for participation in the snow removal of the recruiter 401's house, for example, via the website for viewing volunteer activity information.

In addition, the participant 402 registers information indicating his / her departure place in the volunteer activity support server 110 at the time of participation registration or prior to the participation registration. Here, the departure place is a place where the participant 402 departs when heading to the place where the volunteer activity is carried out, and is, for example, the address of the participant 402. In the example of FIG. 4, it is assumed that the participant 402 heads from his / her home to the recruiter 401's house (that is, A city XX) when he / she participates in the snow removal of the recruiter 401's house. Therefore, the participant 402 has registered his / her own address (City B, which will be described later) as the departure place.

When the volunteer activity support server 110 accepts the participation registration, the place where the volunteer activity that is the target of the participation registration (in the case of the example of FIG. 4, the snowfall of the recruiter 401's house) is carried out, and the participants who have registered the participation ( In the case of the example of FIG. 4, the departure place registered by the participant 402) and the transportation cost information indicating the transportation cost based on the acquisition are acquired.

The transportation costs based on the place of implementation and the place of departure are, for example, the transportation cost from the place of departure to the place of implementation (that is, the transportation cost for the outbound route) and the transportation cost from the place of implementation to the place of departure (that is, the transportation cost for the return route). Is the total of. By doing so, participants will be able to participate in volunteer activities without having to pay transportation expenses from their own expenses.

Specifically, in the case of the example of FIG. 4, the volunteer activity support server 110 is, for example, a railway transportation ticket from station b, which is the nearest station of city B ▲▲, to station a, which is the nearest station of city A ○○. The total of the amount of money and the amount of the railway transportation ticket from station a to station b is calculated as the transportation cost when the participant 402 participates in the snow removal of the recruiter 401's house. Here, City B ▲▲ is the address of the participant 402 as the departure place.

As an example, assuming that the amount of the railway transportation ticket from a station to b station and the amount of the railway transportation ticket from a station to b station are each "1000 yen", the volunteer activity support server 110 participates. The transportation cost when the person 402 participates in the snow removal of the recruiter 401's house is calculated as "2000 yen", and the transportation cost information indicating "2000 yen" is acquired. The volunteer activity support server 110 can acquire transportation cost information by performing a route search using, for example, known map data (including, for example, railway line data) and a route search technique.

Further, the volunteer activity support server 110 outputs, for example, information indicating a departure place and an execution place to another server (for example, a transportation server 150) that performs a route search using known map data and a route search technique. Therefore, the route search and the calculation of the transportation cost may be performed by another server. In this case, the volunteer activity support server 110 can acquire the transportation cost information by receiving the transportation cost information from another server.

Then, in the case of the example of FIG. 4, the volunteer activity support server 110 includes the information indicating the participant 402 and the transportation cost information acquired by the participant 402 registering in the volunteer activity information registered by the recruiter 401. Volunteer activity information is updated so that

In FIG. 4, the donor 403 has a donor terminal 140. In addition, the donor 403 wanted to help people by supporting the volunteer activities by donating because he could not make time to participate in the volunteer activities although he could afford it. Therefore, the donor 403 decided to use the volunteer activity support system 100 to search for volunteer activities that are accepting donations.

In this case, the donor 403 uses the donor terminal 140 to browse the volunteer activity information registered in the volunteer activity support server 110 (see (3) in FIG. 4). Like the participant 402, the donor 403 can browse the volunteer activity information registered in the volunteer activity support server 110 by accessing, for example, the volunteer activity information browsing website.

In the example of FIG. 4, the donor 403 has a volunteer activity of snowing down the recruiter 401's house by browsing the volunteer activity information, and there is a participant 402 who wants to participate in the snowing down of the recruiter 401's house. I knew. Then, the donor 403 learned that the transportation cost required for the participant 402 to participate in the snow removal at the recruiter 401's house was "2000 yen".

Therefore, the donor 403 wanted to donate "2000 yen" to the snow unloading of the recruiter 401's house so that the participant 402 could participate in the snow unloading of the recruiter 401's house. In this case, the donor 403 performs a donation procedure of "2000 yen" for the snow removal of the recruiter 401's house to the volunteer activity support server 110 (see (3) in FIG. 4).

The donor 403 can make a donation procedure for snowfall at the recruiter 401's house, for example, through a website for viewing volunteer activity information. In the donation procedure, the donor 403 performs a procedure for paying the donation to the volunteer activity support server 110 by, for example, card payment using a credit card.

When the donor 403 performs the procedure for paying the donation by card payment, for example, the amount of money obtained by subtracting the predetermined fee from the donation amount processed by the donor 403 is managed by the card company for the volunteer activity support server 110. It will be transferred to the company's account on the specified date. Here, the predetermined date is a date agreed in advance between the card company and the company that manages the volunteer activity support server 110. For example, the last day of the month when the donor 403 performs the procedure for paying the donation or the following month. It can be 15 days. As a result, the company that manages the volunteer activity support server 110 can obtain the donation donated by the donor 403. Then, the card company will request the donor 403 to pay the donation at a later date.

If the card company that issued the credit card used by the donor 403 to pay the donation and the company that manages the volunteer activity support server 110 are the same company, the volunteer activity support server 110 is managed from the above-mentioned card company. It is not necessary to transfer money to the company that does the work. Further, in the donation procedure, the donor 403 may, for example, directly transfer the donation to the account of the company that manages the volunteer activity support server 110.

Also, for example, a company that manages the volunteer activity support server 110 (or a financial institution that has an account to which donations are transferred) should manage the balance of the account related to the transfer when transferring the donations to the account. You may do it. In this case, for example, the company that manages the volunteer activity support server 110 subtracts the transfer amount from the balance of the transfer source account and adds the transfer amount to the balance of the transfer destination account to make the transfer. All you have to do is manage the balance of the accounts involved. Further, for example, even if the company that manages the volunteer activity support server 110 manages the donation amount for each donor 403 that has made a transfer to the company's account as a breakdown of the balance of the company's account so that it can be recognized. good. Further, the company that manages the volunteer activity support server 110 may present the balance of the account to the donor 403 in response to the inquiry from the donor 403. The company that manages the volunteer activity support server 110 may have the volunteer activity support server 110 perform these tasks, or may have another server managed by the company perform these tasks.

By donating "2000 yen" from the donor 403 to the snowfall of the recruiter 401's house, the donation amount to the snowfall of the recruiter 401's house is the transportation indicated by the transportation cost information obtained by the participation registration of the participant 402. The cost has been reached. In this case, the volunteer activity support server 110 outputs, for example, a purchase request for a transportation ticket from station b to station a and a transportation ticket from station a to station b to the transportation server 150 ((4) in FIG. 4). )reference).

Further, for example, at this time, the volunteer activity support server 110 transfers the amount of money according to the transportation ticket to be purchased from the account of the company that manages the volunteer activity support server 110 to the account of the transportation system that manages the transportation system server 150. Perform the transfer process. The volunteer activity support server 110 transfers, for example, an amount obtained by subtracting a predetermined fee from the amount of consideration for the transportation ticket to be purchased to the transportation account.

Further, the volunteer activity support server 110 may make a transfer to a transportation account after a predetermined date is reached. Here, the predetermined date is a date agreed in advance between the company that manages the volunteer activity support server 110 and the transportation system. For example, the volunteer activity support server 110 outputs a purchase request to the transportation system server 150. It can be the last day of the month or the 15th of the following month.

Then, in the case of the example of FIG. 4, the transportation server 150 has a transportation ticket from b station to a station and a transportation ticket from a station to b station in response to the purchase request received from the volunteer activity support server 110. Is issued, and the transportation ticket information regarding the issued transportation ticket is output to the volunteer activity support server 110 (see (5) in FIG. 4). Then, the volunteer activity support server 110 outputs the transportation ticket information received from the transportation server 150 to the participant terminal 130 (see (6) in FIG. 4).

After that, when the snow-removing date of the recruiter 401 comes, the participant 402 displays, for example, the transportation ticket information received in (6) above on the participant terminal 130, and displays the transportation ticket represented by the transportation ticket information. Show it to a transportation employee who manages the transportation server 150 (for example, a station employee of a railway company). As a result, the participant 402 can move from b station to a station and from a station to b station by railroad.

Further, for example, the participant terminal 130 may be configured to have an IC chip compatible with short-range wireless communication, and the traffic ticket information may be stored in this IC chip. In this way, the participant 402 can pass through the ticket gate by holding the participant terminal 130 over the reader portion provided in the ticket gate, for example, from station b to station a, and from station a to station b. It will be possible to travel by train.

As a result, the participant 402 can participate in the snow removal of the recruiter 401 without having to bear the transportation expenses for participating in the snow removal of the recruiter 401 from his / her own expense. Then, the participant 402 participates in a volunteer activity in which the recruiter 401 recruits participants and registers for participation, that is, snowfall at the recruiter 401's house (see (7) in FIG. 4).

After that, the recruiter 401 outputs the volunteer activity implementation information indicating that the snow removal of the recruiter 401's house has been completed to the volunteer activity support server 110 by the recruiter terminal 120 (see (8) in FIG. 4). For example, the recruiter 401 takes a picture of the recruiter 401's house after the snow removal is completed by the recruiter terminal 120 as proof that the snowfall of the recruiter 401's house is completed, and volunteers to the volunteer activity support server 110 including the image data. Output activity implementation information.

When the volunteer activity support server 110 receives the volunteer activity implementation information indicating that the snow removal of the recruiter 401's house has been completed from the recruiter 401, the volunteer activity support server 110 receives the report information reporting that the snow removal of the recruiter 401's house has been completed. It is output to the donor terminal 140 of the donor 403 who made a donation to the snowfall of the recruiter 401's house (see (9) in FIG. 4). As a result, the donor 403 can know that the volunteer activity that he / she donated has been carried out, that is, that the donation that he / she has donated has been used.

In this way, according to the volunteer activity support server 110, a person who wants to participate in a volunteer activity but has difficulty in going to the place where the volunteer activity is carried out due to financial reasons (in the case of the example of FIG. 4, the participant 402). ) Can be encouraged to participate in volunteer activities.

Further, the volunteer activity support server 110 may pay the transportation expenses to the participants by, for example, performing a process of transferring the transportation expenses to the accounts of the participants registered by the participants. In this case, the participants can purchase the transportation ticket by themselves using the transportation expenses provided. On the other hand, as described above, if the volunteer activity support server 110 outputs the transportation ticket information to the participant's terminal, the time and effort for the participant to arrange the transportation ticket by himself / herself can be reduced. , Participants will be able to participate in volunteer activities more easily.

In addition, if the transportation expenses are transferred to the participant's account, it is possible that the participants intentionally or mistakenly use the money transferred as the transportation expenses for other purposes. Therefore, as described above, by causing the volunteer activity support server 110 to output the transportation ticket information to the terminal of the participant, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of such a situation. Therefore, the volunteer activity support server 110 can encourage the participants to participate in the volunteer activities more reliably, and increase the possibility that the donations from the donors will be used as the donors intended. It is possible to improve people's willingness to donate and encourage donations.

In the example described above, the departure place is the address of the participant, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the departure place may be any place determined by the participants. In the case of the example of FIG. 4, for example, if the participant 402 participates in the snow removal of the recruiter 401's house continuously without returning home after participating in other volunteer activities, the recruiter 401's house The place where the volunteer activities to participate before the snowfall may be registered as the departure place when participating in the snowfall at the recruiter 401's house. In addition, if the participant 402 participates in the snow removal of the recruiter 401's house when he / she returns home or goes on a trip, the participant 401 can set the place of stay (for example, the place of his / her parents' house or hotel) in the homecoming or the trip. You may register it as a departure place when you participate in the snow removal of your house.

In addition, when there are multiple types of routes from the departure place to the place of implementation or from the place of implementation to the place of departure, the volunteer activity support server 110 acquires transportation cost information indicating the transportation cost when using the cheapest route. You may try to do it. Further, when there are a plurality of types of routes from the departure place to the implementation place, the volunteer activity support server 110 is the most commonly used route (that is, the route assumed to have the best balance between transportation cost and travel time). ) May be used to obtain transportation cost information indicating the transportation cost.

Further, for example, at the time of participation registration, the participant 402 may also register the means of transportation (for example, "my car" or "transportation") in the volunteer activity support server 110. In this case, for example, if the means of transportation registered by the participant 402 is "transportation", the volunteer activity support server 110 acquires transportation expenses based on the fare by railroad as described above.

On the other hand, in this case, the volunteer activity support server 110, for example, if the means of transportation registered by the participant 402 is "my car", travels from City B ▲▲ to City A ○○ (outward route). The transportation fee is acquired based on the gasoline fee (for example, 150 yen per 10 [km]) according to the total of the distance and the mileage from XX in A city to ▲▲ in B city (return route). In addition, if the use of a toll road is expected when moving from City B ▲▲ to City A ○○, or from City A ○○ to City B ▲▲, the usage fee for that toll road is further added. You may try to get transportation expenses.

Then, the volunteer activity support server 110 may transfer the transportation expenses to the account of the participant 402 if the means of transportation registered by the participant 402 is "my car". On the other hand, if the means of transportation registered by the participant 402 is "transportation", the transportation server 150 participates by transferring the transportation expenses to the transportation account that manages the transportation server 150 as described above. The transportation ticket information may be output to the person terminal 130.

Further, the transportation cost based on the implementation place and the departure place may be the transportation cost from the departure place to the implementation place, or the transportation cost from the implementation place to the departure place, that is, the transportation cost for one way. For example, in the example of FIG. 4, it is assumed that the donation amount of the recruiter 401's house to the snowfall has been collected only "1000 yen" by a predetermined timing (for example, the day before) before the snow removal of the recruiter 401.

In this case, the volunteer activity support server 110 outputs, for example, a request for purchasing a transportation ticket from station b to station a to the transportation server 150, and the transportation ticket information received from the transportation server 150 in response to the purchase request. May be provided to the participant 402 by outputting the above to the participant terminal 130 to provide a transportation ticket from station b to station a (that is, a one-way transportation ticket). Even in this way, the participant 402 will be able to participate in the volunteer activity of the recruiter 401 for snow removal only by paying the transportation cost for one way. Further, in this case, the volunteer activity support server 110 may transfer "1000 yen" to the account of the participant 402.

In addition, for example, in the case of volunteer activities that require a great deal of labor, such as the construction of temporary housing, it is expected that the participation of multiple participants will be required. Therefore, for example, the volunteer activity support server 110 may accept the participation registration of a plurality of participants for the volunteer activity registered by the recruiter so as to recruit a plurality of participants. Then, the volunteer activity support server 110 accepts donations for the total amount of transportation expenses of each participant for the volunteer activity in which the participation registration of a plurality of participants is performed.

In addition, for example, in the case of volunteer activities that require a great deal of labor, such as the construction of temporary housing, it is assumed that the work will not be completed in one day. Therefore, the volunteer activity support server 110, for example, for volunteer activities registered by the recruiter so that the implementation date is a plurality of days, in addition to the transportation expenses, the accommodation expenses and food expenses of the participants (for example, one participant). You may accept donations that take into consideration (5,000 yen per day).

Further, for example, the participant terminal 130 may output the position information of the own terminal on the implementation date to the volunteer activity support server 110 via the installed predetermined application. In this case, the volunteer activity support server 110 has the participant go to the place where the volunteer activity is carried out (that is, has participated in the volunteer activity) based on the location information received from the participant terminal 130. It can be estimated whether or not.

Then, in this case, the volunteer activity support server 110 may output the report information including the estimation result based on the location information received from the participant terminal 130 to the donor terminal 140. In this way, the volunteer activity support server 110 can inform the donor when the participant participates in the volunteer activity, and the donor's "own donation was used properly". It is possible to enhance the actual feeling and increase the donation motivation of the donors to encourage donations.

(Example of user information DB)
Next, an example of the user information DB stored in the storage unit 111 will be described. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a user information DB according to the present embodiment. In FIG. 5, the user information DB 500 stores user information associated with information indicating each of a user ID, a name, an address, a contact, and a terminal ID.

In the user information, the user ID indicates a user identifier (identification information), and for example, indicates an ID uniquely assigned to each user by the volunteer activity support server 110 in response to the user registration procedure. In the user information, the name indicates the name of the user, for example, the name entered by the user during the user registration procedure. Further, the user information DB 500 may store an account name such as a nickname or an SNS (Social Networking Service) instead of or in addition to the name.

Further, in the user information, the address indicates the address of the user, for example, the address entered by the user during the user registration procedure. The address corresponds to, for example, the departure place of the user. In the user information, the contact indicates the contact of the user, for example, the contact entered by the user during the user registration procedure. Specifically, the contact information is, for example, the telephone number or e-mail address of the terminal used by the user (for example, the recruiter terminal 120, the participant terminal 130, the donor terminal 140).

Further, in the user information, the terminal ID indicates an identifier of a terminal used by the user, for example, a serial number or a MAC address of the terminal used by the user. The volunteer activity support server 110, for example, sends a temporary registration completion mail containing the URL of the website for confirming the terminal ID to the user's terminal in response to the user registration procedure being performed, and the URL thereof. By accessing the website, the terminal ID of the terminal can be acquired and the user information including the terminal ID can be stored in the user information DB 500.

Further, the user information DB 500 may further store user information including information indicating a comment and image data of a profile picture. In this case, the user information DB 500 stores, for example, information indicating a comment (for example, self-promotion) input by the user at an arbitrary timing during the user registration procedure or after the user registration procedure. Further, the user information DB 500 stores, for example, image data transmitted to the volunteer activity support server 110 as image data of a profile photograph at an arbitrary timing during the user registration procedure or after the user registration procedure.

Further, the user information DB 500 may further store user information including information indicating the user's account. The information indicating the account is, for example, information indicating the financial institution and branch office in which the account was opened and the account number. In this case, the user information DB 500 stores, for example, information indicating an account entered by the user at an arbitrary timing during the user registration procedure or after the user registration procedure. In this way, the volunteer activity support server 110 can refer to the user information DB 500 and perform a process of transferring transportation expenses to the user's account.

(Example of volunteer activity information DB)
Next, an example of the volunteer activity information DB stored in the storage unit 111 will be described. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a volunteer activity information DB according to the present embodiment. In FIG. 6, the volunteer activity information DB 600 includes, for example, a volunteer activity ID, a recruiter, a work content (volunteer activity name), a place of implementation, a date of implementation, the number of people who can participate, participants, and transportation expenses. , Total transportation expenses, donation amount, shortage amount, and volunteer activity information associated with each of the donors are stored.

In the volunteer activity information, the volunteer activity ID indicates an identifier of the volunteer activity, and for example, indicates an ID uniquely assigned to each volunteer activity by the volunteer activity support server 110. The volunteer activity ID is an example of identification information that identifies the volunteer activity according to the present invention.

In the volunteer activity information, the recruiter indicates a recruiter who recruits participants in the volunteer activity, and for example, indicates a user ID of the recruiter who has registered the volunteer activity information. In the volunteer activity information, the work content indicates the work content of the volunteer activity, for example, the work content input by the recruiter when registering the volunteer activity information. In the volunteer activity information, the place of implementation indicates the place of implementation of the volunteer activity, for example, the place of implementation entered by the recruiter when registering the volunteer activity information. In the volunteer activity information, the implementation date indicates the implementation date of the volunteer activity, for example, the date entered by the recruiter as the implementation date when registering the volunteer activity information.

The implementation date is not limited to one day, and may be registered for a plurality of days. Further, for example, when registering the volunteer activity information, not only the date but also the hour and minute may be input, and the volunteer activity information DB 600 may store the information indicating the implementation date and time including the information indicating the hour and minute. .. The information on the implementation date in the volunteer activity information is an example of information indicating when the volunteer activity according to the present invention is implemented.

In the volunteer activity information, the number of people who can participate indicates the maximum number of participants who can accept participation in volunteer activities. For example, the number of people who can participate indicates the number of people who the recruiter entered as the number of people who can participate when registering volunteer activity information. In the volunteer activity information, the participant indicates a participant who participates in the volunteer activity, for example, a user ID of a participant who has registered to participate in the volunteer activity.

In the volunteer activity information, the transportation cost indicates the transportation cost of each participant who participates in the volunteer activity, for example, the transportation cost acquired for each participant who has registered to participate in the volunteer activity. In the volunteer activity information, the total transportation cost indicates the total transportation cost of each participant who participates in the volunteer activity.

For example, the volunteer activity information of the volunteer activity ID "B01" indicates that only the participants of the user ID "U02" participate, and the transportation cost of the participants of the user ID "U02" is "2000 yen". It is shown that. Therefore, the total transportation cost of the volunteer activity information of the volunteer activity ID "B01" is "2000 yen".

On the other hand, the volunteer activity information of the volunteer activity ID "B02" indicates that the participants of the user ID "U05" and the participants of the user ID "U06" will participate, and the traffic of the participants of the user ID "U05" It shows that the cost is "5000 yen" and the transportation cost of the participant of the user ID "U06" is "6000 yen". Therefore, the total transportation cost of the volunteer activity information of the volunteer activity ID "B02" is "5000 yen + 6000 yen = 11000 yen".

In the volunteer activity information, the donation amount indicates the amount of donation donated for the volunteer activity. For example, the volunteer activity information of the volunteer activity ID "B01" indicates that "2000 yen" was donated to the volunteer activity identified by the volunteer activity ID "B01".

In the volunteer activity information, the shortage amount indicates the amount of money that is insufficient for carrying out the volunteer activity, for example, the amount calculated by the total transportation cost-the donation amount. For example, in the case of volunteer activity information with volunteer activity ID "B01", the total transportation cost is "2000 yen" and the donation amount is "2000 yen", so the shortfall amount is "2000 yen (total transportation cost) -2000". Yen (donation amount) = 0 yen ". On the other hand, in the case of volunteer activity information with volunteer activity ID "B02", the total transportation cost is "11000 yen" and the donation amount is "0 yen", so the shortfall amount is "11000 yen (total transportation cost) -0. Yen (donation amount) = 11,000 yen ".

In the volunteer activity information, the donor indicates the donor who donated to the volunteer activity, and for example, indicates the user ID of the donor who made the donation procedure to the volunteer activity support server 110. The information of the donor in the volunteer activity information is an example of the information indicating the donor according to the present invention.

Further, in the present embodiment, the volunteer activity information DB 600 stores information indicating the transportation cost acquired by the volunteer activity support server 110 based on the departure place of the participant registered to participate in the volunteer activity and the implementation place of the volunteer activity. But not limited to this. For example, the volunteer activity information DB 600 is made to store the information indicating the (declared) transportation expenses entered by the participants so that the participants can input the transportation expenses required when registering to participate in the volunteer activities. May be good.

(An example of the functional configuration of the volunteer activity support server 110)
Next, an example of the functional configuration of the volunteer activity support server 110 will be described. FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the volunteer activity support server according to the present embodiment. In FIG. 7, the volunteer activity support server 110 includes, for example, a reception unit 701, an update unit 702, a transportation cost acquisition unit 703, a determination unit 704, a transportation cost payment processing unit 705, and an output unit 706. ..

Each functional unit of the volunteer activity support server 110 is provided with reference to, for example, a storage unit 111 realized by the memory 202 shown in FIG. 2. Further, the processing result of each functional unit of the volunteer activity support server 110 is stored in, for example, a storage unit 111.

The reception unit 701 receives various information output to the volunteer activity support server 110. The reception unit 701 receives, for example, a registration request output from the user's terminal (for example, the recruiter terminal 120) to the volunteer activity support server 110 by performing the registration procedure of the volunteer activity information by the user. The registration request includes, for example, information of the user ID of the user who has performed the registration procedure of the volunteer activity information and the volunteer activity information to be registered. Specifically, the registration request includes information indicating the work content, implementation location, implementation date, number of people who can participate, etc. regarding the volunteer activity information to be registered.

When the reception unit 701 receives the registration request, the reception unit 701 outputs the accepted registration request to the update unit 702. The reception unit 701 is an example of the reception means according to the present invention, and is realized by, for example, the communication IF 203 shown in FIG. 2 or the CPU 201 executing a program stored in the memory 202.

The update unit 702 updates the stored contents of the storage unit 111. The update unit 702 is an example of the transportation expense information storage control means and the donor information storage control means according to the present invention, and is realized by, for example, the CPU 201 shown in FIG. 2 executing a program stored in the memory 202. To.

For example, when a registration request is received from the reception unit 701, the update unit 702 newly stores the volunteer activity information based on the received registration request in the volunteer activity information DB 600. Specifically, the update unit 702 issues, for example, a unique volunteer activity ID, and stores volunteer activity information including the information of the issued volunteer activity ID. In addition, the update unit 702 stores volunteer activity information indicating the user ID of the received registration request as a recruiter. Then, the update unit 702 stores the volunteer activity information indicating the work content, the place of implementation, the date of implementation, and the number of people who can participate in response to the received registration request.

As a result, the volunteer activity support server 110 can store the volunteer activity information in the storage unit 111 in response to the registration procedure of the volunteer activity information by the user.

Further, the reception unit 701 receives a participation request output from the user's terminal (for example, the participant terminal 130) to the volunteer activity support server 110 by, for example, performing a procedure for registering participation in the volunteer activity by the user. .. The participation request includes, for example, information of the user ID of the user who has performed the participation registration procedure and the volunteer activity ID of the volunteer activity subject to the participation registration. When the reception unit 701 receives the participation request, the reception unit 701 outputs the accepted participation request to the transportation expense acquisition unit 703.

When the transportation expense acquisition unit 703 receives the participation request from the reception unit 701, the transportation expense acquisition unit 703 refers to the storage unit 111, and the place where the volunteer activity that is the target of the participation registration is carried out, and the departure of the user who has performed the participation registration procedure. Obtain transportation cost information indicating the transportation cost based on the location.

For example, the transportation expense acquisition unit 703 refers to the user information DB 500, and provides information indicating the address corresponding to the user ID included in the received participation request, and information indicating the departure place of the user who has performed the participation registration procedure. Get as. Further, the transportation expense acquisition unit 703 refers to the volunteer activity information DB 600 and acquires information indicating the implementation location corresponding to the volunteer activity ID included in the received participation request.

Then, the transportation expense acquisition unit 703 uses known map data and a route search technique to obtain a route from the acquired departure place to the place of implementation (that is, an outward route) and a route from the acquired place of implementation to the place of departure (that is, that is). (Return trip) and search respectively. At this time, the transportation expense acquisition unit 703 searches for a route when a predetermined public transportation system such as a railroad, a bus, an airplane, or a ship is used. As a result, the transportation cost acquisition unit 703 can acquire transportation cost information indicating the transportation cost for moving between the place of implementation and the place of departure when the predetermined public transportation system is used.

By searching for the route from the departure place to the implementation place and the route from the implementation place to the departure place, the transportation cost acquisition unit 703 can obtain the cost when using each route. Therefore, the transportation cost acquisition unit 703 uses, for example, the total of these costs as the transportation cost, and acquires the transportation cost information indicating the transportation cost.

The transportation expense acquisition unit 703 outputs, for example, the acquired transportation expense information and the participation request received from the reception unit 701 to the update unit 702. The transportation expense acquisition unit 703 is an example of the transportation expense acquisition means according to the present invention, and is realized by, for example, the CPU 201 shown in FIG. 2 executing a program stored in the memory 202.

When the update unit 702 receives the transportation cost information and the participation request from the transportation cost acquisition unit 703, the update unit 702 searches the volunteer activity information DB 600 for the volunteer activity information corresponding to the volunteer activity ID of the received participation request. Then, the update unit 702 updates the contents of the searched volunteer activity information.

Specifically, the update unit 702 updates the volunteer activity information so that, for example, the user ID of the received participation request is shown as a participant. At this time, if another user ID is already stored as the participant information of the searched volunteer activity information, the update unit 702 updates so as to further add the user ID of the accepted participation request. By doing so, in the volunteer activity information about volunteer activities in which multiple participants can participate (the number of participants is "2" or more), the user ID of each participant is used as the participant information. Can be remembered as.

In addition, the update unit 702 updates the transportation cost information of the searched volunteer activity information so that the transportation cost indicated by the received transportation cost information. At this time, the update unit 702 updates the transportation cost information corresponding to the updated participant information in the searched volunteer activity information. Then, the update unit 702 also updates the information on the total transportation cost of the volunteer activity information in response to the update of the information on the transportation cost of the volunteer activity information.

For example, it is assumed that the update department 702 updates the transportation cost information of the volunteer activity information to "2000 yen". Then, it is assumed that the information on the total transportation cost of this volunteer activity information has so far indicated "0 yen". In this case, the update department 702 updates the transportation cost information of the volunteer activity information to "2000 yen" and changes the total transportation cost information of the volunteer activity to "0 yen (the total transportation cost so far)". Amount) + 2000 yen (renewed transportation cost amount) = 2000 yen ".

As a result, the volunteer activity support server 110 pays for the transportation expenses and the total transportation expenses of the volunteer activity information about the volunteer activities subject to the participation registration according to the procedure of the participation registration for the volunteer activities by the user. Information can be updated.

Further, the reception unit 701 receives a donation request output from the user's terminal (for example, the donor terminal 140) to the volunteer activity support server 110, for example, when the user performs a donation procedure for volunteer activities. The donation request includes, for example, information on the user ID of the user who made the donation procedure, the volunteer activity ID of the volunteer activity of the donation destination, and the donation amount donated by this donation procedure. When the reception unit 701 receives the donation request, the reception unit 701 outputs the received donation request to the update unit 702.

When the update unit 702 receives the donation request from the reception unit 701, the update unit 702 searches the volunteer activity information DB 600 for the volunteer activity information corresponding to the volunteer activity ID of the received donation request. Then, the update unit 702 updates the contents of the searched volunteer activity information.

Specifically, the update unit 702 updates the volunteer activity information so that, for example, the user ID of the received donation request is shown as a donor. At this time, if another user ID is already stored as the donor information of the searched volunteer activity information, the update unit 702 updates the user ID of the received donation request to be further added. By doing so, in the volunteer activity information about the volunteer activity in which the donations are made by a plurality of donors, the user ID of each donor can be stored as the donor information.

In addition, the update unit 702 updates the donation amount information of the searched volunteer activity information based on the donation amount of the received donation request. For example, it is assumed that the update unit 702 indicates that the donation amount of the searched volunteer activity information is "0 yen" so far. Then, it is assumed that the received donation request indicates the donation amount "2000 yen". In this case, the update unit 702 updates the donation amount information of the searched volunteer activity information as "0 yen (donation amount so far) + 2000 yen (donation amount indicated by the donation request) = 2000 yen".

In addition, the update unit 702 also updates the information on the shortage amount of the volunteer activity information in response to the update of the information on the donation amount of the volunteer activity information. For example, it is assumed that the update department 702 updates the donation amount information of the volunteer activity information to "2000 yen". Then, it is assumed that the information on the shortage amount of this volunteer activity information has so far indicated "2000 yen". In this case, the update unit 702 updates the information on the shortage amount of the volunteer activity information as "2000 yen (the shortage amount so far) -2000 yen (the donation amount after the update) = 0 yen".

As a result, the volunteer activity support server 110 updates the donation amount information and the shortage amount information of the volunteer activity information about the volunteer activity of the donation destination in response to the donation procedure to the volunteer activity by the user. Can be done. Then, when the update unit 702 updates the donation amount and the shortage amount information in the volunteer activity information, for example, the updated volunteer activity information is output to the determination unit 704.

The determination unit 704 determines whether or not the donation request acceptance termination condition is satisfied based on the volunteer activity information received from the update unit 702. The determination unit 704 determines, for example, whether or not the donation amount has reached the transportation cost in the determination of whether or not the reception end condition is satisfied. Specifically, the determination unit 704 determines whether or not the shortage amount is "0 yen" by referring to, for example, the information on the shortage amount of the volunteer activity information received from the update unit 702.

Further, the determination unit 704 may determine, for example, whether or not the acceptance period of the donation request has expired in the determination of whether or not the acceptance termination condition is satisfied. In this case, the donation request acceptance period is, for example, a predetermined timing from the day when the volunteer activity information is registered to before the implementation date of the volunteer activity indicated by the volunteer activity information (for example, the transportation expense payment processing unit 705 described later makes a transfer). It can be a period up to the timing).

The determination unit 704 outputs the determination result to the transportation expense payment processing unit 705. The determination unit 704 is an example of the determination means according to the present invention, and is realized, for example, by the CPU 201 shown in FIG. 2 executing a program stored in the memory 202.

When the transportation expense payment processing unit 705 determines that the acceptance end condition is satisfied by the determination unit 704 based on the determination result received from the determination unit 704, the participant's account and the participant participate in the volunteer activity. The amount of money to be applied to the participant's transportation expenses will be transferred to one of the transportation accounts used for volunteering. The amount of money allocated to the participant's transportation expenses is, for example, the participant's transportation expenses (transportation expenses indicated by the transportation expense information). In addition, the amount to be applied to the participant's transportation expenses may be a part of the participant's transportation expenses (for example, one-way transportation expenses, the amount donated to the volunteer activities in which the participant participates).

For example, when the transportation expense payment processing unit 705 determines that the donation amount has reached the transportation expense by the determination unit 704, the account of the participant who has registered to participate in the volunteer activity in which the donation amount has reached the transportation expense and the participation thereof. A process is performed in which an amount corresponding to the transportation expenses of the participant is transferred to one of the transportation accounts used by the person to participate in the volunteer activity and one of the accounts. Further, in the above-mentioned transfer process, the transportation expense payment processing unit 705 may use, for example, the transfer source account as the account of the company that manages the volunteer activity support server 110.

Further, the volunteer activity support server 110 may, for example, manage the balance of the account related to the transfer at the time of transfer, as described above, by the transportation expense payment processing unit 705. Further, the volunteer activity support server 110 recognizes the donation amount for each donor (for example, donor 403) who has made a transfer to the company's account as a breakdown of the balance of the account of the company that manages the volunteer activity support server 110. It may be managed as possible. Further, the volunteer activity support server 110 may present the balance of the account to the donor in response to an inquiry from the donor.

The transportation expense payment processing unit 705 refers to, for example, the information on the implementation date of the volunteer activity information for which the donation amount has reached the transportation expense, and transfers the transportation expense at a predetermined timing before the implementation date. As a result, the financial burden on the participants can be reduced as compared with the case where the transportation expenses are paid later (that is, the transportation expenses are temporarily reimbursed by the participants). For example, the administrator of the volunteer activity support server 110 can appropriately set the timing for paying the transportation expenses.

Further, the transportation fee payment processing unit 705 may transfer the transportation fee to the participant's account, but as described above, the transportation ticket should be paid to the participant rather than paying the transportation fee directly to the participant. Is preferable. When the transportation ticket is to be provided to the participants, the transportation expense payment processing unit 705 may, for example, perform the volunteer activity from the departure place of the participant who has registered to participate in the volunteer activity whose donation amount has reached the transportation expense. Generate a purchase request for transportation tickets up to. Then, the transportation expense payment processing unit 705 outputs, for example, the generated purchase request to the output unit 706, and causes the output unit 706 to output the purchase request to the transportation server 150.

As described above, when the transportation server 150 receives a purchase request from the volunteer activity support server 110, the transportation server 150 issues a transportation ticket based on the purchase request, and transfers the transportation ticket information of the issued transportation ticket to the volunteer activity support server 110. Output. The volunteer activity support server 110 receives the transportation ticket information output from the transportation server 150 by the reception unit 701.

Then, when the reception unit 701 receives the transportation ticket information, the reception unit 701 outputs the received transportation ticket information to the transportation expense payment processing unit 705. The transportation expense payment processing unit 705 outputs the transportation ticket information received from the reception unit 701 to the output unit 706, and outputs the transportation ticket information to the participants' terminals by the output unit 706. The terminal to which the traffic ticket information is output is, for example, the information of the participants in the volunteer activity information that triggered the output of the purchase request and the information indicating the section of the traffic ticket information (for example, the traffic from what station to how many stations). It can be specified based on (information indicating whether it is a ticket).

Further, when the transportation ticket information is received from the transportation server 150, the transportation expense payment processing unit 705 performs a process of transferring the amount of the transportation ticket to the transportation account that manages the transportation server 150, for example, on a predetermined date. .. The transportation account is preset in the transportation expense payment processing unit 705 by, for example, the administrator of the volunteer activity support server 110. Further, for example, the volunteer activity support server 110 may notify the donor terminal 140 to that effect when the transportation expense payment processing unit 705 performs the transfer process. In this case, the volunteer activity support server 110 may refer to the storage unit 111 and notify the donor terminal 140 of the donor who has donated to the volunteer activity corresponding to the donation to be transferred.

The transportation expense payment processing unit 705 is an example of the transportation expense payment processing means according to the present invention, and is realized by, for example, the CPU 201 shown in FIG. 2 executing a program stored in the memory 202. Further, the output unit 706 is an example of the output means according to the present invention, and is realized by, for example, the communication IF 203 shown in FIG. 2 or the CPU 201 executing a program stored in the memory 202.

Further, the volunteer activity support server 110 may further include a report information generation unit 707. In this case, the reception unit 701 implements volunteer activities that are output from the user's terminal (for example, the recruiter terminal 120) to the volunteer activity support server 110 when the user performs the volunteer activity completion report procedure, for example. Accept information.

The volunteer activity implementation information includes, for example, information on the volunteer activity ID of the volunteer activity carried out. Further, the volunteer activity implementation information includes, for example, a comment input by a user (for example, a recruiter) and image data captured by the user's terminal (for example, the recruiter terminal 120). When the reception unit 701 receives the volunteer activity implementation information, the reception unit 701 outputs the received volunteer activity implementation information to the report information generation unit 707.

The report information generation unit 707 generates report information based on the volunteer activity implementation information received from the reception unit 701. The report information generation unit 707 generates report information including, for example, image data of the received volunteer activity implementation information and information indicating comments. Further, the report information generation unit 707 searches the volunteer activity information DB 600 for the volunteer activity information corresponding to the volunteer activity ID of the received volunteer activity implementation information, and acquires the information of the donor of the searched volunteer activity information.

Then, the report information generation unit 707 generates report information addressed to the terminal of the donor based on the acquired information of the participants. The report information generation unit 707 outputs the generated report information to the output unit 706, and causes the output unit 706 to output the report information to the donor's terminal. The report information generation unit 707 is realized, for example, by the CPU 201 shown in FIG. 2 executing a program stored in the memory 202.

(An example of volunteer activity support processing performed by the volunteer activity support server 110)
Next, an example of the volunteer activity support process performed by the volunteer activity support server 110 will be described. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing an example of the volunteer activity support process performed by the volunteer activity support server according to the present embodiment.

In FIG. 13, the volunteer activity support server 110 determines whether or not the registration request for volunteer activity information has been received from the user's terminal (for example, the recruiter terminal 120) (step S1301). When it is determined that the registration request is not accepted (step S1301: No), the volunteer activity support server 110 shifts to the process of step S1303. When it is determined that the registration request has been accepted (step S1301: Yes), the volunteer activity support server 110 stores the volunteer activity information in the storage unit 111 based on the accepted registration request (step S1302).

Next, the volunteer activity support server 110 determines whether or not the request for viewing the volunteer activity information has been received from the user's terminal (for example, the participant terminal 130 or the donor terminal 140) (step S1303). When it is determined that the browsing request is not accepted (step S1303: No), the volunteer activity support server 110 shifts to the process of step S1308. When it is determined that the browsing request has been accepted (step S1303: Yes), the volunteer activity support server 110 stores the volunteer activity stored, for example, by displaying the display screen 900 shown in FIG. 9 on the terminal of the browsing request source. Information is presented to the user who uses the terminal (step S1304).

Next, the volunteer activity support server 110 determines whether or not the participation request has been accepted from the terminal of the user who presented the volunteer activity information (step S1305). When it is determined that the participation request has been accepted (step S1305: Yes), the volunteer activity support server 110 shifts to the process of step S1307. When it is determined that the participation request is not accepted (step S1305: No), the volunteer activity support server 110 determines whether or not the donation request is accepted from the terminal of the user who presented the volunteer activity information (step S1306).

When it is determined that the donation request has been accepted (step S1306: Yes), the volunteer activity support server 110 proceeds to the process of step S1307. When it is determined that the donation request is not accepted (step S1306: No), the volunteer activity support server 110 shifts to the process of step S1308.

In step S1307, the volunteer activity support server 110 executes a volunteer activity information update process for updating the volunteer activity information stored in the storage unit 111 (step S1307). An example of the volunteer activity information update process will be described later with reference to FIG.

Then, the volunteer activity support server 110 determines whether or not the volunteer activity implementation information has been received from the user's terminal (for example, the recruiter terminal 120) (step S1308). When it is determined that the volunteer activity implementation information is not accepted (step S1308: No), the volunteer activity support server 110 ends the process shown in FIG. When it is determined that the volunteer activity implementation information has been accepted (step S1308: Yes), the volunteer activity support server 110 generates report information based on the received volunteer activity implementation information (step S1309). Then, the volunteer activity support server 110 outputs the generated report information to the donor's terminal (step S1310), and ends the process shown in FIG.

(An example of volunteer activity information update processing performed by the volunteer activity support server 110)
FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing an example of the volunteer activity information update process performed by the volunteer activity support server according to the present embodiment. In FIG. 14, the volunteer activity support server 110 determines whether or not the request that triggered the volunteer activity information update process this time is a participation request (step S1401).

When it is determined that the participation request is made (step S1401: Yes), the volunteer activity support server 110 acquires information indicating the departure place corresponding to the user ID of the received participation request from the user information DB 500 (step S1402). Further, the volunteer activity support server 110 searches for volunteer activity information corresponding to the received volunteer activity ID of the participation request from the volunteer activity information DB 600 (step S1403), and acquires information indicating the place where the searched volunteer activity information is implemented. (Step S1404).

Then, the volunteer activity support server 110 calculates the transportation cost based on the information indicating the departure place acquired in step S1402 and the information indicating the implementation location acquired in step S1404 (step S1405). Next, the volunteer activity support server 110 calculates the total transportation cost for the volunteer activity information searched in step S1403 based on the transportation cost calculated in step S1405 (step S1406). Since the calculation example of the transportation cost and the total transportation cost has been described above, the description thereof is omitted here.

Next, the volunteer activity support server 110 describes the volunteer activity information searched in step S1403 based on the total transportation cost calculated in step S1406 and the information indicating the donation amount of the volunteer activity information searched in step S1403. The shortfall amount of is calculated (step S1407). Since the calculation example of the shortage amount has been described above, the description here will be omitted.

Then, the volunteer activity support server 110 displays the contents of the volunteer activity information searched in step S1403 so as to indicate the transportation cost calculated in step S1405, the total transportation cost calculated in step S1406, and the shortage amount calculated in step S1407. It is updated (step S1408), and the process proceeds to step S1414.

Further, when the volunteer activity support server 110 determines that the request that triggered the volunteer activity information update process this time is not a participation request, that is, a donation request (step S1401: No), the volunteer activity of the received donation request is performed. Volunteer activity information corresponding to the ID is searched from the volunteer activity information DB 600 (step S1409), and information indicating the donation amount of the searched volunteer activity information is acquired (step S1410).

Next, the volunteer activity support server 110 makes a new donation of the volunteer activity information searched in step S1409 based on the information indicating the donation amount acquired in step S1410 and the information indicating the donation amount of the received donation request. Calculate the amount (step S1411). As described above, the new donation amount can be obtained by adding the donation amount of the searched volunteer activity information and the donation amount of the received donation request.

Next, the volunteer activity support server 110 is new to the volunteer activity information searched in step S1409 based on the total transportation cost of the volunteer activity information searched in step S1409 and the new donation amount calculated in step S1411. Calculate the shortfall amount (step S1412). As mentioned above, the new shortfall amount can be obtained by subtracting the new donation amount from the total transportation cost of the searched volunteer activity information.

Then, the volunteer activity support server 110 updates the contents of the volunteer activity information searched in step S1409 so as to indicate the donation amount calculated in step S1411 and the shortage amount calculated in step S1412 (step S1413).

Next, the volunteer activity support server 110 refers to the information indicating the shortage amount of the volunteer activity information updated in step S1413, and determines whether or not the shortage amount is "0 yen" (step S1414). When it is determined that the shortage amount is not "0 yen" (step S1414: No), the volunteer activity support server 110 ends the process shown in FIG.

When it is determined that the shortage amount is "0 yen" (step S1414: Yes), the volunteer activity support server 110 outputs a transportation ticket purchase request to the transportation server 150 (step S1415). At this time, the volunteer activity support server 110 is, for example, a transportation ticket from the departure place of each participant in the volunteer activity information updated in step S1413 to the implementation place in the volunteer activity information, and the departure of each participant from the implementation place. Outputs a transportation ticket to the location and a purchase request to purchase.

Then, the volunteer activity support server 110 determines whether or not the transportation ticket information for the purchase request output in step S1415 has been received from the transportation server 150 (step S1416). If it is determined that the traffic ticket information is not accepted (step S1416: No), the volunteer activity support server 110 waits until the traffic ticket information is accepted.

When it is determined that the traffic ticket information has been accepted (step S1416: Yes), the volunteer activity support server 110 outputs the received traffic ticket information to the terminal of each participant in the volunteer activity information updated in step S1413 (step S1417). ). Then, the volunteer activity support server 110 determines whether or not the predetermined date for paying the transportation ticket consideration for the transportation ticket information received in step S1416 has been reached (step S1418).

If it is determined that the due date has not been reached (step S1418: No), the volunteer activity support server 110 waits until the due date is reached, for example. If it is determined that the predetermined date has been reached (step S1418: Yes), the volunteer activity support server 110 performs a process of transferring the amount of the transportation ticket information received in step S1416 according to the transportation ticket to the transportation account. (Step S1419), the process shown in FIG. 14 is terminated.

As explained above, when the donation amount donated to the volunteer activity reaches the transportation expenses of the participant who has registered to participate in the volunteer activity, the volunteer activity support server 110 will use the participant's account or the participation. It is possible to transfer the amount of money according to the transportation expenses to one of the transportation accounts that the person uses when participating in volunteer activities. As a result, the volunteer activity support server 110 can suppress the transportation expenses borne by the participants when participating in the volunteer activities. Therefore, the volunteer activity support server 110 can encourage a person who wants to participate in the volunteer activity but has difficulty in going to the place where the volunteer activity is carried out due to financial reasons to participate in the volunteer activity.

In this embodiment, an example in which transportation expenses (donations) are transferred to a participant's account or a transportation account has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, instead of the participant's account number, the participant's transportation IC card identification number is stored in the storage unit 111, and the volunteer activity support server 110 stores the participant's transportation IC corresponding to the identification number. The card may be charged with an amount appropriate for transportation expenses.

Further, in the example described in the present embodiment, an example in which the volunteer activity support server 110 is provided separately from the transportation server 150 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the volunteer activity support server 110 may be provided integrally with the transportation server 150. In this case, for example, the CPU 201 of the transportation server 150 executes the program stored in the memory 202, or the memory 202 of the transportation server 150 or the communication IF 203 causes each of the above-mentioned volunteer activity support servers 110. The function of the functional unit can be realized.

Further, the volunteer activity support method described in the present embodiment can be realized by executing a program prepared in advance on a computer such as a personal computer or a workstation. This volunteer activity support program is a computer-readable record such as a hard disk, flexible disk, CD (Compact Disk) -ROM, MO (Magnet-Optical disk), DVD (Digital Versaille Disk), and USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. It is recorded on a medium and executed by being read from the recording medium by a computer. In addition, this volunteer activity support program may be distributed via a network such as the Internet.

As described above, according to the present invention, even if one wants to participate in a volunteer activity, it is possible to encourage a person who has difficulty in going to the place where the volunteer activity is carried out due to financial reasons to participate in the volunteer activity. ..

As described above, the volunteer activity support device, the volunteer activity support method, and the volunteer activity support program according to the present invention are particularly useful for the volunteer activity support device, the volunteer activity support method, and the volunteer activity support program that support the volunteer activity. , Volunteer activity support device that supports volunteer activities by encouraging those who want to participate in volunteer activities but have difficulty in going to the place where volunteer activities are carried out due to financial reasons.
