The setting unit 360 stratifies the users into three categories based on the usage log data of the users held by the administrator. It has a table defining judgment criteria for canceling a contract and deleting data, and a judgment processing program for judgment processing using the table and data such as usage status.
That is, the setting unit 360 has a determination processing program for comparing the user's usage status and the like with the above-described determination criteria, and transferring the user to any of the three stratification layers.

In this embodiment, the setting unit 360 determines the stratification of users as shown below, based on the combination of whether the first condition and the second condition have been met or not met. is.
Specifically, when all the first conditions are satisfied and the second condition is also satisfied, the setting unit 360 shifts the user to the contract service.
Moreover, the setting unit 360 shifts the user to the transition period when the first condition is satisfied but the second condition is not satisfied.
Moreover, the setting unit 360 shifts the user to the transition period when the first condition is partially satisfied.
Further, if all of the first and second conditions are not met, the setting unit 360 cancels the contract of the user and deletes the data regarding the user.
Note that the criteria for stratification are not limited to this, and can be set in various ways.

In the present embodiment, the setting unit 360 performs stratification based on the combination of the attainment statuses of the first condition and the second condition as described above, but the determination process is particularly limited to this. However, other determination processing methods and procedures may be used as long as they can be stratified into three categories according to usage conditions and the like.
Specifically, for example, using data such as the usage status of the user as shown in FIG. 6, points may be given depending on whether or not individual usage status contents are achieved. For example, when a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the user started using the trial version service, determination processing may be performed using these points. For example, depending on whether or not the sum of these points is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, judgment processing may be performed based on the result of arithmetic processing such as whether or not to transition to this contract. is.
In this case, by adjusting the numerical value of the points that can be acquired depending on whether or not the content of each usage state is achieved, it is possible to weight the contents of the individual conditions of each usage state.

Specifically, for example, whether or not a plurality of conditions that serve as criteria for determination processing have been registered in (1) the usage status of the trial version service, and (2) various connection information for cloud services including the trial version service. (3) Whether the registration of the user's personal information has been completed. (4) Classify according to whether or not the user has started using other services. Then, by setting the numerical values of the above points higher in the order of (1), (2), (3), and (4), the importance of the judgment criteria is set in the order of (1), (2), (3), and (4). is possible.

In addition, the notification unit 370 notifies the user whose contract has been canceled according to the state of usage and predetermined conditions that the contract has been canceled.
According to the present embodiment, the notification unit 370 notifies the user whose contract has been canceled according to the state of usage and the predetermined condition that the contract has been canceled. The user who has become can know that the contract has been canceled.

According to the present embodiment, the users are stratified according to the criteria described above, and given the transition period described above. Users who want to continue using the service can be transferred to the transition period.
Further, according to the present embodiment, by providing the judgment criteria as described above, it is possible to transfer users according to the policy.

The notification unit 370 according to the present embodiment further notifies the corresponding user of the reason for the cancellation of the contract.
According to this embodiment, the notification unit 370 notifies the corresponding user of the reason for the cancellation of the contract, so the corresponding user can know the reason for the cancellation of the contract.

The setting unit 360 according to the present embodiment performs setting to leave the information about the user to be migrated to the contract service, and to delete the information about the user whose contract has been canceled.
According to this embodiment, the setting unit 360 leaves the information about the user to be migrated and takes it over to the contract service, so that the user does not have to re-register the information about the user in the contract service. Since the information about the user whose contract has been canceled is deleted, it is possible to omit separate deletion of unnecessary information about the user whose contract has been canceled.

Here, stratification of users according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
The client (customer) who uses the trial version service according to the present embodiment has users as child users who are used within the same company, for example, and an administrator who manages those users sets It is

As shown in FIG. 5A, all users are registered when starting to use the trial version service.
That is, the administrator and all users (a) are registered at the start of using the trial version service. This is user registration including the administrator, and then additional user registration and the like are performed by the administrator who manages the users.

As shown in FIG. 5(B), when the trial version service ends, all users (b) remain under the contract, and all users (b) are shifted to full registration. Regardless of whether or not they are using the service, all users are officially registered, and in the case of billing based on the number of users, non-users will also be billed for official registration, resulting in a lot of waste. there's a possibility that.

As shown in FIGS. 5(A) and 5(B) described above, if all members are registered at the start of the trial version service, and if all members are officially registered at the end of the trial version service, those who are not actually using will be officially registered, and the fee for official registration will increase.
The administrators included in the administrative department, etc. that manages the users will have only those who are actually using the trial version transfer to main registration, and other users will be deleted as users. I want to do it. In other words, the administrator managed by the user wants to transfer only those who actually use the trial version service to this contract, and to delete other users.

FIG. 5(C) shows that among the users managed by the administrator, a person c who frequently uses the trial version service, for example, a person who exceeds a predetermined usage time or usage count threshold, The contract will be shifted to this contract, and User d, who is another user, will delete the registration.

However, as the information to be judged, there is an aspect that it is not enough to use the trial version service, such as the usage time and the number of times of usage. Users who are using other similar services during the period of using the trial version service, or who are actively registering as users of the trial version service, etc., although they have not reached the point of contract With regard to, the above-mentioned threshold for reaching this contract has not been reached, and although the usage status is small, there is a possibility that there is an intention to transition to this contract.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, the setting unit 360 selects, in addition to the stratum c for transitioning to the full contract and the stratum h for canceling the contract due to low utilization, to the user g, who is in an intermediate position between them. shall be set as the tier to be transitioned to during the transition period to this Agreement.

That is, in the present embodiment, the setting unit 360 stratifies users into three groups according to the state of use and predetermined conditions, and selectively sets the contract status for each layer. be.
In the present embodiment, as described above, three stratifications are made, but the number of stratifications is not limited to this. The number of stratifications may be set to three or more.

According to the present embodiment, users are stratified according to the status of usage of the trial version service by the users who are contracted for the trial version service and the predetermined conditions, and a contract is made for each stratum. Since the status is selectively set, the contract status can be selected according to the usage status of the user.
In the present embodiment, users are stratified into three according to the state of usage of the trial version service by the user who is contracted for the trial version service and the predetermined conditions. Since the contract status is selectively set, the contract status can be selected according to the usage status of the user.

According to this embodiment, stratification tiers may include tier g transitioning during the transition period to this Agreement.
According to the present embodiment, according to the state of usage and predetermined conditions, the user is transferred to this contract in a layer f, in which the contract is canceled in a layer h, and in a transition period to this contract g. can be stratified into three.

User information and predetermined conditions will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 6A shows an example of user information, including a user CD corresponding to the user ID, e-mail address, gender, first name, password, consent to the portal agreement, date and time of email authenticity check, and date and time of email authenticity check. , type of service to be used, serial number of the service to be used, access token, and agreement to the terms of service. These are acquired by the acquisition unit 350 and stored in the storage 204 of the information management device 200 .
FIG. 6B shows an example of the trial version usage information (job log), which is an example of the usage history of the three users displayed in FIG. is stored as
FIG. 6C shows an example of the content of the policy check included in the second condition, which is an additional condition. It indicates the content of the authenticated domain whether there is a certain authenticated domain or not.
Based on the stored contents of FIGS. 6A, 6B, and 6C, the setting unit 360 selects the three users shown in FIG. ), as a remaining condition, set to the effect that if the constraint conditions (policy check) are satisfied, it will be subject to transition to this Agreement.
Although the user (axxxxxx002) does not actually use the service, referring to the user information in FIG. Therefore, it will be set to the effect that it will be shifted to the transition period.
In addition, since the user (axxxxxx003) has not even completed the procedure for using the service, the user is set to cancel the contract and delete the data.

Next, an example of the flow of processing will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
First, in step 110, the administrator of a plurality of users acquires licenses that can be assigned to the users. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 111 .
In step 111, a trial version license is granted to a user (child user) managed by the administrator. At this time, policy check settings such as the number of characters in the password are set. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 112 .
At step 112, the user (child user) has a free trial service period. The user can use the trial version service free of charge. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 113 .
In step 113, the acquisition unit 350 acquires the usage status of the user (child user) and the registration information of the user. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 114 .
At step 114, an application for the contracted service is made. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 115 .

At step 115 , the acquisition unit 350 acquires the usage status of the user (child user). Then, the setting unit 360 classifies it into one of the three layers, and determines whether to shift to one of them.
If it is determined to transition to the full contract, the process proceeds to step 116; if it is determined to transition to the transition period, the process proceeds to step 118;
In step 116, a migration process is performed in a state in which the information of the trial version service used by the user to be migrated is inherited. Then, go to step 117 .
At step 117 the license is validated and transitioned to this agreement. Then, the processing ends.
At step 118, the transition period is set, and the notification unit 370 notifies the holding period of the transition period and the unfulfilled transition condition of the user. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 119 .
At step 119, it is determined whether the unachieved transition condition has been achieved within the time period. Specifically, for example, in the case shown in FIG. 6, the user (aXXXXXX002) agrees to the service agreement and actually uses the service during the transition period. It means that the transition condition that was not met in If so, go to step 116; if not, go to step 120;
In step 120, we move to the subscribing layer and the information about the user is deleted. Then, the processing ends.
