Here, in the embodiment of the present invention, "content" can be applied not only to music but also to general digital content such as images, moving pictures, movies, dramas, electronic books, and games. "Content information" refers to information related to content. For example, in the case of music content, in addition to information on the sound source of the music, the "content information" may include a plurality of pieces of information such as lyrics cards and jacket photos. In other words, it can be said that the content information is information included in various contents generally included in a CD. A "gift sending function" refers to a function that allows sending a part or all of content information to another user, and a gift can also be said to be content that can be sent to another user. In the following, a case where a user uses music-related content will be mainly described.

In the embodiment of the present invention, "privilege information" is information provided to the user along with content information when purchasing a product. The privilege information includes information on privileges related to content information, information on admission to events related to content information, information related to digital privileges, and the like. The privilege is, for example, a privilege used in the event. The information on admission to the event includes information on admission tickets. The information on the privilege related to the content information includes information on the privilege ticket used in the event. Information related to digital benefits includes other content information related to the content.

The "admission ticket" has information on entry and participation in an event related to the content information. The admission ticket may be, for example, a guarantee of the right to enter the event, or may be a ticket for entering a lottery for admission to the event. Also, the admission ticket may indicate an admission reference number or a seat number in the event. In addition, events include both those held at actual event venues and those held online. An admission ticket is also called a ticket. Further, the type and rank of event seats may be changed according to the number of acquired admission tickets. In other words, the types and ranks of seats in the event differ according to the predetermined information regarding the admission to the event. The "privilege ticket" has information on benefits related to the content information. Privilege related to content information is not particularly limited as long as it enhances the added value of other products such as options that can be executed by users in content, prizes, and events related to the content information. The user can select different options in the event related to the content information according to the number of award tickets acquired. The different options may have a rank assigned to each option. In other words, the types and ranks of options that can be executed in the event differ according to the predetermined information regarding the privilege ticket. Options that can be selected include, for example, winning a prize, shaking hands with the artist, taking a picture with the artist, and having a conversation for a predetermined time.

Also, a serial code may be given as a privilege ticket and/or an admission ticket. The serial code is represented by random alphanumeric characters, and a different serial code is issued for each product. With the serial code, it is possible to acquire the right to participate in the event related to the content information, to acquire the privilege related to the content information, or to apply for a lottery for them. Also, the serial code may be used to obtain limited content or prizes, and the use of the serial code is not particularly limited. In addition, applications for events and benefits from the serial code can be executed from the artist's dedicated site related to content information or within the dedicated application. Along with the serial code, the URL of the site where you can apply for events or benefits may be given.

A "digital privilege" is content related to the content information, and is information different from the content information. The digital privilege is not particularly limited as long as it is digital content. Also, the digital privilege may be limited in terms of the number of times it is played back or when. The specific contents of the content information and privilege information can be appropriately set by operating the administrator terminal 3 by an artist, administrator, event organizer, or the like.

In the embodiment of the present invention, "merchandise information" is information about merchandise that the user can purchase, and includes content information and privilege information. Moreover, the product information may include at least content information and may not include privilege information, or may include either content information or privilege information. The product information may have a serial number, and the user may obtain content information and/or privilege information using the serial number. Also, "commodity" refers to, for example, an object of commercial transactions, and may be tangible or intangible.

[Product purchase process]
First, product purchase processing in the content management system will be described. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a flowchart of product purchase processing according to the embodiment of the present invention. The user starts an application program (hereinafter referred to as a dedicated application) downloaded to the user terminal 1 (step S10). It should be noted that it is preferable to have the user set the initial settings when the dedicated application is activated for the first time. As an initial setting, input name, nickname, user ID, e-mail address, password, date of birth, prefecture, and the like. The input initial setting information is transmitted to the server device 2 together with identification information of the user terminal 1 used by the user (also called a terminal-specific identification number; for example, UDID). The identification information of the terminal 1 and the input information are stored in association with each other. Therefore, when the dedicated application is started, the identification information of the user terminal 1 is transmitted from the user terminal 1 to the server device 2, and the user is specified, so that the user can omit the login operation of the dedicated application. It should be noted that the initial setting information and the identification information of the user terminal 1 are preferably encrypted and stored in the server device 2 .

When the dedicated app is launched, the display screen displays icons of multiple stores where products can be purchased. The user presses and selects the icon of the store displayed on the user terminal 1, and moves to the EC site of the store. A link of the EC site of the store is associated with the icon of the store, and pressing the icon enables transition to the EC site of the store. When the user selects a product to purchase on the EC site of the store and the user terminal 1 receives a request to purchase the product, the user terminal 1 sends a request to the server device 2 via the web server of the EC site of the store to purchase the product. A request is sent (step S11). The merchandise purchase request includes the quantity of merchandise to be purchased. The transmission of the product purchase request in step S11 can be said to be processing for purchasing the product. At the same time as step S11, the payment for the purchased product may be performed. When the server device 2 receives the product purchase request (step S12), the product information recorded in association with the product is extracted. The product information extracted by the server device 2 is transmitted to the user terminal 1 (step S13).

Here, it is preferable that the user inputs the user ID set in the dedicated application when purchasing the product. When the user ID is transmitted to the server device 2 together with the product purchase request, the server device 2 associates and stores the product purchased by the user with the user ID. If the user ID of the dedicated application has been transmitted in step S11, the purchase process can proceed without activating the dedicated application in step S10. That is, even if step S10 is omitted and the product is purchased from the EC site of the store displayed on the web browser, the product information can be associated with the dedicated application. At the time of purchase, the processing of steps S11 to S14 is executed, and after that, when the dedicated application is activated, the purchased product information is reflected in the dedicated application. It is also possible to employ a configuration in which two different user terminals 1 can use the content management system using the same single account (user ID). In this case, the identification information of each user terminal 1 and the user ID are associated and stored in the server device 2 . Therefore, when two or more pieces of terminal information are stored in association with one user ID, it is preferable that a display prompting the user to confirm whether or not multiple terminals may be registered with the same user ID is displayed.

When the product information is transmitted to the user terminal 1 in step S13, the user terminal 1 receives the product information (step S14). At this time, referring to the product information stored in the user terminal 1, the user terminal 1 detects whether or not the product information has already been received. If the product information received is new, the product information is newly stored in the user terminal 1 . When the product information is stored in the user terminal 1, a screen regarding the product is generated on the user terminal 1, and the user can use the content information and the like included in the product information. Next, addition of the number of purchases of the product is executed with respect to the number of purchases of the product purchased at the user terminal 1 (step S15). Next, the user terminal 1 stores the digital privilege (step S16). The number of privilege tickets is added to the number of privilege tickets owned by the user terminal 1 (step S17). Next, it is determined whether or not the user terminal 1 already has an admission ticket (step S18). If the user does not have an admission ticket (NO in step S18), the admission ticket is stored (step S19). If there is an admission ticket (YES in step S18), step S19 is not executed. Next, the number of times the gift can be sent is added (step S20). Then, the purchase result of the product is displayed on the user terminal 1 (step S21). After the processing of steps S10 to S21, the merchandise purchase processing ends. Note that the processing of steps S15 to S18 and S20 may be performed in a different order. The order of step S18 is changed, and when NO in step S18, step S19 is not executed and the process of the next step is executed. Also, if the product information does not include a privilege ticket, an admission ticket, or a digital privilege, the processes of steps S15 to S19 are not executed.

In the case of a product for which the admission ticket lottery is performed in the product purchase process, the step S18 of determining whether or not there is an admission ticket can be omitted. That is, even if the user already has an admission ticket, the process of step S19 can be performed. For example, an admission ticket lottery is performed, and as a result of the lottery, the previous admission ticket and the newly acquired admission ticket are compared, and the higher rank admission ticket is stored. Specifically, when a seat number is associated with an admission ticket, the lower the number, the higher the rank of the seat. is "10", the newly acquired admission ticket is stored, and the previously acquired admission ticket information is deleted. The previously acquired admission ticket numbered "300" is returned to the admission ticket lottery denominator. At this time, admission to the event may be guaranteed for admission tickets with a predetermined number or less. For example, only admission tickets with admission ticket numbers of "200" or less may be allowed to enter the event. In addition, when purchasing products all at once, the lottery processing can be performed in the same manner as described above. The lottery results are compared, and only the admission ticket with the highest rank is stored in step S19. At this time, the result of the lottery may be displayed on the display screen, and the user may select the desired admission ticket. When a selection input operation is performed, only the selected admission ticket is stored in the user terminal 1. - 特許庁Further, if the user does not own any admission ticket and cannot obtain an admission ticket in the lottery, the information on the admission ticket may not be stored in step S19. The lottery process is preferably performed at any timing between steps S12 to S18, so that the user can check the admission ticket lottery result at the same time as purchasing the product. As for the number of admission tickets that can be drawn by lottery, an upper limit may be set for each terminal, or a purchase limit may be set for a purchase per transaction.

In addition, when purchasing a product having information about admission to an event, the event to participate in can be selected in step S11. If there are multiple related events, the processing in step S17 may determine whether or not each event has an admission ticket. It can be judged as The determination of the presence or absence of an admission ticket is applied not only to the same product, but also to the case where the same event is held for a plurality of products stored in the user terminal 1 . That is, only one admission ticket is given for one event to the user ID registered in the dedicated application. Also, an event to participate in may be selected after the product purchase process. If there are multiple related events, you can choose which one you want to participate in. At this time, even if a player owns a plurality of admission tickets for participating in any event, only one admission ticket can be obtained for the same event. Alternatively, the lottery process described above may be performed.

In the above description, in step S18, the process of determining whether or not there is an admission ticket in the user terminal 1 is performed. In this case, you will have multiple admission tickets for one event. Therefore, it is preferable that the admission ticket functions as a lottery ticket for participating in the event, rather than as a guarantee of participation in the event. Also, the seat rank may be changed from B to A, or from A to S, depending on the number of admission tickets or the number of purchases of merchandise. In addition, it may be possible to designate a specific seat or a location such as the lower side or the upper side of the venue depending on the number of admission tickets or the number of purchases of products. In other words, the type of seat may be changed according to the number of admission tickets owned or the number of purchases of merchandise. Also, regarding the number of admission tickets, an upper limit may be set for the number of acquired tickets. In this case, in step S18, it may be determined whether or not the upper limit number of admission tickets has been reached. If the upper limit number of admission tickets has not been reached (YES in step S18), addition of admission tickets is executed. Similarly, when the admission ticket addition process is performed in step S19 without performing the determination in step S18, the event to participate in may be selected in step S11, or the event to participate in may be selected after the product purchase process. may

In the above, it is preferable that the quantity added to the number of purchases of the product, privilege ticket, admission ticket, and/or gift transmittable number is the same as the number of purchases of the product included in the product purchase request in step S11. . In addition, even if a threshold for the purchase amount is provided, the user terminal 1 or the server device 2 calculates the total amount of the purchased item, and adds a predetermined amount based on the amount exceeding the threshold. Alternatively, a predetermined quantity may be added each time the amount exceeds a predetermined amount.

As described above, since the product information includes the content information and privilege information, it is possible to set a higher price than when selling the content alone. Although the content can be purchased individually, it is preferable that the privilege ticket, admission ticket, and/or digital privilege included in the privilege information cannot be purchased separately.

Content information and/or privilege information included in product information can be arbitrarily set by an administrator. For example, the total number of privilege tickets, admission tickets, and/or digital benefits included in privilege information is set, and the privilege information includes privilege tickets, admission tickets, and/or digital benefits until the total number is reached. can be used. Specifically, if 100 admission tickets are to be issued, the user terminal 1 of the 101st and subsequent users may not include the admission ticket. Items that can be set by the administrator are not particularly limited as long as it is product information, but for example, various distribution restrictions such as upper limits on the number of privilege tickets, admission tickets and/or digital benefits to be distributed, entrance ticket lotteries, usage restrictions , restrictions on the number of products purchased, addition of privilege information, and the like. It is preferable that product information can be edited, for example, up to the release date of the product. Also, even after the product is put on the market, it may be possible to set the privilege information in consideration of the sales transition of the product. Product information is set by the administrator, but the product information can be entered by the person in charge of the product and approved by the final manager. Common electronic signatures and timestamps can be used for authorization. It is preferable to prevent editing of product information after approval. Also, for products with a set release date, the product may be released without approval.

An identification number (also referred to as a token) that is stored in association with the purchased product is assigned to the purchased product. A token is a unique identification number associated with one product, and is given each time the product is purchased. That is, even if the same product is purchased, the identification number of the first purchased product differs from the identification number of the second purchased product. Also, a serial number may be given. An NFT (Non Fungible Token) may be assigned as the product identification number. This makes it possible to prove the ownership of the product and prevent falsification of the product information.

The display on the display screen of the product purchased in the product purchase process will be described. When the user terminal 1 receives product information for a predetermined product for the first time, a screen of the purchased product is generated. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of purchased products according to the embodiment of the present invention. In the embodiment of the present invention, a product purchased by a user is also called a digital package.

As shown in FIG. 5, on the display screen, the contents of product information included in the purchased product are displayed and can be checked at a glance. As the contents of the product information, for example, artist name 30, product jacket image 31, product title 32, sound source download 41, digital privilege download 42, privilege ticket 43, admission ticket 44, gift 45, etc. are displayed. . Further, the display screen may display icons associated with dedicated application functions such as gallery 35 and player 36 . In the gallery 35, information on digital packages, privilege tickets, admission tickets, etc. are displayed in a list, and in the player 36, contents such as sound sources downloaded and stored in the user terminal 1 can be used.

The artist name 30 is the name of the artist who released the product. The product jacket image 31 may be an image representing the product or a moving image. The product title 32 indicates the name of the purchased product. Further, by pressing a button displayed on the right side or left side of the jacket image 31, the product information of other products stored in the user terminal 1 can be displayed. Switching the display to another product may be performed by swiping right or left around the jacket image 31 .

When the sound source download 41 is pressed, a screen for downloading the sound source of the purchased product is displayed. When a product contains multiple sound sources, all sound sources may be downloaded, or only an arbitrary sound source may be downloaded. The downloaded sound source is stored in the player 36 within the dedicated application. When the player 36 is pressed, a player within the dedicated application is displayed. The player displays tabs for each item such as artist name, album, song, playlist, recently added items, etc. By pressing each tab, the downloaded songs included in each item are displayed. . The user can listen to the sound source downloaded from the player in the dedicated application. In addition, in the content management system of one aspect of the present invention, the user can similarly use the content downloaded by the dedicated application in other applications stored in the user terminal 1 . Specifically, when a dedicated application wants to play back a downloaded sound source from another music playback application (hereafter referred to as a music playback application) registered in the user terminal 1, the user can use the dedicated application to " Press the icon that says "Play on another music player". When the input is received, other music reproduction applications registered in the user terminal 1 are detected and a list thereof is generated. Next, the user selects an arbitrary music playback application from the list of other music playback applications displayed on the display screen. When the selected music reproduction application is activated, the content information downloaded by the dedicated application is transmitted to the music reproduction application. As a result, the content downloaded by the dedicated application of the user terminal 1 can also be used by other music reproduction applications. The user can use the content acquired by the dedicated application with another music playback application of his/her preference. Note that the content transmitted from the dedicated application upon activation of another music playback application may be all sound source content stored in the dedicated application, or may be only specific content selected by the user. In addition, it is preferable that the content downloaded in the process of receiving a gift, which will be described later, cannot be transmitted to another music playback application.

It is preferable that the sound source download 41 cannot be pressed when the user has already downloaded the sound source, or when the download is not permitted due to reservation sales or the like. In other words, the administrator or the like can arbitrarily set the timing when the sound source download can be started in the content information. Also, a predetermined period during which the sound source can be downloaded may be set. Thereby, the user can purchase the product including the privilege information before the content is released.

By pressing the artist/digital package search 63 and entering an arbitrary character string, it is possible to search for artists and digital packages stored in the user terminal 1 . When the store 64 is pressed, a list of stores where the product can be purchased is displayed.

[List of privilege tickets]
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of a owned privilege ticket list according to the embodiment of the present invention. It can also be said that this screen is displayed when the icon of the above-mentioned privilege ticket 43 or the owned privilege ticket list 66 is pressed. As shown in FIG. 7, the display screen displays a list of privilege ticket information 71 owned by the user terminal 1 . Also, the privilege ticket information 71 may have a check box 72 .

The privilege ticket information 71 preferably includes the name of the artist of the product, the name of the title, the date of the event, the venue of the event, and the like. Further, when the privilege ticket information 71 of each privilege ticket is pressed, it is preferable that more detailed information about the privilege ticket is displayed. Also, when a serial code is received as a privilege ticket, the privilege ticket information 71 preferably displays the artist name, title name, serial code, expiration date, and the like of the product. It is preferable that the serial code is used to display information about events and benefits that can be applied for, information about sites for applying and lottery, and the like. Also, the privilege ticket information 71 displayed in the list is preferably a privilege ticket that can be used. In other words, it is preferable to hide the privilege coupons that have been used and the privilege coupons for past events. The privilege ticket information 72 displayed as a list is preferably displayed in chronological order, and in the privilege ticket information 71 displayed as well, privilege tickets to be used in future events are displayed in gray, for example, so that they can be used until the day of the event. It is preferable to display it in a manner that makes it clear that it cannot be done. Moreover, it is preferable that the check box 72 cannot be pressed for a privilege ticket to be used in a future event.

The process of using the privilege ticket at the event will be explained. First, on the user terminal 1, a privilege ticket to be used is selected, and the privilege ticket information of the privilege ticket is displayed on the display screen. Specifically, when the check box 72 is pressed to select a privilege ticket and then the icon 73 displaying "use" is pressed, the privilege ticket information is displayed. Next, the user presents the privilege ticket information displayed on his/her own user terminal 1 to the attendant at the event site. After confirming the privilege ticket information displayed on the display screen, the staff performs an input operation to the user terminal 1 . As an input operation, for example, pressing the "use" button displayed on the display screen again, swiping the display screen up, down, left, or right, or displaying a plurality of icons and pressing the icons at the same time and swiping. By setting complicated input operations, it is possible to prevent input due to erroneous operations. When the user terminal 1 receives an input operation, the user terminal 1 and/or the server device 2 store information indicating that the privilege ticket has been used. When the information indicating that the privilege ticket has been used is stored, the user terminal 1 cannot select the privilege ticket and display the privilege ticket information of the privilege ticket again on the display screen. That is, the privilege ticket becomes unusable. As a result, it is possible to prevent the same privilege ticket from being used multiple times. Also, even if the re-display of privilege ticket information is not restricted, the privilege ticket for which the information to the effect that it has been used is stored can be used by displaying the characters "done" or changing the display of "use" to black. It is preferably displayed in such a way that it can be seen that it is in a later state. It should be noted that the above-mentioned input operation by the attendant or the like may be input by the user in the presence of the attendant. Alternatively, a two-dimensional code having the identification information of the selected privilege ticket may be generated and displayed on the user terminal 1 instead of the input operation of the attendant or the like. In this case, by reading the two-dimensional code at a terminal operated by an attendant or the like and transmitting the information to the server device 2, the server device 2 and/or the user terminal 1 will be notified that the privilege ticket has been used. can be memorized. In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, a QR code (registered trademark) can be used as the two-dimensional code.

A plurality of privilege tickets to be used at the event may be selected. The selected number of sheets can be displayed on the display screen, for example, "1/3 sheet selection". If multiple award tickets are selected, pop-up screens such as "You can get a poster", "You can shake hands", "You can take a picture" are displayed according to the number of tickets selected. , the event may be configured to allow the user to confirm executable options. In other words, the information is displayed on the user terminal 1 in such a manner that the user can understand that the options that can be executed by the user are different in the event. In addition, a lottery may be drawn for user-executable options by selecting multiple reward vouchers. In other words, it is possible to draw a lottery for the privilege related to the content information according to the predetermined information related to the privilege related to the content information. In this case, it is preferable that the privilege ticket information of the lottery result is displayed on the display screen of the privilege ticket list.

[List of admission tickets]
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of a owned admission ticket list according to the embodiment of the present invention. It can also be said that this screen is displayed when the icon of the admission ticket 44 or the owned admission ticket list 65 is pressed. As shown in FIG. 8, a list of admission ticket information 81 owned by the user terminal 1 is displayed on the display screen. Also, the admission ticket information 81 may have a check box 82 .

The admission ticket information 81 preferably includes the name of the artist of the product, the name of the title, the date of the event, the opening/starting time of the event, the venue of the event, and the like. Also, when a serial code is received as an admission ticket, the admission ticket information 81 preferably displays the artist name, title name, serial code, expiration date, and the like of the product. As described above, it is preferable that the serial code is used to display information about events and benefits that can be applied for, information about sites for applying and lottery, and the like. The admission ticket information 81 displayed in the list is preferably admission tickets that can be used. In other words, it is preferable to hide used admission tickets and admission tickets for past events. The admission ticket information 82 displayed as a list is preferably displayed in chronological order. Also, in the displayed admission ticket information 81, admission tickets to be used for future events are displayed in gray or the like until the day of the event. It is preferable to display it in a manner that makes it clear that it cannot be done. In addition, it is preferable that the check box 82 cannot be pressed for admission tickets to be used at future events.

The process of using an admission ticket at an event will be explained. For the process of using admission tickets, the above-described process of using privilege tickets at events can be used by replacing the privilege tickets with admission tickets, so overlapping parts will be omitted as appropriate. First, the user terminal 1 selects the admission ticket to be used, and displays the admission ticket information of the admission ticket on the display screen. Next, the user presents the admission ticket information displayed on his/her own user terminal 1 to the attendant at the event site. After confirming the admission ticket information displayed on the display screen, the staff performs an input operation to the user terminal 1 . When the user terminal 1 receives an input operation, information indicating that the admission ticket has been used is stored in the user terminal 1 and/or the server device 2 . When the information to the effect that the admission ticket is used is stored, the admission ticket cannot be selected in the user terminal 1 and the admission ticket information of the admission ticket cannot be displayed again on the display screen. That is, the admission ticket becomes unusable. This can prevent the same admission ticket from being used multiple times.

It is preferable that the admission ticket displayed in the owned admission ticket list is an admission ticket for which admission to the event is guaranteed. In other words, it is preferable that one admission ticket is given to the user terminal 1 for one product. Alternatively, it is preferable that one admission ticket is given to the user terminal 1 for one event.

If there is an admission ticket that has been applied for a lottery for an event that the user wishes to participate in, it is preferable that an icon such as "under lottery" is displayed in the admission ticket information 81. FIG. Moreover, if the right to enter the event is not obtained as a result of the lottery, it is preferable that the admission ticket information is not displayed. In other words, it is preferable to change the display mode of the admission ticket information 81 depending on the lottery status. Also, it is preferable that the entry ticket information 81 before applying for the event includes the artist name and title name of the product. The date of the event, the opening/starting time of the event, the venue of the event, etc. may be displayed for those that the user can apply for, and are not displayed in the admission ticket information 81, but are displayed by pressing the admission ticket information 81. good too. When applying for an event lottery, or when seats can be selected according to the number of admission tickets, multiple admission tickets can be selected. The selected number of sheets can be displayed on the display screen, for example, "1/3 sheet selection". When multiple admission tickets are selected, a pop-up screen such as ``You can change from B seat to A seat'' or ``You can choose your favorite seat'' may be displayed according to the number of tickets selected. In other words, the information is displayed on the user terminal 1 in such a manner that the user can understand that the admission tickets that can be acquired by the user are different.

It should be noted that the privilege ticket and admission ticket described above are stored in association with the user terminal 1 and user ID, and are preferably configured such that they cannot be transmitted to other user terminals. Also, the privilege ticket and/or the admission ticket may be configured to be able to be transmitted to other user terminals. In this case, it is preferable that the personal information of the user operating the other user terminal is input before transmission. Also, the number of privilege tickets and/or admission tickets to be sent may be limited. Gift sending processing, which will be described later, can be used to send the privilege ticket and/or the admission ticket.

[Gift sending process]
A gift sending function that can send content information to other users according to the number of times the product has been purchased will be described. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a flow chart of gift sending processing according to the embodiment of the present invention. First, the user activates the dedicated application (step S30). The user selects a product to which the user wants to send a gift, and accepts the selection of the product on the user terminal 1 (step S31). When the product selection is accepted, the product display screen shown in FIG. 5 is displayed. By pressing the icon of the gift 45, the user accepts the selection of the gift to be sent on the user terminal 1 (step S32).

Next, it is determined whether or not there is a gift that can be sent at the user terminal 1 (step S33). If there is no gift that can be sent (NO in step S33), the process ends. It should be noted that when there is no gift that can be sent, it is preferable that the gift 45 icon cannot be pressed. If there is a gift that can be sent (YES in step S33), selection of a sending method is accepted (step S34). The sending method is not particularly limited, but it can be sent face-to-face, by e-mail, or through various SNSs. Here, if there are two or more gifts that can be sent, the user inputs the number of gifts to send. When the selection of the sending method and the number of gifts to be sent is accepted in step S34, a sending request is sent from the user terminal 1 to the server device 2 (step S35), and the sending request is received by the server device 2 (step S36). . When the server device 2 receives the sending request information, a URL and/or two-dimensional code associated with the gift information is generated (step S37). Sending information including the URL and/or the two-dimensional code is sent from the server device 2 to the user terminal 1 (step S38), and the sending information is received by the user terminal 1 (step S39). The gift sending process ends through the processes of steps S30 to S39.

Here, "gift information" includes content information such as a sound source selected by the user. The gift information may include only sound source information, or may include lyrics cards, jacket images, and other related content. In addition, it is preferable that the content sent as a gift be reproducible within a dedicated application, and that predetermined usage restrictions be set. For example, the predetermined usage restrictions include restrictions on the portion to be played, such as allowing only part of the content to be played, restrictions on the number of playbacks, such as allowing playback only a predetermined number of times, and restrictions on playback only for a predetermined period of time. Restriction of the reproduction period such as to allow gift information to be played, restriction of reproduction terminals such as allowing reproduction only on the terminal that received the gift information, prohibition of transfer of gift information, prohibition of duplication of gift information, and the like.

YES is determined in step S33 when the number of gifts that can be sent is one or more. In other words, it is when 1 or more is displayed in the possible gift number 54 . The number of possible gifts is calculated by subtracting the number of times gifts have been sent to other user terminals from the number of times gifts can be sent added in step S20. Alternatively, the number of gifts that can be sent may be managed by setting a flag for each gift and deleting the flag each time the gift is sent. Also, the number of times the gift can be sent may be calculated by subtracting the number of times the user terminal 1 has downloaded the sound source and the number of times the gift has been sent to other user terminals. In other words, if the user purchases the product once, the user cannot download the sound source or send the gift after executing either the sound source download or the gift delivery processing. Alternatively, the gift may be added from the second purchase of the product. With such a configuration, the user can always download the sound source one or more times.

The sending information includes gift information and information on the display screen before sending the gift to another user terminal based on the sending method selected in step S34. The sending information has a URL and/or two-dimensional code generated in association with the gift information. Also, on the display screen before the gift is sent, the artist name, the title, the generated URL and/or the two-dimensional code, the download URL of the dedicated application, etc. included in the gift information are displayed. When the sending information is received in step S39, the generated two-dimensional code is displayed on the user terminal 1, for example, when sending a gift face-to-face. Other users can receive the gift by reading the two-dimensional code from other user terminals. Also, when sending a gift by e-mail, a pre-sending screen including the generated two-dimensional code and/or URL is displayed. The user can send the mail by inputting the address of the destination as appropriate. Also, when sending a gift via SNS, a pre-post screen including the generated two-dimensional code and/or URL is displayed. At this time, the user can post not only the generated two-dimensional code and/or URL, but also add an explanation. When sending a gift via SNS, the gift can be sent without specifying the other party. That is, any other user who sees the user's post can receive the gift.

Also, the sending information may have a part of the gift information apart from the two-dimensional code and/or URL generated in association with the gift information. A part of the gift information may be content information that can be reproduced by an application other than the dedicated application. For example, if another user terminal can read the two-dimensional code and download the sound source of a song, it is a file that allows the user terminal to play a part of the sound source (for example, 15 seconds of the song). In step S37, the file is generated in the server apparatus 2. FIG. A part of the gift information is automatically generated from a predetermined portion and a predetermined length for starting reproduction of the preset content. Also, part of the gift information may be generated by selecting an arbitrary part by the user, but it is preferable that the selectable arbitrary part has a playable time, such as 15 seconds, determined. . Also, part of the gift information may include content information such as images and moving images. Other users who see the user's post including the generated two-dimensional code and/or URL on SNS etc., can use part of the gift information even if the dedicated application has not been downloaded to the other user terminal. Since it can be played in other applications, you can view part of the gift information before downloading the gift. When the user wants to obtain the gift after viewing a part of the gift information, the user can download the dedicated application to his/her user terminal and perform the process of receiving the gift, which will be described later. Part of the gift information may be disabled when all the downloadable gifts are consumed, or may not be subject to usage restrictions.

Gifts can be received while the dedicated app is running. When the user who receives the gift presses the digital package/gift acquisition 61 icon after activating the dedicated application, the camera of the user terminal 1 is activated. Then, the two-dimensional code presented by another user is photographed. Alternatively, after activating the dedicated application, the user selects a photograph of a two-dimensional code presented by another user or a two-dimensional code posted on an SNS or the like. Reading of the two-dimensional code is executed by these. Gift information associated with the read two-dimensional code is transmitted to the server device 2 . Alternatively, the user who receives the gift accesses the URL sent by e-mail or the URL posted on SNS or the like. When the URL is accessed, the gift information associated with activation of the dedicated application is transmitted to the server device 2 . The server device 2 extracts corresponding gift information from the received information. The corresponding gift information is transmitted from the server device 2 to the user terminal 1 and received by the user terminal 1 . Through these processes, the content such as the sound source included in the gift information can be used in the dedicated application of the user terminal 1 that has received the gift. When gift information associated with the generated two-dimensional code and/or URL is transmitted to the server device 2, it is determined whether or not the dedicated application has been downloaded, and the dedicated application has not been downloaded to the user terminal 1 that receives the gift. In this case, the user terminal 1 may display a screen prompting the user to download the dedicated application. If a dedicated application has been downloaded, it is preferable to configure the dedicated application to start up.

The number of times gift information is transmitted from the server device 2 to the user terminal 1 is limited to the number of gifts to be transmitted input in step S34. For example, when multiple people read the same two-dimensional code, when the read information is sent to the server device 2, the gift information is sequentially sent from the server device 2 to the user terminal 1 until the number of gifts entered is reached. . That is, when gift information is transmitted to the user terminal 1 by the same number as the input number of gifts, the gift information is transmitted to the user terminal 1 even if the read information is transmitted from the user terminal 1 to the server device 2 thereafter. not. Similarly, when the same user terminal transmits information read from the same two-dimensional code to the server device 2 a plurality of times, until the number of gifts that has been input is reached, Gift information will be sent to

When the number of gifts to be sent is input in step S34 and a request for sending is sent in step S35, the number of gifts that can be sent is subtracted from the number of times that gifts can be sent in step S33. . That is, the ownership of the content included in the gift information disappears from the user at the time when the transmission request in step S35 is transmitted. The ownership is transferred to the user who performed the operation of receiving the gift. In addition, in the content management system of one aspect of the present invention, a user who sends a gift cannot return the gift sent in the gift sending process to the number of times he or she can send the gift again. The sent gift can be received by oneself and the gift can be used.

[Digital package acquisition process]
In the embodiment described above, in the product purchase process of FIG. 4, the mode of purchasing products from the EC site of the store has been described. The content management system of the present invention can be applied.

In this case, the digital package/gift acquisition 61 icon is pressed to acquire the digital package. The two-dimensional code is read by activating the camera of the user terminal 1 and taking a picture of the two-dimensional code attached to the product, or by selecting a picture of the two-dimensional code attached to the product. be. The two-dimensional code contains information about product information. Information on the read two-dimensional code is transmitted to the server device 2 . When the server device 2 extracts the corresponding product information from the received information, the processing of steps S13 to S21 is executed. The product information transmitted from the information read from the actual product may be different from the product information of the product purchased from the EC site of the store. For example, restrictions may be placed on the download of sound sources and the addition of gifts. Also, the transmission of the product information from the server device 2, which is executed by reading the two-dimensional code, may be executed only by reading the two-dimensional code for the first time. In other words, the product information is not transmitted in the second and subsequent two-dimensional code readings. This makes it possible to prevent sending to the user more content information and privilege information than the purchased product. Incidentally, in the digital package acquisition process described above, the serial number of the product may be used instead of the two-dimensional code.

[sales management]
In the embodiment of the present invention, personal information such as name, date of birth, prefecture of residence, and gender can be registered in the dedicated application as user information. These pieces of information are also referred to as user types. In addition, the server device 2 stores the number of products purchased, the date of purchase, the presence or absence of sound source downloads, and information on gifts. Therefore, the administrator can aggregate and display various kinds of information about products on the administrator terminal 3 . For example, the number of sales of all products, the number of purchases per person, the date of purchase of the product, the number of times the sound source was downloaded in the dedicated application, the number of times the user gave a gift, the number of times the gift recipient used the content, the number of purchases A user's age, sex, place of residence, etc. can be managed. This allows the manager to easily manage the sales situation. Also, the manager can easily check the correlation between the event and the number of sales.

In the above-described embodiment of the invention, the server device 2 executes product purchase processing and gift sending processing, and stores various types of information. good. A blockchain network can be built as a private network or as a public network. Information management by blockchain maintains security and guarantees the ownership of the digital package to the user, thus preventing the resale of privilege information. The information held in the digital package in the block chain includes the identification number of the digital package itself, the sales channel ID, the sales channel store ID, the user ID, the price of the digital package, and the like.

Also, in the embodiments of the invention described above, the configuration for downloading content has been described, but the content may be obtained by streaming.

According to the present invention, content information can be transmitted to other user terminals in response to satisfaction of a predetermined condition regarding the purchase of a product, so content can be provided to a user who has not purchased a product. can do. Furthermore, since content information can be transmitted to other users regardless of whether they are specified or unspecified, an increase in the number of fans can be expected. This enables new marketing to expand the market. According to the present invention, since content information transmitted from a user terminal to another user terminal is subject to reproduction restrictions, rights of artists and content holders can be protected. Further, according to the present invention, it is possible to sell, on the Internet, products containing content information, information about admission tickets for events related to the content information, and/or information about privilege tickets used in the events. can. According to the present invention, an administrator or the like can flexibly distribute privilege information in various forms to users. Therefore, it is possible to increase the user's satisfaction and willingness to buy.

Moreover, according to the present invention, a digital privilege can be distributed at a predetermined time, so a campaign can be held with a limited time. Moreover, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide users with products having various variations. Moreover, according to the present invention, a large number of CDs are not discarded due to the purchase of a large number of conventional CDs, and an environment-friendly system can be provided. According to the present invention, event admission tickets and/or privilege tickets are managed by the user ID associated with the user terminal 1, so that admission tickets and/or privilege tickets cannot be illegally transferred to other user terminals. can be prevented. Therefore, resale of admission tickets and/or privilege tickets can be prevented. In addition, according to the present invention, since products can be distributed online, there is no need to control actual product inventory and physical distribution.
