32). These selections (that is, input of store selection data) can be performed by clicking.

Opponent Selection Step When the store selection data is input, the server 1 searches the customer database 13 and searches for the opposite sex customer who has input data matching the store selection data input by the customer (S34).

The search will be described with reference to FIG. 6. First, the server 1 displays a message prompting the customer to input whether or not to register information (S42). If the customer inputs that information is to be registered, the server 1 registers the store selection data input by the customer in the customer database 13 and makes the customer a waiting member, and does not search the customer database 13 (S43). , S50).

If the customer inputs that information is not registered, the server 1 performs a primary search as a customer database 13
Of the waiting members of the opposite sex registered in, the customer who requested the search is an individual member if the customer is an individual, or a member of the same group if the customer is a group, and the customer who requested the search is the primary party. Store that is the same as the store selected as
Search for the member selected as the location for the next meeting. When such a member is found, the matching ratio is set to 50%, and when it is not found, it is set to 0% (S44).

Next, as a secondary search, the server 1 selects, from the members found by the primary search, the same store as the store selected by the customer requesting the search as the location of the secondary meeting. The member selected as the place (or the member who has not selected the second party) is searched. When such a member is found, the matching ratio is increased by 50% (S44). If such a member is not found, a message is displayed on the screen prompting the customer to change the location of the second party, and the city map page G8 is displayed again (S46). If the customer has changed the location of the second party, new conditions are set (S48), and the secondary search is performed again. If the customer has not changed, the search is terminated. If the customer who requested the search has not selected the second party,
Without performing the secondary search, increase the matching ratio by 50%.

The server 1 determines that the matching ratio is 1
In the case of 00%, information such as the name of the partner found by the search is displayed in a list on the waiting list of the information center page G7 as shown in FIG. 9 (S49), and the customer is prompted to select the partner. A partner selection screen is displayed (see S36 in FIG. 4). If the matching ratio is less than 100%, the server 1 registers the store selection data input by the customer in the customer database, makes the customer a waiting member, and informs the information center page G7 that no partner was found. indicate. That is, when the matching ratio is less than 100%, the customer becomes a waiting member.

On the information center page G7, the customer selects a partner he / she wants to meet from the members displayed in the list. This selection (that is, input of the partner selection data) can be performed by clicking.

Consent Confirmation Step When the partner selection data is input, the server 1 displays a message prompting the user to input the date and time of the first party and, if the second party is selected, the date and time of the second party. Do. When the customer inputs the date and time, the server 1 searches the customer database for the e-mail address of the selected partner based on the partner selection data, and sends a confirmation mail G10 to the client terminal C of the selected partner. Send by e-mail. This confirmation mail G10 is also transmitted by e-mail to the client terminal C of the customer who has selected the partner. If the customer has not selected any partner on the partner selection screen of the information center page G7, the server 1 displays the information center page G7 again (S37, S23).

As shown in FIG. 9, the confirmation mail G10 includes a password, an ID, target information according to the name, fortune-telling result, and character as partner information, shop information of a store to be reserved, a reservation date and time, a fee, and a payment method. Etc. are displayed, and it is displayed to return whether or not to agree with the encounter. The customer and the other party confirm the setting contents of the encounter by the confirmation mail G10 and return whether or not they agree.

It should be noted that the password and the ID are displayed for the customer and the partner are displayed for the customer, and the IDs are not disclosed in the confirmation mail. As the partner information, information on the partner selected by the customer is displayed for the customer, and information on the customer who selected the partner is displayed for the partner. Further, the confirmation mail G10 displays the character image of the partner selected by the customer for the customer and the character image of the customer who selected the partner to the partner, as if the agent (agent) of the partner or the customer was displayed. ) Is displayed as if the mail were delivered.

Result Display Step When both the customer and the partner see the confirmation mail G10 and reply to the server 1 that they agree to the encounter, the server 1 transmits the client terminal C of the customer and the client terminal C of the partner.
Then, a return mail G11 indicating that the encounter has been established is transmitted by e-mail. In the return mail G11, in addition to shop information, event information, and the like, each other's ID is displayed, and a display is made as if each character image delivers mail as each other's agent (agent).

The return mail G11 allows the customer and the partner to know each other's ID.

The message is provided with a character image of the member who transmitted the message, and is displayed as if the mail were delivered as an agent (agent) of the member.

When either the customer or the partner returns to the server 1 that they do not agree with the encounter, the server 1 sends the client terminal C of the customer and the client terminal C of the partner to
Returned mail G11 that each of them did not meet
Is transmitted by e-mail. In this case, the IDs are not displayed on the return mail G11.

Reservation Step When the encounter is established, as shown in FIG. 10, the operator of the present system transmits the reservation contents such as the date and time and the number of persons by facsimile to the store selected as the meeting place. Make a reservation. In addition, the customer deposits the usage fee of the store used as a meeting place into the account of the operator by transfer, and the operator pays the received usage fee to the store.

The final confirmation mail G13 displays the content of the encounter, displays a message prompting a reply as to whether there is any cancellation or change, and also displays shop information, event information, and the like. Upon seeing the reply to the final confirmation mail G13, if there is any cancellation or change, the operator informs the store of the cancellation or facsimile by facsimile or telephone, and performs processing such as refund.

As described above, in the present system, information on stores that can be used as meeting places is displayed on the client terminal C, so that customers can easily obtain information on stores that can be used as meeting places. it can.

Further, since the customer can select a store that can be used as a meeting place on the screen of the client terminal C, the store can be easily selected. Further, since the partner to be met can be selected from the partners who have selected the same store, the customers can meet each other at the store that they care about.

In addition, customers can be registered in groups of a plurality of people, and groups of the same number of people can be set as meeting partners. Therefore, it is not necessary to adjust the number of people, and it is possible to easily set up encounters between groups. Can be.

Further, since the result of the fortune-telling and the aim corresponding to the character are displayed on the client terminal C, the result of the fortune-telling and the aim can be used so that the customers become closer to each other.

Also, since the character image of the other party is displayed on the mail as if it were the other party's agent, it is easy to learn the friendship of the other party even before actually meeting, and enjoy exchanging messages and the like. It can be carried out.

Since the customer does not need to make a reservation for the store himself, he can easily set up a meeting place.

Further, since the store can display the information of the store on the client terminal C, not only the advertisement effect is obtained but also the profit is obtained by using the store as a meeting place. be able to. In addition, by being used as a meeting place not only between individuals, but also between groups, it is possible to increase the use rate of the store and obtain profits. Therefore, if the store is to bear the operating costs of the present system, the customer can use the present system free of charge. And
If the number of members increases as a result of making the use fee of the present system free, the number of customers of the store will increase, and the store will be able to further profit.

Although the present embodiment is configured as a system for encountering opposite sexes, the present invention can also be configured as a system or method for meeting customers regardless of gender. That is, for example, on the customer data input page G3, in order to register even a mixed gender group, the gender of each member is entered for the group, and the same sex is asked in the primary search in the partner selection step. First, by searching for members who have selected the same store as the location of the first party, the customer may be able to select individuals of the same gender or groups including the same gender as partners to meet.

Although the present embodiment is configured as a system for meeting with the same number of people, the present invention can also be configured as a system or method for meeting with customers regardless of the number of people. is there. That is, for example, in the primary search of the partner selection step, members who have selected the same store as the place of the first party regardless of whether they have the same number of people may be searched.

By configuring the present invention so that customers can meet each other irrespective of gender and number of people, the present invention can be used as a system or method for setting, for example, a job interview place. Can be.

In the present embodiment, the location of the second party can be selected, but the customer is allowed to select only the location of the first party,
A store that is a place for the second party may be introduced only on the screen. This makes it easy for the customer to select only the location of the first party, so that the possibility of meeting is high. Further, the system of the present invention can be easily applied even when the affiliated store is only a store suitable for the first party such as a restaurant. Conversely, the place of the second party may be always selected. As a result, it is possible to increase the utilization rate of the partner stores.

In the present embodiment, the member who has selected the same store as the place selected by the customer as the place of the first party is set as a possible partner, but, for example, the customer selected the place of the first party. A member who has selected a similar store that is not the same as the store may also be a possible partner. Here, similar stores may be stores having the same type of cuisine, for example, both are Japanese restaurants. As a result, the customer is more likely to be met, and can meet the partner at a similar store even if the store is not a favorite store. In addition, the possibility of the store being used is increased for the store.

Further, in this embodiment, the customer is in the first party 2
Only one store could be selected at the next meeting, but it is possible to select multiple stores or select a store according to the range of the region and the type of cuisine, such as any Japanese restaurant located in the selected region And the same store (duplicate store)
May be a partner who can meet at least one customer selected. As a result, the possibility of meeting is high for the customer, and the possibility of using the store is high for the store.

Further, in the present embodiment, the partner is searched only based on which store is selected. However, the partner may be searched by adding the result of the fortune-telling to the search condition. For example, among the contacts searched according to which store was selected, if the fortune-telling result is further referred to and a compatible partner is selected and displayed on the waiting list, if the number of members increases, the partner can be identified. You can narrow down, and customers can meet with a good partner. Also, fortune-telling is, of course, not limited to the one using the four pillars as described above.

In this embodiment, the confirmation mail G10
And the return e-mail G11 was sent to both the customer who requested the search and the selected opponent, but the confirmation e-mail G10 was sent only to the opponent, prompting only the opponent to input consent data,
A return mail G11 indicating whether or not the meeting is established is transmitted only to the customer.
D may be transmitted by another mail.

Further, in this embodiment, the operator transmits the reservation information to the store by using a facsimile, but a computer is provided at each affiliated store so that the computer and the server 1 can communicate with each other. The reservation information may be transmitted from the server 1 to the computer of the store to be reserved.

In the present embodiment, the store usage fee is transferred to the customer. However, the customer inputs the credit card number to the server 1 via the client terminal C, and the store usage fee is transferred to the customer. The store may deduct the usage fee from the customer's account after the operator debits the account or after the customer uses the store.

The system configuration can be freely changed without departing from the scope of the claims, for example, the main server 11 and the mail server 12 are not separated but are integrated into one.

Further, for example, the input as to whether or not to register information is made before the search of the customer database 13 but after the search, and the partner is not found, or the partner is found but the customer selects any partner. The processing flow can be freely changed without departing from the scope of the claims, for example, when the processing is not performed.
