Next, the site 1 requests the child 3 who is a participant to confirm the "birthday plan" created by the grandparents 2 by e-mail (step S2). Then,
The child 3 accesses the "birthday plan" screen using his / her ID and password, confirms the "birthday plan" created by the grandparents 2, and inputs the correction contents if there is an item to be corrected. Then, if the user understands, the intention to understand is input (step S3). It should be noted that, in the “birthday plan”, the items designated by the sponsor (that is, the grandparents 2) may not be displayed. For example, grandparents 2 will bear all the costs of the birthday party, so
When it is desired not to display the amount on the display, the amount of money or the like can be prevented from being displayed on the child 3 by the designation of the grandparents 2. In other words, it is also the organizer to display the dinner course A at the restaurant light for meals, the NES for birthday presents, etc., but not to display those amounts. It can be freely done by the intention of grandparents 2.

Next, the site 1 requests the grandparent 2 who is the sponsor to confirm the "birthday plan" that the child 3 who is a participant has understood or corrected by email (step S4). Then, grandparents 2 had a "birthday plan"
It is considered that the child 3 has understood that the contents of (1) are suitable for the grandchild 4, and confirms the "birthday party plan" and orders the site 1 (step S5).

From the plurality of designated dates, the user's convenient day is selected by the calendar on the dedicated screen notified from the site 11 through. At this time, the secretary 12 can also add a simple questionnaire such as a request for cooking. The secretary 12 is the A member 13a and the B member 13b.
By confirming the total result of the questionnaire sent from the N member 13n via the site 11, a plurality of dates and times considered to be appropriate are determined, and at the same time, a policy such as cooking is determined.

Here, the calendar of the dedicated screen notified from the secretary 12 to each member 13a, 13b ... 13n via the site 11 will be described. In determining the date and time of the party, the site 11 includes members 13a, 13b ...
Based on the desired date and time collected from 13n, the optimum date and time is automatically determined by the priority order given in advance, and this is presented to the secretary 12.

FIG. 4 is a screen in which the secretary designates a candidate date and time in order to ask each member for a convenient date and time. In FIG. 4, a state in which the secretary 12 clicks the desired date is indicated by a double circle. In this case, 7/4, 5, 6, 9, 1
The secretary 12 is a member 13a, 1 of the participating members for the schedule after 19:00, 20:00, and 21:00 on 0, 16, and 18 days.
This means that it is set to ask 3b ... 13n for convenience. That is, the screen shown in FIG. 4 becomes a basic screen, and the site 11 automatically creates a questionnaire screen for each member 13a, 13b ... 13n, and each member 13a, 13b
... 13n is notified.

FIG. 5 is a screen where the site asks each member for a convenient date and time. That is, the screen of FIG. 4 created by the secretary 12 is processed by the server 11 into a questionnaire screen as shown in FIG. In FIG. 5, each of the members 13a, 13b ... 13n clicks on the desired date and time to register at their convenience. In FIG. 5, a state in which a member (for example, A member 13a) clicks the desired date is indicated by a double circle. In this case, 7/5,
6th, 16th, and 18th are convenient, but 7/6 indicates that it is only convenient after 20:00, and 7/18 is available only after 21:00.

FIG. 6 is a screen on which the site 11 collects the answers from the group members 13a, 13b ... 13n. That is, the site 11 totals the response results from the members 13a, 13b ... 13n on the screen as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, the priority order set by the secretary 12 in advance is 1st place: B, 2nd place: F, 3rd place: D
Then, the site 11 selects date candidates such as 7/6 in the first place, 7/4 in the second place, and 7/16 in the third place, in comparison with days having many convenient days. And site 1
1 sends the screen as shown in FIG. 6 to the secretary 12. Then, the secretary 12 can confirm the desired date and time of each member 13a, 13b ... 13n on the screen shown in FIG. Then, when the secretary 12 clicks the decision button, the date and time setting ends. Figure 7
Is a schedule adjustment screen created based on the result of the desired date and time questionnaire in FIG. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, 7/6 (Friday) as the first candidate has 6 participants, and as a reference day, 7/4 (Wednesday) has 5 participants and 7/16 (Monday).
6 participants are displayed, each member 13a, 13b ... 1
3n is notified. In this way, the schedule of the party is adjusted.

Returning to FIG. 3 again, in step S13, the secretary 12 is the group member member 13a,
13b ... Based on the aggregation result of 13n, the site 11 is searched for an event plan relating to the optimum venue. That is, when the secretary 12 inputs various conditions such as the date and time, the number of people, the holding area, and the food, and searches for an event plan, the site 11 presents a plurality of event plans. For example, a family restaurant, a Chinese restaurant, a Japanese restaurant, or the same Chinese restaurant, A restaurant, B restaurant,
You can show a C hotel. by this,
The secretary 12 can narrow down the event plans by checking the detailed contents for each event plan.

Next, in step S14, the secretary 12
Refers to some event plans that have been narrowed down, and confirms the availability of one or more stores via the site 11. In other words, the secretary 12 has several stores connected to the site 11, that is, the A store 14a and the B store 14
b ... Picks up a desired plurality of stores or one store from the N stores 14n and confirms availability. It should be noted that the site 11 sends a confirmation of the availability to the picked-up store (for example, the A store 14a) by email, and the result is notified to the secretary 12 via the site 11. In this case, the number of stores whose availability matches the event plan may be one or a plurality of stores.

Further, in step S15, secretary 1
2 confirms with the group members about the event plan that was finally narrowed down. In other words, the secretary 12 selects some event plans that are finally narrowed down by the vacant store (for example, the A store 14a), and the group member (that is, the A member 13
a, B member 13b ... N member 13n) is requested to select a desired event plan by e-mail. At this time, the secretary 12 can limit the members who request the selection of the event plan to some members. For example, it is possible to request only members who want to attend to select an event plan. That is, the secretary 12 confirms the voting result of the event plan by the group members in this way.

Then, in step S16, secretary 1
2 confirms the event plan based on the voting results of the group members, makes a reservation to a predetermined store (for example, A store 14a) and notifies the group members of the final event guide via the site 11. . That is, site 1
1 sends a reservation e-mail to the confirmed store (for example, A store 14a), and all the group members (that is, A member 13a, B member 13b ... N member 13).
In n), a guide mail that records the date, time, place, budget, etc. of the event will be sent. At this time, some members will be sent an email with some information such as budget deleted. You can also do it. For example, in the case where the membership fee is not collected from the member who is an invited guest, it is possible to notify the member not to disclose the membership fee item.

Next, in step S17, the secretary 12
Will accept absentee communication. That is, the member (for example, the B member 13b) who is no longer able to attend is notified to the site 11 of the absence. Then, from site 11 to secretary 12
On the other hand, a notification that the B member 13b is absent is sent by e-mail, and an e-mail for changing the number of people is sent from the site 11 to the store that holds the event (for example, the A store 14a).

Furthermore, in step S18, the site 11 sends a final confirmation message to the secretary 12 two days before the scheduled event date. Secretary 12
Will perform a reconfirmation to reconfirm the results that reflect non-participating member information. Then, step S19
On the day before the scheduled event,
Will send a reminder email for final confirmation to all participating members. Through the steps described above, the secretary 12 is supported by the optimum event plan and the event is executed.

Here, according to the registration conditions such as preferences and work locations of the members participating in the party, the secretary 1 from the site 11 is selected.
A case where the recommendation is presented in 2 will be described. Figure 8
Is a registration screen of work locations and preferences of participating members registered on the site. In other words, each member 13
Information such as the nearest station and preference of the work place for each of a, 13b ... 13n can be registered. Such a registration item can be arbitrarily provided by the secretary as needed. Further, FIG. 9 is a screen in which the site presents recommendation information to the secretary based on the registration information as shown in FIG. For example, in Figure 9, the areas within 20 minutes from the nearest station of the participating members this time are Ginza, Yurakucho, Tokyo, and Akasaka. Regarding the recommendation regarding cooking, "Mr. B does not like Thai food, There is none"
For example, "Mr. E doesn't like Chinese food," or "Recommendations about drinks,""Priority 1
Mr. B likes beer and wine. " That is, the site 11 automatically judges from the confirmed registration information of the participating members and manages 1
Recommendation information can be presented in 2.

Further, as described a little in step S15 described above, it is possible to make a difference in the items disclosed for each member by notifying each member of the screen URL having different contents depending on the purpose of the party. FIG. 10 is a screen in which the items to be disclosed for each member are differentiated based on the registration screen set by the secretary. (A) is a secretary registration screen, and (b) is for A, D, E, and G. The screen, (c) is the screen for Mr. F, and (d) is the screen for Mr. B. That is, the registration screen set as shown in FIG. 9A is displayed on the secretary screen. In the figure, the ⊚ mark indicates a state where the corresponding item is clicked. For example, Mr. B indicates that he is an invitee to the farewell party and he / she does not disclose expenses and attendance costs when attending the guests. In addition, Mr. F indicates that he / she will be invited to the wedding gift, the cost will be half the cost for attending the guest, and the contribution will not be disclosed. Therefore, the screen for general members A, D, E, and G is a voting screen for requesting the setting of a plan disclosing the budget and burden amount per person, as shown in FIG. If you click the store name, you can see the store introduction and menu examples.

On the other hand, on the screen of Mr. F invited to the wedding celebration, as shown in FIG. 9C, the budget per person is disclosed, but the burden amount is not disclosed. It is a screen. The screen of Mr. B invited to the farewell party is a voting screen for requesting the setting of a plan in which neither the budget nor the burden amount per person is disclosed, as shown in FIG.
