BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
1 to 9 show a user management device 1, a user management program, and a computer-readable recording medium on which the program is recorded according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The user management device 1 promotes registration of a new user by introducing a user identified by a user ID 8 (Identification) as user identification information, and operates via the Internet 6 as a communication network in this example. It is configured as a Web server device, and is configured to be connectable to the introducer terminal 2 of the introducer and the introducer terminal 3 of the introducer via the Internet 6 as shown in FIG.
[0049]
FIG. 2 shows a configuration of the user ID 8 used in the present invention. The user ID 8 is a personal ID 8a as personal identification information unique to the user, and a unique introducer identification of the introducer who introduced the user. It includes an introducer ID 8b as information. Each ID is composed of alphanumeric characters and symbols in this example. The principal ID 8a may be a combination of alphanumeric characters and symbols desired by the principal, as long as the principal ID 8a does not overlap with the registered principal ID 8a of another person. The method of arranging the principal ID 8a and the introducer ID 8b is not particularly limited. For example, the arrangement may be such that the introducer ID 8b is at the top, or the principal ID 8a and the introducer ID 8b are alternately arranged one by one. In addition, the introducer ID 8b can be configured to be changeable to another user's ID. In this case, for example, it is preferable that only the introducer himself and the administrator of the user management device 1 can change the ID.
[0050]
FIG. 3 shows a configuration of the introducer terminal 2 and the introduced terminal 3 as information terminals used by the introducer and the introduced person. The terminals 2 and 3 are not particularly limited as long as they are terminals that can connect to the Internet 6, and examples thereof include a PC (Personal Computer), a PDA (Personal Digital Assistance), and a mobile phone. The introducer terminal 2 (or the referee terminal 3) includes a terminal main body 11 for controlling the operation of the entire terminal, a display unit 12 for displaying a guide message, a processing progress of the terminal main body 11, and the like. An input unit 13 for inputting instructions and data and a communication unit 14 for connecting to the Internet 6 are provided. The terminal body 11 includes a Web browser unit 15 for exchanging information with the user management device 1 via the Internet 6 and a mail unit for receiving a notification from the user management device 1 by e-mail. 16 is provided.
[0051]
The display unit 12 includes, for example, a liquid crystal display device, a CRT display device, and the like. The display unit 12 displays a menu for selecting a process of the user management device 1, an input screen for inputting data, and the like. Hereinafter, unless otherwise specified, "display" means to display on the display unit 12.
[0052]
The input unit 13 includes, for example, a key input device such as a keyboard and a numeric keypad, and a pointing device such as a mouse and a trackball. The input unit 13 is used to input an instruction to be transmitted to the user management device 1, data, and the like. Hereinafter, unless otherwise specified, “input” or “designation” refers to input or designation by the input unit 13.
[0053]
FIG. 4 shows the user management device 1. The user management device 1 includes a device main body 17 that controls the operation of the entire device, a storage unit 18 that stores programs and data, a display unit 12 that displays a guide message, a process progress of the device main body 17, and the like. An input unit 13 for inputting operation instructions and data to the device and a communication unit 14 for connecting to the Internet 6 are provided.
[0054]
The device main body 17 has a known configuration in which a CPU (central processing unit), a ROM (read only storage device), a RAM (read / write storage device), and the like (all not shown) are connected to each other via a bus. It is a computer. The device main body 17 reads the programs and data stored in the storage unit 18 into the RAM, and controls the entire user management device 1 according to the contents.
[0055]
The storage unit 18 includes, for example, storage devices such as a hard disk device, a removable disk device (a reading device for a removable recording medium such as a flexible disk, a magneto-optical disk, a CD-ROM, a CD-R, and a CD-RW), and a memory card. Has become. The hard disk device and the removable recording medium include a user management program including an introduction reception process 20, a self-introduction reception process 21, a registration reception process 22, and a reward providing process 23, which will be described later, and a user ID management DB 30 (in this document, "database"). Is abbreviated as “DB”). The hard disk device or the removable recording medium is a computer-readable recording medium on which a user management program is recorded.
[0056]
The user ID management DB 30 is storage means for storing registration information of each user in association with the user ID 8, and for each user, a user ID 8 for identifying the user from other users, a password for the user ID 8, and a name. , A contact address, a contact telephone number, a contact e-mail address, and a record set including user registration information such as an account of a financial institution to which a referral fee is to be paid.
[0057]
Next, the user management program will be described. In the following description, when “X” is input from the terminal (the introducer terminal 2 or the referee terminal 3), guide display information for prompting the input of “X” from the user management device 1 is transmitted to the terminal. The user is prompted to input by transmitting and displaying the guide on the terminal, and to input to the user management device 1 by receiving the “X” input to the terminal based on the guide display from the terminal via the Internet 6. Say. When displaying “X” on the terminal, it means transmitting “X” from the user management device 1 to the terminal and displaying the same on the terminal.
[0058]
The introduction reception process 20 is a process of receiving information of a referee from a user, and is executed when the introducer connects the introducer terminal 2 to the user management device 1 and opens a web page for introduction. ing. As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 5, in the introduction receiving process 20, first, the user ID 8 and the password of the introducer are input from the introducer terminal 2 (step S101). Next, a record including the user ID 8 input by the introducer is searched from the user ID management DB 30 (step S102). The search result is checked (step S103), and if no record including the user ID 8 is found, the present process is terminated (step S111). When the record is found, the password is collated with the password input by the introducer (step S104), and if they do not match, the process ends (step S111). If they match, the introduction information of the referee (name of the referee, contact e-mail address, etc.) is input from the introducer terminal 2 (step S105). Next, access information to be described later is generated for accessing the registration window (in this example, the registration reception process 22 of the user management device 1) for receiving the referral via the Internet 6 (step S106). . Next, designation of a method of introduction to the referee is input from the introducer terminal 2 (step S107). The entered guidance method is checked (step S108), and when "automatic guidance" is designated, the registered guidance information and the access information are sent to the referee by e-mail directly to the contact e-mail address included in the introduction information. It is issued (step S109), and when "guidance by introducer" is designated, the registered guide information and access information are issued to the introducer (step S110). Then, the present process ends (step S111). In the case of introduction by the introducer in step S110, the introducer later sends the referee by e-mail, prints it on a sheet or records it on a recording medium, mails it, or hands it over.
[0059]
Here, the access information is not particularly limited, but in this example, the access information is a URL associated with the introducer's principal ID 8a and the user ID 8. For example, a URL containing the introducer's personal ID 8a and user ID 8 as data (for example, “http://www.aaaaaa.co.jp/register.cgi?ID=●●●” is set. "●●●" indicates the introducer's principal ID 8a or user ID 8 (the same applies to the following description), or a URL that partially includes the introducer's principal ID 8a or user ID 8 (for example, "http" ///Www.aaaaaa.co.jp/●●●/register.htm ”). In this example, the former is adopted, and specifically, the access information is assumed to be a URL including the introducer's principal ID 8a as data. As exemplified above, the user ID 8 may not be directly included in the URL data or a part of the URL but may be indirectly associated via some mediation information.
[0060]
Also, the e-mail including the access information and the registration guide information is not particularly limited. For example, the subject is "Introduction of the XX site by the introduction of A" and the like, and it is clearly stated that the e-mail is from A. In this way, we can differentiate from unsolicited unsolicited e-mails and, if the referee is an acquaintance of A, reduce the resistance to e-mails so that the referee can see the e-mail contents. The possibility of getting it can be increased. In addition, the registration guidance information is connected by a URL as access information, and when the referee has registered as a user, it is specified that benefits such as a discount of a fee are provided to the referee. By guaranteeing the merits of the introducer, it is possible to reduce the resistance and annoyance of the introducer to the profit relationship between the introducer and the operator of the user management device 1.
[0061]
The self-introduction receiving process 21 is a process for receiving a self-introduction from the introducer himself. The self-introduction reception process 21 is executed when the introducer connects the introducer terminal 3 to the user management device 1 and opens a self-introduction Web page. It is supposed to be. As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 6, in the self-introduction receiving process 21, first, the introducer who wishes to perform user registration by self-introduction inputs his / her introduction information from the introducer terminal 3 (step S121). Next, the access information for accessing the registration window (in this example, the registration reception process 22 of the user management device 1) for receiving the referral via the Internet 6 is generated (step S122). Next, registration guide information and access information are issued to the referee by e-mail to the referee (step S123), and the process is terminated (step S124). Since there is no introducer, it is not possible to associate the introducer's principal ID 8a or user ID 8 with the access information in step S122. Therefore, a predetermined ID indicating the self-introduction (the same format as the principal ID 8a or user ID 8 is used). Recruitment). This can be understood that the user management device 1 is an introducer. In step S123, instead of issuing the e-mail, or simultaneously issuing the e-mail, the registration guide information and the access information may be displayed on the referee terminal 3.
[0062]
The registration accepting process 22 is a process for accepting a user registration from a referral who has accessed by a URL as access information, and is executed when accessed by the URL. Since the URL includes the introducer's principal ID 8a as data, the introducer can be specified by this. As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 7, in the registration receiving process 22, first, user registration information is input from the referral terminal 3 (step S141). Next, the principal ID 8a of the introduced person is generated (step S142), and the user ID 8 including the principal ID 8a of the introducer (or a predetermined ID when self-introduction) is generated in addition to the principal ID 8a (step S143). ). Next, the user ID 8 is issued to the referee, and the user registration information for the user ID 8 is stored in the user ID management DB 30 (step S144). Next, the introducer is checked (step S145), and if it is a self-introduction, the present process is terminated (step S148). If it is not a self-introduction, a transfer instruction as reward providing information for instructing the introducer specified by the introducer's principal ID 8a to transfer a referral fee as a reward is output to a settlement device (not shown) (step S146), an e-mail in which the information to that effect is recorded is transmitted to the contact e-mail address of the introducer (step S147), and this processing is ended (step S148).
[0063]
The reward providing process 23 is a process of providing a reward to the introducer of the user when the user has performed a predetermined commercial transaction, and is executed when a predetermined notification indicating that the user has performed the predetermined commercial transaction is received. It has become so. As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 8, the reward providing process 23 is executed when a notification that the user has performed a predetermined commercial transaction is received from the affiliated commercial transaction device or the like. First, the user ID 8 and the commercial transaction included in the notification are notified. Information is input (step S161). Next, a record including the notified user ID 8 is searched from the user ID management DB 30 (step S162). The search result is checked (step S163), and if no record including the user ID 8 is found, the present process is terminated (step S168). When the record is found, it is checked whether the commercial transaction information is information on a predetermined commercial transaction to be rewarded (step S164), and if not, the process is terminated (step S168). If the transaction is a predetermined transaction, the introducer ID 8b included in the user ID 8 is checked (step S165), and if the transaction is a self-introduction, the process is terminated (step S168). If it is not a self-introduction, a transfer instruction as reward providing information for instructing the introducer specified by the introducer's principal ID 8a to transfer a referral fee as a reward is output to a settlement device (not shown) (step S166), an e-mail in which the information to that effect is recorded is transmitted to the contact e-mail address of the introducer (step S167), and the process is terminated (step S168).
[0064]
Next, a series of operation examples of the user management device 1 configured as described above will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. First, the first operation example is an example in which a user registration guide is automatically issued to a referee by the user management device 1 (see FIG. 9). First, when the introducer connects to the user management apparatus 1 by the introducer terminal 2 and opens a Web page for introduction (A101), the user management apparatus 1 executes an introduction reception process 20 and introduces the information from the introducer terminal 2. A user's user ID 8 and password are entered (A102), introduction information is entered (A103), and designation of a guidance method is also entered (A104). In this example, assuming that automatic guidance is designated as the guidance method, the user management device 1 sends an e-mail including access information and registration guidance information to the contact e-mail address of the referee included in the introduction information. (A105), and the introduction receiving process 20 ends. The referee receives the e-mail at the referee terminal 3 and accesses the user management device 1 using the access information (A106). Then, the user management device 1 executes the registration receiving process 22, inputs the user registration information from the referral terminal 3 (A107), and sends an e-mail including the user ID 8 to the contact e-mail address of the referee. It transmits (A108). Then, the user management device 1 outputs a transfer instruction for transferring a referral fee to a settlement device (not shown), and sends an e-mail in which information to that effect is recorded to a contact e-mail address of the introducer. The registration is transmitted (A109), and the registration receiving process 22 ends.
[0065]
The second operation example is an example in which an introducer issues a user registration guide to a referee (see FIG. 10). Steps A101 to A103 are the same as those in the first operation example, but in this example, it is assumed that when the designation of the guidance method is input (A104a), the introduction of the guidance is designated. Then, the user management device 1 transmits an e-mail including the access information and the registration guide information to the contact e-mail address of the introducer (A105a). Then, the introducer sends an e-mail including the access information and the registration guide information to the contact e-mail address of the referee (A105b). Subsequent steps after A106 are the same as those in the first operation example.

The fourth operation example is an example in which a user as a referee conducts a commercial transaction (see FIG. 12). First, when the introducer connects to a predetermined commercial transaction device 4 that cooperates with the user management device 1 (A301), inputs a user ID 8 (A302), and conducts a commercial transaction (A303), the commercial transaction device 4 And the commercial transaction information to the user management device 1 (A304). Then, the user management device 1 executes a reward providing process 23, outputs a transfer instruction for transferring a referral fee to a settlement device (not shown), and transmits an e-mail in which information to that effect is recorded to the introducer. (A305), and the reward providing process 23 ends.
[0068]
According to the present invention configured as described above, the access information for accessing the registration window for the referee to be registered is associated with the personal ID 8a unique to the user who is the introducer, and will be described later. When a referral accesses the registration window using the access information and inputs user registration information for user registration, the introducer can be specified without fail. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate human errors and operations when specifying the introducer, and it is possible to eliminate human troubles caused by these errors and operations.
[0069]
Further, when the referral is self-introduction, the referee is configured to input self-introduction information, and the access information is self-introduction instead of the introducer's own ID 8a. Is configured to be associated with a predetermined ID indicating that the user can be registered even when there is no introducer.
[0070]
When the referral accesses the registration window using the access information and inputs user registration information for user registration, the referrer is identified, and the introducer's principal ID 8a is entered into the referee. Of the user ID 8. Thus, the introducer can be specified by the user ID 8 of the introduced person.
[0071]
Further, when the user registration information is input, there is provided means for outputting reward providing information for providing a reward to the introducer specified by the introducer's principal ID 8a associated with the access information. A reward can be reliably provided to the actual introducer of the referee.
[0072]
The present invention also provides a storage means for storing registration information of each user in association with a user ID 8 including a unique ID 8a unique to the user himself and a unique introducer ID 8b unique to the introducer who introduced the user. In this case, there is provided a means for inputting the user's own ID 8 and a means for outputting reward providing information for providing a reward to the introducer specified by the introducer ID 8b included in the user ID 8, so that the user can perform commercial transactions. Then, thanks to the introducer ID 8b included in the user ID 8, a reward can be reliably provided to the introducer of the user.
[0073]
