The operation input unit 16 is an input device such as a touch panel, a keyboard, or a mouse, and is used when selecting content to be posted.

  The content management server 30 is a computer that includes a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, a bus that connects these, and the like, and includes a plurality of databases (DB) to be described later. By executing the arithmetic processing, the content posted from the content posting device 10 is collected and managed, and information on the number of possible content postings is updated for each user of the system.

  The content management server 30 includes a communication unit 31, a usage history database (DB) 32, a content DB 33, a postable number DB 34, and a control unit 35. The communication unit 31 receives the content posted from the content posting device 10 and the data of the IC card information, and sends the postable number and price data to the content posting device 10.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the usage history DB 32 records a history of shopping or boarding using an IC card, and user ID, usage location ID, usage amount, and usage time data are: It is recorded in association with the history ID. Further, in the usage history DB 32, an unprocessed flag indicating that the usage history is not used is associated with the history ID in the process of determining the number of postable contents based on the usage history described later. To be recorded. In the figure, when the “unprocessed” column is “0”, it indicates that the usage history has already been used, and when the “unprocessed” column is “1”, the usage history indicates the number of possible content postings. Indicates that it is not used in the process of determining.

  In the example of FIG. 2, the history ID “0001” is a place corresponding to the use place ID “135” (for example, public transportation) by the user corresponding to the user ID “00100” at 10:15. This shows that 1250 yen has been paid using the IC card 12a, and that this usage history has been used in the process of determining the number of content contributions possible.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the content DB 33 stores content posted by a user via the content posting device 10, content data indicating the content, content of user ID that posted the content, and Is recorded in association with the content ID. In the example of FIG. 3, the content data “aaa.jpg” corresponding to the content ID “0001” is posted by the user with the user ID “00100”.

  As shown in FIG. 4, postable number information indicating the number of contents that can be posted from the content posting device 10 is recorded in the postable number DB 34 in association with the user ID. This postable number information is read when content is selected in the content posting device 10. In the example of FIG. 4, the user with the user ID “00100” can post 40 contents.

  In FIG. 1, the control unit 35 is for processing various data or performing input / output control in the content management server 30, and includes a content acquisition unit 37, an IC card acquisition unit 38, a postable number determination unit 39, and a counter. A price calculation unit 40 is provided.

  The content acquisition unit 37 temporarily stores the content transmitted from the content posting device 10 via the communication unit 31 and records the content in the content DB 33 in association with the user ID. In addition, the content acquisition unit 37 counts the number of posted content and transmits the counted content to the price calculation unit 40.

  The IC card information acquisition unit 38 acquires user ID information and usage history information recorded on the user's IC card 12a and temporarily stores them. The IC card information acquisition unit 38 updates the usage history DB by recording the acquired usage history information in the usage history DB 32 in association with the history ID.

  The postable number determining unit 39 reads the postable number information corresponding to the user ID from the postable number DB 34 and temporarily stores it. The postable number determining unit 39 reads the usage history information corresponding to the user ID (limited to the history information whose unprocessed flag is “1”) from the usage history DB 32 and sets the sum of the usage amounts to a predetermined value (for example, 500). By calculating the value divided by), the number of additional posts that can be given as a consideration for using the IC card is calculated. The postable number determination unit 39 updates the postable number DB 34 by adding the additional postable number to the postable number. Further, the postable number determination unit 39 updates the postable number DB 34 by subtracting the number of posted contents from the postable number.

  Based on the posted content number information sent from the content acquisition unit 37, the consideration calculation unit 40 calculates an additional amount of electronic money as a consideration for content posting, and acquires the consideration information. For example, a value obtained by multiplying the number of posted contents by 10 can be determined as the price. The price calculation unit 40 sends the price information obtained by the calculation to the content posting device 10.

  Next, the operation of the content collection system configured as described above will be described using the flowchart of FIG. First, when the IC card 12a is set in the IC card R / W 13 of the content posting device 10, the IC card information acquisition unit 18 displays the user ID, electronic money balance and usage history information recorded on the IC card. Read (S11). And the control part 14 transmits user ID information to the content management server 30 via the communication part 11 (S12).

  In the content management server 30, the user ID information is temporarily stored in the IC card information acquisition unit 38. Then, the postable number determination unit 39 extracts a usage history (the unprocessed flag is “1”) corresponding to the user ID (S13). Then, the postable number determination unit 38 calculates the additional postable number by dividing the sum of the usage amount corresponding to the extracted use history by a predetermined value, and adds this to the postable number, thereby adding the post The possible posting number information in the possible number DB 34 is updated (S14).

  When the postable number information is updated, the postable number determination unit 39 sets all the unprocessed flags corresponding to the history ID used for calculating the additional postable number to “0” (S15). Thereby, it is possible to eliminate the possibility that the usage history information used for calculating the number of additional postings can be used again.

  The updated postable number information is transmitted to the content posting apparatus 10 via the communication unit 31 (S16). In the content posting device 10 that has received the postable number information, the control unit 14 reads out the content recorded on a medium (not shown) from the media reader 13, performs thumbnailing processing on the content that is an image, And the postable number information are sent to the display unit 15. The display unit 15 displays a content selection screen for prompting the user to select content to be posted in accordance with a program in a ROM (not shown) (S17).

  FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a content selection screen. On the content selection screen, information indicating the number of posts that can be posted is displayed together with the thumbnailed content images 61a to 61b. In the example of FIG. 6, “5” is displayed. This indicates that the upper limit of the number of contents that can be posted by the user is five.

  The user operates the operation input unit 16 to select content to be posted (S18). When the content is selected, the selected content is highlighted and the number of possible postings displayed on the display unit 15 is reduced. When the “OK” button in the screen is operated after the content is selected, the content acquisition unit 17 reads the selected content from the media reader 13 or the memory (not shown) in the content posting device 10, and the user ID is read in this. The contents are transmitted to the content management server 30 in association with each other. Thereby, the content is posted (S19).

  If the possible number of postings becomes 0 during content selection, a warning message “Content cannot be selected!” Is displayed as shown in FIG. 8, and subsequent content selection is rejected. As a result, unnecessary content posting by the user can be suppressed. Alternatively, the content acquisition unit 17 may be configured not to read the content selected after the postable number reaches 0.

  When the content is posted, the content acquisition unit 37 of the content management server 30 temporarily stores the posted content and records it in the content DB 33 in association with the user ID (S20). As a result, the content is updated. Then, the content acquisition unit 37 counts the number of posted content and sends it to the price calculation unit 40 as posted content number information. Alternatively, the posted content number information may be transmitted from the content posting device 10 to the content management server 30.

  The postable number determination unit 39 reads the postable number information corresponding to the user ID from the postable number DB 34 and subtracts only the number of posted contents, and records the subtraction result in the postable number DB 34 to thereby post the post. The possible number information is updated (S21).

  Next, the price calculation unit 40 acquires price information indicating the price of the content posting by multiplying the number of posted content by 10 (S22). The calculated price information is transmitted to the content posting device 10 via the communication unit 31 (S23). The card balance processing unit 20 of the content posting device 10 updates the electronic money balance by adding a price to the electronic money balance of the IC card 12a (S24).

  When the processing of the additional charge amount is completed, as shown in FIG. 8, a post end screen indicating that the content has been posted and the additional charge has been completed is displayed on the display unit 15 (S25). In the example of FIG. 11, it is shown that a charge of 250 yen is added by content posting, and the remaining electronic money of the IC card is 5250 yen. As a result, an amount of electronic money corresponding to the number of posted content is given as a price for posting the content, so that the user can be given an incentive to post the content.

  And by setting the number of posts that can be posted, which indicates the number of content that can be posted, for each user, the same content will not be repeatedly posted for the purpose of acquiring the price. Unnecessary content can be prevented from increasing.

  Furthermore, since the number of contents that can be posted is increased in accordance with the usage amount of the IC card, a user who wants to post content uses the IC card. Therefore, the use promotion of the IC card can be promoted.

  In the above embodiment, the number of additional postings is calculated based only on the usage amount information among the usage history information of the IC card. However, usage location ID and usage time information can also be used. For example, when the usage place ID matches a predetermined value, the calculation condition may be set so that the number of additional postings is five times the normal number, thereby enabling the use of the IC card in the predetermined place / region. Can be promoted.

  In addition, when the usage time of the IC card is between 12:00 and 14:00, the calculation condition can be set so that the number of additional postings can be doubled as usual. The use of cards can be promoted.

  In the above embodiment, the content management server 30 calculates the number of additional posts that can be posted based on the IC card usage history information. However, the postable number information acquisition unit 19 of the content posting device 10 records it on the IC card 12a. The number of additional postings may be calculated based on the usage history information. Further, the card balance processing unit 20 calculates a value obtained by multiplying the number of posted contents by 10 as a consideration, and adds the consideration to the electronic money balance of the IC card 12a, thereby updating the electronic money balance. good.

  In the above embodiment, the balance of electronic money is increased as consideration for posting content. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, points unique to IC card business operators are given as consideration for posting content. May be. Thus, for example, points obtained by posting content can be used in transportation facilities or stores that are affiliated with IC card providers, so that the use of IC cards by users can be promoted.

  Further, in the example shown in FIG. 9, the public transportation facility 70 that is affiliated with the content collection system provider includes an IC card information acquisition unit 71 similar to that provided in the content posting device 10. A user of the public transportation 70 can receive a settlement by using the points stored in the IC card 12a by setting the IC card 12a in the IC card information acquisition unit 71. Of course, it is also possible to make payment using electronic money.

  When the IC card 12a is set, the IC card information acquisition unit 71 reads the user ID and usage history information. These pieces of information are sent to the content management server 30 via the communication network 60, and the usage history DB 32 is updated. In FIG. 9, public transportation has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, IC card information may be stored in restaurants, souvenir shops, etc. that are affiliated with content collection system operators. An acquisition unit 71 may be provided.

  In the above embodiment, all posted content is recorded in the content DB 33, but when the same content as the content already recorded in the content DB 33 is posted, the posted content is deleted in the content acquisition unit 37. May be. Thereby, it is possible to prevent unnecessary content from being recorded in the content DB 33. As a method of detecting whether or not the content is the same, a known method such as a method of comparing feature points determined in advance for each content type (image, sound), a method of comparing header information of the content, or the like is used. Can be applied.

  In the above embodiment, the number of additional posts that can be made is determined according to the use history regardless of the time when the IC card is used, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, only the IC card usage history for the most recent fixed period (one month) or a specific period may be read from the usage history DB 32 and the postable number may be calculated only when this exceeds a predetermined value. Then, the postable number may be set to 0 after a certain period (for example, January) has elapsed. Thereby, according to the use of the IC card, it is possible to implement a campaign that enables posting of content for a certain period of time, and it is possible to promote the use of the IC card and the posting of content.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the second embodiment, the additional charge amount to the IC card is determined based on the evaluation information of the posted content given by the user, the content provider, or the like.

  FIG. 10 shows the configuration of the content management server 80 according to the second embodiment. In order to input an evaluation value for the posted content, the content management server 80 includes an evaluation value acquisition unit 81 and a content DB 82. In FIG. 10, the same components as those described in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  The evaluation value acquisition unit 81 is provided in the control unit 83 and acquires five-stage evaluation values for the content stored in the content DB 82. This evaluation value is input by the content user or the content management server operator via the communication network 50.

  As shown in FIG. 11, in the content DB 82, in addition to the user ID and the content data, the evaluation average value, the evaluation number of people, and the value for the content are recorded in association with the content ID. In the example of FIG. 11, the average value of the five-level evaluation for the content is recorded in the content DB 82 as the evaluation average value.

  The control unit 83 includes a price calculation unit 84 for determining an additional charge amount based on the average evaluation value. The price calculation unit 84 updates the evaluation average value based on the five-level evaluation information from the evaluation value acquisition unit 81 and the corresponding evaluation average value and information on the number of evaluation persons in the content DB 82.

  For example, in the example of FIG. 11, when evaluation information “4” is given to the content corresponding to the content ID “0001” by the database user, the updated average evaluation value for the content is ( 2.0 × 3 + 4) /4=2.5.

The charge amount calculation unit 84 calculates the price of electronic money for the content for which the average evaluation value of the content has been updated based on the following equation.
Consideration value = MAX [(Evaluation value-3), 0] * 10

  For example, in the example of FIG. 11, the evaluation value for the content with the content ID “0001” is 2.0, which is smaller than 3, so the consideration is 0. Further, since the evaluation value for the content with the content ID “0002” is 4.0, the consideration is 10 yen.

  The content collection system according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. Database users and business operators connect to the content management server 80 from an information processing terminal such as a personal computer via the communication network 50, read the content from the content DB 82, and browse it. Then, the user and the business operator input five-level evaluation information for the browsed content (S31).

  When the evaluation information is input, the evaluation value acquisition unit 81 of the content management server 80 reads out the evaluation average value and the evaluation number information corresponding to the browsed content, calculates a new evaluation average value, and the content DB 81 The corresponding evaluation average value is updated (S32).

  Next, the price calculation unit 84 calculates the price for the content based on the updated evaluation average value, and records the obtained value in the corresponding part of the content DB 81 to update the price. Perform (S33).

  When the user of the content posting device 10 sets the IC card 12a in the IC card R / W, the menu screen shown in FIG. 13 is displayed on the display unit 15 (S34). On this menu screen, a “content posting” button 85 for posting content and an “additional charging” button 86 for additional charging to the IC card are displayed. Here, when the “content posting” button is operated, content posting processing is performed according to the sequence shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, when the “additional charge” button 86 is operated (S35), the user ID data is transmitted from the content posting apparatus 10 to the content management server 80 (S36). Then, the price calculation unit 84 acquires the additional charge amount information of all the contents corresponding to the user ID from the content DB 82, and acquires the additional charge amount by calculating the sum of the price (S37). ). The additional charge amount information is sent to the content posting device 10 via the communication network 50 (S38).

  Next, the card balance processing unit 20 of the content posting apparatus 10 adds the total amount of additional charges received from the content management server 80 to the electronic money balance information recorded on the IC card, and updates the electronic money balance (S39). . Then, an additional charge completion notification indicating that the additional charge has been completed is transmitted from the content posting device 10 to the content management server 80 (S40). The value calculation unit 84 of the content management server 80 accesses the content DB 82 and resets all evaluation average values, evaluation persons, and value information corresponding to the user ID (S41). As a result, it is possible to eliminate the possibility that the evaluation information used for calculating the price will be used again.

  When the evaluation value, the evaluation person number, and the value information are reset, the content management server 80 transmits a reset completion notification to the content posting device 10 (S42). Then, as shown in FIG. 14, the content posting apparatus 10 displays an additional charge notification screen indicating the additional charge amount and the electronic money balance together with a message indicating that the additional charge has been completed (S43).

  In the example of FIG. 14, it is displayed that the additional charge amount based on the content evaluation value is 150 yen, and the electronic money balance in the IC card has increased to 2150 yen. As a result, the consideration varies depending on the evaluation of the posted content, so users who want to pay will post high-quality content, and as a result, operators must collect high-quality content. Can do.

  In the second embodiment, the additional charge amount is determined according to the average evaluation value for the posted content. However, the number of postable content items may be added according to the average evaluation value (FIG. 15). The added value of the postable number can be determined based on the same calculation as that for calculating the price.

  In the second embodiment, the electronic money balance is increased as consideration according to the evaluation value of the posted content. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, points unique to IC card business operators are provided. You may give as consideration.
