The portable terminal is denoted as 2b, and the same shall apply hereinafter. The portable terminal 2 corresponds to a “terminal device” described in the claims.

  Reference numeral 3 denotes a management server owned by a company acting as a user questionnaire (hereinafter referred to as “α company”). Reference numeral 4 denotes a company server owned by a company requesting the above-mentioned α company to perform a questionnaire. Since there are a plurality of companies (for example, the β company, the γ company,...) That request the α company to act as a substitute for the questionnaire, there are also a plurality of company servers 4.

  Therefore, for example, the company server 4a and the company server 4b that are owned by the company β are referred to as the company server 4a and the company server 4b, respectively. These portable terminals 2 (2a, 2b,...) And the servers 3, 4 (4a, 4b,...) Are connected via a communication network 5. The management server 3 corresponds to a “management device” described in the claims.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 2, the internal electrical configuration of the portable terminal 2 and the servers 3 and 4 will be described individually. First, the mobile terminal 2 will be described. The mobile terminal 2 is, for example, a general-purpose mobile phone, a smartphone, or the like, and includes a CPU 20, an input unit 21 connected to the CPU 20, a storage unit 22 connected to the CPU 20, and a display unit connected to the CPU 20. 23 and a transmission / reception unit 24 connected to the CPU 20 (see FIG. 2A).

  The CPU 20 has an arithmetic processing function capable of executing various arithmetic processes. The input unit 21 is an input key that can be input by the user. The storage unit 22 has a storage function capable of storing various types of information. The display unit 23 has a display function capable of displaying various types of information. The transmission / reception unit 24 has a transmission / reception function capable of transmitting / receiving various types of information to / from the communication network 5.

  Next, the management server 3 will be described. The management server 3 is, for example, a general-purpose personal computer, and includes a CPU 30, an input unit 31 connected to the CPU 30, a storage unit 32 connected to the CPU 30, a display unit 33 connected to the CPU 30, It is comprised from the transmission / reception part 34 connected with CPU30 (refer FIG. 2 (B)).

  The CPU 30 has an arithmetic processing function capable of executing various arithmetic processes. The input unit 31 is an input key that can be input by a server administrator of company α. The storage unit 32 has a storage function capable of storing various types of information. The display unit 33 has a display function capable of displaying various types of information. The transmission / reception unit 34 has a transmission / reception function capable of transmitting / receiving various types of information to / from the communication network 5.

  Next, the company server 4 will be described. The company server 4 is, for example, a general-purpose personal computer, and includes a CPU 40, an input unit 41 connected to the CPU 40, a storage unit 42 connected to the CPU 40, a display unit 43 connected to the CPU 40, It is comprised from the transmission / reception part 44 connected with CPU40 (refer FIG.2 (C)).

  The CPU 40 has an arithmetic processing function capable of executing various arithmetic processes. The input unit 41 is an input key that can be input by a server administrator of β company. The storage unit 42 has a storage function capable of storing various types of information. The display unit 43 has a display function capable of displaying various types of information. The transmission / reception unit 44 has a transmission / reception function capable of transmitting / receiving various types of information to / from the communication network 5.

  Then, with reference to FIGS. 3-6, operation | movement of the questionnaire system 1 mentioned above is demonstrated. As an explanation example of this operation, an example will be described in which a questionnaire of “recognition survey of new menu for curry lovers” is conducted for users “male curry enthusiasts 20 to 30 years old”. . Therefore, this “gyudonya” corresponds to “β company”. The questionnaire system 1 operates after the user completes the avatar registration. Therefore, in describing the operation of the questionnaire system 1, the user avatar registration procedure will be described.

  First, the user accesses a predetermined site stored in the management server 3 from the mobile terminal 2 owned by the user and downloads a predetermined application. Next, the user registers an avatar on the downloaded application. The avatar mentioned here is a character displayed as a user's alternation in a virtual space such as on this application. Thereby, a user's character is registered as an avatar (refer FIG. 3).

  In addition, when registering, it is set not by the conventional questionnaire format but by controlling its own avatar and acting. For example, if you are walking in the city, there is a public bath, and you can select and enter a men's and women's bath. Thereby, it is determined whether the avatar is registered as a man or a woman. Furthermore, in order to create an avatar that resembles myself, the behavior pattern “a certain setting” that everyone is experiencing is performed.

  This “certain setting” means that familiar situations that have been experienced in daily life are converted into data, expressed in avatar behavior patterns in several situations, and actually experienced by myself It feels sympathetic when you look at a certain action, and it gives you the illusion that it looks like you. For example, there are things that make you happy, and if you are jumping a little, your little toe hits the corner of the chiffon, and you are struck by too much pain.

  This kind of situation that everyone is experiencing is used for a character that has a lot of points in a certain psychological test based on blood types, constellations, and psychological tests. "A certain setting" is always performed in the behavior test when the avatar is moving and acting. When the response changes greatly from the previous data, the ratio of the data is calculated, and a certain setting changes for the first time when the ratio exceeds half (determined that the preference of the first user has changed). Other than that, certain content changes as the age of the avatar changes.

  Further, when the avatar grows by a growth game described later, a new action pattern is added. Furthermore, with the characteristic “there is a memorable event” setting, it is possible to increase the familiarity with the avatar. Examples of the events of this memory include fractures, hospitalizations, bicycles, accidents, lovers, fights, and homework. The procedure for avatar registration is performed in this way.

  Next, the user plays a game for growing the registered avatar. This game is said to be a growth game, where the user's own background is entered and the whole life is experienced in a few months. Users can nostalgic past events and enjoy the changes they have with themselves. You can see what you are doing in real time, and when you participate in an event (when answering a questionnaire), you can operate to clear the minigame. Moreover, the event can be confirmed as a diary.

  When registering an avatar, you can enter a specific school name and event as much as possible, and you can realize a natural action program by “a certain setting”. In this growth game, registered avatars perform their daily lives according to their behavior patterns. For example, it falls or falls into the river. The growth time can be changed from one hour to one day. The start can be set by the user himself.

  Even if an avatar is left unattended, the avatar grows every day, but sometimes it can be ridiculous. For example, if the avatar's self-reliance point is high, the avatar may quit school or become an entertainer.

  Basically, a certain psychological test is performed when an avatar is registered, and the avatar's personality, behavior pattern, and future are expressed by replacing the psychological test, fortune-telling, blood type, name, etc. with a certain behavior pattern. However, since changes in avatars can be considered, it is performed again once a year and reflected. Do not ask questions such as how many years to start in order to find out the actual age. For example, how many years ago do you start? I am trying to find my real age in this form. The avatar grows by playing this growth game.

  The process of growth of avatars growing through this growth game can be seen in "A Diary". In this "A Certain Diary", the avatar's daily behavior is automatically summarized and can be viewed happily with a video of a certain behavior event. Even if the avatar operates the character, it is added and the diary is completed. If there is a setting with a memorable event, it is registered in the diary and can be introduced with a video.

  In addition, you can experience future events in "a certain setting" and "growth game". For example, if you eat everyday or smoke, you will have a faster lifespan. Even if you have a lot of points, even if you are an adult, if you have a traffic accident in your memories, it suits an accident (including those who have made unfair registrations). Half of everyday life is about health. Hospital becomes everyday. An example of an old diary, “I noticed that my friend, Mr. Suzuki, did not come to the hospital today. An example of an old diary, “Today, when I got on the bus for the first time in a long time, my driver told me“ from behind, from behind ”and when I got on, I got a strange face. Avatar registration is performed in this way.

  In this example, when user A's avatar registration is performed, user A's avatar belongs to the subcategory “I love beef curry” in the main category “favorite menu” and is called “sex”. It belongs to the subcategory “male” of the main category, belongs to the subcategory “25 years” of the main category “age”, and belongs to the subcategory “majime” of the main category “personality” To do.

  Similarly, when user B's avatar registration is performed, user B's avatar belongs to the subcategory “gyudonya curry enthusiast” in the main category “favorite menu” and the main “sex” It belongs to the category “Women”, belongs to the subcategory “35 years” of the main category “Age”, and belongs to the subcategory “Majime” of the main category “Personality” (See FIG. 4).

  In FIG. 3, a series of operations surrounded by a broken line is referred to as a questionnaire game. Similarly, a series of operations surrounded by a one-dot chain line is referred to as a questionnaire game system. Similarly, a series of operations surrounded by a two-dot chain line is referred to as a target questionnaire system.

  As described above, when registration of avatars is completed for a plurality of users (user A, user B,...), The company β will instruct the company α to “new menu for beef bowlers who like curry. The user is asked to perform a questionnaire of “recognition survey of” (see FIG. 5). That is, the company server 4 of the company β requests the management server 3 of the company α to that effect. Upon receiving this request, the management server 3 performs an operation of selecting users who satisfy the questionnaire conditions.

  This selection is made based on the subcategory to which the avatar belongs. Therefore, the management server 3 selects users belonging to the subcategory “curry enthusiast” in the main category “favorite menu”. Similarly, the management server 3 selects users belonging to the subcategory “male” in the main category “sex”. Similarly, the management server 3 selects users belonging to the subcategory “20 to 30 years old” in the main category “age”. That is, the management server 3 selects users that match all three sub-categories.

  Then, only the user A is selected (the user B is not selected), so the management server 3 transmits an event game to the selected user A. In this event game, a situation such as “An Indian appears and talks to an avatar” appears. And the Indians show me a picture, "I really want to eat this curry. Here, "this curry" is a new menu.

  Here, when the user A replies “I know”, a situation in which an Indian asks me to “take me to the store as it is” appears. On the other hand, when user A answers “I don't know”, a situation appears in which Indians are asked to “look for the store together”. These answers are sent from the management server 3 to the company server 4. Thereby, the company server 4 can know the recognition degree of a new menu. After these situations have appeared, various questionnaires have also appeared, and there are obstacles along the way, but we will overcome them and aim for the goal together.

  When aiming at a goal in this way, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, there may be a questionnaire with selection. This questionnaire is to answer which topping 50 of the five toppings (materials added to the curry) 50 is favorite. These five toppings 50 are, for example, sausage 51, egg 52, tonkatsu 53, seafood 54, and vegetable 55. These five toppings 50 are respectively associated with doors 60 (61, 62, 63, 64, 65) from which avatars can be selected. For example, in FIG. 6, when the left door 61 is selected and an avatar enters, the avatar looks like the sausage 51 is selected. As described above, when the user makes a selection through the avatar's action (the action of selecting and entering the door 60), a highly credible questionnaire result can be obtained. In this way, by inserting an avatar action (an action in which the avatar selects and enters the door 60), it is possible to have fun, and as a result, the user is prevented from answering appropriately. it can.

  The questionnaire system 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is configured as described above. According to this configuration, the mobile terminal 2 a can create an avatar that the user A is associated with the management server 3. This avatar has a plurality of sub-categories (for example, “gyudoniyano” of the avatar) whose user information belongs to the main category (for example, “favorite menu”, “sex”, “age”, “personality”, etc.). “Curry enthusiast”, “male”, “25 years old”, “serious”, etc.). The questionnaire sent from the management server 3 to the portable terminal 2 based on the request from the company server 4 is classified into an arbitrary subcategory (for example, “curry enthusiast”, “male”, “20 to 30 years old”, etc.). Only sent to the mobile terminal 2a of the classified avatar. When sent in this way, the user A is dressed up to answer the questionnaire through his / her avatar. Therefore, compared with the appearance that the user A answers the questionnaire directly, the alertness of the user A to the questionnaire can be suppressed. Therefore, a highly reliable questionnaire result can be obtained.

  Moreover, according to this structure, the personality, action pattern, etc. of the user who implemented the growth game are reflected in the grown avatar. Therefore, since the avatar which grew up becomes a user's alternation, if a questionnaire is answered via an avatar, the credibility of a questionnaire result can be improved more.

The contents described above are only related to one embodiment of the present invention, and do not mean that the present invention is limited to the above contents.
In the example, the form of the questionnaire of “Recognition survey of new menu for beef bowlers who like curry” was explained. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be related to “game machine” and / or “game hall (pachinko shop)”. In that case, the manufacturer of the gaming machine and / or the gaming hall can know the voice of the user with high credibility.

  In addition, it is possible that generations with different consumption trends can be converted into data based on past data and hit products of the era. Using this data, it is possible to create consumption behavior patterns by age group. For example, as an example of keywords for the anime generation of 1967, current product development information in the forties can be derived from anime, special effects, toys, school lunches, idols, fan clubs, etc., and proposed to companies. Build generational candy shops and derive interesting data. Specific examples of product proposals include a superalloy anime robot reprint, an idol CD reprint, and a lunch experience restaurant.

  In addition, basic data is collected over time during the growth game, categorized and provided. In the case of more specific information collection, information such as whether or not to participate in the event can be collected in real time according to the event format and the opening notification of the store or facility. In that case, real-time aggregation software development will be performed at the same time, and the know-how for instantly dividing into several categories will be a feature.
