In the first embodiment, a case where a plurality of users use one terminal is not considered. That is, the user is specific to the terminal, and the terminal and the user have a one-to-one correspondence.

<Terminals 21 and 22>
The first terminal 21 and the second terminal 22 (sometimes collectively referred to as terminals) are terminals owned, used, or managed by a user (user), for example, a mobile phone, a personal computer, a smartphone, A tablet terminal or the like is applicable. Each of the terminals 21 and 22 includes an arithmetic processing device and a memory, and includes a display screen. The terminals 21 and 22 preferably have input means such as a keyboard, and the keyboard may be a software keyboard. The terminals 21 and 22 are directly or indirectly connected to the Internet W, and can communicate with the determination device 4, the first application server 31, and the second application server 32 via the Internet W.

  In the terminal 21, a first application (first application program) Ap1 is stored. When the first application is used on the terminal 21, the first information F <b> 1 is transmitted to the first application server 31. The first information F1 is information indicating the usage status of the first application Ap1 in the first terminal 21. For example, based on the use of the first application Ap1, the first position information L1 and the first use time information T1 may be transmitted to the first application server 31 as the first information F1.

  The first position information L1 is position information of the first terminal 21 when the first application Ap1 is used. The first use time information T1 is time information when the first application Ap1 is used in the first terminal 21. Typically, the time information may be information on the use start time of the first application Ap1 or the use end time. The first information F1 may be ID information and IP address information for each user (that is, for each terminal), for example. The first information F1 may be personal information (gender, age, address, etc.) or biometric information (face recognition image information, voice recognition information, fingerprint information, etc.) for each user.

  In the terminal 22, a second application (second application program) Ap2 is stored. When the first application is used on the terminal 22, the second information F <b> 2 is transmitted to the second application server 32. The second information F2 is information indicating the usage status of the second application Ap2 in the second terminal 22. For example, based on the use of the second application Ap2, the second position information L2 and the second use time information T2 may be transmitted to the second application server 32 as the second information F2.

  The second position information L2 is position information of the second terminal 22 when the second application Ap2 is used. The second use time information T2 is time information when the second application Ap2 is used in the second terminal 22. Typically, the time information may be information on the use start time of the second application Ap2, or may be the use end time. The second information F2 may be, for example, ID information or IP address information for each user (that is, for each terminal). The second information F2 may be personal information (gender, age, address, etc.) or biometric information (face recognition image information, fingerprint information, etc.) for each user.

<First application server 31 and second application server 32>
The first application server 31 is a server computer that acquires the first information F1 from the first terminal 21 in cooperation with the first application Ap1 in the first terminal 21. The first application server 31 includes a CPU (arithmetic processing device) and a memory (storage device), and stores therein a program that operates in cooperation with the first application Ap1, information transmission / reception, arithmetic processing, information recording, and the like. Demonstrate the function. By using the first application Ap1 in the first terminal 21, various information related to the first information F1 is transmitted from the first application server 31 to the first terminal 21.

  For example, when the first application Ap1 is a restaurant search application, if the first location information L1 as the first information F1 is transmitted from the first terminal 21 toward the first application server 31, the first application server 31 Transmits information on restaurants located in the vicinity to the first terminal 21 in relation to the first position information L1.

  The second application server 32 is a server computer that acquires the second information F2 from the second terminal 22 in cooperation with the second application Ap2 in the second terminal 22. The second application server 32 includes a CPU (arithmetic processing device) and a memory (storage device), and stores therein a program that operates in cooperation with the second application Ap2, information transmission / reception, arithmetic processing, information recording, and the like. Demonstrate the function. By using the second application Ap2 in the second terminal 22, various information related to the second information F2 is transmitted from the second application server 32 to the second terminal 22.

  For example, when the second application Ap2 is a map application, when the second position information L2 as the second information F2 is transmitted from the second terminal 22 to the second application server 32, the second application server 32 The neighboring map information is transmitted to the second terminal 22 in association with the second position information L2.

<Determination device 4>
The discrimination device 4 is a server computer having an internal structure as shown in FIG. The discriminating device 4 has a CPU (arithmetic processing device, main part of computer) 5 and a memory (storage device) 6 inside. A determination program (terminal identity determination program) P is stored in the memory 5. By executing the discrimination program P, the CPU 5 functions as a discrimination system (terminal identity discrimination system).

  The discrimination system has first information acquisition means 5a, second information acquisition means 5b, discrimination means 5c, and enabling means 5d. That is, by executing the determination program P, the CPU 5 functions as the first information acquisition unit 5a, the second information acquisition unit 5b, the determination unit 5c, and the enabling unit 5d. Each function will be described below.

<First information acquisition means 5a>
The first information acquisition unit 5a has a function of acquiring first information F1 indicating the usage status of the first application Ap1 in the first terminal 21. In the first embodiment, the first information acquisition unit 5a acquires the first position information L1 and the first use time information T1 as the first information F1 from the first application server 31.

  Of course, the 1st information acquisition means 5a may acquire the 1st information F1 directly from the 1st terminal 21, or acquires the 1st information F1 from another server computer different from the 1st application server 31. There may be. The first information F1 may be user ID information, IP address information, personal information, and biological information.

<Second Information Acquisition Unit 5b>
The second information acquisition unit 5b has a function of acquiring second information F2 indicating the usage status of the first application Ap2 in the second terminal 22. In the first embodiment, the second information acquisition unit 5b acquires the second position information L2 and the second use time information T2 as the second information F2 from the second application server 32.

  Of course, the 2nd information acquisition means 5b may acquire the 2nd information F2 directly from the 2nd terminal 22, or acquires the 2nd information F2 from another server computer different from the 2nd application server 32. There may be. The second information F2 may be user ID information, IP address information, personal information, and biological information.

<Determination means 5c>
The determining unit 5c has a function of determining whether or not the first terminal 21 and the second terminal 22 are the same terminal based on the first information F1 and the second information F2. A specific example is shown in FIG. The first position information L1 acquired by the first information acquisition means 5a and the second position information L2 acquired by the second information acquisition means 5b are compared and collated, and the position difference between the position information is calculated. The position difference is represented by, for example, “first position information L1−second position information L2”. When the position difference is calculated based on the latitude information and the longitude information of both position information, the position difference is calculated using the first position information L1 (ie, the position of the first terminal 21) and the second position information L2 (ie, the second terminal 22). Equivalent to the position).

  When the position difference is equal to or smaller than the predetermined value Lc, that is, when the first terminal 21 and the second terminal 22 are close to each other within a distance within the predetermined value Lc, the determination unit 5c It is determined that the two terminals 22 are the same terminal. On the other hand, when the position difference is larger than the predetermined value Lc, that is, when the first terminal 21 and the second terminal 22 are separated from each other by a distance farther than the predetermined value Lc, the determination unit 5c It is determined that the terminal 22 is not the same terminal.

  The above “determining that they are the same terminal” includes “not determining that they are not the same terminal”, and “determining that they are not the same terminal” means “not determining that they are the same terminal” Including that. The same applies to the following.

  For example, the other specific example shown in FIG. 4 is also applicable. That is, in addition to the determination based on the position difference, the determination based on the time difference is also performed. The first use time information T1 acquired by the first information acquisition means 5a and the second use time information T2 acquired by the second information acquisition means 5b are compared and collated, and the time difference between the two time information is calculated. The time difference is a time difference represented by “first use time information T1−second use time information T2”, for example.

  For example, the first use time information T1 is information on the use end time of the first application Ap1, the second use time information T2 is the use start time of the second application Ap2, and this time difference is equal to or less than a predetermined value Tc. In some cases, that is, when the use end time of the first app Ap1 by the first terminal 21 and the use start time of the second app Ap2 by the second terminal 22 are a time difference within a predetermined value Tc, the determination unit 5c It is determined that the first terminal 21 and the second terminal 22 are the same terminal. Further, when the difference between the use start times of both terminals 21 is a time difference within a predetermined value Tc, it may be determined that the first terminal 21 and the second terminal 22 are the same terminal. The same determination may be performed whether the first application Ap1 and the second application Ap2 are the same application or different applications, but the former determination is preferable when both applications are the same application. However, when the time difference is 0, it is determined that the first terminal 21 and the second terminal 22 are different terminals (not the same terminal).

  On the other hand, when the time difference is larger than the predetermined value Tc, that is, the time difference between the use end time or the start time of use of the first app Ap1 by the first terminal 21 and the use start time of the second app Ap2 by the second terminal 22 is predetermined. When it is larger than the value Tc, the determination unit 5c determines that the first terminal 21 and the second terminal 22 are not the same terminal. That is, in another specific example shown in FIG. 4, the position of the first terminal 21 and the second terminal 22 is within a distance corresponding to the predetermined value Lc, and the use end time or use of the first application Ap1. When the time difference between the start time and the use start time of the second application Ap2 is not 0 but within the predetermined value Tc, the determination unit 5c determines that the first terminal 21 and the second terminal 22 are the same terminal.

  In addition to such determination using position information and / or time information, the same terminal can be obtained by performing complementary determination using IP address, voice information, etc. as described in the following modification. It may be possible to further increase the determination accuracy of whether or not. For example, if both terminals have the same global IP address, it can be determined that both terminals are likely to be the same terminal. In addition, for example, when the first application Ap1 and the second application Ap2 are applications that involve voice input, the discrimination accuracy can be further improved by collating voice information input by the two applications.

<Available means 5d>
The enabling means 5d, when the determining means 5c determines that the first terminal 21 and the second terminal 22 are the same terminal, attribute information Z1 of the user of the first terminal 21 related to the first application Ap1. In the second application Ap2.

  The attribute information Z1 of the user of the first terminal 21 related to the first application Ap1 is used when using the registration information (age, sex, address, etc.) of the user in the first application Ap1 and the first application Ap1. Input information (such as a search keyword) entered by the person at the first terminal 21. It may be information input by the user when using the first application Ap1, or may be stored in the first application server 31 in advance by registration by the user. The attribute information Z1 may be at least partially in common with the first information F1.

  In the first terminal 21, the attribute information Z1 is used when the first application Ap1 is used. By using the attribute information Z1, it is possible to provide more useful information for the user when using the first application Ap1.

  The attribute information of the user of the second terminal 22 related to the second application Ap2 (however, if the first and second terminals are the same terminal, the user is the same) is not registered or entered. If not, it is not possible to provide more useful information for the user when using the second application Ap2.

  However, the enabling means 5d acquires the attribute information Z1 from the first terminal 21 or the first application server 31, and transmits the attribute information Z1 to the second application server 32, whereby the second application Ap2 or the second application The 2-application server 32 can use the attribute information Z1 as the attribute information Z2 related to the second application Ap2. As a result, even if the attribute information Z2 related to the second application Ap2 is not input or registered in advance, the attribute information Z1 related to the first application Ap1 can be used as the attribute information Z2. This makes it possible to provide information useful to the user when using the first application Ap2.

  For example, the user searches for a nearby French restaurant with a restaurant search application as the first application Ap1. Thereby, attribute information Z1 indicating that the user likes French cuisine is set in the restaurant search application. After the search, the user inputs the address information of the French restaurant obtained by the search into the map application as the second application Ap2.

  When it is determined that the terminal using the restaurant search application and the map application is the same terminal, the attribute information Z1 “French cuisine lover” set in the restaurant search application is used on the map application side. In the map application, for example, a map of the searched French restaurant can be displayed, and the location information and introduction information of the French restaurant around the map can be displayed.

  Next, the operation of the information transmission / reception system S will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  The user activates and uses the first application Ap1 on the first terminal 21 (S1). The first information F1 is transmitted from the first terminal 21 toward the first application server 31 (S2). The user activates and uses the second application Ap2 on the second terminal 22 (S3). The second information F2 is transmitted from the second terminal 22 toward the second application server 32 (S4).

  The determination device 4 acquires the first information F1 from the first terminal 21 or the first application server 31 (S5). The determination device 4 acquires the second information F2 from the second terminal 22 or the second application server 32 (S6). It is confirmed whether the position difference between the first position information L1 and the second position information L2 is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value Lc (S7). When the position difference is larger than the predetermined value Lc, it is determined that the first terminal 21 and the second terminal 22 are different terminals (S8).

  When the position difference is equal to or smaller than the predetermined value Lc (S7), it is confirmed whether or not the time difference between the first usage time information T1 and the second usage time information T2 is equal to or smaller than the predetermined value Tc (S9). When the time difference is larger than the predetermined value Tc, it is determined that the first terminal 21 and the second terminal 22 are different terminals (S8). When the time difference is equal to or less than the predetermined value Tc (S9), it is confirmed whether or not the time difference is 0 (S10). If the time difference is 0, it is determined that the first terminal 21 and the second terminal 22 are different terminals (S8). When the time difference is not 0 (S10), it is determined that the first terminal 21 and the second terminal 22 are the same terminal (S11).

  When it is determined that the first terminal 21 and the second terminal 22 are the same terminal (S11), the determination device 4 obtains the attribute information Z1 related to the first application Ap1 from the first terminal 21 or the first application server 31. Obtain (S12). Then, the determination device 4 transmits the attribute information Z1 to the second application server 32 (S13). The second application server 32 uses the attribute information Z1 as attribute information Z2 related to the second application Ap2 (S14).

  In the second embodiment, the first terminal 21 has a first application Ap1 and a third application (third application program) Ap3. The second terminal 22 has a second application Ap2 and a fourth application (fourth application program) Ap4.

  The first information F1 indicating the usage status of the first application Ap1 and the third information F3 indicating the usage status of the third application Ap3 are transmitted from the first terminal 21 to the first application server 31. The second information F2 indicating the usage status of the second application Ap2 and the fourth information F4 indicating the usage status of the fourth application Ap4 are sent to the second application server 32.

  The first information F1 to the fourth information F4 include use start time information, use end time information, use date information and the like of the first application Ap1 to the fourth application Ap4, respectively. Based on such information, it is possible to determine the identity of the first terminal 21 and the second terminal 22 based on the habitual behavior of the user.

  For example, it is assumed that a certain user uses a specific application for a certain period of time at the same time zone every day (or every day) using a terminal, and subsequently uses another application for another certain period of time. Then, the identity of the user (identity of the terminal) is determined based on information such as the type of application to be used, its use start time, use end time, and from which application to which application is used. be able to.

Here, even if it is determined that the first terminal 21 and the second terminal are the same terminal, the location information of the first terminal 21 when the first application Ap1 is used and the second information when the second application Ap2 is used. If the position difference from the position information of the two terminals 22 is larger than the predetermined value Lc, it may be determined that both terminals are separate terminals.

[Embodiment 3]
FIG. 7 is a data structure diagram of the information database D according to the third embodiment. The information database D is stored in the memory 6 of the determination device 4. The information database D correlates information such as the application name D1 used from many terminals, user registration ID information D2 in the application, application use time D3, location information D4, IP address D5, gender information D6, etc. Has been built. Here, the distribution information D7 can be calculated by obtaining an average variance based on the position information D4. The distribution information D7 is a total of a plurality of acquired position information. For example, when a normal distribution is assumed as the distribution, the average value and the variance (standard deviation) correspond to it. The distribution information D7 does not regard the position information as a point, but can be regarded as spread information. The position information D4 in FIG. 7 is latitude / longitude information. When the average variance between certain times is calculated for the position information D4 of the same application D1 and the same registered ID information D2, for example, FIG. 8 is obtained.

The discriminating apparatus 4 determines, based on a predetermined determination criterion, those having the same user registration ID information, those having similar distribution information, those having the same IP address, etc. Is the same terminal or different terminal. For example, the distribution information may define distances such as the registrant's ID information and IP address, and the terminals having the smallest total distance may be regarded as the same terminal. For example, the following can be considered as the definition of distance. ID information distance: The number of matching items is determined so as to decrease as the number of matching items increases. IP address: 0 if matched, 1 if not matched, etc. Inter-distribution distance: KL (Kullback Leibler) distance, etc.

  In the above-described embodiments and modifications, the determination device is described as an integrated device, and the determination system is described as being provided inside the determination device that is an integrated device. In the above description, the determination system is provided in a device separate from the application server.

  However, the determination device may be a device configured by cooperation of a plurality of devices, and the determination device may be the same device as the application server. Further, in the discrimination system, each means constituting it may be stored separately in a plurality of devices and servers.
