<2. Processing action>
<2.1. Application reception process>
Next, the processing operation of the application reception system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the sequence diagram of FIG. It is assumed that the applicant knows the existence of the campaign and the application telephone number that is the application telephone number through some medium such as television, radio, newspaper, poster, and the Internet. The applicant who wishes to apply for the campaign uses the telephone 10 to transmit the applicant telephone number, which is the telephone number of the telephone 10, and the application telephone number to the conversion server 20 (step S1). Specifically, the applicant first sets to notify the applicant telephone number, and performs an operation of making a call using the public telephone line network 40 to the application destination telephone number. Then, the telephone 10 transmits the applicant telephone number together with the application telephone number to the public telephone line network 40, and the exchange in the public telephone line network 40 connects the line to the conversion server 20 specified by the application telephone number. Connect and send the applicant phone number. Such telephone number notification processing in the public telephone line network 40 is well known and will not be described in detail.

  The conversion server 20 receives the applicant telephone number via the public telephone line network 40. Subsequently, the conversion server 20 converts the received applicant telephone number and application destination telephone number into a predetermined format for passing to the application reception server 30 (step S2). Then, an address corresponding to the application telephone number is acquired from the storage device 20c, and application information including the applicant telephone number and the application telephone number is transmitted to the application reception server 30 specified by the address (step S3). At this time, if the applicant telephone number is not notified, the conversion server 20 transmits information indicating that the applicant telephone number is not notified as the application telephone number.

  When receiving the application information from the conversion server 20, the application reception server 30 recognizes the applicant telephone number in the application information (step S4). When the applicant telephone number is not notified, the application reception server 30 returns a request for notification of the applicant telephone number to the conversion server 20. The reason for requesting the notification of the applicant telephone number is that the applicant cannot be specified unless the applicant telephone number can be acquired. When the applicant telephone number is not unnotified and is correctly recognized, the application reception server 30 refers to the application target table stored in the storage device 30c with the application telephone number of the application information, and the corresponding request information Is identified. Then, an input request corresponding to the specified request information is transmitted to the conversion server 20 together with the applicant telephone number (step S5). In the example of FIG. 5A, when the application telephone number is “050-... -1111”, an input request for a serial number is specified as request information, and the application reception server 30 Is sent to the conversion server 20.

  When receiving the input request and the applicant telephone number from the application receiving server 30, the conversion server 20 converts the data into a format corresponding to the input request (step S6). Specifically, the storage device 20c is referred to by a serial number input request that is an instruction type, and the corresponding telephone transmission information is acquired. In the example of FIG. 3, when a serial number input request is received from the application reception server 30, voice data with the content “Please input serial number” is acquired as telephone transmission information. Then, conversion server 20 makes an input request to telephone 10 using the acquired telephone transmission information (step S7). Specifically, the voice data acquired as the telephone transmission information is reproduced and transmitted to the telephone 10 via the public telephone line network 40 as an input request.

  The transmitted voice is received by the telephone 10 and is generated from a speaker included in the telephone 10. In this case, a voice “Please input serial number” is emitted from the speaker of the telephone 10. In response to this, the user operates the telephone 10 to input information (step S8). Specifically, the serial number is input by pressing a button corresponding to the serial number.

  The telephone 10 transmits the input information to the conversion server 20 (step S9). Since the processing in steps S8 and S9 is realized by a known technique used in IVR (Interactive Voice Response) or the like, detailed description thereof is omitted. That is, information indicating which button is operated is transmitted to the conversion server 20 via the public telephone line network 40, and the information corresponding to the button is recognized by the conversion server 20.

  When the conversion server 20 receives the serial number via the public telephone line network 40, the conversion server 20 converts the received serial number, the applicant telephone number, and the application destination telephone number into a predetermined format for passing to the application reception server 30. (Step S10). Then, an address corresponding to the application destination telephone number is acquired, and the serial number is transmitted together with the applicant telephone number and the application destination telephone number to the application reception server 30 specified by the address (step S11).

  When receiving the serial number from the conversion server 20, the application reception server 30 authenticates the serial number. Specifically, the storage device 30c is referred to and it is confirmed whether or not the received serial number exists in the serial number group recorded in association with the application target. If the received serial number exists in the serial number group recorded in association with the application target, authentication is successful. When the authentication is successful, the application target table is specified by referring to the application target table shown in FIG. Then, the applicant telephone number in the received application information is registered in association with the application target (step S12). Specifically, the application object is recorded in association with the applicant telephone number recorded in the application reception table as shown in FIG. As a result, the application is accepted. In this embodiment, since information other than the applicant telephone number is not recorded, it is impossible to know what kind of person the applicant is, but the applicant telephone number is recorded by recording the applicant telephone number. Individuals can be identified.

  Subsequently, the application reception server 30 transmits an application reception notification to the conversion server 20 (step S13). Specifically, the application reception server 30 transmits the applicant telephone number recorded in the application reception table and information indicating that the application has been received to the conversion server 20 as an application reception notification.

  When receiving the application reception notification from the application reception server 30, the conversion server 20 converts the data of the application reception information into a format for passing to the telephone 10 (step S14). Specifically, preparations are made for transmitting preset information to the applicant telephone number. As shown in FIG. 3, when an application reception notification is received as the instruction type, voice data with the content “application reception has been completed” is prepared as information set in advance. Then, the conversion server 20 transmits an application acceptance notification to the telephone 10 using the prepared information (step S15). Specifically, the conversion server 20 reproduces the prepared voice data and transmits it as voice to the telephone 10 specified by the applicant telephone number via the public telephone line network 40.

  The transmitted voice is received by the telephone 10 and is generated from a speaker included in the telephone 10. As shown in FIG. 3, when the message “Application has been completed” is stored as voice data in the storage device 20 c in the conversion server 20 in association with the application reception notification, A voice saying “Application has been accepted” is emitted from the speaker. Thereby, the user can know that the application reception has been completed.

  During the processing from step S1 to step S15, the user is in a state of making a phone call and not hanging up. Therefore, from the viewpoint of the applicant who made the call, he / she makes a call once and hears the message “Application has been completed” during the call. However, in practice, the line is not always connected until the user makes a call and then hangs up. The CPU 20a of the conversion server 20 executes a predetermined program to control the telephone line communication unit 20h. By functioning as a line control means, one line is used in a time division manner. Therefore, the conversion server 20 can perform the processing from step S1 to step S15 on a large number of telephones 10 in parallel. Thereby, even when there are applications for the same application telephone number from a large number of telephones 10, it is possible to accept each and return a message.

  If the applicant telephone number is not notified in step S4, the application reception server 30 returns a request for notification of the applicant telephone number to the conversion server 20 as described above. The conversion server 20 that has received the notification request for the subscriber telephone number reproduces the voice data such as “Please notify the telephone number” stored in the storage device 20 c and transmits it to the telephone 10. After the applicant sets the telephone number in the notification state in accordance with the voice instruction, the application reception server 30 correctly sets the applicant telephone number in step S4 by executing the processing in steps S1 to S3. Can be recognized.

<2.2. Lottery and results notification process>
Next, lottery and result notification processing by the application reception system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the sequence diagram of FIG. The application reception server 30 executes a lottery when a predetermined time has come (step S21). As a specific method of the lottery, various known methods can be used, and detailed description thereof is omitted here. When a lottery is executed using a known method and the winner and the winner are determined, the application reception server 30 notifies the conversion server 20 of the result of the lottery as the application result. (Step S22) Specifically, the applicant telephone number and information indicating the application result are associated with each other and transmitted to the conversion server 20. At this time, the application reception server 30 transmits a large number of applicant telephone numbers in a lump.

  When the conversion server 20 receives the applicant telephone number and the application result from the application reception server 30, the conversion server 20 converts the application result data into a format for passing to the telephone 10 (step S23). Specifically, preparations are made for transmitting preset information to the applicant telephone number. As shown in FIG. 3, when the application result is received as the instruction type, voice data of “winned” is prepared as pre-set information for the winning notification, and “ Audio data with the content “I have been selected” is prepared as preset information. Then, the conversion server 20 transmits the application result to the telephone 10 using the prepared information (step S24). Specifically, the conversion server 20 reproduces the prepared voice data and transmits it as voice to the telephone 10 specified by the applicant telephone number via the public telephone network 40.

  The transmitted voice is received by the telephone 10 and is generated from a speaker included in the telephone 10. For example, the voice of “winned” is emitted from the speaker of the telephone set 10 identified by the selected applicant telephone number. In addition, a voice “I have been selected” is emitted from the speaker of the telephone 10 specified by the selected applicant telephone number.
