Description

  The present invention relates to a search support system and a search support program that can be used, for example, to search for elderly people.

  Conventionally, a system has been developed that can detect this abnormality and notify the monitor in a case where it is impossible to move from a certain position due to an abnormality occurring in an elderly person, for example (for example, Patent Documents). 1).

  According to the system disclosed in Patent Literature 1, when a portable terminal held by an elderly person or the like confirms his / her position at a predetermined cycle and the position does not change over a predetermined period of time, another mobile phone held by the supervisor Notification is made that an abnormality has occurred in the terminal. Thereby, the supervisor can know the abnormality which generate | occur | produced in elderly people etc.

JP 2008-3992 A

  However, the system disclosed in Patent Document 1 can only detect an abnormality when an elderly person with a portable terminal does not move. For this reason, for example, even if the system is applied to an elderly person who has a risk of wrinkles, the elderly persons move (habit), and thus cannot detect the wrinkles as abnormal.

  In addition, elderly people and the like have to always have a mobile phone or a smartphone (hereinafter referred to as a “mobile phone”) that can communicate with a radio base station of a carrier (a mobile phone company). For this reason, the system cannot be used when elderly people are reluctant to always carry a mobile phone or the like, or when the mobile phone is left somewhere.

  Furthermore, for the purpose of solving the above-mentioned problems, elderly people etc. possessed “terminals that can only make outgoing calls” (hereinafter referred to as “calling terminals”), which are always easy to carry, not mobile phones. In this case, a base station that can receive a signal from the calling terminal is required. If the transmitting terminal is downsized so that it can be easily held, the distance that the signal from the transmitting terminal reaches tends to be short. For this reason, a large number of base stations are required to cover an area where elderly people or the like may be hesitant, and the cost required to construct the system becomes enormous.

  The present invention has been made in order to solve such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to be able to search for a moving elderly person and the like, and to keep a small transmission terminal in the elderly person. The object is to provide a search support system and a search support program that can build a system at a low cost.

  According to one aspect of the present invention, a search comprising a server connected to a network, a transmitting terminal that transmits a transmitting terminal ID, and a plurality of receiving terminals that receive the transmitting terminal ID and communicate with the server A support system is provided.

  Preferably, a Bluetooth (registered trademark, hereinafter the same) standard is used for a transmission terminal ID transmitted from the transmission terminal.

  Preferably, the receiving terminal only receives the transmitting terminal ID from the transmitting terminal and does not communicate with the transmitting terminal.

  Preferably, the receiving terminal is a mobile phone including a search support program.

  According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a program for causing a receiving terminal to execute a step of receiving a calling terminal ID from a calling terminal and a step of transmitting the calling terminal ID to a server via a network. .

  Preferably, after the receiving terminal is made to receive the transmitting terminal ID and before the transmitting terminal ID is transmitted to the server, the receiving terminal is further described in the search target list. A step of matching with the searcher transmission terminal ID and a step of transmitting searchee discovery information such as the transmission terminal ID to the server when the transmission terminal ID matches the searcher transmission terminal ID are executed.

  Preferably, the Bluetooth standard is used for the transmission terminal ID from the transmission terminal.

  Preferably, the receiving terminal only receives the transmitting terminal ID and does not perform communication with the transmitting terminal.

  According to the present invention, the receiving terminal relays between the transmitting terminal and the server, which are small in size and reach a short distance. For this reason, it is possible to communicate with the server over a longer distance than the transmitting terminal, and a mobile phone or the like that is currently widely used is used as a receiving terminal, and these receiving terminals are used as if they are “mobile base stations”. This makes it possible to configure an “area” in which a plurality of receiving terminals receive a transmitting terminal ID from a transmitting terminal, and it is not necessary to add an expensive fixed base station. This provides a search support system with high reliability and low cost in a wide area using a small transmitting terminal.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals. Their names and functions are also the same. Therefore, detailed description thereof will not be repeated.
<Configuration of search support system>

  With reference to FIG. 1, the whole structure of the search assistance system 100 concerning this Embodiment is demonstrated. The search support system 100 includes a transmission terminal 102, a reception terminal 104, a fixed base station 106, a server 108, and a search requester terminal 110. In this embodiment, the search support system 100 for searching for elderly people and the like will be described. However, the search target is not limited to humans such as elderly people, and for example, for searching for pets, cars, or valuables. Is also applicable.

  The transmission terminal 102 is a terminal possessed by an elderly person or the like who is the search target person H, and has a function of transmitting a transmission terminal ID 112 unique to the transmission terminal 102.

  The transmission terminal 102 is preferably one that can be possessed (worn) by an elderly person or the like without much awareness. A rosary can be considered, but is not limited to this. It is also conceivable to use an electronic device having a communication function possessed by an elderly person or the like as the transmitting terminal 102. When one elderly person or the like has a plurality of transmission terminals 102, the reliability of search can be improved.

  Further, it is preferable to use the Bluetooth standard for the transmission terminal ID 112 transmitted from the transmission terminal 102. The Bluetooth standard is a short-range / short-range wireless communication standard that can communicate at a speed of about 1 Mbps using a 2.45 GHz band radio wave that can be freely used without a license. Unlike IrDA (Infrared Data Association) that uses infrared rays, the Bluetooth standard can be used even if there is an obstacle between the devices as long as the distance between the devices is within 10 m. In addition, as a device having the Bluetooth standard, a small transceiver of 0.5 square inches is generally used, so that power consumption is small and manufacturing cost can be suppressed compared to a device using IrDA. Instead of the Bluetooth standard, a standard for exchanging mutual device IDs in the communication establishment procedure (ZigBee, UWB, RF-ID, etc.) can be used.

  FIG. 2 shows a typical configuration of the transmission terminal 102. The transmitting terminal 102 includes a signal transmitting unit 114 that transmits a signal including the transmitting terminal ID 112 and an antenna 116 that transmits a signal transmitted by the signal transmitting unit 114.

  The transmission terminal 102 may be provided with a switch for performing or stopping transmission of the transmission terminal ID 112. However, in order to find the searched person H in a short period, it is preferable that transmission of the transmission terminal ID 112 is always performed. is there. On the other hand, in order to save power consumption in the transmitting terminal 102, a motion sensor or the like is incorporated in the transmitting terminal 102. When the transmitting terminal 102 does not move for a certain period of time, the operation of the signal transmitting unit 114 is stopped until the movement is started again. Or the transmission timing of the transmission terminal ID 112 may be intermittent. It is also conceivable that the searcher H can be searched quickly by temporarily increasing the output of the transmission signal from the transmission terminal 102 by a timer or the like. For example, when an elderly person or the like who owns the transmission terminal 102 possesses a sensor such as a pulse meter, the sensor information is received, and if the elderly person or the like seems to have an abnormal health condition, an output is given. Usage such as strengthening is assumed.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the receiving terminal 104 is a terminal possessed by the search cooperator K who cooperates with the search for the search target person H, and receives the signal including the transmission terminal ID 112 transmitted from the transmission terminal 102 and is fixed. It has a function of communicating with the base station 106.

  As the receiving terminal 104, any device can be used as long as it can receive the transmitting terminal ID 112 and has a function of communicating with the fixed base station 106. However, if the Bluetooth standard is used for the transmitting terminal ID 112, it is preferable to use a mobile phone or the like corresponding to the Bluetooth standard as the receiving terminal 104. This is because the search support system 100 can be constructed at a lower cost by using a commonly used mobile phone or the like. Furthermore, if a mobile phone or the like personally owned by the search partner K is used as the receiving terminal 104, the cost of the receiving terminal 104 body is substantially free, and the search support system 100 can be constructed at a lower cost. . It is conceivable that the search cooperator K downloads the search support program P to his / her mobile phone or the like and causes the mobile phone or the like to function as the receiving terminal 104. In the present embodiment, in order to download the search support program P, in addition to the case where the search support program P is stored in the reception terminal 104, the reception terminal 104 directly executes the search support program P stored on the server 108. All methods of using the search support program P at the receiving terminal 104 are included.

  FIG. 3 shows a typical configuration of the receiving terminal 104. The receiving terminal 104 generally includes a receiving unit 118, a memory 120, a storage medium 122 such as an HD (hard disk) or SSD (solid state drive) that can store programs and data, a clock 124, a communication unit 126, and a GPS. A (Global Positioning System) receiving unit 128, a CPU 130, and a display screen 131 are provided. Instead of the GPS receiving unit 128, an appropriate method for detecting the position of the receiving terminal 104 may be employed.

  The receiving unit 118 receives a signal including the transmission terminal ID 112 from the transmission terminal 102. The communication unit 126 performs communication with the fixed base station 106. The GPS receiver 128 receives a GPS signal from the GPS satellite G. The storage medium 122 stores a search target person list L and a search support program P, which will be described later. Note that the search target person list L may be held by the fixed base station 106.

  The search support program P is a program for operating a part of the search support system 100 using the hardware of the reception terminal 104, and may be installed in the reception terminal 104 in advance, or a search possessing the reception terminal 104 It may be installed in the receiving terminal 104 by downloading by the collaborator K. Thereby, since the receiving terminals 104 increase in a self-propagating manner, the area, effectiveness, and certainty of the search support system 100 are improved.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the fixed base station 106 is connected to the network NT such as the Internet and communicates with the receiving terminal 104. For example, a radio base station of a carrier (a mobile phone company) can be considered. . Usually, one fixed base station 106 can communicate with a plurality of receiving terminals 104. Accordingly, each receiving terminal 104 can be connected to the network NT via the fixed base station 106. If each receiving terminal 104 can connect directly to the server 108 without the need for relaying the fixed base station 106, the fixed base station 106 is not necessary.

  The server 108 is connected to the network NT and communicates with the receiving terminal 104 of the search target person H and the search requester terminal 110 of the search requester S.

  FIG. 4 shows a typical configuration of the server 108. The server 108 generally includes a memory 132, a storage medium 134 such as an HD (hard disk) or SSD (solid state drive) that can store programs and data, a clock 136, a communication unit 138, and a CPU 140. The storage medium 134 stores a server list LS. The communication unit 138 performs communication via a network NT such as the Internet.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the search requester terminal 110 is operated by the search requester S and is a terminal for inputting a search request using the search support system 100. When the search support system 100 is used for searching for a search target person H (elderly person, etc.) who hesitates, the search requester S can search for a relative of the search target person H, the police, the local government, or a search for an old person Supporting NPOs can be considered. In addition, although it is efficient that the search requester terminal 110 is configured separately from the reception terminal 104, the reception terminal 104 may be used as the search requester terminal 110. In this case, the search cooperator K can easily use the search support system 100, and an increase in the search cooperators K participating in the search support system 100 can be expected.

  A typical configuration of the search requester terminal 110 is the same as the configuration of the server 108. As shown in FIG. 5, the memory 142, the storage medium 144, the clock 146, the communication unit 148, and the CPU 150 are roughly included. And a display screen 152. The communication unit 148 performs communication via a network NT such as the Internet.

  Next, examples of the server list LS and the search target list L used in the search support system 100 will be described. FIG. 6 shows a server list LS, and FIG. 7 shows a search target list L.

  In the server list LS, at least “searchee transmission terminal ID” is recorded. Further, in order to protect the personal information of the search target person H, it is desirable to write “password PW”. Each “searchee transmission terminal ID” is associated with an individual “password PW”. In addition to this, “searcher name” may be described in a form associated with “searchee transmission terminal ID”. In the example shown in FIG. 6, “ID: 0001” to “ID: 0004” are linked to “Mr. B” who is the search target person H. "ID: 0001" is Mr. B's "clock", "ID: 0002" is Mr. B's "necklace", "ID: 0003" is Mr. B's "ring", and "ID: 0004" is Mr. B's. This is a transmission terminal ID transmitted from the transmission terminal 102 attached to the “cane”. That is, if it is possible to search for the transmitting terminal 102 that transmits any of the transmitting terminal IDs 112 from “ID: 0001” to “ID: 0004”, the location of Mr. B (the searchee H) may be specified. .

  Furthermore, the “related party name” and the “related party contact information” may be described in the server list LS in a form linked to the “searched person name”. The “related person name” may be a relative (child or grandchild) of the search target person H. The “related party name” and the “related party contact information” are used, for example, when notifying the related party of the location of the searchee H when the location of the searched person H can be specified.

  The search target list L shown in FIG. 7 is a list stored in the storage medium 122 of each receiving terminal 104. From the viewpoint of protecting personal information, the search target list L includes a “search target transmission terminal ID”. "Only. A new search target list L may be transmitted from the server 108 to each reception terminal 104 each time the search target transmission terminal ID to be searched increases or decreases. Further, only the searcher transmission terminal IDs to be increased or decreased are transmitted from the server 108 to each reception terminal 104, and at each reception terminal 104, the CPU 130 transmits the searcher transmission from the searcher list L stored in the storage medium 122. The search target list L may be updated by increasing or decreasing the terminal ID.

<Search procedure using search support system>
Next, a search procedure using the search support system 100 according to the embodiment will be described. In the following search procedure, a method using the password PW will be described. However, the password PW can be omitted if there is no personal information protection or search client S specific problem. In using the search support system 100, the transmitting terminal 102 (article such as a watch including the transmitting terminal 102) is handed over to an elderly person who may become the search target person H in advance. At the same time, the transmitting terminal ID 112 of the transmitting terminal 102 and the password PW associated therewith are registered in the server list LS stored in the server 108. If necessary, "searcher name", "related party name", and "related party contact" may be registered in association with the searched person transmission terminal ID.

  From such a state, first, as shown in FIG. 8, the search requester S accesses the server 108 using the search requester terminal 110, and inputs the searcher transmission terminal ID and password PW to be searched (S051). ).

  Thereafter, the CPU 140 of the server 108 refers to the server list LS stored in the storage medium 134, and confirms the accessed searcher caller terminal ID (S052). At this time, when only the “searchee transmission terminal ID” and “password PW” are described in the server list LS (“Yes” in S053), the CPU 140 uses the memory 132 and the storage medium 134 to perform communication. The increase of the searcher transmission terminal ID is notified to each receiving terminal 104 via the unit 138 (S054). In addition, when updating the “searched person list L” on the server 108, a new “searched person transmission terminal ID” is added to the “searched person list L” and then transmitted to each receiving terminal 104. (The same applies hereinafter). Also, in the server list LS, when “searcher name” is described in a form linked to a plurality of “seeker transmission terminal IDs” (“No” in S053), the server 108 An increase notification is sent to each receiving terminal 104 for all “searched person transmission terminal IDs” linked to “searched person name” (S055).

  Each receiving terminal 104 possessed by each search cooperator K accepts a new searcher transmitting terminal ID from the communication unit 126 via the network NT and the fixed base station 106. The CPU 130 of each receiving terminal 104 expands the searcher list L stored in the storage medium 122 on the memory 120 based on the command described in the search support program P, and sets the received searcher transmission terminal ID as the received searcher ID. Add to search target list L. Thereafter, the CPU 130 stores the updated search target person list L in the storage medium 122. At this time, the CPU 130 may acquire the update date / time from the clock 124 and add the update date / time to the search target list L. When the updated search target list L is transmitted from the server 108, the CPU 130 of each receiving terminal 104 determines the old search target stored in the storage medium 122 based on the command described in the search support program P. After discarding the searcher list L, the updated searcher list L is stored in the storage medium 122.

  Next, a procedure from when the receiving terminal 104 starts receiving the transmitting terminal ID 112 from the transmitting terminal 102 to when the server 108 ends the search for the search target person H will be described with reference to FIG.

  The CPU 130 of the receiving terminal 104 possessed by each search cooperator K starts receiving the transmitting terminal ID 112 transmitted from the transmitting terminal 102 by operating the receiving unit 118 based on the command described in the search support program P. (S101). That is, when the Bluetooth standard is used for the transmission terminal ID 112 in the search support system 100, the reception terminal 104 enters a state in which it searches for and accepts the peripheral transmission terminal ID 112 in the previous stage of “pairing” in the Bluetooth standard.

  Thereafter, the reception terminal 104 waits for the reception unit 118 to receive the transmission terminal ID 112 from the transmission terminal 102 (S102). When the search target person H who has the transmission terminal 102 that transmits the transmission terminal ID 112 or the person who is not the search target (non-search target person) N approaches the reception terminal 104 (FIG. 1), the reception terminal 104 becomes the transmission terminal ID 112. Is received (“Yes” in S102). When the receiving unit 118 receives the calling terminal ID 112, the CPU 130 of the receiving terminal 104 extracts the searched person list L from the storage medium 122, and matches the received calling terminal ID 112 with the searched person list L (S103).

  As a result of the matching, when the received calling terminal ID 112 does not match the searched person transmitting terminal ID in the searched person list L (when the received calling terminal ID 112 is that of the non-search person N. That is, in S104, “ No "), the CPU 130 discards the received transmission terminal ID 112 and causes the reception unit 118 to start receiving the transmission terminal ID 112 again (S101).

  As a result of the matching, when the received caller ID 112 matches the searcher caller ID of the searchee list L (if the received caller ID 112 is that of the searcher H. That is, “Yes in S104” The CPU 130 receives a GPS signal from the GPS satellite G using the GPS receiving unit 128, and obtains GPS position information of the receiving terminal 104 (S106). Prior to (or after) the acquisition of the GPS position information, in order to notify the search cooperator K that the search target person H is in the vicinity, the display screen 131 of the receiving terminal 104 indicates “the search target is near. It may be displayed such as “mass” (S105).

  After obtaining the GPS location information, the CPU 130, based on the command described in the search support program P, receives the received transmission terminal ID 112, the GPS location information, and the reception time of the transmission terminal ID 112 obtained from the clock 124. The data is transmitted to the server 108 via the communication unit 126 (S107). Note that the transmission of the GPS position information and the reception time is not essential, and at least the received transmission terminal ID 112 may be transmitted. Information transmitted from the receiving terminal 104 to the server 108 is collectively referred to as “searched person discovery information”.

  The CPU 140 of the server 108 that has received the transmission terminal ID 112, the GPS position information, and the reception time transmits these to the search requester terminal 110 via the communication unit 138 (S108). When the “searchee name” associated with the received transmission terminal ID 112 is described in the server list LS, the CPU 140 includes the “searchee name” and the search requester terminal 110. May be sent to. Furthermore, when “related party name” or “related party contact information” associated with the received transmission terminal ID 112 is described in the server list LS, the CPU 140 determines that the “related party name” or “related party name” The information may be transmitted to the search requester terminal 110 including the “contact address”, or any one or more of the received transmission terminal ID 112, GPS position information, reception time, and searched person name may be, for example, “related party contact” It may also be sent to the e-mail address described in “Destination”.

  The CPU 150 of the search requester terminal 110 provides the search requester S with the information received via the communication unit 148 on the screen, etc. (by combining the GPS position information and the map data, The information indicating the GPS position information may be provided. When the search requester S is a police, a local government, or an NPO, the person in charge is immediately dispatched to the location indicated by the GPS position information in order to protect the search target person H. In addition, along with this, it is also possible to notify a person concerned (such as a relative) of the searched person H who has been obtained from the server list LS in advance that the position of the searched person H is known.

<Characteristics of search support system>
According to the embodiment, the receiving terminal 104 relays between the transmitting terminal 102 that is small and has a short signal reach and the fixed base station 106 such as a carrier. For this reason, it is possible to communicate with the fixed base station 106 at a longer distance than the transmitting terminal 102, and a mobile phone or the like that is currently widely used is used as the receiving terminal 104, and these receiving terminals 104 are regarded as “mobile type”. By using as a “base station”, an “area” for receiving the transmission terminal ID 112 from the transmission terminal 102 by the plurality of reception terminals 104 can be configured for each fixed base station 106, and the addition of an expensive fixed base station 106 is unnecessary. It becomes. As a result, it is possible to construct a search support system 100 having a high reliability and a low cost in a wide area by using the small transmitting terminal 102.

  Further, by using the Bluetooth standard for the transmission terminal ID 112 transmitted from the transmission terminal 102, it is possible to use, as the transmission terminal 102, a device to which the Bluetooth standard currently available on the market in large quantities is applied. The search support system 100 can be constructed at a lower cost. In addition, since the Bluetooth standard has recently been installed in every device, the expansibility of the search support system 100 can be further enhanced. Furthermore, since the power used for the Bluetooth standard is as small as about 10 mW and it is said that there is almost no adverse effect on the human body, the search support system 100 with higher safety can be constructed.

  In addition, since the receiving terminal 104 only receives the transmitting terminal ID 112 from the transmitting terminal 102 and does not communicate with the transmitting terminal 102, the receiving terminal 104 can make many outgoing calls in a short time. The sending terminal ID 112 from the terminal 102 and the search target list L can be matched.

<Modification>
In the above-described embodiment, the transmission terminal ID 112 received by the reception terminal 104 is matched with the search target list L in the reception terminal 104. However, as described below, the received transmission terminal ID 112 is stored in the server. You may make it match with server list | wrist LS within 108. FIG.

  Such a case will be described with reference to FIG. The search requester S accesses the server 108 using the search requester terminal 110, and inputs the search target sender terminal ID and password PW to be searched (S061).

  Thereafter, the CPU 140 of the server 108 refers to the server list LS stored in the storage medium 134 and confirms the accessed searchee caller terminal ID and password PW (S062). At this time, when only the “searchee transmission terminal ID” and “password PW” are described in the server list LS (“Yes” in S063), the CPU 140 in the server list LS The “calling terminal ID” is set to “searching” (S064). Also, in the server list LS, when “searcher name” is described in a form linked to a plurality of “searcher transmission terminal IDs” (“No” in S063), the “searcher name” All “searchee transmission terminal IDs” linked to “searching” are set to “searching” (S065).

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 11, the CPU 130 of the receiving terminal 104 possessed by each search cooperator K operates the receiving unit 118 based on the command described in the search support program P, thereby Reception of the outgoing terminal ID 112 is started (S201). That is, when the Bluetooth standard is used for the transmission terminal ID 112 in the search support system 100, the receiving terminal 104 is in a state of accepting “pairing” in the Bluetooth standard.

  Thereafter, the CPU 130 waits for the receiving unit 118 to receive the caller terminal ID 112 from the caller terminal 102 (S202). When the search target person H possessing the transmission terminal 102 that transmits the transmission terminal ID 112 or the non-search target person (non-search target person) N approaches the reception terminal 104, the reception terminal 104 receives the transmission terminal ID 112 ( “Yes” in S202).

  When receiving the transmitting terminal ID 112, the CPU 130 receives a GPS signal from the GPS satellite G using the GPS receiving unit 128 based on a command described in the search support program P, and obtains GPS position information of the receiving terminal 104 ( S203).

  After obtaining the GPS location information, the CPU 130, based on the command described in the search support program P, receives the received transmission terminal ID 112, the GPS location information, and the reception time of the transmission terminal ID 112 obtained from the clock 124. The data is transmitted to the server 108 via the communication unit 126 (S204). Note that the transmission of the GPS position information and the reception time is not essential, and at least the received transmission terminal ID 112 may be transmitted.

  The CPU 140 of the server 108 that has received the transmission terminal ID 112, the GPS position information, and the reception time extracts the server list LS stored in the storage medium 134, and the searcher transmission terminal that has been “searching” in advance. The ID and the received transmission terminal ID 112 are matched (S205).

  As a result of matching, when the received transmission terminal ID 112 does not match any of the searched person transmission terminal IDs that are “searching” (when the received transmission terminal ID 112 is that of the non-search person N). In other words, “No” in S206), the CPU 140 discards the received transmission terminal ID 112, the GPS position information, and the reception time, and causes the reception terminal 104 to start receiving the transmission terminal ID 112 again. Note that the receiving terminal ID 112 may be continuously received by the receiving terminal 104 even while the server 108 performs matching.

  As a result of the matching, when the received transmission terminal ID 112 matches one of the searcher transmission terminal IDs that are “searching” (when the received transmission terminal ID 112 is that of the search person H. That is, The CPU 140 transmits the calling terminal ID 112, the GPS position information, and the reception time to the search requester terminal 110 via the communication unit 138 (S207). When the “searchee name” associated with the received transmission terminal ID 112 is described in the server list LS, the CPU 140 includes the “searchee name” and the search requester terminal 110. May be sent to. Furthermore, when “related party name” or “related party contact information” associated with the received transmission terminal ID 112 is described in the server list LS, the CPU 140 determines that the “related party name” or “related party name” The information may be transmitted to the search requester terminal 110 including the “contact address”, or any one or more of the received transmission terminal ID 112, GPS position information, reception time, and searched person name may be, for example, “related party contact” It may also be sent to the e-mail address described in “First”.

  In the server list LS, a “comment” field may be added in a form linked to the “searched person name”. For example, the search requester S can input the characteristics of the searchee H's face, body, or belongings in the comment field via the search requester terminal 110. When the CPU 130 of the receiving terminal 104 transmits the transmission terminal ID 112 described in the search target list L to the server 108, the “comment” associated with the search person H corresponding to the transmission terminal ID 112 by the CPU 140 of the server 108. ”Is transmitted to the receiving terminal 104, and the CPU 130 of the receiving terminal 104 that has received“ comment ”causes the display screen 131 to display the“ comment ”. Thereby, the search cooperator K who has the receiving terminal 104 can easily find the search target person H.

  It is also conceivable to give points or the like to the search partner K who has downloaded the search support program P to the receiving terminal 104. By adding points and the like, the number of search cooperators K increases, so that the area, effectiveness, and certainty of the search support system 100 can be further improved. In addition, points etc. are exchanged into cash etc. from the search fee paid by the search client S, or deposited as points etc., and when the search cooperator K uses the search support system 100 as the search client S, It can also be used as part of the search fee. This can be expected to further increase the number of search partners K.

  The embodiment disclosed this time should be considered as illustrative in all points and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.
