It will be a powerful index for selection and will be a powerful sales promotion tool for product sales users, and will provide charity activities that encourage regular users to participate and continuously improve their motivation to participate. It is not something to do.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a charity server, a charity method, and a program capable of providing a charity activity that promotes participation of general users and continuously increases motivation to participate.

A charity server for achieving the above object is a server comprising an information processing device for building on the Internet a charity website that counts and records the degree of contribution of a user to a charity,
A first storage means for storing a large number of user information together with information related to introduction / introduction between users about the charity website and registering users in the charity website;
Second storage means for storing product purchase / service provided information when the user purchases a product or receives a service;
Third storage means for calculating and storing a charity count representing the degree of contribution of the user to the charity for each user based on the product purchase / service provided information stored in the second storage means;
Search means for searching for an introduction / referral relationship between users based on the introduction / referral relationship information stored in the first storage means,
The third storage means stores the charity count of the user in the second storage means of the other user when it is determined by the search means that another user is an introduced person. It is calculated and stored by calculation means based on the product purchase / service provided information.

  According to this charity server, a charity website is built on the Internet that counts and records the degree of user contribution to the charity, so that the user knows the charity count that is the contribution to his charity via the Internet. Can do. The charity count is calculated based on the user's product purchase / service provided information, and is also calculated based on the relationship information between the users. For this reason, the charity count can be counted based on the payment amount for the user's product purchase / service provision, the number of times the product purchase / service provision is used, the number of users, etc. The charity count can be counted based on the same amount of payment, the number of times used, the number of users, etc., and the charity count increases with the use of the user himself / herself and the use of another user who is the referee, thus promoting the participation of the user in the charity At the same time, it is a motivation to introduce to other users, and motivation to participate in charity continuously improves for the entire user.

  It is preferable that the server sets in advance a hierarchical range of another user who is determined to be an introduced person when viewed from one user based on the introduction / referred relationship information. This hierarchical range may be infinite or finite. For example, user A introduces the system by the above charity website to user B, user B introduces to user C, user C also introduces to user D, user D introduces to user E, As described above, when the relationship between introduction and introduction is chained, user A's introduced person may be set infinitely as users B, C, D, E,... The hierarchical range of the introduced person is 1 hierarchy up to user B, 2 hierarchy up to users B and C, 3 hierarchy up to users B, C and D, 4 hierarchy up to users B, C, D and E, and 5 more It may be set in a finite manner such as a hierarchy,.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen in which the introduction information of the charity system is posted on the user's own HP. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen for member registration of the charity system.

  First, steps from member registration to product purchase or service reservation by the user will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, the user B activates the browser 35 on the smartphone 13 shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 and accesses the home page (HP) shown in FIG. 5 of the user A who is registered as a member in the charity system via the Internet 10. When browsing (S11), a screen 41 as shown in FIG. 5 is displayed on the input display unit 15a, and when “here” 41a is touched with a finger, a URL for specifying the member registration web page of the charity system by the server 1 of FIG. It is input and the member registration web page is accessed (S12).

  Through the access S12, a member registration screen 42 as shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on the input display unit 15a of the smartphone 15 of the user B (S13). On this screen 42, the user B inputs the user ID, password, and mail address in the fields 42 a, 42 b, and 42 c, and then touches “registration” 42 e, so that the member registration information is stored in the server 1. Is registered in the user information registration unit 24 of FIG. 2, and the membership registration of the user B is completed (S14).

  When the member registration is completed, the server 1 responds to the request from the smartphone 15 of the user B, and transmits the application software to the smartphone 15 by the application management unit 1n of FIG. 2, and the received smartphone 15 receives the software of FIG. By storing in the application software 34 of the storage unit 15h, the download of the application software is completed (S15). This application includes various information for merchandise sales / service provision by the website such as merchandise sales of the server 1 and a charity system by the charity website, and the user reads the application by operating the smartphone 15. As a result, it is possible to perform product purchase and service application / reservation procedures, and to calculate and record a user's charity count linked to such product purchase and service application / reservation. Note that user information such as the user's name, address, and telephone number may be registered in the user information registration unit 24 of FIG. 3 when requesting membership registration or application download. Such applications can also be free.

  Next, the user B reads the application from the software storage unit 15h of FIG. 3 by operating the smartphone 15, and performs, for example, a product purchase or restaurant reservation procedure (S16). During this procedure, purchase information such as purchased product name and quantity, or necessary reservation information such as the name of the restaurant, the number of people, the date and time, etc. are transmitted to the server 1, and confirmation information is received from the server 1. To do. Note that the procedure for purchasing a product or making a reservation for a restaurant is not limited to the Internet, but may be performed by telephone or the like. In this case, member registration information such as a telephone number or a user ID is transmitted to a seller or the like.

Further, as described above, member registration information such as the name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, and user ID of the user B is registered in the user information registration unit 24 of the server 1 in FIG. Since B has registered as a member via the link of user A's HP, B is registered as a person to be introduced by user A. Further, the restaurant reservation information and product purchase information of the user B are recorded in the product purchase / service provided recording unit 25 of FIG. 2 (S17).

  In FIG. 6, the user B becomes a referee of the user A by registering the member via the link of the user A, but is not limited to this method. For example, the user A is specified. Membership registration may be performed by inputting an introduction key number made up of numbers, alphabets, etc. in the field 42d of the screen 42 in FIG. The user A can inform the other user of the introduction key number by means of information transmission means such as his / her HP, blog, e-mail, magazine, pamphlet, or oral communication. The introduction key number is recorded in the user information registration unit 24 of the server 1 for each user. Further, the user B may be registered as a member of the user A as an introduced person by inputting the user ID of the user A instead of the introduction key number.

  Further, as described above, when the user makes a procedure for purchasing a product or making a restaurant reservation (S16), the merchandise sales / service provision information for the user of the seller (product seller or service provider) is shown in FIG. 2 in the product sales / service provision information recording unit 28 of the server 1.

  Next, calculation and recording of the charity count in the charity method of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining steps S21 to S26 such as calculation / recording / transmission of a user's charity count according to the present embodiment.

  Referring to FIG. 7, when the server 1 of FIGS. 1 and 2 reaches a predetermined date and time, the information search unit 29 in the database unit 1f has a predetermined period (for example, one day, three days, one week, one month, etc.). The product purchase / service provided information recorded for each user is searched for in the product purchase / service provided information recording unit 25 (S21).

  Subsequently, the information search unit 29 searches the user information registration unit 24 for related information of introduction / introduction of each user (S22).

  Next, the charity count of each user is calculated by the charity count calculation unit 1j of FIG. 2 of the server 1 based on the searched product purchase / service provided information and the introduction / referral relationship information of each user (S23). .

  A specific example of the charity count calculation will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a table in which product purchase / service provided information, introduction / introduction related information, and calculation information are collected for each user in order to explain the calculation step S23 of FIG.

  In FIG. 8, it is assumed that users A to E have made purchases of various products and / or made application / reservation for service provision through a website such as product sales provided by the server 1. Specific contents of the service include, but are not limited to, restaurants, hotels, amusement parks, transportation (airplanes, railways, buses, etc.), movies, theater, music concerts, workshops, and the like.

  In addition, regarding the introduction / introduction relationship between each user in FIG. 8, user A introduces this charity system to user B, user B introduces to user C, user C also introduces to user D, If user D introduces user E as well, and the relationship between introduction and introduction is chained in this way, user A's introducer (user introduced by user A) is designated as user B, C, D, E, ... and infinitely set. Therefore, for example, the introducer of user B is users C, D, E,..., And the introducer of user C is users D, E,. Are users E,. It is assumed that the user A is registered as a member of the charity system without an introducer, and the user introduced by the user E does not yet exist. In addition, there may be a plurality of users in each hierarchy. For example, another user introduced by user A may exist in addition to user B.

  Here, for example, the charity count is calculated based on the number of product purchases of each user within the predetermined period and the number of service provided persons (number of persons who received the service). That is, FIG. 8 shows the number of product purchases, the amount of payment among the product purchase information of each user within a predetermined period, and the number of service provided, the number of people, and the amount of payment of the service provided information. However, in the case of FIG. 8, the user A receives the service provided by five people, so the user's own charity count is 5, and similarly, the user B purchases the product once, and the service provided 2 Since it is a person, the charity count is 3, and similarly, the charity count of the user C is 2, and the charity count of the user D (the service is provided twice, the total number of people is 25) is 25, User E has a charity count of four. As a result, the charity count of the other users who are the referees of each user is user B + C + D + E = 34 for user A, and the total charity count of 39, including his own 5, is 39. Similarly, for user B, 3 + 31 = 34, for user C, 2 + 29 = 31, for user D, 25 + 4 = 29, for user E, 4 + 0 = 4.

  The charity count within the predetermined period calculated as described above is recorded in the charity count recording unit 25 in FIG. 2 (S24). Since the charity count recording unit 25 records the charity counts of each user so far, the above calculated amount is added and the total charity count is rewritten.

  Further, the charity count and the total charity count of each user within a predetermined period are transmitted from the electronic mail unit 1c of FIG. 2 to the mail address of each user (S25).

  In addition, the charity count and the total charity count of each user within a predetermined period are disclosed to the charity website together with the user ID of each user by the public information management unit 1p of FIG. 2 (S26). Such disclosure may be performed for all users, but in addition to or instead of this, ranking information of higher users regarding the charity count may be disclosed.

  Next, calculation of charity donation and the like in the charity method of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining steps S31 to S36 such as calculation of charity donation in the present embodiment.

  Referring to FIG. 9, the server 1 in FIGS. 1 and 2 sells and sells products for each seller or the like recorded in the database unit 1 f by the information search unit 29 within a predetermined period at a predetermined date and time. The provided information is searched by the product sales / service offer information recording unit 28 (S31). As a result, sales performance information by product sales / service provision through the website for product sales by the server 1 is aggregated for each seller within a predetermined period. The sales performance information includes the number of uses, the number of users, the total sales, and the like.

  Next, the donation information etc. calculation unit 1k of the server 1 in FIG. 2 calculates a fee charged to the seller etc. based on the above sales etc. performance information (S32). Such a charge is, for example, an advertising fee, a referral fee, a usage fee, etc. for a website such as product sales of the server 1.

  Next, the donation information etc. calculation unit 1k of the server 1 in FIG. 2 calculates a charity donation amount based on the above sales etc. performance information (S33). For example, it may be a predetermined rate (n%) of the charge charged to the seller or the like.

  For example, if the charge to be charged to a seller, etc., is set as a fixed amount m × total number of uses for product sales and a fixed amount m × total number of users for service provision, Fixed amount m × total number of uses (total number of users) × n / 100.

  The fee charged to the seller and the like and the charity donation amount are recorded in the donation information recording unit 27 of FIG. 2 (S34). Then, for example, an invoice or a remittance is output from the printer or the like for billing to the seller or the like and remittance to the charity or charity (S35). Remittance of charity donations to charity organizations, charities, etc. may be performed directly from the seller or the like.

  Further, based on the merchandise sales / service provision information of the seller or the like recorded in the merchandise sales / service provision information recording unit 28 of FIG. 2, the total number of charity counts counted for the user by the merchant or the like can be calculated. Therefore, the charity count of each seller is published on the charity website by the public information management unit 1p of FIG. 2 (S36). Further, it may be transmitted to a communication terminal such as a seller along with the release. Such disclosure may be performed for all sellers, etc., but in addition to this, instead of this, ranking information of higher sellers regarding charity count may be disclosed. The charity count for each seller is calculated based on the number of users, the number of users, and the amount of payment for the seller, etc., but the use of other users who are the users introduced by the seller, etc. You may add the amount calculated based on the frequency | count, the number of users, and the payment amount.

  Next, the relationship between the charity count and the charity donation amount will be described. For example, regarding the service provision, as described above, when the charity solicitation amount is a fixed amount m × total number of users × n / 100, one unit charity solicitation amount per user is a fixed amount m × n / 100. . On the other hand, as described above, the charity count is one charity count when one person is used once, so one charity count corresponds to one unit charity donation amount. Here, if one unit charity donation amount corresponds to, for example, one meal for lunch, one blanket, one vaccine for preventing infectious diseases, one textbook, etc. as one unit of relief supplies, for example, The 10 charity count can be considered as equivalent to 10 meals.

  Note that the above-described relationship between the charity count and the charity donation amount (one charity count = one unit charity donation amount) is an example and can be set separately. For example, one charity count is p × One unit charity can be raised. Here, p can be set to a number less than 1 or a number greater than 1, depending on the type or cost of the relief supplies.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the server 1 of FIGS. 1 and 2 constructs a charity website on the Internet that counts and records the degree of contribution of each user to the charity.

For example, in the case of up to two layers, in FIG. 8, the introducer of user A is users B and C, the introducer of user B is users C, D, and so on.

  In addition, as a charity donation, for example, the seller is charged as an advertising fee, an introduction fee, a usage fee, etc. on the product sales website of the server 1 based on the sales performance of the seller, etc. Part of the fee will be applied. In this way, advertising fees including charity donations are success-type fees, and there is no risk for sellers to publish products on websites. For this reason, sellers are also actively involved in this charity system. Motivate to participate. Moreover, a general user can participate in charity activities more easily and widely than before by using a product sales website provided by the server 1.

  As described above, the modes for carrying out the present invention have been described.
