Description

  The present invention generally relates to an online donation system for processing small amounts of online donations to registered NPO corporations made by member users using a networked computer system.

  As communication, telegraph, telephone, wireless, television, and recent digital networks become widely used in society, it is now possible to electronically carry out the act of “donation” using a digital computer system. It has become to.

  This donation system is a settlement method that is established by a credit relationship that guarantees payment after a certain period of time, as with general consumer goods such as goods and services. This is a payment made through a credit card and is commonly called a credit card payment.

  Such credit card payments have become widespread not only in real space but also in commerce in electronic virtual spaces on the Internet, and this is not an exception for the charitable act of “donation” and is electronically subject to credit card payments. .

  Specifically, if a user who visits the homepage of an organization or organization that provides electronic fundraising services wants to resonate with and support the activities of that organization or organization, such as an NPO, a donation placed on the organization's homepage The system consists of clicking a button, entering the donation amount, payment method, and information necessary for payment, and then paying online. It is exactly the same as other consumer goods.

JP 2014-111986A

  However, there are two major problems with the charitable act of donation being handled using a standardized online payment system like other consumer goods. First of all, there is a problem that the “voluntary nature of the actor”, which is a precondition for the charitable act of donation, is not sufficiently secured.

  Generally, in the case of credit card settlement, a certain time lag occurs between the purchase timing of goods and services and the actual settlement timing. This gap becomes a problem for donations.

  For products and services that allow a certain specific cost for production and provision, it is natural to make a payment once purchased or provided, and there is no relation to time gaps.

  However, since donations are essentially a charitable act of 100% actors, the actors should be voluntarily secured, but in reality they are treated exactly the same as other consumer goods. Settlement is being processed. This is the current status of the settlement system for “donation”, both domestically and internationally, and is a problem to be solved.

  That is, for example, even if a user makes a donation online to a group or activity using a fundraising service and then discovers another group or activity of the same type that is more favorable to the user, Since the donation was settled, it was impossible to change the donation destination.

  In addition, even if you donate online to a group or activity using a fundraising service, and then the economic situation changes and you can no longer afford to pay, the current donation is processed by the original donation. As a result, the donation could not be canceled.

  Next, as a second problem, conventional online payments were not able to deal with small amounts of donations such as 10 yen or 100 yen for one payment amount.

  The reason was simple and clear, and each online payment fee was the single biggest obstacle. Payment of 10 yen and 100 yen products and services online has not been practically done due to the fact that payment fees paid to credit card companies are extremely small and payment processing is complicated. . Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that there was virtually no settlement of goods and services of 10 yen or 100 yen with a credit card regardless of domestic or overseas.

  This is not limited to products and services, but applies to online payments. In other words, donations are no exception, and there are no service providers that accept small amounts of donations online. The price of 1,500 yen or more per time is a market price in Japan.

  In this way, there are two major problems with conventional online payments related to donations: 1. The voluntary nature of donors is not sufficiently secured for donations that are 100% pure charity. The point is that it does not support donations.

  I must say that it was essentially impossible to settle the charitable act of donation in Iran. The Internet has become widespread, and transactions of people, goods and money are widely conducted not only in the traditional real space but also in the online space via the Internet, so that not only providers of products and services but also users. It is a fact that convenience has improved dramatically, but it is an unmistakable fact that even charitable acts such as donations are uniformly settled online just like other products and services, and efforts to improve Unfortunately, I don't hear about the case where this was done.

  It is speculated that there are not many users who have felt uncomfortable or resistant to the way of online payment of donations when using or considering the use of users. It seems that the fact was that he had given up on his own saying, "It can't be helped."

  Therefore, in the present invention, facing the above two problems from the front, using online for donation settlement, or reducing the sense of discomfort and resistance felt by users who want to consider using it in the future, actively with peace of mind In order to be able to make donations online, we will make a major improvement to the traditional online payment methods and provide an online payment system optimized for donations.

  In the present invention, the problem settlement is solved by taking two specific measures to improve the mechanism of permission settlement from the viewpoint of guaranteeing the voluntary nature of the actor and “virtual donation” from the viewpoint of overcoming the obstacle of the settlement fee. thing.

  Providing a payment system optimized for charitable activities such as donations also provides a new social contribution infrastructure that has never existed. Many people can feel at ease by providing the services of this embodiment. I want to create an environment where I can make online donations and renew the social contribution scene in Japan and overseas. And we want to activate the donation market and achieve sustainable growth.

  Socially vulnerable people are exploding on a global scale. On the other hand, serious funding difficulties for organizations and organizations that carry out social contribution activities such as NPOs that need support have become permanent, and no effective solution has yet been found. I would like to make the present invention a big step to overcome this situation.

  First of all, “Tiny Bit” is a small online fund-raising service on the Internet that implements the present invention and adopts a membership system. Near field communication technology (BLE) installed in stores such as convenience stores as a real space development An online donation box with a built-in NFC tag is called “real donation box anywhere”.

The user accesses the authentication page of the small amount online donation system in the Tiny bit server through the terminal, and the authentication / registration process is performed through the authentication page. A donation process is performed and it is determined whether or not a predetermined set period has ended. When the predetermined set period ends, the user performs a settlement process for determining whether or not to actually make the donation. This is an online donation system.

  The invention according to claim 2 is the online donation system according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined setting period is initially set in advance in the tiny bit server.

  The invention according to claim 3 is the online donation system according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined setting period is initially set in advance by the user.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the online donation process by the user is once handled as point information, and is once stored in the first storage means, and after the predetermined setting period, payment is made to the user. 2. The online donation system according to claim 1, wherein an actual payment process is performed on the stored point information only for the user whose intention has been confirmed and whose payment intention has been confirmed. is there.

  In the invention according to claim 5, with the predetermined setting period, a donation amount per time, an upper limit and a lower limit of the total donation amount within the period, a donation destination NPO, and a donation ratio are initially set in advance in the Tiny Bit server. The online donation system according to claim 1, wherein:

  FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an overall configuration of a small-amount online donation system embodying the present invention.

  First of all, “Tiny Bit” is a small online fund-raising service on the Internet that implements the present invention and adopts a membership system. Near field communication technology (BLE) installed in stores such as convenience stores as a real space development An online donation box with a built-in NFC tag is called “real donation box anywhere”.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the small-amount online donation system according to the present embodiment has a plurality of tiny bit servers 7 connected to an Internet line network 1 via a LAN (Local Area Network) 3 and a route control device 5. Each member's terminal 9 is connected to the Internet line network 1. FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a small online donation system embodying the present invention.

  Further, an SNS (Social Networking Service) server 11 such as Facebook or Twitter is also connected to the Internet network 1.

  Here, Tinybit Server 7 is equipped with a home page of a specialized site centered on the provision of a small-scale online fund-raising service on the Internet with a membership system, and many NPOs in Japan and overseas are registered as donation organizations. Donations from members registered with the Service are made through the Service.

  The tiny bit server 7 includes a member database 7a in which member information is stored, a point database 7b in which point information is stored, a payment database 7d in which member payment information is stored, and a member service use mode. A mode management database 7c to be managed and a mail server 7e are connected.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4, a connection form between the Internet network 1 shown in FIG. 1 and each member's terminal 9 will be described.

  Here, an embodiment in an off-line real space will be described. The real space specifically refers to an internal space such as a retail store such as a convenience store, a restaurant such as a restaurant, a theme park facility, or a facility in a tourist area.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram for explaining the overall configuration of the “real anywhere donation box” as a connection form between the Internet network 1 and each member's terminal 9, and FIG. 3 shows an iBeacon module installed in the store. 4 is a cross-sectional view that explains three-dimensionally the connection between the "real anywhere donation box" with a built-in NFC tag and the member terminal 9 and the real-time position / distance relationship centering on the store that is the development space. The connection form between the iBeacon module and NFC tag built-in “real anywhere donation box” and the member terminal 9 and the content of the specific action for each real-time position / distance relationship with the server equipment and database It is sectional drawing demonstrated together with a form.

  The connection form between the Internet line network 1 and each member's terminal 9 is an example, and a connection form between a terminal such as a normal PC and the Internet line network may be used.

  Two new technologies, NFC (Near Field Communication) and iBeacon, appear in FIGS. This is a short-range wireless communication technology based on real-time location information that has recently attracted a great deal of attention as a trump card for next-generation O2O. All of them are wireless communication technology called Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), a power-saving Bluetooth technology. It has been used as a standard in mobile terminals that have been rapidly spreading in recent years, such as smartphones and tablet terminals, so that a wide variety of marketing approaches are possible. It is also attracting attention for its simplicity. In this embodiment, the characteristics and advantages of both technologies are used in combination. The two latest technologies will be briefly described as follows.

Features of NFC ・ Wireless communication technology at close range within several centimeters ・ Smart devices compatible with iOS7 or later and Android4.3 or later ・ Communication by actions such as “holding” or “touching”
・ Compatible with online payment ・ Very attractive point is very attractive
Features of iBeacon ・ Wireless communication technology utilizing location information within several tens of meters ・ Smart device support for iOS7 and later, Android 4.3 and later ・ Detailed location information is accurately grasped `` Get closer to the store '' `` Enter the store '' `` Specify Close to position "
Can be approached according to real-time distance, etc.- Launching apps, displaying specific pages on the web, and making online payments, as well as push distribution of discount coupons and campaign announcements, etc. As shown in Fig. 2, the overall configuration is implemented in an off-line real space, but as in the on-line deployment, the central network is the Internet line network 1, Member's terminal 9 is connected via 3G, 4G, LET, LTE-Advanced, which is scheduled to be provided in 2015, 5G, which is scheduled for 2020, or a WiFi network as an in-store wireless LAN. .

  In addition, there is a store-owned PC 13 in the store, which is connected to the Internet network 1 via the route control device 15. The route control device 15 connected to the PC 13 is a device that implements a wireless communication function (wireless LAN broad band router), transmits WiFi radio waves, and is installed in the store iBeacon01, iBeacon02 A donation box including a plurality of iBeacon modules iBeacon03 and an NFC tag NFC01 is connected to the Internet network 1 and the like via an in-store WiFi wireless LAN.

  Each iBeacon module is connected to the Internet circuit network 1 through a WiFi line in the store, and the distance between each module and the member terminal 9 is measured in real time using the above-mentioned short-range wireless communication technology utilizing BLE in advance according to the distance. The set action is executed for the member terminal 9.

  FIG. 3 shows the location / distance relationship with the iBeacon module 17 and the NFC tag built-in donation box (real anywhere donation box) 19 where the individual processing of the member terminal 9 according to the present embodiment is installed, centering on the store serving as the development space. FIG. 3 is a block diagram that is three-dimensionally explained, and is a cross-sectional view centering on a store with “real donation box anywhere”.

  In FIG. 3, as an example, three iBeacon modules 17 represented by diamonds are installed in the store, and one donation box 19 incorporating an NFC tag indicated by a pentagon is installed in the store in front of the cash register. Has been.

  Member devices 9 such as smartphones and tablets perform wireless communication using BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) with iBeacon module 17 and NFC tag built-in donation box 19 installed in front of the store cash register according to the distance inside and outside the store Perform the appropriate action.

  As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, when the member terminal 9 comes near the store front (about several tens of meters from the iBeacon module), the installed iBeacon01 module performs wireless communication with the member terminal 9, and the module The distance is measured and grasped in real time, and as shown in the first action (A), an E coupon that can be used for discount purchase of a specific product from the store X is pushed to the member terminal 9 and notified.

  Specifically, the iBeacon01 module that has confirmed the member terminal 9 at a distance of several tens of meters from the module instructs the member terminal 9 to distribute the designated E coupon to the tiny bit mail server 7e via the Internet line. E-coupon is distributed.

  Next, the web browser of the member terminal 9 is started by performing communication with the member terminal 9 using the above-mentioned BLE near field wireless communication technology, and the body text of the email in which the received E coupon is described is displayed. To display.

  When the member who saw the received E-coupon enters the store X, the module side confirming the entry from the distance between the member terminal 9 and the iBeacon02 module is now the same as (A), as indicated by (B) In addition, wireless communication is performed with the member terminal 9, a web browser installed in the member terminal 9 is activated, and a guide page (specific URL) of a sales promotion campaign being executed at the store is displayed.

  Further, when the member approaches the product shelf on which the E-coupon target product is displayed, the iBeacon 03 module side performs wireless communication with the member terminal 9 based on the real-time position information, and on the web browser of the member terminal 9, As shown in (C), display a page that introduces detailed information about the E-coupon target product.

  Finally, when a member who has traveled inside the store approaches the cash register at the back of the store, there is a “real anywhere donation box” 19 with a built-in NFC tag 01 in front of the cash register, and the member “holds” the member terminal 9 on the donation box 19. Then, as shown in (D), the NFC tag 01 incorporated in the donation box 19 performs wireless communication with the member terminal 9, and “Like” is received from the dedicated SNS application installed on the member terminal 9. Execute the post. At this time, a small amount of online donation is automatically made through the system as shown in (E).

  The donation box 19 may be a gachette donation box such as a toy as shown in FIG. Characters and gadgets such as toys have the power to jump over borders, languages, cultures and ethnic borders borderlessly.

  Therefore, as shown in Fig. 5, when the NFC tag is built in the body part of the dinosaur-shaped toy T named "Charity Monster" and the smartphone is held over the body part of the gadget, ”, Etc., and the tail is cute and flickering,“ Like! ”To dedicated SNS, etc. Posting and a small amount of online donation are completed at the same time, such as online small amount donation and“ Like ” ! "Can be posted at the same time.

  Next, the overall operation of the small-amount online donation system shown in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the operation of the small online donation system shown in FIG. 7 to 12 are explanatory diagrams of the operation of the small amount online donation system shown in FIG.

  In step 101 of FIG. 6, the user (member if the member has been registered) uses the terminal 9 to authenticate the small amount online donation system in the tiny bit server 7a through the above-mentioned “real anywhere donation box” or the like. , Authentication / registration processing is performed, and in step 102, online donation processing is performed.

  That is, as shown in the block diagram for explaining the operation of the authentication page of the system in FIG. 7, when this system is first accessed, a page P1 during member authentication is displayed on the terminal 9. Here, when the cookie is accessed and it is confirmed that the member is a member, the page automatically moves to the member-dedicated page P3. Here, the member database 7a in the tiny bit server 7 is referred to. If the member data cannot be confirmed by the cookie, the page moves to the page P5 for member registration and member authentication.

  Next, the member in the logout state clicks the login button and moves to the login page P7, inputs the member ID and password, and when the member data is confirmed safely, logs in and moves to the member-dedicated page P3. At this time, if there is an error in the input data, an error screen P11 of the tiny bit server is displayed. An unregistered user clicks the new registration button to move to the member registration page P11 and register a member.

  The basic design of this member registration is different from a general marketing system, and a two-stage member registration system is implemented.

  Users who already have an account with a major SNS service can easily and conveniently register with one click (common name, social login), and all services other than donations with payments can be used. Similarly, it will be a system that can be registered just by entering an email account. This is also limited to donations involving actual payments. Members who have completed simple registration will be able to use all services, including donations with payments, by registering detailed information. Details will be described later.

  On the member's page, you can enjoy and enjoy a wide variety of rare and fresh information about social contribution activities and NPOs (Non-Profit Organizations) that are not available elsewhere, as explained below. You can easily and conveniently make a small online donation to a non-profit organization.

  Social contribution-oriented SNS (social networking service) is positive for content such as documents, images, and videos on the Internet, like “Like!” By Facebook, the largest social networking company in the SNS industry. It is a service that can spread, share and comment within the SNS network where the reaction is closed (popular name: social action).

  However, this service adds a small amount of online donation to the existing social action as a new value, and it becomes a “Like” -linked small amount online donation service. In this way, a permission-based small-scale online donation system (details will be described later) is implemented, and the user can be used with confidence by granting permission to grant permission for online donation settlement. One-click SNS buttons of other companies The introduction of useful functions, point system and user rating system, and other services that are packed with a variety of mechanisms and devices that are rich in gaming and entertainment will renew the concept of the traditional fund-raising service. Users who are interested in these services as user merits register for social contribution-oriented SNS, which is the core of the service.

  Next, the one-click easy registration process will be described. FIG. 8 is a block diagram for explaining the process of the one-click easy registration mechanism.

  As shown in FIG. 8, when performing simple registration, first, the user arbitrarily selects from three accounts, Facebook account, Twitter account, and e-mail address.

  That is, first, a simple registration page P11 of Tiny Bit is displayed to a user who wishes to register as a member. On this page P11, there are three clickable buttons, a Facebook account, a Twitter account, and an email address. The user selects any one of these three and clicks the button to register.

  The user who clicked the Facebook account refers to the Facebook member database 11a, and the user who clicked the Twitter account refers to the Twitter member database 11b.

  Next, when it is confirmed that the member is a member in each member database, the data is transferred to the member database 7a of the tiny bit, the member registration at the tiny bit is completed, and a new membership registration thanks page P13 is displayed.

  Next, the user selects whether to proceed to the top page P15 of the tiny bit or close the page as it is. The user who has selected the transition to the top page P15 displays the tiny bit top page P15 holding the member information. On the top page P15, the accumulated total donation amount, target achievement rate, registered donation destination, donation distribution, number of earned points, etc. of individual members are displayed in real time.

  In this case, a “Go to My Page” button is installed as a guide to the second stage registration, which allows the use of all services by entering detailed information, so that the full service can be used immediately. Keep it. If the member data is not confirmed by referring to the member database of each SNS company, the process proceeds to the tiny bit error page P17.

  In addition, the user who selects the simple registration only with the e-mail address moves to the e-mail address registration page P19 of the tiny bit server 7, and when the e-mail address desired to be registered is input, the information is transferred to the member database 7a, and the member registration completion page Moving to P13, if there is a problem in the input mail address, an error page P17 is displayed.

  The basic structure of the detailed member system at the second stage can be designed in the same manner as a general marketing system, and since the implementation itself is not a characteristic component of the present invention, details are omitted.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 9, the registration process in the member-only “My Page” will be described.

  FIG. 9 is a block diagram illustrating a registration process on a member-dedicated page called “My Page” according to the present embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 9, when a member tries to access a personal page dedicated to each member from a terminal 9, such as a smartphone, tablet, or PC, first, a member authentication page P21 of the tiny bit server is displayed.

  Here, when the cookie is accessed and it is confirmed that the member is a member, the member automatically moves to the member-only TOP page P23. Here, the database 7a is referred to by the member access log. If the member data cannot be confirmed with the cookie, the user moves to the login page P35 and inputs the member ID / password. If the member data is confirmed safely, log in and move to the member-only TOP page P23. If proper login information is not input, an error screen P33 is displayed.

  When the member who has advanced to the member-only TOP page P23 clicks the “My Page” button arranged on the page, the page moves to the individual member-specific My Page P25. This My Page P25 lists the registration information for member information, each donation amount, term setting, target total donation within period, donation destination NPO, donation distribution, etc., and is set for each item. You can register and change the information at any time by clicking the “Register / Change” button.

  Next, when registering or changing the above member information, each donation amount, setting period, total target donation amount within the period, donation destination NPO, donation distribution, etc. "" Button is clicked, and it moves to the registration / change page P27 of my page information.

  Here, necessary registration / change operations are performed, and a “confirm” button is clicked to move to a confirmation page P29 for registration / change contents. When the member who has confirmed the content clicks the “OK” button, a registration / change completion page P31 is displayed. To change the input contents again, click the “Return” button to return to P27. If you do not need to register new information or change existing registration information by simply checking the registration information, click the “Register / Do not change” button to close the page.

  FIG. 10 is a block diagram for explaining the process of switching freely between two modes according to the present embodiment. The mode here refers to the service usage form of the member.

  Members whose payment information or other detailed information has not been registered are limited to using services other than actual payments, and this form of use cannot be made “real donation (with actual payment)” and “virtual donation (actual "Virtual mode" for the sake of convenience.

  In addition, a member who has registered payment information and other detailed information can use all services including actual payment, and this service usage form can be “real donation (with actual payment)”. Real mode ”.

  In this way, when using this service, members are broadly divided into two types, “virtual” and “real”, depending on the registration stage, and the service usage is limited to “virtual donation” without actual payment. ”And“ real mode ”that allows“ real donation ”with actual settlement.

  Members who have registered their detailed information are set to “Real Mode” by default, but are not necessarily limited to using the service in “Real Mode”. You can freely select and use as needed. However, members whose detailed information is not registered are limited to “virtual mode”. As for the mode of service usage, when a member is logged in, the current usage mode can be confirmed by displaying a small icon in the header space of the page.

  As shown in FIG. 10, when a member (member who has registered detailed information) tries to access the website of this embodiment from a terminal 9 such as a smartphone, tablet, or PC in order to change the service use mode, First, the member authentication page P41 of the tiny bit server is displayed. Here, when the cookie is accessed and confirmed to be a member, the member database 7a, the point management database 7b, and the mode management database 7c are referred to. The member who is set to page P43 and “real mode” automatically moves to the member-only TOP page P45.

  In addition, since the mode display icon is placed in the header at the top of each page on the page displayed with the member information retained, the mode can be easily checked as long as the member stays in the service. You can switch modes by simply clicking on the icon. At this time, data exchange is performed at any time in connection with the mode management database.

  If the member data cannot be confirmed with the cookie, the process proceeds to the login page P47, and the member ID / password is entered. If the member data is confirmed safely, the user logs in and proceeds to the member-dedicated TOP pages P43 and P45. If proper login information is not input, an error screen P49 is displayed.

  FIG. 11 is a block diagram for explaining the processing of the permission granting small amount online donation system with the SNS button integration function according to the present embodiment.

  When conducting an electronic fund-raising activity using an electronic donation system that accepts donations widely on a network such as the Internet, the most important issue is how many people know about the existence of the fund-raising activity. The success or failure of recognition expansion is directly linked to the results of fund-raising activities.

  However, whether electronically or realistically, fundraising is not essentially an act of profit-making, and the service of this embodiment is similar to other general fundraising services in that donations from member users to NPOs are made. In particular, as long as the revenue model uses a certain percentage of service usage fees, it is possible to promote awareness even if costs are used, which can be a moral hazard. Therefore, it was necessary to expand recognition by a cost-effective method.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, a small amount of online donation is not a single action as shown below. For example, social actions (like “Like”, comment, share, etc.) for major SNS services can be performed in a lump for the user. It implements highly convenient functions to increase the added value of donation actions. The purpose of adding the SNS summary posting function is to realize the expansion of service recognition without incurring costs.

  The “SNS summary post + small amount online donation” button saves the hassle of posting each SNS for specific content and improves the convenience of the user, but it also greatly improves the click rate of the SNS button, This is a great advantage for SNS companies that suffer from a slow social action rate. In addition, the medium on the button installation side has great benefits such as promoting the acquisition of new users. In this way, the small online donation button with the SNS summary posting function allows users, SNS, and installation media to enjoy specific benefits in three ways, a cost-effective method that traditional fundraising services had It is the decisive factor that realizes the expansion of service awareness. This will be specifically described below.

  As shown in FIG. 11, members first: 1. SNS summary posting by Tiny Bit installed around a wide range of Internet content ranging from information sites, video sharing sites, image sharing sites, etc. to personal blogs. “Small amount online donation” button, 2. “SNS summary post + small amount online donation” button, which resides in an icon form at the top of the web browser that incorporates the file provided as a function expansion document, generally called a toolbar, 3. Use three types of social contribution-oriented SNS Tiny Bit dedicated apps as an online gateway to the service. Also, in the real world space, the service will be accessed using a “real-life donation box” such as a gadget incorporating an NFC tag as the fourth entrance.

  Here, the flow of processing starting from the three entrances as online development will be explained first. When this system is accessed, page P51 during member authentication is displayed. Here, when it is confirmed that the user is a member by accessing the cookie, a page P53 on which a plurality of SNS buttons including the company can be integrated and posted collectively is automatically displayed.

  SNS icons that use the service are automatically generated in descending order of the frequency of use of the service by referring to the access log of each member recorded in the cookie and posting the member at least once in the last three months. The The upper limit is 10 companies. Members can make a batch posting by simply checking the check box under the icon of each SNS company that they normally use. There is also a comment input box for Twitter, a short posting service, and comments can be posted in one batch. For the SNS of the posting destination, record the SNS information selected last time in a cookie and hold it, the next time you use it, the SNS selected last time is checked from the beginning, just click the `` OK '' button, etc. If there is no change, the check box is checked every time, and the specification is saved.

  Specifically, select the SNS to post, check the check box, enter the comment if necessary, and click the "OK" button, donation information to the member database of each SNS company including the specified Tiny Bit (Points) are delivered (posted contents are reflected in the news feeds of the members of each SNS company and friends who follow the members), and the process proceeds to the small amount online donation intention confirmation page P55.

  If you agree to online donation and click the “YES” button, the settlement management information as points will be transferred to TinyBit's point management database 7b, and the accumulated donation, target achievement rate, registered donation list, and donation allocation will be specified. Move to the page P57 for donations that are listed on the website. In this case, a gimmick that automatically reproduces a sound such as “charin” that reminds of a donation action may be activated.

  That is, each user's donation action is handled as point information instead of being actually settled by connecting to the settlement database, and stored in the point management database 7b. Then, as will be described later, after the end of the set period, the user confirms the payment intention, and the actual payment process is performed only for the user who has confirmed the payment intention.

  Therefore, even if a user makes an online donation to an organization or activity that uses the Service and then finds another similar organization or activity in the Service that is more favorable to the user, Since the initial donation has not been settled before the end of the period, it is possible to easily change the donation destination. In addition, even if you donate online to an organization or activity that uses the Fundraising Service, and the economic situation changes and there is no more room for payment, the Payment System will not accept the original Since donations have not been settled, donations can be easily canceled.

  In other words, users can take a variety of donation actions more easily and with peace of mind.

  In addition, when the “Do not donate” button is clicked on the small amount online donation intention confirmation page P55, the page is closed and only the SNS button summarizing service is used.

  On the other hand, if the member data cannot be confirmed even after accessing the cookie after the page P51 during the first member authentication is displayed, that is, if the member is logged out or is not a member, batch posting is possible. A plurality of SNS buttons including the same company on the external appearance of the page P53 are integrated and a page P59 that can be collectively posted is automatically displayed.

  SNS button integration service can be used by logged out members and non-members. When “OK” is finally clicked on the page P59 where batch posting can be made, the screen moves to a tiny bit service introduction page P61 in which three buttons “join”, “do not join”, and “login” are arranged. A member in the logout state clicks the “login” button, enters a member ID and password on the login page P63, and if authenticated, moves to a small amount online donation intention confirmation page P55, as described above.

  If there is an error in the input, an error screen P65 is displayed. When the “Join” button is clicked, the page moves to a new membership application page P67. Clicking the “Don't join” button closes the page and ends the series of processes.

  In the system according to the present embodiment, such small donations are stored in the point database as described above, and are accumulated and organized for each member as information on which payment is based, and connected to the payment database for actual payment. Is not something to do. This is the reason for the “virtual donation”.

  Therefore, the member does not care about the settlement for each donation, but can enjoy the donation as if it were a simulation. In fact, for users who cannot afford to make a donation economically, enjoy as a simulation donation without payment, and participate as a rehearsal exercise or social contribution to participate in "real donation" with payment in the future when there is an economic allowance It can be used as a means to raise knowledge and awareness about activities and is a feature of this service.

  In this embodiment, a lower limit of a certain amount is set in advance for the total amount of online donations within the set period, and in order to perform actual settlement as the user's will after the period ends, the total amount of donations within the period exceeds the lower limit. It must be reached. For example, if the set period is one month, the total amount of donation is 1,000 yen as the lower limit, and donations less than 1,000 yen will be carried over to the next time, regardless of the user's intention to settle, and added up to 1,000 yen It is assumed that the actual settlement can be performed as a user's will only after the set period when the yen becomes more than the end.

  As described above, in this embodiment, for each online donation, a very small amount such as 10 yen or 100 yen per time is realized by implementing a system that handles points as a “virtual donation” without performing actual settlement within the set period. What makes online donations practically possible. Even if the amount of donation per transaction is small, each small amount of donation is accumulated over the course of a certain period of time and settled when it reaches the lower limit, such as 1,000 yen as described above Confirming the will and making the actual payment. By summing small amounts of donations over a certain amount within a certain period, the obstacles to settlement fees that have been an obstacle to credit card settlement are overcome. In this way, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to solve the problem of the conventional online payment system “not compatible with small amount of online donation” and optimize the donation. It is a solution to the second problem.

  In addition, the integrated function of the SNS button according to the present embodiment will not only post to a large SNS, but also to a social contribution-oriented SNS by Tiny Bit management. In this way, this service is a social contribution action called “small online donation” for SNS postings as a means of expressing positive emotions such as “Like” for texts (articles), images, and videos on the Internet. Is added and linked as a new value.

  In addition, the integration function of the SNS button is as described above: 1. Users 2. SNS companies 3. Each installed medium gives the benefits of three parties. What is implemented as being very effective for user acquisition. Therefore, it is not limited to this SNS button integration function as long as it is a function that gives the benefits of tripartite and is effective for expanding recognition of the donation service and acquiring new users without incurring costs, such as `` Omikuji '' It is possible to implement completely different information provision functions such as “Forecast for the next 2 hours” and “Weather forecast for the next 2 hours”.

  However, in order to implement such information provision functions, it is necessary to cooperate with external providers. Click frequency of donation button, which is critically important as an entrance to the Service from online = To increase the frequency of use of the service, it is desirable to provide users with high interest and high-quality information with high variability As with the SNS button integration function, the implementation of the above information provision function is extremely effective for expanding awareness of the fundraising service and acquiring new users with minimal cost 1. User 2. SNS companies 3. Installation media It gives the benefits of the tripartite.

  Next, “virtual donation” is actually made “real donation” with payment, as will be described below, based on a payment intention confirmation mail received after the end of the set period.

  That is, returning to the flowchart of FIG. 6, it is determined in step 103 whether or not the predetermined setting period has ended. If the predetermined setting period has ended, donation settlement processing is performed in step 105.

  The predetermined setting period referred to here is a donation acceptance deadline set in advance for each donation. In this predetermined setting period, default values and information are preset in the service management / operation side in the initial state together with the donation amount for each time, the donation target amount within the setting period, the donation destination and the donation distribution, and the like. Each donation amount is 10 yen once, the set period is 1 month, the target amount is 3,000 yen, the recipient is the Japan UNICEF Association, and if there is only one organization, the total amount will be the Japan UNICEF Association. The details of the default settings will be finalized after repeated examination before actual service provision. In any case, the user can start using the service immediately based on the default settings already at the time of enrollment.

  The purpose of this is to make it possible to immediately use all services that don't require donations with actual payments without the need for detailed information registration for users who have joined using one-click easy registration. . Among them, in the real development centered on gadgets with built-in NFC tags, Charity Monster “Gao” made online donation (virtual donation) instantly with one click for unregistered users easily and conveniently. Screaming, "and let them experience a series of movements that flutter their tails. If it takes a lot of time and time to register for the first time, users interested in monster-type gadgets will be less interested. When the user is interested, the biggest opportunity for membership registration is to make the most of this opportunity. By introducing default settings, the service can be started at the same time as the registration is completed.

  The greatest feature of the present invention is that it gives each member an option including cancellation regarding the final decision as to whether or not to actually settle the small amount donation on-line made by the member.

  Every small online donation made within the set period is treated as a “virtual donation” by handling it as a point instead of making a settlement each time, and the final confirmation of the intention of settlement is registered immediately before settlement after the period is over. Execute by sending e-mail to members. Immediately before settlement after this period, confirmation of payment intention is confirmed by sending e-mail to all registered members. At this time, the member is given an option including “not settled”, and gives the authority to grant permission to the service operating side operator to settle, which is called “permission settlement” in the present invention. .

  Opening the final settlement intention confirmation email, clicking on the URL described in the text, proceeding to the settlement content information page, and then clicking the collective “don't donate” button to refuse settlement processing without intention to settle Not only the user but also the payment intention confirmation e-mail is not opened, or even if it is opened, the URL is not clicked and as a result it does not proceed to the payment information page, it is actually said that `` payment permission could not be confirmed '' Will not be settled.

  Only the member users who have clicked the “Donate” button set up on the settlement intention confirmation page and have clearly indicated the intention to permit settlement are eligible for settlement processing. Making the confirmation of “Member ’s intention to donate” a major principle of settlement is a mechanism and element that is essential for ensuring a sense of security for the Service.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 12, the details of the determination process of whether or not to perform the settlement process in step 105 of FIG. 6 and the settlement process of step 107 will be described.

  FIG. 12 is a block diagram for explaining the “permission settlement” process according to this embodiment.

  As shown in Fig. 12, after completing the set period, Tiny Bit will receive a final settlement intention confirmation email M from all registered members, and when the opened member clicks a specific URL in the text, they will be authenticated using cookies. If the member information is confirmed safely, the settlement guide page P71 is displayed.

  If the member who clicked the “Next” button on the payment guide page P71 has already registered and distributed a donation recipient NPO, the accumulated donation total, target achievement rate, donation recipient NPO and donation distribution are listed. The settlement information confirmation page P73 is entered. Check the contents on the payment information confirmation page P73, and if there is no change in the donation destination or distribution, click the “Do not change” button to move to the payment intention, final confirmation / confirmation page P75, and click the “Donate” button. The information is transferred to the payment database 7d for the first time by clicking, and the process proceeds to the payment thank you page P77. At this time, a mechanism may be adopted in which a gimmick is activated to inform the user that the donation has been confirmed, such as “Charain”.

  If “donate” is clicked on the final confirmation / confirmation page P75, a page P79 for guiding the cancellation of the settlement is displayed, and the contribution within the period is not settled and is not reflected in the display of the donation amount.

  In addition, when the “Next” button in the payment information page P71 is clicked, if the donation recipient NPO or donation distribution is not registered, the total donation amount and target achievement rate are displayed, but the donation recipient NPO and donation Regarding the distribution, the process proceeds to a blank settlement information confirmation page P83. Clicking the “Register” button in this page moves to the donation destination registration / change page P81. If the registration is completed, the process proceeds to the settlement intention final confirmation / confirmation page P75, and the following processing is performed.

  Finally, if the member information is not confirmed by the first authentication using Coolie, the process proceeds to the login page P85 where the member ID and password input boxes are arranged. If the member information is confirmed safely, the settlement information page P71 is displayed. The following processing is performed as described above. If the input is not appropriate, an error page P87 is displayed. This completes the description of the specific processing of “permission settlement”.

  In short, this service provides a small “online fund-raising” service for registered NPOs for members of the general public.

  Not only online, but payment of goods and services cannot be refused or canceled once it has been processed. It is common sense for payment procedures in both on and off spaces.

  For “purchase” of general goods and services, such settlement is a very convenient and useful system, but there is no problem with the act based on the good intentions of 100% actors, such as “donation”. . “Donation” is not a product or service, but is the best of charity. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure voluntaryness for the actors regarding the decision to “donate” or “don't donate”. Don't be forced to donate.

  However, in the conventional online donation service, once the “donate” button is clicked, it cannot be canceled later and the settlement process is performed for any reason.

  Under such circumstances, it cannot be said that it is optimized for charitable donations and should be improved as much as possible. Otherwise, it ’s not safe for users to donate online. In the payment of this service, the conventional online payment system is improved by granting multiple permissions to the user and ensuring voluntaryness as follows.

  That is, at the time of each online donation, when clicking and making a small amount of online donation, whether or not to donate to the member user is confirmed. In this way, it is possible to make a small amount of online donation substantially by implementing the above-mentioned “virtual donation”. On the other hand, the above-mentioned “permission settlement” implementation sufficiently secures the voluntary nature of the donator. It solves the two major problems of the traditional online payment system and optimizes it for the charitable act of donation.

  Member users can set and change the amount of “virtual donation” each time on their My Page in advance. In this way, the member user arbitrarily sets the target donation amount within the period, and then sets the donation amount each time. Each donation amount can be set or changed 100% by member users in increments of 1 yen or more. In this service, when each user registers for membership, first of all, the total amount of donations within the period and the amount of each donation are set on the My Page dedicated to each member, and then a list of favorite NPOs is created through the use of the service. The settlement rate for each donor will also be set arbitrarily.

  There are two stages to registering for this service. If you have an SNS account, you can easily register with one click, and even if you do not have to enter your email address, you can register for membership.

  At the end of the set period, each time the set period is completed, a payment confirmation email is sent to all member users, and the cumulative donation amount and target achievement rate within the period are provided along with a list of donations, Encourage confirmation of final settlement details and confirm settlement intention.

  The member user who clicked the URL in the email is guided to the payment information confirmation page in the “My Page” dedicated to each member through member authentication, and their donation information (cumulative donation during the period) Encourage confirmation of the total amount, goal achievement rate, and list of donations for each recipient. Users who have not registered their donations are informed that donation registration is required for actual payments and encourages them to register. However, donation registration is optional and settlement is done without registering the donation. It is also possible to choose not to do it.

  On the other hand, for member users who have already completed donation destination registration, a list of the registered donation destinations and the donation rate for each donation destination is displayed. At this time, it becomes a specification that can easily add or delete registered donations and other changes. The donation list is the same as the list of NPOs that member users added to the favorites list during the period. Changing the registered donation means changing or updating the favorite donation list (NPO). When there are two or more registered donors, the donation ratio is set in advance for each NPO. This is also arbitrarily set by the member user when entering the favorite list. Member users who have confirmed the information have not changed their registered donation list and donation rate, and if they finally agree to the settlement, click the "Settlement" button and the final settlement will be the first time at this point Determine. It is also possible to choose to cancel the settlement without finally agreeing to the settlement of the donation. By clicking the “Do not settle” button, you can display the final intention.

  In this way, the member user can determine whether or not to make an online donation each time, and can also determine whether or not to finally settle at the end of the period. Double check each individual donation action within the period. At the time of each donation action, confirm the intention of “virtual donation” that is not directly linked to settlement, and then after the end of the period, actually settle the settlement online for the entire “virtual donation” within the period, The will to confirm “real donation” will be confirmed. This member user can arbitrarily choose 100% after the end of the period, regardless of how many times “virtual donation” is made within the period, and no matter what the total amount of “virtual donation” is. This structure is the core of the permission donation system.

  Detailed donation information such as a favorite list created by individual member users is called “social contribution portfolio” in this service, and it literally reflects the individuality of only one individual member user in the world. It becomes. If you publish this portfolio on the SNS within this service, you can share with users around the world who are following each other, comment on each other, send likes, etc. to other friends on the SNS It can also diffuse.

  You can connect with users around the world based on the “Social Contribution Portfolio” that reflects your unique personality in the world created by this service, and you can develop and expand awareness of social contribution.
