  Furthermore, the account confirmation period 506 may be one that can be registered for weekdays and holidays. For example, in the confirmation period 506 of the account whose name information 502 is “user 3” in FIG. 5, the confirmation period 506 is restricted by work, classes, etc., for example, the confirmation period 506 between 9:00 and 19:00 (for example, 4 hours) ) Registered. On the other hand, on holidays, there is no restriction due to work, classes, etc., so the confirmation period 506 between 9:00 and 23:00 is set short (for example, 2 hours).

  For example, as described above, it is desirable that the information of the confirmation period 506 can be flexibly set according to the time zone, day of the week, holiday / weekday, and the like.

  The information of the confirmation period 506 may be automatically set by the confirmation period setting unit 407, or is registered (set) by the confirmation account management unit 408 from each account. There may be.

  The confirmation result 507 stores the determination result of the safety of the user related to each account by the confirmation information determination unit 406. In the example of FIG. 5, “◯” in the confirmation result 507 indicates that there is no problem in the safety of the user (for example, the user 1). In addition, “x” in the confirmation result 507 indicates that the safety of the user (for example, the user 2) cannot be confirmed or is estimated to be problematic. Further, “Δ” in the confirmation result 508 indicates that confirmation of safety, such as a response waiting state, is being confirmed with respect to confirmation information for inquiring about the safety of the user (for example, the user 3).

  The confirmation date and time 508 indicates the date and time when the information of the confirmation result 507 was last updated.

  Note that the account information 409 shown in FIG. 5 is merely an example. The account information 409 stores various information related to the account in association with the unique information 501 for uniquely specifying the account.

(Activity information)

  Preferably, the notification screen 801 includes information or link information 805 for contacting a contact person such as an e-mail address and a telephone number registered in advance by the user associated with the first account. By selecting this link information 805, the user of the second account who has seen the notification screen 801 can easily contact the user of the first account.

  For example, when the user of the second account has contacted the user of the first account and confirmed that there is no problem with safety, the user selects the “YES” button 806 to switch to the first account. Answer that there is no problem with the safety of the user concerned. In this case, the application unit 413 of the information terminal 102 transmits (replies) response information indicating that there is no problem in the safety of the user related to the first account to the management server 101.

  On the other hand, if the user of the second account has contacted the user of the first account, for example, but cannot confirm that there is no problem with safety, the user selects the “NO” button 806, Answer that the user's safety related to the first account cannot be confirmed. In this case, for example, the application unit 413 of the information terminal 102 transmits (replies) response information indicating that the safety of the user related to the first account cannot be confirmed to the management server 101.

  Note that the notification screen 801 in FIG. 8 is merely an example. The notification screen 801 may be anything as long as it can request the user of the second account to confirm the safety of the user related to the first account and answer the safety confirmation result.

  Here, returning to FIG. 7, the description of the flowchart will be continued.

  In step S703, the management server 101 has received a response (response information) to the confirmation information notified to one or more second accounts in step S702 within a predetermined period (for example, within 30 minutes). Judging. If one or more pieces of response information are received in step S703, the management server 101 shifts the processing to step S707. On the other hand, if one or more pieces of response information cannot be received in step S703, the management server 101 shifts the processing to step S704.

  Note that the processing in the next steps S704 and S705 is an example of an option when a predetermined service provided by the management server 101 includes a message transmission / reception function. For example, when one or more pieces of response information cannot be received in step S703, the management server 101 may end the process.

  In step S704, the confirmation account management unit 408 of the management server 101 extracts another confirmation account (second account) based on the message transmission / reception history included in the activity information 410. For example, the confirmation account management unit 408 extracts, as another confirmation account, one or more accounts having a large number of messages transmitted (or received) by the first account within a predetermined period. Alternatively, the confirmation account management unit 408 may be one that extracts one or more accounts that have recently transmitted (or received) a message as another confirmation account.

  In step S705, the confirmation information notification unit 405 of the management server 101 notifies the confirmation information extracted in step S704 of confirmation information for requesting confirmation of the safety of the user related to the first account.

  In step S706, the management server 101 determines whether or not an answer (response information) to the confirmation information notified to another second account in step S705 has been received within a predetermined period (for example, within 30 minutes). In step S706, when one or more pieces of response information are received, the management server 101 shifts the processing to step S707. On the other hand, if one or more pieces of response information cannot be received in step S706, the management server 101 ends the process.

  In step S707, the confirmation information determination unit 406 of the management server 101 determines the safety of the user related to the first account based on the received one or more response information. For example, the confirmation information determination unit 406 determines that there is no problem with the safety of the user related to the first account when the received one or more response information includes information indicating that there is no problem with the safety.

  As described above, the management server 101 according to the present embodiment records the activity of the first account, and if there is no activity in the first account over a predetermined period, one or more second accounts registered in advance.

Extract an estimated third account. For example, when the user of the first account creates a new account with different unique information 501, the candidate account extraction unit 901 extracts a new account of the first account.

  A method for extracting a new account is not particularly limited. For example, a new account can be extracted based on the similarity of the name information 502 and the image information 503 registered in the account information 409.

  For example, when the same profile image is registered in the image information 503 with two accounts, it can be estimated that the two accounts are accounts of the same user. Alternatively, facial feature information (face outline, shape of eyes, nose, mouth, and relative position, etc.) is extracted from profile images of two accounts with similar name information 502, and the extracted feature information matches. Alternatively, when the degree of similarity is equal to or higher than a predetermined similarity, it may be estimated that the two accounts are the same user account.

  Alternatively, the candidate account extraction unit 901 may extract the third account based on common information included in the account information 409, for example, information such as a contact information, an address, an email address, and a friend relationship. good.

  Further, the candidate account extraction unit 901 may extract (specify) the third account by causing one or more second accounts to select the extracted user.

  Alternatively, the third account may be extracted by comparing the activity stop date / time of the first account and the activity start date / time of the third account.

  In this embodiment, the confirmation information notification unit 405 uses confirmation information for inquiring whether or not the user of the first account is the same user as the user of the extracted third account. The second account registered in the account 505 is notified.

  In addition, the confirmation information notification unit 405 sends the confirmation information to one or more second accounts before sending the confirmation information to the first account, the address registered in the account information of the first account, or SMS. A message for confirming whether or not the message can be transmitted to the confirmation destination may be transmitted.

  Further, when the confirmation information notifying unit 405 cannot confirm the safety of the first account, the confirmation information notifying unit 405 further adds information (for example, location information of the first account acquired last, It is also possible to send the other party who sent the message last.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the confirmation information determination unit 406 receives response information that is a response to the confirmation information from the second account, and based on the received response information, the first account and the third account Determine whether the account user is the same user. For example, the response information includes information indicating whether the user related to the first account and the user related to the third account are the same user. Further, the confirmation information determination unit 406 determines that the user related to the first account and the user related to the third account are the same user based on the majority of information included in the received one or more response information. Judge whether there is.

  The access right granting unit is configured to access the first account to the third account when it is determined that the user related to the third account is the same user as the user related to the first account. Information (access right). This access right includes, for example, a right for deleting the first account, a right for acquiring necessary information from the first account, and the like.

  Preferably, an expiration date is set for this access right. As a result, the management server 101 can delete the first account after the third account has acquired necessary information after the expiration date.

  Note that the candidate account extraction unit 901 and the access right granting unit 902 are realized, for example, by a program operating on the CPU 201 in FIG.
