Description

  The present invention relates to a communication device, a communication system, and a communication program. In particular, the present invention relates to a communication device, a communication system, and a communication program used for them for a user to communicate with other users.

  In recent years, with the rapid spread of electronic devices such as smartphones, communication between people is performed on the Internet by a social networking service (SNS) or the like. In such an SNS, even if information is posted, there is a case where no one responds or there is no reply even if a message is transmitted. For this reason, even if the community participates anonymously, there is a risk of human relations, which may lead to deterioration of human relations.

  Further, an information processing system that forms a community in a range most suitable for a user at that time without taking time or labor is known (for example, Patent Document 1). Such conventional systems only provide users with community information such as URLs and email addresses. Therefore, the user must perform an operation such as accessing the provided URL. Therefore, when the user wants to communicate with another person, the user cannot communicate in real time.

  On the other hand, in the conventional system, I do not know how I think from the person I communicate with. For this reason, the problem of deterioration of human relations as described above often occurs.

  Hereinafter, a communication system, a communication device, and a communication program of the present invention will be described in detail based on the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings.

  For convenience of explanation, the upper side in FIGS. 6, 8, 11, 13, 18, 28, 33 is described as “upper”, the lower side is “lower”, the left side is “left”, and the right side is “right”. Do.

<First Embodiment>
1. Communication System First, the communication system according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically illustrating a communication system according to the first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of the communication system according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a data table stored in the storage unit of the server apparatus shown in FIG. 4, and FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a personality type compatibility degree table stored in the storage unit of the server apparatus shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the communication system 1 of the present invention includes a server device 2 and an information processing device (information terminal) 4 that is communicably connected via a network 3. In this communication system 1, the server device 2 matches a user with a person with a personality, a person with a hobby, a person with a similar generation, and the user and the other person (another user) It is a system that can be used to enjoy real-time communication (hereinafter also referred to as “chat”).

  However, the communication system 1 of the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to any other cases as long as the user and other users can communicate with each other. For example, the present invention can be applied to a battle game, SNS, e-mail, Internet telephone, Internet TV, and the like performed via a network.

  Hereinafter, the configuration of each unit of the communication system 1 will be described in order. Although the communication system 1 can include a plurality of information terminals 4, only two information terminals 4A and 4B are shown in FIGS.

<Server device 2>
The server device (communication device) 2 has a function of controlling the information terminals 4A and 4B. As shown in FIG. 2, the server device 2 includes a communication unit 21, a data acquisition unit 22, a storage unit 23, a matching unit 24, a communication unit 25, an evaluation unit 26, a management unit 27, and information provision. Unit 28, input unit 29, display unit 210, and control unit 211. These units are connected to each other via a data bus so that they can communicate with each other.

(Communication unit 21)
The communication unit 21 has a function of communicating with the information terminals 4A and 4B via the network 3. The communication unit 21 may be in any form as long as it can communicate with the information terminals 4A and 4B via the network 3, for example, a network interface having a communication protocol such as TCP / IP.

(Data acquisition unit 22)
The data acquisition unit 22 has a function of acquiring any of a plurality of data via a network or by input from a user. Such data includes data obtained by the user using various contents and user data. The data obtained by the user using various contents includes data such as the user's contents use history data. The user data includes, for example, profile data, user browsing history data obtained from a web browser cookie, data associated with a user ID, and the like. The user data is not limited to these data, and includes various data related to the user.

  When using the communication system 1 of the present invention, the user inputs his data to the information terminal 4. Thereby, the data acquisition unit 22 acquires data from the information terminal 4. Moreover, the data acquisition part 22 can also acquire the above data via a network according to a request from a user. The acquired data is stored in order in a data table of the storage unit 23 described later. As a result, user registration is performed.

  The data acquisition unit 22 acquires narrowing-down data for narrowing down other users before the matching unit 24 matches the user with other users. This narrowing-down data is classified into two according to the type of data. The first narrowing-down data is the user's browsing history obtained from the user's name (nickname), date of birth, gender, generation, address (residence), personality type, compatibility, etc. profile data, web browser cookies, etc. Data, data associated with the user ID, user content usage history data, and the like. The second narrowing data includes profile data such as icons, hobbies, worries, consultation items, special skills, blood types, occupations, occupations, family composition, school of origin, language, fortune-telling information, races, and the like. Other users are narrowed down by multiplying the first narrowing data, the second narrowing data, or the first narrowing data and the second narrowing data.

  For example, when the user wants to chat with another user who has the same hobby as the same generation, the data acquisition unit 22 acquires “generation” and “hobby” as narrowing-down data according to a request from the user. In addition, when the user wants to chat with another user having a good personality, the data acquisition unit 22 acquires the “personality type” of the user as narrowing data.

  In the case of matching, when data is not stored in the storage unit 23, the data acquisition unit 22 acquires the data and the narrowing data from the information terminal 4 by user input. Moreover, the data acquisition part 22 can also acquire various data from various websites via a network according to a user's request.

(Storage unit 23)
The storage unit 23 has a function of storing the above-described user data. The storage unit 23 stores user data in association with ID numbers in the order of user registration. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the storage unit 23 stores a plurality of data (first data, second data) of a plurality of users in a data table in order of ID numbers.

  Referring to FIG. 3, the cat is first registered as a user and assigned an ID number 1. The storage unit 23 associates the cat's personality type “A bottom type”, gender “female”, generation “20s”, address “Tokyo”, and hobby “shopping” acquired by the data acquisition unit 22 with ID number 1. And remember.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, Mr. Wanko is registered as the 103rd user and is given an ID number 103. The storage unit 23 associates the personality type “line II type”, sex “female”, generation “20s”, address “Tokyo”, and hobby “game” acquired by the data acquisition unit 22 with the ID number 103. And remember.

  Thus, the storage unit 23 stores the user data and the ID number in association with each other. And whenever the data acquisition part 22 acquires data from the information terminal 4, the memory | storage part 23 updates a data table. Note that the storage unit 23 also stores a title, a matching history, the number of points, a privilege, and the like in association with the ID number. These will be described in detail later.

  In addition, the storage unit 23 stores a plurality of types of personality types into which user personalities are classified. The memory | storage part 23 memorize | stores the compatibility table shown in FIG. 4 which shows what degree of compatibility (compatibility) is good with one personality type with another personality type. For example, in the compatibility table shown in FIG. 4, the A bottom type personality type is 25% compatible with the B bottom type personality type, the 30% compatibility type with the line I type personality type, and 60%. The degree of compatibility shows good compatibility with the type II personality type. By storing such a compatibility level table, the matching unit 24 described below can match a user with another user based on the compatibility level of the personality type.

(Matching unit 24)
The matching unit 24 randomly extracts other users from the storage unit 23 or stores other users having data (second data) having a predetermined relationship with the data for narrowing down acquired by the data acquisition unit 22. The data is extracted from the unit 23, and matching between the user and other users is performed.

  Hereinafter, the case where a user and another user are matched using the data for narrowing down is demonstrated. FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the matching unit of the server apparatus shown in FIG. 2, and FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the matching state of the communication system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the matching unit 24 includes an extracting unit 241, a user specifying unit 242, and a matching information providing unit 243.

  The extraction unit 241 extracts, from the data table of the storage unit 23, other users having data having a predetermined relationship with the user narrowing data acquired by the data acquisition unit 22 during matching.

  For example, the data acquisition unit 22 acquires the data for narrowing down the generation “20s” and the sex “female” in response to a request from Mr. Wanko with ID number 103 shown in FIG. In this case, the extraction unit 241 refers to the data table shown in FIG. 3 and determines whether the cat of ID number 1 having the data of generation “20s” and gender “female” (predetermined relationship) and ID number 55 Extract the bastards. At this point, only one user may be extracted.

  Further, at the request of Wanko, the data acquisition unit 22 acquires data for narrowing down the hobby “game”. In this case, the extraction unit 241 can also extract other users having hobby “game” data (second data) by referring to the data table shown in FIG. 3.

  Further, at the request of Mr. Wanko, the data acquisition unit 22 acquires data for narrowing down the personality type “line II type”. In this case, the extraction unit 241 refers to the compatibility table shown in FIG. The extraction unit 241 identifies a row corresponding to the personality type “line II type” from the “personal type” column of the compatibility table (the lowermost row in FIG. 4). Then, the extraction unit 241 extracts the “A bottom type” having the highest compatibility 60% (predetermined relationship) in the “line II type” row. Next, the extraction unit 241 refers to the data table shown in FIG. 3 and extracts the cat with ID number 1 having the personality type “A bottom type” data. Here, only the cat is extracted, but a plurality of other users may be extracted.

  The degree of compatibility is not limited to the compatibility (%) between personality types, and may be anything else. The extracting unit 241 is not limited to extracting the personality type having the highest compatibility level, and may extract the personality type having the smallest compatibility level or a preset compatibility level. Further, the extraction unit 241 may extract personality types at random.

  In this manner, the extraction unit 241 extracts other users that should be matched with the user according to the user narrowing data.

  The user specifying unit 242 specifies a partner to be matched from other users extracted by the extracting unit 241.

  For example, as described above, when there is only one cat who is extracted based on the narrowing data such as generation and gender, the user specifying unit 242 will set the cat as a partner to be matched with the dog. Is identified.

  Further, as described above, when only one other cat is extracted based on the personality type, the user specifying unit 242 specifies the cat as a partner to be matched with the dog.

  On the other hand, there may be a plurality of other users extracted based on narrowing-down data such as generation and sex. In other words, as described above, there are cases where the other users extracted by the extraction unit 241 are two persons, “Kaba-san” having an ID number 55, in addition to the cat-san. In such a case, the user specifying unit 242 can specify a partner (for example, a cat) to be randomly matched based on the random number table.

  There may be a plurality of other users extracted based on the personality type narrowing data. That is, as described above, in addition to the other user extracted by the extraction unit 241, there may be three people, “Rabbit” with ID number 48 (not shown) and “Kirin” with ID number 145. In such a case, the user specifying unit 242 specifies a partner (for example, a cat) to be randomly matched based on the random number table.

  In addition, the user specifying unit 242 multiplies the narrowing data (first narrowing data) such as generation and gender with the personality type narrowing data (first narrowing data) to give other users It can also be specified. Taking the case described above as an example, the user specifying unit 242 multiplies the cat extracted from the generation and gender narrowing data and the cat extracted from the personality type narrowing data, “Neko-san” extracted in common for both is specified as another user.

  The matching is preferably performed based on a personality type compatibility table and a random number table. When based on the compatibility table, the user is preferably matched with other users having the highest compatibility at a rate of 1 to 30%, and more preferably matched at a rate of 15 to 25%. Moreover, when based on a random number table | surface, it is preferable that a user is randomly matched with the ratio of 70 to 99% with another user, and it is more preferable that it is matched with the ratio of 75 to 85% at random.

  In this way, the user specifying unit 242 specifies another user who should be matched with the user, and matches the user with the other user.

(Matching information provider 243)
The matching information providing unit 243 provides data of the user and other users specified by the user specifying unit 242 to the information terminals 4A and 4B.

  For example, the matching information providing unit 243 provides data such as the personality type, name, sex, generation, and address of the matched partner “Neko-san”, the degree of compatibility, and the like to the information terminal 4A of the user “Wanko-san”. As shown in FIG. 6, the display unit 44 of the information terminal 4 </ b> A displays, in order from the top of the screen, a title “ranking number 1 with many impulse purchases”, a personality type “A bottom type”, an icon, and a name “Nekosan”. , “Sex”, generation “20s”, and address “Tokyo” are displayed. The display unit 44 displays the degree of compatibility with the cat “60%” together with the pie chart at the center of the screen. Further, the display unit 44 displays a “chat start” icon at the bottom of the screen.

  On the other hand, the matching information providing unit 243 provides data such as personality type, name, sex, generation, and address of the user “Wanko-san”, the degree of compatibility, and the like to the information terminal 4B of the matching partner “Neko-san”. As shown in FIG. 6, the display unit 44 of the information terminal 4 </ b> B has, in order from the top of the screen, a title “who is hated by people”, a personality type “line II type”, a name “Wanko-san”, gender “Women”, generation “20s”, and address “Tokyo” are displayed. The display unit 44 displays the compatibility degree with the dog “60%” together with the pie chart at the center of the screen. Further, the display unit 44 displays a “chat start” icon at the bottom of the screen.

  The data provided to the information terminal 4 is not limited to the data described above, and may be any data as long as it is data stored in the data table. In the present embodiment, the partner's history or the like is not provided to the information terminal 4, but may be provided.

  Note that this “chat start” icon is not always necessary. The communication system 1 of the present invention can also immediately start chatting by specifying and matching other users by the user specifying unit 242.

  Further, the matching information providing unit 243 provides matching history information to the data table of the storage unit 23. That is, when matching between a user and another user is established, the matching information providing unit 243 provides the matching history information to the data table. In this case, the storage unit 23 stores the matching history information in association with the ID number.

  For example, as described above, when the matching between the cat and the dog is established, the matching information providing unit 243 sets the ID number “103” of the dog in the “matching history” in the row of the ID number 1 of the data table. provide. On the other hand, the matching information providing unit 243 provides the cat ID number “1” to the “matching history” in the row of the ID number 103 of the data table. As shown in FIG. 3, the storage unit 23 stores the matching history information in data and updates the data table.

  Thereby, when the user specifying unit 242 refers to the data table, the user specifying unit 242 can refer to the matching history so that the dog and the cat are not matched again. Also, the matching probability between the dog and the cat can be lowered. In other words, it is possible to make it difficult to perform matching again so that the user and another user with an ID number having a matching history are not matched again. As a result, it becomes difficult to specify the chat partner, and the user can be further freed from the concerns of human relationships.

  As described above, the matching unit 24 matches a user with another user, and the user cannot select a partner (another user) to be matched.

  As described above, the case where the user is matched with another user based on the narrowing data has been described. However, the matching unit 24 automatically matches the user with another user without being based on the narrowing data from the user. May be. In this case, the matching unit 24 has a learning function that can automatically perform matching without a request from the user. The matching unit 24 learns the number of points, the matching history, the conversation history so far, the current situation, etc. as the narrowing data, and performs matching. This eliminates the need for the user to input data for narrowing down, so that real-time communication can be provided more easily.

  Moreover, the matching part 24 may match a user and another user completely at random. In this case, since it is not possible to predict what kind of partner to match, it is possible to give the user a sense of tension and excitement. As described above, perfect random matching is preferably performed based on a random number table. The matching unit 24 may match a user with another user based on both the matching based on the above-described narrowing data and the random matching.

  When the user determines that he / she does not want to chat with another user displayed on the display unit 44 of the information terminal 4A, the matching unit 24 cancels the request by the user so that the matching can be canceled. Can also be received. In this case, the matching unit 24 cancels matching between the user and another user.

(Communication Department 25)
The communication unit 25 provides communication between the user and other users. FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the communication unit of the server apparatus shown in FIG. 2, and FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the communication state of the communication system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  As illustrated in FIG. 7, the communication unit 25 includes a communication execution unit 251, a communication management unit 252, and a communication information providing unit 253.

  The communication execution unit 251 executes a chat between the user and another user based on the input of the “chat start” icon (FIG. 6) by the user. That is, the communication execution unit 251 activates the information terminal 4A and the information terminal 4B after receiving the start instruction information of the user or another user.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, when Mr. Wanko inputs the character “What are you doing now?” By touching the “character” at the bottom left of the display unit 44 of the information terminal 4 </ b> A, the display unit 44. The icon A of the dog and the character information “What are you doing now?” A1 are displayed on the upper left of the screen. At the same time, the character information A1 is displayed together with the icon A of the dog at the upper right of the display unit 44 of the information terminal 4B of the cat.

  Next, when the cat inputs the character “working” by touching “character” at the bottom left part of the display unit 44 of the information terminal 4B, the icon B of the cat and the character information are displayed on the left side of the display unit 44. “Working” B1 is displayed. At the same time, the character information B1 is displayed along with the cat icon B on the right side of the display unit 44 of the dog information terminal 4A.

  Furthermore, when Wanko touches the “S” at the bottom left of the display unit 44 of the information terminal 4A and inputs the image information (stamp) A2 to the information terminal 4A, the icon A is displayed at the lower left of the display unit 44, Image information A2 is displayed. At the same time, the image information A2 is displayed together with the icon A of the dog at the lower right portion of the display unit 44 of the cat information terminal 4B.

  In this way, the communication execution unit 251 executes a chat between the dog and the cat. Note that the communication means may be any kind of means such as characters, voice, images, and moving images.

  The communication management unit 252 manages message information such as character information, image information, audio information, and moving image information during chat executed by the communication execution unit 251 as a communication history between the user and other users. The communication management unit 252 can manage this communication history for a certain period and then delete it.

  Moreover, the communication management part 252 can manage the time which can be chatted so that chat may be complete | finished in predetermined time. The time during which the chat can be performed is not particularly limited, but the communication management unit 252 can set a time such as 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 15 minutes. In such a case, the communication management unit 252 may provide information on the remaining time to the information terminal 4. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, “˜1 minute remaining” is displayed on the information terminals 4A and 4B, and the user and other users can be alerted of the end of the chat. Then, when the predetermined period comes, the communication management unit 252 ends the chat.

  Further, the communication management unit 252 can manage message information that can be chatted so that the chat ends when the message information exceeds a predetermined capacity. The amount of message information that can be used for chatting is not particularly limited. For example, if one message transmission by the user is one chat, text information is 100 to 200 chats, image information is 50 to 100 chats, voice information is 25 to 50 chats, and video information. For example, the message information amount can be set for 10 to 20 chats. In such a case, the communication management unit 252 can provide the remaining message information amount, for example, “image information: remaining 10 chats” to the information terminal 4. When the predetermined message information amount is reached, the communication management unit 252 ends the chat.

  The communication management unit 252 can also manage the communication execution unit 251 so as to end the chat by combining the predetermined time and the amount of message information. Further, the communication management unit 252 can end the chat without providing the chat end notice information such as the remaining time information and the remaining message information amount described above.

  The communication manager 252 can extend the chat at the request of the user. This extension function is executed according to the number of user points described later. For example, when the user touches “extension” at the bottom of the display unit 44 of the information terminal 4 </ b> A shown in FIG. 8, the communication management unit 252 receives the extension information. At this time, when the other user also touches “delay” on the display unit 44 of the information terminal 4B and the communication management unit 252 receives the extension information from the other user, the communication management unit 252 Can continue. In other words, when the communication management unit 252 receives the extension information from only one of the user and the other user, the chat is not extended and ends. After receiving the extension information from the user, the communication management unit 252 can transmit the information to another user and extend the chat with the approval of the other user.

  Note that if the user decides to stop chatting with another user in the middle of the chat, the communication management unit 252 can forcibly end the chat. For example, when the user touches “End” at the bottom of the display unit 44 of the information terminal 4 </ b> A, the communication management unit 252 can end the chat.

  When the user determines that another user is a malicious user, the communication management unit 252 can report to the user monitoring unit 273 described later. For example, the user can notify the user monitoring unit 273 that the other user is a malicious user by touching “warning” in the lower right part of the display unit 44 of the information terminal 4A.

(Evaluation unit 26)
Communication ends when the chat ends as described above. However, in the communication system 1 of the present invention, it is difficult to specify who the chat partner is. For this reason, there may be cases where a poor user who appears to slander or slander the other party appears through the chat. Therefore, in order to eliminate such users as much as possible, the communication system 1 of the present invention can be provided with a function for evaluating the other party during the chat or after the chat ends. Hereinafter, an example of an evaluation unit that provides such a function will be described.

  9 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the evaluation unit of the server apparatus shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 10 is a diagram showing evaluation items of the evaluation unit shown in FIG. 9, and FIG. 11 is a diagram showing the first embodiment of the present invention. It is a figure for demonstrating the evaluation item and evaluation reply of the communication system which concerns.

  The evaluation unit 26 acquires the evaluation of the user with respect to the other user (first evaluation) and the evaluation of the other user with respect to the user (second evaluation) received through the chat. The communication system 1 according to the present invention uses the first evaluation for the subsequent communication of other users and uses the second evaluation for the subsequent communication of the user.

  The evaluation unit 26 may provide the first evaluation to another user and the second evaluation to the user at the time of communication between the user and another user. Hereinafter, this case will be described. The evaluation unit 26 includes an evaluation item providing unit 261, an evaluation answer acquisition unit 262, and a point determination unit 263.

  First, the evaluation item providing unit 261 provides an evaluation item for evaluating the impression of the other party received by the user during the chat to the user information terminal 4A. As shown in FIG. 10, the evaluation item providing unit 261 stores an evaluation item table having a plurality of evaluation items and corresponding answers A to E. A predetermined score is assigned to the answers A to E. Note that the evaluation item providing unit 261 may store only one evaluation item and the corresponding answers A to E. The evaluation item table may be stored in the storage unit 23.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the evaluation item 1 “Is conversation fun?” Has 5 levels of answers: A “I want to talk again”, B “I enjoyed it”, C “Normal”, D “I didn't like it” , E “I don't want to talk again”. Evaluation item 2 “Is the impression good?” Is associated with five-level answers, A “very good”, B “good”, C “normal”, D “bad”, and E “worst”. Yes. A score of 5 to 1 is assigned to each of the answers A to E.

  Thus, when the evaluation item table has a plurality of evaluation items, the evaluation item providing unit 261 can provide one evaluation item to the user information terminal 4 at random based on the random number table. . The evaluation item providing unit 261 can also provide a predetermined number of evaluation items to the user information terminal 4 one by one. In this case, the order of providing the evaluation items is not particularly limited, and the evaluation items may be provided in the order stored in the evaluation item table, or the evaluation items may be provided at random.

  On the other hand, when the evaluation item table has only one evaluation item, the evaluation item providing unit 261 provides the evaluation item to the user information terminal 4A. In this case, the user answers the same evaluation item every time.

  When the evaluation item providing unit 261 provides the evaluation item 1 “Is the conversation fun?” To the information terminal 4A of the user, the evaluation page 7 is displayed on the information terminal 4A as shown in FIG. That is, the evaluation page 7 includes an evaluation item “1. Have you enjoyed conversation?” Displayed at the top of the display unit 44, and evaluation answers “A. I want to have a conversation again” displayed in order at the bottom. "I don't want to talk". The user considers the impression of the other party with respect to the question of the evaluation item 1 and selects one of the answers A to E.

  Next, the evaluation response acquisition unit 262 acquires a user's response to the provided evaluation item. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, when the evaluation item providing unit 261 provides the evaluation item 1 “Is the conversation fun?” To the information terminal 4A, the user can select any of A to E for the question of the evaluation item 1. Select the answer. When B “I enjoyed” is selected as the impression of the other party (the other user) that the user felt through the chat, the evaluation response acquisition unit 262 evaluates the user's answer “B” to the other user's evaluation (first evaluation). ) Get as. The first evaluation is stored in the data table of the storage unit 23 as data of other users (second data).

  Similarly, the evaluation answer acquisition unit 262 acquires an answer (for example, “D”) of another user as the user evaluation (second evaluation). This second evaluation is stored in the data table of the storage unit 23 as user data (first data). Note that the evaluation response acquisition unit 262 may store these first evaluation and second evaluation.

  When a plurality of evaluation items are provided from the evaluation item providing unit 261, the evaluation answer acquiring unit 262 acquires and stores one of the answers “A” to “E” for each user's response to each evaluation item. To do. For example, when the user selects the answer B “I enjoyed” for the question of the evaluation item 1 and the answer A “very good” for the question of the evaluation item 2, the evaluation answer acquisition unit 262 answers the answer “B”. Acquire and store “A”.

  The point determination unit 263 determines a point assigned to the answer acquired by the evaluation answer acquisition unit 262. That is, the point determination unit 263 determines a first point to be given to another user based on the answer obtained from the user, and a second point to be given to the user based on the answer obtained from the other user. To decide. For example, when the evaluation answer acquisition unit 262 acquires the user's answer “B” for the question of the evaluation item 1, the point determination unit 263 sets the point “assigned to the answer B in the evaluation item table of FIG. 4 "is determined. As an evaluation of the other user (the cat) by the user (the dog), the point determination unit 263 uses the point “4” for the “point” of the other user (for example, the cat) in the data table shown in FIG. Provided in section. Thereby, the data table is updated, and the number of points of the cat becomes the latest number of points “99”.

  Similarly, when the evaluation answer acquisition unit 262 acquires another user's answer “D” for the question of the evaluation item 1, the point determination unit 263 is assigned to the answer D in the evaluation item table of FIG. The point “2” is determined. Similarly, as an evaluation of the user (Mr. Wanko) by another user (Neko-san), the point “2” is provided to the item “Point” of the user (for example, Ms. Wanko) in the data table shown in FIG. 3. Thereby, the data table is updated, and the number of points of the dog becomes the latest number of points “2”.

  In this case, according to the acquired number of points, the communication system 1 can give a merit (privilege) to the user when communicating with another user after the user's next time (the same applies to other users). Specifically, when the number of points of the user is high, the matching unit 24 determines that the user has a high evaluation from others, and increases the matching probability with the other party the user wants to match, and provides bonus points such as providing bonus points. Can be given. Therefore, since the user can acquire the privilege, an incentive to acquire points works on the user. Therefore, the user tries to obtain a good evaluation from the other party in order to obtain a privilege. As a result, bad users can be excluded from the communication system 1 of the present invention, and the user can use the communication system 1 happily.

  On the other hand, when the number of points of the user is low, the matching unit 24 determines that the user has a bad evaluation from others, and gives a penalty such as lowering the matching probability with the other party the user wants to match or giving extra charges. Can do. Therefore, the user cannot enjoy much enjoyment of the communication system 1. Therefore, also from such a viewpoint, the communication system 1 of the present invention has an advantage that users with poor quality can be excluded.

  In addition, the point determination unit 263 may provide the point “4” to the information terminal 4B of the other party who is the evaluated side. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 11, the point determination unit 263 provides the point “4” to the information terminal 4B of the cat. Then, the display unit 44 of the information terminal 4B displays the acquired points “4” as “+4 points” and has acquired 4 stars out of 5 to visually represent “4”. “★★★★ ☆” is displayed to indicate. In the lowermost part of the display unit 44, the total number of points “total 99 points” for displaying the point acquisition status is displayed.

  In this case, the user can know how many points he has earned. Thereby, according to the acquired number of points, the user can obtain a privilege that can be used in the communication system 1 of the present invention or a privilege that will be described later related to the communication system 1. Specifically, when the number of points of the user is high, the user can acquire a privilege to be described later by using the points, so that an incentive to acquire points works on the user. Therefore, the user tries to acquire points, that is, to obtain a good evaluation from the other party. As a result, bad users can be excluded from the communication system 1 of the present invention, and the user can use the communication system 1 happily.

  On the other hand, when the number of points of the user is low, the user cannot enjoy much enjoyment of the communication system 1. Therefore, also from such a viewpoint, the communication system 1 of the present invention has an advantage that users with poor quality can be excluded.

  When the evaluation item providing unit 261 provides a plurality of evaluation items and the evaluation answer acquisition unit 262 acquires a plurality of responses, the point determination unit 263 calculates the points stored by the evaluation answer acquisition unit 262 for each evaluation item. To do. For example, all points are added, multiplied, divided, averaged, or weighted averaged. Thereby, the number of points is calculated. For example, as described above, when the evaluation response acquisition unit 262 acquires the user's response “B” and the response “A” to other users, the point determination unit 263 determines that the point “ 4 ”and the point“ 5 ”assigned to the answer“ A ”are determined. Then, by adding the points “4” and “5”, the number of points “9” can be calculated as the first evaluation of other users. Thereafter, as described above, the point determination unit 263 provides the number of points of other users to the data table and the partner information terminal 4B.

  In this way, the other user who is the opponent obtains points (first evaluation). Similarly, the user also obtains points (second evaluation) based on evaluations by other users. The user can end communication without evaluating the other party, but cannot obtain high points.

  When the user communicates with a plurality of other users other than the other users, the evaluation answer acquisition unit 262 receives the user's response from each of the plurality of other users, as in the communication between the user and the other users. An answer is acquired as an evaluation (third evaluation). The third evaluation is stored in the data table of the storage unit 23 as user data (first data).

  In this case, the point determination unit 263 determines a third point to be given to the user based on the answers acquired from each of the plurality of different users. This third point is stored in the data table of the storage unit 23 as user data. That is, whenever an answer is acquired from another user, the third point is stored in the data table. Thereby, a plurality of third points are stored in the data table.

  Similarly, the evaluation answer acquisition unit 262 acquires an answer from each of a plurality of other users as an evaluation of the other user (third evaluation). The third evaluation is stored in the data table of the storage unit 23 as other user data (second data). In this case, the point determination unit 263 determines a third point to be given to another user based on the answers acquired from each of a plurality of other users. This third point is stored in the data table of the storage unit 23 as data of another user.

  The point determination unit 263 may calculate the number of points of the user (or another user) by calculating the plurality of third points and the second point (or the first point). Specifically, as described above, the number of points is calculated by addition, multiplication, division, average, weighted average, or the like. For example, in the relationship between a user and a specific user, or the relationship between a user and another user in a specific group including the user, the number of points of the user is calculated by averaging, addition, multiplication, or the like. In addition, from the viewpoint of not matching people with low evaluation (having few points), the number of points of the user is calculated by averaging, addition, multiplication, or the like.

(Management Department 27)
As described above, the user can use the acquired points for the communication system 1. On the other hand, it is also important to check for bad users in order to provide healthy communication between people. Therefore, the present invention can be provided with a function for managing the communication system 1 for use of points, monitoring of malicious users, and the like. Hereinafter, a management unit that provides such a function will be described.

  12 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of the management unit of the server apparatus illustrated in FIG. 2, and FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a My Page displayed on the display unit of the information processing apparatus illustrated in FIG.

  The management unit 27 has a function of managing users who use the communication system 1. As illustrated in FIG. 12, the management unit 27 includes a my page management unit 271, a point management unit 272, and a user monitoring unit 273.

  The my page management unit 271 creates and manages the my page 5 to be displayed on the user information terminal 4. The my page management unit 271 creates the my page 5 including user data from the data table stored in the storage unit 23. In addition, My Page 5 can be created by extracting only necessary items from the data. For example, FIG. 13 shows My Page 5 of Hanako Hansen with ID number 95. As shown in FIG. 13, the my page 5 includes a first display area 51, a title acquisition area 52, and a second display area (not shown).

  In the first display area 51, Mr. Hanako Fusen's point number “99”, icon, gender “female”, generation “teen”, address “Kanagawa”, title “often become a leader”, personality type “ Line I "etc. are included. These are displayed in a predetermined layout. The data displayed in the first display area 51 preferably corresponds to the data displayed at the time of matching (data as shown in FIG. 6). In this case, it is easy to provide matching information at the time of matching. The data displayed in the first display area 51 can also be selected by the user.

  The title acquisition area 52 includes titles acquired according to the number of points. For example, as shown in FIG. 13, when Hansen Hanako won 99 points, titles such as “75% of the wiener wears mayonnaise over ketchup” and “Nogizaka likes No. 1 in Akihabara” are displayed. The These titles are also stored in the data table.

  The title acquisition area 52 includes a key icon “open at 100 points” indicating that a new title is released when the number of points is 100. Thereby, when 100 points are reached, the key is opened, and a sense of expectation that a new title is released is produced. The user can also change the title displayed here and the title displayed in the first display area 51. Thereby, after matching, it can talk smoothly with the other party, and can raise a conversation.

  The second display area includes data other than the data displayed in the first display area 51. For example, it includes data such as hobbies, special skills, consultation items, blood types, and occupations stored in the data table. The second display area can be displayed by scrolling the screen of the display unit 44 downward.

  The point management unit 272 manages privileges that the user wants to acquire and points acquired. In other words, the point management unit 272 operates a so-called shop that provides predetermined benefits useful for communication according to the number of points. Such a privilege includes, for example, a chat extension right, a stamp acquisition right, an icon exchange right, an event participation right, and a title acquisition right described later.

  When the user wants to acquire a stamp to be used for the chat, the point management unit 272 gives the stamp to the corresponding user in the data table in exchange for the user's point. For example, when the information that the cat with ID number 1 wants the stamp 1 is input from the information terminal 4, the point management unit 272 refers to the number of points of the cat with ID number 1 in the data table. If the cat has the necessary number of points for exchanging stamps, the point management unit 272 subtracts the necessary number of points from the number of points of the cat and gives “stamp 1” to the privilege section. To do. As a result, the data table is updated, and the cat obtains the stamp 1.

  In addition, when information indicating that Mr. Q of ID number 56 wants to extend the chat is input from the information terminal 4, the point management unit 272 refers to the number of points of Mr. Q of ID number 56 in the data table. If Mr. Q has the number of points necessary for exchanging the chat extension, the point management unit 272 subtracts the necessary number of points from Mr. Q's point number and gives “extended one” to the privilege section. To do. As a result, the data table is updated, and Mr. Q can extend the chat once. The chat extension request may be input and executed from the “extend” button of the display unit 44 during the chat, or may be executed before matching.

  The point management unit 272 may give points in exchange for actual money. That is, the user may purchase points in a so-called billing format and enjoy communication using the points. In addition, the point management unit 272 may give a right to participate in an off-party or event with a user who uses the communication system 1 of the present invention in exchange for points.

  The user monitoring unit 273 monitors a malicious user such as a user who repeatedly repeats slander and slander and a user who has a conversation that promotes crime. The user monitoring unit 273 browses the communication history managed by the communication management unit 252 and checks the user who repeats such actions. When the user monitoring unit 273 finds a malicious user, the user monitoring unit 273 provides the number-of-times information on the user's data in the data table.

  In addition, when the user determines that the conversation of the other party (other user) is dangerous during the chat, the user touches “alarm” (see FIG. 8) in the lower right part of the display unit 44 to display alarm information. May be entered. In this case, the user monitoring unit 273 provides information indicating how many times an alarm has been issued from which user in the data of the other user in the data table.

  When a certain amount of such information is accumulated, the user monitoring unit 273 can take measures such as careful attention, point confiscation, account freeze, matching restriction, and matching probability reduction according to the amount. As a result, it is possible to control dangerous conversations and malicious users that cannot be prevented only by incentives given points.

  On the other hand, the user monitoring unit 273 can monitor a user who performs excellent evaluation and appropriate evaluation. The user monitoring unit 273 browses the communication history and checks the user who performs such evaluation. When the user monitoring unit 273 finds an excellent user, the user monitoring unit 273 provides information indicating that the user is an “excellent user” to the data of the user in the data table. In this case, the user monitoring unit 273 can take measures such as commendation, point doubling, and matching probability increase. Thereby, in addition to point grant, an incentive to appropriately use the communication system 1 can be given to the user.

(Information provider 28)
Since the communication system 1 of the present invention is a system in which persons who do not know each other communicate with each other, there are cases where conversation does not continue well or it is difficult to create a trigger for the conversation. In order to solve such a problem, the communication system 1 of the present invention can provide various kinds of information to the user so that the conversation becomes fun. Hereinafter, the information provision part which provides such a function is demonstrated.

  14 is a block diagram illustrating the configuration of the information providing unit included in the server apparatus illustrated in FIG. 2, FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating communication information and title information included in the information providing unit illustrated in FIG. 14, and FIG. The block diagram which shows the structure of the 3rd information provision part shown in FIG. 17, FIG. 17 is the figure which shows the questionnaire information which the 3rd information provision part shown in FIG. 14 has, FIG. 18 concerns on 1st Embodiment of this invention It is a figure for demonstrating the questionnaire of a communication system.

  The information providing unit 28 provides various information to the information terminal 4 before communication, during communication, and after communication. The various information includes, for example, title information and questionnaire information, which will be described later, application information, event information, explanation information of various functions (so-called “help”), present information, item information, and the like. By providing such various information, the user can enjoy communication.

  In particular, the information providing unit 28 includes a first information providing unit 281 that provides communication information, a second information providing unit 282 that provides title information, and a third information providing unit 283 that provides questionnaire information. Have.

  The first information providing unit 281 provides communication information for giving hints for communication with the other party to the information terminal 4. As shown in FIG. 15, the first information providing unit 281 has an information table in which communication information such as personality information common to personality types, conversation information, and handling method information is classified for each personality type. This information table may be stored in the storage unit 23. The first information providing unit 281 extracts one piece of communication information from the plurality of pieces of communication information at random or in the order stored in the information table for each personality type, and provides it to the information terminal 4.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 15, the personality type “A bottom type” is communication information such as “It works well when responding to exaggeration”, “I am happy when using a stamp”, “Many people like to travel” have. The personality type “Line II type” has communication information such as “It works well if you respond calmly”, “It works well if you use letters”, “Many people are working hobby”.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the cat and the dog match, the first information providing unit 281 uses the information table shown in FIG. 15 as communication information for the cat of the personality type “A bottom type”. , Randomly extract one piece of communication information “Many people like to travel”. Then, the first information providing unit 281 provides the communication information “many people who like to travel” to the information terminal 4A of Wanko. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 6, communication information “Many people like to travel” is displayed in the area below the profile data.

  On the other hand, the first information providing unit 281 is a communication information for a dog of personality type “Line II type”, from the information table shown in FIG. Is extracted. Then, the first information providing unit 281 provides the information “many people who are interested in work” to the cat information terminal 4B. As a result, as shown in FIG. 6, communication information “Many people are interested in work” is displayed in the area below the profile data.

  Thus, when the communication information is displayed, during the chat, the dog can provide a travel topic and the cat can ask a question about the job. Thereby, a chat can be performed smoothly after matching.

  This communication information is added to the information table regularly or irregularly and is updated. Further, the communication information may not be associated with the personality type, and may be associated with “hobby” or “occupation” of the data.

  The second information providing unit 282 provides information (title information) related to the user's personality. As shown in FIG. 15, the second information providing unit 282 has an information table in which a plurality of title information such as personality information common to one personality type is classified for each personality type. This information table may be stored in the storage unit 23.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 15, the personality type “A bottom type” has title information such as “No. 1 ranking with many impulse purchases”, “Good at socializing”, “Easy to fall in love”. Yes. The personality type “line II type” has title information such as “I am hated by people”, “I often become a leader”, “I put mayonnaise on Wiener”.

  When the data acquisition unit 22 acquires personality type data from the user, the second information providing unit 282 gives title information from the information table to the user data table. That is, when user registration is performed (see FIG. 19), the second information providing unit 282 selects title information classified in the personality type of the user from the information table and provides it to the user data table.

  For example, when the dog has registered the data, the second information providing unit 282 refers to the information table in FIG. 15 and identifies the title information classified into the character type “Line II” of the dog. The second information providing unit 282 randomly extracts one piece of title information “who is hated by people” from the title information, and provides it to the data table of FIG. As a result, the data table is updated and Mr. Wanko can obtain title information. Note that the second information providing unit 282 may provide the title information in the order stored in the information table of FIG.

  Further, the second information providing unit 282 can provide predetermined title information from the plurality of title information to the data table and the information terminal 4 according to the number of points acquired.

  For example, every time the number of points increases by 50, the second information providing unit 282 randomly extracts one piece of title information from the plurality of title information. For example, when Mr. Gateau with ID number 2 acquires 50 points, the second information providing unit 282 extracts the title “Easy to fall in love” from the personality type “A bottom type” of the information table. Then, the second information providing unit 282 provides the title information to the data table and the information terminal 4. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 3, the data table is updated and the title information is stored.

  The second information providing unit 282 may extract one piece of title information in the order stored in the information table shown in FIG. 15 and provide the title information to the data table and the information terminal 4. For example, as shown in FIG. 13, the key icon is released when a predetermined number of points are obtained, and the title “ratio of winners with mayonnaise from ketchup is 75%” and the title “Nogizaka likes Akihabara ranking 1 Is provided to the information terminal 4. Also in this case, the data table is updated and the title information is stored.

  In this way, the user acquires a plurality of titles according to the number of points. The second information providing unit 282 can change the title information based on a user request. For example, the user selects one title "Nogizaka likes No. 1 from Akihabara" from among a plurality of titles shown in the title acquisition area 52 of My Page 5 in FIG. The title displayed in the display area 51 can be changed to “I often become a leader”. In this way, the title “No. 1 likes Nogizaka from Akihabara” is displayed in the first display area 51, and the title is also displayed on the partner information terminal 4B on the matching screen linked therewith.

  The title information may not be associated with the personality type, and may be associated with “hobby” or “occupation” of the data.

  The 3rd information provision part 283 provides the questionnaire information regarding a user's character (personality type). As shown in FIG. 16, the third information providing unit 283 includes a questionnaire information providing unit 2831, a questionnaire response acquiring unit 2832, a questionnaire totaling unit 2833, and a title giving unit 2834.

  The questionnaire information providing unit 2831 provides questionnaire information to the user information terminal 4. For example, as shown in FIG. 17, the questionnaire information providing unit 2831 stores a plurality of questions and four corresponding answers. These may be stored in the storage unit 23. Note that answers corresponding to a plurality of questions are information that can be the title of the user.

  As shown in FIG. 17, there are four answers to question 1 “What to do if you forget a writer in a smoking area”, A “Rent to an unknown person”, B “Go to buy”, C “Return to pick up” , D “None” is stored in association with each other. Question 2 “What to add to Wiener?” Is stored in association with four answers, A “ketchup”, B “mayonnaise”, C “source”, and D “none”. .

  The questionnaire information providing unit 2831 randomly provides one question to the user information terminal 4 based on the random number table. The questionnaire information providing unit 2831 can also provide a predetermined number of questions one by one to the user information terminal 4. In this case, the order in which the questions are provided is not particularly limited, and the questions may be provided in the order of the stored question numbers as shown in FIG.

  When the questionnaire information providing unit 2831 provides the question 1 “What to do if you forget a writer in a smoking area” to the user's information terminal 4, a questionnaire information page is displayed as shown in FIG. That is, the questionnaire information page displays the question “1. What should I do if I forget the writer in the smoking area?” Displayed at the top of the display unit 44, and the answer A “Borrowed to an unknown person” displayed in order under the question. D “None”. The user selects the answer that he / she thinks to Question 1 from any one of A to D.

  The questionnaire response acquisition unit 2832 acquires a user's response to the provided question. For example, as shown in FIG. 18, when the questionnaire information providing unit 2831 provides the question 1 “What to do if you forget the writer at the smoking place?” To the information terminal 4, Select the answer. When the user selects A “borrow from an unknown person”, the questionnaire response acquisition unit 2832 acquires and stores the user response “A”.

  When a plurality of questions are provided from the questionnaire information providing unit 2831, the questionnaire response acquisition unit 2832 performs the above operation until a predetermined number of questions is completed, and acquires an answer to the question. The questionnaire information providing unit 2831 stores any of the user answers “A” to “D” for each question.

  The questionnaire totaling unit 2833 totals the responses acquired by the questionnaire response acquiring unit 2832. That is, for each question, the answers selected by the user are totaled, and a percentage (%) is given to each answer. For example, the questionnaire counting unit 2833 counts the answers to the question 1, 75% of the users who select the answer A “borrow from an unknown person”, 20% of the users who select the answer B “go to buy”, and the answer C The result is that 3% of the users who selected “Return to get” and 2% of the users who selected the answer D “None”. Then, the questionnaire totaling unit 2833 provides a 75: 20: 3: 2 questionnaire result in the “questionnaire result” section of the table of FIG. This is updated every time the user conducts the questionnaire for Question 1.

  When the questionnaire response acquisition unit 2832 acquires responses to each of the plurality of questions, the questionnaire totalization unit 2833 similarly counts the user's responses for each question and provides the questionnaire results.

  The title assigning unit 2834 assigns the above-described questionnaire result as the title of the user to the title of the corresponding user in the data table. For example, suppose that the clerk with ID number 55 selects answer B “daikon” in response to question 3 “What do you like for oden utensils?” In FIG. The questionnaire response acquisition unit 2832 acquires the response B from the information terminal 4 of the bag. The questionnaire totaling unit 2833 counts the answer B of the hippo and updates the questionnaire result. The questionnaire results are stored at a ratio (%) of 10: 50: 30: 10. Next, the title assigning unit 2834 assigns the title “50% like radish among oden utensils” to the item of the title of the data table of Mr. Kabana. As a result, the data table is updated as shown in FIG.

  When the questionnaire information provision unit 2831 provides a plurality of questions to the user's information terminal 4 and the questionnaire response acquisition unit 2832 acquires a plurality of responses from the information terminal 4, the title granting unit 2834 collects the titles for each question. Is added to the data table. That is, a title is assigned to each questionnaire provided, and a plurality of titles are stored in the data table.

  The questionnaire information may not be information related to the personality type, but may be information related to “hobby” or “profession” of the data.

  Although the first to third information providing units have been described above, the information providing unit 28 also provides various information such as event implementation information, application information, icon information, and stamp information.

The information terminal 4 is a device for a user to communicate with other users. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the information terminal 4A includes a communication unit 41, a storage unit 42, an input unit 43, a display unit 44, and a control unit 45. These units are connected to each other via a data bus so that they can communicate with each other.

  Hereinafter, since the information terminal 4A has the same configuration as the information terminal 4B, the information terminal 4A will be described as a representative.

(Communication unit 41)
The communication unit 41 has a function of communicating with the information terminal 4B via the network 3. The communication unit 41 may be in any form as long as it can communicate with the information terminal 4B via the network 3, and is, for example, a network interface having a communication protocol such as TCP / IP.

(Storage unit 42)
The storage unit 42 stores information on the information terminal 4A. The storage unit 42 can also store information stored in the storage unit 23 on the server device 2 side. In this case, when the information in the storage unit 23 is updated, the updated information can be acquired from the storage unit 23 of the server device 2 and the information in the storage unit 42 can also be updated.

(Input unit 43)

  The information terminal 4A as described above may be a communication device having all the functions of the server device 2 as described above. In this case, it is possible to communicate with the information terminal 4B without the server device 2.

2. Data Registration Operation Method First, prior to explaining the processing operation of the communication system according to the first embodiment of the present invention, a data registration operation method will be described.

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing the data registration processing operation of the communication system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  The information terminal 4 accepts input of user data (S1). Next, the information terminal 4 determines whether or not all data input has been accepted (S2). If the information terminal 4 has not received input of all data, the process returns to step S1 to receive data input.

  On the other hand, if the information terminal 4 has received input of all data, the process proceeds to step S3. The information terminal 4 determines whether or not there is data correction acceptance (S3). If there is data correction acceptance, the process returns to step S1. The information terminal 4 receives input of corrected data. In this way, steps S1 to S3 are repeated.

  On the other hand, when there is no data correction acceptance, the information terminal 4 transmits the data to the server device 2 (S4). The data acquisition unit 22 of the server device 2 receives the data (S5), and the storage unit 23 stores the data. In this way, user data is registered (S6).

  This data registration operation is executed when the user first uses the communication system 1 of the present invention. As a result, the user data is stored in the storage unit 23 of the server device 2. Therefore, when the communication system 1 of the present invention is used for the second time or later, the data data registration need not be executed.

  Even when the communication system 1 of the present invention is used for the second time or later, this data registration is executed when data is added or corrected.

3. Next, an example of processing operation of the communication system according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. Here, a case where a communication processing operation is performed based on data input from a user will be described as an example.

  20 is a flowchart showing the processing operation of the communication system according to the first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing the matching processing operation shown in FIG. 20, and FIG. 22 is the matching processing operation shown in FIG. FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing the communication processing operation shown in FIG. 20, and FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing the evaluation processing operation shown in FIG.

3.1 Data Transmission / Reception Operation Method First, the information terminal 4A accepts an input of user narrowing data (S7). That is, in order to narrow down the person whom he / she wants to chat with, for example, as the data for narrowing down, the user checks the check boxes for the generation “20s”, the gender “female”, and the personality type. Next, the information terminal 4A transmits narrowed-down data such as the checked generation “20's”, gender “female”, personality type to the server device 2 (S8).

  On the other hand, the information terminal 4B also receives input of data for narrowing down other users (S7). That is, the other users check the check boxes of, for example, the generation “20's”, the sex “male”, the personality type, etc., in order to narrow down the partner with whom the user wants to chat. Next, the information terminal 4B transmits narrowed-down data such as the checked generation “20's”, gender “male”, personality type to the server device 2 (S8).

  Similarly, a plurality of information terminals 4 other than the information terminals 4A and 4B also accepts the input of narrowing data and transmits the narrowing data to the server device 2 (not shown). Note that sending the narrowing data to the server device 2 includes a chat request and a matching request from the user of the information terminal 4. Further, the narrowing-down data is not limited to these.

  The server device 2 receives the narrowing data transmitted from the information terminals 4A and 4B and a plurality of information terminals 4 (not shown) (S9). At this time, a plurality of information terminals 4 including the information terminals 4A and 4B have accessed the server device 2. The server device 2 responds to matching requests from the information terminals 4 in the order in which the plurality of information terminals 4 access the server device 2. That is, the server device 2 responds to the matching request of the information terminal 4 that has transmitted the data in the order in which the narrowing-down data is received.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20, the server device 2 receives the narrowing data from the information terminal 4A earlier than the narrowing data from the information terminal 4B. Therefore, the server apparatus 2 responds to the matching request of the user of the information terminal 4A before the information terminal 4B.

3.2 Operation Method of Matching Process Next, the server apparatus 2 performs matching between the user of the information terminal 4A and another user of the information terminal 4B (S10).

  As illustrated in FIG. 21, when the server device 2 receives the narrowing data from the information terminal 4A, the extraction unit 241 extracts other users having the narrowing data (S101). For example, in step S9, when the server apparatus 2 receives data for narrowing down the age group “20s”, gender “female”, and personality type, the extraction unit 241 stores the data table in the storage unit 23 as shown in FIG. Reference is made (S1011).

  Next, the extraction unit 241 extracts other users having data of the age group “20s” and the sex “female” and specifies the personality type (for example, A bottom type) of the user (S1012). Next, the extraction unit 241 refers to the compatibility table stored in the storage unit 23 (S1013). The extraction unit 241 extracts the personality type that best matches the personality type of the user from the compatibility table (S1014). In the present embodiment, the extraction unit 241 extracts the line II type having the compatibility of A bottom type and 60% from the compatibility table of FIG. In this manner, the extraction unit 241 extracts other users who have data for narrowing down the personality type “line II type” with the age “20s” and the sex “female” (S1015).

  Next, the user specifying unit 242 determines whether or not there are a plurality of other users having the narrowing data (S102). If a plurality of other users do not exist, the user specifying unit 242 determines that there is only one other extracted user, and the process proceeds to steps S104 and S105.

  On the other hand, when there are a plurality of other users, the user specifying unit 242 determines that there are a plurality of other extracted users. In this case, the user specifying unit 242 randomly specifies one other user from among a plurality of other users (S103). Thereafter, the process proceeds to steps S104 and S105.

  The matching information providing unit 243 transmits the data of one specific other user to the user information terminal 4A (S104), and transmits the user data to the information terminal 4B of the other user (S105). The information terminal 4A receives the other user's data from the matching information providing unit 243 (S106), and displays the other user's data on the display unit 44 of the information terminal 4A. On the other hand, the information terminal 4B receives user data from the matching information providing unit 243 (S107), and displays the user data on the display unit 44 of the information terminal 4B. This completes matching between the user and other users.

  Note that the user of the information terminal 4A and other users of the information terminal 4B may be matched completely randomly. In this case, steps S101 to S102 are omitted, and the user identifying unit 242 randomly identifies other users to be matched with the user based on the random number table (S103).

3.3 Operation Method of Communication Process Returning to FIG. 20, when the matching is completed, the communication system 1 executes a communication (chat) process (S11). Hereinafter, since the operation process between the information terminal 4A and the server apparatus 2 and the operation process between the information terminal 4B and the server apparatus 2 are the same, the operation process between the information terminal 4A and the server apparatus 2 is performed. This will be explained as a representative.

  First, as shown in FIG. 23, a chat is started at the request of a user or another user (S111). The chat may be executed without a request from the user. Next, the communication management unit 252 determines whether the chat time has reached a predetermined time (S112). If the chat time has not reached the predetermined time, the process returns to step S111 and the chat is continued.

  On the other hand, when the chat time reaches the predetermined time, the communication management unit 252 transmits extension information such as “1 minute remaining” to the information terminals 4A and 4B (S113). Then, each of the information terminals 4A and 4B receives the extension information (S114). Note that the communication management unit 252 may not transmit the extension information. In this case, the user manages time.

  By receiving the extension information, the user of the information terminal 4A determines whether to extend the chat time or not (S115). When the user desires to extend, the information terminal 4A transmits an extension request to the server device 2 (S115). Next, the communication management unit 252 determines whether an extension request has been received (S116).

  When the communication management unit 252 receives an extension request from both the user and another user, it is assumed that there is an extension agreement between the two users and the process is performed. That is, the process of the server device 2 returns to step S111, and the communication execution unit 251 continues the chat. On the other hand, the communication information providing unit 253 transmits chat continuation information to the information terminal 4A (S117). When the information terminal 4A receives the chat continuation information (S118), the process returns to step S111, and the information terminal 4A continues the chat with the information terminal 4B. As described above, as long as the communication management unit 252 receives the extension requests from both, steps S111 to S118 are repeated.

  On the other hand, if the communication management unit 252 does not receive the extension request in step S116 or if the extension request is received from only one of the user and the other user, there is no extension agreement between the two. The processing proceeds to step S119. That is, the communication information providing unit 253 transmits chat end information to the information terminal 4A (S119). When the information terminal 4A receives the chat end information (S1110), the chat ends (S1111). In step S115, if the user does not wish to extend, the chat time ends. Also in this case, the communication information providing unit 253 transmits chat end information to the information terminal 4A (S119). When the information terminal 4A receives the chat end information (S1110), the chat ends (S1111).

3.4 Operation Method of Evaluation Process Returning to FIG. 20, the communication system 1 executes the evaluation process (S12).

  First, as illustrated in FIG. 24, the evaluation item providing unit 261 transmits the evaluation items to the information terminals 4A and 4B (S121). The information terminals 4A and 4B receive the evaluation item (S122). The evaluation items are displayed on the display unit 44 of the information terminals 4A and 4B. The user inputs an evaluation answer to the display unit 44 on the evaluation item displayed on the display unit 44 based on the impression of the other party felt through the chat. The information terminal 4A receives an answer from the user (S123), and transmits the answer to the server device 2 (S124). Similarly, the information terminal 4B receives an evaluation answer from another user (S123), and transmits the evaluation answer to the server device 2 (S124). Then, the evaluation answer acquisition unit 262 receives the answer from the information terminals 4A and 4B (S125).

  The evaluation item providing unit 261 determines whether or not all evaluation items have been transmitted to the information terminals 4A and 4B (S126). When all evaluation items have not been transmitted to the information terminals 4A and 4B, the process returns to step S121, and the evaluation item providing unit 261 transmits evaluation items that have not been transmitted yet. In this way, steps S121 to S126 are repeatedly executed.

  On the other hand, when the evaluation item providing unit 261 transmits all the evaluation items to the information terminals 4A and 4B, the point determining unit 263 determines points for user evaluation by other users (S127). In addition, the point determination unit 263 determines points for evaluation of other users by the user (S128). As a result, points for the user and points for other users are obtained.

  When there are a plurality of answers to a plurality of evaluation items, the point determination unit 263 determines an evaluation point for each evaluation item. And the point determination part 263 calculates all the evaluation points, and calculates the number of points.

  Next, the point determination unit 263 transmits the point for the user obtained in step S127 to the user information terminal 4A (S129), and the point for the other user obtained in step S128 is information terminal 4B of the other user. (S1210). The information terminal 4A receives points for users (S1211), and the information terminal 4B receives points for other users (S1211).

  The points for the user obtained in step S127 and the points for other users obtained in step S128 are sent to the data table of the storage unit 23. The data table then updates the points for the user and other users.

  As described above, the processing operations of the information terminals 4A and 4B and the server device 2 shown in FIG. 20 are finished, and the processing operation of the communication system 1 of the present invention is also finished.

  In the present embodiment, user data is registered in the storage unit 23 by the first use of the communication system 1. Therefore, when the communication system 1 is used for the second time and thereafter, the processing operation of the communication system 1 may be executed from step S7 in FIG.

3.5 Title Assigning Operation Method Next, the processing operation for assigning the title of the communication system according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing a processing operation for assigning the title of the communication system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  When the above-described evaluation processing operation ends (S12), the second information providing unit 282 determines whether or not the acquired number of points (total number of points) exceeds a predetermined threshold (S13). If the total number of points does not exceed the threshold value, the process ends.

  On the other hand, when the total number of points exceeds the threshold value, the second information providing unit 282 releases the title lock (S14). Then, the second information providing unit 282 transmits the number of title information corresponding to the total number of points to the information terminal 4 (S15). Thereafter, the second information providing unit 282 locks the opened title lock again (S16). The information terminal 4 receives the title information (S17) and displays the title information (S18). Thereby, the process ends.

  The title information transmitted in step S15 is also sent to the title section of the data table in the storage unit 23. Then, the data table is updated. Thereby, the acquired title information is stored in the data table.

3.6 Questionnaire Processing Operation Method Next, a questionnaire processing operation of the communication system according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing a processing operation for executing a questionnaire of the communication system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 26, the questionnaire information providing unit 2831 of the third information providing unit 283 transmits the questionnaire information to the information terminal 4 (S20). The information terminal 4 receives the questionnaire information (S21). The received questionnaire information is displayed on the display unit 44 of the information terminal 4. Based on the questionnaire information displayed on the display unit 44, the user inputs a questionnaire response to the display unit 44 (S22). The information terminal 4 receives an answer from the user and transmits the questionnaire answer to the server device 2 (S23). The questionnaire response acquisition unit 2832 receives the questionnaire response from the information terminal 4 (S24).

  The questionnaire response acquisition unit 2832 determines whether all questionnaire responses have been received from the information terminal 4 (S25). If all questionnaire responses have not been received from the information terminal 4, the process returns to step S20. Thereby, steps S20 to S25 are repeatedly executed.

  On the other hand, when all the questionnaire responses are received from the information terminal 4, the questionnaire totaling unit 2833 calculates the questionnaire responses for each questionnaire information (S26). Next, based on the counting result by the questionnaire counting unit 2833, the title assigning unit 2834 determines the title information (S27). And the title provision part 2834 transmits title information to the information terminal 4 (S28). The information terminal 4 receives the title information (S29) and displays the title information (S30). Thereby, the process ends.

  The title information transmitted in step S28 is also sent to the title section of the data table in the storage unit 23. Then, the data table is updated. Thereby, the acquired title information is stored in the data table.

3.7 Title Information Changing Operation Method Next, a processing operation for changing the title of the communication system according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing a processing operation for changing the title of the communication system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  As described in the above section 3.5, the communication system 1 of the present invention can obtain a plurality of title information according to the total number of points. Further, as described in the above section 3.6, in the communication system 1 of the present invention, a plurality of titles can be obtained according to the questionnaire result by executing the questionnaire a plurality of times. In such a case, the title displayed on My Page 5, the title displayed on the other party during matching, and the like can be changed to another title (new title) preferred by the user. That is, the communication system 1 of the present invention can execute a process of changing the title.

  As shown in FIG. 27, the information terminal 4 first receives a title change request from the user (S31). Next, the information terminal 4 transmits a title change request by the user to the server device 2 (S32).

  The second information providing unit 282 receives the title change request (S33). Thereafter, the second information providing unit 282 selects a new title corresponding to the title change request from a plurality of titles stored in the data table of the storage unit 23 (S34). Then, the second information providing unit 282 transmits a new title to the information terminal 4A (S35). At this time, the management unit 27 updates My Page 5.

  The information terminal 4 receives a new title from the second information providing unit 282 (S36), and displays the new title instead of the title displayed on the display unit 44 (S37). Thereby, the process ends.

  In this way, when the user has a plurality of titles, the title currently displayed on the display unit 44 can be changed to another title desired by the user.

  As described above, the processing method described above can be created by a program executed on a computer. Such a program is realized by a CPU (central processing unit), a microprocessor (micro processor), a GPU (graphic processing unit), a RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), or the like.

Second Embodiment
Hereinafter, the second embodiment of the communication system will be described with a focus on differences from the first embodiment, and description of similar matters will be omitted. FIG. 28 is a diagram for explaining the matching state of the communication system according to the second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing the processing operation of the communication system according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

1. Communication System The communication system of this embodiment is different from that of the first embodiment in that the matching unit 24 further includes a candidate providing unit.

  The candidate providing unit provides a plurality of candidates for other users extracted by the extracting unit 241. That is, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that the extraction unit 241 extracts a plurality of other users. The candidate providing unit provides a plurality of candidates to be matched from a plurality of other users extracted by the extracting unit 241.

  For example, there may be four users who are extracted by the extraction unit 241, such as “Gato” with ID number 2, “Ms. Q” with ID number 56, and “Wanko-san” with ID number 103. In such a case, the candidate providing unit provides data of these four candidates to the information terminal 4.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 28, the display unit 44 of the information terminal 4 includes the title “ranking ranking with many impulse purchases”, personality type “A bottom type”, icon, gender “female”, generation “20s”. ”And a candidate“ Neko-san ”having profile data of the address“ Tokyo ”is displayed. In addition, the display unit 44 displays the candidate “Gato” who has the profile data of the title “Easy to fall in love”, personality type “A bottom type”, gender “male”, generation “30s”, and address “Tokyo”. indicate. Other candidates “Mr. Q” and “Wanko” are displayed by scrolling the screen (touching the arrow).

  The number of candidates provided by the candidate providing unit is not particularly limited, but is preferably about 1 to 10 so that the user can select a candidate without hesitation. When the number of other users extracted by the extraction unit 241 is larger than the number of candidates provided by the candidate providing unit, the candidate providing unit may provide candidates randomly based on a random number table. Further, in this case, the candidate providing unit may provide candidates having a high degree of compatibility with the personality type of the user based on the compatibility table shown in FIG. 4 as performed by the extraction unit 241 described above.

  In this way, the candidate providing unit provides candidates for other users to be matched with the user. Thereby, since the selection right can be given to the user, it is possible to give the user a sense of responsibility to chat well. In addition, since the user has a wider range of choices with whom the user wants to chat, it is possible to give the user a feeling of excitement and excitement.

2. Operation Method of Communication System Next, a method of processing operation for matching of the communication system according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

  The server device 2 performs matching between the user of the information terminal 4A and another user of the information terminal 4B (S10).

  As illustrated in FIG. 29, the extraction unit 241 extracts a plurality of other users (S40). For example, in step S9, when the server apparatus 2 receives data for narrowing down, such as age “20's”, gender “female”, and personality type, the extraction unit 241 stores the data table in the storage unit 23 as shown in FIG. (S1011). Next, the extraction unit 241 extracts other users having data of the age group “20s” and the sex “female” and specifies the personality type (for example, A bottom type) of the user (S1012). The data for narrowing down is not limited to these.

  Next, the extraction unit 241 refers to the compatibility table stored in the storage unit 23 (S1013). The extraction unit 241 extracts the personality type that best matches the personality type of the user from the compatibility table (S1014). In the present embodiment, the extraction unit 241 extracts the line II type having the compatibility of A bottom type and 60% from the compatibility table of FIG. In this manner, the extraction unit 241 extracts a plurality of other users who have data for narrowing down the personality type “line II type” with the age “20s” and the gender “female” (S1015).

  Next, the candidate providing unit randomly extracts candidates to be matched with the user from a plurality of other users extracted by the extracting unit 241 (S41). The candidate providing unit transmits data of a plurality of candidates to the information terminal 4A (S42). The information terminal 4A receives data of a plurality of candidates from the candidate providing unit (S43), and displays the data on the display unit 44. The user examines the candidate data, selects a candidate to be matched, and inputs it to the display unit 44 (S44).

<Third Embodiment>
Hereinafter, the third embodiment of the communication system will be described with a focus on differences from the first embodiment, and description of similar matters will be omitted. 30 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the personality diagnosis unit of the communication system according to the third embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 31 is a diagram showing a diagnosis table of the personality diagnosis unit shown in FIG. 30, and FIG. It is a flowchart which shows the processing operation which performs the personality diagnosis of the communication system which concerns on 3rd Embodiment of invention.

1. Communication System The communication system of this embodiment is different from that of the first embodiment in that the server device 2 further includes a personality diagnosis unit 6. That is, the communication system of the present embodiment differs from the communication system 1 of the first embodiment in that the personality type acquired by the data acquisition unit 22 is acquired from the personality diagnosis unit 6 of the server device 2.

  As shown in FIG. 30, the personality diagnosis unit 6 has a function of diagnosing the user's personality, and includes a diagnosis providing unit 61, a diagnosis answer acquisition unit 62, and a personality type determination unit 63.

  The diagnosis providing unit 61 provides the user's information terminal 4 with a plurality of questions regarding personality diagnosis. The diagnosis providing unit 61 stores a diagnosis table in which the plurality of questions are combined with answers. This may be stored in the storage unit 23.

  For example, as illustrated in FIG. 31, the diagnosis providing unit 61 stores 20 questions representing items for diagnosing the user's personality. There are three possible answers to the question: “Yes”, “No”, and “Neither”. Accordingly, there are 3 answer patterns of the 20th power. Since there are similar personalities among the 3 20th power answer patterns, the diagnosis providing unit 61 classifies and stores the 3 20th power response patterns into 27 personality types.

  If the answer to the question 1 is “Yes” by the user, “Yes” is displayed, and if the answer to the question 2 is “Yes”, the answer is “Yes”. This is repeated, and when the answer to the question 20 is “No”, the display is “No”. Such answer patterns are classified as A bottom type as shown in FIG. 31 (No. 1).

  When the answer to question 1 is “Yes” by the user, “Yes” is displayed, and when the answer to question 2 is “No”, the answer is “No”. This is repeated, and when the answer to the question 20 is “None”, the display is stored as “−”. Such an answer pattern is classified as line II type (No. 11).

  In this way, the diagnosis providing unit 61 stores the answer pattern for the personality diagnosis question in the diagnosis table in association with the personality type into which each answer pattern is classified.

  In addition, from the answer patterns to the 20 questions, it is possible to grasp the tendency of each personality type person. Therefore, the diagnosis providing unit 61 may store communication information as shown in FIG. 15 and title information corresponding to the personality type of the diagnosis table. In this case, communication information and title information can be added by performing a personality diagnosis by the user. The diagnosis providing unit 61 updates the diagnosis table each time.

  The diagnosis providing unit 61 provides the 20 questions stored as described above to the user information terminal 4 one by one. The order in which the questions are provided is not particularly limited, and the questions may be provided in the order of the question numbers shown in FIG.

  The diagnostic response acquisition unit 62 acquires the user's responses to the 20 questions provided. Specifically, the diagnosis providing unit 61 provides the question 1 to the information terminal 4, and the diagnosis answer acquiring unit 62 acquires a “Yes” answer by a user input. Next, the diagnosis providing unit 61 provides the question 2 to the information terminal 4, and the diagnosis answer acquiring unit 62 acquires a “Yes” answer by a user input. Such an operation is performed up to question 20. The diagnosis answer acquisition unit 62 stores the user's answers “Yes”, “No”, or “−” for each of the 20 questions each time, and stores the patterns of the answers “Yes”, “No”, and “−”. To do.

  The personality type determination unit 63 collates the answer pattern stored by the diagnosis answer acquisition unit 62 with the answer pattern stored in the diagnosis table. Then, the personality type determination unit 63 determines the personality type in which the answer pattern is classified as the personality type of the user. For example, the answer pattern stored by the diagnosis answer obtaining unit 62 is No. in the diagnosis table. If the answer pattern is “Yes, Yes... No”, the personality type determination unit 63 determines the personality type “A bottom type” associated with the answer pattern as the personality type of the user.

  After that, the personality type determination unit 63 provides the determined personality type “A bottom type” to the information terminal 4 and also provides it to the data table of the storage unit 23. The data table is then updated to register the user's personality type.

  If the diagnosis providing unit 61 stores communication information and title information as shown in FIG. 15 in the diagnosis table of FIG. 31, the personality type determining unit 63 determines the personality type according to the determination of the personality type. One or more associated communication information and title information can be provided to the information terminal 4 and the data table.

2. Operation Method of Communication System Next, the processing operation for executing the personality diagnosis of the communication system according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  The server apparatus 2 can perform the personality diagnosis at any stage before step S7 shown in FIG. 20, that is, at any stage shown in FIG. That is, as shown in FIG. 32, when the input unit 43 of the information terminal 4 receives an input of a personality diagnosis request from the user (S61), the information terminal 4 transmits a personality diagnosis request to the personality diagnosis unit 6 (S62). ). When the personality diagnosis unit 6 receives the personality diagnosis request (S63), the diagnosis providing unit 61 transmits a question regarding personality diagnosis to the information terminal 4 (S64).

  The information terminal 4 receives a question regarding personality diagnosis (S65). The user inputs an answer to the question about personality diagnosis on the display unit 44 (S66). Thereafter, the information terminal 4 transmits the answer to the server device 2 (S67).

  When the diagnosis answer acquisition unit 62 receives the answer (S68), the personality diagnosis unit 6 determines whether or not the answers to all the questions have been received (S69). If the personality diagnosis unit 6 has not received answers to all questions, the process returns to step S64, and steps S64 to S69 are repeated.

  On the other hand, when the personality diagnosis unit 6 receives answers to all the questions, the personality type determination unit 63 refers to the diagnosis table stored in the diagnosis providing unit 61 (S70). The personality type determination unit 63 determines the personality type in which the answer pattern is classified as the personality type of the user of the information terminal 4 (S71). The determined personality type is added to and stored in the “personality type” section of the corresponding user in the data table stored in the storage unit 23 (S72).

  In this way, the personality diagnosis unit 6 of the server device 2 diagnoses the user's personality and registers the personality type. Thus, even if the user does not check his / her personality type and input it to the information terminal 4, the personality type can be determined by communication between the information terminal 4 and the server device 2. Accordingly, since the personality type can be determined by one communication system, the personality type can be easily obtained, and the communication with other users can be smoothly performed.

  The user may perform the personality diagnosis as described above when using the communication system of the present invention for the first time, but can also perform personality diagnosis for the second and subsequent use. Thereby, since a personality type may be changed, it can enjoy communication with the other party who has various personality types.

  When the personality type is changed by performing the personality diagnosis a plurality of times, the personality type of the data table is changed and the data table is updated each time. In this case, a title corresponding to the personality type after the change is automatically assigned. The number of titles is about the same as the number of titles held at the time of the personality type before the change.

<Fourth embodiment>
Hereinafter, the fourth embodiment of the communication system will be described focusing on differences from the first embodiment, and description of similar matters will be omitted. FIG. 33 is a diagram for explaining the evaluation input and evaluation result of the communication system according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 34 shows the processing operation of the communication system evaluation according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. It is a flowchart.

1. Communication System The communication system of this embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the evaluation unit 26 includes an input area providing unit instead of the evaluation item providing unit 261. That is, the communication system of this embodiment is different from the communication system 1 of the first embodiment in that an area for inputting an evaluation is provided to the information terminal 4.

  The input area providing unit provides the user's information terminal 4A with an input area for inputting the other party's evaluation received during the chat. In this case, as shown in FIG. 33, the evaluation page 7 is displayed on the display unit 44 of the information terminal 4A. The evaluation page 7 has an input area 71 for a user to input an evaluation and an input key area 72 for inputting characters.

  The input area 71 is an area where the user can input a short sentence (about 10 characters: character information) for explaining the other party's evaluation. For example, as shown in FIG. 33, when the chat with the other party is enjoyable, the character information “I enjoyed” can be input using the input key in the input key area 72. If the impression of the other party is good, the character information “very good” can be input using the input key. In the input area 71, a long sentence (for example, 15 characters or more) cannot be inputted, but a plurality of short sentences can be inputted.

  The input key area 72 is divided into 4 rows and 5 columns, and is an area having general input keys. The “send” area at the upper right end of the input key area 72 has a function of transmitting character information to the evaluation unit 26 as described above. The “End / Warning” area at the upper left corner of the input key area 72 has a function for forcibly terminating the evaluation and a warning function for notifying the server device 2 that the other party is a malicious user.

  After the user inputs the character information, the user touches “Send” in the input key area 72, so that the character information is transmitted to the evaluation response acquisition unit 262. Thereby, the evaluation answer acquisition unit 262 acquires and stores the character information.

  Next, the point determination unit 263 refers to the evaluation item table shown in FIG. That is, the point determination unit 263 refers to the answer column of the evaluation item table and identifies an answer that is the same as or similar to the acquired character information. Then, as in the first embodiment, the point determination unit 263 determines the points assigned to the answer specified in the evaluation item table.

  For example, when the evaluation answer acquisition unit 262 acquires the character information “I enjoyed”, the point determination unit 263 selects the answer B “fun” associated with the evaluation item 1 from the answer column of the evaluation item table in FIG. Is specified. Then, the point determination unit 263 determines the point “4” assigned to the answer B. As a result, as in the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 33, “★★★★ ☆”, “+4 points”, and “total 99 points” are displayed.

  In this way, the user can evaluate the other party by inputting characters, so that other users can be evaluated with various expressions.

2 Operation Method of Evaluation Process First, as shown in FIG. 34, the input area providing unit transmits the input area 71 to the information terminals 4A and 4B (S71). The information terminals 4A and 4B receive the input area 71 (S72). The input area 71 is displayed on the display unit 44 of the information terminals 4A and 4B. The user inputs an evaluation (character information) to the display unit 44 on the input area 71 displayed on the display unit 44 based on the impression of the other party felt through the chat. The information terminal 4A receives an evaluation input by the user (S73), and transmits the evaluation input to the server device 2 (S74). Similarly, the information terminal 4B receives an evaluation input by another user (S73), and transmits the evaluation input to the server device 2 (S74). Then, the evaluation answer acquiring unit 262 receives the evaluation input from the information terminals 4A and 4B (S75).

  Next, the point determination unit 263 refers to the evaluation item table (S76). The point determination unit 263 specifies an answer that is the same as or similar to the received character information from the answer column of the evaluation item table (S77). The point determination unit 263 determines a point assigned to the identified answer of the other user for the user (S78). Further, the point determination unit 263 determines a point assigned to the user's identified answer to another user (S79). As a result, points for the user and points for other users are obtained.

  Next, the point determination unit 263 transmits the point for the user obtained in step S78 to the user information terminal 4A (S80), and the point for the other user obtained in step S79 is the other user information terminal 4B. (S81). The information terminal 4A receives points for users (S82), and the information terminal 4B receives points for other users (S82).

  In this way, the user can evaluate the other party by inputting characters.

<Fifth Embodiment>
Hereinafter, the fifth embodiment of the communication system will be described focusing on differences from the first embodiment, and description of similar matters will be omitted.

That is, the communication system of the present embodiment does not have an evaluation item table as shown in FIG. 10 and provides numbers 1 to 5 each time. Specifically, on the evaluation page 7 shown in FIG. 11, the evaluation item “1. Did you enjoy the conversation?” Is not displayed, and the evaluation answers “A. I want to talk again” to “E. I do not want to talk again”. Instead, evaluation numbers “5” to “1” are displayed. The user selects one of the answers 5 to 1 in consideration of the impression of the other party with respect to the evaluation number.

  Next, the evaluation response acquisition unit 262 acquires the user's response to the provided evaluation number. Since the evaluation numbers correspond to points, the points are determined at this point.

  In this way, the user can evaluate the other party simply by selecting a number, and thus can easily evaluate other users.

  Note that the operation method of the communication system of this embodiment is different from the operation method of the communication system 1 of the first embodiment in that step S126 in FIG. 24 is not provided.

  The communication device, communication system, and communication program of the present invention have been described above, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the configuration of each part of the communication apparatus and the communication system of the present invention can be replaced with an arbitrary one that can exhibit the same function, or an arbitrary configuration can be added. Further, each process executed by the communication program of the present invention can be replaced with an arbitrary process that can exhibit the same function, or an arbitrary process can be added.

  Moreover, the communication system of this invention may provide evaluation combining the evaluation item of 1st Embodiment, and the input area of 3rd Embodiment. That is, the input area 71 may be provided in the lower part of the screen of the information terminal 4A in FIG. 11, or the evaluation item may be provided in the lower part of the input area 71 in the screen in FIG. Thereby, two types of evaluations can be provided: evaluation based on evaluation items and evaluation based on character information.

  In the above embodiment, the portable information processing apparatus has been described as the information terminal, but the information processing apparatus is not limited to this. The information processing apparatus can be applied to any other information processing apparatus as long as it can communicate via a network. For example, the present invention can be applied to a desktop computer, a notebook computer, a computer having a touch panel display / input unit (so-called tablet PC), and the like.
