Participation includes, for example, participation in a seminar, dispatch to a dispatch destination, attendance at a workplace, taking a lecture, participation of a volunteer, attendance at a fire brigade, and the like. In other words, the target of participation does not matter. Participation is, for example, participation in an event for which a user's action is caused. The event is, for example, a seminar, dispatch, attendance, lecture, volunteer, etc.

  The message storage unit 111 stores one or more messages. The message here is a message regarding an inquiry about participation. The message here is information to be returned. However, some information that is not a reply target may be associated with the message. Some information that is not a reply target is referred to herein as explanatory information. The two or more messages stored in the message storage unit 111 include, for example, a “first message and a second message”. However, the first message and the second message may be the same. In such a case, one message may be stored in the message storage unit 111. The reply is a reply to the participation inquiry. The reply is, for example, a reply indicating participation (for example, “1”) or a reply indicating not participating (for example, “0”). Further, it is preferable that the message is stored in association with a message identifier for identifying the message.

For example, the statistical processing performs aggregation for each value (for example, “1” or “0”) of two or more return information (for example, “1” to participate or “0” to not participate). It is to calculate the number (for example, the number of replies “1” and the number of replies “0”) for each. Further, the statistical processing is, for example, calculating a ratio of two or more return information values (for example, a ratio of “participating”, a ratio of “not participating”, etc.).

  The statistical processing unit 121 statistically analyzes two or more replies for each message transmitted by the message transmission unit 131, for each message transmission destination of the message transmission unit 131, or for each item included in the reply information received by the reply reception unit 141. Processing may be performed to obtain a statistical processing result.

  The transmission control unit 122 performs transmission control of the second message to one or more terminal devices according to the statistical processing result. The second message is different from the first message or the same message as the first message. Here, the transmission control is, for example, determination of the destination of the second message, selection of the second message, determination of whether or not to transmit the second message, or a combination thereof.

  The transmission control unit 122 may transmit the second message to one or more terminal devices 2 only when the statistical processing result satisfies a predetermined condition. The predetermined condition is, for example, that the number of “participating” values (number of participants) in two or more reply information corresponding to one first message is less than or less than a threshold value. is there. The predetermined condition is, for example, that the number of “participating” values (number of participants) in two or more reply information corresponding to one item (for example, one event) is equal to or less than a threshold value. Is less than.

  Next, the operation of the information system will be described. First, the operation of the information processing apparatus 1 will be described using the flowchart of FIG.

  (Step S301) The transmission control unit 122 determines whether to transmit the first message. When the first message is transmitted, the process goes to step S302, and when the first message is not transmitted, the process goes to step S304. For example, when a reception unit (not shown) of the information processing apparatus 1 receives a message transmission instruction, the transmission control unit 122 determines to transmit the first message. The message transmission instruction is usually an instruction input by the user, and has, for example, a first message identifier for identifying the first message. Further, it may be determined that the first message is transmitted when a predetermined time is reached. In addition, the condition for determining that the transmission control unit 122 transmits the first message does not matter. That is, the trigger for transmitting the first message is not limited.

  (Step S302) The transmission control unit 122 acquires two or more transmission destination identifiers indicating transmission destinations to which the first message is transmitted. For example, the transmission control unit 122 acquires two or more transmission destination identifiers included in all terminal information stored in the terminal information storage unit 112. In addition, the transmission control unit 122 acquires, for example, one or more transmission destination identifiers paired with a specific first group identifier among the terminal information stored in the terminal information storage unit 112.

  (Step S303) The message transmission unit 131 reads the first message from the message storage unit 111, and transmits the first message to the transmission destination identified by the one or more transmission destination identifiers acquired in Step S302. The process returns to step S301. Note that the message transmission unit 131 may transmit the first message when there is an access from the terminal device 2.

  (Step S304) The reply receiving unit 141 determines whether one or more reply information has been received from the terminal device 2. When reply information is received, the process goes to step S305, and when reply information is not received, the process goes to step S306. Such reply information is usually associated with a terminal identifier. Such a reply usually corresponds to a message identifier for identifying a message to be replied to. Further, such a reply may correspond to a message identifier and an item identifier to be a reply target. Further, the reply information may include one or more identifiers of a terminal identifier, a message identifier, or an item identifier.

  (Step S305) The processing unit 12 temporarily accumulates the reply information received in step S304 in the storage unit 11. The process returns to step S301.

  (Step S306) The processing unit 12 determines whether or not to perform statistical processing. If statistical processing is performed, the process goes to step S307, and if statistical processing is not performed, the process returns to step S301. Note that the processing unit 12 determines, for example, that a predetermined time (for example, a transmission time limit for reply information) has been reached, and performs statistical processing. In addition, for example, the processing unit 12 determines to perform statistical processing when a receiving unit (not illustrated) receives a statistical processing instruction. There is no limitation on the trigger for performing statistical processing. For example, the processing unit 12 determines to perform statistical processing when the reply receiving unit 141 receives as much reply information as satisfies a predetermined condition. The predetermined condition is, for example, that the number of reply information is greater than or equal to a threshold value or greater than the threshold value, or that the ratio of reply information is greater than or equal to the threshold value or greater than the threshold value. In addition, a determination condition for determining whether to perform statistical processing is stored in the storage unit 11 in association with the message identifier for identifying the first message, and the processing unit 12 is provided for each of one or more first messages. It is preferable to determine whether or not to perform statistical processing.

  (Step S307) The statistical processing unit 121 performs statistical processing on one or more return information corresponding to the message identifier determined to perform statistical processing in Step S306, and acquires a statistical processing result.

  (Step S308) The transmission control unit 122 determines whether or not the statistical processing result acquired in Step S307 satisfies a predetermined condition. If the predetermined condition is satisfied, the process goes to step S309, and if the predetermined condition is not satisfied, the process returns to step S301. The predetermined condition is a condition for determining to transmit the second message.

  (Step S309) The transmission control unit 122 acquires one or more transmission destination identifiers that identify a transmission destination to which the second message is transmitted. For example, the transmission control unit 122 acquires one or more transmission destination identifiers corresponding to the second group identifier from the terminal information storage unit 112. In addition, the transmission control unit 122 acquires one or more transmission destination identifiers corresponding to the terminal device 2 that has transmitted a reply including information indicating “not participate”, for example.

  (Step S <b> 310) The transmission control unit 122 acquires the second message to be transmitted from the message storage unit 111. Note that the transmission control unit 122 acquires, for example, the second message corresponding to the first message identified by the message identifier corresponding to the statistically processed reply information.

  (Step S311) The message transmission unit 131 transmits the second message acquired in Step S310 to the transmission destination identified by the one or more transmission destination identifiers acquired in Step S309. The process returns to step S301.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 3, the process ends when the power is turned off or the process is terminated.

  Next, operation | movement of the terminal device 2 is demonstrated using the flowchart of FIG.

  (Step S401) The terminal receiving unit 23 determines whether a message or the like has been received. If a message or the like is received, the process goes to step S402. If no message or the like is received, the process goes to step S403. The terminal receiving unit 23 normally receives a message or the like from the information processing apparatus 1 by push type communication, but may receive a message or the like by pull type communication. That is, when the terminal receiving unit 22 receives a message acquisition instruction from the user, the terminal transmitting unit 26 transmits the instruction to the information processing apparatus 1, and as a result, the terminal receiving unit 23 receives the message. good. The message received here may be the first message, the second message, or the third and subsequent messages. The terminal receiving unit 23 may also receive explanatory information and other information along with the message.

  (Step S402) The terminal output unit 25 outputs the message received in Step S401. The process returns to step S401.

  (Step S403) The terminal receiving unit 22 determines whether information has been received from the user. When the information is accepted, the process goes to step S404, and when the information is not accepted, the process goes to step S405. In addition, a user is a user who displays intention of participation or non-participation for a message. Also, the information received here is usually information that constitutes a reply. The information received here is, for example, information corresponding to pressing a button indicating intention to participate, or information corresponding to pressing a button indicating intention not to participate.

  (Step S404) The terminal processing unit 24 temporarily stores the information received in Step S403 in a buffer (not shown). The process returns to step S401.

  (Step S405) The terminal receiving unit 22 determines whether a reply instruction has been received from the user. If a reply instruction is accepted, the process goes to step S406. If a reply instruction is not accepted, the process returns to step S401.

  (Step S <b> 406) The terminal processing unit 24 configures reply information to be transmitted using information temporarily stored in the buffer. The reply information usually has information indicating whether or not to participate. The reply information to be transmitted usually has a message identifier. Moreover, the reply information to be transmitted includes, for example, a message identifier and an item identifier.

  (Step S407) The terminal transmission unit 26 transmits the reply information configured in step S406 to the information processing apparatus 1. The process returns to step S401.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 4, the process ends when the power is turned off or the process ends.

  Hereinafter, a specific operation of the information system in the present embodiment will be described. A conceptual diagram of the information system is shown in FIG.

  Now, the message storage unit 111 of the information processing apparatus 1 stores the message management table shown in FIG. The message management table stores one or more records having “ID”, “message identifier”, “message”, “description information”, “transmission destination”, and “condition”. “ID” is information for identifying a record. “Message identifier” is information for identifying a message. A “message” is a message to be transmitted. “Description information” is transmitted description information. “Transmission destination” is information for specifying the transmission destination. The process of acquiring the “transmission destination identifier” using the “transmission destination” may be realized by a program. “Condition” is a condition for transmitting a message. Note that “A1” to “A4”, “B1” to “B4”, “E1” to “E4”, and the like in the timetable in the message with the message identifier “31” in FIG. 5 are lecture names. Also, “1” to “4” on the vertical axis of the message identifier “31” mean “first limit” to “fourth limit”. In addition, each cell (frame) in the timetable in the first message with the message identifier “31” is a selectable button.

  The terminal information storage unit 112 stores a terminal information management table shown in FIG. The terminal information management table includes one or more records having “ID” and “terminal information”. “Terminal information” includes “user identifier”, “name”, “address”, “destination identifier”, and “group identifier”. Here, the “transmission destination identifier” is information indicating a communication destination such as a mail address, a mobile phone number, a communication application ID, and an IP address. In FIG. 6, it is assumed that the group identifiers are ordered in the order of group identifiers “G01 → G02 → G03 → G04”.

  In this situation, the following four specific examples will be described. Specific example 1 is a case in which participation in a seminar is called, and a message that invites participation in a seminar is transmitted to a user who does not reply until the number of participants increases to a predetermined condition. In Specific Example 1, the first message and the second message are different.

  Example 2 is when recruiting people who can work at the dispatch destination, and when recruiting people who can work until the number of transmissions is less than a certain number and the number of participants satisfies a predetermined condition. In this case, a message is transmitted in a predetermined group unit (for example, first group → second group → third group). Specific example 2 is a case where the first message and the second message are the same.

  Specific example 3 is a case in which a message for encouraging students to attend a lecture is transmitted, and a response of “take / do not attend” for a plurality of items (a plurality of lectures) is obtained in the first message. In the specific example 3, the second message is transmitted for each lecture until the number of students (number of participants) of the item (each lecture) satisfies a predetermined condition.

  Specific example 4 is a case where a group is dynamically configured using information in the message (here, location information), and the message is transmitted in units of groups until the condition is satisfied.

(Specific example 1)
It is assumed that the user inputs a message transmission instruction “ID = 1” in the message management table to the information processing apparatus 1. Then, a reception unit (not shown) of the information processing apparatus 1 receives a transmission instruction for the message.

  Next, the transmission control unit 122 determines that the first message “ID = 1” is to be transmitted. Then, the transmission control unit 122 acquires the transmission destination “all members” of “ID = 1” in the message management table of FIG. Then, the transmission control unit 122 acquires the transmission destination identifiers “S01”, “S02”,... Of all records from the terminal information management table of FIG.

  Next, the transmission control unit 122 acquires the first message and the description information identified by the message identifier “11” with “ID = 1” from the message management table.
