Next, functions provided in each control unit of the management server 1, the content server 4, and the browser terminal 5 will be described while explaining the flow of processing related to the distribution of reward for execution of a predetermined calculation. First, the flow of processing until the content server 4 registers a content page will be described.

FIG. 3 is a sequence diagram showing a flow of processing until the content server 4 according to the present embodiment registers a content page.
First, the requester terminal 2 transmits request information to the management server 1 in accordance with the requester's operation. The request information includes, for example, calculation data indicating the calculation content requested to be executed and reward information indicating the amount of reward for the calculation.
When receiving the request information from the requester terminal 2, the registration unit 12 of the management server 1 registers the requester information by associating the request information with the request time when the request is received and storing it in the storage unit 11. (S1).

  When the reward distribution system S selects calculation data in descending order of the reward amount, the registration unit 12 presents the reward information of other requesters to the requester terminal 2 or a plurality of requests in an auction format. A bid for a remuneration amount per predetermined amount of calculation may be accepted from a person. By doing so, the requester increases the reward amount when he / she wants to execute the calculation preferentially, so the reward distribution system S can increase the reward amount.

May be. Then, the acquisition unit 541 of the browser terminal 5 transmits a calculation data acquisition request including identification information for identifying the provider to the management server 1, and the data transmission / reception unit 13 of the management server 1 responds to the calculation data acquisition request. The type of calculation data stored in the storage unit 11 in association with the identification information of the included provider may be specified. Then, the data transmitting / receiving unit 13 may select calculation data based on the specified type of calculation data.

  When receiving the calculation data from the management server 1, the execution unit 542 of the browser terminal 5 executes a predetermined calculation based on the calculation data (S14). When executing the predetermined calculation, the execution unit 542 displays calculation result data indicating the calculation result of the predetermined calculation and identification information for identifying the content provider included in the content page included in the script. It transmits to the management server 1.

  When the content page is displayed on the display unit 52, the execution unit 542 transmits the calculation data acquisition request to the management server 1 again after transmitting the calculation result data to the management server 1. It may be obtained and a predetermined calculation is executed based on the calculation data. In this way, the longer the content viewing time, the more the browser terminal 5 can perform calculations.

Subsequently, the reward acquisition unit 14 of the management server 1 transmits the received calculation result data to the requester terminal 2, and acquires a reward corresponding to the calculation result data from the requester terminal 2.
When the distribution unit 15 of the management server 1 acquires the reward, it identifies the content provider identification information received from the browser terminal 5 together with the calculation result data corresponding to the reward. And the distribution part 15 performs the reward distribution process which distributes the reward which the reward acquisition part 14 acquired to the said provider (S15). For example, when the reward is in currency, the distribution unit 15 deposits the reward acquired by the reward acquisition unit 14 into an account corresponding to the provider.

  Here, the distribution unit 15 may collect at least a part of the reward acquired by the reward acquisition unit 14 as a service usage fee from the provider. The distribution unit 15 may distribute the reward to the provider when the amount of reward acquired by the reward acquisition unit 14 exceeds a predetermined amount. The distribution unit 15 may transmit notification information indicating that the reward has been distributed to the provider to the provider terminal 3 used by the provider.

  The distribution unit 15 may distribute the reward acquired by the reward acquisition unit 14 to a content provider and a viewer of the content. For example, when the amount of calculation result data received from the browser terminal 5 exceeds a predetermined amount, the distribution unit 15 provides a reward corresponding to the calculation result data to the content provider and the content browsing. It may be distributed to the person. In this way, the reward distribution system S can make the content viewer actively view the content.
