[Embodiment 5]
In the present embodiment, the display unit 12 of the thank-you transmission device 10 may further display information for the user regarding transmission / reception of the thanks data based on at least one of the transmitted thanks data and the received thanks data.

  For example, the thank-you transmission device 10 may store the sent and received thanks data as history information in association with the user who uses it. According to the present embodiment, for example, from the history information, for example, based on the use frequency, use period, number of transmissions, number of receptions, etc. of the user, information suitable for the user for promoting the use of the user is obtained. Can be displayed. The information for the user is information for promoting the use of the user, for example, and specific examples include a display of thanks and a message of thanks as described above. For example, the information for the user is stored in the storage unit in association with a history trend, the history trend of each user's history information is determined, and the information associated with the determined history trend is stored in the user. Can be displayed as information on

  As a first specific example, for example, when the thanks data has not been transmitted for a predetermined period, a message regarding the transmission of the thanks data may be displayed.

  The display unit 12 of the thank-you transmission device 10 is, for example, a notification of completion of transmission of thank-you data to other users (for example, “I sent thanks to Mr. OO”), and received thanks-data from other users. In addition to the notification (for example, “thanks have been received from Mr. OO”), for example, the following message for prompting the transmission of thanks can also be displayed. That is, if each terminal 10 can be connected to the server as described above, for example, a notification of appreciation of other users connected to the network (for example, “X appreciation around you today” Was sent "). In this way, the appreciation of the appreciation by others can be recognized to promote the appreciation of the appreciation.

  Further, when the thanks data is not transmitted for a predetermined period, a notification for recognizing that the thanks is not transmitted can be displayed when the predetermined period has elapsed. In this way, it is possible to promote the sending of thanks by recognizing that no thanks are being sent. In this case, instead of directly displaying that the thanks are not transmitted, for example, a message that causes the gratitude to be transmitted indirectly may be displayed. For example, “Look back on the day today”, “Helped me when I was in trouble (subject to assistance)”, “I received an unexpected gift (gift receipt)”, “I made a burden (others) ”And“ willing to pay (other person) ”.

  In addition, after displaying these messages, for example, selecting a message, displaying and selecting the type of appreciation for the message, displaying and selecting the degree of appreciation, identifying the user to whom the message is sent, and sending it You can also.

  When the thanks data is not transmitted for a predetermined period, the thanks to the user may be automatically displayed when the predetermined period has elapsed. This thanks may be anonymous or non-anonymous, for example, with or without a message. For users who have not sent thanks, for example, by displaying thanks instead of a warning message saying "I'm not sending thanks", the user who received this is aroused emotions such as joy. , Can encourage the resumption of use. In the case of attaching a message to the above-mentioned thanks, for example, a message such as “I may not have noticed but always thank you” is given.

  As a second specific example, for example, a message is displayed when the user has just started using the present invention. Specifically, for example, a message that promotes the use of the program (eg, application) of the present invention is displayed only within a predetermined period from the start of use by the user, or thanks data with a message is displayed. The above-mentioned thanks data with a message includes, for example, an appreciation message on an illustration that expresses the kind of thanks. Examples of the message include “Thank you for using” and “Thank you for using it today”. For example, a user who has received such a gratitude has a feeling of joy, so that the user can continue to use the user immediately after the start of use.

  As a third specific example, for example, a message is displayed when a new connection is established on the network between users in the transmission / reception of gratitude data. In this case, for example, by displaying a message “You have newly connected with Mr. X”, you can expect to have an awareness of wanting to connect with a new person and expand the network of gratitude.

  As a fourth specific example, for example, a message is displayed when an arbitrary condition is achieved.
