The posted data receiving unit 21 is provided as an acquisition unit, and is a message posted to the SNS.
The posting data including at least the user identification information of the user who posted the message
Obtained by receiving from the system 10. Registration determination unit 22 and analysis units 23 to 26
Are provided as analysis means. When the posted data is acquired by the posted data receiving unit 21, the posted data analyzing unit 23 analyzes whether the posted data includes image data or incidental information. When the posted data includes image data, the image data analyzing unit 24 analyzes the image data. The user information analysis unit 25 aggregates the number of people who commented on the message, the number of people who participated in the chat, and the like by analyzing post data, particularly information about the user. The incidental information analysis unit 26 analyzes the incidental information when the incidental information is included in the post data. The registration determination unit 22 determines whether to register the image data in the image data storage unit 31 when the post data includes image data based on the analysis results of the analysis units 23 to 26.

The registration unit 27 is provided as a registration unit. When the posting data acquired by the posting data reception unit 21 includes image data, the registration unit 27 determines that the registration data is registered by the registration determination unit 22. And the reservation number and the image data are registered in the image data storage unit 31 in association with each other. The notification message transmission unit 28 is provided as a posting unit, and when a registration number is issued by the registration unit 27, at least a reservation notification message including the reservation number is notified to the user who posted the message. Yo S
Post to NS. That is, a reservation notification message is transmitted to the SNS system 10. When the reservation number is transmitted from the multi-copy machine 4 when the reservation number is input by the user, the image data transmission unit 29 stores the image data registered in the image data storage unit 31 in association with the reservation number. And is transmitted to the multi-copy machine 4 as the reservation number transmission source. The processing control unit 30 controls the execution of image data registration processing (to be described later) in the print service server 20 by operating in cooperation with the components 21 to 29 in the print service server 20.

The components 21 to 30 in the print service server 20 are realized by a cooperative operation of a computer included in the print service server 20 and a program operating on the CPU 41 mounted on the computer. The image data storage unit 31 also includes the print service server 20.
This is realized by the HDD 44 mounted on the. Alternatively, an external storage means may be used via a network.

The SNS system 10 includes a posted data collection unit 11, a posted data transmission unit 12, a notification message reception unit 13, and a display control unit 14. Note that components not used in the description of the present embodiment are omitted from the drawings. The post data collection unit 11 collects post data based on posts by the user of the information terminal 2. Post data transmission unit 12 is a post data collection unit 1
1 is transmitted to the print service server 20. The notification message receiving unit 13 receives a notification message transmitted from the print service server 20. The display control unit 14 is provided as a notification unit, and controls the display of the notification message on the information terminal 2 of the corresponding user or group user in order to at least notify the received notification message to the user who posted the message. To do.

As will be described later, the print service server 20 posts the notification message to the SNS system 10 in the same manner as the posting of one user of the SNS. In practice, the notification message reception unit 13 and the posting data collection unit 11 Similar processing is performed. That is, the posted data collection unit 11 may receive the notification message. Therefore, the display control unit 14 may process the message from the information terminal 2 and the notification message from the print service server 20 equally without distinguishing them. However, in this embodiment, in order to explain the processing of the notification message transmitted from the print service server 20, the notification message receiving unit 13 and the display control unit 14 that handle the notification message for the sake of convenience are clearly shown in the SNS system 10. did.
That is, the SNS system 10 in the present embodiment may have the same functional configuration as before except for the posted data transmission unit 12 that transmits the posted data to the print service server 20.

The constituent elements 11 to 14 in the SNS system 10 are realized by a cooperative operation of a computer included in the SNS system 10 and a program operating on a CPU mounted on the computer.

In addition, the program used in this embodiment is not only provided by communication means,
It is also possible to provide the program stored in a computer-readable recording medium such as a CD-ROM or a USB memory. The program provided from the communication means or the recording medium is installed in the computer, and various processes are realized by the CPU of the computer sequentially executing the program.

At present, the SNS does not have a function for printing a posted image. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the SNS includes the multi-copy machine 4 and the print service server 2.
By allowing the print service provided by 0 to cooperate, the user can print image data such as photos posted to the SNS from the multi-copy machine 4 without any setting on the SNS. It is characterized by. Hereinafter, image data registration processing until image data posted to the SNS is printed will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

When the user posts a message such as a conversation, an image data file such as a photo, and incidental information such as a comment for the message to the SNS, the posting data collection unit 11 collects the posting. Then, the posting data transmission unit 12 transmits the posting data acquired by posting to the print service server 20.

The print service server 20 acquires the post data transmitted from the SNS system 10 by receiving it (step 101). The post data analysis unit 23 is a user information analysis unit 2
5 and the accompanying information analysis unit 26 are used to analyze the post data to determine the presence / absence of the image data and the accompanying information, and obtain the post data analysis results illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6 (
Step 102).

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a data configuration example of conversation data obtained by the posting data analysis unit 23 analyzing the posting data in the present embodiment. When the SNS user posts a message, the image data is further attached by itself, or another SNS user selects a “Like” button or adds a comment to the message. The conversation data is generated by aggregating each message and the accompanying information of the message. As illustrated in FIG. 5, the conversation data includes a posting ID, a message, image data, a user ID, a group ID, and incidental information. The posting ID is identification information for identifying the posted message. The message is an actually posted message. The image data includes the actual state of the attached image data (binary data) when the image data is attached to the posted message. A plurality of image data may be attached to one message, but each image data is identified by a file name. If no image data is attached, NULL is set. The user ID is identification information of the user who posted the message. Group ID
Is identification information for identifying the group when the user has posted to the group to which the user belongs. If the post is not for a group, NULL is set. As described above, the incidental information is information set when another user responds to the message. For example, when a comment is written as incidental information for a message,
The identification information (user ID) of the user who wrote the comment, the content of the comment, and the date and time when the comment was written are included. When there is no comment like “Like!”, NULL is set as the content of the comment. When image data is attached as a comment, the image data may be associated as supplementary information.

Since the accompanying information is not always added to the message immediately, the post data analysis unit 23 may generate the conversation data after waiting for a predetermined period after the message is posted. Good. Also, for example, when a certain SNS user newly posted a message, such as LINE, when it can be inferred that a series of conversations were formed by another SNS user posting a reply message within a relatively short time, The reply message may be handled as incidental information of a newly posted message.

The user information analysis unit 25 analyzes the conversation data generated by the posted data analysis unit 23 and performs aggregation of users who participate in the conversation as illustrated in FIG. In FIG. 6, the number of participating users is the number of users who have participated in the posting, and is the total number of users who have posted messages and users who have attached incidental information for the messages. In the user ID list, user IDs of participating users are set. The number of comments is the number of incidental information. The group ID includes
When a message is posted to a group, the group ID of that group is set.

In the print service server 20, when the above analysis result is obtained, the following processing is subsequently performed. That is, when the conversation data does not include image data (N in step 103),
Since there is no image data to be registered, the registration determination unit 22 ends the process for the posting. If the conversation data includes image data (Y in step 103), the image data analysis unit 24 analyzes whether the image data includes a person image. For the detection of a person image, for example, an existing technique such as face recognition may be used. If no person image is detected from the image data (N in Step 104), the registration determination unit 22 determines that the image data is unlikely to be printed by the participating user, and does not register the image data. The process for the post ends.

When a person image is detected from the image data (Y in step 104), the registration determination unit 22 determines whether the number of supplementary information for the message (the number of comments shown in FIG. 6) has reached a preset threshold value. to decide. If the number of incidental information has not reached the threshold (step 105)
N), the registration determination unit 22 determines that the image data is unlikely to be printed by the participating user, and ends the processing for the posted data without registering the image data.

If the number of incidental information is equal to or greater than the threshold (Y in Step 105), that is, if the registration determination unit 22 determines to register image data, the registration unit 27 issues a reservation number (Step 106).
Then, the reservation number and the image data are associated with each other and registered in the image data storage unit 31 (step 107).

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a data configuration example of registration information registered in the image data storage unit 31 in the present embodiment. The registration information includes image data (binary data), an image file name that is identification information of the image data, a reservation number issued for the image data, and a print attribute (print parameter) of the image file. It is. The print parameter is positioned as an initial value, and is an attribute value that can be changed from the operation panel 56 when actually printing from the multi-copy machine 4.

When the image data is registered in the image data storage unit 31, subsequently, the notification message transmission unit 2
8 transmits a reservation notification message including a reservation number (hereinafter, simply “reservation message”) to the SNS system 10 (step 108). 8A and 8B are diagrams illustrating an example of a configuration of data included in the notification message. In the notification message, a group ID (or user ID) indicating to which user the message is notified, a reservation number to be notified, a fee required for printing image data, and detailed information for printing are described. Contains storage location information.
Since the notification message is a message in the same format as when the SNS user posts to the SNS, the notification message transmission unit 28 generates a notification message including each item data included in FIG. 7 and transmits the notification message to the SNS system 10. become.

In the SNS system 10, when the notification message receiving unit 13 receives the notification message transmitted from the print service server 20, the display control unit 14 notifies the corresponding user or group (user belonging to the group) of the notification message. . A display example when this notification message is displayed on the information terminal 2 is shown in FIG.

According to the screen illustrated in FIG. 9, the Us belonging to the group with the group ID “group1”.
The notification message illustrated in FIG. 9 is displayed on each information terminal 2 of er1 and User2. Note that the user “pss” is a listener (an interface that behaves as a pseudo account of the SNS system 10) and belongs in advance to the group with the group ID “group1”.

FIG. 9 is a display screen assuming LINE as the SNS system 10 and is an example in which a notification message is displayed on the information terminal 2 of the user 1 belonging to the group. SNS
Since the system 10 manages users belonging to each group, for example, Facebook
In the case of k, the notification message may be distributed to each user belonging to the group.

When a large number of users are registered in the group, by sending a notification message in the format of FIG. 8B instead of FIG. 8A, a comment is given to the user who posted the message and not to all the users belonging to the group. At least a notification message may be notified to the attached user.

Also, instead of applying for friends to belong to each group in advance, for example Face
The notification message may be displayed on the information terminal 2 of the corresponding user like the message of the company PR in the book.

As described above, when the user who has received the reservation number wants to print an image assigned with the reservation number, he / she goes to the store where the multi-copy machine 4 is installed and prints by inputting the reservation number from the multi-copy machine 4. Let it run. That is, when the reservation number is input, the multi-copy machine 4 transmits the reservation number to the print service server 20. The image data transmission unit 29 in the print service server 20 reads the image data associated with the transmitted reservation number from the image data storage unit 31 and sends it back. As a result, the multi-copy machine 4 that has received the image data prints the image data. At this time, the charging device 58
Collect the charges that were previously communicated by processing in the same way as before.

As described above, the print service server 20 according to the present embodiment is the image data that is estimated to be likely to be printed among the image data posted by the SNS user (in the example of the present embodiment, a person takes a picture). The selected image data is automatically selected, the selected image data is automatically registered, and the reservation number of the image data is notified to the SNS user. As a result, the SNS user can transfer the image data from the multi-copy machine 4 without any setting for printing the image data automatically registered in the print service server 20 among the posted image data to the SNS and the print service. You can print.

By the way, the above description does not particularly mention the transmission timing of the notification message. That is, when the analysis result of the posted data is obtained and the image data is registered in the image data storage unit 31 when executing the image data registration process, the print service server 20 sends a notification message at the timing when the image data is registered. Assume that you want to send. However, the processing control unit 3
In the case of 0, a notification message may be transmitted to the notification message transmission unit 28 in a time transmission condition, for example, a time zone such as the daytime when printing is likely to occur. Alternatively, a notification message is transmitted to the notification message transmission unit 28 when a moving user passes in the vicinity of the installation location of the multi-copy machine 4 in cooperation with a local transmission condition, for example, a GPS function built in the information terminal 2 You may make it make it. As described above, if the notification message is transmitted when the time or place condition is met, the possibility that the image data is printed by the SNS user may be improved.

In the present embodiment, when posted by the user, the SNS system 10 immediately transmits post data based on the post to the print service server 20 in a so-called dripping manner. Then, the right or wrong of image data registration is determined by the analyzing means 22 to 26 provided in the print service server 20. However, the analysis means 22 to 26 may be provided in the SNS system 10 and the posting of the image data may be determined by analyzing the posted data on the SNS system 10 side. Only when registering image data, the SNS system 10 may notify the print service server 20 of information necessary for registering image data and transmitting a notification message, for example, conversation data. This is considered to be effective from the viewpoint of security and the amount of data transfer, since it is not necessary to transmit all the posted data to the print service server 20.

Further, in the present exemplary embodiment, the case where the image data is registered in the print service server 20 is a person image and the case where the number of comments is equal to or greater than the threshold value have been described as examples. For example, it is assumed that image data in which a person's face is detected (a photograph in which a person is photographed) is relatively likely to be printed, for example, compared to a photographic image with only a landscape. Also,
This is because if the number of comments (the number of users who responded to posted messages) is large, it is estimated that the number of prints of image data increases accordingly. Therefore, when image data that does not meet such image data registration conditions is registered, the storage capacity may be wasted, which is avoided. However, the registration condition of the image data need not be limited to this. Instead of or in addition to the registration conditions described above, for example, the number of participants in the group in which the image data is registered, the number of messages posted within a certain period in the case of LINE, etc. The usage status, posting status, and the like may be set as image data registration conditions.

Also, by discounting the image data printing fee according to the number of users to whom the notification message is sent and the actual number of prints from the multi-copy machine 4, or by sending a notification message such as a time sale, etc. Sales promotion such as guiding an SNS user to printing may be performed.

In this embodiment, the existing SNS and the existing print service are seamlessly linked to each other. However, the print service is newly incorporated in the existing SNS, or vice versa. An SNS may be newly incorporated. Of course, S
A system in which NS and the print service are integrated may be newly constructed.
