Description

  The present invention relates to a user information management system, a user information management server, and a program for managing information on user IDs assigned to the same person.

  In recent years, it has become common for one person to have user IDs for various sites. For advertisers and the like, managing information related to the same person on the network together is useful for advertisement distribution and statistical analysis. For example, Patent Literature 1 describes that browsing history and the like by the same person are collectively managed by associating a plurality of terminals used by the same user via a network.

Japanese Patent No. 589331

  However, the conventional system described in Patent Document 1 cannot manage a plurality of user IDs assigned to the same person in association with each other. For this reason, user attribute information, usage history, and the like held at each site cannot be mutually used at each site.

  The present invention has been made in view of the circumstances described above, and an object thereof is to automatically associate and manage different user IDs assigned to the same person.

A user information management system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:
A user information management server that manages different user IDs assigned to the same person, and

A second position information acquisition unit for acquiring a history of position information about the user of the second ID;
A location information history comparison unit that matches location information about the user of the first ID with location information about the user of the second ID and extracts a history indicating that the user exists in the same area at the same time zone; ,
When a predetermined number or more of histories indicating that they existed in the same area at the same time zone are extracted, it is determined that the first ID and the second ID are assigned to the same person, and two IDs And an ID linking determination unit for linking.

  Further, the ID association determination unit extracts a predetermined number or more of history indicating that the ID exists in the same area at the same time zone, and the extracted history areas of different time zones are separated by a certain distance or more. If there is, it may be determined that the first ID and the second ID are assigned to the same person.

  Moreover, you may make it either one of the positional information about the user of said 1st ID, and the positional information about the user of said 2nd ID be the positioning information of a user terminal.

  Moreover, you may make it either one of the positional information about the user of said 1st ID, and the positional information about the user of said 2nd ID be the reservation information of a facility.

A storage resource 45 such as a GPS receiver 46 is provided.

(ID association)
Next, a process for associating a plurality of IDs assigned to the same person according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  The user information management server 10 acquires member reservation information from the first service providing server 20 (step S101). The member reservation information includes information on the hotel reserved by each member and information on the reservation date and time (location information history). Further, the user information management server 10 acquires terminal position information (location information history) of the user terminal 40 possessed by the member from the second service providing server 30 (step S102).

  Next, the user information management server 10 extracts a record having the same first ID from the reservation information acquired from the first service providing server 20 (step S103). Further, the user information management server 10 extracts a record having the same second ID from the position information acquired from the second service providing server 30 (step S104).

  Next, the user information management server 10 matches the extracted record of the reservation information with the extracted record of the terminal location information, and extracts a set of records indicating that they existed in the same area at the same time zone (step S105). ). Specifically, for example, the location information acquisition date / time of the terminal location information of the second service is included between the check-in date / time and the check-out date / time of the reservation information of the first service, and the hotel of the reservation information record A record in which the location information of the location and terminal location information records is included in the same area (for example, the distance between the two points is within 1 km) is extracted.

  The record matching process will be described with reference to a specific example shown in FIG. For example, a record whose ID (first ID) extracted from the reservation information is “AB123” and a record whose ID (second ID) extracted from the terminal position information is “CD456” are matched. As a result of the matching, three sets of records (1) to (3) shown in FIG. 3 are extracted because the time zone matches the area. That is, in each set, the location information acquisition date / time of the terminal location information record “CD456” is included between the check-in date / time and the check-out date / time of the reservation information record “AB123”. The location information of the hotel location and the terminal location information record is within a certain distance.

  Next, the user information management server 10 determines whether or not the number of extracted record sets is equal to or greater than a predetermined number (for example, three sets) (step S106). If the number is greater than or equal to the predetermined number (step S106: YES), it is determined that the first ID and the second ID are assigned to the same person, and the two IDs are linked (step S107). The user information management server 10 performs the same matching process for other IDs.

  The associated ID information is held in the external storage device 12 and is exchanged between the service provided by the first service providing server 20 and the service provided by the second service providing server 30 for history information related to each ID. Can be used. For example, when delivering advertisements to members in the second service providing server 30, it is possible to provide travel destination information and the like at an optimal timing by using the history information of the ID of the associated hotel reservation site. . Further, the first service providing server 20 can perform statistical analysis etc. on the behavior of the hotel reservation person by using the position information of the members managed by the second service providing server 30.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, records including location information histories for two types of IDs are matched, and when a certain number or more of data indicating the same area is detected in the same time zone, those records are detected. It was determined that the IDs belonged to the same person and managed in association with each other. Accordingly, different user IDs assigned to the same person can be automatically associated and managed. In the present embodiment, hotel reservation information on a specific schedule and location information of the user terminal 40 are used as the history of two types of location information, but the location information history is not limited thereto. For example, instead of hotel reservation information, an accommodation record indicating that the user has actually visited the hotel may be used as the position information. In addition to various reservation information such as restaurants and movie theaters, store records, etc., the date and time within a certain range such as information on the residence and work location of the user registered in advance linked to the user ID Any information that can identify a time zone and a location can be used as position information.

  In addition, when two types of ID records are matched, there are a plurality of sets of data indicating that the same area is in the same time zone, and among them, areas of sets having different time zones of a certain number (for example, 3 sets) or more May be determined as belonging to the same person when they are separated by a certain distance or more (for example, 200 km or more). For example, as in the example shown in FIG. 3, when a set of histories indicating that they are in Osaka on March 29, Tokyo on July 2, and Nagano on August 29, is extracted. Since all the distances between the three points are 200 km or more, it is determined that the two IDs belong to the same person. On the other hand, even if a plurality of sets of histories are extracted, if their positions are within a certain distance (for example, all within Tokyo), they may not be determined as IDs assigned to the same person. Even if the time zone and position information match in two IDs, if the location is always limited to a nearby place, there is a possibility that it is a coincidence, such as a resident in the vicinity. On the other hand, the possibility of being different persons is reduced by including a set of histories indicating that they were at some distant places in different time zones, and it is determined whether or not they are the same person Accuracy can be increased.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be implemented in various other forms without departing from the gist of the present invention. For this reason, the said embodiment is only a mere illustration in all points, and is not interpreted limitedly. For example, the above-described processing steps can be arbitrarily changed in order as long as the processing contents do not contradict each other, or can be executed in parallel.
