  (Step S1317) The user processing unit 32 configures information about the candidate evaluation to be transmitted using the information about the candidate evaluation received in step S1313. The information to be transmitted usually has a user identifier.

  (Step S1318) The user transmitting unit 33 transmits the information configured in step S1317 to the information processing device 1. It returns to step S1301.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 13, the processing is terminated by powering off or interruption for terminating the processing.

  Hereinafter, a specific operation of the information system A according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram of the information system A.

  Now, a store information management table having the structure shown in FIG. 14 is stored in the store information storage unit 111. In the store information management table, one or more records having “store ID”, “store position information”, and “product information” are stored. “Store ID” is a store identifier. The “product information” includes “product ID”, “product name”, “price”, “product image”, and “product type”. “Product ID” is a product identifier. “Product image” is the file name of the image of the product here. It is assumed that the file of the product image is stored in the storage unit 11. “Product type” is product type information. The store information management table may be prepared in advance by, for example, an administrator of the information processing apparatus 1, or a store that wants to participate in the present system may be input.

  Further, the advertisement information storage unit 112 stores an advertisement information management table having a structure shown in FIG. The advertisement information management table stores one or more records having “advertisement ID”, “advertisement information”, and “advertisement selection condition”. “Advertisement ID” is an advertisement identifier. “Advertisement information” is a file name of an advertisement here. The advertisement information corresponding to the file name of the advertisement is stored in the storage unit 11. The “advertising selection condition” has “product condition”, “candidate condition”, and “user condition”. Note that NULL “−” in the advertisement selection condition indicates that there is no corresponding condition. Also, it indicates that the advertisement information corresponding to the advertisement selection condition of NULL (all "-") can be selected without any condition. The “advertisement selection condition” may take one or more of “product condition”, “candidate condition”, and “user condition”. The advertisement information management table may be prepared in advance by, for example, an administrator of the information processing apparatus 1, or may be input by a company that wants to insert an advertisement.

  The candidate information storage unit 113 stores a candidate information management table having the structure shown in FIG. The candidate information management table stores one or more records having “partner ID”, “name”, “contact information”, “candidate position information”, “candidate evaluation information”, and “position accumulation flag”. The “candidate position information” includes “lifestyle route information”, “planned route information”, and “current position information”. “Partner ID” is a candidate identifier. “Lifestyle route information” is a table name (or a file name) in which lifestyle route information is stored. “Scheduled route information” is a file name in which the scheduled route information is stored. The lifestyle route information and the planned route information are stored in the storage unit 11. “Current position information” is (latitude, longitude). The “candidate evaluation information” is a numerical value from 1 to 5 here. If the “position accumulation flag” is “1”, it indicates that the current absolute position information may be stored, and if “0”, it indicates that the current absolute position information cannot be stored. The candidate information management table includes, for example, information input by the candidate using the candidate terminal 2. However, the lifestyle path information is, for example, information automatically acquired by the above-described processing. The candidate evaluation information is, for example, information automatically acquired by the above-described processing. Further, the current position information is information transmitted from the candidate terminal 2.

  Further, the user information storage unit 114 stores a user information management table having a structure shown in FIG. The user information management table stores one or more records having “user ID”, “name”, “contact information”, “home address”, “user evaluation information”, “sex” and “age”.

However, the user evaluation information is, for example, information automatically acquired by the above-described processing.

  The candidate location information storage unit 115 stores a candidate location information management table having the structure shown in FIG. One or more records having “partner ID”, “absolute position information”, and “time information” are stored in the candidate location information management table. The absolute position information and the partner ID in the candidate location information management table are information transmitted from the candidate terminal 2, and the time information is information acquired by the processing unit 13.

  Further, the contract information storage unit 116 stores a contract information management table having the structure shown in FIG. The contract information management table stores one or more records having “ID”, “partner ID”, “user ID”, “contract time information”, and “delivery-related information”. The “delivery-related information” includes “product ID”, “quantity”, “price”, “delivery destination information”, “delivery conditions”, and “partner reward”. “ID” is information for identifying a record. “Product ID” is a product identifier. "Product ID" may include two or more product identifiers. “Quantity” is the quantity of goods to be delivered. “Price” is the price of the delivery item. “Price” may include a reward for the candidate. “Delivery destination information” is an address, absolute position information, and the like, and any information may be used as long as the information indicates a delivery destination. The “delivery condition” is a delivery condition included in the delivery request. “Partner reward” is a reward amount acquired by the processing unit 13 and is a reward amount obtained by the candidate for delivery. The information in the contract information management table is information configured by the processing unit 13 at the time of contract.

  In such a situation, the following three specific examples will be described. Example 1 is an example in which lifestyle path information is automatically acquired and stored. Example 2 is a case where a delivery contract is completed after the user inputs a delivery request. Note that the specific example 2 includes a case where the contract is canceled once. Example 3 is a case where advertisement information is output.

(Specific example 1)
Now, it is assumed that the partner with the partner ID “001” moves as shown in FIG. 20 and a plurality of candidate location information is sequentially transmitted from the candidate terminal 2 to the information processing apparatus 1 during the movement. . The route that the partner has moved is, for example, 2001 in FIG.

  Then, the candidate location information receiving unit 123 of the information processing device 1 sequentially receives the candidate location information from the candidate terminal 2. Then, the candidate location information accumulating unit 133 acquires the location accumulation flag “1” paired with the partner ID “001” included in the candidate location information from the management table of FIG. 16 and accumulates the candidate location information. Is also good. Next, the candidate location information storage unit 133 sequentially stores the received candidate location information. Then, a record paired with the partner ID “001” in FIG. 18 is sequentially added.

  Then, the lifestyle route information acquisition unit 134 determines that it is time to acquire the lifestyle route information, and acquires, for example, lifestyle route information of the partner with the partner ID “001” as follows.

  That is, first, the lifestyle route information acquisition unit 134 acquires candidate location information paired with the partner ID “001” from the candidate location information management table (FIG. 18).

  Then, through the processing described with reference to FIG. 11, the lifestyle route information acquisition unit 134 acquires lifestyle route information. FIG. 21 shows an example of the acquired lifestyle route information. The lifestyle route information acquisition unit 134 has “partner ID”, “direction”, “start point”, “time information”, “end point”, “time information”, “route”, “means”, and “state”. The lifestyle route information may include one or more “routes”. The lifestyle route information acquisition unit 134 detects a reciprocating route, and acquires and accumulates either “go” or “return” information for the “direction”. Further, the lifestyle route information acquisition unit 134 acquires a “route” from the absolute position information using map information (not shown) in the storage unit 11. Here, the “route” is point information, and is, for example, a station name, a point name around a station, a town name, an intersection name, or the like. Further, the lifestyle route information acquisition unit 134 acquires station names, spot names around stations, names of towns, names of intersections, and the like from the absolute position information using map information. Further, as described above, the lifestyle route information acquisition unit 134 acquires the “means” of the movement from the movement speed and accumulates it. The lifestyle route information acquiring unit 134 acquires a state (standby or moving) from the moving speed and accumulates the state.

  It is also assumed that the partner with partner ID “001” can browse the lifestyle route information of FIG. Then, it is assumed that the partner can specify, from the candidate terminal 2, a route that can accept the delivery request. That is, it is assumed that the partner designates a route and inputs “ON” to the candidate terminal 2 for the route. Then, the candidate receiving unit 21 of the candidate terminal 2 receives the information for identifying the route and “ON”. The candidate processing unit 22 converts the received information into information to be transmitted. Next, the candidate transmitting unit 23 transmits the configured information to the information processing device 1.

  Next, the receiving unit 12 of the information processing device 1 receives the information. Then, using the information for identifying the received route and “ON”, the lifestyle route information acquiring unit 134 stores the information indicating “ON” in association with the corresponding route. As a result, the lifestyle route information of the partner with the partner ID “001” is the table “table1” shown in FIG.

  The partner with the partner ID “001” can input a flag (position accumulation flag) indicating whether or not the route can be recorded from the candidate terminal 2 using a screen as shown in FIG. Then, only when the position accumulation flag is “ON”, the candidate terminal 2 transmits the candidate location information to the information processing device 1. Only when the position accumulation flag is “ON”, the information processing device 1 can receive and store the candidate location information.

  It is also assumed that the partner can use the screen as shown in FIG. Then, when the candidate terminal 2 receives the input, the candidate terminal 2 configures scheduled route information having the time information and transmits the scheduled route information to the information processing device 1. Note that the scheduled route information may be only information on time. The scheduled route information usually has a partner ID “001”. In addition, the partner may also input route information or location information as well as time information. In such a case, the planned route information also includes route information or information regarding the location where the partner is expected to be.

  Then, the receiving unit 12 of the information processing device 1 receives the scheduled route information. Then, the processing unit 13 accumulates the planned route information in a pair with the partner ID “001”.

  As described above, the lifestyle route information and the planned route information of the partner are accumulated.

(Specific example 2)
Now, the user "Bako Takada" receives a delivery request from the user terminal 3 "product identifier: G001, quantity: 2, delivery destination information: Minato-ku, Tokyo ... (home), delivery condition: candidate evaluation information> = It is assumed that "4" has been input. Then, the user receiving unit 31 receives the delivery request. Next, the user processing unit 32 configures the delivery request to be transmitted. Next, the user transmitting unit 33 transmits a delivery request to the information processing device 1.

  Next, the delivery request receiving unit 124 of the information processing device 1 receives the delivery request from the user terminal 3. Next, the candidate narrowing unit 135 checks the information “commodity identifier: G001, quantity: 2, delivery destination information: Minato-ku, Tokyo... (Home), delivery condition: candidate evaluation information> = 4) Acquire.

  Then, the candidate narrowing unit 135 performs a candidate narrowing process as described below using the acquired information.

That is, first, the candidate narrowing unit 135 acquires the store IDs “S001” and “S002” that are paired with the acquired product identifier “product identifier: G001” from the store information management table of FIG. Then, the candidate narrowing unit 135 stores the store location information “( _xs1 , _ys1 ), A station ( _xs2 , _ys2 )” paired with the store IDs “S001” and “S002” from the store information management table. get.

  Next, the candidate narrowing unit 135 acquires the delivery condition “delivery condition: candidate evaluation information> = 4” included in the received delivery request.

  Next, the candidate narrowing unit 135 uses the lifestyle route information, the planned route information, and the absolute position information of the candidate to execute the processing described with reference to FIGS. get. Here, it is assumed that the candidate narrowing unit 135 has acquired a plurality of partner IDs such as partner IDs “001” and “002”. The candidate evaluation information paired with these partner IDs satisfies “delivery condition: candidate evaluation information> = 4”.

  Next, the offer information forming unit 136 forms the offer information. That is, the offer information configuration unit 136 acquires, for example, information of a store paired with the store identifier “S001” and “S002” paired with the product identifier “G01” included in the received delivery request from the store information management table. I do. In addition, the offer information configuration unit 136 acquires, for example, a unique request identifier for the received delivery request. Then, the offer information configuring unit 136 configures the offer information using the acquired information and the information included in the delivery request. Here, the offer information is, for example, information of the store identified by the user identifier “U01”, the product identifier “G01”, the quantity “1”, and the store identifiers “S001” and “S002” paired with the product identifier (for example, Store location information, store name, etc.) and delivery destination information "Minato-ku, Tokyo ...".

  In addition, the offer information transmitting unit 141 acquires from the candidate information management table contact information that is paired with each of the partner IDs “001” and “002” acquired by the candidate narrowing unit 135. Then, the offer information transmitting unit 141 transmits the offer information to the partner (candidate terminal 2) indicated by the contact information.

  Next, the candidate terminal 2 of each partner receives the offer information, sets the data structure to output the offer information, and outputs the offer information.

  Then, it is assumed that the partner “Suzuki OO” with the partner ID “001” sees the offer information output to the candidate terminal 2 and first inputs the permission information to the candidate terminal 2. Then, the candidate terminal 2 receives the license information, makes the data structure to be transmitted, and transmits the license information to the information processing apparatus 1. The permission information includes a partner ID “001”, a request identifier for identifying a delivery request, and the like.

  Next, the license information receiving unit 125 of the information processing device 1 receives the license information from the candidate terminal 2. Using the request identifier included in the license information, the processing unit 13 detects that the first license information has been received in response to the delivery request.

  Then, since the first permission information has been received, the processing unit 13 determines that it is time to make a contract. Next, the processing unit 13 configures result information and the like indicating that the delivery of the product has been concluded. The result information includes, for example, a partner ID “001”, a user ID “U01”, contract time information, and delivery-related information. Note that the result information and the like here may be information constituting a part or all of the contract information.

  In addition, the processing unit 13 acquires advertisement information that satisfies the advertisement selection condition from the advertisement information management table in FIG.

  Next, the result information transmitting unit 142 transmits the configured result information, the acquired advertisement information, and the like to the user terminal 3 of the user with the user ID “U01”.

  Next, the contract information storage unit 137 forms contract information. Next, the contract information storage unit 137 stores the formed contract information in the contract information management table.

  Next, the user terminal 3 of the user with the user ID “U01” receives the result information, the advertisement information, and the like. Then, the user terminal 3 makes a data structure for outputting the result information and the like and outputs the data.

  As described above, the user who has requested delivery knows that the desired product is delivered.

  Here, it is assumed that the partner with the partner ID “001” has an accident and cannot be delivered. Then, it is assumed that the partner has input “cancellation information” to the candidate terminal 2. Then, it is assumed that the candidate terminal 2 receives the cancel information, makes the data structure to be transmitted, and transmits the cancel information to the information processing apparatus 1. It is assumed that the cancellation information has an ID for identifying a contract (for example, “request identifier”).

  Next, the cancel information receiving unit 126 of the information processing device 1 receives the cancel information from the candidate terminal 2.

  Next, the release processing unit 138 performs release processing corresponding to the received cancel information. That is, the cancellation processing unit 138 adds the cancel flag to the record having the request identifier included in the received cancel information.

  Next, the release processing unit 138 determines whether permission information having the same request identifier has been received. If it is received, it is assumed that the cancellation processing unit 138 has acquired the partner ID “002” of the partner information of the partner with the partner ID “001” which is temporally received next. Then, the cancellation processing unit 138 configures result information or the like having the partner ID “002”. The result information includes, for example, partner ID “002”, user ID “U01”, contract time information, and delivery-related information.

  In addition, the processing unit 13 acquires advertisement information that satisfies the advertisement selection condition from the advertisement information management table in FIG.

  Next, the result information transmitting unit 142 transmits new result information and the like to the user terminal 3 of the user with the user ID “U01”, including the configured result information and advertisement information.

  Next, the contract information storage unit 137 forms new contract information. Next, the contract information storage unit 137 stores the new contract information thus formed in the contract information management table.

  As a result, we were able to respond to sudden cancellations by partners.

  Note that the user can set the current location, arrival area, transit area, and the like of the partner, and input a delivery request, for example. In such a case, the delivery conditions include information specifying the range or current location of the partner, information specifying the arrival area, information specifying the passing area, and the like. Further, it is preferable that the setting of the delivery conditions can be performed using, for example, a map as shown in FIG. Note that reference numeral 2501 in FIG. 25 designates the range of the current location of the partner, 2502 designates the passing area, and 2503 designates the arrival area. At 2503, the information on the arrival area may constitute delivery destination information.

(Specific example 3)
As shown in the specific example 2 and the like, after the contract for the delivery request is made, the user terminal 3 of the user with the user ID “U01” receives the new result information, the advertisement information, and the like.

  Then, the user terminal 3 makes a data structure for outputting the result information and the like and outputs the data. Such an output example is shown in FIG. In FIG. 26, the information of the partner who delivers and the advertisement information are output. Reference numeral 2601 in FIG. 26 denotes an advertisement information output area.

  Next, it is assumed that the user has pressed this 2601. Then, the user accepting unit 31 accepts a click on the advertisement information. Next, the user processing unit 32 acquires a URL corresponding to 2601. Then, the user processing unit 32 configures the information of the click having the URL and the partner ID “002”. Next, the user transmission unit 33 transmits the configured click information to the information processing device 1.

  Next, the receiving unit 12 of the information processing device 1 receives, from the user terminal 3, information on a click on an advertisement.

  Next, the processing unit 13 acquires information (eg, a page) corresponding to the URL included in the received click information. Then, the transmitting unit 14 transmits such information to the user terminal 3.

  Next, the processing unit 13 updates the candidate evaluation information paired with the partner ID “002” corresponding to the received click so that the evaluation becomes higher.

  Through the above processing, the candidate evaluation information is updated. Then, as the candidate evaluation information becomes higher, the reward of the partner is increased.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide an appropriate mechanism that enables a general user to be a deliverer of a product.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide a mechanism in which a delivery candidate appropriately requests a general user to perform delivery using information on a lifestyle path used for commuting or going to school, for example.
