Further, in the areas 644 to 648 for displaying the information of each user to be split, the split amounts 645B to 648B of each user, the staying time 645C to 648C of each user, respectively, are associated with the user IDs 644A to 648A, respectively. The settlement states 645D to 648D are displayed. Note that, in the example of FIG. 5A, since the payment state of the user B is “unpaid”, the payment state is displayed as “pay” and the “pay” button 645E is displayed. In the example of FIGS. 5A and 6E, the display control unit 324 of the terminal 120B has already performed the following steps S14-1 to S17 on the user C. The payment status is displayed as "paid".

Further, the display control unit 324 of the terminal 120B causes the information of the users whose payment status is “unpaid” and “unapproved” to be displayed in a different display mode from the information of the user whose payment status is “paid”. May be. In the example of FIG. 6E, the display control unit 324 of the terminal 120B displays an area 645 for displaying the information of the user B whose payment status is “unpaid” and an area 647 for displaying the information of the user D in red or the like. I am letting you. Further, the area 648 for displaying the information of the user E whose payment status is “unapproved” is displayed in yellow or the like. The control unit 313 of the server 110 may send the remind message to the terminal 120 of the user who does not pay the split payment for a predetermined period or longer.

Subsequently, the reception unit 321 of the terminal 120B or the like receives an operation (payment operation) for approving the payment of the installment payment for each user from each user (steps S14-1 to 4). Here, the reception unit 321 of the terminal 120B receives from the user B the pressing of the “pay” button 645E in FIG. 6E.

Subsequently, the transmission/reception unit 322 of the terminal 120B or the like returns a payment approval response to the server 110 (steps S15-1 to S4). Here, the control unit 313 of the server 110 updates the settlement status of each user to “paid” in the bill sharing information stored in the bill sharing information storage unit 3151 of FIG. 5A. Then, the transmission/reception unit 312 of the server 110 notifies each terminal 120 of the updated payment state. As a result, in the bill sharing information display screen 641 displayed on each terminal 120 thereafter, the payment status of the user who has completed the payment is displayed as “paid”, so that each user who has already completed the payment and who has completed the payment You can know if you are unpaid.

Subsequently, the control unit 313 of the server 110 subtracts the split amount for each user from the balance of the user B or the like such as the terminal 120B in the user information stored in the user information storage unit 3152 (step S16).

(User information storage unit 3152)
In the example of FIG. 5B, the user information storage unit 3152 stores the balance, the user IDs of the users for whom a predetermined relationship is set, and the history of position information in association with the user IDs. The user ID is identification information of the user. The balance is the balance of the user in the payment service provided by the server 110. The balance may include, for example, the amount of money deposited (charged) from a bank account or a store such as a convenience store. The user ID of the user to whom the predetermined relationship is set is, for example, the user ID of the user set as a friend in the SNS or the like provided by the server 110. The history of position information is a history of the current position acquired by the user's terminal 120.

Subsequently, the control unit 313 of the server 110 adds the split amount subtracted from the balance of each user to the balance of the user A (step S17). In the example of FIG. 4, the user A first pays the price in a batch to recover the burden on each user, but instead of this, each user splits the account of the store. The amount may be settled.

The display control unit 324 of each terminal 120 may display the split bill information display screen 641 of FIG. 6E based on the information acquired from the server 110 in response to the user's operation. Further, the display control unit 324 of the terminal 120A corresponds to each user with a button (“paid” button) for updating the payment status of each user to “paid” on the split bill information display screen 641 of FIG. 6E. It may be attached and displayed. When the "paid" button associated with the one user is pressed, the transmission/reception unit 322 of the terminal 120A transmits a request to the server 110 to update the settlement status of the one user to "paid". Then, the control unit 313 of the server 110 updates the settlement state of the one user to “paid” in the split bill information stored in the split bill information storage unit 3151 of FIG. 5A. Thereby, for example, when the user A, who is the secretary, receives an installment amount of cash or the like from another user, the settlement status of the other user can be set to “paid” by the operation of the user A. ..

<<Extraction process of splitting candidate>>
Next, an example of the process of extracting the splitting object candidates when displaying the splitting object selection screen in step S1 of FIG. 4 will be described.

In step S1 of FIG. 4, the transmission/reception unit 322 of the terminal 120A acquires the information of the candidate of the splitting target user from the server 110, and the display control unit 324 displays the acquired candidate user of the splitting target selection screen 601 of FIG. 6A. May be displayed on. In this case, the transmitting/receiving unit 312 of the server 110 receives the position information of each terminal 120 from each terminal 120 at a predetermined timing (eg, regular timing). Then, the control unit 313 of the server 110 selects a user of the terminal 120 located within a predetermined range (for example, within a radius of 20 m) from the reference position, and transmits information of the selected user to the terminal 120A by the transmission/reception unit 322. Good. In this case, the control unit 313 of the server 110 may set the current position of the terminal 120A or the position of the address of the store or the like designated by the user A as the reference position. As a result, other users near the user A or in the store at the venue can be extracted as candidates for the user to be split.

In addition, the control unit 313 of the server 110 may select a candidate for a user to be split based on the social graph.

In this case, the control unit 313 of the server 110 sets, for example, the predetermined relationship stored in the user information storage unit 3152 of FIG. 5B among the users of the terminal 120 located within a predetermined range from the current position of the terminal 120A. The candidate of the user to be split may be selected based on the user ID of the user who is present. In this case, for example, the control unit 313 of the server 110 sets a predetermined relationship with a user (a friend user) who has a predetermined relationship with the user A and a user who has a predetermined relationship with the user A. The user (user of a friend who is a friend) may be selected. As a result, among the other users near the user A, the user who is considered to be eating and drinking with the user A can be extracted as the candidate for the user to be split. In addition, the predetermined relationship means that the server 110 or the terminal 120 stores a predetermined relationship between two or more users. By way of example and not limitation, the predetermined relationship may be a relationship that has approved mutual relationship building, a relationship in which at least one has offered to build a relationship, a relationship built based on user information, a relationship built based on user behavior, or a predetermined relationship. It may include a state in which the relationship is established by satisfying the condition. Note that the relationship constructed based on the user information may include a relationship in which users having one or more identical or similar user information are associated with each other, and the relationship constructed based on the user behavior is one or more. It may also include a relationship in which users having the same or similar user behavior of are related to each other. Also, as an example and not by way of limitation, not only the second user having a predetermined relationship with the first user but also the second user having a predetermined relationship with the user having the predetermined relationship with the first user The third user (friend of friend) who is set may be included.

Further, the user having a predetermined relationship with the user (user having a predetermined relationship with the user) may be, for example, without limitation, all users having a predetermined relationship with the user, or a predetermined predetermined value. The number of users may be, or the degree of intimacy may be more than a predetermined degree.

Here, the degree of intimacy with the user within a predetermined period (may be a fixed period such as one month or two months, or a period from when a predetermined relationship is established to the present) The degree may be determined such that the degree of intimacy increases in descending order of the amount of messages transmitted and received between them. Alternatively, the degree of intimacy may be determined so that the degree of intimacy increases in descending order of the number of transactions (including the sale of goods, the transmission/reception/exchange of assets, etc.) between users within a predetermined period.

Further, the degree of intimacy may be a degree to which the degree of intimacy is determined such that the degree of intimacy becomes higher as the length of the period from the establishment of the predetermined relationship to the present becomes longer. The length of the period from the establishment of the predetermined relationship to the present may be an absolute value or a relative value among one or more users having a predetermined relationship with the user.

Further, with regard to a plurality of other users having a predetermined relationship with the user, the closeness is such that the closer the other users are within a predetermined range from the user's position, the higher the closeness is. The degree may be determined. In addition, the degree of intimacy is a relationship estimated for a plurality of users who have a predetermined relationship with the user based on the period from when the predetermined relationship was established to the present time and the position information of each user (for example, family members). The degree of intimacy may be determined to be higher as the relationship is estimated to be higher.

Further, the degree of intimacy is a degree to which the degree of intimacy is determined such that the greater the number of users in common with the user (the number of common friends) is, the higher the degree of intimacy among a plurality of other users having a predetermined relationship with the user. It may be.

Also, the degree of intimacy is determined so that the higher the number of users who have a predetermined relationship with a user who is communicating with the user and who have a predetermined relationship, the higher the degree of intimacy. It may be the degree to be performed.

The degree of intimacy is the degree of intimacy determined so that the higher the degree of similarity between the user's own attribute and each of the attributes of a plurality of users having a predetermined relationship with the user, the higher the degree of intimacy. Good. The user's attributes may be interest or interest, by way of example and not limitation.

Further, in step S1 of FIG. 4, the control unit 323 of the terminal 120A acquires the information of the candidate for the user to be split from the other terminal 120 through the short-range wireless communication, and displays the acquired user of the other terminal 120. The control unit 324 may display the split object selection screen 601 of FIG. 6A. In this case, the near field wireless communication may be any as long as wireless communication can be established between the terminals 120 at a relatively short distance. The short-range wireless communication includes, for example and without limitation, Wi-Fi, RFID (Radio Frequency Identifier), NFC (Near Field Communication), BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), ultrasonic waves, and the like.

As a result, other users near the user A can be extracted as candidates for the user to be split. In addition, the control unit 323 of the terminal 120A may select the candidate of the splitting target user based on the social graph. In this case, the control unit 323 of the terminal 120A selects, for example, a user (a friend user) who has a predetermined relationship with the user A among the users of the other terminals 120 detected by the near field communication. The selected user may be displayed on the split object selection screen 601 of FIG. 6A by the display control unit 324.

Further, in step S1 of FIG. 4, the control unit 323 of the terminal 120A, in response to the operation of the user A, captures a group photo or a moving image of each user participating in the event, and captures the captured image (still image). Alternatively, the face of each user may be image-recognized from (or a moving image) to specify each user, and the specified users may be displayed on the split target selection screen 601 of FIG. 6A by the display control unit 324. The image recognition process may be executed by the server 110. In this case, the control unit 323 of the terminal 120A transmits the captured image to the server 110, and the control unit 313 of the server 110 identifies each user by performing image recognition of the face of each user from the received image. The information of each user may be transmitted to the terminal 120A.

≪Calculation process of split payment amount≫
Next, with reference to FIG. 7, an example of a process in which the control unit 313 of the server 110 in step S11 of FIG. 4 calculates the split amount will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing for calculating the split allowance amount according to the embodiment.

In step S101, the control unit 313 of the server 110 identifies the start date and time and the end date and time of the event to be split. Here, the control unit 313 of the server 110 may receive, from the terminal 120A, information on the start date and time and the end date and time of the event designated by the user A in the process of step S2 of FIG. 4, for example. Alternatively, the date and time when the terminal 120A accepts the operation of splitting by each user from the user A in the process of step S9 in FIG. 4 may be the end date and time of the event. Alternatively, referring to the shooting date and time added as metadata to each image uploaded from each terminal 120 to the image sharing site for the event provided by the server 110, the oldest shooting date and newest shooting date and time are They may be the start date and time and the end date and time of the event, respectively.

Subsequently, the control unit 313 of the server 110 identifies the time (staying time) that each user who is the subject of splitting is participating in the event (step S102). Here, the control unit 313 of the server 110 may specify the staying time of each user based on the history of the position information of each user stored in the user information storage unit 3152 of FIG. 5B. Thus, each user can automatically specify the stay time to the server 110.

In this case, for example, the control unit 313 of the server 110 first acquires the position information of the terminal 120 of each user from the terminal 120 of each user at regular timings, and manages the acquired position information of each user. May be. Then, the control unit 313 of the server 110 may calculate the time during which each user stays at a predetermined place between the start date and time and the end date and time of the event. Here, the control unit 313 of the server 110 may set the predetermined place within a predetermined range (for example, within a radius of 20 m) from the position designated by the user A in the process of step S2 of FIG. 4, for example. Alternatively, the control unit 313 of the server 110 sets the predetermined place within a predetermined range (for example, within a radius of 20 m) from the position of the terminal 120A when the process of step S2 or step S9 of FIG. 4 is performed, for example. May be

Alternatively, the control unit 313 of the server 110 may specify the staying time of each user, for example, based on the information of the participation time and the leaving time of each user who receives the input from the user A at the terminal 120A. This allows the server 110 to specify the stay time even for a user who refuses to notify the position information.

Subsequently, the control unit 313 of the server 110 calculates the split payment amount for each user based on the staying time of each user (step S103). Here, the control unit 313 of the server 110 calculates such that the longer the stay is, the higher the split bill becomes. In this case, the control unit 313 of the server 110 may calculate the split payment amount of each user, for example, using the ratio of the staying time of each user as the ratio of the split payment amount of each user. In this case, in the example of FIG. 5A, the ratio of the staying time of each of the users A to E is 2:2:1:1:1. Therefore, for example, the split payment amount of the user A is calculated to be 7280 yen, which is 2/7 of the price of 25480 yen.

Note that the control unit 313 of the server 110, when the basic fee of the split payment amount of each user is set by the user A or the like, for each difference amount between the price and the total amount of the basic fee of each user, The burden on each user may be calculated based on the staying time of the user. In this case, the control unit 313 of the server 110 sets the total amount of the basic charge and the burden amount for the difference as the split amount for each user. Thereby, for example, when ordering a course meal only for a meal and ordering a drink by themselves, the price of the course meal can be paid to each user regardless of the staying time. In addition, when the price is not divisible, the control unit 313 of the server 110 may raise the amount below the decimal point of the split payment amount of each user. Alternatively, the control unit 313 of the server 110 may round down the amount of money after the decimal point of each user and allow the operator (payment operator) of the server 110 to bear the shortfall.

Hereinafter, an example of the process in the embodiment will be described. The processing of each of the following embodiments can be executed in combination with the processing of other embodiments.

<<First Example>>
The first example is an example in which one user can instead pay at least a part of the split payment amount of another user. According to the first embodiment, for example, a process can be executed in the case where the boss provides at least a part of the subsidy amount of the subordinate and the senior provides at least a part of the subsidy amount of the junior.

<<Processing of First Example>>
The process of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 8A and 8B. 8A and 8B are diagrams illustrating an example of a display screen of the terminal 120 according to the embodiment.

Hereinafter, an example in which the user B of the terminal 120B pays at least a part of the split payment amount of the user D will be described. It should be noted that in the following processing, the user B may pay or not pay the user B's allowance, and the user D may pay or not pay the user D's allowance. Even when a user other than the user B pays at least a part of the split payment amount of the other user, the processing is the same as the following processing.

When the display control unit 324 of the terminal 120B is pressing the area 647 of the user D by the user B while displaying the split bill information display screen 641 of FIG. 6E, the terminal 120B displays the payment amount designation screen of FIG. 8A. 811 is displayed. In the example of FIG. 8A, the display control unit 324 of the terminal 120B inputs a message 812 indicating the split allowance calculated for the user D and the amount paid by the user B instead of the split allowance calculated for the user D. An input field 813 and a “pay” button 814 are displayed. In the example of FIG. 8A, user B has entered 2000 yen in the input field 813.

Here, when the “pay” button 814 is pressed, the transmitting/receiving unit 322 of the terminal 120B transmits a proxy payment request to the server 110. Here, the proxy payment request includes the user ID of the user D and information on the amount of money input in the input field 813.

Then, the control unit 313 of the server 110 indicates that the settlement status of the user D is “unpaid (2000 yen was paid by the user B on behalf of the agent)” in the split payment information storage unit 3151 of FIG. 5A. To update. Then, the control unit 313 of the server 110 notifies each terminal 120 of the updated payment state. Then, the display control unit 324 of each terminal 120 updates the display screen from the split allowance information display screen 641 of FIG. 6E to the split allowance information display screen 821 of FIG. 8B. In the example of FIG. 8B, the display control unit 324 of each terminal 120 causes the original split amount 822A of the user D to be displayed with a line of strike-through in comparison with the example of FIG. The remaining split bill 822B is displayed. The remaining split bill amount 822B is 1640 yen, which is the original split bill amount of 3640 yen minus 2000 yen paid by the user B as a proxy. Further, a message 823 indicating that the user B has paid 2000 yen on behalf of the user D is displayed. As a result, the payment status of the user D is displayed as “unpaid (2000 yen was paid by the user B on behalf of the user)” on the split bill information display screen 641 displayed on each terminal 120 thereafter, so that each user Can know that the user B has received a part of the share of the user D.

Then, the control unit 313 of the server 110 subtracts the amount of money input in the input field 813 from the balance of the user B of the terminal 120B in the user information stored in the user information storage unit 3152. Then, the control unit 313 of the server 110 determines whether or not the user D has already paid the split payment amount of the user D, and if it has been paid, adds the subtracted amount to the balance of the user D. On the other hand, when the payment has not been made, the subtracted amount is added to the balance of the user A.

It should be noted that one user may be allowed to pay an amount of money larger than the split payment amount for the one user without designating the target user. Hereinafter, an example in which the user B pays 10000 yen when the calculated allowance amount for the user B is 7280 yen will be described.

First, the accepting unit 321 of the terminal 120B accepts an operation of paying a larger amount than the calculated split amount for the user B on the payment amount designation screen 811 or the like in FIG. 8A. Then, the transmission/reception unit 322 of the terminal 120B transmits a payment request of the amount designated by the user B to the server 110.

Then, the control unit 313 of the server 110 updates the payment status of the user B to “paid”, and the amount of money specified for the user B is 10000 yen and the calculated amount of allowance is 7280 yen for the user B. The difference of 2720 yen is calculated. Then, the control unit 313 of the server 110 divides the calculated difference amount of 2720 yen by each user other than the user B, or an amount distributed based on the ratio of the stay time of each user, from the divided amount of each user. Subtract. In this case, the control unit 313 of the server 110 may distribute a large amount by a predetermined ratio or a predetermined amount to the user A who is the secretary of the event. Further, the control unit 313 of the server 110 may distribute a larger amount as the order of payment is earlier. Alternatively, a larger amount may be distributed as the time from the end date and time of the event to the date and time when the split payment is paid is shorter. In this case, for the user who paid the split bill, the distributed amount may be added to the balance of the user. This can give each user an incentive to pay early.

Then, the control unit 313 of the server 110 stores information indicating that the amount subtracted for each user by the user B has been paid on behalf of the settlement state of each user, and the settlement state of each user. Is displayed on each terminal 120.

When the control unit 313 of the server 110 receives a payment refusal request from the terminal 120 of a user whose settlement status is “unpaid” or “unapproved”, the control unit 313 selects one of the users to be split. The payment refusal request is transferred to each of the terminals of users other than the user. Then, when the approval response is received from the terminal 120 of the user other than the one user, the share amount for the one user is shared among the users other than the one user based on the stay time. As described above, the split payment amount of each user may be calculated again. Note that in this case, the control unit 313 of the server 110 may transfer the payment refusal request only to the terminal of the user whose payment status is “unpaid” among the users to be split. As a result, the paid user can be prevented from increasing the split bill after paying.

<<Second Example>>
The second example is an example in which the split bill is calculated also using the information of the messaging service provided by the server 110. According to the second embodiment, for example, a plurality of users can easily share the payment.

<Functional configuration of the second embodiment>
FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the server 110 and the terminal 120 according to the second embodiment. The example of FIG. 9 is different from the example of FIG. 3 in that the storage unit 315 of the server 110 has a messaging information storage unit 3153 and the server 110 has a messaging processing unit 316.

The messaging processing unit 316 performs, for example, a process of providing a messaging service by SNS to the user of the terminal 120.

<<Process of Second Embodiment>>
The process of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the messaging information stored in the messaging information storage unit 3153 according to the second embodiment. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of the terminal 120 according to the second embodiment.

In the second embodiment, first, in step S2 of FIG. 4, the receiving unit 321 of the terminal 120A receives, for example, an event name and an operation of designating each user who participates in the event. Then, the messaging processing unit 316 of the server 110 sets the group for the messaging service for the event based on the information specified by the user A. Then, each user included in the group transmits and receives messages and contents such as images using the messaging service provided by the server 110. Here, the messaging processing unit 316 of the server 110 stores the content transmitted/received in the group in the messaging information storage unit 3153.

(Messaging information storage unit 3153)
In the example of FIG. 10, the messaging information storage unit 3153 stores the user IDs, split bill IDs, and transmission/reception history of each participating user in association with the group ID. The group ID is, for example, identification information of a group of each user who participates in an event such as eating and drinking that splits. The user ID of each user who participates is the user ID of each user who participates in an event such as eating and drinking that splits. The transmission/reception history includes information about each content, the transmission date/time of each content, and the user ID of the user who transmitted each content.

In the example of FIG. 11, the display control unit 324 of each terminal 120 displays, on the instant messaging screen 1101, the event name 1102, the ID or display name 1103 of each user who participates in the event, and the user who has transmitted each content 1104C to 1107C. The IDs or display names 1104A to 1107A, the icons 1104B to 1107B of the respective users, and the transmission dates 1104D to 1107D that are the dates and times when the contents are transmitted are displayed. Note that “Store A” of 1106A is a user of the Bot account of the store where the event is held, and when the user sends a message such as “4 beverages of XX” of the content 1105C, the store is AI. Accept orders by.

Then, in step S11 of FIG. 4, the control unit 313 of the server 110 specifies the staying time of each user to be split based on the content transmitted and received in the group stored in the messaging information storage unit 3153, Calculate the split allowance for each user.

Here, the control unit 313 of the server 110 may specify the start date and time and the end date and time of the event to be split in step S101 of FIG. 7 by analyzing the meaning of each message by AI or the like. In this case, for example, the transmission date and time 1104D of the content 1104C of "I will start from now" transmitted by the user A may be specified as the start date and time of the event.

Further, in step S102 of FIG. 7, the control unit 313 of the server 110 may identify the time of participation of each user of the split target by participating in the event by analyzing the meaning of each message by AI or the like. .. In this case, for example, the transmission date and time 1107D of the content 1107C of “arrival” transmitted by the user D may be specified as the date and time when the user D starts participating in the event. In addition, the transmission date and time of a message such as “I'll be back” sent from the user may be specified as the date and time when the user has finished participating in the event.

Regarding the above description, the following items will be further disclosed.
