(2) Functional Configuration of Server As shown in FIG. 1, the server 10 includes a message processing unit 111, a contract unit 113, and a settlement unit 114 as functions realized by the control unit 11.

The message processing unit 111 has a function of managing a talk room for exchanging information between users. The message processing unit 111 relays the exchange of contents including the contents between the terminals provided with the contenting service provided by the server 10. That is, when the content is transmitted from a certain user to the talk room, the talk room is specified and the content is transmitted to another user belonging to the talk room.

The contract unit 113 detects whether or not a contract has been made while the users belonging to the same talk room are exchanging with each other. The contract unit 113 detects whether or not a contract has been generated based on the content being transmitted from the terminal 20 to the talk room. Then, when the contract unit 113 detects that a contract has been made, the contract request information from the requesting side indicating that some contract is made between the users belonging to the talk room and the contract between the users belonging to the same talk room. Upon receiving the contract acceptance information from the accepting side indicating that the contract is to be performed, the contract unit 113 determines that the contract has been established. The contract unit 113 may determine that the contract has been concluded by receiving at least the contract acceptance information from the contract accepting side. That is, it may be determined that the contract has been concluded by receiving information indicating that the contract has been made from one of the parties involved in the contract. The contract may be at least as long as it purchases some kind of product, and the product to be purchased may or may not be specified. Further, the contract may include a purchase condition of the product, and the purchase condition may include a condition regarding the number of purchased products and a condition regarding the purchase price (for example, an upper limit of the purchase price).

Further, when the contract is concluded on the talk room, the contract unit 113 determines whether or not the contract is completed. When the contract unit 113 determines that the contract has been completed, the contract unit 113 transmits to that effect to the settlement unit 114. The contract unit 113 determines that the contract has been completed when it receives the contract completion information from each user who has signed the contract on the talk room. It should be noted that this may be determined as the contract completion based on the contract completion information from only one user involved in the contract.

When the contract unit 113 is notified that the contract between the users has been completed, the settlement unit 114 setstles the predetermined remuneration from the requesting side of the contract to the accepting side. For example, the contract requester pays the price of the purchased product to the contract acceptor. As the amount to be remitted by the settlement unit 114, the amount written directly in the talk room in text may be used, or if a product is specified, the list price of the product is obtained from the network and the amount is used. Alternatively, if the purchase is made using an EC site or a credit card, the amount information obtained by sending the purchase details data to the talk room may be used, or when the product is purchased. It is also possible to use the specified amount of money by performing image analysis on the received receipt or photograph of the receipt sent to the talk room. Further, here, when the communication system 1 is a system linked with an EC site or the like, the server 10 directly outputs the purchase information when the user purchases a product at the linked EC site. It is also possible to receive, and it is also possible to receive the received purchase details and use the amount of purchase information that matches the product indicated in the request. Specifically, when the accepting user purchases the requested product on the linked EC site, the purchase details are sent directly to the server 10, so that the settlement unit 114 directly receives the product. Check the amount of the purchase details and send the amount from the requesting side to the accepting side. In addition, when the settlement unit 114 cannot acquire the information on the talk room, the purchase details, etc., it identifies the purchased item, acquires the location information of the user who purchased the product, and stops at the store or the like from the location information. By specifying and acquiring the selling price information at the store, the price of the purchased product may be specified. The settlement unit 114 automatically transfers the purchase price of the product from the account on the requesting side of the contract to the account on the accepting side of the contract. The consideration does not have to be limited to money, and instead of money, points that can be used as money on an EC site or the like may be used for payment. In this case, the points are used by the user who accepts the request. It may be configured to be given to.

<Data>
FIG. 3 is a data conceptual diagram showing a data configuration example of user information 300 stored in the storage unit 15 of the server 10 according to the present embodiment. User information is information for realizing transfer between users. As shown in FIG. 3, the user information is information in which the user ID 301, the user name 302, and the account information 303 are associated with each other.

The user ID 301 is identification information that can uniquely identify each user on the communication system 1.

The user name 302 is information indicating the name of the user corresponding to the user ID 301. The user name 302 may be the user's real name or handle name.

The account information 303 is information on a tradable account held by the user indicated by the corresponding user ID, and includes at least a bank name and an account number. The name of the bank is not limited to the bank, and may be a credit union or the like as long as money can be exchanged.

With the user information 300, the server 10 can transfer the purchase price from the user belonging to the talk room to another user belonging to the talk room.

<Operation>
FIG. 4 is a sequence diagram showing exchanges between the devices in the communication system 1. The sequence diagram shown in FIG. 4 shows the processes from the establishment, completion, and settlement of the contract between the users. In the sequence diagram shown in FIG. 4, the user A of the terminal 20a and the user B of the terminal 20b are participating in the same talk room, and the exchange related to the contract between the user A and the user B is shown.

As shown in FIG. 4, the terminal 20a accepts the input of the contract establishment information from the user A to the terminal 20a. Here, the terminal 20a accepts the input of the contract request information on the contract requesting side as the contract establishment information, and transmits the contract request information to the server 10 (step S401).

The server 10 transmits the received contract request information to the terminal 20b of the user B who belongs to the same talk room (step S402). As a result, the terminal 20b may display information indicating that the user A has requested the contract.

On the other hand, the terminal 20b accepts the input of the contract establishment information from the user B to the terminal 20b. Here, the terminal 20b accepts the input of the contract acceptance information on the contract accepting side as the contract establishment information, and transmits the contract acceptance information to the server 10 (step S403).

The server 10 transmits the received contract request information to the terminal 20a of the user A who belongs to the same talk room (step S404). As a result, the terminal 20a may display information indicating that the user B has requested the contract.

The server 10 confirms that the contract has been established by receiving the contract establishment information from the user A and the user B belonging to the talk room (step S405), and stores the information.

After that, when the contract is fulfilled, that is, when the user B who is the accepting side of the contract executes the contents of the contract, the terminal 20a accepts the input of the contract completion information from the user A to the terminal 20a. Here, the terminal 20a accepts the input of the contract completion information indicating that the contract has been completed, and transmits the contract completion information to the server 10 (step S406).

The server 10 transmits the received contract completion information to the terminal 20b of the user B who belongs to the same talk room (step S407). As a result, the terminal 20b may display information indicating that the contract has been completed.

On the other hand, the terminal 20b also accepts the input of the contract completion information from the user B to the terminal 20b. Then, the terminal 20b transmits the contract completion information to the server 10 (step S408).

The server 10 transmits the received contract completion information to the terminal 20a of the user A who belongs to the same talk room (step S409). As a result, the terminal 20a may display information indicating that the user B has agreed to complete the contract.

By receiving the contract establishment information from the user A and the user B belonging to the talk room, the server 10 confirms that the contract has been established and stores the information.

Either step S406 or S408 may be executed first.

By receiving the contract completion information from both the user A and the user B, the server 10 recognizes that the contract has been completed, that is, the contents of the contract have been fulfilled (step S410).

By executing the above exchanges, in the communication system 1, through the process of establishing and completing the contract, the consideration (charge) for the user A making a contract with the user B is automatically performed. Can be paid at (step S411).

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the terminal 20 for executing the process shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 5, the input / output unit 23 of the terminal 20 determines whether or not there is an input for establishing a contract with respect to the message displayed on the display unit 24 (step S501). Here, for any of the messages displayed in the talk room, the determination is made based on whether or not the user has accepted the input regarding the contract request or the contract acceptance.

When the contract establishment is input to the message (YES in step S501), the message processing unit 211 transmits the contract establishment information to the server 10 via the communication I / F 21 (step S502).

When there is no input for contract establishment for the message (NO in step S501), the input / output unit 23 of the terminal 20 determines whether or not there is an input for contract completion for the message displayed on the display unit 24. Determine (step S503). Here, the user determines whether or not there is an input for completing the contract for any of the messages displayed in the talk room input after the message for inputting the conclusion of the contract.

When the contract completion is input to the message (YES in step S503), the message processing unit 211 transmits the contract completion information to the server 10 via the communication I / F 21 (step S504).

In the process shown in FIG. 5, the terminal 20 does not particularly show the process of receiving the contract establishment information from the other terminal 20 or the contract completion information, but the communication I / F22 transmits such information. When the reception is received, the display processing unit 212 may display the contract establishment information and the contract completion information on the display unit 24 together with the talk room. By the process of FIG. 5, the terminal 20 can notify the server 10 and the terminal 20 of the communication partner of the establishment and completion of the contract. As a result, the server 10 can realize automatic remittance from the contract requesting side to the accepting side.

On the other hand, FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the server 10 for realizing the exchange shown in FIG. The process shown in FIG. 6 shows the process when the server 10 receives some signal from the terminal 20. When the communication I / F 14 of the server 10 receives the signal, it transmits it to the control unit 11.

The contract unit 113 of the control unit 11 determines whether or not the signal received from the terminal 20 receives a contract request input from any of the terminals 20 (step S601). That is, it is determined whether or not the contract request information is received from any of the terminals 20. When there is a contract request (YES in step S601), the information indicating the user of the terminal 20 who has sent the contract request and the talk room is stored in association with each other. Further, the contract unit 113 transmits the contract request information to the terminal 20 of another user belonging to the talk room to which the user corresponding to the terminal 20 to which the contract request information is transmitted belongs via the communication I / F14.

If there is no contract request (NO in step S601), the contract unit 113 determines whether or not the signal received from the terminal 20 has a contract acceptance input from any of the terminals 20 (step S602). That is, it is determined whether or not the contract acceptance information has been received. When the contract acceptance is input (YES in step S602), it is determined whether or not there is a contract request from another user's terminal 20 in the same talk room as the terminal 20 where the contract acceptance is input. To do. Then, when there is a corresponding contract request, information indicating that the contract has been established is set in the talk room (step S603).

The contract unit 113 of the server 10 determines whether or not the signal received from the terminal 20 has an input for completing the contract (step S604). That is, whether the contract unit 113 determines whether or not the contract completion information has been received, and also receives the contract completion information from another user belonging to the talk room including the user who sent the contract completion information. Judge whether or not. Then, it is determined whether or not the contract completion information from all the users who have concluded the contract is received for the contract set for the talk room belonging to one talk room (step S604). When there is input of contract completion information from all users (YES in step S604), the contract unit 113 indicates to the settlement unit 114 that the contract in the talk room has been completed, that is, has been achieved. Along with the information, the information between the user who requested the contract and the user who accepted the contract is transmitted (step S605). Then, the settlement unit 114 executes production based on the information received from the contract unit 113. That is, the settlement unit 114 refers to the user information 300 and transfers the amount of money specified in the contract from the account of the user who requested the contract to the account of the user who accepted the contract. Here, it may be any mode to transfer the amount of money specified in the contract from the account of the user who requested the contract to the account of the user who accepted the contract, but it is an example. Is realized by the server 10 deducting the amount of money from the electronic money associated with the requesting user on the communication system 1 and adding the amount of money to the electronic money associated with the accepting user. You may. Alternatively, the server 10 transfers money from the bank account associated with the requesting user to the bank account associated with the accepting side to execute the transfer procedure of the amount indicated in the contract. It may be a transfer of. Alternatively, the server 10 may exchange points that can be used on the communication system 1 as a substitute for money on the communication system 1. In this case, the server 10 starts from the points associated with the requesting user. The transfer of money may be to deduct the points corresponding to the amount indicated in the contract and add the points corresponding to the amount indicated in the contract to the points associated with the accepting user.

If the contract completion information from all users has not been received (NO in step S604), the process ends.

As a result, the server 10 automatically pays for the contract when the users conclude a contract with each other in the talk room and the contract is a substitute purchase of another user by one user. You can make payments.

<Specific example>
From here, the exchange shown in FIG. 4 will be described with reference to a specific example. FIG. 7 shows an example of a talk room displayed on the display unit 24 of the terminal 20a of the user A. Here, the user A is a side that requests a contract from another user B, and is a side that purchases a product.

As shown in FIG. 7A, it is assumed that a message is transmitted from the user B asking whether to purchase some product. On the other hand, as shown in the message 701a, it is assumed that the user A has transmitted a message requesting the purchase of beer. At this time, when the user A desires the contract with the user B, as shown in FIG. 7A, the user A touches the message 701a with his / her finger or an indicator such as a stylus. ..

Then, as shown in FIG. 7B, the terminal 20a displays the menu 710a related to the contract in association with the message 701a. As shown in the figure, the menu 710a includes a request button 711a for requesting a contract, an acceptance button 712a for accepting the contract when the contract is requested, and a case where the contract is established. It includes a completion button 713a to be selected when the user thinks that the contract has been completed. Since the user A is the side requesting the purchase of the product, FIG. 7B shows a state in which the user A touches the request button 711a. As a result, the contract request information is transmitted from the terminal 20a of the user A to the server 10. The target for displaying the menu related to the contract is not limited to the text message, but may be an image such as a stamp.

On the other hand, FIG. 8 shows an example of a talk room in which the terminal 20b on the user B side is displayed. FIG. 8 (a) shows a talk room which is the same talk room as the talk room shown in FIG. 7 (a) and in a state in which subsequent exchanges are advanced. As can be understood from FIG. 8A, the user B returns a message 801b indicating that he / she understands the request for purchasing beer from the user A. As shown in FIG. 8A, the user B touches the message 801b in order to accept the request from the user A. Then, the menu 810b is displayed on the display unit 24 of the terminal 20b in association with the message 801b. The menu 810b includes a request button 811b, an acceptance button 812b, and a completion button 813b, similarly to the menu 710a. Then, the user B selects the acceptance button 812b in order to accept the contract. FIG. 8B shows a state in which the user B has selected the acceptance button 812b. As a result, the contract acceptance information is transmitted from the terminal 20b of the user B to the server 10. Then, the server 10 stores information indicating that a contract has been established between the user A and the user B.

Next, FIG. 9 is an example of a talk room displayed on the terminal 20a of the user A, and shows a talk room in a state in which the exchange following FIG. 8A is advanced. As can be understood from FIG. 9A, the user A asks the user B that he / she has purchased the requested product and how much the requested product was, which is 1500 yen. I am telling you that it was. Then, in response to this, the user B sends a message indicating consent, and sends a message 901a indicating that there is no problem with the amount of money. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9A, the user B touches the message 901a for input indicating that the contract has been completed.

Then, as shown in FIG. 9B, the terminal 20a displays the menu 910a in correspondence with the touched message 901a. The user A touches the completion button 913a indicating the completion of the contract from the displayed menu. FIG. 9B is an example of a screen in which the completion button 913a is touched.

As a result, the contract completion information is transmitted from the terminal 20a. When the contract completion information is received from all the users who belong to the talk room and have signed the contract, the server 10 recognizes that the contract has been completed, and the requesting user B to the accepting user A Make a transfer of 1500 yen. Then, as a result, as shown in FIG. 2B, the server 10 may display the information indicating that the remittance is completed on the display units 24 of the terminals 20a and 20b, respectively.

FIG. 10 is an example of a talk room displayed on the terminal 20b of the user B, and shows a talk room in a state in which the exchange following FIG. 8A is advanced. As can be understood from FIG. 10 (a), the user B has purchased the requested product from the user A, and the user A asks how much the amount was 1500 yen. The message 1001a conveys that it was. Then, in response to this, the user A sends a message indicating consent, and sends a message indicating that there is no problem with the amount. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10A, the user B touches the message 1001a for input indicating that the contract has been completed.

Then, as shown in FIG. 10B, the terminal 20b displays the menu 1001b in correspondence with the touched message 1001a. The user B touches the completion button 1013a indicating the completion of the contract from the displayed menu. FIG. 9B is an example of a screen in which the completion button 913a is touched.

As a result, the contract completion information is also transmitted from the terminal 20b of the user B to the server 10. Then, when the server 10 recognizes that the contract has been completed, it automatically executes a transfer of 1500 yen from the account of the requesting user B to the account of the accepting user A. By automatically transferring the product of the purchase price from the account of the desired user to the account of the user who has purchased the product, it is possible to eliminate the complexity of exchanging money at the time of proxy purchase.

<Example 1 modified example>
In the first embodiment, the server 10 confirms the establishment and completion of the contract and executes an account transfer for payment of the proxy purchase price from the contract requesting side to the accepting side. Is not limited to execution by the server 10. It may be executed by the terminal 20 side. In this modified example, an example in which the terminal 20 automatically transfers the price of the proxy purchase will be described.

FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of the communication system 1 according to this modification. As shown in FIG. 11, the contract unit 113 and the settlement unit 114 included in the server 10 are excluded, and instead, the terminal 20 includes the contract unit 213 and the settlement unit 214. Further, the user information 300 is stored in the storage unit 28 of the terminal 20. The user information 300 is created by the user of the terminal 20 by receiving information from a user he / she knows. Since the roles of the contract unit 213 and the settlement unit 214 are the same as those shown in the first embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted.

In addition, both the server 10 and the terminal 20 may be configured to have a contract unit and a settlement unit.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the terminal 20 in this modified example. The operation shown in FIG. 12 differs from the operation shown in FIG. 5 in the processes of steps S1201 and S1202. Therefore, the processing of both steps will be described here.

The communication I / F 14 transmits the received signal to the control unit 11. The contract unit 113 of the control unit 11 determines whether or not the received signal is contract completion information (step S1201). When the received signal is the contract completion information (YES in step S1201). In the talk room to which the user who sent the contract completion information belongs, it is confirmed whether the contract has been established and whether the contract completion information is transmitted from the own terminal. Then, in the talk room to which the user who sent the contract completion information belongs, if the contract has been established and the contract completion information has been transmitted from the own terminal, the remittance is executed to the user who executed the contract (step). S1202). This remittance is executed when the own terminal is the accepting side of the contract.

As shown in this modification, the transfer of the price when a contract is made between users belonging to the talk room can also be realized by the terminal 20.

<Example of changing contract conditions>
In the first embodiment, an example in which the contract is fulfilled as it is when the contract is concluded has been described, but the contents of the contract may be changed in some cases. An example thereof will be described below. First, a specific example will be used to explain when the contract will be changed, and then the operation of each device will be described. Here, it is assumed that the server 10 includes a contract unit 113 and a settlement unit 114.

FIG. 13 shows a display example of a talk room between the user A and the user B, and shows a display example displayed on the display unit 24 of the terminal 20b of the user B. FIG. 13 (a) shows an example of the exchange between the user A and the user B after the contract is established in FIG. 8 (a).

As shown in FIG. 13 (a), when purchasing a product after the contract is concluded, the price of the product or the like that was desired to be purchased at the time of the contract may be higher than expected. Conceivable. In the example of FIG. 13A, when the contract was concluded with the message 1301a, the product unit price is as high as 330 yen as shown in the message 1302b, and in response to this, the message 1302c shows. As a result, the user A has refused to purchase the product, and the message 1302d indicates that the user B, who is the contract acceptor, has accepted the purchase.

In such a case, the user B touches, for example, message 1302d in order to change or cancel the contract. Then, as shown in FIG. 13B, the terminal 20b displays a menu 1310b for changing the contract contents in association with the message 1302d. The menu 1310b includes a condition change button 1311b and a release button 1312b as keys for changing the contract contents.

The condition change button 1311b is a button used when changing the conditions in the contract contents. Here, changing the conditions means changing the conditions in the contract contents. Although not particularly shown in the first embodiment, the conditions may be set at the time of contract. For example, the number of purchases and the upper limit of the price at the time of purchase may be set. Then, when the condition change button 1311b is touched here, it means that the number or the upper limit of the price is changed.

On the other hand, the release button 1312b means to completely cancel the contract when the contract has been established. In this case, the contract does not need to be fulfilled (completed). Note that canceling the contract means deleting or invalidating the information indicating the establishment of the contract set on the server 10.

It should be noted that this contract change can be executed by any user involved in the contract. Further, when the contract is changed, the other user may be notified to that effect, and the other user may input to accept the change of the contract.

<Operation>
The operation of each device for executing this contract change will be described below.

FIG. 14 is a sequence diagram showing the exchange of each device related to the communication system 1 related to the contract change.

As shown in FIG. 14, the terminal 20a receives an input of a contract change from the user A on the messaging application. The terminal 20a transmits the contract change information indicating the contract change to the server 10 (step S1401).

When the server 10 receives the contract change information, the server 10 transmits the contract change information to the terminal 20b of another user B who has a contract and is a talk room to which the user A corresponding to the terminal 20a that has transmitted the contract change information belongs. (Step S1402).

When the terminal 20b receives the contract change information, the terminal 20b displays the contents thereof. Then, the user accepts the acceptance of the contract change on the messaging application. Then, the terminal 20b transmits the change acceptance information that agrees to the contract change to the server 10 (step S1403).

When the server 10 receives the change acceptance information, it transmits it to the terminal 20a (step S1404). Then, the server 10 changes the established contract information to the content indicated by the contract change information (step S1405).

Here is an example of an exchange related to a contract change.

FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the operation of the terminal 20 for realizing the exchange shown in FIG. The input / output unit 23 of the terminal 20 determines whether or not there is an input for changing the contract conditions for the message (step S1501). When the contract condition change is input (YES in step S1501), the message processing unit 211 transmits the contract change information indicating the contract condition change content to the server 10 via the communication I / F22 (YES). Step S1502).

If there is no input for changing the contract conditions (NO in step S1501), the message processing unit 211 determines whether or not the contract change information has been received (step S1503). When the contract change information is received (YES in step S1503), the display processing unit 212 displays that fact on the display unit 24. Then, the input / output unit 23 waits for the user to input whether or not to accept the contents of the contract change (step S1504).

When the input for accepting the content of the contract change is accepted (YES in step S1504), the message processing unit 211 transmits the change approval information to the server 10 via the communication I / F 22 (step S1505).

Next, FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the operation of the server 10 for realizing the exchange shown in FIG. In the flowchart shown in FIG. 16, the same reference numerals are given to the processes whose processing contents overlap with those shown in FIG. 6, and the description thereof will be omitted. That is, in FIG. 16, the processes of steps S601, S602, S603, S604, and S605 are the same as those described with reference to FIG. 6, so the description thereof will be omitted.

After the server 10 sets the information indicating that the contract has been established (step S603), the contract unit 113 determines whether or not there is input of the contract change from both users related to the contract that has been established. (Step S1601). That is, it is determined whether or not the contract change information is received from one user involved in the contract and the change acceptance information is received from the other user.

When the contract change is input from both users related to the contract (YES in step S1601), the contract content is updated according to the content indicated by the contract change information (step S1602).

Next, the contract unit 113 determines whether or not the change in the contract is a deletion (step S1603). If the contract is deleted (NO in step S1603), the process ends, and if not, the process proceeds to step S604.

In this way, the server 10 can receive the contract content change request from the terminal 20 and change the contract contents. Therefore, even after the contract is concluded, if the contract is in a form that the user does not want, the content can be changed or canceled. Therefore, the user can easily make the first contract.

<Refund processing>
As shown in the first embodiment, it is conceivable to make a refund after the remittance process is performed by the server 10 or the terminal 20. Hereinafter, the refund process in the communication system 1 will be described. Although the example in which the server 10 executes the refund process will be described here, the terminal 20 may perform the refund process.

FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the operation of the terminal 20 when executing the refund process.

The input / output unit 23 of the terminal 20 determines whether or not the user has input a refund request for the message (step S1701). When there is an input of a refund request for the message from the user (YES in step S1701), the message processing unit 211 transmits the refund request information to the server 10 via the communication I / F 22 (step S1702). As a result, refund request information indicating that the refund request has been made is transmitted and displayed to the terminal 20 of another user related to the contract.

If there is no refund request input for the message (NO in step S1701), the message processing unit 211 determines whether or not the refund request information transmitted from the server 10 is received via the communication I / F22. (Step S1703). The refund request information referred to here is the refund request information transmitted from the other terminal 20 to the server 10 and relayed by the server 10. When the refund request information has been received (YES in step S1703), the display processing unit 212 displays the refund request information indicating that the refund request has been made on the display unit 24 (step S1704). This allows the user to recognize that another user associated with the contract has requested a refund.

If the refund request information has not been received (NO in step S1703), the input / output unit 23 determines whether or not the user has input the refund consent (step S1705). If there is no input of refund consent for the message (NO in step S1705), the process ends. When the user inputs a refund consent (YES in step S1705), the message processing unit 211 provides the server 10 with refund consent information indicating that the refund request has been accepted via the communication I / F22. Transmission (step S1706), and the process ends.

On the other hand, FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing the operation of the server 10 when executing the refund process.

As shown in FIG. 18, the message processing unit 111 of the server 10 determines whether or not the refund request information from the terminal 20 is received via the communication I / F 14 (step S1801). When the refund request information is received (YES in step S1801), the message processing unit 111 transmits the refund request information to the terminal 20 of the other user of the contract related to the refund request information (YES in step S1801). Step S1802).

If the refund request information has not been received (NO in step S1801), the message processing unit 111 determines whether or not the refund acceptance information has been received via the communication I / F 14 (step S1803). The refund acceptance information referred to here is information indicating that the other user has accepted the refund in response to a refund request from one user related to a certain contract. If the refund consent information has been received (YES in step S1803), the refund consent information is transmitted to the terminal 20 of the user who requested the refund (step S1804). If the refund consent information has not been received (NO in step S1803), the process ends.

Then, the settlement unit 114 executes the refund processing of the settled price in the contract for which the refund is requested. That is, the settlement unit 114 automatically transfers the same amount of money as the amount transferred in the contract from the account on the transfer side (contract accepting side) to the account on the transfer side (contract request side). The refund is executed (step S1805), and the process ends.

As a result, in the communication system 1, after the contract is completed, the refund can be automatically executed at the request of the user. In this refund process, the refund request information is not limited to the person who made the payment, that is, the contract requester, but may be sent from the contract acceptor.

FIG. 19 is a diagram showing a display example related to refund processing. FIG. 19A is a screen example displayed on the display unit 24 of the terminal 20b of the user B, showing the message 1911 in which the contract is completed and the transfer of the price from the user A to the user B is executed. It is a figure which shows. Here, the user A sends a message indicating that the product purchased by the user B is different.

Therefore, the user A executes the refund request as shown in FIG. 19B. FIG. 19B is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 24 of the terminal 20a of the user A. As shown in the figure, by touching the message 1911 indicating that the transfer has been made, the display processing unit 212 displays the refund menu 1910b on the display unit 24. The menu 1910b is displayed so as to correspond to the touched message 1911.

Menu 1910b is a menu for executing a refund. Menu 1910b includes a refund request button 1911b for requesting a refund and a refund acceptance button 1912b for accepting a refund when a refund request is made. In addition, when a refund request is made, a permission / denial button for refusing the refund may be included. User A touches the refund request button 1911b to request a refund. FIG. 19B shows a state in which the refund request button 1911b is selected.

Then, as shown in FIG. 19C, a message 1921 indicating that the refund request has been made by the user A is displayed on the display unit 24 of the terminal 20b of the user B corresponding to the contract. On the other hand, when responding to the refund request, the user B touches the message 1921. Then, the terminal 20b displays a refund menu in association with the message 1921.

Then, the user B approves the refund by touching the refund acceptance button 1922b in the refund menu. FIG. 19C shows a state in which the refund acceptance button 1922b is selected. As a result, the refund consent information is transmitted from the terminal 20 to the server 10, and the refund process is executed by the server 10.

Although not shown, a message indicating that the refund has been executed may be displayed in the talk room on the terminal 20a of the user A and the terminal 20b of the user B after this.

As a result, in the communication system 1, even after the contract is completed and the payment is made, the refund can be automatically performed even if the contents of the contract are inadequate.

<Effect of Embodiment 1>

According to the first embodiment, the server 10 receives the content transmitted to the talk room, that is, the establishment and completion (fulfillment) of the contract (substitute purchase), from the requesting side of the contract to the accepting side. The fee associated with the contract can be paid automatically. Further, in the case of the terminal 20, the content transmitted from the terminal 20 to the talk room, that is, the transmission of the information related to the establishment of the contract (proxy purchase) and the information related to the completion (fulfillment) of the talk room You can automatically pay the fee to the user.

Therefore, the server 10 and the terminal 20 can reduce the user's trouble (direct payment, bank transfer processing, etc.) in the payment of the reimbursed fee after the purchase in the proxy purchase between the users, and are a highly convenient system. Can be provided.

Further, when the side accepting the contract fulfills the contract, the server 10 and the terminal 20 send money from the side requesting the contract to the side accepting the contract by purchasing using electronic money on the EC site or the like. May be. Further, the server 10 may remit money from the side requesting the contract to the side accepting the contract by purchasing the specific product specified by the contract.

That is, in the server 10 and the terminal 20, the user who has made the proxy purchase automatically remits the money to the user who made the proxy purchase due to the execution of the proxy purchase between the users. It can be done easily.

Further, the server 10 and the terminal 20 determine the purchase of the product and perform the remittance process by inputting the information indicating that the accepting side actually purchased the product by the requesting user in the exchange between the users. May be good. The information to be entered here includes a text message indicating that the user has purchased the product, a photographed image of the product itself, a receipt when the product was purchased, a captured image of the purchase screen on an EC site, etc., and the use of a credit card. Detailed data or the like may be used.

As a result, automatic remittance can be performed triggered by the purchase of an actual prize. Further, by using a photograph or the like, it is possible to improve the accuracy when the accepting side determines whether or not the product has actually been purchased, so that a more reliable communication system can be provided.

Further, the contract in the talk room may be confirmed by inputting information indicating that the contract is a contract from the user to the message in the talk room. That is, the user can touch the message displayed in the talk room to display the menu related to the contract on the display unit 24 of the terminal 20b, and input the information about the contract from the menu.

As a result, the timing of the contract by the server 10 or the terminal 20 and the content (type) thereof can be easily specified. As a result, it is possible to provide a more accurate system for automatic remittance at the time of proxy purchase.

Further, the contract in the talk room may be concluded by the agreement of both the requesting side and the accepting side of the contract.

As a result, it is possible to provide a system that allows both users participating in the talk room to conclude a contract that is easy to understand.

Further, the server 10 or the terminal 20 can specify the amount of the product and transfer the specified amount when another user purchases the product requested by the user on behalf of the other user.

As a result, the server 10 or the terminal 20 can remit the correct amount as consideration for the proxy purchase of the product.

Further, the server 10 or the terminal 20 can change the contents of the contract by accepting the input of the change of the conditions relating to the remittance.

As a result, the server 10 or the terminal 20 can change the conditions of the contract, so that the contract can be canceled or the purchase amount can be limited when the contract (proxy purchase) is no longer needed. On the contrary, the restriction can be relaxed to realize the purchase under the conditions desired by the user.

In addition, the server 10 or the terminal 20 can accept an input requesting a refund and refund the contract after the remittance is completed. At this time, the refund may be executed with the agreement of both users involved in the contract.

As a result, it is possible to provide a system in which users are less likely to be dissatisfied by providing a configuration that allows refunds when there is a defect in proxy purchase.

<Embodiment 2>
In the first embodiment and the like, the example in which the server 10 or the terminal 20 automatically remits money by the user himself / herself inputting the conclusion, completion, and change of the contract has been described, but in the second embodiment, the user An example of realizing the contract without inputting the establishment, completion, and change of the contract will be described.

FIG. 20 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of the communication system 1 according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 20, the control unit 11 of the server 10 further includes an analysis unit 115. The same reference numerals are given to the configurations common to those in the first embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted. In addition, the basic processing is realized by learning analysis by the control unit 11, and the input related to the contract from the user (operations such as the request button and the accept button for the menu related to the contract) becomes unnecessary. Other than that, it is common with the first embodiment.

The analysis unit 115 analyzes the content of the message input (transmitted) from the user to the talk room. The analysis unit 115 analyzes the content of the message each time a message is input from the user (receives the message transmitted from the terminal 20), for example. Then, by the analysis, it is analyzed whether or not the contract is concluded, whether or not the contract is completed, or whether or not there is a change in the contract. The analysis is based on conventional text mining techniques, morphological analysis, context analysis, pattern matching, a learning model that learns the relationship between the input message and the conclusion of the contract, and the relationship between the input message and the completion of the contract. It can be realized by using a learning model that has been learned, a learning model that has learned the relationship between an input message and a contract change, and may be realized by a combination of these. The analysis unit 115 analyzes the input contents for the talk room by so-called AI.

The analysis unit 115 requests a contract when, for example, a message such as "buy XX" or a message such as "let's buy something" or "yes" is exchanged as a message input to the talk room. Can be analyzed by doing. On the other hand, for example, when a positive message such as "OK" or "OK" continues, the analysis unit 115 can analyze that the contract has been concluded by assuming that the request for the contract has been accepted. In addition, when the product is actually purchased, the analysis unit 115 detects that there is a text suggesting the purchase, such as "I bought it", and that there is a word of gratitude for it. Then, it may be analyzed that the contract is completed.

Further, the analysis unit 115 may also analyze an image such as a stamp or an emoticon expressing emotions as information related to the contract. A specific example is shown in FIG. FIG. 21 shows an example of a talk room displayed on the display unit 24 of the terminal 20b of the user B. As shown in the message 2101b of FIG. 21 (a), the user B responds to the request from the user A "Can you buy beer?" With a thumbs-up image. Using such a positive image, the analysis unit 115 can analyze that the request from the user A has been accepted. Similarly, in response to message 2101b, the user has sent stamp 2102b. As can be understood from this image, it can be understood that the user A is grateful to the user B, and the analysis unit 115 can analyze the information as information related to the establishment of the contract. Further, in the case of such an image, information indicating its contents may be added as metadata. As an example, in the case of stamp 2102b, metadata such as "thank you" may be added, and the analysis unit 115 analyzes the contents of the exchange in the talk room using this metadata. May be. Furthermore, as for whether or not the product was actually purchased, for example, as shown in FIG. 21 (b), the captured image 2111b of the purchased product and the captured image 2112b obtained by capturing the receipt received at the time of purchasing the product are displayed. It may be transmitted to the talk room, and the analysis unit 115 may perform analysis using such image information that can confirm that the product was actually purchased. The analysis unit 115 can analyze that the contract has been fulfilled (completed) by the captured image 2111b of FIG. 21 (b), and can also specify the amount of remittance by using the captured image 2112b. Even if the image is used in this way, it can be used to determine whether or not the conditions related to the contract are satisfied. In addition to the captured image of the product, the user's location information may be used as evidence that the user actually purchased the product. In the case of a purchase at a store, the location information of the store and the user's location information may be used. Information on whether or not the position information matches (closes) may be used. This is because it can be estimated that the user is likely to have stopped at the focus by detecting that the location information of the store and the location information of the user are close to each other.

FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing a processing example of the server 10 according to the second embodiment, and FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing the contents of the processing following the processing of FIG. 22.

As shown in FIG. 22, the message processing unit 111 of the server 10 receives the input of the content from the user to the talk room via the communication I / F 14 (step S2201). When the message processing unit 111 receives the input of the content, the message processing unit 111 transmits the information indicating the content of the content to the analysis unit 115. Here, the content may be an image such as a stamp, or may be a voice or a moving image, in addition to text data indicating the content of the message.

The analysis unit 115 analyzes whether or not the content is an input related to the contract (step S2202). The input related to the contract here means the input related to the establishment of the contract. Also, if the content is an input related to a contract, in the case of text, is it a word that suggests the purchase of goods, such as "buy me" or "please AA", as an example? If it is an image such as a stamp, for example, the content of the image is based on whether or not the character in the image is in a praying pose and the metadata associated with the stamp. It can also be judged by the information shown. When the content is the input related to the contract (YES in step S2202), the contract unit 113 determines whether or not the contract has been established in the talk room (step S2203). The contract unit 113 determines that the contract is established when the content is the input related to the contract and the input means the acceptance of the contract.

When the contract unit 113 determines that the contract has been established in the talk room (YES in step S2203), it determines that the contract has been established between the users belonging to the talk room in the talk room, and the contract has been established. Information indicating the above is set (step S2204).

If the content is not the input related to the contract (NO in step S2202) and the contract is not established in the talk room (NO in step S2203), the analysis unit 115 inputs the input content to be related to the contract change. It is determined whether or not (step S2205). The input related to the change of the contract can be determined, for example, by whether or not the wording denying the content of the contract or the wording suggesting the change can be detected in the talk room after the information on the conclusion of the contract is set. it can.

When the input content is the input related to the contract change (YES in step S2205), the contract unit 113 determines whether the contract change is established or not in the talk room (step S2206). Whether or not the contract change is established in the talk room is determined by, for example, whether or not there is content to accept the request in the state where the content requesting the contract change is input. Can be done.

When the contract change is established in the talk room (YES in step S2206), the contract unit 113 changes and renews the contents of the established contract (step S2207).

If the input is not related to the contract change (NO in step S2205) or if the contract change is not established (NO in step S2206), the analysis unit 115 determines whether or not the input content is the input related to the contract completion. Is determined (step S2301).

If the input content is an input related to contract completion (YES in step S2301), the contract unit 113 determines whether the contract in the talk room is completed by this input (step S2302). That is, the contract unit 113 determines whether or not there is an input to the talk room indicating that the contract has been completed from both users related to the conclusion of the contract.

If it is determined in the talk room that the contract has been completed (YES in step S2302), the settlement unit 114 remits the price from the contract requesting side to the accepting side (step S2303).

If the input is not related to the completion of the contract (NO in step S2301), or if the contract is not completed in the talk room (NO in step S2302), the analysis unit 115 determines whether or not the input content is the input related to refund. (Step S2304). That is, it is determined whether there is a text (for example, "Can you return the money?") Prompting for dissatisfaction with the product or refund in the input after the contract is completed and the remittance is completed.

If the input content is an input related to a refund (YES in step S2304), the contract unit 113 determines whether or not the refund negotiation is established based on this input (step S2305). That is, the contract unit 113 determines whether or not there is a request for refund and its consent. The refund input can also be detected, for example, by a message or stamp indicating that the product is incorrect, a message indicating dissatisfaction with the price of the product, or the like.

If the refund negotiation is successful (YES in step S2305), the settlement unit 114 refunds the amount paid by the contract from the contract accepting side account to the requesting side account (step S2306).

By the above processing, the server 10 can automatically analyze the contents of the talk room and realize the automatic remittance related to the contract. As shown in the modified example of the first embodiment, the terminal 20 may analyze the contents of the talk room and realize the remittance process, not limited to the server 10.

<Effect of Embodiment 2>
The server 10 or the terminal 20 according to the second embodiment automatically establishes or completes the contract by analyzing the contents in the talk room by the analysis unit 115 (control unit 11) or the analysis unit 215 (control unit 21). It can be detected and the remittance of the price of the proxy purchase can be executed fully automatically.

Therefore, when a certain user makes a proxy purchase for another user, the price can be automatically transferred, and the trouble of delivering the price can be reduced.

Further, the server 10 or the terminal 20 analyzes an image represented by a stamp or the like transmitted to the talk room, and determines the establishment or completion of the contract from the analysis result.

According to this configuration, even if a stamp or the like that is often used is used in the talk room, a contract can be concluded and automatic remittance can be realized, so that a system highly convenient for the user can be provided. it can.

<Embodiment 3>
Although not described in detail in the first and second embodiments, three or more users can belong to the talk room and exchange messages. Even if such a plurality of people belong to the talk room, the processing related to the contract as shown in the first and second embodiments can be executed. Further, among the talk rooms to which three or more users belong, not all users need to be involved in the contract, and only some of the users may conclude the contract. Since the operation of each terminal 20 and the operation of the server 10 can be realized by operating in the same manner as those described in the first and second embodiments, a specific example will be described here. Whether or not the contract has been established on the server 10 (or terminal 20) is based on the premise that all the users participating in the talk room have received the consent (or permission) for the contract.

An example of a contract with multiple persons will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 24 shows a state in which a plurality of users (three or more people) are included in the talk room. In the example shown in FIG. 24A, a screen example is shown in which the talk room includes four users A to D and is displayed on the terminal 20b of the user B.

According to FIG. 24, user B proposes to purchase bread, as shown in message 2401a, whereas users A, C, and D each propose "to purchase bread," as shown in messages 2402a-2404a. They responded with "3", "2" and "I don't need". In this case, in the second embodiment, the analysis unit 115 determines that the users A, B, and C have signed the contract, and analyzes that the user D refuses the contract and therefore does not participate in the contract. Then, the contract unit 113 sets information indicating that the contract of the three users A, B, and C has been established.

On the other hand, in the case shown in the first embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 24 (b) and 24 (c), each user inputs whether or not to participate in the contract. FIG. 24B shows a display example of the display unit 24a of the terminal 20a of the user A. Further, FIG. 24C shows a display example of the display unit 24d of the terminal 20d of the user D. As can be understood from FIG. 24B, since the user A requests the user B to purchase three breads, the request button 2402b in the contract menu 2401b is selected. On the other hand, since the pan is not required, the user D selects the permission / rejection button 2402c from the contract menu 2401c as shown in FIG. 24 (c).

Then, the contract unit 113 concludes a contract between the user A, the user B, and the user C. In this case, user A and user C are the requesting side, and user B is the accepting side. When the contract is completed, the charge for three breads is transferred from the account of user A to the account of user B, and the charge for two breads is transferred from the account of user C to the account of user B. become. In this way, even in a talk room to which three or more users belong, the contract can be executed and automatic transfer can be realized.

In addition, when three or more users are involved in the contract, one user executes the purchase, and two (or more) users request the purchase, two people according to the contents described in the talk room. The amount of money remitted from the (or more) user to the user who purchased may be simply divided by the number of two or more users, but with the agreement of the two (or more) users, a graded distribution is added. The remittance amount may be determined by the purchase price of each product after specifying the products purchased by each of the two (or more) users.

<Effect of Embodiment 3>
According to the third embodiment, even when three or more users are participating in one talk room, the contract can be concluded by two or more users among them, and the users involved in the contract can be concluded. Of these, the side that requested the contract (the side that requested the proxy purchase) can automatically pay the fee to the side that accepted the contract (the side that accepted the proxy purchase).
