Specifically, the control unit 301 of the server 3 determines whether or not the user room data 326 of the logged-in user ID is stored in the storage unit 302. If the user room data 326 of the logged-in user is not stored in the storage unit 302 (step S204; No), the user room 80 has not been generated yet, so the process proceeds to the user room generation process. The user room generation process will be described later (FIG. 18).

In step S204, when the user room data 326 of the logged-in user is stored in the storage unit 302 (step S204; Yes), the server 3 reads the user room data 326 of the corresponding user from the storage unit 302 and corresponds to the corresponding user room data 326. The user's avatar information is read out and transmitted to the user terminal 4 (step S205).

When the user terminal 4 receives the user room data 326 and the avatar information from the server 3 (step S206), the user terminal 4 arranges the product object in the virtual space (user room 80) according to the user room data 326, and displays the display device (for example, VR). It is displayed on the goggles (4b, etc.) (step S207). Further, the avatar 85 is displayed in the virtual space (user room 80).

FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of the user room 80 and the avatar 85 displayed according to the user room data 326 shown in FIG. In step S207, the user terminal 4 acquires the product object data 321 and the virtual space data 323 necessary for display from the server 3. As shown in FIG. 16, the virtual space (user room 80) corresponding to the room ID “R01” is displayed, and the actual products purchased by the user (product IDs “0001”, “0101”, “0102”, “0102”, “ The product objects obj0001, obj0101, obj0102, obj0103, and obj0104 corresponding to "0103" and "0104") are displayed at predetermined positions in the virtual space (user room 80). Specifically, the product object obj0001 corresponding to the product ID "0001" is displayed at the coordinate positions (x1, y1, z1) in the virtual space. The product object obj0101 corresponding to the product ID "0101" is displayed at the coordinate position (x2, y2, z2) in the virtual space. The product object obj0102 corresponding to the product ID "0102" is displayed at the coordinate position (x3, y3, z3) in the virtual space. The product object obj0103 corresponding to the product ID "0103" is displayed at the coordinate position (x4, y4, z4) in the virtual space. The product object obj0104 corresponding to the product ID "0104" is displayed at the coordinate position (x5, y5, z5) in the virtual space.

In the user room data 326 shown in FIG. 9, since the display / non-display settings of the product objects obj0001, obj0101, obj0102, obj0103, and obj0104 are all "display", they are displayed in the user room 80. If the display / non-display setting is "hidden", it will not be displayed in the user room 80. The display / non-display setting can be changed from the menu screen (not shown) of the application.

The avatar 85 is displayed according to the avatar information (see FIG. 7) of the user data 324.

In the user room 80 displayed by the process of step S207, when any one of the product objects obj0001, obj0101, obj0102, obj0103, and obj0104 is instructed by the user (step S208; Yes), the control unit 401 of the user terminal 4 determines. Request information related to the instructed product from the server 3 (step S209). The server 3 acquires information related to the product instructed in response to the request from the user terminal 4 from the product-related data 322 and the user upload data 327 of the storage unit 302, and transmits the information to the user terminal 4 (step S210). The user terminal 4 receives and displays the information transmitted from the server 3 (steps S211 and S212).

FIG. 17 shows an example of a procedure for displaying related information. For example, when the product object obj0101 arranged in the user room 80 is instructed by the user, the user terminal 4 displays the related information list 81 and accepts the selection of the related information to be displayed. In the related information list 81, items such as "event date", "goods details", "memorial memo", "original content", and "related photograph" are displayed in a list as information related to the product. "Event date", "goods details", and "original content" are information stored in the product-related data 322, and "memorial memo" and "related photographed photo" are products uploaded by the user as user upload data 327. It is the data stored in association with.

For example, when "goods details" is selected from the related information list 81, the user terminal 4 sends a request for transmitting data of "goods details" of the product ID "0101" corresponding to the product object obj0101 to the server 3. .. The server 3 acquires the "goods details" information of the product-related data 322 stored in the storage unit 302 and transmits the information to the user terminal 4. The user terminal 4 displays the acquired "goods details" information as, for example, "M size, black, 2800 yen".

Further, for example, when the "original content" is selected from the related information list 81, the user terminal 4 requests the server 3 to transmit the data of the "original content" of the product ID "00101" corresponding to the product object obj0101. To send. The server 3 acquires the information of the "original content" of the product-related data 322 stored in the storage unit 302 and transmits it to the user terminal 4. The user terminal 4 displays the link information and the like of the acquired content "movie122".

Further, for example, when "memorial memo" is selected from the related information list 81, the user terminal 4 requests the server 3 to transmit the data of the "memorial memo" of the product ID "00101" corresponding to the product object obj0101. To send. The server 3 acquires the "memo" information of the user upload data 327 stored in the storage unit 302 and transmits it to the user terminal 4. The user terminal 4 displays the contents of the acquired memo "file02".

Further, for example, when the "related photograph" is selected from the related information list 81, the user terminal 4 sends the data of the "related photograph" of the product ID "00101" corresponding to the product object obj0101 to the server 3. Send a send request. The server 3 acquires the information of the "captured image" of the user upload data 327 stored in the storage unit 302 and transmits it to the user terminal 4. The user terminal 4 displays the acquired captured image "Image_050".

The related information list 81 may display only the items for which the related information is stored in the server 3, and may hide the items for which the related information is not stored.

Returning to the description of FIG.
When the product object is moved or the display / non-display setting is changed by the user's operation while the user room 80 is displayed in step S212 (step S213; Yes), the user terminal 4 is set to the user terminal 4. The arrangement information (coordinate position in the virtual space) after the movement of the product object and the display / non-display setting information after the change are transmitted to the server 3 (step S214). If the product object is not moved or the display / non-display setting is not changed (step S213; No), the process returns to step S208.

When the server 3 receives the arrangement information (coordinate position in the virtual space) after the movement of the product object and the display / non-display setting information after the change from the user terminal 4, the user room data 326 is updated and stored in the received contents. (Step S215).

The processes of steps S208 to S214 are performed until the end instruction of the application is input on the user terminal 4 (step S216; No). When the end instruction is input (step S216; Yes), the user terminal 4 ends the user room display process.

Next, the user room generation process will be described with reference to FIG. The user room generation process is executed when the user room data 326 of the user who has logged in to the server 3 is not stored (step S204; No in FIG. 15).

When the user room generation process is started, the control unit 401 of the user terminal 4 first displays the room selection screen (not shown) on the display unit 404 (step S301). On the room selection screen, for example, thumbnails of virtual spaces representing a plurality of selectable rooms are displayed. When a desired room (virtual space) is selected by the user on the room selection screen, the user terminal 4 transmits the selected room ID to the server 3 (step S302).

The server 3 transmits the virtual space data 323 corresponding to the room ID transmitted from the user terminal 4 to the user terminal 4, and corresponds to the actual product purchased based on the purchase history data 325 of the user of the user terminal 4. The product object data 321 to be processed is transmitted (step S303). For example, when the room (virtual space) with the room ID "R01" is selected, the server 3 transmits the CG data of the room ID "R01" from the virtual space data 323 to the user terminal 4. Further, the server 3 acquires the product IDs "0001", "0101", "0102", "0103", and "0104" of the actual products purchased by the user by referring to the purchase history data 325 of the user, and these products. The data of the product object stored in association with the ID is acquired from the product object data 321. The server 3 transmits the product objects obj0001, obj0101, obj0102, obj0103, and obj0104 to the user terminal 4.

The user terminal 4 receives the virtual space data and the product object data transmitted from the server 3 (step S304), and displays the virtual space (user room 80) on the display device (step S305). In addition, the purchased products (product objects) are displayed in a list (step S306). That is, the user terminal 4 displays a list of the product objects obj0001, obj0101, obj0102, obj0103, and obj0104 received in step S304.

The user terminal 4 accepts an operation of arranging each product object obj0001, obj0101, obj0102, obj0103, obj0104 in the virtual space (user room 80). In addition, the display / non-display setting of each product object obj0001, obj0101, obj0102, obj0103, obj0104 is accepted (step S307). The user terminal 4 transmits the arrangement information (coordinates (x, y, z) in the virtual space) of each product object and the display / non-display setting information to the server 3 as the user room data 326 (step S308).

The server 3 receives the arrangement information (coordinates (x, y, z) in the virtual space) of each product object and the display / non-display setting information transmitted from the user terminal 4 (step S309), and the user room data. It is stored in the storage unit 302 as 326 (step S310). As shown in FIG. 9, the user room data 326 associated with the user ID, the room ID, the product ID, the arrangement information, and the display / non-display setting information is stored in the storage unit 302 of the server 3.

In this way, the desired virtual space is selected by the user's operation to generate the user room 80, and the product object corresponding to the purchased actual product is arranged at the desired position in the virtual space (user room 80). , Can be stored.

Next, the notification function of the server 3 will be described. FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing the flow of notification processing.

The server 3 acquires the purchase history data 325 of each user from the storage unit 302 (step S401). Then, when the recommendation information related to the product purchased by the user is acquired from the website of the product provider or the related company (step S402), the content is notified to the user terminal 4 (step S403). The user terminal 4 receives the notification of the recommendation information from the server 3 (step S404) and displays it on the display unit 404 (step S405).

To acquire the recommendation information in step S402, the server 3 may search the Web every predetermined period such as once a day to acquire the information, or the product provider or the like obtains the recommendation information from the server at an arbitrary timing. It may be transmitted to 3. Further, the timing of notification by the server 3 may be each time the recommendation information is acquired, or may be notified at a time set by the user. The content of the recommendation information is, for example, notification information related to the product, release information of similar products, and the like.
