<About the competition watching event>
The communication system shown in FIG. 1 (hereinafter referred to as “event venue recommended system S”) is a communication system including an information processing device (hereinafter referred to as “server 30”) according to an embodiment of the present invention. A service that recommends the venue where the competition watching event is held (hereinafter referred to as "event venue recommended service") is provided to the user U.

A "competition watching event" is a type of event called live viewing, in which live images from a stadium where sports and other competitions are held are screened at other venues, and multiple spectators join together. It is an event to watch. Normally, a screen is installed at the venue, and visitors who visit the venue support the athletes who are the target of their support while watching the competition video displayed on the screen.
In this embodiment, the person who plans the competition watching event is not limited to the venue operator or a specialized event planning company. For example, a case where one of the users U who use the event venue recommendation system S becomes the organizer and the user U himself plans a competition watching event and recruits visitors is also included.

The “competition” is not limited to ball games such as baseball, soccer or basketball, and sports such as athletics, swimming or martial arts, as long as a plurality of athletes compete for superiority or inferiority under certain rules. For example, video games (including electronic sports), Go, Shogi, chess, Othello, poker, backgammon, mathematics, math, mental arithmetic, calligraphy, painting, sculpture, literature, architecture, music or cooking. good.

The "venue" may be any facility equipped with facilities capable of showing live images of the competition, and includes stores such as restaurants, hotels, halls, ceremonial halls, event spaces, studios, sports facilities, and the like.

It also includes a user U who is scheduled to visit or has a high probability of visiting, such as making a reservation for an event.

The "attribute related to the support target" is one of the attributes associated with each user U as well as the attributes such as gender, age, and contact information, and is used to identify the athlete who is the support target supported by the user U. belongs to. That is, the attribute related to the support target indicates that the user U is a fan of a specific team or a specific individual, and supports those teams or individuals.

"Selection" is a venue where the number of visitor users is large, which is classified into the same attributes related to the support target as the attributes related to the support target of the target user by comparing the attributes related to each other's support target between the visitor user and the target user for each venue. Or, it means to prioritize the selection of venues with a high ratio. At this time, the cases classified into the same attributes related to the support target include not only the case where the same team or individual is the support target, but also the case where a certain team and an individual belonging to the certain team are targeted for support, or there is a case. This includes the case where a team and a team related to a certain team (for example, a team of another genre owned by the same owner) are targeted for support.

The “venue attribute” refers to the attribute of the venue where the competition watching event is held, and includes, for example, the venue name, venue contact information, venue address, venue URL, and the like.

The "characteristics of the venue" refers to the dynamic characteristics of the venue that arise from the attributes related to the support target of the visiting user. The characteristics of the venue include, for example, the atmosphere of the venue, which depends on which athlete has many visitors to support (the number of fans for each athlete), and the degree of excitement of the venue depending on the number of visitors. including. The characteristics of this venue are determined by various factors, but for example, it is also affected by the attributes related to the support target of the gathering visitor users and the vacancy status (visitor rate) indicated by the ticket sales record. It may change over time.

The characteristics of the venue can be predicted from the ticket sales record and the like, even before the start of the competition start event, what kind of atmosphere it will be when the competition start event starts at that venue.
Specifically, when tickets are sold by associating tickets with athletes and classifying them according to support targets, the number of tickets sold, that is, more tickets associated with which athletes are purchased by user U. By analyzing whether or not the venue is located, the characteristics of the venue can be predicted. For example, in a competition in which Player A and Player B compete against each other, if more tickets associated with Player A are purchased, more fans of Player A will gather at the venue and Player A will gather. It can be predicted that the atmosphere will support.
In addition, even when a ticket is sold without associating the ticket with a player, which player is supported by many visitors by analyzing the attributes related to the support target of each visitor user who purchased the ticket. By specifying, the characteristics of the venue can be predicted.

When recommending a venue, the current position of the target user (strictly speaking, the information terminal carried by the user U) is specified using GPS (Global Positioning System) or the like, and the current position and the current time are used. Based on the above, a venue where the target user can arrive within the holding time of the competition watching event may be recommended. At this time, when calculating the arrival time, it is advisable to consider the average travel time using public transportation.

The "holding time" generally refers to a time zone including a competition time in which the competition is actually held and a predetermined time before and after the competition time. However, even if you arrive at the venue after the competition, you may not be able to fully enjoy it, so the venue recommended here may be limited to venues that can arrive within the competition time, or the competition time. It may be limited to venues that can be reached before the start of the event or when, for example, more than half of the competition time is left.

In addition, when recommending a venue, a venue with a visitor user related to the target user may be recommended. For example, a venue in which another user U who has a friendship with the target user and the user U (hereinafter referred to as "friend") who is mutually approved and linked by the user U participates as a visitor user. May be recommended. In addition, a venue in which a user U who has a history of participating in the same competition watching event (participation history) in the past participates as a visitor user may be recommended.

Then, when the target user finds a venue that suits his / her taste and taste from the venues holding the competition watching event recommended by the event venue recommendation system S as described above, the target user uses the event venue recommendation system S. Then, purchase a ticket for the competition watching event (S102) and participate in the competition watching event according to the holding time (S103).
