It has a question icon 327 and. In the illustrated example, when the voting icon 321 is selected, the voting recording operation, which is the voting recording operation, is started. Similarly, when the address registration icon 323 is selected, the address registration operation, which is the voter registration operation, is started. When the discount icon 325 is selected, the service providing operation, which is the service providing operation, is started. When the question icon 327 is selected, frequently asked questions and their answers are displayed. In the following, each of the address registration operation, the voting recording operation, and the service provision operation will be described in this order.

<Address registration operation>
FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the voting area table 470.
FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining an address registration operation. Further explaining, FIG. 5 (a) is a diagram showing a polling place admission ticket 410, FIG. 5 (b) is a diagram showing an address reading image 430, and FIG. 5 (c) is a diagram showing a polling place registration image 450. It is a figure which shows.

Next, the address registration operation of the management device 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5.
First, the address registration operation of the management device 10 is started by the voter operating the address registration icon 323 (see FIG. 3A) displayed on the terminal 30. When the address registration icon 323 is selected, the address registration image 350 is displayed on the terminal 30 as shown in FIG. 3 (b). The address registration image 350 uses a character input icon 351 that starts a process of inputting an address as character information by a user operating a terminal 30 or the like, and an address by character recognition from an image acquired by a camera such as the terminal 30 by the user. It has a character recognition icon 353 for which the acquisition process is started.

Here, the relationship between the polling place where the voter votes and the address of the voter will be described. Voting area as shown in FIG. 4, as shown in Table 470, the polling place where the voter votes may be predetermined for each voting area. That is, the polling place is determined according to the address of the voter. In the illustrated example, there are "Ebisu Elementary School", "Ebisu Junior High School", "Ebisu High School", and "Ebisu High School Branch School" as polling stations, and voting areas are assigned to each. For example, in "Ebisu High School Branch School", the "voting area" is "Ebisu 7-chome". That is, for voters whose address is "Ebisu 7-chome", "Ebisu High School Branch School" will be the polling place.

In the present embodiment, the information indicating the relationship between the polling place and the address of the voter shown in the voting area table 470 is stored by the voting area reception unit 153 (see FIG. 2). The voting area table 470 is published, for example, on the website of a local public body in the voting area. Then, the voting area reception unit 153 acquires the voting area table 470 via the network 90. Note that, for example, the voting area reception unit 153 may acquire the information shown in the voting area table 470 by input from the administrator of the management device 10.

Then, from the voting area table 470 stored in the voting area reception unit 153, information on the polling place where the voter should vote is obtained based on the address of the voter registered by the voter. Although the details will be described later, if the position information of the polling place where the target voter should vote and the position information of the terminal 30 operated by the voter match, it is determined that the voter has voted.

By the way, some voters may not want their address to be registered in the voting privilege providing system 1 for reasons such as protection of personal information. Therefore, in the present embodiment, not all the information of the voter's address is registered in the voting privilege providing system 1, but the polling place is specified by registering up to the range where the polling place can be specified, such as the name of the city, ward, town, and village. Do not register detailed information beyond the possible range.

For example, suppose the voter's address is 7-7-7 Ebisu Minami, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo. At this address, "Ebisu Minami 7-chome" is the "town name", "7" is the block code, and "7" is the house number. Of these, the information registered by the management device 10 does not include at least the house number of the voter's address, preferably does not include the block code, and more preferably does not include the town name. If there is a building name (for example, Ebisu Building), the mode may not include the building name.

Therefore, when the character input icon 351 in the address registration image 350 accepts the operation, it is up to the time when the voting place is input to the identifiable range (in the above example, "7-chome, Ebisu Minami, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo"). At the time when the voter inputs it), the registration icon (not shown) can be operated to enable registration. In addition, when the character input icon 351 in the address registration image 350 accepts the operation and the voter inputs all the addresses (in the above example, "7-7-7 Ebisu Minami, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo"". (If the voter inputs up to), an image confirming to the voter that the voting office will register within the identifiable range (for example, "Do you want to register up to 7-chome, Ebisu Minami, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo?") Is displayed. do.

Next, a case where the character recognition icon 353 in the address registration image 350 accepts the operation will be described.

First, polling place admission tickets may be mailed to voters before the voting date. As shown in FIG. 5A, the polling place admission ticket 410 has a title image 411 showing that it is a polling place admission ticket, an address image 413 showing the voter's address, and a name image showing the voter's name. It has 415, a voting period image 417 showing a voting period, and a polling place image 421 showing information on the polling place. The polling place image 421 has a polling place address image 423 showing the address of the polling place and a polling place map 425 which is a map of the polling place.

Then, when the character recognition icon 353 in the address registration image 350 accepts the operation, a reading promotion image (not shown) prompting the terminal 30 to read the address image 413 or the polling place image 421 is displayed on the terminal 30. .. Then, according to this reading promotion image, the address image 413 or the polling place image 421 is read by the camera 308 of the terminal 30 (see FIG. 13 described later). The determination of whether the read image is either the address image 413 or the polling place image 421 is determined by, for example, the polling place in which the read text information is included in the polling place table 470 stored in the voting area reception unit 153. It is judged by whether or not it is.

Then, as shown in FIG. 4B, when it is determined that the address image 413 has been read, the address reading image 430 is displayed on the terminal 30. The address reading image 430 has a title image 431, a recognition character string image 433, and a registration determination image 435 that prompts the user to determine whether to register. The registration determination image 435 includes an execution image 437 that executes registration and a rejection image 439 that rejects registration. Here, the recognition character string image 433 is character information indicating a part of the address as described above. In this way, not all of the address images 413 are registered, but up to the range that can be specified by the polling place. Further explaining, personal information can be protected by not including a house number or the like as the information read by the address image 413.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4C, when it is determined that the polling place image 421 has been read, the polling place registration image 450 is displayed on the terminal 30. The polling place registration image 450 has a title image 451 and a registration determination image 453 that prompts the user to determine whether to register the polling place. The registration determination image 453 includes an execution image 455 that executes registration and a rejection image 457 that rejects registration. In this way, personal information can be protected by registering a polling place instead of the address of the voter. Further, in the illustrated example, an address (representative address) representing the voting area corresponding to the registered polling place is registered as a substitute for the address of the voter. This representative address may be any address included in the voting area. For example, when the voting area is "Ebisu 1-chome to 3-chome", it may be "Ebisu 1-chome" written at the beginning.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the voter registration operation of the management device 10.
As shown in FIG. 6, the voter information reception unit 111 of the management device 10 determines whether the address input is selected by operating the character input icon 351 (S601). When the address input is selected (YES in S601), the voter operates the terminal 30, and the address reception unit 119 accepts the input of a part of the voter's address (S602). Then, the address reception unit 119 stores the acquired address (S603).

On the other hand, when the address input is not selected (NO in S601), that is, when the character recognition using the camera is selected by operating the character recognition icon 353, the voter obtains by operating the terminal 30. The polling place reading unit 125 determines whether the image is a polling place image (S604). When it is a polling place image (YES in S604), the polling place reading unit 125 reads the polling place and displays the polling place registration image 450 on the terminal 30 (S605). Then, the polling place reading unit 125 acquires the representative address based on the voting area information (S606). Then, the address reception unit 119 stores the acquired address (S603).

On the other hand, if it is not a polling place image (NO in S604), the city / ward / town / village reading unit 123 reads the address by character recognition (S607). Then, among the read character information, the process of hiding the detailed information is performed, and the address read image 430 is displayed on the terminal 30 (S608). Then, the address reception unit 119 stores the acquired address (S603).

<Voting recording operation>

The voting completion icon 511 shown in FIG. 7A is an icon selected (operated) by the voter at the polling place. When the voting completion icon 511 is selected, the position information of the terminal 30 acquired by the GPS sensor 309 of the terminal 30 (FIG. 13 described later) is transmitted to the management device 10. Then, when the position information of the terminal 30 and the polling place match and it is determined that the voter has completed the voting in the management device 10, the reception completion image 570 is displayed on the terminal 30 as shown in FIG. 7 (d). NS. The reception completion image 570 includes a coupon acquisition image 571 showing that the coupon has been acquired, and a coupon image 573 displayed when receiving a service such as a discount. Here, the coupon image 573 includes a read image 575, which is a QR code (registered trademark) read at a store when receiving a service. Although not shown, the reception completion image 570 is not displayed when the location information of the terminal 30 and the polling place does not match, that is, when it is not determined that the voter has completed the vote.

The polling place photo acquisition icon 513 shown in FIG. 7B is an icon that the voter can select at a place other than the polling place. That is, the process is executed regardless of the position information of the terminal 30. When the polling place photo acquisition icon 513 is selected, an image (not shown) requesting transmission of a photo of the signboard displayed at the polling place is displayed on the terminal 30. Then, as shown in FIG. 7B, the polling place image 530 having the standing signboard image 531 is transmitted from the terminal 30 to the management device 10. Then, when it is confirmed in the management device 10 that the image of the signboard is included as the specific image and it is determined that the voter has completed the voting, the reception completion image 570 shown in FIG. 7D is displayed on the terminal 30. Will be done. Although not shown, the reception completion image 570 is not displayed when it is not confirmed that the image of the signboard is included, that is, when it is not determined that the voter has completed the vote.

The certificate photo acquisition icon 515 shown in FIG. 7C is an icon that the voter can select at a place other than the polling place. That is, the process is executed regardless of the position information of the terminal 30. When the certificate photo acquisition icon 515 is selected, an image (not shown) requesting the transmission of the certificate photo is displayed on the terminal 30. Then, as shown in FIG. 7C, the certificate image 550 including the certificate 551 is transmitted from the terminal 30 to the management device 10. Then, when it is confirmed that the image of the certificate is included and it is determined in the management device 10 that the voter has completed the voting, the reception completion image 570 shown in FIG. 7D is displayed on the terminal 30. Although not shown, the reception completion image 570 is not displayed when it is not confirmed that the image of the certificate is included, that is, when it is not determined that the voter has completed the vote.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the voting recording operation.
Next, the voting recording operation by the management device 10 will be described with reference to FIG.
First, it is determined whether or not the position information acquisition unit 131 of the vote recording unit 130 has accepted the voting completion operation (S801). Then, when the position information acquisition unit 131 accepts the voting completion operation (YES in S801), the position information acquisition unit 131 acquires the position information of the terminal 30 (S802). Then, it is determined whether or not the position information of the terminal 30 acquired by the position information acquisition unit 131 matches the position information of the registered polling place (S803). If it matches the location information of the registered polling place (YES in S803), the completion unit 137 performs the voting completion process (S804). Then, the completion unit 137 displays the reception completion image 570 on the terminal 30 (S805).

On the other hand, when the position information acquisition unit 131 does not accept the voting completion operation (NO in S801), it is determined whether or not the specific image acquisition unit 133 has detected the specific image (S806). When a specific image is detected (YES in S806), the completion unit 137 performs the voting completion process (S804).

On the other hand, when the specific image is not detected (NO in S806), it is determined whether or not the certificate reading unit 135 has detected the certificate image (S807). When the certificate image is detected (YES in S807), the completion unit 137 performs the voting completion process (S804).

If the image of the certificate image is not detected (NO in S807), the completion unit 137 displays an error image (S808).

To further explain, when the voter who owns the terminal 30 moves and a store where the privilege is provided exists within a predetermined distance (for example, 300 m) from the voter (terminal 30), a push is made. The notification image 713 is displayed on the terminal 30. In the following description, a store that exists within a predetermined distance (for example, 300 m) from the voter (terminal 30) and is provided with benefits to the voter may be referred to as a neighboring store.

Then, when the voter operates the push notification image 713, as shown in FIG. 9B, a nearby store image 750, which is a map showing the periphery of the terminal 30, is displayed on the terminal 30. The neighborhood store image 750 has a terminal 30, that is, a current location image 751 showing the current location of the voter, a neighborhood first store image 753 showing a neighborhood store, and a neighborhood second store image 755, respectively. Then, when either the neighborhood first store image 753 or the neighborhood second store image 755 is selected by the voter, the coupon image 573 (see FIG. 7D) at the selected store is displayed. By showing the coupon image 573 to the store manager of the corresponding store, the voter can receive a discount on the fee. At this time, in the store, the usage record is made by reading the read image 575 of the coupon image 573 with a reading device (not shown).

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a service providing operation.
Next, the service providing operation by the management device 10 will be described with reference to FIG. It should be noted that this service providing operation is executed by executing the voting recording operation. To further explain, in the above-mentioned voting recording operation, the completion unit 137 performs the voting completion process (see S804 in FIG. 8), so that the neighborhood information notification unit 215 searches for the existence of the neighboring store.

Then, it is determined whether or not the neighborhood information notification unit 215 has detected a nearby store (S1001). When a neighboring store is detected (YES in S1001), the push notification image 713 is displayed on the terminal 30 to notify the voter of the neighboring store (S1002). Then, it is determined whether or not the service store display unit 211 has accepted the display instruction of the service store (S1003). When the service store display instruction is received (YES in S1003), the service store display unit 211 displays the service store (S1004).

Next, the discount image display unit 213 determines whether or not the discount image display instruction has been accepted (S1005). When the discount image display instruction is received (YES in S1005), the discount image display unit 213 displays the coupon image 573. Then, by reading the scanned image 575, it is determined whether or not the usage history recording unit 217 has accepted the usage record (S1007). When the usage record is accepted (YES in S1007), the usage history recording unit 217 updates the usage history (S1008).

<Mock voting operation>
Next, the simulated voting operation executed by the voting privilege providing system 1 will be described.
First, as described above, the mock voting is performed by a user who does not have the right to vote, such as a junior high school student. In this mock voting, a mock voting is performed to select a candidate from among the candidates for the actual election such as the parliamentary election, although it is not a valid vote in the actual election. Further, in this mock voting, the constituency of the actual election is determined from the address of the user who does not have the right to vote, and the candidate of the determined constituency is voted in a mock manner. By performing a mock vote, the same service as the voter who has the actual voting right can be received at the service store.

Further, in the mock voting, the reason why the user himself has selected the candidate is input via the terminal 30. Then, by aggregating the reasons for this from a plurality of users such as the entire class in junior high school, it is possible to learn about the difficulty of selecting candidates.

In addition, for example, a junior high school student may visit a nearby store as a class for understanding the local community. Therefore, in this visit, a user who is a junior high school student requests the visited store to register as a service store and interviews social issues in the area. Then, the result of the interview is input via the terminal 30. Alternatively, regardless of the interview, the problem of the area that oneself thinks is input via the terminal 30. By making the input regional issues visible to other users, the management device 10 provides an opportunity for the user to think about social issues in the region.

FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining a simulated voting operation.
Next, the simulated voting operation executed by the simulated voting recording unit 170 will be described with reference to FIG.

First, when performing a mock vote, as shown in FIG. 11A, the mock vote execution unit 171 displays the mock vote reception image 810 on the terminal 30. The simulated voting reception image 810 has a title image 811, a candidate selection image 813, and a voting icon 815. In the candidate selection image 813, the user votes from a plurality of candidates as "candidate A", "candidate B", and "candidate C", which are actual election candidates determined from the user's registered address. At least one candidate can be selected. Then, after the candidate is selected in the candidate selection image 813, the voting icon 815 is operated, so that the mock voting execution unit 171 accepts the mock voting. Then, the reception completion image 570 (see FIG. 7D) is displayed on the terminal 30.

Further, when the mock voting execution unit 171 accepts the vote in the mock voting, the selection reason reception unit 173 displays the mock voting comment image 830 on the terminal 30, as shown in FIG. 11B. The mock voting comment image 830 has a reason selection image 833, a free entry field 835, and an input confirmation icon 837. In the reason selection image 833, the voting reason can be selected from a plurality of reasons such as "because I agreed with the policy", "because it was cool", "because I met the candidate", and "other". When "Other" is selected in the reason selection image 833, the user can enter a character string in the free entry field 835. Then, after the voting reason is selected in the reason selection image 833, the input confirmation icon 837 is operated, so that the selection reason reception unit 173 receives the voting reason for the vote in the mock voting. The selection reason reception unit 173 stores the accepted voting reasons, and aggregates and displays the voting reasons, for example, in response to an instruction from the user.

In addition, the task reception unit 175 accepts regional tasks that the user inputs by operating the terminal 30. Then, as shown in FIG. 11C, the task reception unit 175 displays the regional task display image 850 showing the regional task received on the terminal 30. The regional task display image 850 has a first task 851, a second task 853, and a third task 855. Here, each of the first task 851 to the third task 855 is filled in by a user different from each other as "user A", "user B", and "user C". In this way, by making the regional issue display image 850 visible to other users, it becomes possible to better understand the issues in the region. Issues in this area may be shared with other users via social network services (SNS).

In the above explanation, the candidate for the election is specified based on the constituency determined from the registered address of the user, that is, the registered address of the user and the constituency are linked to be the target of the mock voting. I explained that the candidate information will change, but it is not limited to this. That is, a configuration in which a candidate is determined based on the address of the junior high school in which the user is enrolled, for example, when the user is a junior high school student, or a voting privilege providing system regardless of the actual constituency, not based on the registered address of the user. The structure may be such that the manager of 1 determines a candidate in advance.

<Modification example>
In the above description, as a privilege received by the user who operates the terminal 30, it has been described that the discount service is received at the store, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the management device 10 may grant (deliver) coins, items, characters, etc. in a specific game executed on the terminal 30 or the like. Further, for example, it may be a right to discount mobile phone communication charges, insurance charges, etc., or to preferentially enter a facility where a waiting time usually occurs.

Further, the terminal 30 may display an image notifying the user that it is the election day at a predetermined time on the election day. By displaying this image on the terminal 30, the user is encouraged to vote.

In addition, early voting (absentee ballot) may be held in elections. In early voting, a polling place different from the polling place on the due date may be assigned. Therefore, the management device 10 may have a time information acquisition unit for acquiring time information and an early voting information acquisition unit for acquiring location information (address, etc.) of a polling place for early voting. Then, when the time information acquired by the time information acquisition unit is before the due date, the position information of the terminal 30 transmitted from the terminal 30 and the position information of the polling place for the early voting acquired by the early voting information acquisition unit are used. If they match, authentication may be performed.
