<Thumbnail image list display processing of stamps>
First, using FIGS. 5 to 8, a process until the stamp of the second server 10 can be used on the messaging application provided by the first server 40 and executed by the terminal 20 will be described. FIG. 5 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the exchange of each device in the communication system.

As shown in FIG. 5, first, the second server 10 transmits all the stamp information of the second stamp library 300 to be held to the first server 40 (step S501). All stamp information referred to here includes thumbnail image information of the stamp and image information of the stamp actually used in the room.

The first server 40 stores the second stamp library 300 received from the second server 10 in the storage unit 45 (step S502).

On the other hand, the terminal 20 uses the first messaging service provided by the first server 40 to display a room for exchanging contents with other users of the terminal 20. At this time, the terminal 20 receives a request from the user to display the second stamp list of the second server 10 in order to use the stamp of the second server 10. The second stamp list is information including a stamp group registered in the second stamp library and a plurality of stamps included in each stamp group. Then, the terminal 20 requests the first server 40 for the second stamp list (step S504).

When the first server 40 receives the request for the second stamp list from the terminal 20, the first server 40 transmits the second stamp list to the terminal 20 based on the second stamp library stored in the storage unit 45 (step S505).

The terminal 20 receives the second stamp list transmitted from the first server 40 and displays it on the first messaging application of the first server 40 (step S506).

Next, the operation of the terminal 20 for realizing the exchange shown in FIG. 5 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. FIG. 6 is an operation example of the terminal 20, and is a flowchart showing an example of the operation when the first messaging application provided by the first server 40 is being executed.

As shown in FIG. 6, the input / output unit 23 of the terminal 20 receives a stamp display request provided by the second server 10 from the user (step S601). The stamp display request referred to here is for displaying a screen for selecting a stamp in order to use the stamp of the second server 10. As an example, the terminal 20 may accept a stamp display request by touching an icon for using the stamp provided on the first messaging application. Alternatively, the terminal 20 is not limited, but as an example, a button for displaying a menu for performing various inputs and settings related to the messaging service on the first messaging application is provided, and the button is touched to stamp. You may accept the stamp display request by selecting the menu for displaying. The input / output unit 23 transmits the input content to the control unit 21.

The message processing unit 213 of the control unit 21 transmits the second stamp list request of the second server 10 to the first server 40 via the communication I / F 22 (step S602). The second stamp list request is to request the thumbnail image of the second stamp included in each stamp group in order to display the thumbnail image of the second stamp of the second server 10 in a list.

The control unit 21 waits until the second stamp list transmitted from the first server 40 is received via the communication I / F 22 (NO in step S603). When the control unit 21 receives the second stamp list of the second server 10 transmitted from the first server 40 via the communication I / F 22 (YES in step S603), the control unit 21 is on the first messaging application. The display unit 24 displays the list of the second stamps of the second server 10. That is, the terminal 20 displays a list of thumbnail images of the second stamp of the second server 10 on the display unit 24 (step S604).

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the first server 40 for realizing the exchange shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 7, the communication I / F 44 of the first server 40 receives all the stamp information of the second server 10 transmitted from the second server 10, that is, the second stamp library (step S701). The communication I / F 44 transmits the received second stamp library to the control unit 41.

The control unit 41 stores the received second stamp library in the storage unit 45 (step S702).

When the communication I / F 44 receives the second stamp list request of the second server 10 from the terminal 20 using the first messaging service (YES in step S703), the communication I / F 44 stores the second stamp in the storage unit 45. Based on the second stamp library of the server 10, the display information for displaying the second stamp list is transmitted to the terminal 20 that has sent the second stamp list request (step S704), and the process returns to the process of step S703.

If the communication I / F 44 has not received the second stamp list request of the second server 10 from the terminal 20 that uses the first messaging service (NO in step S703), the communication I / F 44 stands by.

Since the process as the second server 10 only transmits all the information of the second stamp to the first server 40, detailed description using the flowchart will be omitted.

As described above, the second server 10 transmits and stores all the information of the second stamp of the second server 10 in advance to the first server 40, so that the first messaging provided by the first server 40 is provided. It is possible to use the second stamp on the service as well.

<Display example>
FIG. 8A is a display example of the room of the first messaging application provided by the first server 40 before displaying the second stamp list, and displays the stamp list provided by the first server 40. This is an example of a screen showing the state of being present. As shown in FIG. 8A, when the input for using the stamp is performed, usually only the list of stamps (thumbnail image) provided by the first server is displayed. That is, as shown in FIG. 8A, under the display area 810 of the room, a representative stamp of the stamp group that can distinguish the stamp group provided by the first service is displayed in the area 811, and below that, a representative stamp of the stamp group is displayed. An area 812 for displaying the stamps included in the stamp group is provided. A representative stamp of each stamp group is displayed in the area 811, and by selecting one of the representative stamps displayed in the area 811, a thumbnail image of the stamp corresponding to the representative stamp in the selected state (limited). An example of the first related image) is displayed in the area 812. In the example shown in FIG. 8A, the thumbnail images of these stamps are associated with the tabs of the first service (examples of the first information, not the limitation) so that it can be understood that they belong to the first service. An example of displaying is shown. Then, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 8A, the user inputs a display request for the stamp of the second service by using a menu or the like.

FIG. 8B is a screen example showing a state in which a list of thumbnail images of the second stamp is displayed on the first messaging application. That is, it is a screen example displayed on the terminal 20 when the process of step S604 of FIG. 6 is performed, and the display mode is changed from the display mode shown in FIG. 8 (a) to the display mode shown in FIG. 8 (b). As shown in FIG. 8B, the representative stamp of the second stamp of the second server 10 is displayed in the area 822. Then, by selecting one of the representative stamps displayed in the area 822, the stamp group corresponding to the representative stamp selected in the area 823 (thumbnail image group of the second stamp (not limited but second related). Image example)) is displayed. As shown in FIG. 8B, each stamp is a tab of the second service so that the stamp displayed in the area 822 and the area 823 can be identified as the stamp provided by the second server 10. It is displayed in association with (an example of the second information, not a limitation). Here, an example is shown in which each stamp is represented by a tab indicating which messaging service it is derived from, but this is information that can distinguish each service from the stamps that can be used in each service. , It may or may not be expressed by a logo or an icon indicating the first service or the second service. Further, the service name may or may not be displayed in the corner of each stamp so that each stamp can be distinguished from which service. Further, what is displayed is not limited to each service name, and may or may not be the identification information of the application provided by each service.

In addition, in FIG. 8, in order to clearly show that the stamp list of the second service different from the first service can be displayed, the thumbnail images of the stamps are listed under the input area for inputting the text etc. to the room in the room. Although an example of providing a display area is shown, the list of thumbnail images of the stamps of the first service and the second service may be displayed in a pop-up so as to be viewable in individual windows. Further, here, the list of thumbnail images of the stamps of the second service is displayed by requesting the display of the stamp list of the second service from the terminal 20, but this is because the user of the terminal 20 can display the list. When the first messaging application is being executed, the second messaging application may be further executed and the login to the second messaging service may be displayed as a trigger. This will be described with reference to the sequence diagram shown in FIG. FIG. 9 is a sequence diagram showing an example of interaction between each device when the terminal 20 logs in to the second messaging service on the first messaging service and displays the stamp list of the second service on the first messaging application. Is. As shown in FIG. 9, the terminal 20 activates the second messaging application while the first messaging application is being executed (step S901). On the terminal 20, a plurality of applications can be executed simultaneously and in parallel, and while the first messaging application is being executed, the second messaging application can be started and the second messaging service can be logged in. That is, the terminal 20 transmits login information (not limited, but as an example, a combination of a login ID (user ID) and a password) for logging in to the second messaging service from the user of the terminal 20 to the second server 10 ( Step S902). Upon receiving the user's login, the second server 10 authenticates the received login information (step S903). Here, it is assumed that the authentication is successful and the user of the terminal 20 can log in. The second server 10 transmits information indicating that the login is successful to the terminal 20, and also transmits information displayed by the second messaging application (step S904). On the other hand, the second server 10 also transmits information indicating that the user of the terminal 20 has successfully logged in to the second messaging service to the first server 40 (step S905). The first server 40 identifies a user who has successfully logged in based on the received information, and transmits information for displaying a list of thumbnail images of the second stamp of the second messaging service to the terminal 20 of the specified user. (Step S906). Then, the terminal 20 displays a list of the received thumbnail images (step S907). In step S904, information indicating that the user of the terminal 20 has successfully logged in to the second messaging service is transmitted from the second server 10 to the first server 40, but this process is not executed. Further, after the process of step S903, the same process can be realized by transmitting information indicating that the login to the second messaging service is successful from the terminal 20 to the first server 40.

Alternatively, upon logging in to the second messaging service, the terminal 20 displays information indicating that the second stamp of the second messaging service can be used on the first messaging application. It may be that. This will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. FIG. 10 is an operation example of the terminal 20, and is a flowchart showing an operation example when displaying information indicating that the second stamp of the second messaging service can be used on the first messaging application. Is. As shown in FIG. 10, the display processing unit 212 of the terminal 20 displays the room by the first messaging application on the display unit 24 (step S1001). The input / output unit 23 of the terminal 20 receives an input for logging in to the second messaging service from the user of the terminal 20 (step S1002). This login can be executed by selecting the login to the second messaging service from the first messaging application while the first messaging application is being executed (the room is being displayed) from the menu of the first messaging application or the like. Alternatively, the first messaging application may display an icon or button for logging in to the second messaging service in advance, and the user may be able to log in by touching the displayed icon or button. The display processing unit 212 of the terminal 20 displays an input form for accepting input of login information for logging in to the second messaging service on the first messaging application on the display unit 24 (step S1003). The terminal 20 transmits the login information input to the input form to the second server 10 via the communication I / F 22 (step S1004). The control unit 21 of the terminal 20 receives information from the second server 10 indicating that the communication I / F 22 has successfully logged in to the second messaging service (YES in step S1005). If the login successful information has not been received, the system waits (NO in step S1005). The control unit 21 of the terminal 20 determines whether or not the room of the first messaging application is displayed in a usable state on the second stamp of the second messaging service (step S1006). If the second stamp of the second messaging service is not displayed in an available state (YES in step S1006), information indicating that the second stamp can be used is displayed on the first messaging application (step S1007). ). If the second stamp has already been displayed in an available state (NO in step S1006), the process ends. As a result, the user of the terminal 20 can be prompted to input a menu for using the second stamp. In FIG. 10, the login information is transmitted from the terminal 20 to the second server 10, but this may be transmitted to the second server 10 via the first server 40. good.

<Processing of stamp use>
11 to 14, a process when the second stamp of the second server 10 is actually used on the first messaging service will be described.

FIG. 11 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the exchange of each device when the stamp is used. The process shown in FIG. 11 is a process after the execution of the process shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 11, the first terminal 20a accepts the selection input of the stamp to be used by the user from the list of the second stamps displayed on the room between the first terminal 20a and the second terminal 20b (step S1101). ). Then, the first terminal 20a transmits the stamp ID of the selected stamp to the first server 40 (step S1102).

When the first server 40 receives the stamp ID from the first terminal 20a, the first server 40 specifies the stamp to be used from the second stamp library (step S1103). Then, the first server 40 has an image of the specified stamp with respect to the first terminal 20a that requested the stamp and the second terminal 20b of another user belonging to the room to which the first terminal 20a requested the stamp. Information is transmitted (step S1104).

When the first terminal 20a receives the image information of the stamp requested from the first server 40, it displays it in the room (step S1105). By this processing, for example, an image of the received stamp (an example of the first image, not a limitation) is displayed in the display area 810 of FIG. Here, in step S1104, the image information of the stamp is transmitted from the first server 40 to the first terminal 20a using the stamp, but the image information of the stamp used by the first terminal 20a is transmitted. When the information is stored in the storage unit 28, it is not necessary to transmit the information. In that case, the first terminal 20a may display the image information of the stamp read from the storage unit 28 on the room.

On the other hand, the user of the first terminal 20a also receives the image information of the stamp from the first server 40 on the second terminal 20b of the user who belongs to the room using the stamp. Then, the second terminal 20b also displays the received stamp in the room between the second terminal 20a and the first terminal 20a (step S1106).

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the first terminal 20a for realizing the exchange shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 12, the control unit 21 of the first terminal 20a causes the display unit 24 to display the room between the second terminal 20b and the second terminal 20b of the first messaging application according to the input from the user to the input / output unit 23. Step S1201). Then, the user causes the first terminal 20a to display the list of the second stamps of the second server 10.

The input / output unit 23 of the first terminal 20a receives from the user the designation of the stamp to be used from the list of the second stamps (step S1202). The input / output unit 23 transmits information indicating the stamp selected by the user to the control unit 21.

The control unit 21 transmits the stamp ID of the selected stamp received from the input / output unit 23 and the room ID for identifying the room to be used to the first server 40 via the communication I / F 22 (step S1203). ).

When the control unit 21 receives the image information of the stamp specified by the second server 10 from the first server 40 via the communication I / F 22 (YES in step S1204), the control unit 21 displays the image information of the received stamp. It is displayed on the room displayed on the display unit 24 (step S1205), and the process is terminated. The control unit 21 waits until the image information of the designated stamp is received (NO in step S1204). Although it has been explained in step S1104 that the image information of the stamp may not be transmitted from the first server 40 to the first terminal 20a, in this case, the process of step S1204 is not executed and step S1205. In, the image of the stamp stored in the storage unit 28 of the terminal 20 is displayed on the room.

FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the first server 40 for realizing the exchange shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 13, the communication I / F 44 of the first server 40 includes a room ID in which the terminal 20 exchanges contents from the terminal 20, a user ID indicating a user of the terminal 20, and a user of the terminal 20. The stamp ID of the selected stamp and the stamp ID are received (step S1301). The communication I / F 44 transmits the received room ID, user ID, and stamp ID to the control unit 41.

The stamp processing unit 412 of the control unit 41 receives and stores the image information of the stamp corresponding to the received stamp ID in the storage unit 45 from the second stamp library in advance from the second stamp library. Specify (step S1302).

The stamp processing unit 412 sends the image information of the specified stamp to the terminal 20 of the user related to the room ID that receives the image information of the specified stamp via the communication I / F44, and the image information of the specified stamp and the user who used the stamp. The user ID indicating the above is transmitted (step S1303), and the process is terminated.

The second terminal 20b receives the image information of the stamp of the second server 10 from the first server 40 and displays it in the room between the second terminal 20a and the user in association with the user who used the stamp. Therefore, the description using the flowchart is omitted.

<Effect of Embodiment 1>
As shown in the first embodiment, the second stamp of the second server 10 is transmitted from the second server 10 to the first server 40 in advance, and the first server 40 stores the second stamp, so that the first server can be stored. 40 can make a user who uses the first messaging service use the second stamp of the second server 10 on the first messaging service provided by himself / herself.
Further, when the first server 40 receives the information for designating the second stamp from the terminal 20 on the room of the first messaging service, the first server 40 sends the image information of the second stamp to the terminal 20 and the terminal related to the room. Send to 20. Then, the terminal 20 displays the received second stamp image on the room.
As a result, the terminal 20 can use the stamp of a different service (second service) on a messaging service (first messaging service) different from the messaging service (second messaging service) that provides the stamp. The types of stamps that can be used in the first messaging service can be enriched, and the convenience of the user in using the first messaging service can be improved.

Further, the terminal 20 can display a list of thumbnail images of the second stamp of the second messaging service by making a list request of the second stamp of the second messaging service, and the user can use the second stamp. The stamp can be confirmed at a glance, and the second stamp to be used can be selected from the thumbnail images of the second stamp displayed in the list.

Further, the terminal 20 displays the stamp list of each of the first messaging service and the second messaging service in a display mode that can be distinguished by associating with the information indicating each service. Then, the user selects the stamp of the second messaging service from the services displayed individually, and the terminal 20 can display the selected stamp on the room. By displaying the thumbnail image of the stamp in association with the information indicating the service, the user can uniquely recognize which service the stamp is provided by.

Further, the terminal 20 may display information indicating that the second stamp of the second messaging service can be used on the first messaging service when the terminal 20 logs in to the second messaging service. Thereby, the user can recognize that the second stamp of the different second messaging service can be used on the first messaging service while using the first messaging service.

Further, the list display of the thumbnail images of the second stamp of the second messaging service may be executed by using the terminal 20 as a trigger when the user logs in to the second messaging service. Further, this login may be one that can be logged in from the first messaging application. As a result, the user can use the second stamp by using the terminal 20 without inputting the list request of the second stamp.

The terminal 20 receives the second stamp from the first server 40 by transmitting the second stamp list request from the terminal 20 to the first server 40, and the second messaging service on the first messaging service. A second stamp can be used.

Further, the first messaging service and the second messaging service may be services that realize the exchange of contents between users. This makes it possible to promote communication between users who enjoy the service.

Further, the first messaging service and the second messaging service may be operated by different companies. That is, the stamp can be shared and used between different companies.

Further, the first messaging service is executed by the first messaging application, the second messaging service is executed by the second messaging application, and both applications are different applications from each other. That is, although the first messaging application is an application different from the second messaging application, the second stamp that can be used in the second messaging application can be used.

<Embodiment 1 Modification 1>
In the first embodiment, the example in which the first server 40 can use all the stamps of the second server 10 without limitation has been described. In the present modification 1, an example in which the first server 40 uses only a part of the stamps of the second server 10 instead of all the stamps will be described.

In the sequence diagram shown in FIG. 5 of the first embodiment, the second server 10 transmits all of its own second stamp library to the first server 40, but in the first modification, the second server 10 is used. , An example of transmitting only a part of the second stamp library will be described.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the second server 10 in the present modification 1 at the time of processing in step S501 of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 14, the control unit 11 of the second server 10 determines whether or not a predetermined timing for transmitting the second stamp to the first server 40 has arrived (step S1401). The predetermined timing can be arbitrarily set by the operator of the second server 10, and may or may not be determined by an agreement with the operator of the first server 40. Further, the predetermined timing may be a predetermined timing within a predetermined period (one day, one lap, one month as an example, not a limitation) as an example, not a limitation, or the second stamp of the previous time. It may be the timing when a certain period of time has passed since the message was sent, or it may be a random timing other than that.

If the predetermined timing has not arrived (NO in step S1401), the control unit 11 waits. On the other hand, when a predetermined timing has arrived (YES in step S1401), the determination unit 112 of the control unit 11 determines the second stamp to be transmitted to the first server 40 (step S1402). The determination unit 112 may or may not determine the second stamp in the second stamp library according to an instruction from the operator of the second server 10 as an example and not a limitation. Alternatively, the determination unit 112 may or may not determine the second stamp to be transmitted according to a predetermined algorithm, which is not limited to the limitation. Further, when the second stamp to be transmitted is determined by a predetermined schedule, the determination unit 112 may or may not determine the second stamp to be transmitted according to the schedule. ..

The notification unit 113 of the control unit 11 transmits the second stamp determined by the determination unit 112 to the first server 40 via the communication I / F 14 (step S1403).

In this way, the first server 40 can use some second stamps instead of all the second stamps.

The sequence diagram of FIG. 5 shows a case where the process of step S501 is performed once, but when the flowchart of FIG. 14 is followed, the process of step S501 occurs at predetermined timings, and the first server 40 Stores the second stamp sent each time in the storage unit 45, and deletes the previously held second stamp from the storage unit 45.

In the process of FIG. 14, the second server 10 periodically transmits a part of the second stamp to the first server 40, which means that the first server 40 sends the second stamp to the second server 10. In response to the request for the second stamp that can be used in the first messaging service, the second server 10 may determine the second stamp that can be used and transmit it to the first server 40.

<Display example>
FIG. 15 is a screen view for explaining a display example of the second stamp in the modified example 1. FIG. 15A shows an example in which the second server 10 transmits all the stamp information to the first server 40.

As shown in FIG. 15A, when the first server 40 can use all the second stamps of the second server 10, the user terminal 20 accepts the request to use the stamp of the second server 10. In this case, each representative stamp of the second stamp library is displayed in the area 822 in association with the second service tab 821, and the stamp group included in the selected representative stamp is displayed in the area 823.

On the other hand, in the present modification 1, the second server 10 transmits only the information of a part of the stamps to the first server 40.

As an example, not a limitation, in the example of FIG. 15 (b), as shown in the area 822, the number of representative stamps displayed is smaller than that shown in FIG. 15 (a). Therefore, it can be understood that the second stamp of the second server 10 that can be used by the first server 40 is reduced. Specifically, assuming that FIG. 15A is an embodiment in which all the second stamps that can be used in the second messaging service can be used, as shown in the region 822 from FIG. 15A, "2". It can be understood that the stamp group represented by "-1" to "2-5" can be used, and eight stamps including the stamps 8231 and 8232 can be used in the area 823. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 15B, the second server 10 limits the stamps that can be used by the first server 40 by reducing the number of stamp groups that can be used by the first server 40. It may or may not be the case. Looking at the area 822 of FIG. 15 (b), since the stamp groups 8221 and 8222 are not displayed as compared with the case shown in FIG. 15 (a), the stamps that can be used are limited. Understandable. Further, in the example of FIG. 15C, as shown in the area 823, the number of stamps in the stamp group may be reduced to limit the stamps that can be used by the first server 40. You don't have to. In FIG. 15 (c), since the stamps 8231 and 8232 are not displayed as compared with the state shown in FIG. 15 (a), those stamps cannot be used, and the stamps that can be used are limited. Can be understood. Further, the method for limiting the stamps that can be used may be a combination of FIGS. 15 (b) and 15 (c). In addition, although an example of simply reducing the number is shown here, various color variations can be used on the second messaging service as stamps that can be used on the first messaging service. Therefore, the color variation of the stamp that can be used in the first messaging service may be limited. Also, some stamps have an effect effect that operates like a short video, but the effect effect is displayed on the second messaging service, but the effect effect is not displayed on the first messaging service. By setting it as an embodiment, the use of the second stamp on the first messaging service may be restricted.

Further, here, the second stamp once transmitted can be used many times or for many days until the next predetermined timing arrives, but the second server 10 is on the first messaging service. The user of the first messaging service may set the number of times the second stamp can be used and the number of days available, and in that case, if the number of times available or the number of days available is exceeded, the second stamp is transmitted. The second stamp may be automatically deleted from the storage unit 45 of the first server 40, or may be encrypted.

For example, in the case of the number of times, when the second stamp is transmitted to the first server 40, the second server 10 transmits the second stamp to the first server 40 in association with the maximum number of times the stamp has been used. The first server 40 counts the number of times of use for each user for each second stamp. Then, when the counted number of times reaches the associated upper limit usage number, the control unit 41 of the first server 40 subsequently receives a stamp ID requesting the use of the stamp from the terminal 20. However, the stamp image may not be transmitted to the terminal 20. If it cannot be used, information indicating that the usable upper limit has been reached is transmitted to the terminal 20 requesting the use of the stamp, and the terminal 20 receives the information and cannot use the stamp. The information to be shown may be displayed. This number of uses may be set for each user or for each server.

Further, in the case of the number of days, when the second server 10 transmits the second stamp to the first server 40, the second stamp is deleted from the memory when the set number of days has elapsed. Alternatively, the encrypted program may be transmitted with the second stamp.

<Effect of Modification 1>
By limiting the second stamp transmitted by the second server 10 to the first server 40 in advance, the user using the first messaging service can use another server 10 provided by the second server 10. You can get interested in stamps and promote the use of the second messaging service. Further, since the stamps of the second server 10 that can be used by the first server 40 can be switched at a predetermined timing, the user who uses the first messaging service can experience and use various second stamps.

Further, the second server 10 may set the number of times and the number of days that can be used for the stamp provided to the first messaging service of the first server 40, and in that case, if the number of times and the number of days are exceeded, the number of times and the number of days may be exceeded. The second stamp may be set so that it cannot be used. As a result, it is possible to prevent the user who uses the first messaging service from using the stamp indefinitely, and to promote the use of the second messaging service by the user who wants to use the stamp.

Further, the second stamp provided by the second server 10 to the first messaging service may be expressed differently from the case where it is used on the second messaging service, and specifically, the number of usable stamps is limited. , Color variations may be limited, and display effects may be limited. This makes it possible to attract a user who is dissatisfied with the expression of the second stamp on the first messaging service to the second messaging service.

<Embodiment 1 Modification 2>
In the first modification, the mode in which the first server 40 limits the second stamp that can be used on the first messaging service by limiting the second stamp that the second server 10 passes to the first server 40 will be described. bottom. In the second modification, an example of limiting the second stamp that can be used by the first server 40 by another method will be described. Specifically, the second server 10 transmits all the information of the second stamp to the first server 40, but transmits the information in an encrypted state. Then, by transmitting the decryption key for decoding the stamp that can be used from the second server 10 to the first server 40, the second stamp that can be used by the first server 40 is limited. Hereinafter, it will be described in detail.

FIG. 16 is a sequence diagram showing an example of interaction between the first server 40 and the second server 10 in the second modification.

As shown in FIG. 16, the second server 10 transmits all the encrypted stamp information (encrypted second stamp library) to the first server 40 (step S1601).

The first server 40 stores the received second stamp library in the storage unit 45 in an encrypted state (step S1602).

The first server 40 transmits the SNS ID to the second server 10 at a predetermined timing in order to request a decryption key for decrypting a part of the encrypted second stamp library (step S1603). ). The predetermined timing can be arbitrarily set by the operator of the first server 40, and may or may not be determined by an agreement with the operator of the second server 10. Further, the predetermined timing may be a predetermined timing within a predetermined period (one day, one lap, one month as an example, not a limitation) as an example, not a limitation, or the second stamp of the previous time. It may be the timing when a certain period of time has passed since the message was sent, or it may be a random timing other than that. Further, the SNSID is identification information capable of uniquely identifying each server that provides a messaging service such as the first server 40 and the second server 10.

When the second server 10 receives the SNSID of the first server 40 requesting the release key of the second stamp, the second server 10 generates a release key (decryption key) corresponding to the SNSID (step S1604). The second server 10 transmits the generated release key to the first server 40 (step S1605).

The first server 40 uses the received release key to decode the corresponding stamp (step S1606). As a result, the first server 40 can use the decrypted stamp (a stamp of a part of the second stamp).

FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the second server 10 for realizing the exchange shown in FIG.

The control unit 11 of the second server 10 transmits all the stamp information (encrypted second stamp library) encrypted to the first server 40 via the communication I / F 14 (step S1701).

When the control unit 11 of the second server 10 receives the SNSID of the first server 40 from the first server 40 via the communication I / F 14 (YES in step S1702), the control unit 11 of the control unit 11 determines. 112 determines a stamp that can be used by the first server 40 based on the received SNSID (step S1703). The stamp determined here is basically a part of all the second stamps, but may be all.

Based on the stamps determined by the determination unit 112, the notification unit 114 generates a release key (decoding key) for releasing those stamps (step S1704). Here, the release key is for the first server 40 to make a part or all of the second stamp available, and is encrypted and stored in the storage unit 45 of the first server 40. 2 This is for decrypting the stamp. Here, the release key does not have to be a decryption key for decryption as long as it is information that can make the second stamp available to the first server 40, and is not limited to a password as an example. It may or may not be. The notification unit 114 transmits the generated release key to the first server 40 via the communication I / F14.

If the control unit 11 of the second server 10 has not received the SNSID of the first server 40 from the first server 40 via the communication I / F 14 (NO in step S1702), the control unit 11 waits.

On the other hand, FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the first server 40 for realizing the exchange shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 18, the communication I / F 14 of the first server 40 receives all the encrypted stamp information from the second server 10 (step S1801). The communication I / F 14 transmits the received encrypted second stamp library to the control unit 41. Then, the control unit 41 stores the second stamp library in the storage unit 45 in an encrypted state (step S1802).

The control unit 41 of the first server 40 determines whether or not a predetermined timing for transmitting the SNS ID for requesting the release key of the second stamp from the second server 10 has arrived (step S1803). The predetermined timing can be arbitrarily set by the operator of the first server 40, and may or may not be determined by an agreement with the operator of the second server 10. Further, the predetermined timing may be a predetermined timing within a predetermined period (one day, one lap, one month as an example, not a limitation) as an example, not a limitation, or the second stamp of the previous time. It may be the timing when a certain period of time has passed since the message was sent, or it may be a random timing other than that.

If the predetermined timing has not arrived (NO in step S1803), the control unit 41 stands by. On the other hand, when a predetermined timing has arrived (YES in step S1803), the stamp processing unit 412 of the control unit 41 sends the SNSD of the first server 40 to the second server 10 via the communication I / F44. Transmit (step S1804).

The control unit 41 determines whether or not the release key has been received from the second server 10 via the communication I / F 44 (step S1805). When the control unit 41 has received the release key for decrypting the second stamp (YES in step S1805), the control unit 41 uses the received release key to display all the stamps of the second server 10. A part of them is decoded (step S1806), and the process returns to step S1803. If the release key has not been received from the second server 10 (NO in step S1805), the control unit 41 waits until the release key is received.

<Effect of variant 2>
The second server 10 encrypts the second stamp to be transmitted to the first server 40, and transmits a release key capable of partially releasing the second stamp, that is, restricting the use of the second stamp. By canceling it, the user using the first messaging service can be interested in other stamps provided by the second server 10 and promote the use of the second messaging service. Further, by changing the second stamp to be released by the release key, the stamp of the second server 10 that can be used by the first server 40 can be switched at a predetermined timing, so that the first messaging service is used. It is possible to have the user experience and use various second stamps. Further, since the information transmitted by the second server 10 at a predetermined timing serves as a release key, the amount of data at the time of transmission is suppressed rather than the information of the stamp that can be used as in the case of the modification 1. Can be done.

<Embodiment 1 Modification 3>
In the first embodiment and the first and second embodiments, the user of the terminal 20 on the first messaging service is the second of the second server 10 regardless of whether the second messaging service of the second server 10 is used. I explained an example where stamps can be used. In the third modification, a modification of changing the stamp that can be used will be described when the user of the terminal 20 on the first messaging service also uses the second messaging service.

FIG. 19 is a sequence diagram showing an example of interaction between each device according to the modified example 3.

In the process shown in FIG. 19, the process up to step S503 is the same as the sequence shown in FIG. 5, so the description of the process will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 19, when the terminal 20 receives the display request of the second stamp list from the user, the terminal 20 is the user ID of the user of the terminal 20 in the second messaging service provided by the second server 10. , The request for the second stamp list is transmitted to the first server 40 (step S1904).

When the first server 40 receives the request for the second stamp list from the terminal 20 and the user ID of the user of the terminal 20 in the second server 10, the second server 10 may be used by the user of the terminal 20. In order to inquire about possible stamps, a user ID of the received user and a request for information on the stamps that can be used by the user indicated by the user ID are transmitted (stamp S1905).

When the second server 10 receives the user ID in the second messaging service from the first server 40, the second server 10 identifies a usable stamp ID associated with the user ID in the user information 310 (step S1906). The second server 10 transmits the stamp ID to the first server 40 as the information of the specified stamp (step S1907).

The first server 40 transmits the information of the stamp list that can be used by the user of the terminal 20 to the terminal 20 based on the stamp ID received from the second server 10 (step S1908).

Then, the terminal 20 displays a list of stamps corresponding to the user of the terminal 20 (step S1909).

FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the terminal 20 for realizing the exchange shown in FIG. In the operation example shown in FIG. 20, step S2002 and step S602 are different from the operation of the terminal shown in FIG.

In step S2002, the control unit 21 of the terminal 20 sets the user ID when the terminal 20 uses the second messaging service of the second server 10 as the first server, in addition to the request for listing the second stamp of the second server 10. It is transmitted to 40 (step S2002).

In response to this, a list of the second stamps transmitted from the first server 40 will be displayed (step S604), although the processing content itself is the same as the processing of step S604 shown in FIG. 6, but the result. The list of the second stamps displayed on the terminal 20 as is unique to the user of the terminal 20.

FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the first server 40 for realizing the exchange shown in FIG.

Since the flowchart shown in FIG. 21 is common to the flowchart shown in FIG. 7 up to the process of step S702, the description up to that point will be omitted.

In step S2103, when the control unit 41 receives the user ID of the second server 10 and the second stamp list request of the second server 10 from the terminal 20 via the communication I / F 44 (step). YES in S2103), the stamp processing unit 412 transmits a stamp ID request that can be used by the user corresponding to the user ID to the second server 10 together with the received user ID via the communication I / F 44 (step S2104). ).

When the control unit 41 receives the stamp ID of the stamp that can be used by the user of the terminal 20 from the second server 10 via the communication I / F 44 (YES in step S2105), the control unit 41 is based on the received stamp ID. The list information of the second stamps that can be used by the user of the terminal 20 is generated based on the second stamp library stored in the storage unit 45. Then, the display information for displaying the list of the generated second stamps is transmitted to the terminal 20 via the communication I / F44 (step S2106), and the process returns to the process of step S2103. The control unit 41 waits until the stamp ID of the stamp that can be used by the user of the terminal is received from the second server 10 (NO in step S2103).

FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the second server 10 for realizing the exchange shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 22, the control unit 11 of the second server 10 determines whether the user ID and the second stamp list request are received from the first server 40 via the communication I / F 14 (step). S2201). If it has not been received (NO in step S2201), it waits. When receiving (YES in step S2201), the determination unit 112 of the control unit 11 specifies the stamp corresponding to the user ID using the user information 310 (step S2202).

The control unit 11 transmits the stamp ID indicating the specified stamp to the first server 40 via the communication I / F 14 (step S2203), and returns to the process of step S2201.

In this way, the terminal 20 can use the stamp used by the user when using the second messaging service on the first messaging service.

<Effect of variant 3>
According to the third modification, when the user of the terminal 20 uses the first messaging service of the first server 40, the second stamp is the same as the environment in which the second messaging service of the second server 10 is used. Can be used. Specifically, the terminal 20 transmits a list request for the second stamp (an example of the first request, not a limitation) and a user ID to the first server 40. Then, the first server 40 transmits the user ID of the terminal 20 and the information request of the second stamp that can be used by the user indicated by the user ID (example of the second request, not the limitation) to the second server 10. Get information on available stamps. Then, the first server 40 can transmit the information of the second stamp that can be used to the terminal 20.

<Embodiment 1 Modification Example 4>
In the third modification, an example of specifying a stamp of the second server 10 that can be used on the first messaging service according to the user of the terminal 20 and making it usable has been described. In the present modification 4, an example of changing the stamp that can be used according to the first server 40 instead of the user of the terminal 20 will be described. That is, when a plurality of different messaging services (first server 40) exist, an example of different stamps that can be used by the first server 40 will be described. Further, in the present modification 4, the first server 40 does not receive the second stamp library from the second server 10.

FIG. 23 is a sequence diagram showing an example of interaction between each device in the modified example 4.

Since the exchange shown in FIG. 23 is common to the exchange shown in FIG. 5 and the process of step S504, the description of the process up to that point will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 23, when the first server 40 receives the request of the second stamp list from the terminal 20, the SNS ID of the first server 40 for indicating the use of the first server 40 on the first messaging service. And the stamp list request are transmitted to the second server 10 (step S2305).

When the second server 10 receives the SNSID of the first server 40 and the request of the second stamp list from the first server 40, the second server 10 identifies the stamps that can be used on the first messaging service of the first server 40 based on the SNSID. (Step S2306). Then, the second server 10 transmits a stamp list image to be displayed as a stamp list to the first server 40 based on the specified stamp (step S2307).

When the first server 40 receives the second stamp list from the second server 10, it transmits it to the terminal 20 (step S2308).

Then, the terminal 20 receives the second stamp list transmitted from the first server 40 and displays it on the first messaging application (step S2309).

FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the first server 40 for realizing the exchange shown in FIG. 23.

As shown in FIG. 24, the control unit 41 determines whether or not the second stamp list request is received from the terminal 20 via the communication I / F 44 (step S2401). If it has not been received (NO in step S2401), it waits.

When the second stamp list request is received from the terminal 20 (YES in step S2401), the first server 40 does not hold the second stamp library of the second server 10, so that the control unit 41 controls the SNS ID. And, the stamp list request for requesting the stamp list is transmitted to the second server 10 via the communication I / F 44 (step S2402).

Then, the control unit 41 waits until the stamp list display information is received from the second server 10 via the communication I / F 44 (NO in step S2403). When the display information for displaying the stamp list of the available second stamps is received from the second server 10 (YES in step S2403), the control unit 41 controls the terminal 20 via the communication I / F 44. The display information of the stamp list received is transmitted (step S2404), and the process returns to the process of step S2401. As a result, on the terminal 20, the list of available stamps of the second server 10 is displayed on the first messaging application. On the terminal 20, by touching the stamp to be used from the displayed stamp list, the second stamp of the second server 10 can be used on the room of the first messaging application.

FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the second server 10 for realizing the exchange shown in FIG. 23.

The process shown in FIG. 25 is almost the same as the process shown in FIG. 22, but in the process shown in FIG. 22, the stamp ID corresponding to the user ID is specified, whereas in the process shown in FIG. 1 The stamp ID is specified based on the SNSID of the server 40.

As shown in FIG. 25, the control unit 11 of the second server 10 determines whether the SNSID and the second stamp list request are received from the first server 40 via the communication I / F 14 (step S2501). ). If it has not been received (NO in step S2501), it waits. When receiving (YES in step S2501), the determination unit 112 of the control unit 11 identifies the stamp corresponding to the SNS ID (step S2502). Although not shown, the determination unit 112 holds SNS information in the same manner as the user information 310, and stores a usable stamp ID in association with each messaging service to store a stamp corresponding to the SNS ID. It may be specified.

The control unit 11 transmits the stamp ID indicating the specified stamp to the first server 40 via the communication I / F 14 (step S2503), and returns to the process of step S2501.

In this way, the terminal 20 can use the stamp used by the user when using the second messaging service on the first messaging service.

FIG. 26 is a process following the sequence diagram shown in FIG. 23, and is a sequence diagram showing an example of exchange between each device when the second stamp is used on the first messaging service.

As shown in FIG. 26, the user of the terminal 20 accepts the designation of the stamp to be used from the list of the second stamps displayed on the terminal 20 (step S2601). The terminal 20 transmits the stamp ID of the designated stamp to the first server 40 (step S2602).

When the first server 40 receives the stamp ID of the stamp provided by the second server 10 from the terminal 20, the first server 40 transmits the stamp ID to the second server 10 (step S2603).

<Effect of variant 4>
The second server 10 receives the SNSD of the first server 40 (an example of the second identification information, not the limitation), and provides a second stamp according to the received SNSID. The second server 10 can encourage the user to use various or favorite messaging services by changing the second stamp that can be used on the messaging service for each messaging service, and all of them. It is possible to promote the use of the second messaging service of the second server 10 that can use the second stamp by many users. Further, the second server 10 can realize the use of the second stamp on the first messaging service without passing the second stamp library as the stamp information held by itself to the first server 40. can.

<Embodiment 1 Modification 5>
In the above modification 4, the first server 40 does not hold the second stamp library, and the user of the terminal 20 displays a list of stamps that can be used on the first messaging service based on the SNSID. explained. This modification 5 is almost the same as the modification 4, but the information transmitted from the first server 40 to the second server 10 in order to specify the stamp list is not the SNSID but the terminal 20 in the second server 10. The difference is that it is the user ID of the user. This will be described below.

FIG. 29 is a sequence diagram showing the exchange of each device according to the modified example 5.

The terminal 20 transmits the request for the second stamp list and the user ID of the user of the terminal 20 in the second messaging service of the second server 10 to the first server 40 (step S2904).

When the first server 40 receives the user ID of the user of the terminal 20 in the second messaging service and the stamp list request from the terminal 20, the received user ID and the stamp list request are sent to the second server 10. Transmit (step S2905).

The second server 10 authenticates the received login information (step S4504). Here, it is assumed that the authentication is successful. Then, the second server 10 transmits the information regarding the stamp ID (step S4505). Here, as for the information regarding the stamp ID transmitted by the second server 10, the user of the second terminal 20b holds the stamp indicated by the stamp ID (in the user information 310, the stamp ID is associated with the user. If so, it is a list of stamps (a list of thumbnail images of stamps). When the user of the second terminal 20b does not hold the stamp indicated by the stamp ID, the information regarding the stamp ID becomes the display information on the stamp purchase screen.

The second terminal 20b displays information about the stamp received from the second server 10 (step S4506).

FIG. 46 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the second terminal 20b for realizing the exchange shown in FIG. 45.

As shown in FIG. 46, the display processing unit 212 of the second terminal 20b displays the login screen of the second messaging service on the display unit 24 (step S4205). The control unit 21 determines whether or not the input of the login information has been accepted via the input / output unit 23 (step S4601). If the input of login information is not accepted (NO in step S4601), the process ends. Here, the login information may include a user ID for uniquely identifying the user and a password. Further, the user ID may be an e-mail address.

When the input of the login information is received from the user (YES in step S4601), the control unit 21 transmits the login information received to the second server 10 via the communication I / F 22 (step S4602). The control unit 21 determines whether the user has logged in (step S4603). Wait until you log in (NO in step S4603).

If the user has successfully logged in (YES in step S4603) and does not hold the touched stamp (YES in step S4604), the control unit 21 of the second terminal 20b has been transmitted from the second server 10. The purchase screen of the touched stamp is displayed (step S4605). When the stamp touched by the user is held (NO in step S4604), the control unit 21 causes the display unit 24 to display a stamp list including the touched stamp (step S4606), and ends the process. The authentication process for logging in to the second server 10 may be the same as the general authentication process, and the user identification information and password of the second terminal 20b transmitted from the second terminal 20b are used as an example without limitation. The login information including the login information is received, and authentication is performed depending on whether or not the combination of the user identification information and the password indicated by the received login information is stored in the storage unit 15 of the second server 10. When the combination of the received identification information of the login information and the password is stored in the storage unit 15 of the second server 10, the authentication is successful and the login is possible. If the combination of the received login information identification information and the password is not stored in the storage unit 15 of the second server 10, authentication fails and login is not possible.

Next, a processing example after the stamp purchase screen is displayed on the second terminal 20b (processing in step S4605) will be described. FIG. 47 is a sequence diagram showing an example of an exchange between the second terminal 20b and the second server 10 after the stamp purchase screen is displayed on the second terminal 20b.

As shown in FIG. 47, the second terminal 20b displays the purchase screen of the stamp touched in step S4207 (or YES in S4301) (step S4701). The second terminal 20 accepts the purchase of the stamp from the user (step S4702). The second terminal 20b transmits the stamp purchase information to the second server 10 (step S4703). The stamp purchase information includes a stamp ID that can identify the purchased stamp and information on a user who can use the stamp. Here, it is assumed that the user information of the second terminal 20b is included.

The second server 10 associates the stamp ID with the information of the user who can use the purchased stamp (step S4704). Then, a list of thumbnail images of the purchased stamps is transmitted to the second terminal 20b (step S4705).

The second terminal 20b displays a list of purchased stamps (step S4706).

FIG. 48 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the second terminal 20b for realizing the exchange shown in FIG. 47. As shown in FIG. 48, the control unit 21 of the second terminal 20b causes the display unit 24 to display the stamp purchase screen (step S4801). The control unit 21 determines whether or not the purchase input of the stamp has been accepted from the user via the input / output unit 23 (step S4802). If the stamp purchase input is not accepted (NO in step S4802), the process ends.

When the purchase input of the stamp is received from the user (YES in step S4802), the control unit 21 determines whether or not the purchase is for itself based on the input from the user to the input / output unit 23 (step S4803). In the case of purchase to the user himself (YES in step S4803), the control unit 21 transmits the purchase information of the stamp including the user ID of the user to the second server 10 via the communication I / F 22 (YES in step S4803). Step S4804). Then, the control unit 21 waits until the list of thumbnail images of the purchased stamps is received via the communication I / F 22 (NO in step S4805). When a list of stamp thumbnail images transmitted from the second server 10 is received via the communication I / F 22 (YES in step S4805), the control unit 21 displays the list of stamp thumbnail images received by the display unit 24. It is displayed (step S4806), and the process is terminated.

On the other hand, in step S4803, when the stamp is purchased not from itself but from another user (NO in step S4803), the user ID of the other user specified by the user is transmitted via the input / output unit 23. The purchase information of the stamp including the stamp is transmitted to the second server 10 via the communication I / F 22 (step S4807), and the process is terminated.

FIG. 49 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the second server 10 for realizing the exchange shown in FIG. 47.

As shown in FIG. 49, the control unit 11 of the second server 10 determines whether or not the stamp purchase information is received via the communication I / F 14 (step S4901). If it has not been received (NO in step S4901), it waits.

When the stamp purchase information is received (YES in step S4901), the control unit 11 associates the purchased stamp with the user ID and stores it in the user information 310 (step S4902). Then, the list of the thumbnail images of the purchased stamps is transmitted to the terminal 20 of the user corresponding to the user ID of the stamp purchase target via the communication I / F 14 (step S4903), and the process returns to step S4901.

FIG. 50 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed in the process of the process shown in FIG. 48. FIG. 50A is a screen view showing an example of a stamp purchase screen, and is an example of a screen displayed by the processing of steps S4701 and S4801. As shown in FIG. 50 (a), on the stamp purchase screen, a "purchase" button for purchasing the stamp for itself and a "gift" button for presenting the stamp to another user are displayed. ..

When the "Purchase" button shown in FIG. 50 (a) is touched, the stamp is purchased for the user of the terminal 20 himself, and as shown in FIG. 50 (b), the stamp list is displayed on the terminal 20. Download The download screen is displayed. After this, the terminal 20 can use the stamp purchased by the second server 10. On the other hand, when the "gift" button shown in FIG. 50 (a) is touched, a user list screen for selecting a user to be presented is displayed as shown in FIG. 50 (c). Here, in the user list displayed, the user who is a friend (set as a communication partner) in the second messaging service of the second server 10 may be displayed, or the user of the first server 40 may be displayed. In the first messaging service, users who are friends may be displayed, or both users may be displayed. Further, the list of users displayed at this time may or may not be displayed in an order according to the frequency of communication with the user in the past. That is, the higher the frequency of communication, the higher the display may be. Then, when one or more users are selected from the displayed user list and transmitted, a screen showing that the stamp is presented to the selected user is displayed as shown in FIG. 50 (d).

The above is the terminal that has executed the exchange by the first messaging service, and the terminal 20 that has received the second stamp of the second server 10 and has received and displayed the stamp. This is an explanation of an operation example.

<Effect of Embodiment 2>
According to the terminal 20 according to the second embodiment, when the second stamp of the second messaging service is displayed in the room on the first messaging service and the input for the displayed second stamp is accepted, the user of the terminal 20 May display a login screen for logging in to the second messaging service when the user is using the second messaging service.
As a result, the user of the terminal 20 can be guided to the second messaging service.

Further, when the terminal 20 logs in to the second messaging service, if the input second stamp can be used on the second messaging service, the terminal 20 may display the corresponding stamp list. If it is not available, you will be guided to the download screen (purchase screen) to enable it.
As a result, the terminal 20 can make the second stamp touched by the user available to the user on the first messaging service.

Further, as an example, not limited to, when the terminal 20 purchases (downloads) the displayed second stamp on the displayed download screen (purchase screen), the terminal 20 transmits the information to the second server 10. You can do it. As a result, the second server 10 can associate the user of the terminal 20 with the purchased second stamp and register it in the user information 310.
As a result, the user can subsequently use the second stamp in either the first messaging service or the second messaging service purchased (downloaded).

Further, when the terminal 20 accepts the input for the second stamp and the user of the terminal 20 does not use the second messaging service, the terminal 20 displays the download screen of the second messaging application of the second messaging service. Good as it is.
This makes it possible to encourage the user of the terminal 20 to use the second messaging service.

Further, when the second messaging application is installed, the terminal 20 may display the second stamp in a usable state on the first messaging application.
As a result, the user of the terminal 20 can use the second stamp on the first messaging service triggered by the installation of the second messaging application.

<Embodiment 3>
In the first embodiment, the method of determining the stamp that can be used on the messaging service of the first server 40 among the stamps of the second server 10 will be described with reference to a determination example by the operator of the second server 10 and a determination example by the schedule. There is. In the third embodiment, another example of the determination method will be described.

In the first embodiment, an example in which the second stamp of the second server 10 that can be used by the user who uses the first messaging service is different depending on the user ID or SNS ID has been described. Here, an example of varying the available stamps depending on the user's score will be further described. The score referred to here is an evaluation of a user used by the second server 10 to determine a second stamp that can be used on the first messaging service. The score may or may not be calculated based on the usage status of the second messaging service of the second server 10. Further, the score may or may not be calculated based on the usage status of the first messaging service of the first server 40. Further, the score may or may not be calculated based on both the usage status of the first messaging service of the first server 40 and the messaging service of the second server 10. Further, the usage status referred to here may or may not be the usage status of the stamp used on the messaging service (not limited, but as an example, the number of times of use and the frequency of use). As described above, the score is calculated based on how much the second server 10 uses the second messaging service or the second stamp, so that the second server 10 gives it to the user. It may or may not be called a credit score because of the degree of credit.

FIG. 51 is an example of information held in the storage unit 15 by the second server 10 for this processing. FIG. 51 is a data conceptual diagram showing a data configuration example of the user information 5100. The user information 5100 is information indicating the usage history of the user who uses the first messaging service and the second messaging service.

As shown in FIG. 51, the user information 5100 is information in which the usage history 5102 is associated with the user ID 5101.

The user ID 5101 is identification information for uniquely identifying each user in the second messaging service. The user ID 5101 may or may not be shared with the user ID in the first messaging service. If the user is not using the second messaging service, the user ID of the first messaging service may be registered as the user ID 5101.

The usage history 5102 is information related to the stamp used by the user indicated by the corresponding user ID 5101. The usage history 5102 is information in which the date and time of use 5121, the service 5122, and the stamp ID 5123 are associated with each other.

The date and time of use 5121 is information indicating the date and time when the corresponding stamp ID 5123 was used.

Service 5122 is information indicating the messaging service that the user was using when the corresponding stamp ID 5123 was used.

The stamp ID 5123 is identification information that can uniquely identify the stamp used by the user represented by the corresponding user ID 5101 at the corresponding usage date and time 5121.

With the user information 5100, the second server 10 can recognize which user used which messaging service and which stamp, and can be used for score calculation.

FIG. 52 is a second server showing a method of determining a stamp that can be used by a user when the second server 10 receives a request for using the stamp of the second server 10 from a user who uses the first messaging service. It is a flowchart which shows the operation example of 10.

As shown in FIG. 52, when the control unit 21 of the second server 10 receives the user information via the communication I / F 22 (YES in step S5201), the control unit 21 is a storage unit based on the received user information. The user information 5100 stored in 28 is updated (step S5202). Here, the received user information includes a user ID, an SNS ID of the messaging service as information capable of specifying the messaging service used, and a stamp ID as information capable of specifying the stamp used. And are included. By assigning a unique ID to each messaging service as the stamp ID, it is possible to specify which messaging service is being used. In that case, the SNS ID can be omitted.

When the user information is not received (NO in step S5201), the control unit 21 determines whether or not the request for the stamp list has been received (step S5203). The request for the stamp list may be transmitted from the first server 40 or transmitted from the terminal 20, and includes a user ID that can identify the user of the terminal 20.

When the request for the stamp list is received (YES in step S5203), the control unit 21 acquires the usage history of the user corresponding to the user ID from the user information 5100 (step S5203).

Then, based on the user's usage history, a score for determining the second stamp of the second server 10 that can be used on the first messaging service is calculated for the user (step S5205). There may be various methods for calculating the score by the control unit 21, but basically, the person who uses the second messaging service and uses the second stamp uses the first messaging service and is the first. The score is calculated so that the score is higher than when the 1st stamp or the 2nd stamp is used. As an example, not a limitation, 1 point when the 1st stamp is used on the 1st messaging service, 2 points when the 2nd stamp is used on the 1st messaging service, 2nd on the 2nd messaging service. When the stamp is used, the points when the stamp is used are totaled and calculated as the user's score as 3 points based on the usage history in a predetermined period (not limited to the latest one month as an example).

Then, the control unit 21 generates a stamp list that can be used by the user of the terminal 20 on the first messaging service according to the calculated score (step S5206). The stamp that can be used based on the calculated score is not limited, but as an example, the control unit 21 sets a plurality of threshold values stepwise for the calculated score, and each time the score exceeds the threshold value. The stamps that can be used may be determined so that the number of stamps that can be used increases. As an example, but not a limitation, 20% of all stamps that the user represented by the user ID can use in the second messaging service if the score exceeds the first threshold is enabled, and the second threshold (second threshold). 40% is enabled if the threshold> the first threshold) is exceeded, 60% is enabled if the third threshold (third threshold> the second threshold) is exceeded, and so on. Determine the stamps that can be used. The stamps that can be used here may be random, may be determined by a predetermined algorithm, or may be determined for each stamp group. At this time, if the first server 40 holds the information of the second stamp, a list of stamp IDs is generated, and if it does not hold the information, the image information for display is generated.

Then, the control unit 21 transmits the generated stamp list to the device (first server 40 or terminal 20) that has transmitted the stamp list request via the communication I / F 22 (step S5207), and ends the process. ..

The process shown in FIG. 52 may or may not be executed every time the user requests the use of the stamp on the first messaging service. If it is not executed each time, it may be executed only once in a predetermined period (as an example, not limited to once an hour, once a day, once a week, once a month). .. Further, in the process shown in FIG. 52, the user's score is calculated in advance at a predetermined timing (not limited, but as an example, every morning at 5 o'clock) instead of the timing when the user makes an inquiry, and when there is a stamp request. Information on the stamp to be sent may be prepared.

In the third embodiment, an example of calculating the score based on the usage history of the stamp and when the stamp is used when the first messaging service or the second messaging service is used is shown. The calculation method is not limited to this.

The score may or may not be calculated based on the usage time (login time) of the first messaging service or the second messaging service. As an example, not a limitation, the score is such that the larger the total of the usage time of the first messaging service and the usage time of the second messaging service within a predetermined period (one month as an example, not the limitation), the higher the score. May be calculated. Further, when the second messaging service is used, the control unit 11 of the second server 10 may or may not weight the total usage time of the second messaging service. By performing weighting, as an example, not limited to, when the stamp of the second server 10 is used when the second messaging service of the second server 10 is used, the second message service is used when the first server 40 is used. It may be calculated so that the score is higher than when the stamp of the server 10 is used. By doing so, if the stamp is used by frequently using the second messaging service, the range of use of the second stamp when using the first messaging service can be widened, so that the usage rate of the second messaging service can be widened. Can be improved. Further, the control unit 21 may calculate the score only based on the usage history of the second server 10. That is, it can be said that the larger the usage history of the second server 10, the higher the usage rate of the second server 10 of the user, and as a result, the higher the contribution to the second server. Users can be rewarded by increasing the number of stamps that can be used in messaging services as well.

As the score, the total usage time itself may or may not be used. Further, the score may or may not be calculated by storing the correspondence table for calculating the score for the total time in the storage unit 15 of the second server 10. Here, the correspondence table may be a table in which the score increases at predetermined time intervals, and is not limited, but as an example, 0 to 5 hours is 1 point, 6 to 10 hours is 2 points, and 11 to 20. The time may be a table in which the score can be specified based on the total usage time, such as 4 points, and so on. Further, the usage time may be a count of the time when the user is logged in to the messaging service.

Then, the control unit 11 may determine the stamp that can be used by the user according to the calculated score.

<Effect of Embodiment 3>
According to the third embodiment, when the second server 10 transmits the list of the second stamps in response to the request from the user, the second server 10 depends on the usage status of the second messaging service and the first messaging service of the user. The range of use of the second stamp of the second server 10 that can be used by the first messaging service can be changed. That is, the range of the second stamp that can be used on the first messaging service can be changed for each user. Therefore, when the user feels inconvenience due to the difference in the usable range of the second stamp with his / her friend, the use of the second stamp can be promoted.

Further, the second server 10 calculates the score of the user of the second messaging service by the user of the terminal 20 based on the usage history, and the user can use the second messaging service on the first messaging service based on the calculated score. You may decide the stamp.
