<First embodiment>
[Electronic payment service]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a configuration for realizing an electronic payment service. The electronic payment service is realized mainly by the user terminal device 10 (payment application 20) and the payment server 100. FIG. The settlement server 100 communicates with, for example, one or more user terminal devices 10, one or more store terminal devices 50, and one or more service servers 300 via the network NW. The network NW includes, for example, the Internet, a LAN (Local Area Network), wireless base stations, provider devices, and the like.

The user terminal device 10 is, for example, a portable terminal device such as a smart phone or a tablet terminal. The user terminal device 10 is a computer device having at least an optical reading function, a communication function, a display function, an input reception function, a program execution function, a position measuring device (GPS), and the like. In the following description, configurations for realizing these functions are respectively referred to as a camera, a communication device, a touch panel, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and the like. In the user terminal device 10, the payment application 20 is executed by a processor such as a CPU, and operates in cooperation with the payment server 100 to provide electronic payment services to the user. The payment application 20 controls a camera, a communication device, a touch panel, and the like.

The store terminal device 50 is installed, for example, in a store. The store terminal device 50 is a computer device having at least a product price acquisition function, an optical reading function, a program execution function, and a communication function. The store terminal device 50 includes a so-called POS (Point of Sale) device, and the POS device may realize the product price acquisition function and the optical reading function. The store code image 60 is placed in a store and is a code image such as a QR code (registered trademark) printed on a medium such as paper or plastic. Note that the store code image 60 may be displayed on a display placed at the store.

The payment server 100 implements electronic payment based on payment information received from the user terminal device 10 or the store terminal device 50 . The settlement server 100 performs electronic settlement, for example, by increasing or decreasing balance information managed in association with a user ID (in other words, depositing and withdrawing electronic money). The electronic payment may include a method such as revolving payment or credit payment that enables purchase of a larger amount than the balance information at the time of purchase.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a general flow of electronic payment. There may be two types of electronic payment: pattern 1 and pattern 2. In the case of pattern 1, first, the payment application 20 is activated on the user terminal device 10, and a code image (code information) such as a QR code or barcode is displayed. The user holds up (presents) the display surface of the user terminal device 10 to the shop terminal device 50 . The shop terminal device 50 decodes the code image with the optical reading function and acquires information such as the user ID. The shop terminal device 50 then generates payment information including the user ID, payment amount, shop ID, etc., and transmits the payment information to the payment server 100 . The information on the payment amount is acquired in advance by reading a bar code, manually inputting it, or the like. The payment server 100 performs payment processing based on the received information.

In the case of pattern 2, the user terminal device 10 with the payment application 20 activated decodes the store code image 60 by the optical reading function. The store code image 60 includes information such as the store name. The user inputs the settlement amount into the user terminal device 10 on the screen on which the store name and the like are displayed. Then, the user terminal device 10 generates payment information including the user ID, payment amount, store ID, etc., and transmits the payment information to the payment server 100 . The payment server 100 performs payment processing based on the received information. It should be noted that electronic payment may be performed only in one of the above patterns.

When electronic payment is completed, a completion notification is sent from the payment server 100 to the user terminal device 10 . The user terminal device 10 displays a payment completion screen in response to the received notification of completion. The completion notification is, for example, in the form of a web page. The payment completion screen displays, for example, information about the store where the payment was made, the payment amount, points (privileges) given to the user as a result of the payment, and the like.

The service server 300 will be described first. The service server 300 is, for example, a device that cooperates with an electronic payment system (the payment application 20 or the payment server 100) to perform various processes and transmit and receive information. The service server 300 is a device that provides various services such as, for example, a server device that provides a social networking service, a server device that provides shopping on the network NW, and a server device that provides a restaurant reservation service on the network NW.

Each of payment processing unit 120, content providing unit 130, registration unit 140, distribution unit 150, and cooperation unit 160 is implemented by a hardware processor such as a CPU executing a program (software). Some or all of these components are hardware (circuit part; circuitry) or by cooperation of software and hardware. The program may be stored in advance in a storage device (a storage device with a non-transitory storage medium) such as a HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or flash memory, or may be stored in a removable storage such as a DVD or CD-ROM. It may be stored in a medium (non-transitory storage medium) and installed in the storage device by loading the storage medium into the drive device.

The storage unit 200 is an HDD, flash memory, RAM (Random Access Memory), or the like. The storage unit 200 may be a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device that the settlement server 100 can access via the network NW. Store information 202, user information 204, task identification information 206, distribution information 208, content information 210, and other information are stored in the storage unit 200. FIG.

The communication unit 110 is a communication interface for connecting to the network NW. The communication unit 110 is, for example, a network card.

The payment processing unit 120 performs payment processing based on the payment information transmitted from the user terminal device 10 or the shop terminal device 50 . The settlement processing unit 120 performs settlement processing while referring to the user information 204, which will be described later.

The content providing unit 130 includes, for example, a first processing unit 132, a second processing unit 134, and a providing unit 136. FIG. The first processing unit 132 acquires event information selected based on a predetermined criterion from among one or more pieces of event information that are task or event information. The first processing unit 132 acquires event information selected by the user in the payment application 20 or event information associated with the user ID of the user information 204 . The second processing unit 134 acquires content including one or more guide information prompting the use of the service corresponding to the event information acquired by the first processing unit 132 . Guidance information is information for guiding the user to other content or information for prompting the use of a predetermined function. The guidance information is, for example, information for accessing the guidance destination (information indicating a link), a button for starting an application program having the function of the guidance destination, and the like. The second processing unit 134 provides the payment application 20 with content including guidance information corresponding to the event information, for example, by referring to the content information 210 described later.

The providing unit 136 has, for example, a function of a web server, and provides the user terminal device 10 with information (contents) for displaying various screens of the electronic payment service. The providing unit 136 appropriately reads necessary content from the content stored in the storage unit 200 and provides it to the user terminal device 10 . The user terminal device 10 accepts various inputs from the user while the content is being reproduced by the payment application 20 , and transmits the above-described payment information and the like to the payment server 100 .

The registration unit 140 causes the storage unit 200 to store the task or event. The registration unit 140 generates task-related information 204B and event-related information 204C included in the user information 204, which will be described later.

The distribution unit 150 distributes various information such as tasks or events to users. The distribution unit 150, for example, refers to distribution information 208, which will be described later, and distributes information such as tasks and events to the user.

The cooperation unit 160 cooperates with the service server 300 that provides services other than the electronic payment service, and provides the service provided by the service server 300 to the user. The cooperation unit 160 provides the user with content provided by another service server 300 .

Information about stores is managed as store information 202 . FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the contents of the shop information 202. As shown in FIG. The store information 202 is, for example, a store ID associated with information such as a store category, location, and payment pattern. The store category may be one-level information, or may be information having a hierarchical structure of two or more levels. For example, information such as "Japanese food", "restaurant", and "restaurant" may be given as a superordinate concept of "sushi" shown in the figure. The location may be represented by hierarchical information. The payment pattern is information indicating which of pattern 1 and pattern 2 described above can be used for payment (whether both can be used for payment).

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the content of payment-related information 204A included in user information 204. As shown in FIG. The user information 204 is, for example, a user ID associated with information such as contact information, balance information, and payment history information. The contact information is information entered by the user when subscribing to the electronic payment service. The balance information is information indicating the balance of electronic money set by the user in advance by transferring money from a bank deposit or the like to the electronic settlement service. The balance information may be automatically added by auto-charging accompanying the payment process. The payment history information is information indicating details of payments made by the user (date and time, shop ID of the shop where the purchase was made, payment amount, etc.) for each payment.

The task-related information 204B included in the user information 204 includes information indicating the task associated with the user ID shown in FIG. 6, the task type, and the deadline (or timing) of the task. . The registration unit 140 acquires task information input by the user by operating the payment application 20 and causes the storage unit 200 to store the acquired task and deadline. As a result, task-related information 204B is generated. Task-related information 204B is an example of an "event list."

For example, as shown in FIG. 7 , when the user operates the payment application 20 and inputs the task “buy a water bottle”, the registration unit 140 refers to the task identification information 206 to identify the task type. Identify keywords for The task identification information 206 is information in which keywords and task types are associated with each other. For example, the registration unit 140 identifies the task type “purchase of goods” corresponding to “purchase” as the task type of “purchase of water bottle”. For example, when the input task includes "payment", the registration unit 140 specifies "payment" as the task type. For example, when the input task includes "learning", the registration unit 140 specifies "payment" as the task type. The type of task is specified in this way. “Task identification information” is an example of “information in which keywords and types of events are associated with each other”.

When a task is input in the input form shown in FIG. 8, the registration unit 140 identifies the task type corresponding to the task input in the registration form as the task type. The input form has an area to enter the task (type of task), an area to enter the details of the task, an area to enter the deadline for the task, and an area to select whether to link with the calendar function. is provided. For example, the user sets the task by selecting the appropriate type from the types of tasks prepared in advance. For example, when linking with the calendar function is selected, the electronic payment system associates the task with the calendar function of the payment application 20 or the calendar function of another application installed in the user terminal device 10. The type of event may also be identified in the same manner as the idea described using FIG. 7 or FIG. 8 above.

The event-related information 204C included in the user information 204 includes information indicating the event associated with the user ID shown in FIG. 9 and the timing of the event. The registration unit 140 acquires from the user terminal device 10 the information of the event distributed by the settlement server 100 and registered by the user as his/her own event, and stores the acquired event in the storage unit 200.例文帳に追加As a result, event-related information 204C included in user information 204 shown in FIG. 9 is generated. It should be noted that an event distributed or scheduled to be distributed by the payment server 100 may simply be registered in the event-related information 204C.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the contents of the distribution information 208. As shown in FIG. The distribution information 208 is information prepared for each user ID. For example, information generated based on task-related information 204B or event-related information 204C. The distribution information 208 includes information in which a task to be distributed, a distribution period, and a content to be distributed are associated with each other, and information in which an event to be distributed, a distribution period, and a content to be distributed are associated with each other. Based on the distribution information 208, the distribution unit 150 distributes the content corresponding to the task or event to the user at the time corresponding to the task or event (for example, FIG. 15, FIG. 18, FIG. 20, FIG. content is delivered).

A task to be distributed may be set by the user, or may be determined automatically, for example. For example, when the user requests and sets the payment server 100 to notify when the number of products “○○” becomes 1000 or less (for example, when the user sets in the input form in FIG. 8 case), the payment server 100 notifies the payment application 20 that the price of the product "○○" is 1000 yen or less when the price of the product "○○" is 1000 yen or less. For example, the settlement server 100 acquires the price of a designated product from the server device of a shopping mall or store on the network NW, and notifies the user when the acquired price becomes equal to or less than the set price.

For example, if a given user purchases the same product on or around a given day every month (if the same action is performed a given number of times or more), the payment server 100 Set the task "Purchase of ○○" as the task to be distributed, and set the date when the action is performed as the deadline. Tasks are set automatically. The distribution conditions or distribution timing in the distribution information 208 may be set by the user, or may be set by the settlement server 100 .

Also, a subscription purchase task may be set. For example, when a user sets a task to purchase tea on the 1st of every month, the settlement server 100 notifies the user of information indicating the task of purchasing tea on the 1st of every month or several days before the 1st. When the setting is made, subscription purchase is associated with the task in the task-related information 204B, for example.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of contents of the content information 210. As shown in FIG. The content information 210 is information in which types of content are associated with tasks or events (hereafter referred to as events). Contents are prepared for each task type or event type. Guidance information included in the content differs for each type of event.

[Description on the interface screen (Part 1)]
FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of an interface screen displayed by the payment application 20 on the display unit of the user terminal device 10. As shown in FIG. When the payment application 20 is activated by the user's operation, the home screen IM shown in FIG. 12 is displayed on the display unit. The home screen IM includes a payment method for electronic payment, a bar code and a QR code in which the user ID is encoded, and information on functions or services provided by the payment application 20 . For example, when the user operates the button B1, the interface screen IM2 is displayed on the display unit.

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of the interface screen IM2. The interface screen IM2 includes, for example, information indicating a list of task lists or event lists set by the user or automatically set by the payment application 20 as described above. When "shopping" in the task list on the interface screen IM2 is selected, the interface screen IM3 is displayed on the display unit.

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of the interface screen IM3. The interface screen IM3 contains tasks related to shopping. The interface screen IM3 includes, for example, a task to purchase a water bottle by October 10, 2021 and a task to purchase detergent on the 15th of every month. When the user wants to add a task, the task can be added by operating "Add task" on the interface screen IM3. When "purchase water bottle" is selected on the interface screen IM3, the interface screen IM4 is displayed on the display unit.

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of the interface screen IM4. The interface screen IM4 includes information such as a deadline for purchasing a water bottle, information indicating linkage with a calendar, guidance information, and the like. The information indicating that the calendar is linked means that the calendar function provided by the payment application 20 or the calendar application linked to the payment application 20 sets information regarding the purchase of a water bottle on October 10, 2021 as a schedule. This is information indicating that The guidance information on the interface screen IM4 is associated with the button B2 associated with the link for accessing the web address of the shopping mall on the network NW and the link for accessing the web address of the store on the network NW. a button B3, a button B4 for starting an application program relating to services corresponding to shopping malls or stores, and the like.

For example, when the user operates the button B2 on the interface screen IM4, an interface screen of a shopping mall on the network NW is displayed on the display unit of the user terminal device 10. FIG. This interface screen includes, for example, a list of water bottles sold in shopping malls and information on stores selling water bottles. This allows the user to easily accomplish the task.

Also, when the user purchases a water bottle, the user can operate the payment application 20 to delete "purchase water bottle" from the task list. When the user purchases a water bottle and the payment application 20 and the payment server 100 acquire information indicating that the water bottle has been purchased, "purchase water bottle" may be automatically deleted from the task list, Completion of the task may be associated with the task of "buying a water bottle". For example, information indicating that a water bottle has been purchased may be acquired from a server device or an application program that operates or manages a shopping mall cooperating with the payment application 20 or the payment server 100, for example. Also, when operating or managing a shopping mall in an electronic payment service, naturally the payment application 20 and the payment server 100 can acquire information indicating that a water bottle has been purchased. In addition, when the water bottle is purchased, the payment application 20 and the payment server 100 inquire whether to delete "purchase of water bottle" from the task list or mark it as purchased. good.

Further, the interface screen IM4 of FIG. 15 described above may be provided by the user's operation as described above, or may be provided when the delivery time comes. Furthermore, the interface screen IM4 may be provided when a condition set by the user is satisfied. For example, as described above, notification or information is provided when the price of the water bottle falls below the set price or when a predetermined date arrives.

[Sequence Diagram]
FIG. 16 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the flow of processing executed by the payment application 20 and the payment server 100. As shown in FIG. First, when the user inputs task information (necessary information such as task content and deadline) (S10), the payment application 20 transmits task information indicating the task together with the user ID to the payment server 100 (S12). ). Next, the settlement server 100 associates the transmitted task information with the user ID of the task-related information 204B (S14). This registers the task.
