FIG. 19 is a diagram showing an example of a screen in which a pin that guides display to another user's content is overlaid on the display, and FIG. 19 is a diagram showing an example of guiding from a pin on the map display of the client device 30 according to the present embodiment to another user's photo display. 20 is a diagram showing an example of another user's photo screen displayed on the client device 30 according to this embodiment, and FIG. 21 is a diagram showing an example of a point recovery confirmation screen displayed on the client device 30 according to this embodiment. is.

(Step S41)
On the display unit 308 of the client device 30, an initial display screen as shown in FIG. 10 is displayed from, for example, a dedicated application screen, and an input waiting state is entered. The items shown in FIG. 10 are an example of the initial display screen. User 3 presses or clicks, for example, "investigate" icon 308b5 to support the map display.

(Step S42)
The client device 30 uses the communication unit 301 to transmit current location data 901 acquired using GPS signals and Wi-Fi signals received by the wireless unit 307 and other user data 902 registered in the client device 30. Then, it is transmitted to the content server 20 through the NW. The content server 20 that has received the location data 901 and the user data 902 using the communication unit 201 searches for the photo data 821 or the video data 822 that includes the metadata 900 that matches the location data 901 and the user data 902 received from the content database 860. do.

(Step S43)
The client device 30 uses the communication unit 301 to transmit the current location data 901 acquired using the GPS signal or Wi-Fi signal received by the wireless unit 307 or the like to the map server 10 through the NW. After receiving the location data 901 using the communication unit 101 , the content server 20 selects the map data 811 matching the location data 901 received from the map database 850 by the map selection unit 111 .

(Step S44)
The photo data 821 or video data 822 retrieved in step S42 and the point data of the user 3 who is the administrator of the client device 30 retrieved in the point management database 870 using the point management unit 211 are transferred from the content server 20 to the client device. 30 through the NW using the communication unit 201 and transmitted. At this point, only the metadata 900 may be transmitted without transmitting the photo data 821 or the video data 822 itself.

(Step S45)
The map data 811 retrieved in step S43 is transmitted from the map server 10 to the client device 30 using the communication unit 101 through the NW.

(Step S46)
As shown in FIG. 18, the client device 30 stores the pin displayable area 308f2, the point data 308f3 received in step S45, and the pin icon 308f4 leading to the photo data 821 and moving image data 822 in the map data 811 received in step S45. is displayed using the overlay generator 312 on the current map 308f1. Instead of using the pin icon 308f4 as the guiding pin icon 308f4, the photo data 821 and the video data 822 themselves may be displayed.

(Step S47)
When the user 3 presses or clicks the pin icon 308f4 displayed on the display unit 308 of the client device 30, as shown in FIG. good. At this time, the user may or may not be guided to consume the points.

(Step S48)
In step S47, when "yes" 308f6 is pressed or clicked, as shown in FIG. area, and caption data 903 in the 308f10 area. When "Save" 308f11 is pressed or clicked, the photo data 821 and the video data 822 may be saved in the storage unit 304 in the client device 30, or only the metadata 900 may be saved. When "close" 308f12 is pressed or clicked, it is closed as it is.

(Step S49)
In step S47, when "yes" 308f6 is pressed or clicked, as shown in FIG. Display in area 308f9 and caption data 903 in area 308f10. When "Save" 308f11 is pressed or clicked, the photo data 821 and the video data 822 may be saved in the storage unit 304 in the client device 30, or only the metadata 900 may be saved.

(Step S50)
In step S47, if the point data of the user 3 who is the administrator of the client device 30 does not have points for browsing, a display 308f13 prompting the purchase of points may be displayed as shown in FIG. When "Purchase" 308f11 is pressed or clicked, the user 3 operates the point management unit 211 of the content server 20 through the client device 30, connects to the electronic money company server 40, makes a payment, and receives points as compensation. Add points on management database 870 . Also, the point management unit 211 of the content server 20 may add defined points for each defined time as a so-called point recovery function, in which points increase over time. If it has this function, it may calculate the recovery time and display it as in display 308f13.
