  In recent years, services for searching for compatible partners (such as marriage partners and dating partners) are in widespread use. This search service is intended for people who want to look for sexual affinity, and the desired person registers his / her personal information as a user. It is a service that provides the opportunity to look for.

  Specifically, in the search service, a heterosexual type (age, personality, residence, etc.) is input as a keyword by the user, and based on the input keyword and the personal information of the opposite sex registered by the user. Thus, the opposite sex having the personal information matched with the keyword is searched.

  In addition, a technique for allowing people to search each other's own interests under a situation where they have already met each other is known instead of the matching method described above (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In this technology, when a user who uses a wireless communication transmitter encounters a target partner that he / she likes within a predetermined distance or range, a wireless signal is transmitted from his / her wireless communication transmitter to the wireless communication transmitter on the other side. It is a technology to transmit. This makes it possible to transmit a wireless signal anonymously and unobtrusively, and even if the signal is rejected, no one knows that the signal has been transmitted, so the signal sender does not feel embarrassed There is an effect.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. First, the function of the search device 1 of the present invention will be described.

  FIG. 1 shows a functional configuration diagram of the search device 1. The search device 1 is a device having a search function for searching for a good partner (such as a marriage partner or dating partner) compatible with a user. The search device 1 can communicate with a plurality of user terminals and has a function of transmitting and receiving information to and from the user terminals.

  In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the search device 1 has a function of transmitting / receiving information to / from the user terminal 20A and the user terminal 20B. The user terminal 20A is a terminal that can accept an operation input of information from the user A, and the user terminal 20B is a terminal that can accept an operation input of information from the user B. Examples of the user terminal 20A and the user terminal 20B include a PC (Personal Computer) and a mobile phone.

In addition, the user A and the user B are users who use the search device 1 and want to obtain a partner. Hereinafter, a user who specifies a search condition is referred to as a search user. Moreover, the user searched from profile DB16A based on search conditions is described as a search object user. The search condition indicates a condition for searching for a specific user from the profile information.
In the present embodiment, it is assumed that user B is a search user and user A is a search target user.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the search device 1 includes a profile search keyword receiving unit 11, a profile DB (Data Base) search unit 12, a search result transmission unit 13, a searcher information extraction unit 14, and a searcher information transmission unit. 15 and a storage unit 16.

  The profile search keyword receiving unit 11, the search result transmitting unit 13, and the searcher information transmitting unit 15 are configured by a control unit and a communication unit. Moreover, the profile DB search part 12 and the searcher information extraction part 14 are comprised by the control part.

  The control unit includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a RAM (Random Access Memory), and the like, and centrally controls each unit of the search device 1. The control unit expands a designated program from among the programs stored in the program storage unit in the RAM, and executes various processes in cooperation with the program expanded in the RAM. The communication unit transmits and receives information to and from the connected user terminals 20A and 20B.

  The profile search keyword receiving unit 11 receives a profile search keyword. The profile search keyword is a keyword indicating a search condition. For example, in the user terminal 20B connected to the search device 1, a profile search keyword whose search condition is “age xx or less” or “annual income xx yen or more” is operated by the user B via an operation unit (not shown). When the profile search keyword is input and transmitted to the search device 1, the profile search keyword receiving unit 11 receives the profile search keyword.

  When the profile search keyword receiving unit 11 receives the profile search keyword, the search user information is stored in the storage unit 16. Search user information is information which shows the user ID of the user who operated and input the profile search keyword.

  For example, when the login authentication of the user B is successful in the user terminal 20B, the profile search keyword is operated and input by the user B, and the profile search keyword input by the operation is received by the search device 1, the user B's user The ID is stored in the storage unit 16 as search user information.

  The profile DB search unit 12 searches the profile DB 16A for users having profiles that satisfy the search condition of the profile search keyword.

  Here, the data configuration of the profile DB 16A will be described with reference to FIG. The profile DB 16A is a database in which user profile information is stored. As shown in FIG. 2, the profile DB 16A stores, as profile information, a user ID (Identification), name, nickname, age, summary, usage motive, partner's desire, personality, and the like in association with each other.

  The user ID is a unique number for identifying the user. The name is the name of the user, and the nickname is the user's nickname.

  The summary shows information about the user. For example, “Medical clerical work at a general hospital. My work is rewarding and fulfilling, but I am envious of my friends who are married and live happily. "."

  The use motive is information regarding a motive for registering personal information in the profile DB 16A. The usage motive indicates, for example, information such as “I want to get married early and have a child”.

  Opponent's request indicates information regarding conditions desired by the partner. The other party's hope indicates information such as “respect each other”.

  The personality indicates information on the personality of the user. The personality indicates, for example, information such as “solid, careful, precious, stable, and good care”.

  A residence shows the address of a user's residence. The face photograph indicates image data representing the user's face.

  In addition to the information shown in FIG. 2, the profile DB 16A stores information such as work environment and hobbies (both not shown) as profile information.

  In the profile information, the name, residence, and face photo indicate personal identification information that can identify an individual. Further, in the profile information, information other than the personal identification information (nickname, age, summary, usage motive, opponent's desire, personality information, etc.) indicates characteristic information representing individual characteristics.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the profile DB search unit 12 will be described. For example, when a profile search keyword having a search condition of “age XX or younger” or “annual income XX yen or more” is received by the profile search keyword receiving unit 11, the profile DB search unit 12 displays “age XX or younger”. A user having a profile that satisfies the search condition of “annual income XX yen or more” is searched from the profile DB 16A.

  When a user having a profile that satisfies the search condition is searched, search history information is stored in the storage unit 16. For example, information indicating that the feature information of the user A has been searched is stored as the search history information.

  The search result transmission unit 13 outputs, that is, transmits and displays the search result searched by the profile DB search unit 12 to the user terminal.

  For example, when the user A is searched by the profile DB search unit 12, the search result transmission unit 13 uses the search result as feature information of the user A (nickname, age, summary, usage motive, opponent's desire, personality information, etc. ) Is transmitted to the user terminal 20B, and the transmitted feature information is displayed on a display unit (not shown) of the user terminal 20B.

  The searcher information extraction unit 14 extracts feature information of the search user from the profile DB 16A based on the search user information.

  For example, when the user ID of the user B is stored in the storage unit 16 as the search user information, the searcher information extraction unit 14 extracts feature information associated with the user ID of the user B from the profile DB 16A.

  The searcher information transmission unit 15 outputs, that is, transmits and displays the characteristic information of the search user extracted by the searcher extraction unit 14 to the user terminal of the search target user.

  For example, when information indicating that the feature information of the user A is searched is stored in the search history information, the searcher information transmitting unit 15 authorizes the user A as a search target user. Then, the searcher information transmitting unit 15 determines the user terminal 20A that has succeeded in the authentication of the user A from the user terminals that are connected for communication. Then, the searcher information transmitting unit 15 transmits the feature information of the user B to the determined user terminal 20A, and displays the transmitted feature information on a display unit (not shown) of the user terminal 20A.

  The storage unit 16 is configured by an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) and stores various application programs and various data. The storage unit 16 particularly stores the profile DB 16A.

  Next, the operation of the search device 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. First, the profile information registration process executed by the search device 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The profile information registration process is a process of registering, in the profile DB 16A, profile information input by the user via the operation unit of the user terminal 20A or 20B.

  For example, the execution of the profile information registration process is triggered by the fact that a login authentication execution instruction has been received from either the user terminal 20A or 20B. Login authentication refers to determining whether or not a user can use the search function of the search device 1.

  Assume that user login authentication information (user ID and password) is stored in the storage unit 16 in advance.

  First, login information is received (step S1). Specifically, the user ID and password are received from the user terminal.

  After execution of step S1, it is determined whether or not login authentication is successful (step S2). Specifically, the login is based on whether the login information (user ID and password) received in step S1 matches the login authentication information (user ID and password) stored in the storage unit 16 or not. Authentication is performed.

  If the login authentication fails in step S2 (step S2; NO), the process proceeds to step S1. If login authentication is successful in step S2 (step S2; YES), profile information is received (step S3). The received profile information is stored in the profile DB 16A (step S4). After execution of step S4, the profile information registration process ends.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 4, the search process executed by the search device 1 will be described. The search process is a process for outputting the characteristic information of the search user (user B) to the user terminal 20A of the search target user (user A).

  For example, the search process is started to be triggered by the reception of the login authentication execution instruction from the user terminal 20B.

  Assume that the profile information of the user A and the user B is stored in the profile DB 16A in advance by the profile information registration process.

  First, login information of the user B is received from the user terminal 20B (step S11). And it is discriminate | determined whether login authentication was successful (step S12). Specifically, based on whether or not the user ID and password of user B received in step S11 and the login authentication information (user ID and password) of user B stored in the storage unit 16 match. Login authentication is performed.

  If it is determined in step S12 that the login authentication has failed (step S12; NO), the process proceeds to step S11. If it is determined in step S12 that the login authentication is successful, a profile search keyword is received (step S13). Specifically, the profile search keyword input by the user B via the operation unit of the user terminal 20 </ b> B is transmitted to the search device 1, and the profile search keyword is received by the profile search keyword receiving unit 11.

  After execution of step S13, a user having a profile that satisfies the search condition of the received profile search keyword is searched (step S14). Specifically, the profile DB search unit 12 searches the profile DB 16A for a user A having a profile that satisfies the search condition of the profile search keyword.

  After execution of step S14, the search result is output to the user terminal of the search user (step S15). Specifically, the search result transmission unit 13 transmits the feature information of the user A as a search result to the user terminal 20B, and the transmitted feature information is displayed on the display unit of the user terminal 20B. Thereby, the user B can refer to the feature information of the user A.

  After execution of step S15, the feature information of the search user is extracted from the profile DB 16A (step S16). Specifically, the search target person search unit 14 searches the profile DB 16A for the characteristic information of the search user based on the search user information.

  After execution of step S16, it is determined whether or not the search target user has successfully logged in (step S17). Specifically, the searcher information transmitting unit 15 recognizes the user A as a search target user based on the search history information. Then, the searcher information transmitting unit 15 determines whether or not the user A has successfully completed the login authentication based on the login history information indicating whether or not the login authentication has been successful.

  In step S17, when it is determined that the search target user has not succeeded in the login authentication (step S17; NO), the characteristic information of the search user is stored in the storage unit 16 (step S18). After execution of step S18, the process proceeds to step S17.

  If it is determined in step S17 that the search target user has successfully logged in (step S17; YES), the search user's feature information is output to the user terminal of the search target user (step S19). Specifically, the searcher information transmission unit 15 transmits the feature information of the user B to the user terminal 20A, and the transmitted feature information is displayed on the display unit of the user terminal 20A. Thereby, the user A can refer to the feature information of the user B.

  Note that the feature information of the user B is displayed in various display modes. For example, the personality of the user B may be displayed together with the display that “XX (nickname of the user B) is interested”. Moreover, it is good also as displaying the WEB page in which the characteristic information of the user B was described. Moreover, it is good also as displaying the information which showed the link destination of the WEB page which can refer characteristic information, such as a personality, with the display of the user B's nickname. After execution of step S19, the search process is terminated.

  After the above-described search processing is completed, for example, there is a message exchange between the user B and the user A, and the user A and the user B are interested in each other through the exchange, and the user terminal 20A and the user terminal 20B. In some cases, the search apparatus 1 receives an instruction from each of them to accept the output of the personal identification information. In this case, the search device 1 outputs the personal identification information of the user A to the user terminal 20B of the user B, and outputs the personal identification information of the user B to the user terminal 20A of the user A.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the search target user (user A) can know the characteristics of the search user by referring to the characteristic information of the search user (user B). That is, it is possible to grasp the characteristics (types) of people who are interested in themselves. For this reason, for example, if a user who is not his / her favorite type is interested in him / her, he / she can obtain a new awareness and search for a partner by changing his / her viewpoint. it can. Moreover, the chance of finding a partner can be expanded by changing the viewpoint of the search target user.

  In addition, when the login authentication of the search target user is successful, the feature information is output to the user terminal 20A of the search target user, so that the search target user is interested in himself if the login authentication is successful. It is possible to grasp the characteristics of people.

  In addition, when the search user and the search target user receive an instruction for permitting output of personal identification information, that is, name, residence, face photo, etc., the search user can grasp the personal identification information of the search target user. The search target user can grasp the personal identification information of the search user. As a result, the search user and the search target user can specifically grasp the other party.

  The description in the above embodiment is an example, and the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the above embodiment, the search user is only the user B. However, when there are a plurality of search users, the feature information of the plurality of search users may be output.

  In addition, it should be considered that the embodiment disclosed this time is illustrative and not restrictive in all respects. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.
