(Bonus grant determination process)
FIG. 17 is a flowchart illustrating the privilege grant determination process executed by the content management server 2.

  For example, the user of the mobile terminal 3-1 displays the coupon stored in the storage unit 32 on the display unit 35, and holds the intention of using the coupon over the R / W (not shown) of the coupon usage terminal. If it tells, a coupon utilization terminal will access the content management server 2, and will inquire whether the coupon is effective.

  In step S21, the control unit 11 of the content management server 2 receives a usage notification from the coupon usage terminal. In step S22, the control unit 11 (privilege determination unit 11D) of the content management server 2 responds from the node information database 21 of the storage unit 12 based on the coupon ID included in the usage notification received in the process of step S21. Refer to transfer information.

  In step S23, the control unit 11 (privilege determination unit 11D) of the content management server 2 determines whether or not a predetermined condition has been achieved from the transfer information referenced in the process of step S22. As described above, the predetermined condition is, for example, whether or not the coupon transfer count and the total distance of the coupon route have reached the target value. In step S23, the control unit 11 (privilege determination unit 11D of the content management server 2). ) Proceeds to step S24 if it is determined that the predetermined condition is achieved.

  In step S <b> 24, the control unit 11 of the content management server 2 notifies the coupon using terminal via the network 4 that the coupon is valid. On the other hand, if the control unit 11 (privilege determination unit 11D) of the content management server 2 determines in step S23 that the predetermined condition has not been achieved, the process proceeds to step S25, and the coupon usage terminal is connected via the network 4. Notify that the coupon is invalid.

  In the above processing, the coupon to be used is determined whether the coupon is valid or invalid depending on whether or not the predetermined condition is achieved. For example, if the coupon you are trying to use does not achieve a certain condition, it will be determined as a normal discount amount (discount rate). The discount rate may be increased).

  In the above description, the node information database (DB) 21 and the edge information database (DB) 22 have been described as being stored in the storage unit 12 of the content management server 2, but further, a coupon database as shown in FIG. (DB) 101, user database (DB) 102, and user database (DB) 103 are preferably stored.

  The coupon database 101 stores at least a coupon ID, an issuer, an issue date, and an expiration date. The coupon ID is information for uniquely identifying a coupon. The issuer, issue date, and expiration date indicate the person who issued the coupon specified by the coupon ID, the date of issue, and the available time limit.

  The user database 102 stores at least a user ID, a name, and an address. The user ID is information for uniquely identifying a user who has accessed the content management server 2. The name and address indicate the name and address specified by the user ID, respectively.

  The user database 103 stores at least a coupon ID, an instance ID, a used flag, a use date and time, and use store information. The coupon ID is information for uniquely identifying a coupon, and is associated with the coupon ID in the coupon database 101. The instance ID is information for uniquely identifying the coupon entity. The used flag is information (flag) indicating whether or not the coupon specified by the coupon ID is used. The use date and time indicates the date and time when the coupon specified by the coupon ID was used. Use store information shows the store where the coupon specified by coupon ID was used.

(Coupon usage processing)
For example, the user of the mobile terminal 3-1 displays the coupon stored in the storage unit 32 on the display unit 35, and holds it over the R / W (not shown) of the coupon usage terminal installed in the store. When the coupon use intention is communicated, the coupon use terminal accesses the content management server 2, confirms the expiration date of the corresponding coupon among the coupon information stored in the coupon database 101, and can use the coupon. If it is determined that there is, the use of the coupon is notified to the coupon using terminal via the network 4. Further, the content management server 2 stores user information transmitted via the coupon use terminal in the user database 102 and stores information related to the use of the coupon in the user database 103.

  As a method for exchanging contents between portable terminals, for example, using a portable terminal equipped with an acceleration sensor and GPS, data is exchanged by performing operations such as shaking together portable terminals of users who exchange data. May be performed. In this case, the mobile terminal is shaken together to transmit the mobile terminal acceleration data, position information, and the content to be passed to the server, and the position and acceleration data are compared to identify the user to exchange data, The content transmitted from the user can be transmitted to the other user to exchange data.

  In the above description, the coupon has been described as an example of the content information. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the present invention can be applied to content such as music data and image data.
