[1. (Affiliate method)
First, an example of the affiliate method according to the embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram of an affiliate method according to the embodiment.

  The affiliate method according to the embodiment is realized by, for example, the affiliate system 1 illustrated in FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the affiliate system 1 includes a first terminal 2a, a second terminal 2b, an affiliate server 3a, and a shopping server 3b. The first terminal 2a and the second terminal 2b are portable wireless terminals, for example, and can communicate with the affiliate server 3a and the shopping server 3b via a communication network (not shown).

  In the first terminal 2a and the second terminal 2b, a dedicated application (hereinafter referred to as an affiliate application) used for affiliate advertising is installed, and affiliate advertising is effectively performed using the function of the affiliate application. Done. In the following, it is assumed that the affiliate application is activated in the first terminal 2a and the second terminal 2b, and the control units of the first terminal 2a and the second terminal 2b are operated by the affiliate application.

  Icons 6a and 6b corresponding to affiliate information (hereinafter may be referred to as affiliate icons 6) are displayed on the display unit of the first terminal 2a depending on the function of the affiliate application. Affiliate information is information on products targeted for affiliate, for example, information on products purchased or used by the user of the first terminal 2a (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the first terminal user) Information etc. are included.

  In the example shown in FIG. 1, the first terminal 2a stores the affiliate information transmitted from the shopping server 3b in the storage unit, and displays the affiliate icon 6 corresponding to the affiliate information on the display unit (step S1). Thereby, the 1st terminal user can grasp that it became an affiliator. Affiliate information can also be provided to the first terminal 2a via the affiliate server 3a.

  The information of the affiliate target product set in the first terminal 2a is provided as introduction information to the user of the second terminal 2b that satisfies the introduction condition (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a second terminal user).

  The introduction conditions include, for example, that the second terminal user exists within a predetermined range from the position of the first terminal user (first condition), and that the second terminal user has a predetermined attribute (second condition). , Etc. are included.

  The first condition is satisfied by the presence of the second terminal 2b within a predetermined range from the position of the first terminal 2a. Therefore, the first terminal user can expect to get an affiliate reward by moving to a place where the second terminal user exists, for example.

  The second condition is that, for example, the user attribute of the second terminal user is in a predetermined relationship with the user attribute specified by the provider of the product to be affiliated (hereinafter referred to as the specified user attribute). . For example, when the designated user attribute is “female in the twenties”, the second terminal user having the user attribute of “female in the twenties” is determined to satisfy the second condition.

  The second condition may be that the attribute of the second terminal user has a predetermined relationship with the attribute of the first terminal user. In this case, for example, the affiliate server 3a determines that the second terminal user satisfies the second condition when the degree of coincidence between the user attribute of the first terminal user and the user attribute of the second terminal user is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. .

  In order to satisfy the introduction condition, the first terminal user moves to a place where the second terminal user having a predetermined attribute exists (step S2). For example, when the designated user attribute is “female in twenties”, the first terminal user moves to a place where women in twenties are likely to gather.

  The first terminal 2a and the second terminal 2b regularly transmit terminal information including the location information of the current location to the affiliate server 3a (steps S3a and S3b), and the affiliate server 3a includes the first terminal 2a and the second terminal 2a. Based on the terminal information acquired from the terminal 2b, it is determined whether or not the first condition is satisfied (step S4).

  When there is the second terminal 2b that satisfies the first condition, the affiliate server 3a determines whether or not the user of the second terminal 2b that satisfies the first condition has an attribute that satisfies the second condition. The attribute information of the second terminal user is stored as user information in the affiliate server 3a, but the attribute information can also be notified from the second terminal 2b to the server 3.

  The affiliate server 3a transmits introduction information corresponding to the affiliate information set in the first terminal 2a to the second terminal 2b to the second terminal user who satisfies the introduction condition (step S5). The second terminal 2b sets the introduction information transmitted from the affiliate server 3a in the internal storage unit, and displays an icon 7a corresponding to the introduction information (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the introduction icon 7) on the display unit. (Step S6).

  Thereafter, when the second terminal user operates the introduction icon 7 displayed on the display unit (step S7), the second terminal 2b displays a coupon screen 8 including a coupon banner on the display unit. When the coupon banner displayed on the coupon screen 8 is selected by the second terminal user (step S8), the second terminal 2b accesses the shopping server 3b that provides the product corresponding to the introduction icon 7, and the shopping server Based on the information transmitted from 3b, the shopping screen 9 is displayed on a display part.

  A purchase button for purchasing a product corresponding to the introduction icon 7 is set on the shopping screen 9, and the second terminal user selects the purchase button to purchase from the second terminal 2b to the shopping server 3b. A request is transmitted (step S9). Thereby, the second terminal user can purchase a product corresponding to the introduction icon 7.

  When the affiliate server 3a acquires the sales information indicating that the second terminal user has purchased the product corresponding to the introduction icon 7 from the shopping server 3b (step S10), the affiliate server 3a is the first terminal that is the introducer. Affiliate processing for granting rewards to users. For example, the affiliate server 3a can identify the introduced product and the first terminal user from information included in the sales information.

  The reward is given by adding a predetermined percentage of points (hereinafter referred to as affiliate points) to the points of the first terminal user with respect to the amount of the introduced product. The affiliate server 3a transmits the affiliate point information given to the first terminal user to the first terminal 2a (step S11).

  The above points are virtual values that can be used for services (for example, online shopping, online games, auctions, etc.) provided by a server such as the shopping server 3b. Such points may be virtual values that can be used for other services. The affiliate server 3a can also give a reward by transferring a predetermined amount of money (hereinafter referred to as an affiliate fee) to the account of the first terminal user with respect to the amount of the introduced product.

  Thus, in the affiliate method according to the embodiment, as a condition for notifying the second terminal user of the introduction information corresponding to the affiliate advertisement, the second terminal user exists within a predetermined range from the position of the first terminal user. Includes one condition.

  Therefore, the first terminal user can actively notify the second terminal user of the introduction information by moving to the place where the second terminal user is present, and the affiliate terminal is actively engaged offline to obtain an affiliate reward. A new affiliate advertising system can be provided.

  Affiliators can become influencers of merchandise that are affiliated with active offline actions. The influencer refers to a person who has a great influence on the purchase of goods, for example.

  In the affiliate method according to the embodiment, the second condition that the second terminal user has a predetermined attribute is included as a condition for notifying the second terminal user of the introduction information. With this second condition, introduction information is not transmitted to all second terminal users near the first terminal user, and spam-like advertisement distribution can be suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the introduction information from being easily ignored. In addition, the introduction information is notified to the second terminal user who may purchase the affiliate-targeted product, and thereby, the effect of the affiliate advertisement can be effectively exhibited.

  In the above-described example, the purchase of the product online is described. However, the affiliate advertisement can be similarly performed for the purchase of the product offline. Similarly, affiliate advertisements can be performed for using services (for example, providing food at a restaurant or providing movies at a movie theater) instead of products. In addition, the introduction information can include information on the purchase and use of products and services, as well as information on discount coupons and other recommended products and services.

The setting data includes various information such as affiliate points, terminal user IDs, and acquisition conditions.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 21 by the affiliate application. As shown in FIG. 4, the display screen 50 of the display unit 21 includes an affiliate information area 71, an introduction information area 72, and a point information area 73.

  In the affiliate information area 71, affiliate icons 60a to 60e based on affiliate information (hereinafter may be collectively referred to as affiliate icons 60) are displayed. The affiliate icons 60a to 60e are displayed by the display control unit 52 based on “data A” to “data E” which are icon information corresponding to the transaction target IDs “P100” to “P104” shown in FIG.

  The display control unit 52 considers the number of introductions when the affiliate icon 60 is displayed. For example, since the number of introductions of the transaction target ID “P104” shown in FIG. 3 is “3”, the affiliate icon 60e includes the character “3” corresponding to the number of introductions “3” as information indicating the number of introductions. It is. Thereby, the terminal user can determine at a glance the affiliate icon 60 in which there are many other terminal users provided with the introduction information. In the example shown in FIG. 4, characters are added as information indicating the number of referrals. However, the display control unit 52 can express the number of referrals with a graphic instead of the characters. The number of referrals can be expressed by shape, color, size, etc.

  In the introduction information area 72, introduction icons 61a and 61b based on the introduction information (hereinafter may be collectively referred to as the introduction icon 61) are displayed. The introduction icons 61a and 61b are displayed by the display control unit 52 based on “data F” and “data G” which are icon information corresponding to the transaction target IDs “P105a” and “P106a” shown in FIG.

  The display control unit 52 considers the number of introductions when displaying the introduction icon 61. For example, since the number of introductions of the transaction target ID “P105a” shown in FIG. 3 is “1”, the introduction icon 61a includes the character “1” corresponding to the number of introductions “1” as information indicating the number of introductions. It is. Since the introduction number of the transaction target ID “P106a” is “8”, the introduction icon 61b includes the character “8” corresponding to the introduction number “8” as information indicating the number of introductions.

  Thereby, the terminal user can distinguish at a glance the introduction icons 61 having a large number of introductions. In the example shown in FIG. 4, numbers are added, but the display control unit 52 can express the number of introductions with figures instead of characters, and the shape, color, and size of the introduction icon 61. You can also express the number of referrals.

  In the point information area 73, affiliate points acquired by the terminal user are displayed. The affiliate point is information that the acquisition unit 51 acquires from the affiliate server 3a. With this affiliate point, the terminal user can purchase or use a product or service traded on the shopping server 3b, for example.

  Moreover, the display control part 52 can make a terminal user have an expectation by making the display according to the alerting | reporting information acquired by the acquisition part 51 into the display part 21, and can give expectation to a 1st terminal user and 1st terminal user. It is a motivation for behavior for two-terminal users. In addition, the display control part 52 can also output the sound according to alerting | reporting information from the speaker which is not shown in figure.

[3.3. Notification unit 53]
The notification unit 53 repeatedly transmits the position information acquired by the position detection unit 24 to the affiliate server 3a at a predetermined cycle. The transmission timing of the affiliate server 3a can be set by the operation of the terminal user, and the setting data is updated by the operation of the terminal user. When the setting data is updated, the notification unit 53 transmits the position information to the affiliate server 3a at a transmission timing based on the updated setting data.

  Moreover, the notification part 53 transmits an affiliate stop request | requirement to the affiliate server 3a, when there is an affiliate stop operation by the terminal user. The affiliate stop operation can be performed for each affiliate icon 60 by, for example, a double click operation.

  For example, when the terminal user double-clicks the affiliate icon 60a arranged on the display screen 50 shown in FIG. 4, an affiliate stop request for the affiliate target for the affiliate icon 60a is transmitted to the affiliate server 3a. The terminal user double-clicks the affiliate icon 60a again, whereby an affiliate stop cancellation request is transmitted to the affiliate server 3a, and the affiliate stop can be canceled.

  Thus, since the affiliate can be stopped for each affiliate icon 60, for example, introduction information can be prevented from being transmitted to a specific terminal user, and introduction information is transmitted only to a specific terminal user. You can also

  Further, the notification unit 53 can transmit the comment information input from the terminal user to the server 3. When the affiliate icon 60 is selected by a click operation or the like, the display control unit 52 displays a comment input screen (not shown) for inputting comment information on the display unit 21. When comment information is input by the operation of the terminal user, the notification unit 53 transmits the input comment information to the server 3 together with the transaction target ID of the affiliate icon 60.

  Further, for example, when the introduction icon 61 is clicked by the operation of the terminal user in the introduction information area 72 (see FIG. 4), the notification unit 53 determines that the introduction icon 61 is selected as a purchase target, and shopping. A purchase request is made to the server 3b.

  When making a purchase request, the notification unit 53 acquires transaction target information corresponding to the introduction icon 61 that is the operation target from the target information table of the storage unit 23, and acquires the user ID of the terminal user from the setting data To do. Then, the purchase request including the transaction target information corresponding to the user ID of the terminal user and the introduction icon 61 is made to the shopping server 3b.

  For example, when the terminal user clicks the introduction icon 61a on the display screen 50 shown in FIG. 5A, the notification unit 53 uses the access information “URL_F” as information on the transaction target ID “P105a” from the target information table. get. Then, the notification unit 53 accesses the shopping page of the shopping server 3b indicated by “URL_F” via the communication network 5.

  The user ID of the terminal user is notified to the shopping server 3b by being added to “URL_F”, for example. When the terminal user completes the transaction to be traded on the shopping page of the shopping server 3b, the sales information is notified from the shopping server 3b to the affiliate server 3a, as will be described later.

  When the terminal user clicks the introduction icon 61b on the display screen 50 shown in FIG. 5A, the notification unit 53 uses the access information “codeG” as information on the transaction target ID “P106a” from the target information table. get. In addition, the notification unit 53 acquires the user ID of the user terminal from the setting data. And the notification part 53 produces | generates the two-dimensional barcode image 62 according to the information containing access information "codeG" and the user ID of a user terminal, for example, as shown in FIG. indicate. The two-dimensional barcode image 62 is read by the barcode reader of the store terminal 4 and, as will be described later, sales information is notified from the store terminal 4 to the affiliate server 3a.

  When the NFC device is provided in the wireless terminal 2, the notification unit 53 can also transmit the access information “codeG” and the user ID of the user terminal from the NFC device to the store terminal 4.

  Further, the notification unit 53 transmits information on the image of the terminal user imaged by the imaging unit 25 and information on the odor of the terminal user detected by the odor detection unit 26 to the affiliate server 3a.

Information acquired by the acquisition unit 34 includes, for example, sales information transmitted from the shopping server 3b and the store terminal 4, information transmitted from the wireless terminal 2, and the like.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a transaction information table stored in the transaction target information DB 31. As shown in FIG. 6, in the transaction information table, “name”, “quantity”, “number of introductions”, “icon information”, “access information”, and “introduction flag” are associated with each “transaction target ID”. Information.

  “Transaction target ID”, “name”, “number of introductions”, “icon information”, and “access information” are the same information as the target information table of the wireless terminal 2. “Quantity” is the quantity of products purchased by the terminal user or the number of times the service is used.

  The “introduction flag” is a flag indicating whether or not the transaction target can be introduced. When the introduction flag is “1”, the transaction target can be introduced, and when the introduction flag is “0”, the transaction is performed. The subject cannot be introduced. The initial value of the introduction flag is “1”.

  Although not shown, comment information can be set in the transaction information table. When acquiring the comment information and the transaction target ID from the wireless terminal 2, the acquisition unit 34 associates the comment information with the transaction target ID and sets the comment information in the transaction information table of the transaction target information DB 31.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a user information table stored in the user information DB 32. As shown in FIG. 7, for each “user ID”, the user information table includes “psychographic attribute”, “demographic attribute”, “transaction target ID”, “introduction target ID”, “point”, “location information”. ”,“ Image information ”, and“ scent information ”.

  The “user ID” is identification information unique to the terminal user, for example, a user ID assigned to the terminal user for the service provided by the server 3.

  The “psychographic attribute” is information indicating the user's values, lifestyle, personality, preference, and the like. Here, as shown in FIG. 7, the “psychographic attributes” are classified into “car”, “cosmetics”, “clothes”, and the like. In the example shown in FIG. 7, “1” is associated with each category when the user's preference is relatively high, and “0” is associated with other cases, but this is limited to this. Instead, for example, the user's preference may be evaluated in three or more stages. Various changes can be made to the category type.

  The “demographic attribute” is a demographic attribute, and is divided into, for example, “gender” and “age” of the user as shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 7, in the “gender” column, “1” is associated when the user is female, “2” is associated when the user is male, and the gender of the user is unknown. In this case, “0” is associated.

  In the “age” column, a number obtained by adding 1 to the user's age is associated, and “0” is associated when the user's age is unknown. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the gender and age of the user are described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this, and various demographic types such as the user's occupation, family structure, annual income, educational background, etc. Graphic attribute ".

  The “transaction target ID” is the same information as the “transaction target ID” shown in FIG. The “introduction target ID” is a transaction target ID assigned to the transaction target information introduced by another terminal user.

  The “point” is an affiliate point given to the terminal user, and the terminal user can purchase or use a product or service traded on the shopping server 3b by the affiliate point.

  “Position information” is information indicating the position of the wireless terminal 2 and is, for example, latitude and longitude, but may be an address. In the example illustrated in FIG. 7, information indicating the latest position of the wireless terminal 2 is set in the user information table. However, position information within a predetermined period can be set in the user information table.

  “Image information” is information on the face and appearance of the terminal user imaged by the imaging unit 25 of the wireless terminal 2. “Odor information” is information on the odor of the terminal user detected by the odor detector 26 of the wireless terminal 2. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the latest image information and odor information are set in the user information table, but image information and odor information within a predetermined period can be set in the user information table.

  Here, the update of the transaction information table of transaction object information DB31 and the user information table of user information DB32 is demonstrated.

  The sales information transmitted from the shopping server 3b or the store terminal 4 includes the user ID of the terminal user who is the transaction subject of the transaction (hereinafter referred to as transaction user) and the information of the transaction target. For example, when the terminal user makes a transaction transaction without being based on the introduction information, the sales information transmitted from the shopping server 3b includes the transaction user's user ID, transaction object name, quantity, icon information, access information. Etc. are included.

  In this case, the acquisition unit 34 newly assigns a transaction target ID to the sales information acquired from the shopping server 3b, and stores a transaction information table stored in the transaction target information DB 31 as affiliate information such as name, quantity, icon information, and access information. Set to. In addition, the acquisition unit 34 sets the newly assigned transaction target ID in association with the user ID of the transaction user in the user information table stored in the user information DB 32.

  In addition, when the terminal user makes a transaction target transaction based on the introduction information, the sales information transmitted from the shopping server 3b includes the user ID of the transaction user, an introduction target ID and quantity described later, and the like. In this case, the acquisition unit 34 sets the quantity in association with the transaction target ID corresponding to the introduction target ID in the transaction information table.

  As described above, when the acquisition unit 34 acquires the sales information, the acquisition unit 34 updates the transaction information table stored in the transaction target information DB 31 and the user information table stored in the user information DB 32 based on the sales information.

  Moreover, the acquisition part 34 updates the transaction information table memorize | stored in transaction object information DB31, and the user information table memorize | stored in user information DB32, when introduction information is transmitted with respect to the radio | wireless terminal 2 by the notification part 36. FIG. In this case, the acquisition unit 34 adds the transaction target ID obtained by adding or updating the end of the transaction target ID of the transaction target that is the target of the introduction information to the transaction information table. Note that the transaction target ID added in this way is referred to as an introduction target ID for convenience.

  For example, if the transaction target ID to be introduced to the wireless terminal 2 functioning as the second terminal 2b is “P100”, the acquisition unit 34 adds “P100a” to the transaction information table as the introduction target ID. If the transaction target ID to be introduced to the wireless terminal 2 functioning as the second terminal 2b is “P100a”, “P100b” is added to the transaction information table as the introduction target ID. In addition, the acquisition unit 34 adds the introduction target ID added to the transaction information table to the user information table in association with the user ID of the user of the wireless terminal 2 that functions as the first terminal 2a.

  Furthermore, the acquisition unit 34 sets a name, icon information, and access information corresponding to the newly added introduction target ID in the transaction information table. These pieces of information are the name, icon information, and access information of the transaction target ID that is the source of the introduction target ID. For example, the name, icon information, and access information of the introduction target ID “P100a” are the name, icon information, and access information of the transaction target ID “P100”.

  Further, when there is an affiliate stop request or an affiliate stop release request from the wireless terminal 2, the acquisition unit 34 updates the transaction information table stored in the transaction target information DB 31 based on the request. Specifically, the acquisition unit 34 sets the “introduction flag” corresponding to the transaction target ID included in the affiliate stop request to “0”. Further, the acquisition unit 34 sets the “introduction flag” corresponding to the transaction target ID included in the affiliate stop cancellation request from the wireless terminal 2 to “1”.

  The acquisition unit 34 acquires position information, image information, and odor information transmitted from the wireless terminal 2 and sets the acquired position information in the user information table of the user information DB 32 in association with the user ID.

[4.2. Determination unit 35]
The determination unit 35 determines whether or not the wireless terminal 2 that functions as the second terminal 2b exists within a predetermined range (for example, a range of 10 m) from the position of the wireless terminal 2 that functions as the first terminal 2a. That is, it is determined whether or not there is a wireless terminal 2 that satisfies the first condition described above.

  Specifically, the determination unit 35 extracts a transaction target ID whose introduction flag is set to “1” in the transaction information table stored in the transaction target information DB 31 as a transaction target ID to be determined. And the determination part 35 extracts the user ID matched with transaction object ID of determination object from the user information table memorize | stored in user information DB32 as user ID of the 1st terminal user of determination object.

  The determination unit 35 acquires position information corresponding to the determination target user ID from the user information table of the user information DB 32 as information indicating the determination target position. Further, the determination unit 35 uses the user ID of the other wireless terminal 2 having the position information indicating the position to be determined and the position existing within the predetermined range as the user ID of the second terminal user that satisfies the first condition. Extracted from the user information table of DB32. When the user ID of the second terminal user that satisfies the first condition can be extracted, the determination unit 35 determines that there is a wireless terminal 2 that satisfies the first condition.

8, the position P ₁ to P ₃ of the wireless terminal 2 ₁ to 2 ₃ is a diagram showing a relationship between a predetermined range Q. Wireless terminal 2 ₁ functions as a first terminal 2a, the wireless terminal 2 _2, 2 ₃ shall respectively function as a second terminal 2b. In the state illustrated in FIG. 8, the determination unit 35 determines the wireless terminal 2 ₂ as the wireless terminal 2 that satisfies the first condition, and determines the wireless terminal 2 ₃ as the wireless terminal 2 that does not satisfy the first condition. Predetermined range Q is in the range of a distance Xa around the wireless terminal 2 ₁ functioning as a first terminal 2a. Note that the predetermined range Q shown in FIG. 8 is a circular range, but may be an elliptical range or a rectangular range, and the size and shape of the predetermined range Q can be variously changed.

  The size and shape of the predetermined range Q can be set in units of affiliates or categories of affiliates (for example, home appliances, furniture, food, fashion, etc.), and can be constant regardless of the affiliates. it can. Such setting is performed by a provider (for example, a manufacturer, a sales company, a retailer, or the like) of a product or service that is an affiliate target, a terminal user, an administrator of the affiliate server 3a, or the like.

  For example, the setting by the terminal user is performed by the operation of the terminal user on the operation unit 22 of the wireless terminal 2, and information on the setting (hereinafter referred to as range setting information) is notified to the affiliate server 3a. For example, the acquisition unit 34 sets the range setting information acquired from the wireless terminal 2 in association with the transaction target ID in the user information table. In addition, when the acquisition unit 34 acquires range setting information from a terminal device or the like of a provider of a product or service that is an affiliate target (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a transaction target provider), the acquisition unit 34 acquires the acquired range setting information. Set in association with the transaction target ID in the transaction information table.

  In addition, it is possible to set the range setting information including a region (hereinafter referred to as a notification region) where the introduction information is notified in the affiliate target unit or the affiliate target category unit. In this case, the determination unit 35 determines the first condition described above when the position of the wireless terminal 2 functioning as the first terminal 2a or the position of the wireless terminal 2 functioning as the second terminal 2b exists in the notification area. I do. That is, the determination unit 35 determines that the introduction condition is not satisfied when the wireless terminal 2 functioning as the first terminal 2a or the second terminal 2b is outside the notification area. The determination unit 35 determines the first condition described above when both the wireless terminal 2 functioning as the first terminal 2a and the wireless terminal 2 functioning as the second terminal 2b exist in the notification area. You can also.

  Moreover, the determination part 35 can also change the magnitude | size of the predetermined range Q with a place based on range setting information. For example, the determination unit 35 can reduce the predetermined range Q near the terminal user's home and increase the predetermined range Q at a place where people gather. The determination unit 35 can also increase the predetermined range Q near the terminal user's home and decrease the predetermined range Q at a place where people gather. In this case, the location of the terminal user's home is set in the user information table, for example, and the place where people gather is set in the transaction information table, for example.

  Further, the determination unit 35 can add a time condition as the first condition. For example, the determination unit 35 is set within the predetermined range Q even when the wireless terminal 2 that functions as the second terminal 2b exists within the predetermined range Q from the position of the wireless terminal 2 that functions as the first terminal 2a. The wireless terminal 2 that does not exist for the time Ta or more can be determined not to satisfy the first condition. The set time Ta is also set by the terminal user or the like and acquired by the acquisition unit 34 in the same manner as the range setting information, and is set by the acquisition unit 34 in the user information table or the transaction information table. The determination unit 35 can also change the predetermined range Q and the set time Ta according to the terminal user's attributes, weather, season, day of the week, and the like.

  The determination unit 35 determines whether the attribute of the second terminal user who is the user of the wireless terminal 2 that satisfies the first condition has a predetermined relationship with the designated user attribute. That is, it is determined whether there is a second terminal user that satisfies the second condition described above in addition to the first condition.

  The second condition includes the condition A that the user attribute of the second terminal user is in a predetermined relationship with the designated user attribute that is the user attribute designated by the transaction target provider, and the attribute of the second terminal user is the first There is a condition B that the terminal user attribute is in a predetermined relationship.

  The determination unit 35 determines that there is a second terminal user that satisfies the second condition when the attribute of the second terminal user that satisfies the first condition satisfies one or both of the condition A and the condition B. The second condition is set in the transaction information table in the same manner as the predetermined range Q. For example, the second condition can be set by a transaction target provider, a terminal user, an administrator of the affiliate server 3a, or the like, and can also be set by an affiliate target unit or an affiliate target category unit.

  For example, only the condition A is set as the second condition for the affiliate target with the transaction target ID “P104” (see FIG. 6), and only the condition B is set as the affiliate target with the transaction target ID “P100” (see FIG. 6). There are two conditions. Further, the condition A and the condition B can be set as the second condition for the affiliate target of the transaction target ID “P105” (see FIG. 6).

  Here, the condition A will be described as the second condition. As described above, the condition A is that the user attribute of the second terminal user has a predetermined relationship with the designated user attribute. The predetermined relationship is, for example, that the user attribute of the second terminal user includes a designated user attribute, or that the user attribute of the second terminal user includes a user attribute associated with the designated user attribute.

  For example, in the case of the affiliate target “perfume D” with the transaction target ID “P103” (see FIG. 6), for example, “perfume” or “brand product” is set as the designated user attribute. The determination unit 35 determines that the second terminal user having the user ID in which “1” is set in the classification of “perfume” or “brand product” in the “psychographic attribute” of the user information table, the second terminal satisfying the condition A A user.

  Moreover, even if the user attribute of the second terminal user does not include the designated user attribute, the determination unit 35 is interested in the “perfume” based on the user information set in the user information table. When it is determined that there is, it can also be determined that the condition A is satisfied. For example, the determination unit 35 may determine that the second terminal user having the user attribute (user attribute related to the designated user attribute) that is “female in the 20s” is the second terminal user that satisfies the condition A. it can.

  Next, Condition B will be described as the second condition. Condition B is that the attribute of the second terminal user has a predetermined relationship with the attribute of the first terminal user, as described above. The predetermined relationship is, for example, that the degree of coincidence between the user attribute of the first terminal user and the user attribute of the second terminal user is equal to or greater than a predetermined value.

  The determination unit 35 determines the attribute of the first terminal user based on the information set in the user information table. For example, when the user ID “U1” is the first terminal user, the determination unit 35 has “car”, “male”, “20 years old”, and the like as user attributes.

  The determination unit 35 can analyze the “image information A” corresponding to the user ID “U1” and determine the user attribute of the first terminal user, for example. For example, the determination unit 35 detects the first terminal user's face, clothing, jewelry, hairstyle, shoes, bag, umbrella, and the like included in the image information A, and user information (gender, age, luxury item) from the detection result. Etc.) can also be determined.

  In addition, the determination unit 35 can analyze the “scent information A” corresponding to the user ID “U1” and determine the user attribute of the first terminal user, for example. “Odor information” is information indicating the detection amount of each chemical substance. For example, the determination unit 35 detects cosmetics or perfume used by the first terminal user from “odor information A”, and The food or beverage eaten by the first terminal user can be detected from the “scent information A”. Furthermore, the determination unit 35 can also detect a disease of the first terminal user from the “scent information A”.

  The determination unit 35 determines the user attribute of the first terminal user based on the detection result. For example, if the first terminal user wears perfume, the determination unit 35 determines that there is an attribute of “perfume”, and if it can detect that the perfume is a brand product, there is an attribute of “brand product”. Is determined. For example, if the food eaten by the first terminal user is a hamburger, the determination unit 35 determines that there is a “hamburger” attribute.

  When the “psychographic attribute” and “demographic attribute” set in the user information table are equal to or higher than a predetermined value (for example, 50%) between the first terminal user and the second terminal user, the determination unit 35 It can be determined that there is a second terminal user that satisfies the condition B. Further, the determination unit 35 is a user of the second terminal user in which the user attribute of the first terminal user determined based on the “image information” and “odor information” set in the user information table is set in the user information table. When it is included in the attribute, it can be determined that there is a second terminal user that satisfies the condition B.

  Thus, the determination unit 35 determines whether there is a wireless terminal 2 (second terminal 2b) that satisfies the introduction condition. In the above description, the introduction condition includes the first condition and the second condition. However, the introduction condition may be, for example, only the first condition.

  The determination unit 35 can also determine whether or not the second terminal user who satisfies the second condition but does not satisfy the first condition is within a predetermined distance (for example, 50 m) to the predetermined range Q. That is, from the viewpoint of the first terminal user side, the determination unit 35 can determine that there is a second terminal user who is highly likely to be a notification target of introduction information. Can determine that the introduction information is highly likely to be notified.

[4.3. Notification unit 36]
The notification unit 36 communicates information about affiliate-targeted products or services stored in the transaction target information DB 31 as introduction information to the wireless terminal 2 of the second terminal user determined to satisfy the introduction condition by the determination unit 35. It transmits from the part 30. Thus, the introduction information can be notified with the second terminal user as the introduction destination user.

  The introduction information transmitted to the second terminal user is information on the affiliated product or service, and includes the transaction target ID, name, icon information, access information, and the number of introductions of the product or service. The notification unit 36 reads the transaction target ID, name, icon information, access information, and the number of referrals to be introduced from the transaction information table, and transmits the read information to the wireless terminal 2 of the second terminal user. In addition, when the comment information is set in association with the transaction target ID, the notification unit 36 transmits the comment information together with the introduction information to the wireless terminal 2 of the second terminal user.

  In addition, the notification unit 36 becomes a notification target of introduction information when a second terminal user who satisfies the second condition but does not satisfy the first condition exists within a predetermined distance (for example, 50 m) to the predetermined range Q. It is possible to notify the first terminal user's wireless terminal 2 as notification information that the two-terminal user exists nearby and can be notified of the introduction information by approaching a little closer. Further, the notification unit 36 can notify the wireless terminal 2 of the second terminal user as notification information that the first terminal user having the affiliate information exists in the vicinity and that the introduction information is notified by approaching a little closer. .

[4.4. Giving unit 37]
The granting unit 37 gives an affiliate point as a reward to the first terminal user who is the introduction source user when the second terminal user to whom the introduction information is sent trades a transaction object corresponding to the introduction information.

  Based on the introduction target ID included in the sales information transmitted from the shopping server 3b or the store terminal 4, the granting unit 37 is the second terminal user who is the destination of the introduction information deals with the transaction target corresponding to the introduction information. It determines with a 2 terminal user, and gives an affiliate point to this 2nd terminal user.

  Specifically, the terminal user (first user who is the referral source) whose transaction target ID (introduction target ID) included in the sales information transmitted from the shopping server 3b or the store terminal 4 is set in the user information table. Affiliate points are granted to terminal users). For example, the granting unit 37 can set a predetermined ratio (for example, 5%) of the transaction price of the transaction target corresponding to the introduction target ID as an affiliate point.

  Moreover, the provision part 37 can assign | provide the affiliate point according to introduction object ID to the 1st terminal user who is an introduction origin user based on a user information table, for example. For example, the granting unit 37 has a transaction target ID (referral target ID) included in the sales information transmitted from the shopping server 3b or the store terminal 4 at the end of “a” rather than the affiliate point in the case of “b”. Set affiliate points low.

  The end “a” of the introduction target ID is a number given when the first terminal user introduces the transaction target traded without being based on the introduction information. Further, the end “b” of the introduction target ID is a number given when the transaction target traded by the first terminal user is introduced based on the introduction information of the introduction target ID at the end “a”.

  Note that the number given when the transaction target traded by the second terminal user based on the introduction information of the introduction target ID at the end “b” is introduced as the first terminal user is the end “c”. The granting unit 37 sets the affiliate point in the case of “c” lower than the affiliate point in the case where the end of the introduction target ID included in the sales information transmitted from the shopping server 3b or the store terminal 4 is “b”. In this way, the affiliate point is lowered every time it is introduced.

  The assigning unit 37 transmits information on the assigned affiliate points to the wireless terminal 2 of the first terminal user who is the introduction source user. Thereby, the 1st terminal user can grasp | ascertain the information of the assigned affiliate point.

  Moreover, when the same transaction object is introduced from the plurality of first terminal users to the same second terminal user, and the transaction object is traded, an affiliate point is given as a reward to each first terminal user. Give. The granting unit 37 can set the affiliate point to be higher as the introduction timing is earlier, and can be set to be higher as the introduction timing is later.

[5. Shopping server 3b]
Next, the shopping server 3b will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the shopping server 3 b includes a communication unit 40, a sales information DB 41, and a control unit 42. The control unit 42 further includes a sales processing unit 43 and a notification unit 44.

  The communication unit 40 is an interface such as a NIC. The control unit 42 transmits / receives various information to / from the affiliate server 3a and the wireless terminal 2 via the communication unit 40 and the communication network 5.

  The sales information DB 41 is, for example, a storage device such as a hard disk, a semiconductor memory element such as a RAM, a flash memory, or an optical disk. The sales information DB 41 includes information on shopping pages, information on products and services that are transactions, and the like.

  The control unit 42 is realized by an integrated circuit such as ASIC or FPGA, for example. The control unit 42 functions as the sales processing unit 43 and the notification unit 44 by executing a program stored in an internal storage device by the CPU or MPU using the RAM as a work area. Note that the configuration of the control unit 42 is not limited to this configuration, and may be another configuration as long as information processing described later is performed.

  The sales processing unit 43 provides a shopping page for access from the wireless terminal 2 based on the information stored in the sales information DB 41, and deals with a purchase request transmitted from the wireless terminal 2 on the shopping page. Perform sales processing for the target. The sales process is, for example, a settlement process or shipping arrangement. When the sales processing unit 43 performs the sales processing for the transaction target, the sales processing unit 43 sends a sales processing completion notification to the wireless terminal 2 that has transmitted the purchase request.

  The notification unit 44 acquires information on a transaction target sold to the terminal user from the sales information DB 41, and transmits the information to the affiliate server 3a as sales information to the terminal user. The sales information transmitted by the notification unit 44 includes, for example, the user ID of the terminal user of the sales destination in addition to the name, quantity, icon information, access information, and sales date information of the transaction target.

  The sales date / time is, for example, the date / time when the sales processing unit 43 performed the sales processing for the transaction. In addition, when the transaction target sold to the terminal user is a transaction target that has been transacted based on the introduction information, the notification unit 44 is configured to obtain the transaction target ID (introduction target ID) acquired from the terminal user and the transaction quantity or introducer's The user ID is transmitted to the affiliate server 3a as sales information to the terminal user.

[6. Processing flow of affiliate system 1]
Next, the procedure of the information provision process by the affiliate system 1 which concerns on embodiment is demonstrated. FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 are diagrams for explaining the affiliate processing flow by the affiliate system 1. In the following, the process of the wireless terminal 2 will be described with reference to FIG. 9, and the process of the affiliate server 3a will be described with reference to FIG.

[6.1. Processing flow of wireless terminal 2]
First, information processing of the wireless terminal 2 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a flowchart of information processing in the wireless terminal 2.

  As shown in FIG. 9, when the affiliate application is activated by the operation of the terminal user, the control unit 27 of the wireless terminal 2 determines whether user registration is performed (step S20). If it determines with user registration not being performed (step S20; No), the control part 27 will perform a user registration process (step S21).

  In the user registration process, the control unit 27 displays a user setting registration screen (not shown) on the display unit 21 and prompts the terminal user to input registration information. The registration information includes a user ID, a password, and user attributes (gender, age, address, etc.). When registration information is input, the control unit 27 transmits a registration request including the registration information to the affiliate server 3a.

  When it is determined that the user registration is performed (step S20; Yes), or when the process of step S21 is completed, an affiliate application display process is performed (step S22). Specifically, the control unit 27 generates an image of the display screen 50 (for example, see FIG. 4) based on the target information table stored in the storage unit 23 and displays it on the display unit 21.

  Next, the control unit 27 transmits the image information captured by the imaging unit 25 and the odor information detected by the odor detection unit 26 to the affiliate server 3a (step S23). The image information and the odor information are information acquired by the imaging unit 25 and the odor detection unit 26 by a user operation, but the control unit 27 periodically acquires the odor information from the odor detection unit 26 and sends it to the affiliate server 3a. It can also be sent.

  When the process of step S23 ends, the control unit 27 transmits the position information detected by the position detection unit 24 to the affiliate server 3a (step S24). And the control part 27 determines whether the information was acquired from the server 3 (step S25). In this process, the control unit 27 determines, for example, whether sales information or introduction information has been acquired from the affiliate server 3a, or whether a sales process completion notification has been acquired from the shopping server 3b.

  If it determines with having acquired information from the server 3 (step S25; Yes), while the control part 27 updates a transaction object table, it will perform the re-display process of an affiliate application (step S26). For example, when acquiring the sales information from the affiliate server 3a, the control unit 27 sets an affiliate icon 60 corresponding to the acquired sales information on the display screen 50 and displays it on the display unit 21, and introduces the introduction information from the affiliate server 3a. If acquired, an introduction icon 61 corresponding to the acquired introduction information is set on the display screen 50 and displayed on the display unit 21.

  In addition, when acquiring the sales process completion notification from the shopping server 3b in response to the purchase request for the introduction product, the control unit 27 changes the introduction icon 61 corresponding to the acquired sales process completion notification to the affiliate icon 60 and displays the display screen. It can also be set to 50 and displayed on the display unit 21.

  When it determines with not acquiring information from the server 3 in step S25 (step S25; No), or when the process of step S26 is complete | finished, the control part 27 sets the affiliate icon 60 set to the display screen 50, or It is determined whether or not the introduction icon 61 has been selected (step S27).

  If it determines with the icon having been selected (step S27; Yes), the control part 27 will transmit the information corresponding to the icon selected according to the selection method (step S28). For example, assume that the introduction icon 61 is selected by a user operation. In this case, if the access information corresponding to the introduction icon 61 is the URL of the shopping server 3b, the control unit 27 makes a purchase request corresponding to the introduction icon 61 to the shopping server 3b. If the access information corresponding to the introduction icon 61 is barcode information, the control unit 27 displays a two-dimensional barcode corresponding to the access information and the user ID of the terminal user on the display unit 21.

  When it is determined that the icon is not selected (step S27; No), or when the process of step S28 is completed, the control unit 27 determines whether or not the terminal user has performed an affiliate application termination operation. (Step S29).
