The content management process is a process of registering the content registered in the management server 5 for the mobile terminal 2 so that another mobile terminal 3 can acquire the content. The content management unit 517 performs content management processing based on the received content setting request signal. Details of the content management process will be described later.

  Next, the content management unit 517 sends, via the server communication unit 501, a setting response signal indicating whether or not the content specified by the content setting request signal has been set so that the mobile terminal 3 can acquire the content. It transmits to the portable terminal 2 (step S719). Thus, the content registration process ends.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart illustrating an example of an operation flow of content management processing by the management server 5. The operation flow shown in FIG. 17 is executed in step S718 of the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, the content management unit 517 of the management server 5 determines whether or not a friendship is set between the user of the mobile terminal 2 and the user of the mobile terminal 3 (step S801). In the friend relationship management table, the content management unit 517 stores the user ID of the user of the mobile terminal 2 and the user ID of the user of the mobile terminal 3 in association with each other, and when the status is “approved”, It is determined that a friendship is set between the user and the user of the mobile terminal 3. On the other hand, when the user ID of the user of the mobile terminal 2 and the user ID of the user of the mobile terminal 3 are not stored in association with each other or when the state is not “approved”, the content management unit 517 sets the friendship relationship. Judge that it is not.

  Next, when the content management unit 517 determines that the friendship is not set (step S801-No), the content management unit 517 ends the series of steps without performing any particular processing. On the other hand, when the content management unit 517 determines that the friendship is set (step S801—Yes), the content management unit 517 sets the mobile terminal 3 to acquire content corresponding to the content ID included in the content setting request signal ( Step S802), a series of steps is completed. In the content management table, the content management unit 517 includes the user ID of the mobile terminal 3 included in the content setting request signal, the mobile terminal 2 as the shared user ID, the provided user ID, and the shared date and time of the shared user information associated with the content ID. Each user ID and time information are stored. In this case, the content management unit 517 stores the fact that the sharing setting has been made from a remote location in the shared location of the shared user information.

  In this way, the content management unit 517 allows other mobile terminals 3 to acquire content registered for the mobile terminal 2 on the condition that the user of the mobile terminal 2 and the user of the mobile terminal 3 are in a friendship relationship. sign up. In addition, the content management unit 517 is set so that the content registered for the mobile terminal 2 can be acquired by the other mobile terminal 3 even when the user of the mobile terminal 2 and the user of the mobile terminal 3 are away from each other. The portable terminal 2 can execute the content registration process from an arbitrary position.

  FIG. 18 shows an example of an operation sequence of content acquisition processing by the communication system 1. In this content acquisition process, an example in which the mobile terminal 3 acquires content registered for the mobile terminal 2 will be described.

  The operation sequence described below is executed in cooperation with each element of each device mainly by the control unit of each device based on a program stored in advance in the storage unit of each device.

  First, the operation unit 203 of the mobile terminal 3 accepts an instruction to display the acquisition content list screen by the user (step S901). The acquisition content list screen is a screen representing a list of contents registered for the mobile terminal 3 in order to select content to be acquired by the mobile terminal 3.

  Next, when the operation unit 203 receives an instruction to display the acquisition content list screen, the content reception unit 244 transmits an acquisition content list screen request signal to the management server 5 via the wireless communication unit 201 (step S902). . The acquisition content list screen request signal is a signal for requesting acquisition of acquisition content list screen data for generating an acquisition content list screen. The acquisition content list screen request signal includes the user ID of the user of the mobile terminal 3.

  Next, when the content management unit 517 of the management server 5 receives the acquisition content list screen request signal from the mobile terminal 3 via the server communication unit 501, the content management unit 517 generates acquisition content list screen data (step S903). The content management unit 517 reads, from the content management table, each piece of content information whose registered user ID or shared user ID matches the user ID included in the received acquisition content list screen request signal, and acquires content list screen data Is generated.

  Next, the content management unit 517 transmits the generated content list screen data for acquisition to the mobile terminal 3 via the server communication unit 501 (step S904).

  Next, when the content reception unit 244 of the mobile terminal 3 receives the acquisition content list screen data from the management server 5 via the wireless communication unit 201, the acquisition content list screen is based on the received acquisition content list screen data. Is generated and displayed on the display unit 204 (step S905).

  FIG. 19A shows an example of an acquisition content list screen. As shown in FIG. 19A, the acquisition content list screen 1900 displays, for each content, a character display 1901 that displays the title and details of the content, and a content detail screen that displays details of the content. A “details” button 1902 for deleting the contents and a “delete” button 1903 for deleting the contents are displayed. When the content is registered by another mobile terminal and set so that the mobile terminal 3 can acquire the content, a “release” button 1904 is displayed instead of the “delete” button 1903. Further, an “end” button 1905 for ending the display is displayed on the acquisition content list screen 1900. The content list screen 1900 for acquisition includes the content “Hokkaido Sightseeing Guide” registered by the user of the mobile terminal 3 and the mobile terminal 2 registered by the mobile terminal 2 executing the content registration process of FIG. "Okinawa Sightseeing Guide" is displayed.

  Next, the operation unit 203 receives an instruction to display a content detail screen by a tap operation of the user's “details” button 1902 (step S906).

  Next, when the operation unit 203 receives a content detail screen display instruction, the content reception unit 244 transmits an acquisition request signal to the management server 5 via the wireless communication unit 201 (step S907). That is, the content reception unit 244 transmits an acquisition request signal to the management server 5 in accordance with a user instruction using the operation unit 203. The acquisition request signal is a signal for requesting acquisition of content for which a display instruction has been accepted. The acquisition request signal includes the user ID of the user of the mobile terminal 3 and the content ID of the content for which an instruction to display the content detail screen has been issued. The content specified by the acquisition request signal includes content registered by the mobile terminal 3 and content registered by another mobile terminal 2 set so that the mobile terminal 3 can acquire the content.

  Next, when the content transmission unit 518 of the management server 5 receives the acquisition request signal from the mobile terminal 3 via the server communication unit 501, the content transmission unit 518 performs a transmission determination process (step S908). The transmission determination process is a process of determining whether or not to transmit the content specified in the acquisition request signal to the mobile terminal 3. Details of the transmission determination process will be described later.

  Next, when the content transmission unit 518 of the management server 5 determines that the content is to be transmitted in the transmission determination process, the content transmission unit 518 generates content detail screen data including the content specified by the acquisition request signal (step S909). The content transmission unit 518 reads each piece of information associated with the content ID included in the received content detail screen request signal from the content management table, and generates content detail screen data. On the other hand, when it is determined in the transmission determination process that the content is not transmitted, the content transmission unit 518 generates content detail screen data indicating that the content cannot be transmitted.

  Next, the content transmission unit 518 transmits the generated content detail screen data to the mobile terminal 3 via the server communication unit 501 (step S910).

  Next, when the content receiving unit 244 of the mobile terminal 3 receives the content detailed screen data from the management server 5 via the wireless communication unit 201, the content receiving unit 244 generates a content detailed screen based on the received content detailed screen data and displays the content detailed screen data. It is displayed on 204 (step S911). Thus, the content acquisition process ends.

  FIG. 19B shows an example of a content detail screen. As shown in FIG. 19B, the content detail screen 1910 displays a title 1911 of the content, detailed content 1912, and a “return” button 1913 for returning to the acquisition content list screen 1900.

  Note that when the content detail screen data is received, the content reception unit 244 may manage the content included in the received content detail screen data so as to restrict use other than the display on the display unit 204. Further, the content receiving unit 244 may delete the content at the timing when the display of the content detail screen data is terminated. As a result, it is possible to prevent other users from secondary use of data created by a specific user. In addition, by deleting the content registered in the management server 5, each mobile terminal can no longer display the content, and the content can be centrally managed.

  Further, when the content transmission unit 518 of the management server 5 receives the acquisition request signal, the content transmission unit 518 may transmit the address where the content is stored instead of transmitting the content detail screen data. In that case, the content receiving unit 244 receives the content and displays it on the display unit 204 by accessing the received address.

  FIG. 20 is a flowchart illustrating an example of an operation flow of transmission determination processing by the management server 5. The operation flow shown in FIG. 20 is executed in step S908 of the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, the content transmission unit 518 of the management server 5 determines whether or not the content corresponding to the content ID included in the received acquisition request signal is registered by the mobile terminal 3 or can be acquired by the mobile terminal 3. Is determined (step S1001). In the content management table, the content transmission unit 518, when any of the registered user ID and the shared user ID associated with the content ID included in the received acquisition request signal matches the user ID of the mobile terminal 3, It is determined that the content is registered by the mobile terminal 3 or set so that the mobile terminal 3 can acquire the content. On the other hand, when neither the registered user ID nor the shared user ID associated with the content ID included in the received acquisition request signal matches the user ID of the mobile terminal 3 in the content management table, the content transmission unit 518 It is determined that the content is not registered by the mobile terminal 3 and is not set to be acquired by the mobile terminal 3.

  Next, when the content transmission unit 518 determines that the content is not registered by the mobile terminal 3 and is not set to be acquired by the mobile terminal 3 (step S1001-No), the content transmission unit 518 determines not to transmit the content. (Step S1002), and a series of steps is completed.

  On the other hand, when the content transmission unit 518 determines that the content is registered by the mobile terminal 3 or is set so that the mobile terminal 3 can acquire the content (step S1001-Yes), the content transmission unit 518 determines to transmit the content ( Step S1003).

  Next, the privilege provision part 519 provides a privilege to the portable terminal 3 which is the provision source of the content transmitted to the portable terminal 2 (step S1003), and complete | finishes a series of steps. The privilege granting unit 519 adds a predetermined value to the points stored in association with the user ID of the user of the mobile terminal 3 in the user management table. With this point, the user of the mobile terminal 3 can obtain benefits such as merchandise and coupons from a specific business operator.

  In addition, in place of or in addition to the case where the content is transmitted to another mobile terminal, the privilege granting unit 519 sets the content that can be acquired by the other mobile terminal. You may give a privilege to a terminal. In that case, the privilege grant part 519 grants a privilege to the portable terminal 2 immediately after step S802 of FIG.

  FIG. 21 shows an example of an operation sequence of content deletion processing by the communication system 1. In this content deletion process, an example in which the mobile terminal 3 deletes registered content will be described.

  The operation sequence described below is executed in cooperation with each element of each device mainly by the control unit of each device based on a program stored in advance in the storage unit of each device. Note that the processing of steps S1101 to S1105 is the same as the processing of steps S901 to S905 shown in FIG. 18, and thus description thereof will be omitted. Only steps S1106 to S1108 will be described below.

  In step S1106, the operation unit 203 of the mobile terminal 3 accepts a content deletion instruction by a tap operation of the “delete” button 1903 by the user (step S1106).

  Next, when the operation unit 203 receives a content deletion instruction, the content reception unit 244 transmits a deletion request signal to the management server 5 via the wireless communication unit 201 (step S1107). That is, the content receiving unit 244 transmits a deletion request signal to the management server 5 in accordance with a user instruction using the operation unit 203. The deletion request signal is a signal for requesting deletion of the content of the mobile terminal 3 that has received the deletion instruction. The deletion request signal includes the user ID of the user of the mobile terminal 3 and the content ID of the content for which deletion has been instructed.

  Next, when the content management unit 517 of the management server 5 receives the deletion request signal from the portable terminal 2 via the server communication unit 501, the content management unit 517 performs the deletion process (step S1108) and ends the series of steps.

  FIG. 22 is a flowchart illustrating an example of an operation flow of the deletion process by the management server 5. The operation flow shown in FIG. 22 is executed in step S1108 of the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, the content management unit 517 of the management server 5 determines whether the content corresponding to the content ID included in the received deletion request signal is content registered by the mobile terminal 3 (step S1201). If the registered user ID associated with the content ID included in the received deletion request signal matches the user ID of the mobile terminal 3 in the content management table, the content management unit 517 registers the content with the mobile terminal 3. It is determined as content. On the other hand, if the registered user ID associated with the content ID included in the received deletion request signal does not match the user ID of the mobile terminal 3 in the content management table, the content transmission unit 518 stores the content in the mobile terminal 3. It is determined that the content is not registered.

  If the content is content registered by the mobile terminal 3 (step S1201-Yes), the content management unit 517 deletes the content (step S1202). The content management unit 517 deletes the content itself by deleting all information related to the content from the content management table. On the other hand, if the content is not the content registered by the mobile terminal 3 (step S1201-No), the content management unit 517 does not delete the content (step S1203). That is, the content management unit 517 does not delete the content even if it receives a deletion request signal from a mobile terminal other than the mobile terminal that registered the content.

  As a result, when it is found that there is a problem with the content, the user of the mobile terminal that has registered the specific content can delete the content itself so that it cannot be viewed from other mobile terminals. Further, it is possible to prevent the content from being deleted from a mobile terminal other than the mobile terminal that registered the content.

  In addition, the content management unit 517 may delete the content in accordance with an instruction from the administrator of the management server 5 using an operation unit (not shown) of the management server 5. Thereby, when inappropriate content is registered, the administrator can delete the content.

  FIG. 23 shows an example of an operation sequence of content release processing by the communication system 1. In this content release processing, an example will be described in which the mobile terminal 3 is set so that content that can be acquired cannot be acquired.

  The operation sequence described below is executed in cooperation with each element of each device mainly by the control unit of each device based on a program stored in advance in the storage unit of each device. Note that the processing in steps S1301 to S1305 is the same as the processing in steps S901 to S905 shown in FIG. 18, and thus description thereof will be omitted. Only steps S1306 to S1308 will be described below.

  In step S1306, the operation unit 203 of the mobile terminal 3 accepts a content release instruction by a tap operation of the “release” button 1904 by the user (step S1306).

  Next, when the operation unit 203 receives a content release instruction, the content reception unit 244 transmits a release request signal to the management server 5 via the wireless communication unit 201 (step S1307). That is, the content reception unit 244 transmits a release request signal to the management server 5 in accordance with a user instruction using the operation unit 203. The release request signal is a signal for requesting that the content of another mobile terminal set so that the mobile terminal 3 that has received the release instruction can be acquired so that the mobile terminal 3 cannot acquire the content. The release request signal includes the user ID of the user of the mobile terminal 3 and the content ID of the content for which the release instruction has been issued.

  Next, when the content management unit 517 of the management server 5 receives the release request signal from the mobile terminal 2 via the server communication unit 501, the content management unit 517 performs the release process (step S1308) and ends a series of steps.

  FIG. 24 is a flowchart illustrating an example of an operation flow of release processing by the management server 5. The operation flow shown in FIG. 24 is executed in step S1308 of the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, the content management unit 517 of the management server 5 determines whether or not the content corresponding to the content ID included in the received release request signal is the content set so that the mobile terminal 3 can acquire (step). S1401). If any of the shared user IDs associated with the content ID included in the received release request signal matches the user ID of the mobile terminal 3 in the content management table, the content management unit 517 The content is determined to be acquired by the terminal 3. On the other hand, if any of the shared user IDs associated with the content ID included in the received release request signal does not match the user ID of the mobile terminal 3 in the content management table, the content transmission unit 518 It determines with the content not being set so that the portable terminal 3 can acquire.

  If the content is a content set so that the mobile terminal 3 can acquire the content (step S1401-Yes), the content management unit 517 sets the content so that the mobile terminal 3 cannot acquire the content (step S1402). In the content management table, the content management unit 517 deletes the shared user information whose shared user ID is the user ID of the mobile terminal 3 from among the shared user information associated with the content, so that the content is stored in the mobile terminal 3. Is set so that cannot be acquired. On the other hand, if the content is not content that can be acquired by the mobile terminal 3 (step S1401-No), the content management unit 517 does not set the content so that the mobile terminal 3 cannot acquire it (step S1403). That is, even if the content management unit 517 receives a release request signal from a mobile terminal other than the mobile terminal 3 (including the mobile terminal 2 that registered the content), the content management unit 517 does not set the mobile terminal 3 so that the content cannot be acquired. .

  Thereby, the user of the portable terminal set so that specific content can be acquired can be set so that the content cannot be acquired when the content is unnecessary. In addition, it is possible to prevent the content once set to be obtainable from being set so that it cannot be obtained by another mobile terminal.

  The relationship between the mobile terminal 2, the mobile terminal 3, and the management server 5 has been described above. However, the mobile terminal 3 that is set so that the content registered by the mobile terminal 2 can be acquired and the mobile terminal 4 are close to each other. Even when the distance wireless communication becomes possible, the same processing as described above is performed.

  FIGS. 25A and 25B are schematic diagrams for explaining the relationship between the mobile terminal 2, the mobile terminal 3, and the mobile terminal 4. As shown in FIG. 25 (a), when the mobile terminal 2 and the mobile terminal 3 are close to each other and short-range wireless communication is possible, the mobile terminal 2 follows the sequence and flowchart shown in FIGS. Is registered so that the portable terminal 3 can acquire the content.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 25 (b), when the mobile terminal 3 moves and approaches the mobile terminal 4 to enable short-range wireless communication, the sequences and flowcharts shown in FIGS. Accordingly, the content registered by the mobile terminal 2 and set so as to be acquired by the mobile terminal 3 is set so that the mobile terminal 4 can further acquire the content. That is, the server communication unit 501 of the management server 5 receives from the mobile terminal 3 the user ID of the mobile terminal 3 and the user ID of the mobile terminal 4 that the mobile terminal 3 has received from the mobile terminal 4 through short-range wireless communication. . The content profile determination unit 513 determines whether the content profile information of the mobile terminal 3 matches the user profile information of the mobile terminal 4. When the content profile information of the mobile terminal 3 and the user profile information of the mobile terminal 4 match, the content management unit 517 carries the content associated with the content profile information of the mobile terminal 3, that is, the content registered by the mobile terminal 2. The terminal 4 is set so that it can be acquired.

  Thereafter, between the mobile terminal 3, the mobile terminal 4, and the management server 5, the mobile terminal 2, the mobile terminal 3, and the management server 5 are implemented according to the sequences and flowcharts shown in FIGS. The same processing as that to be performed is performed.

  In this way, the content registered by the mobile terminal 2 can be propagated to the mobile terminal 4 approaching the mobile terminal 3 via the mobile terminal 3 approaching the mobile terminal 2. It is possible to propagate to other mobile terminals that are close to 4.

  As described above, when the management server 5 receives from the portable terminal 2 the user identification information of the portable terminal 2 and the user identification information of the portable terminal 3 received by the portable terminal 2 by short-range wireless communication, It is determined whether or not the content profile information of the terminal 2 matches the user profile information of the mobile terminal 3. If they match, the management server 5 sets the mobile terminal 3 so that the mobile terminal 3 can acquire the content associated with the content profile information of the mobile terminal 2. Therefore, the user of the portable terminal 3 can acquire content registered by the nearby portable terminal 2. In addition, since the content whose profile information does not match the user profile information of the mobile terminal 3 is not set so that the mobile terminal 3 can acquire it, the user of the mobile terminal 3 appropriately acquires only the content that suits hobbies, preferences, etc. It becomes possible to do.

  Similarly, the management server 5 sequentially sets the contents set so as to be acquired by the mobile terminal 3 so that other mobile terminals near the mobile terminal 3 can also be acquired. Therefore, each content can be spread to other users who are interested in the content.

  The management server 5 sets a friendship between the user of the mobile terminal 2 and the user of the mobile terminal 3 on condition that the user profile information of the mobile terminal 2 matches the user profile information of the mobile terminal 3. . And the management server 5 is set so that the portable terminal 3 can acquire the content of the portable terminal 2 on condition that the friendship is set between the user of the portable terminal 2 and the user of the portable terminal 3. Therefore, users who have the same user profile information and have the same hobbies / preferences can share the content corresponding to the user profile information, and the content is spread to other users who have the same hobbies / preferences. It becomes possible to do.

  Moreover, the portable terminal 2 does not display the friendship request confirmation screen when the user profile information of the portable terminal 2 and the user profile information of the portable terminal 3 do not match. Therefore, the user of the mobile terminal 2 does not need to confirm whether or not to request a friendship even if the user of the other mobile terminal does not match his / her hobbies / preferences. You can only build friendships.

  When the friendship relationship is set between the user of the mobile terminal 2 and the user of the mobile terminal 3, the management server 5 regardless of whether the mobile terminal 2 and the mobile terminal 3 are in short-range wireless communication, The mobile terminal 2 is set so that the content of the mobile terminal 2 can be acquired. Therefore, for example, when the user of the mobile terminal 3 who is in a friendship relationship is in a soccer stadium, the user of the mobile terminal 2 can receive content such as a discount ticket for soccer goods from a position away from the mobile terminal 3. It can be set so that it can be acquired by any user. This content can be acquired by many other users who are interested in soccer in the soccer stadium by the mobile terminal 3 performing short-range wireless communication. It is possible to diffuse this content.

  Further, the management server 5 associates and stores the shared user ID of each content, the provided user ID, the shared location where the shared user can acquire the content, and the shared date and time in the content management table. Therefore, the administrator of the management server 5 can grasp the flow line and time that each content expands, and provides the content provider with information on the flow line and time for efficiently expanding each content. can do.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, in the present embodiment, the mobile terminal 2 transmits a user setting request signal, a content setting request signal, a friendship request signal, or an acquisition request signal to the management server 5 in accordance with a user instruction using the operation unit 203. As described above, the mobile terminal 2 may automatically transmit each signal to the management server 5.

  In the present embodiment, the example in which the mobile terminal 2 on the side detected in the short-range communication transmits a determination request signal to the management server 5 has been described, but the mobile terminal 3 on the detected side requests the management server 5 to make a determination request. A signal may be transmitted. Similarly, the mobile terminal 3 may transmit a friendship request signal to the management server 5, the mobile terminal 2 may perform a friendship permission determination process, and transmit a permission signal or a rejection signal to the management server 5. Similarly, the mobile terminal 3 may perform the content registration process of FIG. 15, and the mobile terminal 2 may execute the content acquisition process of FIG. 18, the content deletion process of FIG. 21, and the content release process of FIG. .

  In addition, the management server 5 may analyze each content registered from the mobile terminal 2 and automatically determine the corresponding content profile information from terms included in the content. Further, when the mobile terminal 2 accesses the management server 5, the management server 5 performs authentication processing of the mobile terminal 2 using a user ID and password registered in advance, thereby ensuring the safety of the registered content. May be secured. Further, the management server 5 may set prohibited terms and the like in advance, determine whether the prohibited terms are included in the content, and prohibit registration of the content including the prohibited terms.

  In addition, as a terminal of this embodiment, instead of the portable terminal 2, a fixed terminal that is carried by the user and cannot be moved may be used and may be arranged in a specific store or the like. By using this fixed terminal, the store advertisement, product catalog, coupon, etc. are registered in the management server 5, so that when the user of another mobile terminal visits the store, By performing short-range wireless communication with the terminal, each information can be efficiently distributed to the users who have visited the store. Also, by arranging this fixed terminal in a car or the like and moving around the store, it is possible to efficiently distribute each information to other users who live around the store.

  It should be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, substitutions and modifications can be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
