  The mini game control unit 425 controls web services provided to users who access the campaign site. For example, as will be described later, in the case of a mini game such as a roulette, control for causing the user to play the mini game is performed.

  The storage unit 43 includes a web page database 431, a seal ID database (photographing ID storage unit) 432, and an access history information database (access history information storage unit) 433.

  The web page storage unit 431 stores web page content information including information such as web services provided to the user.

  The sticker ID database 432 stores sticker IDs sent from the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 and corresponding to photographing performed by the user.

  The access history information database 433 includes mobile terminal identification information (model identification information, UID, etc.) of a mobile phone that has transmitted an access request from a user who uses each campaign site, and the user requests access to the campaign site. Stores access history information such as the number of transmissions.

  Processing performed by the information management system 100 including the management server 4 will be described in detail later.

  The management server 4 may have an image server function for receiving the image data created by the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 and storing and managing the image data. Further, another server having this image server function may be provided in the information management system 100. In addition, each function of the management server 4 may be realized by a plurality of servers, and the management server 4 may be configured as a server group.

(Method for generating URL of website corresponding to individual seal ID)
The URL 1 (web access information) of the website corresponding to the seal ID generated corresponding to the shooting performed by the user can be generated by the web page URL generation unit 421 as follows, for example.

http://xxxxx.com/?id=yyyyyyyyyyy%3d&hash=zzzzzzzzzzz&course=1 (URL1)
First, in URL 1, “http://xxxxx.com/” indicates the domain name of the management server 4 capable of transmitting / receiving data to / from the photo sticker creating apparatus 1. For example, “xxxxx” shown here may be the name (name) of the photo sticker creating apparatus 1.

  Next, in the part of “? Id = yyyyyyyyyyy% 3d”, “yyyyyyyyyyy% 3d” (first information) obtained by encoding the seal ID using a decodable algorithm (first method) (base 64 or the like) Show. For example, “% 3d” is a result of URL encoding “=”. Two “% 3d” may be added.

  Next, “hash = zzzzzzzzzzz” following “&” is a character string obtained by hashing using a hash function (second method) after adding a common key to “yyyyyyyyyyy% 3d” as a salt. It is.

  An example of the hash function is MD5 (Message Digest Algorithm 5). MD5 is one of algorithms called a hash function, and outputs a 128-bit hash value (message digest) from arbitrary length data (numerical data). Note that the algorithm used to obtain the hash value “zzzzzzzzzzz” (second information) here is not limited to MD5, and other hash value algorithms can also be suitably used.

  Here, hashing is performed after adding a common key to “yyyyyyyyyyy% 3d”. This common key is a character string that only the administrator of the website can know. If this common key is not known, “yyyyyyyyyyy% 3d” (first information) is decrypted from “zzzzzzzzzzz” (second information). I can't. Conversely, if this common key is known, “yyyyyyyyyyy% 3d” can be decrypted from “zzzzzzzzzzz”. That is, this common key is used to prevent unauthorized access in server management.

  The URL 1 includes information on the shooting mode (shooting course) selected by the user in shooting associated with the seal ID. The last “course” indicates a shooting course (shooting mode). For example, when two types of natural (Natural) and perfect (Perfect) can be selected as the shooting mode, the shooting mode selected by the user is 1 if natural, 2 if perfect.

  Note that the number of characters such as “xxxxx”, “yyyyyyyyyyy% 3d”, and “zzzzzzzzzzzzz” of URL1 illustrated here has no meaning, and may be any length, any type of character, number, and symbol. . In addition, although the description is mainly made using alphabets such as “x”, “y”, and “z” here, the present invention is not limited to this, and any character, number, or symbol that can be used as access information on the Internet. Good.

  Thus, by generating URL1, the web page management unit 422 can derive the seal ID corresponding to the shooting performed by the user from the URL1 included in the access request.

  Further, the web page management unit 422 assigns a secret common key to the derived seal ID and performs hashing, so that the management server 4 has a valid URL indicated by the access request transmitted from the mobile terminal. It can be determined whether or not there is.

  That is, the web page URL generation unit 421 does not decrypt the URL-encoded seal ID corresponding to the seal ID generated by the photo sticker creation apparatus 1 and the URL-encoded seal ID (first information) to a third party. A URL including a hash value obtained by conversion using a possible method (second method) is generated, and the mail transmission unit 412 transmits a mail including the URL to the smartphone 6. Further, based on the URL included in the access request received from the smartphone 6, the web page management unit 422 acquires a URL-encoded seal ID. Then, the web page management unit 422 calculates a hash value hashed by assigning a secret common key to the acquired seal ID, and acquires the calculated hash value (third information) and the smartphone 6. The hash value (second information) included in the URL is collated.

  As a result, the web page management unit 422 determines the legitimacy of access from the user based on the URL that has been subjected to hash conversion using a secret common key that is not disclosed to a third party. Even if a simple user generates a URL without permission based on the seal ID, it can be substantially impossible to generate a valid URL.

(Processing performed by the information management system 100)
Hereinafter, processing performed by the information management system 100 will be described with reference to FIG. The specific examples shown in FIGS. 15 to 18 will be referred to as appropriate.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart illustrating the flow of processing performed by the information management system 100. In FIG. 14, in order to avoid duplication with FIG. 11, the process before the user performs the subsequent customer service process (S <b> 7 in FIG. 11) using the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 is omitted. In addition, the processing already described in FIG. 11 is given the same reference numerals as those used in FIG.

  In S71, on the tablet built-in monitor 161 of the post-service unit 210, a screen requesting input of the email address (mobile terminal access information) of the smartphone 6 owned by the user is displayed (operation request). Note that the user can input one or more e-mail addresses. Photo sticker creation games are often played by multiple users at once. Therefore, the seal ID issued corresponding to the photographing process performed by the user can be associated with the email addresses of a plurality of users' smartphones.

  For example, m users (n ≧ m ≧ 1) are selected from the n users who have performed the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 (n ≧ 2) in the editing process. The selected m persons enter the email address (mobile terminal access information) of their smartphone (smart phone 6a, smartphone 6b; see FIG. 1).

  As described above, it is preferable to notify a plurality of users of the URL used for accessing the web page. Thereby, while the number of users who accessed the web page can be increased appropriately, the repeat rate of the photo sticker creation game using the photo sticker creation device 1 can be improved.

  In S72, after acquiring the input of the e-mail address by the user, the tablet built-in monitor 161 of the post-service section 210 displays a screen as shown in FIG. 15 (a), and the user who played the photo sticker creation game A mini-game to be performed by a user who accesses a specially-designed campaign site and a web service obtained based on the result of the mini-game are presented.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of a screen display to be displayed on the tablet built-in monitor 161 of the post-service department of the photo sticker creating apparatus 1, and (a) is displayed before sending a mail to the user's smartphone 6. Screen display, (b) is a screen display that is displayed after sending the user's email to the smartphone 6. As shown in FIG. 15A, for example, a mail transmission button P is arranged on the screen display. Although described in (b), if mail could not be sent, a message to that effect is displayed. In this case, in order to correct the inequality with the case where the mail is transmitted, for example, a URL may be displayed on the screen so that the user can access it.

  In S73, the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 is generated for the photographing performed by the user when the mail transmission button P shown in FIG. 15A is pressed (touched) by the user. The seal ID and the user's mail address are associated with each other and transmitted from the communication unit 203 to the management server 4. The information in which the seal ID generated for the photographing performed by the user is associated with the user's mail address is hereinafter referred to as user information.

  Note that the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 may perform a mini game, a questionnaire, or the like using the post-service area A3 separately from the above for the user who waits for discharge of the sticker paper. In S8, the sticker paper is discharged, and the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 finishes a series of processing of the photo sticker creating apparatus.

  When the receiving unit 411 of the management server 4 receives user information from the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 in S401 (receiving step), the web page URL generating unit 421 of the management server 4 in S402 (access information generating step) URLs individually corresponding to the seal ID and mail address included in the user information are generated. The generated URL is stored in the access history information database 433.

  In step S <b> 403, the web page management unit 422 of the management server 4 creates an e-mail including the URL generated by the web page URL generation unit 421.

  In S404 (notification step), the mail transmission unit 412 transmits the e-mail to the user using the e-mail address of the smartphone 6, and notifies the URL. At this time, the tablet built-in monitor 161 of the post-service unit 210 may display a screen as shown in FIG. 15B to notify the user that the e-mail has been transmitted.

  In S601, the smartphone 6 possessed by the user receives an email including the URL of the campaign site.

  FIG. 16 is an example of the contents of an e-mail transmitted from the management server 4 to the smartphone 6. The sender of the e-mail received by the smartphone 6 uses the name “XXXX” of the photo sticker creation device 1, and the user can easily understand that the notification is about the photo sticker creation game that he / she has played. . Then, the mini-game to be performed by the user who has accessed the campaign site specially provided for the user who has received the e-mail and the web service obtained based on the result of the mini-game are presented to the user. The name “XXXX” of the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 may be any name that the user can recognize as the photo sticker creating apparatus 1, and any character string, symbol, or the like may be used.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the e-mail includes a link Q for transmitting an access request to the URL of the campaign site. For example, a character string “challenge” is given to the link Q by a user who challenges the mini game.

  In S <b> 602, when the user clicks on the link Q, the smartphone 6 transmits an access request to the URL assigned to the link Q to the management server 4.

  In S405, the receiving unit 411 of the management server 4 receives an access request including a URL.

  In S <b> 406, when receiving the access request from the smartphone 6, the web page management unit 422 of the management server 4 acquires the URL-encoded seal ID included in the access request. Information stored in the access history information database 433 is read for the number of times an access request including the acquired URL-encoded seal ID has been received in the past (access history information).

  In step S407, the web page management unit 422 determines whether the number of times the access request has been received in the past is equal to or less than a predetermined number. Below, the case where the upper limit of the number of times that a web site can be provided using a campaign site is set to 2 (predetermined number) will be described.

  If the access request including the seal ID has already been made for the third time or later, the access request has been made more than a predetermined number of times, so that it cannot be accepted and the campaign site cannot be accessed on the web. On the other hand, if the access request including the seal ID is still less than or equal to the second time, the access request is accepted because it is less than the predetermined number, and the campaign site can be accessed on the web.

  If there are two users who have received an e-mail containing the URL of the campaign site, if one user previously accesses the campaign site twice, an access request sent by the other person Is determined to be the third time or later, and the web service of the campaign site cannot be provided.

  Therefore, even when the access request including the seal ID is still less than the second time, it is desirable to identify the user who has transmitted the access request and limit the number of accesses.

  Therefore, in S408 (web service management step), when an access request is received, it is determined whether or not the smartphone 6 that transmitted each access request has already made a web access to the campaign site once. For example, in this determination, the access history of each smartphone 6 can be determined using whether or not the cookie of the campaign site is included in the access request.

  In S409, when a cookie is included in the access request, the web page management unit 422 determines that the access request to the campaign site is invalid, and the web access from the smartphone 6 to the campaign site is denied.

  FIG. 18 is a diagram showing an example of a page for notifying the accessing user that the information management system 100 has made an access request more than a predetermined number of times, and (a) shows a page to a predetermined web page. An example of invalidating access, (b) is an example of guiding a user to a web page different from a predetermined web page.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 18 (a), when an access request more than a predetermined number of times has already been made, it is determined that the access request to the campaign site is invalid for the access request, and a photo sticker is created. You may make it perform a photo sticker creation game anew using the apparatus 1. FIG. Also, as shown in FIG. 18 (b), when an access request is made more than a predetermined number of times, a web page including a different mini-game that is different from the campaign site in response to the access request, etc. The user may be guided to.

  If the cookie is not included in the access request in S410, the web page management unit 422 determines that the access request to the campaign site is valid, and the web access from the smartphone 6 to the campaign site is approved. Further, the web page management unit 422 updates the access history information in the access history information database 433.

  Note that when the user makes an access request using a mobile phone or the like instead of a high-function mobile terminal such as a smartphone, the access history using the cookie cannot be generally determined. Therefore, when an access request transmitted from the mobile phone is received, the user access information acquisition unit 423 acquires mobile terminal identification information such as the UID of the mobile phone that transmitted the access request, and the access history information database 433. And sent to the web page management unit 422. The web page management unit 422 refers to whether or not the same UID as the UID is stored in the access history information database 433 from the user access information acquisition unit 423, so that the number of times an access request is made from the mobile phone Can be determined.

  In step S411, the web page management unit 422 of the management server 4 selects campaign site information stored in the web page database 431.

  In S <b> 412, a cookie for the campaign site is generated in the cookie generation unit 424 of the management server 4.

  In S <b> 413, the web page management unit 422 transmits the cookie to the smartphone 6 together with the campaign site information transmitted to the smartphone 6 that transmitted the access request.

  In S603, the smartphone 6 acquires campaign site information, and the user starts using the campaign site.

  Here, the case has been described where the upper limit of the number of times that a web site can be provided using a campaign site is set to 2 (predetermined number), but URLs can be given to any number of users. E-mails including can be sent to provide web services fairly from the campaign site.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating an example of a web page generated by the management server 4, where (a) shows an example of a page for allowing the user to play a mini game, and (b) and (c) show the results of the mini game. It is an example of a page to be.

  In FIG. 17, an example including a roulette (mini game G) is given as an example of the configuration of the campaign site. By touching the roulette stop button R included in the screen display displayed on the smartphone 6, the mini game G can be played a predetermined number of times. As a result, the game result is determined according to a predetermined “win” / “out” rule.

  Note that the display of the mini game G and the prize provided by the mini game are the shooting course (natural / perfect) selected by the user when the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 is used, and the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 performs the post-service processing. You may make it change according to the attribute (age etc.) of the user who could be acquired by making a user input. Note that the shooting course selected by the user when using the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 can be included in the URL used for the access request as exemplified by the URL 1. Information such as user attributes can be included in user information sent from the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 to the management server 4.

  The mini game G is not limited to roulette, and the user may be allowed to play any game with a clear “win” / “out” rule as the mini game G. When the result of the mini game G is “out of place”, the screen display as shown in FIG. 17C is shown to the user, and when the result of the mini game G is “win”, ( As shown in b), a screen display including a link L to a page for inputting personal information such as an address for receiving a web service provided by the campaign site is shown to the user.

  That is, the management server 4 accepts an access request for the URL of the campaign site from the smartphone 6, and if the number of accesses using the URL of the campaign site is equal to or less than the predetermined number N, the management server 4 In the case where the use of the site (first web service) is provided and the number of times of access using the URL of the campaign site is greater than the predetermined number N, in response to the access request of the smartphone 6, the site including another game A web page management unit 422 (web service management unit) that provides usage (second web service) may be provided.

  The management server 4 accepts an access request for the URL of the campaign site from the smartphone 6, and if the number of accesses using the URL of the campaign site is equal to or less than the predetermined number N, the access request for the smartphone 6 is valid. If the number of accesses using the URL of the campaign site is greater than the predetermined number N, a web page management unit 422 (web service management unit) that determines that the access request of the smartphone 6 is invalid may be provided.

(How to limit the number of visits to the campaign site)
FIG. 14 shows a process for limiting the number of accesses to the campaign site, and in particular, an example in which the campaign site cookie is transmitted to the smartphone 6 has been described.

  However, the process for limiting the number of accesses to the campaign site is not limited to this. For example, an identification code (session ID) is automatically allocated from the server side to a user who accesses the campaign site for the first time, and the accessed smartphone 6 can be specified using this identification code.

  As described above, a management method in which the user access information acquisition unit 423 acquires mobile terminal identification information such as a UID that can identify each mobile phone is also effective.

  When the management server 4 receives an access request including the URL of the campaign site from the mobile phone, the user access information acquisition unit 423 acquires information such as a UID that identifies an individual smartphone previously assigned to the mobile phone. . The access history information database 433 stores information such as the UID acquired by the user access information acquisition unit 423 in association with the URL included in the access request. At this time, the accumulated access count from the access request received in the past may be stored.

  When the web page management unit 422 receives an access request using the URL of the campaign site, information such as the UID of the mobile phone that transmits the access request acquired by the user access information acquisition unit 423 is stored in the access history information database 433. Is already stored. Thereby, the owner of the mobile phone that has transmitted each access request can be specified.

  Furthermore, if the UID has already been stored, the number of times this access request is made can be determined by referring to the number of accesses so far stored in the access history information database 433. It is also possible to determine.

(How to manage access rights to the campaign site)
In addition to the above-described method of managing access to the campaign site using the cookie of the campaign site included in the access request of the smartphone 6 and the UID of the mobile phone, the information management system 100 can access the campaign site. An access authority management method will be described.

  The management server 4 stores the seal ID acquired by the web page management unit 422 or the web page URL generation unit 421 in the seal ID database 432 as indicated by the URL included in the received access request.

  When the seal ID indicated by the URL included in the access request from the smartphone 6 is not stored in the seal ID database 432, the web page management unit 422 invalidates the access request received from the smartphone 6 regardless of the number of accesses. It may be determined that the access is incorrect. As a result, it is possible to detect an unauthorized access request from the smartphone 6 of a person who has not taken a picture using the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 (no authority to access the campaign site) and reject the access request.

(Example of using Twitter (registered trademark))
When the web page management unit 422 approves the access request from the user and determines that the campaign site is provided, the web page management unit 422 is configured to perform a tweet process using Twitter (registered trademark) before displaying the campaign site page. You may control. In this case, the web page management unit 422 first causes the smartphone 6 to display a login screen using the Twitter API. Here, when Twitter login information is input by the user, a post for starting a mini-game on the campaign site is made as a tweet by the user. This posted content is provided by the web page management unit 422 as a fixed sentence.

  In addition, even when the mini game on the campaign site ends and the mini game is successful, such as winning a certain product, the web page management unit 422 may perform control so that the tweet processing by Twitter is performed. In this case, when the login information of Twitter is input by the user before the mini game is started, the web page management unit 422 makes a posting that the mini game is successful by using the information. This posted content is also provided by the web page management unit 422 as a fixed sentence. The posted content may be changed depending on the success of the mini game.

  As described above, when the tweet is made with Twitter as the campaign site is used, it becomes possible to promote the campaign site through Twitter. Therefore, the presence of the campaign site can be informed to a wider user.
