Hereinafter, as an embodiment, a service providing system using a management server according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
<First Embodiment>
<1. Overview of service provision system>
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a service providing system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The service providing system 100 includes a communication network NET such as the Internet, a management server 1 (an example of a management device), a user terminal device 2, and an external management server 3 (an example of an external device) that provides an SNS site.
The management server 1 provides golf information application services such as information services and community services related to golf (an example of a predetermined service) to golf users U1 (an example of a first user).
In addition, although this embodiment demonstrates and demonstrates a golf information application service as an application service (henceforth a "1st service") which the management server 1 provides, the management server 1 is a game etc. Application services related to application provision, travel information provision including hotel reservations, concert information provision, service and article sales, etc. may be provided.

  The external management server 3 provides SNS (hereinafter may be referred to as “second service”) to the SNS user U2 (an example of the second user). On the SNS website, SNS users U2 are provided with tools (for example, bulletin boards, mails, chats, etc.) for SNS users U2 to communicate with each other. In addition, on the SNS website, the SNS user U2 of the action source makes a friend application, and the SNS user U2 of the action destination approves this, whereby the SNS friendship relationship that is a specific relationship between the SNS users U2 Is built. The external management server 3 manages SNS friend information (an example of external specific relationship information) indicating an SNS friend relationship (external specific relationship) that is a specific relationship between the SNS users U2.

In the SNS provided by the external management server 3, not only a bulletin board, e-mail, and chat can be used, but also social applications such as games and practical tools can be used. This social application may be provided by a provider other than the provider of the SNS, and whether or not to use the social application or which social application to use is arbitrarily determined by the SNS user U2. It can be decided. When the SNS user U2 wishes to use a social application, the social application accesses the personal information of the SNS user U2 or SNS friend information on the SNS, or the social application is the SNS user U2. In some cases, permission may be sought for functions such as posting on bulletin boards. Depending on the social application, the SNS user U2 may be a user of the social application with permission for these functions. Since such a social application generally displays the screen of the social application in the SNS site, the SNS user U2 uses one of the services provided by the SNS (second service). You will use social applications like that.
The golf information application service (first service) provided by the management server 1 of the present embodiment is a service provided by a social application as described above as an example. In this embodiment, in order for SNS user U2 to become golf user U1 who is a user of a golf information application, a golf information application accesses the personal information of the said SNS user U2, and the friend information on SNS. Approval is made for functions and functions that the golf information service posts on a bulletin board or the like instead of the SNS user U2. When the SNS user U2 performs this approval, the SNS user U2 becomes the golf user U1.

The user terminal device 2 includes an input unit 24 including a numeric keypad and a mouse, and a display 25 (display unit) that displays a screen. The terminal device 2 can communicate via the communication network NET, and corresponds to, for example, a personal computer, a mobile phone, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or the like.
The golf information application service provided by the management server 1 is provided to the golf user U1 via the terminal device 2, and the SNS provided by the external management server 3 is provided to the SNS user U2 via the terminal device 2. .

Only the SNS user U2 who is a SNS user provided by the external management server 3 can receive the golf information application service from the management server 1. That is, only the SNS user U2 can be registered in the management server 1 as the golf user U1. In other words, the golf user U1 is always the SNS user U2, but some of the SNS users U2 are not the golf user U1. In other words, the set of golf users U1 is included in the set of SNS users U2.

When the profile or usage history of the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg are similar, a common topic in which both the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg are interested compared to the case where they are not similar (For example, it is estimated that there is a high possibility that a common golf player, a common golf course, etc.) exist. That is, when the profiles or usage histories of the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg are similar, it is estimated that there is a high possibility that communication will be established between the two compared to the case where they are not similar. In addition, when the target user Utg is interested in the predetermined golf user U1a, it is estimated that there is a high possibility that communication is established between the two compared to a case where the target user Utg does not show interest. .
That is, when the predetermined golf user U1a tries to communicate with the target user Utg in which the affinity mark S is displayed in the vicinity of the profile image Pg, the golf user who does not display the affinity mark S It is estimated that there is a high possibility that communication will be established compared to the case where communication is attempted with respect to U1.
For this reason, it is expected that the predetermined golf user U1a tries to communicate actively (without hesitation) due to the presence of the affinity mark S. As a result, the communication between the golf users U1 is entirely performed. It is expected to be activated as
And as above-mentioned, in this embodiment, since the affinity mark S is "information which recommends inviting an other party to golf", it can raise the frequency with which golf users U1 mutually invite to golf, and a result As a result, the frequency of golf user U1 going to golf can be increased.

In the present embodiment, the affinity mark S is “the use of a predetermined golf to invite a partner (a target user Utg whose affinity mark S is displayed in the vicinity of the profile image Pg) to golf (an example of a predetermined service). Information recommended to the person U1a ", but the affinity mark S is not limited to this, and may be" information recommended to the predetermined golf user U1a to send some information to the opponent ". Good.
In short, the affinity mark S is any information as long as it is information that increases the interest (or creates interest) of the predetermined golf user U1a and provides a “trigger” for communication between the two. Also good.
The service providing system 100 gives each golf user U1 an opportunity for communication between the golf users U1 to activate the communication between the golf users U1 as a whole.

The presence of the affinity mark S displayed on the My Page of the predetermined golf user U1a may be configured not to be disclosed to golf users U1 other than the predetermined golf user U1a. It may be configured to be disclosed to a golf user U1 other than the user U1a, or a specific person (for example, a direct golf chum Ug), and whether or not to disclose the predetermined golf user U1a May be settable.
For example, in the example shown in FIG. 11, the affinity mark S is displayed in the vicinity of the profile image Pg [U1b] of the golf user U1b displayed on the my page of the predetermined golf user U1a. When configured so as not to be disclosed to anyone other than the user U1a, only the predetermined golf user U1a can know the presence of the affinity mark S, and the direct golf chum Ug of the predetermined golf user U1a and the predetermined golf Not only the indirect golf chum Ugg of the user U1a but also the golf user U1b corresponding to the profile image Pg [U1b] on which the affinity mark S is displayed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent information relating to the privacy of the predetermined golf user U1a, such as the size of the connection between the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg, from being disclosed to other than the predetermined golf user U1a. it can.
On the other hand, when the presence of the affinity mark S is configured to be disclosed to golf users U1 other than the predetermined golf user U1a, for example, the direct golf chum Ug of the predetermined golf user U1a, When the direct golf chum Ug who can know his / her own page displays his / her own page, the affinity between the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg is increased, for example, the affinity mark S and the predetermined golf use Displayed using a line connecting the user U1a and the target user Utg. Therefore, it is expected that the direct golf chum Ug who recognizes this will cause behavior such as inviting to golf including the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg.

One record includes SNS friend information, that is, action source identification information UID, action destination identification information UID, status, and application date and time. The action source (friend application sender) is the SNS user U2 who transmitted the friend application, and the action destination (friend application receiver) is the SNS user U2 who received the friend application. The status indicates the status of the friend application, and “0” indicates that the application is in progress and “1” indicates acceptance. In the example shown in FIG. 14, the SNS user U2 whose identification information UID is “z0000” transmits a friend application to the SNS user U2 whose identification information UID is “z0006” and is approved.

FIG. 15 shows the data structure of the golf user information table TBL11. A plurality of records are recorded in the golf user information table TBL11. One record includes identification information UID that uniquely identifies the golf user U1, a registration date, and profile information. The profile information includes golf user attribute information and golf profile information.
In the present embodiment, the identification information UID of the golf user U1 matches the identification information UID of the SNS user U2. However, the identification information UID of the SNS user U2 and the identification information UID of the golf user U1 do not necessarily need to match, and may differ. In this case, what is necessary is just to match and record the identification information of SNS user U2 and the identification information of golf user U1 with the record of golf user information table TBL11.
The golf user attribute information includes, for example, information such as the sex, age, address, and e-mail address of the golf user U1. In the present embodiment, the age of each golf user U1 is recorded in the age of the golf user information table TBL11, but the birthday of the golf user U1 may be recorded.
The golf profile information includes, for example, the round frequency rank, practice frequency rank, average score, golf history, and the like of the golf user U1. Here, the round frequency rank is a value representing the round frequency of the golf user U1, and is generated based on the round frequency set by the golf user U1 on the profile information setting screen G8. The practice frequency rank is a value representing the golf practice frequency of the golf user U1, and is generated based on the practice frequency set by the golf user U1 on the profile information setting screen G8. Hereinafter, the round frequency rank and the practice frequency rank may be collectively referred to as a frequency rank, and the round frequency and the practice frequency may be collectively referred to as a frequency.

  Golf user information table TBL11 may record other information. For example, the golf user attribute information may include the link destination of the profile image Pg of the golf user U1. Further, as information to be stored in the golf user information table TBL11, the identification information UID of the golf user U1 is essential, but other information may be omitted. Further, the golf user information table TBL11 may be composed of a plurality of tables linked with key information (for example, identification information UID), and may be a relational database.

The relationship between the frequency rank (round frequency rank, practice frequency rank) and the frequency (round frequency and practice frequency) is recorded in the set value management master table TBL17a shown in FIG.
FIG. 25 shows the data structure of the set value management master table TBL17a. A plurality of records are recorded in the set value management master table TBL17a. One record includes option 1, option 2, and frequency rank. In option 1, contents displayed in pull-down B81 and B83 of the profile information setting screen G8 are recorded. In option 2, the contents displayed in the pull-down menus P82 and P84 of the profile information setting screen G8 are recorded. That is, the frequency of a round (or practice) such as “monthly”, “2 to 3 times”, or the like is represented by the combination of option 1 and option 2. The frequency rank is a value representing the rank of the frequency represented by the combination of option 1 and option 2. For example, when the frequency “monthly” or “2 to 3 times” is selected in the pull-down of the profile information setting screen G8, the rank is “5”. The frequency rank increases as the round frequency (or practice frequency) increases.
In the present embodiment, the option 1 displays four contents “yearly”, “monthly”, “weekly”, and “almost never”, and the option 2 is “five times or more”. , “2 to 3 times” and the like are displayed, but this is merely an example. The choice 1 and the choice 2 may be anything as long as the frequency can be expressed. For example, the option 1 may display only two contents “yearly” and “almost never go”.

FIG. 16 shows the data structure of the login state management table TBL13. A plurality of records are recorded in the login state management table TBL13. One record contains the identification information UID which identifies the golf user U1 uniquely, and login state management information.
The login state management information includes the last login date and time, the last action date and time, the last logout date and time, and the login state of the golf user U1. The login state is information (flag) indicating whether or not the golf user U1 is in the login state. “1” is displayed when the golf user U1 is logged in, and “0” when the user is logged out. Is recorded. For example, FIG. 16 shows an example in which a golf user U1 whose identification information UID is “z0001” logged in at 20:40 on May 13, 2012 and is still logged in. The date and time when each golf user U1 last logged in is recorded as the last login date and time, and the date and time when each golf user U1 logged out last is recorded as the last logout date and time. In the final action date and time, the date and time of the action that the golf user U1 who is logged in last took is recorded.
When there is no action of the logged-in golf user U1 for a certain period, that is, when the interval between the date and time recorded in the last action date and the current time is larger than a predetermined interval, the login state of the golf user U1 is “1” is changed to “0”, and the golf user U1 is forcibly logged out.

FIG. 17 shows the data structure of the user log management table TBL15. A plurality of records are recorded in the user log management table TBL15. One record includes log identification information LID for uniquely identifying an action taken by the golf user U1 in the golf information application service, and access history information.
The access history information includes the identification information UID, time stamp, action type, access destination information, and comment information of the golf user U1. By referring to the user log management table TBL15, who (identification information UID), when (time stamp), where accessed (access destination information), what action occurred at the access destination (action type), In addition, it is possible to know what comment (comment information) was made at the access destination.
Note that the access destination information and comment information may be collectively referred to as input history information.

In the action type, the type of action that has occurred by each golf user U1 is recorded.
Specifically, when the golf user U1 invites the golf user U1's direct golf chum Ug or indirect golf chum Ugg to golf by clicking the button B51 that invites the golf on the request transmission screen G5, that is, In the case of “inviting another person to golf”, “1” is recorded in the action type of the record in which the identification information UID of the golf user U1 is recorded. When the golf user U1 clicks the transmission button B11 on the posting screen G1 and “transmits information”, “2” is recorded as the action type. When the golf user U1 clicks the full text display button B21 on the comment display screen G3 to display the comment display screen G3, that is, when “views information transmitted by another person”, the action type is “3”. Is recorded. Golf user U1 likes comment display screen G3! When the button B31 is clicked, that is, when the user clicks the “Like button for information transmitted by another person”, “4” is recorded as the action type. When the golf user U1 inputs a response comment in the input area A32 of the comment display screen G3 and clicks the send button B32 to “comment on information transmitted by another person”, the action type is “5”. Is recorded. When the golf user U1 clicks a title such as news on the news list screen G6 and displays the news detail screen G7 to “view the distribution information”, “6” is recorded as the action type. Golf user U1 likes news detail screen G7! When the button B71 is clicked, that is, when the “like button is clicked on the distribution information”, “7” is recorded as the action type. When the golf user U1 clicks the send button B72 on the news detail screen G7 and “comments on the distribution information”, “8” is recorded as the action type. When the golf user U1 clicks the profile image Pg of the direct golf chum Ug or the indirect golf chum Ugg of the golf user U1 and “views other person's profile information”, “9” is recorded in the action type. Is done. When the golf user U1 “logs in” to the golf information application service, “10” is recorded as the action type. When the golf user U1 “logs out” from the golf information application service, “11” is recorded as the action type.

Note that “commenting” (action type “5”) for “information sent by others” (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “other people's outgoing information”) means “clicking the Like button”. Compared with (action type “4”), the action is deeply involved in the transmission information of the other person.
Similarly, “commenting” distribution information (action type “8”) is more deeply involved in the distribution information than “clicking a like button” (action type “7”). It is an action.
Hereinafter, the degree of involvement in action transmission information (or distribution information) is referred to as “degree of participation”. If the degree of involvement is strong (that is, deeply involved), the degree of involvement is high. For example, the action of type “5” has a higher degree of involvement than the action of type “4”, and the action of type “4” has a higher degree of participation than the action of type “3”. The action of type “8” has a higher degree of involvement than the action of type “7”, and the action of type “7” has a higher degree of participation than the action of type “6”.

As shown in FIG. 17, the access destination information includes an access destination UID, an access destination news ID, and an access destination comment ID. Although illustration is omitted, the access destination information may include an access destination address, an access destination screen name, and the like.
When the golf user U1 takes an action for another golf user U1, the identification information UID of the other golf user U1 that is the target of the action is recorded in the access destination UID. For example, when a predetermined golf user U1a browses the profile information of another golf user U1b on the profile information display screen G2, or browses the outgoing information of another golf user U1b on the comment display screen G3 When the other golf user U1 is invited to golf on the request transmission screen G5, the identification information UID of the other golf user U1b is recorded in the access destination UID. However, when the action caused by the golf user U1 is not for the golf user U1, for example, when the distribution information is viewed by accessing the news detail screen G7, the access destination UID is blank.
When the golf user U1 takes action on the distribution information, the access destination news ID records a news ID that uniquely identifies the distribution information such as news that is the target of the action. For example, when the golf user U1 accesses the news detail screen G7 and browses the distribution information, when the user clicks the “Like” button for the distribution information, the user “comments” the distribution information. In such a case, a news ID for identifying the distribution information is recorded in the access destination news ID. However, when the action caused by the golf user U1 is not for the distribution information, the access destination news ID is blank.
When the golf user U1 takes an action on the transmission information of another golf user U1 (the comment posted by the other golf user U1), the access destination comment ID includes the transmission of the other golf user U1. A comment ID for uniquely identifying information is recorded. For example, when a predetermined golf user U1a replies a comment to the transmission information of another golf user U1b on the comment display screen G3, the transmission information of the other golf user U1b is uniquely identified. The comment ID is recorded in the access destination comment ID. However, when the action caused by the golf user U1 is not for a comment of another golf user U1, the access destination comment ID is blank.

The comment information includes a comment ID and comment content. In the comment ID, when the golf user U1 makes an information transmission (when a comment is posted), a comment ID given to the golf user U1 transmission information (comment) is recorded. In addition, when golf user U1 comments with respect to the transmission information of another golf user U1, comment ID is provided also to the said comment. The content of the outgoing information (comment) of the golf user U1 is recorded in the comment content.
The time stamp indicates the date and time when the golf user U1 took action (strictly, the date and time when the record is recorded in the user log management table TBL15).

In the present embodiment, the access history information of each golf user is recorded in a user log management table TBL15 (FIG. 17) for a predetermined period, for example, 20 days. Then, based on the user log management table TBL15, individual log files FL (first individual log file FL1, second individual log file FL2) are created or updated.
As described above, the individual log file FL (first individual log file FL1, second individual log file FL2) is created or updated for each golf user U1.
The individual log file FL of each golf user U1 is created or updated when the golf user U1 logs in. In the present embodiment, the golf user U1 also logs in the individual log file FL of the direct golf chum Ug of the golf user U1 and the individual log file FL of the indirect golf chum Ugg of the golf user U1. Sometimes created or updated. That is, when a predetermined golf user U1a logs in, the individual log file FL of the predetermined golf user U1a and the individual log file FL of the target user Utg are created or updated.
The individual log file FL of the predetermined golf user U1a and the individual log file FL of the target user Utg are periodically or after the predetermined golf user U1a logs in after the predetermined golf user U1a logs in. It may be updated when a My Page is refreshed using a web browser function or the like after login, or when a predetermined golf user U1a logs out. In addition, each individual log file FL is recorded when the direct golf chum Ug or the indirect golf chum Ugg (target user Utg) of the golf user U1 corresponding to the individual log file FL logs in or by the target user Utg. It may be updated when the screen is refreshed or when the user logs out.

18A and 18B show the structures of the first individual log file FL1 and the second individual file FL2, respectively. The first individual log file FL1 indicates an action caused by a predetermined golf user U1a. That is, the first individual log file FL1 is obtained by extracting a record in which the identification information UID of the predetermined golf user U1a is recorded as the identification information UID from the plurality of records recorded by the user log management table TBL15. is there. The second individual log file FL2 indicates an action that has occurred to a predetermined golf user U1a. That is, the second individual log file FL2 is obtained by extracting a record in which the identification information UID of a predetermined golf user U1a is recorded as an access destination UID from a plurality of records recorded in the user log management table TBL15. is there.
18A and 18B illustrate the first individual log file FL1 and the second individual log file FL2 of the golf user U1 whose identification information UID is “z0001”.

Based on the profile information recorded in the golf user information table TBL11, the generation unit 15 generates a state value x33 representing the absolute value of the difference value between the two round frequency ranks, and generates the generated state value x33. Based on this, an individual evaluation value K33 is calculated. Based on the profile information recorded in the golf user information table TBL11, the generation unit 15 generates a state value x34 representing the absolute value of the difference value between the two practice frequency ranks, and generates the generated state value x34. Based on this, an individual evaluation value K34 is calculated. The production | generation part 15 produces | generates the state value x35 showing the absolute value of the difference value of the said 2 persons' score based on the profile information currently recorded on golf user information table TBL11, and based on the produced | generated state value x35 The individual evaluation value K35 is calculated. The generation unit 15 generates a state value x36 indicating the number of the two common golf friends Uk based on the profile information recorded in the golf user information table TBL11, and based on the generated state value x36, An individual evaluation value K36 is calculated.

19 to 22 show the data structure of the point management table TBL16.
A plurality of records are recorded in the point management table TBL16. One record includes a state value type, a score assignment condition, and a score. The state value type represents the type of the state values x11 to x36 described above. The score is a value given to the individual evaluation values K11 to K36 when the state values x11 to x36 match the conditions shown in the score granting conditions.

  In the present embodiment, the storage unit 19 stores one score management table TBL16, and manages the relationship between the state values x11 to x36 and the individual evaluation values K11 to K36 with one score management table TBL16. An individual score management table may be stored for each of the state values x11 to x36. In this case, each score management table only needs to store a score assignment condition and a score in association with each other.

  Hereinafter, the state values x11 to x36 and the individual evaluation values K11 to K36 will be described with reference to FIGS.

As described above, the generation unit 15 generates the state value x11 representing the login state of the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg.
More specifically, based on the login state management information recorded in the login state management table TBL13 (FIG. 16), the generation unit 15 is logging in both of the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg. It is determined whether or not there is. As described above, the generation unit 15 calculates the affinity Ps (and the state value x11) during the period in which the predetermined golf user U1a is logged in. U1a determines that login is in progress.
When the generation unit 15 determines that the target user Utg is logged in at the time of generation, the generation unit 15 sets the state value x11 to “5”.
On the other hand, if the generation unit 15 determines that the target user Utg is not logged in, the last logout date and time and the current time of the target user Utg (that is, the generation time when the generation unit 15 calculates the affinity Ps) ) Is calculated. The generation unit 15 sets the state value x11 to “4” when the interval is within 15 minutes, and sets the state value x11 to “4” when the interval is greater than 15 minutes and within 30 minutes. If the interval is set to “3” and the interval is greater than 30 minutes and within 1 hour, the state value x11 is set to “2” and the interval is greater than 1 hour and within 2 hours In this case, the state value x11 is set to “1”, and when the interval is longer than 2 hours, the state value x11 is set to “0”.
Next, the generation unit 15 is a record in which the state value x11 is recorded in the state value type from the plurality of records recorded in the point management table TBL16 illustrated in FIG. Identify records that meet the conditions recorded in. And the production | generation part 15 sets the value currently recorded on the score of the said specified record to the separate evaluation value K11.

As shown in FIG. 19, the individual evaluation value K11 shows a larger value as the login histories of the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg approximate. For example, when the state value x11 is “5”, “5” is set to the individual evaluation value K11, and when the state value x11 is “0”, “0” is set to the individual evaluation value K11. .
If the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg are both logged in, communication is easily established between the two, and the predetermined golf user U1a easily invites the target user Utg to golf. In the present embodiment, since the generation unit 15 generates the affinity Ps based on the individual evaluation value K11 indicating the degree of approximation of the login history of the two people, the affinity mark S is considered in consideration of the ease of establishment of communication. Whether to display or not can be determined.

As above-mentioned, the production | generation part 15 represents the kind of action which the said 2 person took in the 1st period with respect to the information transmitted from the common golf chum Uk of predetermined | prescribed golf user U1a and object user Utg. A value x12 is generated.
More specifically, the generation unit 15 accesses the access history information recorded in the first individual log file FL1 of the predetermined golf user U1a and the access recorded in the first individual log file FL1 of the target user Utg. Based on the history information, the type of action that the two persons took during the first period is specified for one piece of transmission information transmitted from the two common golf chum Uk. When the two persons “comment” at least once in the first period with respect to the transmission information, the generation unit 15 sets the state value x12 to the type of common action caused by the two persons. Is set to “5”. In addition, the two people “click the like button” at least once in the first period, and at least one of the two persons “comments” in the first period for the transmission information. If not, the generation unit 15 sets the state value x12 to “4”. The two persons “browse” the transmission information at least once in the first period, and at least one of the two persons “comments” and “good” on the transmission information in the first period. If the user has not clicked “Ne!” Button, the generation unit 15 sets the state value x12 to “3”. Both “clicking the Like button” and “commenting” on the transmission information are premised on “browsing” the transmission information. Therefore, when a predetermined golf user U1a “comments” the transmission information and the target user Utg “browses” the information, the two people “browse” the information together. Become. That is, if the action “view” of the two people is performed in the first period, the state value x12 is set to “3”.
On the other hand, if at least one of the two people did not “browse” the transmission information during the first period, that is, at least one of the two persons did not transmit the transmission information during the first period. If no action is taken, the generation unit 15 does not generate the state value x12 corresponding to the transmission information.
In addition, when there are a plurality of pieces of transmission information from the common golf chum Uk, and two persons “browse”, “click a like button”, or “comment” with respect to the plurality of pieces of transmission information, the generation unit 15 A plurality of state values x12 corresponding to the plurality of pieces of outgoing information in a one-to-one manner are generated.

The generation unit 15 is a record in which the state value x12 is recorded in the state value type from the plurality of records recorded in the point management table TBL16 illustrated in FIG. 19, and the state value x12 is recorded in the score assignment condition. Identify records that meet the specified conditions. And the production | generation part 15 sets the value currently recorded on the number | score of the specified record to the separate evaluation value K12. For example, when the state value x12 indicates “5”, the individual evaluation value K12 is set to “0.6”, and when the state value x12 indicates “0”, the individual evaluation value K12 is set to “0”. Is done.
Note that when the plurality of state values x12 are generated, the generation unit 15 sets the total value of the plurality of points corresponding to the plurality of state values x12 as the individual evaluation value K12. For example, when the values indicated by the three status values x12 generated corresponding to the three pieces of transmission information are all “5”, the individual evaluation value K12 includes “0.6 × 3 = 1.8”. Is set.
However, the individual evaluation value K12 has an upper limit value (for example, “5”). When the total value of a plurality of points corresponding to the plurality of state values x12 exceeds the upper limit value, the upper limit value is The individual evaluation value K12 is set. Moreover, the production | generation part 15 sets "0" to the separate evaluation value K12, when no state value x12 is produced | generated.
In this way, the individual evaluation value K12 increases the number of actions that the two persons have caused in the first period with respect to the transmission information from the common golf chum Uk of the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg. According to, a large value is shown. Further, as shown in FIG. 19, the individual evaluation value K12 shows a larger value as the degree of involvement of the action caused by the two people increases with respect to the transmission information.
When a predetermined golf user U1a and a target user Utg take action on the same outgoing information, they are common to two people compared to when no action is taken on the same outgoing information. It is estimated that there is a high possibility that there is an interest and communication is likely to be established between the two people. In the present embodiment, since the generation unit 15 generates the affinity Ps based on the individual evaluation value K12 indicating the degree of similarity of actions taken by the two persons with respect to the same transmission information, communication is established. In view of ease, the display or non-display of the affinity mark S can be determined.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the generation unit 15 includes a plurality of actions caused by a predetermined golf user U1a for certain outgoing information and a plurality of actions caused by the target user Utg for the given outgoing information. If there is an action of the same type between these actions, a state value x12 indicating the type of the action is generated.
However, the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment, and when a predetermined golf user U1a or a target user Utg takes a plurality of actions for the same transmission information, the plurality of actions One action with the highest degree of participation may be selected from among the above, and a state value x12 indicating the type of the selected action may be generated.
Specifically, the generation unit 15 selects one action having the highest degree of participation among a plurality of actions caused by a predetermined golf user U1a for certain transmission information, and for the transmission information When one action with the highest degree of participation is selected from among a plurality of actions caused by the target user Utg, and the types of these two selected actions match, the state value x12 indicated by the action type is set. It may be generated. In this case, the generation unit 15 does not generate the state value x12 unless the two selected action types match.
Therefore, for example, when a predetermined golf user U1a “browses” the transmission information and “comments”, and the target user Utg “browses” the information, the two actions to be selected (the degree of participation) The type of the highest action) is different, and the state value x12 is not generated.

Moreover, in this embodiment, although the kind of action which predetermined | prescribed golf user U1a and the kind of action which object user Utg caused are represented by one state value x12, two actions which the said two person took place May be represented by two state values x12 respectively corresponding to. That is, the type of action caused by the predetermined golf user U1a may be represented by the state value x12a, and the type of action caused by the target user Utg may be represented by the state value x12b.
Specifically, the generation unit 15 determines that the action type of both the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg is the first period with respect to one transmission information transmitted from the common golf chum Uk. When any of the actions “3”, “4”, and “5” occurs, the state value x12a and the state value x12b are generated. And the production | generation part 15 sets the value according to the classification of the action which predetermined | prescribed golf user U1a raised with respect to the said transmission information in the 1st period to state value x12a, and object user Utg In the first period, a value corresponding to the type of action taken for the transmission information is set as the state value x12b. However, if at least one of the two persons does not “browse” the transmission information in the first period, that is, if at least one of the two persons does not take action on the transmission information, the generating unit 15 does not generate the state values x12a and x12b corresponding to the transmission information.
In this case, the generation unit 15 is a record in which the state value x12 is recorded in the state value type among the plurality of records recorded in the score management table TBL16, and the state value x12a is recorded in the score assignment condition. A record that matches the condition that is recorded, and a record that records the state value x12 in the state value type and that matches the condition that the state value x12b is recorded in the scoring condition. And the production | generation part 15 should just set the total value of two values currently recorded on the score of two specified records to the separate evaluation value K12.

  As above-mentioned, the production | generation part 15 represents the classification of the action which the said 2 person took in the 2nd period with respect to the information transmitted from the common golf chum Uk of predetermined | prescribed golf user U1a and target user Utg. A value x13 is generated. This state value x13 is the same as the state value x12, except that it represents “the type of action that two people took in the second period” instead of “the type of action that two people took in the first period”. It is the same. That is, the process in which the generation unit 15 generates the state value x13 is changed to “the type of action that two people took during the first period” instead of “the type of action that two people took during the first period”. Based on this, the generation unit 15 is the same as the process of generating the state value x12 except that the state value x13 is generated. That is, any one of “3”, “4”, and “5” is set in the state value x13.

Then, the generation unit 15 is a record in which the state value x13 is recorded in the state value type among the plurality of records recorded in the point management table TBL16 illustrated in FIG. The value recorded in the score of the record that matches the condition recorded in is set as the individual evaluation value K13.
When a plurality of state values x13 are generated, a total value of a plurality of points corresponding to the generated plurality of state values x13 is set in the individual evaluation value K13, and the total value is a predetermined upper limit value. If it exceeds (for example, “7”), the upper limit value is set as the individual evaluation value K13. When no state value x13 is generated, “0” is set in the individual evaluation value K13.

As above-mentioned, the production | generation part 15 is the said 2 person in the 1st period with respect to the transmission information or delivery information from the golf users U1 other than the common golf chum Uk of the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg. A state value x14 representing the type of action that has occurred is generated. This state value x14 represents "action for information transmitted from golf user U1 other than common golf chum Uk or distribution information" instead of "action for information transmitted from common golf chum Uk". Is the same as the state value x12.
More specifically, the generation unit 15 accesses the access history information recorded in the first individual log file FL1 of the predetermined golf user U1a and the access recorded in the first individual log file FL1 of the target user Utg. Based on the history information, the type of action that the two persons took during the first period is specified for one piece of transmission information transmitted from the two common golf chum Uk. When the two people “comment” at least once in the first period with respect to the transmission information, the generation unit 15 sets the state value x14 to “5”, and If the two people “like” the button at least once in the first period and at least one of the two has not “commented” in the first period, the state value x14 Is set to “4”, two people “browse” the transmission information at least once in the first period, and at least one of the two persons When “comment” and “like button click” are not performed, the state value x14 is set to “3”.
The “golf user U1 other than the common golf chum Uk” means that the profile image Pg is displayed on the golf chum list screen G0 of the predetermined page of the golf user U1a and the target user Utg's my page. Among golf users U1 whose profile image Pg is displayed on the golf chum list screen G0, they are golf users U1 excluding the two common golf chum Uk. In other words, the “golf user U1 other than the common golf chum Uk” is the direct golf chum Ug or indirect golf chum Ugg of the predetermined golf user U1a and the direct golf chum Ug of the target user Utg or Among the golf users U1 corresponding to the indirect golf chum Ugg, it means the golf user U1 excluding the common golf chum Uk of the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg.
Further, the generation unit 15 is based on the access history information recorded in the first individual log file FL1 of the predetermined golf user U1a and the access history information recorded in the first individual log file FL1 of the target user Utg. Thus, for one piece of distribution information, the type of action that the two persons took during the first period is specified. Then, when the two people “comment” at least once in the first period for the distribution information, the generation unit 15 sets the state value x14 to “8”, and the two people If both “click the Like button” at least once and at least one of the two is not “commented”, the state value x14 is set to “7” and both of the two are at least If the user “browses” at least once and at least one of the two people has not performed “comment” or “like button click”, the state value x14 is set to “6”.

It should be noted that the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg take one of the actions of type “3”, “4”, or “5” for one transmission information in the first period. When the two persons take any action of the types “3”, “4”, or “5” with respect to one piece of distribution information, the generation unit 15 And the state value x14 is produced | generated with respect to each of the said 1 delivery information.
In addition, when there are a plurality of transmission information and the two persons take one of the actions of type “3”, “4”, or “5” for the plurality of transmission information in the first period The generation unit 15 generates a plurality of state values x14 corresponding to the plurality of pieces of transmission information on a one-to-one basis. Similarly, when the two persons perform any action of types “6”, “7”, or “8” in the first period for a plurality of distribution information, A plurality of state values x14 corresponding one-to-one with the plurality of distribution information are generated.

The generation unit 15 is a record in which the state value x14 is recorded in the state value type among the plurality of records recorded in the point management table TBL16 illustrated in FIG. The value recorded in the score of the record that matches the condition recorded in is set as the individual evaluation value K14. When a plurality of state values x14 are generated, a total value of a plurality of points corresponding to the generated plurality of state values x14 is set as the individual evaluation value K14, and the total value is a predetermined upper limit value. If it exceeds (for example, “5”), the upper limit value is set as the individual evaluation value K14. When no state value x14 is generated, “0” is set in the individual evaluation value K14.
When the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg comment on the same transmission information or distribution information, there is a high possibility that the two people have a common topic, and the two users communicate with each other. Is easily established. In the present embodiment, since the generation unit 15 generates the affinity Ps based on the individual evaluation value K14 indicating the degree of similarity of actions taken by the two persons with respect to the same transmission information or distribution information, The display or non-display of the affinity mark S can be determined in consideration of the ease of establishment.

  As above-mentioned, the production | generation part 15 is the said 2 person in the 2nd period with respect to the transmission information or delivery information from golf users U1 other than the common golf chum Uk of predetermined | prescribed golf user U1a and target user Utg. A state value x15 representing the type of action that has occurred is generated. This state value x15 is the same as the state value x14 except that it represents “the type of action that two people took during the first period” instead of “the type of action that two people took during the first period”. It is the same. That is, the process of generating the state value x15 by the generation unit 15 is changed to “the type of action that two people took during the second period” instead of “the type of action that two people took during the first period”. Based on this, the generation unit 15 is the same as the process of generating the state value x14 except that the state value x14 is generated. In other words, any value from “3” to “8” is set in the state value x15.

The generation unit 15 is a record in which the state value x15 is recorded in the state value type among the plurality of records recorded in the point management table TBL16 illustrated in FIG. The value recorded in the score of the record that matches the condition recorded in is set as the individual evaluation value K15.
When a plurality of state values x15 are generated, the individual evaluation value K15 is set with a total value of a plurality of points corresponding to the generated plurality of state values x15, and the total value is a predetermined upper limit value. If it exceeds (for example, “7”), the upper limit value is set as the individual evaluation value K15. If no state value x15 is generated, “0” is set in the individual evaluation value K15.

  The generation unit 15 calculates the evaluation value K1 by adding the generated individual evaluation values K11 to K15.

As above-mentioned, the production | generation part 15 produces | generates the state value x21 showing whether the target user Utg browsed the profile information of predetermined | prescribed golf user U1a in the 1st period.
More specifically, based on the access history information recorded in the second individual log file FL2 of the predetermined golf user U1a, the generation unit 15 determines that the target user Utg uses the predetermined golf during the first period. It is determined whether or not the profile information of the person U1a has been browsed. When the determination result is affirmative, the generation unit 15 sets the state value x21 to “1”, and when the determination result is negative, the generation unit 15 sets the state value x21 to “0”.
The generation unit 15 is a record in which the state value x21 is recorded in the state value type among the plurality of records recorded in the point management table TBL16 illustrated in FIG. The value recorded in the score of the record that matches the condition recorded in is set as the individual evaluation value K21.
When the target user Utg browses the profile information of the predetermined golf user U1a, the target user Utg may be interested in the predetermined golf user U1a as compared to the case where the target user Utg does not browse. Estimated to be high. Therefore, in this case, if a predetermined golf user U1a makes contact with the target user Utg, it is estimated that communication is likely to be established between them. Furthermore, in this case, if the predetermined golf user U1a invites the target user Utg to golf, it is estimated that the target user Utg is likely to consent. In the present embodiment, since the generation unit 15 generates the affinity Ps based on the individual evaluation value K21 indicating whether or not the target user Utg has viewed the profile information of the predetermined golf user U1a, the establishment of communication. The display or non-display of the affinity mark S is determined in consideration of easiness and the possibility that the target user Utg accepts when the predetermined user U1a invites the target user Utg to golf. be able to.

As described above, the generation unit 15 generates the state value x22 that represents whether or not the target user Utg has viewed the profile information of the predetermined golf user U1a in the second period.
More specifically, based on the access history information recorded in the second individual log file FL2 of the predetermined golf user U1a, the generation unit 15 determines that the target user Utg uses the predetermined golf for the second period. It is determined whether or not the profile information of the person U1a has been browsed. When the determination result is affirmative, the generation unit 15 sets the state value x22 to “1”, and when the determination result is negative, the generation unit 15 sets the state value x22 to “0”.
The generation unit 15 is a record in which the state value x22 is recorded in the state value type among the plurality of records recorded in the point management table TBL16 illustrated in FIG. The value recorded in the score of the record that matches the condition recorded in is set as the individual evaluation value K22.

As described above, the generation unit 15 generates the state value x23 representing the type of action that the target user Utg has caused in the first period with respect to the transmission information from the predetermined golf user U1a.
More specifically, the production | generation part 15 is one transmission information transmitted from predetermined | prescribed golf user U1a based on the access log information currently recorded on 2nd separate log file FL2 of predetermined | prescribed golf user U1a. On the other hand, the type of action that the target user Utg took during the first period is specified. Then, when the target user Utg “comments” at least once in the first period with respect to the transmission information, the generation unit 15 sets the state value x23 to “5”, and If the target user Utg “clicks the Like button” at least once during the first period and does not “comment”, the status value x23 is set to “4” and the target user If Utg “browses” the transmission information at least once in the first period and does not “comment” and “likes the button click” for the transmission information, state value x23 Is set to “3”. When the target user Utg does not “browse” the transmission information in the first period, the generation unit 15 does not generate the state value x23 corresponding to the transmission information.
When there are a plurality of pieces of transmission information from the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg “browses”, “clicks like” button, or “comments” with respect to the plurality of pieces of transmission information, the generation unit 15 generates a plurality of state values x23 corresponding to the plurality of pieces of transmission information on a one-to-one basis.

The generation unit 15 is a record in which the state value x23 is recorded in the state value type among the plurality of records recorded in the score management table TBL16 illustrated in FIG. 20, and the state value x23 is recorded in the score assignment condition. The value recorded in the score of the record that matches the set condition is set as the individual evaluation value K23.
When a plurality of state values x23 are generated, a total value of a plurality of points corresponding to the generated plurality of state values x23 is set in the individual evaluation value K23, and the total value is a predetermined upper limit value. If it exceeds (for example, “5”), the upper limit value is set as the individual evaluation value K23. When no state value x23 is generated, “0” is set in the individual evaluation value K23.
When the target user Utg takes action on the transmission information from the predetermined golf user U1a, the target user Utg is more interested in the predetermined golf user U1a than when no action is taken. It is estimated that there is a high possibility of having it. Therefore, in this case, if a predetermined golf user U1a makes contact with the target user Utg, it is estimated that communication is likely to be established between them. Furthermore, in this case, if the predetermined golf user U1a invites the target user Utg to golf, it is estimated that the target user Utg is likely to consent.
In this embodiment, the production | generation part 15 produces | generates affinity Ps based on the separate evaluation value K23 which shows the classification and frequency | count of the action which the object user Utg took with respect to the transmission information from predetermined | prescribed golf user U1a. Therefore, considering the ease of establishment of communication between the two people and the possibility that the target user Utg consents when the predetermined golf user U1a invites the target user Utg to golf, etc. The display or non-display of the mark S can be determined.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the individual evaluation value K23 indicates the type of action and the number of actions performed by the target user Utg in the first period with respect to the transmission information from the predetermined golf user U1a. Although it is an evaluation value, the evaluation value showing whether the target user Utg browsed the transmission information from the predetermined golf user U1a in the first period may be used.

  As described above, the generation unit 15 generates the state value x24 representing the type of action that the target user Utg has caused in the second period with respect to the transmission information from the predetermined golf user U1a. This state value x24 represents “the type of action that the target user Utg took during the second period” instead of “the type of action that the target user Utg took during the first period”. This is the same as the state value x23. That is, the process in which the generation unit 15 generates the state value x24 is “the action that the target user Utg has caused in the second period” instead of “the type of action that the target user Utg has occurred in the first period”. Except for the point that the state value x24 is generated based on the “type of”, the generation unit 15 is the same as the process of generating the state value x23. That is, any one of “3”, “4”, or “5” is set in the state value x24.

Then, the generation unit 15 is a record in which the state value x24 is recorded in the state value type among the plurality of records recorded in the point management table TBL16 illustrated in FIG. The value recorded in the score of the record that matches the condition recorded in is set as the individual evaluation value K24.
When a plurality of state values x24 are generated, the individual evaluation value K24 is set with a total value of a plurality of points corresponding to the generated plurality of state values x24, and the total value is a predetermined upper limit value. If it exceeds (for example, “8”), the upper limit value is set as the individual evaluation value K24. If no state value x24 is generated, “0” is set in the individual evaluation value K24.

  The generation unit 15 calculates the evaluation value K2 by adding the generated individual evaluation values K21 to K24.

As described above, the generation unit 15 generates the state value x31 representing the age difference between the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg.
More specifically, the generation unit 15 acquires the age of the predetermined golf user U1a and the age of the target user Utg from the golf user information table TBL11 in which the profile information is recorded. Next, the generation unit 15 calculates a value obtained by subtracting the age of the predetermined golf user U1a from the age of the target user Utg. Then, the generation unit 15 sets the calculated subtraction value to the state value x31.
In addition, when the age of the predetermined golf user U1a or the target user Utg is not recorded in the golf user information table TBL11, or one of the two people is set to be private by own operation If it is, the generation unit 15 does not generate the state value x31. As another example, since the information on the age of the predetermined golf user U1a or the target user Utg is only used for calculation even if it is set to be private, the state value x31 is generated. It is good also as a structure.

  Then, the generation unit 15 is a record in which the state value x31 is recorded in the state value type among the plurality of records recorded in the point management table TBL16 illustrated in FIG. The value recorded in the score of the record that matches the condition recorded in is set as the individual evaluation value K31. In addition, the production | generation part 15 sets "0" to the separate evaluation value K31, when not producing | generating the state value x31.

As shown in FIG. 21, the individual evaluation value K31 shows a larger value as the ages of the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg are closer. In addition, the individual evaluation value K31 indicates a larger value when the predetermined golf user U1a is older than the target user Utg, compared to the younger user.
When the age of the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg is close, it is easier for the predetermined golf user U1a to invite the target user Utg to golf than when the age is far away, and the target user Utg is predetermined. It is estimated that there is a high possibility of accepting the invitation of the golf user U1a. In addition, when the predetermined golf user U1a is older than the target user Utg, the predetermined golf user U1a often invites the target user Utg to golf without hesitation compared to the younger user. There is a possibility that the user Utg is likely to accept the invitation of the predetermined golf user U1a.
In the present embodiment, the generation unit 15 generates the affinity Ps based on the individual evaluation value K31 indicating the degree of approximation of the age of the two persons (and which of them is older). The ease of invitation when the golf user U1a invites the target user Utg to golf, and the possibility that the target user Utg accepts when the predetermined golf user U1a invites the target user Utg to golf, etc. In view of this, the display or non-display of the affinity mark S can be determined.

In the present embodiment, the individual evaluation value K31 is an evaluation value indicating the degree of approximation of the age of the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg, but is determined in consideration of gender in addition to age. It may be a value.
For example, the generating unit 15 may generate the individual evaluation value K31 with reference to the score management table TBL16a shown in FIG. 23 instead of generating with reference to the score management table TBL16 shown in FIG.
A plurality of records are recorded in the score management table TBL16a, and one record includes the gender of the predetermined golf user U1a, the gender of the target user Utg, the score provision condition, and the score.
In this case, the generation unit 15 has a predetermined gender in which the gender recorded in the gender of the predetermined golf user U1a is recorded in the golf user information table TBL11 from the plurality of records recorded in the score management table TBL16a. It matches the gender of the golf user U1a, the gender recorded in the gender of the target user Utg matches the gender of the target user Utg recorded in the golf user information table TBL11, and the state value x31 is A record that matches the condition recorded in the score assignment condition is specified, and the value recorded in the score of the specified record is set as the individual evaluation value K31.
In this example, the generation unit 15 indicates the degree of approximation of the age of the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg (and which of the two people is older), and the gender of the two people. In order to generate the affinity Ps based on the individual evaluation value K31, the ease of invitation when the predetermined golf user U1a invites the target user Utg to golf, and the predetermined golf user U1a determines the target user Utg. The display or non-display of the affinity mark S can be determined in consideration of the possibility that the target user Utg consents when invited to golf.

As described above, the generation unit 15 generates the state value x32 representing the degree of proximity of the addresses of the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg.
More specifically, the generation unit 15 acquires the address of the predetermined golf user U1a and the address of the target user Utg from the golf user information table TBL11 in which the profile information is recorded. Next, the generation unit 15 generates a state value x32 based on the addresses of the two people. Specifically, the generation unit 15 first determines whether the municipalities of the addresses of the two people match. If the generation unit 15 obtains a determination result that the municipalities of the addresses of the two persons match, the generation unit 15 sets “4” in the state value x32. In addition, when the generation unit 15 obtains a determination result that the municipalities of the addresses of the two people do not match, the generation unit 15 determines whether the prefectures of the addresses of the two people match. When the generation unit 15 obtains a determination result that the prefectures of the addresses of the two persons match, the generation unit 15 sets “3” in the state value x32. In addition, when the determination unit 15 obtains a determination result that the two prefectures do not match, the generation unit 15 determines whether the two prefectures are close to each other. When the generation unit 15 obtains a determination result that the prefectures of the addresses of the two persons are close to each other, the generation unit 15 sets “2” to the state value x32. In addition, when the generation unit 15 obtains a determination result that the prefectures of the addresses of the two persons are not close to each other, the generation unit 15 sets “1” to the state value x32.
In this embodiment, the two prefectures are close to each other means that the two prefectures are adjacent to each other (that is, the two prefectures are adjacent to each other), but the two prefectures are adjacent to one prefecture other than the two. It may include a case where the distance between the representative points of two prefectures (for example, the location of the prefectural office) is equal to or less than a predetermined distance.
In addition, when the address of the predetermined golf user U1a or the target user Utg is not recorded in the golf user information table TBL11 or is set to be private, the generation unit 15 sets the state value x32. Do not generate. As another example, since the information on the address of the predetermined golf user U1a or the target user Utg is only used for calculation even if it is set to be private, the state value x32 is generated. It is good also as a structure.

  Then, the generation unit 15 is a record in which the state value x32 is recorded in the state value type among the plurality of records recorded in the point management table TBL16 illustrated in FIG. The value recorded in the score of the record that matches the condition recorded in is set as the individual evaluation value K32. In addition, the production | generation part 15 sets "0" to the separate evaluation value K32, when not producing | generating the state value x32.

As shown in FIG. 21, the individual evaluation value K32 indicates a larger value as the two addresses are closer. For example, the individual evaluation value K32 indicates the largest value when the municipalities of the addresses of the two people match.
When the addresses of the two people are close, compared to when they are far away, the predetermined golf user U1a can easily invite the target user Utg to golf, and the target user Utg may accept the invitation of the predetermined golf user U1a. This is because it can be expensive.
In this embodiment, since the production | generation part 15 produces | generates affinity Ps based on the separate evaluation value K32 which shows the proximity | contact degree of two people's addresses, the predetermined golf user U1a invites the object user Utg to golf. In view of the ease of invitation and the possibility that the target user Utg accepts the target user Utg when the predetermined golf user U1a invites the target user Utg to golf, etc., display or non-display of the affinity mark S Can be determined.

Note that the generation unit 15 determines whether or not the prefectures of the two addresses are close to each other with reference to the set value management master table TBL17b illustrated in FIG. 26A. A plurality of records are recorded in the set value management master table TBL17b shown in FIG. 26A, and one record includes the reference prefecture and the neighboring prefectures. Here, in the neighboring prefectures, the prefectures close to the prefectures recorded in the reference prefecture are recorded.
The generation unit 15 selects a predetermined golf record recorded in the golf user information table TBL11 from among the records recorded in the set value management master table TBL17b. A record that matches the prefecture of the address of the user U1a and that matches the prefecture recorded in the neighboring prefecture with the prefecture of the address of the target user Utg recorded in the golf user information table TBL11 If it exists, it is determined that the two prefectures are in close proximity.
In the example shown in FIG. 26A, the setting value management master table TBL17b is described so that the prefecture name is directly input, but an identifier is assigned to each prefecture, and management is performed using this identifier. May be. In this case, a master table for storing the correspondence between the identifier and the prefecture name is provided separately.

Further, the generation unit 15 refers to the set value management master table TBL17c shown in FIG. 26B to determine whether the prefectures of the two addresses have a “match”, “proximity”, or “remote” relationship. May be executed.
In the set value management master table TBL17c shown in FIG. 26B, the two prefectures, the prefectures shown in each row and the prefectures shown in each column, have any relationship of “match”, “proximity”, and “remote”. It is a table showing whether it has.
The generation unit 15 selects a row representing a prefecture corresponding to the address of the predetermined golf user U1a recorded in the golf user information table TBL11 from a plurality of rows of the set value management master table TBL17c. Then, the column representing the prefecture corresponding to the address of the target user Utg is selected from the plurality of columns of the set value management master table TBL17c. Then, the generation unit 15 acquires data specified by the selected row and column. When the value indicated by the acquired data is “3”, the generation unit 15 determines that the two prefectures corresponding to the addresses of the two people “match”, and when the value is “2”, “proximity”. If it is “1”, it is determined that the relationship is “remote”.

In addition to the set value management master table TBL17b (or TBL17c), the storage unit 19 changes a table (for example, “reference prefecture” in FIG. 26A to “reference municipality” in FIG. A table in which “prefecture” is changed to “adjacent municipality”) may be stored. In this case, the state value x32 can represent the state where the municipality is the same, the prefecture is the same, the prefecture is the proximity, and the state is the remote, and the municipality is the proximity. The degree of proximity of the addresses of the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg can be expressed more accurately.
Furthermore, the state value x32 is not limited to the above-described aspect, and may be any value as long as it represents a distance between two people's addresses. For example, the state value x32 may represent three states in which the prefectures coincide, the prefectures are close, and the prefectures are remote. Further, for example, the state value x32 may represent a straight distance between the addresses of the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg. In this case, the memory | storage part 19 may memorize | store the longitude, latitude, etc. of each golf user's U1 address (or each prefecture or the representative place of a municipality to which an address belongs).

As described above, the generation unit 15 generates the state value x33 representing the absolute value of the difference value between the round frequency ranks of the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg.
More specifically, the generation unit 15 acquires the round frequency ranks of the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg from the golf user information table TBL11. Next, the generation unit 15 calculates the absolute value of the difference value between the two round frequency ranks. Then, the generation unit 15 sets the calculated value as the state value x33. Then, the generation unit 15 is a record in which the state value x33 is recorded in the state value type among the plurality of records recorded in the point management table TBL16 illustrated in FIG. 21, and the state value x33 is the score assignment condition. The value recorded in the score of the record that matches the condition recorded in is set as the individual evaluation value K33. As shown in FIG. 21, the individual evaluation value K33 shows a larger value as the round frequency of the two people approximates.

As described above, the generation unit 15 generates the state value x34 representing the absolute value of the difference value between the practice frequency ranks of the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg.
More specifically, the production | generation part 15 acquires the practice frequency rank of predetermined | prescribed golf user U1a and object user Utg from golf user information table TBL11. Next, the generation unit 15 calculates the absolute value of the difference value between the practice frequency ranks of the two people. Then, the generation unit 15 sets the calculated value as the state value x34. Then, the generation unit 15 is a record in which the state value x34 is recorded in the state value type among the plurality of records recorded in the point management table TBL16 illustrated in FIG. 21, and the state value x34 is the score assignment condition. The value recorded in the score of the record that matches the condition recorded in is set as the individual evaluation value K34. As shown in FIG. 21, the individual evaluation value K34 shows a larger value as the practice frequency of the two people approximates.

As above-mentioned, the production | generation part 15 produces | generates the state value x35 showing the absolute value of the difference value of the score of predetermined | prescribed golf user U1a and object user Utg.
More specifically, the production | generation part 15 acquires the score of predetermined | prescribed golf user U1a and object user Utg from golf user information table TBL11. Next, the generation unit 15 calculates the absolute value of the difference value between the scores of the two people. Then, the generation unit 15 sets the calculated value as the state value x35. In addition, when the score of the predetermined golf user U1a or the target user Utg is not recorded in the golf user information table TBL11 or is set to be private, the generation unit 15 sets the state value x35. Do not generate.

  Then, the generation unit 15 is a record in which the state value x35 is recorded in the state value type among the plurality of records recorded in the point management table TBL16 illustrated in FIG. The value recorded in the score of the record that matches the condition recorded in is set as the individual evaluation value K35. In addition, the production | generation part 15 sets "0" to the separate evaluation value K35, when not producing | generating the state value x35.

As shown in FIG. 22, the individual evaluation value K35 shows a larger value as the average golf scores of the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg approximate.
When the average scores of the two people are approximated, compared to a case where the average score is not approximated, the predetermined golf user U1a often invites the target user Utg without hesitation to play golf, and the target user Utg is determined to be the predetermined golf user U1a. It is estimated that there is a high possibility of accepting the invitation.
In this embodiment, since the production | generation part 15 produces | generates affinity Ps based on the separate evaluation value K35 which shows the degree of approximation of an average score, when predetermined | prescribed golf user U1a invites target user Utg to golf The display or non-display of the affinity mark S is determined in consideration of the ease of invitation and the possibility that the target user Utg accepts when the predetermined golf user U1a invites the target user Utg to golf. be able to.

The generation unit 15 may generate the individual evaluation value K35 with reference to the score management table TBL16b illustrated in FIG. The score management table TBL16b is a table that stores the score Sc1 of the predetermined golf user U1a shown in each row, the score Sc2 of the target user Utg shown in each column, and the individual evaluation value K35 in association with each other.
The generation unit 15 selects a row representing an average score of a predetermined golf user U1a recorded in the golf user information table TBL11 from the plurality of rows of the score management table TBL16b, and also includes the score management table TBL16b. A column representing the average score of the target user Utg recorded in the golf user information table TBL11 is selected from the plurality of columns. And the production | generation part 15 acquires the value currently recorded on the selected row | line | column and column, and sets the acquired value to the separate evaluation value K35.
For example, people who are good at golf may want to play golf with people who are good at golf. Also, a poor golfer may want to teach golf by playing with a good golfer.
According to this example, the generation unit 15 considers not only the degree of approximation of the average score of the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg but also the individual evaluation in consideration of the average score value of each of the two users. Since the value K35 is generated and the affinity Ps is generated based on the generated individual evaluation value K35, the display or non-display of the affinity mark S can be determined in consideration of the golfer's psychology.

As above-mentioned, the production | generation part 15 produces | generates the state value x36 which shows the number of the common golf chum Uk of the predetermined | prescribed golf user U1a and object user Utg.
More specifically, the production | generation part 15 counts the number of the said 2 common golf chum Uk, and sets the value obtained as a count result to the state value x36. The generation unit 15 is a record in which the state value x36 is recorded in the state value type among the plurality of records recorded in the point management table TBL16 illustrated in FIG. The value recorded in the score of the record that matches the condition recorded in is set as the individual evaluation value K36.

As illustrated in FIG. 22, the individual evaluation value K36 indicates a larger value as the number of the common golf chum Uk of the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg increases. When there are a lot of the two common golf chum Uk, it is estimated that there is a high possibility that communication is established between the two compared to the case where the common golf chum Uk is small. Furthermore, in this case, if the predetermined golf user U1a invites the target user Utg to golf, it is estimated that the target user Utg is likely to consent.
In this embodiment, since the production | generation part 15 produces | generates affinity Ps based on the separate evaluation value K36 which shows the degree of common golf chum Uk, the ease of establishment of communication and a predetermined golf user The display or non-display of the affinity mark S can be determined in consideration of the possibility that the target user Utg consents when U1a invites the target user Utg to golf.

The generation unit 15 calculates the evaluation value K3 by adding the generated individual evaluation values K31 to K36.
Then, the generation unit 15 calculates the affinity Ps by adding the calculated evaluation values K1 to K3 (that is, by adding the individual evaluation values K11 to K36).

The display information generation unit 17 refers to the setting value management master table TBL17d to determine the affinity mark S corresponding to the affinity Ps.
FIG. 27 shows the data structure of the set value management master table TBL17d. The set value management master table TBL17d is a table that stores the value indicated by the affinity Ps and the link information of the address where the data of the affinity mark S is stored in association with each other.
A plurality of records are recorded in the set value management master table TBL17d. One record includes an affinity value condition and an affinity mark storage destination. The affinity mark storage destination indicates link information of an address where the data of the affinity mark S is stored. The affinity value condition indicates a conditional expression that defines a range of values indicated by the affinity Ps. By this affinity condition, the value of the affinity Ps is associated with the affinity mark S displayed on the display 25 of the predetermined golf user U1a.

My page (golf friend list screen G0) including the affinity mark S representing the affinity Ps representing the size of the connection between the friend Ug and the indirect golf friend Ugg and the golf user U1 can be displayed. .
In addition, the golf user U1 can provide a golf information application service for the direct SNS friend Uf who has a friendship relationship with the golf user U1 and the SNS.
Hereinafter, a display process for displaying my page and an invitation process for inviting the SNS friend Uf directly to the golf information application service will be described.

<5-1: Display processing>
30 and 31 show an operation sequence of the service providing system related to display processing. The SNS user U2 of the terminal device 2 (also a golf user U1. Hereinafter, the golf user U1 is referred to as “predetermined golf user U1a”) operates on the web browser, or the terminal device 2 When an application installed and activated is started and the SNS site is accessed, a login screen is displayed on the display 25 of the terminal device 2. On this login screen, an input box for inputting identification information UID and a password and a send button are displayed. When a predetermined golf user U1a inputs into the input box and clicks a transmission button, the terminal device 2 transmits a login request including the input identification information UID and password to the external management server 3.

  When the external management server 3 receives the login request, the external management server 3 executes an authentication process (S300). Specifically, the CPU of the external management server 3 determines whether or not the combination of the identification information UID and the password is stored. If the determination condition is satisfied, the login is permitted and the determination condition is not satisfied. In case it refuses login. Then, the CPU causes the terminal device 2 to transmit a login response indicating the determination result. In the example shown in FIG. 30, it is assumed that login is permitted. The combination of the identification information UID and the password once input at the terminal device 2 may be stored in the terminal device 2 for a predetermined period, and login may be omitted within the predetermined period.

  Thereafter, when a predetermined golf user U1a selects a golf application from the menu (S200), the terminal device 2 transmits a my page browsing request to the management server 1. When the management server 1 receives the my page browsing request, the CPU 30 of the management server 1 acquires the identification information UID of the predetermined golf user U1a included in the my page browsing request, and the identification information UID of the predetermined golf user U1a. Is transmitted to the external management server 3 (S100).

  When the external management server 3 receives the identification information UID of the predetermined golf user U1a, the CPU of the external management server 3 accesses the SNS friend information table TBL32, and the identification information UID is recorded as the action source or the action destination. SNS friend information is extracted by extracting existing records (S301). Further, the CPU of the external management server 3 extracts external user information from the SNS user information table TBL31 using the identification information UID recorded as an action source or an action destination in these records as a key (S301). Thereafter, the external management server 3 transmits a friend list including the extracted SNS friend information and external user information to the management server 1.

When the management server 1 receives the friend list, the CPU 30 of the management server 1 acquires SNS friend information and external user information (S101). The external user information acquired in S101 includes external user information of a predetermined golf user U1a and external user information of a direct SNS friend Uf of the predetermined golf user U1a.
Next, the CPU 30 of the management server 1 specifies the identification information UID of the direct SNS friend Uf of the predetermined golf user U1a (S102). Specifically, the CPU 30 of the management server 1 uses the identification information UID of the predetermined golf user U1a and the overlapping identification information UID among the identification information UID recorded as the action source or the action destination in the record of friend information. The removed identification information UID is specified as the identification information UID of the direct SNS friend Uf of the predetermined golf user U1a. As a result, as shown in FIG. 32A, it is possible to specify a direct SNS friend Uf in a SNS friend relationship with a predetermined golf user U1a. Thereafter, the CPU 30 of the management server 1 performs control to directly transmit the identification information UID of the SNS friend Uf to the external management server 3 (S103).

  When the external management server 3 directly receives the identification information UID of the SNS friend Uf, the CPU of the external management server 3 accesses the SNS friend information table TBL32 and the identification information UID is recorded as an action source or an action destination. SNS friend information is extracted by extracting a record (S302). Thereafter, the external management server 3 transmits a friend list including the extracted SNS friend information to the management server 1.

When the management server 1 receives the friend list, the CPU 30 of the management server 1 acquires SNS friend information from the received friend list (S104).
Thereafter, the CPU 30 of the management server 1 specifies the identification information UID for the indirect SNS friend Uff (S105). Specifically, among the identification information UID recorded as the action source or the action destination in the record of the SNS friend information, the identification information UID excluding the duplicate identification information UID is specified as the identification information UID of the indirect SNS friend Uff. . As a result, as shown in FIG. 32B, the direct SNS friend Uf and the indirect SNS friend Uff that are in the SNS friend relationship with the predetermined golf user U1a can be specified. Thereafter, the CPU 30 of the management server 1 performs control to transmit the identification information UID of the indirect SNS friend Uff to the external management server 3 (S106).

  When the external management server 3 receives the identification information UID of the indirect SNS friend Uff, the CPU of the external management server 3 accesses the SNS user information table TBL31 and extracts a record in which the identification information UID is recorded. Thus, external user information is extracted (S303). Thereafter, the external management server 3 transmits the extracted external user information to the management server 1.

When the management server 1 receives the external user information, the CPU 30 of the management server 1 acquires the received external user information (S107). The external user information acquired in S107 is the external user information of the indirect SNS friend Uff of the predetermined golf user U1a.
Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 31, the CPU 30 of the management server 1 is based on the identification information UID of the direct SNS friend Uf and the indirect SNS friend Uff of the predetermined golf user U1a and the identification information UID of the golf user U1. The direct golf chum Ug of the predetermined golf user U1a and the indirect golf chum Ugg of the predetermined golf user U1a are specified (S108). Specifically, among the identification information UID of the direct SNS friend Uf specified in S102, the one that matches the identification information UID of the golf user U1 is identified with the identification information UID of the direct golf friend Ug of the predetermined golf user U1a. To do. Further, among the identification information UID of the indirect SNS friend Uff specified in S105, the information that matches the identification information UID of the golf user U1 is set as the identification information UID of the indirect golf friend Ugg of the predetermined golf user U1a. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 2, the direct golf chum Ugg of the predetermined golf user U1a and the indirect golf chum Ugg of the predetermined golf user U1a are specified.

Next, the CPU 30 of the management server 1 generates the affinity Ps indicating the size of the connection between the direct golf chum Ug and the indirect golf chum Ugg of the predetermined golf user U1a and the predetermined golf user U1a. Is identified as the target user Utg (S109).
In this embodiment, in S109, the CPU 30 matches the identification information UID of the direct golf chum Ug of the target user Utg among the identification information UID of the direct golf chum Ug of the predetermined golf user U1a. It is set as the identification information UID of the common golf chum Uk of the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg. Thereby, the common golf chum Uk of the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg is specified.

  As described above, the CPU 30 functions as the specifying unit 13 by executing S102, S105, S108, and S109.

Next, the CPU 30 of the management server 1 calculates individual evaluation values K11 to K36 (evaluation values K1 to K3) based on the internal user information (profile information and usage history information) stored in the hard disk drive 33. . And CPU30 produces | generates affinity Ps which shows the magnitude | size of the connection with the target user Utg specified by predetermined | prescribed golf user U1a and S109 based on the individual evaluation value K11-K36 (S110). That is, the CPU 30 functions as the generation unit 15 by executing S110.
Details of generation of the evaluation values K1 to K3 (individual evaluation values K11 to K36) and the affinity Ps will be described later in <5-2: Generation of affinity> below.

Next, the CPU 30 of the management server 1 includes information that can identify the target user Utg based on the external user information acquired in S101, the external user information acquired in S107, and the affinity Ps generated in S110. Display information including information indicating the affinity Ps is generated (S111).
Specifically, the CPU 30 of the management server 1 accesses the set value management master table TBL17d, and searches for a record in which the value indicated by the affinity Ps generated in S110 satisfies the conditional expression indicated by the affinity value condition. Then, the CPU 30 acquires link information (information indicating the affinity Ps) recorded in the affinity mark storage destination of the record from the set value management master table TBL17d.
In addition, the CPU 30 of the management server 1 uses the external user information acquired in S101 and S107 to link information indicating the address where the data of the profile image Pg of the target user Utg is stored (information that can identify the target user Utg). To extract. In the present embodiment, in order to reduce the amount of transmission data, information that can identify the target user Utg and information indicating the affinity Ps are given as link information indicating the addresses of the data of the profile image Pg and the affinity mark S. Alternatively, it may be given as image data itself.
The display information includes information indicating the arrangement position on the screen of the profile image Pg of the target user Utg.

  Specifically, first, the CPU 30 roughly classifies the target user Utg into direct golf chum Ug and indirect golf chum Ugg, and profile images Pg of all direct golf chum Ug and indirect golf chum on a virtual screen. Arranged with Ugg profile image Pg. Here, when the predetermined golf user U1a has a plurality of direct golf chum Ug, there are various methods for arranging the profile images Pg of the plurality of direct golf chum Ug. For example, the profile image Pg of the direct golf chum Ug having a higher value indicated by the affinity Ps generated in S110 may be arranged at random or closer to the profile image Pg [U1a] of the predetermined golf user U1a. You may make it arrange | position to. The same applies to the arrangement of the profile image Pg of the indirect golf chum Ugg. Moreover, in this embodiment, CPU30 may produce | generate display information so that the profile image Pg of direct golf chum Ug may be displayed more largely than the profile image Pg of indirect golf chum Ugg. When the number of persons to be displayed is large, the size of the virtual screen is larger than the screen displayed on the display 25 of the terminal device 2. In this case, in the terminal device 2, a virtual screen is cut out to a displayable size and displayed on the display 25.

  The CPU 30 fills the profile image Pg of the golf chum Ug directly from the forefront of the virtual screen, and then fills the profile image Pg of the indirect golf chum Ugg. For example, it is assumed that a virtual screen on which the profile images Pg of all the direct golf friends Ug and the profile images Pg of the indirect golf friends Ugg are arranged is a screen W shown in FIG. In this case, the CPU 30 arranges “direct golf chum Ug profile image Pg” in the forefront of the screen W (the lowermost side in FIG. 33), and “direct golf chum Ug profile image Pg placement is complete. Then, the profile image Pg of the indirect golf chum Ugg is arranged in the order of the area r1, the area r2, the area r3, etc. Deploy.

  The screen area R1 is first displayed on the display 25 of the terminal device 2. In this case, the region r1 corresponds to the lower region of the display 25 (ie, the region Y1 shown in FIG. 3), and the region r2 corresponds to the upper region of the display 25 (ie, the region Y2 shown in FIG. 3). To do. When the button B2 is clicked, the screen area R2 is displayed on the display 25. In this case, the region r2 corresponds to the lower region (region Y1) of the display 25, and the region r3 corresponds to the upper region (region Y2) of the display 25. When the button B1 is clicked in this state, the screen area R1 is displayed on the display 25.

  That is, the display 25 of the terminal device 2 can display a golf chum list screen G0 having a size larger than the screen size by sliding the screen in a predetermined direction. When the CPU 30 of the management server 1 cannot arrange the profile image Pg of the golf chum Ug and the profile image Pg of the indirect golf chum Ugg directly on the screen size of the display 25, the profile image of the golf chum Ug directly in an area larger than the screen size. The arrangement position on the screen of the profile image Pg on which the golf chum list screen G0 on which Pg and the profile image Pg of the indirect golf chum Ugg are arranged is displayed is determined.

The description returns to FIG. CPU30 of the management server 1 performs control which transmits the my page browsing response containing display information to the terminal device 2 of predetermined | prescribed golf user U1a (S112).
The CPU 30 functions as the display information generation unit 17 by executing S111, and functions as the transmission control unit 18 by executing S112.
Further, the CPU 30 executes S100, S101, S103, S104, S106, and S107, or acquires information from various tables stored in the hard disk drive 33 in the above-described S100 to S112, or the above-described In S100, it functions as the acquisition unit 11 by acquiring the identification information UID of the predetermined golf user U1a from the my page browsing request.
When the terminal device 2 receives the my page browsing response, the CPU 20 arranges “direct golf chum Ug profile image Pg”, “indirect golf chum Ugg profile image Pg”, and “affinity mark S” on the display 25. A golf friend list screen is displayed (S201).

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 33, “direct golf chum Ug profile image Pg” is arranged in front of “indirect golf chum Ugg profile image Pg”. The hierarchical relationship between “direct golf chum Ug” and “indirect golf chum Ugg” can be easily grasped.
Furthermore, since the “direct golf chum Ug profile image Pg”, which is more closely related to the predetermined golf user U1a, is displayed larger than the “indirect golf chum Ugg profile image Pg”, the hierarchical relationship between them can be seen at a glance. I can grasp it.
In addition, since the “indirect golf chum Ugg” has a friend relationship with each of the direct golf chum Ug of the predetermined golf user U1a, the number of people is usually larger than the “direct golf chum Ug”. By making “indirect golf chum Ugg's profile image Pg” smaller than “direct golf chum Ug's profile image Pg”, efficient display becomes possible.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, in order to display the affinity mark S defined based on the affinity Ps representing the magnitude of the connection between the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg, the predetermined golf user It can be recommended that U1a transmit some information to the target user Utg, and as a result, it is expected that communication between the golf users U1 is activated.

  30 and 31, the flow until the golf chum list screen G0 is displayed for the first time after the predetermined golf user U1a logs in to the SNS site is described. However, the management server 1 is in S110 to S112. After the golf chum list screen G0 is displayed for the first time, while the predetermined golf user U1a is browsing my page, a request to view the golf chum list screen G0 from the predetermined golf user U1a It may be executed at a certain timing. Thereby, the target user Utg in which the affinity mark S is displayed, the shape of the affinity mark S, and the like are updated at a timing when the predetermined golf user U1a newly displays the golf chum list screen G0. . That is, in this case, the predetermined golf user U1a can grasp the size of the connection with the target user Utg at a timing closer to real time.

<5-2: Generation of affinity>
Hereinafter, the generation of the affinity Ps (S110) in the display process will be described in detail.
As described above, the CPU 30 calculates the individual evaluation values K11 to K36 (evaluation values K1 to K3) based on the usage history information and the profile information. Then, the affinity Ps is generated based on the individual evaluation values K11 to K36 (evaluation values K1 to K3). Below, the process which calculates the individual evaluation values K11-K36 is demonstrated separately.

  The CPU 30 generates a state value x11 based on the login state management information recorded in the login state management table TBL13, and generates an individual evaluation value K11 based on the generated state value x11. Hereinafter, an example of processing for generating the state value x11 and the individual evaluation value K11 will be described.

First, the CPU 30 accesses the login state management table TBL13 (FIG. 16), and extracts a record in which the identification information UID of the target user Utg is recorded. Next, the CPU 30 determines whether or not “1” is recorded in the login state of the extracted record, that is, whether or not the target user Utg is logging in. When determining that the target user Utg is logging in, the CPU 30 sets “5” in the state value x11. If the CPU 30 determines that the target user Utg is not logged in, the CPU 30 acquires the date and time recorded in the last logout date and time of the extracted record. Then, the CPU 30 calculates an interval between the acquired date and time and the current time (generation time), and when the interval is within 15 minutes, sets the state value x11 to “4”, which is longer than 15 minutes. If it is large and within 30 minutes, set “3”, and if it is larger than 30 minutes and within 1 hour, set “2” and set it larger than 1 hour and within 2 hours. If there is, “1” is set, and if it is longer than 2 hours, “0” is set.
After generating the state value x11, the CPU 30 accesses the score management table TBL16 (FIG. 19) and records the state value x11 in the state value type, and the state value x11 is recorded in the score assignment condition. Records that meet the specified conditions. Then, the CPU 30 sets the value recorded in the score of the extracted record as the individual evaluation value K11.

  In this embodiment, the CPU 30 generates the state value x11 based on the login state management information recorded in the login state management table TBL13, but the access history information recorded in the user log management table TBL15. The state value x11 may be generated based on the above.

  The CPU 30 accesses the access history information recorded in the first individual log file FL1 (FIG. 18A) of the predetermined golf user U1a and the access history information recorded in the first individual log file FL1 of the target user Utg. Based on the state value x12, the individual evaluation value K12 is generated based on the generated state value x12. Hereinafter, an example of processing for generating the state value x12 and the individual evaluation value K12 will be described.

The CPU 30 first records the date and time within the first period in the time stamp from the first individual log file FL1 of the predetermined golf user U1a and the first individual log file FL1 of the target user Utg, and A record in which any one of “3”, “4”, and “5” is recorded as the action type is extracted.
Next, CPU30 is based on the record extracted from 1st separate log file FL1 of predetermined | prescribed golf user U1a, and the record extracted from 1st separate log file FL1 of target user Utg, from common golf chum Uk. It is determined whether or not the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg have caused the same type of action for the first transmission information. Specifically, the CPU 30 selects one record selected from the record extracted from the first individual log file FL1 of the predetermined golf user U1a and the record extracted from the first individual log file FL1 of the target user Utg. In the set of two records of the selected one record, the identification information UID of the common golf chum Uk is recorded in the access destination UID, the same comment ID is recorded in the access destination comment ID, and the action type It is determined whether or not there is a set of two records (hereinafter referred to as “specific set”) in which the same value is recorded.
When the determination result is affirmative, that is, when a specific group exists, the CPU 30 sets the value recorded in the action type of the two records constituting the specific group as the state value x12. . On the other hand, when the determination result is negative, the CPU 30 does not generate the state value x12 corresponding to the one transmission information.

In addition, when there are a plurality of specific groups for one transmission information from the common golf chum Uk, the CPU 30 is involved in the action represented by the action type of the record constituting the group from the plurality of specific groups. The specific group having the highest degree is selected, and the value recorded in the action type of the record constituting the selected specific group is set as the state value x12.
For example, a predetermined golf user U1a takes actions of action types “3”, “4”, and “5” for certain transmission information, and the target user Utg has action types “3” and “4”. When each action is caused (that is, when there is a specific group with an action type of “3” and a specific group with an action type of “4” for certain outgoing information), the CPU 30 “4” is set to the state value x12.

Further, when there are a plurality of pieces of transmission information of the target in which the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg have caused the same type of action in the first period, the CPU 30 has a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of pieces of transmission information. Thus, a plurality of state values x12 are generated.

FIG. 34A and FIG. 34B show an operation sequence of the service providing system related to the invitation process. In this example, the terminal device of the action-source golf user U1 is referred to as the terminal device 2f, and the terminal device of the action-destination SNS user U2 is referred to as the terminal device 2t.
First, when the golf user U1 (predetermined golf user U1a) of the terminal device 2f who is the action source clicks the icon Z4 on the My Page shown in FIG. 3 and selects “Increase Golf Friend” (S220), The terminal device 2 f transmits a friend application page request to the management server 1. When receiving the friend application page request, the management server 1 acquires the identification information UID of the predetermined golf user U1a, and transmits the identification information UID of the predetermined golf user U1a to the external management server 3 (S120).

  When the external management server 3 receives a request including the identification information UID of the predetermined golf user U1a, the CPU of the external management server 3 accesses the SNS friend information table TBL32, and the identification information UID is the action source or action destination. The record (SNS friend information) recorded as is extracted (S320). Further, the CPU of the external management server 3 extracts external user information from the SNS user information table TBL31 using the identification information UID recorded as an action source or action destination in these records as a key (S321). Thereafter, the external management server 3 transmits a friend list including the extracted SNS friend information and external user information to the management server 1.

When the management server 1 receives the friend list and acquires the SNS friend information and the external user information (S121), the CPU 30 of the management server 1 is the direct SNS friend Uf of the predetermined golf user U1a and the golf user. A person who is not U1 is extracted and a friend application page is generated (S122).
More specifically, firstly, the CPU 30 identifies the identification information UID and duplication of a predetermined golf user U1a among the identification information UID recorded as an action source or an action destination in a record in which the status of friend information is consent. The identification information UID excluding the identification information UID to be identified is specified as the identification information UID of the direct SNS friend Uf of the predetermined golf user U1a. 2ndly, CPU30 acquires the golf user U1 identification information UID with reference to golf user information table TBL11. 3rdly, CPU30 specifies the identification information UID of the invitation candidate except the identification information UID of golf user U1 from the identification information UID of direct SNS friend Uf of predetermined | prescribed golf user U1a. 4thly, CPU30 produces | generates a friend application page using the external user information corresponding to the identification information UID of an invitation candidate.

Thereafter, the management server 1 transmits a friend application page response to the terminal device 2f. The terminal device 2f that has received the friend application page response displays the friend application page on the display 25 (S221).
FIG. 35 shows an example of the friend application page. In this example, the profile image Pg of the invitation candidate is displayed in the area Y0. The invitation candidate's profile image Pg scrolls to the left when the button B6 is clicked, and scrolls to the right when the button B7 is clicked. Then, when the invitation candidate's profile image Pg is dragged to a predetermined area (in this example, green), a confirmation screen is displayed as shown in FIG. In this example, it is confirmed whether to invite “Ichiro Yamada” to a golf friend. When the cancel button B8 is clicked, the profile image Pg [U1e] is returned to the area Y0. On the other hand, when the invitation button B9 is clicked, the terminal device 2f transmits a golf chum application request to the management server 1 as shown in FIG. The golf friend application request includes the identification information UID of the action source (friend application source) and the identification information UID of the action destination (friend application destination).

  When the management server 1 receives the golf chum application request, the management server 1 executes a golf chum application process (S123). In the golf chum application process, the CPU 30 of the management server 1 transmits a golf chum application notification including the identification information UID of the action source and the action destination to the external management server 3. When the external management server 3 receives the golf friend application notification, the external management server 3 associates it with the identification information UID of the action destination from the SNS friend (predetermined golf user U1a) as the action source to the golf information provision application service (first service). Invitation information indicating that there has been an invitation is stored in the SNS user information table TBL31 (S322).

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 34B, when the SNS user U2 as the action destination logs in to the SNS site in the terminal device 2t, the golf information from the golf user who is the action to the SNS user U2's My Page at the SNS site. A button for jumping to a registration page managed by the management server 1 is displayed together with a message to invite to the provided application service (first service) (S230). When the action destination SNS user U2 clicks the button and selects registration (S231), a registration page request is transmitted to the management server 1. When the management server 1 transmits a registration page response including a registration page to the terminal device 2t, the registration page is displayed on the display 25 of the terminal device 2t (S232). When the SNS user U2 inputs a predetermined item in the terminal device 2t and clicks a registration button displayed on the registration page, the terminal device 2t transmits a registration request to the management server 1. The registration page may include a profile information setting screen G8 shown in FIG.

When the management server 1 receives the registration request, the CPU 30 updates the golf user information table TBL11 (S124). At this time, the identification information UID of the SNS user U2 as the action destination is added to the golf user information table TBL11, and a registration message is recorded in association with the identification information UID of the golf user U1 as the action source.
Thereafter, when the action golf user U1 logs in to the management server 1, the management server 1 transmits a my page including a registration message to the terminal device 2f. CPU20 of the terminal device 2f which received my page displays my page on the display 25 (S240).
FIG. 37 shows an example of my page including a registration message. In this example, a registration message such as “Thank you for inviting! Let's go to golf!” Is displayed in the area Y4 together with the profile image Pg of the golf user U1 who accepted the invitation to the first service.
In this way, when the number of golf friends increases, the number of golf friends of the golf friends also increases, so the number of friends displayed on the My Page increases rapidly, the My Page becomes lively, and activates communication related to golf. Can do.

Note that the invitation notification mode is a click on a button (for example, a “Like” button) expressing approval for an invitation post on My Page or an access from a URL described in the text of an email. May be. In this case, it is preferable that the identification information UID of the action source is associated with the button for expressing approval and the URL described in the body of the mail.
Moreover, although the invitation candidate was the direct SNS friend Uf in the above-mentioned aspect, you may include the indirect SNS friend Uff in an invitation candidate. In this case, the acquisition unit 11 of the management server 1 may directly transmit the identification information UID of the SNS friend Uf to the external management server 3 and acquire the external user information of the indirect SNS friend Uff.

<Modification 1>
In the embodiment described above, the generation unit 15 generates the affinity Ps by adding the evaluation values K1 to K3 (individual evaluation values K11 to K36), but the present invention is not limited to this, and each The affinity Ps may be generated by multiplying each of the individual evaluation values K11 to K36 by a predetermined coefficient and adding the multiplication results.
In the present modification, the storage unit 19 stores a set value management master table TBL17e that stores individual evaluation values and coefficients in association with each other. FIG. 44 shows a table configuration of the set value management master table TBL17e. A plurality of records are recorded in the set value management master table TBL17e. One record includes an individual evaluation value type and a coefficient. The generation unit 15 refers to the set value management master table TBL17e, acquires a coefficient corresponding to the individual evaluation value, and adds the value obtained by multiplying the individual evaluation value and the acquired coefficient. To calculate the affinity Ps. Specifically, the generation unit 15 calculates the affinity Ps by multiplying the corresponding individual evaluation value by the coefficient acquired for each of the individual evaluation values K11 to K36 and adding the multiplication result.

<Modification 2>
In the embodiment and the modification described above, the generation unit 15 generates the affinity Ps based on the evaluation values K1 to K3, but the present invention is not limited to this, and in addition to the evaluation values K1 to K3, The affinity Ps may be generated based on “an evaluation value K4 indicating an activity amount of a predetermined golf user U1a in the golf information application service”.
Here, the evaluation value K4 may be any value as long as it indicates the activity amount of a predetermined golf user U1a in the golf information application service.
In the present modification, the generation unit 15 includes the individual evaluation value K41 indicating whether or not the predetermined golf user U1a has logged in and the number of times of login in the second period, the direct golf chum Ug of the predetermined golf user U1a, or the predetermined golf Individual evaluation value K42 indicating the type and number of actions that the predetermined golf user U1a took during the second period with respect to the information or distribution information transmitted from the indirect golf chum Ugg of the user U1a, the second period The individual evaluation value K43 indicating the presence / absence of the information transmission of the predetermined golf user U1a and the number of times is calculated, and the evaluation value K4 is calculated based on the calculated individual evaluation values K41 to K43.

  The individual evaluation values K41 to K43 are calculated based on the state values x41 to x43 representing the usage history of the predetermined golf user U1a, respectively.

Based on the access history information recorded in the first individual log file FL1 of the predetermined golf user U1a, the generation unit 15 generates a state value x41 indicating the number of logins of the predetermined golf user U1a in the second period. Generate.
Specifically, the generation unit 15 counts the number of records in which “10” is recorded as the action type from the first individual log file FL1 of the predetermined golf user U1a, and sets the count result to the state value x41. . Then, the generation unit 15 calculates a value obtained by multiplying the state value x41 by a predetermined score (for example, “0.5”), or a predetermined upper limit value (for example, “10”) of the individual evaluation value K41. Of these, the smaller value is set as the individual evaluation value K41. This individual evaluation value K41 shows a large value as the number of logins of a predetermined golf user U1a increases.

Moreover, the production | generation part 15 is the action which predetermined | prescribed golf user U1a raise | generated in the 2nd period with respect to the information or delivery information transmitted from the direct golf chum Ug or indirect golf chum Ugg of predetermined | prescribed golf user U1a. A state value x42 representing the type of the is generated.
Specifically, based on the access history information recorded in the first individual log file FL1 of the predetermined golf user U1a, the generation unit 15 directly golf friends Ug or indirect golf friends of the predetermined golf user U1a The type of action that the predetermined golf user U1a has caused in the second period is specified for one piece of transmission information transmitted from Ugg. When the predetermined golf user U1a “comments” at least once in the second period with respect to the transmission information, the generation unit 15 sets “5” to the state value x42 and at least once. If the user clicks the “Like button” and does not comment, the status value x42 is set to “4”, “viewed” at least once, and “ When “comment” and “like button click” are not performed, “3” is set to the state value x42. However, when the predetermined golf user U1a does not “browse” the transmission information in the second period, the generation unit 15 does not generate the state value x42 corresponding to the transmission information.
In addition, the generation unit 15 determines whether the predetermined golf user U1a is the second for one piece of distribution information based on the access history information recorded in the first individual log file FL1 of the predetermined golf user U1a. Identify the type of action that occurred during the period. Then, when the predetermined golf user U1a “comments” at least once in the second period with respect to the distribution information, the generation unit 15 sets “8” in the state value x42, and the distribution information On the other hand, if the predetermined golf user U1a “clicks the Like button” at least once and does not “comment” in the second period, “7” is set to the state value x42. In the second period, the predetermined golf user U1a “browses” the distribution information at least once and does not “comment” and “likes to click the button” on the distribution information. In this case, “6” is set to the state value x42. However, when the predetermined golf user U1a does not “browse” the distribution information in the second period, the generation unit 15 does not generate the state value x42 corresponding to the transmission information.
In addition, when there are a plurality of transmission information or distribution information and a predetermined golf user U1a takes action on the plurality of transmission information or distribution information, the generation unit 15 A plurality of state values x42 corresponding to one-to-one are generated.
And the production | generation part 15 is a record in which the state value x42 is recorded in the state value type among the plurality of records recorded in the point management table TBL16c shown in FIG. The value recorded in the score of the record that matches the condition recorded in is set as the individual evaluation value K42. When a plurality of state values x42 are generated, the individual evaluation value K42 is set with a total value of a plurality of points corresponding to the generated state values x42, and the total value is a predetermined upper limit value. If it exceeds (for example, “20”), the upper limit value is set as the individual evaluation value K42. Moreover, the production | generation part 15 sets "0" to the separate evaluation value K42, when no state value x42 is produced | generated.
Thus, the individual evaluation value K42 shows a larger value as the number of actions that the predetermined golf user U1a has caused in the second period with respect to the transmission information or the distribution information increases. Moreover, the individual evaluation value K42 shows a large value as the degree of participation of the action caused by the predetermined golf user U1a increases.

Based on the access history information recorded in the first individual log file FL1 of the predetermined golf user U1a, the generation unit 15 indicates a state value indicating the number of times of information transmission of the predetermined golf user U1a in the second period. x43 is generated.
Specifically, the generation unit 15 counts the number of records in which “2” is recorded as the action type from the first individual log file FL1 of the predetermined golf user U1a, and sets the count result to the state value x43. .
Then, the generation unit 15 calculates a value obtained by multiplying the state value x43 by a predetermined score (for example, “1”) or a predetermined upper limit value (for example, “10”) of the individual evaluation value K43. The smaller value is set as the individual evaluation value K43. This individual evaluation value K43 shows a large value as the number of times of information transmission from the predetermined golf user U1a increases.

  The generation unit 15 calculates the evaluation value K4 by adding the generated individual evaluation values K41 to K43. Then, the generation unit 15 calculates the affinity Ps by adding the calculated evaluation values K1 to K4.

When a predetermined golf user U1a frequently logs in to the golf information application service and frequently makes comments on information transmission or other people's transmission information, between the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg It is easy to establish communication.
In this modification, since the generation unit 15 generates the affinity Ps based on the evaluation value K4 indicating the activity amount of the predetermined golf user U1a in the golf information application service, the ease of establishment of communication is considered. Thus, the display or non-display of the affinity mark S can be determined.

<Modification 3>
In the embodiment and the modification described above, the generation unit 15 generates the affinity Ps based on “an evaluation value K2 that represents the degree of interest that the target user Utg has with respect to the predetermined golf user U1a”. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and instead of the evaluation value K2, the evaluation value K5 is expressed as “the evaluation value K5 representing the degree of interest of the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg”. Based on this, the affinity Ps may be generated.
The evaluation value K5 may be any value as long as it represents the degree of interest of the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg. In this modification, the evaluation value K5 represents, for example, whether or not the two people have viewed each other's profile information, and the type and number of actions that the two people have performed on the information sent from each other Determine as
Specifically, the generating unit 15 generates an individual evaluation value K51 indicating whether or not the two persons have viewed each other's profile information in the first period, and the two persons have the other person's profiles in the second period. Individual evaluation value K52 indicating whether or not the information has been browsed, individual evaluation value K53 indicating the type and number of actions taken in the first period with respect to the information transmitted by the two persons from each other, the two persons Calculate an individual evaluation value K54 indicating the type and number of actions that occurred in the second period with respect to information transmitted from each other, and based on the calculated individual evaluation values K51 to K54, the evaluation value K5 is calculated. calculate.

  The individual evaluation values K51 to K54 are calculated based on state values x51 to x54 representing usage histories of the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg, respectively.

The generation unit 15 generates a state value x51 indicating whether or not two of the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg have viewed each other's profile information in the first period.
Specifically, based on the access history information recorded in the individual log file FL (FIGS. 18A and 18B) of the predetermined golf user U1a, the generation unit 15 makes the two people interact with each other in the first period. It is determined whether or not the other party's profile information has been browsed. This determination is made from the first individual log file FL1 corresponding to the predetermined golf user U1a, the date / time within the first period is recorded in the time stamp, “9” is recorded in the action type, and the access destination UID A record in which the identification information UID of the target user Utg is recorded is extracted from the second individual log file FL2 corresponding to the predetermined golf user U1a, and the date and time within the first period is recorded in the time stamp, A record in which “9” is recorded in the action type and the identification information UID of the target user Utg is recorded in the identification information UID may be extracted and performed based on the access history information recorded in these extracted records. . When the generation unit 15 determines that the two persons have viewed each other's profile information in the first period, the generation unit 15 sets “3” in the state value x51, and the target user Utg is in the first period. When viewing the profile information of the predetermined golf user U1a and determining that the predetermined golf user U1a did not browse the profile information of the target user Utg, the state value x51 is set to “2”, When it is determined that the predetermined golf user U1a browses the profile information of the target user Utg and the target user Utg has not browsed the profile information of the predetermined golf user U1a in the period 1, the state value x51 Is set to “1”, and it is determined that the two persons have not viewed each other's profile information in the first period, the state value x51 "0" is set.
Then, the generation unit 15 is a record in which the state value x51 is recorded in the state value type among the plurality of records recorded in the point management table TBL16d illustrated in FIG. 46, and the state value x51 is the score assignment condition. The value recorded in the score of the record that matches the condition recorded in is set as the individual evaluation value K51.
The individual evaluation value K51 indicates a large value when the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg are viewing the partner's profile information in the first period.

The production | generation part 15 produces | generates the state value x52 showing whether the predetermined golf user U1a and the object user Utg mutually browsed the other party's profile information in the 2nd period. This state value x52 is the same as the state value x51 except that it represents the presence or absence of browsing in the “second period” instead of the presence or absence of browsing in the “first period”.
Then, the generation unit 15 is a record in which the state value x52 is recorded in the state value type among the plurality of records recorded in the score management table TBL16d illustrated in FIG. 46, and the value indicated by the state value x52 is The value recorded in the score of the record that matches the condition recorded in the score assignment condition is set as the individual evaluation value K52.

The type of action that the predetermined golf user U1a took during the first period is specified. This specifying process is performed by recording the date and time within the first period in the time stamp from the first individual log file FL1 of the predetermined golf user U1a, and any of “3”, “4”, and “5” as the action type. May be recorded, and a record in which the identification information UID of the target user Utg is recorded in the access destination UID may be extracted and performed based on the access history information recorded in the extracted record. And the production | generation part 15 sets "51" to the state value x53, when predetermined | prescribed golf user U1a "comments" at least once in the 1st period with respect to the said transmission information, The said transmission information On the other hand, when the predetermined golf user U1a “clicks the like button” at least once and does not “comment” during the first period, the state value x53 is set to “41”. In the first period, the predetermined golf user U1a “brows” the transmission information at least once and did not “comment” and “like button click” on the transmission information. In this case, “31” is set to the state value x53.
Moreover, the production | generation part 15 is based on the access history information currently recorded on 2nd separate log file FL2 of predetermined | prescribed golf user U1a, and with respect to one transmission information transmitted from predetermined | prescribed golf user U1a, The type of action that the target user Utg took during the first period is specified. This specifying process is performed by recording the date and time within the first period in the time stamp from the second individual log file FL2 of the predetermined golf user U1a, and any of “3”, “4”, and “5” as the action type. May be recorded, and a record in which the identification information UID of the target user Utg is recorded in the identification information UID may be extracted and performed based on the access history information recorded in the extracted record. Then, when the target user Utg “comments” at least once in the first period with respect to the transmission information, the generation unit 15 sets “52” in the state value x53, and In the first period, if the target user Utg “clicks the Like button” at least once and does not “comment”, the state value x53 is set to “42”, and the first user If the target user Utg “browses” the transmission information at least once during the period and does not “comment” and “clicks the like button” on the transmission information, the status value x53 is set. “32” is set.
In addition, there are a plurality of transmission information from the predetermined golf user U1a or the target user Utg, and the other party “browse”, “clicks like” button, or “comments” to the plurality of transmission information. In this case, the generation unit 15 generates a plurality of state values x53 that correspond one-to-one with the plurality of pieces of transmission information.
Moreover, when both the predetermined golf user U1a and the target user Utg do not “browse” one piece of outgoing information from the opponent during the first period, the generation unit 15 corresponds to the outgoing information. The state value x53 is not generated.
Then, the generation unit 15 is a record in which the state value x53 is recorded in the state value type among the plurality of records recorded in the point management table TBL16e illustrated in FIG. 47, and the state value x53 is the score assignment condition. The value recorded in the score of the record that matches the condition recorded in is set as the individual evaluation value K53.
