Description

  The present invention relates to a server device, a service method, a program, and a non-transitory computer-readable information recording medium.

  In recent years, handling of information by a system has become common, and a user inputs information to the system on a daily basis. When the user inputs information to the system, for example, the user can input information via an input form presented by the system.

  There are techniques for supporting information input by a user. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for reducing the burden of a communication environment and a character input operation when a user inputs information via a mobile terminal.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

<Embodiment 1>
The server device 100 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention is a device for calculating a remuneration amount to be paid to a user from an activity history by the user and paying the remuneration. For example, the server device 100 has a function of providing a user with a service for making an affiliate on the Internet and providing a reward according to the affiliate by the user. Here, an affiliate means that an advertiser pays a user to a user who has taken a specific advertising activity according to the results of the advertising activity, or that the user takes such an advertising activity. . For example, when a user sees an advertisement promoting a specific product or takes an advertising action (affiliate) such as posting a blog about a specific product, the advertiser rewards the user according to the advertising action. pay. The server apparatus 100 calculates the amount of remuneration to be paid to the user from the activity history by the user (the one in which the advertising activity is recorded), and makes a settlement to pay to the user.

  But the service which the server apparatus 100 provides to a user is not limited to an affiliate activity. In another example, for example, the server apparatus 100 may provide a store service for selling an electronic book to a user. The server device 100 may record sales of electronic books as an activity history, and pay the user a reward calculated from the activity history.

  The server apparatus 100 accepts and records input of personal information (for example, my number, social security number, taxpayer number, bank account information, etc. in Japan) necessary for paying the user a reward amount. Furthermore, the server apparatus 100 deletes the recorded personal information according to a predetermined standard. In other words, if the predetermined criteria are not met, the server device 100 can retain the personal information as it is and use it for the next settlement. On the other hand, if the predetermined criteria are met, the personal information is deleted. Management is unnecessary.

  The server device 100 performs settlement to the target user when the amount of reward to the user exceeds a certain amount (second threshold). By limiting the payment of the reward amount to the user to a certain amount or more, it is possible to prevent a small amount of payment from being repeated.

  In addition, when it is expected that the remuneration amount to the user will reach the second threshold value in the near future, the server apparatus 100 inputs the personal information necessary for making a payment to the target user. It has a function to prompt. Specifically, when the amount of reward exceeds a first threshold (a value equal to or less than the second threshold but close to the second threshold), the server device 100 personal information for making a payment to the target user. It is determined whether or not is recorded. The server device 100 recommends that the target user input necessary personal information when the personal information for making a payment to the target user is not recorded.

  The first threshold value is required to be a numerical value smaller than the second threshold value and reasonably close to the second threshold value. If the first threshold is a numerical value that is separated from the second threshold, it takes a long time to reach the second threshold after the reward amount exceeds the first threshold, which is inappropriate. On the other hand, if the first threshold is a value that is too close to the second threshold, the time from when the reward amount exceeds the first threshold until the second threshold is reached may be too short. It may happen that the reward amount exceeds both the first threshold and the second threshold at the same time. As an example, the first threshold value is set to a value such as 80% or 75% of the second threshold value.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the server device 100 according to the first embodiment includes a calculation unit 11, a recommendation unit 12, a settlement unit 13, and a deletion unit 14 in terms of functions. Each of these functional units implements each function of the server apparatus 100 as a whole while accessing data such as the activity history 21, the reward amount 22, the personal information 23, and the settlement history 24.

  The calculation unit 11 calculates the amount of reward to be paid to the user U based on the activity history 21 of the user U. The calculation unit 11 extracts an activity related to a reward to be paid to the user U from the activity history 21 recorded by the server device 100, specifies a reward amount corresponding to each extracted activity, and records it as a reward amount 22.

  When the value of the reward amount recorded in the reward amount 22 is equal to or greater than the first threshold value, the recommendation unit 12 determines whether information necessary for settlement to the user U is recorded in the personal information 23. When the information necessary for settlement is not recorded in the personal information 23, the recommendation unit 12 recommends that the user U be provided with personal information necessary for settlement in preparation for a later settlement.

  When the value of the reward amount recorded in the reward amount 22 is equal to or greater than the second threshold value, the settlement unit 13 determines whether information necessary for the settlement to the user U is recorded in the personal information 23. When the information necessary for settlement is recorded in the personal information 23, the settlement unit 13 pays the user U money corresponding to the reward amount recorded in the reward amount 22 based on the recorded personal information. Make a payment. If the information necessary for payment is not recorded in the personal information 23, the payment unit 13 recommends that the user U provide personal information necessary for payment, and the necessary personal information is input together. In the event that a payment is made, it will be notified that payment will be possible. When the settlement unit 13 performs settlement, the settlement unit 13 records the details of the settlement performed in the settlement record 24.

  When the payment unit 13 makes a payment, the deletion unit 14 refers to the payment history 24, and what is the interval between the payment made to the user U this time and the payment made to the user U just before that Is determined. The deletion unit 14 deletes the personal information of the user U recorded in the personal information 23 if the determined settlement interval is equal to or greater than the threshold period.

  With the above-described configuration, the server device 100 determines whether or not the personal information of the user (user U) to be settled is recorded when the reward amount reaches the first threshold. If not, the user U can be asked to input personal information. Therefore, according to the server device 100, it is possible to keep the time from when the personal information is input until the reward amount reaches the second threshold and the settlement is performed, and to shorten the time for managing the personal information. It is possible.

  Further, the server apparatus 100 has the above-described configuration, and deletes the personal information of the user when the settlement interval is longer than the threshold period. Therefore, for a user with a long settlement interval (a user with a low settlement frequency), the server apparatus 100 deletes the personal information after completing the settlement, and does not require subsequent management. On the other hand, the server device 100 does not delete personal information for users whose settlement intervals are short. For this reason, since the server apparatus 100 performs the payment using the personal information used in the previous payment, the user having a short payment interval does not need to receive the input of the personal information for each payment.

  As described above, the server device 100 according to the present embodiment reduces the time for holding the personal information input by the user U, and deletes the personal information that is expected to be used less frequently. This makes it possible to manage the acquired personal information easily and appropriately.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the server device 100 according to the present embodiment includes a control unit 110, a recording device 120, an operation device 130, a display 140, and a network interface 150 as hardware, which are connected via an internal bus 190. Are connected to each other.

  The control unit 110 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), and the like. When the CPU of the control unit 110 executes a program recorded in the ROM or RAM, the control unit 110 controls the operation of the entire server device 100. The control unit 110 reads data such as a program from the recording device 120 as necessary, and stores the data in the recording device 120.

  The recording device 120 includes a recording device such as a hard disk drive or a flash memory, and stores data necessary for the server device 100 to operate.

  The operation device 130 includes a keyboard, a mouse, and the like, receives an input operation by the user U, and transmits the input operation to the control unit 110.

  The display 140 includes a liquid crystal display or a cathode ray tube monitor, and displays necessary information for the user of the server apparatus 100.

  The network interface 150 connects the server device 100 to the network. When the server device 100 transmits information to other devices via the network or receives information from other devices, the network interface 150 uses the information received from the control unit 110 via an internal bus 190 described later to the network. The information transmitted to the other device via the network and the information received from the other device via the network is transmitted to the control unit 110 via the internal bus 190. As an example, the server apparatus 100 transmits and receives data to and from the terminal apparatus T1 operated by the user U via the network interface 150. The user U performs the above-described affiliate or electronic book sales business through the terminal device T1 connected to the server device 100 via the network.

  Each data shown in FIG. 3 is recorded in the recording device 120. That is, in the recording device 120, a user list 29 indicating a set of users who use the server device 100 and activity-reward amount correspondence data 28 in which an activity by the user and a reward amount are associated with each other are recorded. In the recording device 120, user-specific data 20 associated with each user is recorded in association with each user recorded in the user list 29. The user-specific data 20 includes an activity history 21, a reward amount 22, personal information 23, a settlement history 24, and the like. The recording device 120 records user-specific data associated with each user who uses the server device 100.

  The activity history 21 is data in which an activity that leads to a reward amount by the user U is recorded. In the activity history 21, the date and time when the user U took an activity that leads to the reward amount, the content of the taken activity, and the like are recorded. In the activity history 21, a reward amount associated with each activity may be recorded.

  The reward amount 22 is data indicating an amount accumulated as a reward amount to be paid to the user U at that time. The amount recorded in the reward amount 22 is increased by adding the calculated reward amount when the reward amount within the calculation target period is calculated by a reward amount calculation process described later. Further, when a payment of a reward is made to the user U by a payment process to be described later, the paid amount is reduced by subtraction.

  The personal information 23 is data in which personal information necessary for paying the user U money is recorded. In the personal information 23, for example, a personal identification number (my number) of the user U, a social security number, a taxpayer number, bank account information, and the like are recorded. The server device 100 records information input by the user U in the personal information 23. In addition, the server device 100 deletes the personal information 23 recorded in the recording device 120 in a settlement process described later.

  The payment history 24 is data in which payments made by the server apparatus 100 to the user U are recorded. When the server device 100 pays the user U for the amount of payment (settlement), the server device 100 records information related to the settlement, such as the date and time and the amount paid, in the settlement history 24.

  The server apparatus 100 records the activity history 21 by executing the activity recording process shown in FIG. The server device 100 is premised on recording the activity without omission when the user takes an activity associated with the reward. For this reason, the server apparatus 100 starts the activity recording process at the same time as starting the service to the user, and then continues the activity recording process during a time zone in which the user can have an activity.

  At the beginning of the activity recording process, the server device 100 determines whether or not to detect an activity by the user (step S11). When the activity by the user is not detected (step S11: NO), the server apparatus 100 waits until the activity is detected.

  When the activity by the user is detected (step S11: YES), the server device 100 identifies the detected activity (step S12). The server device 100 detects the type of activity detected (for example, viewing of an advertisement, purchase of a product, or advertising activity (description of a comment about the product on a blog)) and the target of the activity (for example, viewed advertisement, purchase) Identified products, products targeted for advertising activities, etc.).

  Next, the server device 100 specifies the amount of reward for the specified activity (step S13). The server apparatus 100 reads the reward amount corresponding to the activity specified in step S12 from the activity-reward amount correspondence data 28.

  Next, the server apparatus 100 records information regarding the identified activity in the activity history 21 (step S14). The server device 100 aggregates data indicating the date and time when the activity is detected in step S11, the content of the activity specified in step S12, the reward amount specified in step S13, and the like to generate one record, and the activity history 21 To record.

  When the server apparatus 100 finishes the operations from step S11 to S14, it determines whether or not the condition for ending the activity recording process is satisfied (step S15). When it is determined that the end condition is satisfied (step S15: YES), the server apparatus 100 ends the activity recording process. On the other hand, when it is determined that the termination condition is not satisfied (step S15: NO), the server apparatus 100 returns the process to step S11 and repeats the subsequent processes.

  As described above, the server apparatus 100 operates on the assumption that the activity by the user is continuously monitored and recorded. Therefore, the termination condition in step S15 indicates that the server device 100 is instructed to stop the service to the user.

  By the activity recording process described so far, the server apparatus 100 records the data shown in FIG. In the activity history 21, the date and time (activity date and time) when the target user took an activity related to the reward amount, the type of activity performed by the target user and the target of the activity (activity content), and the reward associated with the activity The amount is recorded. In other words, the activity history 21 is data that individually records activities that lead to a reward amount taken by the user.

  The server apparatus 100 periodically executes the reward amount calculation process shown in FIG. Through the reward calculation process, the server apparatus 100 aggregates the rewards related to the individual activities recorded in the activity history 21 and updates the data recorded in the reward 22. From here, the reward calculation processing will be described.

  When the execution time set periodically (for example, one day or one week) arrives, the server apparatus 100 starts the reward calculation process. The execution time is set to a time zone in which the load on the server device 100 is relatively small. For example, if the execution cycle is one day, it is set to a midnight time zone (such as 1 am or 2 am) where the load on the server device 100 is considered to be small. For example, if the execution cycle is one week, it is set to a late-night time zone (Monday at 1 am or 2 am, etc.) from Sunday to Monday when the load on the server device 100 is considered to be small.

  At the beginning of the remuneration calculation process, the server device 100 reads records recorded within the calculation target period from the activity history 21 (step S21). The server apparatus 100 reads from the activity history 21 a record recorded in a period for which the amount of remuneration is to be calculated (when the execution cycle is 1 day, a day to be calculated).

  Next, the server device 100 calculates a reward amount within the calculation target period (step S22). The server apparatus 100 calculates the reward amount within the calculation target period by summing up the numerical values of the reward amounts recorded in the record read in step S21.

  Next, the server device 100 adds the calculated reward amount to the recorded reward amount (numerical data recorded in the reward amount 22) (step S23). The server device 100 reads the numerical data recorded in the reward amount 22, and records a numerical value obtained by adding the value corresponding to the reward amount calculated in step S22 to the reward amount 22. When step S23 is completed, the server apparatus 100 ends the reward calculation processing.

  When the server device 100 performs the compensation amount calculation process, the compensation amount 22 is recorded with a numerical value indicating the compensation amount that has been accumulated by the user U performing the activity and has not yet been paid to the user U. Is done.

  In step S21 of the reward calculation processing described so far, the records within the period to be calculated are extracted from the activity history 21 and read out. However, it is not limited to this. The server apparatus 100 may record information indicating whether or not it has been calculated as a reward amount in each record of the activity history 21. For example, each record may be provided with a flag indicating whether or not the record is added to the reward amount 22. In this case, the server apparatus 100 may extract a record that is flagged in a state indicating that the record is not added to the reward amount 22 from the activity history 21 in step S21.

  In the above description, the activity recording process and the reward calculation process have been described as separate processes. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the reward amount 22 may be updated each time during the activity recording process. In this case, when the server apparatus 100 specifies the reward amount of the activity in step S13 of the activity recording process, the server apparatus 100 adds the specified reward amount to the amount recorded in the reward amount 22. Thereby, whenever the server apparatus 100 specifies the reward amount of activity, the newest reward amount is recorded on the reward amount 22.

  When the execution time set periodically (for example, one day or one week) arrives, the server apparatus 100 starts the settlement preparation process shown in FIG. Generally, when the remuneration calculation process is performed periodically, the settlement preparation process may be started following the completion of the remuneration calculation process. Further, as described above, when the reward amount 22 is updated in the activity recording process, the server apparatus 100 prepares for settlement when the set execution time arrives independently of the update of the reward amount 22. The process may be started.

  The server device 100 determines whether or not the value of the recorded reward amount 22 is equal to or greater than the second threshold value at the beginning of the settlement preparation process (step S31). The server device 100 reads the data recorded in the reward amount 22, and determines whether or not the numerical value is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value (second threshold value).

  If it is determined in step S31 that the value of the recorded reward amount 22 is greater than or equal to the second threshold (step S31: YES), the server device 100 executes a settlement process described later (step S35), and settles. The preparation process ends.

  When it is determined in step S31 that the value of the recorded reward amount 22 is not equal to or greater than the second threshold (step S31: NO), the server device 100 determines that the value of the recorded reward amount 22 is the first value. It is determined whether or not the threshold value is exceeded (step S32). The server device 100 determines whether or not the numerical value indicated by the data recorded in the reward amount 22 is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold (first threshold).

  When it is determined in step S32 that the value of the recorded reward amount 22 is not equal to or greater than the first threshold (step S32: NO), the server device 100 ends the settlement preparation process as it is.

  If it is determined in step S32 that the value of the recorded reward amount 22 is greater than or equal to the first threshold (step S32: YES), the server device 100 determines whether or not personal information necessary for settlement is recorded. Is determined (step S33). The server device 100 determines whether or not personal information (personal information 23) necessary for making a payment to the user U is recorded in the recording device 120.

  If it is determined in step S33 that the personal information 23 is recorded (step S33: YES), the server apparatus 100 ends the settlement preparation process as it is.

  If it is determined in step S33 that the personal information 23 is not recorded (step S33: NO), the server device 100 recommends the user U to input personal information (step S34). The server device 100 informs the user U that the time for paying the reward amount for the activity is near and that the server device 100 needs to provide personal information in order to settle the reward amount. When step S34 is completed, the server apparatus 100 ends the payment preparation process.

  The server apparatus 100 starts the settlement process on the condition that the numerical value recorded in the reward amount 22 is equal to or larger than the second threshold by executing the settlement preparation process. The server device 100 can avoid the settlement in a state where the reward amount is small, and can execute the settlement after the reward amount accumulated for the user U becomes a certain amount.

  In addition, when the numerical value recorded in the remuneration amount 22 does not reach the second threshold value but is equal to or more than the first threshold value, the server device 100 performs payment to the user U by the payment preparation process. It is determined whether or not personal information (personal information 23) necessary for recording is recorded. If the personal information is not recorded, the user U is encouraged to input personal information. Thereby, when payment is expected in the near future, it becomes possible to receive provision of personal information from the user U before payment is actually required. Therefore, according to the server apparatus 100, it becomes possible to perform the payment process smoothly.

  As described above, the server apparatus 100 starts the settlement process when the numerical value recorded in the reward amount 22 in the settlement preparation process is equal to or greater than the second threshold. From here, the settlement processing will be described with reference to FIG.

  At the beginning of the payment process, the server device 100 determines whether or not personal information (personal information 23) necessary for payment is recorded in the recording device 120 (step S41).

  When the server apparatus 100 determines that personal information is not recorded (step S41: NO), the server apparatus 100 requests the user U to input personal information (step S46), and ends the settlement process. In this case, personal information necessary for payment is not recorded in the server device 100, and the server device 100 cannot execute payment. At a later date, when the user U inputs personal information in response to the request, the reward is settled by a settlement process executed thereafter.

  If it is determined in step S41 that personal information has been recorded (step S41: YES), the server apparatus 100 settles money corresponding to the reward amount 22 (step S42). The server device 100 reads the personal information 23 recorded in the recording device 120, and remits money corresponding to the numerical value recorded in the reward amount 22 to the destination indicated by the read data. Any means of remittance is possible. As a means of remittance, bank transfer is generally used, but in addition, a fixed amount money order or a check mail may be used. In addition, when the server device 100 performs the payment, the server device 100 records the executed payment content in the payment history 24.

  Next, the server apparatus 100 resets the recorded reward amount 22 (step S43). The server device 100 records zero as the reward amount 22 in the recording device 120.

  Next, the server apparatus 100 determines whether or not the interval from the previous settlement to the current settlement is equal to or longer than the threshold period (step S44). The server apparatus 100 refers to the payment history 24 and calculates how long the period from the previous payment to the current payment is. The server device 100 determines whether or not the calculated period length is equal to or longer than a predetermined threshold period. When it is determined that the calculated period is not longer than the threshold period (step S44: NO), the server device 100 ends the settlement process as it is. Similarly, when the content related to the previous payment is not recorded in the payment history 24, the server apparatus 100 ends the payment processing as it is.

  If it is determined in step S44 that the length of the calculated period is equal to or longer than the threshold period (step S44: YES), the server device 100 deletes the personal information 23 recorded in the recording device 120 (step S45). The payment process is terminated.

  As described above, the server device 100 calculates the length of the period from the previous payment to the current payment when performing the payment of the reward, and when the calculated length of the period is equal to or longer than the threshold period, The information 23 is deleted. That is, for users whose settlement intervals are longer than the threshold period, personal information can be deleted immediately after settlement, and management of personal information can be made unnecessary. As described above, according to the server device 100, it is possible to control the period for holding the personal information as short as possible within a range where the efficiency is not lost. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the risk in managing personal information, reduce the data capacity of stored personal information, and reduce the capacity of a required storage medium.

  In addition, in step S <b> 44 of the payment process, when a user who has not yet made a payment for a reward has made a payment for the first time, it is assumed that the content related to the previous payment is not recorded in the payment history 24. In this case, the server device 100 does not delete the personal information 23. However, in such a case, it is unclear when the target user will make a next payment. Therefore, it is difficult to determine whether or not to manage personal information of the target user.

  In order to deal with such a case, the server apparatus 100 may delete personal information for a user whose payment history 24 is recorded only once when a period equal to or greater than the threshold period has elapsed. Specifically, the server device 100 determines whether or not the time when the settlement for the same user was performed immediately before the settlement is recorded in the settlement history 24 after performing the settlement in step S42 of the settlement process. May be determined. If it is determined that the data is recorded, the server device 100 continues to execute the settlement process after step S43. If it is determined that the information is not recorded, the server apparatus 100 sets the time after the elapse of the threshold period from the settlement in the current settlement process as the expiration date for the personal information of the user.

  The server device 100 later deletes the personal information of the user when the expiration date has passed without the remuneration for the user being settled again. The server device 100 can delete the personal information of the user who has paid the reward amount only once, and the management of the personal information can be made unnecessary when a period longer than the threshold period elapses from the payment. Here, the threshold period may be independent of the threshold period used in step S44 of the settlement process, or may be handled in association with each other.

  Server apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment deletes personal information when the interval from the previous payment to the current payment is equal to or greater than the threshold period in step S44 of the payment process. This is because if the interval from the previous payment to the current payment is equal to or longer than the threshold period, the interval until the next payment to be paid to the user is expected to be long.

  Even if the personal information has been recorded once, if there is a long period until it is used again, there is a high possibility that the information will be changed within that period. Therefore, if it is expected that the blank period when personal information is not used will be long, it is more accurate to delete the personal information once and ask for the re-input of the personal information when the personal information is required next time. It is appropriate to perform processing based on The server apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment estimates the payment interval until the next payment to be paid to the user from the interval from the previous payment to the current payment, and the payment interval is equal to or greater than the threshold period. For example, the user's personal information used for settlement is deleted.

  Here, the server apparatus 100 may estimate the payment interval until the next payment to be paid to the user by using another method. As an example, the server device 100 records not only a user who has made a payment but also user-specific data and payment history of other users in the recording device 120. The server device 100 may estimate the payment time when the next payment to be paid to the user is performed by analyzing the payment history of the user group recorded in the recording device 120.

  Specifically, the server device 100 may analyze a statistical trend of a payment interval with respect to a user by referring to the payment history of another user recorded in the recording device 120. For example, the server device 100 refers to the payment history 24 of each user, and compares the ratio between the interval from the first payment to the second payment and the interval from the subsequent n-th payment to the (n + 1) -th payment. Calculate the value. In addition, when the user makes an n-th payment, the server device 100 multiplies the interval from the first payment to the second payment for the user by the calculated ratio value to the user. Estimate the payment interval until the next settlement of. In this way, it is possible to estimate the settlement time with higher accuracy by referring to the settlement history of not only the target user but also other users.

<Embodiment 2>
The server device 100 described in the first embodiment recommends the user U to input personal information when the recorded value of the reward amount 22 is equal to or greater than the first threshold value. However, the timing for recommending the user U to input personal information is not limited to this. In the second embodiment, based on the activity history 21, after estimating the time when the numerical value of the remuneration amount 22 exceeds the second threshold, and before a predetermined period from the estimated time, (the personal information is recorded). The server device 100 that encourages the user U to input personal information will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the server device 100 according to the present embodiment includes an estimation unit 15 in addition to the functional units (calculation unit 11, recommendation unit 12, settlement unit 13, and deletion unit 14) included in the server device 100. Prepare. The estimation unit 15 estimates the time when the numerical value of the reward amount 22 exceeds the second threshold, and records the time as the estimated time 26.

  A specific example of the estimation procedure will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a graph showing the date and time transition of the numerical value of the reward amount 22, in which the horizontal axis indicates the date and time, and the vertical axis indicates the numerical value of the reward amount 22. In the figure, line L1 indicates a line whose reward amount is the first threshold, and line L2 indicates a line whose reward amount is the second threshold. P1 to P3 indicate numerical values recorded as the reward amount on the first date, the reward amount on the second date, and the reward amount on the third date, respectively.

  In this example, the reward amount continues to increase from the first date to the third date, and the reward amount at the third date is equal to or greater than the first threshold. The server device 100 estimates the time when the reward amount exceeds the second threshold value because the reward amount becomes equal to or greater than the first threshold value at the third date and time. Specifically, the transition of the reward amount at the first to third dates is analyzed, and the time when the reward amount exceeds the second threshold is estimated on the assumption that the reward amount increases at this pace. That is, a line approximation (line L3) obtained by linearly approximating the fluctuation of the reward amount from the results P1 to P3 and extending the derived line after the third date and time, and a line where the reward amount is the second threshold ( The coordinates of the intersection (point P4) with the line L2) are calculated.

  That is, in the estimation by the server device 100, it is expected that the reward amount will exceed the second threshold value at the date and time (DT1) corresponding to the point P4 due to the future change of the reward amount. Therefore, the server apparatus 100 recommends the user U to input personal information at a date DT2 that goes back a predetermined period from the date DT1. In this way, personal information can be collected at a time closer to the settlement time.

  In addition, in this way, it is possible to estimate the time when the reward amount is expected to exceed the second threshold, and to adjust and set the first threshold based on the estimated time. A specific procedure for adjusting the first threshold will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 11 is a graph showing the date and time transition of the numerical value of the reward amount 22, with the horizontal axis indicating the date and time and the vertical axis indicating the numerical value of the reward amount 22. Further, in the figure, P1 to P4, line L2, and line L3 are the same as those shown in FIG.

  In this example, the server apparatus 100 estimates the date and time (DT1) at which the reward amount exceeds the second threshold based on the date and time transition of the numerical value of the reward amount 22 periodically or triggered by the occurrence of some event. To do. The server device 100 specifies that the date and time (DT2) that goes back a predetermined period after DT1 is the time when the user U should be encouraged to input personal information. Server apparatus 100 estimates the value of date and time DT2 on line L3 (point P5 in the figure) as the amount of remuneration to be paid to the user at the time when the input of personal information should be recommended. The server apparatus 100 sets the estimated reward amount as the first threshold value.

  That is, in the estimation by the server device 100, the date and time (DT1) that the reward amount is expected to exceed the second threshold is estimated based on the transition of the reward amount, and the date and time (DT2) that goes back a predetermined period from DT1 ) (A numerical value in P5) is estimated, and the first threshold is set together with the estimated reward. The server device 100 recommends the user U to input personal information when the reward amount is equal to or greater than the first threshold value. In this way, personal information can be collected at a time closer to the settlement time.

<Modification 1>
So far, the embodiment in which the threshold period is set in the server apparatus 100 in advance has been described. However, the server apparatus 100 may adjust the threshold period according to the situation of each user. That is, the server apparatus 100 may analyze the payment record (the payment history 24) and set the threshold period.

  Specifically, for example, a user who has recorded a large number of payments in the past in the payment history 24 is considered to be a fixed user who has used a service provided by the server device 100 for a long period of time. It is estimated that a user who uses the server apparatus 100 in a fixed manner has a high probability that the payment is performed again even when the payment interval is long. On the other hand, it is presumed that a user (so-called light user) in which only a small number of payments are recorded in the payment history 24 (so-called light user) is less likely to require payment next time than a fixed user. The Therefore, the server apparatus 100 may set a longer threshold period for a user who has recorded more payments in the payment history 24 than a user who has recorded fewer payments.

  For example, the server apparatus 100 sets the threshold period to 3 months for users whose payment history 24 is recorded less than 3 times in the payment history 24. Furthermore, the server apparatus 100 sets the threshold period to 6 months for users whose payment records are recorded in the payment history 24 three times or more and less than 10 times, and thresholds for users who are recorded 10 times or more. Set the period to one year. By doing so, it is possible to reduce the possibility that personal information will be deleted for a user who can expect the next settlement, and to reduce the work effort at the time of the next settlement.

  Further, the server device 100 may classify the target user into a user pattern based not only on the number of settlements remaining in the settlement history 24 but also on the settlement frequency recorded in the settlement history 24. The server apparatus 100 sets a threshold value for each user based on a calculation method associated with the corresponding user pattern.

For example, it is assumed that the server device 100 classifies users into the following four patterns.
(1) Low frequency / stable users (2) High frequency / stable users (3) Multi-variable users (4) Other

  Here, the “low frequency / stable user” is a user whose settlement interval is relatively long (for example, 6 months or more), but settlement is performed stably and variation in the settlement interval is small. . The server apparatus 100 adds, to this group, users who satisfy two conditions: (1a) the average value of the settlement intervals is larger than a predetermined value (1b) that the standard deviation of the settlement intervals is smaller than the predetermined value. Classify.

  A user who falls under the pattern of “low frequency / stable user” is likely to be able to expect the next payment while the payment interval is widened. Therefore, the server apparatus 100 sets the threshold period for the user corresponding to the pattern of “low frequency / stable user”, for example, “average value of settlement intervals + standard deviation of settlement intervals × 3”, for example. The server apparatus 100 can reduce the possibility that personal information is deleted for a user corresponding to the pattern of “low frequency / stable user”.

  Next, the “high frequency / stable user” is a user whose settlement interval is relatively short and is settled stably. The server apparatus 100 adds, to this group, users who satisfy the two conditions of (2a) that the average value of the settlement intervals is smaller than a predetermined value (2b) that the standard deviation of the settlement intervals is smaller than the predetermined value. Classify.

  It is more convenient for the server device 100 to hold personal information while the user corresponding to the pattern of “high frequency / stable user” is being settled at a normal pace. On the other hand, if there is a sudden interval between payments, it is suspected that the service usage of the server device 100 by the user has suddenly decreased. Therefore, in order to be able to delete personal information in such a case, the server apparatus 100 sets a threshold period for a user corresponding to the pattern of “high frequency / stable user”, for example, “average value of settlement intervals + settlement interval”. Standard deviation ".

  A “multi-variable user” is a user who has a large number of settlement histories and a mixture of cases where the settlement intervals are long and short. The server device 100 (3a) has a settlement result of a predetermined number of times or more, (3b) the standard deviation of the settlement interval is large in comparison with the average value (for example, the standard deviation is more than two-thirds of the average value). The users who meet the two points condition (eg, is also large) are classified into this group.

  For users who fall under the “multi-variable user” pattern, the payment interval varies greatly, and even after payment is made at a short interval, the interval until the next payment may become long. Therefore, the server apparatus 100 sets the threshold period for the user corresponding to the “multi-variable user” pattern, for example, “median value of settlement interval”. By setting in this way, the server apparatus 100 retains personal information for users corresponding to the “multi-variable user” pattern when the settlement interval is short, and omits re-input labor, Personal information is deleted when the interval is long.

  The “other users” are users who do not correspond to the three types of user patterns described so far (“low frequency / stable user”, “high frequency / stable user”, “multi-variable user”). The server apparatus 100 classifies users who do not meet any of the conditions described so far into the “other” group. The threshold period set by the server apparatus 100 for a user that matches the user pattern “other than that” is arbitrary. For example, the server device 100 sets a uniform threshold period or a threshold period associated with the number of payments recorded in the payment history 24 for users who match the user pattern “other than that”. .

<Modification 2>
In the embodiment and the modification described so far, the server apparatus 100 can access only the personal information recorded by itself. In the second modification, a case will be described in which the server device 100 can access not only personal information recorded by itself but also personal information recorded by other server devices.

  The server device 100 according to the second modification is a device for paying a user a reward. Further, it is assumed that a service provider that provides a service to the user using the server device 100 operates a business that handles payment itself, such as a credit card related business or a bank business. In such a case, even if the server device 100 itself does not have the personal information necessary for payment of the remuneration, another server device operated by the same business operator has the personal information necessary for payment. There is a case.

  In general, even when the same business is operated, personal information collected with limited use cannot be used for other purposes without the permission of the person indicated by the personal information. In the second modification, the server device 100 has (1) personal information recorded in another accessible server device, even if no personal information is recorded in its own device, and (2) the user's consent is obtained. In such a case, (3) the personal information recorded in another server device is accessed in a form that can be referred to only when the target settlement is made.

  Specifically, the server device 100 in the second modification executes the settlement preparation process shown in FIG. 12 at the same timing as in the first embodiment. Of the settlement preparation process shown in FIG. 12, steps S31 to S35 are the same as those shown in FIG. 7, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  If the server apparatus 100 in the second modification determines that the personal information 23 is not recorded in step S33 of the settlement preparation process (step S33: NO), the server apparatus 100 sends another accessible server apparatus to the server apparatus 100. An inquiry is made as to whether or not the target personal information is recorded (step S36). Here, the server apparatus 100 inquires “whether or not personal information is recorded”, and does not provide the personal information itself. When the reply that the target personal information is not recorded is received from another server device (step S36: NO), the server device 100 ends the settlement preparation process.

  When receiving an answer from the other server device that the target personal information is recorded (step S36: YES), the server device 100 uses the personal information recorded in the other server device as a user. It is determined whether or not U's consent is obtained (step S37). The server device 100 informs the user U that the time of payment of the reward amount for the activity is near and that information necessary for the payment of the reward amount is recorded in another server device, An inquiry is made as to whether personal information recorded in another server device may be used for settlement.

  In step S37, when consent is obtained from the user U to use personal information recorded in another server device for settlement (step S37: YES), the server device 100 has obtained consent. Is recorded (step S38), and the payment preparation process is terminated.

  In step S37, if the user U has not obtained consent for using the personal information recorded in another server device for payment (step S37: NO), the server device 100 gives the user U an individual. Information input is recommended (step S34). The server device 100 informs the user U that the time for paying the reward amount for the activity is near and that the server device 100 needs to provide personal information in order to settle the reward amount. When step S34 is completed, the server apparatus 100 ends the payment preparation process.

  As described above, the server device 100 according to the modified example 2 has (1) that the numerical value recorded in the reward amount 22 when the settlement preparation process is executed is between the first threshold value and the second threshold value (2). The server device 100 does not record personal information necessary for payment (3) The personal information necessary for payment is recorded in another server device (4) The approval by the user U is obtained. When the four conditions are satisfied, it is recorded that the consent is obtained from the user U, and the user U is not requested to input personal information. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the cost and risk due to the server device 100 itself storing personal information.

  The server apparatus 100 according to the second modification performs settlement using personal information provided from another server apparatus. However, it is desirable to handle personal information provided from other server devices strictly. When the server device 100 performs a payment, it is desirable to acquire personal information necessary for the payment from other server devices as so-called one-time data (data that is referred to only at the time of use and is deleted when the use is completed). That is, when payment processing is performed using personal information provided from another server device, the server device 100 may delete the personal information from its own device when the payment processing is completed. .

  The server apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention can be realized by using a normal computer system without using a dedicated system. For example, a computer-readable storage such as a flexible disk, a CD-ROM (Compact Disk-Read Only Memory), a DVD (Digital Versatile Disk), or an MO (Magnet Optical disk) is stored in a computer. A source program analysis system that executes the above-described processing may be configured by storing and distributing the program in a medium and installing it in a computer system. Furthermore, the program may be stored in a disk device or the like included in a server device on the Internet, and may be downloaded onto a computer by being superimposed on a carrier wave, for example.

  Further, the server device according to the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to one realized by a single device. A plurality of computers may share the functions of the above-described units, thereby providing each function as one system including the plurality of computers.

  Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail so far, the present invention is not limited to such specific embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention described in the claims. Can be changed.
