[1. Information processing)
First, an example of information processing according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of information processing according to the embodiment. Information processing according to the embodiment is performed by the information processing apparatus 100 illustrated in FIG. 1.

First, the information processing system 1 will be described. In the example of FIG. 1, the information processing system 1 according to the embodiment includes a terminal device 10, the store server 30 _1, the shop server 30 _2, the store server 30 _3, and an information processing apparatus 100. The terminal device 10, the store server 30 ₁ , the store server 30 ₂ , the store server 30 ₃ , and the information processing device 100 are connected to be communicable by wire or wireless via a network. Note that the information processing system 1 illustrated in FIG. 1 may include a plurality of information processing apparatuses 100.

  Next, each device included in the information processing system 1 will be described. The terminal device 10 is a terminal device used by a user. For example, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a notebook PC (Personal Computer), a desktop PC, a mobile phone, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), or the like. is there.

Next, the store server 30 ₁ , the store server 30 _2, and the store server 30 ₃ will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the shop server 30 ₁ is a server device belonging to the store SH1. Also, the shop server 30 ₂ is a server device belonging to the store SH2. The store server _{30. 3} is a server device that belongs to the store SH3.

To explain the store server 30 ₁ Example, the store server 30 ₁ is read against a terminal device that is used when performing accounting in the shop SH1 PoS (Point of Sale) terminal (also referred to as registers) Collectively manage information. For example, the store server 30 ₁ stores the purchase data is information about products purchased at a store SH1 in a predetermined storage unit of the own device. For even the store server 30 ₂ and the store server 30 _3, the store of interest differ only, similar processing is performed.

  Here, the premise of information processing according to the embodiment will be described. When the management company that manages the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment is “company T”, the premise of information processing according to the embodiment is that the company T has received predetermined data from an operator in advance. Is.

  For example, the company T receives predetermined data provided by each company from each company trying to attract customers by distributing contents such as advertisement contents and electronic coupons including the stores SH1 to SH3 shown in FIG. .

  The company is not limited to a company that operates a store that sells products, but may be a company that provides a service (for example, a company that performs a delivery service or a company that operates a hotel).

Further, in the present embodiment, as described below, an example of “operator” is described as “store”. For example, an expression such as “store SH1 browses” or “store SH1 sets“ is ”is“ an operator operating store SH1 browses ”or“ business operating store SH1 ” The person may include a concept such as “sets”. Further, for example, expression such as "acquired is transmitted from the store server 30 ₁ store SH1 request" is intended, which may include a concept such as "operators operating stores SH1 transmits an acquisition request". In addition, the expression “another store different from the store SH1” may include a concept such as “a store operated by an operator different from the operator operating the store SH1”.

  The predetermined data is purchase data that is information about purchased products and services used. As will be described later, the purchase data includes information such as what kind of products the user, that is, the customer (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “user”) has purchased, or what service is used. included. Therefore, the purchase data according to the embodiment can be interpreted as customer data.

  For example, the company T may receive purchase data by paying a fee to the above-mentioned business. In another example, the company T may receive purchase data by signing a predetermined contract with a business operator. An example is shown for such a contract.

  Company T provides a system that makes payments smoother by providing users with applications (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “application AP”) that enable the purchase of goods by using credit cards or electronic money. Realized. For this reason, for example, when a product is purchased using a credit card via the application AP, the store side bears the settlement fee generated in the settlement process for settlement of the purchase price at this time to a credit card company or the like. There is a case to let you.

  In the above contract, instead of discounting the settlement fee, the company T provides the purchase data owned by the business operator, and the purchase data provided by another business operator different from the business operator is disclosed to the business operator. To do.

  With respect to the above assumption, each store, which is a business shown in FIG. 1, receives a price from company T (sells purchase data to company T) or has a contract as described above. Suppose you provide your own purchase data. Providing purchase data from the store to the company T is performed between server devices, for example.

For example, an employee of the store SH1 operates the terminal device, issues an instruction to the store server 30 _1. In response to the instruction, the store server 30 ₁ transmits the purchase data to the information processing apparatus 100 of the company T. The same applies to other stores. Then, the information processing apparatus 100 stores purchase data provided from a business operator (a store in the example of FIG. 1) in the purchase data storage unit 122.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the purchase data storage unit 122 includes items such as “store ID”, “business category”, “user ID”, “transaction date”, “product name”, and “purchase price”. It is. “Store ID” indicates identification information for identifying a store where the corresponding user has purchased the product. The “industry category” is a category that is assigned depending on the sales style of the store, the type of product sold, the size of the store, and the like, and indicates the type of store, for example. “User ID” indicates identification information for identifying a user who uses the store. “Transaction date” indicates the date of merchandise sales performed between the user and the store. In other words, it indicates the date on which the user purchased the product at the corresponding store.

  “Product name” indicates the name of the product purchased by the user at the corresponding store. The “product name” may be predetermined identification information (for example, JAN code) that can identify the product name. “Purchase price” indicates the amount paid when the product indicated by the corresponding “product name” is purchased.

The purchase data storage unit 122 illustrated in FIG. 1 is a store (store) in which the information processing apparatus 100 is a store that belongs to the industry category “super” from the store SH1 (store server 30 ₁ ) and is identified by the store ID “SH1”. In SH1), the user (user U1) identified by the user ID “U1” has “canned beer set” of “1,200 yen” and “domestic product” of “500 yen” on “October 2, 2016”. The example which received provision of a series of purchase data, such as having purchased "Pig rose 200g".

  Now, the premise part of the information processing according to the embodiment, that is, the point that the information processing apparatus 100 is provided with purchase data owned by the business operator from each business operator in advance has been described. Hereinafter, information processing according to the embodiment will be described.

  The information processing apparatus 100 performs processing for providing purchase data provided from each business operator to a business operator different from the business operator. At this time, the information processing apparatus 100 considers the relationship between the operators. Specifically, the information processing apparatus 100 accepts a purchase data acquisition request from another business operator that is different from the predetermined business operator. The information processing apparatus 100 then transmits the acquisition request transmission among the other operators based on the relationship between the acquisition request transmission source operator and another operator different from the request transmission source operator. Determine the provider of data available to the original provider.

  In other words, the information processing apparatus 100 determines the acquisition request among other operators based on the relationship between the acquisition request transmission source operator and another operator different from the request transmission source operator. For the transmission source business owner, the provider that provides the data that can be used by the provider of the acquisition request transmission source is determined. The data that can be used by the acquisition request transmission source operator is purchase data of another operator different from the acquisition request transmission source operator.

  In the example of FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 100 receives a purchase data acquisition request for another store from the store. And the information processing apparatus 100 is based on the relationship between the store from which the acquisition request is transmitted and the store from which the acquisition request is transmitted is different from the store from which the acquisition request is transmitted. Determine the store from which purchase data is provided. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 sets stores other than stores that belong to the same industry category to which the acquisition request transmission source store belongs as stores that provide purchase data. decide. An example of such information processing will be specifically described.

  Hereinafter, a purchase data acquisition request may be simply referred to as an “acquisition request”. In addition, the acquisition request transmission source store may be simply referred to as “request transmission source store”.

Hereinafter, a case where the request transmission source store is the store SH1 will be described as an example. In such a case, the shop server 30 _1, for example, according to an instruction of the employees of the store SH1, transmits an acquisition request for purchasing data for other stores other than the store SH1 to the information processing apparatus 100 (step S1).

  When the information processing apparatus 100 receives the acquisition request, the purchase data is provided to the store SH1 among the other stores based on the relationship between the store SH1 as the request transmission source and the store other than the store SH1. The store to be the provider to be provided is determined (step S2). Stores other than the store SH1 indicate, for example, stores stored in the purchase data storage unit 122, that is, stores that provide purchase data to the company T.

  The determination process performed in step S2 will be specifically described. The information processing apparatus 100 determines stores other than the store SH1, excluding stores belonging to the same industry category as the industry category to which the store SH1 belongs, as stores that provide the purchase data. . In the example of FIG. 1, the store SH1 belongs to the industry category “Super”. Similarly, the store belonging to the business category “super” is the store SH2.

  Therefore, the information processing apparatus 100 excludes the store SH3 belonging to the same industry category “super” as the store SH1 from the stores SH2, SH3, and SH4, which are stores other than the store SH1, and thereby stores the stores SH3 and SH3. Specify SH4. That is, the information processing apparatus 100 determines the stores SH3 and SH4 as stores that provide the purchase data. That is, the information processing apparatus 100 determines that purchase data provided from each of the stores SH3 and SH4 is to be provided to the store SH1.

And the information processing apparatus 100 provides the shop SH1 with the purchase data of the shops SH3 and SH4 by determining the shops SH3 and SH4 as the shops to be provided with the purchase data (step S3). As an example of providing, for example, the information processing apparatus 100, to the shop server 30 ₁ store SH1, may transmit the purchase data store SH3 and SH4. Further, the information processing apparatus 100, the store server 30 ₁ has accessed (request transmission) in particular depending, may be controlled in a state capable of browsing the purchasing data store SH3 and SH4 from the terminal device of the store SH1.

  As described above, when the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment receives the acquisition request, the information processing apparatus 100 identifies a business operator other than the business enterprise that belongs to the same business category as the business category to which the request transmission source business enterprise belongs. Then, the information processing apparatus 100 provides purchase data received from the identified business operator to the requesting business operator.

  Here, for example, a case where purchase data of the store SH1 is provided to the store SH2 belonging to the same business category as the store SH1 is considered. Since the store SH1 and the store SH2 are in the same industry, it can be considered that the products, customer base, sales strategy, etc. handled in both stores are relatively similar. For this reason, the store SH1 can grasp the purchase tendency for each user such as which user is purchasing what and when in the store SH2, for example, by browsing the purchase data of the store SH2.

  Accordingly, the store SH1 may set the targeting information with reference to the purchase data of the store SH2 in the information processing apparatus 100, and thus the customer of the store SH2 may be taken into the store. In such a case, it is considered that the profit of the store SH2 decreases, and it becomes a disadvantageous situation in the product sales.

  However, the information processing apparatus 100 can prevent each business operator from using the data of the business operator that is considered to be in a competitive relationship with the business operator by performing the above-described processing. It is possible to prevent a part of the business from being disadvantaged due to being taken away.

  In addition, since the information processing apparatus 100 can browse purchase data of businesses with different types of business categories, that is, businesses that are not considered to be in a competitive relationship, the information processing device 100 can use such purchase data to provide business operators. Can distribute content (for example, coupons). Specifically, since the information processing apparatus 100 can set effective targeting information with reference to purchase data of businesses with different types of business categories, it can improve profits in content distribution.

  For example, suppose that the store SH1 that can use the purchase data of the stores SH3 and SH4 wants to conduct a bargain sale of beef. In such a case, the store SH1 uses the purchase data of the stores SH3 and SH4 belonging to the industry category “Yakiniku” to provide the information processing apparatus 100 with targeting information targeting a user who is considered to be “meat lover”. Can be specified.

  For example, it is assumed that the store SH1 designates the targeting information “users using the stores SH3 and SH4 within one week” and submits a coupon such as “beef 50% off”. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 100 distributes the coupon of the store SH1 to the user U5 using the store SH3 that is a yakiniku restaurant (step S4).

  As a result, the information processing apparatus 100 can realize pinpoint content distribution targeting a specific user to the business operator, and therefore can realize content distribution according to the business operator's strategy. . Moreover, the information processing apparatus 100 can perform content distribution with high appeal from such a thing.

  Moreover, the information processing apparatus 100 can also suppress a situation in which a coupon is unnecessarily distributed to a user who is considered not interested in the contents of the coupon.

The data acquisition request is a request to provide the purchase data provided to the company T by another store different from the acquisition request transmission source operator (the acquisition request transmission source operator).

(About the determination unit 132)
The determination unit 132 determines a provider that is a provider of data that can be used by the predetermined provider based on the relationship between the predetermined provider and another provider different from the predetermined provider. . For example, when the reception unit 131 receives an acquisition request, the determination unit 132 determines whether a request transmission source business operator that is a predetermined business operator and another business operator that is different from the request transmission source business operator. Based on the relationship, among the other business operators, the business operator that determines the provider of data that can be used by the business operator of the request transmission source is determined. That is, the determination unit 132 determines a provider that is a provider from which predetermined data is provided to the request sender.

  For example, when a store operated by a predetermined business operator is taken as an example, when the request is received by the receiving unit 131, the determination unit 132 determines whether the request transmission source store and the request transmission source store are Based on the relationship with another different store, the store from which the purchase data is provided to the request transmission source store is determined among the other stores. Three patterns are exemplified for such determination processing. The other store different from the request transmission source store means a store operated by an operator different from the operator operating the request transmission source store.

(First pattern: industry category)
First, the first pattern will be described. The first pattern corresponds to that described in FIG. In the first pattern, the determination unit 132 uses the purchase data (the acquisition request transmission source store is available) according to the business category to which the request transmission source store belongs, among other stores different from the request transmission source store. Store that provides the data). For example, the determination unit 132 sets stores other than stores belonging to the same or similar business category to which the request transmission source store belongs as stores that provide the purchase data. decide.

For example, the receiving unit 131, and receives the acquisition request transmitted from the store server 30 ₁ store SH1. In this case, the determination unit 132 provides the purchase data provided to the store SH1 among the other stores based on the relationship between the store SH1 that is the request transmission source and other stores other than the store SH1. The store to become will be determined.

  Specifically, the determination unit 132 refers to the purchase data storage unit 122 and excludes stores that belong to the same industry category as the industry category to which the store SH1 belongs, among the stores other than the store SH1 that is the request transmission source. The store is determined as the store from which purchase data is provided. In the example of FIG. 5, the store SH1 belongs to the industry category “Super”. Similarly, stores belonging to the business category “super” are stores SH2 and SH6.

  Therefore, the determination unit 132 excludes the stores SH2 and SH6 belonging to the same industry category “super” as the store SH1 from the stores SH2 to SH6 which are stores other than the store SH1, thereby storing the stores SH3 to SH5. Is identified. That is, in the first pattern, the determination unit 132 determines stores SH3 to SH5 as stores that provide the purchase data. In other words, the determination unit 132 determines that the purchase data provided from each of the stores SH3 to SH5 is to be provided to the store SH1.

(Second pattern: location)
Next, the second pattern will be described. In the second pattern, the determination unit 132 uses the purchase data (used by the acquisition request transmission source store) according to the location area where the request transmission source store is located among other stores different from the request transmission source store. Determine the store that will provide the available data. For example, the determination unit 132 determines stores other than stores that are located in a predetermined area where the request transmission source store is located, as stores that provide the purchase data.

For example, the receiving unit 131, and receives the acquisition request transmitted from the store server 30 ₁ store SH1. In this case, the determination unit 132 provides the purchase data provided to the store SH1 among the other stores based on the relationship between the store SH1 that is the request transmission source and other stores other than the store SH1. The store to become will be determined.

  Specifically, the determination unit 132 refers to the purchase data storage unit 122, and excludes stores located in a predetermined area where the store SH1 is located among stores other than the store SH1 that is the request transmission source. The store is determined as a store from which purchase data is provided. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the predetermined area is an “district” that is an administrative division.

  In the example of FIG. 5, the store SH1 is located in the “Meguro-ku, Tokyo” area. Similarly, the store SH2 is located in the “Meguro-ku, Tokyo” area.

  Therefore, the determination unit 132 excludes the store SH2 located in the “Meguro-ku, Tokyo” area where the store SH1 is located from the stores SH2 to SH6 that are stores other than the store SH1. As a result, in the second pattern, the determination unit 132 determines the remaining stores SH3 to SH6 as stores that provide the purchase data.

  Note that when the second pattern is used, the determination unit 132 may also consider the first pattern. In such a case, the determination unit 132 determines the stores SH3 to SH5 as stores that provide the purchase data by excluding the store SH6 that belongs to the same business category “super” as the store SH1.

(Third pattern: Corporate group)
Next, the third pattern will be described. In the third pattern, the determination unit 132 selects purchase data (request) from stores other than stores belonging to a group having a predetermined relationship with a predetermined group to which the request transmission source store belongs. Data that can be used by the store of the transmission source) is determined as a store to be provided.

For example, the receiving unit 131, and receives the acquisition request transmitted from the store server 30 ₁ store SH1. In this case, the determination unit 132 provides the purchase data provided to the store SH1 among the other stores based on the relationship between the store SH1 that is the request transmission source and other stores other than the store SH1. The store to become will be determined.

  Specifically, the determination unit 132 refers to the purchase data storage unit 122 and among the stores other than the store SH1 that is the request transmission source, the company group having a predetermined relationship with the company group to which the store SH1 belongs. Stores excluding stores belonging to are determined as stores that provide the purchase data. The determining unit 132 also considers the first pattern (excluding operators belonging to the same industry category) and the second pattern (excluding operators in the same area).

  Here, it is assumed that the predetermined relationship is a competitive relationship. The company groups G1 and G5 are in a competitive relationship. In the example of FIG. 5, the store SH5 belongs to the company group G5 that has a competitive relationship with the company group G1.

  Therefore, the determination unit 132 excludes the store SH5 belonging to the company group G5 that is in competition with the company group G1 to which the store SH1 belongs from the stores SH2 to SH6 that are stores other than the store SH1. As a result, in the third pattern, the determination unit 132 determines the remaining stores SH2, SH3, SH4, and SH6 as stores that provide the purchase data.

  In addition, when using the 3rd pattern, the determination part 132 may also consider the said 1st and 2nd pattern. In such a case, the determination unit 132 excludes the stores SH6 and SH2 that belong to the same industry category “super” as the store SH1 and are located in the “Meguro-ku, Tokyo” area where the store SH1 is located. Therefore, the determination unit 132 determines the stores SH3 and SH4 as stores that provide the purchase data.

(About the providing unit 133)
The providing unit 133 provides the purchase data of the business determined by the determination unit 132 to the business that is the request transmission source. Specifically, the providing unit 133 provides data of the business operator determined by the determining unit 132 and usable by the business operator of the request transmission source to the business operator of the request transmission source. For example, the providing unit 133 provides the store purchase data determined by the determining unit 132 to the request transmission source store. That is, the data that can be used by the request transmission source business includes, for example, information related to products purchased at the store (business) determined by the determination unit 132.

  In the said 1st pattern, the determination part 132 showed the example which determined store SH3-SH5 as a store used as the provision source from which purchase data are provided. In this example, the providing unit 133 provides purchase data associated with the store IDs “SH3”, “SH4”, and “SH5” among the purchase data stored in the purchase data storage unit 122 to the store SH1.

  In this way, the information processing apparatus 100 provides the request transmission source operator with the purchase data of the other operators excluding the operator considered to be in a competitive relationship with the request transmission source operator. Thereby, for example, the information processing apparatus 100 is deprived of a customer by a rival business operator (in the example of FIG. 5, the purchase data of the store SH2 is passed to the store SH1, so that the store SH1 stores the store SH1. For example, it is possible to provide purchase data useful for content distribution to the business operator of the request transmission source while preventing the SH2 customer from being taken away and the store SH2 from becoming disadvantageous.

  Moreover, in the said 2nd pattern, the determination part 132 showed the example which determined store SH3-SH6 as a store used as the provision source from which purchase data are provided. Also in this example, the providing unit 133 sets the purchase data associated with the store IDs “SH3”, “SH4”, “SH5”, and “SH6” among the purchase data stored in the purchase data storage unit 122 to the store SH1. To provide.

  In this way, the information processing apparatus 100 is a business operator that is considered to be in a competitive relationship with the request transmission source business operator and excludes other business operators that exist in the same area as the request transmission source business operator. Providing the purchase data of the operator to the request sender. As a result, the information processing apparatus 100 prevents, for example, a customer from being robbed by a rival business operator (if the distance is short, the store SH1 can more easily attract customers of the store SH2). For example, it is possible to provide purchase data useful for content distribution for the request sender.

  Moreover, in the said 3rd pattern, the determination part 132 showed the example which determined store SH2, SH3, SH4, SH6 as a store used as the provision source from which purchase data is provided. In this example, the providing unit 133 sets purchase data associated with the store IDs “SH2”, “SH3”, “SH4”, and “SH6” among the purchase data stored in the purchase data storage unit 122 to the store SH1. To provide.

  In this way, the information processing apparatus 100 provides purchase data of other businesses, excluding businesses belonging to a business group that has a competitive relationship with the business group to which the business of the request transmission source belongs, to the business of the request transmission source. To do. Thereby, the information processing apparatus 100 can prevent, for example, a rival company from taking a customer and causing one business operator to be disadvantaged.

(About the submission accepting section 134)
Returning to FIG. 3, the submission accepting unit 134 accepts submission of content. For example, the submission receiving unit 134 receives submission of coupon data and designation of targeting information. In addition, the submission reception unit 134 stores the received coupon data and targeting information in the content storage unit 123.

(About distribution unit 135)
The distribution unit 135 distributes content to the user. For example, the distribution unit 135 performs user targeting using the targeting information specified by the business operator who has received provision of purchase data by transmitting a request. And the delivery part 135 delivers the coupon submitted by the corresponding provider with respect to user targeting.

  For example, in the first pattern, the store SH1 is provided with purchase data of the stores SH3 to SH5 from the information processing apparatus 100. Therefore, the store SH1 can perform coupon distribution using the purchase data of the stores SH3 to SH5. For example, the store SH1 can grasp the user who is more suitable for the products handled at the store and the sale at the store by referring to the purchase data of the stores SH3 to SH5. For this reason, the store SH1 may specify targeting information to the information processing apparatus 100 so that coupons are distributed preferentially to users who are more suitable for products handled at the store or sales at the store. it can.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 6, it is assumed that the store SH1 sets targeting information such as “users using the stores SH1, SH3, and SH4 during the past month” and submits the coupon CP1. In such a case, the distribution unit 135 refers to the purchase data storage unit 122 and identifies a user that satisfies this targeting information. And the delivery part 135 delivers coupon CP1 with respect to the specified user.

[4. Processing procedure)
Next, the information processing procedure executed by the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8. First, determination processing among information processing executed by the information processing apparatus 100 will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a determination processing procedure performed by the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment. It is assumed that the information processing apparatus 100 constructs a purchase data storage unit 122 as shown in FIG. 5, for example, by receiving purchase data from each business operator in advance.

  First, the receiving unit 131 of the information processing apparatus 100 determines whether or not an acquisition request has been received from a business operator (step S101). If the reception unit 131 has not received the acquisition request (step S101; No), the reception unit 131 waits until the acquisition request is received. On the other hand, when the acquisition request is received by the reception unit 131 (step S101; Yes), the determination unit 132 determines a provider that provides the purchase data to the requested provider. Is performed (step S102).

  Specifically, based on the relationship between the request transmission source operator and another operator different from the request transmission source operator, the determination unit 132 determines whether the request transmission source Determine the provider from which the data available to the provider is provided. For example, the determination unit 132 performs the determination process indicated by the first to third patterns.

  For example, the determination unit 132 is a store located in the same area as the area where the store operated by the request transmission source operator is located, among other stores different from the store operated by the request transmission source operator. Thus, a store that belongs to the same business category as the business category to which the store operated by the request source business operator belongs is specified. Moreover, the determination part 132 is a store which belongs to a company group which has a competitive relationship with a company group to which a store operated by the request transmission source company belongs, among other stores different from the stores operated by the request transmission source company. Is identified.

  And the determination part 132 purchases the thing except the store specified as mentioned above other stores different from the store which the request transmission origin operator manages with respect to the request transmission origin operator. Is determined as a store to be provided. Next, the providing unit 133 provides the purchase data of the store determined by the determining unit 132 to the request source operator (step S103).

  Next, a distribution process for distributing a coupon in the information processing executed by the information processing apparatus 100 will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a distribution processing procedure by the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment.

  First, the submission accepting unit 134 of the information processing apparatus 100 determines whether various information related to content distribution has been accepted (step S201). For example, the submission accepting unit 134 determines whether or not the submission of a coupon from the business operator and the targeting information for designating the distribution target user have been accepted. In the case where various information is not received (step S201; No), the submission receiving unit 134 stands by until it is received. On the other hand, when various information regarding content distribution is received by the submission receiving unit 134 (step S201; Yes), the distribution unit 135 performs user targeting using the targeting information (step S202). And the delivery part 135 delivers the coupon matched with the said targeting information with respect to the user who satisfy | fills targeting information (step S203).

[5. (Modification)
The information processing apparatus 100 according to the above embodiment may be implemented in various different forms other than the above embodiment. Therefore, in the following, another embodiment of the information processing system 100 will be described.

[5-1. About purchasing data provision)
The providing unit 133 of the information processing apparatus 100 may provide purchase data for a predetermined unit when providing purchase data to the requesting business operator. This point will be described with reference to the example of FIG. In the example of FIG. 1, an example is shown in which the stores SH3 and SH4 are determined by the determining unit 132 as the store of the provider that provides the purchase data to the store SH1 of the request transmission source.

  Here, the providing unit 133 provides purchase data for the stores SH3 and SH4 for the last month as purchase data for a predetermined unit. Further, it may be a half year or a year instead of one month.

  Further, the providing unit 133 may provide purchase data according to an instruction from the requesting business operator. In such a case, for example, the business operator transmits a request including designation information for designating what kind of purchase data is desired. For example, it is assumed that the store SH1 transmits a request including designation information for designating the user attribute “female”. Such designation information indicates that the store SH1 is requesting female purchase data.

  In such a case, the providing unit 133 provides the store SH1 with purchase data in which the user identified by the user ID is “female” among the purchase data of the stores SH3 and SH4.

[5-2. (Providing data considering customer base)
In the above embodiment, the determination unit 132 of the information processing apparatus 100 excludes businesses that may be disadvantageous by providing purchase data to the request transmission source business operator, and other business operators are excluded. An example of deciding as a provider as a provider was shown.

  However, the determination unit 132 transmits the request transmission among the other stores based on the relationship between the customer base corresponding to the request transmission source store and the customer base corresponding to another store different from the request transmission source store. You may determine as a shop used as the provision source from which predetermined data is provided with respect to an original shop. The other store different from the request transmission source store indicates a store operated by a business owner different from the business owner that operates the request transmission source store.

  For example, the determination unit 132 provides, from among other stores, a store having a customer segment that is the same as or similar to the customer segment corresponding to the request transmission source store to which the purchase data is provided to the request transmission source store. It will be determined as a store.

  This point will be described using stores SH10, SH11, SH12, and SH13 as examples. Also, the industry category “Japanese restaurant” corresponds to the store SH10, the industry category “super” to the store SH11, the industry category “brand shop” to the store SH12, and the industry category “electric mass retailer” to the store SH13. It shall be attached.

  Here, the customer class of customers who use each of the stores SH10 to SH13 will be examined. Since the store SH10 is a “Japanese restaurant”, it is considered that the store SH10 tends to be easily used by customers (wealthy users) who are generally called wealthy people. Further, since the store SH12 is a “brand shop”, it is considered that the store SH12 tends to be easily used by wealthy users.

  On the other hand, since the store SH11 is a “supermarket”, it is considered that the store SH11 tends to be used by general customers (general users) who are not limited to the wealthy. Further, since the store SH13 is an “electricity retailer”, it is considered that the store SH13 tends to be easily used by general users.

  The determination unit 132 determines a store serving as a providing source to which purchase data is provided for a store as a request transmission source in consideration of the customer segment as described above. For example, it is assumed that the reception unit 131 receives a request from the store SH10. In such a case, the determination unit 132 determines the store SH12, which is the same customer segment (the wealthy segment) as the store SH10, as the provider that provides the purchase data to the store SH10.

  For example, even if the store SH10 considered to be high-end oriented uses the purchase data of the store SH11 or the store SH13 to distribute the coupon to the general user, it is considered that the general user is unlikely to use the coupon. That is, the coupon is unnecessarily distributed.

  On the other hand, when the store SH10 uses purchase data of the store SH12 that is also considered to be high-class, the coupon can be distributed preferentially to the wealthy users. And if it is a wealthy user, there is a high possibility of visiting the store SH12 in order to use the coupon.

  As described above, the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment can preferentially provide purchase data that leads to improvement of profits to a business operator, and usesless coupon distribution that does not lead to improvement of profits. Can be suppressed.

[5-3. Coupon delivery)
In the said embodiment, the delivery part 135 showed the example which distributes a coupon according to a provider's instruction | indication. For example, an example has been shown in which the distribution unit 135 distributes coupons based on targeting information specified by a provider who has received provision of purchase data. However, the distribution unit 135 may dynamically distribute the coupon regardless of the instructions of the business operator.

  For example, the distribution unit 135 dynamically distributes coupons based on predetermined data provided by a business operator. Here, the predetermined data provided from the business operator is, for example, purchase data provided to the company T from a store operated by the business owner. That is, it is purchase data stored in the purchase data storage unit 122 as shown in FIG.

  For example, in the example of FIG. 5, the distribution unit 135 distributes the coupon submitted by the store SH1 to the user U1 who often shop at the store SH1. In addition, the distribution unit 135 belongs to the same business category as the store SH1, so that the stores SH3, SH4, and SH5 other than the stores SH2 and SH6 that are considered to be in a competitive relationship are also used by the user U1. May be delivered to. Such a distribution method is based on processing corresponding to the first pattern. Therefore, the distribution unit 135 can also perform distribution based on the processing corresponding to the second and third patterns.
