In addition, the information management apparatus, the information management system, the information management method, and the information management program according to the present application are not limited by this embodiment. In the following embodiments, the same portions are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

[1. Information management system)
First, an example of an information management system 1 that accepts an exhibition of a part of a right to receive provision of a predetermined service will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of an information management system according to an embodiment. FIG. 1 shows an outline of processing in which the information management apparatus of the information management system 1 manages the right to receive service provision.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the information management system 1 includes a member terminal 10, a user terminal 20, a facility terminal 30, and an information management apparatus 100. Here, it is assumed that the member terminal 10, the user terminal 20, the facility terminal 30, and the information management apparatus 100 can communicate with each other via a predetermined network N such as the Internet. In the following description, the member terminal 10, the user terminal 20, and the facility terminal 30 may be collectively referred to as the terminals 10 to 30, respectively.

  The member terminal 10 is a terminal device used by a member U01 who is a right holder who has the right to receive service. The user terminal 20 is a terminal device used by a user who does not belong to an organization to which the member U01 belongs as a member, that is, a non-member user U02. Here, the member terminal 10 and the user terminal 20 are realized by, for example, a mobile terminal such as a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a desktop PC (Personal Computer), a notebook PC, or the like.

  The facility terminal 30 is an information processing device that manages services provided to members belonging to an organization, and is realized by, for example, a predetermined server device or a cloud network. Further, for example, the facility terminal 30 manages information such as what service is provided to the member U01 and whether the service can be provided to the member U01. The information management apparatus 100 is an apparatus that manages the transfer of the right to receive service provision, and is realized by, for example, a server apparatus or a cloud network.

[1-1. (Right to receive service)
Here, the right to receive the service managed by the information management system 1 will be described. The right to receive service is, for example, the right of a member who pays an admission fee, an annual fee, etc. to an organization that provides a predetermined service. An organization that is a service provider who provides such a service has the right to provide the service and receive the service only for the right holder who has the right to receive the service, that is, the member who has the membership. The service is not provided to users who do not have the service. The right to receive service provision is a precondition for receiving the service and may or may not be paid each time the service is received.

  Examples of services provided to such members include fitness clubs, golf courses, electronic books, music, content distribution services such as moving images, membership shopping malls, and the like. Examples of such services include annual passports such as amusement parks, commuter passes such as trains and buses, coupon tickets that can be used only by predetermined users, parking lots, credit cards, sports performances. Such as annual seats for which services are provided only to rights holders who are registered in advance. In the following description, the fee for acquiring or maintaining the right to receive services such as membership fee, monthly fee, annual fee, etc. may be described as the membership fee. Further, in the following description, the service provider that provides the above-described service may be described as an organization, but the embodiment does not limit the service provider to a so-called organization. For example, the service provider may be an individual or a corporation that provides services to members.

[1-2. Processing performed by information management device]
Here, for services provided to members, membership fees are generated, for example, on a yearly or monthly basis. For this reason, users who want to use the service only once or who are interested in the service but do not know whether they can use the service only for the membership fee cannot be motivated to join as a new member. There is a case.

  In addition, a method of reducing the membership fee is also conceivable so that a non-member user can join as a new member. However, if such a reduction in membership fees is made, there is a risk that earnings will deteriorate. In addition, when the difference between the membership fee of the existing member and the membership fee of the new member becomes large, there is a risk that the existing member will be withdrawn. Furthermore, for existing members who do not use the service very frequently, continuing to pay a certain membership fee can be a motivation for withdrawal.

  In this way, when providing services only to members, in addition to the motivation of non-member users (hereinafter referred to as non-members) as new members, the motivation to withdraw from existing members. May be necessary. However, the conventional technology sometimes provides a motivation to make a non-member a new member, and sometimes cannot withdraw the existing member.

  Therefore, the information management apparatus 100 included in the information processing system 1 executes the following information management process. First, the information management apparatus 100 accepts an exhibition of a part of the right from a member who is a right holder who has the right to receive service provision. Then, when a user different from the right holder purchases a part of the right, the information management apparatus 100 purchases a part of the right from the right holder who has exhibited a part of the right, Transfer some of the listed rights to the buyer.

  Hereinafter, an example of the information management process will be described with reference to FIG. In the following description, an example of processing for receiving an exhibition of a right to receive service during a predetermined date and time among the right to receive service will be described. In the following description, it is assumed that the information management system 1 manages the right to use a fitness club facility as an example of a service.

[1-3. An example of information management processing)
For example, as shown in FIG. 1A, the member U01 is a member who can use a predetermined facility between 10:00 and 23:00. However, the member U01 does not use the facility from 10:00 to 20:00, and uses the facility between 20:00 and 23:00. In such a case, the member U01 often feels that the membership fee between 10:00 and 20:00 is useless.

  Therefore, the member U01 submits a part of the right to use the facility during the time zone not used by the member U01, that is, a part of the right of the member U01, through the member terminal 10 (step S1). For example, the member U01 exhibits the right to use the facility between 14:00 and 16:00. Note that the member U01 can exhibit the right to use the facility for an arbitrary period of time, for example, between 20:00 and 22:00, as long as it is within the scope of the rights that the member U01 has. Here, the member U01 does not have the right to use the facility between 23:00 and 24:00. For this reason, the member U01 cannot exhibit the right to use the facility between 23:00 and 24:00.

  On the other hand, the information management apparatus 100 accepts the purchase of another user for the right exhibited by the member U01. For example, the user U02 selects the right to use the facility for the date and time that matches the date and time when he / she wants to use the facility from among the listed rights, and purchases the selected right ( Step S2). As a result, since the right exhibited by the member U01 is purchased, the information management apparatus 100 transmits a purchase notification to the user U02 who has purchased the right (step S3).

  Subsequently, the user U02 pays a consideration for the purchased right, that is, a fee (step S4). The fee paid by the user U02 may be set by the member U01 himself / herself when the member U01 exhibits a part of the rights, for example, and is determined by the service provider of the information management system 1 A predetermined fee may be used. In addition, when the sale of the right is performed in an auction format, it may be a fee set for the user U02 to make a successful bid for the right, that is, a bid amount or a successful bid amount.

  Here, when the user U02 has paid the fee, the information management apparatus 100 performs a process of transferring the exhibited range of the rights held by the member U01, that is, the transferred right from the member U01 to the user U02. Run. Specifically, the information management apparatus 100 transmits the facility use code to the user terminal 20 used by the user U02 (step S5). Such a usage code is realized by, for example, text information, a QR (Quick Response) code (registered trademark), a barcode, an image, or the like presented when using the facility. Then, the information management apparatus 100 registers in the facility terminal 30 that the use of the member U01 is prohibited and the use of the user U02 is permitted during the date and time set for the purchased right (step S6).

  Further, the information management apparatus 100 pays a reward to the member U01 (step S7), and pays a revenue share to a service provider such as a facility or organization that provides the service (step S8). The revenue share is paid as a consideration for the transaction of a part of the rights of the member U01, the use of the facility by the non-member user U02, the security of credit for the user U02, and the like.

  On the other hand, the user U02 visits the facility between the date and time that can be used according to the purchased right, that is, from 14:00 to 16:00, and presents the use code transmitted in step S5 (step S9). Then, the facility terminal 30 provides the service by regarding the user U02 as a member during the date and time that can be used depending on the purchased right (hereinafter referred to as the date and time of purchase) (step S10). . On the other hand, the facility terminal 30 prohibits the use of the facility by the member U01 during the purchase date and time (step S11).

  In this way, the information management apparatus 100 accepts the listing of the right that the member U01 has to use the facility for a predetermined date and time. Then, when the exhibited right is purchased by the user U02, the information management apparatus 100 grants the right to use the facility from the member U01 to the user U02 from the member U01 to the user U02 from the member U01 to the user U02. To move to. Specifically, the information management apparatus 100 permits the use of the facility by the user U02 and prohibits the use of the facility by the member U01 during the purchase date and time.

  As a result, the information management apparatus 100 can realize the sharing of the rights owned by the member U01 and generate a new member acquisition cycle. For example, in the information management process described above, the service can be used once by non-member users who are interested in the membership service. Also, in general, the purchase price for a part of the rights is cheaper than acquiring the membership. For this reason, the information management apparatus 100 can provide a motivation to join a non-member user to an organization.

  In addition, the information management apparatus 100 realizes a partial exhibition of the rights that the member U01 has. More specifically, the information management apparatus 100 enables the member U01 to buy and sell a period during which the member U01 does not use the facility as a period during which other users can use the facility. For this reason, the information management apparatus 100 can provide a motivation for the member U01 to maintain the membership.

  In addition, the information management apparatus 100 can pay a revenue share to an organization (facility) that provides a service, and allows a non-member user U02 to visit the facility and use the service. For this reason, the organization that provides the service can obtain an opportunity to acquire a new customer without reducing the advertising cost and the membership fee. As a result, the information management apparatus 100 can provide motivation for permitting the organization that provides the membership-based service to buy and sell part of the rights of the members, that is, part of the membership rights.

[1-4. About consideration)
In the above-described example, the information management apparatus 100 paid a consideration to the member U01 who exhibited a part of the right and the organization that provides the service. Here, the consideration paid to the member U01 and the organization is compensated by the fee paid by the user U02 who purchased a part of the right. To explain a specific example, 80% of the fee paid by the user U02 is paid to the member U01, and 10% is paid as a revenue share. Further, the remaining 10% of the fee paid by the user U02 is the income of the operator who operates the service provided by the information management system 1. An arbitrary ratio can be applied to the distribution rate when the fee paid by the user U02 is distributed.

  Moreover, the information management apparatus 100 does not need to pay a reward or revenue share by itself. For example, the information management apparatus 100 calculates the amount of reward and revenue share according to the purchase amount, and instructs a predetermined settlement system (not shown) to execute the settlement processing for the calculated amount. Good. Further, since the information management apparatus 100 can guide a single user who can become a new customer to an organization that provides a service, it is not always necessary to pay a revenue share.

  In the example described above, the user U02 paid a fee when purchasing the right. However, the embodiment is not limited to this. For example, the information management apparatus 100 may charge the user U02 when the user U02 actually uses the facility, that is, when the purchased right is exercised. May be accepted. Further, the information management apparatus 100 pays a reward to the member U01 when the user U02 actually uses the facility, and provides the revenue share to the service provider such as the facility or organization that provides the service. You may make a payment. Further, the information providing apparatus 100 may accept billing or payment of a fee after the user U02 exercises the purchased right.

[1-5. (About purchase restrictions)
In addition, for example, depending on the service provision mode, there are night members who can use the facility only at night and weekday members who can use the facility only on weekdays. May be set. For facilities, it is desirable for such weekday members and night members to acquire all-day member rights when they want to use the facility outside the available time zone. However, when the above-described information management process is executed without limitation, it allows use outside the available time period without allowing weekday members and night members to acquire the rights of all-day members. Further, when the above-described information management process is executed without limitation, depending on the purchase amount and the membership fee, the single use may be more attractive to the user U02 than become a member.

  Therefore, the information management apparatus 100 may perform purchase restrictions on the user U02. For example, when the user U02 has the right to receive a certain service, the information management apparatus 100 may prohibit purchase of a part of the right to receive the same service. For example, the information management apparatus 100 may prohibit the user U02 who is a member of a certain facility from purchasing for the right to use the same facility.

  For example, the information management apparatus 100 may set an upper limit on the number of purchases. Specifically, the information management apparatus 100 prohibits a new purchase for the right to receive the same service when the number of times that the user U02 has purchased the right to receive a certain service exceeds a predetermined number of times. May be. For example, the information management apparatus 100 may prohibit a user U02 who purchased a right to use a certain facility five times or more from purchasing the right to use the same facility.

  Here, the user U02 who has repeatedly purchased for the right to use the same service is considered to be a user who likes the service, that is, a user U02 who can be a new customer. Therefore, the information management apparatus 100 may propose acquisition of the right to receive provision of such service to a user whose number of purchases of the right to receive provision of the same service exceeds a predetermined number.

  For example, if the information management apparatus 100 purchases the right to receive a certain service five times by the user U02, the information management apparatus 100 hides the purchase button for the right to receive the same service and asks “How about joining? Text such as “?” May be displayed, and the user U02 may be guided to a web page (that is, a landing page) that accepts the membership.

[1-6. (About exhibition restrictions)
In addition, when the above-described information management process is executed without limitation, there is a possibility that the member U01 receives more reward than the membership fee. Therefore, the information management apparatus 100 may limit the number of times of listing a part of the rights to the member U01. For example, the information management apparatus 100 may prohibit the listing of the rights by the member U01 when the number of times that the member U01 has exhibited a part of the right to use the facility or the number of times of purchase exceeds 10. Further, the information management apparatus 100 prohibits the member U01 from exhibiting rights when the total amount of remuneration paid to the member U01 or the total amount purchased exceeds a predetermined threshold such as a membership fee. May be.

[1-7. (About purchase proposal)
Further, the information management apparatus 100 may propose to the user U02 to purchase for the exhibited right. Specifically, the information management apparatus 100 manages the attributes of the user U02 such as gender, age, address, and preference, and when a part of the right that matches the attributes is listed, , You may offer to purchase for some of these rights. In addition, the information management apparatus 100 may propose to a user who does not have a schedule at a predetermined date and time to purchase for the right to receive service provision at that date and time.

  In addition, the information management apparatus 100 may propose purchase for a right to receive a service within a predetermined range from the current position of the user, such as a right to use a facility located near the user. Further, the information management apparatus 100 manages the amount of exercise of the user via a wearable device or the like, and if the amount of exercise of the user satisfies a predetermined condition, such as when the amount of exercise falls below a predetermined threshold, a fitness club or the like You may suggest buying for the right to use your training gym.

[2. Facility terminal configuration)
Hereinafter, an example of the functional configuration of the facility terminal 30 and the information management apparatus 100 that realize the above-described information management processing will be described. First, an example of the configuration of the facility terminal 30 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a functional configuration of the facility terminal according to the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the facility terminal 30 includes a communication unit 31, a storage unit 32, a use code reading unit 33, and a control unit 34. The communication unit 31 is realized by a NIC (Network Interface Card) or the like, for example. The communication unit 31 is connected to the network N by wire or wireless, and transmits / receives information to / from the member terminal 10, the user terminal 20, and the information management apparatus 100.

  The storage unit 22 is realized by, for example, a semiconductor memory element such as a RAM (Random Access Memory) or a flash memory, or a storage device such as a hard disk or an optical disk. The storage unit 22 stores a member database 35. In the member database 35, various pieces of information of members who have the right to receive services are registered.

  For example, FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of information registered in the member database according to the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 3, in the member database 35, a member ID (Identification), a member name, a member type, a usable period, a use suspension period, a use code, and the like are registered in association with each other. In the member database 35, various other information related to members such as service usage history are also registered.

  Here, the member ID is information for identifying each member. The member name is a nomination of each member. The member type is a type of rights that each member has. For example, a member type “all day member” is a member who has the right to receive service on all dates, and a member type “night member” is a member who has the right to receive service only during the night. is there. The member type “single member” indicates the user U02 who purchased the right to receive the service for a certain period of time.

  The available period is a period during which each member can receive the service. Moreover, the use suspension period is a period during which the service cannot be provided during the available period due to the transfer of a part of the right. Here, “*” shown in FIG. 3 indicates that all values are applicable, and “null” indicates that no value is registered. Further, this is the same information as the usage code notified from the information management apparatus 100 to the user U02 who purchased a part of the right.

  For example, in the example illustrated in FIG. 3, the member database 35 has a member name “user A”, a member type “all day member”, and a usable period for the member indicated by the member ID “U01”. “10:00 to 23:00”, indicating that the usage suspension period is “2015/10/22/14: 00 to 16:00”. Further, in the member database 35, the member type indicated by the member name “user B” is “single member”, and the usable period is “2015/10/22/14: 0 to 16:00”. , Indicates that the usage code is “C01”. That is, the member indicated by the member name “User B” has purchased the right to receive the service for “2015/10/22/14: 0 to 16:00” from the member U01 indicated by the member ID “U01”. User U02.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the description will be continued. The usage code reading unit 33 reads the usage code transmitted from the information management apparatus 100 to the user terminal 20. The use code reading unit 33 has a function of receiving a member ID from the member terminal 10 used by the member. For example, the use code reading unit 33 is realized by a reading device that can read a barcode, a QR code (registered trademark), or the like. The use code reading unit 33 may read the use code stored in the user terminal 20 by using a short-range wireless communication technology such as NFC (Near Field Radio Communication).

  The control unit 34 is stored in a storage device inside the facility terminal 30 by, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), an MPU (Micro Processing Unit), an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), or the like. Various programs are executed by using the RAM as a work area.

  As illustrated in FIG. 2, the control unit 34 includes a notification acquisition unit 36, a member information update unit 37, and a service provision determination unit 38. The notification acquisition unit 36 acquires from the information management apparatus 100 a right transfer notification indicating the transfer contents of a part of the right. In such a case, the member information update unit 37 updates the information registered in the member database 35 in accordance with the right transfer notification received from the information management apparatus 100.

  Here, in the right transfer notification, a transfer source of a part of the right, that is, a member U01 who exhibited a part of the right, and a transfer destination of a part of the right, that is, a user U02 who purchased a part of the right. It is assumed that information indicating that is included. The right transfer notice includes a part of the right to be transferred, that is, information indicating the date and time when the service can be provided, a use code notified to the user U02 who purchased the part of the right, and Is included.

  For example, the notification acquisition unit 36 has the member ID “U01” of the member U01 as the transfer source of the right, the name “user B” of the user U02 as the transfer destination of the right, and the date and time “ 2015/10/22/14: 00 to 16:00 "and a right transfer notification including the usage code" C01 ". In such a case, the member information update unit 37 sets “2015/10/22/14: 0 to 16:00” during the use prohibition period associated with the member ID “U01” or the member name “user A”. sign up. Further, the member information updating unit 37 sets the member name “user B”, the member type “single member”, the usable period “2015/10/22/14: 00 to 16:00”, and the usage code “C01”. Are registered in the member database 35 in association with each other.

  The service provision determination unit 38 determines whether to provide a service to the member U01 or the user U02. For example, when the service provision determination unit 38 receives the member ID from the use code reading unit 33, the service provision determination unit 38 determines whether or not the date and time when the member ID is received is included in the use suspension period associated with the received member ID. To do.

  In addition, when the date and time when the member ID is received is not included in the use suspension period, the service provision determination unit 38 determines whether or not the date and time when the member ID is received is included in the available period. And the service provision determination part 38 permits provision of the service with respect to the member who input member ID, when the date and time when member ID was received is contained in the availability period. On the other hand, when the date and time when the member ID is received is included in the use suspension period or not included in the usable period, the service provision determination unit 38 provides the service to the member who has input the member ID. Is not allowed.

  In addition, when receiving the usage code from the usage code reading unit 33, the service provision determination unit 38 specifies an available period associated with the received usage code. If the date and time when the use code is received is included in the specified usable period, the service provision determination unit 38 permits the service provision to the user U02 who has input the use code and does not include the service code. Does not permit the provision of services.

[3. Facility terminal configuration)
Next, an example of the configuration of the information management apparatus 100 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

The communication unit 101 is realized by, for example, a NIC or the like, and transmits / receives information to / from the member terminal 10, the user terminal 20, and the facility terminal 30 via the network N and wired or wireless.

  The storage unit 102 is realized by, for example, a semiconductor memory element such as a RAM or a flash memory, or a storage device such as a hard disk or an optical disk. The storage unit 102 includes a user database 104, an exhibition database 105, and a facility information database 106.

  In the user database 104, information of a user who receives a service provided by the information management system 1 is registered. Here, the users whose information is managed by the user database 104 include not only the user U02 who purchases the exhibited right but also the member U01 who exhibits a part of the right.

  For example, FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of information registered in the user database according to the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, in the user database 104, a user ID (Identification), a user name, a belonging organization, a membership type, a usable period, a use suspension period, an exhibition history, attributes, and the like are registered in association with each other. ing. The user ID is an identifier given to each user. The user name is the name of each user.

  The affiliated organization is information indicating an organization that provides services to the user, that is, an organization in which the user is a member. Further, the member type, the usable period, and the use suspension period are the same information as the member type, the usable period, and the use suspension period registered in the member database 25. Further, the exhibition history is a history of the rights that the user has submitted, and is information indicating, for example, the date and time that the facility has been used so far and the facility can be used. The attributes are various pieces of information indicating user attributes such as the user's gender, age, address, user schedule, user position, and amount of exercise measured from the user.

  For example, in the example illustrated in FIG. 5, the user database 104 includes a user ID “U01”, a user name “user A”, a belonging organization “organization A”, a member type “all day member”, and an available period “ * / * / * / 10: 00 to 23:00 ", exhibition history" 2015/10/22/14: 00 to 16:00 ", and attribute information" attribute A "are registered. . Such information indicates, for example, that the name of the user indicated by the user ID “U01” is “user A” and that the attribute is “attribute A”. In addition, this information is obtained by joining “Organization A” as an “all-day member” that allows the user indicated by the user ID “U01” to receive the service for “10:00 to 23:00”. Indicates that

  This information also indicates that the user indicated by the user ID “U01” has exhibited the right to receive services from “Organization A” during “2015/10/22/14: 0 to 16:00”. Show. In addition, this information includes a period during which the right indicated is purchased and the user indicated by the user ID “U01” has exhibited, that is, “2015/10/22/14: 00 to 16:00”. , It indicates that the user does not have the right to receive service from “Organization A”. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the attributes of each user are indicated by conceptual values such as “attribute A”, “attribute B”, and “attribute C”. It is assumed that arbitrary information is stored.

  Returning to FIG. 4, the exhibition database 105 registers information relating to the submitted rights. For example, FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of information registered in the exhibition database according to the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6, in the exhibition database 105, as the information regarding the rights placed, an exhibition ID, an exhibition period, a use organization, an exhibitor ID, a purchaser ID, a price, a usage code, and the like are registered in association with each other. .

  Here, the exhibition ID is an identifier for identifying the exhibited right. The exhibition period is information indicating the date and time when the exhibited right can be exercised, that is, the period during which the service can be received. The use organization is information indicating an organization that provides a service. The exhibitor ID is information indicating an exhibitor who has exhibited a part of the rights, and is, for example, a user ID or a member ID of the exhibitor. The purchaser ID is information indicating a user who has purchased the listed right, and is the purchaser's user ID. The price is the amount of consideration for the right, that is, the purchase amount. The usage code is a usage code sent to the user indicated by the purchaser ID.

  For example, in the example illustrated in FIG. 6, the exhibition database 105 includes an exhibition ID “ID01”, an exhibition period “2015/10/22/14: 00 to 16:00”, a use organization “organization A”, and an exhibitor ID “ Information in which U01, purchaser ID “U02”, price “2000”, and usage code “C01” are associated is registered. Such information includes the user (ie, the seller ID “U01”) who has the right to receive services from “organization A” during the exhibition period “2015/10/22/14: 0 to 16:00”. , “User A” shown in FIG. Further, this information indicates that the user indicated by the purchaser ID “U02” (that is, “User B” shown in FIG. 5) has purchased the right at a price of “2000” yen, and the purchaser ID “U02”. The usage code “C01” is distributed to the user indicated by.

  Returning to FIG. 4, the description will be continued. The facility information database 106 is a database in which information on terminal devices used by facilities and organizations that provide various services, that is, information on the facility terminal 30 is registered. For example, the address of each facility terminal 30 is registered in the facility information database 106.

  The control unit 103 is realized by, for example, a CPU, MPU, ASIC, FPGA, or the like executing various programs stored in a storage device inside the information management apparatus 100 using the RAM as a work area.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the control unit 103 includes an exhibition reception unit 107, a purchase reception unit 108, a right transfer unit 109, a reward calculation unit 110, and a proposal unit 111. The exhibition reception unit 107 receives an exhibition of a part of the rights held by the member U01 from the right holder having the right to receive the service, that is, the member U01. For example, the exhibition reception unit 107 receives from the member U01 the designation of the date and time that the member U01 intends to exhibit and the sales price. In such a case, the exhibition receiving unit 107 specifies various types of information associated with the user ID indicating the member U01 from the user database 104.

  And the exhibition reception part 107 determines whether exhibition of the designated date is possible among the rights which the member U01 has based on the specified information. For example, the exhibition accepting unit 107 determines whether the membership of the member U01 is valid or whether the date and time to be listed is within the usable period of the member U01 and is not included in the use suspension period. judge. The exhibition reception unit 107 has the membership right of the member U01 valid, the date and time to be listed is within the usable period of the member U01, and the date and time to be listed is not included in the suspension period. In this case, it is determined that the exhibition at the designated date and time is possible.

  In addition, when the exhibition reception unit 107 determines that the exhibition on the designated date and time is possible, the exhibition reception unit 107 registers the designated date and time in the exhibition database 105. For example, the exhibition reception unit 107 sells the right to receive the service of “Organization A” while the member U01 indicated by the user ID “U01” is “2015/10/22/14: 00: 00 to 16:00”. In the case of listing with “2000” yen, the usage organization “organization A”, the exhibition period “2015/10/22/14: 00 to 16:00”, the exhibitor ID “U01”, the price “2000” Are registered in the exhibition database 105 in association with each other.

  Here, when the number of times that the member U01 has exhibited a part of the right or the total price of the part of the right that the member U01 has sent exceeds a predetermined threshold, the exhibition receiving unit 107 starts from the member U01. Restrict listings. For example, when receiving the designation of the date and time from the member U01, the exhibition receiving unit 107 specifies the exhibition history associated with the user ID of the member U01 from the user database 104. In addition, the exhibition reception unit 107 calculates the number of times that the member U01 has exhibited a part of the right and the total amount of purchase using the specified exhibition history.

  Then, when the calculated number of times exceeds a predetermined threshold, or when the total amount of purchase exceeds the predetermined threshold, the exhibition receiving unit 107 cannot accept the exhibition to the member U01. To be notified. On the other hand, if the calculated number of times is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold and the total amount of purchase is less than or equal to the predetermined threshold, the exhibition acceptance unit 107 accepts the exhibition and sets the date and time when the member U01 is designated as the exhibitor. Register in the exhibition database 105.

  The purchase reception unit 108 receives a purchase from the user for the displayed right. For example, when the purchase acceptance unit 108 accepts an acquisition request for information on the rights exhibited by the user U02, the purchase acceptance unit 108 refers to the exhibition database 105 and identifies the rights that have not been purchased by the user U02 among the exhibited rights. To do. For example, the purchase acceptance unit 108 specifies a right for which no purchaser ID is registered.

  In addition, the following processing is executed to limit purchases by users who have the right to receive the same service or users whose rights have been purchased more than a predetermined threshold. For example, the purchase accepting unit 108 specifies the belonging organization, the member type, and the usable period associated with the user ID of the user U02. That is, the purchase acceptance unit 108 specifies the content of the service that the user U02 has the right to receive. Then, the purchase acceptance unit 108 extracts the right that the user U02 can receive from the rights specified from the exhibition database 105, and sets the extracted right as the right that the user U02 cannot purchase.

  For example, the purchase reception unit 108 may set the right to receive service provision from the organization to which the user U02 belongs as a right that the user U02 cannot purchase. That is, when the user U02 is a member of the same organization as the member U01, the purchase accepting unit 108 may restrict the purchase from the user U02 for the right to receive service provision from the organization. In addition, the purchase receiving unit 108 can receive service during a time period included in the time period in which the user U02 receives service, among the right to receive service from the organization to which the user U02 belongs. May be a right that the user U02 cannot purchase.

  Further, the purchase acceptance unit 108 counts the number of times that the user U02 has purchased the right from the exhibition database 105. More specifically, the purchase acceptance unit 108 counts the number of times that the user U02 has purchased the right to receive service provision for each organization. Then, when there is an organization whose counted number is greater than a predetermined threshold, the purchase receiving unit 108 sets the right to receive service from the organization as a right that cannot be purchased by the user U02.

  Subsequently, the purchase reception unit 108 specifies a right that has not been purchased among the displayed rights and can be purchased by the user U02. And the purchase reception part 108 produces | generates the web page for accepting purchase with respect to the specified right, and transmits the produced | generated web page to the user terminal 20 of the user U02. When the purchase acceptance unit 108 accepts a purchase from the user U02 via the transmitted web page, the purchase acceptance unit 108 outputs the purchased right, the user ID of the purchased user U02, and the like to the right transfer unit 109. To do.

  The purchase acceptance unit 108 may propose acquisition of the right to the user U02 who has purchased the right repeatedly. For example, the purchase acceptance unit 108 refers to the exhibition database 105 and counts the number of times that the user U02 has purchased the right to receive the service for each service. When the counted number exceeds the predetermined threshold, the information management apparatus 100 restricts the purchase of the right for the user U02 to receive the service and the member U02 to receive the service. You may suggest that

  When the displayed right is purchased, the right transfer unit 109 transfers the purchased right from the member U01 who has displayed the right to the user U02 who has purchased the right. Specifically, the right transfer unit 109 stops providing the service to the member U01 for the specified date and time, and permits the service U to the user U02 who purchased the right.

  For example, the right transfer unit 109 refers to the exhibition database 105 and registers the user ID of the user U02 who purchased the right as the purchaser ID in association with the purchased right. Further, the right transfer unit 109 generates a use code for the user U02 to receive the provision of the service, and registers the generated use code in association with the purchased right. In addition, the right transfer unit 109 identifies information on the member U01 who has exhibited the purchased right from the user database 104, and registers the exhibition period of the purchased right as a use suspension period of the member U01. In addition, the right transfer unit 109 registers an exhibition period, a use organization, and the like of the purchased right in the user database 104 as an exhibition history.

  Subsequently, the right transfer unit 109 specifies the use organization of the purchased right from the exhibition database 105 and specifies the facility terminal 30 of the specified use organization from the facility information database 106. The right transfer unit 109 includes an exhibition period of the purchased right, a use code, a member ID and a member name of the member U01 who is the exhibitor, a user name of the user U02 who is the purchaser who purchased the right, and the like. A right transfer notification is generated, and the generated right transfer notification is transmitted to the specified facility terminal 30.

  Furthermore, the right transfer unit 109 transmits the usage code of the purchased right to the user terminal 20 used by the user U02 who is the purchaser. As a result, the facility terminal 30 prohibits the use of the facility by the member U01 who is the exhibitor during the exhibition period of the purchased right based on the received right transfer notice and the facility by the user U02 who is the purchaser. Allow the use of. As a result, the right transfer unit 109 can transfer the right from the exhibitor to the purchaser.

  When a part of the right is purchased, the reward calculation unit 110 calculates a reward corresponding to the member U01 who exhibited the part of the right and the organization that provides the service to the member U01. For example, when a part of the rights is purchased, the reward calculation unit 110, the member U01 as an exhibitor, an organization that provides services, an information management system, and a purchase amount at a predetermined ratio It distributes to the manager who manages the service that 1 provides. Then, the reward calculation unit 110 confirms the settlement by notifying the distribution result to a settlement system or the like (not shown).

  The proposing unit 111 proposes acquisition of a right to receive service provision to an arbitrary user U02. More specifically, the suggestion unit 111 identifies the attribute of the user U02 from the user database 104. And the proposal part 111 specifies the right of the conditions corresponding to the attribute of the specified user U02 among the rights under exhibition, and proposes the purchase with respect to the specified right to the user U02.

  For example, the suggestion unit 111 reads the schedule of the user U02 and specifies a time zone in which no schedule is included in the read schedule. Then, the proposal unit 111 extracts the right to receive the service during the specified time period from the right being exhibited, and causes the user terminal 20 to display a message indicating that the extracted right is being exhibited.

  In another example, the suggestion unit 111 identifies the current location of the user, and identifies the right to receive service provision within a predetermined range from the current location of the user among the rights being exhibited. For example, the suggestion unit 111 extracts a right to use a training gym existing within a predetermined range from the current position of the user, and displays a message on the user terminal 20 indicating that the extracted right is exhibited. Let

  In another example, the suggestion unit 111 specifies the amount of exercise measured by the user, and if the specified amount of exercise is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold value, and the like, Extract the right to use the gym. And the proposal part 111 displays the message which shows that the extracted right is exhibited on the user terminal 20. FIG.

  Moreover, the proposal part 111 may propose the right which satisfy | fills several conditions according to the attribute of the user U02. For example, FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of the proposal process executed by the information management apparatus according to the embodiment. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 7, the user terminal 20 used by the user U02 measures an amount of exercise such as an application for managing the user's schedule, the number of steps of the user and the walking distance (walking distance), An application that provides health information to the user is installed.

  The user terminal 20 that executes such an application uses a user U02 schedule, a user U02 exercise amount, and a user acquired using a positioning system such as GPS (Global Positioning System) at a predetermined timing. The current position of U02 is transmitted to the information management apparatus 100 (step S11). In such a case, the information management apparatus 100 registers the received schedule, exercise amount, and current position in the user database 104 as information indicating user attributes.

  Further, the information management apparatus 100 determines whether or not the received amount of exercise satisfies a predetermined condition (step S12), and if satisfied, specifies a facility located within a predetermined range from the current position of the user. (Step S13). Further, the information management apparatus 100 searches the right to use in the free time specified from the schedule of the user U02 out of the right to use the specified facility from the right being exhibited (step S14). And the information management apparatus 100 transmits the information which shows the right which satisfy | fills conditions to the user terminal 20 as a result of search.

  In such a case, the user terminal 20 displays a message such as “There are recommended fitness clubs in the vicinity” on the screen, and proposes the purchase of rights to the user U02 (step S16). For example, when the user U02 taps a button on which a text such as “View details” is displayed, the user terminal 20 has a right corresponding to the attribute of the user among the displayed rights. Displayed (step S17). More specifically, the user terminal 20 is a right to use a facility existing within a predetermined range from the current position of the user among the rights being exhibited, and is a free space specified from the user's schedule. Display the right to use on time.

[4. Procedure of processing executed by information management device]
Next, the flow of processing executed by the information management apparatus 100 will be described with reference to FIGS. First, an example of a process in which the information management apparatus 100 accepts a part of a right exhibition will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of processing in which the information management apparatus according to the embodiment accepts a part of the exhibition of rights.

  For example, the information management apparatus 100 determines whether a distribution request has been received from the member terminal 10 (step S101). If the information management apparatus 100 receives a distribution request (step S101: Yes), the information management apparatus 100 transmits a right registration form (step S102). Subsequently, the information management apparatus 100 determines whether or not a part of the right of the member U01 is accepted through the right registration form (step S103), and if accepted (step S103: Yes), A part of the exhibited rights is registered in the exhibition database 105 (step S104), and the process ends.

  On the other hand, if the information management apparatus 100 does not receive the distribution request (step S101: No) or does not accept a partial exhibition of the right (step S103: No), the information management apparatus 100 ends the process.

  Next, an example of a process in which the information management apparatus 100 accepts purchase for the exhibited right and transfers the right when the information is purchased will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining a flow of processing in which the information management apparatus according to the embodiment accepts purchase of a right. As illustrated in FIG. 9, the information management apparatus 100 determines whether or not a request for acquiring right information has been received from the user terminal 20 (step S201), and if an acquisition request has been received (step S201: Yes). ), And the notified right is notified (step S202).

  Then, the information management apparatus 100 determines whether or not the exhibited right has been purchased (step S203), and if purchased (step S203: Yes), the right has been exhibited during the date and time of the purchased right. The exercise of rights by the member U01 is prohibited (step S204). The information management apparatus 100 permits the purchaser who has purchased the right to exercise the right during the date and time of the purchased right (step S205), and ends the process.

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

[5-1. (About purchase amount)
The information management apparatus 100 may accept from the member U01 the price for purchasing the right, that is, the designation of the purchase amount. Further, the information management apparatus 100 may sell rights in an auction format. For example, the information management apparatus 100 may accept designation of a bid price or a successful bid price from the user U02. In addition, the information management apparatus 100 may change the bid price or the purchase amount according to the number of the part of the right to receive provision of the same service. For example, the information management apparatus 100 may reduce the purchase amount of the right as the number of exhibited right to use the same facility increases at the same date and time. Further, the information management apparatus 100 may increase the purchase amount of the right as the number of the right to use the same facility is reduced at the same date and time.

  Further, the information management apparatus 100 may change the price of a part of the right according to the cost for acquiring or holding the right to receive the service, that is, the amount of the membership fee or the monthly fee. For example, when a part of the right to receive a certain service is listed, the information management apparatus 100 calculates an amount necessary for acquiring the right to receive such a service, and a predetermined percentage of the calculated amount is calculated. The purchase price of the displayed right may be used.

[5-2. (About purchase timing)
In the above description, the information management apparatus 100 accepts purchase for a part of the exhibited right. Here, the information management apparatus 100 may employ a reverse bidding method. That is, the information management apparatus 100 accepts purchase conditions for the right desired by the user U02 from the user U02. Then, the information management apparatus 100 may receive a part of the right that matches the accepted purchase condition, and may transfer a part of the right when the right management has received the right.

  For example, FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of processing in which the information management system according to the embodiment accepts purchase conditions. In FIG. 10, the information management system 1 describes the process of accepting purchase conditions divided into steps S21 to S31. Here, steps S24 to S32 are the same as steps S3 to S11 shown in FIG.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 10A, the user U02 has no plan between 10:00 and 20:00, so he wants to use the facility between 14:00 and 16:00. ing. In such a case, the user U02 gives the information providing apparatus 100 purchase conditions indicating the conditions of the rights desired by the user U02, such as the facility that the user U02 wants to use and the date and time “14:00 to 16:00” that the user wants to use the facility. Register (step S21). The purchase conditions may include the conditions of the facility to be used, the date and time at which the facility is to be used, the purchase price of the right, the range of the purchase price, and other arbitrary conditions desired by the user U02.

  Then, the information management apparatus 100 notifies the purchase conditions registered by the user U02 to the member U01 who has the right to use the facility indicated by the purchase conditions (step S22). More specifically, the information management apparatus 100 notifies the date and time “14:00 to 16:00” that the user U02 wants to use the facility, the facility that the user U02 wants to use, and the like. Then, as shown in FIG. 10B, the member U01 does not plan to use the facility at the date and time “14:00 to 16:00”. Therefore, the member U01 submits the right on the date and time that matches the purchase conditions (step S23). When a part of the right that matches the purchase condition is exhibited, the information providing apparatus 100 converts a part of the exhibited right from the right holder U01 to the user U02 as shown in steps S24 to S32. To repay and execute processing such as payment of remuneration.

[5-3. (About fees)
In the above description, the information management apparatus 100 gives the purchase amount paid by the user U02 who purchased the right to the member U01, the organization that provides the service, and the administrator of the service that the information management apparatus 100 provides. Distributed. However, the embodiment is not limited to this.

  For example, if the number of times that the user U02 has purchased the right to receive the same service is greater than a predetermined number of times, the information management apparatus 100 has the right to receive the service provided to the user U02. Proposed acquisition of. That is, the information management apparatus 100 proposed member registration to the user U02. Here, as a result of proposing member registration to the user U02, the information management apparatus 100 may charge the organization that provides the service when the user U02 registers as a member and becomes a new member. .

  In other words, the information management apparatus 100 performs not only the transfer of rights by the above-described information management process, but also performs various processes associated with the information management process, such as proposals regarding the listing and purchase of rights, new member registration, and the like. Arbitrary fees can be collected from the right holder U01 who has sent the user, the user U02 who purchased the right, and the organization providing the service.

[5-4. About the proposal)
In addition, when the information management apparatus 100 proposes member registration to the user U02, the information management apparatus 100 can propose member registration in an arbitrary manner. For example, when the information management apparatus 100 receives an acquisition request from the user terminal 20, for example, the information management apparatus 100 generates a web page in which a list of listed rights and a button for purchasing each right are arranged. In addition, the information management apparatus 100 extracts the right to receive the same service as the right that the number of purchases by the user U02 exceeds a predetermined number among the rights included in the list. Then, the information management apparatus 100 may change the button for purchasing the selected right to a button for registering a member.

  Further, the information management apparatus 100 may propose a change of the member type to the member U01 according to the right that the member U01 has submitted. For example, the information management apparatus 100, when the member U01 whose membership type is “all day member” has exhibited the right to receive service provision during the day more than a predetermined number of times, “How about changing to a night member? Or the like. Further, for example, the information management apparatus 100 has a membership type of the user U02 of “night member”, but if the user has purchased a predetermined number of times for the right to receive service during the day, You may make a suggestion such as "How about change?"

  In addition, the information management apparatus 100 may propose the exhibition of rights to the member U01 when the date and time indicated by the purchase condition registered by the user U02, that is, the date and time desired by the user U02 is registered. Good. For example, when the user U02 registers the purchase condition for receiving the service provision at a predetermined date and time, the information management apparatus 100 stores the member U01 who can receive the service at the date and time indicated by the purchase condition in the user database 104. Search from. Then, the information management apparatus 100 makes a suggestion such as “Would you like to exhibit if not used?” To the member who can receive the service at the date and time indicated by the purchase conditions registered by the user U02. Also good. In addition, when there are facilities and dates and times when purchase conditions are registered by many users U02, the information management apparatus 100 identifies the members U01 that can be used at the facilities and dates and displays “exhibits” for the identified members U01. You may make a suggestion such as "Would you like to do it?"

[5-5. (Processing using facility status)
Here, the information management apparatus 100 can execute processing using various types of information managed by the facility terminal 30. For example, the information management apparatus 100 acquires the number of users using the facility from the facility terminal 30, acquires the current congestion level from the facility terminal 30, and proposes or purchases according to the acquired congestion level. Changes may be made. In addition, the information management apparatus 100 notifies the user U02 of the degree of congestion of the facility providing the service together with the exhibited right, so that the user U02 can see the degree of congestion of the facility and use the facility. You can make it available for purchase. For example, the information management apparatus 100 generates a congestion condition model from the facility terminal 30 based on the transition of the number of users using the facility. Then, the information management apparatus 100 may change the purchase price of the exhibited right based on the generated congestion condition model. In addition, when the information management apparatus 100 proposes the purchase of the right according to the attribute of the user U02, the information management apparatus 100 presents the degree of congestion in each time slot according to the generated congestion model. May be.

[5-6. (Part of the rights)
In the above-described example, the information management apparatus 100 exhibits or transfers the right to use the facility at a predetermined date and time. However, the embodiment is not limited to this. For example, the information management apparatus 100 may accept the listing of the right to use the facility every Wednesday, the listing of the right to use the facility on even days, and transfer the right when purchased.

  Further, the information management apparatus 100 may limit the range that can be sent out of the rights that the member U01 has to the range that is recognized by the organization that provides the service. For example, if the organization does not permit the transfer of the right to use the facility on a holiday, the information management apparatus 100 may permit only the listing of the right to use the facility on weekdays among the rights of the member U01.

  Further, the information management apparatus 100 may accept and transfer not only the right to use the facility at a predetermined date and time but also other rights. For example, when a predetermined number of vouchers for receiving services are distributed to the member U01, the information management apparatus 100 accepts the listing and purchase of such vouchers. Then, the information management device 100 causes the purchased voucher to be sent from the exhibitor to the purchaser, and controls the management device that manages the information of the member U01 such as the facility terminal 30 so that the purchased voucher is the exhibitor. To be used by the buyer and allowed to be used by the purchaser.

  Here, the voucher issued to the member U01 cannot be normally used by the user U02 who is not the member U01. However, the information management apparatus 100 transfers, from the member U01 to the user U02, the right to receive a service using the displayed voucher, that is, a part of the right of the member U01, by the information management process described above. For this reason, the information management apparatus 100 can enable a non-member user U02 to use a membership facility.

  Further, the information management apparatus 100 may purchase a right to use a content distribution service, a membership shopping mall, an amusement park, a commuter pass, a credit card, a parking lot, or the like at a predetermined date and time or transfer the right. That is, the information management apparatus 100 can apply the above-described information management process for an arbitrary right if the purchase or transfer of the right is performed for a part of the right to receive a service provided only to the member. it can.

[5-7. Others]
In addition, among the processes described in the above embodiment, all or part of the processes described as being automatically performed can be performed manually, or the processes described as being performed manually can be performed. All or a part can be automatically performed by a known method.
