In the example of FIG. 5A, the split name information storage unit 3151 stores an event name, an event date and time, a user ID of a secretary user, a user ID of each user to be split, and a price in association with the split split ID. In addition, the stay time, the split amount, and the settlement state are stored in association with the user ID of each user to be split.

  The split bill ID is identification information (ID) of the settlement to be split. The split bill ID may be generated by the server 110. The event name and the event date and time are respectively the name and the date and time of the event for which the settlement based on the split bill is performed. The event name and the event date and time may be set by the user A, for example, in the process of step S2. The user ID of the secretary user is a user ID of a user who performs the settlement in a lump. The price is the price paid to the store or the like by the settlement. The stay time is a time during which each user to be split is participating in the event. The split bill is an amount charged by the split bill to each user to be split. The payment status is information indicating the status of payment for each user to be split.

  The control unit 313 of the server 110 may store the split ID, the event name, the event date and time, the user ID of the secretary user, and the user ID of each user to be split, in the process of step S4. Further, the transmitting / receiving unit 312 of the server 110 may return the generated information of the split bill ID to the terminal 120A.

  Subsequently, the transmission / reception unit 312 of the server 110 transmits a notification indicating that the user A has been designated as a user to be split to each of the designated users' terminals 120B, 120C, 120D, and 120E ( Steps S5-1 to S4).

  Subsequently, the display control units 324 of the terminals 120B, 120C, 120D, and 120E (hereinafter, referred to as “terminal B etc.”) respectively display the received notifications (steps S6-1 to S4). . Here, the display control unit 324 of the terminal 120B or the like, in the example of FIG. 6B, displays the name of the user A and the information of the “New Year party A” that is the event name specified for the user A on the split target approval screen 611.

  Subsequently, the receiving unit 321 of the terminal 120B or the like receives, from the user B or the like, an operation for approving the designation as the target of the split bill (Steps S7-1 to S4). Here, the receiving unit 321 of the terminal 120B or the like receives a pressing operation of the “approval” button 615 in FIG. 6B.

  Subsequently, the transmission / reception unit 322 of the terminal 120B or the like returns an approval response to the server 110 (Steps S8-1 to S8-4). Here, the control unit 313 of the server 110 may update the settlement status of each user to “unpaid” in the split bill information stored in the split bill storage unit 3151 of FIG. 5A. Note that, when the operation of pressing the “deny” button 614 in FIG. 6B is received, the transmission / reception unit 322 of the terminal 120 returns a non-approval response to the server 110. In this case, the control unit 313 of the server 110 may update the settlement status of the user of the terminal 120 to “denied” in the split bill information stored in the split bill storage unit 3151 of FIG. 5A.

  Subsequently, the receiving unit 321 of the terminal 120A receives, from the user A, an operation to split the bill by each of the specified users (step S9). The process in step S9 may be executed before the user A collectively pays for the price at a store or the like. In this case, the reception unit 321 of the terminal 120A may receive, for example, the input of the price information from the user A.

  The process of step S9 may be executed, for example, after the user A collectively pays the price at a store or the like using the settlement service provided by the server 110. In this case, for example, the control unit 323 of the terminal 120A may be configured to be able to specify a payment to be split from the payment history. 6C, the display control unit 324 of the terminal 120A displays the payment information 622 and the payment information 623 on the payment history screen 621. The settlement information 622 includes a settlement date and time 622A, the name of the shop or business that settled 622B, and the settlement amount 623C. When the display area of the payment information 622 is pressed, the display control unit 324 of the terminal 120A includes the payment information 622 and each user of the split target specified in the process of step S2 on the event selection screen 631 of FIG. 6D. Event information 633 is displayed. The event information 633 includes the ID or display name 633A and the event name 633B of each user to be split specified in the process of step S2. When the display area of the event information 633 is pressed, the terminal 120A may execute the following processing. Alternatively, when the display area of the event information 633 is pressed, the display control unit 324 of the terminal 120A displays a display screen for confirming and correcting the staying time of each user. May be performed. This allows the user A to confirm and correct when the stay time of the user of the terminal 120 is inaccurate due to a battery exhaustion of the terminal 120 or the like.

  Subsequently, the transmission / reception unit 322 of the terminal 120A transmits a request to split the bill for each specified user to the server 110 (Step S10). This request may include information on the split ID and the price.

  Subsequently, the control unit 313 of the server 110 calculates a split bill (burden, share, bill) for each user based on the stay time of each user (step S11). This processing will be described later.

  Subsequently, the transmission / reception unit 312 of the server 110 transmits the payment request for the split amount calculated for each user to the terminal 120B and the like (steps S12-1 to S12-4). Here, the transmitting / receiving unit 312 of the server 110 may transmit the information stored in the split bill information storage unit 3151 in FIG. 5A in association with the split bill ID in the payment request.

  Subsequently, the display control unit 324 of the terminal 120B or the like displays the received payment request (steps S13-1 to S13-4). Here, in the example of FIG. 6E, the display control unit 324 of the terminal 120B displays the event name 642 and the price 643 on the split bill information display screen 641. Also, in areas 644 to 648 where information of each user to be split is displayed, corresponding to user IDs 644A to 648A, respectively, split amounts 645B to 648B of each user, staying time 645C to 648C of each user, The payment states 645D to 648D are displayed. In the example of FIG. 5A, since the settlement state of the user B is “unpaid”, the settlement state is displayed as “pay”, and the “pay” button 645E is displayed. Note that, in the examples of FIGS. 5A and 6E, the display control unit 324 of the terminal 120B has already performed the following steps S14-1 to S17 for the user C. The payment status is displayed as "Paid".

  Further, the display control unit 324 of the terminal 120B causes the information of the user whose payment status is “unpaid” and “unapproved” to be displayed in a display mode different from the information of the user whose payment status is “paid”. You may. In the example of FIG. 6E, the display control unit 324 of the terminal 120B displays an area 645 for displaying information of the user B whose settlement status is “unpaid” and an area 647 for displaying information of the user D in red or the like. Let me. In addition, an area 648 for displaying information of the user E whose settlement status is “unapproved” is displayed in yellow or the like. Note that the control unit 313 of the server 110 may transmit a remind message to the terminal 120 of the user who does not pay the split bill for a predetermined period or more.

  Subsequently, the receiving unit 321 of the terminal 120B or the like receives, from each user, an operation (payment operation) for approving the payment of the split bill to each user (Steps S14-1 to S14-4). Here, the receiving unit 321 of the terminal 120B receives from the user B the press of the “pay” button 645E of FIG. 6E.

  Subsequently, the transmission / reception unit 322 of the terminal 120B or the like returns a payment approval response to the server 110 (Steps S15-1 to S15-4). Here, the control unit 313 of the server 110 updates the settlement status of each user to “paid” in the split bill information stored in the split bill storage unit 3151 of FIG. 5A. Then, the transmitting / receiving unit 312 of the server 110 notifies each terminal 120 of the updated payment state. As a result, the payment status of the user who has completed the payment is displayed as “paid” on the split bill information display screen 641 displayed on each terminal 120, so that each user has already completed the payment and You can know if you have not paid.

  Subsequently, the control unit 313 of the server 110 subtracts the split amount for each user from the balance of the user B or the like of the terminal 120B in the user information stored in the user information storage unit 3152 (Step S16).

(User information storage unit 3152)
In the example of FIG. 5B, the user information storage unit 3152 stores a balance, a user ID of a user for whom a predetermined relationship is set, and a history of position information in association with the user ID. The user ID is user identification information. The balance is the balance of the user in the settlement service provided by the server 110. The balance may include, for example, an amount charged (charged) from a bank account or a store such as a convenience store. The user ID of the user for whom the predetermined relationship is set is, for example, the user ID of the user set as a friend in the SNS provided by the server 110 or the like. The history of the position information is a history of the current position acquired by the terminal 120 of the user.

  Subsequently, the control unit 313 of the server 110 adds the split bill subtracted from the balance of each user to the balance of the user A (step S17). Note that, in the example of FIG. 4, an example is described in which the user A first pays the price in a lump sum to replace the burden on each user. The amount may be settled.

  Note that the display control unit 324 of each terminal 120 may display the split information display screen 641 in FIG. 6E based on information acquired from the server 110 in response to a user operation. In addition, the display control unit 324 of the terminal 120A, on the split bill information display screen 641 in FIG. 6E, presses a button (“paid” button) for updating the settlement status of each user to “paid” for each user. It may be displayed together. When the “paid” button associated with one user is pressed, the transmission / reception unit 322 of the terminal 120A transmits a request to update the payment state of the one user to “paid” to the server 110. Then, the control unit 313 of the server 110 updates the settlement state of the one user to “paid” in the split bill information stored in the split bill storage unit 3151 of FIG. 5A. Thereby, for example, when the user A who is the secretary receives a split bill by cash or the like from another user, the settlement state of the other user can be set to “paid” by the operation of the user A. .

抽出 Extraction process of split-candidate target≫
Next, an example of a process for extracting a split target candidate when displaying the split target selection screen in step S1 of FIG. 4 will be described.

  In step S1 of FIG. 4, the transmission / reception unit 322 of the terminal 120A acquires the information of the candidate of the user to be split from the server 110, and the display control unit 324 displays the acquired user of the candidate as the split target selection screen 601 in FIG. 6A. May be displayed. In this case, the transmitting / receiving unit 312 of the server 110 receives the position information of each terminal 120 from each terminal 120 at a predetermined timing (for example, a periodic timing). Then, the control unit 313 of the server 110 selects a user of the terminal 120 located within a predetermined range (for example, within a radius of 20 m) from the reference position, and transmits information of the selected user to the terminal 120A by the transmission / reception unit 322. Good. In this case, the control unit 313 of the server 110 may set the current position of the terminal 120A or the position of the address of the store or the like designated by the user A as the reference position. As a result, another user near the user A or in a store at the venue can be extracted as a candidate for the user to be split.

  In addition, the control unit 313 of the server 110 may select a candidate for a split billing user based on the social graph.

  In this case, the control unit 313 of the server 110 sets, for example, a predetermined relationship stored in the user information storage unit 3152 of FIG. 5B among users of the terminal 120 located within a predetermined range from the current position of the terminal 120A. Based on the user ID of the user, the candidate of the user who is the target of the split bill may be selected. In this case, for example, the control unit 313 of the server 110 sets the predetermined relationship with the user (friend user) having the predetermined relationship with the user A and the user with the predetermined relationship with the user A. May be selected. This makes it possible to extract, from among other users near the user A, a user who is considered to be eating and drinking with the user A, as a candidate for a split billing user. Note that the predetermined relationship means that the server 110 or the terminal 120 stores a predetermined relationship between two or more users. By way of example and not limitation, the predetermined relationship may be a relationship that has mutually approved a relationship building, a relationship where at least one has applied for a relationship building, a relationship built based on user information, a relationship built based on user behavior, a predetermined relationship. It may include a state in which a relationship has been established by satisfying the condition. The relationship constructed based on the user information may include a relationship in which users having one or more pieces of the same or similar user information are related to each other, and the relationship constructed based on the user behavior may be one or more. May include a relationship in which users having the same or similar user behavior are associated with each other. Further, as an example and not by way of limitation, users having a predetermined relationship with the first user include not only a second user having a predetermined relationship with the first user but also a predetermined relationship with the second user. May be included as well.

  Further, the user for whom the predetermined relationship with the user is set (the user having the predetermined relationship with the user) is not limited, and may be, for example, all users having the predetermined relationship with the user, or a predetermined predetermined relationship. The number of users may be the number of users, or the intimacy may be a user with a predetermined degree or more.

  Here, the degree of intimacy refers to a relationship with the user within a predetermined period (a fixed period such as one month or two months, or a period from when a predetermined relationship is established to the present). The degree may be determined so that the degree of intimacy increases in the order of the amount of messages transmitted and received between them. Alternatively, the degree may be determined so that the degree of intimacy increases in descending order of the number of transactions (including purchase and sale of goods, exchange of assets, exchange of money, etc.) performed between users within a predetermined period.

  Further, the degree of intimacy may be a degree determined so that the degree of intimacy increases as the length of the period from the establishment of the predetermined relationship to the present becomes longer. The length of the period from the establishment of the predetermined relationship to the present may be an absolute value or a relative value among one or more users having a predetermined relationship with the user.

  Intimacy is defined such that, for a plurality of other users having a predetermined relationship with a user, the intimacy increases as the length of time during which the other user is within a predetermined range from the position of the user is longer. The degree may be determined. Intimacy is defined as a relationship estimated for a plurality of users having a predetermined relationship with the user based on a period from when the predetermined relationship is established to the present and the position information of each user (for example, family members). The degree may be determined such that the higher the degree of presumed to be related, the higher the degree of intimacy.

  The intimacy is a degree determined for a plurality of other users having a predetermined relationship with the user such that the greater the number of users common to the user (the number of common friends), the higher the intimacy. There may be.

  Intimacy is determined such that among users who have established a predetermined relationship with a user who is communicating with the user, the intimacy increases as the number of users having the predetermined relationship with the user increases. May be the degree to be performed.

  The intimacy level is a degree determined such that the higher the degree of similarity between the attribute of the user and each attribute of a plurality of users having a predetermined relationship with the user, the higher the intimacy level. Is also good. The attributes of the user may be interest or interest, by way of example and not limitation.

  Further, in step S1 of FIG. 4, the control unit 323 of the terminal 120A obtains information of a candidate for a split bill from another terminal 120 by short-range wireless communication, and displays the obtained user of the other terminal 120. The control unit 324 may display the split target selection screen 601 in FIG. 6A. In this case, the short-range wireless communication may be any type as long as wireless communication can be established between the terminals 120 at a relatively short distance. The short-range wireless communication includes, for example, but not limited to, Wi-Fi, Radio Frequency Identifier (RFID), Near Field Communication (NFC), Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and ultrasonic waves.

  As a result, another user near the user A can be extracted as a candidate for a split billing user. In addition, the control unit 323 of the terminal 120A may select a candidate for a split billing user based on the social graph. In this case, the control unit 323 of the terminal 120A selects, for example, a user (friend user) having a predetermined relationship with the user A among the users of the other terminals 120 detected by the short-range wireless communication, The selected user may be displayed on the split target selection screen 601 in FIG. 6A by the display control unit 324.

  Further, in step S1 of FIG. 4, the control unit 323 of the terminal 120A captures a group photo or the like or a moving image of each user participating in the event in response to the operation of the user A, and captures the captured image (still image). Alternatively, each user may be identified by recognizing the face of each user from the moving image), and each identified user may be displayed on the split target selection screen 601 in FIG. 6A by the display control unit 324. The image recognition process may be executed by the server 110. In this case, the control unit 323 of the terminal 120A transmits the captured image to the server 110, and the control unit 313 of the server 110 identifies each user by recognizing the face of each user from the received image and identifies each user. Information of each user may be transmitted to the terminal 120A.

≪Calculation process of split amount 勘
Next, an example of a process in which the control unit 313 of the server 110 calculates the split amount in step S11 of FIG. 4 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a process for calculating a split amount according to the embodiment.

  In step S101, the control unit 313 of the server 110 specifies the start date and time and the end date and time of the event to be split. Here, the control unit 313 of the server 110 may receive, for example, information on the start date and time and the end date and time of the event specified by the user A in the process of step S2 in FIG. Alternatively, the end date and time of the event may be the date and time at which the terminal 120A has received from the user A an operation in which the user A splits the bill by each user in the process of step S9 in FIG. Alternatively, by referring to the shooting date and time added as metadata to each image uploaded to the image sharing site for the event provided by the server 110 from each terminal 120, the oldest shooting date and time and the latest shooting date and time are determined. The start date and time and the end date and time of the event may be respectively set.

  Subsequently, the control unit 313 of the server 110 specifies a time (stay time) during which each user to be split is participating in the event (step S102). Here, the control unit 313 of the server 110 may specify the stay time of each user based on the history of the position information of each user stored in the user information storage unit 3152 of FIG. 5B. This allows each user to automatically cause the server 110 to specify the stay time.

  In this case, for example, the control unit 313 of the server 110 first acquires the position information of the terminal 120 of each user from the terminal 120 of each user at regular timing or the like, and manages the acquired position information of each user. You may. Then, the control unit 313 of the server 110 may calculate the time during which each user stayed at the predetermined place from the start date and time to the end date and time of the event. Here, the control unit 313 of the server 110 may set the predetermined location to be within a predetermined range (for example, within a radius of 20 m) from the position specified by the user A in the processing of step S2 and the like in FIG. Alternatively, the control unit 313 of the server 110 sets the predetermined location within a predetermined range (for example, within a radius of 20 m) from the position of the terminal 120A when the processing of step S2 or step S9 in FIG. 4 is performed, for example. It may be.

  Alternatively, for example, the control unit 313 of the server 110 may specify the stay time of each user based on information on the participation time and the leaving time of each user who has received an input from the user A at the terminal 120A. Thus, for example, even for a user who has refused to notify the position information, the server 110 can specify the stay time.

  Subsequently, the control unit 313 of the server 110 calculates a split bill for each user based on the stay time of each user (step S103). Here, the control unit 313 of the server 110 calculates so that the longer the staying time is, the higher the split bill is. In this case, for example, the control unit 313 of the server 110 may calculate the split amount of each user using the ratio of the stay time of each user as the ratio of the split amount of each user. In this case, in the example of FIG. 5A, the ratio of the stay time of each of the users A to E is 2: 2: 1: 1: 1. Therefore, for example, the split amount of the user A is calculated to be 7280 yen, which is 2/7 of the price of 25480 yen.

  Note that, when the basic charge of each user's split fee is set by the user A or the like, the control unit 313 of the server 110 calculates the difference between the price and the total amount of the basic charge of each user by The burden amount for each user may be calculated based on the user's stay time. In this case, the control unit 313 of the server 110 sets the total amount of the basic fee and the burden amount for the difference as the split bill for each user. Thus, for example, when ordering a course meal only for meals and ordering beverages on their own, it is possible to make each user pay for the course meal regardless of the stay time. If the price is not divisible, the control unit 313 of the server 110 may increase the fractional part of the split amount of each user. Alternatively, the control unit 313 of the server 110 may cut off the amount of money after the decimal point of each user, and cause the provider of the server 110 (payment provider) to bear the shortfall.

  Hereinafter, an example of a process according to the embodiment will be described. The processing of each of the following embodiments can be executed in combination with the processing of another embodiment.

<< 1st Example >>
The first embodiment is an embodiment in which one user can pay at least part of the other user's bill instead. According to the first embodiment, for example, it is possible to execute a process in a case where a boss gives at least a part of a subordinate's split amount, or a senior gives at least a part of a junior's split amount.

<< Process of First Embodiment >>
The processing of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 8A and 8B. 8A and 8B are diagrams illustrating an example of a display screen of the terminal 120 according to the embodiment.

  Hereinafter, an example will be described in which the user B of the terminal 120B pays at least a part of the user D's split bill. In the following processing, the user B may have paid or not paid the user B's split amount, and the user D may have paid or not paid the user D's split amount. The same applies to the following processing when a user other than the user B pays at least a part of the other user's bill.

  When the display control unit 324 of the terminal 120B presses the area 647 of the user D by the user B while displaying the split bill information display screen 641 of FIG. 6E, the terminal 120B displays the payment amount designation screen of FIG. 8A. 811 is displayed. In the example of FIG. 8A, the display control unit 324 of the terminal 120B inputs the message 812 indicating the split amount calculated for the user D, and the amount paid by the user B instead of the split amount calculated for the user D. An input field 813 and a “pay” button 814 are displayed. In the example of FIG. 8A, the user B inputs 2000 yen in the input field 813.

  Here, when the “pay” button 814 is pressed, the transmission / reception unit 322 of the terminal 120B transmits a proxy payment request to the server 110. Here, the proxy payment request includes information on the user ID of the user D and the amount of money input in the input field 813.

  Then, the control unit 313 of the server 110 determines that the settlement status of the user D is “unpaid (2,000 yen was paid by the user B as a proxy)” in the split bill information stored in the split bill information storage unit 3151 of FIG. 5A. Update to Then, the control unit 313 of the server 110 notifies each terminal 120 of the updated payment state. Then, the display control unit 324 of each terminal 120 updates the display screen from the split bill information display screen 641 in FIG. 6E to the split bill information display screen 821 in FIG. 8B. In the example of FIG. 8B, the display control unit 324 of each terminal 120 draws a strikethrough on the original split amount 822A of the user D and displays the original split amount 822A as a blank, and the display control unit 324 is assigned to the user D. The remaining split amount 822B is displayed. The remaining split amount 822B is 1640 yen, which is an amount obtained by subtracting 2000 yen paid by the user B on behalf of the original split amount of 3640 yen. Further, a message 823 indicating that 2000 yen has been paid by the user B on behalf of the user D is displayed. As a result, the settlement status of the user D is displayed as “unpaid (2000 yen was paid by the user B on behalf of the user)” on the split bill information display screen 641 displayed on each terminal 120 thereafter. Can know that user B has paid a part of user D's split amount.

  Then, the control unit 313 of the server 110 subtracts the amount input in the input field 813 from the balance of the user B of the terminal 120B in the user information stored in the user information storage unit 3152. Then, the control unit 313 of the server 110 determines whether or not the user D has already paid the split amount of the user D, and if the payment has been completed, adds the subtracted amount to the balance of the user D. On the other hand, if the payment has not been made, the subtracted amount is added to the balance of the user A.

  Note that one user may be allowed to pay an amount larger than the split bill for the one user without designating the user to be treated. Hereinafter, an example in which user B pays 10,000 yen when the split amount calculated for user B is 7280 yen will be described.

  First, the receiving unit 321 of the terminal 120B receives an operation of paying the user B an amount larger than the calculated split amount on the payment amount designation screen 811 or the like in FIG. 8A. Then, the transmission / reception unit 322 of the terminal 120B transmits a payment request for the amount specified by the user B to the server 110.

  Then, the control unit 313 of the server 110 updates the settlement state of the user B to “paid”, and the amount specified for the user B is 10,000 yen and the split amount calculated for the user B is 7280 yen. 2720 yen is calculated. Then, the control unit 313 of the server 110 calculates the amount obtained by equally dividing the calculated difference of 2,720 yen by each user other than the user B, or the amount distributed based on the ratio of the staying time of each user, from the split amount of each user. Subtract. Note that, in this case, the control unit 313 of the server 110 may distribute a larger amount by a predetermined ratio or a predetermined amount to the user A who is the organizer of the event. Further, the control unit 313 of the server 110 may distribute a larger amount as the order of payment is earlier. Alternatively, a larger amount may be distributed as the time from the end date and time of the event to the date and time when the split bill is paid is shorter. In this case, for the user who paid the split bill, the distributed amount may be added to the user's balance. This can give each user an incentive to pay early.

  Then, the control unit 313 of the server 110 stores, in the settlement state of each user, information indicating that the amount subtracted for each user by the user B has been paid by proxy, and the settlement state of each user. Is displayed on each terminal 120.

  Note that, when the control unit 313 of the server 110 receives the payment refusal request from the terminal 120 of one user whose payment status is “unpaid” or “unapproved”, the control unit 313 selects the one of The refusal request is transferred to the terminal of each user other than the user. Then, upon receiving an approval response from the terminal 120 of a user other than the one user, the split amount for the one user is shared by the users other than the one user among the users to be split based on the stay time. In such a case, the split bill of each user may be calculated again. In this case, the control unit 313 of the server 110 may transfer the payment refusal request only to the terminal of the user whose settlement status is “unpaid” among the users to be split. As a result, the paid user can be prevented from increasing the split bill after the payment.

<< 2nd Example >>
The second embodiment is an embodiment in which a split bill is calculated using information of a messaging service provided by the server 110. According to the second embodiment, for example, a plurality of users can easily share the payment of the price.

<Functional Configuration of Second Embodiment>
FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the server 110 and the terminal 120 according to the second embodiment. The example of FIG. 9 is different from the example of FIG. 3 in that the storage unit 315 of the server 110 has a messaging information storage unit 3153 and the server 110 has a messaging processing unit 316.

  The messaging processing unit 316 performs, for example, a process of providing an SNS messaging service to the user of the terminal 120.

<< Process of Second Embodiment >>
The processing of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of the messaging information stored in the messaging information storage unit 3153 according to the second embodiment. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display screen of the terminal 120 according to the second embodiment.

  In the second embodiment, first, in step S2 of FIG. 4, the reception unit 321 of the terminal 120A receives, for example, an operation for designating an event name and each user who participates in the event. Then, the messaging processing unit 316 of the server 110 sets a group for the messaging service for the event based on the information designated by the user A. Then, each user included in the group uses the messaging service provided by the server 110 to transmit and receive messages and contents such as images. Here, the messaging processing unit 316 of the server 110 stores the content transmitted and received in the group in the messaging information storage unit 3153.

(Messaging information storage unit 3153)
In the example of FIG. 10, the messaging information storage unit 3153 stores a user ID of each participating user, a split ID, and a transmission / reception history in association with the group ID. The group ID is, for example, identification information of a group of each user who participates in an event such as eating and drinking for split billing. The user ID of each user who participates is a user ID of each user who participates in an event such as eating and drinking to split the bill. The transmission / reception history includes information on each content, the transmission date and time of each content, and the user ID of the user who transmitted each content.

  In the example of FIG. 11, the display control unit 324 of each terminal 120 displays, on the instant messaging screen 1101, the event name 1102, the ID or display name 1103 of each user participating in the event, and the content of each user who transmitted the content 1104C to 1107C. The IDs or display names 1104A to 1107A, the icons 1104B to 1107B of the respective users, and the transmission date and time 1104D to 1107D, which are the date and time when each content was transmitted, are displayed. Note that “Store A” of 1106A is a user of a Bot account of the store where the event is performed, and when the user sends a message such as “4 drinks of XX” of the content 1105C, the store is set to AI. Accept the order by.

  Then, in step S11 of FIG. 4, the control unit 313 of the server 110 specifies the staying time of each user to be split, based on the content transmitted and received in the group stored in the messaging information storage unit 3153, Calculate the split bill for each user.

  Here, the control unit 313 of the server 110 may specify the start date and time and the end date and time of the event to be split by analyzing the meaning of each message using AI or the like in step S101 in FIG. In this case, for example, the transmission date and time 1104D of the content 1104C “Starting Now” transmitted by the user A may be specified as the event start date and time.

  In addition, the control unit 313 of the server 110 may specify the time during which each user who is the target of the split bill is participating in the event by analyzing the meaning of each message using AI or the like in step S102 in FIG. . In this case, for example, the transmission date and time 1107D of the content 1107C “arrival” transmitted by the user D may be specified as the date and time when the user D starts participating in the event. Further, the transmission date and time of a message such as “Return to the beginning” transmitted from the user may be specified as the end date and time of the user's participation in the event.

With respect to the above description, the following items are further disclosed.
