[Operation of donation support system]
Next, the operation of the donation support system of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described with reference to a flowchart and the like. In the following, (1) donation setting process for setting donations using tag information, (2) image collection process for collecting images related to donations, (3) image identification process for identifying images related to donations, And (4) The outline of the donation made will be explained separately for each process of the donation disclosure process.

(1) Donation setting process The donation provider sets the donation in order to link the tag information desired by the donation with the donation. At this time, the following donation setting process is executed.
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a procedure of the donation setting process executed by the donation support device 1 and the donation provider device 3. As shown in FIG. 7, the donation provider device 3 first transmits a donation setting request for starting the donation setting to the donation support device 1 according to the instruction from the donation provider (S101).

When the donation support device 1 receives the donation setting request transmitted from the donation provider device 3 (S201), the donation support device 1 transmits the setting screen information for setting the donation to the donation provider device 3 (S202). ..

When the donation provider device 3 receives the setting screen information transmitted from the donation support device 1 (S102), the donation provider device 3 displays a setting screen obtained based on the setting screen information on the display (S103). FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a display example of the setting screen. As shown in FIG. 8, on the setting screen 1001, the desired tag input field 1002 for inputting the tag information desired by the donor, the poster attribute input field 1003 for inputting the attribute of the image poster, A budget input field 1004 for inputting a budget and a transmission button 1005 for transmitting the information input in each input field to the donation support device 1 are provided.

The donation provider inputs one or more tag information that seems appropriate to be associated with the donation provided by the donation provider in the desired tag input field 1002. For example, when a donation provider provides a donation for the purpose of child-rearing support, hashtags such as "# child-rearing" and "# child-rearing" are input. When a donation provider makes a donation for the purpose of promoting his / her product, the product name or brand name is input as a hashtag. In addition, if the donation provider wishes to provide the donation in association with the image posted in a specific area, tag information indicating the area or the like is input. This tag information may be input by the donation provider by inputting an arbitrary character string, and a column for displaying one or more tag information registered in the tag DB 13D is separately provided to provide the donation provider. May be done by selecting specific tag information from that field.

In addition, the donation provider inputs one or more attributes of the poster that are considered appropriate to be associated with the donation provided by the donation provider in the poster attribute input field 1003. For example, when a donation provider provides a donation for the purpose of supporting women's social advancement, attributes such as "female" and "20s to 30s" are input. In addition, when a donation provider makes a donation for the purpose of promoting his / her product, the attributes of the main purchasing group of the product are input. As in the case of tag information, this poster attribute can be input by providing a column for displaying one or more attributes prepared in advance and the donation provider selecting a specific attribute from the column. Good.

At least one of the above tag information and poster attribute may be input. However, if only the poster attribute is entered, the collected images will be limited to those taken by the image poster registered in advance via the registration site, etc., so the images will be displayed in a wider range. If you want to collect it, it is preferable to enter the tag information.

Further, the donation provider inputs the budget allocation amount for the donation related to the input tag information and / or the image associated with the poster attribute in the budget input field 1004. The donor may enter the total amount of the budget he has prepared, or may enter a portion of it. If a part of the amount is entered, another tag information and / or poster attribute can be set for the remaining amount. A plurality of input fields 1002 to 1004 may be provided on the donation setting screen 1001 so that these can be input at the same time. This allotted amount may be obtained by the donation support device 1 automatically calculating according to a predetermined rule.

The donation provider device 3 receives the input made to each of the input fields 1002 to 1004 as described above (S104). After that, when the send button 1005 is clicked by the donation provider, the donation provider device 3 transmits the setting information including each information for which the input is accepted to the donation support device 1 (S105).

When the donation support device 1 receives the setting information transmitted from the donation provider device 3 (S203), the donation support device 1 updates the donation provider DB 13A using each information included in the setting information (S204). Specifically, the tag information, the poster attribute, and the budget allocation amount included in the setting information are stored in the desired tag field 105, the poster attribute field 106, and the allocation amount field 107, respectively. This completes the donation setting process.

In the present embodiment, the tag information, the poster attribute, and the budget are set by the donation setting process as described above, but these may be set by other processes. For example, at least one of tag information, poster attributes, and budget may be set via the above-mentioned registration site or the like.

The tag information set as described above is widely open to the public. Specifically, the tag information will be posted on the website operated by the operator of the donation support system, or the tag information will be provided to various media. In addition, the tag information is spread by sharing the SNS or the like. As a result, the image poster can know the existence of the tag information related to the donation. At this time, it is preferable that not only the tag information but also related information (purpose of donation, name of donation provider, etc.) indicating what kind of donation the tag information is associated with is disclosed. When the image contributor who referred to this related information agrees with the purpose of donation, etc., he / she takes an image using the image contributor device 2, attaches the tag information, and then SNS etc. on the Internet 100. Post to various services. The image posted in this way is collected by the image collection process described later. It is possible that the image poster accidentally posts an image with the tag information without knowing the existence of the tag information published as described above. In addition, an image with the tag information may already exist on the Internet 100. Such posted images will also be collected by the image collection process described later.

If the image poster is a person who has been registered in advance via the above registration site, that is, if the image poster information is stored in the image poster DB13C, the donation support system is operated. Images may be posted on image posting sites operated by other parties. In this case, the posted image is stored in the image DB 13E of the donation support device 1 in association with the image poster ID.

(2) Image collection process The donation support device 1 executes an image collection process for collecting images associated with donations using the tag information and poster attributes set as described above. The details of this image collection process will be described below.

The donation support device 1 collects images with the hashtag from the Internet 100 based on the hashtag stored in the donation provider DB 13A. For example, when "# child-rearing" is stored in the donation provider DB 13A, images with "# child-rearing" are collected by performing a search using the "# child-rearing" as a key.

Further, the donation support device 1 collects an image with the tag information from the Internet 100 based on the tag information indicating the area stored in the donation provider DB 13A. When an image is posted by the image poster device 2, tag information indicating the posted area may be attached to the image. When the tag information attached to the image and the tag information indicating the area stored in the donation provider DB 13A match, the donation support device 1 acquires the image.

(3) Image identification process An image associated with donation is specified from the images collected by the above image collection process. The image identification process for performing this identification will be described.
FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a procedure of image identification processing executed by the donation support device 1 and the donation provider device 3. As shown in FIG. 9, the donation support device 1 first transmits browsing screen information including a list of images collected by the image collection process to the donation provider device 3 (S301).

When the contributor attribute related to the donation is set by the donation provider, the donation support device 1 refers to the image contributor DB13C to identify the image contributor having the contributor attribute, and the donation support device 1 identifies the contributor who has the contributor attribute. The image posted by the specified image poster is extracted from the image DB 13E. Then, in step S301, the donation support device 1 transmits the browsing screen information including the list of the extracted images to the donation provider device 3.

When the donation provider device 3 receives the browsing screen information transmitted by the donation support device 1 (S401), the donation provider device 3 displays the browsing screen obtained based on the browsing screen information on the display (S402). FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a display example of the browsing screen. As shown in FIG. 10, on the browsing screen 2001, a display field 2002 for displaying an image, a check field 2003 for selecting the image, and information indicating the check result in the check field are sent to the donation support device 1. A transmission button 2004 for transmitting to the computer is provided.

The donation provider refers to the images displayed in the display field 2002 and identifies one or more images that may be appropriate to be associated with the donations he / she provides. Then, the donation provider selects an image by clicking the check box 2003 associated with the image thus identified. This completes the entry of selection information indicating the image selected by the donor.

The donation provider device 3 accepts the input of the selection information performed as described above (S403). After that, when the send button 2004 is clicked by the donation provider, the donation provider device 3 transmits the selection information that has received the input to the donation support device 1 (S404).

When the donation support device 1 receives the selection information transmitted from the donation provider device 3 (S302), the donation support device 1 determines the donation content based on the image indicated by the selection information (S303). In this case, the donation support device 1 determines how much donation is made in association with the image. For example, if there is only one image selected by the donation provider, it is determined that the full amount of the allotted amount set by the donation setting process will be donated in association with the one image. If there are a plurality of selected images, the donation amount is determined by dividing the allotted amount equally by the number. Here, instead of dividing the image equally, it may be calculated according to the degree of contribution of the image poster related to the image to the donation support system. This contribution is an index determined by the number of posts, the number of times the image was adopted as an image associated with a donation, and so on. In this way, the donated goods may be the donation content instead of the donation amount.

In step S303, the donation recipient may or may not be identified. When specified, the person set by the donation provider is specified as the donation recipient, or the person extracted from the donation recipient DB 13B by the donation support device 1 based on a predetermined rule is used as the donation recipient. It is expected to be specified. If it is not specified, the donation recipient will be specified by the donation support system operator or the donation provider at an appropriate timing after the image identification process is completed.

Next, the donation support device 1 generates donation confirmation information indicating the details of the donation confirmed as described above (S304), and registers this in the donation confirmation DB 14F (S305). As a result, the image identification process is completed.

(4) Donation public processing The donation related to the donation confirmation information registered in the donation confirmation DB 14F as described above is carried out at a predetermined timing. The outline of the donations made in this way will be made public by the donation disclosure process described below.

When a request is received from an external device via the Internet 100 after the donation is made, the donation support device 1 includes the donation date, the recipient / provider of the donation, and the image associated with the donation. The poster who posted the image and the donation public screen information showing the donation public screen showing the donation contents such as the amount of donation are transmitted to the external device. This device displays the donation public screen on the display based on the donation public screen information.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a donation public screen. As shown in FIG. 11, the donation public screen 3001 shows various information such as the above-mentioned donation implementation date. By referring to this, it is possible to know when and what kind of donation was made to whom by whom. You can also find out what kind of image is involved in the donation and who posted the image. This makes it possible to obtain various information such as what kind of image / image poster contributes to the donation, what kind of image is selected by what kind of donation provider, and so on.

As described above, in the case of this embodiment, by linking the posted image (content) and the donation, it is possible to support the implementation of the donation in which the content creator and the donation recipient do not match. This makes it possible to flexibly respond to various needs and promote donations.
