Further, in step S130, the processor unit 130 of the server device 100 notifies (transmits) the viewer attribute data to the terminal 300 of the privilege grantor who uploaded the privilege information in step S300, so that there is an accepting applicant. Notify that. This notification corresponds to the second notification. The viewer attribute data corresponds to the attribute information of the accepting applicant.

In step S310, the privilege grantor's terminal 300 accepts the notified viewer attribute data as an application for privilege grant, that is, registers the viewer attribute data in the privilege grant schedule list provided in a storage unit (not shown). do. This registration may be, for example, the order of reception, the order of names included in the viewer attribute data, or the order based on other rules, and is not limited.

<Step S140A>
Further, after the processing of step S130, in step S140A, the processor unit 130 generates a two-dimensional code as unique key information, transmits the two-dimensional code to the privilege grantor's terminal 300, and transmits the two-dimensional code in step S110. It is stored in association with the viewer attribute data of the registered acceptance applicant database unit 154.

Here, the two-dimensional code is, for example, in the present embodiment, the key information is a QR code (registered trademark), but the key information is not limited to the QR code (registered trademark), and may be another two-dimensional code. Examples of other two-dimensional codes include SP code, veric code, maxi code, CP code, chameleon code, PDF417 and the like. Further, instead of the two-dimensional code, the key information may be a one-dimensional code (for example, a bar code) or a three-dimensional code. The two-dimensional code consists of at least one of a numerical value and a character string, and is generated so as to have a unique value. This two-dimensional code corresponds to the identification code.

In step S310, the two-dimensional code transmitted to the privilege grantor's terminal 300 is stored in the storage unit (not shown) in association with the viewer attribute data of the privilege grant schedule list provided in the storage unit (not shown). ..

When an applicant for acceptance arrives at a designated place, the person in charge operates the terminal 300 to obtain the viewer attribute data of the privilege grant schedule list of the storage unit (not shown) based on the name of the applicant for acceptance and the like. Search for the associated 2D code. Then, the two-dimensional code of the search result is posted on a display (not shown) (step S320A). In step S320A, instead of posting the two-dimensional code on the display of the terminal 300, the two-dimensional code stored in the storage unit of the terminal 300 is printed in advance on a medium such as paper, and the printed two-dimensional code is printed. The image pickup unit (camera) included in the mobile terminal 200n may be used for imaging.

In step S210A, the accepting applicant captures the two-dimensional code posted on the display with the imaging unit (camera) included in the mobile terminal 200n, and transmits the captured image of the captured two-dimensional code to the server device 100. ..

<Step S150A>
In step S150A, the processor unit 130 of the server device 100 collates the received two-dimensional code with the two-dimensional code registered in the acceptance applicant database unit 154. Then, when the match between the two is confirmed as the collation result, the processor unit 130 unlocks the access to the privilege information database unit 152 and allows the stored privilege (image in the present embodiment) to be downloaded. ..

Since the server device 100 allows the download of the privilege, the accepting applicant operates the mobile terminal 200n to access the privilege information database unit 152 and downloads the privilege (image in the present embodiment).
