That is, unless an instruction to shift to a sleep state or the like is given in the server 1, it is determined as NO in step S27, the processing is returned to step S21, and the processing thereafter is repeated.
On the other hand, when the server 1 issues an instruction to shift to a sleep state or the like, it is determined as YES in step S27, and the place designation reception processing ends.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and modifications, improvements, etc. within the scope of achieving the object of the present invention are included in the present invention. be.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the second person T receives the souvenir at the second store D2, which is the second location A2. It may be T's home. In this case, at least one of the first terminal 2 and the second terminal 3 is provided with a nomination receiving section (not shown) for receiving the nomination of a person who will deliver the souvenir to the home of the second person T (second place A2). may be provided. As a result, the second person T can have the desired person deliver the souvenir to his/her home. The information regarding the nomination of the person who delivers the souvenir received by the nomination receiving unit is managed as delivery information by the product information management unit 101 of the server 1 .

Further, for example, in the above-described embodiment, a case is described in which the first person G gives a souvenir to the second person T. You may make it function as the 1st terminal 2 in the above-mentioned embodiment. Thereby, the second person T can give the souvenir to the first person G when he goes on a business trip. In this case, the first person G causes the first terminal 2 to function as the second terminal 3 in the above embodiment.

Also, for example, the series of processes described above can be executed by hardware or by software.
In other words, the functional configurations of FIGS. 4 and 6 are merely examples and are not particularly limited.
In other words, it is sufficient for the information processing system to have a function capable of executing the above-described series of processes as a whole, and examples of FIGS. Not limited. Also, the locations of the functional blocks are not particularly limited to those shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, and may be arbitrary. For example, in the functional block diagram shown in FIG. 6, the access control unit 132 is configured to function in the CPU 121 of the first terminal 2, but is not limited to this and may be configured to function in the CPU 21 of the server 1. Similarly, the access control unit 312 configured to function in the CPU 301 of the second terminal 3 may be configured to function in the CPU 21 of the server 1 .
Also, one functional block may be composed of hardware alone, software alone, or a combination thereof.

Further, for example, when a series of processes is executed by software, a program constituting the software is installed in a computer or the like from a network or a recording medium.
The computer may be a computer built into dedicated hardware.
Further, the computer may be a computer capable of executing various functions by installing various programs, such as a server, a smart phone, a personal computer, or various devices.

Also, for example, a recording medium containing such a program can be provided by a removable medium (not shown) that is distributed separately from the main body of the device in order to provide the program to the first person, the second person, the seller, and the delivery person. In addition to being configured, it is configured by a recording medium or the like that is provided to the user in a state of being pre-installed in the device main body.

In this specification, the steps of writing a program recorded on a recording medium are not only processes that are performed chronologically in that order, but also processes that are not necessarily chronologically processed, and that are performed in parallel or individually. It also includes the processing to be performed.
Further, in this specification, the term "system" means an overall device composed of a plurality of devices, a plurality of means, or the like.

In other words, the information processing system to which the present invention is applied can take various embodiments having the following configurations.
That is, the information processing system to which the present invention is applied is

In an information processing system including a second terminal (for example, the second terminal 3 in FIG. 2) operated to receive at the location A2) of 2),
Reading means (for example, reading unit 131 in FIG. 6) for reading a predetermined identifier (for example, the QR code (registered trademark) in FIG. 2) indicating the URL (for example, the limited URL in FIG. 2) of a predetermined website (for example, limited website W) )When,
access control means (for example, the access control units 132 and 312 in FIG. 6) that controls access to the predetermined website using the read URL;
Code issuing means (for example, the code issuing section 203 in FIG. 6) that issues a souvenir code indicating that the user has the right to receive the souvenir at the second location (for example, the right H to receive the souvenir at the second location A2). )When,
code reception means (for example, the input reception units 134 and 314 and the code acquisition unit 202 in FIG. 6) that receives the input of the souvenir code on the predetermined website;
determination means (for example, validation/invalidation processing unit 204 in FIG. 6) for determining whether or not the souvenir code whose input is accepted is valid;
Pick-up location acceptance means (for example, input acceptance units 134 and 314 and specified location acquisition unit 205 in FIG. 6) that accepts designation of the second location on the predetermined website;
Delivery information presenting means for presenting delivery information including at least information on the second location for which the designation has been accepted and information on the souvenir (for example, the product etc. information management unit in FIG. 6) on the predetermined website. 101, display control units 133 and 313);
Prepare.
As a result, when a first person visiting a remote place purchases a souvenir for a second person, he/she can quickly and easily hand over the purchased souvenir to the second person without taking it home by himself/herself. In addition, by expanding the range of products that sellers can offer as souvenirs, it is possible to revitalize the local economy.

Also, the second place is a predetermined place (for example, home) where the second person is located,
A designation receiving means for receiving a designation of a person who delivers the souvenir to the predetermined place can be further provided.
As a result, the second person T can have the desired person deliver the souvenir to his/her home, so the store D2 at the second location A2 can also provide the souvenir limited to the second store D2. can.
