FIG. 5 is a book exchange flow diagram between users of the book exchange program 235 executed by the control unit 21 of the management server 2 communicating with the user terminal 3 .
The book exchange program 235 is executed when the selection of "rent books between users (exchange)" is received (when books are exchanged between users).
Note that each operation and each process from step S1 to step S9 are the same as those of the book lending program 234, and therefore are omitted.

After registering new book data 322 in step S7 or accepting the selection of a book possessed by the user through the input unit 32 of the user-side terminal 3 in step S9, the control unit 21 selects the book possessed by the exchange partner user. The input unit 32 of the user-side terminal 3 receives the input of the book ID of the book currently being read. That is, the input of the book ID written on the band of the book possessed by the exchange partner user or the reading of the unique two-dimensional code 102A attached to the band is accepted (step S100). At this time, the book ID of the book newly registered in step S7 or selected in step S9 is displayed on the user-side terminal 3, and furthermore, a display is displayed to prompt the exchange destination user to tell the book ID. Let

The control unit 21 refers to the book data 233 for the book ID received from the input unit 32 of the user-side terminal 3 in step S100, and determines whether or not there is a corresponding book (step S101). At this time, the control unit 21 refers to the lending status data 233e of the corresponding book ID data 233a in the book data 233, and if it is "on loan", the user included in the referred lending status data 233e From the ID data 231a (user identification data), the exchange destination user and the user data 231 are identified, and it is determined that there is a corresponding book (step S101: YES). The lending status data 233e of the corresponding book ID data 233a in the book data 233 is referred to, and the corresponding book ID data 233a is not stored in the first place, or the lending status data 233e of the exchange destination is not "on loan" ( "in storage"), or if the user ID data 231a (user identification data) included in the referred lending status data 233e is the same as the user ID data 231a of the exchange source user data 231, It is determined that there is no corresponding book (step S101: NO), and prompts the user to enter a different book ID by displaying a message such as "There is no corresponding book" on the user terminal 3 (not shown), and step Go to S100.

If the control unit 21 determines that there is a corresponding book in step S101, it sets the lending status data 233e of the book data 233 of the lending book to "waiting for exchange" (step S102).

The control unit 21 executes steps S1 to S9 and steps S100 to S102 by communicating with both of the user terminals 3 of the two exchanging users. Therefore, the control unit 21 causes the lending status data 233e of the book data 233 of the two books lent to the two users to be exchanged to be in the "waiting for exchange" state.

The control unit 21 determines whether the lending status data 233e of the book to be exchanged is "waiting for exchange" (step S103). If it is not "waiting for exchange" (step S103: NO), the "waiting for exchange" state of the book to be exchanged continues.

If the lending status data 233e of the book to be exchanged is "waiting for exchange" (step S103: YES), the control unit 21 processes the lending status of the book. That is, the user ID data 231a (user identification data) included in the lending status data 233e of the exchange destination book data 233 is added to the lending status data 233e of the book data 233 registered in step S7 or selected in step S9. It is stored as the user data 231 of the lending destination. Further, for the book data 233 including the book ID data 233a accepted in step S100, the user ID data 231a (user identification data) of the logged-in user data 231 is stored as the lending destination user data 231 in the lending status data 233e. (step S104). Then, the user side terminal 3 is made to display the book titles of the books lent to the exchange party and the book names borrowed from the exchange party by referring to the book name data 233b of the book data 233 of each book.

With this configuration, it is possible to borrow a book that the user wants to read because it is recommended by another user without going through a book storage store, and recommend the book that the user wants to recommend to other users.
In addition, since users borrow books one by one from each other and it is essential to exchange the borrowed books with each other, problems in the system do not occur. In other words, if only one-way lending is allowed between users, the users who have lent the books will have no books at hand, and the only way to borrow new books is to donate the books. In this way, it is possible to provide a convenient environment in which users can exchange books without causing any disadvantage to the users.

The control unit 21 receives, from the user-side terminal 3, selection of a book photo 206a (book name display unit 207a) made selectable by embedding a link to a book page 300 of a book that the user has borrowed, A book page 300 is displayed on the user-side terminal 3, and the selection of the donation user name display section 305 (lending history display section 308) made selectable by embedding the link of the user page 200 in the displayed book page 300 is accepted. Then, the user side terminal 3 displays the user page 200 of the user who donated or lent the book. With this configuration, the user can browse the information (book page 300) of other books borrowed by other users who have donated or borrowed the books that the user has borrowed. . Furthermore, from the donation user name display portion 305 (lending history display portion 308) of the viewed book page 300, the user page 200 of another user who has donated or borrowed the book can be viewed. It is possible to browse the book pages 300 of the books that the user has donated or borrowed from the donated user name display section 305 (lending history display section 308) of the user page 200. FIG. Therefore, a certain user A can obtain information on a different book (book B) from a book (book A) that has been borrowed, by following another user B who has donated or borrowed the book A. At this time, since the book A and the book B have been borrowed by at least the user B, the user A who has borrowed the book A may want to borrow the book B. Furthermore, when the user A becomes interested in the book B, information on the new book C can be obtained from the book page 300 of the book B by following the user C who has donated or borrowed the book B. can. That is, the user can efficiently search for different books of interest from the book page 300 that the user has borrowed. By doing so, even if the user himself/herself does not select a book from the title or the table of contents, the user can borrow the reading history, memories, and comments of other users who sympathize with the memories. It is possible to expand the range of books that the user can read, and to improve the user's satisfaction.

The control unit 21 stores the book data 233 of the book that has been lent to the user from the book storage store and whose lending status data 233e has been changed to data indicating "on loan", or the two books that have been exchanged between the users. By referring to the donation registration data 233g included in the data 233, the user data 231 of the user who registered the book is specified from the user identification data, , to send a notification indicating that the donated book has been lent. With this configuration, when the donated book is lent to another user or exchanged between users, the user who has donated the book can read the name of the book that was lent or exchanged, the lending destination The user's name, the name of the book that the user to whom the loan was lent has stored in the book storage store or exchanged, and the notification that the donated book has been lent can be known. Therefore, it is possible to motivate the user who donated the book to visit the store again. In addition, users who donate can also know what other books are read by users who have read the books they donated, which motivates them to borrow books that they did not know about. , can broaden the range of reading.
