造成負擔,可擴張既存的服務提供系統對於使用者提供之 服務種類幅度的服務擴張系統及連繫伺服器。 [用以解決課題之手段] 本發明係藉由後述手段,解決前述課題。再者,爲使 易於理解本發明,將添附圖面之參照符號以括弧附記,但 是,本發明並不因此而被限定於圖式之形態者。 本發明的服務擴張系統(1、厂、300),係具備:使 用者終端(2),係具有受理使用者之操作的操作輸入部 (23)及輸出所定資訊的輸出部(22);服務提供伺服器 (3),係進行操作前述使用者終端之使用者的認證處理 ,允許藉由前述認證處理而認證成立之使用者的使用者終 端進行存取,並因應前述使用者終端的要求,提供所定服 務;及擴張提供系統(4),係對於前述存取被允許之使 用者終端的使用者,提供擴張服務;其特徵爲:前述服務 提供伺服器係具有:利用資訊發送部(30a ),係從允許 前述存取之使用者終端取得利用資訊要求時,使該利用資 訊包含用以表示利用資訊已從前述服務提供伺服器發送之 發送來源資訊及前述利用資訊被發送之發送時刻資訊,並 發送至前述使用者終端;前述擴張提供系統係在1台伺服 器或分散於複數伺服器,具備:利用確認部(80a、313a -6- 201011556 ),係從前述使用者終端取得前述利用資訊,藉由前述發 送來源資訊,確認前述利用資訊的發送來源是前述服務提 供伺服器,且依據前述發送時刻資訊,進行用以確認對於 前述使用者終端,前述存取被允許的利用確認處理;及擴 . 張服務提供部(50b、313b ),係在前述利用確認處理之 確認被進行時,對於前述使用者終端,開始前述擴張服務 •r 相關之資訊的提供;前述使用者終端係具有:利用資訊要 φ 求部(20a),係於前述存取被允許之狀態中,有藉由前 述使用者之前述擴張服務的要求操作時,將要求前述利用 資訊之利用資訊要求,發送至前述服務提供伺服器;利用 資訊傳送部(20b ),係從前述服務提供伺服器取得前述 利用資訊時,將該利用資訊傳送至具備前述擴張提供系統 之前述利用確認部的伺服器;及擴張服務對應部(20f) ,係以前述輸出部進行因應從前述擴張提供系統提供之前 述擴張服務相關之資訊的輸出。藉此解決前述課題。 φ 依據本發明的服務擴張系統,使使用者終端的利用資 * 訊要求部,從對於被認證之使用者允許存取之服務提供伺 - 服器,取得包含發送來源資訊及發送時刻資訊的利用資訊 ,進而將取得之利用資訊發送至具有擴張提供系統之利用 確認部的伺服器。在利用確認部,依據包含於利用資訊的 發送來源資訊及發送時刻資訊,判斷使用者終端的使用者 是否被允許對服務提供伺服器進行存取。藉由利用資訊的 發送時刻資訊,特定利用資訊被發送之發送時刻,例如, 如該發送時刻與現在時刻的差越小,則現在也可當作使用 201011556 者終端被允許存取。又’利用確認部係從使用者終端取得 利用資訊,故藉由發送來源資訊可確認利用資訊已從服務 提供伺服器發送。然後,確認該存取被允許時,藉由擴張 存取提供部,擴張服務相關之資訊被提供給使用者終端。 所謂被允許對服務提供伺服器進行存取之使用者終端 ,亦即,利用服務提供伺服器的使用者終端,藉由本發明 ,可對利用服務提供伺服器的使用者’提供擴張服務。所 以,使用者係僅接受既存的服務提供伺服器之認證,則提 供擴張服務,故可展現如同藉由既存的服務提供伺服器提 供之服務種類的幅度增大。又,利用確認部係可藉由發送 來源資訊,確認從使用者終端取得之利用資訊的發送來源 。進而,利用確認部係以不是從服務提供伺服器,而是可 經由使用者終端取得利用資訊之方式構成,故服務提供伺

Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a service expansion system that provides a more advanced expansion service and a connection server included in the system, which is provided with a service providing server that provides a predetermined service. [Prior Art] As for the Social Network System (hereinafter referred to as "SNS"), it is known that the authentication information is used to authenticate the user who requests access, and only the user who is authenticated is allowed to access. For example, as a information exchange between users, a service providing system such as a predetermined service of a community service is provided (for example, Patent Document 1). [Patent Document 1] Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2001-229282 [Summary of the Invention] [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Here, for the authenticated user, in addition to the services provided by the existing service providing system, In addition, when a new service is added, the service providing system manages all additional systems for providing additional services. However, in such a configuration, the service providing system will cause a large correction of the existing program and an operation management of the additional system. In particular, when there is a large amount of information and types of additional services, a large amount of additional information is required. The cost and labor of the service. As a result, when a large burden is placed on the service providing system, for example, when a company other than the operating company of the existing service providing system provides the additional service, it is difficult to popularize the additional service. As a result, the type of service of the existing service delivery system is fixed, and its expansion and expansion. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a service expansion system and a connection server that can not expand the existing service providing system and expand the range of types of services provided by the existing service providing system to the user. [Means for Solving the Problem] The present invention solves the above problems by means of the means described below. In addition, in order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the reference numerals attached to the drawings are attached with parentheses, but the present invention is not limited to the form of the drawings. The service expansion system (1, factory, 300) of the present invention includes a user terminal (2), an operation input unit (23) that receives an operation of a user, and an output unit (22) that outputs predetermined information; Providing a server (3) for performing an authentication process of a user operating the user terminal, allowing a user terminal of a user authenticated by the authentication process to access, and in response to the request of the user terminal, Providing the specified service; and the expansion providing system (4), providing an expansion service for the user of the user terminal to which the access is permitted; wherein the service providing server has: using the information transmitting unit (30a) When obtaining the use information request from the user terminal that allows the access, the use information includes the transmission time information indicating that the use information has been transmitted from the service providing server and the transmission time information transmitted by the use information, And sent to the user terminal; the expansion providing system is connected to one server or distributed to a plurality of servers, and has: The department (80a, 313a -6-201011556) obtains the use information from the user terminal, and confirms that the source of the use information is the service providing server by the source information, and according to the sending time information, Performing a confirmation process for confirming that the access is permitted for the user terminal; and expanding. The service providing unit (50b, 313b) starts the provision of the information related to the expansion service •r for the user terminal when the confirmation of the use confirmation process is performed; the user terminal has: The φ requesting unit (20a), in the state in which the access is permitted, is requested to be transmitted by the user's request for the expansion service, and the use information request request information is transmitted to the service providing server. When the information transmission unit (20b) obtains the use information from the service providing server, the use information is transmitted to the server including the use confirmation unit of the expansion providing system; and the expansion service corresponding unit (20f) The output of the information related to the expansion service provided by the expansion providing system is performed by the output unit. This solves the aforementioned problems. φ According to the service expansion system of the present invention, the user terminal requesting unit of the user terminal provides a server from the service permitted for access by the authenticated user, and obtains the use of the source information and the transmission time information. The information is transmitted to the server having the use confirmation unit of the expansion providing system. The use confirmation unit determines whether the user of the user terminal is allowed to access the service providing server based on the transmission source information and the transmission time information included in the utilization information. By using the transmission time information of the information, the transmission time at which the specific utilization information is transmitted, for example, if the difference between the transmission time and the current time is smaller, it is now allowed to be accessed as the terminal using 201011556. Further, the use confirmation unit acquires the use information from the user terminal, so that the use source information can confirm that the use information has been transmitted from the service providing server. Then, when it is confirmed that the access is permitted, the information related to the expansion service is provided to the user terminal by expanding the access providing unit. The user terminal that is allowed to access the service providing server, that is, the user terminal using the service providing server, can provide an expansion service to the user who uses the service providing server by the present invention. Therefore, the user provides the expansion service only by accepting the authentication of the existing service providing server, so that the magnitude of the service provided by the server provided by the existing service can be increased. Further, the use confirmation unit can confirm the source of the use information obtained from the user terminal by transmitting the source information. Further, since the use confirmation unit is configured not to obtain the use information from the service provider but to obtain the use information via the user terminal, the service providing server can allow the user terminal to access by the normal order. In response to the request from the user terminal, only the usage information including the transmission time and the source information may be transmitted. Therefore, it does not burden the existing service delivery system and expands the range of services provided by the existing service delivery system to the user. The transmission time information includes the status of the transmission time itself, the status of the symbol and the character of the transmission time, or the status of the time zone to which the transmission time belongs. The transmission time information is a situation of the time zone. For example, the confirmation unit judges whether or not the current access is permitted by comparing the time zone to which the current time belongs and the time zone to which the transmission time information belongs. The transmission time is specified by a previously known timing means that the service providing server has or can access. -8 - 201011556 Furthermore, the information communication method used by the service provider server is sent to the information. This information can also be used when the transmission time is included. In order to avoid the forgery of the user terminal, the source information is encrypted by a previously known method. The output from the "output unit" of the "user terminal" includes visual output and audible output. The "requirement operation of the expansion service" is an operation performed by the user terminal that allows access to the service providing server.

Next, in the user terminal 2 activated by the user terminal program 110a, the control unit 20 operates in accordance with the startup program 1 1. First, the information request is transmitted to the server 3 (step S210). Thereby, the control unit 20 functions as the utilization information requesting unit 20a. The SNS server 3 that receives the information request using the information request -27-201011556 transmits the use information to the user terminal 2 by using the information transmitting unit 30a (step S102). The usage information includes user information 107 for operating the user terminal 2, electronic signature information, and transmission time information indicating the time of transmission of the usage information. The SNS server 3 is connected to the user terminal 2, for example, the user information 107 of the specific user can be extracted from the user-related information by the user of the specific user terminal 2. The electronic signature information is used to prove that the utilization information is the sender's information from the SNS server 3. There is no limitation on the manner in which the electronic signature information is used. However, in the case of the public key encryption method, the signature information of the SNS server 3 is encrypted by the public key. The public key is, for example, included in the program request and sent to the SNS server 3. The user terminal 2 who has obtained the use information transmits the use information to the connection server 8 (step S212). Thereby, the control unit 20 functions as the use information transmitting unit 20b. The connection server 8 that receives the use information performs the use confirmation process by the confirmation unit 80 a (step S 5 0 0 ). In the use confirmation process, according to the use information, the user who uses the information, that is, the user who transmits the user terminal 2 using the information, is authenticated by the SNS server 3, that is, whether or not the user is using "MySNS" By using the confirmation process, when it is confirmed that the user of "My SN S " is used, the confirmation result is set to "confirm", and when it is not confirmed that the user of "MySNS" is used, The confirmation result setting "error". The use confirmation process is described later. Next, by using the confirmation result of the confirmation process, it is determined whether or not the user of ''MySNS" is confirmed by -28-201011556 (step S5 02), when the confirmation result is "error", an error message is transmitted to the user terminal 2 (step S504). The user terminal 2 that receives the error message displays an error message, for example, on the monitor (step S214). On the other hand, in the use of confirmation. When the confirmation result is "confirm", the connection server 8 generates an extended user ID 130 corresponding to the user ID included in the user information 107 (step S506). 0 The extended user ID 130 is provided in the expansion. The identification information of the user is used in the system 4. Therefore, it is only necessary to identify the information unique to each user in the expansion providing system 4. In this aspect, in the game provided by the expansion providing system 4, as the identifying user Next, the connection server 8 associates the generated extended user ID 130 with the user ID 101, memorizes it in the user ID storage unit 82a, and records the acquired utilization information 107 in the personal information. The information storage unit 82b (step S5 08). Then, the game authentication information request is transmitted to the game authentication information dispatching_server 9 (step S510). 'The game authentication information dispatching server 9 that obtains the game authentication information request. For this requirement, inherent game authentication information is generated (step S600). The game authentication information is used to prove that the expanded access request described later is from the connection server 8. The information of the sender. Since one expansion access information is generated for one game authentication information request, the game authentication information inherent to each game authentication information request is also inherent information for each expansion access information. The game authentication information is transmitted to the connection server 8 and is memorized in the game authentication information storage unit 92 (step S602). -29- 201011556 The connection server 8 system will include the server from the game authentication information. 9 The acquired game authentication information and the expanded access information of the extended user ID 130 are generated as expansion information (step S512), and the generated expanded access information is transmitted to the user terminal 2 (step S514). The control unit 80 functions as the expansion information generating unit 8 Ob. The user terminal 2 that has obtained the expanded access information starts the processing of the game program unit 112 that follows the user terminal program 11a. The user terminal 2 first transmits the acquired expanded access information to the game server 5 (step S216). Thereby, the control unit 20 serves as a expansion fund. The game server 5 that obtains the expanded access information performs the expansion confirmation process (step S700). In the expansion confirmation process, the game server 5 confirms that the expanded access information obtained is the slave servo. Specifically, the game authentication information dispatching server 9 accesses and confirms whether or not the game authentication information included in the expanded access information exists in the game authentication information storage unit 92. Thereby, the game authentication information is transmitted. The control unit 90 of the dispatch server 9 functions as the game authentication information generating unit 90a, that is, the extended transmission source information generating unit. When the game authentication information exists in the game authentication information storage unit 92, the confirmation result is set "", when it does not exist, set the "error" in the confirmation result. Next, it is determined whether the confirmation result is "confirmation" (step S708), and when the confirmation result is "error", the game server 5 transmits an error message to the user terminal 2 (step S704) When the user terminal 2 that has obtained the error message displays an error message, for example, on the monitor (step S218 -30-201011556, the confirmation result of the expansion confirmation processing is "confirmation", the use of the game servo system and the transmission of the extended access information The terminal 2 establishes a connection and allows access from the user terminal 2 (step S706). Thereafter, the terminal 2 is set as one of the game clients, for example, as a service of the expansion service, the game start screen is transmitted ( Step S708). Thereby, the unit 50 functions as the expansion service providing unit 50b. Further, the φ service providing unit 5 Ob has a previously known game server. For example, from the user terminal as the game client. 2 Accepting the use of operational information, updating the state of the game as a result of the operation of the information, and sending the information related to the information as an expansion service to the user 2. The other party The user who has established the connection with the game server 5 is the game client of the game A, and can communicate with the game server as a previously known game client. For example, the game of the φ game server 5 starts. The screen is displayed on the monitor, and then the user's operation information is sent to the game server 5, and a screen corresponding to the update information of the 'play server 5' is displayed (step S220). The operation as the client is performed by the control unit 20. Further, the game server 5 that is connected to the user terminal 2 transmits a personal information request including the expanded user ID 130 as a search key to the connection server 8 (step S710). Obtaining the abbreviation 102 corresponding to the user ID and the friend information 1〇3, according to the user 5, the user may control the expansion of the function of the new terminal terminal 2, and the self-driving game 20f, the reference expansion Get the information from -31 - 201011556. The abbreviated 102 is for example the name of the virtual user who is the user who appears on the game screen. In addition, it can also be set by means of the friend information 103', for example, in cooperation with the user user. At this time, the game server 2 is set to the friend information 103 by querying the connection server 8. The user id of the user may be obtained by expanding the user ID. On the other hand, the connection server 8' that obtains the personal information reference request from the game server 5 corresponds to the expanded user id that is the key to the search. The user's abbreviation 102 and friend information 103 are sent as information to the game server 5 (step S516). Specifically, by referring to the user ID storage unit 82a, the user ID 101 corresponding to the expanded user ID 130 included in the personal information reference request as the search key is specified, and the search is performed by referring to the personal information storage unit 82b. The user information corresponding to the specific user ID is generated by extracting the abbreviation 102 of the retrieved user information 107 and the friend information 103, and generating the information according to the flowchart of FIG. The process of processing. The use confirmation process is controlled by the use confirmation unit 80a of the connection server 8. The confirmation processing is used to confirm that the user of the user terminal 2 that transmits the usage information is the user authenticated by the SNS server 3 (using the user of "My SNS"). First, in step S800, transmission source confirmation processing is performed. In the transmission source confirmation processing, it is confirmed whether or not the transmission source of the utilization information is the SNS server 3 by the electronic signature information included in the utilization information. For example, in the case of the public key encryption method, 201011556 decodes the encrypted key used by the SNS server 3 and the relative key, and whether the decoded signature information indicates the SNS server 3 confirm. When the decoded signature is indicative of the SNS server 3, at the step. At S802, it is judged that the error is not confirmed, and the process proceeds to step S804. In step S804, a transmission time confirmation process is performed. In the transmission time confirmation processing, it is determined whether or not the user of the user terminal 2 is the user who is currently authenticated by the SNS server 3 based on the transmission time information included in the usage information. In the present embodiment, by transmitting the time information, the transmission time transmitted from the SNS server 3 by the specific use information is calculated, and the time lag between the specific transmission time and the current time is calculated. Then, when the time lag is within the predetermined range, the user of the user terminal 2 is confirmed as the user authenticated by the SNS server 3. When it is confirmed as the authenticated user, if it is determined in step S806 that it is not a confirmation error, the process proceeds to step S808, and the confirmation result is set to "confirmation", and φ ends the use confirmation process. Thus, in this aspect, When the time lag is within the specified range, it is indicated that the user who sent the user terminal 2 using the information as the user has not sent the user terminal 2 to the user terminal 2 for more than the predetermined time. When the SNS server 3 authenticates the user, if the encrypted signature information cannot be decoded, or the decoded signature information does not indicate the SNS server 3, the determination is confirmed in step S802. If the error is made, the process proceeds to step S810, where the result of the confirmation is set to "error", and the use confirmation process is ended. Further, when the aforementioned time lag of the transmission time confirmation process of step S804 exceeds the range of -33-201011556, since Since the user terminal 2 is authenticated by the SNS server 3 and has exceeded the predetermined time, it is not confirmed as the authenticated user. Therefore, it is determined in step S806 that the error is confirmed. The process proceeds to step S810, and the result of the confirmation is set to "error", and the use confirmation process is terminated. The present invention is not limited to the above-described form, and may be executed in various forms. For example, the service providing server 3 is not limited to The SNS server 3 providing the social networking site can be provided as a server that allows the user authenticated according to the specified authentication information to access the user who is allowed to access the service. N is only a closed network that can be accessed by a fixed number of user terminals, or no network N is provided. For example, each structure in the service expansion system 1 can be connected by a dedicated line. When the URL of 110 is fixed, the URL resolution server 7 may not be provided. At this time, in response to the screen request, the URL of the server 6 providing the program for the user terminal program 110 for the purpose of setting is set to be sent instead of the URL request. The program request of the destination is sufficient. One game server 5 can be configured as a server for three games A, B, and C. At this time, users of all games can be used. The terminal program 110 is configured such that the user terminal 2 transmits the extended access information to the same game server 5, and the expanded access information is transmitted in a manner including the game identification information 120 of the selected game. Then, the game server 5 may be configured to perform processing in response to the game identification information 120. The plurality of SNS servers 3' may correspond to one expansion providing system 4. In this case, for example, The community ID for identifying the 201011556 community managed by each SNS server 3 is included in the information utilization method. As the community ID, it is also possible to use the information of the transmission source information of the transmission data included in the general communication method. Then, the connection server 8 associates the user information 1 to 7 with the community ID and memorizes it in the personal information storage unit 82b. The game server 5 acquires the community ID of the specific user from the connection server 8 by the same method as the abbreviation 102, and for example, processes the game among users belonging to the same community. φ Further, the connection server 8 is the same as the expansion user ID, and for each community ID, the expanded community id used in the expansion system 4 is generated, and the community ID storage unit that stores the correspondence is set in the storage unit. 82. When there is only one game provided as an expansion service, the URL resolution server 7 and the program providing server 8 may not be provided. The system configuration diagram of the service expansion system r at this time is shown in FIG. In the service expansion system r, the memory unit 82 of the connection server 8 holds the user terminal program φ, and the game server 5 and the connection server 8 and the game authentication information generation server 9 constitute the expansion providing system 4. In the service expansion system r, when the game is selected on the community start screen SI, the program request is transmitted from the user terminal 2 to the connection server 5, and the screen program of the community start screen SI may be formed. Then, the user terminal 2 starts the program acquired from the connection server 5.

At this time, when the game program of the community start screen SI is selected on the community start screen SI-35-201011556, the user terminal program 110 corresponding to the selected game is immediately activated at the user terminal 2. The method can be constructed. Further, the game authentication information generating unit 90a and the game authentication information storage unit 92 of the game authentication information dispatching server 9 are respectively provided in the control unit 80 and the memory unit 82 of the connection server 8, and the game authentication information is omitted. The dispatch server 9 is also available. At this time, in the expansion confirmation processing of the game server 5, the authentication of the game authentication information acquired from the user terminal 2 is confirmed by accessing the connection server 8. (2) The second form of expansion service is not limited to the other users of the first form and the online game. For example, the service for providing the user with the specified information (including the game played by one user) is also can. An example of a service expansion system 300 as a second aspect of providing such an expansion service is disclosed in FIG. The following mainly describes the differences from the first aspect. In the service expansion system 300 of Fig. 18, the expansion providing system 4 is constructed only by the expansion server 310. The SNS server 3 for the service expansion system 300 serves as a service to provide a community website for students of a specific cooking school, and the expansion server 3 10 is used as an expansion service for users (student) authenticated by the SNS server 3. Provide a description of the status of "Recommended Restaurant Information". As shown in FIG. 19, the hardware structure of the expansion server 310 includes a communication unit 31, a memory unit 3 1 2, and a control unit 31, and holds a user terminal program 1 10' in the memory unit 3 1 2 . And the restaurant information RI, the control unit 313-36-201011556 mainly functions as the use confirmation unit 3 1 3a and the expansion service providing unit 3 1 3b. Restaurant Information RI is a restaurant that provides information about restaurants, prices, locations, and age-based restaurants for a variety of restaurants. The user terminal program 1 1 is used to cause the user terminal 2 to use the information for the SNS servo 3, and the utilization information acquired from the SN server 3 is transmitted to the expansion server 310, and further, the monitor display is expanded. The "recommended restaurant information" of the server 310 is configured such that the control unit 20 of the user terminal 2 functions as the use information request unit 20a, the use information transfer unit 20b, and the expansion service providing unit 20b. The user-related information 1 1 held by the SNS server 3 is composed of, for example, a student ID, a password, an age, and a class to which the user ID belongs, and the user information 107 7 includes the student ID, age, and belonging. The class screen of the community start screen SI displays a selection area Sid for selecting "recommended restaurant information", and when the selection area is selected, the program request is transmitted to the expansion server 310. The process of the process of displaying the "recommended restaurant information" on the monitor by the SNS server 3 is described in the sequence diagram of FIG. The processing is controlled by the control units 20, 30, and 313 of the respective configurations. First, the processing system for displaying the community start screen SI on the user terminal 2 is the same as the first embodiment through the steps S110 and S230. When the start screen SI selects "recommended restaurant information", the user terminal 2 transmits the program request to the expansion server 310 (step S232). The expansion server 310 that acquires the program request downloads the user terminal program 11 (Γ to The user terminal 2 (step S520) - 37 - 201011556 acquires the user terminal program 11 (the user terminal 2 activates it (step S234), and transmits the utilization information request to the SNS server 3 (step S236) Thereby, the control unit 20 of the user terminal 2 functions as the use information request unit 20a. The SNS server 3 that acquires the use information generates and transmits the user information 1〇7~, the transmission time information, and the electronic signature information. The use information (step S112), whereby the control unit 30 of the SNS server 3 functions as the use information transmitting unit 30a. The user terminal 2 that acquires the use information transmits the use information. The expansion server 310 is extended (step S238). Thereby, the control unit 20 of the user terminal 2 functions as the utilization information transmission unit 20b. The expansion server 3 10 that acquires the use information is the same as the first embodiment. The confirmation processing (step S522) is performed, whereby the control unit 3 1 3 of the expansion server 310 functions as the use confirmation unit 3 1 3 a. Next, referring to the confirmation result by the confirmation processing (step S524), When the confirmation result is "error", the expansion server 310 transmits an error message to the user terminal 2 (step S526). Then, the user terminal 2 displays an error message obtained by the monitor (step S240). When the confirmation result is "confirmation", the expansion server 310 generates "recommended restaurant information" as the selection information and transmits it to the user terminal 2 (step S528). Thereby, the control unit 3 1 3 of the expansion server 310 is operated as the expansion service providing unit 313b. The "Recommended Restaurant Information" is generated by, for example, referring to the age and the class of the user who uses the information, and the class and the class to which the information is based on the age and the class and the class of the restaurant. Obtained -38. 201011556 The user terminal 2 of "Recommended Restaurant Information" displays the information on the monitor (step S242). Thereby, the control unit 20 of the user terminal 2 functions as the expansion service corresponding portion 20c. By the above processing, the user who selects "push-recommended restaurant information" in the community start screen SI can provide restaurant information corresponding to the class and age to which the user belongs. Furthermore, when the information provided by the expansion server 310 is specific information, it is not necessary to make the utilization information include the user information 1 07>, and the φ expansion server 310 is for the user terminal 2 that transmits the utilization information, which is specified. The information is transmitted to the user terminal 2 as information related to the expansion service. Further, the complex expansion server 310 is provided, and each expansion server 310 provides the extension information to the user as an expansion service, and the expansion providing system 4 uses the URL resolution server 7, the program providing server 6, and the plural expansion. The server 310 may be configured. The program providing server 6 is a user terminal program 11 for each expansion server 310. (The user terminal program 1 1 is the same as the user terminal of the service expansion system 300. However, the destination of the use information is set to be the expansion server 310 for the selected expansion service. The screen program for the community start screen SI is displayed on the community screen SI. The expansion service selection area Sid, the URL request including the service identification information of the expansion service selected by the user's selection operation is set to be sent to the URL resolution server 7. The subsequent URL resolution server 7 and the program providing server The operation of 6 is the same as that of the first embodiment, and the user terminal program 1 1 corresponding to the service identification information is downloaded from the -39-201011556 program providing server 6 to the user terminal 2. Further, the first embodiment is the same as the first embodiment.
