The second set point accepted by S330, and the new second set point is recorded. The process returns to step S301. Here, the point processing unit 114 may calculate the added second episode from the amount of money included in the received purchase information.

(Step S332) The processing unit 112 acquires the current time by a clock or the like (not shown).

(Step S333) The processing unit 112 substitutes 1 for the counter i.

(Step S334) The processing unit 112 determines whether or not the i-th user exists. When there is an i-th user, the process proceeds to step S335, and when the i-th user does not exist, the process returns to step S301.

(Step S337) The processing unit 112 acquires the time and date information of the jth form of the i-th user. In addition, there are cases where time and date information cannot be obtained.

(Step S338) The processing unit 112 determines whether or not the j-th form of the i-th user satisfies the time-date condition by using the time-and-date information acquired in step S335 and the current time obtained in step S332. When the time and date condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S340, and when the time and date condition is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S339.

(Step S501) The determination unit 113 acquires the current time from a clock or the like (not shown).

(Step S502) The determination unit 113 acquires the history of the input information corresponding to the first ID or the user identifier. In addition, the history of the input information is in pairs Enter a collection of information and time information. In addition, the time is the time when the input of the information is accepted or the time when the input information is input.

(Step S503) The determination unit 113 determines whether or not the predetermined condition is satisfied by using at least one of the current time and the history of the input information. The predetermined condition is a condition for performing processing that satisfies the first condition. When the predetermined condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S504, and if the predetermined condition is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S514.

(Step S504) The processing unit 112 substitutes 1 for the counter i.

(Step S505) The processing unit 112 performs processing close to satisfying the i-th condition. An example of the process close to satisfying the i-th condition is a process of acquiring a parameter value. An example of the processing unit 112 generates a random number of 1 to 100, and acquires a parameter value. Further, an example of the processing unit 112 acquires a value of 1 to 100 using the current time.

(Step S507) The determination unit 113 determines whether or not it is "i!=n". If it is "i!=n", the process proceeds to step S508, and if it is "i=n", the process proceeds to step S511. Furthermore, n is the maximum number of layers (n) of the stratification conditions. Further, "i!=n" indicates that i and n do not coincide.

(Step S508) The processing unit 112 performs processing close to satisfying the (i+1)th condition. An example of the process close to satisfying the (i+1)th condition is the process of generating an item. Further, an example of the processing unit 112 is to randomly select one of the x forms and generate a random one of the selected forms.

(Step S509) The processing unit 112 clears the information of the i-th condition. For example, "n=2", the first condition is "parameter value becomes 100%", and the second condition is "all items in the form can be collected". In this case, for example, if the total of the parameter values and the generated parameter values are 130%, the first condition is satisfied, and therefore, the processing that satisfies the direction of the second condition is generated. project. In addition, The processing unit 112 subtracts (clears) the information on the first condition, that is, "100%" from "130%", and obtains "30%".

(Step S510) The processing unit 112 increments the counter i by one. Go back to step S506.

(Step S511) The set point providing unit 108 obtains a set point corresponding to the first ID or the user identifier. In other words, the set point providing unit 108 generates the first set point to be assigned, and records the generated first set point in association with the first ID or the user identifier, and records it in the first set point storage unit 102. In addition, when there is a first set point corresponding to the first ID or the user identifier, the set point assigning unit 108 adds the generated first set point to the existing first set point, and performs addition operation. The first episode is recorded to the first episode storage unit 102. Further, as an example of the set point providing unit 108, it is preferable to generate a set point corresponding to the form that satisfies the condition. In this case, the collection point is managed in correspondence with the form.

(Step S512) The output unit 116 outputs the result of the assignment of the set point in step S511. The result of the set point is given the latest first set point after the set point. Further, generally, the output here is the transmission to the first terminal device 2. Return to the upper processing.

(Step S513) The output unit 116 outputs the processing result. The result of the processing is the result of the processing in step S505 that is close to satisfying the i-th condition. An example of the processing result is the latest parameter value. Further, generally, the output here is the transmission to the first terminal device 2. Return to the upper processing.

(Step S514) The output unit 116 outputs that the condition is not satisfied. Further, generally, the output here is a transmission to the first terminal device 2. Return to the upper processing.

Next, the operation of the first terminal device 2 will be described. The first accepting unit 21 of the first terminal device 2 receives information or an instruction from the user. The first processing unit 22 performs processing in accordance with information or instructions accepted by the first accepting unit 21. Further, the first transmitting unit 23 transmits the processing result of the first processing unit 22 or the information or instruction received by the first receiving unit 21 to the point processing device 1. An example of the information transmitted by the first transmitting unit 23 is input information, a user identifier, and a first ID, a first ID, and a second ID, A use of information, etc. Further, the first receiving unit 24 receives the information from the point processing device 1. An example of the information received by the first receiving unit 24 is the number of remaining first episodes, the result of the set point giving, the processing result in the point processing device 1, and the like. Further, the first output unit 25 outputs the processing result of the first processing unit 22 and the information accepted by the first receiving unit 24.

Next, the operation of the second terminal device 3 will be described. An example of the second accepting unit 31 of the second terminal device 3 accepts the purchase information of the product or the service, the second ID stored in the IC card, and the like. Further, the second processing unit 32 processes the information received by the second accepting unit 31. For example, the second processing unit 32 calculates the number of episodes (here, the number of episodes of the second episode) given based on the purchase amount accepted by the second accepting unit 31. Next, the second transmitting unit 33 transmits the information received by the second receiving unit 31 or the processing result (for example, the number of points to be provided) in the second processing unit 32 to the point processing device 1. Further, the second reception unit 34 receives, for example, the number of episodes of the second episode where the addition is performed, from the collection processing device 1. Further, the second output unit 35 outputs the information accepted by the second accepting unit 34.

Hereinafter, a specific operation of the point system in the present embodiment will be described. The schematic diagram of the point system is Figure 1.

Currently, the first episode is a temporary episode generated by the user using one application in the first terminal device 2. In addition, the first point cannot be used for the purchase of goods or services. Further, an example of the first terminal device 2 is a smart phone.

In addition, the second set point is a set point generated by the user to purchase goods or services, and is a set point that can be used when purchasing goods or services. Further, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, the first set point is transformed into the second set point. Further, here, when the first set point is converted into the second set point, here, it is assumed that the second set point having the same set point number as the first set point is generated. Further, the second terminal device 3 is provided as a device for holding a card reader of an IC card.

In this case, the user information storage unit 101 of the point processing device 1 holds the user information management table shown in FIG. The user information management table stores one or more records having "ID", "user information", and "history information". "User Information" includes "User ID", "Name", "Level", "User Attribute". "Level" is information indicating the importance of the user, and is used here to make use of friend information, or to make The user attribute value, or one or more pieces of information such as the usage status (for example, the frequency of use, the number of times of use, etc.) of the application are calculated. In other words, an example of the "level" is calculated by adding a function of one or more kinds of information of the number of friends and the degree of influence as a parameter. In addition, an example of "level" may be set to have a higher user attribute value according to a normal level (for example, a user who lives in a port area of Tokyo, and a residence of a user in a port area of Tokyo, a woman. The birthday is the user of today, etc.). Further, an example of the "level" is calculated based on an increase function using parameters such as the usage frequency of the application and the number of uses. In addition, "user attributes" include "gender", "age", "friend information." "Friends information" includes "number of friends" and "degree of influence." In addition, "degree of influence" is the degree of influence on others. The friend information acquisition device (not shown) obtains the "number of friends" and the "degree of influence." An example of the friend information acquisition device is an SNS server (for example, a server of facebook (registered trademark)) (not shown). An example of the acquisition device is to detect two or more purchase information transmitted from the same second terminal device 3 within a critical time period (for example, within 5 minutes) as the purchase information of the user and the purchase information of the friend, according to the detection. The number of times, the degree of influence is obtained, that is, the friend information obtaining device obtains the influence degree in such a manner that the degree of influence or the frequency of shopping with the friend is larger, and the friend information obtaining device regards whether or not it is a friend of the friend, for example, obtains facebook. The information of the friend registered in the server (registered trademark) is determined. In addition, the "history information" has "time" and "input information". Information "is an example of application start instruction input to the information in the application, etc. Further, it is assumed" history information "is cleared daily example. That is, set up a" history information "is stored only parts 1.

Further, "name", "gender", and "age" in the record information of the user information management table are information registered by the user from the first terminal device 2. Further, the "user identifier" is unique information generated by the processing unit 112 of the point processing device 1 after receiving the information for registration from the first terminal device 2. In addition, an example of the "level" is information that is periodically updated, and is information that the processing unit 112 calculates by using one or more types of information of the number of friends and the degree of influence as an increase function of the parameter. Further, "friend information" is information that the processing unit 112 periodically acquires according to the above method.

Further, the first episode storage unit 102 holds the first shown in FIG. Set point management table. The first episode management table holds one or more records having "first ID", "first episode", and "parameter value". Further, here, the record of the first episode management table may have a "user identifier" or the like. Further, here, the "first ID" is the ID of the application installed in the first terminal device 2, and is the only information automatically generated when the application is installed. Further, the "parameter value" is information corresponding to the first condition.

Further, the second set point storage unit 103 holds the second set point management table shown in FIG. The second set point management table stores one or more records having "second ID" and "second set point". Further, here, the record of the second set point management table may have a "user identifier" or the like. Further, here, the second ID is the only information printed on the card.

Further, the group information storage unit 104 holds the group information management table shown in FIG. The group information management table stores one or more records having "first ID" and "second ID". Further, the group information of the "first ID" and the "second ID" is information transmitted from the first terminal device 2 to the point processing device 1. In other words, the first receiving unit 21 of the first terminal device 2 accepts the input of the second ID (ID printed on the card) from the user. Further, the first transmitting unit 23 reads the first ID stored in the first storage unit 20, and transmits the group information having the first ID and the input second ID to the point processing device 1. Further, the receiving unit 107 of the point processing device 1 receives the group information and stores it in the group information storage unit 104.

Further, the stratification condition storage unit 105 stores the stratification conditions. An example of the number of levels in the hierarchy in the hierarchical conditions herein is "2". Further, it is assumed that the first condition is that the parameter value becomes a critical value (here, 100). Further, the second condition is that the collection of one or two or more items of each form is completed. In addition, when the collection of the items of the form is completed, the first episode corresponding to each form is given. Here, it is preferable that the first set point given is different for each form, but may be the same for all forms. In addition, the items here are marked. In addition, when the first episode of each form is different, it is stored in the first episode corresponding to the form.

Further, the process here that satisfies the first condition is a process of generating a parameter value. Further, the process close to satisfying the second condition is the process of generating the item. In addition, when there are multiple forms, the process that satisfies the second condition is determined to be generated. The form of the project and the processing of the project that produced the form.

Further, it is considered that the outline of the processing using the stratification conditions here is the following processing. In other words, when the generation of the parameter value close to the process satisfying the first condition is performed, and the total of the stored parameter value and the generated parameter value is 100 or more, the generation of one item as the process satisfying the second condition is performed. . In addition, the stored parameter value becomes "(stored parameter value + generated parameter value) - 100". Further, after the occurrence of one item, it is determined whether or not the collection of the item of the form is completed, and when the collection of the item is completed, the first point is given to the user. Also, delete the form.

Moreover, when the user activates one application and the user performs a predetermined input (for example, touch), the above-described input information processing is executed.

Further, the result storage unit 106 holds the result management table shown in FIG. The result management table has a "user identifier", a "first ID", and a "form". The Form has a Form ID, a Project ID, and a Collection Mark. The "form ID" is information for identifying a form for collecting items. The "item ID" is information for identifying an item on the corresponding form ID. The "collection mark" is information indicating whether or not the item has been collected. When it is "1", it means that the corresponding item is collected.

In this case, the user is requested to input an activation instruction of the application of the first storage unit 20 of the first terminal device 2. Further, the first accepting unit 21 accepts an activation instruction of the application. Further, the first processing unit 22 starts an application. Further, the first transmitting unit 23 reads the first ID "a0001" and the user identifier "10001" from the first storage unit 20, and transmits the first ID, the user identifier, and the input information indicating that the application is activated. Go to the point processing device 1.

Next, the receiving unit 107 of the point processing device 1 receives the first ID "a0001", the user identifier "10001", and the input information indicating the purpose of launching the application (application). Further, the determination unit 113 acquires the first ID "a0001" and the user identifier "10001" from the accepted input information.

Further, the determination unit 113 or the like performs the following input information processing using the input information. In other words, the determination unit 113 acquires the current time from a clock or the like not shown. Next, the determination unit 113 acquires history information corresponding to the user identifier "10001". However, here, the determination unit 113 cannot obtain the history information. In other words, the determination unit 113 can determine that the first application of the day is activated. In addition, here, the input information includes an operation of the user (for example, a touch screen or the like) in addition to the information indicating that the application is activated.

Further, the determination unit 113 determines that the predetermined initial condition is satisfied by using at least one of the current time and the history of the input information. Here, when the initial application of the day is started, the determination unit 113 determines that the predetermined initial condition is satisfied. Thereby, the motivation for using the application can be improved.

In addition, for example, when there is a specific user attribute value (for example, a user who lives in a port area of Tokyo, a user who is a resident of the Tokyo Metropolitan Area, a female user, a birthday is a user today, etc.), The unit 113 may determine that the predetermined initial condition is satisfied.

Next, the processing unit 112 performs generation of a parameter value as a process close to satisfying the first condition. Here, it is assumed that the processing unit 112 generates the parameter value "38". Further, here, it is preferable that the processing unit 112 generate "100" which is the maximum parameter value when the first application is started. By the above processing, the motivation for using the application can be improved.

Further, the output unit 116 transmits an execution instruction of the predetermined operation to the first terminal device 2 that has transmitted the input information. Further, here, the instruction to execute the predetermined action is an execution instruction of an action prompting the input to the user's application. An example of the execution of the action of urging the input to the application is the execution of the action of the leaf from the top of the screen. Furthermore, it is assumed that the indication contains the generated parameter value "38".

Further, the first receiving unit 24 of the first terminal device 2 accepts an execution instruction of a predetermined operation. Next, the first output unit 25 performs a predetermined action. Here, the action of the leaves from the upper tribe of the screen is executed. Fig. 11 shows an example of an execution screen of the related action. In addition, the leaves are 111.

Next, it is assumed that the user makes a predetermined input in accordance with the execution of the predetermined action. Here, the user touches the fallen leaf (touch screen).

Next, the first receiving unit 21 accepts the touch, and the first processing unit 22 instructs the first output unit 25 to output the parameter value “38” included in the execution instruction of the predetermined operation based on the acceptance of the touch. Further, as shown in FIG. 12, the first output portion 25 The output parameter value is "38". Further, the first transmitting unit 23 transmits information indicating that the predetermined operation has been performed to the point processing device 1. Further, the output parameter value "38" is 121. In addition, the parameter value becomes the "leaf detection index".

Next, the receiving unit 107 of the point processing device 1 receives information indicating that the predetermined action has been performed.

Next, the determination unit 113 reads the parameter value "72" corresponding to the first ID "a0001" from the first set point management table (refer to FIG. 7). Further, the determination unit 113 totals the parameter value "72" and the generated parameter value "38" to obtain "110". In addition, since "110" is a critical value of "100" or more, the determination unit 113 determines that the result of the parameter value generation processing satisfies the first condition.

Next, the determination unit 113 determines "1!=2". In other words, the determination unit 113 determines that there is a second condition as a higher condition.

Next, the processing unit 112 performs a flag generation process as a process close to satisfying the second condition. In other words, the processing unit 112 randomly selects one form (here, "aa2") from one or more forms. Further, next, the processing unit 112 selects one flag (here, "aa22") generated in the flag corresponding to the selected one sheet "aa2". Further, the processing unit 112 writes "1" at the collection flag corresponding to the form "aa2" paired with the first ID "a0001". Here, the processing unit 112 may select an item labeled "NULL" (the item not collected) in the form "aa2" corresponding to the user identifier "10001" or the first identifier "a0001", or may randomly select project.

Next, the processing unit 112 clears the information of the first condition. That is, the processing unit 112 subtracts "100" from the parameter value "110" corresponding to the first ID "a0001" to obtain "10". Further, the processing unit 112 updates the parameter value corresponding to the first ID "a0001" in the first set point management table of Fig. 7 to "10".

Next, the output unit 116 transmits the generated flag to the first terminal device 2. Further, the output unit 116 also transmits the parameter value "10" to the first terminal device 2.

Next, the first receiving unit 24 of the first terminal device 2 accepts the flag and the parameter value "10". Further, the first output portion 25 outputs a flag and a parameter value "10". In addition, Fig. 13 is an example of the output of the mark. In addition, the mark is 131. Further, the mark 131 is a mark corresponding to the 141 area of the form of Fig. 14.

Further, it is assumed that the above-described processing is repeated, and the end of the flag collection of the form "aa2" paired with the first ID "a0001" is ended, for example. In other words, the collection flag of the item ID "aa29" of the form "aa2" paired with the first ID "a0001" is also "1".

In this way, the determination unit 113 determines that the second condition is satisfied, and the set point providing unit 108 gives the first episode "9". In other words, the set point providing unit 108 adds "9" to the attribute value of the first set point paired with the first ID "a0001". Here, the original first episode is "0", so the episode giving unit 108 updates the first episode value of the record having the first ID "a0001" in the first episode management table of FIG. 7 to " 9". In addition, the first point can also be a coupon.

Next, the output unit 116 transmits the first episode "9" to the first terminal device 2.

Next, the first receiving unit 24 of the first terminal device 2 accepts the first episode "9". Further, the first output unit 25 outputs the first set point 151 as shown in FIG.

Next, at the end of the month (December 31, 2013), the determination unit 113 determines that the set point conversion condition is stored in advance.

Further, the set point conversion unit 109 converts the first set point of each user of the seventh figure into the second set point. That is, an example of the set point conversion unit 109 is to read the first set point "9" of the first ID "a0001" from the first set point management table of FIG. Next, the set point conversion unit 109 acquires the second ID "2121 2139 6000 123" corresponding to the first ID "a0001" from the group management table of the ninth figure. Next, the set point conversion unit 109 reads the second set point "12" paired with the second ID "2121 2139 6000 123" from the second set point management table (see Fig. 8). Next, the set point conversion unit 109 adds the first set point "9" and the second set point "12" to obtain the second set point "21". Further, the set point conversion unit 109 writes the second set point "21" as a second set point paired with the second ID "2121 2139 6000 123" of the second set point management table (refer to Fig. 8).

Next, it is assumed that the user identified by the user identifier "10001" purchases a product of 1,500 yen. Further, at this time, the user proposes to use all the accumulated points, and delivers the IC card of the second ID "2121 2139 6000 123" to the clerk.

Next, the store clerk causes the second terminal device 3 to read the IC card. In addition, The store clerk inputs the meaning of the second episode and the purchase information "1500 yen" to the second terminal device 3 in this settlement.

Next, the second receiving unit 31 of the second terminal device 3 accepts the second ID "2121 2139 6000 123" and all the second usage information using the second episode.

Next, the second transmitting unit 33 transmits the second ID "2121 2139 6000 123" and all the second usage information using the second episode to the point processing device 1.

Next, the receiving unit 107 of the point processing device 1 accepts the second ID "2121 2139 6000 123" and all the second usage information using the second episode.

Further, the receiving unit 107 receives the second ID "2121 2139 6000 123" and all the second usage information indicating the use of the second episode from the second terminal device 3.

Set point processing unit 49, set point canceling unit 50, and output unit 51.

The user information storage unit 41 constituting the point processing device 4 can store user information, that is, user information. Typically, the user information has a user identifier for identifying the user. An example of a user identifier is an ID, a name, a phone number, an email address, and the like. An example of the user information includes a user level as a user level, a user attribute of the user, a collection point of the user, usage information indicating the utilization status of the collection point, friend information, and the like. The so-called friend information is information about the user's friends, such as the number of friends, whether it is the influence of others, that is, the influence of others, that is, the degree of influence.

The first episode storage unit 42 can store the first episode. First episode storage Port 42 can also store parameter values.

The stratification condition storage unit 43 can store the stratification conditions. The so-called hierarchical condition is a collection of hierarchical conditions. The stratification conditions are as described above.

The result storage unit 44 can store the action result of the application. Here, as an example of the result storage unit 44, one or more forms can be stored. The form corresponds to the collection of one or more items. An example of a form is information on the master paper of the item to which the object is collected. Forms can be called collection stickers, master paper, and the like. Further, an example of a form has one or two or more item identifiers for identifying an item to be collected. In addition, an example of a form has information about the collected items. The information of the collected items may be a mark indicating collection, or the item itself. In addition, it is preferred that the form has information about the time and date, that is, time and date information. Time and date information is information that indicates the period during which items can be collected in the form. Further, the item may be referred to as an object, such as a mark, a pattern, an object used in a game, or the like.

The receiving unit 45 accepts information, instructions, and the like. An example of information or instructions is input information as information about the input. The input information may be the input itself, or may be information corresponding to the input (for example, information indicating that the application is activated). Preferably, the input information is an activation indication of the application or information indicating activation.

The input device such as information or instructions may be any of a keyboard, a mouse, a touchpad, a menu screen, and the like. The receiving unit 45 can be realized by a device driver of an input device such as a keyboard, a control software for a function screen, or the like.

The processing unit 46 performs processing close to satisfying the first condition based on the input information accepted by the accepting unit 45. Here, the process of satisfying the conditions such as the first condition is a process of increasing the parameter value, a process of acquiring an item, and the like. However, there is no restriction on the condition to satisfy the content of the processing. In addition, an example of the input information is an application startup instruction or information indicating that the application is activated, indicating information of the touch screen, a startup instruction, and information indicating the touch screen.

Here, an example of the first condition is that the parameter value is a value that matches the threshold value or a value that is larger than the threshold value. Further, an example of the second condition is that the collection of one or two or more items is completed. However, it is not limited to the first ~ The condition of the nth.

Further, it is preferable that the processing unit 46 approaches the processing satisfying the first condition in accordance with the content of the input information accepted by the accepting unit 45. An example of the content of the input information is the content input to the application. For example, the processing unit 46 performs different processing when the content of the input information is the input of the activation instruction and the input of the information used in the application. For example, the processing unit 46 performs different processing depending on whether the content of the input information is an activation instruction, a viewing of information, or a deletion of information.

Further, it is preferable that the processing unit 46 acquires the processing that the reception unit 45 receives the input information, and uses the information on the relevant time to perform the processing that satisfies the first condition. For example, the processing unit 46 differs in parameter values that increase according to the time period. For example, the processing unit 46 differs in the parameter value that is added when the input information is received in the morning and when the input information is received in the afternoon. Further, for example, the processing unit 46 differs in the parameter value added when the reception of the first input information on a certain day is accepted and the reception of the second or subsequent input information. Further, for example, the processing of the processing unit 46 differs depending on the first operation of one day. For example, at the first operation of the day, the processing unit 46 assigns a parameter value of 100.

Further, it is preferable that the processing unit 46 performs processing close to satisfying the first condition based on the input information and the user information accepted by the accepting unit 45.

Further, it is preferable that the processing unit 46 performs processing so as to be closer to satisfying the first condition in accordance with the higher level of the user. That is, the first ID or the user identifier paired with the input information accepted by the accepting unit 45 is acquired, and the level paired with the first ID or the user identifier is acquired. Further, the higher the user level is, the processing unit 46 performs processing so as to be closer to satisfying the first condition.

Further, preferably, when the determination unit 47 determines that the first condition is satisfied, the processing unit 46 acquires one item corresponding to the second condition and subtracts the threshold value from the parameter value. In this case, normally, the processing unit 46 acquires a new value from the parameter value minus the critical value. Parameter value.

Further, preferably, when the determination unit 47 determines that the collection of the item is completed, the processing unit 46 preferably performs processing for giving the collection point. Usually, the set point here is the first set point. The processing unit 46 stores the first set point in the first set point storage unit 42.

Further, when the determination unit 47 determines that the time and date indicated by the time and date information is reached, and the second condition is not satisfied, the processing unit 46 performs a process of ending the collection of the item of the form. An example of the process of ending the collection of items is the deletion of the form. An example of the process of ending the collection of the items is the process of not generating the items.

The determination unit 47 determines whether or not the first condition is satisfied, using the processing result in the processing unit 46.

In addition, when the processing unit 46 approaches the process of satisfying one higher condition corresponding to the lower condition, the determination unit 47 may determine whether or not one upper condition is satisfied.

Further, the determination unit 47 may determine whether or not the parameter value acquired by the processing unit 46 satisfies the first condition.

Further, when the processing unit 46 processes one item, the determination unit 47 may determine whether or not the collection of items corresponding to one item is completed.

Further, the determination unit 47 may determine whether or not the time and date indicated by the time and date information is reached on the form having the time and date information, and the second condition is satisfied.

The judgment of whether or not the collection of the item is completed is to maintain a set of item identifiers for ending the collection. The collection of item identifiers can be referred to as forms, collection stickers, master sheets, and the like.

When the determination unit 47 determines that the nth condition is satisfied, the set point providing unit 48 gives the first set point. Here, an example of assigning a set point is that the first set point is recorded in the first set point storage unit 42.

The set point processing unit 49 performs a process of subtracting the first set point of the first set point storage unit 42 based on the first use information.

When the predetermined condition is satisfied, the set point eliminating section 50 eliminates the first set point. The predetermined condition is that the predetermined time is reached or the cancellation instruction or the like is accepted. Set point elimination The example of the division unit 50 eliminates the first episode when the set point is not used when the predetermined time is reached.

The output unit 51 outputs the processing result in the processing unit 46, the determination result in the determination unit 47, the processing result in the processing unit 46, and the determination result in the determination unit 47.

The input device such as information accepted by the accepting unit 45 may be any of a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel, and a menu screen. The receiving unit 45 can be realized by a device driver of an input device such as a keyboard, a control software for a function screen, or the like.

In general, the processing unit 46, the determination unit 47, the set point providing unit 48, the set point processing unit 49, and the set point eliminating unit 50 can be realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like. In general, the processing order of the processing unit 46 and the like can be realized by software, and the software is recorded in a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it can also be implemented by a hardware (dedicated circuit).

The output unit 51 can be considered to include or not include an output device such as a display or a speaker. The output unit 51 can be realized by a driving software of the output device or a driving software and an output device of the output device.

Next, the operation of the point processing device 4 will be described using the flowchart of FIG.

(Step S1701) The accepting unit 45 determines whether or not input information or the like has been accepted. If the input information or the like is accepted, the process proceeds to step S1702, and if the input information or the like is not accepted, the process proceeds to step S1718. In addition, when receiving input information or the like, the processing unit 46 may perform processing based on the received input information or the like. An example of processing based on accepted input information or the like is activation of an application.

(Step S1702) The determination unit 47 acquires the current from a clock or the like (not shown). time. In addition, the processing unit 46 may temporarily store the input information and the like accepted by the accepting unit 45 in the result storage unit 44 in association with the current time.

(Step S1703) The determination unit 47 acquires the history of the input information. In addition, the history of input information is a collection of information that has input information and time in pairs. In addition, the time is the time when the input information is accepted or the time when the input information is input. Further, an example of the history of the input information is stored in the result storage unit 44.

(Step S1704) The determination unit 47 determines whether or not it matches the condition 1 by using one or more pieces of information in the current time or the history of the input information. Further, the determination unit 47 may determine whether or not it matches the condition 1 without using the current time or the history of the input information. For example, the determination unit 47 may generate a random number. When the random number is an even number, it is determined that it matches the condition 1, and when it is an odd number, it is determined that the random number does not match the condition 1. Further, an example of the condition 1 is an initial condition for satisfying the first condition. An example of the condition 1 is a condition for outputting a leaf.

(Step S1705) The processing unit 46 executes predetermined processing performed when the condition 1 is satisfied. An example of a predetermined process is a process of outputting a leaf.

(Step S1706) The determination unit 47 determines whether or not it matches the condition 2. Further, an example of the condition 2 is that the user has made an input, and the user has made a predetermined input or the like. If it matches the condition 2, the process proceeds to step S1707, and if it does not coincide with the condition 2, the process proceeds to step S1717.

(Step S1707) The processing unit 46 substitutes 1 for the counter i.

(Step S1708) The processing unit 46 performs processing close to satisfying the i-th condition. An example of the process close to satisfying the i-th condition is a process of acquiring a parameter value. An example of the processing unit 46 generates a random number of 1 to 100 and acquires a parameter value. Further, an example of the processing unit 46 acquires a value of 1 to 100 using the current time. Further, an example of the process close to satisfying the i-th condition is the process of generating an item. Further, an example of the processing unit 46 selects one of the x forms and generates a random one of the selected forms.

(Step S) The judging unit 47 judges whether or not the result of the processing in step S1708 satisfies the i-th condition. When the i-th condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1710, and if the i-th condition is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S1716.

(Step S1710) The determination unit 47 determines whether or not "i!=n". If it is "i!=n", the process proceeds to step S1711, and if it is "i=n", the process proceeds to step S1714. Furthermore, n is the maximum number of layers (n) of the stratification conditions. Further, "i!=n" indicates that i and n do not coincide.

(Step S1711) The processing unit 46 performs processing close to satisfying the (i+1)th condition. An example of processing that satisfies the condition of the (i+1)th condition is the process of generating an item. Further, as an example of the processing unit 46, one of the x forms is randomly selected, and a random one of the selected forms is generated.

(Step S1712) The processing unit 46 clears the information of the i-th condition. For example, in "n=2", the first condition is "parameter value becomes 100%", and the second condition is "all items in the form can be collected", the new parameter value, the original parameter value and the generated parameter are newly generated. When the total of the values is 130%, the first condition is satisfied, and thus one line of processing that satisfies the direction of the second condition is generated. Further, the processing unit 46 subtracts (clears) the information "100%" for the first condition from "130%", and obtains "30%".

(Step S1713) The processing unit 46 increments the counter i by one. Return to step S.

(Step S1714) The set point providing unit 48 gives the first set point. In other words, the set point providing unit 108 generates the first set point to be added, and stores the generated first set point in the first set point storage unit 42. Further, when the first episode storage unit 42 has the first episode, the episode providing unit 48 adds the generated episode number to the episode of the first episode storage unit 42. Further, it is preferable that an example of the set point providing unit 108 adds the number of sets corresponding to the form corresponding to the second condition.

(Step S1715) The output unit 116 outputs the result of the assignment of the first episode in step S1714. The output unit 116 may output the number of episodes (the number of episodes generated) to which the addition has been performed, or may output the number of episodes of the result of the addition.

(Step S1716) The output unit 116 outputs the processing result. The result of the processing is the result of the processing in step S1708 that is close to satisfying the i-th condition. The process returns to step S1701.

(Step S1717) The determination unit 47 determines whether or not it has timed out. If it is timed out, Then, the process returns to step S1701, and if it is not timeout, the process returns to step S1706.

(Step S1718) The accepting unit 45 determines whether or not the first use information is accepted. If the first usage information is accepted, the process proceeds to step S1719, and if the first usage information is not received, the process proceeds to step S1720. In addition, the first usage information is information indicating the first episode, and usually has the number of episodes used.

(Step S1719) The settlement processing unit 114 acquires the number of episodes indicated by the first usage information accepted in step S1718. Further, a process of subtracting the acquired number of points from the first set point of the first set point storage unit 42 is performed. Further, the output unit 51 outputs the result set number of points.

(Step S1720) The determination unit 113 determines whether or not it coincides with the set point deletion condition stored in advance. If it coincides with the set point deletion condition, the process proceeds to step S1721. If the set point change condition does not match, the process returns to step S1701. In addition, an example of the set point deletion condition is 24 o'clock at the end of the month.

(Step S1721) The set point eliminating unit 50 deletes the first set point (set to "0") of the first set point storage unit 42. The process returns to step S1701.

Further, in the flowchart of Fig. 17, the processing ends by the insertion of the power supply or the end of the processing.

Next, a specific operation of the point processing device 4 in the present embodiment will be described.

In the figure, the user information storage unit 41 stores "user identifier: 10001; name: TK; level: 4; gender: male; age: 38; number of friends: 128; degree of influence: 5, etc.".

Further, it is assumed that the first episode storage unit 42 stores the first episode "0" and the parameter value "72".

Further, the stratification condition storage unit 43 stores the stratification conditions. An example of the number of levels in the hierarchy in the hierarchical conditions herein is "2". Further, it is assumed that the first condition is that the parameter value becomes a critical value (here, 100). Further, the second condition is that the collection of items of one or more forms is completed. In addition, when the item collection of the form is completed, the first set point corresponding to each form is given. Here, it is preferable that the first set point given is different for each form, but all the forms may be the same. In addition, set the item here The target is marked. In addition, when the first set point is different for each form, the first set point is stored corresponding to the form.

Further, the process here that satisfies the first condition is a process of generating a parameter value. Further, the process close to satisfying the second condition is the process of generating the item. Further, when there are a plurality of forms, the process of satisfying the second condition is a process of determining a form for generating an item and generating an item of the form.

Further, the outline of the processing using the stratification conditions here is the following processing. In other words, the generation of the parameter value close to the process satisfying the first condition is performed, and when the total of the stored parameter value and the generated parameter value is 100 or more, one item that is close to the process satisfying the second condition is performed. produce. Further, the stored parameter value becomes "(stored parameter value + generated parameter value) - 100". Further, after one item is generated, it is judged whether or not the collection of the item of the form is completed, and when the collection of the item is completed, the second point is given to the user. Also, delete the form.

Further, when the user activates one application, the above processing is started.

Further, the result storage unit 44 stores information of the "form" corresponding to "user identifier=10001" in Fig. 10 . Further, the user information storage unit 41 stores a history (not shown) of the input information.

In this case, it is assumed that the user outputs an activation instruction of the application of the collection processing device 4. Further, an application (program) is stored in a recording medium (not shown) of the collection processing device 4. Further, the accepting unit 45 accepts an activation instruction of the application. Further, the processing unit 46 starts the application.

Next, the determination unit 47 acquires the current time from a clock or the like (not shown). Further, the determination unit 47 acquires the history of the input information from the user information storage unit 41.

Next, the determination unit 47 determines whether or not it matches the condition 1 by using one or more types of information in the current time or the history of the input information. Here, it is assumed that the determination unit 47 determines that it matches the condition 1.

Next, the processing unit 46 performs predetermined processing. Here, an example of a predetermined process is a process of outputting a leaf. In addition, for example, as shown in Figure 11 The screen is output to the collection processing device 4.

Next, the user touches the screen (touch screen) of the collection processing device 4. Further, the accepting unit 45 accepts the user's touch. Further, the determination unit 47 determines that it matches the condition 2. Further, here, an example of the condition 2 is that the touch is accepted for the output of the leaf.

Next, the processing unit 46 performs processing close to satisfying the first condition. The processing that satisfies the first condition is approached, and here is the process of obtaining the parameter value. The processing unit 46 here obtains the parameter value "38".

Next, as shown in Fig. 12, the output unit 51 outputs the parameter value "38".

Next, the processing unit 46 writes the parameter value "38" to the first set point storage unit 42. In other words, the processing unit 46 reads the current parameter value "72" of the first set point storage unit 42, and totals the parameter value "72" and the acquired parameter value "38" to obtain "110".

In addition, since "110" is a critical value of "100" or more, the determination unit 47 determines that the result of the parameter value generation processing satisfies the first condition.

Next, the determination unit 47 determines "1!=2". In other words, the determination unit 47 determines that there is a second condition as a higher condition.

Next, the processing unit 46 performs generation processing of a flag which is close to the processing satisfying the second condition. In other words, the processing unit 46 selects one form (here, "aa2") randomly from one or more forms stored in the result storage unit 44. Further, the processing unit 46 selects one of the generated flags (here, "aa22") from among the marks corresponding to the selected one sheet "aa2". Further, the processing unit 46 writes "1" to the collection flag of the item ID "aa22" corresponding to the form "aa2". Here, the processing unit 46 may select to collect the items marked as NULL (the items not collected) in the form "aa22", or may select the items randomly.

Next, the processing unit 46 clears the information of the first condition. That is, the processing unit 46 subtracts "100" from the parameter value "110" to obtain "10". Further, the processing unit 46 updates the parameter value of the first set point storage unit 42 to "10".

Further, the mark 131 becomes the area corresponding to the area of the form 141 of the 14th figure. mark. The form in Figure 14 is a form of "aa2".

Further, it is assumed that the above processing is repeated as follows: for example, the collection of the mark of the form "aa2" is completed. That is, the collection flag of the item ID "aa29" of the form "aa2" is also set to "1".

In this way, it is determined that the determination unit 47 satisfies the second condition, and the set point providing unit 48 gives the first episode "9". In other words, the set point providing unit 48 adds "9" to the attribute value of the first set point of the first set point storage unit 42. Here, since the original first episode is "0", the episode providing unit 48 updates the value of the first episode of the first episode storage unit 42 to "9".

Next, the output unit 51 outputs a new first set point "9". The output example is the first set point 151 of Fig. 15.

Next, the user inputs the first usage information of the number of collection points "5" to the collection processing device 4. Further, an example of the first usage information is used to enhance a game as an application.

Further, the receiving unit 45 accepts the first usage information including the number of collection points "5". Further, the point processing unit 114 acquires the number of episodes "5" indicated by the received first usage information. Further, the episode processing unit 114 performs a process of subtracting the acquired number of episodes "5" from the first episode "9" of the first episode storage unit 42, and obtains the episode number "4". Next, the episode processing unit 114 records the first episode "4" in the first episode storage unit 42.

Next, at the end of the month (December 31, 2013), the determination unit 47 determines that it matches the set point deletion condition stored in advance. Further, the cluster elimination unit 50 deletes the first episode "4" of the first episode storage unit 42 and sets it to "0". That is, the set point eliminating unit 50 records the first set point "0" of the first set point storage unit 42.
