＜第１実施形態＞
＜１．サービス提供システムの構成＞
　図１は、本発明の実施形態に係るサービス提供システム１００のブロック図である。このサービス提供システム１００は、インターネットなどの通信網ＮＥＴ、ゴルフに関する情報サービスやコミュニティサービス等（以下、単に「ゴルフ情報サービス」と称する。）を提供する管理サーバ１（管理装置）、利用者の端末装置２、ＳＮＳサイトを提供する外部管理サーバ３（外部管理装置）を備える。以下の説明では、管理サーバ１の提供するゴルフ情報サービス（第１サービス）を利用する者をゴルフ利用者（第１サービス利用者）、外部管理サーバ３の提供するＳＮＳ（第２サービス）の利用者をＳＮＳ利用者（第２サービス利用者）と称する。
　外部管理サーバ３が提供するＳＮＳサイトは、利用者同士のコミュニケーションツール（即ち、利用者の間で行われるメッセージ管理情報の授受システム。例えば、掲示板、メール、チャット等）を提供する。また、ＳＮＳサイトにおいて、友達関係は、アクション元（source of action, action source）のＳＮＳ利用者が友達申請（friendship request）を行い、これをアクション先(target of
action, action target)のＳＮＳ利用者が承認することによって構築される。外部管理サーバ３は、ＳＮＳ利用者同士の特定の関係であるＳＮＳ友達関係を示すＳＮＳ友達情報（特定関係情報，第２特定関係情報）を管理する。 Hereinafter, as an embodiment, a service providing system using a management server according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
<First Embodiment>
<1. Configuration of service provision system>
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a service providing system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. This service providing system 100 includes a communication network NET such as the Internet, a management server 1 (management device) that provides information services and community services related to golf (hereinafter simply referred to as “golf information service”), and a user terminal. The apparatus 2 includes an external management server 3 (external management apparatus) that provides an SNS site. In the following description, a golf user (first service user) is a person who uses the golf information service (first service) provided by the management server 1, and an SNS (second service) provided by the external management server 3 is used. A person is called an SNS user (second service user).
The SNS site provided by the external management server 3 provides a communication tool between users (that is, a message management information exchange system performed between users. For example, a bulletin board, mail, chat, etc.). In addition, on the SNS site, the friendship relationship is determined by the SNS user of the action source (source of action, action source) making a friendship request (friendship request).
action, action target) is approved and approved by the SNS user. The external management server 3 manages the SNS friend information (specific relationship information, 2nd specific relationship information) which shows the SNS friend relationship which is a specific relationship between SNS users.
　利用者の端末装置２は、通信網ＮＥＴを介した通信が可能であり、例えば、パーソナルコンピュータ、携帯電話機、スマートフォン、タブレット端末などが該当する。
　管理サーバ１は、特定のサービスを提供する。本実施形態の管理サーバ１は、ゴルフ情報サービスをゴルフ利用者に提供する。ここでは、本実施形態では、ゴルフ情報サービスの提供を一例と説明するが、管理サーバ１は、ゲームなどのアプリケーションの提供、ホテルの予約などを含む旅行情報の提供、コンサート情報の提供、物品の販売等の各種サービスを提供するものであってもよい。 The user terminal device 2 can communicate via the communication network NET, and corresponds to, for example, a personal computer, a mobile phone, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or the like.
The management server 1 provides a specific service. The management server 1 of this embodiment provides a golf information service to a golf user. Here, in this embodiment, the provision of golf information service will be described as an example. However, the management server 1 provides applications such as games, provides travel information including hotel reservations, provides concert information, Various services such as sales may be provided.
　ゴルフ利用者は、図２に示すようにＳＮＳ利用者に含まれる。換言すれば、管理サーバ１は、ゴルフ利用者にゴルフ情報サービス（第１サービス）を提供し、外部管理サーバ３のＳＮＳ利用者に限って、管理サーバ１のゴルフ利用者として登録する。一方、外部管理サーバ３は、ゴルフ利用者を含むＳＮＳ利用者に対してＳＮＳ（第２サービス）を提供する。つまり、ゴルフ利用者は常にＳＮＳ利用者であるが、ＳＮＳ利用者の中にはゴルフ利用者でない者もいる。言い換えれば、ゴルフ利用者の集合はＳＮＳ利用者の集合に含まれる。このため、第１実施形態の管理サーバ１は、ゴルフ利用者の友達関係をＳＮＳ利用者の友達関係を用いて管理する。 Golf users are included in SNS users as shown in FIG. In other words, the management server 1 provides the golf user with the golf information service (first service) and registers as a golf user of the management server 1 only for the SNS user of the external management server 3. On the other hand, the external management server 3 provides SNS (2nd service) with respect to the SNS user containing a golf user. In other words, golf users are always SNS users, but some SNS users are not golf users. In other words, the set of golf users is included in the set of SNS users. For this reason, the management server 1 of 1st Embodiment manages a golf user's friend relationship using a SNS user's friend relationship.
　即ち、所定のゴルフ利用者（所定の利用者）とＳＮＳ上の友達関係にある者を「直接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕｆ１」と称する。また、直接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕｆ１とＳＮＳ上で友達関係にある者を「間接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕｆ２」と称する。ただし間接ＳＮＳ友達には、所定のゴルフ利用者及び所定のゴルフ利用者の直接ＳＮＳ友達に該当する者は含まないものとする。
　また、直接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf1であってゴルフ利用者である者を「直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1（第１の特定利用者）」と称し、間接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf2であってゴルフ利用者である者を「間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2（第２の特定利用者）」と称する。 That is, a person who has a friendship on a SNS with a predetermined golf user (predetermined user) is referred to as “direct SNS friend Uf1”. Moreover, the person who has a direct friend relationship with SNS friend Uf1 and SNS is called "indirect SNS friend Uf2." However, the indirect SNS friend does not include a person who corresponds to the predetermined golf user and the direct SNS friend of the predetermined golf user.
Further, a person who is a direct SNS friend Uf1 and is a golf user is referred to as “direct golf friend Ug1 (first specific user)”, and a person who is an indirect SNS friend Uf2 and is a golf user is referred to as “indirect golf”. This is referred to as “friend Ug2 (second specific user)”.
　そして図２に示すように、管理サーバ１は直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1及び間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2を管理する。なお、この場合において、「管理する」とは、ＳＮＳ利用者に関するＳＮＳ利用者情報、ゴルフ利用者に関するゴルフ利用者情報、ＳＮＳ利用者の友達関係を示すＳＮＳ友達情報その他のゴルフ利用者の友達関係を管理するために必要な情報のすべてを、自己の記憶部に保持していることを要せず、代わりに外部の管理サーバ装置等の装置に記憶させておき、当該装置と通信して上記情報を要求（参照）することによりゴルフ利用者の友達関係を把握（特定）可能であることを意味する。後に詳述するが、本実施形態では、管理サーバ１は、ゴルフ利用者情報テーブルＴＢＬ１１を記憶しており、外部管理サーバ３が記憶するＳＮＳ利用者情報テーブルＴＢＬ３１及びＳＮＳ友達情報テーブルＴＢＬ３２を参照することにより、直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1及び間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2を特定する。 Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the management server 1 directly manages the golf chum Ug1 and the indirect golf chum Ug2. In this case, “manage” means SNS user information regarding SNS users, golf user information regarding golf users, SNS friend information indicating friendships of SNS users, and other golf user friendships. It is not necessary to store all of the information necessary for managing the device in its own storage unit. Instead, the information is stored in a device such as an external management server device, and communicated with the device. It means that it is possible to grasp (specify) a golf user's friendship by requesting (referring to) information. As will be described in detail later, in the present embodiment, the management server 1 stores the golf user information table TBL11, and refers to the SNS user information table TBL31 and the SNS friend information table TBL32 stored in the external management server 3. Thus, the direct golf chum Ug1 and the indirect golf chum Ug2 are specified.
　図１を参照して、管理サーバ１の機能を説明する。管理サーバ１は、ゴルフ利用者情報テーブルＴＢＬ１１を記憶した記憶部１５を備える。また、記憶部１５には、管理サーバ１を制御するプログラムが記憶されている。ゴルフ利用者情報テーブルＴＢＬ１１には、ゴルフ利用者を一意に識別する識別情報ＵＩＤなどが格納されている。管理サーバ１は、所定の利用者（所定の第１サービス利用者）の端末装置２から当該所定の利用者の友達関係（特定の関係）を表示する要求を受信すると、所定の利用者の識別情報ＵＩＤを取得する取得部１１と、取得部１１で取得した識別情報ＵＩＤに基づいて、外部管理サーバ３で管理するＳＮＳ友達情報を参照する参照部１２と、記憶部１５に記憶されているゴルフ利用者の識別情報ＵＩＤ及びＳＮＳ友達情報に基づいて直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1及び間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2を特定する特定部１３と、特定部１３で特定した直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1及び間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2の関連性を示す関係図（フレンドマップ）を所定の利用者の端末装置２のディスプレイ２５に表示させる表示制御部１４とを備える。具体的には、表示制御部１４は、上記関係図を表示するために必要な情報を含む応答を所定の利用者の端末装置２に送信する。 The function of the management server 1 will be described with reference to FIG. The management server 1 includes a storage unit 15 that stores a golf user information table TBL11. The storage unit 15 stores a program for controlling the management server 1. The golf user information table TBL11 stores identification information UID that uniquely identifies a golf user. When the management server 1 receives a request for displaying a friend relationship (specific relationship) of the predetermined user from the terminal device 2 of the predetermined user (predetermined first service user), the management server 1 identifies the predetermined user. The acquisition unit 11 that acquires the information UID, the reference unit 12 that refers to the SNS friend information managed by the external management server 3 based on the identification information UID acquired by the acquisition unit 11, and the golf stored in the storage unit 15 Based on the user identification information UID and SNS friend information, the specifying unit 13 that specifies the direct golf chum Ug1 and the indirect golf chum Ug2 and the direct golf chum Ug1 and the indirect golf chum Ug2 specified by the specifying unit 13 are shown. And a display control unit 14 that displays a relationship diagram (friend map) on the display 25 of the terminal device 2 of a predetermined user. Specifically, the display control unit 14 transmits a response including information necessary for displaying the relationship diagram to the terminal device 2 of a predetermined user.
　図４にゴルフ利用者情報テーブルＴＢＬ１１のデータ構造を示す。ゴルフ利用者情報テーブルＴＢＬ１１には複数のレコードが記録されている。１つのレコードは、ゴルフ利用者を一意に識別する識別情報ＵＩＤ、登録日、プロフィール情報、及びラウンド履歴情報を含む。本実施形態では、ゴルフ利用者の識別情報ＵＩＤは、ＳＮＳ利用者の識別情報ＵＩＤと一致する。但し、ＳＮＳ利用者の識別情報とゴルフ利用者の識別情報とは必ずしも一致する必要はなく、相違していてもよい。この場合は、ゴルフ利用者情報テーブルＴＢＬ１１のレコードにＳＮＳ利用者の識別情報とゴルフ利用者の識別情報とを対応づけて記録すればよい。 FIG. 4 shows the data structure of the golf user information table TBL11. A plurality of records are recorded in the golf user information table TBL11. One record includes identification information UID that uniquely identifies a golf user, registration date, profile information, and round history information. In the present embodiment, the golf user's identification information UID matches the SNS user's identification information UID. However, the identification information of the SNS user and the identification information of the golf user do not necessarily need to match, and may be different. In this case, the SNS user identification information and the golf user identification information may be recorded in association with the record of the golf user information table TBL11.
　プロフィール情報は、性別、年齢、及びメールアドレスを含む。また、ラウンド履歴情報は、プレイしたゴルフ場名、スコア、及びラウンド日を含む。レコードに、その他の情報を記録してもよい。また、ゴルフ利用者情報テーブルＴＢＬ１１に記憶すべき情報として、ゴルフ利用者の識別情報ＵＩＤは必須であるが、その他の情報は省略してもよい。さらに、ゴルフ利用者情報テーブルＴＢＬ１１をキーとなる情報（例えば、識別情報ＵＩＤ）で紐づけた複数のテーブルで構成し、リレーショナルデータベースとしてもよい。 Profile information includes gender, age, and email address. The round history information includes the name of the golf course played, the score, and the round date. Other information may be recorded in the record. Moreover, although the golf user identification information UID is essential as information to be stored in the golf user information table TBL11, other information may be omitted. Further, the golf user information table TBL11 may be composed of a plurality of tables linked with key information (for example, identification information UID), and may be a relational database.
　説明を図１に戻す。外部管理サーバ３は、ＳＮＳ利用者を一意に識別する識別情報、ＳＮＳ利用者の氏名、及びプロフィール画像のリンク先を示すリンク情報などが格納されたＳＮＳ利用者情報テーブルＴＢＬ３１と、ＳＮＳ利用者の友達関係を示すＳＮＳ友達情報（特定関係情報，第２特定関係情報）が格納されたＳＮＳ友達情報テーブルＴＢＬ３２を備える。さらに、外部管理サーバ３は、各種のＡＰＩ（Application Program Interface）を実行可能であり、管理サーバ１からのパラメータを含む要求を受信すると、ＳＮＳ利用者情報テーブルＴＢＬ３１又はＳＮＳ友達情報テーブルＴＢＬ３２から所定の情報を抽出して管理サーバ１に返信するようになっている。 Return the explanation to FIG. The external management server 3 includes an SNS user information table TBL31 in which identification information for uniquely identifying the SNS user, the name of the SNS user, link information indicating the link destination of the profile image, and the like are stored. An SNS friend information table TBL32 storing SNS friend information (specific relationship information, second specific relationship information) indicating friendship is provided. Furthermore, the external management server 3 can execute various APIs (Application Program Interface), and upon receiving a request including a parameter from the management server 1, the external management server 3 performs a predetermined process from the SNS user information table TBL 31 or the SNS friend information table TBL 32. Information is extracted and sent back to the management server 1.
　管理サーバ１は、各ゴルフ利用者に対してマイページを提供する。マイページには、各種のゴルフに関する情報が集約されて表示される。図３にマイページの一例を示す。同図に示すように領域Ｘには、所定の利用者（本人）のプロフィール画像が表示され、領域Ｙ１には、所定の利用者の直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1のプロフィール画像が表示され、さらに、領域Ｙ２には、間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2のプロフィール画像が表示される。このように、直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1と間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2とが、異なる領域Ｙ１及びＹ２に表示されるので、所定の利用者は、階層的な友達関係を容易に把握することが可能となる。 Management server 1 provides a My Page to each golf user. Information about various types of golf is collected and displayed on the My Page. FIG. 3 shows an example of My Page. As shown in the figure, a profile image of a predetermined user (person) is displayed in the area X, a profile image of the direct golf chum Ug1 of the predetermined user is displayed in the area Y1, and further, the area Y2 The profile image of the indirect golf chum Ug2 is displayed. Thus, since the direct golf chum Ug1 and the indirect golf chum Ug2 are displayed in different areas Y1 and Y2, the predetermined user can easily grasp the hierarchical friendship.
　次に、外部管理サーバ３が備えるＳＮＳ利用者情報テーブルＴＢＬ３１とＳＮＳ友達情報テーブルＴＢＬ３２について説明する。図５にＳＮＳ利用者情報テーブルＴＢＬ３１のデータ構造を示す。ＳＮＳ利用者情報テーブルＴＢＬ３１には複数のレコードが記録されている。１つのレコードは、氏名、性別、住所、勤務先、ＳＮＳ利用者を一意に識別する識別情報ＵＩＤ（アカウントとして機能する）、及びメールアドレスを含む。これらの情報は、ＳＮＳ利用者が登録した個人情報である。 Next, the SNS user information table TBL31 and the SNS friend information table TBL32 provided in the external management server 3 will be described. FIG. 5 shows the data structure of the SNS user information table TBL31. A plurality of records are recorded in the SNS user information table TBL31. One record includes a name, sex, address, work place, identification information UID that uniquely identifies the SNS user (functioning as an account), and an e-mail address. These pieces of information are personal information registered by the SNS user.
　図６にＳＮＳ友達情報テーブルＴＢＬ３２のデータ構造を示す。ＳＮＳ友達情報テーブルＴＢＬ３２には複数のレコードが記録されている。１つのレコードは、アクション元の識別情報、アクション先の識別情報、ステータス、及び申請日時を含む。アクション元は、友達申請を送信したＳＮＳ利用者であり、アクション先は、友達申請を受信したＳＮＳ利用者である。ステータスは、友達申請の状態を示し、申請中が「０」、承諾が「１」で表される。図６に示す例では、ＵＩＤが「0zz99x999」のＳＮＳ利用者は、ＵＩＤが「6zz99x999」のＳＮＳ利用者に友達申請を送信し、承諾されている。 FIG. 6 shows the data structure of the SNS friend information table TBL32. A plurality of records are recorded in the SNS friend information table TBL32. One record includes the identification information of the action source, the identification information of the action destination, the status, and the application date / time. The action source is the SNS user who sent the friend application, and the action destination is the SNS user who received the friend application. The status indicates the status of the friend application, and “0” indicates that the application is in progress and “1” indicates acceptance. In the example shown in FIG. 6, the SNS user whose UID is “0zz99x999” transmits a friend application to the SNS user whose UID is “6zz99x999” and is approved.
　友達関係を記憶する場合に、アクション元（友達申請送信者：friend request transmitter）とアクション先（友達申請受信者: friend request receiver）を分けて記憶したのは、記憶容量を削減する利点がある。仮に、あるＳＮＳ利用者の識別情報ＵＩＤと当該ＳＮＳ利用者と友達関係にある全てのＳＮＳ利用者の識別情報ＵＩＤとを対応づけて記憶したとすると、２倍の記憶容量が必要となる。例えば、ＳＮＳ利用者Ｕ１がアクション元でありＳＮＳ利用者Ｕ２がアクション先であるとする。各ＳＮＳ利用者ごとに友達関係にあるＳＮＳ利用者の識別情報を記憶する場合には、利用者Ｕ１について利用者Ｕ２が友達関係にあることを記憶し、さらに、利用者Ｕ２について利用者Ｕ１が友達関係にあることを記憶する必要がある。これに対して、本実施形態では、アクション先の識別情報とアクション元の識別情報とを対応づけて１つのレコードに記憶するので記憶容量を半分にすることができる。また、ステータスを更新する場合でも半分の処理となる。 When storing the friend relationship, storing the action source (friend request sender: friend request transmitter) and the action destination (friend application receiver: friend request requester) separately has the advantage of reducing the storage capacity. If the identification information UID of a certain SNS user and the identification information UID of all SNS users who are in friendship with the SNS user are stored in association with each other, twice the storage capacity is required. For example, it is assumed that the SNS user U1 is an action source and the SNS user U2 is an action destination. When storing the identification information of the SNS user who is in a friend relationship for each SNS user, it is stored that the user U2 is in a friend relationship for the user U1, and further, the user U1 is in the user U2 I need to remember my friendship. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the action destination identification information and the action source identification information are associated with each other and stored in one record, so that the storage capacity can be halved. Even when the status is updated, the processing is half.

＜２．サービス提供システムの動作＞
　サービス提供システム１００では、ゴルフ利用者の端末装置２において、ゴルフ友達の階層構造を示す関係図を表示させることができ、また、ゴルフ利用者は、ゴルフ利用者とＳＮＳにおいて友達関係にあるＳＮＳ利用者をゴルフ情報サービスへの参加に招待することができる。以下、関係図を表示させる表示処理と、ゴルフ情報サービスへの参加に招待する招待処理について説明する。 <2. Operation of service providing system>
In the service providing system 100, the golf user's terminal device 2 can display a relationship diagram showing the hierarchical structure of the golf chum, and the golf user can use the SNS in a friendship relationship with the golf user in the SNS. Can be invited to participate in the golf information service. Hereinafter, a display process for displaying a relationship diagram and an invitation process for inviting participation in the golf information service will be described.
＜２－１：表示処理＞
　図９及び図１０に表示処理に関するサービス提供システムの動作シーケンスを示す。端末装置２のＳＮＳ利用者（ゴルフ利用者でもある）が、ウェブブラウザ上で動作したり、端末装置２にインストールされて動作するアプリケーションを起動して、ＳＮＳサイトにアクセスすると、端末装置２のディスプレイ２５には、ログイン画面が表示される。このログイン画面には、識別情報ＵＩＤとパスワードとを入力する入力ボックスが表示される。利用者が、入力ボックスに入力して送信ボタンを押すと、端末装置２は、入力した識別情報ＵＩＤ及びパスワードを含むログイン要求を外部管理サーバ３に送信する。 <2-1: Display processing>
9 and 10 show an operation sequence of the service providing system related to the display processing. When the SNS user (also a golf user) of the terminal device 2 operates on a web browser or starts an application installed and operated on the terminal device 2 to access the SNS site, the display of the terminal device 2 In 25, a login screen is displayed. An input box for entering the identification information UID and password is displayed on the login screen. When the user inputs in the input box and presses the transmission button, the terminal device 2 transmits a login request including the input identification information UID and password to the external management server 3.
　ログイン要求を外部管理サーバ３が受信すると、外部管理サーバ３は認証処理を実行する（Ｓ３００）。具体的には、外部管理サーバ３のＣＰＵは、識別情報ＵＩＤとパスワードとの組が記憶されているか否かを判定し、判定条件を充足する場合にはログインを許可し、判定条件が充足されない場合にはログインを拒絶する。そして、ＣＰＵは判定結果を示すログイン応答を端末装置２に対して送信させる。なお、図９に示す例では、ログインが許可されたものとする。一度、端末装置２で入力された識別情報ＵＩＤとパスワードとの組は、端末装置２に所定期間記憶されて、当該所定期間内であればログインを省略可能としてもよい。また、管理サーバ１は外部管理サーバ３で発行されるトークンを用いて、外部管理サーバ３にアクセス可能とするOauth認証を採用してもよい。この場合は、所定の利用者の識別情報ＵＩＤに対応するトークンを用いて外部管理サーバ３にアクセスすればよい。 When the external management server 3 receives the login request, the external management server 3 executes an authentication process (S300). Specifically, the CPU of the external management server 3 determines whether or not the combination of the identification information UID and the password is stored. If the determination condition is satisfied, the login is permitted and the determination condition is not satisfied. In case it refuses login. Then, the CPU causes the terminal device 2 to transmit a login response indicating the determination result. In the example shown in FIG. 9, it is assumed that login is permitted. The set of the identification information UID and the password once input at the terminal device 2 may be stored in the terminal device 2 for a predetermined period, and login may be omitted within the predetermined period. The management server 1 may employ Oauth authentication that enables access to the external management server 3 using a token issued by the external management server 3. In this case, the external management server 3 may be accessed using a token corresponding to the identification information UID of a predetermined user.
　この後、所定の利用者がＳＮＳのメニューの中からゴルフアプリケーションを選択すると（Ｓ２００）、端末装置２は、マイページ閲覧要求を管理サーバ１に送信する。管理サーバ１はマイページ閲覧要求を受信すると、マイページ閲覧要求に含まれる所定の利用者の識別情報ＵＩＤを取得し、所定の利用者の識別情報ＵＩＤを外部管理サーバ３に送信する（Ｓ１００）。 Thereafter, when a predetermined user selects a golf application from the SNS menu (S200), the terminal device 2 transmits a my page browsing request to the management server 1. Upon receiving the my page browsing request, the management server 1 acquires the identification information UID of the predetermined user included in the my page browsing request, and transmits the identification information UID of the predetermined user to the external management server 3 (S100). .
　外部管理サーバ３が、所定の利用者の識別情報ＵＩＤを含む要求を受信すると、外部管理サーバ３のＣＰＵは、ＳＮＳ友達情報テーブルＴＢＬ３２にアクセスし、当該識別情報ＵＩＤがアクション元又はアクション先として記録されているレコードを抽出する（Ｓ３０１）。さらに、ＣＰＵは、これらのレコードにアクション元又はアクション先として記録されている識別情報ＵＩＤをキーとしてＳＮＳ利用者情報テーブルＴＢＬ３１からＳＮＳ利用者情報を抽出する（Ｓ３０１）。この後、外部管理サーバ３は、抽出したＳＮＳ友達情報及びＳＮＳ利用者情報を含む友達リストを管理サーバ１に送信する。 When the external management server 3 receives a request including the identification information UID of a predetermined user, the CPU of the external management server 3 accesses the SNS friend information table TBL32 and records the identification information UID as an action source or an action destination. The recorded record is extracted (S301). Further, the CPU extracts SNS user information from the SNS user information table TBL31 using the identification information UID recorded as an action source or an action destination in these records as a key (S301). Thereafter, the external management server 3 transmits a friend list including the extracted SNS friend information and SNS user information to the management server 1.
　管理サーバ１が、友達リストを受信して、ＳＮＳ友達情報及びＳＮＳ利用者情報を取得すると（Ｓ１０１）、管理サーバ１は、所定の利用者の直接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf1の識別情報ＵＩＤを特定する（Ｓ１０２）。具体的には、ＳＮＳ友達情報のレコードにおいてアクション元又はアクション先として記録されている識別情報ＵＩＤのうち、所定の利用者の識別情報ＵＩＤ及び重複する識別情報ＵＩＤを除いた識別情報ＵＩＤを所定の利用者の直接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf1の識別情報ＵＩＤとして特定する。この結果、図１１Ａに示すように所定の利用者と友達関係にある直接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf1を特定することができる。この後、管理サーバ１は、直接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf1の識別情報ＵＩＤを外部管理サーバ３に送信する（Ｓ１０３）。 When the management server 1 receives the friend list and acquires the SNS friend information and the SNS user information (S101), the management server 1 specifies the identification information UID of the predetermined user's direct SNS friend Uf1 (S102). ). Specifically, among the identification information UID recorded as the action source or the action destination in the record of the SNS friend information, the identification information UID excluding the identification information UID of the predetermined user and the overlapping identification information UID is set as the predetermined information. It identifies as identification information UID of a user's direct SNS friend Uf1. As a result, as shown in FIG. 11A, it is possible to specify the direct SNS friend Uf1 who has a friendship with a predetermined user. Thereafter, the management server 1 directly transmits the identification information UID of the SNS friend Uf1 to the external management server 3 (S103).
　外部管理サーバ３が、直接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf1の識別情報ＵＩＤを含む要求を受信すると、外部管理サーバ３のＣＰＵは、ＳＮＳ友達情報テーブルＴＢＬ３２にアクセスし、当該識別情報ＵＩＤがアクション元又はアクション先として記録されているレコードを抽出する（Ｓ３０２）。この後、外部管理サーバ３は、抽出したＳＮＳ友達情報を含む友達リストを管理サーバ１に送信する。この友達リストは、直接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf1のＳＮＳ友達、即ち、間接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf2のリストである。 When the external management server 3 directly receives a request including the identification information UID of the SNS friend Uf1, the CPU of the external management server 3 accesses the SNS friend information table TBL32 and records the identification information UID as an action source or an action destination. The recorded record is extracted (S302). Thereafter, the external management server 3 transmits a friend list including the extracted SNS friend information to the management server 1. This friend list is a list of SNS friends of direct SNS friends Uf1, that is, indirect SNS friends Uf2.
　管理サーバ１が、友達リストを受信して、間接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf2について友達情報を取得すると（Ｓ１０４）、管理サーバ１は、間接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf2について識別情報ＵＩＤを特定する（Ｓ１０５）。具体的には、ＳＮＳ友達情報のレコードにおいてアクション元又はアクション先として記録されている識別情報ＵＩＤのうち、直接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf1の識別情報ＵＩＤと重複する識別情報ＵＩＤを除いた識別情報ＵＩＤを間接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf2の識別情報ＵＩＤとして特定する。この結果、図１１Ｂに示すように所定の利用者と友達関係にある直接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf1及び間接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf2を特定することができる。この後、管理サーバ１は、間接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf2の識別情報ＵＩＤを外部管理サーバ３に送信する（Ｓ１０６）。 When the management server 1 receives the friend list and acquires friend information for the indirect SNS friend Uf2 (S104), the management server 1 specifies the identification information UID for the indirect SNS friend Uf2 (S105). Specifically, among the identification information UID recorded as the action source or the action destination in the record of SNS friend information, the identification information UID excluding the identification information UID that overlaps with the identification information UID of the direct SNS friend Uf1 is indirectly SNS. The identification information UID of the friend Uf2 is specified. As a result, as shown in FIG. 11B, it is possible to specify the direct SNS friend Uf1 and the indirect SNS friend Uf2 that are in friendship with a predetermined user. Thereafter, the management server 1 transmits the identification information UID of the indirect SNS friend Uf2 to the external management server 3 (S106).
　外部管理サーバ３が、間接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf2の識別情報ＵＩＤを含む要求を受信すると、外部管理サーバ３のＣＰＵは、ＳＮＳ利用者情報テーブルＴＢＬ３１にアクセスし、当該識別情報ＵＩＤが記録されているレコードを抽出する（Ｓ３０３）。この後、外部管理サーバ３は、抽出したＳＮＳ利用者情報を管理サーバ１に送信する。 When the external management server 3 receives a request including the identification information UID of the indirect SNS friend Uf2, the CPU of the external management server 3 accesses the SNS user information table TBL31 and records a record in which the identification information UID is recorded. Extract (S303). Thereafter, the external management server 3 transmits the extracted SNS user information to the management server 1.
　管理サーバ１が、間接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf2のＳＮＳ利用者情報を受信すると（Ｓ１０７）、図１０に示すように、管理サーバ１のＣＰＵ３０は、直接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf1の識別情報ＵＩＤと、間接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf2の識別情報ＵＩＤと、ゴルフ利用者の識別情報ＵＩＤとに基づいて直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1及び間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2を特定する（Ｓ１０８）。具体的には、ゴルフ利用者情報テーブルＴＢＬ１１を参照することにより、Ｓ１０２で特定した直接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf1の識別情報ＵＩＤのうちゴルフ利用者の識別情報ＵＩＤと一致するものを、直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1の識別情報ＵＩＤとする。また、ゴルフ利用者情報テーブルＴＢＬ１１を参照することにより、Ｓ１０５で特定した間接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf2の識別情報ＵＩＤのうちゴルフ利用者の識別情報ＵＩＤと一致するものを、間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2の識別情報ＵＩＤとする。このようにして図２に示すように直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1及び間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2が特定される。 When the management server 1 receives the SNS user information of the indirect SNS friend Uf2 (S107), as shown in FIG. 10, the CPU 30 of the management server 1 directly identifies the identification information UID of the SNS friend Uf1 and the indirect SNS friend Uf2. The direct golf chum Ug1 and the indirect golf chum Ug2 are specified based on the identification information UID and the golf user identification information UID (S108). Specifically, by referring to the golf user information table TBL11, among the identification information UID of the direct SNS friend Uf1 specified in S102, the one that matches the golf user's identification information UID is directly identified by the golf friend Ug1. Let it be an information UID. In addition, by referring to the golf user information table TBL11, the identification information UID of the indirect SNS friend Uf2 identified in S105 matches the identification information UID of the golf user, and the identification information UID of the indirect golf friend Ug2 To do. In this way, the direct golf chum Ug1 and the indirect golf chum Ug2 are specified as shown in FIG.
　次に、管理サーバ１のＣＰＵ３０は、関係図を表示させる表示情報を生成し（Ｓ１０９）、当該表示情報を含むマイページ閲覧応答を所定の利用者の端末装置２に送信する（Ｓ１１０）。ここで、ＣＰＵ３０は、ゴルフ利用者のプロフィール画像を画面に配置した関係図を表示するために必要な表示情報を生成する。送信データ量を削減するため、プロフィール画像は、画像データのアドレスを示すリンク情報として与えられる。なお、リンク情報の代わりにプロフィール画像データを表示情報に含ませてもよい。 Next, the CPU 30 of the management server 1 generates display information for displaying the relationship diagram (S109), and transmits a My Page browsing response including the display information to the terminal device 2 of a predetermined user (S110). Here, CPU30 produces | generates display information required in order to display the related figure which has arrange | positioned the profile image of a golf user on the screen. In order to reduce the amount of transmission data, the profile image is given as link information indicating the address of the image data. Note that profile image data may be included in the display information instead of the link information.
　ステップＳ１０９において、まず、ＣＰＵ３０は、表示対象のゴルフ友達を直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1と間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2とに大別し、仮想的な画面に全ての直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1のプロフィール画像と間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2のプロフィール画像とを配置した関係図を生成する。ここで、複数のゴルフ友達がいる場合、彼らのプロフィール画像をどのように配置するかについては、各種の方法がある。例えば、プロフィール画像をランダムに配置してもよいし、あるいは、所定の利用者とゴルフ友達との親密度を算出し、親密度が高いゴルフ友達のプロフィール画像ほど、所定の利用者のプロフィール画像の近くに配置するようにしてもよい。
　また、本実施形態では、直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1のプロフィール画像のアイコンは、間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2のプロフィール画像のアイコンよりも大きくする。表示すべき人数が多い場合には、仮想的に画面の大きさは端末装置２のディスプレイ２５で表示される画面より大きくなる。この場合には、端末装置２において、仮想的な画面を表示可能な大きさに切り出してディスプレイ２５に表示することになる。 In step S109, first, the CPU 30 roughly classifies the display target golf chum into direct golf chum Ug1 and indirect golf chum Ug2, and displays profile images of all direct golf chum Ug1 and indirect golf chum Ug2 on a virtual screen. A relationship diagram in which profile images are arranged is generated. Here, when there are a plurality of golf friends, there are various methods for arranging their profile images. For example, profile images may be arranged at random, or the intimacy between a predetermined user and a golf chum is calculated. You may make it arrange | position near.
Moreover, in this embodiment, the icon of the profile image of direct golf chum Ug1 is made larger than the icon of the profile image of indirect golf chum Ug2. When the number of persons to be displayed is large, the screen size is virtually larger than the screen displayed on the display 25 of the terminal device 2. In this case, in the terminal device 2, a virtual screen is cut out to a displayable size and displayed on the display 25.
　ＣＰＵ３０は、直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1のプロフィール画像を仮想的な画面の一番手前から埋め、その後、その奥に、間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2のプロフィール画像を埋めていく。例えば、全ての直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1と間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2を配置した画面が図１２に示す画面Ｗであるとする。直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1のプロフィール画像を一番手前の画面に配置し、直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1の配置が完了した後、間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2のプロフィール画像をその奥に配置する。この場合、ＣＰＵ３０は、領域ｒ１→領域ｒ２→領域ｒ３…の順に直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1のプロフィール画像と間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2のプロフィール画像とを配置する。なお、１つの領域に表示可能な人数は予め設定で決められているが、任意の人数に変更可能としても良い。ここで、直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1を表示する領域を第１表示領域と称する場合がある。また、間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2を表示する領域を第２表示領域と称する場合がある。 The CPU 30 fills the profile image of the golf chum Ug1 directly from the forefront of the virtual screen, and then fills the profile image of the indirect golf chum Ug2 in the back. For example, it is assumed that a screen on which all direct golf chum Ug1 and indirect golf chum Ug2 are arranged is a screen W shown in FIG. The profile image of the direct golf chum Ug1 is arranged on the back of the screen, and after the arrangement of the direct golf chum Ug1 is completed, the profile image of the indirect golf chum Ug2 is placed behind it. In this case, the CPU 30 arranges the profile image of the direct golf chum Ug1 and the profile image of the indirect golf chum Ug2 in the order of the area r1 → the area r2 → the area r3. The number of people that can be displayed in one area is determined in advance, but may be changed to any number. Here, the area | region which displays the golf chum Ug1 directly may be called a 1st display area. Moreover, the area | region which displays indirect golf chum Ug2 may be called a 2nd display area.
　端末装置２のディスプレイ２５において最初に表示されるのが画面領域Ｒ１である。この場合、領域ｒ１は図３に示す表示領域Ｙ１（第１表示領域）に相当し、領域ｒ２は表示領域Ｙ２（第２表示領域）に相当する。図３に示すボタンＢ２をクリックすると、ディスプレイ２５に画面領域Ｒ２が表示される。この場合、領域ｒ２は図３に示す表示領域Ｙ１（第１表示領域）に相当し、領域ｒ３は表示領域Ｙ２（第２表示領域）に相当する。つまり、本実施形態における表示方法では、表示される画面領域Ｒ１又はＲ２に応じて、領域ｒ２は第２表示領域又は第１表示領域に相当するものとなる。この状態で、ボタンＢ１をクリックすると、ディスプレイ２５に画面領域Ｒ１が表示される。 The screen area R1 is first displayed on the display 25 of the terminal device 2. In this case, the region r1 corresponds to the display region Y1 (first display region) shown in FIG. 3, and the region r2 corresponds to the display region Y2 (second display region). When the button B2 shown in FIG. 3 is clicked, the screen area R2 is displayed on the display 25. In this case, the region r2 corresponds to the display region Y1 (first display region) shown in FIG. 3, and the region r3 corresponds to the display region Y2 (second display region). That is, in the display method according to the present embodiment, the region r2 corresponds to the second display region or the first display region, depending on the screen region R1 or R2 to be displayed. When the button B1 is clicked in this state, the screen area R1 is displayed on the display 25.
　即ち、端末装置２のディスプレイ２５は、画面を所定の方向にスライドして画面サイズよりも大きなサイズの関係図を表示できるようになっている。管理サーバ１のＣＰＵ３０は、ディスプレイ２５の画面サイズに相当する領域に直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1のプロフィール画像と間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2のプロフィール画像を全て配置できない場合、画面サイズよりも大きな領域に直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1のプロフィール画像と間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2のプロフィール画像とを配置した関係図を表示するために必要な表示情報を生成する。 That is, the display 25 of the terminal device 2 can display a relationship diagram having a size larger than the screen size by sliding the screen in a predetermined direction. When the CPU 30 of the management server 1 cannot place all the profile images of the golf chum Ug1 and the indirect golf chum Ug2 directly in the area corresponding to the screen size of the display 25, the golf chum Ug1 directly in the area larger than the screen size. Display information necessary for displaying the relationship diagram in which the profile image and the profile image of the indirect golf chum Ug2 are arranged is generated.
　説明を図１０に戻す。次に、管理サーバ１は、表示情報を含むマイページ閲覧応答を所定の利用者の端末装置２に送信する（Ｓ１１０）。端末装置２がマイページ閲覧応答を受信すると、ＣＰＵ２０はディスプレイ２５に直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1のプロフィール画像と間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2のプロフィール画像とを配置した関係図を表示する。即ち、管理サーバ１のＣＰＵ３０は、所定の利用者の端末装置２のディスプレイ２５に上記関係図を表示させる表示制御部として機能する。
　本実施形態では、図３及び図１２に示すように直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1のプロフィール画像が手前に配置され、間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2のプロフィール画像が直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1より奥に配置されるので、ゴルフ利用者は、ゴルフ友達の階層関係を容易に把握することができる。さらに、所定の利用者とより関係の深い直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1のプロフィール画像は間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2のプロフィール画像よりも大きなアイコンで表示されるので、両者の階層関係を一見して把握することができる。加えて、間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2は、所定の利用者のゴルフ友達のそれぞれに対して友達関係があるので、直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1よりも人数が多いのが通常である。間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2のアイコンを直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1のアイコンよりも小さくすることによって、効率の良い表示が可能となる。 Returning to FIG. Next, the management server 1 transmits a my page browsing response including display information to the terminal device 2 of a predetermined user (S110). When the terminal device 2 receives the my page browsing response, the CPU 20 displays a relationship diagram in which the profile image of the golf chum Ug1 and the profile image of the indirect golf chum Ug2 are directly arranged on the display 25. That is, the CPU 30 of the management server 1 functions as a display control unit that displays the relationship diagram on the display 25 of the terminal device 2 of a predetermined user.
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 12, the profile image of the direct golf chum Ug1 is arranged in the foreground, and the profile image of the indirect golf chum Ug2 is directly placed behind the golf chum Ug1, so that the golf user Can easily grasp the hierarchical relationship of golf friends. Furthermore, since the profile image of the direct golf chum Ug1 that is more closely related to the predetermined user is displayed with a larger icon than the profile image of the indirect golf chum Ug2, it is possible to grasp the hierarchical relationship between the two at a glance. In addition, since the indirect golf chum Ug2 has a friendship relationship with each of the predetermined user's golf chums, the number of people is usually larger than the direct golf chum Ug1. By making the icon of the indirect golf chum Ug2 smaller than the icon of the direct golf chum Ug1, it is possible to display efficiently.
＜２－２：招待処理＞
　図１３Ａ及び１３Ｂに招待処理に関するサービス提供システムの動作シーケンスを示す。この例では、アクション元のゴルフ利用者の端末装置を端末装置２ｆ、アクション先のＳＮＳ利用者の端末装置を端末装置２ｔと称する。
　まず、アクション元である端末装置２ｆのゴルフ利用者（所定の利用者）が、図３に示すマイページにおいてアイコンＡをクリックして「ゴルフ友達を増やす（Add golf friend）」を選択すると、端末装置２ｆは、友達申請ページ要求を管理サーバ１に送信する。管理サーバ１は友達申請ページ要求を受信すると、所定の利用者の識別情報ＵＩＤを取得し、所定の利用者の識別情報ＵＩＤを外部管理サーバ３に送信する（Ｓ１２０）。 <2-2: Invitation processing>
13A and 13B show an operation sequence of the service providing system related to the invitation process. In this example, the terminal device of the action-source golf user is referred to as the terminal device 2f, and the terminal device of the SNS user as the action destination is referred to as the terminal device 2t.
First, when the golf user (predetermined user) of the terminal device 2f that is the action source clicks the icon A on the My Page shown in FIG. 3 and selects “Add golf friend”, the terminal The device 2f transmits a friend application page request to the management server 1. When receiving the friend application page request, the management server 1 acquires the identification information UID of the predetermined user, and transmits the identification information UID of the predetermined user to the external management server 3 (S120).
　外部管理サーバ３が、所定の利用者の識別情報ＵＩＤを含む要求を受信すると、外部管理サーバ３のＣＰＵは、ＳＮＳ友達情報テーブルＴＢＬ３２にアクセスし、当該識別情報ＵＩＤがアクション元又はアクション先として記録されているレコードを抽出する（Ｓ３２０）。さらに、ＣＰＵは、これらのレコードにアクション元又はアクション先として記録されている識別情報ＵＩＤをキーとしてＳＮＳ利用者情報テーブルＴＢＬ３１からＳＮＳ利用者情報を抽出する（Ｓ３２１）。この後、外部管理サーバ３は、抽出したＳＮＳ友達情報及びＳＮＳ利用者情報を含む友達リストを管理サーバ１に送信する。 When the external management server 3 receives a request including the identification information UID of a predetermined user, the CPU of the external management server 3 accesses the SNS friend information table TBL32 and records the identification information UID as an action source or an action destination. The recorded record is extracted (S320). Further, the CPU extracts SNS user information from the SNS user information table TBL31 using the identification information UID recorded as an action source or an action destination in these records as a key (S321). Thereafter, the external management server 3 transmits a friend list including the extracted SNS friend information and SNS user information to the management server 1.
　管理サーバ１が、友達リストを受信して、ＳＮＳ友達情報及びＳＮＳ利用者情報を取得すると（Ｓ１２１）、管理サーバ１のＣＰＵ３０は、ＳＮＳ友達であり且つゴルフ利用者でない者を抽出し、友達申請ページを生成する（Ｓ１２２）。
　より具体的には、第１に、ＣＰＵ３０は、友達情報のステータスが承諾のレコードにアクション元又はアクション先として記録されている識別情報ＵＩＤのうち、所定の利用者の識別情報ＵＩＤ及び重複する識別情報ＵＩＤを除いた識別情報ＵＩＤを所定の利用者の直接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf1の識別情報ＵＩＤとして特定する。
　第２に、ＣＰＵ３０は、ゴルフ利用者情報テーブルＴＢＬ１１を参照して、ゴルフ利用者の識別情報ＵＩＤを取得する。
　第３に、ＣＰＵ３０は、直接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf1の識別情報ＵＩＤからゴルフ利用者の識別情報ＵＩＤを除いた者の識別情報ＵＩＤを招待候補者として特定する。
　第４に、ＣＰＵ３０は、招待候補者の識別情報ＵＩＤに対応するＳＮＳ利用者情報を用いて、友達申請ページを生成する。 When the management server 1 receives the friend list and acquires SNS friend information and SNS user information (S121), the CPU 30 of the management server 1 extracts a person who is an SNS friend and not a golf user, and applies for a friend. A page is generated (S122).
More specifically, firstly, the CPU 30 determines that the identification information UID of the predetermined user and the duplicated identification among the identification information UID recorded as the action source or the action destination in the record in which the friend information status is consent. The identification information UID excluding the information UID is specified as the identification information UID of the direct SNS friend Uf1 of the predetermined user.
2ndly, CPU30 acquires golf user identification information UID with reference to golf user information table TBL11.
3rdly, CPU30 specifies the identification information UID of the person remove | excluding the golf user's identification information UID from the identification information UID of direct SNS friend Uf1 as an invitation candidate.
4thly, CPU30 produces | generates a friend application page using the SNS user information corresponding to the identification information UID of an invitation candidate.
　この後、管理サーバ１は、友達申請ページ応答を端末装置２ｆに送信する。友達申請ページ応答を受信した端末装置２ｆは、ディスプレイ２５に友達申請ページを表示する（Ｓ２２１）。図１４に友達申請ページの一例を示す。この例では、領域Ｃに招待候補者のアイコンが表示される。招待候補者のアイコンは、ボタンＢ３をクリックすると左方向にスクロールし、ボタンＢ４をクリックすると右方向にスクロールする。そして、招待候補者のアイコンを所定の領域（この例では、グリーン）にドラッグすると、図１５に示すように確認画面が表示される。この例では、「山田一郎」をゴルフ情報サービスへの参加に招待するか否かが確認される。キャンセルボタンＢ５がクリックされると、アイコンＤは領域Ｃの元の位置に戻される。一方、招待ボタンＢ６がクリックされると、図１３Ａに示すように端末装置２ｆはゴルフ友達申請要求（request for golf friend request）を管理サーバ１に送信する。ゴルフ友達申請要求にはアクション元（友達申請元）の識別情報ＵＩＤとアクション先（友達申請先）の識別情報ＵＩＤとが含まれている。 Thereafter, the management server 1 transmits a friend application page response to the terminal device 2f. The terminal device 2f that has received the friend application page response displays the friend application page on the display 25 (S221). FIG. 14 shows an example of a friend application page. In this example, an invitation candidate icon is displayed in region C. The invitation candidate icon scrolls to the left when the button B3 is clicked, and scrolls to the right when the button B4 is clicked. Then, when the invitation candidate icon is dragged to a predetermined area (in this example, green), a confirmation screen is displayed as shown in FIG. In this example, it is confirmed whether or not “Ichiro Yamada” is invited to participate in the golf information service. When the cancel button B5 is clicked, the icon D is returned to the original position of the area C. On the other hand, when the invitation button B6 is clicked, the terminal device 2f transmits a golf friend application request (request for golf friend request) to the management server 1 as shown in FIG. 13A. The golf friend application request includes the identification information UID of the action source (friend application source) and the identification information UID of the action destination (friend application destination).
　管理サーバ１がゴルフ友達申請要求を受信すると、管理サーバ１はゴルフ友達申請処理を実行する（Ｓ１２３）。ゴルフ友達申請処理では、管理サーバ１のＣＰＵ３０は、アクション元とアクション先の識別情報ＵＩＤを含むゴルフ友達申請通知を外部管理サーバ３に送信する。外部管理サーバ３はゴルフ友達申請通知を受信すると、アクション先の識別情報ＵＩＤと関連付けて、アクション元であるＳＮＳ友達からゴルフ情報サービスへの参加の招待があったことを示す招待情報をＳＮＳ利用者情報テーブルＴＢＬ３１に記憶する（Ｓ３２０）。 When the management server 1 receives the golf chum application request, the management server 1 executes a golf chum application process (S123). In the golf chum application process, the CPU 30 of the management server 1 transmits a golf chum application notification including the identification information UID of the action source and the action destination to the external management server 3. When the external management server 3 receives the golf friend application notification, the SNS user receives invitation information indicating that the SNS friend who is the action source has been invited to participate in the golf information service in association with the action destination identification information UID. The information is stored in the information table TBL31 (S320).
　図１３Ｂに示すように、この後、アクション先のＳＮＳ利用者が、端末装置２ｔにおいてＳＮＳサイトにログインすると、当該ＳＮＳ利用者のマイページにアクション元のゴルフ利用者からゴルフ情報サービスへの参加に招待する旨のメッセージと共に管理サーバ１が管理する登録ページへジャンプするボタンが表示される（Ｓ２３０）。アクション先のＳＮＳ利用者がボタンをクリックして登録を選択すると（Ｓ２３１）、登録ページ要求が管理サーバ１に送信される。管理サーバ１が登録ページを含む登録ページ応答を端末装置２ｔに送信すると、端末装置２ｔのディスプレイ２５には登録ページが表示される（Ｓ２３２）。端末装置２ｔにおいてＳＮＳ利用者が所定事項を入力して登録ページに表示される登録ボタンをクリックすると、端末装置２ｔは登録要求を管理サーバ１に送信する。 As shown in FIG. 13B, after that, when the SNS user of the action destination logs in to the SNS site in the terminal device 2t, the golf user who is the action source participates in the golf information service on the SNS user's My Page. A button for jumping to a registration page managed by the management server 1 is displayed together with a message to invite (S230). When the SNS user of the action destination clicks the button and selects registration (S231), a registration page request is transmitted to the management server 1. When the management server 1 transmits a registration page response including a registration page to the terminal device 2t, the registration page is displayed on the display 25 of the terminal device 2t (S232). When the SNS user inputs a predetermined item in the terminal device 2t and clicks a registration button displayed on the registration page, the terminal device 2t transmits a registration request to the management server 1.
　管理サーバ１が登録要求を受信すると、ＣＰＵ３０はゴルフ利用者情報テーブルＴＢＬ１１を更新する。この際、ゴルフ利用者情報テーブルＴＢＬ１１には、アクション先のＳＮＳ利用者の識別情報ＵＩＤが追加されると共に、アクション元のゴルフ利用者の識別情報ＵＩＤに関連付けて登録メッセージが記録される。
　この後、アクション元のゴルフ利用者が管理サーバ１にログインすると、管理サーバ１は、登録メッセージを含むマイページを端末装置２ｆに送信する。マイページを受信した端末装置２ｆのＣＰＵ２０は、ディスプレイ２５にマイページを表示する（Ｓ２４０）。図１６に登録メッセージを含むマイページの一例を示す。この例では、領域Ｄにゴルフ情報サービスへの参加の招待を受諾したＳＮＳ利用者のプロフィール画像と共に「誘ってくれてありがとう！ゴルフに行こう！」という登録メッセージが表示される。
　このように、直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1が増加すると、間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2も増加するので、マイページに表示される友達の人数が急激に増加し、マイページが賑やかになり、ゴルフに関するコミュニケーションを活性化することができる。 When the management server 1 receives the registration request, the CPU 30 updates the golf user information table TBL11. At this time, the identification information UID of the SNS user of the action destination is added to the golf user information table TBL11, and a registration message is recorded in association with the identification information UID of the golf user of the action source.
Thereafter, when the action-source golf user logs in to the management server 1, the management server 1 transmits a my page including a registration message to the terminal device 2f. CPU20 of the terminal device 2f which received my page displays my page on the display 25 (S240). FIG. 16 shows an example of my page including a registration message. In this example, a registration message “Thank you for inviting! Let's go to golf!” Is displayed in the region D together with the profile image of the SNS user who accepted the invitation to participate in the golf information service.
In this way, when the direct golf chum Ug1 increases, the indirect golf chum Ug2 also increases, so the number of friends displayed on the My Page increases rapidly, the My Page becomes lively, and activates communication related to golf. be able to.
　なお、招待の通知の態様としては、マイページにおける招待の投稿に対して、賛同を表明するボタン（例えば、「いいね！」ボタン）のクリックや、メールの本文記載のＵＲＬからのアクセスであってもよい。この場合、賛同を表明するボタンやメールの本文記載のＵＲＬにアクション元の識別情報ＵＩＤが対応づけられていることが好ましい。
　また、上述の態様では、招待候補者は直接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf1であったが、間接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf2を招待候補者に含めてもよい。この場合、管理サーバ１の取得部１１は、直接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf1の識別情報ＵＩＤを外部管理サーバ３に送信し、間接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf2のＳＮＳ利用者情報を取得すればよい。 Note that the invitation notification mode is a click on a button (for example, a “Like” button) expressing approval for an invitation post on My Page or an access from a URL described in the text of an email. May be. In this case, it is preferable that the identification information UID of the action source is associated with the button for expressing approval and the URL described in the body of the mail.
Moreover, in the above-mentioned aspect, although the invitation candidate was direct SNS friend Uf1, you may include indirect SNS friend Uf2 in an invitation candidate. In this case, the acquisition unit 11 of the management server 1 may directly transmit the identification information UID of the SNS friend Uf1 to the external management server 3 and acquire the SNS user information of the indirect SNS friend Uf2.
＜第２実施形態＞
　上述した第１実施形態のサービス提供システム１００は、外部管理サーバ３においてＳＮＳ利用者の友達情報を管理し、管理サーバ１ではいかなる友達情報も独自に管理していなかった。これに対して、第２実施形態のサービス提供システム１００は、管理サーバ１の代わりに管理サーバ１Ａを用いる点を除いて、図１に示す第１実施形態のサービス提供システム１００と同様である。 <Second Embodiment>
The service providing system 100 according to the first embodiment described above manages the SNS user's friend information in the external management server 3, and the management server 1 does not independently manage any friend information. On the other hand, the service providing system 100 of the second embodiment is the same as the service providing system 100 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 except that the management server 1A is used instead of the management server 1.
　図１７に管理サーバ１Ａのブロック図を示す。管理サーバ１Ａは、記憶部１５にゴルフ友達情報テーブルＴＢＬ１２を備える点で、管理サーバ１と相違する。図１８にゴルフ友達情報テーブルＴＢＬ１２のデータ構造を示す。ゴルフ友達情報テーブルＴＢＬ１２には複数のレコードが記録されている。１つのレコードは、アクション元の識別情報、アクション先の識別情報、ステータス、及び申請日時を含む。アクション元は、ゴルフ友達申請を送信したゴルフ利用者であり、アクション先は、ゴルフ友達申請を受信したＳＮＳ利用者である。ステータスは、ゴルフ友達申請の状態を示し、申請中が「０」、承諾が「１」で表される。 FIG. 17 shows a block diagram of the management server 1A. The management server 1A is different from the management server 1 in that the storage unit 15 includes a golf chum information table TBL12. FIG. 18 shows the data structure of the golf chum information table TBL12. A plurality of records are recorded in the golf chum information table TBL12. One record includes the identification information of the action source, the identification information of the action destination, the status, and the application date / time. The action source is the golf user who transmitted the golf chum application, and the action destination is the SNS user who received the golf chum application. The status indicates the state of the golf chum application, and “0” indicates that the application is in progress, and “1” indicates that the application is approved.
　次に、第２実施形態に係る表示処理について説明する。第２実施形態では、図９を参照して説明した第１実施形態と同様に、外部管理サーバ３から、所定の利用者の直接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf1及び間接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf2について識別情報ＵＩＤとＳＮＳ利用者情報を取得する。 Next, display processing according to the second embodiment will be described. In the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment described with reference to FIG. 9, the identification information UID and the SNS user about the direct SNS friend Uf1 and the indirect SNS friend Uf2 of the predetermined user from the external management server 3 are used. Get information.
　表示処理では、まず、図２０Ａに示すように所定の利用者の直接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf1と間接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf2とが特定される。図１９に管理サーバ１のＣＰＵ３０が実行する表示情報生成処理の内容を示す。 In the display process, first, as shown in FIG. 20A, a direct SNS friend Uf1 and an indirect SNS friend Uf2 of a predetermined user are specified. FIG. 19 shows the contents of the display information generation process executed by the CPU 30 of the management server 1.
　ＣＰＵ３０は、直接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf1又は間接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf2であって、且つ直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1である者を抽出する（Ｓ１３０）。具体的には、第１に、ＣＰＵ３０は、所定の利用者の識別情報ＵＩＤをキーとして、当該識別情報ＵＩＤがアクション元又はアクション先となるレコードをゴルフ友達情報テーブルＴＢＬ１２から抽出し、直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1の識別情報ＵＩＤを特定する。第２に、ＣＰＵ３０は、直接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf1の識別情報ＵＩＤ又は間接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf2の識別情報ＵＩＤと、直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1の識別情報ＵＩＤとが一致するものを抽出し、抽出された識別情報ＵＩＤを表示対象のゴルフ友達とする。このように管理サーバ１で管理するゴルフ友達を、外部管理サーバ３で管理するＳＮＳ友達でフィルタリングするのは、ゴルフの友達関係はＳＮＳの友達関係を前提とするからである。例えば、ある時点で所定の利用者とＳＮＳ友達であったゴルフ友達について、時間が経過した後、所定の利用者とＳＮＳ上での友達関係が解消されたとする。この場合、ゴルフの友達関係が必ずしも解消されているとは限らない。そこで、ゴルフ友達をＳＮＳ友達でフィルタリングしたのである。この結果、図２０Ｂに示すように表示対象となる直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1が特定される。なお、この直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1のうち、同図に示す部分Ｆｘのゴルフ友達は、間接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf2でもある。これは、間接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf2であり、ゴルフ利用者ではないＳＮＳ利用者をゴルフ情報サービスへの参加に招待することによって、所定の利用者と直接のゴルフ友達となることがあるからである。 CPU30 extracts the person who is direct SNS friend Uf1 or indirect SNS friend Uf2, and is direct golf chum Ug1 (S130). Specifically, firstly, the CPU 30 extracts a record in which the identification information UID is an action source or an action destination from the golf chum information table TBL12 using the identification information UID of a predetermined user as a key, and directly golf chum The identification information UID of Ug1 is specified. Secondly, the CPU 30 extracts the identification information UID of the direct SNS friend Uf1 or the identification information UID of the indirect SNS friend Uf2 and the identification information UID of the direct golf friend Ug1 and extracts the extracted identification information UID. A golf friend to be displayed. The reason why the golf friend managed by the management server 1 is filtered by the SNS friend managed by the external management server 3 is that the friend relation of golf assumes the friend relation of SNS. For example, it is assumed that, for a golf chum who was a predetermined user and an SNS friend at a certain time, the friendship on the SNS on the predetermined user and the SNS was canceled after a lapse of time. In this case, the friendship of golf is not necessarily eliminated. Therefore, the golf friend was filtered by the SNS friend. As a result, as shown in FIG. 20B, the direct golf chum Ug1 to be displayed is specified. Of the direct golf chum Ug1, the golf chum of the portion Fx shown in the figure is also an indirect SNS friend Uf2. This is because it is an indirect SNS friend Uf2 and invites a SNS user who is not a golf user to participate in the golf information service, thereby becoming a direct golf friend with a predetermined user.
　この後、ＣＰＵ３０は、直接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf1又は間接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf2であって、且つ間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2である者を抽出する（Ｓ１３１）。具体的には、第１に、ＣＰＵ３０は、直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1の識別情報ＵＩＤをキーとして、当該識別情報ＵＩＤがアクション元又はアクション先となるレコードをゴルフ友達情報テーブルＴＢＬ１２から抽出し、間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2の識別情報ＵＩＤを特定する。第２に、ＣＰＵ３０は、直接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf1の識別情報ＵＩＤ又は間接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf2の識別情報ＵＩＤと、間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2の識別情報ＵＩＤとが一致するものを抽出し、抽出された識別情報ＵＩＤを表示対象の間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2とする。この結果、図２０Ｃに示すように表示対象となる間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2が特定される。なお、この間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2のうち、同図に示す部分Ｆｙの間接ゴルフ友達は、直接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf1でもある。これは、直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1と友達関係にある間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2には、直接のＳＮＳ友達が含まれるからである。
　このようにＣＰＵ３０は、Ｓ１３０及びＳ１３１を実行することにより、記憶部１５から読み出したゴルフ友達情報（特定関係情報，第１特定関係情報）と参照部１２で参照したＳＮＳ友達情報（第２特定関係情報）とに基づいて、所定の利用者と友達関係（特定の関係）を有するＳＮＳ利用者（第２サービス利用者）である直接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf1、及び当該直接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf1と更に友達関係を有するＳＮＳ利用者である間接ＳＮＳ友達Ｕf2を特定ＳＮＳ利用者（特定関係第２サービス利用者）としたとき、所定の利用者（所定の第１サービス利用者）と友達関係を有するゴルフ利用者（第１サービス利用者）であり、且つ特定ＳＮＳ利用者である者を直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1（第１の特定利用者）として特定し、直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1と友達関係を有するゴルフ利用者であり、且つ特定ＳＮＳ利用者である者を間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2（第２の特定利用者）として特定する特定部１３として機能する。 Then, CPU30 extracts the person who is direct SNS friend Uf1 or indirect SNS friend Uf2, and is indirect golf chum Ug2 (S131). Specifically, first, the CPU 30 extracts a record in which the identification information UID is the action source or the action destination from the golf chum information table TBL12 using the identification information UID of the direct golf chum Ug1 as a key, and indirectly golf chum The identification information UID of Ug2 is specified. Secondly, the CPU 30 extracts the identification information UID of the direct SNS friend Uf1 or the identification information UID of the indirect SNS friend Uf2 and the identification information UID of the indirect golf chum Ug2 and extracts the extracted identification information UID. The indirect golf chum Ug2 to be displayed is assumed. As a result, the indirect golf chum Ug2 to be displayed is specified as shown in FIG. 20C. Of the indirect golf chum Ug2, the indirect golf chum of the portion Fy shown in the figure is also a direct SNS friend Uf1. This is because the indirect golf chum Ug2 that is in direct friendship with the golf chum Ug1 includes a direct SNS friend.
Thus, CPU30 performs S130 and S131, and the golf chum information (specific relationship information, 1st specific relationship information) read from the memory | storage part 15 and the SNS friend information (2nd specific relationship) referred in the reference part 12 are shown. Information) and a direct SNS friend Uf1 who is a SNS user (second service user) having a friendship relationship (specific relationship) with a predetermined user, and further has a friendship relationship with the direct SNS friend Uf1 When an indirect SNS friend Uf2 that is an SNS user is a specific SNS user (specific relationship second service user), a golf user who has a friend relationship with a predetermined user (predetermined first service user) (first 1 service user) and who is a specific SNS user is directly identified as a golf friend Ug1 (first specific user) and directly has a friendship with the golf friend Ug1 It functions as the specifying unit 13 that specifies a golf user who is a specific SNS user as an indirect golf chum Ug2 (second specific user).
　次に、ＣＰＵ３０は、関係図を表示させる表示情報を生成し（Ｓ１３２）、表示情報を端末装置２に送信する（Ｓ１３３）。表示情報の生成は、図１０を参照して説明したＳ１０９の処理と同様である。この結果、第２実施形態においても第１実施形態と同様に、図３及び図１２に示すマイページを端末装置２のディスプレイ２５に表示させることができ、ゴルフ利用者は、ゴルフ友達の階層関係を容易に把握することが可能となる。即ち、ＣＰＵ３０は、特定部として機能することにより特定した直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1（第１の特定利用者）と間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2（第２の特定利用者）との関連性を示す関係図を所定の利用者（所定の第１サービス利用者）の端末装置２のディスプレイ２５に表示させる表示制御部１４として機能する。 Next, the CPU 30 generates display information for displaying the relationship diagram (S132), and transmits the display information to the terminal device 2 (S133). The generation of display information is the same as the process of S109 described with reference to FIG. As a result, also in the second embodiment, the my page shown in FIGS. 3 and 12 can be displayed on the display 25 of the terminal device 2 as in the first embodiment. Can be easily grasped. That is, the CPU 30 determines a predetermined relationship diagram indicating the relationship between the direct golf chum Ug1 (first specific user) and the indirect golf chum Ug2 (second specific user) specified by functioning as the specifying unit. It functions as the display control unit 14 to be displayed on the display 25 of the terminal device 2 of the user (predetermined first service user).
＜第３実施形態＞
　上述した第３実施形態のサービス提供システム１００Ａは、第２実施形態のサービス提供システム１００Ａから外部管理サーバ３を除いたものである。図２１に第３実施形態に係るサービス提供システム１００Ａのブロック図を示す。サービス提供システム１００Ａでは、第１実施形態及び第２実施形態のようにゴルフ利用者の集合がＳＮＳ利用者の集合に含まれるといった関係はない。
　管理サーバ１Ａは、ゴルフ利用者情報テーブルＴＢＬ１１とゴルフ友達情報テーブルＴＢＬ１２を記憶した記憶部１５を備える。また、記憶部１５には、管理サーバ１Ａを制御するプログラムが記憶されている。管理サーバ１Ａは、所定の利用者（所定の第１サービス利用者）の端末装置２から所定の利用者の友達関係を表示する要求を受信すると、当該所定の利用者の識別情報ＵＩＤを取得する取得部１１と、取得部１１で取得した識別情報ＵＩＤに基づいて、ゴルフ利用者同士の友達関係を示すゴルフ友達情報を参照する参照部１２と、ゴルフ友達情報に基づいて、所定の利用者と友達関係を有する直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1（第１の特定利用者）を特定し、直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1と友達関係を有する間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2（第２の特定利用者）を特定する特定部１３と、特定部１３で特定した直接ゴルフ友達Ｕg1と間接ゴルフ友達Ｕg2との関連性を示す関係図を所定の利用者の端末装置２のディスプレイ２５に表示させる表示制御部１４と、を備える。この場合、参照部１２は、記憶部１５に記憶されているゴルフ利用者情報テーブルＴＢＬ１１及びゴルフ友達情報テーブルＴＢＬ１２を参照する。具体的には、表示制御部１４は、上記関係図を表示するために必要な情報を含む応答を所定の利用者の端末装置２に送信する。
　この場合においても、管理サーバ１Ａは、第１実施形態において図１０を参照して説明したＳ１０９と同様に関係図を表示させるために必要な表示情報を生成する。この結果、第３実施形態においても第１実施形態と同様に、図３及び図１２に示すマイページを端末装置２のディスプレイ２５に表示させることができ、ゴルフ利用者は、ゴルフ友達の階層関係を容易に把握することが可能となる。 <Third Embodiment>
The service providing system 100A of the third embodiment described above is obtained by removing the external management server 3 from the service providing system 100A of the second embodiment. FIG. 21 shows a block diagram of a service providing system 100A according to the third embodiment.
