Various types of information stored in the user log management table TBLb may be deleted after a certain holding period (for example, 120 days) has elapsed.

Next, the first individual log file FL1 is generated for each golf user by sorting the stored contents of the user log management table TBLb using the action source identification information UID_From as a key. Similarly, the second individual log file FL2 is generated for each golf user by sorting the stored contents of the user log management table TBLb using the action destination identification information UID_To as a key.
In this embodiment, when a golf user operates the terminal device 2 and accesses a site provided by the management server 1, the direct golf chum Ug1 and the indirect golf chum Ug2 are displayed on the display unit of the terminal device 2. . At this time, based on the activity information described above, the golf activities of the direct golf chum Ug1 and the indirect golf chum Ug2 are evaluated based on the activity information described above. The evaluation in this embodiment is performed for the following items 1 to 6.

Item 1 is actually invited to golf or invited. Item 2 is an exchange frequency with a predetermined golf user in an application provided by the management server 1. Item 3 is the activity frequency in the application provided by the management server 1. Item 4 is the degree of proximity of the area where the predetermined golf user lives. Item 5 is the degree of proximity of age with a predetermined golf user. Item 6 is the frequency of going to golf.

The point table TBLp stores criteria for evaluating activities related to golf for each item. By referring to the point table TBLp, the activities of the direct golf chum Ug1 and the indirect golf chum Ug2 are converted into points. The Coefficients corresponding to the respective items are stored in the coefficient table TBLk. A point corresponding to each item is multiplied by a predetermined coefficient, and the multiplication results are added to obtain an evaluation value H. Although the coefficient can be determined as appropriate, in the present embodiment, item 1 has the largest coefficient, and the coefficient decreases in the order of item 2, item 3, item 4, item 5, and item 6.
The display reference information Gref is information indicating a rule for determining which position on the screen to display these friends based on the evaluation value.

Moreover, the management server 1 will acquire the identification information UID of a predetermined user, if the request | requirement which displays the friend relationship of a predetermined user is received from the terminal device 2 of a predetermined user (predetermined golf user). Based on the identification information UID acquired by the unit 11 and the acquisition unit 11, the reference unit 12 that refers to the SNS friend information managed by the external management server 3, and the golf user identification information UID stored in the storage unit 17 Based on the SNS friend information, a person corresponding to a golf user among SNS users who have a friendship with a predetermined user is directly identified as a golf friend Ug1 (first specific user), and the predetermined user Among SNS users who have friendships with SNS users who have friendships with SNS users (indirect SNS friends Uf2), those who correspond to golf users are designated as indirect golf friends Ug2 (second specific users). An evaluation unit 14 that evaluates an activity related to golf based on activity information indicating an activity related to golf (predetermined object) with respect to the specific specifying unit 13 and the direct golf chum Ug1 and the indirect golf chum Ug2 specified by the specifying unit 13; Based on the evaluation result of the evaluation unit 14, the determination unit 15 and the determination unit 15 determine the positions of the direct golf chum Ug1 and the indirect golf chum Ug2 displayed on the screen of the display unit of the terminal device 2. A display control unit 16 that displays a screen in which the golf chum Ug1 and the indirect golf chum Ug2 are directly arranged at a position on the screen on the terminal device 2 of a predetermined user. Specifically, the display control unit 16 generates information necessary for directly displaying the golf chum Ug1 and the indirect golf chum Ug2 at the position on the screen determined by the determination unit 15, and a display response including the information Is transmitted to the terminal device 2 of a predetermined user.
In the present embodiment, the evaluation target is the direct golf chum Ug1 and the indirect golf chum Ug2, but part of the evaluation may be the target of the evaluation, for example, may focus only on the direct golf chum Ug1, or Only those who have performed some kind of action such as posting during the period from the present to a predetermined time may be evaluated.

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, and friends of the SNS user An SNS friend information table TBL32 storing friend information indicating the relationship is provided. This SNS friend information table TBL32 shows the activity of the SNS user for building the friend relationship in SNS (2nd service). 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.

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 the different areas Y1 and Y2, a predetermined user can easily grasp the hierarchical friendship. Thus, the relationship diagram showing the hierarchical friendship is referred to as a golf friend map.

In this example, the golf chum Ug1 (golf chum GF1 to GF5) is directly displayed in the area Y1, but the display position is determined based on the activity information. That is, activities related to golf are evaluated, and the direct golf chum Ug1 having a higher evaluation result is displayed so as to be closer to a predetermined user displayed in the area X in the area Y1. This makes it possible to know at a glance who is directly enthusiastic about golf among the golf friends Ug1. In addition, the indirect golf chum Ug2 displayed in the area Y2 also evaluates activities related to golf in the same manner as the golf chum displayed in the area Y1, and the display position is determined based on the evaluation result.

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.

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.

FIG. 5 shows the data structure of the registration information table TBLa. A plurality of records are recorded in the registration information table TBLa. One record includes identification information UID that uniquely identifies a golf user, a round frequency, a practice frequency, a golf course with a round experience, and a club used. Here, the round frequency and the practice frequency are indicated by ranks.
The registration information is recorded in the registration information table TBLa when the golf user registers with the management server 1. FIG. 6 is a registration screen displayed on the display unit of the terminal device 2. This registration page is provided by the management server 1. In this example, the golf course is input in the input box b1, the round frequency and the practice frequency are input by selecting an item in the pull-down menu, and the club is registered by inputting in the input box b2. FIG. 7 shows the relationship between ranks and

options

1 and 2 of round frequency and practice frequency. For example, if option 1 is “month” and option 2 is “five times or more”, the rank is “6”, and this is recorded in the registration information table TBLa as the round frequency or practice frequency.

FIG. 8 shows the data structure of the user log management table TBLb. A plurality of records are recorded in the user log management table TBLb. One record indicates a record ID that uniquely identifies the record, action source identification information UID_From of the golf user who is the subject of various actions, action destination identification information UID_To of the other golf user of the action, and date and time of the action A time stamp, action type information kind indicating the type of action, a comment written by a golf user, and a news ID for specifying news are recorded in association with each other. By referring to the user log management table TBLb, who (action source identification information UID_From), who (action destination identification information UID_To, news ID), when (time stamp), and what action (action type information, comment) You can know what happened.

The action type information kind is recorded as follows. First, kind = 1 is recorded when another golf user is invited to golf using a button for inviting to golf. Second, kind = 2 is recorded when a golf report is posted using the report button. Third, kind = 3 is recorded when an intention is displayed using a like button for another golf user's golf report. 4thly, when posting a comment using a comment button with respect to the golf report of another golf user, kind = 4 is recorded. Fifth, when logging in, kind = 5 is recorded. Sixth, kind = 6 is recorded when an intention is displayed using a like button for news. Seventh, when a comment is posted on the news using the comment button, kind = 7 is recorded. Eighth, kind = 8 is recorded when an intention to go to golf is indicated using a button to go to.
In addition, since the action of a golf report and the action with respect to news are not with respect to another golf user, action destination identification information UID_To is not recorded.

In this embodiment, a golf user can freely write a comment about golf, and the written comment is posted as a golf report on a predetermined user (person) 's My Page or a golf friend's My Page. It has become so.

FIG. 9 shows an example of a golf report input screen displayed on the display unit of the terminal device 2. When the icon A1 is clicked, a golf report input box b3 is displayed. The icon A1 functions not only as the golf report button described above but also as a comment button.
When a comment is input in the input box b3 and the transmission button B6 is clicked, the action source identification information UID_From, the action type information kind, the comment, and the comment date / time are transmitted to the management server 1. The action type information kind may be generated by the CPU 30 of the management server 1. Further, the CPU 30 may issue a time stamp when adding a record to the user log management table TBLb. In this case, the comment date and time need not be transmitted from the terminal device 2.

When a golf report is made, an icon a1 indicating that the golf chum has made a golf report is displayed in the vicinity of the golf chum icon for a predetermined period. In the example shown in FIG. 9, the golf chum GF2 has recently posted a golf report. Further, the icon A2 is used to convey an intention display such as “I want to go golf” to a golf chum. When the icon A2 is clicked, an icon a2 indicating that the golf chum wants to go to golf is displayed in the vicinity of the golf chum icon as shown in FIG. 9 for a predetermined period. In this example, it can be seen that the golf chum GF1 has recently wished to go to golf. The icon A2 functions as the button that the user wants to go to.

In the present embodiment, it is also included in the usage information that the golf user clicks on an icon for displaying his / her intention. For example, if the identification information UID of the golf chum GF1 is “2zz99x999”, when the golf chum GF1 clicks on the icon A2, the record shown in the record ID = 000005 shown in FIG. 8 is recorded. In this record, “8” is recorded as action type information kind. In this example, the click of the icon A2 is managed in the same format as other posts. However, the flag indicating that the click was performed and the date and time of the click may be associated with each other and recorded in the user log management table TBLb. You may record and manage on another table.

FIG. 10 shows an example of an input screen for posting a comment on the news. When icon A3 is clicked, news, a golf report, etc. are displayed on a timeline on the left side of the screen. When one of the displayed news items is selected, the news details and comment input box b4 are displayed as shown in FIG. When a comment is input in the input box b4 and the transmission button B6 is clicked, the action source identification information UID_From, the news ID, and the comment are transmitted to the management server 1. The management server 1 adds a record to the user log management table TBLb based on the information transmitted from the terminal device 2. For example, if the action source identification information UID_From is “5zz99x999” and the news ID is “NEWS0001”, a record with record ID = 000003 shown in FIG. 8 is added. In this record, “7” is recorded as action type information kind. When the like button B10 shown in FIG. 10 is clicked, a record with record ID = 000007 shown in FIG. 8 is added. In this record, “6” is recorded as action type information kind.

Next, I will explain how to invite golf. For example, when a predetermined golf user X clicks on the icon GF3 of the direct golf chum Ug1 shown in FIG. 3, a screen for inviting the golf chum corresponding to the icon GF3 to golf pops up as shown in FIG. In this example, the golf chum's icon is displayed in the area C1, and the golf chum's name “Koichi Sato” is displayed in the area C2. If there is a post from the golf chum, the content of the area C3 is displayed. This example shows a case where there is no posting. Then, when the cancel button B12 is clicked, the pop-up screen is canceled and the screen returns to the golf friend map shown in FIG.

On the other hand, when button B11 invited to golf is clicked, the screen shown in FIG. 12 is displayed. In the area C6, “Please select a person to invite to golf with Mr. Koichi Sato” is displayed. Further, in the area C7, the direct golf chum Ug1 and indirect golf displayed on the golf friend map shown in FIG. The friend Ug2 icon is displayed. This further prompts the user to select a golf user to invite to golf.

Thereafter, when the direct golf chum Ug1 and indirect golf chum Ug2 icons are clicked, for example, a screen shown in FIG. 13 is displayed. In this example, three golf users displayed in the area C7 are selected. A check mark is displayed on the upper right of the icon of the selected golf user. When the cancel button B14 is clicked in this state, the invitation to golf is not executed, and the screen returns to the golf friend map shown in FIG.

On the other hand, when the OK button B13 is clicked, the identification information UID of the golf user of the terminal device 2 is set as the action source identification information UID_From, the identification information UID of the selected four persons is set as the action destination identification information UID_To, and the action type information kind is set to “ 1 ”is transmitted from the terminal device 2 to the management server 3. When the management server 3 receives the notification, the management server 3 adds a record. For example, if the identification information UID of the golf user (predetermined golf user) of the terminal device 2 is “6zz99x999” and the identification information of Koichi Sato is “7zz99x999”, the record ID shown in FIG. 8 corresponds to “000010”. Is recorded in the user log management table TBLb.

Next, the first individual log file FL1 and the second individual log file FL2 will be described.
The first individual log file FL1 is a sort of the user log management table TBLb using the action source identification information UID_From as a key, and the second individual log file FL2 is a user log management table using the action destination identification information UID_To as a key. TBLb is sorted. For example, if the action source identification information UID_From is “6zz99x999”, the first individual log file FL1 is as shown in FIG. 14A, and if the action destination identification information UID_To is “2zz99x999”, the second individual log The file FL2 is as shown in FIG. 14B.

Next, the point table TBLp will be described. The point table TBLp is composed of point tables TBLp1 to TBLp9. The point table TBLp1 stores the points of the item 1 that are actually invited to golf or the items 1 for evaluating whether or not they are invited and the determination criteria in association with each other. FIG. 15 shows the stored contents of the point table TBLp1. Specifically, the relationship between the difference date Z1 from the date invited to golf or the date invited to golf to the current date and the points is stored in the point table TBLp1. For example, if the difference date Z1 is 40 days, the point is “15”.

In the process of specifying the item 1 point, first, a record in which the identification information UID of the golf user to be displayed matches the action source identification information UID_From is extracted from the first individual log file FL1, and the target A record in which the identification information UID of the golf user to be matched with the action source identification information UID_To is extracted from the second individual log file FL2. Secondly, a record in which “1” is recorded in the action type information kind among the extracted records is specified. Third, the difference date Z1 is specified based on the time stamp recorded in the specified record and the current date. Fourthly, the point corresponding to the identified difference date Z1 is identified with reference to the point table TBLp1. Fifth, the total of the specified points is calculated and set as the point P1 of item 1.

In this example, the same point was given to the case where the golf user to be displayed invited to golf and the case invited to golf, but the case where the golf user invited to golf was different from the case invited to golf. Points may be awarded. For example, when a golf user to be displayed invites to golf, a point corresponding to the identified difference date Z1 is specified with reference to the point table TBLp1a shown in FIG. May be specified by referring to the point table TBLp1b shown in FIG. 16 to identify the point corresponding to the specified difference date Z1. Specifically, the records extracted from the first individual log file FL1 specify points by referring to the point table TBLp1a, and the records extracted from the second individual log file FL2 refer to the point table TBLp1b. What is necessary is just to specify a point.

Next, the point table TBLp2 stores a point of item 2 that is an exchange frequency with a predetermined golf user in an application provided by the management server 1 and a determination criterion in association with each other. FIG. 17 shows the stored contents of the point table TBLp2. Specifically, action type information kind, determination criteria, and points are stored in association with each other. In this embodiment, there are “likes” and comments of golf users to be displayed with respect to postings of predetermined golf users as exchanges between predetermined golf users and golf users to be displayed. Here, the posting of a predetermined golf user includes posting of a comment on a golf report or news.
The record whose action type information kind in the point table TBLp2 is “3” records the relationship between the number of executions of “Like” Z2 and points. In addition, a record whose action type information kind is “4” records the relationship between the comment posting count Z3 and points.

The process of specifying the item 2 point is roughly divided into a process of specifying a point related to “Like” and a process of specifying a point related to a comment. First, regarding the process of specifying a point regarding “Like”, first, the first individual log file FL1 and the second individual log file FL2 of a predetermined golf user are specified. Second, a record having action type information kind of “3” is extracted from the first individual log file FL1 and the second individual log file FL2. Thirdly, for the record extracted from the first individual log file FL1, a record in which the identification information UID of the golf user to be displayed matches the action destination identification information UID_To is extracted. Fourthly, for the record extracted from the second individual log file FL2, a record in which the identification information UID of the golf user to be displayed matches the action source identification information UID_From is extracted. Fifth, the time stamp is referred to further narrow down records within a predetermined period (for example, 90 days) from the current date. Sixth, the number of records that have been narrowed down is counted as the execution count Z2. Seventh, the point corresponding to the execution count Z2 is specified with reference to the point table TBLp2.

Next, in the process of specifying points related to comments, first, a first individual log file FL1 and a second individual log file FL2 of a predetermined golf user are specified. Second, a record having action type information kind of “4” is extracted from the first individual log file FL1 and the second individual log file FL2. Thirdly, for the record extracted from the first individual log file FL1, a record in which the identification information UID of the golf user to be displayed matches the action destination identification information UID_To is extracted. Fourthly, for the record extracted from the second individual log file FL2, a record in which the identification information UID of the golf user to be displayed matches the action source identification information UID_From is extracted. Fifth, the time stamp is referred to further narrow down records within a predetermined period (for example, 90 days) from the current date. Sixth, the number of narrowed-down records is counted as a comment posting count Z3. Seventh, the point corresponding to the comment posting count Z3 is specified with reference to the point table TBLp2.
Then, the total of the points obtained by the process of specifying the points related to “Like” and the points specified by the process of specifying the points related to the comment is calculated as the point P2 of the item 2.
In the case of an action in which a predetermined golf user “likes” or commented on a golf user to be displayed, and the golf user to be displayed “likes” to a predetermined golf user. Different points may be set depending on the commented action.

Next, the point table TBLp3 stores the point of item 3 which is the activity frequency in the application provided by the management server 1 and the determination criterion in association with each other. FIG. 18 shows the stored contents of the point table TBLp3. In the evaluation of the activity in the application of the present embodiment, the number of golf reports, the number of executions of “Like” to news, the number of comments to news, and the number of logins are evaluated. Specifically, the point table TBLp3 stores the number of times Z4 and points for each evaluation object in association with each other.

The process of specifying the item 3 point first specifies the first individual log file FL1 of the golf user to be displayed. Second, action type information kind from the first individual log file FL1 indicates “2” indicating a golf report, “6” indicating “Like” to news, “7” indicating comment on news, and login. Each record of “5” is extracted. Third, the number of records is counted for each action type information kind. The count result is the number of times Z4. Fourthly, a point corresponding to the number of times Z4 is specified for each action type information kind with reference to the point table TBLp3. Fifth, the sum of the specified points is calculated and set as item 3 point P3.

As described above, the user log management table TBLb deletes the record when the retention period elapses, but calculates the point of item 3 based on the activity of a predetermined period (for example, 30 days) shorter than that. It may be. Further, the golf report and the “Like” for the news may have individual point tables and may be given different points. In addition, different points may be given by using another point table only for the number of logins.

Next, the point table TBLp4 stores a predetermined golf user and the degree of proximity in the area where the golf user to be displayed lives in association with the point. FIG. 19 shows the stored contents of the point table TBLp4. In FIG. 19, the index Z5 indicates the degree of proximity, Z5 = 0 indicates that the predetermined golf user and the golf user to be displayed are the same prefecture, and Z5 = 1 The predetermined golf user and the display target golf user are neighboring prefectures, and Z5 = 2 indicates that the predetermined golf user and the display target golf user are not the same or neighboring prefectures. Show.
Further, the same, neighboring, and other prefectures are determined with reference to, for example, the point table TBLp5 shown in FIG. Or you may determine with reference to point table TBLp6 shown in FIG.

The process of specifying the point of item 4 first specifies the prefecture of the address of the predetermined golf user and the address of the golf user to be displayed with reference to the golf user information table TBL11 To do. The address recorded in the golf user information table TBL11 may be acquired from the external management server 3 or may be registered in the management server 1. If the address has not been input or is not disclosed, the item 4 point is set to “0”. Second, with reference to the point table TBLp5, the index Z5 corresponding to the prefecture of the address of the predetermined golf user and the prefecture of the address of the golf user to be displayed is specified. Third, referring to the point table TBLp4, a point P4 corresponding to the index Z5 is acquired.

Next, the point table TBLp7 stores the degree of proximity of the age between the predetermined golf user and the golf user to be displayed in association with the point. FIG. 22 shows the stored contents of the point table TBLp5. In FIG. 22, an index Z6 indicates a result of subtracting the age of a predetermined golf user from the age of the golf user to be displayed. Z6 = 0 is a case where the age of the predetermined golf user and the golf user to be displayed is the same. When the index Z6 is negative, the display target golf user is younger than the predetermined golf user. When the index Z6 is positive, the display target golf user is older than the predetermined golf user. is there. In this example, the golf user to be displayed is the same year → younger than 3 years old → older than 3 years old → younger than 5 years old → younger than 5 years old → younger than 5 years old → older than 5 years old The points are set higher in the order of. This is in consideration of the possibility of consenting when inviting to golf in the display priority order. In other words, if the age is the same, the topic is the same, so it is more likely to accept when invited to golf, and if there is an age difference, the younger is more likely to accept than the older It is considered that there are cases where it is considered.

First, the process of specifying the point of item 5 refers to the golf user information table TBL11, specifies the age from the birthday of the predetermined golf user, and the birthday of the golf user to be displayed. Identify age from. The birthday recorded in the golf user information table TBL11 may be acquired from the external management server 3 or may be registered in the management server 1. Also, if the birthday is not input or is not disclosed, the point of item 5 is set to “0”. Second, the age of a predetermined golf user and the age of the golf user to be displayed are specified based on the current date and the birthday. Third, an index Z6 (= age of golf user to be displayed−age of predetermined golf user) is calculated. Fourth, referring to the point table TBLp7, the point P5 corresponding to the index Z6 is acquired.

The point table TBLp7 does not consider the gender of the predetermined golf user and the gender of the golf user to be displayed, but the item 5 may be evaluated in consideration of this. That is, for example, if a given golf user is a man, younger women are more likely to invite to golf than older women, and if they are of the same sex, they are closer to their ages and younger are more likely to invite to golf. It is taken into consideration that there is a case. Further, it is considered that when a predetermined golf user is a woman, an older man is more likely to invite than a younger man, and if the same golfer is the same age, it may be easier to invite an older man.
When considering gender, a point table TBLp8 shown in FIG. 23 may be used instead of the point table TBLp7.

Next, the point table TBLp9 stores the round frequency and practice frequency of the golf user to be displayed in association with the points. FIG. 24 shows the stored contents of the point table TBLp9. In FIG. 24, the index Z7 indicates the result of subtracting the rank of the round frequency of a predetermined golf user from the rank of the round frequency of the golf user to be displayed. The index Z8 indicates the result of subtracting the rank of the practice frequency of a predetermined golf user from the rank of the practice frequency of the golf user to be displayed. In this embodiment, the points given are set higher as the ranks of the round frequency and the practice frequency are closer. This is because a golf user who has close enthusiasm for golf and is close to a predetermined golf user is preferentially displayed.

First, the process of specifying the point of item 6 refers to the registration information table TBLa, and acquires the rank of the round frequency and the rank of the practice frequency for a predetermined golf user and a golf user to be displayed. Second, the index Z7 and the index Z8 are calculated. Thirdly, referring to the point table TBLp9, the points corresponding to the calculated index Z7 and index Z8 are specified. The sum of the fourth specified points is calculated as the point P6 of item 6.

After calculating the points P1 to P6 of the items 1 to 6 described above, the CPU 30 refers to the coefficient table TBLk shown in FIG. 25 and acquires the coefficients k1 to k6. Then, an evaluation value H is calculated according to the following formula. H = k1 * P1 + k2 * P2 + k3 * P3 + k4 * P4 + k5 * P5 + k6 * P6
Then, the golf users to be displayed are sorted in the order of the evaluation value H, and the golf chum Ug1 and the indirect golf chum Ug2 are arranged directly on the golf friend map according to the display reference information Gref. In the display reference information Gref of the present embodiment, the golf chum Ug1 is directly arranged in the region Y1 shown in FIG. 3 at a predetermined position in descending order of the evaluation value H, and the indirect golf chum Ug2 is high in the region Y2. It is determined to arrange in order at predetermined positions.
As described above, the direct golf chum Ug1 and the indirect golf chum Ug2 are independently arranged in different areas, and the activity information is evaluated and arranged based on the evaluation result. It becomes possible to arrange | position on a golf friend map in the aspect which is easy to grasp | ascertain a golf user.

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. 26 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.

FIG. 27 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. 27, the SNS user whose UID is “0zz99x999” transmits a friend application to the SNS user whose UID is “6zz99x999” and is approved.

When storing the friend relationship, storing the action source (friend request sender: friend request transmitter) and the action destination (friend request request: friend request receiver) 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. 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: Display processing>
30 and 31 show an operation sequence of the service providing system related to 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.

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. 30, 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.

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). .

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 the identification information UID is recorded as an action source or an action destination. The existing 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.

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. 32, 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).

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.

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. 33, 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).

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.

When the management server 1 receives the SNS user information of the indirect SNS friend Uf2 (S107), as shown in FIG. 31, 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. Further, by referring to the golf user information table TBL11, among the identification information UID of the indirect SNS friend Uf2 specified in S105, the information that matches the golf user identification information UID is identified as the identification information UID of the indirect golf friend Ug2. And In this way, the direct golf chum Ug1 and the indirect golf chum Ug2 are specified as shown in FIG.

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 the display information which arrange | positions a golf user's profile image on a 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.

First, the CPU 30 broadly classifies the direct golf chum Ug1 and the indirect golf chum Ug2 and generates a relationship diagram in which the profile images of all the direct golf chum Ug1 and the indirect golf chum Ug2 are arranged on a virtual screen. .
The icon of the profile image of the direct golf chum Ug1 is made larger than the icon of the profile image of the 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.

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 persons that can be displayed in one area is determined in advance, but may be changed to any number. Here, the area | region which displays golf chum Ug1 directly is called a 1st display area, and the area | region which displays indirect golf chum Ug2 is called a 2nd display area.

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, the area r2 corresponds to the second display area or the first display area depending on the displayed screen area R1 or R2. When the button B1 is clicked in this state, the screen area R1 is displayed on the display 25.

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.

In the arrangement of the golf chum, the CPU 30 evaluates the golf chum according to the predetermined parameter according to the display reference information Gref stored in the storage unit 17, and sequentially determines the display priority determined from the evaluation result. Processing for displaying in a predetermined area is performed.
The parameters specified by the display reference information Gref and used as evaluation criteria include usage information (items 1 to 3) and registration information (items 4 to 6). The calculation of the evaluation value H based on these is as described with reference to FIGS.
In the example shown in FIG. 3, the closer to the lower side of the region Y1, the higher the display priority. That is, the evaluation value H is larger in the order of golf chum GF1 → GF2 → GF3 → GF4 → GF5.

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 (golf friend map) 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 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. 27, the profile image of the golf chum Ug1 is directly placed on the front side, and the profile image of the indirect golf chum Ug2 is placed behind the profile image of the golf chum Ug1 directly. A 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 direct golf chum Ug1 of a predetermined user, the number of people is usually larger than that of 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: Invitation processing>
35A and 35B 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 A4 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).

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.

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.

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. 36 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 transmission 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. 35A. 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).

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).

As shown in FIG. 35B, 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.

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. 38 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.

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.

<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.

FIG. 39 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 17 includes the golf chum information table TBL12. FIG. 40 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.

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.

In the display process, first, as shown in FIG. 42, a direct SNS friend Uf1 and an indirect SNS friend Uf2 of a predetermined user are specified. FIG. 41 shows the contents of display information generation processing executed by the CPU 30 of the management server 1A.

CPU30 extracts the person who is direct SNS friend Uf1 or indirect SNS friend Uf2, and 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 is filtered by the SNS friend in this way is because 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. 43, 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.

Then, CPU30 extracts the person who is direct SNS friend Uf1 or indirect SNS friend Uf2, and 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. Of the indirect golf chum Ug2, the indirect golf chum Ug2 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.
As described above, the CPU 30 executes S130 and S131, thereby obtaining the golf chum information (first specific relation information) read from the storage unit 17 and the SNS friend information (second specific relation information) referred to by the reference unit 12. Based on a direct SNS friend Uf1 who is a SNS user (second service user) having a friendship relationship (specific relationship) with a predetermined user, and an SNS user who has a friendship relationship with the direct SNS friend Uf1. When a certain indirect SNS friend Uf2 is a specific SNS user, a golf user who has a friendship relationship with a predetermined user (first service user) and who is a specific SNS user is directly designated as a golf friend Ug1 ( The first specific user) is a golf user who directly has a friendship with the golf chum Ug1 and who is a specific SNS user. Functions as specifying unit 13 for specifying a second specific user).

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 processing of S109 described with reference to FIG. As a result, in the second embodiment as well as the first embodiment, the My Page shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 34 can be displayed on the display 25 of the terminal device 2, and the golf user has a hierarchical relationship of golf friends. Can be easily grasped.

<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. 45 shows a block diagram of a service providing system 100A according to the third embodiment.

The storage unit 17 stores a program for controlling the management server 1A. When the management server 1A receives a request to display a friendship relationship of a predetermined user from the terminal device 2 of a predetermined user (predetermined first service user), the management server 1A acquires the identification information UID of the predetermined user Based on the identification information UID acquired by the part 11 and the acquisition part 11, the reference part 12 which refers to the golf chum information which shows the friend relationship between golf users, and a predetermined user and friend based on golf chum information Based on activity information indicating activities relating to golf (predetermined object) for the specifying unit 13 that specifies a direct golf chum Ug1 (first specific user) having a relationship and the direct golf chum Ug1 specified by the specifying unit 13 , An evaluation unit 14 that evaluates activities related to golf, a determination unit 13 that determines the position of a golf chum displayed on the screen of the display unit of the terminal device 2 based on the evaluation result of the evaluation unit 14, The display control part 16 which displays the screen which has arrange | positioned the golf chum in the position on the screen determined by the determination part 13 on the terminal device 2 of a predetermined user is provided. Specifically, the display control unit 16 generates information necessary for displaying the screen, and transmits a display response including the information to the terminal device 2 of a predetermined user.
In this case, the reference unit 12 may refer to the golf chum information stored in the golf chum information table TBL12. The activity information includes at least one of registration information recorded in the registration information table TBLa and usage information recorded in the user log management table TBLb. According to this management server 1A, since the golf chum can be arranged and displayed in the order in which activities relating to golf are active, when there are a lot of golf chum, the golf chum eager to golf is displayed with priority. It becomes possible.

Moreover, in the management server 1A mentioned above, when direct golf chum Ug1 and indirect golf chum Ug2 are considered, it is preferable to comprise as follows. Based on the identification information UID of the direct golf chum Ug1, the reference unit 12 can directly refer to the golf chum information indicating the friend relationship with the golf chum Ug1 (the golf chum information indicating the friend relationship is stored in the golf chum information table TBL12). Have been). The specifying unit 13 specifies the indirect golf chum Ug2 having a friendship directly with the golf chum Ug1 based on the golf chum information indicating the friendship with the golf chum. The evaluation unit 14 evaluates activities related to golf for the direct golf chum Ug1 and the indirect golf chum Ug2 specified by the specifying unit 13 based on activity information indicating activities related to golf.
The determination unit 15 determines the positions of the direct golf chum Ug1 and the indirect golf chum Ug2 displayed on the screen of the display unit of the terminal device 2 based on the evaluation result of the evaluation unit 14. The display control unit 16 generates information necessary for directly displaying the golf chum Ug1 and the indirect golf chum Ug2 at the position on the screen determined by the determination unit 15, and displays a display response including the information as a predetermined user. Is transmitted to the terminal device 2.
According to this management server 1A, the display position of the indirect golf chum Ug2 can also be determined according to the activity relating to golf. Generally, the number of indirect golf chum Ug2 is larger than the number of direct golf chum Ug1, but according to the present embodiment, indirect golf chum Ug2 is also indirect golf chum Ug2 in order of active golf activities. Can be displayed with priority.

<Fourth embodiment>
The service providing system 100A of the third embodiment described above includes the acquisition unit 11, the reference unit 12, the specifying unit 13, the evaluation unit 14, the determination unit 15, and the display control unit 16 in the management server 1A, and generates display information. . In contrast, in the fourth embodiment, these functions are provided in the terminal device 2A.

For example, you may add the mark which shows that it is a specific invitation candidate to the icon of a specific invitation candidate.
Further, as shown in FIG. 53, the friend list is displayed, the invitation list is displayed, the band of the friend to be invited is dragged, and dropped from the friend list to the invitation list so that the friend list is displayed. good.

(7) In each embodiment and each modification described above, the golf information service has been described as an example of the service provided by the

management server

1 or 1A. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the management server 1 Alternatively, 1A may provide any service. For example, the present invention can be applied to everything that establishes a specific relationship on an application based on a common theme among users. Common themes may be sports such as marathons and badminton, hobbies such as shogi and games, and may be related to business. Further, the specific relationship is not limited to the friend relationship. For example, a relationship between a boss and a subordinate may be used, or a relationship between a wholesaler and a retailer may be used. In short, any relationship can be used as long as it is established based on a certain rule.

(8) In each embodiment and each modification mentioned above,

management server

1 or 1A and terminal device 2A are taken as an example as a device used in order to provide a user (golf user) with a service about a predetermined object. Although described, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be an information processing apparatus such as a personal computer. Such an information processing device is similar to the terminal device 2A shown in FIG. If the same reference numerals are given to the same components as those of the terminal device 2A shown in FIG. 46, the information processing device is configured as follows.

A reference unit 202 that refers to specific relationship information indicating a specific relationship between each other, and a specifying unit 203 that specifies a specific user having a specific relationship with a predetermined user based on the specific relationship information referred to by the reference unit 202 The specific user specified by the specifying unit 203 is specified based on the activity information indicating the activity related to the predetermined target, the evaluation unit 204 that evaluates the activity related to the predetermined target, and the evaluation result of the evaluation unit 204 And a display control unit 206 that causes the display unit 208 to display a screen on which the user is arranged. In the information processing apparatus, an image may be displayed on an external display, and therefore the display unit is not an essential component. Further, the specific relationship information may be acquired from an external device.

(9) In the embodiment and the modification described above, the golf friend map shown in FIG. 3 has been described as an example of my page, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIGS. 54 and 55, the distances from the icons of the golf users GF1 to GF5 may be determined from the predetermined user S icon according to the evaluation result of the evaluation unit 14. In this example, the evaluation unit 14 determines the display priority in the order of golf chum GF1 → GF2 → GF3 → GF4 → GF5 which is the golf chum Ug1 directly. And as an area | region which displays a golf chum, the golf chum with the highest priority is set to area | region P1, the golf chum with the next highest priority is set to area | region P2, the golf chum with the next highest priority is set to area | region P3, and next. A golf chum having the highest priority is displayed in the area P3, a golf chum having the next highest priority is displayed in the area P4, and a golf chum having the next highest priority is displayed in the area P5.
The golf chum GF1 to GF5 and the indirect golf chum Ug2 may be connected by a line segment as shown in FIGS. Thereby, it becomes possible to grasp a hierarchical friendship more clearly.

(10) In the embodiment and the modification described above, the activity database DB includes the registration information table TBLa and the user log management table TBLb, and functions as an information management unit that manages registration information and usage information. The invention is not limited to this, and the activity database DB (information management unit) may manage at least one of registration information and usage information.
In this case, the activity information includes at least one of usage information and registration information. And evaluation part 14 (204) evaluates activity about golf about a part or all of direct golf chum Ug1 and indirect golf chum Ug2 based on at least one of the use information and registration information which an information management part manages. May be.

(11) In the embodiment and the modification described above, the action type information kind is specified by clicking various dedicated buttons. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the action type information kind may be specified by sending a message. For example, the input form shown in FIG. 56 may be displayed, and one of the display items in the category pull-down menu may be selected. In this case, the action type information kind is determined by selecting an item in the pull-down menu. In the example of FIG. 56, the pull-down menu displays three options for inviting to golf, golf report, and gear report. The gear report is used when posting about a club such as “I bought a club!” Or “I was good with XXX driver!”.

(12) In the embodiment and the modification described above, the first individual log file FL1 and the second individual log file FL2 are generated for each golf user, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the evaluation value H The necessary information may be extracted from the user log management table TBLb. Moreover, activity database DB may be comprised by the some separate table divided | segmented for every action classification information kind, and the individual log file for every golf user may be produced | generated about each of several individual table. In this case, the update timing can be set for each individual log file. For example, when the update frequency of the individual log file related to the golf report is increased, the display priority can be increased for the golf user who has performed the golf report.

(13) In the embodiment and the modification described above, the evaluation value H is calculated based on the items 1 to 6, but the evaluation value H may be calculated based on at least one of these items 1 to 6. Good. For example, the evaluation value H may be calculated based only on the item 1, or the evaluation value H may be calculated based on the item 1 and the item 3.
Furthermore, the display priority order may be determined based on the date and time of the action. In this case, first, the CPU 30 refers to the user log management table TBLb and extracts a record in which the identification information UID of the golf user to be displayed matches the action source identification information UID_From. Second, the CPU 30 extracts a record with the latest time stamp. 3rdly, this is performed about all the golf users used as a display object, the latest record extracted is sorted in order with the newest recording date, and a display priority is determined. Note that the CPU 30 may calculate the difference between the recording date and time and the current time, and sort the records in ascending order of the difference time, instead of sorting the latest extracted records in order of the newest time stamp.

Moreover, the following aspects may be sufficient as the aspect which determines a display priority based on utilization information and registration information. In this case, the round frequency recorded in the registration information table TBLb is not a rank but a conversion date obtained by converting the round frequency into the number of days. When the round frequency is input by the pull-down menu shown in FIG. 6, it is converted into days by the table shown in FIG.
First, the CPU 30 refers to the registration information table TBLa, extracts a record that matches the identification information UID of the golf user to be displayed, and specifies round information of the extracted record. Secondly, the CPU 30 refers to the user log management table TBLb, and among the records whose action type information kind indicates a golf report, the identification information UID of the golf user to be displayed matches the action source identification information UID_From. The records to be extracted. 3rdly, CPU30 performs this about all the golf users used as a display target, and extracts the record with the newest time stamp for every action origin identification information UID_From. Fourth, the CPU 30 calculates the elapsed date from the difference between the recording date of the latest extracted record and the current date. For example, if the recording date of the golf report to be recorded when the current date is March 29, 2012 is January 15, 2012, the elapsed date is 74 days.

Fifth, the CPU 30 calculates the difference between the elapsed date and the round frequency conversion date as the difference date for each of the latest extracted records. For example, if the elapsed date is 74 days and the round frequency conversion date is 30 days, the difference date is -44 days. If the difference date is a negative value, considering the round frequency, it is a timing when the golf user wants to go to golf. And it can be estimated that the smaller the difference date is, the higher the degree of want to go to golf. Sixth, the CPU 30 sorts the records in ascending order of difference date. Seventh, the CPU 30 determines the display priority in the order of the sorted records. Thereby, since a golf user is arrange | positioned on the golf friend map of my page in order of the grade which wants to go to golf, a golf user has a high possibility of agreeing when inviting to golf on a golf friend map. There is an advantage that you can know at a glance.
