The second terminal device 3 includes a second storage unit 30, a second reception unit 31, a second processing unit 32, a second transmission unit 33, a second reception unit 34, and a second output unit 35.

In this specification, the point processing device is a point or coupon processing device, the first point storage unit is a first point or first coupon storage unit, the second point storage unit is a second point or second coupon storage unit, the point Alternatively, the coupon giving unit is a point or coupon giving unit, the point converting unit is a point or coupon converting unit, the first point acquiring unit is a first point or first coupon acquiring unit, and the second point acquiring unit is a second point or second coupon. The acquisition unit and the point processing unit may be referred to as a point or coupon processing unit, and the point disappearing unit may be referred to as a point or coupon extinguishing unit.

The user information storage unit 101 that constitutes the point processing device 1 can store one or more user information that is information about the user. The user information usually has a user identifier that identifies the user. The user identifier is, for example, an ID, name, telephone number, mail address, or the like. The user information includes, for example, a user rank that is a user rank, a user profile of the user, a user point, usage information indicating a usage status of the point, friend information, and the like. Usage information includes, for example, the number of times a product has been purchased using points, the total number of points used, and the number of times a product has been purchased using points for a certain period (for example, the last year or the last month). The total number of points used in a certain period (for example, the last year, the last month, etc.), information on the store / company that used the points, and the like. The friend information is information about the user's friend, for example, the number of friends, whether the influencer is a person who has an influence on others, and the degree of influence that is the degree of influence on others. . The user information may be input by any means. A friend here is someone who has some kind of relationship and is widely understood. That is, a friend may include a person who has never met but is connected to the internet. Further, the friend may include a person who has a relationship such as a relative relationship such as a parent-child, a brother, and a cousin.

The first point storage unit 102 can store the first point. The 1st point storage part 102 can usually store a 1st point for every user. The first point storage unit 102 holds, for example, one or more first point information having a first ID that is a first identifier and a first point. Here, the first point is a point having a different property from the second point described later. The two types of points having different properties are points having different generation means, points having different usage targets, points having different availability, and the like. The first point is a point based on information received by the first means, for example. The first means is, for example, an application (hereinafter referred to as “app” as appropriate). The first means is, for example, game machines such as pachinko machines and pachislot machines, and hardware such as game machines. Furthermore, the first means may be software other than an application (for example, middleware, OS, etc.).

That is, the first point is a point based on an input to the application, for example. The application is an application installed in the first terminal device 2. The application is, for example, a game application. Moreover, a 1st point is a point based on the input to the 1st terminal device 2, for example. The first point is, for example, a provisional point, which is a point that cannot be used for purchasing goods or services. The two types of points with different usage targets are, for example, points that can be used for purchasing products and services and points that can be used for applications such as games. Moreover, 1st ID is application ID which identifies the application installed in the 1st terminal device 2, for example. The application ID is different for each first terminal device 2. The application ID is different for each application. The first ID may be a user identifier that identifies the user. The first point information may have a user identifier.

The first point storage unit 102 may be considered to store the first point or the first coupon.

The second point storage unit 103 can store the second point. The 2nd point storage part 103 can store a 2nd point for every user normally. The second point storage unit 103 holds, for example, one or more second point information having a second ID that is a second identifier and a second point. Here, the second point is a point based on information received by a second means different from the first means. The second means is, for example, a card reading means. For example, card information is read from a card at the time of purchase of goods or services. The second means may be, for example, an IR receiver, a wireless receiver (particularly a short-range wireless receiver), or the like.

The second point is, for example, a point acquired upon receipt of purchase information that is information on purchase of goods or services. The second point is a point acquired in response to reading of a card (for example, an IC card), for example. The second point is a point received by the receiver by wireless communication or the like, for example.

The second point is, for example, an actual point, which is a point that can be used for purchasing goods and services. Moreover, 2nd ID is card ID which identifies a card, for example. This card is, for example, a card (for example, an IC card) used for giving or using points. This card is a card held by the user of the first terminal device 2. Moreover, 2nd ID is ID of the terminal device which the user corresponding to a receiver hold | maintains, for example. The second ID may be a user identifier. The second ID is usually different from the first ID, but may be the same as the first ID.

Further, it may be considered that the second point storage unit 103 can store a second point or a second coupon that is a point or a coupon based on information received by a second means different from the receiving unit 107. Here, the second point may be considered to include the second coupon.

The set information storage unit 104 can store one or more sets of set information. The set information is a set of a first ID and a second ID. When the first ID and the second ID are the same information, the point processing device 1 does not have the set information storage unit 104.

The hierarchization condition storage unit 105 can store the hierarchization conditions. A hierarchized condition is a set of hierarchized conditions. For example, before the user receives points, it is necessary to satisfy not only one condition but also this hierarchization condition. By using this hierarchization condition, the object of the present invention can be achieved. The hierarchization condition has conditions from the first to the n-th (n is a natural number of 2 or more). The first condition is referred to as the first condition, and the nth condition is referred to as the nth condition. Further, the hierarchization condition approaches to satisfy the second condition when the first condition is satisfied, approaches to satisfy the third condition when the second condition is satisfied, and sets the (n−1) th condition. The condition is such that when it is satisfied, the nth condition is approached. Further, in the stratification condition, normally, after satisfying the first condition, when approaching to satisfy the second condition, information for satisfying the first condition is cleared. In addition, in the hierarchization condition, when the mth condition is normally satisfied, information for satisfying the first to (m−1) th conditions is cleared. The contents of the first condition to the nth condition are not limited. Note that “clear” is usually deletion, but may be subtraction processing or the like.

The result storage unit 106 can store one or more sheets. A sheet corresponds to the collection of one or more items. The sheet is, for example, information on a mount on which an item to be collected is pasted. The sheet may be an item list for grouping and collecting one or more items, for example. The sheet may be called a collection or a mount. In addition, the sheet has, for example, one or more item identifiers that identify items to be collected. In addition, the sheet includes, for example, information on items that are collected. The collected item information may be a flag indicating that the item is being collected, or the item itself being collected. The result storage unit 106 can store one or more sheets for each user. For example, the result storage unit 106 stores one or more sheets in association with the user identifier, the first ID, or the second ID. Moreover, it is suitable for a sheet | seat to have time information which is the information regarding a time. The time information is information indicating a period during which items can be collected in the sheet. An item may be called an object. The item is, for example, a badge, a pattern, an object used in a game, or the like.

The accepting unit 107 accepts input information that is information related to input. The input information may be the input itself or information corresponding to the input (for example, information indicating that the application has been activated). It is preferable that the input information is an application activation instruction or information indicating that the application has been activated. The input information may be information indicating that the condition (any one or more conditions from the first condition to the nth condition) is satisfied or not satisfied. Also, the input information may be an application information browsing instruction, information input to the application, an instruction, or the like. Further, the input information may be information that the information output by the application is browsed, information that is browsed, or the like. The receiving unit 107 normally receives a first ID or user identifier and input information. The reception here is usually reception from the first terminal device 2.

Further, the reception unit 107 may receive a user identifier and a first ID. In addition, the reception unit 107 may receive a user identifier and a second ID. Moreover, the reception part 107 may receive 1st ID and 2nd ID.

Further, the receiving unit 107 may receive information other than the input information from the first terminal device 2 or the second terminal device 3.

The accepting unit 107 accepts second usage information related to the use of the second point, for example. The second usage information is, for example, information that the second point has been used, the number of second points that have been used, information that all the second points have been used, and the like. The accepting unit 107 usually accepts a second ID or a user identifier as a pair with the second usage information. In addition, the reception unit 107 normally receives second usage information and the like from the second terminal device 3.

Further, the reception unit 107 may receive first usage information regarding the use of the first point. The first use information is, for example, information indicating that the first point has been used, the number of used first points, information indicating that all the first points have been used, and the like. For example, the reception unit 107 receives first usage information from the first terminal device 2. The accepting unit 107 usually accepts a first ID or a user identifier as a pair with the first use information. The first usage information and the second usage information usually have the number of points used.

The above reception is usually reception of information transmitted via a wired or wireless communication line. However, accepting may be a concept including accepting information input from an input device such as a keyboard, mouse, or touch panel, accepting information read from a recording medium such as an optical disk, a magnetic disk, or a semiconductor memory.

The point giving unit 108 gives points when the judging unit 113 judges that the nth condition is satisfied. The nth condition is the highest condition among the hierarchization conditions. N is “2”, for example. Here, giving a point means recording the first point in the first point storage unit 102, for example. For example, the point assigning unit 108 assigns a first point in association with the first ID or the user identifier.

In addition, for example, when the determination unit 113 determines that the collection of items has been completed, it is preferable that the point providing unit 108 performs a process of providing points. The point here is usually the first point. The point assigning unit 108 normally accumulates the first point in the first point storage unit 102 in association with the first ID or the user identifier. In such a case, the output unit 116 may transmit the points to be given (usually the first point) to the first terminal device 2 of the user.

Furthermore, the point giving unit 108 may give a coupon when the judging unit 113 judges that the nth condition is satisfied. Note that the point grant unit 108 may be referred to as a point or coupon grant unit.

The point conversion unit 109 converts the first point into the second point, and adds the second point to the second point storage unit 103. There is no limitation on the timing at which the point conversion unit 109 converts the first point into the second point. For example, the point conversion unit 109 converts the first point to the second point when a predetermined condition is satisfied. Note that the point conversion unit 109 may convert the first point, which is a coupon, into a second point. The second point may be considered as a concept including a coupon. Moreover, the point conversion part 109 may convert a 1st coupon into a 2nd coupon. The point conversion unit 109 may be referred to as a point or coupon conversion unit.

Also, the rate at which the first point is converted to the second point is not limited. “First point = second point” may be used, or “second point = f (first point), where f is generally an increasing function using the first point as a parameter”.

The point conversion unit 109 adds, for example, the converted second point to the second point corresponding to the second ID paired with the first ID corresponding to the first point.

Further, the point conversion unit 109 may convert, for example, the second point into the first point and add the first point to the first point storage unit 102. There is no limitation on the timing at which the point conversion unit 109 converts the second point into the first point. For example, the point conversion unit 109 converts the second point into the first point when a predetermined condition is satisfied. For example, the point conversion unit 109 adds the converted first point to the first point corresponding to the first ID paired with the second ID corresponding to the second point.

Here, the predetermined condition is, for example, a predetermined time. The predetermined time is, for example, 12:00 at the end of the month. Further, the predetermined condition is, for example, that the first point has been received. The predetermined condition is, for example, that a user instruction (point conversion instruction) has been accepted.

The 1st point acquisition part 110 acquires the 1st point which is a point based on the information received by the 1st means. The point based on the information received by the first means may be said to be a point generated by using the first means. The first means is, for example, an application of the first terminal device 2. The first means may be called the first terminal device 2, for example.

The first point acquisition unit 110 usually acquires the first point in pairs with the user identifier or the first ID. The first point acquisition unit 110 may receive the first point from the first terminal device 2 or may generate the first point based on the input information received from the first terminal device 2.

The 1st point acquisition part 110 may acquire the 1st coupon which is a coupon based on the information received by the 1st means.

The second point acquisition unit 111 acquires a second point. The 2nd point acquisition part 111 acquires a 2nd point normally with a user identifier or 2nd ID. The second point acquisition unit 111 may receive the second point from the second terminal device 3, or may generate the second point based on the information received from the second terminal device 3. Here, the information received from the second terminal device 3 is, for example, purchase information of goods or services. The purchase information includes, for example, a purchase price, an identifier of a purchased product, and the like.

The second point acquisition unit 111 may acquire a second coupon.

The processing unit 112 performs processing for acquiring information for satisfying the first condition according to the input information received by the receiving unit 107. Here, the process of acquiring information for satisfying the first condition is, for example, a process approaching to satisfy the first condition. Here, the process that approaches the condition such as the first condition is a process of increasing the parameter value, a process of acquiring an item, or the like. However, the content of the process that approaches the condition does not matter. The process for obtaining information for satisfying the condition may be, for example, a process for obtaining a numerical value (for example, “1”) for satisfying the condition. The input information is, for example, an application activation instruction, information indicating that the application has been activated, information indicating that the screen has been tapped, information indicating that the activation instruction and the screen have been tapped, or the like.

Further, the processing unit 112 may perform processing so that information for satisfying the first condition or the nth condition is acquired by lottery and whether the first condition or the nth condition is satisfied is determined by lottery. Here, the lottery means, for example, that an arbitrary element is not added. The lottery is, for example, generating a random number. However, the lottery may be, for example, changing the probability based on information such as user information.

Further, the processing unit 112 may perform a process of adding together information for satisfying one higher-order condition corresponding to the lower-order condition that has already been acquired and stored before the information is acquired. In other words, the processing unit 112 temporarily accumulates the acquired information, and adds the accumulated information to the newly acquired information and information for satisfying one upper condition corresponding to the lower condition. May be performed.

Here, the first condition is, for example, that the parameter value is a numerical value that matches the threshold value or a numerical value that is larger than the threshold value. The second condition is, for example, that collection of one or more items is completed. However, the conditions from the first to the n-th are not questioned.

Further, it is preferable that the processing of the processing unit 112 approaches the first condition depending on the content of the input information received by the receiving unit 107. The content of input information is, for example, the content of input to the application of the first terminal device 2. For example, the processing unit 112 performs different processing depending on whether the content of the input information is an input of an activation instruction or an input of information used by an application. For example, the processing unit 112 performs different processing depending on whether the content of the input information is an activation instruction, information browsing, or information deletion. The different processing includes, for example, changing a parameter value to be generated, changing the number of items to be generated, and the like.

Further, it is preferable that the processing unit 112 obtains the time when the receiving unit 107 receives the input information, and uses the information related to the time to perform processing that approaches the first condition. For example, the parameter value increased by the processing unit 112 varies depending on the time zone. For example, the parameter value that the processing unit 112 increases is different between when input information is received in the morning and when input information is received in the afternoon. Further, for example, the parameter value to be increased by the processing unit 112 is different between the case of receiving the first input information on a certain day and the case of receiving the input information after the second time. Further, for example, the processing performed by the processing unit 112 differs depending on how many times the operation is performed on the day. For example, the processing unit 112 gives a parameter value of 100 for the first operation of the day, and gives a parameter value of less than 100 for the second and subsequent operations.

Further, it is preferable that the processing unit 112 performs processing that approaches the first condition according to the input information and user information received by the receiving unit 107. That is, it is preferable that the processing performed by the processing unit 112 is different depending on the input information and user information received by the receiving unit 107, and the processing that approaches the first condition is different.

Further, it is preferable that the processing unit 112 performs processing so as to be closer to satisfying the first condition as the rank of the user is higher. That is, the first ID or user identifier paired with the input information received by the receiving unit 107 is acquired, and the rank paired with the first ID or user identifier is acquired. Then, as the rank is higher, the processing unit 112 performs processing so as to be closer to satisfying the first condition. For example, as the rank is higher, the processing unit 112 generates a larger parameter value or a larger number of items.

In addition, when the determination unit 113 determines that the lower condition among the hierarchization conditions is satisfied, it is preferable that the processing unit 112 performs a process that approaches the condition of one higher order corresponding to the lower condition. It is.

In addition, when the determination unit 113 determines that the first condition is satisfied, the processing unit 112 preferably acquires one item corresponding to the second condition and subtracts the threshold value from the parameter value. In such a case, the processing unit 112 usually acquires a new parameter value obtained by subtracting the threshold value from the parameter value.

In addition, when the determination unit 113 determines that the time indicated by the time information is satisfied and the second condition is not satisfied, the processing unit 112 performs a process of terminating the collection of items for the sheet. The process for terminating the collection of items is, for example, sheet deletion. The process for terminating the collection of items is, for example, a process that does not generate an item. In addition, when the determination unit 113 determines that the time indicated by the time information is reached, the processing unit 112 may perform processing to end the collection of items for the sheet.

Further, the processing unit 112 associates the first ID received by the receiving unit 107 with the user identifier, and associates the user information storage unit 101, the group information storage unit 104, or the user information storage unit 101 with the group information storage unit 104. To accumulate. In addition, the processing unit 112 accumulates the first ID and the second ID received by the receiving unit 107 in the set information storage unit 104. In addition, when the receiving unit 107 receives the first ID and the second ID, the processing unit 112 stores the second ID in the set information storage unit 104 in association with the first ID.

Further, the processing unit 112 acquires a sheet and accumulates the sheet in the result storage unit 106. The processing unit 112 may acquire a sheet from a recording medium (not shown), may acquire a sheet received by the receiving unit 107, or may generate a sheet. For example, the processing unit 112 generates a sheet using information received by the receiving unit 107 (for example, information on one or more items on the sheet, time information on the sheet, conditions regarding user information for distributing the sheet, etc.). May be.

Further, the processing unit 112 may acquire a sheet for each user using the user information and accumulate the sheet in the result storage unit 106. For example, when the reception unit 107 receives a condition regarding user information for distributing a sheet, the processing unit 112 determines whether the user information satisfies the condition, and when the user information satisfies the condition, the user information A sheet for the user corresponding to is acquired. Then, the processing unit 112 accumulates the acquired sheet in the result storage unit 106. In such a case, for example, the processing unit 112 stores the sheet in the result storage unit 106 in association with the user identifier.

The determination unit 113 determines whether the first condition is satisfied using the processing result in the processing unit 112. The determination unit 113 may determine whether the reception unit 107 has received information from the first terminal device 2 that the first condition is satisfied.

Also, the determination unit 113 determines whether or not the one higher condition is satisfied when the processing unit 112 performs a process approaching to satisfy the one higher condition corresponding to the lower condition. In addition, the determination unit 113 may determine whether or not the reception unit 107 has received information from the first terminal device 2 that the upper condition (for example, the second condition) has been satisfied.

Also, the determination unit 113 determines, for example, whether or not the parameter value acquired by the processing unit 112 satisfies the first condition. For example, the determination unit 113 may determine whether the parameter value received by the reception unit 107 from the first terminal device 2 satisfies the first condition.

Further, for example, when the processing unit 112 acquires one item, the determination unit 113 determines whether or not collection of all items in the sheet corresponding to the one item is completed. Here, the determination unit 113 determines, for example, whether or not all items corresponding to one or more item identifiers included in the sheet exist using the sheet stored in the result storage unit 106. For example, when the receiving unit 107 receives one item from the first terminal device 2, the determining unit 113 determines whether or not collection of all items in the sheet corresponding to the one item has been completed. Also good.

Also, the determination unit 113 determines, for example, whether or not the time indicated by the time information is satisfied and the second condition is not satisfied for the sheet having the time information.

The process of reducing the second coupon may be a process of deleting the second coupon so that the second coupon cannot be used.

The point disappearance unit 115 performs a process of eliminating the first point when a predetermined condition is satisfied. The predetermined condition is that a predetermined condition has been reached, or that an erasure instruction has been received. For example, when the point is not used until a predetermined time is reached, the point disappearing unit 115 causes the first point in the first point storage unit 102 to disappear.

The point disappearance unit 115 may cause the second point in the second point storage unit 103 to disappear when a predetermined condition is satisfied. The predetermined condition is that a predetermined condition has been reached, or that an erasure instruction has been received.

When the i-th user exists, the process goes to step S335, and when the i-th user does not exist, the process returns to step S301. Note that the processing unit 112 may determine, for example, whether or not the i-th user exists by referring to the user information storage unit 101, or may refer to the result storage unit 106 to determine whether the i-th user exists. It may be determined whether or not.

If the time condition is satisfied, the process goes to step S340. If the time condition is not satisfied, the process goes to step S339. The case where the timing condition is satisfied means that the sheet is currently usable.

Further, the processing unit 112 acquires a value from 1 to 100 using the current time, for example. Further, the process approaching to satisfy the i-th condition is, for example, a process for generating an item. Further, the processing unit 112, for example, randomly selects one of the x (x is a natural number of 1 or more) sheets, and generates one random item in the selected sheet.

(Step S506) The determination unit 113 determines whether or not the i-th condition is satisfied as a result of the processing in step S505. If the i-th condition is satisfied, the process goes to step S507. If the i-th condition is not satisfied, the process goes to step S513.

(Step S507) The determination unit 113 determines whether or not “i! = N”. If “i! = N”, go to step S508, and if “i = n”, go to step S511. Note that n is the maximum number (n) of hierarchies in the hierarchization condition. “I! = N” indicates that i and n do not match.

(Step S508) The processing unit 112 performs a process approaching to satisfy the (i + 1) th condition. The process approaching to satisfy the (i + 1) th condition is, for example, a process for generating an item. Further, the processing unit 112, for example, randomly selects one of the x sheets and generates one random item in the selected sheet.

(Step S509) The processing unit 112 clears information for the i-th condition. For example, a case will be described in which “n = 2”, the first condition is “parameter value is 100%”, and the second condition is “all items in the sheet can be collected”. In such a case, for example, if a new parameter value is generated and the sum of the original parameter value and the generated parameter value becomes 130%, the first condition is satisfied, so the direction satisfying the second condition is satisfied. One item that is the process is generated. Then, the processing unit 112 subtracts (clears) “100%”, which is information for the first condition, from “130%” to obtain “30%”.

(Step S510) The processing unit 112 increments the counter i by 1. The process returns to step S506.

(Step S511) The point grant unit 108 assigns points in association with the first ID or user identifier. That is, the point grant unit 108 generates a first point to be granted, and records the generated first point in the first point storage unit 102 in association with the first ID or the user identifier. In addition, when the 1st point matched with 1st ID or a user identifier exists, the point provision part 108 adds the produced | generated 1st point to the existing 1st point, and adds the added 1st point to the 1st point. Record in one point storage unit 102. In addition, it is preferable that the point giving unit 108 generates points corresponding to sheets that satisfy the conditions, for example. In such a case, points are managed in association with the sheets.

(Step S512) The output unit 116 outputs the point grant result in step S511. The point grant result is the latest first point after the point is awarded. The output here is normally transmission to the first terminal device 2. Return to upper process.

(Step S513) The output unit 116 outputs the processing result. The processing result is a result of processing approaching to satisfy the i-th condition in step S505. The processing result is, for example, the latest parameter value. The output here is normally transmission to the first terminal device 2. Return to upper process.

(Step S514) The output unit 116 outputs that the condition is not satisfied. The output here is normally transmission to the first terminal device 2. Return to upper process.

Next, the operation of the first terminal device 2 will be described. The first receiving unit 21 of the first terminal device 2 receives information and instructions from the user. The first processing unit 22 performs processing according to the information and instructions received by the first receiving unit 21. Then, the first transmission unit 23 transmits the processing result of the first processing unit 22 or the information and instructions received by the first reception unit 21 to the point processing device 1. The information transmitted by the first transmission unit 23 is, for example, input information, a user identifier and a first ID, a first ID and a second ID, and first usage information. The first receiving unit 24 receives information from the point processing device 1. The information received by the first receiving unit 24 is, for example, the number of remaining first points, a point grant result, a processing result in the point processing device 1, and the like. The first output unit 25 outputs the processing result of the first processing unit 22 and the information received by the first receiving unit 24.

Next, the operation of the second terminal device 3 will be described. The 2nd reception part 31 of the 2nd terminal device 3 receives the 2nd ID etc. which are stored in the purchase information of goods and service, IC card, for example. Then, the second processing unit 32 processes the information received by the second receiving unit 31. For example, the second processing unit 32 calculates the number of points to be given (here, the number of points of the second point) from the purchase amount received by the second receiving unit 31. Next, the second transmission unit 33 transmits the information received by the second reception unit 31 or the processing result (for example, the number of points to be given) in the second processing unit 32 to the point processing device 1. And the 2nd receiving part 34 receives the number of points of the added 2nd point from the point processing apparatus 1, for example. Then, the second output unit 35 outputs the information received by the second receiving unit 34.

Hereinafter, a specific operation of the point system in the present embodiment will be described. A conceptual diagram of the point system is shown in FIG.

Now, the first point is a temporary point generated when the user uses one application in the first terminal device 2. Also, the first point cannot be used to purchase goods or services. The first terminal device 2 is assumed to be a smartphone, for example.

Also, the second point is a point generated when the user purchases a product or service, and can be used when purchasing the product or service. When the predetermined condition is satisfied, the first point is converted into the second point. Here, when the first point is converted into the second point, it is assumed here that the same number of second points as the first point are generated. The second terminal device 3 is assumed to be a device that holds a card reader for IC cards.

In such a situation, the user information storage unit 101 of the point processing apparatus 1 holds the user information management table shown in FIG. The user information management table stores one or more records having “ID”, “user information”, and “history information”. “User information” has “user identifier”, “name”, “rank”, and “user profile”. “Rank” is information indicating the importance of the user. Here, one or more pieces of information such as friend information, user attribute values, or usage status (for example, usage frequency, usage count, etc.) of the application are included. It is assumed that it is calculated using That is, the “rank” is calculated by an increasing function using, as a parameter, one or more types of information among the number of friends and the degree of influence, for example. “Rank” has a specific user attribute value (for example, a user in Minato-ku, Tokyo, a user whose address is Minato-ku, Tokyo, a user who is a woman, a user whose birthday is today, etc.) ) May be set higher than the normal rank. In addition, the “rank” is calculated by an increasing function using, for example, the usage status such as the usage frequency and usage count of the application as parameters. The “user profile” includes “sex”, “age”, and “friend information”. “Friend information” has “number of friends” and “influence degree”. The “influence” is the degree of influence on others. “Number of friends” and “degree of influence” are acquired by a friend information acquisition unit (not shown). The friend information acquisition unit acquires, for example, from an SNS server (not shown) (for example, a server device of facebook (registered trademark)). The friend information acquisition means confirms that, for example, two or more purchase information transmitted from the same second terminal device 3 within a threshold time (for example, within 5 minutes) is own purchase information and friend purchase information. Detect and acquire the degree of influence according to the number of times of detection. That is, the friend information acquisition unit acquires the influence degree so that the influence degree becomes larger as the number and frequency of shopping with the friend are larger. Note that the friend information acquisition means determines whether or not the user is his / her friend by acquiring, for example, information on a friend registered in a Facebook (registered trademark) server device. The “history information” includes “time” and “input information”. The “input information” is, for example, an application activation instruction, information input to the application, or the like. The “history information” is cleared every day, for example. That is, “history information” is accumulated for one day only.

Note that “name”, “sex”, and “age” are information registered by the user from the first terminal device 2 in the information of the record of the user information management table. The “user identifier” is unique information generated by the processing unit 112 of the point processing device 1 after receiving information for registration from the first terminal device 2. “Rank” is, for example, information that is periodically updated, and is information that is calculated by the processing unit 112 using an increasing function that uses one or more types of information among the number of friends and the degree of influence as parameters. Furthermore, it is assumed that “friend information” is information periodically acquired by the processing unit 112 by the method described above.

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

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

Also, the set information storage unit 104 holds a set information management table shown in FIG. The group information management table stores one or more records having “first ID” and “second ID”. It is assumed that the set information of “first ID” and “second ID” is information transmitted from the first terminal device 2 to the point processing device 1. That is, the 1st reception part 21 of the 1st terminal device 2 receives the input of 2nd ID (ID printed on the card | curd) from a user. Then, the first transmission unit 23 reads the first ID stored in the first storage unit 20 and transmits the set information including the first ID and the input second ID to the point processing device 1. Then, the reception unit 107 of the point processing device 1 receives the set information and accumulates it in the set information storage unit 104.

Further, the hierarchization condition storage unit 105 stores the hierarchization condition. The depth of the hierarchy in the hierarchization condition here is, for example, “2”. The first condition is that the parameter value becomes a threshold value (here, 100). The second condition is that collection of one or more items on each sheet is completed. And when collection of the item of a sheet is completed, suppose that the 1st point corresponding to each sheet is given. Here, the first point to be given is preferably different for each sheet, but all the sheets may be the same. Note that the item here is a badge. When the first point is different for each sheet, it is assumed that the first point is stored in association with the sheet.

In addition, the process that approaches the first condition here is a process of generating a parameter value. Moreover, the process which approaches the 2nd condition is a process which produces | generates an item. Note that when there are a plurality of sheets, the process that approaches the second condition is a process of determining a sheet for generating an item and generating an item for the sheet.

And, it can be said that the outline of the processing using the stratification condition here is the following processing. That is, when the parameter value is generated, which is a process that approaches the first condition, and the total of the accumulated parameter value and the generated parameter value is 100 or more, the second condition is satisfied. One item, which is the approaching process, is generated. The accumulated parameter value is “(accumulated parameter value + generated parameter value) −100”. In addition, after the generation of one item, it is determined whether or not the collection of the items on the sheet has been completed. If the collection of the items has been completed, the user is given a first point. Then, the sheet is deleted.

Furthermore, it is assumed that the above-described input information processing is performed when the user activates one application and the user performs a predetermined input (for example, taps).

Further, it is assumed that the result storage unit 106 holds the result management table shown in FIG. The result management table includes “user identifier”, “first ID”, and “sheet”. “Sheet” has “sheet ID”, “item ID”, and “collection flag”. “Sheet ID” is information for identifying a sheet for collecting items. “Item ID” is information for identifying an item on the corresponding sheet ID. The “collection flag” is information indicating whether or not an item has been collected. When “1”, the corresponding item is collected.

In this situation, it is assumed that the user has input an application activation instruction in the first storage unit 20 of the first terminal device 2. And the 1st reception part 21 receives the starting instruction | indication of the said application. And the 1st process part 22 starts an application. Then, the first transmission unit 23 reads the first ID “a0001” and the user identifier “10001” from the first storage unit 20, and inputs the first ID, the user identifier, and input information indicating that the application has been activated. Is transmitted to the point processing device 1.

Next, the receiving unit 107 of the point processing device 1 receives the first ID “a0001”, the user identifier “10001”, and input information indicating that the application has been activated. Then, the determination unit 113 acquires the first ID “a0001” and the user identifier “10001” from the received input information.

And the judgment part 113 grade | etc., Performs the following input information processing using input information. That is, the determination unit 113 acquires the current time from a clock (not shown) or the like. Next, the determination unit 113 acquires history information corresponding to the user identifier “10001”. However, here, the determination unit 113 cannot acquire history information. That is, the determination unit 113 can determine that it is the first application activation of the day. Here, the input information may be that the user's operation (for example, tapping the screen) is accepted in addition to the information that the application is activated.

Then, the determination unit 113 determines that the first predetermined condition is satisfied using at least one of the current time and the history of input information. Here, it is assumed that the determination unit 113 always determines that a predetermined first condition is satisfied when starting the first application on one day. As a result, motivation to use the application can be increased.

In addition, for example, it is determined when it has a specific user attribute value (for example, a user in Minato-ku, Tokyo, a user whose address is Minato-ku, Tokyo, a user who is a woman, a user whose birthday is today), etc. The unit 113 may determine that the first condition that is determined in advance is always satisfied.

Next, the processing unit 112 generates a parameter value, which is a process that approaches the first condition. Here, it is assumed that the processing unit 112 generates the parameter value “38”. Here, it is preferable that the processing unit 112 generates “100” which is the maximum parameter value when the first application is activated. As a result, motivation to use the application can be increased.

And the output part 116 transmits the instruction | indication of execution of predetermined operation | movement to the 1st terminal device 2 which has transmitted input information. Here, the predetermined operation execution instruction is an operation execution instruction that prompts the user to input to the application. The execution of the operation that prompts input to the application is, for example, the operation of dropping the leaf from the top of the screen. In addition, it is assumed that the instruction includes the generated parameter value “38”.

Then, the first receiving unit 24 of the first terminal device 2 receives an instruction to execute a predetermined operation. Next, the first output unit 25 executes a predetermined operation. Here, the operation of dropping the leaf from the top of the screen is executed. An example of an execution screen for such an operation is shown in FIG. In addition, the leaf is 111.

Next, it is assumed that the user performs a predetermined input corresponding to the execution of the predetermined operation. Here, it is assumed that the user has tapped (touched the screen) on the falling leaf.

Next, the first receiving unit 21 receives the tap, and the first processing unit 22 outputs the parameter value “38” included in the instruction to execute the predetermined operation in response to the tap reception. One output unit 25 is instructed. The first output unit 25 then outputs the parameter value “38” as shown in FIG. Further, the first transmission unit 23 transmits information indicating that a predetermined operation has been executed to the point processing device 1. The output parameter value “38” is 121. The parameter value is referred to as “happer gauge”.

Next, the receiving unit 107 of the point processing device 1 receives information indicating that a predetermined operation has been executed.

Next, the determination unit 113 reads the parameter value “72” corresponding to the first ID “a0001” from the first point management table (see FIG. 7). Then, the determination unit 113 adds the parameter value “72” and the generated parameter value “38” to obtain “110”. Since “110” is equal to or greater than the threshold value “100”, the determination unit 113 determines that the first condition is satisfied as a result of the parameter value generation processing.

Next, the determination unit 113 determines that “1! = 2”. That is, the determination unit 113 determines that a second condition that is a higher condition exists.

Next, the processing unit 112 performs a badge generation process, which is a process that approaches the second condition. That is, the processing unit 112 randomly selects one sheet (here, “aa2”) from one or more sheets. Next, the processing unit 112 selects one badge to be generated (here, “aa22”) ”from among the badges corresponding to the selected sheet“ aa2 ”. Then, the processing unit 112 writes “1” in the collection flag corresponding to the sheet “aa2” paired with the first ID “a0001”. Here, the processing unit 112 may select an item whose collection flag is NULL (an item that is not collected) from the sheet “aa2” corresponding to the user identifier “10001” or the first identifier “a0001”. In addition, items may be selected at random.

Next, the processing unit 112 clears information for the first condition. That is, the processing unit 112 subtracts “100” from the parameter value “110” corresponding to the first ID “a0001” to obtain “10”. Then, the processing unit 112 updates the parameter value corresponding to the first ID “a0001” in the first point management table of FIG. 7 to “10”.

Next, the output unit 116 transmits the generated badge to the first terminal device 2. The output unit 116 also transmits the parameter value “10” to the first terminal device 2.

Next, the first receiving unit 24 of the first terminal device 2 receives the badge and the parameter value “10”. Then, the first output unit 25 outputs the badge and the parameter value “10”. FIG. 13 shows an example of badge output. The badge is 131. Further, the badge 131 is a badge corresponding to the area 141 of the sheet of FIG.

Further, it is assumed that the above processing is repeated, for example, the collection of the badge of the sheet “aa2” paired with the first ID “a0001” is completed. That is, it is assumed that the collection flag of the item ID “aa29” of the sheet “aa2” paired with the first ID “a0001” is also “1”.

Then, the determination unit 113 determines that the second condition is satisfied, and the point grant unit 108 assigns the first point “9”. That is, the point granting unit 108 adds “9” to the attribute value of the first point paired with the first ID “a0001”. Here, since the original first point is “0”, the point assigning unit 108 sets the value of the first point of the record having the first ID “a0001” in the first point management table of FIG. Update to The first point may be a coupon.

Next, the output unit 116 transmits the first point “9” to the first terminal device 2.

Next, the first receiving unit 24 of the first terminal device 2 receives the first point “9”. Then, the first output unit 25 outputs the first point 151 as shown in FIG.

Next, it is assumed that at the end of the month (December 31, 2013), the determination unit 113 determines that the point conversion conditions stored in advance are met.

Then, the point conversion unit 109 converts the first point of each user in FIG. 7 into the second point. That is, for example, the point conversion unit 109 reads the first point “9” of the first ID “a0001” from the first point management table of FIG. Next, the point conversion unit 109 acquires the second ID “2121 2139 6000 123” corresponding to the first ID “a0001” from the set management table of FIG. 9. Next, the point conversion unit 109 reads the second point “12” paired with the second ID “2121 2139 6000 123” from the second point management table (see FIG. 8). Next, the point conversion unit 109 adds the first point “9” to the second point “12” to obtain the second point “21”. The point conversion unit 109 then writes the second point “21” as the second point paired with the second ID “2121 2139 6000 123” of the second point management table (see FIG. 8).

Next, it is assumed that the user identified by the user identifier “10001” went to the store and purchased a 1500 yen product. At that time, it is assumed that the user offers to use all the accumulated points, and gives the IC card in which the second ID “2121 2139 6000 123” is recorded to the store clerk.

Next, it is assumed that the store clerk has read the IC card by the second terminal device 3. Then, it is assumed that the store clerk inputs to the second terminal device 3 that all the second points are used for the current payment and purchase information “1500 yen”.

Next, the second reception unit 31 of the second terminal device 3 receives the second ID “2121 2139 6000 123” and the second usage information indicating that all the second points are used.

Next, the second transmission unit 33 transmits the second ID “2121 2139 6000 123” and the second usage information indicating that all the second points are used to the point processing device 1.

Next, the reception unit 107 of the point processing device 1 receives the second ID “2121 2139 6000 123” and the second usage information indicating that all the second points are used.

Then, the accepting unit 107 accepts from the second terminal device 3 the second ID “2121 2139 6000 123” and the second usage information indicating that all the second points are used.

Next, the point processing unit 114 acquires the second ID “2121 2139 6000 123”.

Next, the point processing unit 114 calculates the number of points “21” indicated by the second usage information paired with the second ID “2121 2139 6000 123” from the second usage information indicating that all the second points are used. get.

Next, the point processing unit 114 subtracts “21” from the second point corresponding to the second ID “2121, 2139, 6000, 123”, and associates the second point “2121, 2139, 6000, 123” with the second point “ Write "0".

Next, the output unit 116 transmits the second point “21” to be used to the second terminal device 3.

Next, the second receiving unit 34 of the second terminal device 3 receives the second point “21”. Then, the second processing unit 32 subtracts “21” from the purchase information “1500 yen” to calculate “1479 yen”. Then, the second output unit 35 outputs “1479 yen”. Then, the user pays “1479 yen”.

Next, the second reception unit 31 of the second terminal device 3 acquires purchase information “1479 yen”. Then, the second processing unit 32 calculates the second point “14” from the purchase information “1479 yen”. It is assumed that the second processing unit 32 calculates the second point by an arithmetic expression “second point = purchase information / 100”. Here, it is assumed that the decimal part is rounded down. Moreover, the 2nd process part 32 should just calculate a 2nd point with the increase function which uses the price contained in purchase information as a parameter.

Next, the second transmission unit 33 transmits the second point “14” to the point processing device 1 together with the second ID “2121 2139 6000 123” acquired earlier.

The output unit outputs the parameter value, the determination result in the determination unit, or the parameter value and the determination result in the determination unit, and the processing unit outputs the determination value. However, when it is determined that the parameter value is equal to or greater than the threshold value, the item is acquired and the threshold value is subtracted from the parameter value. When the processing unit acquires one item, the determination unit It is determined whether or not the collection of the item corresponding to the item is completed, and the point or coupon granting unit is configured such that the determination unit completes the collection of the item.

(Embodiment 2)
In the present embodiment, a point processing device 4 that performs stand-alone processing will be described. Note that the stand-alone means that the point processing device 4 is used alone without being connected to the network. However, the processing performed by the point processing device 4 may be realized by two or more separated devices.

FIG. 16 is a block diagram of the point processing device 4 in the present embodiment.

The point processing device 4 includes a user information storage unit 41, a first point storage unit 42, a hierarchization condition storage unit 43, a result storage unit 44, a reception unit 45, a processing unit 46, a determination unit 47, a point granting unit 48, and point processing. Unit 49, point elimination unit 50, and output unit 51.

The user information storage part 41 which comprises the point processing apparatus 4 can store the user information which is the information regarding a user. The user information usually has a user identifier that identifies the user. The user identifier is, for example, an ID, name, telephone number, mail address, or the like. The user information includes, for example, a user rank that is a user rank, a user profile of the user, a user point, usage information indicating a usage status of the point, friend information, and the like. The friend information is information related to the user's friend, and includes, for example, the number of friends, whether or not the influencer is a person who has an influence on others, and the degree of influence that is the degree of influence on others.

The first point storage unit 42 can store the first point. The first point storage unit 42 may store parameter values.

The hierarchization condition storage unit 43 can store a hierarchization condition. A hierarchized condition is a set of hierarchized conditions. The hierarchization condition is as described above.

The result storage unit 44 can store the operation result of the application. Here, the result storage unit 44 can store one or more sheets, for example. A sheet corresponds to the collection of one or more items. The sheet is, for example, information on a mount on which an item to be collected is pasted. The sheet may be called a collection or a mount. In addition, the sheet has, for example, one or more item identifiers that identify items to be collected. In addition, the sheet includes, for example, information on items that are collected. The collected item information may be a flag indicating that the item is collected, or may be an item itself. Moreover, it is suitable for a sheet | seat to have time information which is the information regarding a time. The time information is information indicating a period during which items can be collected in the sheet. In addition, an item may be called an object, for example, a badge, a pattern, an object used in a game, or the like.

The accepting unit 45 accepts information and instructions. Information, instructions, etc. are input information which is information about input, for example. The input information may be the input itself or information corresponding to the input (for example, information indicating that the application has been activated). It is preferable that the input information is an application activation instruction or information indicating that the application has been activated.

The input means such as information and instructions may be anything such as a keyboard, mouse, touch panel or menu screen. The accepting unit 45 can be realized by a device driver for input means such as a keyboard, control software for a menu screen, or the like.

The processing unit 46 performs a process that approaches the first condition according to the input information received by the receiving unit 45. Here, the process that approaches the condition such as the first condition is a process of increasing the parameter value, a process of acquiring an item, or the like. However, the content of the process that approaches the condition does not matter. The input information is, for example, an application activation instruction, information indicating that the application has been activated, information indicating that the screen has been tapped, information indicating that the activation instruction and the screen have been tapped, or the like.

Moreover, it is preferable that the processing unit 46 is different in the processing approaching to satisfy the first condition depending on the content of the input information received by the receiving unit 45. The content of input information is, for example, the content of input to the application. For example, the processing unit 46 performs different processing depending on whether the content of the input information is an input of an activation instruction or an input of information used by an application. For example, the processing unit 46 performs different processing depending on whether the content of the input information is an activation instruction, information browsing, or information deletion.

Further, it is preferable that the processing unit 46 obtains the time when the receiving unit 45 receives the input information, and uses the information related to the time to perform processing that approaches the first condition. For example, the processing unit 46 has different parameter values to be increased depending on the time zone. For example, the processing unit 46 has different parameter values to be increased when the input information is received in the morning and when the input information is received in the afternoon. Further, for example, the processing unit 46 has different parameter values to be increased depending on whether the first input information is received on a certain day or the second time or later. Further, for example, the processing of the processing unit 46 varies depending on how many times the day is operated. For example, the processing unit 46 gives a parameter value of 100 for the first operation of the day.

Further, it is preferable that the processing unit 46 performs processing that approaches the first condition according to the input information and user information received by the receiving unit 45.

In addition, it is preferable that the processing unit 46 performs processing so as to approach the first condition as the user rank is higher. That is, the first ID or user identifier paired with the input information received by the receiving unit 45 is acquired, and the rank paired with the first ID or user identifier is acquired. And the process part 46 performs a process so that it may satisfy | fill the 1st condition, so that the said rank is high.

Further, when the determination unit 47 described later determines that a lower condition among the hierarchization conditions is satisfied, the processing unit 46 performs a process approaching to satisfying one higher condition corresponding to the lower condition. Is preferred.

Further, it is preferable that the processing unit 46 performs a process of increasing the parameter value according to the input information received by the receiving unit 45.

In addition, when the determination unit 47 determines that the first condition is satisfied, the processing unit 46 preferably acquires one item corresponding to the second condition and subtracts the threshold value from the parameter value. In such a case, the processing unit 46 usually acquires a new parameter value obtained by subtracting the threshold value from the parameter value.

In addition, when the determination unit 47 determines that the collection of items has been completed, the processing unit 46 preferably performs a process of assigning points. The point here is usually the first point. The processing unit 46 accumulates the first int in the first point storage unit 42.

Further, when the determination unit 47 determines that the time indicated by the time information is satisfied and the second condition is not satisfied, the processing unit 46 performs a process of terminating the collection of items for the sheet. The process for terminating the collection of items is, for example, sheet deletion. The process for terminating the collection of items is, for example, a process that does not generate an item.

The determination unit 47 determines whether the first condition is satisfied using the processing result in the processing unit 46.

Further, the determination unit 47 may determine whether or not the one higher condition is satisfied when the processing unit 46 performs a process approaching to satisfy the one higher condition corresponding to the lower condition. .

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

In addition, when the processing unit 46 acquires one item, the determination unit 47 may determine whether collection of an item corresponding to the one item is completed.

Further, the determination unit 47 may determine whether or not the sheet having the time information is at the time indicated by the time information and does not satisfy the second condition.

“Determining whether or not item collection has been completed” holds a set of item identifiers for completing collection. A set of item identifiers may be called a sheet, a collection, a mount or the like.

The point giving unit 48 gives the first point when the judging unit 47 judges that the nth condition is satisfied. Here, giving a point means, for example, recording the first point in the first point storage unit 42.

The point processing unit 49 performs a process of subtracting the first point of the first point storage unit 42 according to the first usage information.

The point disappearance unit 50 eliminates the first point when a predetermined condition is satisfied. The predetermined condition is that a predetermined condition has been reached, or that an erasure instruction has been received. For example, when the point is not used until a predetermined time is reached, the point disappearing unit 50 causes the first point to disappear.

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

The user information storage unit 41, the first point storage unit 42, the hierarchization condition storage unit 43, and the result storage unit 44 are preferably non-volatile recording media, but can also be realized by volatile recording media.

The process of storing user information or the like in the user information storage unit 41 or the like does not matter. For example, user information or the like may be stored in the user information storage unit 41 via a recording medium, and user information transmitted via a communication line or the like is stored in the user information storage unit 41 or the like. Alternatively, user information input via an input device may be stored in the user information storage unit 41 or the like.

The input means for information received by the receiving unit 45 may be anything such as a keyboard, mouse, touch panel, or menu screen. The accepting unit 45 can be realized by a device driver for input means such as a keyboard, control software for a menu screen, or the like.

The processing unit 46, the determination unit 47, the point granting unit 48, the point processing unit 49, and the point disappearance unit 50 can be usually realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like. The processing procedure of the processing unit 46 and the like is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded on a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

The output unit 51 may or may not include an output device such as a display or a speaker. The output unit 51 can be realized by output device driver software, or output device driver software and an output device.

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

(Step S1701) The receiving unit 45 determines whether input information or the like has been received. If input information etc. are received, it will go to step S1702, and if input information etc. are not received, it will go to step S1718. Here, when input information or the like is received, the processing unit 46 may perform processing based on the received input information or the like. The process based on the received input information or the like is, for example, activation of an application.

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

(Step S1703) The determination unit 47 acquires a history of input information. The history of input information is a set of information having a pair of input information and time. The time is the time when the input information is received or the time when the input information is input. Further, it is assumed that the history of input information is stored in the result storage unit 44, for example.

(Step S1704) The determination unit 47 determines whether or not the condition 1 is satisfied using one or more types of information in the current time or the history of input information. The determination unit 47 may determine whether or not the condition 1 is satisfied without using the current time or the history of input information. For example, the determination unit 47 may generate a random number and determine that the condition 1 is met if the random number is an even number and that the condition 1 is not met if the random number is an odd number. Condition 1 is, for example, the first condition for satisfying the first condition. Condition 1 is a condition for outputting leaves, for example.

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

(Step S1706) The determination unit 47 determines whether or not the condition 2 is satisfied. The condition 2 is, for example, that there is an input from the user, a predetermined input from the user, or the like. If the condition 2 is met, the process goes to step S1707, and if the condition 2 is not met, the process goes to step S1717.

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

(Step S1708) The processing unit 46 performs a process approaching to satisfy the i-th condition. The process approaching to satisfy the i-th condition is, for example, a process of acquiring a parameter value. For example, the processing unit 46 generates random numbers from 1 to 100 and acquires parameter values. Further, the processing unit 46 acquires a value from 1 to 100 using the current time, for example. Further, the process approaching to satisfy the i-th condition is, for example, a process for generating an item. For example, the processing unit 46 randomly selects one of the x sheets and generates one random item in the selected sheet.

(Step S1709) The determination unit 47 determines whether or not the i-th condition has been satisfied as a result of the processing in step S1708. If the i-th condition is satisfied, the process goes to step S1710. If the i-th condition is not satisfied, the process goes to step S1716.

(Step S1710) The determination unit 47 determines whether or not “i! = N”. If “i! = N”, go to step S1711, and if “i = n”, go to step S1714. Note that n is the maximum number (n) of hierarchies in the hierarchization condition. “I! = N” indicates that i and n do not match.

(Step S1711) The processing unit 46 performs a process approaching to satisfy the (i + 1) th condition. The process approaching to satisfy the (i + 1) th condition is, for example, a process for generating an item. For example, the processing unit 46 randomly selects one of the x sheets and generates one random item in the selected sheet.

(Step S1712) The processing unit 46 clears information for the i-th condition. For example, when “n = 2”, the first condition is “parameter value is 100%”, and the second condition is “all items in the sheet can be collected”, a new parameter value is set. Is generated, and the total of the original parameter value and the generated parameter value is 130%, the first condition is satisfied, so one item that is the process in the direction satisfying the second condition is generated. Is done. Then, the processing unit 46 subtracts (clears) “100%”, which is information for the first condition, from “130%” to obtain “30%”.

(Step S1713) The processing unit 46 increments the counter i by one. The process returns to step S1709.

(Step S1714) The point giving unit 48 gives the first point. That is, the point granting unit 108 generates a first point to be granted and records the generated first point in the first point storage unit 42. Note that when the first point is originally present in the first point storage unit 42, the point granting unit 48 adds the generated number of points to the point in the first point storage unit 42. In addition, it is preferable that the point giving unit 108 adds the number of points corresponding to the sheet corresponding to the second condition, for example.

(Step S1715) The output unit 116 outputs the first point grant result in step S1714. The output unit 116 may output the number of added points (number of generated points) or may output the number of points as a result of the addition.

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

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

(Step S1718) The receiving unit 45 determines whether or not the first use information has been received. If the first usage information is accepted, the process goes to step S1719. If the first usage information is not accepted, the process goes to step S1720. The first use information is information indicating the first point, and usually has the number of points used.

(Step S1719) The point processing unit 114 acquires the number of points indicated by the first use information received in Step S1718. And the process which reduces the 1st point of the 1st point storage part 42 by the acquired number of points is performed. And the output part 51 outputs the number of points of a result.

(Step S1720) The determination unit 113 determines whether or not a point deletion condition stored in advance is met. If the point deletion condition is met, the process goes to step S1721, and if the point conversion condition is not met, the process returns to step S1701. The point deletion condition is, for example, that it is 24:00 at the end of the month.

(Step S1721) The point disappearance unit 50 deletes the first point in the first point storage unit 42 (set to “0”). The process returns to step S1701.

In the flowchart of FIG. 17, the process ends when the power is turned off or the process is terminated.

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

Now, it is assumed that the user information storage unit 41 stores “user identifier: 10001, name: TK, rank: 4, gender: male, age: 38, number of friends: 128, influence: 5 etc.” .

Further, it is assumed that the first point storage unit 42 stores the first point “0” and the parameter value “72”.

Further, the hierarchization condition storage unit 43 stores hierarchization conditions. The depth of the hierarchy in the hierarchization condition here is, for example, “2”. The first condition is that the parameter value becomes a threshold value (here, 100). The second condition is that collection of one or more items on each sheet is completed. And when collection of the item of a sheet is completed, suppose that the 1st point corresponding to each sheet is given. Here, the first point to be given is preferably different for each sheet, but all the sheets may be the same. Note that the item here is a badge. When the first point is different for each sheet, it is assumed that the first point is stored in association with the sheet.

And, it can be said that the outline of the processing using the stratification condition here is the following processing. That is, when the parameter value is generated, which is a process that approaches the first condition, and the total of the accumulated parameter value and the generated parameter value is 100 or more, the second condition is satisfied. One item, which is the approaching process, is generated. The accumulated parameter value is “(accumulated parameter value + generated parameter value) −100”. Further, after the generation of one item, it is determined whether or not the collection of the items on the sheet has been completed. If the collection of the items has been completed, the user is given a second point. Then, the sheet is deleted.

Furthermore, it is assumed that the above-described processing is started when the user activates one application.

In addition, it is assumed that information of “sheet” corresponding to “user identifier = 10001” in FIG. 10 is stored in the result storage unit 44. Further, it is assumed that the user information storage unit 41 stores a history of input information (not shown).

In such a situation, it is assumed that the user has input an application activation instruction of the point processing device 4. It is assumed that the application is stored in a recording medium (not shown) of the point processing device 4. And the reception part 45 receives the starting instruction | indication of the said application. Then, the processing unit 46 activates the application.

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

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

Next, the processing unit 46 executes a predetermined process. Here, the predetermined process is, for example, a process of outputting a leaf. Then, for example, a screen as shown in FIG. 11 is output to the point processing device 4.

Next, it is assumed that the user taps the screen of the point processing device 4 (touches the screen). And the reception part 45 receives a user's tap. Then, the determination unit 47 determines that the condition 2 is met. Here, the condition 2 is, for example, accepting a tap with respect to the output of the leaf.

Next, the processing unit 46 performs processing that approaches the first condition. Here, the process that approaches the first condition is a process of acquiring a parameter value. Here, it is assumed that the processing unit 46 has acquired the parameter value “38”.

Next, the output unit 51 outputs the parameter value “38” as shown in FIG.

Next, the processing unit 46 adds the parameter value “38” to the first point storage unit 42. That is, the processing unit 46 reads the current parameter value “72” in the first point storage unit 42 and adds the parameter value “72” and the acquired parameter value “38” to obtain “110”.

Since “110” is equal to or greater than the threshold value “100”, the determination unit 47 determines that the first condition is satisfied as a result of the parameter value generation processing.

Next, the determination unit 47 determines that “1! = 2”. That is, the determination unit 47 determines that a second condition that is a higher condition exists.

Next, the processing unit 46 performs a badge generation process, which is a process that approaches the second condition. That is, the processing unit 46 randomly selects one sheet (here, “aa2”) from one or more sheets stored in the result storage unit 44. Next, the processing unit 46 selects one badge to be generated (here, “aa22”) ”from among the badges corresponding to the selected sheet“ aa2 ”. Then, the processing unit 46 writes “1” in the collection flag of the item ID “aa22” corresponding to the sheet “aa2”. Here, the processing unit 46 may select an item whose collection flag is NULL (an item that has not been collected) from the sheet “aa2”, or may select an item at random.

Next, the processing unit 46 clears the information for the first condition. That is, the processing unit 46 subtracts “100” from the parameter value “110” to obtain “10”. Then, the processing unit 46 updates the parameter value of the first point storage unit 42 to “10”.

Next, the output unit 51 outputs the generated badge. The output unit 51 may also output the parameter value “10”. An example of the badge output is 131 in FIG. The badge 131 is a badge corresponding to the area 141 of the sheet in FIG. The sheet in FIG. 14 is a sheet “aa2”.

Suppose that the above processing is repeated, for example, the collection of the badge of the sheet “aa2” is completed. That is, it is assumed that the collection flag of the item ID “aa29” of the sheet “aa2” is also “1”.

Then, the determination unit 47 determines that the second condition is satisfied, and the point grant unit 48 assigns the first point “9”. That is, the point giving unit 48 adds “9” to the attribute value of the first point in the first point storage unit 42. Here, since the original first point is “0”, the point granting unit 48 updates the value of the first point in the first point storage unit 42 to “9”.

Next, the output unit 51 outputs a new first point “9”. An example of such output is the first point 151 in FIG.

Next, it is assumed that the user inputs the first use information of the number of points “5” to the point processing device 4. Note that the first use information is used, for example, to make a game that is an application powerful.

And the reception part 45 receives the 1st usage information containing the number of points "5". Then, the point processing unit 114 acquires the number of points “5” indicated by the received first use information. Then, the point processing unit 114 performs a process of subtracting the number of points “5” acquired from the first point “9” of the first point storage unit 42 to obtain the number of points “4”. Next, the point processing unit 114 records the first point “4” in the first point storage unit 42.

Next, it is assumed that at the end of the month (December 31, 2013), the determination unit 47 determines that the point deletion conditions stored in advance are met. Then, the point disappearance unit 50 deletes the first point “4” in the first point storage unit 42 and sets it to “0”. That is, the point disappearance unit 50 records the first point “0” in the first point storage unit 42.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, by using the hierarchization condition, points can be easily given while giving a sense of achievement to the user.

In addition, the software which implement | achieves the point processing apparatus 4 in this Embodiment is the following programs. That is, in this program, the recording medium includes a hierarchization condition storage unit that can store hierarchization conditions that are hierarchization conditions from the first to the nth (n is a natural number of 2 or more), and A receiving unit that receives input information that is information related to input, a processing unit that performs processing to acquire information for satisfying the first condition according to the input information received by the receiving unit, and a processing result in the processing unit The determination unit that determines whether or not the first condition is satisfied, and the processing result in the processing unit, the determination result in the determination unit, or the processing result in the processing unit and the determination result in the determination unit An output unit that outputs, and when the determination unit determines that the lower condition among the hierarchization conditions is satisfied, the upper condition that corresponds to the lower condition When the processing unit performs processing for acquiring information for satisfying one higher-level condition corresponding to the lower-level condition, the determination unit performs processing for acquiring information for satisfying the information. It is a program that causes a computer to function as a point or a coupon grant unit that grants points or a coupon when it is determined whether or not the upper condition is satisfied and the determination unit determines that the nth condition is satisfied.
