Abstract

The present invention provides topics common to users and thereby utilizes recorded information so as to enhance interactions and relationships between these users while preventing leakage of personal information. In a system provided with a plurality of wireless terminals according to the present invention, a first wireless terminal displays a map showing the location of, and the type of encounter associated with, each wireless terminal on the basis of information obtained from a server. When an association operation for associating the first wireless terminal with a second wireless terminal, displayed on the map, has been performed on the first wireless terminal, the server causes the second wireless terminal to display a notification indicating that an interaction request has been received from the first wireless terminal. If an operation for accepting the interaction request is performed on the second wireless terminal, then the second wireless terminal transmits an acceptance signal to the server. Upon receiving the acceptance signal, the server extracts items common to profile information about the user of the first wireless terminal and profile information about the user of the second wireless terminal, and causes the first and second wireless terminals to display the extracted items.

Description

Social network system and server

The present invention relates to a social network system and a server.

In recent years, with the advent and popularization of blogs, Twitter, and social network systems, a system has been created that records personal experiences and remarks on the Internet. For example, Patent Literature 1 discloses an apparatus that extracts experience information from text information input by a user and extracts a group of users whose experience information has a commonality by comparing the experience information of one or more users. Has been. Furthermore, by promoting the recording technology of information based on user behavior, such as the recording of consumption behavior via the Internet by online shopping sites, the recording of consumption behavior through electronic money, and the recording of location information using GPS technology, Technology has been established that automatically records where and what a user was doing at a certain moment. In addition, with the development of GPS technology, a technology has been established that can accurately grasp its position on a map in units of meters. Moreover, although it is not yet common to use it in a social network system, a technology for converting speech into text with high accuracy has been established with the development of speech recognition technology.

JP 2013-257761 A

While the recording technology as described above has been developed, there are the following problems regarding the use of recorded information.

First, as such a first problem, since such personal information is recorded and disclosed on a social network, there is a high possibility of unintentional leakage of personal information. There is a need for a mechanism that makes it easy to prevent information that is unintentional for the user from being disclosed.

Also, the second issue is that the recorded information is not used to promote the exchange of people who meet each other. Despite the vast amount of personal record information on social networks, the current social network does not have a mechanism for extracting and providing them as topics, so at the first meeting, the current FACEBOOK (registered trademark) As before social networks such as) were prevalent, in order to confirm that the other party has the common information and the information that he / she wants, he / she has to ask a question that is empty. In order to promote the exchange of people who meet face-to-face, it is necessary to have a mechanism for providing topics using recorded information.

The third problem is that there are few merits on the user side who provides record information. In the current social network, such recorded information is used to convey the actions and impressions to the friends on the social network in the form of a bulletin board. The main purpose of the user is to praise and sympathize with the friends. There is. However, to put it the other way around, for users who do not seek praise and sympathy from their peers or users who are unlikely to obtain praise and sympathy from their peers, record more information on social networks. Although there is a merit that can be substituted for my diary, it basically has the demerit of leaking personal information. Furthermore, the social network management side uses the recorded information for posting recommended advertisements for encouraging users to consume. For this reason, the user has a large impression that there is a merit to the side that provides the advertising medium, and in addition to the above, there is a high possibility that the user has the impression that there is little merit to provide the recorded information to the social network. A mechanism is needed to show users the benefits other than praise and sympathy from their peers.

In view of the above points, the present invention provides a topic that is a common point between users, thereby preventing the leakage of other personal information and using the recorded information to promote exchanges of people who meet directly. An object is to provide a social network system and a server.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of a social network system.
The social network system 1 includes, for example, a server 10 and a plurality of wireless terminals 20 that communicate with the server 10 via a base station 30. The social network system 1 may further include a personal information recording server 40 and a GPS information storage device 50.

The server 10 is a server that provides a social network service, and controls the processing of the present embodiment. The wireless terminal 20 is a portable information terminal that can access the Internet, such as a smartphone or a tablet. The base station 30 communicates with the wireless terminal 20 wirelessly. The personal information recording server 40 is, for example, a server that provides other social network services. The GPS information storage device 50 is a device that stores the position of the wireless terminal 20, for example. For example, the GPS information storage device 50 receives position information from a GPS device mounted on the wireless terminal 20 and stores the identification information of the wireless terminal 20 and the received position information in association with each other. Note that the number of devices is not limited to the number shown in FIG.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the server 10. In the following description, the wireless terminal 20 and the user are described as having a one-to-one correspondence. However, for example, the user is different in the stage of setting information and the stage of meeting other users and displaying common items. A different wireless terminal 20 may be used at the processing timing, and a terminal that can communicate with the server 10 by wire other than the wireless terminal may be used as a terminal used in the stage of setting information.

The server 10 includes, for example, a user information registration unit 101, an event participant attribute extraction unit 102, an event participant common point extraction unit 103, a user map information creation unit 104, a common virtual space setting unit 105, and an inter-user A common point extraction unit 106, a recording unit 107, a communication unit (communication processing unit) 108, and a request processing unit 109 are included. The server 10 stores, for example, the position information of each wireless terminal 20, the profile information of the user of each wireless terminal 20, and the type of encounter desired by each user.

Information set in the server 10 includes information registration by the user himself, automatic registration based on the user's consent, disclosure setting by the user, setting of an encounter type, and the like. For example, the user information registration unit 101 and the wireless terminal 20 And executed. The information output from the server 10 includes, for example, a news feed, common point communication, and common point recommendation advertisement, which are transmitted from the contact unit 108.

FIG. 3 is a hardware configuration diagram of the server 10.
Each unit described above of the server 10 can be realized by a processing unit (CPU) 11, a storage unit 12, an output unit 13, and a communication interface 14. For example, a function program for realizing each unit is stored in the storage unit 12, and the processing unit 11 can read and execute the function program.

FIG. 4 is a hardware configuration diagram of the wireless terminal 20.
The wireless terminal 20 includes, for example, a processing unit (CPU) 21, a storage unit 22, a touch panel 23 having a display unit and an operation unit, and a wireless communication unit 24 for communicating with the server 10 via the base station 30. Have As for each function of the wireless terminal 20 in the present embodiment, the processing unit 21 may access the server 10 via the wireless communication unit 24 and execute processing according to an instruction from the server 10 (for example, browser-based Behavior). Further, a predetermined application (program) for realizing the social network system 1 in the wireless terminal 20 may be downloaded in advance and stored in the storage unit 22, and the processing unit 21 may read and execute the application.

FIG. 5 is an overall flowchart of the social network system 1.
First, the server 10 communicates with the wireless terminal 20 and executes a pre-setting process (S101). Further, the server 10 executes common processing for all users at an appropriate timing (S103). The server 10 communicates with the wireless terminal 20 and executes a common term display process between the users (S105). In addition, when the conversation between the users ends, the server 10 executes post-conversation post-processing (S107). Each process will be described in detail below.

FIG. 6 is a detailed flowchart of the pre-setting process (S101).
First, the server 10 (for example, the user information registration unit 101) sets an encounter type desired by the user of the wireless terminal 20 (S201).

The wireless terminal 20 can transmit to the server 10 an encounter type (meeting method) indicating what kind of encounter the user is seeking in the future by the user's operation, and can set it in the server 10. FIG. 7 illustrates an encounter type registered. Some users can set other than those shown, such as seeking the same university graduate. These encounter type candidates are transmitted from the server 10 to the wireless terminal 20 and displayed on the touch panel 23 of the wireless terminal 20, and the desired encounter type selected by the user's operation among the displayed encounter types is displayed on the server 10. May be sent. The set encounter type is displayed on a map to be described later. Further, it is possible to change the setting at an appropriate timing or change the necessity of display. Also, in order to prevent unintentional talking and damage such as stalking, wireless terminals that display only in a specific area, display only in a specific time zone, display only within their specific distance, and match the desired encounter type It is possible to set conditions such as displaying only on the wireless terminal 10 by operating the wireless terminal 10.

Next, the server 10 (for example, the user information registration unit 101) creates a unique profile of the user (S203). FIG. 8 shows an example of profile items. The registration items can be determined in advance according to the way the user wants to meet, but an example will be described in which a way to meet who wants a person with a common term regardless of gender is selected. In addition to personal information such as name, address, date of birth, family structure, and high school from which you are speaking, items that will be exciting when you talk for the first time, for example, your favorite 3 movies, whether you usually use glasses, hot and cold Register your favorite talent and other information. This is an item to set because it might be a trigger for the first time you like the best 3 movies you like and whether you are hot or cold. SNS is one of the unique features of this system that does not make such settings for initial registration. Although the user does not enter the favorite movie best 3, the user can arbitrarily register personal record information such as a movie that has been seen. In addition, the user can set disclosure restrictions based on the time spoken and the number of encounters for each item, such as information that is difficult to disclose as a profile to be disclosed at the first meeting and unhappiness in the past.

For example, the item name illustrated in FIG. 8 is transmitted from the server 10 to the wireless terminal 20 and displayed on the touch panel 23 of the wireless terminal 20, and information corresponding to the displayed item name is input by a user operation. It may be transmitted to the server 10. It is not always necessary to input information for all displayed item names.

The server 10 (for example, the user information registration unit 101) sets whether or not to perform personal record automatic collection (S205). In addition to receiving information input by the user from the wireless terminal 20, the server 10 can acquire the user's profile information from other systems. The server 10 can set whether or not to execute such automatic acquisition processing for each user of the wireless terminal 20. FIG. 9 illustrates setting items related to automatic collection. For example, the user can operate the wireless terminal 20 to set in the server 10 whether information can be automatically acquired from a purchase history such as an online shopping site. In addition, it is possible to set in the server 10 whether information can be automatically acquired for information posted by a user on a blog, Twitter, or social network. Furthermore, it is possible to set in the server 10 whether or not to perform automatic voice registration using sounds around the user (that is, the wireless terminal 20).

Here, the mechanism of automatic voice registration will be described. The wireless terminal 20 generates a sound generated from a user's reaction such as a laughter and a means for recognizing a user's voice as a voiceprint among voices input via a microphone. You may have a means to recognize, and a means to recognize the sound (for example, eating sound, drinking sound, etc.) emitted by a user's action. Note that a sample (template) of a sound to be recognized, such as a user's voiceprint or a sound emitted from a reaction, is registered in the wireless terminal 20 in advance. Next, the wireless terminal 20 converts the recognized sounds into texts, and in those texts, based on the user's voice, the user's reaction, and the user's action sound, The keywords that you are interested in can be extracted based on the extraction criteria such as the action sound that comes out or the words that you have a large reaction to. For example, a threshold value for the number of appearances of words or action sounds may be pre-registered in the wireless terminal 20, and a word or action sound exceeding the threshold value may be extracted. A number may be extracted. As for the magnitude of the reaction, words that are uttered when the reaction is relatively large and words that are uttered when the reaction is relatively small are registered in the wireless terminal 20 in advance, You may extract words with large reaction by comparing the words. The extracted words are transmitted from the wireless terminal 20 to the server 10 and added to the profile of the user of the wireless terminal 20. In addition, about this automatic voice registration, when a user requires, it shall be able to select itself whether to register once a day, for example. In addition to the above-described automatic voice registration, the wireless terminal 20 executes part of the above-described processing and transmits the execution result to the server 10 or another processing device, in addition to the wireless terminal 20 performing voice recognition processing or the like. Then, the server 10 or another processing device may execute the remaining processing.

Next, the server 10 (for example, the user information registration unit 101) executes a participation application process for a predetermined event (S207). For example, the wireless terminal 20 transmits an application for participation in a predetermined event to the server 10 by a user operation. Upon receiving the participation application, the server 10 stores the identification information of the user of the wireless terminal 20 as an event participant.

Note that the execution order of the above-described steps S201 to S207 is not limited to the above-described example, and may be executed in an appropriate order and at an appropriate timing. Steps S201 to S207 may be executed in response to a request from the wireless terminal 20, or a part thereof may be omitted.

FIG. 10 is a detailed flowchart of the common process (S103) for all users.
Hereinafter, as an example of an event, a case where an international exchange party of 1000 people using the entire campus of University A is held will be described. There are multiple venues for events in the university, but there is a large venue for the main stage. It is assumed that the participant has performed event participation registration in a state in which the above-described profile registration has been completed in advance, and each user has the wireless terminal 20. In addition, the example of an event is not restricted to the above-mentioned example, An appropriate event may be sufficient.

First, the server 10 displays the common item ranking of all event participating users on a display device (not shown) (S301). For example, the main venue has a huge screen as a display device, and the server 10 (for example, the event participant common point extraction unit 103) is included in the profiles of participants who have registered for participation in the event (1000 people in this example). Are displayed in order from the most common points (ranking display). Further, the server 10 can transmit these information to the wireless terminal 20 of the user registered to participate in the event and display the information on the wireless terminal 20.

Fig. 11 shows an example of the ranking display screen. In this example, as an example, the most common point is that the home university is A University, and the next highest number is that it is from the vicinity of A University. In addition, for an international exchange party, you may display which country the most people came from. The person on the main stage (organizer) can use this information as a trigger to boost the story by proceeding with the first moderator of the event. It will also be an opportunity for participants to talk.

In addition, the server 10 (for example, the event participant attribute extraction unit 102) creates and outputs participant statistical information (S303). For example, the server 10 can create statistical information of profile information of all event participants. Here, it is possible not to disclose personal information such as the name and email address of the user who applied for participation in the event. In order to provide statistical information to the event organizer, the server 10 prints the created statistical information from the output unit 13, transmits it to the event organizer's terminal via the communication interface 14, It can be stored in a device that the terminal can access. This eliminates the need for an event organizer to take a questionnaire for grasping attributes for each event.

Note that the execution order of the above-described steps S301 and S303 is not limited to the above example, and may be executed in an appropriate order and at an appropriate timing. Steps S301 and S303 may be executed according to an operation of a predetermined terminal or the like, or one or both of them may be omitted.

FIG. 12 is a detailed flowchart of the common item display process (S105) between the users.
There are several event venues in addition to the main stage. Explain how users meet at each venue. First, in summary, the map screen displayed on the touch panel 23 of the wireless terminal 20 of the user A (first wireless terminal; described as wireless terminal 20A in FIG. 12) displays the position of the wireless terminal 20 (for example, May be arranged in the center) and the position of the wireless terminal 20 (second wireless terminal; referred to as wireless terminal 20B in FIG. 12) of the other user registered in the social network system 1 in the display map, The encounter type desired by each user is displayed. These are displayed based on information received from the server 10. The user A of the wireless terminal 20 </ b> A sends his / her wireless terminal 20 </ b> A and the wireless terminal 20 of the user B to at least one wireless terminal 20 of the user B whose matching type matches among the displayed other wireless terminals 20. Perform an association operation (speak request). The wireless terminal 20 of the user B is notified via the server 10. The user B who has been consulted to speak in this way performs an agreement operation when agreeing to display mutual common topic information (described later), and an agreement signal is transmitted to the server 10. The server 10 that has received the consent signal extracts the common item of the profile information of the user A and the user B, and displays the extracted common item on the wireless terminals of the user A and the user B.

Hereinafter, this will be described in detail with reference to FIG. First, the server 10 (for example, the user map creation unit 104) creates map information including the location information of each wireless terminal 20 and the type of encounter of the user of each wireless terminal, and transmits it to each wireless terminal 20 ( S401). Each wireless terminal 20 displays a map of the position of each wireless terminal 20 and the type of encounter on the display unit (touch panel) (S403). As the type of encounter, for example, a corresponding color may be determined in advance, and the color may be displayed at the position of each wireless terminal 20. An example of a map display screen is shown on the left side of FIG. Note that the server 10 may transmit only information about the wireless terminal 20 in the vicinity of the position of the wireless terminal 20 (for example, within a predetermined display map) to the wireless terminal 20.

The user of the wireless terminal 20 refers to the map display, identifies the wireless terminal of the user who speaks (or has already started talking), and performs an association operation described later. For example, one of the wireless terminals 20 (in this example, the wireless terminal 20A) is a map-displayed wireless terminal 20A and at least one of the plurality of wireless terminals 20 (in this example, the wireless terminal 20B). It is detected by the operation unit (touch panel) 23 that the associating operation for associating is performed (S405).

Here, the associating operation is, for example, a swipe operation from the position of the wireless terminal 20A displayed on the display unit 23 to the position of the wireless terminal 20B. At this time, the radio terminal 20A may display an arrow from the position of the radio terminal 20A mapped on the display unit 23 to the position of the radio terminal 20B in accordance with the above-described swipe operation. An example screen in this state is shown in the center of FIG. Note that the swipe operation and the direction of the arrow may be reversed. Further, the associating operation may be a pinch operation starting from the position of the wireless terminal 20A and the position of the wireless terminal 20B displayed on the display unit 23 as a map. In addition, an appropriate operation for associating its own wireless terminal 20A with another wireless terminal 20 may be used.

The wireless terminal 20A that has detected the association operation transmits a talk request to the wireless terminal 20B to the server 10 (S407). The server 10 (for example, the request processing unit 109) transfers the talk request received from the wireless terminal 20A to the wireless terminal 20B (S409). When receiving the talk request, the wireless terminal 20B displays on the display unit (touch panel) 23 that there is a talk request from the wireless terminal 20A (S411). As an example, an arrow from the wireless terminal 20A to the wireless terminal 20B as shown in the center of FIG. 13 may be displayed on the display unit 23 of the wireless terminal 20B.

The user of the wireless terminal 20B performs an agreement operation or a rejection operation for the displayed talk request. The consent operation may be, for example, a swipe operation from the position of the wireless terminal 20B displayed on the display unit 23 of the wireless terminal 20B to the position of the wireless terminal 20A, and the operation unit (touch panel) 23 of the wireless terminal 20B performs this operation. Detect (S413). At this time, the radio terminal 20B may display an arrow from the position of the radio terminal 20B mapped on the display unit 23 to the position of the radio terminal 20A according to the above-described swipe operation. A screen example of this state is shown on the right side of FIG. In addition, for example, an agreement button or a rejection button may be displayed on the display unit 23, and it may be detected by the operation unit 23 that either one is tapped, and an agreement operation or a rejection operation is detected. Note that the consent operation and the rejection operation are not limited to the above-described examples, and may be appropriate operations determined in advance.

In the above-described example, the description has been given between the two of the wireless terminal 20A and the wireless terminal 20B. It may be extracted.
FIG. 14 shows another example of the association operation and the consent operation. The wireless terminal 20 can set the virtual space 70 on the map display. The space can be anywhere on the map. For example, the virtual space 70 can be set by performing a predetermined operation (such as a double-tap operation) as part of an area on the map display by the user's operation. For example, the above-described consent operation may be an operation of dragging the position of the own wireless terminal 20 displayed as a map on the wireless terminal 20 and moving it within the virtual space 70. Further, the above-described association operation may be an operation of dragging the position of each of the other wireless terminals 20 displayed as a map on the wireless terminal 20 and moving it within the virtual space 70. These operations are detected by the operation unit 23. One of the consent operation and the association operation may be a swipe operation from the position of one wireless terminal 20 toward the position of the other wireless terminal 20 as in the above-described example. FIG. 14 shows an example in which the association operation is performed by a swipe operation as in the above example (center of FIG. 14) and the virtual space 70 is used for the consent operation (right side of FIG. 14). Such an operation using the virtual space 70 is effective when associating three or more users as one group, but can also be used when associating two users.

Returning to FIG. 12, the description of the processing is continued. When the wireless terminal 20B detects a rejection operation, the wireless terminal 20B transmits a rejection signal to the server 10, transfers the rejection signal from the server 10 (for example, the request processing unit 109) to the wireless terminal 20A, and ends the process (not shown).

On the other hand, when the radio terminal 20B detects an agreement operation at the operation unit 23 (S413), it transmits an agreement signal to the server 10 (S415). The server 10 (for example, the event participant common point extraction unit 103) that has received the consent signal extracts a common term between the profile information of the user of the radio terminal 20A and the profile information of the user of the radio terminal 20B (S417). The server 10 may record the extracted common item in the recording unit 107. The server 10 transmits the extracted common term to the radio terminal 20A and the radio terminal 20B (S419). Note that the server 10 can store that the wireless terminal 20A and the wireless terminal 20B are in conversation.

The wireless terminal 20A and the wireless terminal 20B display the common item received from the server 10 on the display unit 23 (S421). FIG. 15 shows an example of a common item display screen. In the associated wireless terminal 20 of each user, when common items between individuals such as a country that has been visited so far, and items required such as a person familiar with a Japanese garden match, such information is displayed. . Nothing is displayed if the common points and the desired items do not match. However, if the button to guess is pushed, the common point to guess can be displayed. A mechanism for inferring common points is performed by tagging registered by other users described later. Users can have a conversation based on items such as the common points shown. As a result, the question “Where have you been to?” Is not asked. Further, the user can disclose personal information that is not in common by changing the disclosure level in the conversation. The same operation is performed when more than two users enter the virtual space 70. In particular, it can be used for setting ice breaks and discussion topics in corporate training for users exceeding two.

Thus, the conversation between the users of the radio terminal 20A and the radio terminal 20B can be promoted by using the displayed common item as a trigger. Note that, when the server 10 receives the consent signal from the wireless terminal 20B, the wireless terminal 20A and the wireless terminal 20B may not be displayed on the map display of the other wireless terminals 20.

Thereafter, when the conversation between the users is terminated, either the wireless terminal 20A or the wireless terminal 20B performs a conversation termination operation. The conversation end operation is a predetermined operation on the operation unit 23 such as tapping the end button, dragging the display of the own wireless terminal in the virtual space 70 set on the map display, and moving it outside the virtual space 70. It's okay. These operations are detected by the operation unit 23 of the operated radio terminal 20A or 20B (S423), and the radio terminal 20A or 20B transmits a conversation end signal to the server 10 (S425).

FIG. 16 is a detailed flowchart of post-conversation processing.
When receiving the conversation end signal from the wireless terminal 20A or the wireless terminal 20B, the server 10 changes the user status (for example, information indicating the relationship) between the wireless terminal 20A and the wireless terminal 20B (S501). The conversation end signal only needs to be received from at least one of the radio terminal 20A and the radio terminal 20B, and the combination of the radio terminal 20A and the radio terminal 20B is stored at an appropriate timing after receiving the consent signal as described above. I can leave.

For example, a user who has experienced talking into the virtual space 70, such as the user of the wireless terminal 20A and the wireless terminal 20B, is assumed to be “a person who has met”, and other users who have received a talk request. Even if the user changes to a user status such as "Human who has passed the same event", other users who have not communicated but participated in the same event may change Good. Among these, the wireless terminals 20 of users who have experience of conversation (for example, users who have entered the virtual space 70), that is, the wireless terminals 20 of the above-mentioned “humans who have met” are described after the event. Can also send and receive messages via this system. When a social card game is being performed, the card may be obtained based on the number of common points extracted by the server 10 or the number of attracted items selected from the common points. Furthermore, a new card may be acquired by participating in an event or leaving an arrival history by GPS technology at a specific place. The ability to acquire new cards based on such encounters with real people and behavioral history is a mechanism that accelerates the encounter with people who have access to social network systems and the provision of recorded information.

In addition, by the operation of each user of the wireless terminal 20, the server 10 can register in the recording unit 107 conversation information such as a story (theme) that is commonly raised in the conversation (S503). When performing automatic voice registration, the voice input from the microphone or the like of the wireless terminal 20 is recognized by the wireless terminal 20 or the server 10 and automatically registered in the server 10. In addition, tags can be created for item words based on the result of conversation in order to help infer common points with other users in the future. For example, as a historical person to be respected, user A lists Napoleon and user B lists Nobunaga Oda. Although they do not agree as a common point, the user himself or another user who speaks operates the wireless terminal 20. By tagging "persons with innovations that exceed the times", "Yuga Dokson", "Heroes", etc., the esteemed person is inferred as a close attribute, and " The person may be similar, "will be displayed on the screen.

As described above, the wireless terminal 20 of a user who has a conversation experience (for example, a user who has entered the virtual space 70), that is, the wireless terminal 20 of a “person who has met” is also a message after the event. Transmission / reception is possible. Further, the server 10 posts the action of the “person who has met” on the news feed as long as the user agrees. In particular, when the “person who has met” performs an operation that increases or deepens the common points of each other, the server 10 preferentially posts the news feed. Further, when the number of common points of the users who have conversations increases, the wireless terminal 20 of the other user is notified, for example, “User B also went to XX”. Furthermore, when the wireless terminal 20 sees the screen of “person who has met”, a corporate advertisement “This person is interested in such a thing” may be issued in order to increase common points. As described above, the social network system according to the present embodiment is a system having a mechanism for deepening the relationship even after meeting once.

According to the present embodiment, by providing a topic that is a common point between users, a system that makes use of recorded information to deepen exchanges and relationships between users while preventing leakage of other personal information is provided. can do. In addition, it is possible to construct a system in which the recorded information is useful for reducing the merit of recording information on the user side and further deepening the exchange and relationship between the first meeting people. In addition, it is possible to provide a system that uses recorded information for human interaction, which is the original purpose of a social network service.

As described above, the present embodiment has been described by taking an international exchange event as an example. However, even if it is not an event, social network system users may meet by chance, and this is also applicable. The operation is the same as described above. Moreover, although the first meeting of people in the present embodiment has been described as an example, the present invention can be applied to a mechanism for presenting a common point that has existed between close friends for many years. As shown in FIG. 17, only a person who has met can be used for waiting by a mechanism for displaying on the map. For example, in the map display as described above, a waiting button is further displayed (the diagram on the left side of FIG. 17), and when the waiting button is pressed by a user operation, the server displays only a user who has already met the wireless terminal. (The figure on the right side of FIG. 17). Furthermore, although it mentioned as a social network system in this Embodiment, the sub application of the existing social network system (system which provides a social network service) may be sufficient. In this case, registration information registered by the above-described profile setting or automatic personal memory collection is only disclosed as registration information from the existing social network system, and other operations are the same.

In addition, the social network system 1 of the present embodiment is a system that guarantees the reliability of meeting personal information and showing consent in order to prevent leakage of personal information, as in existing social network systems, Name search, community search, and the like can be configured so that the user cannot use them.

The present invention can be used for a social network system using a wireless terminal.
