1. Posting Application The present invention provides a posting application implemented in a user device used by a user. Here, the user device refers to any type of information processing device such as a smartphone, a tablet, or a personal computer. When this posting application is implemented in the user device, the user can use the user device to read articles of various contents (for example, recommended meal reports, recommended shop introductions, diaries that record travel processes, Articles such as a tour route within a specific region, a tour route between a plurality of regions, introduction of traditional crafts, etc. can be posted.

Examples of functions provided by this application are as follows, but are not limited thereto.
・ Easy posting function
・ "Code generation function"
・ Travel diary function

1.1 "Easy posting function"
“Easy posting function” is a function that allows a contributor to easily post. When a poster starts a posting application implemented in the user device (for example, when the poster taps the icon of the posting application), the poster inputs a predetermined input form for posting the poster's interests. Will be guided to enter the article according to. For example, the contributor is guided to input the content of the posting in the order of moving image, description, position information, and map according to the predetermined input form. In this way, the posting application guides what kind of content should be entered in what order, so that the contributor can easily post using the posting application. . Thereby, it is possible to reduce the burden on the contributor when posting. Furthermore, when a poster inputs an article according to a predetermined input form for posting the poster's interests, a part of the article may be automatically input. For example, when a poster inputs store location information according to the predetermined input form, a map corresponding to the location information may be automatically displayed. The contributor can check the content of the posting on the posting information browsing screen for browsing the content of the posting.

For example, the user can record a daily event, record a travel process, etc. like a diary using a posting application. The user can also post the created diary using the “easy posting function” of the posting application. As a result, the contents of the diary can be easily shared with others.

1.2 "Code generation function"
The “code generation function” is a function that makes it possible to generate a code that represents at least the address of a page on which a post is posted. Here, the code may be an arbitrary code. For example, the code may be a one-dimensional code (for example, a barcode) or a two-dimensional code (for example, a QR code). For example, a contributor can generate a certain code for a certain posting by using a posting application, and can generate another code for another posting. In this way, the code is generated for each post, and is output in a manner that allows the code generated for one post to be distinguished from the code generated for another post (for example, The code is displayed on the user device or output from the printer). By distributing or distributing this code to a person other than the contributor, it is possible to spread posts associated with the code. This is because a person other than the contributor can view the post associated with the code by reading the code using the code reading application. To further spread the post associated with the code by generating code for that post and further distributing or distributing the code to a different person than the poster It is possible. As described above, by repeating the code generation → browsing the post → generating the code → browsing the post →...

1.3 “Travel Diary Function”
The “journey diary function” is a function that enables a series of events to be recorded in a plurality of steps. For example, the user can record the trip as a series of events by using the posting application and expressing each point traveled by the user in each step. The user may input position information at each step so that the transition of the position in a series of events such as a trip can be confirmed on the map. Or, for example, a user uses a posting application to express a series of spots that can be moved from a certain tourist spot in a short time in each step, thereby collecting the tour routes from that tourist spot as a series of events. It is possible to record. The user may input position information in each step, and the transition of the position in a series of events such as the excursion route from the sightseeing spot may be confirmed on the map. Or, for example, the user can record the production process of traditional crafts as a series of events by using a posting application to express the steps until traditional crafts are made from materials in each step. Is possible.

Also, it is possible to generate a code of a series of events recorded using the “journey diary function” using the “code generation function”. This allows another user to view a series of recorded events by reading the generated code using a code reading application. For example, a series of spots where a user who visits a sight-seeing spot and reads the code can be migrated from the sight-seeing spot by installing a code of a series of events that collectively record the excursion route from the sight-seeing spot. It is possible to guide to Or, for example, by placing a code of a series of events that record the production process of traditional crafts next to the traditional crafts lined up at the storefront, you can visit the storefront and make it a traditional craft product. It is possible to provide the interested user with details of the traditional craft (for example, the history, manufacturing method, characteristics, charm, etc. of the traditional craft).

In the related information display area 125, the information input in the related information input area 115 and the map area 116 shown in FIG. 1D is reflected.

FIG. 1H shows a screen 130 displayed on the user device. The screen 130 is a screen transitioned from the screen 120 when the code generation area 122 shown in the screen 120 of FIG. 1F is selected. Therefore, the screen 130 is an example of a screen showing a still image displaying the generated code. In the example shown in FIG. 1H, the screen 130 includes a thumbnail display area 131 of a moving image included in the posted information, a text display area 132, a code display area 133, and a position information display area 134.

The thumbnail displayed in the thumbnail display area 131 is generated based on the moving image included in the posting information. The thumbnail displayed in the thumbnail display area 131 may indicate one frame of a moving image included in the posting information. By viewing the thumbnail display area 131, the user can easily grasp the content of the moving image before playing the moving image.

In the code display area 133, a code generated in response to the selection of the code generation area 122 is displayed. This code represents at least the address of post information (or a page on which post information is posted). Therefore, the user device can access the posted information (or the page on which the posted information is posted) having the address represented by the code by reading this code. As a result, the posting information can be displayed on the screen 120 on the user device (for example, the screen 120 in FIG. 1F).

In the text display area 132, the title, store name, description, etc. of the posted information are displayed, and in the position information display area 134, the position information included in the posted information is displayed. Thereby, the user can grasp more contents of the moving image before reproducing the moving image. Therefore, the thumbnail displayed in the thumbnail display area 131, the information displayed in the text display area 132, and the information displayed in the position information display area 134 allow the user to grasp the contents of the video before playing the video. An example of additional information to help. Another example of additional information for helping the user to grasp the content of the moving image before playing the moving image is moving image playback time information. In the example shown in FIG. 1H, a comment “Let's find Japan you don't know in 30 seconds” is displayed on the screen 130. It can also be understood that the reproduction time is about 30 seconds. As described above, the screen 130 includes additional information (for example, video thumbnail, video playback time information, post information title, store name, store name, etc.) to help the user understand the content of the video before playing the video. Is displayed in the vicinity of the code, the user can acquire information that cannot be understood from the code alone. In the information diffusion field such as advertising, it is important that the amount of information presented to the user is large.

In the example shown in FIG. 1H, the code is a known type of QR code in which the logo is arranged at the center and the code information is arranged radially around the logo. However, the code is displayed in the code display area 133. The code to be played is not limited to this. The code displayed in the code display area 133 may be an arbitrary type of QR code, an arbitrary two-dimensional code other than the QR code, or a one-dimensional code.

In this way, as shown in FIG. 1F, the post information browsing screen that anyone can browse has a code generation area, and is generated as described in relation to FIG. 1H. The code can be easily transmitted electronically. Therefore, the second user device that has received the code generated in the first user device reads the code, thereby posting the posted information (or posted information) having the address represented by the code. Page), posting information can be displayed by accessing the posting information (or the page on which the posting information is posted), and the screen displaying the posting information (i.e., By selecting the code generation area on the posting information browsing screen), the second user device can also generate a code. Accordingly, since code generation can be performed not only at the code transmission source but also at the code transmission destination, it is possible to efficiently spread the posted information using the code. In this way, by increasing the means for accessing the posted information, the number of accesses to the posted information increases, and as a result, the advertising effect of the store or the like described in the posted content represented by the posted information increases.

FIG. 1I shows a screen 140 displayed on the user device. The screen 140 is an example of a screen for creating, browsing, and updating a diary. The screen 140 is a screen that can be browsed after the diary icon shown in the screen 100 of FIG. 1A is selected. The screen 140 includes a diary addition area 141 for adding a diary and a diary browsing area 142 for browsing a created diary.

The diary addition area 141 and the diary browsing area 142 are configured to be selectable. When the diary addition area 141 is selected, the screen changes to a screen (not shown) for creating a diary. The user can create a diary according to a predetermined input form for posting a diary by a user operation similar to the user operation in the case of posting shown in FIGS. 1B to 1E. Thereby, it is possible to reduce the burden of creating a user's diary. By selecting the diary browsing area 142, it is possible to browse the created diary displayed in the selected diary browsing area 142. The predetermined input format for posting the diary may be partly or entirely different from the predetermined input format for posting the user's interests.

In the step detail area 151, a date, an image (for example, a still image, a moving image), a time, a spot name, position information (for example, an address), etc. regarding each step can be input. The entered content constitutes one step in a diary summarizing a series of events. When the step addition area 152 is selected, a step detail area 151 is further displayed, allowing the contents of another step to be input. After making necessary inputs to the step detail area 151 to the cover selection area 154 as appropriate, the recording area 155 is selected, so that a series of events is collected as a diary and the step detail area 151 to the cover selection area 154 is selected. It is possible to record the contents appropriately input to the.

For example, by inputting information about each tourist spot at each step, it is possible to record a series of events that summarize the excursion route from the tourist spot. Also, for example, by inputting at each step until the traditional craft is made from the material, it is possible to record a series of events that summarize the production process of the traditional craft.

FIG. 1L shows a screen 160 displayed on the user device. The screen 160 is an example of a diary browsing screen for browsing a diary summarizing a series of events. The screen 160 is a screen transitioned from the screen 140 of FIG. 1I by selecting the diary browsing area 142 shown in FIG. 1I. The example shown in FIG. 1L includes a map area 161, a code generation icon 162 for requesting to generate a code, and a step display area 163 in which a series of events are expressed in a step format.
