Communication system 1 may include a beacon transmitter 40, as shown in FIG. The beacon transmitter 40 is a device that is installed at a predetermined place and periodically identifies its own device, and transmits a beacon signal including a beacon ID that is a substitute for position information.

<HW configuration of beacon transmitter 40>
As shown in FIG. 10, the beacon transmitter 40 includes a beacon transmitter 412, and may or may not include a communication I / F 411.

Communication I / F411 sends and receives various data via the network 30. The communication may be executed by wire or wirelessly, and any communication protocol may be used as long as mutual communication can be executed. The communication I / F 411 has a function of executing communication with the server 10 via the network 30.

<Embodiment 1>
In the communication system 1 according to the present embodiment, in a talk room in which a plurality of users participate, each user sends a statement and information about a position where the terminal exists to the server 10. Users of terminals 20a to 20d are participating in the same talk room.

The talk room is not limited, but as an example, in the messaging service provided by the server 10, a user interface that enables users who use the messaging service to display the transmitted / received contents on the user's terminal. The talk room may be referred to as a chat room. The talk room is basically formed with the consent of both users who are aware of each other in the messaging service provided by the server 10, but a talk in which an unspecified number of users can freely participate. Rooms can also be formed. Such a talk room in which an unspecified number of users can freely participate is sometimes called an open chat.

Open chat is a group chat in which multiple users can participate anonymously. Anonymous participation here means that the server 10 that provides the messaging service can participate in the talk room with a user name different from the registered user name. While open chat allows anyone to participate, it has the aspect that it is highly anonymous and it is difficult to judge the credibility of the content of the message. In such an open chat, the user himself / herself recognizes the existence of the open chat (as an example, not limited to the fact that there is an open chat related to a promotional product such as an advertisement, and how to participate in the open chat. You can participate by yourself (recognized by checking the articles listed), or you can participate by being invited by other users who are participating in the chat room.

By the way, in open chat, you can participate anonymously, that is, you can send a message, so you may make irresponsible remarks. However, the authenticity of the content of the message may be difficult for other users participating in the open chat to understand. Moreover, even if it is a normal chat, the user name can be set as a nickname or a pseudonym. Therefore, as with open chat, the authenticity of the message may not be certain. Therefore, the server 10 guarantees the credibility of the remarks of a certain talk room (which may be a normal talk room or an open chat) by changing the display mode of the remarks of each user. To do. Specifically, as an example, not a limitation, it is assumed that a plurality of users are talking about a festival called AA festival. At this time, it is assumed that the user of the terminal 20b is outside the venue of the AA festival and sends a message "A store of AA festival, is it really good?". At this time, the terminal 20b transmits information regarding the position of the terminal 20b to the server 10 together with a message.

On the other hand, the user of the terminal 20c is at the AA festival venue and sends a message "Huh? Yes? AA festival A store, isn't it so good?" To the server 10 together with information about the position of the terminal 20c. .. In addition, the user of the terminal 20d is also at the AA festival venue, and sends a message "Isn't it? The cost performance is bad considering the waiting time?" Along with the information about the position of the terminal 20d to the server 10.

The server 10 transmits the message information and the information indicating the display mode to the terminal 20a displaying the talk room. Then, according to the instruction from the server 10, the terminal 20a displays the message of the user of the terminal 20b not at the AA festival venue, the message of the user of the terminal 20c at the AA festival venue, and the message of the user of the terminal 20d. Is displayed differently.

In the example of FIG. 2, the message of the terminal 20b not at the AA festival venue is displayed with outline characters on a black background, whereas the message of the

terminals

20c and 20d at the AA festival venue is displayed normally. , The display mode is different. As a result, the user of the terminal 20a can presume that the message of the terminal 20c and the terminal 20d is a statement at the AA festival venue and has high credibility, while the message of the terminal 20b is a statement outside the AA festival venue. Therefore, it can be estimated that the credibility is low. The display mode itself in FIG. 2 may be reversed, and the message of the user who is in the AA festival venue is displayed in black outline characters, and the message of the user who is not in the AA festival venue is displayed as normal. You may do so.

Although not shown in FIG. 2, since the user of the terminal 20a also participates in the talk room, a message can be transmitted to the talk room. Here, what each terminal transmits to the talk room is not limited to a message, but may be various contents. That is, the content exchanged in the talk room is character information (text data of information related to the balance content) input by the user using his / her own terminal 20, image information including photos and stamps (for example, the user). It includes, but is not limited to, various file information such as audio files, video files, and data files, and advertising information.
Hereinafter, a detailed description will be given.

(1) Functional Configuration of User's Terminal As shown in FIG. 1, the control unit 21 of the terminal 20 includes a message processing unit 211 and a display processing unit 212.

The message processing unit 211 receives the input from the user and / or the input of the content including the message received by the communication I / F 12 according to the messaging application provided by the messaging service provided by the server 10, and causes the display processing unit 212 to receive the input. Instruct to display. When the input from the user is received, the communication I / F 22 is instructed to transmit the received input content to the server 10. Further, the target to be processed by the message processing unit 211 is not limited to the text message input by the user to the talk room, but also includes image information including photos and stamps, audio files, video files, data files, and the like. Good.

Further, when the message processing unit 211 transmits the content from the terminal 20 to the server 10, the message processing unit 211 transmits the content together with the information regarding the position of the terminal 20. The information regarding the position of the terminal 20 may or may not be latitude and longitude information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 25 using GNSS. Further, the information regarding the position of the terminal 20 is not limited to a signal capable of specifying the position information received by the terminal 20, but as an example, the beacon ID included in the beacon signal transmitted by the beacon transmitter and the terminal 20. The base station ID of the connected base station may or may not be used for communication. The message processing unit 211 may or may not transmit information about the position of the terminal 20 together with the message. Further, the message processing unit 211 may or may not transmit the message and the information regarding the position of the terminal 20 individually at different timings. The message processing unit 211 may send the message when the input of the message is received from the user, and may send the information about the position periodically regardless of the input of the message. You don't have to.

The display processing unit 212 receives the input from the user and / or the input of the content including the message received by the communication I / F 12 according to the messaging application provided by the messaging service provided by the server 10, and displays the display unit 24. Instruct to display in the area. When the input from the user is received, the communication I / F 22 is instructed to transmit the received input content to the server 10. The display processing unit 212 displays a message (content) in a designated display mode or a display mode based on the location of the terminal that sent the message for each message to be displayed in the talk room according to the instruction from the server 10. It may or may not be.
The above is the functional configuration of the terminal 20.

(2) Functional Configuration of Server As shown in FIG. 1, the control unit 11 of the server 10 includes a message processing unit 111 and a determination unit 112.

The message processing unit 111 has a function of managing a talk room for exchanging information between users. The message processing unit 111 relays the exchange of contents including the contents between the terminals provided with the messaging service provided by the server 10. That is, when the content is transmitted from a certain user to the talk room, the talk room is specified and the content is transmitted to another user belonging to the talk room.

Further, when the message processing unit 111 receives the content for the talk room from the user's terminal 20, the message processing unit 111 requests the determination unit 112 to determine the display mode based on the information regarding the position of the terminal 20. Then, the received content is transmitted to the terminals 20 of each user participating in the talk room so as to display the content received from the determination unit 112 in the display mode designated. The message processing unit 111 stores the received message in the storage unit 15 in association with the position information thereof. When the message processing unit 111 individually receives the message and the information about the position of the terminal 20 from the terminal 20, the timing of receiving the message and the timing of receiving the information about the position are within a predetermined time. (When the terminal 20 sends a message, it is within a time that can be identified as being in that place, and it is not limited, but within 1 minute as an example), and when the message is sent, information about the position It is determined that the user is in, and the message and the information about the position are associated and stored.

Based on the request from the message processing unit 111, the determination unit 112 determines whether the talk room in which the received message is written and the terminal 20 to which the message is transmitted are in a place related to the talk room. The result is notified to the message processing unit 111. When the received message is the latitude and longitude information measured by the positioning system of the terminal, the determination unit 112 refers to the position information 312 of the position management information 310 and determines whether or not there is a matching range. .. Then, when there is a matching range, the corresponding place name 311 is specified. Further, when the received message is associated with the beacon ID or the base station ID, the determination unit 112 determines whether or not the received message matches any of the associated IDs as the position information 312. Identify the corresponding location name 311. Further, the information regarding the position associated with the received message may be text information of a name such as a place name or a store name in addition to the latitude / longitude information and the beacon ID. The text information of the name such as the place name or the store name may be used as it is as the location information 312. The determination unit 112 may notify the message processing unit 111 of the specified place name, or instead of notifying the place name, the terminal 20 that has sent the message is a place related to the talk room to which the message was sent. It may be determined whether or not the user is in the message processing unit 111, and the result may be notified to the message processing unit 111.
The above is the functional configuration of the server 10.

<Data>
FIG. 3A is a data conceptual diagram showing a data configuration example of the message management information 300 stored in the server 10. The message management information 300 is information for managing the sender of each message and the position information at the time of transmission. As shown in FIG. 3A, the message management information 300 is information in which the user ID 301, the content information 302, and the position information 303 are associated with each other.

The user ID 301 is identification information for uniquely identifying the user who is the speaker of the message. The user ID 301 is information that can uniquely identify each user in the messaging service provided by the server 10.

The content information 302 is information indicating the content of the content transmitted by the user indicated by the corresponding user ID. If the content information 302 is a message, it is the text information thereof. Further, the content information 302 may be an image (still image, moving image), audio, map information, or a website address.

The location information 303 is information about the location where the corresponding user ID sent a message using the terminal 20. The location information 303 is used to identify the place where each user has transmitted the corresponding content information 302, and to specify whether or not the content information 302 has been transmitted at a place related to the talk and whether or not the content information 302 has been transmitted at a specific place. In the example shown in FIG. 3A, the position information 303 shows an example in which the latitude and longitude information is used as the position information, but the position information 303 is not limited to the latitude and longitude information. Information other than latitude and longitude information may be used as long as the location where the corresponding content information 302 is transmitted can be specified. The position information 303 is not limited, and as an example, the beacon ID of the beacon transmitter or the base station ID of the base station arranged at each position may or may not be used.

In the example shown in FIG. 3A, the user with the user ID "U0201524" sends a message from the position "(X1, Y1)" from his / her own terminal to the content "AA festival A store was very good!". You can understand that you are sending.

FIG. 3B is a data conceptual diagram showing a data configuration example of the position management information 310 stored in the server 10. As shown in FIG. 3B, the position management information 310 is information in which the place name 311 and the position information 312 are associated with each other.

The place name 311 is information for identifying a place in a specific range, and is a display name used as an example of changing the display mode.

The location information 312 is information indicating a range included as the corresponding place name 311. In the example shown in FIG. 3B, an example showing the range of latitude and longitude information is shown, but the position information 312 is not limited to this. As the position information 312, the beacon ID of the beacon transmitter or the base station ID of the base station may or may not be used. When a beacon ID or a base station ID is used, a plurality of beacon IDs or base station IDs may be associated with one place name 311 instead of one.

Further, a plurality of places may be included in one place name of the position management information 310, and the position information associated with the places having different names may be duplicated with each other. It may or may not be. In the example shown in FIG. 3 (b), a plurality of places such as "store A" and "store B" are included in the "AA festival venue".

In the example shown in FIG. 3B, it can be understood that the place name "AA festival" includes the range of "(XA1, YA1) to (XA2, YA2)".

The presence of the message management information 300 shown in FIG. 3A and the location management information 310 shown in FIG. 3B identifies whether or not the content transmitted from the user's terminal 20 is related to a specific location. can do.

<Operation>
FIG. 4 is a sequence diagram showing an example of communication between each device according to the communication system 1. As shown in FIG. 4, the terminal 20b accepts input of a first message from a user as content for a predetermined open chat (may be a talk room; hereinafter, simply referred to as open chat).

When the terminal 20b receives the input of the first message for the open chat, the terminal 20b acquires the first position information indicating the position of the terminal 20b (step S401). Then, the terminal 20b transmits the first position information to the server 10 together with the first message (step S402).

The server 10 confirms that the first location information associated with the received first message is within the predetermined area related to the open chat. Then, in this case, the server 10 sends a first message to the terminals participating in the open chat (

terminals

20a and 20c. Although not shown, transmission to the terminal 20b may be included). At the same time as transmitting, the display of the first message in the first display mode is instructed (step S403). Here, it is confirmed whether the first position information is a position within the predetermined area, but this may be confirmed whether or not it matches the predetermined location instead of the predetermined area (range). ..

When the terminal 20a receives the first message, the terminal 20a displays the first message from the server 10 in the first display mode on the open chat (step S404). Similarly, when the terminal 20c receives the first message from the server 10, the terminal 20c also displays the first message in the first display mode on the open chat (step S405).

On the other hand, the terminal 20c accepts the input of the second message from the user of the terminal 20c for the same open chat (step S406). When the terminal 20c receives the input of the second message from the user, the terminal 20c acquires the second position information of the terminal 20c. Then, the terminal 20c transmits the second position information to the server 10 together with the second message (step S407).

The server 10 confirms that the second location information associated with the received second message is not in the predetermined area related to the open chat. Then, the server 10 transmits a second message to the terminals participating in the open chat (

terminals

20a and 20b; transmission to the terminal 20c is also included although not shown), and at the same time. Instructing the display of the second message in the second display mode (step S408).

In response to this, the terminals 20a and the terminals 20b participating in the talk room display the second message in the second display mode (step S409). The above is an example of the exchange of each device in the communication system 1.

Next, the operation of the terminal 20 for realizing the exchange shown in FIG. 4 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the terminal 20 for realizing the exchange shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the terminal 20 receives the input of a message as the content for the open chat via the input / output unit 23 (YES in step S501), the input / output unit 23 receives the input message. The content is transmitted to the control unit 21.

The message processing unit 211 of the control unit 21 instructs the position information acquisition unit 25 to acquire the position information. Then, the position information acquisition unit 25 acquires the position information and transmits the acquired position information to the control unit 21 (step S502).

The message processing unit 211 transmits the acquired position information together with the input message to the server 10 via the communication I / F 22 (step S503), and ends the processing.

On the other hand, when the communication I / F 22 is receiving the message (YES in step S504) instead of inputting the message (NO in step S501), the communication I / F 22 transmits the received message to the control unit 21. .. The message processing unit 211 of the control unit 21 determines whether or not the instruction of the display mode accompanying the received message is the display instruction of the first display mode (step S505).

When the instruction from the server 10 is the display instruction of the first display mode (YES in step S505), the message processing unit 211 first sends the received message to the display processing unit 212 in the open chat. Instruct to display in the display mode of. According to this instruction, the display processing unit 212 displays the received message on the display unit 24 in the first display mode (step S506), and ends the processing.

On the other hand, when the instruction from the server 10 is not the display instruction of the first display mode (NO in step S505), the message processing unit 211 sends the message received to the display processing unit 212 in the open chat. Is instructed to be displayed in a second display mode different from the first display mode. According to this instruction, the display processing unit 212 displays the received message on the display unit 24 in the second display mode (step S507), and ends the processing.

Next, the operation of the server 10 for realizing the exchange shown in FIG. 4 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 6, the communication I / F 14 of the server 10 is a user ID capable of identifying the sender of the message and a position related to the position of the terminal 20 together with the content (message) input from the terminal 20 to the talk room. Receive information (step S601). The communication I / F 14 transmits the received message to the control unit 11.

The determination unit 112 of the control unit 11 determines whether or not the position information associated with the received message is related to the talk room to which the message was transmitted (step S602).

When the determination unit 112 determines that the position information associated with the received message is a position related to the talk room (YES in step S602), the determination unit 112 transmits to that effect to the message processing unit 111. Then, the message processing unit 111 transmits the received message, the user ID, and the display instruction in the first display mode, which is the display mode of the received message, to the terminal 20 via the communication I / F14. (Step S603), the process ends.

On the other hand, when the determination unit 112 determines that the position information associated with the received message is not in the location related to the talk room (NO in step S602), the determination unit 112 transmits to that effect to the message processing unit 111. Then, the message processing unit 111 transmits the received message, the user ID, and the display instruction in the second display mode, which is the display mode of the received message, to the terminal 20 via the communication I / F14. (Step S604), the process is terminated.

FIG. 7B shows an example of a screen view displayed on the display unit 24 of the terminal 20a as a result of the exchanges shown in FIGS. 4 to 6.

FIG. 7B shows an example in which the display mode of the message 711 is different from that of the message 712 and the message 713. That is, as the first display mode, the

messages

712 and 713 are displayed, and as the second display mode, the message 711 shown in outline characters on a black background is displayed. The display in different display modes is not limited to this, and is realized by changing the character color, changing the character font, changing the shape of the message frame, changing the background color of the message, or a combination thereof. Good.

FIG. 7A shows an example in which a message is displayed without changing the display mode. As can be understood by comparing FIG. 7A and FIG. 7B, the credibility of the message can be understood by the user at a glance by changing the display mode of the message.

In the exchanges shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, it is determined whether or not the position information of the message is related to the transmitted talk room to determine the display mode of the message, which is provided by the server 10. The messaging service may or may not simply identify where the terminal 20 that sent the message was and display the location in association with the message without making this determination. .. That is, as shown in FIG. 7C, information indicating the transmission position of the message may be displayed in association with each message or the sender of the message. In the example of FIG. 7C, it can be understood that the message 711 was transmitted at the BB station, and that the

messages

712 and 713 were both transmitted from within the AA festival venue. The display name may be any name related to the place such as the name of the place, the name of the station, the place name, the store name, and the like.

Further, in FIGS. 4 to 6, the display mode differs depending on whether or not the location information of the message is related to the transmitted talk room, but the server 10 gives permission to transmit the location information. The display mode may be different between the message of the terminal and the message of the terminal that has not given permission to transmit the location information. A user who has given permission to send location information may be configured to display the message as a highly credible message because the transmission of the message is highly reliable.

Further, in the examples shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the server 10 determines the display mode, but the terminal 20 may determine the display mode instead of the server 10. That is, when the server 10 receives the information about the message and the position from any terminal participating in the talk room, the server 10 transmits the information about the message and the position as it is to all the terminals participating in the talk room. To do. Then, the message processing unit 211 of the terminal 20 determines whether or not the received message is a place related to the talk room based on the information regarding the received position, and displays the received message in the same manner as the processing performed by the server 10. The mode may be determined, and the display processing unit 212 may be instructed to display the message in the determined display mode.

<Example 1 modified example>
By the way, as a user of the terminal 20, there is often a desire to see only reliable messages. Therefore, the terminal 20 may receive a message filtering setting from the user, and the terminal 20 may display the message according to the set filtering condition.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the terminal 20. The input / output unit 23 of the terminal 20 receives input of filtering conditions related to message display from the user (step S801). The filtering condition is not limited, and as an example, it may or may not be the display of only the message of the first display mode. Further, the filtering condition may or may not be the display of only the message of the second display mode. Further, the filtering condition may or may not display only the messages related to a specific place. In addition, the filtering condition is the display of only the messages specified by the attributes of the sender of the message (they may be gender or age as an example, but are not limited to these). It may or may not be. The input / output unit 23 transmits the received filtering conditions to the message processing unit 211.

The message processing unit 211 acquires the attributes of each message displayed in the talk room (step S802). The acquisition of the attributes of each message is not limited, but may or may not be acquired from the tag data associated with the message as an example. Further, the acquisition of the message attribute may or may not be acquired by inquiring the server 10 via the communication I / F22. The attribute of the message may be information indicating the characteristics of the message, such as information on the display mode of the message, information on the place where the message was sent, information indicating the characteristics such as the age and gender of the sender of the message, and the like. It may or may not be included.

The message processing unit 211 identifies a message corresponding to the filtering condition set by the user (step S803). As an example, the message processing unit 211 specifies only the message instructed to be displayed in the first display mode by the server 10 when the display of only the message in the first display mode is the filtering condition. To do.

The message processing unit 211 instructs the display processing unit 212 to display only the specified filtered message. The display processing unit 212 displays only the specified filtered message on the talk room (step S804), and ends the processing.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a display example when filtering is executed. FIG. 9A is a diagram showing a display example of the talk room before filtering. As shown in FIG. 9A, it is shown that the

messages

712 and 713 of the first display mode and the messages 711 of the second display mode are mixed.

In the case where it is desired to display only highly credible messages in this state, if only the message in the first display mode is displayed as the filtering condition, as shown in FIG. 9B, the message 712 is displayed. The message 713 and the message 713 are displayed, and the message 711 can be displayed in a mode in which the message 711 is not displayed.

On the other hand, when the filtering condition is set to display only the messages of the second display mode, only the message 711 is displayed and the

other messages

712 and 713 are not displayed as shown in FIG. 9 (c). Can be displayed with.

<Effect of Embodiment 1>
According to the terminal 20 according to the first embodiment, a server that receives a message from each user terminal participating in the talk room, depending on whether or not there is location information regarding the place where the message is transmitted. The display mode is changed according to the instruction from 10.
Thereby, by confirming the display mode of the message of the terminal 20, the user of the terminal 20 can use it as an index of how reliable the message is.

Further, when transmitting a message, the terminal 20 transmits the position information measured by using a positioning system such as GNSS to the server 10. In response to this, the server 10 may instruct the display of the message by changing the display mode between the message sent from the place related to the talk room to which the message is sent and the message not. ..
As a result, the terminal 20 can display the message transmitted to the talk room from the position information of the terminal 20 that transmitted the message in a display mode according to the credibility of the message.

Further, the terminal 20 may display information about the place where the message is transmitted as a display mode of the message. The information about the location here is a place where the message is sent, and may be any name as long as the place can be specified, and may include a city name, a place name, a store name, and the like.
As a result, the terminal 20 can display the information about the position together with the message, so that the user can specify how reliable the remark content is from the place name.

Further, the terminal 20 accepts the filtering condition from the user for the message displayed in the talk room, and displays the message only in the first display mode, or displays the message only in the second ideographic mode. You may do it.
As a result, the terminal 20 can display only the information that the user wants to know, and can prevent the terminal 20 from displaying the information that causes noise to the user.

Further, when the server 10 receives the message from the terminal 20, the server 10 stores the message in the storage unit 15 in association with the position information received together with the message.
As a result, the server 10 can determine the display mode of the message and use it as a material for determining whether to change the display mode of the message.

When participating in a talk room, the terminal 20 can transmit various contents, such as text messages, images, voices, and maps, to the talk room, as an example, not limited to some content.
Therefore, the user can not only browse the contents of the talk room but also send the information to be transmitted to the talk room by himself / herself, and can provide the information to an unspecified number of users.

<Embodiment 2>
In the first embodiment, the terminal 20 transmits the latitude and longitude information acquired by the position information acquisition means provided in the terminal 20 to the server 10 together with the message. It was also explained that the beacon ID included in the beacon signal received by the terminal 20 and the ID of the base station can be used as the position information transmitted by the terminal 20. In the second embodiment, it will be described that in the communication system 1, some reward can be obtained when the terminal 20 satisfies a specific condition.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the communication system 1 according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 10, the communication system 1 includes a beacon transmitter 40. The beacon transmitter 40 is an electronic device that transmits a beacon signal at a predetermined timing. Beacon transmitter 40 according to the embodiment 2 is an apparatus that position is being fixed (in which the beacon transmitter 40 is disposed in which position information is stored in the server 10 in advance), Receiving the beacon signal emitted from the beacon transmitter 40 is determined to exist in the vicinity of the beacon transmitter 40 and can be used as position information.

The terminal 20 according to the second embodiment transmits a beacon signal transmitted from the beacon transmitter 40 or a beacon ID included in the beacon signal as position information to be transmitted together with the message.

Further, the server 10 identifies the position of the terminal 20 based on the beacon signal transmitted together with the message received from the terminal 20 or the beacon ID included in the beacon signal, and determines the display mode of the message.

Further, the control unit 11 of the server 10 includes a specific unit 113. When the received message includes a beacon ID, the identification unit 113 specifies a privilege to be transmitted to the terminal 20 that has transmitted the beacon ID.

<Data>
FIG. 11 is a data conceptual diagram showing a data configuration example of the reward management information 1100. The reward management information is information indicating what kind of privilege is given to the user when the location information is received from the user's terminal 20 and the location information satisfies a specific condition. As shown in FIG. 11, the reward management information 1100 is information in which the beacon ID 1101, the reward condition 1102, and the reward information 1103 are associated with each other.

Beacon ID 1101 is identification information of the beacon transmitter 40 that can uniquely identify the beacon transmitter 40 that can be used as the position information of the terminal 20 transmitted in association with the message. When the beacon ID is received from the terminal 20 together with the message, it means that the user (terminal 20) exists in the vicinity of the beacon transmitter corresponding to the beacon ID.

The reward condition 1102 is not a beacon ID, but information indicating a condition for obtaining a reward when the position information acquisition unit 25 of the user's terminal 20 receives the position information obtained by positioning together with a message.

The reward information 1103 is information indicating the content of the reward transmitted to the terminal 20 when the message including the corresponding beacon ID 1101 is received or when the terminal 20 satisfies the corresponding reward condition 1102. is there. The reward referred to here may be any reward as long as it is of some benefit to the user of the terminal 20. The reward is not limited, but as an example, points that can be used to purchase some products or services on the messaging service provided by the server 10, electronic money, and points that can be used to purchase some products or services outside the messaging service. There may be various forms of reward information such as electronic money, discount coupons and coupons that can be used when purchasing some products or services.

The identification unit 113 of the server 10 specifies the reward information to be transmitted to the user's terminal 20 from the reward management information 1100.

In the example of FIG. 11, when "U0201524" is received as the beacon ID 1101 together with the message, it can be understood that the server 10 transmits "Pr102938.jpg" as the information to be transmitted to the terminal 20 as the reward information 1103. .. In addition, when the location information received from the user's terminal 20 together with the message is within the premises of station D, "Pe1049231.jpg" is transmitted as a concession to be transmitted to the terminal 20 as reward information 1103. I can understand what to do.

<Operation>
FIG. 12 is a sequence diagram showing an example of communication between each device according to the communication system 1, showing the communication when receiving reward information from the server 10 when the terminal 20a satisfies a specific condition. There is.

As shown in FIG. 12, the beacon transmitter 40 periodically transmits a beacon signal (step S1201).

The beacon ID transmitted from the beacon transmitter 40 when the terminal 20a exists in the vicinity of the beacon transmitter 40, that is, when the terminal 20a exists within a predetermined range centered on the position where the beacon transmitter 40 is provided. Receives a beacon signal containing. Then, the terminal 20a transmits a signal including the received beacon ID to the server 10 (step S1202). At this time, the terminal 20a may extract the beacon ID from the received beacon signal and then transmit the beacon ID, or may transmit the received beacon signal itself in association with the user ID of the own terminal. Further, the terminal 20a may transmit a signal including the beacon ID to the server 10 together with the message input from the user.

When the server 10 receives the signal including the beacon ID from the terminal 20a, it confirms that the beacon ID included in the signal satisfies a predetermined condition (step S1203). The server 10 identifies the reward information corresponding to the beacon ID (step S1204). Then, the server 10 transmits the specified reward information to the terminal 20a (step S1205).

When the terminal 20a receives the reward information from the server 10, the terminal 20a displays the received reward information (step S1206). As a result, the user recognizes that the reward has been obtained.

FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the terminal 20 for realizing the exchange shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 13, the communication I / F 22 of the terminal 20 determines whether or not the beacon signal transmitted from the beacon transmitter 40 has been received (step S1301). When the beacon signal is received (YES in step S1301), the communication I / F 22 transmits the received beacon signal to the control unit 21. If the beacon signal is not received (NO in step S1301), the process proceeds to step S1303.

The control unit 21 extracts the beacon ID from the received beacon signal. Then, the extracted beacon ID and the user ID are transmitted to the server 10 via the communication I / F 22 (step S1302). Although the beacon ID is extracted here, as described above, the terminal 20 may not extract the beacon ID and transmit the received beacon signal to the server 10 as it is.

The communication I / F 22 of the terminal 20 determines whether or not the reward information has been received from the server 10 (step S1303). When the reward information is received from the server 10 (YES in step S1303), the communication I / F 22 transmits the received reward information to the control unit 21. The message processing unit 211 of the control unit 21 instructs the display processing unit 212 to display the received reward information. The display processing unit 212 causes the display unit 24 to display the reward information (step S1304), and ends the processing. Even when the reward information has not been received (NO in step S1303), the process ends.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the server 10 for realizing the exchange shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 14, the communication I / F 14 of the server 10 receives a signal including the beacon ID from the terminal 20 from the terminal (step S1401). The communication I / F 14 transmits the received signal to the control unit 11.

Upon receiving the signal including the beacon ID from the terminal 20, the specific unit 113 of the control unit 11 extracts the beacon ID from the signal. Then, it is determined based on whether or not the extracted beacon ID matches any of the beacon ID 1101 of the reward management information 1100. When the beacon ID matching the extracted beacon ID is in the reward management information 1100, the identification unit 113 identifies the corresponding reward information 1103 (step S1402). The specific unit 113 transmits the specified reward information to the message processing unit 111.

The message processing unit 111 transmits the received reward information to the terminal 20 via the communication I / F 14 (step S1403), and ends the processing. As a result, the reward information is displayed on the terminal 20.

In the above description, the terminal 20 has decided to receive the reward information from the server 10, but this is not the case. The terminal 20 may receive reward information together with a beacon signal from a beacon transmitter 40 provided at a specific location. That is, the reward information may be transmitted from the beacon transmitter 40 to the terminal 20, and the beacon transmitter 40 may transmit the reward information together with the beacon signal or separately from the beacon signal. Further, as can be understood from the fact that the reward condition 1102 is set in the reward management information 1100, the processing shown in FIGS. 12 to 14 is acquired by the position information acquisition unit 25 of the terminal 20 instead of the beacon ID. It is also possible to perform processing using the generated position information. In addition, the reward information may be displayed in a talk room that displays a message whose display mode has been changed (or has not been changed) as shown in the first embodiment. When the reward information is displayed in the talk room, it may or may not be displayed only on the terminal 20 of the user who received the reward information.

FIG. 15 is an example of a display screen displayed on the display unit 24 of the terminal 20. As shown in FIG. 15, the terminal 20 displays the reward information 1503 on the display unit 24 together with the

messages

1501 and 1502. In the example shown in FIG. 15, a reward is transmitted from the server 10 for the user visiting the AA festival. By receiving the beacon signal in this way, it can be understood that the user holding the terminal 20 is in the vicinity of the beacon transmitter that transmits the beacon signal, so that the reward is transmitted to the user's terminal. can do.

<Effect of Embodiment 2>
When the terminal 20 receives the beacon signal from the beacon transmitter 40, the terminal 20 transmits the beacon signal or the beacon ID included in the beacon signal to the server 10. When the reward information is associated with the beacon ID, the server 10 transmits the reward information to the terminal 20, and the terminal 20 displays the received reward information. In addition, the terminal 20 can use the position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 25 of the own terminal by the positioning system instead of the beacon ID.
As a result, when the user of the terminal 20 visits a venue where some kind of event is held or a specific building, as an example, not a specific place or limitation, the user receives reward information for the visit. Can be done. Therefore, the user can be motivated to visit a specific place. Also, if you understand that you can get a reward, you can improve the possibility that other users will visit the place.

<Embodiment 3>
In the third embodiment, an example of inviting a user to a specific talk room by visiting a specific place will be described. FIG. 16 is a sequence diagram showing an example of communication between each device according to the communication system 1 and an example of inviting a user to a talk room (open chat).

As shown in FIG. 16, the beacon transmitter 40 transmits a beacon signal (step S1201).

When the terminal 20a receives the beacon signal, it transmits a signal including the beacon ID of the received beacon signal to the server 10 (step S1202).

When the server 10 receives the signal from the terminal 20a, the server 10 specifies a link (URL (Uniform Resource Locator) as an example, not limited) for opening a talk room (open chat) corresponding to the beacon ID included in the signal (step). S1603). Then, the server 10 transmits the specified chat URL to the terminal 20a (step S1604).

The terminal 20a displays the URL received from the server 10 (step S1606). Then, the user of the terminal 20a receives an operation on the URL (not limited to the operation of touching the URL as an example), and opens (displays) the corresponding talk room (step S1607).

FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the terminal 20 for realizing the exchange shown in FIG. Since the flowchart shown in FIG. 17 is common to the flowchart shown in FIG. 13 up to the process of step S1302, the description up to step S1302 will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 17, the communication I / F 22 of the terminal 20 determines whether or not the information including the URL is received from the server 10 (step S1703). When the information including the URL is received from the server 10 (YES in step S1703), the communication I / F 22 transmits the information including the URL to the control unit 21. The message processing unit 211 of the control unit 21 instructs the display processing unit 212 to display information including the received URL. The display processing unit 212 displays the information including the received URL on the display unit 24 (step S1704), and proceeds to the process of step S1705. If the information including the URL is not received from the server 10 (NO in step S1703), the process ends.

When the information including the URL is displayed, the input / output unit 23 of the terminal 20 determines whether or not there is an input from the user for the displayed URL (step S1705). The input from the user here is not limited, but may be, for example, an input for touching the displayed URL or an input for displaying an information linked to the URL. When there is an input from the user for the displayed URL (YES in step S1705), the message processing unit 211 identifies the talk room corresponding to the URL and displays the specified talk room on the display processing unit 212. Instruct. The display processing unit 212 displays the talk room on the display unit 24 (step S1706), and ends the processing. Further, even when there is no input to the URL (NO in step S1705), the process ends.

FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the server 10 for realizing the exchange shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 18, the communication I / F 14 of the server 10 receives a signal including the beacon ID from the terminal 20 (step S1401). The communication I / F 14 transmits the received signal to the control unit 11.

The message processing unit 111 of the control unit 11 extracts the beacon ID from the received signal. Then, the URL corresponding to the extracted beacon ID is specified (step S1802). This can be realized by holding a table in which the beacon ID and the URL are associated with each other, as an example and not a limitation.

The message processing unit 111 transmits the specified URL to the terminal 20 via the communication I / F 14 (step S1803), and ends the process.

FIG. 19 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the display unit of the terminal related to steps S1704 and S1706 of FIG. FIG. 19A is a screen view showing a display example displayed in the display area of the display unit 24 of the terminal 20. FIG. 19A shows an example of displaying URL information in a manner of adding the reward information shown in FIG. 15 to the screen displaying the reward information, but the display of the messages 1501 to 1503 is not essential.

As shown in message 1901 of FIG. 19A, when the terminal 20 receives the URL information from the server 10, the terminal 20 displays a text prompting the user to invite to the talk room related to the current location. At the same time, the URL 1902 of the talk room is displayed. Then, as an example, by performing a touch operation on this URL 1902, the talk room of the link destination is displayed as shown in FIG. 19 (b). At this time, the display mode of each message displayed in the talk room displayed as the link destination is such that the message is transmitted as shown in FIG. 7 (b) of the first embodiment and FIG. 19 (b) of the present embodiment. The message may be displayed in a display mode according to the position, or as shown in FIG. 7A, the message may be displayed without changing the display mode.

In this way, when the terminal 20 receives the beacon signal, it can display the URL for entering the talk room related to the place where the beacon transmitter 40 that transmitted the beacon signal is installed. Note that, in FIGS. 16 to 18, the terminal 20 receives information including a URL from the server 10, but this is not the case. The beacon transmitter 40 may transmit the oscillating beacon signal by including not only the beacon ID but also URL information for inviting to the talk room related to the installation position. Then, the terminal 20 may display the information including the URL included in the beacon signal as shown in FIG. 19A without transmitting the beacon ID included in the received beacon signal to the server 10. ..

<Effect of Embodiment 3>
When the terminal 20 receives a beacon signal from the beacon transmitter 40, the terminal 20 displays information for displaying a talk room related to the place where the beacon transmitter 40 is installed, and a URL as an example, not a limitation. Then, when the user touches the URL, the terminal 20 opens the talk room and displays a message.
As a result, when there is a talk room related to the place visited by the user, the user can recognize the information about the place from the contents of the message exchange of the talk room.

<Embodiment 4>
In the above embodiment, the message is displayed in the talk room in a display mode according to the place where each terminal 20 has sent the message. In particular, the terminal 20 provides information that can determine the reliability of each message by changing the display mode between the message transmitted in the place related to the talk room and the message transmitted in the place not related to the talk room.

By the way, the user of the terminal 20 is not always in the same place, and the credibility of the information may be weakened with the passage of time. For example, as an example, not a limitation, even if a user sends information that a store is crowded, it is not necessarily crowded even one hour later. Therefore, in the fourth embodiment, an example will be described in which the display mode of each message displayed by the terminal 20 is changed according to the movement of the user who transmitted the message and the passage of time.

FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the terminal 20. The flowchart shown in FIG. 20 is an example showing an example in which the display mode of the message is changed with the passage of time. The terminal 20 performs the processing shown in FIG. 20 for all the displayed messages every predetermined time (not limited to every minute as an example), or when the display position in the talk room is changed. Execute.

As shown in FIG. 20, the message processing unit 211 of the terminal 20 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed from the message transmission time for each message displayed in the talk room (step S2001). This depends on whether or not the difference between the transmission time of each message (which may be the reception time when the terminal 20 receives the message from the server 10) and the current time clocked by the terminal 20 is equal to or longer than a predetermined time. Can be determined. If the predetermined time has not passed, the process proceeds to the next message. If the last displayed message is being processed, the processing is terminated.

When the message processing unit 211 determines that a predetermined time has elapsed from the transmission time of the message (YES in step S2001), the message processing unit 211 then changes the display mode of the message from the place where the message is related to the talk room. It is determined whether or not the message is displayed in the first display mode indicating that the message has been transmitted (or the message is associated with the location information) (step S2002). If the message display mode is not the first display mode (NO in step S2002), the process proceeds to the next message processing. If the last displayed message is being processed, the processing is terminated.

When the display mode of the message to be processed is the first display mode (YES in step S2002), the message processing unit 211 changes the display mode of the message from the first display mode to the second display mode. Instruct the display processing unit 212 to change. The display processing unit 212 changes the display mode of the corresponding message from the first display mode to the second display mode and displays it on the display unit 24 according to the instruction from the message processing unit 211 (step S2003).

Then, the message processing unit 211 shifts to the processing of the next message. If the message being processed is the last message displayed, the processing ends.

FIG. 21 is a screen example showing a change in the display when the process shown in FIG. 20 is executed. FIG. 21A shows a state of the talk room displayed at a certain timing (at 13:00). As shown in FIG. 21 (a), the message transmitted at 12:15 is displayed in the second display mode, and the messages transmitted at 12:18 and 12:20 are displayed in the first display mode. It is displayed. It is assumed that one and a half hours have passed from this state as a predetermined time.

FIG. 21 (b) is a diagram showing an example of a screen of a talk room one and a half hours after the state shown in FIG. 21 (a). As can be seen by comparing FIG. 21 (b) and FIG. 21 (a), the display mode of the message is changed as the predetermined time elapses. Here, as the display mode of the message, when the transmission location of the message is displayed, the display of the location name may or may not be deleted.

Next, an example of changing the display mode of the message other than the passage of time will be described. FIG. 22 shows a process of changing the display mode of the message when the terminal that has sent the message moves from the place where the message was sent, and is a sequence diagram showing an example of communication between each device of the communication system 1. Is.

In FIG. 22, the processing up to step S405 is the same as the processing described with reference to FIG. 4, so the description thereof will be omitted.

Each terminal 20 that sends a message transmits the position information of its own terminal at predetermined time intervals. The server 10 detects that a predetermined time has elapsed since the terminal 20b that transmitted the first message cannot receive the first position information (step S2201). Then, the server 10 instructs the

terminals

20a and 20c participating in the talk room to change the display mode of the first message from the first display mode to the second display mode (step S2202). ..

Each of the

terminals

20a and 20c that received this instruction changes the display mode of the first message transmitted from the terminal 20b from the first display mode to the second display mode and displays it (steps S2203 and 2204). ..

FIG. 23 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the exchange of each device when the terminal 20 transmits the position information to the server 10 but moves from the place where the message is transmitted, unlike the exchange shown in FIG. is there. In the sequence diagram shown in FIG. 23, the processing up to step S405 will be omitted in the same manner as in FIG. 22.

As shown in FIG. 23, when the terminal 20b transmits the first message in step S402, the terminal 20b transmits the position information different from the transmitted first position information to the server 10 (step S2301). At this time, the terminal 20b may send a message together with the position information.

When the server 10 receives the location information from the terminal 20b, the server 10 confirms whether or not the location information is the same as the first location information when the message was previously transmitted. Then, when the server 10 detects that the position information received from the terminal 20b is different from the first position information, the server 10 changes the display mode of the first message from the first display mode to the second display mode. Instruct the

terminals

20a and 20c participating in the talk room (step S2302).

Then, the terminal 20a and the terminal 20c that received the instruction change the display mode of the first message from the first display mode to the second display mode, and display the first message (steps S2303, S2304). ..

FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the server 10 for realizing the exchange shown in FIGS. 22 and 23.

As shown in FIG. 24, the server 10 instructs each terminal participating in the talk room to display the message received from the terminal 20 in the first display mode (step S2401). This process corresponds to the process of step S603 of FIG.

The message processing unit 111 of the server 10 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the last location information was received from the terminal of the user participating in the talk room (step S2402). The predetermined time referred to here is a time at which the credibility of the message sent by the user to the talk room may be weakened, and is not limited to one hour as an example, but is not limited to one hour. The message processing unit 111 performs the process of step S2402 for each user participating in the talk room. Here, an example of making a judgment based on the passage of time from the time when the message is sent is shown, but the time during which the credibility of the message may be weakened is within a predetermined period (one day, not limited). It may be performed at predetermined time intervals. That is, it is not limited, but as an example, it may be configured to switch the display mode of the message when the current time reaches a predetermined time. As an example, not limited to, when the closing time of the festival venue is 20:00, the display mode of the talk room may be configured to be switched at the timing after 20:00.

The message processing unit 111 has a terminal for which a predetermined time has passed since the last reception of the position information, and the message transmitted by the terminal is instructed to be displayed in the first display mode. In a certain case (YES in step S2402), for the message, each terminal 20 participating in the talk room is instructed to change the display mode of the message to the second display mode via the communication I / F14. (Step S2403). The message processing unit 111 has a terminal for which a predetermined time has passed since the last reception of the position information, and the message transmitted by the terminal is instructed to be displayed in the first display mode. If not (NO in step S2402), the process proceeds to step S2404.

On the other hand, when the position information of the terminal is received from the terminal of the user participating in the talk room, the communication I / F 14 of the terminal 20 transmits the received position information to the control unit 11. When the message processing unit 111 of the control unit 11 receives the position information from the terminal of the user participating in the talk room, the received position information is the position information received for that purpose from the terminal and the last received position. It is determined whether or not the position information is different from the information (step S2404). If the position information matches (NO in step S2404), the process ends.

When the received position information and the previously received position information and the last received position information are different (YES in step S2404), the message processing unit 111 starts from the user's terminal 20 from the present. Going back to the past, it is determined whether or not a message for the talk room has been received within a predetermined time (step S2405). If not received (NO in step S2405), the process ends.

If a message has been received (YES in step S2405), after confirming that the display mode of the message is indicated by the first display mode, the display mode of the message is set to the second display mode. Instruct all terminals 20 participating in the talk room via the communication I / F 14 to change to the display in (step S2406), and end the process.

FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the terminal 20 for realizing the exchange shown in FIGS. 22 and 23.

As shown in FIG. 25, the communication I / F 22 of the terminal 20 receives the user ID and the instruction for changing the display mode of the message from the server 10 (step S2501). The communication I / F 22 transmits the received instruction to the control unit 21.

The message processing unit 211 receives the instruction received from the server 10 and identifies the message corresponding to the received user ID from the messages displayed on the talk room (step S2502).

Then, the message processing unit 211 instructs the display processing unit 212 to change the display mode of the specified message from the first display mode to the second display mode. In response to this instruction, the display processing unit 212 displays the designated message on the display unit 24 in the second display mode (step S2503), and ends the processing.

The example of the change in the display mode in this case is the same as the display example shown in FIG. 21 as an example.

<Effect of Embodiment 4>
When the server 10 receives a message from the terminal of a user participating in the talk room, the location information associated with the message is the same as the message previously sent by the user to the talk room. Determine if it has location information. When the server 10 determines that the user does not have the same location information, the server 10 transmits an instruction to change the display mode of the message transmitted by the user in the past to the terminal 20.
As a result, each user participating in the talk room can confirm the deterioration of the reliability of the message due to the passage of time of the message sent from each place and the movement from the place where the user sent the message.

<Embodiment 5>
In the above-described modification of the first embodiment, an example in which filtering is performed in a message display mode has been described, but in the fifth embodiment, an example in which filtering is performed at a message transmission location and a message is displayed in a talk room is described. explain.

FIG. 26 is a sequence diagram showing an exchange between the terminal 20 and the server 10 when filtering different from the display mode is performed as the filtering condition.

As shown in FIG. 26, the terminal 20a accepts the designation of the location as a message filtering condition (step S2601). The terminal 20a transmits information about the location as the received filtering condition to the server 10 (step S2602).

When the server 10 receives the condition regarding the location as the filtering condition, the server 10 identifies the message sent from the designated location (step S2603). The server 10 transmits information about the specified message to the terminal (step S2604).

The terminal 20a displays only the received message (step S2605).

FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the terminal 20 for realizing the exchange shown in FIG. 26.

As shown in FIG. 27, the input / output unit 23 of the terminal 20 accepts an input of a filtering condition for displaying only a message having an attribute specified by the user (step S2701). The input / output unit 23 transmits the received filtering conditions to the control unit 21.

The message processing unit 211 of the control unit 21 transmits the received filtering condition to the server 10 via the communication I / F 22 (step S2702). In response to this, the server 10 transmits a message or information about the message according to the filtering conditions. The message or information about the message is the message itself that was sent to the talk room in the past, or information that can identify the message.

The communication I / F 22 of the terminal 20 receives a message from the server 10 or information about the message (step S2703). The terminal I / F 22 transmits the received message or information about the message to the control unit 22.

The message processing unit 211 instructs the display processing unit 212 to display only the specified message from the received information. The display processing unit 212 displays a talk room containing only the designated message on the display unit 24 (step S2704), and ends the processing.

FIG. 28 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the server 10 for realizing the exchange shown in FIG. 26.

As shown in FIG. 28, the communication I / F 22 of the server 10 receives information about the location as a filtering condition from the terminal 20 (step S2801). The communication I / F 22 transmits the received information regarding the location as the filtering condition to the control unit 11.

The message processing unit 111 of the control unit 11 specifies the place where the message is transmitted with respect to the message transmitted to the talk room in which the received filtering condition is set. Then, the message processing unit 111 identifies a message that matches the location as the filtering condition (step S2802).

The message processing unit 111 transmits a message related to the specified filtering condition or information related to the message to the terminal 20 via the communication I / F 14 (step S2803), and ends the process.

Note that FIGS. 26 to 28 show a mode in which the terminal 20a inquires the server 10 of a message suitable for the filtering condition, but this is not the case. When the message transmitted from the terminal 20 to the talk room by the server 10 is transmitted to the other terminals 20 participating in the talk room, if the information regarding the transmission location of the message is also transmitted, the terminal 20a is sent to the server 10. It is also possible to filter each message and display the filtered talk room without inquiring.

<Effect of Embodiment 5>
The terminal 20 can filter the displayed message when displaying the message in the talk room. As an example, when the user wants to confirm a message about a specific place, he / she inputs the place to the terminal 20 as a filtering condition. The terminal 20 displays only the message sent from the input location. The filtering of which message is to be displayed may be executed by either the server 10 or the terminal 20.
As a result, the user can check only the messages according to the filtered conditions. For example, as a filtering condition, if the input of a specific place is accepted, the message sent from that specific place will be displayed, so check only the highly credible message of the place specified by the user. can do.

<Embodiment 6>
In the sixth embodiment, a display mode of the talk room in which the number of users and the number of messages are easily recognized from what kind of place the users participating in the talk room are transmitting the message will be described. That is, in the talk room, a mode is shown in which information to be drafted is displayed in the number of people who sent messages from a certain place or the total number of messages sent from that place.

FIG. 29 is a sequence diagram showing the exchange of each device for displaying the number of messages related to the location. Knowing the number of messages about a location can give you an idea of how many users are interested in that location.

As shown in FIG. 29, the terminal 20b accepts the input of the first message from the user (step S401).

The terminal 20b transmits the received first message and the first position information indicating the position of the terminal 20b to the server 10 (step S402).

The server 10 confirms whether the received first position information is within the predetermined area, that is, whether it is a place related to the talk room, and counts the number of messages transmitted from the area (step). S2903). Then, the server 10 transmits the received message and the instruction to be displayed in the first display mode as the display mode of the message to the terminal 20 of each message participating in the talk room together with the coefficiented number of messages. (Step S2904).

When the terminal 20 receives the message and the display mode instruction from the server 10 and the information on the number of messages transmitted from the location of the terminal 20b that sent the message, the terminal 20 sends the message to the talk room in the instructed display mode. indicate. Further, the terminal 20 is a message in the talk room, and displays information on the number of messages transmitted from each place where the message is transmitted (step S2905).

FIG. 30 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the server 10 for realizing the exchange shown in FIG. 29.

As shown in FIG. 30, the communication I / F14 of the server 10 receives the user ID and the location information together with the message from the terminal 20 (step S601). The communication I / F 14 transmits each received information to the control unit 11.

The message processing unit 111 of the control unit 11 determines whether or not the position information of the received message is transmitted from the position related to the talk room (step S602).

When the received message is transmitted from the position related to the talk room (YES in step S602), the message processing unit 111 counts the total number of messages transmitted from that position in the talk room (step). S3003). Then, the message processing unit 111 transmits the display instruction for displaying the received message in the first display mode, the received message, the user ID, and the counted number of messages via the communication I / F14. It is transmitted to each terminal 20 participating in the talk room (step S3005), and the process ends.

On the other hand, when the received message is not transmitted from the position related to the talk room (NO in step S602), the display instruction in the second display mode, the received message, and the user ID are displayed. , It is transmitted to each terminal 20 participating in the talk room via the communication I / F14 (step S3004), and the process is terminated. At this time, the message processing unit 111 may be configured to count the total number of messages instructed to be displayed in the second display mode and transmit them together.

FIG. 31 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the terminal 20 for realizing the exchange shown in FIG. 29.

As shown in FIG. 31, the communication I / F 22 of the terminal 20 receives information on the user ID, the message, the instruction of the display mode of the message, and the number of messages from the server 10 (step S3101). The communication I / F 22 transmits each received information to the control unit 11.

The message processing unit 211 of the control unit 11 instructs the display processing unit 212 to display the received message in the instructed display mode. In addition, the message processing unit 211 instructs the display processing unit 212 to also display the number of messages transmitted from the location related to the talk room, which indicates the number of messages existing in the talk room. The display processing unit 212 displays the instructed message on the display unit 24 in the instructed display mode. Further, the display processing unit 212 displays information indicating the number of messages on the display unit 24 for each place where the message is transmitted, as an example, not the attribute of the message in the talk room (step S3102). End the process. The attribute of the message is not limited to the place where the message is sent, and may be other attributes.

FIG. 32 is a screen view of a terminal showing an example of displaying the number of messages for each place where a message is sent. As shown in FIG. 32, each message transmitted to the talk room is displayed in the instructed display mode. Further, as shown in FIG. 32, in the display area of the display unit 24 of the terminal 20, information on the transmission location of the message as a message attribute and the number of messages 3201 transmitted at the transmission location are displayed. .. In the example of FIG. 32, 11, 36, and 18 are associated with the total number of messages transmitted from the A store, the B store, and the C store in the AA festival venue, respectively. Although FIG. 32 shows an example showing the number of messages, this may be information indicating the number of different users who have sent messages from each location instead of the number of messages.

<Effect of Embodiment 6>
Regarding the message sent to the talk room, the terminal 20 displays the total number of messages sent from the place for each place where the message is sent.
According to this configuration, the user of the terminal 20 can understand which topic is popular in the talk room. Further, according to this configuration, the user can use it as an index of how popular each place is, and conversely, can confirm which place is busy.
Therefore, as an example, not a limitation, the talk room is information about an amusement park such as an amusement park, and the number of displayed messages is displayed in association with a store or an attraction in the amusement park as an example, not a limitation. By doing so, you can see which attractions and stores are popular, and conversely, if the number of messages is small, you can recognize which stores and attractions you can enter immediately.
