<< 3. Operation processing >>
Next, the operation processing of the information processing system according to the present embodiment will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

<3-1. Overall flow>
FIG. 4 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the overall flow of the information processing system according to the present embodiment. After explaining the entire flow using the sequence diagram shown in FIG. 4, each process will be specifically described.

As shown in FIG. 4, first, the user terminal 10A accesses the server 20 and creates a group (steps S103 and S106). In group creation, the group name, the purpose of group creation, the participation conditions, and the like are set by the operation of the user terminal 10A by the user, and the group setting information is stored in the storage unit 230 together with the assigned group ID by the server 20. Will be done. Participation conditions are, for example, payment of participation fee to the group, wallet balance (for example, balance of personal account of user who can make electronic payment), confirmation by questionnaire (answer to question), personal profile (nationality, age, etc.), Voting (requires approval by a majority of the group), enrollment status (students, graduates, company employees, etc. of a given school), qualifications (teachers, doctors, etc., having a given qualification), whereabouts (current address) , Current location, etc.), Ownership status (whether or not you have a private car, own / rent, whether or not you have a pet, etc.), subscription status (whether you have the prescribed membership, have the prescribed insurance, or register as a user of the prescribed service (Whether you are doing it, etc.), behavior history (predetermined work location and commuting route, whether you are acting at home, accompanying / living with a predetermined person, etc.), various scores (credit score, sports record, academic ability, etc.), etc. Can be mentioned. Anyone may be able to create a group. After creating a group, the creator does not need to manage the group and can use it as a participant of the group. A specific example of the group creation process will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 6.

Next, the user terminal 10B makes a request to join the group to the server 20 (step S109). The server 20 confirms whether or not the user satisfies the participation condition of the group requested by the user (step S112), and determines whether or not the group can participate (whether or not the user satisfies the participation condition) (step S115). .. Since the system (server 20) determines whether or not to participate in the group, it is necessary for the group creator to manually collect information to create a list and collect the participation fee as in the past. There is no. Further, since the server 20 determines whether or not the participation condition is satisfied, each user can join the group without disclosing his / her personal information to the creator or other members. The participation condition can be determined, for example, by the server 20 requesting predetermined information from the user terminal 10B.

For example, when the participation condition is a questionnaire, the server 20 sends a questionnaire (question) to the user terminal 10A, and if the user's answer satisfies the condition, it is determined that the participation condition is satisfied. For example, if the participation condition is "there is no overseas travel history within the past 3 years", the server 20 asks a question such as "have you traveled overseas within the past 3 years?". When the participation condition is a personal profile (nationality, age, etc.), the server 20 accesses the user terminal 10A, reads out the personal profile information registered by the user in the SNS (social network service), and reads the nationality and age. Etc. may be inquired. The user can save the trouble of inputting the user information again in the request for joining the group.

If the participation condition is payment of the participation fee or balance, the server 20 accesses the user terminal 10A, acquires the ID of the wallet (user's account in the electronic payment system) registered by the user, and obtains the specified amount. Make sure you have the above balance, or deduct the participation fee and deposit it into the group's common wallet. The wallet referred to here may be, for example, a wallet selected by the user from various electronic payment systems supported by this system.

If the participation condition is to obtain a predetermined number of approvals by voting, the server 20 sends a notification to the participants (members) of the group and solicits votes. In addition, if the participation conditions are the prescribed enrollment status and possession of qualifications, the server 20 can use various electronic certificates (enrollment certificate, graduation certificate, employee ID, driver's license, teacher's license, doctor's license) from the user terminal 10A. Etc.) and inquire about enrollment and qualifications. Further, the server 20 may access a predetermined database and inquire about the enrollment status and the possession status of the qualification.

If the participation condition is the whereabouts, the server 20 acquires the latest action history and the information of the current location from the user terminal 10A, and confirms the current whereabouts. For example, the server 20 may inquire the user's current location in cooperation with the map service. Further, when the participation condition is the ownership status, the server 20 may access the user terminal 10A and check the owner registration database or the like registered by the user. Specifically, the server 20 may inquire about the ownership status of the user in cooperation with a database such as vehicle registration, real estate registration, and pet registration. Further, when the participation condition is the subscription status, the server 20 may check the predetermined subscriber information database. Specifically, the server 20 may inquire about the subscription status of the user in cooperation with a database such as membership, insurance, and user registration.

If the participation condition is an action history, the server 20 acquires the action history from the user terminal 10A and determines whether or not the condition is satisfied. For example, the server 20 recognizes the place of work or home, the place where people often stop by, or the area where they pass from the daily activities of the user, and determines whether or not these conditions are satisfied. In addition, the server 20 can recognize the cohabitation or the accompaniment by comparing the behavior histories of a plurality of users.

If the participation condition is various scores, the server 20 cooperates with the service system that provides various scores, and confirms whether or not the user has a score exceeding the specified value. Specifically, the server 20 acquires information such as a credit score that quantifies the user's social credit, an official record of sports, a transcript, and a qualification test result from a predetermined service system and sets conditions. Determine if it meets or not.

As described above, in determining the participation conditions, the server 20 may access the user terminal 10A, an external service system, a database, etc., acquire user information, and automatically determine the participation conditions. can. That is, the server 20 can acquire predetermined information by using the user ID provided by each service (which can be acquired from the user terminal 10A). On the other hand, the user does not need to input various information again in the request for joining the group, which saves time and effort.

The server 20 ends the procedure for joining the user to the group by storing the user ID of the user who satisfies the participation condition in the storage unit 230 in association with the group ID. Various personal information used to determine the participation conditions is not stored, and the system only knows that the user meets the participation conditions, so unnecessary personal information is transmitted to other members of the group and third parties such as contractors. There is no risk of disclosure. A specific example of the group participation process will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 9.

Subsequently, when there is a request for group information from the requester terminal 50 used by various service providers such as a business operator who makes a contract with the group (step S118), the server 20 groups the requester terminal 50. Present a group certificate certifying that the participants of the above meet the predetermined participation conditions (step S121). Specifically, the server 20 sends the display data of the group certificate to the requester terminal 50, and sends the URL for accessing the data of the group certificate to the requester terminal 50. Other presentation examples of the group certificate will be described later with reference to FIG.

Further, the server 20 can withdraw money from the group's common wallet by a predetermined withdrawal method. Withdrawals from the shared wallet are assumed, for example, when the group makes a group contract and pays to the contractor. The withdrawal method can be preset at the time of group formation. Specific examples of withdrawal processing from the group's common wallet will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12.

Then, when there is a withdrawal request from the user terminal 10B (step S124), the server 20 performs the withdrawal process (step S127). The server 20 deletes the user ID of the user who withdraws from the storage unit 230, and if the refund at the time of withdrawal is stipulated again, the server 20 performs a process of refunding from the group's common wallet to the user's wallet. A specific example of the group withdrawal process will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14.

The overall flow of the information processing system according to this embodiment has been explained above. The operation process shown in FIG. 4 is an example, and the present embodiment is not limited to the example shown in FIG.

Specific examples of each of the above-mentioned processes will be described below.

<3-2. Specific example of group creation process>
FIG. 5 is a sequence diagram showing a specific example of the group creation process according to the present embodiment. In the information processing system according to the present embodiment, when logging in to the system for creating a group, the user may log in using an external authentication service. This saves the trouble of having the user register the user when using the system, and also eliminates the need for the user management function unique to the system.

Specifically, first, when the user (creator) who creates the group operates the user terminal 10A and logs in to the predetermined external authentication service system 70 (step S133), it is issued by the external authentication service system 70. The token is transmitted to the user terminal 10A (step S136), and the user terminal 10A transmits the received token to the server 20 (step S139).

Next, when the token received by the server 20 is transmitted to the external authentication service system 70 (step S142), authentication is performed by the external authentication service system 70, and the user ID and related users managed by the external authentication service system 70 are used. Information is transmitted (step S145). As described above, in the present embodiment, when the user logs in through the authentication service managed separately from the system, it is possible to save the user from having to register the user in advance for the system. Although token authentication is used here as an example, the present embodiment is not limited to this.

Next, the information necessary for creating the group 22 is input from the user terminal 10A (step S148). Here, FIG. 6 shows an example of a screen display when creating a group. Each screen is generated by the server 20 and can be displayed on the display unit 150 of the user terminal 10A. The screen 700 shown on the left of FIG. 6 is an example of a login screen. The user can select which ID to use for login (external authentication service can be used). The screen 702 shown in the center of FIG. 6 is an example of a group list screen. The screen 702 may be a screen displayed after login, or may be a screen displayed when selected from a menu screen (not shown) displayed after login. On the screen 702, a list display of the groups to which the user is currently a member (participating), a search button 7021 for searching another group, and a new button 7022 for creating a new group are displayed. , Is displayed. When the new button 7022 is selected, the screen 704 shown on the right side of FIG. 6 is displayed. The screen 702 is an example of a group creation screen. On the screen 702, for example, an input field for the group name, an input field for the purpose of use of the group, a setting field for participation conditions, a selection field for sharing information to be shared, a setting field for shared information, a setting field for shared wallet, and withdrawal. The method setting field is displayed.

Anyone can create a new group. The user (creator) can arbitrarily set the conditions necessary for joining the group by setting the "participation conditions". In addition, the user can set the range to which the existence of the group is disclosed by selecting the "sharing destination". The group certificate can be obtained only by the person set as the "shared destination". The user can specify the information of the group member to be published to the sharing destination by setting the "shared information". In addition, the information set in "shared information" can be disclosed in the group certificate. In addition, the user can create a wallet to be shared by the members of the group by setting the "shared wallet". In the setting field for the shared wallet, you can set the participation fee to be collected when joining the group. In addition, payment of the participation fee may be a condition for participation. Also, in the setting field for the shared wallet, you can set whether or not to refund when you withdraw from the group. Although omitted in FIG. 6, the method of calculating the refund amount can be arbitrarily set. In addition, the user can set the authority to withdraw from the shared wallet. The withdrawal method may be, for example, a designated user (identification of the user ID) or a person having a predetermined certificate (owner of the private key corresponding to the public key. The key information is stored in the user terminal 10. It may be authenticated using an IC card), it may be a person who has entered a predetermined key, or it may be voted (approved by a group member at the time of withdrawal at a specified ratio or more). It may be a person). In addition, regular payments such as monthly payments may be set. In the screen 704 of FIG. 6, the user who is the group creator is set as the withdrawal authority.

The server 20 stores the content input from the screen 704 as group setting information in the storage unit 230 in association with the arbitrarily assigned group ID.

When the shared wallet is set, the server 20 requests the predetermined wallet service system 30 (an example of the electronic payment system) to create the shared wallet (step S151). The destination for creating the shared wallet may be set again or may be specified by the group creator. The wallet service system 30 may be an external electronic payment system. The server 20 stores the ID (shared wallet ID) of the shared wallet 32 created by the wallet service system 30 in the storage unit 230 in association with the group ID (the shared wallet ID can also be said to be one of the group setting information). ..

The specific example of group creation has been explained above.

<3-3. Specific example of group participation processing>
FIG. 7 is a sequence diagram showing a specific example of the group participation process according to the present embodiment. Each user can search for the created group and apply for participation. When you apply for participation, it is automatically verified whether you meet the participation conditions, and if you meet all the items, you can join the group.

Specifically, first, a user (participant) who wants to join a group operates the user terminal 10B to log in to this system (the login process is the same as the example shown in FIG. 5), and then from the group list screen. Search for a group (step S203). In the group search, the search may be performed by the keyword included in the group name. In addition, the recently created groups may be displayed in order. For example, a group name may be listed on the group search result screen, and when the group name is selected, information such as the purpose of use, participation conditions, and participation fee of the group may be displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 7, it is assumed that the group 22 is searched and the application for participation is made.

Next, the user terminal 10B transmits a participation request to the group 22 (step S206). Next, the participation condition determination unit 226 confirms the participation conditions (step S209), and acquires information certifying the participation conditions such as an electronic certificate and location information from the user terminal 10B as necessary (step S212). .. Further, the participation condition determination unit 226 inquires of the certificate authority 40 about the verification of the signature included in the digital certificate, if necessary (step S215).

Further, when the participation condition includes "voting", the participation condition determination unit 226 notifies other members participating in the group 22 of a voting request or the like (step S218).

In addition, when the participation fee is required at the time of admission (when the participation condition includes the "participation fee"), the participation condition determination unit 226 pays the participation fee to the common wallet 32 of the wallet service system 30 by the user terminal 10B. It is confirmed whether or not the payment (step S221) has been made (step S224). Payment of the participation fee to the common wallet 32 may be performed using an electronic payment system. For example, when the user (participant) also has a personal wallet in the wallet service system 30, he / she also performs an operation of withdrawing the participation fee from the personal wallet to the common wallet 32. If the balance is insufficient in the personal wallet, the user may make a payment in the personal wallet and then pay the shared wallet 32.

Then, when the user satisfies all the participation conditions, the participation condition determination unit 226 associates the user ID of the user with the group ID and stores it in the storage unit 230, and notifies the user terminal 10B of the participation completion. (Step S227).

Here, FIG. 8 shows an example of group data stored in the storage unit 230. As shown in FIG. 8, in the storage unit 230, for example, group creation data (group ID, group name, purpose, creator ID, etc.), group detailed data (group ID, participation conditions, sharing destination, shared information, shared wallet, etc.) ID, withdrawal method, etc.), group participation user data (group ID, and each user ID participating in the group), and participation user detailed data (user ID, user name, wallet ID, etc.) are stored. The content of each data is an example, and the present embodiment is not limited to this. Further, the "wallet ID" of the participating user detailed data is the ID of the user's personal wallet. If a refund is made at the time of withdrawal, the ID of the user's personal wallet can be acquired again and registered as the participating user detailed data. Further, the "user name" may be a nickname or the like arbitrarily set by the user at the time of participation. In addition, the "user name" may not be registered (for example, when displaying the group member list, it may be displayed as anonymous).

Next, an example of a screen when joining a group will be explained. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of screen display when participating in a group. The screen 706 shown on the left side of FIG. 9 may be displayed, for example, when a user (participant) selects a searched group. Group information is displayed on the screen 706, and the user selects the participation button 7061 when applying for participation in the group after confirming the participation conditions and the like. The screen 706 may display incentives received when joining a group. Next, the screen 708 shown in the center of FIG. 9 is displayed. On the screen 708, the confirmation result of the participation condition automatically performed by the server 20 is displayed. When the participation fee is required, the user allows payment of the participation fee (withdrawal by the server 20) by selecting an arbitrary electronic payment system or the like. If the account specified by the user (an account of any electronic payment system) has insufficient balance, it may be clearly indicated that the balance is insufficient. The user can separately deposit money into the account in any electronic payment system. Then, when all the participation conditions are satisfied, the screen 710 shown on the right side of FIG. 9 is displayed, and it is possible to participate in the group. When joining a group, the user selects the OK button 7101.

The specific example of group participation processing has been explained above. The screen example shown in FIG. 9 is an example, and the present embodiment is not limited to this.

<3-4. Group certificate presentation example>
Users of this system can confirm with the group certificate that all the participants in the group meet the participation conditions. The group certificate can be obtained only by the user set as the sharing destination when the group is created. For example, when the sharing destination is set to "a person who knows the URL", a person who accesses from a predetermined URL can view and obtain the group certificate (download the group certificate data). For example, the server 20 may transmit the URL of the group certificate to the requester terminal 50 in response to a request from the requester terminal 50 used by a service provider who makes a group contract with the group.

In the group certificate, for example, the ID of the group member (or the user name arbitrarily set for the user, etc.) and the number of people, and the items specified as shared information (participation conditions, etc.) at the time of group creation are displayed. Since it is proved that all the members of the group meet the participation conditions and the personal information of each member is not disclosed, unnecessary personal information will not be disclosed to a third party. For example, in the case of the participation condition of "20 years old or older", the date of birth of each member is not disclosed, and only it is proved that each member is 20 years old or older.

Further, a user who visits a store of a service provider who makes a group contract with the group may display the group certificate on the user terminal 10 of the user and show it to the store clerk. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of presenting a group certificate. In the example shown in FIG. 10, a user A (group creator) (user ID: AAAA) who visits a store of a business operator (for example, a travel agency) that provides a service for a group uses his / her own user terminal 10A. , The screen 712 on which the group certificate is displayed may be presented to the staff of the store. A QR code (registered trademark) may be displayed on the screen 712, and the staff can read the QR code with a barcode reader so that the store can electronically read the data of the group certificate (for example, XML). Data format) can be obtained. Here, a QR code is used as an example, but the present embodiment is not limited to this, and a one-dimensional barcode may be used or a URL may be used.

In addition, when user A makes a trip for a group or applies for travel insurance from the travel agency's homepage, he / she inputs the URL of the group certificate in the predetermined input field, and the travel agency side inputs the data of the group certificate. May be made available.

The example of presenting the group certificate has been explained above.

<3-5. Specific example of group withdrawal processing>
FIG. 11 is a sequence diagram showing a specific example of group withdrawal processing according to the present embodiment. Withdrawals from the group's shared wallet are made by the set withdrawal method (designated user (identification of user ID), certificate, withdrawal authority confirmed by password, etc.).

Specifically, first, a user having withdrawal authority logs in to this system from the user terminal 10A and sends a withdrawal request to the server 20 (step S303). Here, as an example, it is assumed that the creator registers the group creator (self) as the designated user as "withdrawal method: designated user" at the time of group creation.

Next, the deposit / withdrawal management unit 224 of the server 20 confirms whether or not the person has the withdrawal authority (here, the confirmation of the user ID), and if the person has the withdrawal authority, the withdrawal is permitted. (Step S306).

Next, the user terminal 10A specifies the amount to be withdrawn from the group's common wallet according to the user operation (step S309).

Next, the deposit / withdrawal management unit 224 requests the wallet service system 30 to withdraw money from the common wallet 32 of the group 22 to the personal wallet 34 of the user A (step S312), and withdraws by the wallet service system 30. Gold processing is performed (step S315). Here, as an example, for example, when user A pays a group travel fee or group insurance premium, the required amount is first deposited from the group's common wallet into user A's personal wallet, and the user uses the personal wallet. It is expected to pay to contractors such as travel agencies. Further, the user A may make a withdrawal request to make a payment (electronic payment) directly from the group's common wallet 32 to a contractor such as a travel agency.

Here, an example of a screen when making a withdrawal from a group will be explained. FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of screen display at the time of group withdrawal. The screen 714 shown on the left side of FIG. 12 is an example of a withdrawal screen displayed on the display unit 150 of the user terminal 10A. On the screen 714, the balance of the group's common wallet and the set withdrawal method are displayed. The user inputs the withdrawal amount and the withdrawal reason on the screen 714, and selects the withdrawal button 7121. Depending on the selection of the withdrawal button 7121, the server 20 requests the wallet service system 30 to withdraw the specified withdrawal amount. When the withdrawal from the group's common wallet is completed in the wallet service system 30, the display unit 150 of the user terminal 10A displays a screen 716 displaying the withdrawal result as shown on the right side of FIG.

The specific example of group withdrawal processing has been explained above. The operation process shown in FIG. 11 and the screen example shown in FIG. 12 are not limited to this. For example, if the withdrawal amount is specified in the withdrawal request (step S103) shown in FIG. 11 and the withdrawal authority is confirmed by the deposit / withdrawal management unit 224, the withdrawal request is sent to the wallet service system 30 as it is. It may be done (step S312). Further, on the screen 714, a third party may be set as a payee such as a predetermined contractor.

<3-6. Specific example of group withdrawal processing>
FIG. 13 is a sequence diagram showing a specific example of the group withdrawal process according to the present embodiment. Group members can withdraw from the group at any time. If it is found that the participation conditions are not satisfied, the server 20 automatically performs the withdrawal process. For example, when the participation condition is "resident in Japan", the location information and action history acquired from the user terminal 10 when the user terminal 10 logs in to the system at any time after joining the group can be used. If it is found that the user does not reside in the country, the server 20 deletes the user ID of the user and leaves the group. If "Refund is available when the group is withdrawn" is set when the group is created, the refund amount is calculated by the method set again, and the withdrawal is made from the group's common wallet to the personal wallet of the user who withdraws.

Specifically, first, a user (here, for example, user ID: user D of DDDD) operates the user terminal 10D to log in to the server 20 and sends a withdrawal request (step S403). Next, the server 20 confirms the balance of the common wallet 32 of the group 22 when the setting for refunding according to the balance is changed at the time of withdrawal (step S406). The refund amount may be, for example, "current balance x (amount deposited by the user / total deposit amount)". That is, the refund amount may be calculated by multiplying the balance by the ratio of the amount deposited by the user to the total deposit amount.

Next, the server 20 presents the calculated refund amount to the user terminal 10D (step S409), and when approval is obtained from the user terminal 10D (step S412), the user ID: DDDD is deleted as a withdrawal process. Further, the server 20 requests the wallet service system 30 to withdraw the refund amount from the shared wallet 32 to the personal wallet 36 of the user D who withdraws this time (step S415).

Then, in the wallet service system 30, a refund is made from the shared wallet 32 of the group 22 to the personal wallet of the user D (step S418), and the withdrawal process is completed.

Here, an example of a screen when withdrawing from a group will be explained. FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of a screen display when the group withdraws from the membership. The screen 718 shown on the left side of FIG. 14 is an example of a withdrawal screen displayed on the display unit 150 of the user terminal 10. On the screen 718, for example, the balance of the group's common wallet and the refund amount are displayed. After confirming the contents, the user selects the withdrawal button 7141 to apply for withdrawal. When the withdrawal is completed, the display unit 150 of the user terminal 10A displays a screen 720 notifying the completion of withdrawal as shown on the right side of FIG. The withdrawal destination "DDDD" is the user ID of the user who has withdrawn this time.

The specific example of group withdrawal processing has been explained above. The operation process shown in FIG. 13 and the screen example shown in FIG. 14 are not limited to this. For example, steps S406 to S418 shown in FIG. 13 can be performed only when there is a refund at the time of withdrawal. Further, the refund process is not limited to the process in the wallet service system 30, and the wallet service system 30 may perform a refund in cooperation with another electronic payment system registered by the user D, for example.
