As shown in FIG. 3, two application programs are pre-installed on the terminal 50. User A touches the touch panel 52 to start the first application program 100. Here, the first application program 100 will be described as software for searching a restaurant as an example.

As shown in FIG. 3, the user A searches for a restaurant using the first application program 100. As a result, it is assumed that restaurant Z and restaurant Y are searched. When the user A selects the restaurant Z, detailed information on the restaurant Z is displayed on the terminal 50 as shown in FIG. More specifically, when the user A selects the restaurant Z, the terminal 50 requests the POI data of the restaurant Z from the second server 20 according to the instruction of the user A. The terminal 50 acquires the POI data of the restaurant Z from the second server 20, and displays the detailed information of the restaurant Z.

An example of POI data of Restaurant Z will be explained. As shown in FIG. 3, the POI data of the restaurant Z includes an image of the store (reference numeral 70), the name of the store (reference numeral 71), the recommendation level of the store and the number of comments (reference numeral 72), and the telephone number of the store. (Code 73), the store address (reference 74), and the store genre (reference 75) are included.

Here, consider that user A shares restaurant Z (POI) with user B. Sharing restaurant Z means sharing POI data of restaurant Z. User A who wants to share the restaurant Z touches the reference numeral 76 shown in FIG. The icon represented by reference numeral 76 is an icon used when sharing POI data.

When the icon indicated by reference numeral 76 is touched, the second application program 200 is started as shown in FIG. When the second application program 200 is started with the POI data specified in this way, the data shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on the terminal 50.

Is. The predetermined input item data for accepting evaluation data related to POI is a star mark if it is a recommendation level, a selection form if it is a shared destination list, a tag if it is an impression and genre, and an input form if it is a comment. .. Predetermined input item data for accepting evaluation data regarding POI is prepared in advance as a template.

In this way, the second application program 200 displays the input item data and accepts the evaluation data regarding the POI by the user A. Further, as described above, in the second application program 200, POI data is also displayed in addition to the input item data. In FIG. 4, the name of the store (reference numeral 71) is displayed as an example of the POI data. Although omitted due to space limitations, the store's phone number and store's address can also be displayed.

When the icon indicated by reference numeral 78 is touched, the sharing destination users are displayed in a list as shown in FIG. Since the user A wants to share the POI data with the user B, the user A selects the user B. Then, when the user A touches the icon indicated by the reference numeral 81, the operation by the user A ends. The data processing when the icon represented by the reference numeral 81 is touched will be described. When the icon indicated by reference numeral 81 is touched, the POI data of the restaurant Z and the evaluation data relating to the POI are transmitted from the terminal 50 to the first server 10 and stored in the database 14. The address book may be referred to for displaying the user list. Further, the sharing destination user may be specified by inputting an e-mail address.

Next, the data processing on the user B side will be described with reference to FIG. As described above, the user B is the side receiving the sharing of the POI data.

As shown in FIG. 5, the first application program 100 and the second application program 200 are installed in the terminal 60 as well as the terminal 50. The first application program 100 and the second application program 200 are recorded in, for example, the non-volatile memory in the terminal 60 and the terminal 50. However, the first application program 100 does not need to be installed in the terminal 60. As shown in FIG. 5, the user B starts the second application program 200. As shown in FIG. 5, in the second application program 200, information indicating that the POI data has been shared by the user A is displayed. When the user B touches "view the list of the user A", the POI data of the restaurant Z shared by the user A is displayed. At this time, the evaluation data by the user A is also displayed. Specifically, as POI data, the terminal 60 displays a store image diagram (reference numeral 70), a store name (reference numeral 71), and a store map (reference numeral 83). Although omitted due to space limitations, the store's phone number and store's address can also be displayed.

Further, as evaluation data by the user A, the terminal 60 has a recommendation level by the user A (reference numeral 77), an impression of the user A on the restaurant Z (reference numeral 79), and a comment on the restaurant Z of the user A (reference numeral 79). 80) is displayed. As other data, the terminal 60 may display to the effect that the restaurant Z has been shared by the user A (reference numeral 82).

Next, an operation example of the information processing system will be described with reference to the sequence charts of FIGS. 6 to 7.

In step S101, the user A touches the touch panel 52 to start the first application program 100. In step S103, the user A determines the POI data to be shared. As shown in FIG. 3, the selection of the restaurant Z by the user A corresponds to the determination of the POI data. The terminal 50 requests the POI data of the restaurant Z from the second server 20 according to the instruction of the user A. In step S105, the second server 20 refers to the POI database 24 and searches for POI data regarding the restaurant Z. Then, the second server 20 transmits the POI data regarding the restaurant Z to the terminal 50.

In step S107, the terminal 50 acquires the POI data of the restaurant Z from the second server 20. In step S109, the user A starts the second application program 200 from the first application program 100 in order to share the restaurant Z with the user B. This activation is realized by the user A touching the reference numeral 76 shown in FIG. When the user A activates the second application program 200, the POI data of the restaurant Z is inherited from the first application program 100 to the second application program 200. This is realized because the second application program 200 is started in the state where the POI data of the restaurant Z is specified. The state in which the POI data of the restaurant Z is specified means a state in which the POI data of the restaurant Z is displayed on the terminal 50 as shown in FIG.

In steps S111 and S113, the input item data for receiving the evaluation data related to POI and the POI data are displayed on the terminal 50 (see FIG. 4). User A inputs a recommendation level, impression, comment, etc. for restaurant Z. Further, the user A selects a user (here, the user B) who wants to share the restaurant Z. The data input by these users A and the data selected are called user data. After the input of the user A is completed, the POI data and the user data of the restaurant Z are transmitted from the terminal 50 to the first server 10 (step S115).

In step S117, the POI data and user data of the restaurant Z are stored in the database 14.

In step S119, the user B starts the second application program 200. At this time, a signal indicating that the second application program 200 has been started is transmitted from the terminal 60 to the first server 10. Upon receiving this signal, the first server 10 authenticates the user B (step S121). Login with a well-known ID and password may be used for this authentication. The first server 10 allows the user B to view the shared data by the user A (step S123). As a result, the user B can see the POI data of the restaurant Z shared by the user A (step S125).

The process of step S125 is realized by the user B touching "view the list of user A". Here, when the user B touches "view the list of the user A", a signal for acquiring the map data is transmitted from the terminal 60 to the first server 10. Upon receiving this signal, the first server 10 requests the map data of the restaurant Z from the third server 30 (step S127). The third server 30 refers to the map database 34 and searches for the map data of the restaurant Z (step S129). Then, the third server 30 transmits the map data of the restaurant Z to the first server 10. The first server 10 transmits the received map data to the terminal 60 (step S131). As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, the terminal 60 displays the map of the store as POI data.
