Description

  The present invention relates to an application reception system, an application reception program, a terminal device that executes the application reception program, and an operation program for the terminal device.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a technique for easily objectively viewing the purchase status of a product or the usage status of a service when purchasing a product or using a service is known. This is because the background to the use of such a technique is that it is extremely important for the user to accurately grasp the current situation regarding the purchase of goods and the use of services from the viewpoint of ensuring efficiency. For example, when purchasing a product, it is more efficient to use the time corresponding to the time in the queue if you choose a time zone where the cashier is relatively free rather than the time zone where the cashier is crowded and the queue is available be able to. In addition, when going to amusement facilities such as amusement parks with many attractions, it is possible to enjoy the use of each attraction efficiently within a limited time if you know the waiting time for each attraction in advance. Can plan for

  In order to enjoy the above effects, various techniques have been disclosed so far. In Patent Document 1 below, a user who forms a queue at a use site to wait for service use is photographed, and an alternative image obtained by performing image processing such as iconization on the photographed image is placed at a place other than the use site. Disclosed is a technology related to a system in which another user can monitor a congestion situation such as a queue by distributing to other users.

JP 2007-265290 A

  However, in the prior art including the technology described in Patent Document 1, the matrix display can only be used as a tool for improving the waiting time efficiency. In other words, the matrix display can only be used with a negative image that “the waiting time becomes long”. For stores / facility where there is a general queue, in addition to this negative image, for example, the store / facility is popular with many users. Sometimes it has a positive image of fulfilling its role. In other words, when you look at the queue in front of you, people line it up, and the queue becomes longer, which is the effect of circulating and attracting many customers. However, under the prior art, even if it can be shown that there is a long queue at a place away from the site where the store / facility is located, it is immediately aligned, that is, it does not lead to immediate consumption behavior. In other words, it is difficult for the conventional technology to exert a positive effect.

  Traditionally, there has been little interest in queues in network transactions. Since transactions on the network are processed by a computer, the idea of being able to respond quickly to an application and creating a queue before waiting for the response is essentially considered. This is because it is difficult.

  However, as mentioned above, since there is a positive image of advertising effects in the “queue” as a reality of real-world transactions, if this image can be reflected in transactions conducted on the network, the transaction It is possible to bring about an effect of improving profitability.

  Therefore, in order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention accepts a user unit application which is a user unit application on an application web page via a network, and uses the application reception to receive the application web page. Alternatively, an application reception system for displaying a queue image on another web page connected to the application web page through a link is proposed.

  By adopting the present invention having the above-described configuration, which is characterized by intentionally adopting the concept of “queue” that should not be necessary in the application process on the network, it is possible for each store / operator via the network. It can act as a barometer to measure the popularity of product offerings and service usage, and the display of the “matrix” state can be used as part of an advertising strategy with a positive image of “popular” Become.

<< Embodiment 1 >>
<Overview>
FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram of the application reception system of this embodiment. As shown in the figure, when the application acceptance system of this embodiment moves to the application web page via the network, there is a matrix image that makes the image of the number of people who have already applied for an application. The user unit application which is the application of the user unit is accepted from the applicant who obtained the motivation of the application. The application web page side updates and displays the queue image on the application web page or / and another web page linked to the application web page by using the reception. In the figure, on the web page of a specific URL for applying for the purchase of a certain cake, clicking the button for applying for the purchase together with the other users applying for the purchase of the cake at the end of the queue image display The queue image is shown being added. On the application web page, the waiting time of the users lined up at the end of the queue image and the user who is viewing the display (in the case of the figure, the user whose user ID is “XYE007”, are listed third from the front. It is also possible to display various times such as a waiting time until the response processing for the application is received. In the case of the example shown in the figure, it takes 43 minutes and 24 seconds to respond to the application of the user lined up at the end, and until the response process to the application of the user identified as the user ID: “XYE007” It can be seen that it takes 11 minutes and 32 seconds.

<Functional configuration>
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of functional blocks of the application reception system according to the present embodiment. As shown in this figure, the “application reception system” 0200 of the present embodiment has a “user unit application reception part” 0201 and a “queue image display part” 0202.

  Note that all of the functional blocks of the application reception system described below can be realized as hardware, software, or both hardware and software. Specifically, if a computer is used, a CPU, a main memory, a GPU, an image memory, a graphic board, a bus, or a secondary storage device (a storage medium such as a hard disk, a nonvolatile memory, a CD, a DVD, and the like) Media reading drives, etc.), input devices used for information input, touch panels, hardware components such as electronic pens, scanner devices, printers, and other external peripheral devices used exclusively for touch panel touch Examples include an interface for an external peripheral device, a communication interface, a driver program for controlling the hardware, and other application programs. Then, by the arithmetic processing of the CPU in accordance with the program developed on the main memory, the data input from the input device or other interface etc. and held in the memory or hardware is processed and accumulated, or each of the hardware And commands for controlling the software are generated. Here, the program may be realized as a plurality of modularized programs, or may be realized as a single program by combining two or more programs.

  Further, the present invention can be realized as a system by combining with one or a plurality of devices. A part of such an apparatus can be configured as software. Further, a recording medium on which such software is recorded is naturally included in the technical scope of the present invention (the same applies throughout the present specification, not limited to the present embodiment).

  The “user unit application reception unit” 0201 is configured to receive a user unit application, which is an application for each user, on the application web page via the network. The application web page here refers to a web page for procedures for applying for product purchase and service use. For example, a web page for applying to provide materials for considering application for product purchase and service use. It may be a page, or may be a variety of web pages on which applications for contents that allow the user's interest in other products and services to be grasped are made.

  The application web page is not necessarily configured to receive an application for one product / service on one page. That is, it may be configured to accept the various applications for a plurality of products, a plurality of services, or a plurality of products and services on one page. In addition, the application web page may accept an application in a format that does not specify a specific product purchase / service use. As a specific example, in the case of a restaurant reservation, the application may be limited to an application for reserving the visiting date and time, and a specific menu may be specified when visiting the store. By adopting such a configuration, it becomes possible not only to grasp the popularity for a specific product / service, but also to measure the popularity for a specific product / service provider including a store.

The “user unit application reception unit” receives an application on a user basis. This is because the present invention allows the user to view (show or / and hear) the queuing image display as a popular barometer, so that the application reception is grasped by identifying the application in units of users, and the number of application reception users. This is to make the queue look longer or shorter depending on the situation.
In order to identify the application in units of users, it is necessary that the application contents and the unit of the user who applied for the application be associated with each other in a 1: 1 ratio. For example, when the number of users for restaurant A reservation is three, the acceptance method of “three users” is accepted in units of users. By the way, when making a reservation for restaurant A when the number of people is unknown, “normal number of people 1” is accepted per user. Acceptance such as acceptance with an unknown number including zero people does not correspond to acceptance on a user basis.
Therefore, the user unit application receiving unit is configured to associate 1: 1 with the number of applicants who applied for one application.
As a specific method of the reception, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, when using the application reception system of the present invention, personal information, credit card number, and the user when using the system in advance. A configuration is conceivable in which an application is executed after specifying a content such as a product / service using a user ID given after registering a unique icon or avatar for indicating use. With this configuration, the application product / service and the user ID are stored in the application reception system in association with 1: 1, so the application is accepted in units of users (in this case, the user ID is a unit, and if there is only one, the application is accepted. The number becomes 1).

  An example of a configuration that may not be included in the “user unit” is an application by a user of a corporation or organization such as a school or a company. The reason for accepting the application in the first place is that the popularity of the product etc. is displayed in an audiovisual manner through the reception from each of the end user users. On the other hand, even if a queue image is generated in response to an application from a corporate or group user whose number of members is unclear and uneven, the queue image truly reflects the popularity of end users. It is hard to say that it was made. Therefore, it is desirable that the application by the user of the corporation / organization is not included in the “user unit” here. However, this is a design matter and should be designed to reflect the business idea. Therefore, for example, when it is difficult to distinguish between a corporation / organization and an individual due to the business structure, the corporation / organization may be an applicant for each user.

  The “queue image display unit” 0202 displays the queue image on the application web page or / and another web page linked to the application web page by using the acceptance of the user unit application. Configured. In the “queue image”, each user forms a queue for a specific product, service, store, virtual store, etc. (hereinafter, these may be collectively referred to as “product, etc.” in this specification). It is composed of images that bring about such visual effects. By performing the image display, it is possible to grasp at a glance the degree of popularity with respect to products and the like, and thus an effective advertising effect can be expected.

  Here, “using user unit application acceptance” means using information of user unit application acceptance in order to determine the display contents and display form of a queue image to be described later. As a specific example using the acceptance of the user unit application, the following processing flow can be cited.

  Here, FIG. 3 is shown in order to explain an example of the flow of processing using the user unit application reception. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of processing in the user unit application acceptance unit and the queue image display unit. As shown in the figure, when a new user unit application is received in step S0301 in the user unit application reception unit, the user ID of the applicant is acquired in step S0302. In step S0303, an avatar ID, which is an avatar ID associated with the user ID 1: 1, is acquired from the acquired user ID. In step S0304, the avatar ID is transmitted to the queue image display unit. When the queue image display unit acquires the transmitted avatar ID in step S0305, the corresponding avatar is acquired from the avatar ID in step S0306. In step S0307, the display of the queue image is updated using the acquired avatar, and the queue image indicating the latest waiting state is displayed. As already mentioned in the above description, the relationship between the user and the avatar is 1: 1, so if the queue image display is updated, what kind of users have received applications from how many people? It becomes possible to grasp at a glance.

The “queue image” will be described. As a typical queue image, a method of displaying a unique icon or avatar registered to each user at the start of system use so as to form a queue on the corresponding web page is assumed.
Since these icons, avatars, and the like are uniquely determined for each user, when the icons, avatars, and the like are displayed, the real feeling increases and the advertising effect is further enhanced. It also has the effect of dispelling the suspicion that so-called cherry blossom icons and avatars are included. If it is a unique icon, the applicant side can apply for the maximum number of applications between acquaintances to see if there is a certain amount of experimentation, such as Sakura mixing, so it is difficult for the operator to impersonate It is. As a means for giving a unique avatar or icon to each user, for example, a means for transmitting a user's face photo to an avatar server or icon server and automatically generating an avatar or icon from the face photo, or a basic avatar Various means are available, such as a means to prepare icons and icons, automatically generate avatars and icons with random numbers, a way to make avatars and icons freehanded by users and use them as avatars and icons It is done. The avatar and icon are preferably unique for each user, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of users (users, applicants) use a common avatar or icon (assignment). May be).

Note that the “queue image” is basically an image showing a state in which an individual user makes an application and forms a queue in order to purchase a product or the like. However, since the queue image is displayed in order to enhance the advertising effect as a positive image of the queue, it is always required that the display be a queue, that is, a lot of people line up. It is not something.
To give a specific example of a queue image, as described above, one character is assigned to one user who has received an application, and a plurality of assigned characters (specific examples of character settings). Will be described in detail in Embodiment 8.) In addition to the image in a state of being arranged in a row, other than that, for example, as shown in FIG. An image in a state of being gathered in the space of the range (FIG. (A)), an image of changing the character size assigned for each number of users in a predetermined unit (for example, 20, 50) (FIG. (B)), In the state of recalling the length of the matrix indirectly or abstractly by the length, thickness, size, type, etc. of the design image without setting multiple characters (For example, it is possible to show popularity by the size of a rolled-up tuna with a snake-wrapped snake as a motif.) Designed numbers and graphs can also be seen depending on the form of expression. It is possible to convey the level of popularity of the target product to the person. In addition, the size and color of characters and avatars according to the number of services and products that one applicant has applied for, the tools given to the characters and avatars, such as gold coins in hand, the size of shopping bags in hand, etc. You may control.

  On the other hand, an image using only simple numbers is not included in the “queue image” here. This is because it is numerical information and it is difficult to think that it will bring about the advertising effect that the present invention aims to appeal to visually or to the sixth sense of people.

<Another example of “use”: Create a matrix image using the total number of applicants counted>
Another example of “use” will be described. The application reception system of the present invention may further include a function of counting the number of users who have received applications at the user unit application reception unit. As an example of a specific counting method, when the process of accepting the application is performed, the counter is incremented with the start or end of the process as a trigger, and the value of the total number of applicants is accumulated. Thereafter, a queue image is displayed on each web page using the counted total number of applicants. Based on the premise that there are many applications in popular products / services and stores, by displaying the number of counts for each application as in this configuration, the product etc. It becomes possible to grasp popularity. If it is based only on the count, it is possible to create a queue image without using a unique avatar. Furthermore, the length of the matrix does not necessarily have to be completely proportional to the total number of applicants, and the actual length on the screen is not limited as long as the total number of applicants can be expressed.

<Functional configuration with user count section>
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating another example of functional blocks of the application reception system according to the present embodiment. As shown in this figure, the “application reception system” 0400 of the present embodiment has a “user application application reception unit” 0401, a “user number count unit” 0402, and a “queue image display unit” 0403. The queue image display unit has “queue image count display means” 0410. Since the basic configuration is the same as that of the application reception system described above with reference to FIG. 2, the functions of the “user number count unit” and “queue image count display means” which are different points will be described below.

  The “user number counting unit” 0402 is configured to count the number of users who have received an application in the user unit application receiving unit. An example of “counting the number of users who have accepted an application” means a process of adding the number of users who have accepted an application “1” to the number of users waiting in the past.

  “Queue image count display means” 0410 uses the counted number of users in the queue image display unit to display the application web page or / and another web page connected to the application web page by a link. It is configured to display a queue image. That is, this means that the number of users counted by the user number counting unit is used for displaying a queue image. The specific technical intention will be described later.

  In addition, another example of the flow of processing for displaying a queue image using user unit application reception will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is also a flowchart showing the flow of processing in the user unit application receiving unit and the queue image display unit. As shown in the figure, when a new application for a user unit is received in step S0501 in the user unit application reception unit, in step S0502, “1”, which is the number of user units of the application, is conventionally put on standby. Count processing to be added to a certain number of users (A) is performed to calculate the current waiting state number (B). In step S0503, the current waiting state number (B) is transmitted to the queue image display unit, and the queue image display unit acquires the transmitted current waiting state number (B) as step S0504. Thereafter, in step S0505, the received current waiting number (B) is compared with the number of users in the waiting state (A), and the comparison result is larger for the current waiting state number (B). If the content is, the process proceeds to step S0506. If the comparison result is the same value as A and B, the queue image display unit does not perform subsequent processing. In step S0506, the display is updated so as to display a queue image corresponding to the current waiting state number (B). Thereafter, in step S0507, a process of redefining the current waiting state number (B) as the conventional waiting state number (A) is performed, and in step S0508, the redefined conventional waiting state number (A) is accepted as a user unit application. To the department. Note that the flow of the above process is merely an example. For example, the step of performing the AB binary comparison process (in this case, step S0505) may be performed by the user unit application receiving unit instead of the queue image display unit. . In any case, if the configuration using the count result indicating the binary magnitude relationship between A and B is used, it is possible to ensure the up-to-date display of the waiting state image without any particular burden on the computer.

<Applicant status to be used>
Note that the queue image only needs to be displayed by using the acceptance of the user unit application, and it does not matter whether the acceptance has been subjected to a response process. Therefore, for example, in addition to a configuration that uses acceptance of a user unit application after application acceptance until completion of response processing, a queue image may be generated and displayed using the number of acceptances by users who have completed response processing. (Details will be described in Embodiment 4).

  The queue image is displayed on the same web page as the application web page, as shown in FIG. 1, as “On the application web page or / and another web page linked to the application web page”. It may be configured so that a configuration displayed on another web page may be adopted. In this case, the application web page and the other web page are connected by a link so that the relationship between the application and the queue image can be understood. As a specific method of linking, for example, a method of pasting a link to a web page on which application acceptance processing is performed on a web page on which a queue image corresponding to a specific product or the like is displayed. With this configuration, the user can understand the popularity of the product etc. by looking at the queue image, and as a result, there is a real queue effect that the user wants or wants to use the product etc. In this way, the number of users who immediately perform application processing can be increased. This effect is a very characteristic feature of the present invention that makes full use of the positive image aspect of the queue that the queue image has an advertising effect for the user.

  Up to this point, a configuration has been described in which a queue image is displayed using acceptance of an application for each user, and further applications are accepted from other users who viewed the display. However, the display of the queue image is not limited to the case where the number of users is used. For example, the queue image may be displayed corresponding to the number of products / services applied for (the above points are described in this specification). The same can be applied to other embodiments.) Specifically, the application from the user is accepted in the product / service unit application accepting unit instead of the user unit application accepting unit in the product unit and / or service unit, and a queue image is obtained using the acceptance. It may be displayed. If this is applied to the example shown in FIG. 1, since one user has applied for the purchase of two cakes, in the queue image displayed using the application, the previous queue is displayed. On the other hand, instead of one person, two persons are additionally displayed. By adopting the configuration as described above, when applying for a plurality of products / services by one user, it is possible to display a queuing image reflecting the degree of popularity more than when using the number of users. It becomes possible. In other words, this means that the application from the corporate / organizational user explained above will be displayed according to the application amount (the number of products purchased, the degree of use of the service, etc.). . Therefore, by adopting such a configuration, it becomes possible to grasp the popularity of products and the like that could not be grasped only by the application for each user.

<Specific configuration>
FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a configuration when the application receiving system of the present embodiment is realized as hardware. The operation of each hardware component will be described with reference to this figure.

  As shown in this figure, each device constituting the application reception system includes a “CPU” 0701, “storage device (storage medium)” 0702, “main memory” 0703, “Output interface” 0704, “Input interface” 0705, and “Internet communication interface” 0706 are provided, and can transmit and receive information to and from external peripheral devices such as “keyboard” 0707 and “display” 0708 via the input / output interface. Do. In addition, information is transmitted / received to / from the “terminal device” 0799 via the Internet communication interface. Through the transmission and reception of information with the “terminal device” here, the queue image is displayed and output to the terminal device, or the application for the product subject to the queue image queue is accepted from the terminal device. To do. The storage device stores various programs as described below, and the CPU reads these various programs into the work area of the main memory, and develops and executes them. These components are connected to each other via a data communication path such as “system bus” 0709 to transmit / receive information and process information. In addition, since it can be considered that a “product / service unit application reception program” 0730 is held instead of the “user unit application reception program” 0710, the user unit application reception program is indicated by a solid line in FIG. On the other hand, the “product / service unit application acceptance program” is indicated by a dotted line.

(Specific processing of the user unit application reception department)
The CPU reads out and executes the “user unit application reception program” 0710 from the storage device to the main memory, executes a process of receiving an application transmitted from the terminal device in units of users, and the processing result is stored in a predetermined address of the main memory. To store.

(Specific processing of the queue image display section)
The CPU reads the “queue image display program” 0720 from the storage device into the main memory and executes it, generates a queue image using information obtained by executing the user unit application acceptance program, and generates the queue image. A process for displaying and outputting the queue image on a predetermined web page is performed.

(Specific processing when the product / service unit application reception unit is used instead of the user unit application reception unit)
The CPU reads the “product / service unit application acceptance program” 0730 from the storage device into the main memory and executes it, performs processing for accepting the application transmitted from the terminal device in units of products and / or services, and displays the processing result. Store at a predetermined address in the main memory.

<Process flow>
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of processing in the application reception system of this embodiment. The flow of processing in the figure consists of the following steps. First, in step S0801, the application from the terminal device operated by the user is received in the user unit (user unit application reception step). In step S0802, a queue image is generated using the application acceptance result, and the queue image is displayed on a predetermined web page (queue image display step). Note that it is possible to use a product / service unit application reception step instead of the user unit application reception step. In this case, in step S0801, the application from the terminal device operated by the user is performed with the product and the content of the application. It will be accepted in units of services.

<Effect>
By using the application reception system with the above configuration, the number of applications for products, services, stores, etc. is displayed using a matrix that is a barometer that measures the degree of popularity, and the display of the state that there is a matrix is positive Can be used as part of an advertising strategy.

<< Embodiment 2 >>
<Overview>
The application reception system according to the present embodiment is basically the same as the application reception system according to the first embodiment, but the received user unit application is set to a waiting state that is in an unprocessed state before the response process is executed, and the waiting state The point which performs the response process with respect to a user unit application is provided as the further characteristic. By adopting this configuration, it is possible to display a queue image that reflects the status of the provider's response to the application from the user.

<Functional configuration>
FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of functional blocks of the application reception system according to the present embodiment. As shown in this figure, the “application reception system” 0900 of this embodiment includes a “user unit application reception unit” 0901, a “queue image display unit” 0902, and a “user unit application waiting state processing unit” 0903. , “Response processing execution unit” 0904. Since the basic configuration is the same as that of the application reception system described with reference to FIG. 2 of the first embodiment, the functions of the “user unit application waiting state processing unit” and “response processing execution unit” which are different points will be described below. To do.

  The “user unit application waiting state processing unit” 0903 is configured to enter a waiting state in an unprocessed state before executing a response process for a user unit application received by the user unit application receiving unit. This means that, in the application reception system of this embodiment, when there is an application from the user, an unprocessed state is intentionally created without prompt response processing for the application. Yes. It becomes possible to generate a queue image displayed on the queue image display unit by positioning an application from each user made at a different timing as an unprocessed state, that is, a “waiting state”. Specifically, status information is associated with a task applied for each user, and this status information is recorded and held as an unprocessed status. Or, the task corresponding to the unprocessed status task holding area is recorded and held.

  It should be noted that how long the unprocessed state lasts is inextricably linked with the timing of response processing, and the decision may be determined by the user unit application waiting state processing unit. The later-described response process execution unit may determine this. When response processing is performed by a later-described response processing execution unit, the task is deleted in the user unit application waiting state processing unit and the task is deleted, or the associated status is changed to being processed or processed.

  The “response process executing unit” 0904 is configured to execute a response process for the user unit application that is in a waiting state in the user unit application waiting state processing unit. When a queue composed of a plurality of users is formed, a response process for an application by the user with the highest priority is performed for each predetermined waiting time (for example, 5 minutes). Specific examples of the “response process for user-based application” here include the contents corresponding to the application, such as the start of the product shipping process for each user, the completion of the arrival confirmation of the shipment, and the use permission process for the product / service. In addition to processing, credit card settlement processing, payment destination notification processing, etc., it also includes a response when the application cannot be accepted, such as a service unusable notification processing and a product sold-out numerical value processing.

  In addition, for the user who is about to execute the response process, a configuration is adopted in which prior to the execution of the response process, a communication process is used to notify that the execution of the response process is imminent using a communication means such as e-mail. May be. With this configuration, it is possible to alert a user who has been in a waiting state for a long time and forgets the fact that he / she originally applied, and provides an opportunity for cancellation as necessary.

  The “gallery count unit” 1503 is configured to count the number of users who viewed the queue image via the network. As an example of the “counting the number of users who watched” here, it is assumed that the number of display times of the web page on which the queue image is displayed is counted. For example, a method may be employed in which a button for reporting that the queue image has been viewed is provided and the number of clicks on the button is counted. Adopting this configuration will count the number of users who consciously viewed the web page where the queue image is displayed, rather than the user who happened to view it. It becomes possible to grasp.

  The “first gallery image display unit” 1504 is configured to display a gallery image on the same display screen on which the queue image is displayed according to the counted number of galleries. The term “according to the number of counted galleries” here refers to displaying the galleries so that the number of counted galleries corresponds to a predetermined category, in addition to the configuration of displaying galleries for the number of counted galleries. Configuration is also conceivable. As a specific example, if the number of galleries counted is “177” by defining a category such as “display one additional gallery whenever the number of galleries counted exceeds 100”. For example, if one gallery is displayed and the counted number of galleries is “1301”, thirteen galleries are displayed. By adopting such a configuration, for example, the ratio of the display of the gallery image corresponding to the queue image such as a product with a particularly large number of views to the display screen can be suppressed within a certain range. It is possible to avoid a situation that visually disturbs other displays.

  A display form in which the gallery image forms a queue together with the queue image is not adopted. This is because the gallery image is displayed according to the number of users who “viewed” the queue image, and the display mode needs to be clearly distinguished from the queue image. In particular, in order to distinguish the two images, it is desirable to distinguish and display the display form (color, shape, size, display position, etc.) of the elements constituting each image. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, if displayed in an area different from the queue image and displayed by a character different from the display of individual users constituting the queue image, The difference between the gallery image and the queue image is emphasized.

FIG. 22 is a diagram illustrating an example of functional blocks of the application reception system according to the present embodiment. As shown in this figure, the “application reception system” 2200 of this embodiment has a “user unit application reception part” 2201, a “queue image display part” 2202, and an “avatar assignment part” 2203. The “queue image display unit” further includes “avatar display means” 2210. Since the basic configuration is the same as that of the application receiving system described with reference to FIG. 2 of the first embodiment, the functions of “avatar assigning unit” and “avatar display means” which are different points will be described below.

  The “avatar assigning unit” 2203 is configured to assign an avatar to each user. As an example of the “assignment” processing here, a pre-assignment type performed at the time of user registration performed when the user uses the application reception system of the present invention, and a post-assignment type that assigns an avatar when each image display is performed You could think so. As described above, in order to emphasize that the display of the avatar associated with a specific user has an advertising effect, it is preferable to use a pre-allocation type as a method of allocation processing. It is not intended to exclude the post assignment type. Even if it is a post-allocation type, each user can receive an allocation of the avatar display of the aspect desired by the user, so that the display is actively performed, that is, the motive for contributing to the improvement of the advertising effect accompanying the display This is because it is possible to conclude.

  The “avatar” referred to here is a character associated with each user, and there is no limitation on the form of animals and plants, objects, and the like, in addition to a human appearance. Although it may be possible to automatically assign according to the user's attributes (age, gender, occupation, etc.), it is possible to assign an image of a mode in which each user combines or created arbitrary categories or parts as the avatar of the user From the viewpoint of active use of avatars, it is preferable. Even after an avatar has been assigned, it can be changed by the user afterwards, and conversely, the process of not accepting an avatar assignment as "no avatar assignment required" It may be provided as part of the function. With this configuration, even a user who is not particularly interested in avatar display and does not desire avatar assignment processing can use the application reception system of the present invention without feeling any particular stress.

  The “avatar display means” 2210 is configured to display each image using an avatar assigned to each user in each image display unit. The “each image display unit” here is the same as each image unit described in the seventh embodiment, and means that display using an avatar is possible in each image display associated with the user in some form. doing. Here, in particular, in the case of avatar display in the queue image display unit, it is necessary to be performed in the corresponding user portion of each character constituting the queue image. For example, the third avatar is the avatar assigned to the user who is waiting for the third turn. In other image display units, there are no particular restrictions on the position and correspondence of the avatar display in each image display unit.

<Specific configuration>
The hardware configuration of the application receiving system of the present embodiment is basically the same as the hardware configuration of the application receiving system of the first embodiment described with reference to FIG. 7, and thus has not been described so far.

<< Embodiment 9 >>
<Overview>
The application reception system according to the present embodiment is basically the same as the application reception system according to any one of Embodiments 2 to 8, except that a user unit application waiting state processing unit and / or a response process is executed for a user unit application. The processing priority in each section is assigned, and the user unit application waiting state processing section and / or the response processing execution section has a further feature in that each process is executed in accordance with the assigned priority. By adopting this configuration, it is possible to respond to the needs of users who want to respond to requests for popular products etc. as soon as possible by looking at the queue image and contribute to improving the profitability of products etc. It becomes possible.

<Functional configuration>
FIG. 24 is a diagram illustrating an example of functional blocks of the application reception system according to the present embodiment. As shown in this figure, the “application reception system” 2400 of this embodiment includes a “user unit application reception part” 2401, a “queue image display part” 2402, a “priority assignment part” 2403, and a “user “Unit application waiting state processing unit” 2404 and “response processing execution unit” 2405, and “response processing execution unit” further includes “priority processing means” 2410. Since the basic configuration is the same as that of the application receiving system described with reference to FIG. 9 of the second embodiment, the functions of “priority assignment unit” and “priority processing means” which are different points will be described below.

  The “priority assignment unit” 2403 is configured to assign the priority of processing in the user unit application waiting state processing unit and / or the response processing execution unit to the user unit application. By assigning “priority” here, the user can preferentially enjoy the purchase of goods or the use of services without following the order of the queue. Specifically, first, in the configuration in which the processing priority in the user unit application waiting state processing unit can be assigned, the waiting state processing is received in the order of priority given to other users already in the waiting state. . On the other hand, if the priority of the process in the response process execution unit is assigned, even if another user is already in a waiting state, the response process for the application can be received with priority over such a user.

  “Assigning priority” may be performed under a predetermined rule set in advance, or may be set in response to reception of priority assignment request information from a user. . A specific example of the “predetermined rule” may be a method of granting according to the number of times the user has logged into the system, the number of comment transmissions, and the payment amount settled using the system. Alternatively, it may be a method of giving in response to the occurrence of a specific event such as a user's birthday (birth month) or introduction of a new user registration. Furthermore, it may be a method in which all or some of the users are given all at once at an arbitrary date and time by the system operator. In any case, assigning a priority is an incentive for a user to apply for a product etc. using this system. As a result, there is an effect of promoting the use of this system. Combined with the positive image provision effect, it can be expected to lead to activation of use of this system.

  As the contents of the assigned priority, for example, the processing in the user unit application waiting state processing unit is given priority by a predetermined number of users, or the waiting time until the scheduled response processing is shortened by a predetermined time. It is assumed that it is a thing. Alternatively, the timing at which an application can be made may be made earlier than the originally scheduled timing. By assigning these priorities, it becomes possible for the user to shorten the time required to accept a response to an application and to conduct a smooth transaction.

  The priority is assigned to the application for each user, but it is not necessary to assign the priority to the specific application for each user. That is, priorities that can be used for future user unit applications can be pre-assigned. In the example of the predetermined rules for priority assignment listed above, the priority assigned in association with the number of logins to the system, the number of comment transmissions, the user's birthday, etc. Not necessarily associated. In this case, because it is possible to promote priority-specific processing according to priority for any product, etc., "priority" is not an abstract information, but as an option separately from the product etc. It is possible to add unique property values. Therefore, it is possible to make a unique transaction by charging for the priority assignment, or to function as a present for other users (the processing for charging is described in the tenth embodiment). Will be explained in detail in this section.)

  Here, an example of charging for priority assignment will be described with reference to FIG. The table shown in FIG. 6 shows the relationship between the amount of money (priority charged for priority) necessary for assigning priority and the amount of options necessary for priority assignment. As shown in the figure, it is conceivable to calculate the charge amount for the priority assignment as a predetermined ratio of the price of the product to be applied. The predetermined ratio may be set so as to progressively decrease so that the priority allocation charge amount for a high-priced product does not become disproportionately high. In the case of the figure, when the price of goods etc. exceeds 30,000 yen, the case where the said predetermined ratio (allocation rate) was set from 5% to 3% is shown. According to the figure, in order to obtain the necessary priority allocation for a product with a price of 3,000 yen, a charge of 150 yen is required. ”Option (10 yen / card), it is necessary to purchase 15 priority options. In this way, by making priorities optional, it is possible to secure profits in the operation of this system.

  The “priority processing means” 2410 is configured to execute each process according to the assigned priority in the user unit application waiting state processing unit and / or the response processing execution unit. Specific processing is performed in accordance with the contents of the priorities described with reference to an example.

<Specific configuration>
The hardware configuration of the application reception system of this embodiment is basically the same as the hardware configuration of the application reception system of Embodiment 1 described with reference to FIG. Therefore, in the following, specific processing of the “priority assignment unit” and the “priority processing unit” not described so far will be described.

(Specific processing of the priority assignment unit)
The CPU reads the “priority allocation program” from the storage device into the main memory and executes it, and when executing the user unit application waiting state processing program or / and the response process execution program related to the user unit application, A process of assigning a priority for each execution is performed, and the processing result is stored in a predetermined address of the main memory.

(Specific processing of processing means by priority)
The CPU reads the “priority processing subprogram” from the storage device into the main memory, executes the response processing execution program or the user unit application waiting state processing program, executes the subprogram, and executes the priority allocation program. The response process or the user unit application waiting state process corresponding to the priority assigned to the user unit application is performed, and each processing result is stored in a predetermined address of the main memory.

<Process flow>
FIG. 26 is a diagram illustrating an example of a processing flow of the application reception system according to the present embodiment. The flow of processing in the figure consists of the following steps. First, in step S2601, an application from the terminal device operated by the user is accepted in the user unit (user unit application acceptance step). Next, in step S2602, the priority of processing in the postscript response processing execution step is assigned to the application (priority assignment step). In step S2603, a process of waiting for an application for each user who has accepted the application is performed (waiting state processing step). In step S2604, a queue image is generated using the acceptance of the user unit application, and the queue image is displayed on a predetermined web page (queue image display step). Thereafter, in step S2605, a process is performed to determine whether or not a response process execution timing for the waiting state has come. If the determination result here indicates that the response process should be executed, the process proceeds to step S2606. If not, no special process is performed until the response process execution timing comes. In step S2606, a response process for the application for each user in the waiting state is executed according to the assigned priority (priority response process execution step). Incidentally, in the priority assignment step, processing other than the response processing execution step may be performed to assign processing priority in the waiting state processing step. In this case, in step S2603, a process for placing a user application in a waiting state according to the assigned priority is performed (priority waiting state processing step).

<Effect>
By using the application reception system with the above configuration, responding to the needs of users who want to respond to requests for popular products as soon as possible by looking at the queue image, as well as profitability of products etc. It becomes possible to contribute to improvement.

<< Embodiment 10 >>
<Overview>
The application reception system according to the present embodiment is basically the same as the application reception system according to the ninth embodiment, except that a request for assigning a priority for a user unit application is received from a user and the user is charged for the assignment request. The point which carries out the processing is provided as a further feature. By adopting this configuration in addition to the advertising effects brought about by the queue image display, it becomes possible to practice advertising activities that are cost-effective for merchandise / service providers.

<Functional configuration>
FIG. 27 is a diagram illustrating an example of functional blocks of the application reception system according to the present embodiment. As shown in this figure, the “application reception system” 2700 of this embodiment includes a “user unit application reception part” 2701, a “queue image display part” 2702, a “priority assignment part” 2703, and a “user” “Unit application waiting state processing unit” 2704, “response processing execution unit” 2705, “accounting processing unit” 2706, and “allocation request receiving unit” 2707, and “response processing execution unit” has “priority” It further has “degree processing means” 2710. Since the basic configuration is the same as that of the application reception system described with reference to FIG. 24 of the ninth embodiment, the “allocation request reception unit” and “accounting processing unit” which are different points will be described below.

  The “allocation request reception unit” 2707 is configured to receive a priority allocation request for a user unit application from a user. The “assignment request” here includes not only the assignment of priority to the user itself but also an assignment request to other users. With this configuration, users can interact with each other through actions such as giving priority to other users, and many users can use the priority to deal with products, etc. Since the application can be facilitated, the transaction in the system is activated as a result. In addition, as shown in FIG. 1, by displaying the waiting time at the end of the queue or the execution time of the response process of the applying user on the application web page, it is possible for the user who saw the display to be as soon as possible. It is also possible to bring about an effect of prompting an allocation request to have a response process. If such a configuration is adopted, the amount of processing for post-charging according to the allocation request also increases, and as a result, the profit of the operator of this system is improved.

  Note that the timing of accepting an allocation request varies depending on the priority application described above, and therefore it is desirable to adopt a configuration that can accept the request at any timing in the processing flow of this system. .

  “Accounting processing unit” 2706 is configured to process the user for accounting in response to the allocation request. As described above, since the property value is generated in the priority itself depending on how it is handled, it is possible to perform charging processing for a request for assigning a priority having such value. Conceivable. “Billing processing” here includes “billing processing” which means that the user is charged directly, and acts as a proxy for billing processing such as a credit card company or communication carrier company. A process of transmitting information such as a scheduled charge amount for the allocation request to the user is also included. More specifically, what kind of aspect and timing is to be charged for the scheduled charge for the allocation request (for example, whether to charge periodically at a predetermined timing, or consideration for products obtained using this system) The process for determining the form of the billing process is also included in the “billing process”. By adopting this configuration, it is possible to complete processing related to charging at the stage of receiving an allocation request, and therefore it is possible to prevent subsequent charging omission for the system operator.

FIG. 28 is a diagram showing an example of the processing flow of the application reception system of this embodiment. The flow of processing in the figure consists of the following steps. First, in step S2801, the application from the terminal device operated by the user is accepted in the user unit (user unit application acceptance step). In step S2802, a priority allocation request for the user unit application is received (allocation request reception step). In step S2803, the priority of processing in the response processing execution step described later is assigned to the application and assignment request (priority assignment step). In step S2804, the user is charged for the allocation request (charging processing step). Thereafter, in step S2805, a process of waiting for an application for each user who has accepted the application is performed (waiting state processing step). In step S2806, a queue image is generated by using the acceptance of the user unit application, and the queue image is displayed on a predetermined web page (queue image display step). Thereafter, in step S2807, a process is performed to determine whether or not the response process execution timing for the waiting state has come. If the determination result here indicates that the response process should be executed, the process proceeds to step S2808. If not, no special process is performed until the response process execution timing comes. In step S2808, response processing for the application for each user that has been in a waiting state is executed according to the assigned priority (priority response processing execution step). Incidentally, in the priority assignment step, processing other than the response processing execution step may be performed to assign processing priority in the waiting state processing step. In this case, in step S2805, a process for putting a user unit application in a waiting state according to the assigned priority is performed (priority waiting state processing step).
