FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing processing relating to transmission of a New Year's card image. S31 in the figure is a process executed by the control unit 31 of the management server 3, and S32 and S33 are processes executed by the control unit of the recipient terminal 9.

  In the present embodiment, when the management server 3 reaches the transmission date / time 325 set in the receiver master 320 or the registration of the receiver master 320 is completed (when the transmission date / time is not input as described above). Based on the recipient master 320, a mail including the New Year's card image and the mail address of the user A and the confirmation URL 322 is transmitted (S31).

  Here, the recipient mail address 321 and the sender mail address 323 of the recipient master 320 are decrypted by the recovery server. Then, the sender is the user A's mail address, the destination is the user B's mail address, and a mail including the New Year's card image and the user B confirmation URL 322 is transmitted to the user B's mail address. The recipient terminal 9 of the user B receives this mail (S32) and displays a mail screen including a New Year's card image and a confirmation URL 322 (S33).

  FIG. 11 shows an example of the mail screen 17. On this mail screen 17, a New Year's card image 173 is displayed in addition to the mail addresses 171 and 172 of user A (sender) and user B (recipient). Further, a confirmation URL 322 is displayed as text data or the like. The confirmation URL 322 may be embedded in the New Year's card image 173 and displayed. Further, the lottery number 326 assigned to the New Year card image 173 may be displayed on the mail screen 17.

  If the lottery number is not given to the New Year card image, the confirmation URL 322 is not included in the mail. In addition, when the New Year's card image is not transmitted correctly due to an error in the e-mail address or the like, the user A is notified to that effect, the information of the recipient master 320 corresponding to the New Year's card image is deleted, and the new year's card image is added. The lottery number 313 of the sender master 310 corresponding to the lottery number 326 can be restored as the lottery target of the user A (re-recorded as “lottery target” in the status 314).

  The New Year's card image is transmitted as described above. Note that a deadline is set for the transmission date of the New Year's card image. For example, it is assumed that a lottery number can be sent only until the day before the lottery date, and those that are not given can be sent only within a predetermined period after the lottery result is confirmed (for example, after 30 days or until the premium delivery deadline).

(3-5. Lottery lottery)
In this embodiment, it is assumed that a lottery number is drawn when a predetermined lottery date is reached, and the winning lottery number is registered in the number master 300 or the like.

  In this embodiment, unlike the lottery form of the New Year's card by the conventional postcard, the lottery is performed only for the purchased lottery number, and the winning number is selected at random. In this way, in the present embodiment, since lottery numbers are system-managed, only lottery numbers that have been purchased and distributed can be targeted for lottery, and the number of winners can be manipulated, such as what percentage of them is won. It is also possible to change the winning probability according to the number of lottery numbers purchased.

  Winning announcements are made in some form, such as newspapers, but winning numbers are not announced. This is because individual winning numbers are selected at random without determining the winning number according to a predetermined rule (for example, winning the last 00 digits) as in the New Year's card by postcard. Note that the lottery numbers 313 and 326 of the sender master 310 and the receiver master 320 become invalid after the lottery date.

(3-6. Confirmation of lottery result)
FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a process related to confirmation of a lottery result. S41, S42, and S46 to S50 in the figure are processes executed by the control unit of the recipient terminal 9, and S43 to S45 and S51 are processes executed by the control unit 31 of the management server 3.

  When the user B confirms the lottery result of the lottery number 326, the user B operates the recipient terminal 9 and inputs his / her confirmation URL 322 described in the mail. When the confirmation URL 322 is input, the recipient terminal 9 accesses the login site provided by the management server 3, receives the login screen, and displays it on the display unit (S41).

  FIG. 13A is a diagram illustrating an example of the login screen 18. On this screen, an email address input area 181 for inputting an email address and a “login” button 183 for shifting to a lottery result confirmation screen are displayed. The login screen 18 displays the email addresses of one or more senders who have transmitted New Year's card images to User B, such as User A, and one or more lottery numbers assigned to New Year's card images from each sender. You can also.

  User B operates recipient terminal 9 to input user B's mail address in mail address input area 181 and selects “login” button 183. The recipient terminal 9 accepts the selection of the “login” button 183 and transmits the mail address of the user B as authentication information to the management server 3 (S42).

  Upon receiving the authentication information (S43), the management server 3 compares the confirmation URL 322 with the mail address of the user B, and checks whether there is a correspondence relationship based on the predetermined rule when the confirmation URL 322 is generated. User authentication is performed (S44).

  When the user authentication is successful, the management server 3 refers to the recipient master 320 and the number master 300, and the lottery number 326 corresponding to the mail address of the user B in the recipient master 320 is recorded as the winning number in the number master 300. It is determined whether or not. And based on a determination result, the lottery result confirmation screen which shows the winning of each lottery number 326 of the user B is produced, and it transmits to the receiver terminal 9 (S45). The recipient terminal 9 receives the lottery result confirmation screen (S46) and displays it (S47).

  FIG. 13B is a diagram showing an example of the lottery result confirmation screen 19. In this screen, a lottery result display area 191 for displaying the lottery result of the lottery number 326 and a “gift delivery application” button 193 for applying for a gift delivery are displayed.

  In the present embodiment, the results of a plurality of lottery numbers 326 given to a plurality of sender's New Year's card images registered in the recipient master 320 can be collectively displayed and confirmed in the lottery result display area 191. it can.

  That is, in the example of the recipient master 320 shown in FIG. 3C, the user B has received New Year's card images from a plurality of senders including the user A, and “abc @. A plurality of e-mail addresses "zzz @ ..." and "999 @ ..." are registered. In addition, a New Year's card image of each sender is registered as the New Year's card data 324, and a lottery number 326 assigned to each New Year's card image by each sender is registered in the lottery number 326. Then, in the lottery result display area 191 of the lottery result confirmation screen 19, as shown in FIG. 13B, the email address of each sender, the lottery number assigned to the New Year's card image by each sender, and the lottery number The lottery results (such as “off”, “4th grade”, etc.) are displayed together. In the lottery result display area 191, it is also possible to display the winning number of the user B's lottery number 326 and the like.

  User B confirms whether or not his / her lottery number 326 has been won on the lottery result confirmation screen 19. If there is a lottery number that has been won and he wishes to send a prize, he / she operates the receiver terminal 9. A “gift sending application” button 193 is selected. The recipient terminal 9 accepts a free gift application by selecting the “Premium Send Application” button 193 (S48).

  When the recipient terminal 9 accepts the gift delivery application, the recipient terminal 9 displays an application screen (not shown), accepts the input of the address information of the user B necessary for sending the gift (S49), and transmits the address information to the management server 3. (S50). The management server 3 receives the address information of the user B (S51).

  The system administrator mails the gift to the user B based on the obtained address information. FIG. 13C shows the pre-lottery screen 19a when the confirmation URL 322 is accessed before the lottery date. In this case, a winning result announcement date and a message 195 for logging in after the announcement date are displayed. The

  In the present embodiment, the user A also confirms the lottery result of the lottery number 313 that is not given to the New Year's card image (not registered in the recipient master 320) among the lottery numbers 313 that he / she purchased. It can be done with the procedure.

  That is, by inputting the confirmation URL 312 received in S18 by operating the sender terminal 7, the login screen 18 similar to that shown in FIG. 13A can be displayed. The same lottery result confirmation screen 19 as in b) can be displayed on the sender terminal 7.

  In this case, the management server 3 determines whether or not the lottery number 313 whose status 314 is “lottery target” in the sender master 310 is recorded as a winning number in the number master 300, and the determination result is The lottery result based on the lottery result confirmation screen 19 is displayed in the lottery result display area 191. Note that the e-mail address of the sender of the New Year's card image does not necessarily have to be displayed in the lottery result display area 191. In addition, the lottery result display area 191 can display lottery results for all lottery numbers 313 in the sender master 310, including those given to the New Year's card image by the user A. Can also display the mail address of the recipient of the New Year's card image (user B, etc.) by referring to the recipient master 320.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the lottery number purchased by the sender can be assigned to the New Year's card image addressed to the receiver from the sender online, and the receiver can select the lottery number assigned to the New Year's card image. The lottery result can be confirmed. Thereby, the pleasure of the lottery by the lottery number is attached to the New Year's card image transmitted / received online. Furthermore, the conventional New Year's card can solve the problem of labor costs at the post office for delivery of the New Year's card and confirmation at the time of winning the New Year's prize.

  Further, in the lottery result confirmation screen 19, since lottery results for a plurality of lottery numbers corresponding to a plurality of sender's New Year's card images registered in the receiver master 320 can be displayed at a time, the lottery results are transmitted from a plurality of senders. The lottery results can be confirmed at once on the lottery result confirmation screen 19 for a plurality of lottery numbers assigned to the images.

  In addition, registration of a mail address makes it possible to send a New Year's card image or the like to the recipient terminal 9 by mail. Furthermore, by registering the transmission date and time of the New Year's card image, for example, the New Year's card image can be transmitted at a fixed time such as 0:00 on January 1, and the transmission of the New Year's card image can be reserved.

  In addition, lottery number lottery is performed by selecting the winning number from among the lottery numbers purchased, so the lottery number and the number of winning lots can be determined from among the lottery numbers that have been purchased and circulated. Can be made more efficient. For example, a new year's card that was not sold is no longer being won as in a conventional New Year's card.
