  FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram showing a functional configuration for controlling the execution of the cache back process among the functional configurations of the information processing system of FIG.

  In the CPU 21 (FIG. 2) of the service providing server 11, when the cashback process is executed, as shown in FIG. 3, the communication control unit 101, the extraction unit 102, the determination unit 103, and the transfer execution unit 104 Works.

  The communication control unit 101 controls communication with other devices by the communication unit 29. Here, the other devices mean the user terminals 12-1 to 12-n and the mobile shop device 13 of FIG. 1 in the present embodiment, but for convenience of explanation, the user terminals 12-1 and 12-1 shown in FIG. Alternatively, the mobile shop device 13 is assumed.

The communication control unit 101 includes a transmission information generation unit 111 and a reception information acquisition unit 112.
The transmission information generation unit 111 generates information to be transmitted to another device (hereinafter referred to as “transmission information”) and transmits the information to the other device via the communication unit 29. A specific example of transmission information will be described later.
When information from another device is received by the communication unit 29, the reception information acquisition unit 112 acquires the information (hereinafter referred to as “reception information”). A specific example of the reception information will be described later.

The extraction unit 102 extracts various types of user candidate information to be cashed back.
Here, the reason for selecting a candidate is that there is a possibility that information on an unauthorized user who should not be the target of cashback may be extracted. In other words, the cash back process of the present embodiment includes a process of finding an unauthorized user from user candidates by various determination processes by the determination unit 103 described later and prohibiting the unauthorized user from cash back. Because. In other words, by executing the cache back process of the present embodiment, the cache back is performed only for the legitimate user who is the target of the cash back.

As described above, the determination unit 103 determines whether the user candidate specified by the various types of information extracted by the extraction unit 102 is a legitimate user, in other words, an unauthorized user.
Various determination units are provided in the determination unit 103 according to the type of determination. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 3, the telephone number determination unit 121, the carrier determination unit 122, the access network determination unit 123, the cookie determination unit 124, the time determination unit 125, and the final determination unit 126 are provided in the determination unit 103. It has been.

  Here, it is the carrier determination unit 122 and the access network determination unit 123 that make a particularly important determination in order to find an unauthorized user. The functions of the carrier determination unit 122 and the access network determination unit 123 will be described below.

For example, it is assumed that the user purchases the user terminal 12-1 on the premise that the user contracts with the first carrier and communicates using the carrier network C1 of the first carrier in the mobile shop.
In this case, a unique telephone number is assigned to the user terminal 12-1, and the telephone number is registered and managed in the HLR 130 (Home Location Register 130) of the first carrier.

  When the user of the user terminal 12-1 is a candidate for cashback, the reception information acquisition unit 112 receives the telephone number assigned to the user terminal 12-1 from the mobile shop device 13 when the user contracts. Obtain as information.

The carrier determination unit 122 determines a carrier in which the telephone number acquired by the reception information acquisition unit 112 is registered.
Here, when the user is a legitimate user, that is, when the contract with the first carrier is maintained, the telephone number assigned to the user terminal 12-1 at the time of the user contract in the mobile shop is It is registered in the HLR 130 in the carrier network C1 of one carrier. Therefore, the carrier determination unit 122 determines that the telephone number is the first carrier when the telephone number is registered in the HLR 130 of the first carrier.
On the other hand, if the user is an unauthorized user, that is, if the first carrier is changed to the second carrier while maintaining the phone number, the phone number is deleted from the HLR 130 of the first carrier, It is registered and managed in the HLR of the second carrier (not shown in FIG. 3). Accordingly, the carrier determination unit 122 determines that the telephone number is the second carrier when the telephone number is registered in the HLR (not shown) of the second carrier.
Thus, the carrier determination unit 122 determines to which carrier a predetermined telephone number is registered by confirming the HLR of each carrier.

Here, as described above, cashback is performed on the assumption that the carrier network of the contracted carrier is used.
In other words, even a user who maintains a contract with the first carrier does not use the carrier network connection of the carrier network C1 when performing communication using the user terminal 12-1, and does not use Wi-Fi. If you use only a (registered trademark) connection, it should not be subject to cashback.
Therefore, in this embodiment, the carrier network connection of the carrier network C1 is adopted as a condition (concept) of the cash back at least during the cash back process. In other words, a user who does not follow this condition is excluded from cash back as an unauthorized user.
Therefore, the access network determination unit 123 determines whether the communication method used by the user terminal 12-1 during the cash-back process is Wi-Fi (registered trademark) connection or carrier network connection.

Note that some users who have contracted with the first carrier may not know that it is a cashback condition (concept) to connect to the carrier network C1 during the cashback process.
Such a user happens to execute a cash-back process during a Wi-Fi (registered trademark) connection. In such a case, it is harsh to regard the user as an unauthorized user. Therefore, in this embodiment, even if the access network determination unit 123 determines that the Wi-Fi (registered trademark) connection is established, the access network determination unit 123 prompts the user to switch to the carrier network connection without immediately treating the user as an unauthorized user. Yes. In other words, a user who continues Wi-Fi (registered trademark) connection until such prompting is ignored is regarded as an unauthorized user.

As described above, the carrier determination unit 122 and the access network determination unit 123 have been described as performing particularly important determination in order to find an unauthorized user.
The other telephone number determination unit 121, cookie determination unit 124, time determination unit 125, and final determination unit 126 will be described together with the description of FIGS.

When the determination unit 103 determines that the user using the user terminal 12-1 is a valid user, the transfer execution unit 104 performs a process for cashing back the user of the user terminal 12-1. Run.
Here, in order for the determination unit 103 to determine that the user is a valid user, the carrier determined by the carrier determination unit 122 matches the carrier at the time of the user's contract (that is, the first carrier in this example). In addition, it is necessary at least that the communication method determined by the access network determination unit 123 be carrier network connection. Furthermore, in this embodiment, it is determined whether the user is a valid user by using various determination results of a telephone number determination unit 121, a cookie determination unit 124, a time determination unit 125, and a final determination unit 126, which will be described later.

4 and 5 are flowcharts for explaining the flow of cash back processing by the service providing server 11 having the functional configuration of FIG.
FIG. 6 is an arrow chart showing the relationship of exchange between the service providing server 11 and another device when the cashback processing of FIGS. 4 and 5 is executed (when the authorized user receives cashback). is there.

In step S <b> 50 illustrated in FIG. 6, the mobile shop device 13 transmits contractor information such as a user ID to the service providing server 11.
Specifically, for example, in the present embodiment, the contractor information regarding the user candidates to be cashbacked includes a user ID, a mobile phone number (at the time of carrier contract), carrier information, and the like. Such contractor information is transmitted from the mobile shop device 13 to the service providing server 11 by automatic capture using CSV (Comma-Separated Values) up or API (Application Programming Interface).
In addition, the process timing of step S50 is not specifically limited. For example, the process of step S50 may be executed at a predetermined timing (for example, a predetermined time every Sunday) determined based on the elapsed date from the contract time. Further, for example, when the first SMS (Short Message Service) or the like is transmitted in step S4 to be described later and the cashback procedure is not performed by the user, the process of step S50 may be executed again.

In this way, when the contractor information is transmitted from the mobile shop device 13, the reception information acquisition unit 112 of the service providing server 11 acquires the contractor information as reception information.
Then, in step S <b> 1, the extraction unit 102 extracts contractor information (reception information) about a user candidate for cash back.

  In step S2, the carrier determination unit 122 executes a carrier determination process. That is, the carrier determination unit 122 registers the telephone number specified by the contractor information (phone number information) extracted in step S1 in any carrier (in this example, the first carrier or the second carrier). Is checked by checking the HLR of each carrier.

In step S3, the carrier determination unit 122 determines whether or not the carrier determination in step S2 is OK.
Here, “carrier determination is OK” means that the carrier confirmed from the HLR in step S2 matches the carrier specified by the contractor information (carrier information) extracted in step S1.

As described in the above example, the user terminal 12-1 is contracted with the first carrier. That is, the carrier specified by the contractor information (carrier information) extracted in step S1 is the first carrier.
Therefore, if the telephone number specified by the contractor information (phone number information) extracted in step S1 is registered in the HLR (not shown) of the second carrier (HLR 130 of FIG. 3 of the first carrier). The carrier determination is not OK). In such a case, it is determined as NO in Step S3, and the process proceeds to Step S21.

In step S21, the carrier determination unit 122 executes an exclusion process.
Here, the exclusion process refers to a process for preventing an unauthorized user from performing subsequent cash back processing operations.
When the exclusion process in step S21 is executed, the cache back process ends. That is, the case where “carrier determination is not OK” means a case of an unauthorized user who changed carriers (in this example, an unauthorized user who changed from the first carrier to the second carrier). On the other hand, execution of cash back processing is prohibited.

  In other words, by performing the carrier determination in steps S2 and S3, it is possible to prevent unauthorized users who are trying to receive cash back even though they use a carrier different from the carrier at the time of contract at the time of cash back processing. On the other hand, it is possible to prevent the cache back process from being executed.

  In a normal case, the telephone number specified by the contractor information (telephone number information) of the user terminal 12-1 extracted in step S1 is registered in the HLR 130 of FIG. 3 of the first carrier. In this case, since “carrier determination is OK”, it is determined as YES in Step S3, and the process proceeds to Step S4.

In step S <b> 4, the transmission information generation unit 111 generates first SMS or the like as transmission information, and transmits it to the user terminal 12-1 via the communication unit 29.
Here, “first SMS etc.” is SMS etc. given “first” in order to distinguish it from second SMS etc. transmitted in step S10 described later. The reason for “etc.” is that other than SMS, such as e-mail, can be adopted as will be described later. However, in the following description, it is assumed that SMS is transmitted as the first SMS or the like. That is, in the following description, it is assumed that the SMS is transmitted as the first SMS or the like by the carrier network C1 of the first carrier.
Although not shown in the figure, the first SMS or the like includes a display notifying that the notification is related to the cashback procedure processing and link information of the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the first web page. The first web page will be described later.

  In step S40 shown in FIG. 6, the user terminal 12-1 receives the first SMS and the like.

Meanwhile, in step S5, the reception information acquisition unit 112 of the service providing server 11 determines whether or not the first web page has been accessed from the user terminal 12-1.
When there is no access to the first web page from the user terminal 12-1, it is determined as NO in Step S5, and the process returns to Step S5. That is, the determination process in step S5 is repeated until there is an access from the user terminal 12-1, and the cache back process on the service providing server 11 side is in a standby state.
When the user who viewed the first SMS or the like performs a click operation or the like on the “link information of the URL of the first web page” displayed on the user terminal 12-1, in step S41 shown in FIG. 6, the user terminal 12- 1 accesses the first web page.
In this case, it is determined as YES in Step S5, and the process proceeds to Step S6.

In step S <b> 6, the transmission information generating unit 111 of the service providing server 11 guides an IVR (Interactive Voice Response) telephone number and embeds a cookie in the user terminal 12-1.
In other words, the first web page includes, for example, a message “Please dial from the link below” and a “telephone number authentication” button arranged below it as an IVR phone number guide, although not shown. Yes.
The first web page is presented to the user via a predetermined browser of the user terminal 12-1. Further, when the user terminal 12-1 accesses the first web page in this way, a cookie is embedded in the user terminal 12-1.

In step S7, the reception information acquisition unit 112 determines whether or not there is a call from the user.
When there is no telephone call from the user terminal 12-1, it is determined as NO in Step S7, and the process returns to Step S7. That is, the determination process in step S7 is repeated until a call is received from the user terminal 12-1, and the cash back process on the service providing server 11 side is in a standby state.

In a normal case, the user presses a “telephone number authentication” button after visually recognizing the message on the first web page. Then, in step S42 shown in FIG. 6, the user terminal 12-1 makes a call to the IVR telephone number.
In this case, it is determined as YES in Step S7, and the process proceeds to Step S8.

In step S8, the telephone number determination unit 121 executes a telephone number determination process. That is, the telephone number determination unit 121 determines whether the telephone number received in step S7 matches the telephone number specified by the contractor information (phone number information) extracted in step S1.
In other words, this determination confirms that the call is from the user who is the target of cash back. Hereinafter, the case where the telephone number match can be confirmed by this determination will be referred to as “telephone number determination is OK”.

  In step S9, the telephone number determination unit 121 determines whether or not the telephone number determination in step S8 is OK.

  If the telephone number of the user terminal 12-1 received by telephone in step S7 does not match the telephone number specified by the contractor information (phone number information) extracted in step S1, “telephone number determination is OK”. It will not be. In such a case, it is determined as NO in step S9, and the process proceeds to step S22.

In step S22, the telephone number determination unit 121 executes a re-calling request process for the user terminal 12-1.
Here, the re-calling request processing is the transmission information generating unit 111 generating transmission information for requesting the user terminal 12-1 to perform telephone transmission again to the IVR telephone number guided in step S6. It means a series of processes until transmission to the user terminal 12-1 via the communication unit 29.
When the recall request process in step S22 is completed, the process returns to step S7, and the subsequent processes are repeated.
That is, when there is a re-calling from the user terminal 12-1, it is determined as YES in Step S7, and the telephone number determination process is executed again in Step S8.
In the example of FIG. 4, for convenience of explanation, the loop processing of steps S7 to S9 is repeated until “phone number determination is OK”, but in reality, when the loop processing is repeated a predetermined number of times, It is determined that the user of the user terminal 12-1 contracted with one carrier is not the user himself / herself, and the cashback process is forcibly terminated.

Thus, by performing the telephone number determination of steps S8 and S9, it is confirmed whether or not the user of the user terminal 12-1 contracted with the first carrier.
That is, if the telephone number of the user terminal 12-1 received by telephone in step S7 matches the telephone number specified by the contractor information (phone number information) extracted in step S1, the identity can be confirmed. As a result, “telephone number determination is OK”. In such a case, it is determined as YES in Step S9, and the process proceeds to Step S10.

In step S <b> 10, the transmission information generation unit 111 generates the second SMS as transmission information and transmits it to the user terminal 12-1 via the communication unit 29.
Here, the second SMS is an SMS given “second” in order to distinguish it from the first SMS or the like transmitted in step S4 described above. Here, since only the SMS transmitted in the carrier network of the contracted carrier (the carrier network C1 of the first carrier in this example) is used, that is, no e-mail is used, unlike the first SMS, etc. Is not.
Although not shown, the second SMS includes a display notifying that the notification is related to the cashback procedure process, and link information of the URL of the second web page. The second web page will be described later.

  In step S43 shown in FIG. 6, the user terminal 12-1 receives the second SMS.

During this time, in step S11, the reception information acquisition unit 112 of the service providing server 11 determines whether or not the second web page has been accessed from the user terminal 12-1.
When there is no access to the second web page from the user terminal 12-1, it is determined as NO in Step S11, and the process proceeds to Step S12.

In step S12, the time determination unit 125 executes time determination processing. That is, the time determination unit 125 determines whether the elapsed time from the transmission timing of the second SMS to the user terminal 12-1 (step S10 or S24) is within a predetermined time (for example, 1 minute).
That is, in this determination, it is confirmed that the access to the second web page from the user terminal 12-1 is within a predetermined time (for example, 1 minute). In the case where it is determined that the time is within the predetermined time in this determination, the possibility that the access to the second web page from the user terminal 12-1 is within the predetermined time (for example, 1 minute) remains. In the following, it is referred to as “time determination is OK”.

In step S13, the time determination unit 125 determines whether or not the time determination in step S12 is OK.
If the elapsed time since the transmission of the second SMS is within a predetermined time (for example, 1 minute), “time determination is OK” is determined as YES in step S13, and the process returns to step S11.
That is, the loop processing of steps S11 to S13 is repeated until the user terminal 12-1 accesses the second web page.
If this loop process is repeated many times and the elapsed time since the second SMS is transmitted exceeds a predetermined time (for example, 1 minute), “time determination is not OK”. In such a case, it is determined as NO in step S13, and the process proceeds to step S23.

In step S <b> 23, the time determination unit 125 executes reconnection request processing for the user terminal 12-1.
Here, the reconnection request processing means that the transmission information generation unit 111 generates transmission information for requesting the user terminal 12-1 to make a telephone call to the IVR telephone number again, and the communication information is sent via the communication unit 29. The process which transmits to the user terminal 12-1.
Accordingly, when the reconnection request process is executed in step S23, the process returns to step S7, and the subsequent processes are repeated.
That is, for example, an unauthorized user transfers URL information from the user terminal 12-1 that has received the second SMS to another user terminal 12 to access the second web page, or the user terminal 12- that has received the second SMS. When the SIM card is removed from 1 and replaced with another user terminal 12 to access the second web page, a predetermined time (for example, 1 minute) or more is required. Time determinations in steps S12 and S13 are performed to prevent such an unauthorized user from executing the cashback process.

  If it is a legitimate user, the second web page is accessed by operating the user terminal 12-1 within a predetermined time (within 1 minute) after the second SMS is transmitted to the user terminal 12-1. In this case, it is determined as YES in step S11 while maintaining the state of “time determination is OK” (a state where it is determined to be YES in step S13), and the process proceeds to step S14.

In step S14, the access network determination unit 123 performs an access network determination process. That is, the access network determination unit 123 determines whether the communication method when accessing the second web page from the user terminal 12-1 is based on carrier network connection or Wi-Fi (registered trademark) connection. To do.
Here, as described above, the condition (concept) of the cashback is to perform communication using the carrier network of the contracted carrier at least during the cashback process.
Therefore, in this determination, when the communication method when accessing the second web page from the user terminal 12-1 is the carrier network connection of the contracted carrier (in this example, the connection to the carrier network C1 of the first carrier). , “Access network determination is OK”.

In step S15, the access network determination unit 123 determines whether or not the access network determination in step S14 is OK.
Therefore, if a Wi-Fi (registered trademark) connection is used when accessing the second web page from the user terminal 12-1, "access network determination is not OK". In such a case, it is determined as NO in Step S15, and the process proceeds to Step S24.

In step S24, the access network determination unit 123 executes a process for requesting reconnection to the user terminal 12-1.
Here, the reconnection request processing refers to transmission information for requesting to turn off the Wi-Fi (registered trademark) connection and switch to the carrier network connection when accessing the second web page from the user terminal 12-1. The transmission information generation unit 111 generates and transmits to the user terminal 12-1 via the communication unit 29.
If there is a re-access from the user terminal 12-1, it is determined as YES in step S11, and an access network determination process is executed again in step S14.
As described above, even a legitimate user may happen to use a Wi-Fi (registered trademark) connection during the cashback process. Such a legitimate user should switch to carrier network connection. In this case, “access network determination is OK”, and it is determined as YES in step S15.
On the other hand, in the case of an unauthorized user who continues to use the Wi-Fi (registered trademark) connection, it is determined as NO in step S15. Therefore, although not shown in FIG. 5, if the Wi-Fi (registered trademark) connection is continuously used even if the reconnection request in step S24 is made a predetermined number of times or more, it is assumed that the user is an unauthorized user and the cash back process is performed. Force termination.
That is, by performing the access network determination in steps S14 and S15, it is possible to provide cash back to an unauthorized user who communicates only with Wi-Fi (registered trademark) connection without using any carrier network connection of the contracted carrier. It is possible to prevent the processing from being executed.

  As described above, if the user is a valid user, the carrier network connection is used and “access network determination is OK”, so that it is determined YES in step S15, and the process proceeds to step S16.

  In step S16, the cookie determination unit 124 executes a cookie determination process. That is, the cookie determination unit 124 determines whether or not cookie is embedded in the user terminal 12 (which may be other than the user terminal 12-1) that has accessed the second web page.

In step S17, the cookie determination unit 124 determines whether or not the cookie determination in step S16 is OK.
Here, “Cookie determination is OK” means that Cookie is embedded in the user terminal 12 accessing the second web page, that is, the user terminal 12 accessing the second web page is the user terminal embedded with Cookie. It means 12-1.

Therefore, if the cookie is not embedded in the user terminal 12 that has accessed the second web page, the “cookie determination is not OK”. In such a case, it is determined as NO in step S17, and the process proceeds to step S25.
In step S <b> 25, the cookie determination unit 124 executes reconnection request processing for the user terminal 12-1.
Here, the reconnection request processing means that the transmission information generation unit 111 generates transmission information for requesting the user terminal 12-1 to access the first web page again, and the user is sent via the communication unit 29. This refers to processing to be transmitted to the terminal 12-1.
Therefore, when the reconnection request process is executed in step S25, the process returns to step S5, and the subsequent processes are repeated.
That is, for example, an unauthorized user transfers URL information from the user terminal 12-1 that has received the second SMS to another user terminal 12 to access the second web page, or the user terminal 12- that has received the second SMS. When the SIM card is removed from 1 and replaced with another user terminal 12 to access the second web page, the cookie is not embedded in the other user terminal 12 that has accessed the second web page. Cookie determinations in steps S16 and S17 are performed to prevent such an unauthorized user from executing the cashback process.

  If it is a legitimate user, the user accesses the first web, operates the user terminal 12-1 in which the cookie is embedded, and accesses the second web page. In this case, since “Cookie determination is OK”, it is determined as YES in Step S17, and the process proceeds to Step S18.

In step S18, the final determination unit 126 executes purchase time determination / phone number determination processing. That is, the final determination unit 126 confirms that the telephone number of the user terminal 12-1 received by telephone in step S7 matches the telephone number specified by the telephone number information in the contractor information extracted in step S1. Then, the user is confirmed again. Furthermore, the final determination unit 126 also confirms that the purchase time of the user terminal 12-1 is a cashback target period.
When such confirmation is OK, it is referred to as “purchase time determination / phone number determination is OK”.

In step S19, the final determination unit 126 determines whether the purchase time determination / phone number determination in step S18 is OK.
Therefore, the telephone number of the user terminal 12-1 received by telephone in step S7 does not match the telephone number specified by the contractor information (phone number information) extracted in step S1, or the user terminal 12 When the purchase time of −1 is not the target period, “purchase time determination / phone number determination is not OK” does not occur. In such a case, it is determined as NO in step S19, and the process proceeds to step S26.
In step S26, the final determination unit 126 executes mobile shop inquiry display processing such as requesting the user terminal 12-1 to re-access.
After the mobile shop inquiry display process is executed, the cash-back process ends.

On the other hand, in the case of a legitimate user, “purchase time determination / phone number determination is OK”, YES is determined in step S19, and the process proceeds to step S20.
In step S20, the transfer execution unit 104 executes a transfer execution process.
The transfer execution process is not particularly limited as long as it is a process in which cash back (a predetermined amount of money is transferred) to a legitimate user of the user terminal 12-1. For example, in the present embodiment, the user terminal 12-1 enables the user to select a cashback method such as registration of bank account information or receipt at a convenience store, etc. The processing for executing (back) is adopted as the transfer execution processing.
That is, in the transfer execution process of step S45 shown in FIG. 6, a series of processes from accepting the above-described cash back method selection operation and accepting net remittance (cash back) by that method is executed.
When the transfer execution process is executed, the cash-back process ends.

  Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and modifications, improvements, and the like within the scope that can achieve the object of the present invention are included in the present invention. It is.

For example, in the above description, the SMS is transmitted as the first SMS or the like in step S4. However, as described above, for example, an e-mail other than the SMS may be transmitted.
If the telephone number of the user terminal 12-1 is unknown when the e-mail is transmitted, carrier determination may be performed when the user terminal 12-1 in step S42 shown in FIG.
In other words, the carrier determination timing is not particularly limited. For example, the carrier determination may be performed after transmitting the first SMS or the like to the user terminal 12-1.

  Also, the timing of the access network determination process is not particularly limited. Furthermore, ideally, it should be possible to confirm that the carrier network is always connected at least during the cash back process. Therefore, the number of times of access network determination processing is not particularly limited to once, and may be multiple times. For example, the access network determination process may be performed a plurality of times at a timing at which switching from the carrier network connection to the Wi-Fi (registered trademark) connection is possible. Specifically, for example, when the user terminal 12-1 accesses the first web page in step S5, the access network determination may be performed.

Moreover, in the above-mentioned embodiment, although the user terminal 12 is comprised as a smart phone, it is not limited to this in particular.
