Description

The present invention relates to a community maintenance and activation system and an event management server, and in particular, enables communication between participants and between the organizer and participants even after the event ends through photographs taken during the event such as a party. Regarding systems that maintain and invigorate communities.

In recent years, various events such as parties may be held as part of a company's marketing strategy and branding measures. During such an event, participants can take pictures with their own digital cameras or smartphones, but sometimes the pictures are taken by professional photographers prepared by the event organizer. This is to provide participants with snapshots taken by professional photographers with advanced photography technology and versatile expressiveness to commemorate their participation in the event, and to let participants enjoy the extraordinary experience of becoming a photographic model. ..

In addition, the following patent documents disclose a system that provides images taken at an event.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2016-66998 (Patent No. 5939655)

By the way, photos taken by professional photographers during the event have traditionally been stored in recording media and mailed individually at a later date, or the cameramen take them back to the office or office to store the data on the server and have the participants download it. Mostly provided by the method, participants had the inconvenience of not being able to see or use the photos until a few days later.

In addition, conventional events tend to be ad hoc. For event participants, even if the participants actively communicate with each other on the day of the event, the connection tends to be weakened when the event ends. On the other hand, unless the organizer can obtain personal information such as the participant's e-mail address, address, and name, each participant and the community of participants formed during the event will be contacted at a later date. Difficult to access.

Therefore, even though we prepared a professional photographer and held the event, we only handed the photos taken to each participant, and the intention of holding the event (for example, the promotion effect of products and services when the event is held by a company) Even if it is possible to convey (formation of customer loyalty, etc.) on the day of the event, there is a lack of continuity and development potential.

On the other hand, the invention described in Patent Document 1 relates to a system that takes a commemorative photo or a commemorative video at an event such as a wedding party and provides it to an invited guest (participant), and manages the image taken at the event. Along with uploading to, give the participant a sheet with a two-dimensional code including the ID printed on it, and allow the participant to read the two-dimensional code on their mobile terminal so that the image can be downloaded from the management server to the mobile terminal. There is.

However, the inventions described in this document, even if the speed of providing photos to the participants could be realized, still only provided the participants with the photos and videos taken during the event, and the community formed by the event. Is not something that can be maintained and used sustainably even after the event ends.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to promptly provide participants with photographs taken during the event, and to maintain and activate a community of participants even after the event is over.

In order to solve the above problems and achieve the object, the community maintenance activation system according to the present invention includes a digital camera for photographing the participants of the event, a computer capable of wireless communication with the digital camera, and the computer and the network. It is provided with a management server capable of communicating via the above, and a printer that prints a receipt handed to the participant who is the subject in order for the participant who is the subject to receive the image taken by the digital camera.

Further, when the participant who is the subject is referred to as a "shooting participant" and the participant other than the shooting participant is referred to as a "general participant", the above management server is one image obtained by one shooting of the subject. A shooting ID issuing unit that issues a shooting ID that identifies the above images as a group of images, and a shooting participant who displays the images included in the image group and downloads these images corresponding to the shooting ID. The shooting member page distribution section that distributes the shooting member page, and the event page that distributes the event page that allows general participants to view the images taken by the digital camera and write comments on these images. A distribution unit, a page storage unit that stores the image group in association with a shooting ID and stores information necessary for configuring a shooting member page and an event page, and a page that stores, reads, and updates information in the page storage unit. It is equipped with a management unit, a login reception unit that accepts access to the shooting member page and the event page, and a network communication control unit that enables communication via the network.

Further, the computer enables communication via a network with a shooting ID storage unit that stores a shooting ID issued by a shooting ID issuing unit, a wireless communication control unit that enables wireless communication with the digital camera, and a network. It has a network communication control unit, a photographing management unit that transfers an image transmitted from the digital camera to a management server, and a receipt issuing unit that issues the receipt.

Then, before shooting the subject, the page management unit causes the shooting ID issuing unit to issue a shooting ID and transmits the shooting ID to the computer via the network, and the shooting management department shoots the shooting ID transmitted from the page management unit. Stored in the ID storage unit. In this way, the shooting ID is issued by the management server, and the computer receives the shooting ID to complete the preparation for shooting. However, in order to notify the cameraman that the preparation is completed, the shooting management unit further It is desirable to display on the display of the computer that the shooting ID has been received and to send a notification to the digital camera via the wireless communication control unit that the shooting preparation is completed (the shooting ID has been issued).

On the other hand, after shooting the subject, the shooting management unit receives the shot image from the digital camera, and the page management unit passes the shot image together with the shooting ID stored in the shooting ID storage unit as the image group through the network. Is sent to the receipt issuing unit to issue a receipt containing information on the shooting ID, and the receipt is output from the printer. Furthermore, the page management unit stores the image group received from the shooting management unit in the page storage unit in association with the shooting ID received together with the image group, and is written through the event page (from the participant who wrote the comment). The comment (received by the event page distribution unit) is stored in the page storage unit in association with the image to be written.

The login reception unit permits access to the shooting member page related to the shooting ID when the shooting ID is received via the network, and the event page when the authentication information unique to the event is received via the network. Allow access to. Then, on condition that the login reception department permits, the shooting member page distribution department distributes the shooting member page, and the event page distribution department distributes the event page. The above-mentioned "authentication information unique to an event" is, for example, an event ID and a password, which are IDs (Identification / identifier) unique to the event, and may be determined in advance prior to the event.

In the system of the present invention, for example, a professional photographer prepared by an event organizer uses a digital camera to take a picture of a participant in the event venue, and the obtained image is used as a computer and a network provided in the event venue. It is uploaded to the management server via the management server and provided to the participants (referred to as "shooting participants" or "shooting groups") who are the subjects through the Web page (shooting member page) distributed by the management server. Shooting participants can immediately obtain images by accessing and downloading the shooting member page from, for example, a mobile terminal (for example, a smartphone) possessed during the event.

In addition, the management server distributes a Web page (event page) so that general participants other than the shooting participants can browse the images taken as described above and write comments (messages) on each image. .. Shooting participants can also access and write on the event page, but general participants access the event page of their mobile terminal (for example, smartphone), and are shot and posted by the above digital camera during the event. You can browse the created image and write a comment.

In addition, in order to limit the people who can view and write to the event page to only the participants of the event, as mentioned above, when accessing the event page, the authentication information (for example, event ID and password) unique to the event is used. The login reception desk will request the input, but this authentication information should be notified to the event participants together with the URL of the event page, for example, by posting it at the event venue or printing it on the pamphlet handed at the time of admission. Just do it.

The event page is distributed by the management server not only during the event but also after the event ends (same for the shooting member page). Therefore, participants can view and write images even after the event is over, and according to this system, it is easy for participants to continue interacting with each other even after the event is over. In addition, the shooting group is not limited to those who participated in the event together, and a shooting group may be formed by people who met during the event. Such communities often disappear spontaneously after the event, but since we can provide a place where we can write comments and interact with each other even after the event, those who shared the rare experience of taking a commemorative photo with a professional photographer. It will be easier to maintain the community formed by.

Also, it will be useful for the event organizer at a later date, for example, to post information on new events on the event page and shooting member page, information on new products and services, image of their products and services, and improvement of customer loyalty. The event is held by posting an image or writing a comment, or by having an employee of the company participate in the event to form many shooting groups on the day of the event and then the employee actively writes. It will be possible to maintain the intended intention even after the end and use the event in a progressive manner.

Furthermore, in order to realize the above-mentioned exchanges, it is not necessary to intervene personal information such as real name, address, and e-mail address, so participants can easily participate and enjoy the event without any psychological burden. It can be done, and there is an advantage that it is easy for the organizer to gather participants.

In the above system according to the present invention, it is possible to further adopt each of the following modes (1) to (9), or a combination of two or more of these modes.

(1) The page storage unit stores a plurality of image groups, and the event page includes a table of contents page in which representative images selected from each of the plurality of image groups are arranged side by side and reduced (thumbnail display).

This is so that you can see at a glance what kind of shooting group was formed during the event. The representative image may be selected by mechanically selecting the first (first shot) image of the shooting group. For example, the management server is provided with a face recognition function and the most faces are captured. You may also use a method such as selecting an image that is displayed. The number of representative images is typically one for each shooting group, but two or more reduced images may be displayed as representative images.

(2) The event page is provided with a shooting group page for reducing and displaying the images included in each of the image groups as the lower page of the above table of contents page, and the event page distribution unit is responsible for each image displayed on the shooting group page. It is possible to write a comment on the image, and the written comment is displayed around the image to be written.

(3) The management server further includes an SNS posting unit that sends the image stored in the page storage unit to the SNS server in order to post the image to the SNS, and the shooting member page distribution unit sends the image stored in the page storage unit to the SNS in the shooting member page. Display the SNS post button that accepts posts. This is to enable quick and easy posting of captured images to SNS while participating in an event.

(4) The computer further includes a two-dimensional code generation unit that generates a two-dimensional code that can be read by a mobile terminal, and the receipt issuing unit displays the two-dimensional code generated by the two-dimensional code generation unit. A receipt is issued, and the two-dimensional code contains information on the URL and shooting ID of the shooting member page.

Make it possible to access the shooting member page and obtain the shot image by simply reading the two-dimensional code (for example, QR code (registered trademark)) printed on the receipt with the mobile terminal you have. Because.

(5) The management server further includes an entry reception unit that accepts the input of a name representing the subject prior to shooting with the digital camera. In this case, the shooting ID issuing unit issues the shooting ID, transmits the issued shooting ID to the computer, and stores the issued shooting ID and the name in the page storage unit in association with each other. On the other hand, after shooting the subject, the page management unit associates the image group and the shooting ID received from the shooting management unit with the same shooting ID as the received shooting ID and stores the name in the page storage unit. Store in the page storage in association with.

According to such an aspect, when there is a shooting participant (shooting group) who has been photographed multiple times during the event, the image of the shooting participant can be searched by the above name, or all of the shooting participants can be searched. It is possible to collect and organize images. The above "name" may be a nickname as long as it can identify the shooting participant, but it may be a real name or another number or symbol.

(6) The management server further includes an image processing unit that processes each image included in the image group received from the shooting management unit, and the page management unit associates the image processed by the image processing unit with the shooting ID. Store in the page storage.

The "processing" includes, for example, resizing, trimming, and insertion of a logo (for example, an event name or a logo of the host company). How to process the image may be set in advance in the image processing section, and according to such an aspect, the image taken at the event venue and uploaded to the management server is automatically (preset). Since it will be processed (according to) and saved in the page storage section, the photographer and staff (assistant) at the event venue can concentrate on shooting without imposing a burden on the shooting side.

(7) The printer can wirelessly communicate with the computer, and the computer communicates with the printer via the wireless communication control unit to output the receipt.

The digital camera that shoots can wirelessly communicate with the computer in the venue, but the printer that prints the receipt can also wirelessly communicate with the computer. According to the above aspect, the mobility and convenience of the system are increased. Can be made to. That is, not only can the photographer be photographed only in a predetermined (fixed) booth, but the photographer and the photographer can freely move around the venue with a computer (for example, a tablet terminal) and a printer (for example, a portable printer). Since it is possible, it is possible to get in between the participants and actively accept the shooting, immediately print out the receipt and hand it over, and accept the next shooting.

(8) The page storage unit stores a group of images taken at a plurality of events, and the event page browses the images included in the group of images taken at the plurality of events and writes a comment about the image. Is possible, and the login reception unit permits access to the event page when the authentication information unique to any one of the plurality of events is received.

(9) In the above aspect (8), the page management unit sends a comment written through the event page to the login reception unit when the participant who made the writing accesses the event page (for example, an event). A comment search unit that is stored in the page storage unit in association with the ID), and the management server extracts from the page storage unit a comment in which the event corresponding to the authentication information and the event related to the image to be written are different. Further prepare.

In the above-mentioned aspects (8) to (9), a plurality of events are managed by the management server, and there is an advantage that it is possible to provide a new encounter that connects people who have different hobbies and tastes and usually have no contact with each other. Specifically, it is as follows.

For example, a dating agency has traditionally held various parties as events to provide opportunities for encounters. At such a party, it is possible to have a lively conversation between participants by planning a gathering of people with common hobbies and tastes, but at the same time, the conversation is limited to the hobbies and the relationship does not progress any further, and finally There was a side that did not lead to the purpose of marriage. On the other hand, when we held a joint party where people with completely different hobbies (for example, people with ikebana hobbies and people with surfing hobbies) gathered, there were cases where dating progressed unexpectedly. ..

Therefore, in the above aspects (8) to (9), by enabling the viewing and writing of images among the participants of a plurality of events, a "place" for interaction between the participants of different types of events is provided. Since it is highly likely that the writing was done, for example, when holding the above joint party newly, pay attention to writing to different event images, and the writer (the person who wrote the comment) The event in which the comment was written (this can be known from the authentication information (for example, event ID) used when the writer logged in to the event page) does not match the event in the image in which the comment was written. The success of the party by picking up the comments by the comment search section and planning the joint party of the most combination of these two events (the event of the writer's participation and the event of the image to be written). You can increase the probability.

Further, the event management server according to the present invention has the same characteristics as the management server of the community maintenance activation system according to the present invention.

Specifically, the event management server of the present invention captures an image of a participant taken by a digital camera during an event via a computer and a network that are provided at the venue of the event and can communicate with the digital camera. An event management server that enables a shooting participant who is a participant who is the subject of the image to download an image and a general participant who is a participant other than the shooting participant to write a comment on the image. Is.

Further, the event management server has a shooting ID issuing unit that issues a shooting ID that identifies one or more images obtained by one shooting of the subject as a group of images, and an image included in the image group. The shooting member page distribution unit that displays the shooting member page and distributes the shooting member page so that the shooting participant corresponding to the shooting ID can download the image, and the general participant browses the image shot by the digital camera. The event page distribution unit that distributes the event page that enables comments to be written about the image, the image group is stored in association with the shooting ID, and the information necessary for the composition of the shooting member page and the event page is stored. A network that enables communication via a network, a page storage unit, a page management unit that stores, reads, and updates information in the page storage unit, a login reception unit that accepts access to the shooting member page and the event page, and a network that enables communication via the network. It is equipped with a communication control unit.

Then, the page management unit causes the shooting ID issuing unit to issue a shooting ID before shooting the subject, and transmits the shooting ID to the computer via the network, and the computer receives the shooting ID from the digital camera after shooting the subject. The image group transmitted through the network together with the shooting ID is stored in the page storage unit in association with the shooting ID received together with the shooting ID, and the comment written through the event page is the target of the writing. Stored in the page storage in association with the image. In addition, the login reception unit permits access to the shooting member page related to the shooting ID when the shooting ID is received via the network, and provides event-specific authentication information (for example, event ID and password) via the network. Allow access to the event page when received. Further, the shooting member page distribution department distributes the shooting member page, and the event page distribution department distributes the event page, provided that the login reception department permits it.

In the community maintenance activation system, the embodiments (1) to (9) have been described as more specific embodiments, but the above-mentioned embodiment (1) also in the event management server according to the present invention as in the system. )-(3), (5)-(6) and (8)-(9), or a combination of two or more of these embodiments can be further adopted.

The image number is a serial number assigned to a plurality of images obtained in one shooting. For example, the nickname "Hanako" that received the first shooting under the shooting ID "2017hwp001". Participants in the shooting show that they took two pictures, "P01" and "P02". Similarly, the shooting participants with the nickname "Cherry's" who received the second shooting under the shooting ID "2017hwp002" have been asked to take five photos "P01" to "P05". The "comment (writing)" shown in the figure is saved in association with each image when a comment is written on the event page, which will be described later.

[Shooting member page]
By accessing the shooting member page (shooting member site), shooting participants can download their own images taken during the event and post the images to SNS.

Specifically, the photographing participant who received the receipt 81 reads the QR code 82 posted on the receipt 81 with the mobile terminal 61 in order to download the image. When the QR code reading unit 62 of the mobile terminal 61 reads the QR code 82, the browser 63 accesses the management server 11 via the Internet 51 via the communication control unit 66 and transmits the shooting ID.

In the management server 11, the login reception unit 17 receives the shooting ID, and searches whether the received shooting ID is stored in the page storage unit 16 (step S109). If the shooting ID is stored in the page storage unit 16, the login reception unit 17 permits login, and the shooting ID is sent to the shooting member page distribution unit together with the distribution destination information (address of the mobile terminal 61) of the shooting member page. Provided to 18. On the other hand, if the information transmitted from the mobile terminal 61 does not include the shooting ID stored in the page storage unit 16, the login reception unit 17 refuses to log in.

The shooting member page distribution unit 18 that has received the shooting ID and distribution destination information from the login reception unit 17 has an image associated with the shooting ID and stored in the page storage unit 16 and information necessary for configuring the shooting member page. Is requested from the page management unit 14. In response to this request, the page management unit 14 reads this information from the page storage unit 16 and provides it to the shooting member page distribution unit 18. The shooting member page distribution unit 18 transmits the information necessary for configuring the shooting member page to the mobile terminal 61 as the distribution destination via the Internet 51. The browser 63 of the mobile terminal 61 that has received the information displays the shooting member page on the display (not shown) of the mobile terminal 61.

5 to 8 show a shooting member page displayed on the display of the mobile terminal 61, FIG. 5 is a shooting group page displayed as a top page, and FIG. 6 is the same shooting group page as FIG. 5, but later. A state in which a comment is written through the comment input page (FIG. 8) described, FIG. 7 is a photographed image page which is a lower layer page of the photography group page (FIGS. 5 to 6), and FIG. 8 is a photographed image page (FIG. 8). This is a comment input page that is a lower page of 7).

As shown in FIG. 5, on the shooting group page which is the top page, all the images P1 to P7 shot under the shooting ID (associated with the shooting ID) are displayed as thumbnails. Then, when any one of the displayed thumbnails P1 to P7 is tapped (selected), the page moves to the captured image page (FIG. 7) of the tapped image. In the illustrated example, image P6 was selected.

As shown in FIG. 7, on the captured image page, the "save" button B1 for instructing the saving of the image P6, the "SNS posting" buttons B2 and B3 for instructing the posting of the image to the SNS, and the movement to the top page are performed.

In this example, the "SNS posting" buttons B2 and B3 display two types of posting buttons to the SNS so that the posting destination can be selected.

When the "save" button B1 is pressed on the captured image page, the browser 63 of the mobile terminal 61 stores the image P6 in the image storage unit 65 via the image management unit 64. As a result, the captured image P6 can be saved in the mobile terminal 61. In addition to the function of saving images one by one in this way, a batch download button (not shown) that allows all images P1 to P7 displayed on the shooting group page (Fig. 5) to be downloaded at once is provided. For example, it may be displayed on the shooting group page. In this case, when the batch download button is selected, the browser 63 sends a batch download request for images to the management server 11 (shooting member distribution section 18), and the shooting member page distribution section 18 sends the page management section 14. The image data of the images P1 to P7 are read from the page storage unit 16 via the page storage unit 16 and transmitted to the mobile terminal 61.

Further, when the "SNS posting" button B2 or B3 is pressed, the browser 63 reads the SNS account information (the SNS account selected by tapping the SNS posting buttons B2 and B3) stored in the mobile terminal 61, and reads the SNS account information. A posting request including the read SNS account information, information for identifying an image (shooting ID and image number), and information for specifying a posting destination (posting destination identification information) is transmitted to the management server 11 via the Internet 51. .. The image data of each of the images P1 to P7 displayed on the shooting member page (the same applies to the shooting member pages (FIGS. 5 to 8 / the same applies to the event page described later) includes information on the shooting ID and the image number.

Upon receiving the posting request, the management server 11 receives the above information included in the posting request by the shooting member distribution unit 18, and receives the image data of the image (shooting ID and image number) from the page storage unit 16 through the page management unit 14. The read and read image data is provided to the SNS posting unit 20 together with the SNS account information and the posting destination identification information included in the posting request. In response to this, the SNS posting unit 20 transmits the image data and the SNS account information to the SNS server 71 specified by the posting destination identification information via the Internet 51. In the SNS server 71, the user page management unit 72 rewrites the user page stored in the user page storage unit 73 so that the image is posted on the user page of the account based on the received account information, and the posting is completed. ..

Further, when the displayed image P6 is tapped on the captured image page (FIG. 7), the page moves to the comment input page shown in FIG. On this page, along with the image P6, a box T in which a comment (text) can be input, a "comment" button B6 instructing the transmission of the comment, and a "back" button B5 for returning to the captured image page are displayed. .. When a comment is entered in the text input box T and the "comment" button B6 is pressed, the browser 63 uses the entered comment as information (shooting ID and image number) for identifying the image P6 that is the target of the comment. At the same time, the information is transmitted to the management server 11 via the Internet 51.

Then, on the management server 11, the shooting member page distribution unit 18 passes through the page management unit 14 so that the transmitted comment is displayed under the thumbnail P6 of the image on the shooting group page (FIGS. 5 and 6). The information about the shooting group page (comment) stored in the page storage unit 16 is rewritten (comment is added), and the shooting group page (FIGS. 5 and 6) is updated. The updated shooting group page (information necessary for displaying the page) is transmitted to the mobile terminal 61 via the Internet 51 by the shooting member page distribution unit 18. In response to this, the browser 63 displays the updated shooting group page (FIG. 6) on the display.

The comments are displayed in order from top to bottom in the order of posting. In the example shown in FIG. 6, comments C1 to C4 are written and displayed in order for image P1, and comments C5 to C7 for image P4. Are written and displayed in order.

Access the management server 11 via 51. As for the access to the event page, the QR code (QR code for the event page) may be used in the same manner as the access to the entry and the shooting member page.

When the management server 11 receives the connection by the URL for the event page, the login reception unit 17 requests the mobile terminal 61 to input the event ID and the password. When the event ID and password are transmitted from the mobile terminal 61, the login reception unit 17 determines whether the ID and password match the event ID and password stored in advance in the page storage unit 16 (step S110). If both the event ID and the password match, login is permitted, and the event page distribution destination information (address of the mobile terminal 61 related to the login) is provided to the event page distribution unit 19. On the other hand, if either or both of the ID and password do not match, login is refused.

When login is permitted by the login reception unit 17, the event page distribution unit 19 reads the information necessary for displaying the event page from the page storage unit 16 via the page management unit 14, and becomes the distribution destination via the Internet 51. It is transmitted to the mobile terminal 61. Upon receiving the information, the browser 63 displays an event page on the display (not shown) of the mobile terminal 61.

FIG. 9 shows the top page of the event page displayed on the display of the mobile terminal 61, and is a table of contents page in which all the shooting groups formed during the event are displayed side by side as thumbnails G1 to G12.

A group page (similar to FIGS. 5 to 6) is displayed. If you tap any of the thumbnails P1 to P7 on this shooting group page, a comment input page (similar to FIG. 8) where you can input a comment about the image is displayed. General participants can write comments on this comment input page in the same way as the shooting participants. Note that unlike the shooting member page, the event page does not have a shooting image page (FIG. 7), and images cannot be saved or posted to SNS.

When a comment is written from the comment input page (FIG. 8), the event page distribution unit 19 performs the same processing as the shooting member page distribution unit 18. That is, the shooting group page (FIGS. 5 and 6) is updated so that a new comment is added and displayed, and the information necessary for displaying the updated shooting group page is transmitted to the mobile terminal 61. The browser 63 of the mobile terminal 61 displays the updated shooting group page on the display.
