The present invention relates to an information processing device, an information processing system, an information processing method, and a program.

For example, as shown in Patent Document 1, a conventional information processing system has been disclosed that provides a quiz including an advertising element and also provides an event in which a coupon code is given to a user if the user answers the quiz correctly in response to the user's instructions.

JP 2013-101575 A

However, in this type of information processing system, a quiz containing advertising elements was provided once as a single event, and thus a coupon was awarded once. This resulted in an event with little continuity.

The information processing device that solves the above problem includes a record generation unit that generates a record corresponding to a user for each instruction from the user during an event period, a record registration unit that registers the record generated by the record generation unit in a record storage unit each time the record generation unit generates a record during the event period, and an advertisement provision unit that provides an advertisement in response to the instruction from the user during the event period when a record corresponding to a user stored in the record storage unit satisfies an advertisement provision condition.

The information processing system that solves the above problem includes a record generation unit that generates a record corresponding to a user for each instruction from the user during an event period, a record registration unit that registers the record generated by the record generation unit in a record storage unit each time the record generation unit generates a record during the event period, and an advertisement provision unit that provides an advertisement in response to an instruction from the user during the event period when a record corresponding to a user stored in the record storage unit satisfies an advertisement provision condition.

The information processing method for solving the above problem includes one or more computers generating a record corresponding to a user for each instruction from the user during an event period, registering the generated record each time a record is generated during the event period, and providing an advertisement in response to the instruction from the user during the event period when the record corresponding to the user satisfies an advertisement provision condition.

The program for solving the above problem causes one or more computers to generate a record corresponding to a user for each instruction from the user during an event period, register the generated record each time a record is generated during the event period, and provide an advertisement in response to the instruction from the user during the event period when the record corresponding to the user satisfies an advertisement provision condition.

The present invention allows for continuity as the event progresses.

<Event Control Processing>
Here, the event control process executed in the information processing device 11 will be described with reference to Fig. 6. The event control process is a process executed by the control unit 30 during the event period when login information is input from the user terminal device 12 in conjunction with the start of the event. In the following, to facilitate understanding of the invention, the control unit 30 will be described as the entity that executes the event control process.

As shown in FIG. 6, in step S10, the control unit 30 executes a login process. In this process, the control unit 30 performs user authentication based on whether or not the combination of a user ID and password included in the login information input from the user terminal device 12 is included in the user information. If the user authentication is successful, the control unit 30 proceeds to step S11. If the user authentication is not successful, the control unit 30 ends the event control process. If the user authentication is not successful, the control unit 30 may control the terminal display unit 24 to display an error message through communication with the user terminal device 12.

In step S11, the control unit 30 executes a record acquisition process. In this process, the control unit 30 acquires from the record storage unit 31C a record that corresponds to an event ID that corresponds to an event started by a user and to a user ID for which user authentication has been successfully performed. When step S11 ends, the control unit 30 proceeds to step S12.

In step S12, the control unit 30 determines whether the number of records corresponding to the event ID and user ID is the upper limit number of records. The upper limit number of records may be, for example, "5". If the control unit 30 determines that the number of records is the upper limit number of records, it proceeds to step S23 without executing steps S13 to S22. On the other hand, if the control unit 30 determines that the number of records is not the upper limit number of records, it proceeds to step S13.

In step S13, the control unit 30 executes an event provision process. In this process, the control unit 30 acquires the number of records corresponding to the event ID and user ID, the selection target ID, and the winning/losing information based on the record corresponding to the event ID and user ID. The control unit 30 then transmits the event ID, the user ID, the number of records, the selection target ID, and the winning/losing information to the user terminal device 12 corresponding to the user ID.

As a result, in the user terminal device 12, the terminal display unit 24 displays an image corresponding to the event ID. More specifically, the terminal display unit 24 displays a plurality of selection target images showing the selection targets corresponding to the event ID. In particular, the terminal display unit 24 displays, as the plurality of selection target images, images that can be identified as selection targets that have already been selected by the user. The terminal display unit 24 displays, from among the plurality of selection target images, an image that can be identified as winning/losing information as a selection target that has already been selected by the user.

In this way, the control unit 30 provides the event. More specifically, the control unit 30 provides a scratch lottery for selecting one of multiple selection items in response to a selection instruction from the user during the event period. The control unit 30 also makes an selection item that has already been selected in response to a user instruction unselectable based on a record corresponding to the user. The control unit 30 makes an selection item that has not yet been selected in response to a user instruction selectable based on a record corresponding to the user. The control unit 30 that executes such processing functions as the event providing unit 30B. When step S13 is completed, the control unit 30 proceeds to step S14.

In step S14, the control unit 30 determines whether or not a selection instruction has been input from the user terminal device 12. The selection instruction is an instruction indicating the selection of a selection object of the scratch lottery. The selection instruction may include a user ID, an event ID, and a selection object ID. If the control unit 30 determines that a selection instruction has not been input from the user terminal device 12, it shifts the process to step S14 again. On the other hand, if the control unit 30 determines that a selection instruction has been input from the user terminal device 12, it shifts the process to step S15. In other words, in step S14, the control unit 30 waits for a selection instruction until a selection instruction is input from the user terminal device 12.

In step S15, the control unit 30 determines whether the advertisement provision condition is met. The advertisement provision condition can be met based on the record corresponding to the event ID and the user ID. In other words, the advertisement provision condition can be met based on the record corresponding to the user. In particular, the advertisement provision condition can be met when the number of records corresponding to the event ID and the user ID is a specified number. The specified number may be, for example, "2" as long as it is equal to or less than the upper limit number, and may be one or more.

The advertisement provision condition may be met with a probability corresponding to whether the number of participating users is equal to or greater than the reference number of participating users. Specifically, the advertisement provision condition is met more frequently when the number of participating users is less than the reference number of participating users than when the number is equal to or greater than the reference number of participating users. In other words, when the number of participating users is set to a first number of users less than the reference number of participating users and a second number of users equal to or greater than the reference number of participating users, the advertisement provision condition may be met more frequently when the number of participating users is the first number of users than when the number is the second number of users.

If the control unit 30 determines that the advertisement provision condition is not met, it does not execute steps S16 and S17, and proceeds to step S18. On the other hand, if the control unit 30 determines that the advertisement provision condition is met, it proceeds to step S16.

In step S16, the control unit 30 executes an advertisement provision process. In this process, the control unit 30 acquires information related to the advertisement corresponding to the event ID from the storage unit 31. The control unit 30 then transmits the acquired information related to the advertisement to the user terminal device 12 corresponding to the user ID. As a result, when the record corresponding to the user satisfies the advertisement provision conditions, the control unit 30 provides the advertisement in response to the user's instructions during the event period. The control unit 30 that executes such a process functions as the advertisement provision unit 30E. When step S16 ends, the control unit 30 proceeds to step S17.

In step S17, the control unit 30 determines whether or not the advertisement provision has ended. In this process, the control unit 30 determines that the advertisement provision has ended when advertisement end information is received from the user terminal device 12. If the control unit 30 determines that the advertisement provision has not ended, the control unit 30 transitions the process to step S17 again. On the other hand, if the control unit 30 determines that the advertisement provision has ended, the control unit 30 transitions the process to step S18. In other words, in step S17, the control unit 30 waits for advertisement end information until advertisement end information is input from the user terminal device 12.

In step S18, the control unit 30 executes a reward lottery process. In this process, the control unit 30 performs a reward lottery corresponding to the event ID. As a result, the control unit 30 wins the reward lottery with a winning probability corresponding to the event ID. When step S18 ends, the control unit 30 proceeds to step S19.

In step S19, the control unit 30 determines whether or not the reward granting condition is met. The reward granting condition is met when the reward lottery is won. If the control unit 30 determines that the reward granting condition is not met, it does not execute step S20 and proceeds to step S21. On the other hand, if the control unit 30 determines that the reward granting condition is met, it proceeds to step S20.

In step S20, the control unit 30 executes a reward granting process. The control unit 30 adds predetermined reward information as reward information corresponding to the user ID. As a result, the control unit 30 grants a reward to the user when the reward granting conditions are met in accordance with the user's instructions during the event period. The control unit 30 that executes such a process functions as the reward granting unit 30F. When step S20 ends, the control unit 30 proceeds to step S21.

In step S21, the control unit 30 executes a record generation process. In this process, the control unit 30 generates a record ID corresponding to the user ID and the event ID. Then, the control unit 30 acquires the selection target ID, date and time information, and winning/losing information corresponding to the record ID. As a result, the control unit 30 generates a record including the user ID, the event ID, the record ID, the selection target ID, date and time information, and winning/losing information. In other words, the control unit 30 generates a record corresponding to the user in response to the user's instructions during the event period. The control unit 30 also generates a record corresponding to the user for each predetermined number of instructions from the user during the event period. The control unit 30 also generates a record corresponding to the selection target and the user selected in response to the user's instructions during the event period.

In particular, the control unit 30 generates a record corresponding to the user in response to the user's instructions during the event period, provided that the user is logged in. The control unit 30 generates records corresponding to the user in response to the user's instructions until the number of records corresponding to the user reaches the upper limit, but when the number of records corresponding to the user reaches the upper limit, the control unit 30 does not generate records corresponding to the user. When an advertisement is provided in response to a user's instructions during the event period, the control unit 30 generates a record corresponding to the user when the provision of the advertisement ends. The control unit 30 that executes such processing functions as the record generation unit 30C. When step S21 ends, the control unit 30 proceeds to step S22.

In step S22, the control unit 30 executes a record registration process. In this process, the control unit 30 registers the record generated in step S21 in the record storage unit 31C. As a result, every time the control unit 30 generates a record during the event period, the control unit 30 registers the generated record in the record storage unit 31C as history. The control unit 30 that executes such a process functions as the record registration unit 30D.

In particular, the control unit 30 counts the number of records corresponding to the user ID and event ID, and updates the number of records corresponding to the user ID and event ID. Furthermore, when the control unit 30 registers a record corresponding to the user ID and event ID for the first time when there is no record corresponding to the user ID and event ID, the control unit 30 updates the number of participating users corresponding to the event ID. In this way, the control unit 30 counts the number of participating users corresponding to the event ID. When step S22 is completed, the control unit 30 proceeds to step S23.

In step S23, the control unit 30 determines whether or not the end condition is met. The end condition can be met when logoff information is received from the user terminal device 12. The end condition can be met when the event period corresponding to the event ID ends. If the control unit 30 determines that the end condition is not met, it transitions the process to step S11 again. On the other hand, if the control unit 30 determines that the end condition is met, it ends the event control process. In this way, the control unit 30 can repeatedly execute steps S11 to S22 until the end condition is met.

In this embodiment, the second control unit of the information management server 11B may be used as the executing entity of the event control process. The second control unit communicates with the user terminal device 12 via the web server 11A, but may also communicate with the user terminal device 12 without via the web server 11A. In step S16, the second control unit may request information about the advertisement from the advertisement server 11C, and then obtain the information about the advertisement from the advertisement server 11C.

As shown in FIG. 7, to give a specific example, in the information management server 11B, when the second control unit determines that a selection instruction has been input from the user terminal device 12, the second control unit determines in step S15 whether the advertisement provision condition has been met. In detail, the second control unit acquires the number of records corresponding to the event ID and the user ID. Then, the second control unit determines that the advertisement provision condition has been met when the number of records corresponding to the event ID and the user ID is a specified number. When the second control unit determines that the advertisement provision condition has been met, the process proceeds to step S30.

In step S30, the second control unit executes an advertisement request process. In this process, the second control unit transmits an advertisement request to the advertisement server 11C. The advertisement request is a request for information related to an advertisement. The advertisement request may include an event ID and a user ID.

Meanwhile, in the advertising server 11C, in step S40, the third control unit executes an advertising request reception process. In this process, the third control unit receives an advertising request from the information management server 11B.

When the third control unit receives an advertisement request from the information management server 11B, in step S41, the third control unit executes an advertisement information transmission process. In this process, the third control unit transmits information about the advertisement corresponding to the event ID to the information management server 11B.

On the other hand, in the information management server 11B, when the second control unit receives information related to an advertisement from the advertisement server 11C in step S31, the second control unit executes an advertisement provision process in step S16. As a result, when the record corresponding to the user satisfies the advertisement provision conditions, the second control unit provides an advertisement in response to the user's instructions during the event period.

<Operation of First Embodiment>
The operation of the first embodiment will be described.
As shown in Fig. 8, a start screen 24A may be displayed on the terminal display unit 24. An image that can specify that a scratch lottery event has started is displayed on the start screen 24A. An image that can specify the event period is displayed on the start screen 24A. An image that can specify that reward information can be obtained in the event is displayed on the start screen 24A. A login button image is displayed on the start screen 24A. When the user inputs login information, the event starts if user authentication is successful.

When participating in an event for the first time, an initial screen 24B is displayed on the terminal display unit 24. A plurality of selection target images are displayed on the initial screen 24B. In this case, eight selection target images are displayed on the initial screen 24B. Furthermore, on the initial screen 24B, the plurality of selection target images are displayed in an unselected state, that is, not selected by the user. The unselected selection target images are images that can be selected by the user.

Initial screen 24B displays an image that identifies the number of times the user can give a selection instruction. In this case, initial screen 24B allows the user to give five selection instructions. Initial screen 24B displays an image that prompts the user to give a selection instruction.

Next, as a result of the first selection target image being selected by the user's selection instruction, a loss screen 24C may be displayed on the terminal display unit 24. The loss screen 24C displays an image that can identify that the user did not win the reward lottery.

Then, the first screen 24D is displayed on the terminal display unit 24. On the first screen 24D, an image that can be identified as not having won the reward lottery is displayed as the first selection target image selected by the user's selection instruction. In this way, on the first screen 24D, the selection target image selected by the user's selection instruction is displayed in a selected state selected by the user. A selection target image in a selected state is an image that can be identified as not being selectable by the user.

Next, when the second selectable image is selected by the user's selection instruction, a winning screen 24E may be displayed on the terminal display unit 24. An image that can identify that the user has won the reward lottery and that a reward will be awarded is displayed on the winning screen 24E.

Then, the second screen 24F is displayed on the terminal display unit 24. On the second screen 24F, an image that can be identified as a winner of the reward lottery is displayed as the second selection target image selected by the user's selection instruction. In this way, on the second screen 24F as well, the selection target image selected by the user's selection instruction is displayed in a selected state.

Next, the user may select a third selectable image, resulting in the display of advertisement screen 24G. An advertisement image is displayed on advertisement screen 24G for a predetermined period of time. Then, when the display of the advertisement image ends, screen 24E may be displayed on the terminal display unit 24.

Then, the third screen 24H is displayed on the terminal display unit 24. On the third screen 24H, an image that can be identified as a winner of the reward lottery is displayed as the third selection target image selected by the user's selection instruction. In this way, on the third screen 24H, the selection target image selected by the user's selection instruction is also displayed in a selected state.

In this embodiment, during an event period, even if the user logs off after the first screen 24D is displayed, the first screen 24D is displayed by logging on again. The second screen 24F and the third screen 24H are the same as the first screen 24D.

In this way, if a user logs off during an event, they can log on again and continue in the state they were in before they logged off. This means that if an event is in progress, the event can continue even if the user logs off.

Effects of the First Embodiment
The effects of the first embodiment will be described.
(1-1) The control unit 30 generates a record corresponding to a user for each instruction from the user during the event period. The control unit 30 registers the generated record in the record storage unit 31C each time a record is generated during the event period. The control unit 30 provides an advertisement in response to a user instruction during the event period when the record corresponding to the user satisfies the advertisement provision condition. Therefore, it is possible to provide an advertisement in response to a user instruction based on a record generated for each instruction from the user during the event period. In this way, it is possible to provide an advertisement in response to a user instruction during the event period. This makes it possible to provide an event with high continuity, and to manage records so as to provide advertisements appropriately. Therefore, it is possible to provide continuity as the event is carried out.

(1-2) The control unit 30 grants a reward to the user when the reward granting conditions are met in response to the user's instructions during the event period. Therefore, during the event period, rewards can be granted in response to the user's instructions. This makes it possible to continuously heighten the user's anticipation for receiving a reward. Therefore, it is possible to provide continuity as the event is carried out.

(1-3) During the event period, the control unit 30 generates a record corresponding to the user in response to the user's instructions, provided that the user is logged in. The record storage unit 31C continues to store the record corresponding to the user even after the user logs off during the event period. Therefore, even if the user logs off, if they log on again, advertisements can be provided based on the record corresponding to the registered user. Therefore, continuity can be maintained as the event is carried out.

(1-4) The control unit 30 generates records corresponding to the user in response to the user's instructions until the number of records corresponding to the user reaches the upper limit. On the other hand, when the number of records corresponding to the user reaches the upper limit, the control unit 30 does not generate records corresponding to the user. This makes it possible to provide advertisements in response to the user's instructions during the event period, and to make the user aware of the number of instructions given by the user during the event period. This makes it possible to provide continuity as the event is carried out.

(1-5) The control unit 30 satisfies the advertisement provision condition when the number of records corresponding to a user is a specified number, and provides advertisements in response to user instructions during the event period. This makes it possible to provide advertisements in response to user instructions during the event period, and to make the user aware of whether the number of user instructions during the event period corresponds to the specified number. This makes it possible to provide continuity as the event is carried out.

(1-6) The information management server 11B determines whether the conditions for providing advertisements are met, and when the conditions for providing advertisements are met, requests the advertisement server 11C to provide advertisements. Therefore, the information management server 11B can execute a process for storing records and a process for determining whether the conditions for providing advertisements are met based on the number of records. This allows the information management server 11B to manage records so that advertisements can be provided appropriately.

(1-7) When the control unit 30 provides an advertisement in response to a user's instruction during an event period, the control unit 30 generates a record corresponding to the user when the advertisement provision ends. This makes it possible to generate a record for the advertisement provided to the user. This makes it possible to provide an event with high continuity, and also makes it possible to manage records so that advertisements can be provided appropriately. This makes it possible to provide continuity as the event is carried out.

(1-8) When the number of participating users is the first number of users, the control unit 30 satisfies the advertisement provision condition more frequently than when the number of participating users is the second number of users, which is greater than the first number of users. Therefore, advertisements can be provided an appropriate number of times based on the number of participating users.

(1-9) The control unit 30 provides an event in which one of a plurality of selection targets is selected in response to a user's instruction during the event period. The control unit 30 generates a record corresponding to the selection target selected in response to the user's instruction during the event period and the user. The control unit 30 also makes the selection target already selected in response to the user's instruction unselectable based on the record corresponding to the user, and makes the selection target not yet selected in response to the user's instruction selectable. For this reason, the control unit 30 can register a record corresponding to the selection target selected in response to the user's instruction during the event period. Then, during the event period, the records can be managed so that it is possible to continuously store whether the selection target has already been selected and is unselectable, or whether the selection target has not yet been selected and is selectable, based on the registered record. This makes it possible to manage the records so that an event with high continuity can be provided. Therefore, continuity can be provided as the event is carried out.

[Second embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment will be described. In the second embodiment, in the advertisement server 11C, the third control unit may determine whether the advertisement provision condition is satisfied based on the number of records corresponding to the user ID and the event ID. In the following description, the same reference numerals are used for the same configurations as those in the embodiment already described, and the duplicated description will be omitted or simplified.

As shown in FIG. 9, in the second embodiment, in the information management server 11B, when the second control unit determines that a selection instruction has been input from the user terminal device 12, the second control unit executes a record number transmission process in step S32. In this process, the second control unit obtains the number of records corresponding to the event ID and the user ID. Then, the second control unit transmits the number of records corresponding to the event ID and the user ID to the advertising server 11C. The second control unit may transmit the event ID and the user ID together with the number of records to the advertising server 11C.

Meanwhile, in the advertising server 11C, in step S42, the third control unit executes a record number receiving process. In this process, the third control unit receives the number of records corresponding to the event ID and user ID from the information management server 11B.

Then, the third control unit determines whether the advertisement provision condition is met based on the number of records corresponding to the event ID and the user ID. In detail, the third control unit determines that the advertisement provision condition is met when the number of records corresponding to the event ID and the user ID is a specified number. If the third control unit determines that the advertisement provision condition is met, the process proceeds to step S41. In step S41, the third control unit transmits information about the advertisement corresponding to the event ID to the information management server 11B. As a result, the second control unit provides an advertisement in accordance with the user's instructions during the event period when the record corresponding to the user meets the advertisement provision condition.

When the third control unit determines that the advertisement provision conditions are not met, the third control unit may transmit information indicating that the advertisement provision conditions are not met to the information management server 11B. On the other hand, when the second control unit in the information management server 11B receives information indicating that the advertisement provision conditions are not met from the advertisement server 11C, the second control unit does not execute the advertisement provision process, but executes the next process such as a reward lottery process.

Effects of the Second Embodiment
The effects of the second embodiment will be described.
(2-1) The information management server 11B transmits the number of records corresponding to the user to the advertisement server 11C. The advertisement server 11C determines whether the advertisement provision conditions are met based on the number of records corresponding to the user. Therefore, the advertisement server 11C can execute a process of managing information related to advertisements and a process of determining whether the advertisement provision conditions are met. This allows the information management server 11B to manage records so that advertisements can be appropriately provided, and allows the advertisement server 11C to appropriately control the provision of advertisements.

[Example of change]
This embodiment can be modified as follows: This embodiment and the following modifications can be combined with each other to the extent that there is no technical contradiction.

- The information processing system 10 may be a system capable of storing a user's behavioral history. In other words, the information processing device 11 may be a system capable of storing a user's behavioral history. The user's behavioral history may be the purchase of a product, the provision of a trip, the provision of a service, etc.

- The control unit 30 may, for example, grant a discount coupon as a reward to the user. The discount coupon may be, for example, a discount on the purchase of a product, a trip offer, or a service offer, or may be a coupon that can be used at an affiliated store. The control unit 30 may also, for example, grant the product itself, the offer of the trip itself, or the offer of the service itself as a reward to the user. The control unit 30 may grant the user a type of reward based on the user's behavioral history.

- When an advertisement has been provided to a user, the control unit 30 may grant a reward to the user to whom the advertisement has been provided. In such a case, when the control unit 30 determines that the advertisement provision has ended, it may update the reward information corresponding to the user ID to whom the advertisement has been provided. As a specific example, in the information management server 11B, the second control unit may update the reward information corresponding to the user ID to whom the advertisement has been provided when it determines that the advertisement provision has ended. In the information management server 11B, the second control unit may send information indicating that the reward information corresponding to the user ID will be updated to another server that manages reward information when it determines that the advertisement provision has ended. In this way, the reward may be granted to the user to whom the advertisement has been provided.

- When the control unit 30 provides an advertisement to a user, it may grant a reward to the advertiser who provided the advertisement, regardless of the result of the reward lottery. In such a case, when the control unit 30 determines that the advertisement provision has ended, it may update the reward information corresponding to the advertiser who provided the advertisement. As a specific example, in the information management server 11B, the second control unit may update the reward information corresponding to the advertiser who provided the advertisement when it determines that the advertisement provision has ended. In the information management server 11B, the second control unit may send information indicating that the reward information corresponding to the advertiser will be updated to another server that manages reward information when it determines that the advertisement provision has ended. In this way, the reward may be granted to the advertiser who provided the advertisement.

- The control unit 30 may, for example, award one of multiple types of rewards to the user based on the results of a reward lottery. As a specific example, the control unit 30 may award 1 point or 5 points as a reward based on the results of the reward lottery.

- The reward granting condition may be met with a probability based on the selected target ID. The reward granting condition may be met with a probability based on the number of records corresponding to the user ID and event ID. As a specific example, the reward granting condition may be met with a higher probability when the number of records corresponding to the user ID and event ID is a second number of records that is greater than the first number of records, than when the number of records corresponding to the user ID and event ID is the first number of records.

- The reward granting condition may be met with a probability based on the number of participating users. As a specific example, the reward granting condition may be met with a higher probability when the number of participating users is equal to or greater than a standard number of participating users than when the number of participating users is less than a standard number of participating users.

- The reward granting condition may be met with a probability based on whether or not the advertisement provision condition is met. As a specific example, the reward granting condition may be met with a higher probability when the advertisement provision condition is met than when the advertisement provision condition is not met. This can heighten the expectation of receiving a reward when an advertisement is provided.

- The control unit 30 may, for example, conduct an additional reward drawing and grant a reward after the number of records corresponding to the user ID and event ID reaches the upper record limit. In this case, after providing an advertisement, the control unit 30 may conduct an additional reward drawing and grant a reward when the provision of the advertisement ends.

The control unit 30 may conduct a reward drawing on the condition that the advertisement image has been displayed for a predetermined period of time. In other words, the control unit 30 may not conduct a reward drawing when the advertisement image is not displayed for the predetermined period of time as a result of the display of the advertisement image being stopped partway through the predetermined period of time at the user's instruction. If the user terminal device 12 is set so that the advertisement image is not displayed, the control unit 30 may display an error message and may not conduct a reward drawing.

- The reward granting condition may be met based on the records corresponding to the user ID and event ID. As a specific example, the reward granting condition may be met when the number of records corresponding to the user ID and event ID is a predetermined number. For example, if the predetermined number is "3", the reward granting condition may not be met when the number of records corresponding to the user ID and event ID is "2". For example, if the predetermined number is "3", the reward granting condition may be met when the number of records corresponding to the user ID and event ID is "3".

The reward granting condition may be met based on the number of records corresponding to the user ID and event ID whose winning/losing information is winning. As a specific example, the reward granting condition may be met with a probability based on the number of records whose winning/losing information is winning. Whether the reward granting condition can be met or not may differ based on the number of records whose winning/losing information is winning. An upper limit number for which the reward granting condition can be met may be specified for the number of records whose winning/losing information is winning. For example, if the upper limit number is "3" and the number of records whose winning/losing information is "3", the reward granting condition does not have to be met. In such a case, if the reward granting condition can be met without based on a reward lottery, the control unit 30 may or may not conduct a reward lottery.

In this way, the control unit 30 may grant a reward in accordance with a user's instructions during the event period when the record corresponding to the user satisfies the reward granting condition. Therefore, during the event period, a reward can be granted in accordance with a user's instructions. This makes it possible to manage records so as to provide an event with high continuity. Therefore, continuity can be achieved as the event is implemented.

The control unit 30 may provide one or more types of advertisements. In this case, the control unit 30 may change the number of advertisements provided based on the type of the user terminal device 12. As a specific example, the control unit 30 may provide one advertisement when the type of the user terminal device 12 is a mobile terminal device, and provide two advertisements when the type of the user terminal device 12 is not a mobile terminal device.

The control unit 30 may provide the user with a type of advertisement based on the user's behavioral history. The control unit 30 may provide the user with a type of advertisement based on the date and time information given by the user.

- The advertisement provision condition may be met with a probability based on the selected target ID. The advertisement provision condition may be met with a probability based on the number of records corresponding to the user ID and event ID. As a specific example, the advertisement provision condition may be met with a higher probability when the number of records corresponding to the user ID and event ID is a second number of records that is greater than the first number of records, than when the number of records corresponding to the user ID and event ID is the first number of records. The advertisement provision condition may always be met in response to a user instruction. The advertisement provision condition may not always be met in response to a user instruction. In other words, the information processing system 10 may be a system that does not provide an advertisement but grants a reward in response to a user instruction.

The control unit 30 may determine that the provision of the advertisement has ended when the transmission of information related to the advertisement is completed, rather than when advertisement end information is received from the user terminal device 12 .
The number of participating users corresponding to an event ID is the number of participating unique users that does not include overlapping users, but may be the cumulative number of participating users that includes overlapping users. Furthermore, fulfillment of the reward granting condition may be determined based on the number of times an advertisement has been provided, rather than the number of participating users. fulfilment of the advertisement provision condition may be determined based on the number of times an advertisement has been provided. fulfilment of the reward granting condition may be determined based on the specific number of times a reward has been granted, rather than the number of participating users. fulfilment of the advertisement provision condition may be determined based on the specific number of times a reward has been granted. fulfilment of the reward granting condition may be determined based on the reward value by which the reward has been granted. fulfilment of the advertisement provision condition may be determined based on the reward value.

The control unit 30 does not need to count the number of records corresponding to the user ID and event ID in advance, and may count the number of records corresponding to the user ID and event ID before generating the records in response to a user instruction. In this case, the control unit 30 does not need to register the record management information in the record storage unit 31C.

- As for the records registered in the record storage unit 31C, as long as one record is generated for each user instruction, the correspondence between the information may be arbitrary. As a specific example, the record may have a one-to-one relationship between a user ID, an event ID, a record ID, a selection target ID, date and time information, and winning/losing information. When the provision of the advertisement has not ended, a record may not be generated. In this case, a record may not be generated in response to a user instruction.

- The control unit 30 controls so that when the number of records corresponding to a user reaches the upper limit, the user is prevented from participating in the event itself, but this is not limited to the above. For example, the control unit 30 may control so that when the number of records corresponding to a user reaches the upper limit, the user is allowed to participate in the event itself, but is not allowed to generate records in response to the user's selection instruction.

- For users who have participated in the event at least once, if they have logged in, the start screen 24A may not be displayed on the terminal display unit 24, and a screen on which multiple selection items can be identified in the scratch lottery may be displayed on the terminal display unit 24.

The event does not have to be a scratch lottery. The multiple selection items may be a selection of products instead of scratch cards. The event may be an event in which a reward is given in response to a user instruction not to select an item. In other words, the instruction from the user is not limited to a selection instruction from the user. The instruction from the user may be any instruction, such as tapping a specified area, double-clicking, or hovering the mouse over.

- In the information management server 11B, the second control unit counts the number of records, but this is not limited to the above. For example, in the advertisement server 11C, the third control unit may count the number of records. As a specific example, in the advertisement server 11C, the third control unit counts the number of records corresponding to a user ID and an event ID when a selection instruction is given by the user, just like the second control unit. Then, the third control unit determines whether or not the advertisement provision conditions are met based on the counted number of records.

- In the information processing device 11, at least one of the functions of the web server 11A, the information management server 11B, and the advertisement server 11C may be provided in a different server. As a specific example, the web server 11A may hold a reward lottery and grant a reward to the user. The information management server 11B may have a function of managing information related to advertisements in the advertisement server 11C. The information management server 11B may have a function of managing information related to events in the web server 11A. The advertisement server 11C may have a function of providing information related to advertisements to the user terminal device 12 via the web server 11A. The advertisement server 11C may have a function of providing information related to advertisements directly to the user terminal device 12 without going through the web server 11A and the information management server 11B. The function of providing advertisements, the function of identifying users to whom advertisements have been provided, and the function of managing rewards for users to whom advertisements have been provided may be provided in any of the web server 11A, the information management server 11B, and the advertisement server 11C, or may be provided in a different server.

- The information processing device 11 may not include any of the web server 11A, the information management server 11B, and the advertising server 11C. As a specific example, the information processing device 11 may not include the web server 11A, and the information management server 11B may communicate with the user terminal device 12 without going through the web server 11A. The information processing device 11 may not include the advertising server 11C, and the information management server 11B may obtain information about advertisements from an advertising server that is not included in the information processing system 10. In other words, the information management server 11B can be said to have a function of providing advertisements by requesting information about advertisements from the advertising server 11C, regardless of whether it is included in the information processing system 10 or not.

- The expression "at least any" as used herein means one or more of the desired options. As an example, the expression "at least any" as used herein means only one option or both options if the number of options is two. As another example, the expression "at least any" as used herein means only one option or any combination of two or more options if the number of options is three or more.
