The following describes in detail an exemplary embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings. However, the components described in the following embodiment are merely examples, and are not intended to limit the technical scope of the present invention to those components.

[First embodiment]
An information processing device 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 1. The information processing device 100 is a device that manages a campaign that encourages users to purchase products.

As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing device 100 includes a points storage unit 101, a campaign registration unit 102, an application acquisition unit 103, and a winning/losing determination unit 104.

The point storage unit 101 stores the acquired points for each user. The campaign registration unit 102 registers campaigns to which applications can be made using at least a portion of the acquired points stored in the point storage unit 101. The application acquisition unit 103 acquires applications to campaigns from user terminals. The winning/losing determination unit 104 determines whether applications to campaigns from user terminals have been won or lost.

The above information processing device allows effective campaign management.

[Second embodiment]
Next, an information processing device 200 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 2 and subsequent figures. Fig. 2 is a diagram for explaining the configuration of the information processing device 200 according to this embodiment. As shown in Fig. 2, the information processing device 200 includes a point storage unit 201, a campaign registration unit 202, an application acquisition unit 203, a winning/losing determination unit 204, a setting unit 205, a display control unit 206, and a notification unit 207.

The point storage unit 201 stores acquired points for each user. The campaign registration unit 202 registers campaigns to which applications can be made using at least a portion of the acquired points stored in the point storage unit 201. The application acquisition unit 203 acquires applications for campaigns from the user terminal.

The winning/losing determination unit 204 determines whether an application to the campaign from a user terminal is a winning or losing application. The winning/losing determination unit 204 includes an immediate determination unit 241 that makes a determination immediately when the application acquisition unit 203 acquires an application to the campaign, and a later determination unit 242 that makes a determination at a timing according to instructions from an operator.

The setting unit 205 sets the number of points to be acquired for a purchased product or a user's action. For example, it can be set as 1 point for 350 ml of beer A, 2 points for 500 ml of beer A, 3 points for beer B, etc.

The display control unit 206 causes the result of the judgment made by the winning/losing judgment unit 204 to be displayed on the user terminal. The display control unit 206 causes the result of the judgment made by the immediate judgment unit 241 to be displayed on the user terminal immediately. The notification unit 207 notifies the user terminal of the result of the judgment made by the later judgment unit 242 at a later date.

Figure 3 is a diagram showing the contents registered in the campaign registration unit 202. For each campaign, the campaign registration unit 202 can register the period, the point registration method (receipt, serial code, or JAN code, or a combination of these), point type, the number of points used, whether or not a lottery will be held and the timing, the contents of gifts, etc.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of campaign setting processing in the information processing device 200. In step S401, campaign generation is started (the campaign entity such as a manufacturer or a store registers the campaign name, etc.). Next, in step S403, the start and end dates of the campaign are set. Next, in step S405, a point registration means (receipt, serial code, or JAN code, or a combination thereof) is set. Furthermore, in step S407, the point type and the number of accumulated points for each product are set. Points may be prepared independently for each campaign, or general-purpose points may be set across multiple campaigns. In some cases, points on a credit card or points on an e-shopping site may be used. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a setting screen 600 for setting the number of accumulated points for each product. FIG. 6 shows the setting that 15 points are given to the user for purchasing a 6-can pack of beer A, 60 points for purchasing a case, 10 points for purchasing a 6-can pack of beer B, 40 points for purchasing a case, 5 points for purchasing a 6-can pack of beer C, and 20 points for purchasing a case. The points given for each product can be easily changed. The points awarded for each product can be adjusted, making it possible to award points according to the amount and promote purchases.

Next, in step S409, the presents (type and number) to be offered to users in the campaign are set, and in steps S411 and S413, the number of points to be used for each present, whether a lottery will be held, and whether a lottery will be held immediately or at a later date are set. FIG. 7 shows an example of a setting screen 700 used in steps S411 and S413. In this way, since settings can be made for each present, flexible incentive design can be achieved. In other words, multiple entry courses can be prepared depending on the points, and a setting that mixes immediate and later lotteries can also be set.

For example, for high-value gifts, the number of points used can be greater than for low-value gifts, or a lottery can be held at a later date to carry out strict checks to ensure that there are no problems with the process of acquiring points. It is also possible to announce the end of the campaign in a spectacular fashion by holding a lottery at a later date and announcing the winners all at once. This can increase users' motivation for the next campaign.

In step S415, when the campaign start time arrives, applications are obtained from user terminals such as smartphones, and a lottery is conducted to determine whether or not a winner has been received. In the case of an immediate determination, the user terminal is notified immediately. The process proceeds to step S417, and when the number of winners reaches the set maximum value or the campaign period ends, the campaign processing ends. In addition, the system may have functions and processes for adjusting the probability of winning in the campaign as needed. Alternatively, the system may have a program module that automatically adjusts the probability of winning so that it gradually decreases or increases.

In addition, the registration settings for points linked to a campaign may be set to include the registration method (receipt, serial code, JAN code, etc.), registration limit (no limit, or x number of times per person per day), receipt judgment items (purchase period, purchase store, minimum total purchase amount, purchase price of each product), posting group (Group A, Group B), points (a fixed number of points, or a number of points according to the amount, expiration date), and automatic point activation conditions (purchase period, purchase store, total purchase amount, product purchase price, posting group, or a combination thereof).

Figure 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing of the information processing device 200 at the user terminal. In step S501, a participation registration that specifies a campaign is accepted from a user terminal such as a smartphone. Then, the process proceeds to step S503, where a user page is opened using an SNS account. If the user does not have an SNS account, the user is prompted to enter the user's name, address, etc. Here, a user page is prepared for each campaign, but the present invention is not limited to this. A single user page that simultaneously manages multiple campaigns may be generated. In that case, for example, the accumulation status of multiple types of points can be simultaneously viewed and understood. Figure 8 is a diagram showing an example of a user page display screen 800.

In step S505, an image or text data of a receipt or invoice, or a product ID read from a sticker affixed to a product, is obtained from the user who has opened a user page. Then, in step S507, the number of points according to the type, price, and number of products purchased by the user is determined, and in step S509, these are added to the accumulated points stored in the point storage unit 201. In addition, in step S511, it is determined whether or not a campaign has been applied for from the user page, and if so, the number of points according to the application subject is subtracted from the accumulated points stored in the point storage unit 201.

Points accumulated in this way may be invalidated when one campaign ends, or may be valid for a long period of time so that they can be used across multiple campaigns.

The process flow shown in Figures 4 and 5 is realized by a processor provided in the information processing device 200 reading and executing various programs from a specified memory. In other words, the concept of the present invention also includes program modules corresponding to each step in Figures 4 and 5 and storage media that store such program modules. Of course, each step in Figures 4 and 5 may also be realized by dedicated hardware such as electronic circuits.
