FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the structure of the store information stored in the registered store information storage section 22 and the stored data. As shown in FIG. 5, the registered store information storage unit 22 stores the store name, address (a type of location information), location information, and the number of users who have been able to drink (a specific beverage) in association with the store ID that identifies the store. , the number of users who could not drink, and rank information are stored. Note that the address is an example of the location information associated with the store ID, and is not essential information.

The store name is the name of the store. The address is information indicating the location of the store. The location information is location information indicating the location of the store, and includes, for example, latitude and longitude.

In this embodiment, the predetermined experience is the ability to drink a specific beverage, and the number of users who were able to drink the drink (number of posted information) and the number of users who were unable to drink the drink are stored in the registered store information storage unit 22. The number of users (number of posted information) constitutes an example of experience information. The rank is an index indicating how likely it is that a predetermined experience can be enjoyed at the store, and is set based on, for example, a comparison of the number of users who were able to drink compared to the number of users who were not able to drink.

Specifically, the store information extraction unit 12 refers to the position information in the registered store information storage unit 22 based on the position information indicating the position of the terminal 30, and extracts a range within a given vicinity from the position of the terminal 30.

The store information includes store location information as well as experience information indicating whether or not a predetermined experience is available. Therefore, by referring to the store information, the user of the terminal 30 can easily obtain information on stores where there is a high possibility of obtaining a predetermined experience.

Referring again to FIG. 2, posted information acquisition section 14 acquires posted information transmitted from terminal 30 (second terminal) in response to transmission of store information. As described above, the posted information is information indicating whether or not the user was able to have a predetermined experience at the store indicated in the store information transmitted to the terminal 30. As will be explained later, when a user inputs on the terminal 30 that he or she was able to have a predetermined experience at a store, the terminal 30 displays the input content and information identifying the store (e.g. Send posted information including store ID).

The information registration unit 15 associates the posted information acquired by the posted information acquisition unit 14 with the store indicated in the posted information, and registers the posted information as experience information of the store.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the experience information stored in the experience information storage unit 23 and the stored data. For example, the experience information storage unit 23 stores, for each store ID that identifies the store, posted information posted for the store in association with each other as experience information.

One piece of posted information includes a user ID, user position, posting time, information indicating whether or not the person was able to drink, and a valid flag. The user position is information acquired based on the position information of the terminal 30 when the posted information is transmitted, and is information represented by, for example, an address. The posting time is information indicating the date and time when posted information was sent. The information indicating whether the drink was available or not was information indicating whether or not the specific beverage was available at the store, and is based on the user's input on the terminal 30. The information in which the information indicating whether the drink was drinkable or not drinkable constitutes the experience information included in the store information in FIG. 5 .

The validity flag is information indicating the reliability of the posted information. The information registration unit 15 sets a "valid" flag when the user position in the posted information has a degree of matching with the address information of the store information (see store information in FIG. 5) of the store at a predetermined level or higher. Set. On the other hand, if the user position in the posted information does not match the address information in the store information of the store (see store information in FIG. 5) to a predetermined degree, the information registration unit 15 ” flag. When the information registration unit 15 generates experience information for the store by aggregating posted information, it can exclude posted information for which an invalid flag has been set.

Note that the information indicating the reliability of the posted information is not limited to the validity flag illustrated in FIG. 6, and may be information representing the reliability of the posted information as a numerical value in the range of 1 to 100, for example. Further, the information indicating the reliability of posted information may be set such that the higher the number of posts by users who have posted the posted information, the higher the reliability.

In this way, store information of stores located near the location of the terminal 30 is provided to the terminal 30, posted information indicating whether or not a predetermined experience is available at the store indicated in the provided store information is transmitted from the terminal 30, The submitted posted information is registered as experience information associated with the store. This makes it possible to accumulate highly accurate information indicating whether or not an actual predetermined experience is available at the store.

Note that when acquiring and registering posted information, the user's posting qualifications may be verified. The qualification confirmation unit 16 may refer to the user information and acquire qualification information (first qualification information) regarding the posting qualification of the user of the terminal 30 (second terminal). The first qualification information indicates whether or not the user has a posting qualification, which is a qualification for posting posting information regarding whether or not a user can have a predetermined experience.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of user information stored in the user information storage unit 21 and the stored data. The user information storage unit 21 stores a user's name and qualification information (first qualification information) in association with a user ID that identifies the user. For example, user "AAA" with user ID "001" does not have the qualification to post information. Further, the user "BBB" with the user ID "002" has the qualification to post information.

By referring to the qualification information acquired by the qualification confirmation part 16, when the user of the terminal 30 has the qualification for posting, the information registration part 15 converts the posted information transmitted from the terminal 30 of the user into experience information. Register as.

In this way, by making having the posting qualification a condition for registering posted information, it is possible to improve the reliability of posted information stored as experience information. Furthermore, for example, by setting the conditions for granting qualifications based on the frequency of use of the service constituted by the information providing device 10, it is possible to motivate the user to use the service.

Referring again to FIG. 2, the registered store information acquisition unit 17 acquires the registration target store information regarding the registration target store transmitted from the terminal 30 (second terminal). Specifically, since the user of the terminal 30 (second terminal) recognizes the store to be registered, which is the store related to the user's predetermined experience, the store information provided to the terminal 30 by the information providing unit 13 It can be determined whether or not the store to be registered is included. If the store information provided to the terminal 30 does not include the store to be registered, the user can transmit from the terminal 30 the store information to be registered, which is store information regarding the store to be registered. Therefore, the registered store information acquisition unit 17 acquires the registration target store information transmitted from the terminal 30 that received the store information transmitted by the information providing unit 13.

In addition to the registration target store information, the terminal 30 can transmit posted information indicating whether or not a predetermined experience is available at the registration target store, so the posted information acquisition unit 14 can acquire the posted information at the registration target store. Good too.

The information registration unit 15 registers the registration target store information acquired by the registered store information acquisition unit 17 in the registered store information storage unit 22 in association with the posted information acquired by the posted information acquisition unit 14.

In this way, the registration target store information transmitted from the terminal 30 is acquired and registered together with posted information indicating whether or not a predetermined experience is available at the store. Therefore, it becomes possible to accumulate experience information at stores that have not been registered in the information providing device 10. Further, the user may only register the store via the terminal 30. This allows the user to determine whether the store has the desired product based on posts from other users.

Note that when acquiring and registering the registration target store information, the user's store registration qualifications may be verified. The qualification confirmation unit 16 may refer to the user information and acquire qualification information (second qualification information) regarding the registration qualification of the store to be registered by the user of the terminal 30 (second terminal).

In the example shown in FIG. 7, the user information storage unit 21 stores the user's name and qualification information (second qualification information) in association with a user ID that identifies the user. For example, the user "CCC" with the user ID "003" has the qualification for posting and the qualification for store registration.

The information registration unit 15 refers to the qualification information acquired by the qualification confirmation unit 16, and when the user of the terminal 30 is qualified for store registration, the information registration unit 15 stores the registration target store information transmitted from the user's terminal 30. Register as store information.

In this way, by making having the qualification for store registration a condition for registering store information to be registered, it is possible to improve the reliability of stored store information. Furthermore, for example, by setting the conditions for granting qualifications based on the frequency of use of the service constituted by the information providing device 10, it is possible to motivate the user to use the service.

When registering the registration target store information, the information registration unit 15 determines whether the degree of similarity of the corresponding information between the registration target store information and the already registered store information stored in the registered store information storage unit 22 is a predetermined degree. If it is less than the above average, the registration target store information may be registered in the registered store information storage section 22. On the other hand, if the degree of similarity of the corresponding information between the registration target store information and the already registered store information is equal to or higher than a predetermined degree, the information registration unit 15 converts the registration target store information into the already registered store information. It is also possible to integrate and register.

Specifically, the information registration unit 15 calculates, for example, the degree of similarity in location information and the degree of similarity in store name, etc., between the registration target store information and the already registered store information. The similarity of location information is, for example, the distance between locations represented by the location information. Furthermore, the degree of similarity of store names is obtained by a well-known technique for calculating the degree of similarity of texts.

If the degree of similarity of the corresponding information between the registration target store information and the already registered store information is less than a predetermined degree, the registration target store is considered to be unregistered in the registered store information storage unit 22. Therefore, the information registration unit 15 registers the registration target store information in the registered store information storage unit 22.

If the degree of similarity of the corresponding information between the registration target store information and the already registered store information is equal to or higher than a predetermined degree, the registration target store is considered to be already registered in the registered store information storage unit 22. Therefore, the information registration unit 15 integrates the registration target store information with the already registered store information.

In this way, by controlling the registration of the registration target store information according to the degree of similarity of the corresponding information between the registration target store information and the already registered store information, the registration target store information and the already registered store information can be Duplicate registration of store information due to fluctuations in the included information is prevented.

More specifically, the benefit granting unit 18 may transmit a token (eg, NFT (Non-Fungible Token), etc.) as a benefit to the terminal 30.

Further, specifically, the benefit granting unit 18 may grant the benefit by associating the user ID that identifies the user of the terminal 30 with benefit data indicating the benefit. More specifically, the benefit granting unit 18 may associate benefit data (for example, points) with the user ID of the user to whom the benefit is granted in the user information storage unit 21 .

In this way, by providing a benefit to a user who has posted posted information, it is possible to give the user a motive for transmitting the posted information by using the grant as an incentive.

Further, the benefit granting unit 18 grants a benefit of a second type different from the first type to the user of the terminal 30 (second terminal) that has transmitted posted information indicating that the predetermined experience was not possible. You may.

In addition, when the number of posted information indicating that a predetermined experience was achieved that has been posted and accumulated for one store exceeds a predetermined number, the benefit granting unit 18 does not post information for that one store. Benefits may be given to users who have posted information up to that point and users who will post information thereafter. In this way, by granting a benefit when the reliability of obtaining a predetermined experience reaches a certain level or higher, the granting of the benefit serves as an incentive to motivate the user to post posted information, and It becomes possible to increase the reliability of experience information.

Considering that posted information indicating that the specified experience was not possible is also useful information, we will provide benefits that are different from those posted when posted information indicating that the specified experience was completed. By using this as an incentive, it is possible to give the user of the second terminal a motive for transmitting posted information indicating that he/she was unable to have a predetermined experience.

If the store information provided to the terminal 30 does not include the store to be registered, the user can transmit from the terminal 30 the store information to be registered, which is store information regarding the store to be registered.

Note that the registration target store information may be information including a store name, address, etc. input by the user. In addition, if the terminal 30 can receive information from a predetermined site that provides a service that provides information on stores near the acquired location information, the store information to be registered is based on the location information of the terminal 30. The information may be information selected by the user from store information provided from the predetermined site.

In this way, for example, if there is no store information corresponding to a store where a predetermined experience was or was not possible in the store information received at the terminal 30, the user of the terminal 30 can check the registration target for the store. Store information can be sent. The registration target store information transmitted from the terminal 30 is acquired and registered in the information providing device 10 together with posted information indicating whether or not a predetermined experience is available at the store. It becomes possible to accumulate experience information.
