Service expanding system and cooperating server

Abstract

A service expanding system for expanding the types of services provided to users by existing service providing systems without burdening the existing service providing systems. The service expanding system includes an SNS server (3) for sending utilization information including the sender and the sending time to a user terminal (2) in response to a request by the user terminal (2) permitted to make an access, an expansion providing system (4) for acquiring the utilization information including the sender information and the sending time from the user terminal (2), checking by using the acquired sender information and the sending time that the sender and the user terminal (2) are permitted to make an access to the SNS server (3), and starting to provide an expansion service to the user terminal (2) after the check, and the user terminal(2) which, while being permitted to make an access to the SNS server (3), requires the SNS server (3) to send the utilization information in response to the operation by the user, transfers the utilization information to the expansion providing system (4) on acquiring the utilization information, and carries out output corresponding to the expansion service provided by the expansion providing system (4).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a service extension system that contacts a service providing server that provides a prescribed service to provide further extended services, and a contact server included in the system. Background technique [0002] Like a social networking system (hereinafter referred to as "SNS"), users who request access are authenticated with authentication information, and access is granted only to authenticated users. For example, it is provided as a place for information exchange between users. A service providing system specifying a service such as a community service has been known (for example, Patent Document 1). [0003] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-229282 [0004] For the authenticated user, when a new service is added in addition to the service provided by the existing service providing system, it may be considered that the service providing system manages all additional systems for providing addi...

Problems solved by technology

However, in such a structure, the service provision system will be burdened with major revisions of existing programs and the operation and management of newly added systems. , the labor force has also become huge

When the burden on the service provision system becomes large in this way, for example, when an additional service is provided by a company different from the operating company of the existing service provision system, it becomes difficult to spread the additional service

As a result, the types of services in the existing service provision system are fixed, and the scalability is impaired.
