DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described by taking as an example a case where the present invention is applied to a system for providing contents related to restaurants. Note that the same elements are given the same reference numerals and duplicated explanations will be omitted.

[0010] [Outline of information processing system] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of an information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment. The information processing system 1 includes a first Web system 100, a second Web system 200, and a carrier terminal 300.

[0011] The first web system (other system) 100 creates an account at the request of a restaurant operator, and provides an SNS on which content such as text messages, images (photos), videos, and audio can be posted. As an example of an SNS, Instagram (registered trademark), which is mainly used for posting photos, is assumed, but of course the present invention is not limited to this, and various SNSs can be used.

[0012] The second web system (posting linking system) 200 provides restaurant content related to recommended restaurants in response to requests from each user searching for restaurants. Restaurant content can be created and registered by each business. Each restaurant content includes information such as an identification ID, restaurant name, location area, address, telephone number, images related to the restaurant, menu information, business hours, and website URL.

[0013] In this embodiment, various contents (posted contents) posted by business operators to the first Web system 100 can be linked to restaurant contents related to their own stores. The second Web system 200 may be configured with an API (Application Programming Interface) for acquiring the posted contents from the first Web system 100, or may acquire the posted contents from the first Web system 100 by a technique such as web scraping. The first Web system 100 and the second Web system 200 may be configured by one computer, or may be configured by multiple computers distributed on a communication network N.

[0014] The business operator terminal 300 is configured by, for example, a personal computer (PC), a notebook PC, a tablet terminal, a handheld computer device, a wearable terminal, a mobile phone, a smartphone, etc. The business operator terminal 300 is provided with software, a browser, etc. required for using the present system 1. Each business operator posts content to be posted to the first Web system 100, and registers and edits restaurant content to the second Web system 200, by operating the software, browser, etc. The software may be configured to be installed in the business operator terminal 300, or may be configured such that some or all of the functions of the software are provided from an external server (not shown) or the like via a communication network N (so-called SaaS (Software as a Service), etc.).

[0015] The first Web system 100, the second Web system 200, and the business operator terminal 300 are connected via a communication network N. The number of the business operator terminals 300, etc. can be set arbitrarily depending on the number of business operators using the present system 1, etc.

[0016] The communication network N includes a communication network capable of transmitting and receiving information between the first Web system 100, the second Web system 200, and the carrier terminal 300. The communication network N may be, for example, the Internet, a LAN, a dedicated line, a telephone line, an in-house network, a mobile communication network, Bluetooth (registered trademark), WiFi (Wireless Fidelity), other communication lines, or a combination thereof, regardless of whether it is wired or wireless.

[0017] [Configuration of the second web system] FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the second Web system 200. As shown in FIG. The second Web system 200 includes, as its physical components, a processor 21, a communication interface 22, and a storage device 23, for example.

[0018] The processor 21 is, for example, a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or an MPU (Micro Processing Unit).

[0019] The communication interface 22 functions as a communication unit that connects to the communication network N and communicates with other devices on the communication network N.

[0020] The storage device 23 is, for example, a computer-readable recording medium such as a disk drive or a semiconductor memory. The storage device 23 includes a program 231 for implementing various functions of the second Web system 200 and a database 232 for storing various data used by the program 231.

[0021] The database 232 includes, for example, a business information database (DB) 232a, a restaurant content database (DB) 232b, and the like. The business information DB 232a stores various information related to each business that uses the system 1. For example, the business information DB 232a stores basic information about the business, including authentication information (e.g., business ID and password) for each business to log in to the second Web system 200, contact information, address, and the like.

[0022] Restaurant content including various information related to each restaurant is registered in the restaurant content DB 232b. Each restaurant content includes information such as an identification ID, restaurant name, location area, address, telephone number, image data related to the restaurant, menu information, business hours, and website URL. In addition, when linked with the first Web system 100, posted content obtained from the first Web system 100 is registered in the restaurant content DB 232b.

[0023] 3 is a block diagram showing functional modules realized by processor 21 executing program 231 stored in storage device 23. As shown in FIG. 3, the functional modules include an account management unit 211, a link setting unit 212, an acquisition unit 213, a reception unit 214, and a display control unit 215.

[0024] The account management unit 211 manages accounts (such as information including IDs and passwords) used by businesses, and accepts logins from each account.

[0025] The link setting unit 212 performs settings required for account linkage with the first Web system 100 (linkage with other systems) in response to a request from the business (details will be described later).

[0026] When linked with the first Web system 100, the acquisition unit 213 acquires posted content of the business from the first Web system 100. The acquisition unit 213 may acquire the posted content at a predetermined timing (once a day (in the morning), etc.), but may also acquire the posted content at any timing, for example, in response to a request from the business. In addition, the number of posted contents to be acquired (for example, the latest 20 pieces) can also be set or changed as desired.

[0027] The reception unit 214 receives various input operations from the business operator via the business operator terminal 300 . The display control unit 215 includes a first display control unit 215a and a second display control unit 215b, and controls each image, screen, and the like to be displayed on the operator terminal 300.

[0028] The first display control unit 215a displays a list of posted contents of the business acquired by the acquisition unit 213 on a store management screen (described later). The store management screen is displayed on the business terminal 300 of the business. By checking the store management screen, the business can select (set) posted contents to be displayed / hidden from each user from the list of posted contents displayed on the store management screen.

[0029] The second display control unit 215b controls the display of a store public screen (described later) based on the selection of posted content by the business. The store public screen is displayed on the business terminal 300 of the business for confirmation, and is also displayed on each user's terminal (not shown) in response to a request from each user searching for a restaurant or the like.

[0030] [Screen displayed on operator's terminal] Various screens displayed on the operator terminal 300 will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0031] (1) Account linking screen FIG. 4 shows an example of the account link screen P1. The account linking screen P1 is a screen for account linking between the first Web system 100 and the second Web system 200. An operator wishing to link accounts presses the [Agree and link] button B1. When this operation is performed, the screen transitions to an authentication screen of the first Web system 100, where login authentication (such as a request to enter an ID and password) is performed. When the login authentication is successful and the accounts are linked, the posted content of the first Web system 100 is linked to the restaurant content of the second Web system 200.

[0032] (2) Store management screen FIG. 5 shows an example of the store management screen P2. The store management screen P2 is a screen displayed after account linkage, and is a screen for selecting posted content to be displayed or hidden from each user from a list of posted content of the business acquired by the acquisition unit 213. The business operates the business terminal 300 to select posted content to be displayed or hidden from the list of posted content displayed on the store management screen P2. As an example, the business selects a photo of a good-looking signature menu item of a store or a photo of a recommended drink for a limited time as posted content to be displayed. In response to this selection operation, the display / hide icon IC in the upper right of each posted content is switched. When the business selects posted content to be displayed or hidden, the business presses the [Reflect] button B2 shown at the bottom of the store management screen P2.

[0033] (3) Display / hide confirmation screen FIG. 6 shows an example of the display / non-display confirmation screen P3. The show / hide confirmation screen P3 is a pop-up screen that prompts the business operator to make a final confirmation of the posted content to be displayed or hidden. In the example shown in Fig. 6, the posted content to be switched from "hidden" to "displayed" (i.e., the posted content set to be displayed) is displayed in the upper row, and the posted content to be switched from "displayed" to "hidden" (i.e., the posted content set to be hidden) is displayed in the lower row. The business operator checks the show / hide confirmation screen P3, and when they confirm that there are no problems, they press the [OK] button B3 shown at the bottom of the show / hide confirmation screen P3.

[0034] (4) Store public screen FIG. 7 shows an example of the shop disclosure screen P4. The store public screen P4 is a screen that displays the restaurant content of the business operator, which is made public to each user who performs a store search. The store public screen P4 displays the posted content set to be displayed together with the restaurant content of the business operator, and does not display the posted content set to be hidden.

[0035] In the example shown in Fig. 7, multiple posted contents set for display are posted under restaurant content (here, a photo showing a special space) (see the red frame in Fig. 7). The number of posted contents set for display (for example, up to a maximum of six) and their positions can be specified in advance, but may also be set and changed arbitrarily. The display format of the store disclosure screen P4 may be changed depending on the type of device used by the user (for example, a smartphone, a PC, etc.).

[0036] (5) Enlarged view of submitted content FIG. 8 shows an example of the posted content enlarged screen P5. The posted content enlarged screen P5 is a screen that is displayed when any posted content is selected by a tap operation or the like. The posted content that is tapped is enlarged and displayed on the posted content enlarged screen P5. In the example shown in FIG. 8, a photo and an explanatory text (so-called caption) included in the posted content are displayed on the posted content enlarged screen P5. In this way, even if posted content that has been set for display is selected, the screen does not transition to the first Web system 100 that is the posting source.

[0037] [Main processing flow] FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the main operation of the second Web system 200. The business operator accesses the second Web system 200 using the business operator terminal 300, and requests account linkage with the first Web system 100. In response to the request, the second Web system (linkage setting unit) 200 displays the account linkage screen P1 (step S101; see FIG. 4).

[0038] Thereafter, the business operator performs operations required for account linking (e.g., inputting an ID and password, etc.) using the business operator terminal 300. When the second Web system (linking setting unit) 200 confirms that the login authentication is successful, it performs account linking (step S102). When the account linking is performed, the posted content of the first Web system 100 is linked to the restaurant content of the second Web system 200.

[0039] More specifically, the second Web system (acquisition unit) 200 first acquires posted contents from the first Web system 100 (step S103). The second Web system (first display control unit) 200 displays a list of the acquired posted contents on the store management screen P2 (step S104; see FIG. 5).

[0040] The business operator selects posted content to be displayed or hidden from the list of posted content displayed on the store management screen P2 using the business operator terminal 300. When the second Web system (reception unit, second display control unit) 200 receives the selection of posted content to be displayed or hidden (selection related to display) (step S106), it displays the posted content set for display together with the restaurant content of the business operator on the store disclosure screen P4 (step S107; see FIG. 7).

[0041] Thereafter, the second Web system 200 determines whether or not any of the posted contents has been selected from among the posted contents displayed on the shop disclosure screen P4, based on the presence or absence of a tap operation or the like (step S108).

[0042] If the second Web system 200 determines that no posted content has been selected (step S108; NO), it ends the process. On the other hand, if the second Web system (acceptor, second display controller) 200 determines that any posted content has been selected (step S108; YES), it displays the posted content enlarged screen P5 for the selected posted content (step S109; see FIG. 8) and ends the process.

[0043] When an operation to cancel the account linkage is performed by the business operator (for example, changing the setting of the account from public to private), the second Web system 200 cancels the linkage with the first Web system 100 in accordance with the operation.

[0044] As described above, according to this embodiment, when the accounts of the first web system and the second web system are linked, the business operator can freely select the posted content to be displayed or hidden from each user. This enables the system linkage to reflect the business operator's intentions more than ever before.

[0045] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment and modified examples, and can be implemented in various other forms without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above-mentioned embodiment and modified examples are merely examples in all respects and should not be interpreted as being restrictive. For example, the above-mentioned processing steps can be arbitrarily changed in order or executed in parallel as long as there is no contradiction in the processing content. Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to a system that provides content related to restaurants, but can be applied to a system that provides content related to any product or service.
