[0009] Hereinafter, several embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Various features shown in the following embodiments can be combined with each other. In addition, each feature can be an invention independently.

[0010] <1. First embodiment> (1-1. Granted value utilization system 1) An information processing device according to one embodiment of the present invention is a vote management server 10 constituting a part of an granted-value use system 1 as shown in Fig. 1. The granted-value use system 1 includes the vote management server 10, a user terminal 20, and a donation management server 30.

[0011] The vote management server 10 is configured to be able to communicate with the user terminal 20 and the donation management server 30 via the communication line 5. The vote management server 10 shares information on donations made by user U1 to organization G1 with the donation management server 30 of organization G1. The vote management server 10 also accepts votes for the results of competitions using the grant value granted by organization G1 by user U1. The vote management server 10 promotes donations to the organization by enabling votes to be made using the grant value granted in response to such donations. Each component will be described below.

[0012] (1-2. Hardware configuration of the granted value utilization system 1) The hardware configuration of the granted value utilization system 1 will be described with reference to Figs.

[0013] (1-2-1. Hardware configuration of the vote management server 10 and the donation management server 30) 2 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the vote management server 10 according to this embodiment. The vote management server 10 includes a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, and a communication unit 13. The vote management server 10 may also include an operation input unit 14, which is configured with a keyboard, a mouse, etc. and accepts input of various operations, and a monitor 15, such as a liquid crystal display device, for displaying various images.

[0014] The control unit 11 is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a microprocessor, a DSP (Digital Signal Processor), or the like, and controls the overall operation of the vote management server 10.

[0015] A part of the storage unit 12 is composed of, for example, a RAM (Random Access Memory) or a DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory), and is used as a work area when the control unit 11 executes processes based on various programs. In addition, a part of the storage unit 12 is, for example, a non-volatile memory such as a ROM (Read Only Memory) or an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), and stores various data and programs used in the processing of the control unit 11.

[0016] The programs stored in the memory unit 12 include, for example, an OS (Operating System) for realizing the basic functions of the voting management server 10, drivers for controlling various hardware, programs for realizing various functions, etc., and include the computer program related to this embodiment.

[0017] The communication unit 13 is, for example, a NIC (Network Interface Controller) and has a function of connecting to the communication line 5. Instead of or together with the NIC, the communication unit 13 may have a function of connecting to a wireless LAN (Local Area Network), a function of connecting to a wireless WAN (Wide Area Network), a function of enabling short-distance wireless communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark), and infrared communication, etc. The vote management server 10 is connected to other information processing devices such as a user terminal 20 via the communication line 5, and can transmit and receive various data to and from the other information processing devices, etc.

[0018] The control unit 11, storage unit 12, communication unit 13, operation input unit 14, and monitor 15 are electrically connected to one another via a system bus 16. Therefore, the control unit 11 can access the storage unit 12, display images on the monitor 15, grasp the operation state of the operation input unit 14 by the user, and access various communication networks and other information processing devices via the communication unit 13.

[0019] Like the vote management server 10, the donation management server 30 includes a control unit 31, a storage unit 32, and a communication unit 33, and may further include an operation input unit 34 and a monitor 35.

[0020] (1-2-2. Hardware Configuration of User Terminal 20) 3 is a block diagram showing a hardware configuration of a user terminal 20 according to this embodiment. The user terminal 20 is, for example, an information processing terminal such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal, and includes a control unit 21, a storage unit 22, and a communication unit 23. The user terminal 20 may also include a display unit 24 such as a touch panel display capable of displaying images and receiving operations, a speaker 25 that outputs sound, a microphone 26 to which sound is input, a camera 27 that captures an image of a subject, and an operation button 28. The following description will focus on the differences from the vote management server 10.

[0021] The operation buttons 28 are provided on the side of the user terminal 20, and include a power button for starting and stopping the user terminal 20, a button for adjusting the volume of the sound output by the speaker 25, and the like.

[0022] The control unit 21, storage unit 22, communication unit 23, display unit 24, speaker 25, microphone 26, camera 27, and operation buttons 28 are electrically connected to one another via a system bus 29. Therefore, the control unit 21 can access the storage unit 22, display images on the display unit 24, grasp the operation state of the touch panel display (display unit 24) and operation buttons 28 by the user, input sound to the microphone 26, output sound from the speaker 25, control the camera 27, and access various communication networks and other information processing devices via the communication unit 23.

[0023] (1-3. Functional configuration of the voting management server 10) 5, the control unit 11 of the vote management server 10 includes an granted value management unit 11a and a vote acceptance unit 11b. The control unit 11 may further include a payment processing unit 11c.

[0024] The granted value management unit 11a manages the granted value granted to the user U1 by the organization G1 based on the donation information from the user U1 to the organization G1. The vote acceptance unit 11b accepts votes for the results of the competition by the user U1 who used the granted value. The payment processing unit 11c pays a reward to the user U1 if the content of the vote is correct. The details of each function will be described later.

[0025] The above-mentioned functional configuration may be realized by software (including so-called apps) appropriately installed in the voting management server 10, or may be realized by hardware. When realized by software, various functions can be realized by the control unit 11 executing the programs that constitute the software.

[0026] When the program is executed, the program may be stored in the memory unit 12 built into the voting management server 10, or may be stored in a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium. The program may be read from an external storage device and implemented by so-called cloud computing. When the program is implemented by hardware, it may be implemented by various circuits such as ASIC, SOC, FPGA, or DRP. The above-mentioned functional configuration may be partially processed by software or hardware in the user terminal 20, etc.

[0027] (1-4. Functions of the granted value management unit 11a) The granted value management unit 11a is configured to manage the granted value granted to the user U1 from the organization G1 based on donation information from the user U1 to the organization G1.

[0028] The "organization" here refers to an organization that can accept a donation from the user U1 and provide value to the user U1 in accordance with the donation, and includes various organizations. An example of the organization G1 is a local government.

[0029] Furthermore, the "granted value" that is the value granted to user U1 by organization G1 is a value that can be used to vote for the results of the competition. Furthermore, the "granted value" may be a value that is subject to a usage restriction of "for voting for the results of the competition." Furthermore, the "value" referred to here may be cash, electronic money, virtual currency, or other coins, or may simply be points that can be used within a specific service.

[0030] Moreover, the "donation information" here refers to information regarding a donation made by user U1 to organization G1, including donor information such as identification information of user U1 who made the donation, donation amount, donation date, etc. Based on this donation information, organization G1 grants an added value to user U1, who is the donor.

[0031] In this way, if the grant value obtained based on donations can be used to vote on the competition results, donations from users who prefer to vote on the competition results will be encouraged, and organizations will be able to receive more donations.

[0032] The granted value management unit 11a may be configured to record the history of betting on the results of a competition in which the granted value was used by the user U1, and to manage the balance. The granted value management unit 11a may be configured to manage the summation of the granted value with other donations to the organization G1, the summation of the granted value with other donations to other organizations, and the like.

[0033] In the case where a usage deadline is set for the granted value by the organization G1 or the donation management server 30, etc., the granted value management unit 11a may be configured to manage the fluctuation of the total granted value held by the user U1 due to the lapse of the usage deadline. In addition, the granted value management unit 11a may be configured to manage the granted value so that it is used in order of the closest usage deadline.

[0034] (1-5. Functions of the vote acceptance unit 11b) The vote acceptance unit 11b accepts votes for the results of a competition by the user U1 who used the granted value from the user terminal 20, and records the accepted vote contents in the storage unit 12, etc. The competitions include various sports, such as races using bicycles, cars, boats, or racehorses, or baseball or soccer games.

[0035] In one embodiment, the award value is available in a designated arena depending on the group G1. In such a case, the vote acceptance unit 11b accepts votes using the award value for the results of the competition in the designated arena. In other words, the vote acceptance unit 11b cannot use the award value awarded by the group G1 for anything other than voting for the results of the competition in the designated arena. With this configuration, an increase in votes in the arena designated by the group can be expected.

[0036] For example, when the stadium where the competition for which user U1 is to vote is held is determined as one where the grant value granted by group G1 can be used, the granted value management unit 11a may be configured to set the grant value to a state where it can be used for voting, and the vote acceptance unit 11b may be configured to accept a vote using the grant value in the usable state. On the other hand, when the stadium where the competition for which user U1 is to vote is held is not determined as one where the grant value granted by group G1 can be used, the granted value management unit 11a may be configured to set the grant value to an unusable state for voting, and the vote acceptance unit 11b may be configured not to accept a vote using the unusable grant value.

[0037] If organization G1 is a local government, by designating stadiums in the area governed by the local government or stadiums managed by the local government as available stadiums, it is possible to expect an increase in votes at those stadiums, which will ultimately lead to regional development.

[0038] Furthermore, the vote acceptance unit 11b may be configured to be able to accept a vote amount obtained by adding an amount of a value different from the grant value to at least a portion of the grant value. With such a configuration, a user can use both the grant value and a value different from the grant value in a vote. In other words, the vote acceptance unit 11b can accept votes by user U1 using a flexible combination of the grant value and a value different from the grant value. The vote acceptance unit 11b may accept votes using only the grant value.

[0039] (1-6. Functions of the payment processing unit 11c) The payment processing unit 11c is configured to pay a reward to the user U1 when the content of the bet is correct. The payment processing unit 11c calculates the reward by multiplying the bet amount by a magnification factor set for the content of the bet. In other words, the reward is the amount to be paid back to the user when the content of the bet is correct. (The amount of the so-called "payout" in bicycle racing, horse racing, etc.) is the amount obtained by multiplying the bet amount by a multiplier set according to the content of the bet (the so-called fixed "odds" or "dividend rate" in bicycle racing, horse racing, etc.).

[0040] The payment processor 11c may be configured to pay the reward in a value different from the granted value. That is, when the user U1 votes using the points granted by the group G1, the payment processor 11c can pay the reward in real currency.

[0041] With this configuration, if a user wins a bet using the grant value with a usage restriction, the user can obtain a reward in the form of a value different from the grant value. In other words, the value different from the grant value obtained by the user by paying the reward does not need to be subject to the usage restrictions imposed on the grant value, and the user can use the value obtained as a reward for purposes other than voting on the results of the competition. Note that a different usage restriction may be imposed on the value different from the grant value obtained by the user by paying the reward.

[0042] The payment processing unit 11c may be configured to add a reward as a value held by the user within the service provided by the granted value utilization system 1. The payment processing unit 11c may also be configured to perform a process of transferring money to a bank account or the like of the user U1.

[0043] (1-7. Processing flow by the granted value utilization system 1) The flow from acquisition of donation information by the granted value utilization system 1 to payment of reward will be described with reference to FIG.

[0044] First, as shown in FIG. 6, when a donation is made by user U1, S305 is executed. In S305, the donation management server 30 acquires donation information. The donation information is mainly recorded in the memory unit 32 or the like of the donation management server 30 managed by the organization G1, but may be shared with the vote management server 10 or the like. The donation information may be automatically collected when the donation is accepted and acquired by the vote management server 10. Alternatively, the donation information may be configured such that an input operation for recording in the vote management server 10 is performed by an employee of the organization G1 or the like, and the vote management server 10 acquires the donation information.

[0045] Then, the organization G1 grants the grant value based on the donation information at the same time as the donation or within a considerable period thereafter. Information on the grant value granted to the user U1 by the organization G1 is recorded in the storage unit 32 of the donation management server 30.

[0046] The process for granting the granted value may be automatically performed by the donation management server 30 in accordance with predetermined conditions. Furthermore, the process for granting the granted value may be performed via the donation management server 30 by an operation of an organization's staff member or the like. In this manner, when the process for granting the granted value is performed using the donation management server 30, the donation management server 30 may acquire information on the granting of the granted value by a predetermined process. Furthermore, the information on the granted value may be configured to be acquired by the donation management server 30 after an input operation for recording in the donation management server 30 is performed by an organization G1's staff member or the like.

[0047] Next, S310 and S110 are executed. In S110, the granted value management unit 11a receives information on the granted value granted to the user U1 from the organization G1 transmitted by the donation management server 30 in S310, and records it in the storage unit 12 or the like. Then, the granted value management unit 11a starts managing the granted value granted to the user U1. The process including S110 and S120 described below is referred to as an granted value management step (S100).

[0048] The granted value management unit 11a may simultaneously acquire identification information of the user U1 and identification information of the organization G1 when acquiring information on the granted value from the donation management server 30. The granted value management unit 11a may store the identification information of the user U1 in association with the identification information of the organization G1 and the information on the granted value.

[0049] Next, S120 and S320 are executed. In S120, the vote acceptance unit 11b accepts votes for the results of the competition by the user U1 who used the granted value transmitted from the user terminal 20 in S220, and records the accepted vote contents in the memory unit 12, etc. At this time, the granted value management unit 11a records the usage history of the granted value and manages the balance.

[0050] After the end of the competition for which votes were accepted, S130 is executed. In S130, the payment processing unit 11c calculates the reward to be paid to the user U1 if the content of the vote is correct based on the result of the competition, and records the reward in the storage unit 12, etc. In addition, in S230, the payment processing unit 11c transmits information on the reward to be paid to the user U1 to the user terminal 20, and the user terminal 20 receives the information.

[0051] <2. Second embodiment> (2-1. Granted value utilization system 1 according to the second embodiment) The following describes an granted value utilization system 1 according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The granted value utilization system 1 in the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that it further includes a registration unit 11d, as shown in Fig. 7. The following description will focus on the differences.

[0052] In the second embodiment, the registration unit 11d registers the account information of user U1, and the granted value management unit 11a associates the account information with the granted value, so that user U1 can vote using the granted value even if the granted value is granted by organization G1 before creating an account for a service related to the granted value utilization system 1.

[0053] (2-2. Functional configuration of the voting management server 10) 7, the control unit 11 of the vote management server 10 includes an granted value management unit 11a, a vote acceptance unit 11b, and a registration unit 11d. The control unit 11 may further include a payment processing unit 11c.

[0054] (2-3. Functions of the registration unit 11d) The registration unit 11d is configured to register account information of the user U1. For example, the registration unit 11d receives a request for account creation by the user U1 and information about the user U1 transmitted from the user terminal 20. Then, the registration unit 11d creates an account for the service related to the granted value utilization system 1, records the account information of the user U1 in the storage unit 12 or the like, and performs a registration process.

[0055] (2-4. Functions of the granted value management unit 11a) The granted value management unit 11a is configured to register the account information of the user U1, and then manage the granted value in association with the account information of the user U1, based on information on the record of the granted value granted to the user U1 by the organization G1. With this configuration, even if the voting management server 10 acquires the user information after the granted value has been granted, the user can use the granted value for voting.

[0056] Here, the "information on the record of the granted value" is information that serves as the basis for associating the user U1 identified by the server account information held by the voting management server 10 with the "record of the granted value" for the user U1 held by the donation management server 30. The granted value management unit 11a can obtain information on the granted value by inquiring about the record of the granted value from the donation management server 30 based on the information on the record of the granted value, and can associate the granted value with the account information of the user U1.

[0057] An example of information that can serve as the basis for the association is information written on a certificate issued by organization G1 at the time of grant. The information written on the donation certificate is a character string that can identify the record of the granted value, or a barcode or two-dimensional barcode created based on such a character string.

[0058] An example using a two-dimensional code will be described with reference to Fig. 8. The user terminal 20 uses the camera 27 to read the two-dimensional code 42 printed on the donation certificate 40. The user terminal 20 transmits the information on which the association is based, obtained by the user's reading, to the vote management server 10 as information on the record of the granted value. Then, the granted value management unit 11a of the vote management server 10 inquires of the donation management server 30 about the record of the granted value based on the information on the record of the granted value.

[0059] Another example of the information that serves as the basis for the association is information such as a My Number that can uniquely identify the user U1. When both the voting management server 10 and the donation management server 30 have information such as a My Number, the granted value management unit 11a can associate the granted value with the account information of the user U1 based on such information.

[0060] The donation information may also include information for checking the record of the granted value based on information about the record of the granted value.

[0061] (2-5. Processing flow by the granted value utilization system 1) The flow from acquisition of donation information by the granted value utilization system 1 to payment of reward will be described with reference to FIG.

[0062] 9, after the user U1 makes a donation and S305 is executed and the organization G1 grants the grant value, account information registration steps S140 and S240 are executed. In S140, based on the account creation request (S240) sent from the user terminal 20, the registration unit 11d registers the account information of the user U1.

[0063] Next, S250, S150, and S350 are executed. In S150, the granted value management unit 11a inquires about the record of the granted value to the donation management server 30 based on the information on the granted value record transmitted from the user terminal 20 in S250. Then, the granted value management unit 11a receives the record of the granted value transmitted from the donation management server 30 in S350, and starts managing the granted value in association with the account information of the user U1.

[0064] In addition, the donation management server 30 may be configured to transmit user identification information and information regarding the granted value to the voting management server 10 when the granted value is granted by the organization G1 before an inquiry is made from the granted value management unit 11a.

[0065] Thereafter, S100 (i.e., S110 and S120), S130, etc. are executed.

[0066] <3. Other embodiments> Although the embodiment and its modified examples of the present invention have been described above, application of the present disclosure is not limited to the above-mentioned contents.

[0067] For example, in the above embodiment, the functions are mainly provided by the voting management server 10, but some functions may be provided by the user terminal 20 or the donation management server 30, or may be provided by all of the voting management server 10, the user terminal 20, and the donation management server 30.

[0068] In addition, information processing devices such as the voting management server 10 may include not only devices consisting of a single physical unit, but also devices in which multiple devices are connected to each other in a wired or wireless manner so as to function essentially as a single information processing device.

[0069] Moreover, each step described in the above embodiment as being executed by the vote management server 10 can also be executed by the user terminal 20 or the donation management server 30.

[0070] The granted value management unit 11a may store the identification information of the organization and the identification information of the stadium in association with each other. Such association information can be used to determine the stadium where the granted value granted by the organization can be used.

[0071] Various embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but these are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The novel embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, substitutions, and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
