The information processing device 10 includes a storage unit 110, an acquisition unit 120, and a display control unit 130. The storage unit 110 can be implemented using a storage device 72 included in the information processing device 10. The acquisition unit 120 and the display control unit 130 can be implemented by a control device 75 included in the information processing device 10 executing a program stored in the storage device 72. The program can be stored in a storage medium. The storage medium storing the program may be a non-transitory computer-readable medium. The non-transitory storage medium is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a storage medium such as a universal serial bus (USB) memory or a compact disc read-only memory (CD-ROM).

[0016] <Storage means> The storage unit 110 has a function of storing images corresponding to each of a plurality of predetermined images for each of a plurality of wedding halls. For example, the storage unit 110 stores images submitted by a submitter for each image of a wedding hall in association with the image.

[0017] In this disclosure, "image" includes terms that describe the impression that a couple, guests, etc. have of a wedding ceremony or wedding venue. Examples of images of weddings and wedding venues include, but are not limited to, gorgeous, homey, lively, elegant, simple, small group, large group, sophisticated, Japanese style, etc. Multiple images can be defined for each wedding venue, regardless of the attributes of the wedding venue or venue information. In this embodiment, multiple images are defined in advance, and images corresponding to each of the multiple images are stored for each wedding venue, so that wedding venue information corresponding to each image is provided to the user.

[0018] For example, if image A, image B, and image C are defined for wedding venue X, the storage means 110 stores an image of wedding venue X corresponding to image A, an image of wedding venue X corresponding to image B, and an image of wedding venue X corresponding to image C. Here, when the user selects image B, the image of wedding venue X stored in association with image B is displayed on the user terminal device 20.

[0019] In one embodiment, for each wedding venue, two or more images corresponding to each image are stored.

[0020] In one embodiment, a common image is predefined for multiple wedding venues. Images corresponding to each image are then stored for each of the multiple wedding venues. For example, images A, B, and C are predefined for wedding venue X, and images A, B, and C are predefined for wedding venue Y.

[0021] In one embodiment, images are predefined for each wedding venue. For example, images A, B, and C are predefined for wedding venue X, and images A, C, D, and E are predefined for wedding venue Y.

[0022] In one embodiment, an image corresponding to each of a plurality of predetermined images is stored. For example, for wedding venue X, image A and image B are predetermined, and images A1 and A2 are stored as images of wedding venue X corresponding to image A, and images B1 and B2 are stored as images of wedding venue X corresponding to image B.

[0023] In one embodiment, images corresponding to some of the predetermined images are stored. For example, for wedding venue Y, image A and image B are predetermined, and images A1 and A2 are stored as images of wedding venue Y corresponding to image A, and the image of wedding venue Y corresponding to image B may not have been submitted yet.

[0024] In this disclosure, "search criteria" refers to instructions given for extracting wedding venues, and are composed of items related to the attributes of each wedding venue and venue information. For example, search criteria may be composed of items such as wedding ceremony style, venue location, budget, expected number of guests, etc.

[0025] <Acquisition method> The acquisition means 120 has a function of acquiring information about a wedding venue and an image of a wedding ceremony from a user. For example, the acquisition means 120 accepts input of information about an image expected of a wedding ceremony and a wedding venue input by a user.

[0026] In the present disclosure, "obtaining information" includes accepting input of information.

[0027] In one embodiment, the acquiring unit 120 acquires information about a predetermined image selected by a user from a plurality of predetermined images. For example, when image A, image B, and image C are predetermined and the user selects image C from image A, image B, and image C, the acquiring unit 120 acquires information about image C from the user.

[0028] In one embodiment, the acquisition means 120 acquires information about the image of the wedding venue from the user on a screen that displays a list of search results for wedding venues. The list of search results for wedding venues includes one or more wedding venues extracted based on predetermined search criteria. While retaining the one or more wedding venues that make up the search results, the acquisition means 120 can receive input of information about the image of the wedding venue from the user.

[0029] In one embodiment, the acquisition unit 120 acquires information about the image of the wedding venue from the user on a screen that displays details of a specific wedding venue included in the search results for wedding venues. The screen that displays the details of the wedding venue does not necessarily need to be included in the search results for wedding venues, and may be displayed on the user's terminal device by, for example, accessing a link that displays the screen of the details.

[0030] In one embodiment, the acquisition unit 120 can acquire information about the image of the wedding venue from the user while retaining the search criteria for extracting the wedding venue. This provides a mechanism that allows users to search for a wedding venue that matches their image, and is expected to efficiently attract users' attention.

[0031] In one embodiment, the acquisition unit 120 can repeatedly acquire information about wedding venues and wedding images from the user. For example, the user repeatedly inputs images by changing the selected image in a selection format, and the acquisition unit 120 acquires information about the image selected by the user each time.

[0032] <Display control means> When displaying an image of a wedding venue, the display control means 130 has a function of displaying an image corresponding to the image acquired from the user. For example, the display control means 130 displays search results related to wedding venues and details of the wedding venues using an image corresponding to the image input by the user.

[0033] In one embodiment, the display control means 130 switches images of wedding venues included in the list of search results to images corresponding to the image acquired from the user. For example, while retaining one or more wedding venues that make up the search results, the display control means 130 switches each image of the wedding venue included in the list screen of the search results to an image corresponding to the image entered by the user. For example, if the search results generated based on predetermined search criteria include wedding venue X, wedding venue Y, and wedding venue Z, the list of search results will include wedding venue X, wedding venue Y, and wedding venue Z. In this case, the list of search results will include images X1 and X2 of wedding venue X, images Y1 and Y2 of wedding venue Y, and images Z1 and Z2 of wedding venue Z. The display control means 130 switches images X1 and X2, images Y1 and Y2, and images Z1 and Z2 to images corresponding to the image entered by the user. For example, if wedding venues X, Y, and Z have common images of "simple" and "luxurious," and there are images X1a and X2a corresponding to the "simple" image of wedding venue X, images X1b and X2b corresponding to the "luxurious" image of wedding venue X, images Y1a and Y2a corresponding to the "simple" image of wedding venue Y, images Y1b and Y2b corresponding to the "luxurious" image of wedding venue Y, images Z1a and Z2a corresponding to the "simple" image of wedding venue Z, and images Z1b and Z2b corresponding to the "luxurious" image of wedding venue Z, then if the image selected by the user is "simple," the images included in the list of search results will be switched to images X1a and X2a for wedding venue X, images Y1a and Y2a for wedding venue Y, and images Z1a and Z2a for wedding venue Z.

[0034] In one embodiment, the display control means 130 switches an image of a wedding venue included in the details of a predetermined wedding venue to an image corresponding to the image acquired from the user. For example, multiple images of the wedding venue included in the details of the predetermined wedding venue are switched to an image corresponding to the image acquired from the user.

[0035] In one embodiment, the display control means 130 switches to and displays an image corresponding to the image acquired from the user every time information about the image is acquired.

[0036] 4.Operation An operation example of the information processing system 1 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0037] <Example of operation in Figure 4> FIG. 4 illustrates an example of the operation of the information processing device 10, the user terminal device 20, and the uploader terminal device 30. A person who creates content related to various wedding venues (sometimes referred to as a "submitter" in this disclosure) submits venue information for each wedding image (step S110). FIG. 5 is an illustration diagram for explaining the submission of content. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the uploader submits images of wedding venues for each piece of content to be submitted on the uploader terminal device 30 using the material management system B20 and the upload system B10. In the example of FIG. 5, there are two wedding images: "small group" and "lively and homey," and an image is submitted for each image. As shown in FIG. 5, the submitted images may be submitted as an image set including one or more main photos b120 and one or more sub-photos b130, for example, according to the priority of the association corresponding to the image. The example of the data submission system B10 shown in Figure 5 includes a default image set b110 that is displayed when no wedding image is selected, an image set b140 that is displayed when a "small number of people" is selected as the wedding image, and an image set b150 that is displayed when a "lively and homey" is selected as the wedding image.

[0038] When the submitter submits the content related to each wedding venue in this manner, the information processing device 10 stores, in the storage means 110, an image of the wedding venue for each image of the wedding ceremony.

[0039] Next, the user sets search conditions for extracting wedding venues on the user terminal device 20 (step S120), and searches for wedding venues by inputting the image of the wedding ceremony and wedding venue that the user wants to see (step S130). The wedding venue search AP then starts the search process according to the search conditions set by the user and queries the data submitted to the submission system. When the search process is complete, the search results are displayed on the user terminal device 20 (step S140). At this time, the search results are displayed so that the images of wedding venues included in the search results are the images submitted in correspondence with the images entered by the user in step S130. This allows the search results to include images that correspond to the image of the wedding ceremony and wedding venue that the user wants to see, making it possible to provide a system that enables users to find wedding venues that match their image, which is expected to efficiently attract users' attention.

[0040] <Example of operation in Figure 6> The information processing system 1 stores images corresponding to each of a plurality of predetermined images of the wedding venue (step S210). The information processing system 1 acquires information about the image of the wedding venue and the wedding ceremony from the user (step S220). When displaying the image of the wedding venue, the information processing system 1 displays the image corresponding to the image acquired from the user (step S230).

[0041] <Example of operation in Figure 7> The information processing system 1 stores images corresponding to each of a plurality of predetermined images of wedding venues (step S310). The information processing system 1 accepts settings of search conditions for extracting wedding venues (step S320). For example, a user sets search conditions based on items such as the wedding style, the expected number of guests, the location of the venue, and the budget. The information processing system 1 searches for wedding venues according to the set search conditions and displays a list of search results including the extracted wedding venues (step S330). Here, the user inputs an image by selecting an image of the desired wedding ceremony and wedding venue, and the information processing system 1 acquires information related to the image of the wedding venue entered by the user (step S340). The information processing system 1 then uses the display control means 130 to switch the image of the wedding venue included in the list of search results to an image corresponding to the image acquired from the user, and displays the list of search results (step S350).

[0042] <Example of operation in Figure 8> The information processing system 1 stores images corresponding to each of a plurality of predetermined images of wedding venues (step S410). The information processing system 1 accepts the setting of search conditions for extracting wedding venues (step S420). Here, the user inputs an image by selecting an image of the desired wedding ceremony or wedding venue, and the information processing system 1 acquires information related to the image of the wedding venue input by the user (step S430). Thereafter, when the user instructs a search, the information processing system 1 displays the list of search results so that the images of wedding venues included in the list correspond to the images input by the user (step S440).

[0043] <Example of operation in Figure 9> The information processing system 1 stores images corresponding to each of a plurality of predetermined images of wedding venues (step S510). The information processing system 1 then displays details of the wedding venue selected by the user (step S520). Here, the screen displaying the wedding venue details displays, for example, an image of the wedding venue, a catchy slogan, venue information such as cost and location, and the like. When the user inputs an image by selecting the desired wedding ceremony and wedding venue image on the screen displaying the details of the specified wedding venue, the information processing system 1 acquires information related to the wedding venue image input by the user (step S530). The information processing system 1 then switches the image included in the details of the specified wedding venue to an image corresponding to the image input by the user and displays it (step S540).

[0044] 5.Screen display 10 and 11, examples of screen displays of the information processing system 1 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure will be described. FIG. 10 shows an example of a screen A10 displayed as a result of a user searching for wedding venues on the user terminal device 20. In the example of FIG. 10, displays a120, a130, and a140 for inputting search criteria for extracting wedding venues are displayed below a display a110 that reads "Find a venue." Display 120 is a display for inputting search criteria such as the area, venue type, and wedding ceremony style. Display 130 is a display for inputting the number of guests at the wedding as a search criteria. Display 140 is a display for inputting search criteria by specifying whether or not a tag indicating a keyword associated with each wedding venue is present. In the example of FIG. 10, search results including the extracted wedding venues A and B are displayed below a display a150 that reads "Search results." In the example of FIG. 10, because the wedding image setting a160 is not set, a default image set is displayed for each wedding venue included in the search results. As shown in Fig. 10, a message a170 may be displayed indicating that a desired image can be input for comparison. Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 10, moving image a180 and still image a190 are displayed as images corresponding to wedding venue A, images corresponding to wedding venues may include moving images and still images. A display a200 may be provided for each wedding venue to allow registration as a favorite.

[0045] FIG. 11 shows an example of screen transitions when a user displays a screen displaying details of a specific wedding venue on user terminal 20 and selects an image on that screen. In the example of FIG. 11, screen B10 is shown displaying details of wedding venue A. A wedding image has not yet been set on screen B10 (b110), and a default image b120 and catchphrase b130 are displayed. If the user selects the wedding image, screen B20 is displayed displaying details of wedding venue A, with a field for inputting instructions to change the wedding image superimposed. Screen B20 displays a screen for the user to select a desired image, allowing the user to select an image. If the user selects the "gorgeous" image on screen B20, screen B30 is displayed displaying details of wedding venue A, including an image corresponding to the "gorgeous" image of wedding venue A. On screen B30, "gorgeous" has been selected as the wedding image (b310), and an image b320 and catchphrase b330 corresponding to the "gorgeous" image are displayed.
