[0010] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0011] Figure 1 shows an overall picture of donation system 1. Symbol A is a supporter (or user) who makes a donation. Symbol B is a cooperating corporation or organization (hereinafter referred to as "cooperating corporation, etc.") that cooperates with donation system 1. This cooperating corporation, etc. B is also a service provider that provides services to supporter A. Symbol C is a donation management organization. Symbol D is a donation recipient organization such as the Japanese Red Cross Society.

[0012] 2 shows an example of the functional configuration of the donation management server 30 in the donation management organization C. The donation management server 30 includes a first reception unit 31, a second reception unit 32, a third reception unit 33, and a first management unit 34. Details of each functional unit will be described later.

[0013] 3 shows an example of the computer hardware configuration of the donation management server 30. The donation management server 30 includes a CPU 351, an interface device 352, a display device 353, an input device 354, a drive device 355, an auxiliary storage device 356, and a memory device 357, which are interconnected by a bus 358.

[0014] A program for realizing the functions of the donation management server 30 is provided by a recording medium 359 such as a CD-ROM. When the recording medium 359 on which the program is recorded is set in the drive device 355, the program is installed from the recording medium 359 via the drive device 355 into the auxiliary storage device 356. Alternatively, the program does not necessarily have to be installed by the recording medium 359, but can also be installed via a network. The auxiliary storage device 356 stores the installed program as well as necessary files, data, and the like.

[0015] The memory device 357 reads out and stores the program from the auxiliary storage device 356 when an instruction to start the program is received. The CPU 351 realizes the functions of the donation management server 30 according to the program stored in the memory device 357. The interface device 352 is used as an interface for connecting to other computers via a network. The display device 353 displays a GUI (Graphical User Interface) or the like according to a program. The input device 354 is a keyboard, a mouse, or the like.

[0016] Referring again to Figure 1, supporter A receives a service from cooperating corporation B (step ST1 in Figure 1), which then prompts him to make a donation through cooperating corporation B (step ST2). The donation is managed by donation management organization C, and is ultimately sent from donation management organization C to donation recipient organization D (step ST3). Each step is explained in detail below.

[0017] In step ST1, supporter A receives services from cooperating corporation B. Specific examples include the following. (1) Supporter A visits a restaurant, retail store, or other establishment operated by cooperating corporation B and receives services at the establishment. (2) Supporter A goes to a concert of a talent belonging to cooperating corporation B, which is a talent agency. (3) Supporter A goes to a certain place or commemorative spot provided by cooperating corporation B and receives the service. In receiving the service, Supporter A feels joy at the place and also feels the desire to "support" the disaster area at a park or other location in the disaster area.

[0018] In step ST2, supporter A is impressed by the service provided by cooperating corporation B in step ST1 and makes a donation as a result. In other words, supporter A's feeling of appreciation for the service provided by cooperating corporation B becomes a donation to recipient organization D through cooperating corporation B.

[0019] At the service provision location where cooperating corporation B provides services to supporter A, a pop advertisement 20 is set up to encourage supporter A, who has received the services, to make a donation to the charity organization D. A first identification code 21 and a second identification code 22 are written on this pop advertisement.

[0020] An example of the first identification code 21 is a QR code (registered trademark). The first identification code 21 includes URL information of an official website managed by the donation management organization C.

[0021] An example of the second identification code 22 is a six-digit identification code such as "113-777." The second identification code 22 is identification information for identifying the cooperating corporation B. The second identification code becomes part of the URL information of the original donation appeal website exclusively for the cooperating corporation B, which will be described later.

[0022] A specific example of step ST2 will be described. Supporter A reads the first identification code 21 using a supporter terminal (or user terminal) 10 such as a desktop computer or a portable terminal. Then, an official web page managed by donation management organization C is displayed on the display of the supporter terminal 10. Supporter A can register as a supporter with donation management organization C on this official web page. However, supporters can make donations regardless of whether they are registered as a member or not.

[0023] The supporter terminal 10 has the same computer hardware configuration as the donation management server 30 shown in FIG.

[0024] In step ST2, supporter A further inputs the second identification code 22 into the supporter terminal 10. The supporter terminal 10 accesses a webpage (a donation solicitation webpage exclusively for cooperating corporation B) with a URL that includes the input second identification code as a part of the webpage. If the second identification code 22 is "113-777", a donation solicitation webpage exclusively for cooperating corporation B with a URL of "https: / / www.smiledonation.org / place / angel / 113777" can be prepared in advance. As a result of inputting the second identification code, the donation solicitation webpage exclusively for cooperating corporation B is displayed on the display of the supporter terminal 10. Thereafter, supporter A inputs the donation amount on the webpage using the supporter terminal 10.

[0025] In this step, the first reception unit 31 (Figure 2) in the donation management server 30 receives the second identification code 22 (identification information of the cooperating corporation B, which is the service provider) entered into the supporter terminal 10 of the supporter who has received service from the cooperating corporation B.

[0026] The second reception unit 32 receives the donation amount resulting from the supporter A receiving the provision of the service from the service provider B, which is input to the supporter terminal 10.

[0027] The first management unit 34 associates the identification information of the service provider accepted by the first acceptance unit 31 with the donation amount accepted by the second acceptance unit 32, and manages the total amount of the donation amount for each service provider.

[0028] Donations can be paid by credit card. The donation is debited from the account of supporter A and transferred to the account of donation management organization C. As mentioned above, this donation is ultimately sent from donation management organization C to donation recipient organization D (step ST3). In other words, donations can be made cashlessly.

[0029] According to the donation system 1 as shown in FIG. 1, it is possible to link a service provider who provides a service at a cooperating corporation B with a supporter A. The service provider provides the service with a smile and in a spirit of hospitality. The cooperating corporation B can receive not only the payment for the service but also a donation to a donation destination organization D from the supporter A who has received the service from the cooperating corporation B.

[0030] The above embodiment is based on the idea of ​​using tipping, as seen in other countries, as a donation for disaster recovery in Japan, where disasters are frequent.

[0031] As another form of step ST1, supporter A can participate in events and SNS (social networking service) activities of talents belonging to cooperating corporation B, which is a talent agency, appearances in TV programs and programs including internet programs, and volunteer activities. In the following step ST2, supporter A can make a donation using the second identification code 22 presented at the site where step ST1 was performed. Alternatively, supporter A can view a video posted on a video posting site such as YouTube (registered trademark) (step ST1) and make a donation using the second identification code 22 presented by the poster in the video (step ST2). In other words, the second identification code 22 can also be a digital banner.

[0032] Also, donations can be made by entering a second identification code, eliminating the need to enter a bank account number, which is usually provided as a donation to the recipient organization D. This not only simplifies the donation process for supporter A, but also makes it easier for cooperating corporation B to collect donations from supporter A through itself.

[0033] [Other embodiments] The donation management server 30 may further include a third reception unit 33 that receives a message from the supporter A to the service provider B, which is input to the supporter terminal 10. The first management unit 34 manages the identification information of the service provider B received by the first reception unit 31, the donation amount received by the second reception unit 32, and the message received by the third reception unit 33 in association with each other.

[0034] Using such a donation management server 30, the donation management organization C can announce the total amount of donations made through each cooperating corporation, etc., and a message to the cooperating corporation, etc., on a website managed by the donation management organization C. This will motivate the cooperating corporation, etc. B to provide even more comprehensive services.

[0035] The first management unit 34 can be configured to determine whether the contents of the messages received by the third reception unit 33 are positive. Then, the first management unit 34 can continuously publish only the messages whose contents are determined to be positive on a web page managed by the donation management organization C (for example, an identified website of a cooperating corporation B that provides a service, or a profile introduction site for supporter A). This profile introduction page can be an open page that can be viewed by anyone and can be found in a web search.

[0036] In other words, this profile introduction page will be a dedicated SNS for SDGs that support will be provided by individual supporter A through donation recipient organization D. Here, SDGs stands for "Sustainable Development Goals." Additionally, SNS stands for "Social Networking Service."

[0037] The donation management server 30 may include a second management unit 35 that manages the donation history of the individual supporter A. The second management unit 35 manages the total amount of donations made by the supporter in the donation system 1 for each supporter. When a request is made from the supporter terminal 10, the total amount of donations made by the supporter A is displayed. FIG. 4 shows an example of a display D101 of the total amount of donations on the display DP of the supporter terminal 10. The second management unit 35 can also set levels according to the total amount of donations in advance, such as level 0 for a total donation amount of 99 yen or less, level 1 for 100 yen to 999 yen, level 2 for 1000 yen to 9999 yen, and so on, and display the level of the supporter together with the display D101 of the total amount of donations.

[0038] Furthermore, the second management unit 35 can also manage the total donation amount within a preset period, such as two years. Figure 4 also shows a display D102 of the total donation amount for the current period.

[0039] Furthermore, the donation management server 30 can also manage a plurality of groups each made up of a plurality of supporters A. One example is a group of supporters by prefecture according to the supporters' wishes.

[0040] Although a specific embodiment of the present invention has been described, the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment, and various modifications based on the technical concept of the present invention are included in the concept of the present invention.
