Yes.

[0023] 1.3 Information processing device 3 FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the information processing device 3. The information processing device 3 includes a communication unit 31, a storage unit 32, and a control unit 33, and these components are electrically connected via a communication bus 30 inside the information processing device 3. For specific descriptions of the communication unit 31, the storage unit 32, and the control unit 33, refer to the descriptions of the communication unit 21, the storage unit 22, and the control unit 23.

[0024] 2. Functional configuration In the second section, the functional configuration of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 4 is a functional block diagram showing the functions of the information processing device 3. FIG. 5 shows an example of a GUI displayed by the sales terminal 2a or the user terminal 2b. By specifically realizing the information processing by software (stored in the storage unit 32) by hardware (the control unit 33), it can be executed as each functional unit included in the control unit 33.

[0025] Specifically, the control unit 33 (information processing apparatus 3) includes, as each functional unit, a content reception unit 331, a purchase reception unit 332, a content provision unit 333, a generation unit 334, and a sales condition setting unit 335.

[0026] The content reception unit 331 is configured to receive the first content 4a from the sales terminal 2a. Specifically, the first content 4a created in the sales terminal 2a is transmitted to the information processing apparatus 3, and the content reception unit 331 in the information processing apparatus 3 receives it.

[0027] The first content 4a is, for example, a photo, a video, an audio, an illustration, etc. The first content 4a is preferably a photo or a video in which the figure of the seller S himself / herself is reflected, but is not limited thereto, and may be a logo or an illustration depicting the seller S himself / herself, or may be the voice of the seller S. Also, the first content 4a is preferably created by the seller S himself / herself, but may also be created by a third party other than the seller S. Specifically, for example, it may be a photo or a video that the seller S requests a cameraman to take and is taken by the cameraman, or a photo or a video that the staff of the office to which the seller S belongs takes, or a painting that the seller S requests a caricaturist or an illustrator to draw his / her caricature and such caricaturist or illustrator draws may be used as the first content 4a.

[0028] Also, when the seller S transmits the first content 4a to the information processing apparatus 3, it is preferable that the seller S can set the start time of receiving the purchase application by the user U via the sales terminal 2a. Specifically, for example, when the seller S transmits the first content 4a to the information processing apparatus 3 on March 2, 2020, it may be set that the first content 4a is displayed on the user terminal 2b on March 4, 2020.

[0029] The generation unit 334 is configured to be able to generate first visual information that can be viewed from the user terminal 2b. The first visual information includes the first content 4a and a message input field. Further, the visual information includes a screen or an image displayed in a manner visible to the user U, and includes rendering information for causing the user U to display the image or the image in a visible manner. Specifically, the first content 4a received by the content reception unit 331 is displayed on the display unit 24 of the user terminal 2b in a manner viewable from the user terminal 2b. According to the example of FIG. 5, the name of the seller S and the first content 4a related to the seller S are displayed on the display unit 24 of the user terminal 2b together with the profile image IC1 representing the seller S. The message input field will be described later.

[0030] The purchase reception unit 332 is configured to receive a purchase application for the first content 4a received by the content reception unit 331 from the user terminal 2b. FIG. 6 is an example of a purchase application screen for the first content 4a. According to the example of the figure, the first content 4a is displayed on the user terminal 2b in a manner that can be purchased. Thereby, the user U can purchase the first content 4a on such a screen. The first content 4a shown in FIG. 6 is sold by the creator X, and such first content 4a was transmitted to the information processing apparatus 3 at 10:00 on March 4, 2020. The user U operating the user terminal 2b can transmit a purchase application to the information processing apparatus 3 by selecting the purchase button IC4. It is preferable that when the user U selects any one of the photos A to D shown in FIG. 5, the screen transitions to a purchase application screen (FIG. 6).

[0031] On the purchase application screen, it is preferable that a comment 41 input by the seller S is displayed together with the first content 4a, and it is more preferable that the comment 41 pertains to the first content 4a. According to such a configuration, the user U can make a purchase application after understanding information regarding the first content 4a, such as when the first content 4a was created. Specifically, for example, the first content 4a shown in FIG. 6 is a photo of the creator X and was taken immediately after the creator X appeared in his own live show. Also, a comment saying "Thank you for the live show!" is displayed around the first content 4a. Thereby, the user U can make a purchase application after understanding that the first content 4a is a photo immediately after the live show of the creator X.

[0032] Also, when the user U makes a purchase application, it is preferable that a message input field is displayed on the user terminal 2b. The message input field is an input field in which the user terminal 2b can arbitrarily input a message for the first content 4a. According to such a configuration, when the user U makes a purchase application for the first content 4a, the user U can input a message for the first content 4a using the input unit 25. Such a message is preferably a request to the seller S when the seller S creates the second content 4b, but is not limited to this, and may also be a support message from the user U to the seller S. Note that the second content 4b will be described later.

[0033] The content providing unit 333 is configured to provide the second content 4b to the user terminal 2b after the purchase receiving unit 332 receives the purchase application. Specifically, when the content providing unit 333 receives a purchase application from the user terminal 2b, the second content 4b is created by the seller S operating the sales terminal 2a, and after the content receiving unit 331 receives this, it is transmitted to the user terminal 2b via the network.

[0034] When the sales terminal 2a receives a purchase application for the first content 4a from the user U, information about the purchaser is displayed on the sales terminal 2a. FIG. 7 shows an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 24 of the sales terminal 2a. According to the example in the figure, information about the purchaser is displayed together with an image showing the purchased first content 4a. In FIG. 7, the purchasers who purchased the first content 4a are aaa, bbb, ccc, and ddd, and the purchase dates and times are March 7, 2020, March 6 of the same year, March 6 of the same year, and March 5 of the same year, respectively. Although not shown in FIG. 7, as information about the purchaser, it is preferable that a message input by the purchaser when applying for the purchase of the first content 4a is displayed together with the name of the purchaser.

[0035] It is preferable that information about the seller S who sold the first content 4a is displayed on the screen displayed on the sales terminal 2a together with information about the purchaser of the first content 4a sold by the seller S. According to the example in FIG. 7, the name or stage name of the creator who is the seller S, the email address of the seller S, the organization to which the seller S belongs, the number of people who follow the seller S, and the number of people who are set to be notified when the seller S starts selling the first content 4a are displayed. In addition, it is preferable that a list of the second content 4b delivered so far and the sales results of the first content 4a by sales are displayed on the screen displayed on the sales terminal 2a.

[0036] When the purchase application for the first content 4a is received from the user U, the second content 4b is created. The second content 4b is obtained by processing the first content 4a. The mode of processing the first content 4a is not particularly limited, but it is more preferable that the processing is performed so as to describe the name or nickname of the purchaser. FIG. 8 is an example of the second content 4b. According to the example of the figure, the purchaser of the second content 4b shown in FIG. 8 is aaa, and such second content 4b is obtained by processing the first content 4a (FIG. 6). In the second content 4b shown in FIG. 8, as a message 43 to the purchaser, a message "To Mr. aaa" and "Thank you always!" including the name 42 of the purchaser, which is "aaa", is added. Note that the second content 4b is preferably created on the sales terminal 2a operated by the seller S.

[0037] Furthermore, it is more preferable that the second content 4b is obtained by processing the first content 4a based on the message described by the purchaser. For example, when the user U makes a purchase application for the first content 4a and inputs a message "Since I am taking an exam this year, please cheer me on!" as a message for the first content 4a, it is preferable that the creator of the second content 4b creates the second content 4b with a message such as "Do your best in the exam!" based on such message.

[0038] When the creation of the second content 4b is completed on the sales terminal 2a, the second content 4b is transmitted from the sales terminal 2a to the information processing device 3. The means for transmitting the second content 4b to the information processing device 3 is not particularly limited. For example, by selecting the delivery button IC5, it may be configured to transmit the second content 4b stored in the user terminal 2b (FIG. 7). Note that it is preferable that the seller S creates the second content 4b within several days after receiving the purchase application from the user terminal 2b and transmits it to the information processing device 3. Thereby, the user U who has purchased the first content 4a can obtain the second content 4b without waiting for a long time.

[0039] When the content reception unit 331 receives the second content 4b from the sales terminal 2a, the received second content 4b is provided to the user terminal 2b. The method of providing the second content 4b is not particularly limited, but the second content 4b may be transmitted attached to a message such as an email, SMS, or chat to the user terminal 2b, or by an operation of the user U, the second content 4b may be downloaded from the information processing apparatus 3 or another server to the user terminal 2b.

[0040] The sales condition setting unit 335 is configured to be able to set the sales conditions of the first content 4a. Here, the sales conditions include the sales quantity 5a of the first content 4a per seller S that can be sold every predetermined period or the types of the first content 4a per seller S that can be sold every predetermined period. Specifically, for example, a condition may be set that the first content 4a that the seller S can sell is up to 3 types per day. Specifically, for example, it may be 1, 2, or 3 types, and it may also be within the range between any two of the numerical values exemplified here. Also, a condition may be set that the sales quantity 5a of the first content 4a that the seller S can sell is up to 3 copies per type of the first content 4a. Specifically, for example, it may be 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 types, and it may also be within the range between any two of the numerical values exemplified here. Note that such sales conditions can be set arbitrarily and can be changed. For example, it may be set that up to 3 types of the first content 4a can be sold per week, or it may be set to increase the types and sales quantity 5a of the first content 4a that can be sold only during the event period.

[0041] By setting the sales conditions as described above, the preciousness of the first content 4a is increased, and more original content can be provided to the user U. At the same time, various burdens that occur when the seller S provides the second content 4b to the user U, specifically, the working time for selling the first content 4a and the working time for creating the second content 4b can be prevented from being long, and the seller S can provide the second content 4b to the user U without being restricted for a long time due to various operations. It is possible.

[0042] The generation unit 334 is configured to be able to generate first visual information displayed in a manner that the user terminal 2b cannot purchase the first content 4a exceeding the set sales quantity 5a. Examples of the first visual information displayed in a manner that the user terminal 2b cannot purchase include, for example, those shown in FIG. 6. According to the example in the figure, the sales quantity 5a of the first content 4a shown in FIG. 6 is set to 5 copies, and 2 of them have already been purchased by the user U operating the user terminal 2b. As a result, the purchasable quantity 5b of the user U is 3 copies. That is, it is shown that the user terminal 2b cannot purchase the first content 4a in a quantity exceeding 5 copies (FIG. 6).

[0043] The generation unit 334 is configured to be able to generate second visual information viewable from the sales terminal 2a. Here, the second visual information includes the number of followers or the number of notification settings. The number of followers represents the number of followers who follow the seller S, and the number of notification settings represents the number of notification targets among the followers who follow the seller S and are notified by the content reception unit 331 that the first content 4a has been received. According to such a configuration, when selling the first content 4a, the seller S can not only grasp the approximate number of people who may purchase the first content 4a, but also predict the speed at which the first content 4a will be purchased. Although it is preferably configured such that the number of followers and the number of notification settings are not displayed on the user terminal 2b, it is not limited thereto, and it may be configured to be displayed on the user terminal 2b.

[0044] User U can follow seller S by selecting the follow icon IC3. Also, user U can set it so that when seller S starts selling the first content 4a, a notification is sent to user terminal 2b that user U operates by selecting the notification icon IC2. Examples of the follow icon IC3 and the notification icon IC2 are as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, for example. In the examples of FIGS. 5 and 6, the notification icon IC2 and the follow icon IC3 are displayed around the creator name. User U can select the notification icon IC2 or the follow icon IC3 by operating user terminal 2b to follow an arbitrary seller S or receive a notification about the start of the sale of the first content 4a by seller S.

[0045] The content reception unit 331 of the information processing apparatus 3 is configured not to receive the first content 4a in excess of the set type from the sales terminal 2a. Specifically, for example, when the condition is set that up to 3 types of the first content 4a can be sold per day per seller S, seller S cannot sell 4 or more types of the first content 4a per day.

[0046] The sales condition setting unit 335 is configured such that the sales terminal 2a can arbitrarily set, for example, the sales price of the first content 4a. According to such a configuration, seller S who operates the sales terminal 2a can freely set how much to sell the first content 4a for. According to the example of FIG. 6, the sales price of the first content 4a set by seller S is 2000 yen. Also, the generation unit 334 is configured to be able to generate a purchase screen for the first content 4a including the set sales price. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, it is configured such that the sales price set by seller S is displayed on user terminal 2b together with the image representing the first content 4a.

[0047] The sales terminal 2a includes at least one slave terminal and one master terminal. Here, the master terminal is associated with at least one or more slave terminals. Specifically, for example, when the seller S belongs to an office, the information processing device 3 manages the sales terminal 2a operated by the seller S as a slave terminal, manages the sales terminal 2a operated by the staff of the office to which the seller S belongs as a master terminal, and is configured to manage such slave terminals and master terminals in association with each other. It is preferable that there are a plurality of slave terminals associated with the master terminal, but there may be one, and the slave terminal and the master terminal may be the same terminal.

[0048] Here, it is preferable that the sales condition setting unit 335 is configured such that the slave terminal can set sales conditions within the range of the sales conditions set by the master terminal. Specifically, for example, in the master terminal, when the selling price of the first content 4a that the seller S can sell is set to be 1000 yen or more and 5000 yen or less, it is preferable that the seller S who operates the slave terminal associated with such master terminal is set to be able to set the selling price of the first content 4a within such range. 1000 yen or more and 5000 yen or less specifically means, for example, 1000, 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500, 1600, 1700, 1800, 1900, 2000, 2100, 2200, 2300, 2400, 2500, 2600, 2700, 2800, 2900, 3000, 3100, 3200, 3300, 3400, 3500, 3600, 3700, 3800, 3900, 4000, 4100, 4200, 4300, 4400, 4500, 4600, 4700, 4800, 4900, 5000 yen, and it may be within the range between any two of the numerical values exemplified here.

[0049] In addition, the sales condition setting unit 335 may be configured to determine the sales conditions of the slave terminal based on the sales conditions set by the master terminal. For example, when the master terminal sets the sales quantity per type of the first content 4a to 10 sheets, the sales quantity per type of the first content 4a that can be sold by the slave terminal associated with such a master terminal is preferably set to up to 10 sheets.

[0050] The content reception unit 331 is preferably configured not to receive the first content 4a from a slave terminal not associated with the master terminal. According to such a configuration, the staff of the office to which the seller S who operates the master terminal belongs can accurately grasp and manage the sales act of the first content 4a by the seller S belonging to their own office.

[0051] 3. Usage method of the system 1 In the third section, an example of the usage method (information processing method) of the system 1 will be described.
