DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] Hereinafter, examples of embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the various components in the examples of the embodiments described below can be combined as appropriate to the extent that no inconsistencies or the like arise. Furthermore, content described as an example of one embodiment may be omitted in other embodiments. Furthermore, the content of operations and processes unrelated to the characteristic parts of each embodiment may be omitted. Furthermore, the order of various processes constituting the various flows and sequences described below may be in any order to the extent that no inconsistencies or the like arise in the processing content.

[0013] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of a target processing system 100 corresponding to at least one embodiment of the present invention. The target processing system 100 includes a server 10 and a user terminal 20 used by a user of the target processing system 100. Each of the user terminals 20A, 20B, and 20C is an example of the user terminal 20. The configuration of the target processing system 100 is not limited to this. For example, the target processing system 100 may be configured such that multiple users use a single user terminal. The target processing system 100 may also include multiple servers. The user terminal 20 may perform the functions of the server 10.

[0014] The server 10 and the user terminal 20 are examples of computers. The server 10 and the user terminal 20 are each communicatively connected to a communication network 30 such as the Internet. The connection between the communication network 30 and the server 10 and the connection between the communication network 30 and the user terminal 20 may be a wired connection or a wireless connection. For example, the user terminal 20 may be connected to the communication network 30 by performing data communication with a base station managed by a telecommunications carrier via a wireless communication line.

[0015] The target processing system 100 includes a server 10 and a user terminal 20, and thereby realizes various functions for executing various processes in response to user operations.

[0016] The server 10 includes a processor 11, a memory 12, and a storage device 13. The processor 11 is, for example, a central processing unit such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) that performs various calculations and controls. If the server 10 includes a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), some of the calculations and controls may be performed by the GPU. The server 10 uses the data read into the memory 12 to execute various information processing operations using the processor 11, and stores the obtained processing results in the storage device 13 as necessary.

[0017] The storage device 13 functions as a storage medium for storing various types of information. The configuration of the storage device 13 is not particularly limited, but may be configured to store all of the various types of information required for control performed by the target processing system 100, from the viewpoint of reducing the processing load on the user terminal 20. Examples of such a configuration include an HDD and an SSD. However, the storage device for storing the various types of information only needs to have a storage area accessible by the server 10, and may be configured to have a dedicated storage area outside the server 10, for example.

[0018] The user terminal 20 is managed by a user. Examples of the user terminal 20 include a mobile phone terminal, a smartphone, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a personal computer, a tablet, a stationary game device, a portable game device, etc. The user terminal 20 may be VR goggles, AR glasses, smart glasses, AR contacts, or other wearable devices that can be operated by the user.

[0019] The user terminal 20 is equipped with hardware and software for connecting to the communication network 30 and performing various processes by communicating with the server 10. Each of the multiple user terminals 20 may be configured to be able to communicate directly with each other (peer-to-peer communication) without going through the server 10.

[0020] The user terminal 20 may have a built-in display device. The display device may also be connected to the user terminal 20 wirelessly or via a wire. Note that the display device is an extremely common configuration and is therefore not shown here. The display device is an example of an output device. When a user performs various information processing using the user terminal 20, a screen required for the information processing (information processing screen) is displayed as an image by the display device, and the user recognizes this image. The information processing screen is displayed, for example, on a display which is an example of a display device provided in the user terminal, or on a display which is an example of a display device connected to the user terminal.

[0021] The user terminal 20 includes a processor 21, a memory 22, and a storage device 23. The processor 21 is, for example, a central processing unit such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) that performs various calculations and control. Furthermore, if the user terminal 20 includes a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), some of the various calculations and control may be performed by the GPU. The user terminal 20 uses the data read into the memory 22 to execute various information processing in the processor 21, and stores the obtained processing results in the storage device 23 as necessary. The storage device 23 functions as a storage medium that stores various information.

[0022] The user terminal 20 may have a built-in input device. The input device may also be connected to the user terminal 20 wirelessly or via a wire. The input device accepts operational inputs from the user. In response to the operational inputs from the user, a processor provided in the server 10 or a processor provided in the user terminal 20 executes various control processes. Examples of input devices include touch panel screens provided on smartphones, tablets, etc., keyboards, mice, game pads, joysticks, and other controllers.

[0023] Additionally, the user terminal 20 may be equipped with other output devices such as a speaker, etc. The other output devices output sounds, vibrations, and various other types of information to the user.

[0024] In this embodiment, the communication network 30 includes a blockchain network 60. The blockchain network 60 is constructed by a plurality of nodes such as computers. As examples of the plurality of nodes, FIG. 1 shows nodes 6a, 6b, 6c, and 6d, each of which is a computer. These are merely examples, and the number of nodes does not have to be four. Note that the blockchain network 60 may be constructed as a network separate from the illustrated communication network 30.

[0025] A plurality of nodes 6a to 6d are typically interconnected in a peer-to-peer manner to form a blockchain network 60. A distributed ledger is stored in a storage device provided in each node. The server 10 or the user terminal 20 may be communicatively connected to the blockchain network 60. The server 10 or the user terminal 20 may function as a node included in the blockchain network 60.

[0026] 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a device 1 according to at least one embodiment of the present invention. The device 1 may be, for example, the server 10 or the user terminal 20 described above.

[0027] The device 1 includes a target information acquisition unit 101, a user information linking unit 102, a participating user identification unit 103, and a reward granting unit 104. The processor included in the device 1 refers to a target processing program stored in a storage device and executes the program to functionally realize the target information acquisition unit 101, the user information linking unit 102, the participating user identification unit 103, and the reward granting unit 104.

[0028] The target information acquisition unit 101 has a function of acquiring target information including information identifying a specific target. The user information linking unit 102 has a function of linking user information, which is information related to a user, with target information. The participating user identification unit 103 has a function of identifying a user corresponding to the user information linked to the target information who is involved in a transaction but not the user who performed the transaction when a transaction is concluded for an object corresponding to the target information. The reward granting unit 104 has a function of granting a specific reward to one or more users identified by the participating user identification unit 103.

[0029] FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating target information processing according to at least one embodiment of the present invention.

[0030] The target information acquisition unit 101 acquires target information including information that identifies a predetermined target (St101).

[0031] The user information linking unit 102 links the user information with the ticket information (St102). The user information linking unit 102 may link the published user information with the target information. The publication of the user information may be performed by the user associated with the user information, or by someone other than the user.

[0032] The participating user identification unit 103 identifies a user who is involved in the transaction but is not the user who performed the transaction, and corresponds to the user information linked to the target information (St103).

[0033] The reward granting unit 104 grants a predetermined reward to the identified one or more users (St104).

[0034] The predetermined object is a tangible or intangible object that can be linked to other information. For example, the predetermined object is a real-world item. Examples of real-world items include products such as shoes and books.

[0035] The predetermined object may be digital data, examples of which include image data, video data, and text data.

[0036] The predetermined object may be a ticket. The ticket may be a ticket indicating the right to use an item or a ticket indicating the right to use an intangible service. For example, a ticket to attend a concert or a ticket to stay at a hotel corresponds to a ticket indicating the right to use an intangible service. A ticket that is an exchange voucher for a product corresponds to a ticket indicating the right to use an item.

[0037] The ticket may be a physical item such as a paper ticket, or may be an electronic ticket made up of digital information.

[0038] When the predetermined object is a ticket, the ticket information corresponding to the object information includes information that identifies one or more tickets. For example, ticket information includes information including a ticket ID that uniquely identifies a ticket. The ticket information may include attribute information of the ticket, such as the date and time of the event, the venue, participating artists, ticket price, and information indicating the contents of goods or services that can be exchanged for the ticket.

[0039] The predetermined target may be a virtual object. An example of a virtual object is a virtual book that can be displayed in a virtual space. The virtual book may be 2D or 3D model data.

[0040] The predetermined target may be information that identifies the content of a right, a security, or a service. Specific examples of rights include, but are not limited to, patent rights, copyrights, and service usage rights. Information such as an identification ID that identifies the right and attribute values ​​that identify the content of the right corresponds to the target information.

[0041] The predetermined target is not limited to the specific example given above.

[0042] User information refers to information related to a user. User information may be attribute information such as the user's name, address, or user account name on a social networking site. User information includes, for example, information obtained in relation to the user. User information includes, for example, information entered, selected, or generated by the user. User information may include various types of information such as text, images, audio, and video. User information may also include information such as a 3D model in a virtual space.

[0043] User information input, selected, or generated by a user is information obtained as a result of a user's active action, such as input text actively entered by a user, information actively selected by a user, and information generated as a result of a user's action.

[0044] For example, a user may input text information via a keyboard or flick input on a smartphone. A user may select one or more images from a plurality of images. A user may generate user information by various methods, such as drawing a picture using drawing software, recording audio, or taking a live video. A user may generate user information using a generation AI.

[0045] User A adds his / her own user information to certain target information (e.g., ticket information) and discloses the target information with the added user information. Disclosing information means making the information available to others, for example, by posting the information on a website managed by the user, posting the information on a social networking service, or posting the information on a mailing list. In step St102, the user information linking unit 102 links the user information actively disclosed by the user to the target information.

[0046] The user information may be information obtained about a user, such as information obtained by obtaining information already associated with the user, for example, by automatically obtaining attribute information corresponding to a certain user account from an SNS server using an API, or information generated based on such information.

[0047] The information obtained about a user may be information obtained without the user's active action. For example, a person other than the user may input information about the user into various information processing systems, and such input information is also included in the information obtained about the user.

[0048] Linking user information with target information means making it possible to identify at least one piece of information from the other piece of information. For example, if the target is a ticket, adding a ticket ID contained in the ticket information to the user information corresponds to linking the user information with the target information (ticket information). In this case, the ticket information for the ticket can be identified from the ticket ID embedded in the user information, so the user information is linked with the target information. Also, registering a pair of information for identifying the target information and information for identifying the user information in a management table stored in a storage device also corresponds to linking the user information with the target information. User information may also be linked with the target information by other information processing.

[0049] A user involved in a transaction is a user who contributed to the transaction in some way.

[0050] An example of identifying a user involved in a transaction will be described. Assume that the predetermined target is a ticket. User A publishes information quoting ticket information on an SNS. This information publication triggers the user information linking unit 102 to link the user information of User A with the ticket information (St102). Suppose that User Z subsequently purchases a ticket corresponding to the ticket information after seeing the information published by User A. The user information linking unit 102 links the user information of User Z with the ticket information (St102). In the above case, a transaction has occurred in which User Z has purchased a ticket. User A published the information that caused the transaction to occur, and therefore is a user who contributed to the transaction. Therefore, when the transaction by User Z is concluded, the participating user identification unit 103 identifies a user who is involved in the transaction, but not the user who conducted the transaction, and who corresponds to the user information linked to the target information (St103). In this example, the participating user identification unit 103 identifies User A, who is already associated with the ticket information and who participated in the disclosure of the ticket information. User A is not User Z, who made the transaction.

[0051] The criteria for determining whether or not there is a contribution may be set appropriately by those skilled in the art.

[0052] The predetermined reward may be money, points, or the like, but may also be other rewards, such as the right to participate in a certain event.

[0053] [Multi-level linking of user information] The user information linking unit 102 may link one piece of target information with the user information of multiple users. The user information of multiple users may be linked in multiple stages. Multi-stage means that a certain piece of user information is linked with the target information with the user information of another user sandwiched therebetween. For example, when the target information and the user information of user A are already linked, the user information of user A is connected to the user information of user B. Furthermore, the user information of user C is connected to the user information of user B. In this way, the target information and the user information are linked in series to form multiple stages, such as target-user A (first stage)-user B (second stage)-user C (third stage). In this way, since the user information linked with the target information forms multiple stages, this is expressed as multi-stage linking.

[0054] Note that target information may be linked in parallel with the user information of multiple users. For example, target information may be directly linked with the user information of user A. The same target information may be directly linked with the user information of user B. In this case, the user information of two users is linked in parallel with a given target, such as user A-target-user B.

[0055] For example, assuming that the target is a ticket and the target information is ticket information, suppose that user A quotes the ticket information and publishes the ticket information on a social networking site with an advertisement written by user A.

[0056] The ticket information referred to here may include a URL or the like to identify a particular ticket. Let's say that User B publishes the ticket information on an SNS, either with or without adding a picture drawn by User B to the information published by User A. Note that users can publish the source information with their own information added, but they can also publish it without adding their own information. In this way, the original ticket information can be linked to the user information of multiple users, such as User A, User B, etc.

[0057] The user information associating unit 102 may associate user information related to the second user with target information to which user information related to the first user is associated. In the above example, the user information associating unit 102 associates ticket information to which user information about User A, the first user, is associated with user information about User B, the second user, in multiple stages. For example, the user information associating unit 102 may access user information published on the SNS via an API prepared in advance by the SNS, acquire the user information, and then associate the acquired user information with target information.

[0058] The linking between user information and target information may be performed so that user information relating to multiple users is arranged in a tree structure. The tree structure can also be interpreted as a state in which target information and user information are linked in multiple stages and in parallel. For example, if user A cites and publishes ticket information, which is target information, user D cites and publishes the ticket information, and user B and user C each cite and publish the information published by user A, the linking between the user information and target information is performed so as to form a tree structure such as that shown in FIG. 4. FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an example of a linking structure between user information and target information, corresponding to at least one embodiment of the present invention.

[0059] An example will be described in which the target is a ticket and the target information is ticket information. For example, the original ticket information is generated by an event promoter or an administrator of the target processing system 100. The first ticket information generated becomes the root node of the first layer in the tree structure. In FIG. 4, this root node is represented as node 1.

[0060] Suppose that user A quotes ticket information, adds user A's own content, and publishes it. This ticket information with user A's content becomes node 2-1 in the second layer of the tree structure. In node 2-1, the user information linking unit 102 links the ticket information with user A's user information. The linked user information may include the content added by user A.

[0061] Assume that user D quotes the ticket information, adds his / her own content, and publishes it. This ticket information with user D's content becomes node 2-2 in the second layer of the tree structure. In node 2-2, the user information linking unit 102 links the ticket information with user D's user information. The linked user information may include the content added by user D.

[0062] Suppose that user B quotes the ticket information published by user A and further adds and publishes content of user B. This ticket information with content of user B becomes node 3-1 in the third layer of the tree structure. In node 3-1, the user information linking unit 102 further links the user information of user B to the ticket information already linked with the user information of user A. The linked user information may include the content added by user B.

[0063] Suppose that user C quotes and publishes ticket information published by user A. However, user C does not add his own content, but simply quotes and publishes the ticket information published by user A. This ticket information quoted and published by user C becomes node 3-2 in the third layer of the tree structure. In node 3-2, the user information linking unit 102 further links user C's user information to the ticket information already linked to user A's user information.

[0064] The target processing system 100 may acquire user information periodically or whenever a user discloses information citing the target information, update the information representing the above tree structure, and store the updated information off-chain.

[0065] When the target processing system 100 is implemented on-chain using a blockchain, a smart contract that performs a process of adding user information that has made an information disclosure citing the target information to a token corresponding to a predetermined target such as a ticket is implemented in advance on the blockchain. The target processing system 100 may acquire user information periodically, or each time a user discloses information citing the target information, and may call the smart contract to add the acquired user information.

[0066] When the object processing system 100 links the object information with the user information in the manner described above, it becomes possible to appropriately manage the user relationships themselves, in which multiple users related to the object information are connected radially from the object information as the starting point. Here, the linking between the object information and the user information may be performed in multiple stages and in parallel. Therefore, if a given object is considered the zeroth stage, the number of related users will increase exponentially as the stages increase to the first, second, third, and so on. This exponentially increasing network of users, i.e., the distribution channel for goods and services, itself has great value, and such distribution channels can be appropriately managed.

[0067] Furthermore, since each exponentially linked user becomes an access point for other users who purchase new products or services, using the target processing system 100 of the present disclosure will result in an explosive increase in access points for providing users with specific targets.

[0068] Furthermore, after managing the relationships in a network in which the number of people increases exponentially by linking them as described above, the participating user identification unit 103 identifies the participating users included in the network. Then, the reward granting unit 104 grants a predetermined reward to one or more users identified by the participating user identification unit 103.

[0069] When a transaction for an object corresponding to the target information is concluded, the participating user identification unit 103 may identify a user who is involved in the transaction but is not the user who performed the transaction, and corresponds to the user information linked to the target information, from among the users included in the tree structure. More specifically, the participating user identification unit 103 may identify a user who is linked between the user who performed the transaction and the target information in the tree structure. In the example of FIG. 4, when user B, who viewed the public information by user A, purchases a ticket, the participating user identification unit 103 identifies user A (node ​​2-1), who is linked between user B (node ​​3-1) and the target information (node ​​1).

[0070] By configuring it as described above, whereas previously only monetary transactions of a specific object were visualized, it is now possible to visualize the value belonging to the people involved in the transaction, such as "who it was purchased from."

[0071] Furthermore, while multiple users may cite the target information in parallel at multiple stages, the target information and user information are linked in a tree structure, which makes it possible to identify which user in a node of the tree structure contributed to the transaction of the target.

[0072] Users A, B, C, etc. who quote and publish target information may be, for example, artists, influencers, etc. Users such as artists and influencers can "endorse" a specific target.

[0073] As described above, each embodiment of the present application solves one or more deficiencies. Note that the effects of each embodiment are non-limiting effects or examples of effects.

[0074] In each of the above-described embodiments, the user terminal 20 and the server 10 execute the above-described various processes in accordance with various control programs (e.g., target processing programs) stored in their own storage devices. Also, other computers, not limited to the user terminal 20 and the server 10, may execute the above-described various processes in accordance with various control programs (e.g., target processing programs) stored in their own storage devices.

[0075] Furthermore, the configuration of the target processing system 100 is not limited to the configuration described as an example of the above-mentioned embodiment. For example, a configuration may be adopted in which a server executes some or all of the processes described as processes executed by a user terminal, or a configuration may be adopted in which a user terminal executes some or all of the processes described as processes executed by a server. Also, a configuration may be adopted in which a user terminal includes some or all of the storage unit (storage device) included in a server. In other words, a configuration may be adopted in which the user terminal or server in the target processing system 100 includes some or all of the functions included in the other.

[0076] Furthermore, the program may be configured to cause a part or all of the functions described as examples of each of the above-mentioned embodiments to be realized by a single device that does not include a communication network.
