Therefore, the electronic leaflet distribution server 100 extracts an electronic leaflet in which the group ID of the group including the advertisement source store matches one of the point grant group IDs from the electronic leaflets included in the list.
Next, the electronic leaflet distribution server 100 further executes the following processing for the electronic leaflet extracted as matching with any of the point grant group IDs. That is, the electronic flyer distribution server 100 is the same distribution target area as the distribution target area designated by the user of the terminal device 300 that is the transmission destination of the electronic flyer list data (referred to herein as “user-specified distribution target area”). Extract electronic leaflets that have been set. The electronic leaflet distribution server 100 specifies the electronic leaflet extracted as described above as a browsing point grant target.
Then, the electronic leaflet distribution server 100 sets a value (for example, flag “1”) indicating that a mark is attached to the mark attachment flag corresponding to the electronic leaflet specified as the browsing point assignment target among the electronic leaflets included in the list. Set. In addition, the electronic leaflet distribution server 100 has a value indicating that no mark is attached to a mark attachment flag corresponding to another electronic leaflet that is not specified as a browsing point assignment target among electronic leaflets included in the list (for example, flag “ 0 ”) is set.

  For example, the user performs a selection operation by touching the thumbnail image thn on which the point grant target mark mk is displayed via the operation unit 305 on the electronic leaflet list screen illustrated in FIG. In response to the operation of selecting the thumbnail image thn, the terminal device 300 transmits an electronic leaflet distribution request (including the leaflet ID) corresponding to the selected thumbnail image thn to the electronic leaflet distribution server 100. At this time, when the user is logged in to the portal site of the customer management server 200, the terminal device 300 transmits an electronic leaflet distribution request (including the leaflet ID) and the common user ID to the electronic leaflet distribution server 100. On the other hand, when the user has not logged in to the portal site of the customer management server 200, the terminal device 300 does not transmit the common user ID, but transmits an electronic leaflet distribution request (including the leaflet ID) to the electronic leaflet distribution server 100. .

  The electronic leaflet distribution server 100 executes the viewing point assignment determination when receiving the electronic leaflet distribution request and the common user ID from the terminal device 300, and distributes the electronic leaflet among the electronic leaflet distribution request and the common user ID. When only the request is received, the electronic leaflet data of the electronic leaflet requested for distribution and the login request message are transmitted to the terminal device 300 of the user who is the distribution request source.

When receiving the electronic leaflet data transmitted from the electronic leaflet distribution server 100 and the determination result that the viewing point should be given, the terminal device 300 changes the electronic device of FIG. 8B from the display of FIG. While switching to the display of the image of the electronic leaflet transmitted from the leaflet distribution server 100, the notification image inf1 (pop-up image) of “point acquisition !!” is superimposed and displayed on the image of the electronic leaflet.
By looking at the notification image inf1 displayed on the display unit 304 of the terminal device 300, the user can confirm that points have been generated by browsing the electronic leaflet this time. Note that the terminal device 300 can erase the notification image inf1 by, for example, the user performing a touch operation on the notification image inf1. In addition, the terminal device 300 can delete the pop-up image after a predetermined time has elapsed (for example, 5 seconds) after the pop-up image is displayed.

Further, when the electronic flyer distribution server 100 determines that the browsing point should not be granted, when the electronic flyer is transmitted together with the determination result including the information indicating that the reason for not giving the point has been acquired, the terminal device 300 The display of FIG. 8A is switched to the display of the image of the electronic leaflet transmitted from the electronic leaflet distribution server 100 of FIG. 8C, and the notification image of “points already acquired” is displayed for the image of the electronic leaflet. inf2 (pop-up image) is displayed.
By looking at the notification image inf2 displayed on the display unit 304 of the terminal device 300, the user can confirm that no points are generated because the electronic leaflet browsed this time has already been browsed.

Further, when receiving the electronic leaflet data and the login request signal transmitted from the electronic leaflet distribution server 100, the terminal device 300 starts from the display of FIG. 8A and from the electronic leaflet distribution server 100 of FIG. While switching to the display of the transmitted electronic flyer image, the notification image inf3 (pop-up image) of “Please log in” is superimposed and displayed on the screen of the electronic flyer.
By looking at the notification image inf3 displayed on the display unit 304 of the terminal device 300, the user can confirm that login to the portal site of the customer management server 200 is requested. When the user performs a touch operation on the login display of the notification image inf3, a screen that allows the user to input each item of “user ID” and “password” from the display of the notification image inf3 in FIG. Is displayed.

  When the login to the portal site is performed, the electronic leaflet distribution server 100 executes the browsing point grant determination based on the common user ID stored in association with the user ID of the logged-in user, and according to the determination result. The screen of FIG. 8B or FIG. 8C is displayed on the display unit 304.

Next, a procedure example for sharing a common user ID among the customer management server 200, the electronic leaflet distribution server 100, and the terminal device 300 will be described with reference to the sequence diagram of FIG.
In order to log in to the portal site of the customer management server 200, for example, the user operates an electronic leaflet browsing application on the terminal device 300 and performs an operation for logging in to the portal site.
In response to the login operation, the electronic leaflet browsing processing unit 302 of the terminal device 300 accesses the customer management server 200 via the electronic leaflet distribution server 100, for example, and transmits a login request to the portal site ( Step S101).
As described above, the login request transmitted from the terminal device 300 includes the user ID managed by the electronic flyer distribution server 100, the user ID (user account) necessary for authentication at the portal site of the customer management server 200, and the password. Information required for login authentication is included.

In response to receiving the login request transmitted from the terminal device 300 in the process of step S101, the portal site providing unit 202 of the customer management server 200 executes an authentication process (step S102). In the authentication process, the portal site providing unit 202 has customer management information that stores the same user ID and password combination included in the login request among the customer management information stored in the customer management information storage unit 204. It may be determined whether or not.
When the authentication is successful and the login is successful, the common user ID issuing unit 203 of the customer management server 200 determines whether the common user ID is unregistered or registered with reference to the customer management information storage unit 204. (Step S103).

  The common user ID stored in the customer management information storage unit 204 indicates a value indicating the common user ID issued at the first login when the corresponding user has logged in to the portal site. On the other hand, when the corresponding user has never logged in to the portal site, the common user ID stored in the customer management information storage unit 204 stores a specific value indicating that it has not been issued. . Therefore, in determining whether the common user ID is unregistered or registered, the common user ID issuing unit 203 determines the common user ID stored in the customer management information of the login user stored in the customer management information storage unit 204. You can refer to it.

If the common user ID is not registered (step S103-YES), the common user ID issuing unit 203 issues a common user ID corresponding to the current login user (step S104). The common user ID issuing unit 203 stores the common user ID issued by the processing of step S104 in the customer management information storage unit 204 in association with the personal information associated with the user ID (user account) of the login user. (Step S105).
On the other hand, if the common user ID has already been registered (step S103-NO), the processing of step S104 and step S105 is skipped.

In the customer management information storage unit 204, the portal site providing unit 202 transmits the common user ID stored in the customer management information of the currently logged-in user to the terminal device 300 via the electronic leaflet distribution server 100 (step S106). .
In response to the terminal device 300 receiving the common user ID transmitted by the process of step S106, the electronic leaflet browsing processing unit 302 in the terminal device 300 stores the received common user ID in the common user ID storage unit 303. Store (step S107).

Further, the common user ID transmitted by the process of step S106 is also received by the electronic leaflet distribution server 100 at a stage via the electronic leaflet distribution server 100. The common user ID registration unit 103 in the electronic leaflet distribution server 100 stores the received common user ID in the user information storage unit 110 (step S108). At this time, the common user ID registration unit 103 stores the received common user ID in association with the received user ID together with the common user ID.
By such a procedure, the common user ID of the same login user is stored among the electronic leaflet distribution server 100, the customer management server 200, and the terminal device 300 in accordance with the login of the customer management server 200 to the portal site. That is, the common user ID is shared among the electronic leaflet distribution server 100, the customer management server 200, and the terminal device 300.

  By performing such processing, a user who withdraws from the service provided by the customer management server 200 cannot log in to the portal site, and thus does not acquire a common user ID. Therefore, a user who is not a member of a service provider can be less likely to earn points. Therefore, it is possible to correctly manage whether or not the user is a point grant target user.

  The common user ID stored in the terminal device 300 is deleted at a predetermined timing. The predetermined timing is, for example, the timing when the terminal device 300 logs out from the portal site of the customer management server 200, the timing when a certain period of time (for example, 10 minutes, 1 hour, etc.) elapses after login to the portal site, or the electronic flyer distribution server 100 And the timing at which the connection between the terminal device 300 is disconnected.

Note that the common user ID registration unit 103 of the electronic leaflet distribution server 100 may store the common user ID in the user information storage unit 110 in the following procedure.
That is, the communication unit 101 in the electronic leaflet distribution server 100 transfers the common user ID transmitted by the portal site providing unit 202 of the customer management server 200 in step S106 to the terminal device 300.
In response to receiving the transferred common user ID, the electronic leaflet browsing processing unit 302 of the terminal device 300 executes the storage of the common user ID in the user information storage unit 110 in step S107. In addition, the electronic leaflet browsing processing unit 302 of the terminal device 300 notifies the electronic leaflet distribution server 100 of the received common user ID.
The common user ID registration unit 103 in the electronic leaflet distribution server 100 stores the common user ID notified from the electronic leaflet distribution server 100 in the user information storage unit 110 as the process of step S108. The common user ID is shared among the electronic leaflet distribution server 100, the customer management server 200, and the terminal device 300 also by such a procedure.

FIG. 10 is a sequence diagram showing a specific example of the operation of electronic leaflet distribution processing in the present embodiment.
The operation unit 305 of the terminal device 300 accepts an instruction to view the electronic leaflet by the user from the electronic leaflet list screen displayed on the display unit 304 (step S201). When a browsing instruction is input from the user via the operation unit 305, the communication unit 301 transmits a signal including a specified electronic leaflet distribution request (including a leaflet ID) to the electronic leaflet distribution server 100 (step S202). . The communication unit 101 of the electronic leaflet distribution server 100 receives the electronic leaflet distribution request (step S203). The control unit 102 reads the electronic leaflet data designated by the distribution request from the electronic leaflet storage unit 111, and transmits a signal including the electronic leaflet data to the terminal device 300 via the communication unit 101 (step S204).

The communication unit 301 of the terminal device 300 receives the signal transmitted from the electronic leaflet distribution server 100. The electronic leaflet browsing processing unit 302 displays the electronic leaflet of the electronic leaflet data included in the received signal on the display unit 304 (step S205).
Next, the electronic leaflet browsing processing unit 302 determines whether or not the electronic leaflet displayed on the display unit 304 is an electronic leaflet subject to point grant (step S206). When the electronic leaflet is a point grant target (step S <b> 206 -YES), the electronic leaflet browsing processing unit 302 refers to the common user ID storage unit 303 to determine whether there is a common user ID, that is, stores in the common user ID storage unit 303. It is determined whether it has been performed (step S207). On the other hand, when the electronic leaflet is not a point grant target (step S206—NO), the process ends.

  When the common user ID is stored in the common user ID storage unit 303 (step S207—YES), the communication unit 301 electronically transmits a signal including the point grant determination request and the common user ID stored in the common user ID storage unit 303. It transmits to the leaflet delivery server 100 (step S208). The point grant determination request is a request for causing the electronic leaflet delivery server to execute the browsing point grant determination. On the other hand, when the common user ID is not stored in the common user ID storage unit 303 (NO in step S207), the communication unit 301 does not transmit the common user ID and sends a signal including the point grant determination request to the electronic leaflet distribution server 100. (Step S209).

  The communication unit 101 of the electronic leaflet distribution server 100 receives a signal transmitted from the terminal device 300. The common user ID determination unit 105 determines whether there is a common user ID in the received signal (step S210). When there is a common user ID (step S210-YES), the browsing point grant determination unit 106 performs a browsing point grant determination in response to the received point grant determination request (step S211). Note that an example of a processing procedure for browsing point provision determination executed by the browsing point provision determination unit 106 as the processing in step S211 will be described later. Thereafter, the communication unit 101 transmits a signal including the determination result of the viewing point grant determination to the terminal device 300 (step S212). In the process of step S210, when there is no common user ID (step S210-NO), the communication unit 101 transmits a signal including a login request message to the terminal device 300 (step S213).

  The communication unit 301 of the terminal device 300 receives the signal transmitted from the electronic leaflet distribution server 100. The electronic leaflet browsing processing unit 302 displays a screen corresponding to the received signal (step S214). For example, when the data stored in the signal is a determination result, the electronic leaflet browsing processing unit 302 displays a pop-up image corresponding to the determination result of the browsing point assignment determination on the display unit 304.

Specifically, in the process of step S214, when the determination result can be awarded based on the determination result of the browsing point grant determination received by the communication unit 301 of the terminal device, the electronic leaflet browsing processing unit 302, for example, As illustrated in FIG. 7B, the notification image inf1 is displayed superimposed on the image of the electronic leaflet. Thereafter, the process ends.
On the basis of the determination result of the browsing point grant determination received by the communication unit 301, if the determination result is not point grantable, the electronic leaflet browsing processing unit 302, for example, as illustrated in FIG. The notification image inf2 is superimposed on the image of the electronic leaflet and displayed on the image. Thereafter, the process ends.

  In the process of step S214, when the data stored in the signal is a log-in request message, the electronic leaflet browsing processing unit 302 is configured to display the electronic leaflet browsing processing unit 302, for example, as illustrated in FIG. The log-in input from the user is accepted by displaying the notification image inf3 superimposed on the image of the flyer. Thereafter, the process ends.

The flowchart of FIG. 11 shows the point grant determination related to the browse point grant determination as step S211 of FIG.
Here, the browsing point grant determination unit 106 performs the point grant determination regarding the point grant according to the point grant rule of the electronic leaflet as follows.
The browsing point provision determination unit 106 determines whether or not the electronic leaflet designated by the current distribution request is a browsing point provision target (step S301).
As described above, the control unit 102 reads from the electronic leaflet storage unit 111 the electronic leaflet data specified by the distribution request transmitted from the terminal device 300 in the process of step S202 of FIG. Therefore, the browsing point assignment determination unit 106 acquires a group ID included in the header of the electronic leaflet data read by the control unit 102. Next, the browsing point provision determination unit 106 refers to the browsing point presence / absence information associated with the group ID acquired from the electronic leaflet data in the advertising source information stored in the advertising source information storage unit 112.
If the browsing point presence / absence information indicates that no browsing point is given, the browsing point grant determination unit 106 determines that the electronic leaflet designated by the current distribution request is not a browsing point grant target.

On the other hand, if the browsing point presence / absence information indicates the presence of browsing points, the browsing point grant determination unit 106 further associates with the same group ID as the determination target browsing point presence / absence information in the advertising source information. Refer to the browsing point grant period.
If the current date and time are included in the browsing point grant period, the browsing point grant determination unit 106 determines that the electronic flyer designated by the current distribution request is the target for granting the browse points. On the other hand, if the current date and time are not included in the browsing point grant period, the browsing point grant determination unit 106 determines that the electronic leaflet designated by the current distribution request is not subject to the browsing point grant.

If the electronic flyer is not subject to browsing points (step S301-NO), the browsing point grant determination unit 106 determines that browsing points should not be granted because it is not subject to point grant (step S303). ).
On the other hand, when the electronic flyer is a browsing point grant target (step S301-YES), the browsing point grant determination unit 106 further performs the following determination.

That is, the browsing point assignment determination unit 106 determines the distribution target area set in the electronic flyer designated by the current distribution request and the user of the terminal device 300 that is the transmission source of the current distribution request (the current distribution request source It is determined whether or not the distribution target area designated by the user is the same (step S302).
For this purpose, the browsing point assignment determination unit 106 acquires the store ID included in the header of the electronic leaflet read by the control unit 102 from the electronic leaflet storage unit 111 in response to the current distribution request. The browsing point assignment determination unit 106 acquires the distribution target area associated with the acquired store ID from the advertising source information table stored in the advertising source information storage unit 112.
Further, the browsing point assignment determination unit 106 acquires the value of the distribution target area associated with the user ID of the user of the distribution request source from the user information storage unit 110.

When the two distribution target areas acquired as described above are different (step S302—NO), the browsing point grant determination unit 106 should not grant a browse point because it is not a point grant target. (Step S303).
On the other hand, when the acquired two distribution target areas are the same, the browsing point assignment determination unit 106 further performs the following determination.

That is, the viewing point assignment determination unit 106 determines whether or not an electronic leaflet belonging to the same group as the electronic leaflet has been browsed by the user who has requested the distribution this time (step S304).
In the determination in step S304, the browsing point assignment determination unit 106 selects the group ID included in the browsing history associated with the user ID indicating the user of the current distribution request in the browsing history stored in the user information storage unit 110. Search target. Then, the same group ID as that included in the header of the electronic leaflet designated by the current distribution request is searched from among the group IDs to be searched.

When the same group ID is searched, the viewing point assignment determination unit 106 determines that an electronic leaflet belonging to the same group as the electronic leaflet designated by the current distribution request has been browsed by the user who requested the distribution this time. (Step S304—YES).
In this case, the browsing point grant determination unit 106 determines that the browsing point should not be granted because the browsing point has been acquired (step S305).

On the other hand, if the same group ID is not searched, the viewing point assignment determination unit 106 determines that an electronic leaflet belonging to the same group as the electronic leaflet designated by the current distribution request is still viewed depending on the user who is the current distribution request source. It determines with not having been carried out (step S304-NO).
When the above determination result is obtained, the electronic leaflet designated by the current distribution request is an electronic leaflet that is a browsing point grant target and points have not yet been acquired by the user of the current distribution request source. Therefore, the browsing point assignment determination unit 106 determines that a viewing point should be provided for the electronic leaflet designated by the current distribution request (step S306).

If the same electronic leaflet as the electronic leaflet specified by the current distribution request has been browsed in the past by the user of the current distribution request source, the advertisement source of the electronic leaflet specified by the current distribution request You have browsed electronic leaflets from the same store in the past. Therefore, also in this case, it is determined that the electronic flyers of the same group have been browsed (step S304-YES), and it is determined that the browsing points should not be given because the browsing points have been acquired. Can do.
In other words, whether the browsing history indicates that the browsing point assignment determination unit 106 of the present embodiment has browsed the electronic flyer designated by the current distribution request by the processing of step S304. It is also determined whether or not. Then, if the user who has requested the distribution of the electronic flyer designated by the distribution request this time has already browsed, it is determined that a browsing point should not be given corresponding to the browsing of the electronic flyer this time (step S305). ). In this case, a browsing point should not be given regardless of whether or not the terminal device 300 that is the transmission source of the distribution request this time is the same as the terminal device 300 on which the same electronic leaflet has been browsed in the past. Determined.

Moreover, you may make it the browsing point provision determination part 106 determine whether the browsing point has been acquired based on store ID other than based on group ID like step S304.
In this case, the browsing point assignment determination unit 106 searches for the store ID included in the browsing history associated with the user ID indicating the user of the distribution request this time in the user information table stored in the user information storage unit 110. And The browsing point assignment determination unit 106 searches for the same store ID as included in the header of the electronic leaflet designated by the current distribution request, from the store IDs to be searched. Then, depending on whether or not the store ID has been searched, the viewing point assignment determination unit 106 determines that the electronic flyer designated by the current distribution request and the same electronic flyer as the distribution source store are the users of the current distribution request source. To determine whether or not browsing has been completed.
In the case of the determination result that the browsing has been completed, the browsing point assignment determination unit 106 may determine that the browsing point should not be provided by the process of step S305 because the browsing point has been acquired. . Moreover, the browsing point provision determination part 106 should just determine with the process of step S306 that a browsing point should be provided in the case of the determination result that it has not browsed.
In this case, it can be determined whether or not browsing points should be given to the electronic leaflet on a store basis.

Moreover, you may make it the browsing point provision determination part 106 determine whether the browsing point has been acquired based on leaflet ID.
In this case, the browsing point assignment determination unit 106 searches the user information table stored in the user information storage unit 110 for the flyer ID included in the browsing history associated with the user ID indicating the user of the current distribution request source. And The browsing point assignment determination unit 106 searches for the same leaflet ID included in the header of the electronic leaflet designated by the current distribution request from the leaflet IDs to be searched. Then, depending on whether or not the flyer ID has been searched, the browsing point assignment determination unit 106 has already browsed the same electronic flyer as the electronic flyer specified by the distribution request this time by the user who requested the distribution this time. It is determined whether or not.
In the case of the determination result that the browsing has been completed, the browsing point assignment determination unit 106 may determine that the browsing point should not be provided by the process of step S305 because the browsing point has been acquired. . Moreover, the browsing point provision determination part 106 should just determine with the process of step S306 that a browsing point should be provided in the case of the determination result that it has not browsed.
In this case, it can be determined whether or not browsing points should be given in units of electronic leaflets.

In the present embodiment, the processing in steps S301 and S302 in FIG. 11 may be executed as follows. In other words, for example, the header of the data of the electronic leaflet has a structure in which information on the distribution target area, information indicating the presence or absence of browsing points, and the like are stored.
In addition, as a process of step S301, the browsing point assignment determination unit 106 refers to information indicating the presence or absence of the browsing point stored in the header of the electronic leaflet designated by the distribution request, and uses the electronic leaflet that is the browsing point grant target. You may determine whether there exists.
In addition, as a process of step S302, the browsing point assignment determination unit 106 is set to the electronic leaflet specified by the distribution request by referring to the information on the distribution target area stored in the header of the requested electronic leaflet. Specify the delivery target area. In addition, the browsing point assignment determination unit 106 may determine whether or not the specified distribution target area is the same as the distribution target area specified by the user of the terminal device 300 that is the transmission source of the current distribution request.
By such processing, the browsing point provision determination unit 106 can determine whether or not the browsing point should be appropriately given according to the electronic leaflet to be browsed.

  According to the electronic flyer distribution system configured as described above, a common user ID that represents a common user in the service provider of the cooperation destination and the electronic flyer distribution device is identified and stored. Whether or not a point is given to the user who has viewed the electronic leaflet according to whether or not the common user ID has been received when the electronic leaflet distribution request is transmitted from the terminal device of the user. Judgment is made by referring to the common user ID stored in the storage unit. Thereby, it is possible to correctly manage whether or not the user is a point grant target user.

<Modification>
For example, when it is determined that the browsing point should be added, the browsing point grant determination unit 106 further determines the number of points to be granted based on the browsing history, the attribute of the electronic leaflet to be browsed, and the like. You can do it.
