The connection management function includes a function for displaying a connection state between users, a function for establishing a connection relationship with a new user, a function for deleting an established connection relationship, and a user having a connection relationship established. This is a function for switching a setting indicating the type of sharable information (hereinafter referred to as “sharing level”).

Here, the sharing level is divided into a plurality of sharing levels in accordance with the number of types of information that can be shared with users who have established connection relationships. As the sharing level, for example, the following three levels may be defined, and the present invention is not limited to this, and two levels or four or more levels may be defined. A description of “photographed data posted by itself” and “own score” will be described later.
・ Sharing level 1: “Own position information”, “Shooting data posted by itself” and “Own score” can be shared. • Sharing level 2: “Shooting data posted by itself” and “Own score” are shared. Possible / Share Level 3: Share your own score (shooting function)
The shooting function is a function that enables users who are connected to actually gather to take pictures or videos. In addition, a user who uses the terminal 10 that has taken a picture uses an imaging function or an image or a moving picture (hereinafter, the taken picture or moving picture is referred to as “photographed data”) and the sharing level 1 described above. It is possible to post (show) for users set to the sharing level 2. The “photographed data posted by the user” in the connection management function described above means image data posted by the user himself / herself for other connected users using the photographing function.

  In addition, this SNS not only provides a function of simply taking a picture, but also has a function (device) that enhances interest. Specifically, this SNS is a function that automatically determines the user (photographer) who will be a cameraman and the user (photographed person) who will be an actor on the system side and instructs the user, and a predetermined operation for the actor. The function to instruct to perform (predetermined poses and expressions for still images, predetermined dance for movies, etc.), shooting data automatically by adding characters and illustrations to the shooting data It has a function to process automatically.

  In addition, in this SNS, when connected users actually gather and perform shooting, even a user other than a connected user (for example, a user who does not use the SNS) is added to shooting. It has a function (guest appearance function) that can. In the following description, a user who participates only in shooting is called a “guest user”. Since the guest user is a temporary user who can participate only in shooting, the guest data cannot be voted on the shooting data by a voting function described later, and a score is given by the score management function. There is nothing. Also, the guest user cannot use the graffiti function.

(Voting function)
The voting function is a function that enables the user to vote the evaluation result for the shooting data posted from other users set to the sharing level 1 and the sharing level 2. The voting of the evaluation result is performed, for example, in two stages of UP (good) / DOWN (not good), or scores (the lowest and highest points are optional, but for example, 10 stages from 1 to 10 points). . The user who has posted the shooting data can refer to the counting result obtained by counting the votes received from other users. Thereby, it can lead to the improvement of the motivation of the user who wants to take a photograph or a moving image that can obtain a better evaluation, and contributes to the activation of this SNS.

(Graffiti function)
The graffiti function is a function that allows the photographer and the photographed person to overwrite an arbitrary object on the photographed or moving image and edit the overwritten object. More specifically, it is composed of one or more objects by adding arbitrary objects (pictograms, texts, stickers, images, etc.) to the shooting data by the photographer and the photographed person in cooperation. This is a function that can create a graffiti and display the created graffiti on the shooting data. The photographer and the photographed person can freely paste an arbitrary object while referring to the object added by the other photographer and the photographed person. In the voting function described above, a user who performs voting can arbitrarily switch and refer to shooting data with an object added and shooting data with no object added.

(Chat function)
The chat function is a function that allows chatting between connected users. However, this SNS does not allow chatting with all connected users, but does not allow users to share location information (that is, the above-described sharing level 1 user). It is allowed to chat when the condition is satisfied. Thereby, although this SNS does not exchange a message directly, it has produced the state where it is connected somehow.

(Score management function)
The score management function is a function for calculating a score (score) for each user based on the frequency of posting the shooting data, the result of counting votes received from other users for the shooting data, and the like. The “own score” in the above-described connection management function means the user's own score calculated by the score management function.

Is set to "User ID (2)", the user ID of User Y is set to "Connection Request Source User ID", and "Shared Level" is set. Set sharing level 1, which is the default value. The default value is not limited to the sharing level 1, and may be the sharing level 2 or the sharing level 3.

  The sharing level set between the users X and Y can be changed by an instruction from the user X or the user Y. However, in this SNS, the changeable sharing level is different between the case where the user who has requested establishment of the connection relationship changes the sharing level and the case where the user who has accepted the establishment of the connection relationship changes the sharing level. May be. For example, when the sharing level is changed in accordance with an instruction from a user who has requested establishment of a connection relationship, only a change to a sharing level in which the type of sharable information is limited is permitted. On the other hand, when the sharing level is changed according to an instruction from the user who has accepted the establishment of the connection relationship, the change to an arbitrary sharing level is permitted. For example, when the user X changes the sharing level, the sharing level that the user X can select as the changed sharing level is limited to the sharing level 3 (or the sharing level 2 or 3), but the user Y has the sharing level. When changing the sharing level, the sharing levels that can be selected by the user Y as the sharing level after the change are all sharing levels.

  In order to realize such an operation, when the connection management unit 201 of the management server 20 receives a request to change the sharing level from the terminal 10, the connection management information is accessed by accessing the connection management information. Information indicating the requesting user and the current sharing level may be transmitted to the terminal 10. In this case, if the display unit 102 of the terminal 10 determines that the user who uses the terminal 10 is a user who is a connection-related request source, only the sharing level in which the types of information that can be shared are limited is used. A changeable screen may be displayed. On the other hand, when it is determined that the user who is the connection request source is not the other party of the user who uses the terminal 10, a screen that can be changed to an arbitrary sharing level may be displayed.

  Alternatively, when a request to change the sharing level is received from the terminal 10, the connection management unit 201 of the management server 20 determines a connection relationship request source with the user using the terminal 10 that has transmitted the request. It is also possible to determine the range of share levels that can be changed by comparing with a user, and to send information indicating the determined range of share levels that can be changed directly to the terminal 10. In this case, the display unit 102 of the terminal 10 may display the changeable share level range received from the management server 20.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a screen display example regarding establishment of a connection relationship. FIG. 6A is a screen example showing the number of users who are connected to the user A and have established a relationship and the number of users waiting for friend request approval. In the example of FIG. 6A, it is displayed that the user A is connected to the users B, C, and D. In FIG. 6A, an image icon set by each user on his / her profile setting screen is displayed as information for identifying the user in a portion where the alphabet is surrounded by a circle (the same applies to other drawings). In addition, user names such as user A and user B are displayed in portions such as “user A” and “user B” (the same applies to other drawings). The number of friend requests that have not been approved or rejected is displayed in the friend request list 1000. When the friend request list 1000 is pressed (tapped), the screen transitions to FIG. The menu bar 900 includes a screen for managing connection relationships (FIG. 6A), a map display screen (FIG. 9A described later), and a screen for displaying posted images (FIG. 12A described later). )) Is displayed. When the left icon in the menu bar 900 is pressed, the screen moves to a screen for managing the connection relationship. When the central icon is pressed, the screen moves to the map display screen. When the right icon is pressed, the posted image is displayed. Move to the screen displaying.

  FIG. 6B is a screen for selecting approval or rejection of the friend request. When the approval button 1001 in FIG. 6B is pressed, the connection relationship is established with the user who has received the friend request, and when the reject button 1002 is pressed, the connection relationship is not established with the user who has received the friend request. .

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a screen display example regarding a change in connection relationship. FIG. 7A is an example of a screen displayed when a user who has accepted establishment of a connection relationship changes the sharing level. The user can set a desired sharing level or delete a connection relationship by pressing any one of levels 1 to 3 displayed on the selection screen 1011 or a delete button. FIG. 7B is an example of a screen displayed when a user who has requested establishment of a connection relationship changes the sharing level. The user can set the sharing level 3 or delete the connection relationship by pressing a level 3 or delete button displayed on the selection screen 1011. When the delete button is pressed, a confirmation prompting screen (FIG. 7C) is displayed. When the YES button is pressed, the connection relationship is deleted.

(Shooting, posting and voting of photos or videos)
FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a processing procedure when taking a photograph or a moving image between users. In the following description, the terminal 10 used by the user X is referred to as a terminal 10X, and the terminal 10 used by the user Y is referred to as a terminal 10Y. Further, a description will be given assuming a situation where the user X and the user Y actually gather and take a picture using the terminal 10X of the user X.

  In step S201, the terminal 10 and the management server 20 extract a user who performs shooting. The terminal 10X notifies the management server 20 that the user X has received a request to perform shooting. Subsequently, the user management unit 200 of the management server 20 searches for the “current position” of the user management information, thereby sharing the position information with the user X using the terminal 10X (that is, at the sharing level 1). Among the connected users), users who are within a predetermined range (for example, a 1 km range, a 2 km range, etc.) around the current position of the user X are extracted. Subsequently, the management server 20 transmits information indicating the extracted user to the terminal 10X. The display unit 102 of the terminal 10X displays a list of extracted users.

  In step S <b> 202, the operation reception unit 103 of the terminal 10 </ b> X receives a selection of a user who actually participates in shooting from the list of users displayed on the screen, and transmits the selected user to the management server 20. For example, if the users extracted in step S201 are the user Y and the user Z, but the user Y is the only user currently present with the user X, the user X actually participates in the shooting of the user Y. The user will be selected.

  As described above, in this SNS, guest users who can participate only in shooting can be added. When the guest user participates in shooting, the operation reception unit 103 of the terminal 10 </ b> X receives an input of the guest user's user name and transmits the input user name to the management server 20. Since guest users include users who do not use the SNS, the user names of the guest users are directly input in the SNS. In the following description, it is assumed that users who participate in shooting are a user X, a user Y, and a guest user Z.

  In step S <b> 203, the shooting control unit 202 of the management server 20 randomly selects a photographer (cameraman) from among a plurality of users (user X, user Y, and guest user Z) who participate in shooting notified from the terminal 10 </ b> X. The remaining user is determined as the subject (actor). In this SNS, a guest user may become a photographer. However, the shooting control unit 202 of the management server 20 may be configured such that the guest user is necessarily a person to be shot. In addition, the imaging control unit 202 determines a predetermined operation to be instructed to the subject. Further, the shooting control unit 202 determines the content (for example, “laughing” or “in a cool atmosphere”) that instructs the photographer in what kind of atmosphere to shoot. The shooting control unit 202 shoots the user ID and user name of the determined photographer, the user ID and user name of the photographed person, a predetermined operation instructed to the photographed person, and what kind of atmosphere the photographer takes. The terminal 10X is notified of the content instructing whether or not to perform. A temporary ID may be used as the guest user's user ID.

  The predetermined operation to be instructed to the subject may be determined at random from predetermined operations, or may be arbitrarily selected by the user, or an area in which shooting is performed (shooting May be determined according to the time at which the image is taken, or may be determined according to the content of predetermined processing performed on the image data after the image is taken. It may be determined. For example, the shooting control unit 202 decides in advance to perform a magazine-like process for adults as a predetermined process, and instructs the person to be photographed to take a pose on the cover of the magazine. Also good.

  In addition, for example, when a predetermined advertisement (for example, an advertisement for movie A) is developed in an area where shooting is performed, the shooting control unit 202 determines to process the advertisement style as a processing method, and The photographer may be instructed to take a pose used for the advertisement (for example, a pose performed by an actor in the movie A advertisement). The predetermined action to be instructed to the subject may be a specific dance or a specific facial expression in addition to the static pose.

  Further, the predetermined operation to be instructed to the subject may be determined based on “preference information” of each of a plurality of users participating in the shooting. For example, when the information indicating that the “taste information” of the subject is “relaxing personality” is set, the photographing control unit 202 performs a predetermined operation instructing the subject “not active”. You may make it select and determine from "operation". When the “preference information” of the plurality of subjects is not the same, the imaging control unit 202 determines the subject information based on the “preference information” having the largest number of subjects with the same or similar preference information. The predetermined operation to be instructed may be determined.

  A template is a combination of a predetermined operation to be instructed to the subject, a content to instruct the photographer in what kind of atmosphere to be photographed, and a predetermined processing content to be performed on the photographing data. The image capturing control unit 202 may select one of the templates in step S203.

  The display unit 102 of the terminal 10X receives the user name of the determined photographer (here, user Y), the user name of the person to be photographed (here, user X and guest user Z), received from the management server 20. A screen showing a predetermined operation instructed to the subject and a content instructing the photographer in what kind of atmosphere should be displayed is displayed.

  In step S <b> 204, the photographing unit 104 of the terminal 10 </ b> X performs photographing using the camera 14 when detecting that the photographing button is pressed on the touch panel 17.

  In step S205, the processing unit 1041 of the terminal 10X performs predetermined processing on the captured image data. The processing unit 1041 may randomly determine the processing content from a plurality of predetermined processing details. In addition, when the processing content is determined at the time of step S203, the processing unit 1041 may perform processing according to the processing content. Further, the processing procedure of step S204 may be skipped. In other words, the processing unit 1041 may not process the captured data.

  The processing unit 1041 may paste the text character string of the user name of the photographer (user Y) and / or the person to be photographed (user X and guest user Z) in the photographing data when performing predetermined processing. Good. For example, when processing a magazine article style, the processing unit 1041 may embed the user name of the user X who is a subject in a part of the title of the magazine article. Further, for example, the processing unit 1041 may attach the user name of the user Y as the photographer name to the lower right of the photographed data or the like, and the user Y is a photographer who is not photographed. A meaning character string or the like may be pasted. This eliminates the need for the user to add the user name of the user who participated in the shooting by operating the terminal 10, thereby improving the operability and adding the user name to the processed shooting data. It is possible to produce a user experience of being posted.

  It should be noted that the processing content performed on the photographic data by the processing unit 1041 may be changeable (editable) by a user who posts the photographic data. For example, the processing unit 1041 may change (edit) a text character string or an illustration pasted on the shooting data based on an instruction from a user who posts the shooting data.

  Further, the processing of the photographing data may be performed by the management server 20 instead of the terminal 10X. In this case, the imaging unit 104 of the terminal 10X transmits the captured imaging data to the management server 20, and the processing unit 2021 of the management server 20 performs predetermined processing on the received imaging data and transmits it to the terminal 10X. .

  In step S <b> 206, when the operation reception unit 103 of the terminal 10 </ b> X detects that the button for posting shooting data displayed on the screen is pressed, the processing reception data is transmitted to the management server 20. Note that, when processing of shooting data is performed on the management server 20 side, the operation reception unit 103 of the terminal 10X may transmit information for instructing posting of shooting data to the management server 20. Here, in the present SNS, posting of shooting data can be performed only by the user X using the terminal 10X that has shot. For example, when the user X and the user Y gather and take a picture using the terminal 10X of the user X, the user X is the user X regardless of whether the user X is a photographer or a photographed person. Treated as a photo submission.

  When the shooting data is posted, the shooting control unit 202 of the management server 20 connects each user connected to the user X using the terminal 10X that has shot the image at the “sharing level where sharing of shooting data is permitted”. An icon indicating that the posting has been made is displayed on the screen of the terminal 10 (that is, each user connected to the user X at the sharing level 1 or 2). In the following description, each user who is connected to the user X at “a sharing level where photographing data sharing is permitted” is referred to as each user who is connected to the user X at “sharing level 1 or 2”.

  In step S207, the operation accepting unit 103 of the terminal 10X or the terminal Y is posted by the photographer (user Y) and the photographed person (user X) when the photographer and the photographed person want to create graffiti. Selection of an arbitrary object to be added (pasted) to shooting data is accepted. Arbitrary objects that can be added to the shooting data are, for example, pictograms, texts, stickers, images, and the like. The sticker may be an original sticker created by a photographer or a photographed person.

  Subsequently, the operation reception unit 103 of the terminal 10 </ b> X transmits information indicating the received object to the management server 20. The management server 20 stores information indicating the received object in “object information” of the shooting data information. Note that the object can be added at an arbitrary timing after the posting in step S206. For example, the photographer and the photographed person can give an object even while voting is being performed in the following step S208.

  The object added by the photographer and the photographed person and the user name of the photographer or photographed person who added the object can be referred to by other photographers and photographed persons. However, it is not possible to edit (for example, delete) an object other than an object provided by the photographer or the photographed person.

  In step S208, each user connected to the user X at the sharing level 1 or 2 performs a vote on the posted shooting data displayed on his / her terminal 10 (hereinafter referred to as “voting screen”). ) To vote. On the voting screen, shooting data posted from the user X and an icon for selecting an evaluation result are displayed, and each user can vote by selecting the evaluation result with the icon. The user name of the user who has already voted may be displayed on the voting screen among the users who are connected to the user X at the “sharing level where sharing of photographing data is permitted”. When graffiti is made on the posted shooting data by the photographer or the person to be photographed (that is, when an object is added), the object is superimposed on the shooting data displayed on the voting screen. Note that on the voting screen, each user can arbitrarily switch whether to display the object superimposed on the shooting data or to display only the shooting data.

  The operation receiving unit 103 of each user's terminal 10 connected to the user X at the sharing level 1 or 2 transmits the voting result to the management server 20, and the totaling unit 2031 of the management server 20 is transmitted from each terminal 10. Aggregate voting results. On the posting screen, the user can acquire a screen shot of the screen on which the shooting data is displayed and save it in the terminal 10. When the operation receiving unit 103 of the terminal 10 detects that the screen shot has been acquired, the operation receiving unit 103 notifies the management server 20 that the screen shot has been acquired.

  A screen (hereinafter referred to as a “voting result screen”) on which the result of voting performed by each user connected to the user X at the sharing level 1 or 2 can be referred to the terminal 10X of the user X who has posted the shooting data. .) Is displayed. In the voting result screen, the shooting data posted by the user X and information indicating the voting result made by each user connected to the user X at the sharing level 1 or 2 with respect to the shooting data (the ratio of UP / DOWN, and (Or the number of UPs and DOWNs voted or the average score), the number of votes, the user name of the user who voted, and a switching button (graffiti button) for switching whether or not to display the object in an overlapping manner And a button for displaying an operation or the like instructed by the subject when the image is taken. Information indicating that the user who voted has acquired the screen shot may be further displayed on the vote result screen. In order to perform such processing, when the imaging control unit 202 of the management server 20 receives a notification from the display unit 102 of the terminal 10X of the user X that the voting result screen is to be displayed, it should be displayed on the voting result screen. Content (described above, shooting data, information indicating the voting result, the number of votes, the user name of the voting user, information indicating that the screen shot has been acquired, and necessary for displaying the object over the shooting data Information) is transmitted to the terminal 10. The display unit 102 of the terminal 10 displays a vote result screen using the received content.

  In this SNS, the users who can vote on the voting screen are only the users who are connected to the user X who made the posting at the sharing level 1 or 2, and the users who participated in the shooting (posted) User X) may not be able to vote for the shooting data that he / she participated in shooting. For example, it is assumed that users A, B, and C have gathered and photographed using terminal 10 of user A. In addition, it is assumed that users connected to the user A at the sharing level 1 or 2 are a user L, a user M, and a user N. In this case, the user who can post the shooting data is the user A, and the users who can vote from the voting screen may be limited to the user L, the user M, and the user N. Moreover, the user who can refer to the voting result from the voting result screen is limited to the user A, the users B and C may not be able to refer to the voting result, and the users A, B and C may be referred to from the voting result screen. The voting result may be referred to. In addition, the users B and C may be permitted to refer to the posted shooting data and to download to the terminal 10.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a screen display example when a user participating in shooting is selected. FIG. 9A is an example of a map screen that displays the current position of a connected user. A circle 1101 indicates a predetermined range (for example, within 1 km) around the user X who uses the terminal 10X. When the button 1102 is pressed, a transition is made to the screen shown in FIG. The menu bar 900 will be described later. FIG. 9B is in a predetermined range centered on the user X among users sharing position information with the user X using the terminal 10X (that is, users connected at the sharing level 1). It is a screen which shows that a user is being extracted. When the extraction is completed, a transition is made to the screen shown in FIG. A list of extracted users is displayed on the screen shown in FIG. The user X selects a user who participates in photographing by performing an operation of excluding users who do not participate in photographing from the screen shown in FIG. Note that the user X himself / herself is automatically incorporated as a user who participates in shooting, and thus is not displayed on the list screen of FIG.

  An image icon of a user who is excluded from users who participate in shooting is displayed in area 1105. In the example of FIG. 9C, the users F, G, H, and I are excluded from the users participating in shooting. When selection of a user who participates in shooting is completed and the icon 1106 is pressed, the process transitions to FIG.

  Here, when the number of users participating in the shooting is less than a predetermined upper limit number of people (for example, 10 people including the user X itself), guest users are added within a range in which the number of users participating in the shooting does not exceed the upper limit number of people. be able to. When the guest user addition button 1107 is pressed, a transition is made to the guest user addition screen shown in FIG. In addition to the number of users who can be added as guest users in addition to the user selected as a user participating in shooting (Today's Casts) and the user excluded from users participating in shooting (Sorry ...) A guest user input area 1108 for inputting the user name is included. In the example of FIG. 9D, the upper limit number of people that can participate in shooting is nine in addition to the user X, and five users A, B, C, D, and E are selected as users who participate in shooting at this time. A display example is shown. In this case, up to four user names can be entered in the guest user input area 1108. When the icon 1109 is pressed, a transition is made to FIG.

  FIG. 10 is an example of a screen that displays various instructions related to shooting. The screen shown in FIG. 10 includes an image 1111 in which a clapperboard is copied, an initial of the user name of the photographer, an initial of the user name of the subject, and an illustration instructing the subject to perform a predetermined operation. 1111A, an illustration 1111B (“Elegantly!” In the example of FIG. 10) for instructing the photographer in what kind of atmosphere should be displayed is displayed. In the illustrations 1111A and 1111B, an initial of the user name of the photographer or the photographed person is displayed. When the photographer or the photographed person is a guest user, the initials of the user name input on the guest user addition screen in FIG. 9D are displayed in the illustrations 1111A and 1111B.

  In the illustration 1111A, the pose to be performed by the subject is expressed in detail by the illustration using the stick man up to the movement of the fingertip. Furthermore, the atmosphere that should be created at the time of shooting, such as the state of being rushed or surprised, is also expressed by illustrations using stick figures.

  Further, the imaging control unit 202 of the management server 20 randomly determines the standing position (position) of each subject and notifies the terminal 10, and the display unit 102 of the terminal 10 displays the head of the stick man in the illustration 1111 A. In addition, an initial of the user name of each subject may be displayed.

  In the example of FIG. 10, “CAMERA Kay Idata” indicates that the user name of the photographer is Kay Idata. “K” in the illustration 1111B indicates an initial letter of the user name of the photographer. “R”, “t”, “E”, “K”, “A”, “K”, and “S” in the illustration 1111A indicate initial letters of the user name of the subject. Two “K” are illustrated in the illustration 1111A, because there are two photographed persons having the same initial letter. When there are a plurality of subjects, by determining the standing position of each subject on the SNS system side, it becomes possible to reduce unfairness between subjects regarding the standing position, Shooting can proceed smoothly. The display unit 102 of the terminal 10 may display the profile page of the tapped user when the head of the illustrated stick man is tapped. Thereby, when the first letter of the user name is the same among the photographed persons, it is possible to prevent the photographed person having the same initial letter from knowing his / her standing position.

  The user who is the photographed person takes a pose or the like designated by the image 1111, and the user who is the photographer instructs the photographed person to “laugh more” while viewing the contents designated by the image 1111. Do.

  Note that since the photographer holds the terminal 10 and shoots, it is difficult to appear in a photograph or a moving image unless a tool such as a selfie stick can be used. In the present embodiment, the selection of the photographer and the person to be photographed is forcibly specified from the SNS system, thereby causing unfairness (for example, unfairness that the photographer cannot capture the photograph) that occurs in the user participating in the photographing. It is possible to eliminate. In addition, since the SNS system selects and indicates the photographer and the photographed person, there is a technical effect that the photographer and the photographed person can be designated according to a predetermined selection logic. It will be.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a screen display example from shooting to posting. FIG. 11A shows an example of a screen for performing photographing. When the shooting button 1112 is pressed, shooting is performed. Further, when the clapperboard icon 1113 is pressed, the image 1111 is displayed again, and the user can confirm the operation to be performed by the subject. When shooting is performed by pressing the shooting button 1112, a screen (FIG. 11B) indicating that predetermined processing is performed on the shooting data is displayed. When the predetermined processing is completed, the photographed data after processing is displayed. FIG. 11C is a diagram illustrating an example of photographed data after being processed in a magazine style. The user name of the photographer or the person to be photographed (user X in the example of FIG. 11C) may be pasted on the “USERNAME” part. When the posting button 1114 is pressed, the screen shown in FIG. 11D is displayed, and the processed shooting data is posted to the user connected to the user X at the sharing level 1 or 2. When the shooting data is posted, the menu bar 900 (FIG. 6 (a), FIG. 9 (a)) displayed on the screen of the posting target user (the user who is connected to the posting user at the sharing level 1 or 2). Etc.), the icon on the right side switches to a display indicating that a new post has been made.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of a voting screen and a voting result screen. FIG. 12A shows an example of a voting screen. The voting screen is displayed, for example, by selecting the icon on the right side of the menu bar 900 or sliding the screen of FIG. 9A to the right. On the voting screen, posted shooting data and a DOWN button 1151 or an UP button 1152 are displayed. A user who performs voting performs voting by pressing the DOWN button 1151 or the UP button 1152. A user who performs voting may vote for UP by swiping the voting screen to the right, and may vote for DOWN by swiping the voting screen to the left. In addition, when voting is performed by a score, an icon for selecting a score is displayed on the voting screen.

  A clapperboard icon 1153 is displayed on the voting screen. When the clapperboard icon 1153 is pressed, an image 1111 shown in FIG. 10 is displayed. As a result, the voting user can know the operation or the like instructed by the person to be imaged when shooting is performed, and the voting can be performed by comparing the actual shooting data with the instructed operation. It can be one of the judgment materials when performing. In addition, a vote number icon 1154 indicating the current number of votes is displayed on the vote screen. When the vote count icon 1154 is pressed, a vote status display area 1161 (FIG. 12B) showing the vote count and a list of user names of users who have already voted is displayed. Further, when an object is added to the shooting data, a switching button (graffiti button) 1155 for switching whether to display the object in an overlapping manner is displayed on the voting screen. When the switch button is pressed (or swiped up), the object is displayed in a superimposed manner on the shooting data.

  FIG. 12C is an example of a vote result screen. The voting result screen is a screen that can be referred to only by the user who posted the shooting data, and the user can check the voting status at the present time by referring to the voting result screen. In the voting status display area 1171, the number of votes and a user name list of users who have already voted are displayed. In the voting status display area 1171, a totaling result 1172 obtained by totaling the voting results from each user is further displayed. The total result 1172 indicates the voting result (for example, the ratio of the number of voted UP and the number of voted DOWN, or the average score) in a gauge format. An illustration may be displayed at the boundary between UP and DOWN. For example, the number of UPs or the number of votes may be divided into predetermined stages (for example, five stages), and an illustration determined for each stage may be displayed. In the voting status display area 1171, when there is a user who has acquired a screen shot of shooting data, a camera icon 1173 is displayed on the right side of the user name of the user. When the save button 1174 is pressed, the posted shooting data is downloaded to the terminal 10 and the cloud server. When the delete button 1175 is pressed, the posted shooting data is deleted (discarded). In addition, a graffiti icon 1176 is displayed on the voting result screen, and the user who posted the shooting data presses the graffiti icon 1176 to add pictograms, text, original stickers, images, etc. Can be pasted in

  When the shooting data is posted, a display indicating that the shooting data has been posted is displayed on the screen of the user who participated in the shooting. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15A described later, “Latest Show” is displayed on the screen of the user who participated in the shooting. When the display is pressed, a screen for displaying and saving the posted shooting data is displayed. A user who participates in shooting can download shooting data to the terminal 10 using the screen. In addition, the user who participated in the shooting can select pictograms, text, original stickers, images, etc. in the shooting data by pressing the graffiti icon displayed on the screen for displaying and saving the posted shooting data. Can be pasted in

  This completes the description of “(photographing or moving pictures, voting and posting)”. In this SNS, as shown in FIG. 8, extracting candidate users by searching for nearby users on the map screen is called “audition”, and users who participate in shooting from the extracted candidate users Is called “selection”, and the SNS system automatically processes the shooting data as “edit”. Posting the shooting data and accepting a vote is “show time” " As a result, this SNS makes it possible for each user to enjoy shooting by creating an atmosphere in which a movie or magazine is shot instead of simply taking a photo and sharing it with the user. In addition, by introducing a system that allows each user to evaluate photos taken, etc., in order to receive good evaluations from connected users, it is possible to receive higher evaluations from many users. It made it possible to create a desire to shoot.

(Chat function and guidance from chat to shooting)
FIG. 13 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a processing procedure when chatting between users. In the following description, the terminal 10 used by the user X is referred to as a terminal 10X, and the terminal 10 used by the user Y is referred to as a terminal 10Y. Further, a description will be given assuming a situation in which user X requests user Y to participate in a chat room.

  In step S301, the operation reception unit 103 of the terminal 10 receives a selection of a user who requests participation in the chat room from among the users displayed (plotted) on the map screen. Here, it is assumed that the user Y is selected.

  In step S302, the operation reception unit 103 of the terminal 10 receives selection of a sticker to be transmitted to the selected user Y, information (user name or user ID) indicating the user Y that is the transmission destination of the sticker, and selection The information indicating the sticker is sent to the management server 20. Here, the sticker is an icon in which a message and a character such as “Can you meet now?” Or “Now?” Are drawn, and the user displays a sticker that he / she wants to send to the other party from among a plurality of stickers prepared in advance. You can select and send above. In the present embodiment, it is possible to select a sticker (limited sticker) that can be used only within a specific area or within a specific period. For example, by preparing limited stickers corresponding to campaigns and advertisements conducted in a specific area, the sticker transmission between users is activated, and for users whose limited stickers are outside the specific area It is also possible to increase the advertising effect by transmitting the message.

  The chat control unit 204 of the management server 20 transmits information indicating the user X (such as a user name or a user ID) and information indicating the selected sticker to the terminal 10Y of the user Y. The display unit 102 of the terminal 10Y displays the received sticker and the user name of the user X on the screen.

  In step S303, the operation accepting unit 103 of the terminal 10Y accepts selection of a sticker to be returned from the user Y toward the selected user X, and information (user name or user ID) indicating the user X to which the sticker is transmitted. Etc.) and information indicating the selected sticker are transmitted to the management server 20. Here, the chat control unit 204 of the management server 20 displays a chat room screen on the terminal 10X and the terminal 10Y of the user Y when a predetermined condition is satisfied, thereby enabling a chat. Specifically, the chat control unit 204 of the management server 20 determines whether or not the combination of the sticker transmitted from the user X to the user Y and the sticker returned from the user Y to the user X is a predetermined combination. If it is determined that the combination is a predetermined combination, the chat room screen is displayed on the terminal 10X of the user X and the terminal 10Y of the user Y so that a chat is possible. The predetermined combination is, for example, a case where a sticker such as “OK” or “I am free now” is returned in response to a sticker such as “Can I meet now?” Or “Im now?”.

  In step S304, a chat is performed between the user X and the user Y. Here, on the chat room screen, an icon (shooting icon) that can start the shooting function in the SNS is displayed. By pressing the shooting icon, shooting is performed between users who are chatting. It can be carried out. For example, when the user X and the user Y are actually talking in the chat room and meet each other from the flow of the conversation and then take a picture, the picture can be taken in the shortest step.

  Note that the chat control unit 204 of the management server 20 may delete the chat room screen at a timing when a predetermined time has elapsed since the chat activation or after the chat ended. In addition, the chat control unit 204 of the management server 20 may change the time until the chat room screen is deleted according to the number of users who participated in the chat. You may make it time to erase a chat room screen become long. For example, when the number of users who participated in the chat is 2 users, the chat room screen is deleted 30 minutes after the chat activation or the chat end is detected, and when the number of users who participated in the chat is 3 users or more, The chat room screen may be deleted 24 hours after the chat activation or the chat end is detected.

  Further, even after the chat room screen is erased, a shooting icon is displayed on the map screen for a predetermined period (for example, a sticker in step S302) in order to enable shooting between users who have been chatting. May be displayed for 24 hours after the transmission.

  In step S305, the operation reception unit 103 of the terminal 10Y determines whether or not the shooting icon is pressed. If the shooting icon is pressed, the process proceeds to step S306. If the shooting icon is not pressed, the process ends.

  In step S306, the operation reception unit 103 of the terminal 10Y notifies the management server 20 that the shooting icon has been pressed, and the process proceeds to the processing procedure of step S203 in FIG.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating a screen display example until a chat is started between users. FIG. 14A shows an example of a map screen. For example, the user selects a user who wants to send a sticker by selecting a user icon displayed on the map screen. The number of selected users is displayed on the left side of the icon 1201. When the icon 1202 is pressed, the screen transitions to FIG. FIG. 14B shows an example of a screen for selecting a sticker. The user selects a sticker to be sent from the stickers displayed in the sticker selection area 1203. The user selected on the screen of FIG. 14A is displayed in the display area 1204. In addition, when a plurality of users are selected as the sticker transmission destination, the sticker is sent in the display area 1204 in a mode in which the fact that the sticker is sent is shared by all the plurality of users (hereinafter referred to as “shared mode”). Or a button for selecting whether to transmit a sticker in a mode in which a sticker is individually sent to each of a plurality of users (hereinafter referred to as “non-shared mode”). When the transmission icon 1206 is pressed, the selected sticker is transmitted to the transmission destination user.

  When a sticker is sent in shared mode, the image of the user who received the sticker is displayed on the screen of the user who received the sticker along with the image icon or user name of the user who sent the sticker and the received sticker. The name is also displayed. In other words, the user who has received the sticker can grasp the user to whom the sticker has been sent other than himself / herself. On the other hand, when the sticker is transmitted in the non-shared mode, only the image icon or the user name of the user who transmitted the sticker and the received sticker are displayed on the screen of the user who received the sticker. In other words, the user who has received the sticker cannot know to which user the sticker has been sent.

  For example, when the user A wants to perform a group chat in the same chat room as the users B, C, and D, the user A may transmit the sticker in the sharing mode. Further, for example, if user A is anyone among users B, C, and D and wants to chat individually in the chat room, user A may transmit the sticker in the non-shared mode.

  As described above, in this SNS, the chat is started when the transmitted sticker and the returned sticker are a predetermined combination. When it is determined that the sent sticker and the returned sticker are a predetermined combination, the screen shown in FIG. 14C is displayed first, and then the chat room screen shown in FIG. 14D is displayed. Is done. A message display area 1207 and a shooting icon 1208 are displayed on the chat room screen. When the sticker is transmitted in the sharing mode, one chat room screen that allows chatting with the group is displayed. On the other hand, when the sticker is transmitted in the non-sharing mode, one or more chat room screens where only two people can chat are displayed. When the shooting icon 1208 is pressed, the screen transitions to the screen in FIG. On the screen of FIG. 10, one of the users participating in the chat is automatically designated as a photographer, and a predetermined operation is instructed to another user (photographed person). In addition, the photographer is instructed in what kind of atmosphere to shoot.

(Score calculation and score display)
The score management unit 205 of the management server 20 calculates a score for each user who uses this SNS. The score management unit 205 may calculate the score by any method. For example, when calculating the score for a certain user, another user performs the shooting on the shooting data that the user participated in shooting. Voting results (for example, the number evaluated as UP or the average score), the contents of a predetermined operation instructed to the subject at the time of shooting the shooting data, the number of users who participated in shooting of the shooting data, You may make it calculate a score for every user based on the frequency | count or frequency of having image | photographed in the past with the user who posted the said imaging | photography data. In addition, the score management unit 205 determines whether the content of the predetermined operation instructed to the subject at the time of shooting the shooting data is an operation that is randomly determined from predetermined operations. The calculated score changes depending on whether it is the selected action or the action determined according to the area where the shooting is performed (for example, the action determined according to the advertisement). Also good.

  In this SNS, the range of users whose scores are calculated based on the posted shooting data may be users other than the user who posted the shooting data among the users who participated in shooting. For example, when shooting is performed by users A, B, and C and user A makes a posting, the posting is not considered when calculating the score of user A, but is considered when calculating the scores of users B and C. Also good. However, the posting is not limited to this, and the posting may be taken into consideration when calculating the score of the user A.

  The score management unit 205 updates the score for each user to the latest score by calculating the score of each user at a predetermined interval. The score management unit 205 calculates an average value of scores calculated in the past. For example, when the score has been calculated three times for a certain user and the respective scores are 40, 50, and 30, the average value of the user's score is 40.

  The display unit 102 of the terminal 10 displays the score calculated by the score management unit 205 of the management server 20 on the screen. FIG. 15A is an example of a screen that displays a score for each user who is connected to the user A and has established a relationship. The screen in FIG. 15A is displayed by pressing the “SCORE” tab on the screen in FIG. This screen displays information (user name) that identifies each of the users who have established a connection relationship with the user, and the average score value and the maximum score value assigned to each user, in descending order of the average value. It is a screen that displays side by side. When there are a plurality of users having the same score average value, a plurality of users having the same score average value are displayed in order of increasing maximum score value.

  FIG. 15B shows an average value or maximum value of scores given to other users who are connected to the predetermined user for a predetermined user who has established a connection relationship with the user. The screens are displayed in descending order. FIG. 15B is displayed, for example, by pressing a user name or the like in FIG. In the example of FIG. 15B, three users (user M, user P, and user Q) are displayed in the display area 1302 in descending order of the average or maximum score. The number of displayed users is not limited to three, but may be one or two, or four or more.

  FIG. 15 (c) shows an average value or maximum value of scores given to other users who are connected to the predetermined user for a predetermined user who is not connected to the user. The screens are displayed in descending order. Similar to the display area 1302, the display area 1303 displays three users (user M, user P, and user Q) in descending order of the average or maximum score value. The number of displayed users is not limited to three, but may be one or two, or four or more. Further, FIG. 15C is a screen for displaying a predetermined user who is not connected to the user and does not establish a relationship, and therefore a button (+ ADD FREND) for making a friend request is displayed in the display area 1303.

  The user whose score displayed in the display area 1302 and the display area 1303 is higher is connected to the user who uses the terminal 10 that displays FIG. 15B and FIG. Is displayed. For example, it is assumed that the user using the terminal 10 is the user A. In the display area 1302, the scores of the user M, the user P, and the user Q are displayed, but the user M, the user P, and the user Q are connected to the user A regardless of whether or not they are connected. 15 (b) and FIG. 15 (c). Thereby, each user can grasp | ascertain how much the user with whom he is connected is connected with the other user who has acquired the high score. Thus, for example, in this SNS, assuming that a user who has obtained a high score is recognized as a “cool” user, for example, “that user is connected to a super cool user. It is possible to make other users recognize such as “
