Description

  The present invention relates to a matching system that supports meeting a person who meets a desired condition from a large number of persons.

  Various events are held to build new relationships through the participation of many people who are not acquainted and talking face to face. For example, in “City Con”, which aims to create encounters between men and women and revitalize the region, a large number of men and women visit a plurality of stores and tourist facilities in the region to find a suitable partner and seek friendship. There are also many parties where people from different industries exchange information to find new business partners.

  In such an event, there is an advantage that you can touch each other face-to-face with each other, but whether you are a partner that meets the conditions you want, after a conversation for a certain amount of time Otherwise I don't know. For this reason, finding a person who meets your requirements from a large number of people moving in the direction you want in the event venue (event holding area) within a limited time, The situation is quite difficult.

  Therefore, in view of the above situation, the present invention has an object to provide a matching system that supports meeting people who meet the conditions that he / she desires in an event holding area where a large number of people participate. It is.

In order to solve the above problems, the matching system according to the present invention is:
“The management server managed by the event organizer,
A communication device capable of communicating with the management server via a communication network, including a radio wave receiver capable of receiving radio waves for near field communication, and a portable information terminal carried by a participant of the event;
As a radio transmitter that transmits radio waves for short-range communication, the portable radio transmitter that the participant carries,
The portable information terminal
Based on the input of the participant, the profile information about the participant himself / herself and the desired condition information desired for the meeting partner are transmitted to the management server,
When the radio wave receiver receives a radio wave including a transmitter ID which is an identification code of the radio wave transmitter, the received transmitter ID is transmitted to the management server together with a portable terminal ID which is an identification code of the portable information terminal of itself. Send
The management server
For each participant, the portable terminal ID of the portable information terminal to be carried and the transmitter ID of the portable radio wave transmitter to be carried are stored in association with each other, and the profile information transmitted from the portable information terminal And storing the desired condition information in association with the portable terminal ID,
When a participant receives his mobile terminal ID and the transmitter ID of the other party transmitted from the mobile information terminal when the participant approaches another participant, the mobile terminal ID is associated with the mobile terminal ID. The desired condition information is compared with the profile information associated with the transmitter ID of the other party, and a matching level is calculated as the degree that the profile information satisfies the desired condition information. If at least one of the levels is equal to or higher than a predetermined value, the partner whose matching level is determined to be equal to or higher than the predetermined value is located at a short distance on the portable information terminal of at least one participant "Notify".

  In the matching system configured as described above, at the start of the event or prior to the start of the event, just send your profile information and the desired condition information that you want to the other party to the management server. A matching process is performed with a participant who is in, and the matching level is notified. This allows you to obtain information about whether the person matches your desired condition information and how much matching is possible before actually talking face to face. it can. Therefore, according to the matching system of this configuration, it is easy to meet people who meet the conditions desired by the user in a limited time in an event holding area where a large number of people participate.

  As the “portable information terminal”, a portable information terminal with a telephone function such as a smartphone or a tablet-type portable information terminal can be used.

  Further, when person A and person B are close to each other, B matching level for A (the degree that B's profile information matches A's desired condition information) and A's matching level for B (B's desired condition information) To the extent that A's profile information matches). In this case, even if the notification of the determination result performed from the management server to the portable information terminal is performed only when both the matching levels are determined to be equal to or higher than the predetermined value, only one of the matching levels is equal to or higher than the predetermined value. It may be performed including the case where it is determined. This is because some people would like to meet and have a conversation if they are determined to be desirable to the other party even if the other party does not meet the conditions they desire.

  In addition, the notification of the determination result is performed only for the portable information terminal of one participant, even if it is performed for both portable information terminals of the participant for which the matching process has been performed. May be. For example, when it is determined that the person B is desirable for the person A but the person A is not desirable for the person B, the determination result may be notified only to the person A. If the event is for the purpose of creating an encounter between a man and a woman, whether or not to notify the determination result to the male mobile information terminal by first notifying the determination result to the mobile information terminal on the female side For women, it is possible to give priority to the judgment of women. This will make it easier for women who are expected to be more likely to refuse even if they want to decline the actual conversation with the other party after being informed of the judgment results. Can do.

  In addition to the above-described configuration, the matching system according to the present invention may be “further includes a fixed radio wave transmitter fixed in the event holding area as the radio wave transmitter”.

  In this configuration, the fixed radio wave transmitter can be a reference for knowing the current location of the participant. That is, when the portable information terminal receives the radio wave of the fixed radio wave transmitter, the received transmitter ID is transmitted to the management server together with the mobile terminal ID, so that the participant carrying the portable information terminal can receive the fixed radio wave transmitter. The management server can acquire information indicating that the user is near. Thereby, for example, a map imitating the event holding area is displayed on a display or the like installed in the event holding area, and participants (portable information terminals) are displayed on the map based on the coordinates of the fixed radio wave transmitter. The current approximate position of can be displayed. Therefore, in order to efficiently receive matching processing with event participants, such as when there are both event participants and non-event participants in the event holding area, The participant can obtain information such as whether to move around.

  It is also possible to install a fixed radio wave transmitter together with treasure for a treasure hunt game. In this case, when the portable information terminal receives the radio wave of the fixed radio wave transmitter, the received transmitter ID is transmitted to the management server together with the portable terminal ID, so that the participant carrying the portable information terminal is near the treasure. The management server can acquire information indicating that the user is in (that is, found a treasure). As a result, a treasure hunting game can be enjoyed at an event for matching people, and the event can be made more entertaining. In addition, two participants who have a high degree of matching can enjoy a game together to further increase intimacy.

In addition to the above configuration, the matching system according to the present invention includes:
“The management server
Storing the combination of the portable terminal ID and the transmitter ID determined to have a matching level equal to or higher than a predetermined value in a determination result database;
When the transmitter ID transmitted from the portable information terminal to the management server together with the portable terminal ID is the identification code of the fixed radio wave transmitter, the time when the portable terminal ID and the transmitter ID are received Is stored in the fixed point time database in association with the portable terminal ID,
Every time a predetermined time elapses, the fixed point time database and the determination result database are referred to, and the matching level is determined to be equal to or higher than a predetermined value in the portable terminal ID newly stored in the fixed point time database. It is determined whether or not a combination that has been made exists ”.

  According to this configuration, the management server obtains information that the matching level is determined to be high by the matching process and that the two participants who have received the notification are at the same place at approximately the same time thereafter. Can do. In other words, two participants who are judged to have a high matching level are making good use of the judgment results in the matching process, and actually building face-to-face conversations with each other. You can think that you are. Therefore, it is not possible to know whether the judgment result is actually utilized just by notifying the judgment result by the matching process. In the matching system of this configuration, whether the judgment result is utilized after the judgment. The administrator can grasp the progress.

  As described above, as an effect of the present invention, it is possible to provide a matching system that supports meeting people who meet the conditions desired by the user in an event holding area where a large number of people participate.

  On the other hand, the mobile information terminal 20 uses a smartphone in this embodiment, and has a hardware configuration, a storage device composed of a main storage device and an auxiliary storage device, and a central processing that performs information processing according to a program stored in the storage device Apparatus, communication apparatus for transmitting and receiving information and performing voice communication via communication network 90, a touch panel in which a position input device is combined with a display device using a liquid crystal panel, a radio wave receiver for receiving radio waves, and a camera ing. The radio wave receiver according to the present embodiment has a Bluetooth (registered trademark) function for receiving radio waves of 2.45 GHz.

  Each of the radio wave transmitters 30 is a beacon module that transmits radio waves of 2.45 GHz at predetermined time intervals. Among them, the portable radio wave transmitter 31 is attached to an object carried by all the participants, such as a name plate and a participant badge. The intensity of the radio wave of the portable radio wave transmitter 31 is adjusted so that the radio wave receiver within a relatively short distance (about 3 m in this embodiment) can receive the radio wave. On the other hand, the fixed radio wave transmitters 32 serving as a reference for knowing the current positions of the participants are installed in various places in the event holding area, and the radio wave intensity is relatively long (in this embodiment, about 10 m) so that radio waves can be received by the radio wave receiver. On the other hand, two fixed radio wave transmitters 33a and 33b arranged together with treasures for a treasure hunting game are arranged for one treasure. One of them is a fixed radio wave transmitter 33a whose radio wave intensity is adjusted so that radio waves can be received by a radio wave receiver within a relatively long distance (in this embodiment, about 10 m), and the other is a short distance ( In the present embodiment, it is a fixed radio wave transmitter 33b whose radio wave intensity is adjusted so that radio waves can be received by a radio wave receiver of about 1 m). As the treasure, for example, an image of an event character or a stuffed toy can be used, and it is hidden and arranged so that it cannot be easily seen.

  As the fixed display device 41, a large display is used in this embodiment. As the display management device 42, as a hardware configuration, a storage device composed of a main storage device and an auxiliary storage device, a central processing device that performs information processing according to a program stored in the storage device, and information via a communication network 90 A general-purpose computer including a communication device that transmits / receives data is used.

  Next, the functional configuration will be described. The management server 10 associates the portable terminal ID with the transmitter ID and stores them in the ID database 61, the profile information transmitted from the portable information terminal 20, and the desired information. Participating based on reception of radio waves transmitted from the fixed radio wave transmitter 32, determination information registration means 52 for storing condition information in association with the portable terminal ID in the determination information database 63, determination means 53 for performing matching processing Position information registering means 54 for acquiring a person's position information, point issuing means 55 for issuing points based on reception of radio waves transmitted from the fixed radio wave transmitter 33b, and whether or not the determination result is effectively utilized thereafter A post-determination progress grasping means 56 for obtaining information on the communication, and a communication system for controlling information communication via the communication network 90 As a means 57, and a program causing a computer to function.

  On the other hand, the portable information terminal 20 receives the profile information about the participant himself / herself and the desired condition information he / she wishes to meet with the information receiving means for accepting the participant's input, and the inputted profile information and desired condition information. When the information transmitting means for transmitting to the management server 10 and the radio wave receiver 30 receive the transmitter ID, the transmitter ID is transmitted to the management server 10 together with the portable terminal ID which is the identification code of the own portable information terminal 20. Based on the input of the ID transmission means, the notification display means for displaying the first notification or the second notification received from the management server 10 on the display screen, and the input of the participant when receiving the first notification, the other party is also notified. A reply means for transmitting a signal indicating consent / non-agreement to be sent to the management server 10 and storing the determination result notified from the management server 10 in the storage device Both as a determination result management unit configured to display the list, and a program to function a microcomputer. This program is application software corresponding to an event, and the portable information terminal 20 in which this application software is already installed can be lent to the participants. Alternatively, the mobile information terminal 20 personally owned by the participant prior to the start of the event accesses the management server 10 via the communication network 90 and downloads the application software from the management server 10 to the mobile information terminal 20 It may be.

  Similarly to the portable information terminal 20 with a normal telephone function, the portable information terminal 20 includes a microcomputer as information communication means for controlling information communication via the communication network 90 and voice communication means for controlling voice communication. It has a program that makes it work.

  Further, the display management device 42 is a map display means for displaying a map imitating the event holding area on the screen of the fixed display device 41 by associating the real world coordinates with the two-dimensional coordinates on the screen of the fixed display device 41. A program for causing a computer to function is provided.

  Next, the flow of processing in the matching system 1 of this embodiment will be described. In the matching system 1 of the present embodiment, “matching processing”, “processing for issuing points in a treasure hunting game”, “processing for grasping progress after determination”, and “processing for guiding the current position of the participant” are performed. Is called. In any process, information for identifying the portable information terminal 20 and the radio wave transmitter 30 is necessary. Therefore, prior to the start of the event, the administrator creates the ID database 61 and the fixed transmitter database 62 and stores them in the storage device of the management server 10. Here, the ID database 61 associates the portable terminal ID of the portable information terminal 20 and the transmitter ID of the portable radio wave transmitter 31 for each participant. Further, in the fixed transmitter database 62, for the fixed radio transmitter 32 used as a reference for the current position of the participant, the transmitter ID and its coordinates are associated with each other, and the fixed radio transmitter is arranged together with the treasure hunting game treasure. As for the devices 33a and 33b, two fixed radio wave transmitters for one treasure are fixed radio wave transmitters 33a that transmit radio waves that can be received by a radio wave receiver that is relatively far away, and radio wave receivers that are close to each other. The fixed radio wave transmitter 33b that transmits a receivable radio wave is associated with the transmitter ID so as to be distinguished.

<Matching process>
At the start of the event, each participant registers profile information and desired condition information. Specifically, when the event application software is activated on each personal digital assistant 20, the title screen is displayed, and the display is switched to the event selection screen after a few seconds. On the event selection screen, selection buttons for the dates and names of a plurality of city cons are displayed. When a city con participates in the event selection, a profile input screen as shown in FIG. 2A is displayed. . On the profile input screen, basic information consisting of a name and its hiragana, gender information, and profile information consisting of a plurality of contrast items can be entered. By operating the “Send” button after the input, basic information, gender information, and profile information are transmitted from the portable information terminal 20 to the management server 10. In addition, the profile picture of the participant can be transmitted to the management server 10 from the profile input screen. As the image data of the profile picture, image data obtained by photographing with a camera included in the portable information terminal 20 or image data read into the portable information terminal 20 from the outside can be used. These pieces of information transmitted from the profile input screen are transmitted to the management server 10 together with the portable terminal ID of the portable information terminal 20.

  When the transmission of information from the profile input screen to the management server 10 is completed, a desired information input screen as shown in FIG. 2B is displayed. On the desired information input screen, desired condition information composed of the same number of contrast items as that of the profile information can be input. By operating the “Send” button after the input, the desired condition information is sent to the management server 10 together with the portable terminal ID.

  Here, the profile information, which is information relating to itself, and the desired condition information, which is a condition required for the meeting partner, are composed of the same or corresponding comparison items. In this embodiment, the comparison items are “age”, “height”, “hometown”, “profession”, “annual income”, “hobby”, “my type / favorite type”, “my personality / like” A case where there are 10 types of “personal character”, “favorite food”, and “favorite fashion” is illustrated. The profile information and the desired condition information can be input by selecting from choices displayed in a pull-down display on the profile input screen and the desired information input screen, respectively.

  In each contrast item, the desired condition information is set in a wide range including profile information. For example, when the “age” of the profile information is a single numerical value calculated from the date of birth, the “age” of the desired condition information can be in a numerical range of “O” to “Y”. In addition, when the “Birthplace” of the profile information is selected from the choices of municipalities, the “Birthplace” of the desired condition information is the choices of prefectures, Chubu, Kansai, etc. in addition to the choices of municipalities It can be set to be selectable from choices of regional units. Further, the option of the desired condition information may be an option in which “no hope” is added in addition to the option common to the profile information.

  The common options for profile information and desired condition information are “hobby” options: “reading”, “music appreciation”, “movie appreciation”, “cooking”, “shopping”, “drive”, “ “Touring (bicycle)”, “touring (automobile)”, “running”, “tennis”, “basket”, “soccer”, “futsal” can be exemplified. The options for “My Type / Favorite Type” are “Speak from yourself”, “Not a person to talk to”, “Become friends with people”, “Pleasant”, “Sober”, “Flashy”, For example, “I like talking” and “I like listening more”. Examples of options of “my personality / favorite personality” include “bright”, “dark”, “positive”, “reactive”, “behavior”, and “passive”. Choices of “favorite food” include “Western food”, “Japanese food”, “Chinese food”, “Italian”, “French”, “Vegetable”, “Meat”, “Curry”, “Bread”, “Fast” “Food” can be exemplified. “Favorite fashion” options include “Harajuku”, “Shibuya”, “Amekaji”, “Formal”, “Casual”, “Trad”, “Brand”, “Sober”, “Japanese clothing” can do.

  When the management server 10 receives the basic information, gender information, profile information, profile picture image data, and desired condition information transmitted from the portable information terminal 20, the management server 10 associates these information with the portable terminal ID, as shown in FIG. The information is stored in the determination information database 63 as shown.

  In the portable information terminal 20 that has transmitted the desired condition information to the management server 10, a matching screen is displayed indicating that the matching process is possible. The participant selects the “Start” button on this screen and participates in the town contest. Once the profile information and the desired condition information are sent to the management server 10, the event application software is restarted, and if the same event is selected again on the event selection screen, the profile entry screen does not appear. The matching screen is displayed.

  When the “Start” button is selected on the matching screen, the portable information terminal 20 starts processing for determining whether or not the radio wave receiver receives radio waves. When the radio wave receiver receives radio waves, the mobile radio terminal 20 includes the received radio waves. The transmitter ID is transmitted to the management server 10 together with its own mobile terminal ID. The radio wave receiver of the portable information terminal 20 receives radio waves from the fixed radio wave transmitters 32, 33a, and 33b fixed in the event holding area, and when the participant is in close proximity, the participant carries the radio wave receiver. The radio wave from the portable radio wave transmitter 31 is received. In addition, it receives radio waves from the portable radio wave transmitter 31 carried by the person.

  When the management server 10 receives the combination of the portable terminal ID and the transmitter ID (YES in step S1 in the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 4 and 5), the transmitter ID associated with the portable terminal ID is obtained from the ID database 61. By extracting and comparing with the received transmitter ID, it is confirmed whether or not the received transmitter ID is inconsistent with the transmitter ID of the portable radio wave transmitter 31 carried by itself (step S2). If it is the transmitter ID of the portable radio wave transmitter 31 that is being carried (NO in step S2), it returns to the state of waiting for reception of the portable terminal ID and transmitter ID (step S1). If it is different from the transmitter ID of the portable radio transmitter 31 carried by itself (YES in step S2), the fixed transmitter database 62 is referred to and the received transmitter ID is the fixed radio transmitter 32. , 33a, 33b is confirmed to be inconsistent with the transmitter ID (step S3). If it is different from the transmitter ID of the fixed radio wave transmitters 32, 33a, 33b (YES in step S3), it is the transmitter ID of the portable radio wave transmitter 31 of another participant. Therefore, the gender information associated with the received portable terminal ID is extracted from the determination information database 63 (step S4), and the portable terminal ID associated with the received transmitter ID is extracted from the ID database 61 and extracted. Gender information associated with the portable terminal ID is extracted from the determination information database 63 (step S5). Then, it is determined whether the extracted two sex information is opposite sex (step S6). If they are of the same sex (NO in step S6), the matching process is not performed, so the mobile terminal ID and the transmitter ID are received. Return to the standby state (step S1).

  If it is the opposite sex (YES in step S6), it is a target for performing the matching process in the matching system 1 of the present embodiment. Here, for convenience of explanation, the combination of the received portable terminal ID and transmitter ID is the portable terminal ID of the portable information terminal 20 carried by Mr. A (female) and the portable radio wave carried by Mr. B (male). The description will be made assuming that the transmitter ID is the transmitter 31.

  The management server 10 refers to the determination result database 64 and confirms that the combination of the mobile terminal ID and the transmitter ID, which is a combination of the opposite sex, is not a combination that has already been matched (step S7). If the result obtained is a combination stored in the determination result database 64 (NO in step S7), the process returns to a state of waiting for reception of the portable terminal ID and the transmitter ID (step S1). If the combination has not yet been matched (YES in step S7), the desired condition information associated with the received mobile terminal ID (the condition that Mr. A desires for the other party) is extracted from the determination information database 63. At the same time, the mobile terminal ID associated with the received transmitter ID is extracted from the ID database 61, and the profile information (B's profile information) associated with the extracted mobile terminal ID is extracted from the determination information database 63 ( Step S8).

  Next, N, which is the number of the determination item, is set to 1, and M1, which is the number of determination items satisfying the desired condition information in the partner profile information, is set to 0 (step S9), and determination of determination item 1 is performed. For determination item 1 (“age” in the present embodiment), it is determined whether the desired condition information matches the other party's profile information (the profile information is included in the same or desired condition information) (step S10). If they do not match (NO in step S10), it is confirmed whether or not the desired condition information is “no hope” (step S11). If the desired condition information matches the profile information of the other party (YES in step S10) or if the desired condition information is "No hope" (YES in step S11), the other party's profile information satisfies the desired condition information. Therefore, 1 is added to M1 (step S12), and 1 is added to the determination item number N (step S13). If NO in step S11, the process proceeds to step S13 without adding M1.

  When the number of determination items is n (n = 10 in the present embodiment), the above steps S10 to S14 are repeated as long as N does not reach n (NO in step S14). When the determination is completed for all the determination items (YES in step S14), the partner transmitter ID and the determination result M1 value are stored in the determination result database 64 in association with the portable terminal ID (step S15). Here, M1 is the number of determination items (the number of items that Mr. B wants for Mr. A) that Mr. B satisfies the desired condition information that Mr. A desires for the other party.

  When the radio receiver of the mobile information terminal 20 of one of the two participants receives radio waves from the mobile radio transmitter 31 of the other participant, the two receivers It is close to the distance that can be received. Therefore, the radio wave receiver of the portable information terminal 20 of the other participant must also receive the radio wave from the portable radio wave transmitter 31 of the one participant. Here, the radio receiver of Mr. B's portable information terminal 20 should also receive radio waves from Mr. A's portable radio transmitter 31.

  Therefore, the management server 10 checks whether or not a combination of the mobile terminal ID and the transmitter ID, which is such a reverse combination, has been received (step S16). If not received (NO in step S16), a slight time difference may be considered, so the confirmation is repeated until the predetermined time elapses (NO in step S17, step S16), and if the predetermined time elapses without receiving ( In step S17, YES), since it is considered that it cannot be received for some reason such as an obstacle, the process returns to a state of waiting for reception of a new portable terminal ID and transmitter ID (step S1).

  If a combination of portable terminal ID and transmitter ID, which is the opposite combination, has been received (YES in step S16), desired condition information associated with the received portable terminal ID (conditions that Mr. B desires for the other party) Is extracted from the determination information database 63, the portable terminal ID associated with the received transmitter ID is extracted from the ID database 61, and the profile information associated with the extracted portable terminal ID (Mr. A's profile information) is extracted. Extracted from the determination information database 63 (step S18). Thereafter, n determination items are determined as in steps S9 to S15, and the determination results are stored in the determination result database 64 (steps S19 to S25). Here, M2 is the number of determination items (the number of items in which Mr. A is desirable for Mr. B) that Mr. A's profile information satisfies the desired condition information desired by Mr. B.

  In this embodiment, the matching level as the degree to which the other party's profile information satisfies the desired condition information is defined as “number of determination items (M1, M2)” that the profile information satisfies the desired condition information, and M1 and M2 If both of them are equal to or greater than a predetermined value m (for example, 3 or more), the determination result is notified to the participant that the matching level is high. Therefore, it is determined whether each of M1 and M2 is greater than or equal to m (steps S26 and S27), and if at least one is less than m (NO for step S26 or YES for step S26 but NO for step S27). Then, the process returns to a state of waiting for reception of a new portable terminal ID and transmitter ID without notifying the determination result (step S1).

  If both M1 and M2 are greater than or equal to m (YES in step S26 and YES in step S27), first, the partner determined to have a high matching level is located close to the portable information terminal 20 on the female side. A “first notification” is sent to push-transmit “matched opposite sex is near”, which is a notification notifying that the user is doing (step S28). At this time, the determination result, the basic information of the other party, the profile information, and the image data of the other party's profile picture are also transmitted together. The determination result represents the ratio of the number of determination items satisfying the desired condition information to the total number of determination items as a percentage. When n = 10, “M1 × 10%” and “M2 × 10%” It is. The female mobile information terminal 20 that has received the first notification displays the content of the notification on the display screen.

  The display screen of the first notification has a “notify partner” button and a “not notify partner” button. When a female participant who has confirmed the content of the first notification selects one of the buttons, each button A signal corresponding to the button is returned to the management server 10. Before receiving this reply signal (NO in step S29), the management server 10 waits for a reply until a predetermined time elapses (NO in step S30, step S29), and the predetermined time has passed without receiving the reply signal. In the case (YES in step S30), the management server 10 returns to a state of waiting for reception of a new portable terminal ID and transmitter ID (step S1).

  When the management server 10 receives a signal corresponding to the “notify other party” button (YES in step S29, YES in step S31), the management server 10 indicates that the matching level of the male mobile information terminal 20 is high. Push notification of "matched opposite sex is near", a notification that informs that the judged partner is located close together with the judgment result and the partner's basic information, profile information, and profile picture image data The “second notification” is performed (step S32). The male portable information terminal 20 that has received the second notification displays the content of the notification on the display screen.

  The woman who has received the first notification and the man who has received the second notification should compare the profile picture and name of the other person displayed on the display screen of the portable information terminal 20 with the faces and nameplates of nearby people, respectively. Can identify the other party and talk to them. In addition, when a participant carries a plate or badge with a participant number instead of a name plate, the participant number is included in the basic information and the participant number is included in the notification contents of the first notification and the second notification. It may be included. Moreover, while including the telephone number of the smart phone which is the portable information terminal 20 in basic information, it is good also as including a telephone number in the notification content of a 1st notification or a 2nd notification. As a result, it is possible to clearly identify the other party by calling the telephone number and ringing the other party's smartphone.

  On the other hand, when the management server 10 receives a signal corresponding to the “not notify partner” button (YES in step S29, NO in step S31), the management server 10 makes a second notification to the male portable information terminal 20 Without waiting for reception of new portable terminal ID and transmitter ID, it returns (step S1).

  The portable information terminal 20 that has received the first notification or the second notification stores the notification information in the storage device. Thereafter, based on the input of the user who requests the list display, all the determination results notified by the portable information terminal 20 can be displayed on the display screen together with the name and profile photo of the other party. Note that the female mobile information terminal 20 adds information that can distinguish between the case where the “notify other party” button is selected and the case where the “not notify other party” button is selected to the contents of the first notification. Then, it is stored in the storage device, and the determination result can be displayed on the display screen together with the information.

  As described above, in the matching system 1 of the present embodiment, at the start of an event or prior to the start of the event, only the own profile information and desired condition information desired by the other party are transmitted to the management server 10. Does not require active access to the management server 10, matching processing with a participant near him is performed, and a determination result is notified. This allows you to obtain information about whether the person matches your desired condition information and how much matching is possible before actually talking face to face. it can. Therefore, according to the matching system 1 of the present embodiment, it is easy to meet a person who meets the conditions he desires within a limited time in an event holding area where a large number of people participate.

<Process to issue points in a treasure hunt game>
When the management server 10 receives the transmitter ID received from the portable information terminal 20 together with the portable terminal ID, the transmitter ID of the fixed radio wave transmitters 32, 33a, 33b stored in the fixed transmitter database 62 ( In step S3, NO, the process proceeds to step S41 of the flowchart shown in FIG. 6 to check whether the transmitter IDs of the fixed radio wave transmitters 33a and 33b are arranged together with the treasure of the treasure hunt game. If the transmitter IDs of the fixed radio wave transmitters 33a and 33b (YES in step S41), the fixed radio wave transmission that transmits a radio wave having a strength that can be received by a radio wave receiver within a short distance (about 1 m in the present embodiment). Whether or not the transmitter ID of the machine 33b is confirmed (step S42). If not (NO in step S42), the transmitter ID of the fixed radio wave transmitter 33a that transmits a radio wave having a strength that can be received by a radio wave receiver within a relatively far distance (about 10 m in the present embodiment). . That is, the participant carrying the portable information terminal 20 specified from the portable terminal ID is located within a radius of about 10 m from the treasure. Therefore, the management server 10 transmits a message informing the mobile information terminal 20 that there is a treasure near the treasure (step S43). Participants who receive this message move while carefully observing the surroundings to discover the treasure.

  If it is the transmitter ID of the fixed radio wave transmitter 33b that transmits a radio wave of a strength that can be received by a radio wave receiver at a short distance (YES in step S42), the participant is in the immediate vicinity of the treasure. Judgment is made and a coupon is issued to the participant. When issuing the coupon, the time when the management server 10 received the mobile terminal ID and the transmitter ID is recorded in the fixed point time database 65 in association with the mobile terminal ID and the transmitter ID (step S44). This fixed point time database 65 includes information indicating that the mobile information terminal 20 (or participant) specified by the mobile terminal ID was present near the fixed radio wave transmitter 33b specified by the transmitter ID at that time. It is a database. Then, a message notifying that the coupon has been issued is sent to the participant's portable information terminal 20 and voucher data is transmitted (step S45). After step S43 and step S45, a new portable terminal ID and It returns to the state (step S1) which waits for reception of transmitter ID.

  As described above, by using the fixed radio wave transmitter for the treasure hunt game, the street player in which the matching process is performed can be made an event with higher entertainment.

<Process to grasp progress after judgment>
The management server 10 checks the fixed point time database 65 every elapse of a predetermined time t (for example, 1 minute) (YES in step S51 in the flowchart of FIG. 7). In the fixed point time database 65, the time when the coupon is issued as described above is stored in association with the portable terminal ID of the issue destination. Therefore, a new coupon is stored in the fixed point time database 65 during the time t. It is determined whether or not there is a combination of participants whose matching levels (M1 and M2) are determined to be m or more in the mobile terminal IDs registered for issuance (step S52). More specifically, it is checked whether or not the mobile terminal ID newly registered for coupon issuance is stored in the determination result database 64. If it is stored, the transmitter ID of the matching partner is determined as the determination result. Extract from database 64. Further, the mobile terminal ID associated with the extracted transmitter ID is extracted from the ID database 61, and the extracted mobile terminal ID is newly registered in the fixed point time database 65 during the time t. It is determined whether it exists in the other portable terminal ID.

  If it exists (YES in step S52), it is determined that the matching level is high by the matching process, and it can be considered that the two participants who have received the notification are subsequently participating in the treasure hunt game together. In other words, it can be considered that a good human relationship is being built by effectively using the determination result in the matching process and actually having face-to-face conversations. Therefore, only by notifying the participant of the determination result by the matching process, it is not possible to grasp whether the determination result is actually utilized.In this embodiment, the progress of whether the determination result was utilized after the determination, It can be grasped by the administrator.

  In the present embodiment, if YES is determined in step S52, the portable terminal IDs of the two participants are associated and stored in the good progress database 66 (step S53), and present to the two portable information terminals 20 And a voucher data are transmitted (step S54). In the case of NO in step S52, the process proceeds to measurement of the next elapse of time t (step S3).

<Process to guide participants' current location>
The transmitter ID received together with the portable terminal ID from the portable information terminal 20 by the management server 10 is the transmitter ID of the fixed radio wave transmitter, but the transmitter IDs of the fixed radio wave transmitters 33a and 33b arranged with the treasure. If not (NO in step S41 of the flowchart of FIG. 6), the transmitter ID is the transmitter ID of the fixed radio wave transmitter 32 that serves as a reference for the current position of the participant. Therefore, the management server 10 associates the portable terminal ID with the transmitter ID, records them in the position information database 67 together with the time (step S46), and then waits for reception of a new portable terminal ID and transmitter ID. (Step S1).

  As described above, the display management device 42 causes the fixed display device 41 to display a map simulating the event holding area by matching the coordinates of the real world with the two-dimensional coordinates on the screen of the fixed display device 41. Further, the management server 10 is accessed in advance to acquire information on the transmitter ID of the fixed radio wave transmitter 32 and its coordinates from the fixed transmitter database 62, and the coordinates of the fixed radio wave transmitter 32 on the screen displaying the map are specified. ing. Then, the display management device 42 accesses the management server 10 at predetermined time intervals, reads the position information database 67, and coordinates of the fixed radio wave transmitter 32 identified by the transmitter ID on the map simulating the event holding area. An icon indicating the portable information terminal 20 is displayed in the vicinity of (in the present embodiment, within a radius of about 10 m).

  Thereby, since the position of the portable information terminal 20 on the map simulating the event holding area is updated at predetermined time intervals, it is possible to grasp how the participant moves in the event holding area. Can do. In town con, there are many people who are not participants in the event. For this reason, when the determination result in the matching process is not easily notified, it is difficult to determine whether there is no person matching the desired condition nearby or whether the event participant itself is not in the first place. Even in such a case, by looking at the map displayed on the screen of the fixed display device 41, it is possible to know the location where a large number of event participants are gathering. You can move to that location in search.

  In the position information database 67, gender information can be associated with the portable terminal ID and stored. By doing in this way, in the map displayed on the screen of the fixed display device 41, the icon of the male portable information terminal 20 and the icon of the female portable information terminal 20 can be displayed with different colors and shapes. This makes it easy to understand at a glance the distribution of male and female participants in the event holding area.

  Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various improvements and design changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. It is.

  For example, in the above description, the management server determines whether or not the transmitter ID included in the radio wave received by the radio wave receiver of the portable information terminal 20 is the transmitter ID of the mobile radio wave transmitter 31 carried by itself. The case of performing was illustrated. On the other hand, by storing the transmitter ID of the portable radio wave transmitter 31 carried by the portable information terminal in advance, the transmitter ID included in the radio wave received by the radio wave receiver of the portable information terminal 20 is: The determination of whether or not the transmitter ID of the portable radio wave transmitter 31 carried by the user may be made on the event application software side installed in the portable information terminal 20.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the communication network 90 is the Internet has been illustrated. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the event is held indoors, such as a party where people of different industries gather, a wireless LAN may be used as a communication network.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, a case where the determination result is notified to the portable information terminal 20 when both the matching levels M1 and M2 are equal to or higher than a predetermined value is illustrated. Without being limited thereto, the determination result can be notified to the portable information terminal 20 even when one of the matching levels M1 and M2 is equal to or higher than a predetermined value. For events that look for business partners, there are people who want to meet and have a conversation if they meet the conditions they want, even if they do not meet the conditions they want. It is.

  In addition, the case where the matching level is the number of determination items whose profile information satisfies the desired condition information has been illustrated above. For example, the matching level can be calculated by setting a weighting factor for each determination item.

  Moreover, in the above, the case where positive information is selected as an option as desired condition information desired by the other party is illustrated, but negative information (desired that the other party does not satisfy the condition) is selected as an option as a desired condition. can do. In this case, the matching level can be calculated by setting a positive coefficient for the option of positive information and a negative coefficient for the negative information.
