Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[1. First Embodiment]
[1-1. Questionnaire system configuration]
First, the configuration and functional outline of the questionnaire system S according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of an outline configuration of the questionnaire system S according to the present embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 1, the questionnaire system S includes an electronic shopping street server 1, a plurality of store terminals 2, and a plurality of user terminals 3. The electronic shopping street server 1 to the user terminal 3 are connected to each other via the network NW. The network NW is constructed by, for example, the Internet, a dedicated communication line (for example, a CATV (Community Antenna Television) line), a mobile communication network (including a base station, etc.), a gateway, and the like.

The electronic shopping street server 1 is a server device that manages a predetermined electronic shopping street. The electronic shopping street includes multiple stores that sell products. Each store is a virtual store on the virtual space, the Internet, or the Web. In the electronic shopping district, each store handles one or more products. The electronic shopping street server 1 transmits, for example, a web page of the electronic shopping street (or information for displaying the screen of the electronic shopping street) in response to a request from the user terminal 3. The electronic shopping street includes, for example, a top page, a search result page, a product page, and the like. The top page is a web page that is usually a landing page in an electronic shopping district. The search result page is a web page showing a list of products searched according to the search conditions input by the user. On each of the top page and the search result page, the user can request a search by specifying search conditions. Examples of search conditions include keywords, product categories, and other product attributes. A product page is a web page that provides information about a particular product. The product page may display the product name, price, product image, product specifications and description, delivery method, and various other information. The product page also includes, for example, a shopping cart button and a purchase procedure button. The shopping cart button is a button for putting the product shown on the product page into the shopping cart. The user can purchase the product by performing the purchase procedure for the product placed in the shopping cart. The purchase procedure button is a button for directly performing the purchase procedure of the product shown on the product page.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of an outline of a questionnaire according to the present embodiment. The electronic shopping street server 1 enables a user who uses the electronic shopping street to create a questionnaire about products. As a user who creates a questionnaire, a user who is worried about what kind of product should be purchased in an electronic shopping district or the like is assumed. As shown in FIG. 5, such a user creates a questionnaire by inputting a question about a product as a questioner 110. The question about the product may include, for example, the condition or request of the product that the questioner 110 wants. The desired product condition or request may be, for example, a product category or attribute, or a situation in which the product is used. Questioner 110 inputs, for example, the question "I want a light and small mobile battery."

As a recommender, the user who browses the question can suggest which product to buy. Specifically, the recommender selects a product to be recommended to the questioner from the products that can be purchased in the electronic shopping district. For example, the recommender 121 recommends product A, and the recommender 122 recommends product B. When more than a predetermined number of products are recommended for one question (one questionnaire), the user who browses the question and the recommended products will vote for any of those products as a voter. Is possible. Each user, for example, votes for a product that the user considers most suitable for the question, out of a plurality of products. For example, voter 131 votes for product A, and voters 132 and 133 vote for product B. The number of recommended products required is the number of recommended products that can be voted on. The required number of recommended products may be, for example, two or three or more.

The questioner 110 can view the aggregated result of the vote. The questioner 110 can select the product to be purchased by referring to the recommended product and the aggregated result of the vote. For example, if the number of votes obtained by product B is larger than the number of votes obtained by product A, the questioner 110 may purchase product B. Each of the recommender and the voter may be able to post comments about the recommended or voted product. The comment may include, for example, the reason why the recommender or voter recommends the product. For example, voter 131 posts a comment, "I bought A, but it's really light!" Questioner 110 can also view these comments. In addition, a user 140 (including any recommender or voter) other than the questioner 110 can also view the question, the recommended product, the aggregated result of the vote, and the comment. The user 140 may purchase the product A by referring to the comment while considering the aggregated result of the vote.

In this way, when a general user selects a product to be purchased through online shopping, the opinions of other users can be easily collected and referred to. In addition, the information on the products recommended by the recommender can be posted as an advertisement in the questionnaire. The advertiser in this case is, for example, a store in an electronic shopping district. Advertisers are different from questioners, recommenders and voters. The questionnaire system S is a system for a user different from the advertiser and the store to collect the opinions of other users, and is also a user participation type advertising system. It should be noted that the server device that processes the mediation of the sale and purchase of goods in the electronic shopping district and the server device that processes the questionnaire may be separate devices.

Each store terminal 2 is a terminal device used by the operator of a store that has opened a store in an electronic shopping district. Examples of the store terminal 2 include a tablet computer, a personal computer, and the like. The store terminal 2 transmits a request to the electronic shopping street server 1 based on the user's operation, and displays a web page transmitted from the electronic shopping street server 1 in response to the request. The store operator uses the store terminal 2 to create a product page and set an advertisement.

Each user terminal 3 is a terminal device used by a user who uses an electronic shopping street to purchase a product. Examples of the user terminal 3 include mobile information terminals such as smartphones and tablet computers, mobile phones, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), personal computers, set-top boxes, and the like. The user terminal 3 transmits a request to the electronic shopping street server 1 based on the user's operation, and displays a web page transmitted from the electronic shopping street server 1 in response to the request. When the user terminal 3 is a portable terminal device, an application dedicated to the electronic shopping district may be installed on the user terminal 3. In this case, the user terminal 3 displays a web page or screen of the electronic shopping street by the application.

Specifically, in the member DB 14a, information on the user ID, the nickname, and the number of points possessed is stored in association with each other as the member information. The user ID is identification information for identifying the user. The number of points held is the number of points currently held by the user. The point is the monetary value that can be applied to a part or all of the purchase price when purchasing a product in an electronic shopping district. For example, when a user purchases a product in an electronic shopping district, points corresponding to the purchase price may be given to the user.

In the product DB 14b, product information related to products sold in the electronic shopping district is stored for each product sold by each store. Specifically, in the product DB 14b, as product information, a store ID, a product ID, a product name, a category ID, a publication permission flag, a product image, a product description, a price, and the like are stored in association with each other. The store ID is identification information that identifies the store that is the seller of the target product. The product ID is identification information that identifies what kind of product the target product is sold from which store. The category ID indicates the category to which the target product belongs. The publication permission flag is information indicating whether or not the target product can be advertised in the questionnaire as a recommended product. A store can set in advance whether or not it is possible to place an advertisement for a product in a questionnaire for each product or for all products handled by the store.

In the questionnaire DB 14c, the questionnaire management information regarding the questionnaire is stored for each created questionnaire. Specifically, the questionnaire DB 14c stores at least the questionnaire ID, the questioner ID, the question, the questionnaire status, and the total number of votes as the questionnaire management information. The questionnaire ID is identification information that identifies the questionnaire. The questioner ID is the user ID of the user who created the questionnaire (the user who asked the question). The questionnaire status indicates the status of the questionnaire. The questionnaire status is set to one of "requesting", "voting", and "voting completed". "Requesting" indicates that it is impossible to vote for the recommended product because the number of recommended products for the question is less than the required number of recommended products. "Voting" indicates a state in which voting is possible because the number of recommended products is equal to or greater than the required number of recommended products. "Voting end" indicates that the voting is closed. For example, voting may be closed when the total number of votes reaches a predetermined number (for example, 100, etc.). The total number of votes is the total number of votes for all recommended products. The initial value of the total number of votes is zero. Each time a product is recommended to any user, the questionnaire DB 14c further stores the selected product information. The selected product information is information about the recommended product. The selected product information includes the selected product ID, the recommender ID, the comment, the vote information, and the like. The selected product ID is the product ID of the recommended product. The recommender ID is the user ID of the user who recommended the target product. The comment may include the reason why the recommender recommends the target product. The vote information is information about the vote for the recommended product. The vote information includes at least the number of votes. The initial value of the number of votes obtained is zero. Voter information is added to the voting information each time a vote is cast for the recommended target product. Voter information is information about voters. Voter information includes voter IDs and comments. The voter ID is the user ID of the user who voted. The comment may include the reason why the voter recommends the target product.

The storage unit 14 further stores various programs such as an operating system, a DBMS (Database Management System), and a server program. The server program is a program that causes the system control unit 11 to execute processing related to the electronic shopping district, such as mediation processing for buying and selling products and processing of questionnaires. The server program may be acquired from another device via the network NW, or may be recorded on a recording medium such as a magnetic tape, an optical disk, or a memory card and read via the drive device. May be good.

The communication unit 15 is composed of, for example, a network interface card or the like. The communication unit 15 connects to the store terminal 2 and the user terminal 3 via the network NW, and controls the communication state with these devices.

[1-3. Overview of system control functions]
Next, the outline of the function of the system control unit 11 in the electronic shopping street server 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 9. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a functional block of the system control unit 11 in the electronic shopping street server 1 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, the system control unit 11 reads and executes various program codes included in the server program, so that the system control unit 11 includes the question acquisition unit 1101, the product selection information acquisition unit 1102, and the voting screen display control unit 1103. It functions as a voting total result providing unit 1104, a reward giving unit 1105, and the like.

The question acquisition unit 1101 acquires a question about the product, which is a question input by the questioner, from the user terminal 3 used by the questioner. The question acquisition unit 1101 may store the acquired question in the storage unit 14. The question may include, for example, the conditions or requests for the product that the questioner wants. The condition of the product may include, for example, the category and attribute of the product, the situation in which the product is used, and the like. Examples of questions include "snacks that go well with beer," "a perfect birthday gift for a 5-year-old boy," and "a detergent that smells good, what do you recommend?"

The question acquisition unit 1101 accepts questions from the questioner via the web page or screen related to the questionnaire. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the requesting questionnaire list page 200. The requesting questionnaire list page 200 is one of the web pages related to the questionnaire. On the requesting questionnaire list page 200, a list of questionnaires (questions) whose questionnaire status is "requesting" is displayed. Specifically, the requesting questionnaire list page 200 includes a request button 210, a search condition input field 220, a questionnaire status menu 230, one or a plurality of questions 240, and the like. When the user presses the request button 210, the user terminal 3 may display the question input screen. When the user inputs a question on this question input screen, the user terminal 3 transmits the input question to the electronic shopping street server 1. The search condition input field 220 is an area for inputting a character string used for searching a question of a questionnaire that has already been registered. The questionnaire status menu 230 is a pull-down menu for selecting the questionnaire status of the questionnaire (question) displayed on the web page. On the requesting questionnaire list page 200, "requesting" is selected. When the user selects "voting" or "voting finished" from the questionnaire status menu 230, the electronic shopping street server 1 transmits a questionnaire list page displaying the questionnaire corresponding to the selected questionnaire status to the user terminal 3. Question 240 is a questionnaire question whose questionnaire status is "requesting". For example, at first, a predetermined number of questions 240 may be displayed in order from the question with the latest input date and time. After that, when the user inputs a character string in the search condition input field 220 and requests a search, a question 240 including the input character string or a question 240 having the same or similar meaning as the character string indicates is displayed. Will be done.

The product selection information acquisition unit 1102 acquires selection information indicating a product selected in connection with a question by any user. Selecting a product in relation to a question means, for example, selecting a product based on the content of the question, or selecting a product and then selecting a question according to the product. In the present embodiment, a recommender different from the questioner selects a product recommended to the questioner according to the question entered by the questioner. More specifically, the product selection information acquisition unit 1102 enables the recommender to select a product after confirming the question. In addition, the product selection information acquisition unit 1102 acquires selection information indicating a plurality of different products selected by each of the plurality of recommenders. The upper limit of the number of recommenders or the upper limit of the number of recommended products for one question may be predetermined or unlimited.

For example, on the requesting questionnaire list page 200 shown in FIG. 6, when the user selects any question 240, whether or not the user terminal 3 selects a product recommended for the questioner of the selected question 240. You may display a message asking for. At this time, if there is a product that has already been selected as a product recommended by another user, the information on the product that has already been selected may be displayed together with the product selection information acquisition unit 1102 and the message. When the user performs an operation of accepting the inquiry, the user terminal 3 displays a web page for product search (for example, a top page of an electronic shopping street) on the screen. On this web page, the user can enter search conditions for recommended products. When the user inputs a search condition, the user terminal 3 displays a search result page showing a list of products that match the entered search condition among the products whose publication permission flag is set to "publication permission" on the screen. do.

When the user selects any product from the list, the user terminal 3 displays the product page of the selected product on the screen. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the product page 300 of the product in which the publication permission flag is set to “publication permission”. The product page 300 includes a product name, a price, an image of the product, a shopping cart button, and a purchase procedure button, which includes a post button 310 in addition to other information about the product. When the user presses the post button 310, the user terminal 3 transmits the product ID of the product shown on the product page 300 to the electronic shopping street server 1. The product selection information acquisition unit 1102 acquires the product ID transmitted from the user terminal 3 as selection information. The product selection information acquisition unit 1102 stores the selected product information including the acquired product ID in the questionnaire DB 14c in association with the questionnaire ID of the question 240 selected by the recommender. The user terminal 3 may accept input of a comment from the user in response to the pressing of the post button 310. In this case, the product selection information acquisition unit 1102 stores the selected product information including the product ID and the comment of the selected product in the questionnaire DB 14c. The product selection information acquisition unit 1102 may be configured so that the recommender can select the product first and then select the question related to the selected product later. The recommender selects a product after seeing the question 240, or selects a product and then selects a question 240 according to the product. Therefore, the selected product matches the conditions of the product that the questioner wants. The probability of doing so is relatively high.

Multiple recommenders can select products for one question. That is, even after one user has already selected one of the products in response to the question, another user can select another product by using the questionnaire page 200 and the product page 300 during the request. can. The recommended product selection information acquisition unit 1102 may refuse to select the same product as the product already selected by another user in response to the same question. For example, the recommended product selection information acquisition unit 1102 may transmit the product page 300 set so that the posting button 310 cannot be pressed to the user terminal 3.

The voting screen display control unit 1103 causes the user terminal 3 to display a voting acceptance screen for accepting a vote for a product indicated by the selection information acquired by the product selection information acquisition unit 1102. This voting reception screen includes questions acquired by the question acquisition unit 1101.

Questionnaire information 410 is displayed.

Questionnaire information 410 includes question 420. When the user selects question 420, the user can select the recommended product, as in the case of selecting question 240 on the requesting questionnaire page 200. In addition, the questionnaire information 410 includes a product image 430, an identifier 440, a shopping cart button 450, and a voting button 460 for each product selected as a recommended product. In FIG. 8, for convenience, product images 430 to voting buttons 460 are displayed for each of the two products in the questionnaire information 410. However, depending on the number of products selected so far, the product image 430 to the voting button 460 are displayed. The product image 430 is an image of the product selected by the recommender. The product image 430 displayed on the questionnaire list page is an advertisement for the product. When the user selects the product image 430, the user terminal 3 displays the product page of the product shown in the product image 430 on the screen. The identifier 440 is an identifier for distinguishing a plurality of recommended products from each other. For example, identifiers such as "A", "B", and "C" may be given to the products in the order of recommendation. The shopping cart button 450 is a button for putting the product shown in the product image 430 into the shopping cart. The voting button 460 is a button for voting for the product shown in the product image 430. When the user presses the voting button 460, one vote is cast for the corresponding product. The user terminal 3 may accept input of a comment from the user in response to the pressing of the voting button 460. Since the vote is made after seeing the question 240, the voter is likely to vote in consideration of the questioner's request. Regarding the questionnaire information 410 of the questionnaire in which the questioner, the recommender, or the voter who has already voted is involved, the questionnaire list page 400 during voting is configured so that no product can be voted. For example, the voting button 460 may be set so that it cannot be pressed. Questionnaire information 410 further includes a total of 470 votes, vote aggregation result information 480 and one or more comments 490. The voting total result information 480 indicates the result of voting for a plurality of recommended products. The voting total result information 480 indicates, for example, the ratio of the number of votes obtained by a plurality of products. For example, the voting aggregation result information 480 includes a bar indicating each recommended product. The relatively long the corresponding bar length indicates that the product has a relatively large number of votes. Each comment 490 indicates a comment entered by the recommender or voter, along with an identifier of the product selected by the recommender or the product voted by the voter. For example, a predetermined number of comments 490 may be displayed in order from the comment with the latest input date and time. When the user selects any comment 490, the user terminal 3 may display a list of all comments on the screen.

The voting total result providing unit 1104 provides the user terminal 3 with the total result of the votes cast by the viewer on the voting reception screen displayed on the user terminal 3. The information indicating the aggregation result may be, for example, the number of votes obtained itself or the ratio of the number of votes obtained. For example, the voting total result information 480 on the voting questionnaire list page 400 shown in FIG. 8 indicates the total result of the votes during voting. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the voting completion questionnaire list page 500. In FIG. 9, the same elements as those in FIG. 8 are designated by the same reference numerals. On the voting end questionnaire list page 500, a list of questionnaires whose questionnaire status is "voting end" is displayed. The difference between the voting end questionnaire list page 500 and the voting questionnaire list page 400 is that in the voting end questionnaire list page 500, "voting end" is selected in the questionnaire status menu 230, and the voting button 460. Is not displayed. Further, on the voting end questionnaire list page 500, even if the user selects question 420, the recommended product cannot be selected. The voting total result information 480 on the voting end questionnaire list page 500 indicates the total result of the votes after the voting is completed.

In the questionnaire system S, My Page may be provided for each user. My Page is a web page that shows a list of questionnaires in which the user was involved as a questioner, recommender, or voter. When the user selects the questionnaire for which the user is the questioner from My Page, the voting total result providing unit 1104 receives the questionnaire list page 400 during voting or the questionnaire list page 500 for completing the voting, which includes the questionnaire information 410 of the selected questionnaire. May be displayed by the user terminal 3. This also allows the user to check the aggregation result.

The reward giving unit 1105 votes for the purchased product when the product is purchased based on the operation of the operation element displayed on the voting reception screen in order to purchase the product recommended by the recommender. Execute the process of giving a reward to a person. In any of the questionnaire information 410 in the voting questionnaire list page 400 or the voting end questionnaire list page 500 shown in FIG. 8, the user presses the shopping cart button 450 of any product to put the product in the shopping cart. Put it in and then go through the purchase procedure. Then, the reward giving unit 1105 gives a reward to the user. In addition, when the user purchases a product by displaying the product page by selecting one of the product images 430 in the questionnaire information 410 and moving the shopping cart button or the purchase procedure button on the product page. In addition, the reward giving unit 1105 may give a reward. Examples of rewards include money, points, electronic money, coupons, and the like. For example, the reward giving unit 1105 may give a predetermined number of points (for example, 1 point, etc.) to each voter.

The reward-giving unit 1105 may be configured to deter voting for the sole purpose of the user earning a reward. For example, an upper limit on the number of questionnaires that can be voted per person for a predetermined period (for example, one day) may be set in advance. When the number of questionnaires voted by the user reaches the upper limit, the reward giving unit 1105 may configure the voting questionnaire list page 400 so that the voting button 460 cannot be pressed. Further, for example, the reward giving unit 1105 may configure the voting questionnaire list page 400 so that voting is possible on condition that a comment is input. In this case, the lower limit of the number of characters in the comment may be set in advance.

In addition, the reward giving unit 1105 may give a reward to the recommender. For example, when a product recommended by the recommender is purchased based on pressing the shopping cart button 450 or the product image 430 in the voting questionnaire list page 400 or the voting end questionnaire list page 500, the reward giving unit 1105 may give the recommender points corresponding to a predetermined ratio of the price of the product. If a user other than the recommender purchases the product, the reward granting unit 1105 may reward the recommender regardless of whether the user is a questioner, a voter, or another user.

[1-4. Operation of the electronic shopping street server]
Next, the operation of the electronic shopping mall server 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11. The system control unit 11 executes the process of the electronic shopping street server 1 among the processes shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 according to the program code included in the server program.

10 and 11 are sequence diagrams showing an example of an operation outline of the questionnaire system S. As shown in FIG. 10, the user terminal 3-1 used by the questioner 110 is currently displaying any of the questionnaire list pages. In response to the questioner 110 pressing the request button 210 from the questionnaire list page, the question acquisition unit 1101 displays the question input screen on the user terminal 3-1 (step S1). When the questioner 110 inputs a question, the user terminal 3-1 transmits the question and the user ID of the questioner to the electronic shopping street server 1 (step S2). The question acquisition unit 1101 stores the questionnaire management information including the question received from the user terminal 3-1 and the user ID (questioner ID) in the questionnaire DB 14c (step S3). Here, the question acquisition unit 1101 generates a new questionnaire ID and adds this questionnaire ID to the questionnaire management information. In addition, the question acquisition unit 1101 sets the questionnaire status to "requesting".

After that, in response to the request from the user terminal 3-2 used by the recommender 121, the product selection information acquisition unit 1102 generates the requesting questionnaire list page 200. At this time, the product selection information acquisition unit 1102 acquires a question from the questionnaire management information stored in step S3, and generates a request-in-request questionnaire list page 200 including this question. The product selection information acquisition unit 1102 transmits the generated requesting questionnaire list page 200 to the user terminal 3-2 (step S4). The recommender 121 selects the question 240 input by the questioner 110 from the requesting questionnaire list page 200 (step S5). Then, the user terminal 3-2 transmits the questionnaire ID corresponding to the question 240 to the electronic shopping street server 1 (step S6). Upon receiving the questionnaire ID, the product selection information acquisition unit 1102 transmits the top page of the electronic shopping street to the user terminal 3-2 (step S7).

When the recommender 121 inputs the search condition on the top page, the user terminal 3-2 transmits the search condition to the electronic shopping street server 1 (step S8). The product selection information acquisition unit 1102 searches for products that match the search conditions received from the user terminal 3-2 using the product DB 14b. The product selection information acquisition unit 1102 transmits a search result page including a list of searched products to the user terminal 3-2 (step S9). When the recommender 121 selects any product from the search result page (step S10), the user terminal 3-2 transmits a product page request including the product ID of this product to the electronic shopping street server 1 (step S10). S11). Upon receiving the product page request, the product selection information acquisition unit 1102 transmits the product page 300 of the selected product to the user terminal 3-2 (step S12). On the product page 300, the recommender 121 presses the post button 310 and inputs a comment (step S13). Then, the user terminal 3-2 transmits a posting request including the product ID of the product shown on the product page 300, the user ID of the recommender 121, and the comment to the electronic shopping street server 1 (step S14). Upon receiving the posting request, the product selection information acquisition unit 1102 obtains the selected product information including the product ID of the selected product, the user ID (recommended person ID) of the recommender 121, and the comment from the user terminal 3-2 in step S6. It is added to the questionnaire management information stored in the questionnaire DB 14c in association with the received questionnaire ID (step S15). At this time, the product selection information acquisition unit 1102 sets the number of votes included in the vote information in the selected product information to 0.

After that, for example, the same process as in steps S4 to S15 is executed for the recommender 122. As a result, when the number of recommended products reaches the required number of recommended products, the voting screen display control unit 1103 changes the questionnaire status to "voting".

After that, in response to the request from the user terminal 3-3 used by the voter 131, the voting screen display control unit 1103 generates the voting questionnaire list page 400. At this time, the voting screen display control unit 1103 generates the questionnaire information 410 based on the questionnaire management information stored in step S3 and the selected product information added in step S15 and the like. For example, the voting screen display control unit 1103 acquires the product image 430 from the product DB 14b for each recommended product. The voting screen display control unit 1103 generates questionnaire information 410 including the acquired product image 430, the question 420 input by the questioner 110, the shopping cart button 450, the voting button 460, the comment 490, and the like. The voting screen display control unit 1103 transmits the voting questionnaire list page 400 including the generated questionnaire information 410 to the user terminal 3-3 (step S16). On the voting questionnaire list page 400, the voter 131 inputs a comment by pressing the voting button 460 corresponding to the product selected by the recommender 121, for example, from the questionnaire information 410 corresponding to the question of the questioner 110. (Step S17).

(Step S18). The voting screen display control unit 1103 that has received the voting request specifies the questionnaire questionnaire management information corresponding to the questionnaire ID of the questionnaire corresponding to the voted product from the questionnaire DB 14c. The voting screen display control unit 1103 increases the total number of votes included in the specified questionnaire management information by one. Further, the voting screen display control unit 1103 specifies the selected product information corresponding to the product ID of the voted product from the specified questionnaire management information. The voting screen display control unit 1103 updates the number of votes obtained by increasing the number of votes obtained in the specified selected product information by one. Further, the voting screen display control unit 1103 adds the voter information including the user ID and the comment of the voter 131 to the specified selected product information (step S19).

After that, the reward giving unit 1105 executes a process of giving points to the voter 131 (step S20). For example, the reward giving unit 1105 specifies the member information associated with the user ID of the voter 131 included in the voter information added in step S19 from the member DB 14a. The reward giving unit 1105 updates the number of points held by adding a predetermined number of points to the number of points held in the specified member information.

For example, the same processing as in steps S16 to S20 is executed for some users other than the voter 131. As a result, when the total number of votes reaches a predetermined number, the voting screen display control unit 1103 changes the questionnaire status to "voting completed". When the questionnaire information 410 is generated in step S16, the voting total result providing unit 1104 generates the voting total result information 480 based on the number of votes obtained updated in step S19 or the like. For example, the voting aggregation result providing unit 1104 calculates the ratio of the number of votes obtained among the recommended products. The voting aggregation result providing unit 1104 generates voting aggregation result information 480 including a bar having a length corresponding to the ratio calculated for each product. The voting aggregation result providing unit 1104 generates questionnaire information 410 including voting aggregation result information 480 and other information.

The method of generating the voting end questionnaire page 500 may be the same as the method of generating the voting questionnaire page 400 described in step S16, except that the voting button 460 is not included. The voting end questionnaire page 500 includes voting aggregation result information 480. The voting total result providing unit 1104 transmits the generated voting end questionnaire list page 500 to the user terminal 3-1 (step S31). On the voting end questionnaire list page 500, the questioner 110 presses the shopping cart button 450 corresponding to the product selected by, for example, the recommender 121 (step S32). Then, the user terminal 3-1 transmits a shopping cart input request including the product ID of the product corresponding to the pressed shopping cart button 450 to the electronic shopping street server 1 (step S33). The electronic shopping street server 1 that has received the shopping cart input request transmits the shopping cart page to the user terminal 3-1 (step S34). The shopping cart page is a web page showing a list of products placed in the shopping cart. When the user presses the button for performing the purchase procedure on the shopping cart page, the user terminal 3-1 transmits the purchase procedure request to the electronic shopping street server 1 (step S35). The electronic shopping street server 1 that has received the purchase procedure request transmits the purchase procedure page to the user terminal 3-1 (step S36). The purchase procedure page is a web page for entering information necessary for purchasing a product. On the purchase procedure page, the questioner 110 inputs necessary information and presses a button for confirming the purchase (step S37). Then, the user terminal 3-1 transmits the purchase confirmation request to the electronic shopping street server 1 (step S38). The electronic shopping street server 1 that has received the purchase confirmation request stores the order information of the product in a predetermined database based on the product ID received in step S33 and the information input by the questioner 110.

After that, when the settlement process of the purchase price is completed and the purchased product is shipped from the store to the questioner 110, the reward giving unit 1105 executes a process of giving points to the recommender 121 (step S39). For example, the reward giving unit 1105 specifies the member information associated with the user ID of the recommender 121 included in the selected product information added in step S15 from the member DB 14a. Further, the reward giving unit 1105 acquires the price of the purchased product from the product DB 14b. The reward giving unit 1105 calculates the number of points to be given, for example, by multiplying the price of the product by a predetermined coefficient. Then, the reward giving unit 1105 updates the number of possessed points by adding the calculated number of points to the number of possessed points included in the specified member information.
