<First Embodiment>
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of a virtual currency granting system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the virtual currency grant system includes a block chain 100, an information processing device 200, an information processing terminal 300, and a network 400.

In the present invention, the virtual currency is, for example, bitcoin. When the virtual currency is bit coin, the virtual currency grant system includes a block chain 100. The block chain 100 is a distributed data recording ledger technology shared by a plurality of nodes (a plurality of information processing apparatuses 200) participating in the system. In the blockchain 100, for example, in the case of remittance of the most representative bitcoin of the blockchain, a record (transaction record) history of sending from one address to another is participating in the bitcoin network. Distributed and stored on computers. For example, when the information processing terminal 300A sends a bit coin to 300B, the transaction record is recorded as one block. In the block chain 100, blocks are concatenated and stored like a chain, and the hash value of the previous block is included in the next block to prevent falsification of transaction records. As described above, the block chain 100 has a function of distributing and storing bit coin transaction records of the information processing device 200 or the information processing terminal 300.

Further, the block chain 100 may be a consortium type architecture shared by one or a few nodes in the private type, instead of a distributed type architecture shared by a plurality of nodes in the public type. In this case, the block chain 100 is constructed in, for example, a server or data center managed by a specific company.

In the present invention, the virtual currency is not limited to bit coins, and may be any type of virtual currency generated using a block chain. The virtual currency may be “points” given by a predetermined company or organization. In this case, the block chain 100 may be another virtual currency management system or a network. The block chain 100 is not always necessary, and the information processing apparatus 200 or the like may have a function of managing virtual currency.

The information processing apparatus 200 has a function of assigning virtual currency in the first embodiment of the present invention. The information processing apparatus 200 sets conditions for assigning virtual currency and points, and notifies the information processing terminal 300 of the conditions. When a predetermined action that satisfies the notified point grant condition is executed, the information processing terminal 300 notifies the information processing apparatus 200 that the predetermined action has been executed. The information processing apparatus 200 has a function of giving virtual currency and points to the information processing terminal 300 that has executed a predetermined action.

The information processing terminal 300 may determine whether or not a predetermined action satisfying the point grant condition has been executed, or the information processing apparatus 200 may determine whether or not the information processing terminal 300 satisfies the point grant condition. It may be determined whether an action has been executed. When the ascending processing apparatus 200 determines, the information processing terminal 300 notifies the information processing apparatus 200 of information related to the action when an action related to the point granting condition is executed. Thereafter, the information processing apparatus 200 determines whether or not a predetermined action satisfying the point grant condition has been executed in the information processing terminal 300 based on the information regarding the predetermined action received from the information processing terminal 300.

In the virtual currency grant system of the present invention, the user can receive the service of the virtual currency grant system by installing a predetermined application in the information processing terminal 300, for example. Further, the information processing terminal 300 may be able to receive the service of the virtual currency granting system without performing the process of starting the installed application.

In the virtual currency granting system of the present invention, the virtual currency or points given to the user may be referred to as “Coin”. “Coin” can be exchanged for a predetermined amount of currency (Japanese yen, US dollar, Euro, etc.). For “coin”, a ratio (weighting) for exchange for currency can be set for each granter (owner) who gives it. In addition, “coin” can be given a name for each condition to be issued. For example, the owner can give the name “M” to “coin” given when he / she participates in a game with the team name “M”.

The information processing apparatus 200 is, for example, a smartphone, a mobile phone, a computer (desktop, laptop, tablet, etc.), a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a server, or the like. In the present invention, the information processing apparatus 200 is not limited to these examples.

The information processing apparatus 200 includes an input unit 210, a communication unit 220, a control unit 230, a display unit 240, and a storage unit 250.

The input unit 210 is, for example, a touch panel, detects contact by a user's finger or pointing tool and its contact position, and accepts input by coordinates of the contact position. The input unit 210 is not limited to a touch panel, and includes, for example, a keyboard, a mouse, a camera, a microphone, and the like.

The input unit 210 has a function of receiving “coin granting conditions”, “total number of coins given”, and “total amount of money given” from the owner who is the granter of “coins”. For example, the input unit 210 receives “100” as the total number of coins to be given. For example, the input unit 210 can accept “$ 1” as the total amount of money given, and the owner can determine the value of one coin instead of the currency unit. .

Here, looking at the case where the actual legal currency value is given to the coin, the exchange ratio between the coin and the currency is determined from the total number of coins given and the total grant amount of the currency. In the above example, one coin is “0.01 dollars”.

Currency granting conditions are, for example, (1) stay time type, (2) mission achievement type, (3) IoT (Internet of Things) linked type, (4) off-peak type, (5) health type, (6) thanks type , And so on. In addition, these examples are examples of provision conditions, and it goes without saying that the provision conditions may be anything.

First, (1) the staying time type granting conditions specify “predetermined area” and “time spent in the predetermined area” as coin granting conditions. The staying time type granting condition is, for example, “staying in a predetermined area for one hour”.

The predetermined area is, for example, a predetermined area (for example, a downtown area or a shopping street), a predetermined place (for example, a theme park, a zoo, a park, a shopping mall, or the like), a predetermined building (for example, a building or a tower, a shopping area). Center, department store, stadium, baseball field, hotel, etc.).

The owner can also designate the “predetermined area” by, for example, an address, a building name, a name of a predetermined place (for example, a name such as a theme park, a zoo, a park, or a shopping mall). In addition, the owner may designate “predetermined area” using latitude and longitude. The “predetermined area” may have any size, may be a certain point, or may be a country or a state.

Next, (2) the mission achievement type granting condition is, for example, that the user participates in a predetermined event. The predetermined event is, for example, a sports game or a concert of a singer or orchestra.

Also, the mission achievement type granting condition may be, for example, achieving a plurality of missions predetermined by the owner. The mission achievement type granting conditions include, for example, having visited five or more stores in a shopping center or participating in a plurality of events designated within a predetermined period. Further, the mission achievement type granting condition is, for example, that a plurality of designated products are purchased within a predetermined period.

Subsequently, (3) IoT interlocking type means that, for example, the user has transmitted predetermined information. The IoT-linked grant condition is, for example, that the user has transmitted information related to a predetermined event. The granting condition is, for example, that information about a team related to a sports game is posted on a so-called “bulletin board” or “information service on the web that shares a short sentence”. The user can submit coins by posting information about the players belonging to the team related to the sports game, such as “the physical condition of the given player is good” or “the given player does not appear at the game venue”. Can be earned. Note that the owner can also set that the “reaction” to the posted message is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold as the grant condition. For example, in response to a message posted by a user on a “bulletin board”, a message posted by a user in a “information service on the web that shares a short sentence” or when a predetermined number of responses have been written. Is transferred over a predetermined number.

Also, the grant condition for the IoT-linked type is that the user registers that the user is a “fan” of the performer or performer of the predetermined event, for example, at a site related to the predetermined event. For example, the site related to the predetermined event includes a function that allows the user to specify a player belonging to a predetermined sports team and register as a fan. Therefore, the user may register a predetermined affiliation player as a fan on the site.

(4) The off-peak type granting condition is, for example, that the user performs a predetermined action in a time zone other than the peak. The off-peak type granting condition is, for example, that the user has gone to work or returned home outside the peak time period. The off-peak type granting condition is, for example, that the user has lunch other than the peak time zone. The off-peak type granting condition may be, for example, returning home without overtime on a predetermined day of the week.

Also, (5) the health-type granting condition is, for example, that the user has performed a predetermined exercise. The health-type grant condition is, for example, that the user has not used the elevator. The health-type grant condition is, for example, that the user has walked 10,000 steps or more within a predetermined period (for example, within one day). The condition for providing the health type is, for example, that jogging of 10 km or more is performed within a predetermined period (for example, within one week). The health-type grant condition may be (1) staying at a sports facility for a predetermined time in combination with the stay-time type grant condition. The health-type grant conditions may be (2) participating in a marathon competition or walking competition in combination with the mission achievement-type grant conditions.

Furthermore, (6) the appreciation type granting condition is, for example, that a user has helped another user's work or has performed the entire work. In this case, another user may directly specify the number of coins to be given to the user.

“Total amount of currency granted” is the total value of virtual currency and points granted to a user who has executed a predetermined action. The total grant amount is specified by the owner. For each currency granting condition, the owner sets a “total granting amount” of the currency to be given to a user who satisfies the granting condition. For example, the owner sets “1 dollar”, “1 euro”, “100 yen”, etc. as the total grant amount. Note that the total grant amount does not need to be a unit for each currency, and may be set in any manner, for example, “$ 1.001”. It is possible to set a reward unique to the owner without setting a reward in legal currency, and the “total amount of currency granted” does not have to be set. Rewards are to transfer coins to a user whose owner has performed a predetermined action.

“The total number of coins to be given” is the total number of users who give coins (that is, can acquire coins). “Total number of coins to be given” is the upper limit number of users to whom the coins are given, and even if the number of users exceeding the total number satisfies the granting conditions, the coins are given to the users exceeding the total number Absent. Note that the “total number of coins given” does not necessarily need to be set. Even if it is set, for example, “1 billion” may be set so that it can be regarded as virtually not set. When more than the total number of users satisfy the coin granting conditions, the user who grants the coins may be determined by first-come-first-served basis or lottery.

As described above, the exchange ratio between coins and currency may be determined from the total number of coins granted and the total amount of money given. In the above example, one coin is “0.01 dollars”. Therefore, a user who satisfies the coin granting condition can acquire one coin and exchange the one coin for “0.01 dollars”. Note that the exchange ratio is not necessarily set.

The communication unit 220 is an interface that transmits and receives various data via the network 400. Communication performed by the communication unit 220 may be either wired or wireless.

The communication unit 220 receives information related to a predetermined action from the information processing terminal 300. For example, the communication unit 220 receives, from the information processing terminal 300, information indicating that the information processing terminal 300 has entered the “area” set under the grant condition set by the owner. Further, the communication unit 220 receives information indicating that the information processing terminal 300 has left the “area” from the information processing terminal 300. Note that the communication unit 200 may receive, from the information processing terminal 300, the time when the predetermined action is performed together with information regarding the predetermined action.

Further, the communication unit 220 receives, for example, information (for example, ticket information) indicating that the user of the information processing terminal 300 has participated in a specific event from the information processing terminal 300. For example, the communication unit 220 receives information indicating that information related to a specific event has been posted from the information processing terminal 300.

The communication unit 220 acquires, for example, information related to the time when the user of the information processing terminal 300 went to work or the time when he / she went home from the information processing terminal 300.

The communication unit 220 acquires, for example, information related to exercise performed by the user of the information processing terminal 300 from the information processing terminal 300. For example, the communication unit 220 acquires information from the information processing terminal 300 that the user of the information processing terminal 300 has participated in the marathon event.

The control unit 230 has a physical circuit capable of executing a function realized by a predetermined program. For example, the central processing unit (CPU: Central Processing Unit), a microprocessor (Microprocessor), an ASIC (Application-specific integrated circuit). ), FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), and the like.

The control unit 230 includes a determination unit 231 and a grant unit 232.

The determination unit 231 determines whether a predetermined action in the information processing terminal 300 satisfies a predetermined condition. The determination unit 231 determines that the information processing terminal 300 or the user's predetermined action satisfies a predetermined condition based on “information about the predetermined action” received by the information processing terminal 300 via the communication unit 220. It is determined whether or not. The predetermined condition is a coin grant condition set by an owner who is a coin grantor via the input unit 210.

For example, when the predetermined condition is “staying in a predetermined area for 1 hour”, the determination unit 231 determines that “the time when the predetermined area is entered” notified from the information processing terminal 300 and “the predetermined area”. The information processing terminal 300 determines that “the user has stayed in a predetermined area for one hour” based on the “time from the time of departure”.

For example, when the predetermined condition is “participating in a predetermined event”, the determination unit 231 may notify “information indicating participation in a predetermined event” notified from the information processing terminal 300 (for example, The information processing terminal 300 determines “participation in a predetermined event” based on the ticket information.

For example, based on “information indicating that predetermined information has been transmitted” received from the information processing terminal 300, the determination unit 231 transmits “predetermined information,” which is a condition for granting coins. It is determined whether or not “what has been done” is satisfied. For example, based on “information about a team related to a sports game” received from the information processing terminal 300, the determination unit 231 allows the user of the information processing terminal 300 to input “predetermined information as a coin grant condition”. It is determined whether or not the “sent” is satisfied.

In addition, the determination unit 231 determines, for example, that the information processing terminal 300 has gone to work during the off-peak hours based on the “time of work” notified from the information processing terminal 300.

For example, the determination unit 231 determines that the user of the information processing terminal 300 becomes a “predetermined exercise” that is a condition for giving a coin based on “information about exercise performed by the user” notified from the information processing terminal 300. Determine whether or not

Note that the virtual currency granting system of the present invention does not necessarily need to set conditions for giving coins in advance, and even if coins are given to a specific information processing terminal 300 in response to a request from the owner. Good. In this case, the function of the determination unit 231 is not necessarily required, and the granting unit 232 that grants a coin, which will be described later, may grant a coin based on a request from the owner.

The grant unit 232 grants coins to the user of the information processing terminal 300 according to the determination result of the determination unit 231. The granting unit 232 gives the user a coin that can be exchanged with a currency at a predetermined ratio based on the “total amount of currency grant” and the “total number of coins given” received by the input unit 210.

Note that the granting unit 232 may grant a coin with a predetermined exchange ratio (for example, 1 coin = 1 dollar) to a specific user in response to a request from the owner.

In the first embodiment, the information processing terminal 300 may include the function of the determination unit 231. In this case, the information processing apparatus 200 receives information indicating that a predetermined action satisfying the coin grant condition has been executed from the information processing terminal 300. When the granting unit 232 included in the control unit 230 of the information processing device 200 receives information indicating that a predetermined action satisfying the coin granting condition has been executed from the information processing terminal 300, the granting unit 232 receives the information from the information processing terminal 300. Grant coins.

The display unit 240 is, for example, a liquid crystal display or an OELD (Organic Electroluminescence Display). The display unit 240 displays various display screens 20 related to the virtual currency granting system of the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a configuration example of the display screen 20 displayed on the display unit 220 of the information processing apparatus 200. In the example of FIG. 2, when the owner receives the “coin granting condition”, “total number of coins given”, and “total amount of money given” using the information processing apparatus 200, It is an example of a structure of the display screen 20 displayed.

FIG. 2A shows a display screen 20 when the owner sets “total number of coins granted” and “total amount of money given”. In the input field 22, the total number of coins to be given is entered. In the example of FIG. 2A, “50,000” is input. The input field 23 is used to input the total amount of money given. For example, “1 dollar” is entered in the input field 23. The input field 23 may be provided with a field for selecting a currency such as Japanese yen, US dollar, and euro.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2A, the grant condition setting screen 20 may include an input field 21 for setting a coin name. The owner can set the name of the coin, and “M” is input in the example of FIG. As shown in FIG. 2A, the grant condition setting screen 20 may include an input field 24 in which the end date of the period for granting coins can be set. In the example of FIG. 2A, “May 31, 2016” is set as the end date. Note that the input field 24 may be able to specify not only the date but also the time.

FIG. 2B is a diagram showing the display screen 20 displayed on the display unit 240 when the owner sets conditions for granting coins. In the example of FIG. 2B, the granting condition is (1) the staying time type, and “predetermined area” and “time spent in the predetermined area” are designated as coin granting conditions. It is. The example of FIG. 2B is a display screen 20 when “predetermined area” is set. As shown in FIG. 2B, the owner sets a “predetermined area” on the map. As shown in FIG. 2B, the owner can set a plurality of “predetermined areas”. The owner may set one “predetermined area”. Further, the method for the owner to designate the “predetermined area” on the map is not limited to the method for designating in a substantially circular shape, and any designation method such as an ellipse or a rectangle may be used. In addition, the owner can freely draw and designate a “predetermined area” on the map.

FIG. 2C is a diagram showing the display screen 20 displayed on the display unit 240 when displaying information on coins owned by the owner. As shown in the item 26 of FIG. 2C, it can be seen that the owner holds “3831” coins with the name “Ginza”.

FIG. 3 is a configuration example of information stored in the storage unit 240 of the information processing apparatus 200. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the storage unit 240 stores “coin name”, “coin count”, and “reason for acquisition” in association with each user. For example, for the user A, the storage unit 240 stores “12 Marunouchi coins” in association with “Acquired by event A” in association with each other. Further, for example, for the user A, the storage unit 240 stores “100 Ginza coins” in association with “transfer from user B” in association with each other.

In the present invention, users can exchange their coins via the block chain 100. User B can transfer “100” Ginza coins to user A.

Further, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the storage unit 250 may store, for example, “date and time” when coins are acquired in association with each other. Further, the storage unit 250 may store, for example, “exchange ratios” of coins and currencies in association with each other. In addition to the information, the storage unit 250 may store any information such as the total number of coins, for example.

As described above, since the storage unit 250 stores the coin acquired by the user and the attribute of the acquired coin (acquisition reason, acquisition date, etc.) in association with each other, the virtual currency granting system of the present invention is Coins can be managed for each attribute. The reason for granting a coin and the reason for acquiring a coin may be managed by adding a “#hash tag” when giving a coin or when acquiring a coin.

For example, since the storage unit 250 stores “the number of coins” and “reason for acquisition” in association with each other, the virtual currency grant system according to the present invention is configured for each reason for acquisition even if the same coin is used. Can be managed separately. For example, even the same “Ginza coin” can be managed separately depending on whether it was “acquired by an grant event” or “received from another user”. For example, in response to a request from the user, the “number of coins acquired by the grant event” in the “Ginza coin” is notified, or the “number of coins acquired by transfer from another user” in the “Marunouchi coin”. Can be notified.

In addition, since the storage unit 250 stores “coin count”, “reason for acquisition”, and “date and time” in association with each user, various types of information can be stored according to requests from owners and users. You can also create a ranking. For example, the virtual currency granting system can create a ranking of users who have acquired “Marunouchi Coin” in “May 2016”. In addition, the virtual currency granting system can create a ranking of users who have acquired “M coins” by “participating in a predetermined event”. If the reason for giving a coin and the reason for acquiring a coin are managed by attaching a “#hash tag”, a ranking may be created for each “#hash tag”.

The information processing terminal 300 includes a communication unit 310, a control unit 320, and a display unit 330.

The communication unit 310 is an interface that transmits and receives various data via the network 400. Communication performed by the communication unit 310 may be either wired or wireless.

The communication unit 310 receives information related to coin granting conditions from the information processing apparatus 200. The information relating to the coin granting condition is, for example, information relating to a “predetermined area” to which a coin is given by staying. For example, the communication unit 310 receives “area shown on the map” as the “predetermined area” to which coins are given from the information processing apparatus 200. Further, the information related to the coin grant condition is information related to a “specific event” in which a coin is awarded by participating. For example, the communication unit 310 receives “the location and date / time of a specific sports team” from the information processing apparatus 200. The information related to the coin granting condition is “information about a predetermined event” to which a coin is awarded by posting. For example, the communication unit 310 receives a “message requesting posting of information regarding a specific athlete” from the information processing apparatus 200.

Note that the communication unit 310 may receive information regarding an event for giving a coin, for example, by e-mail or chat. Note that it is not always necessary to receive information related to the coin granting condition. For example, the user may recognize the information related to the granting condition by browsing a predetermined site or the like.

The control unit 320 includes a physical circuit capable of executing a function realized by a predetermined program, and is, for example, a central processing unit (CPU), a microprocessor (Microprocessor), an ASIC, or an FPGA.

When the information processing terminal 300 executes an action related to a coin granting condition, the control unit 320 notifies the information processing apparatus 200 of information related to the action via the communication unit 310. For example, the control unit 320 notifies the information processing apparatus 200 of information indicating that the information processing terminal 300 has entered the “predetermined area”. In addition, the control unit 320 notifies the information processing apparatus 200 of, for example, information that the user of the information processing terminal 300 has participated in a predetermined event, for example, information related to an event admission ticket. Moreover, the control part 320 notifies the information processing apparatus 200 of the information regarding the predetermined event which the user of the information processing terminal 300 posted, for example, the information regarding the predetermined player, for example. In addition, the control unit 320 notifies the information processing apparatus 200 of, for example, the time when the user of the information processing terminal 300 has started working or returned home. In addition, the control unit 320 notifies the information processing apparatus 200 of information related to a predetermined exercise performed by the user.

The control unit 320 may autonomously notify the information processing apparatus 200 of information regarding the action, or may notify the information processing apparatus 200 of information regarding the action in response to a request from the user.

Note that the control unit 320 may include the function of the determination unit 231 included in the control unit 230 of the information processing terminal 200. In this case, for example, the control unit 320 determines whether a predetermined action in the information processing terminal 300 satisfies a predetermined condition. The control unit 320 determines whether the predetermined action of the information processing terminal 300 or the user satisfies a predetermined condition. The predetermined condition is a coin grant condition set by the owner who is the coin granter, and is received from the information processing apparatus 200 via the communication unit 310.

For example, when the predetermined condition is “staying in a predetermined area for 1 hour”, the control unit 320 determines from the “time to enter the predetermined area” and the “time to exit from the predetermined area”. It may be determined that the information processing terminal 300 has stayed in a predetermined area for one hour. For example, when the predetermined condition is “participating in a predetermined event”, the control unit 320 is based on “information indicating participation in the predetermined event” (for example, ticket information). The information processing terminal 300 may determine “participation in a predetermined event”. Further, for example, based on “information indicating that the predetermined information has been transmitted”, the control unit 320 determines whether or not the information processing terminal 300 satisfies “the predetermined information has been transmitted” which is a condition for giving a coin. Determine whether. For example, based on “information about a team related to a sports game” received from the information processing terminal 300, the control unit 320 allows the user of the information processing terminal 300 to select “predetermined information as a coin grant condition”. It is determined whether or not the “sent” is satisfied. Further, the control unit 320 determines, for example, that the information processing terminal 300 has gone to work during peak hours based on “working time”. For example, the control unit 320 determines whether the user of the information processing terminal 300 has performed “predetermined exercise” which is a condition for giving a coin, based on “information on exercise performed by the user”.

In this way, the control unit 320 of the information processing terminal 300 determines whether or not the own device has performed a predetermined action that satisfies the grant condition, based on the coin grant condition notified from the information processing apparatus 200. May be. When the control unit 320 determines that the device has performed a predetermined action that satisfies the coin granting condition, the control unit 320 transmits information indicating that the coin granting condition is satisfied to the information processing device 200 via the communication unit 310.

The third embodiment is an embodiment in the case where the user performs a predetermined action as a trigger for giving virtual currency or points in the virtual currency granting system of the present invention. If the predetermined behavior is, for example, various behaviors as employees in the company, such as working off-peak or not working overtime, give virtual currency and points to employees who have performed exemplary behavior It becomes possible to do. In addition to exemplary behaviors, for example, for employees who have helped other employees' work, or who have done so-called common work (work done for all employees, such as organizing shelves) It becomes possible to give currency and points. As a result, it is possible to increase the motivation for the exemplary behavior, common work, etc. held by the employee who is the user.

Note that the configuration example of the virtual currency grant system in the third embodiment is the same as the configuration example of the virtual currency grant system according to the first embodiment, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. Moreover, since the operation example of the virtual currency grant system in 3rd Embodiment is the same as the operation example of the virtual currency grant system in 1st Embodiment shown in FIG. 5, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

In the third embodiment, the information processing apparatus 200 grants a coin in response to a user of the information processing terminal 300 performing a predetermined action that satisfies a predetermined grant condition. The granting conditions are, for example, that the user of the information processing terminal 300 commutes off-peak or returns home on time. The granting conditions are not limited to these examples, and the owner who gives the coins can freely determine them.

In the third embodiment, it is desirable that the conditions for giving coins are predetermined. The user of the information processing terminal 300 executes a predetermined action that satisfies the provision condition based on a predetermined provision condition.

The information processing apparatus 200 sets, for example, “working at a predetermined time” as a coin grant condition. The predetermined time is, for example, off-peak. Note that the information processing apparatus 200 may set, for example, “come to work other than a predetermined time” as a coin grant condition. The predetermined time is, for example, a peak time.

Note that coming to the office may be, for example, passing the employee gate for the first time in a day. In this case, the information processing apparatus 200 sets, for example, “passed the employee gate at a predetermined time” as the coin granting condition.

Further, the information processing apparatus 200 sets, for example, “that the employee has left the company at a predetermined time” as the coin grant condition. The predetermined time is, for example, off-peak. Note that the information processing apparatus 200 may set, for example, “that the employee has left the company other than a predetermined time” as the coin grant condition. The predetermined time is, for example, a peak time.

In addition, the information processing apparatus 200 may set, for example, “the overtime is not more than a predetermined time” or “the lunch time is off-peak” as the coin granting condition.

Note that coming to the office may be, for example, having passed through the employee gate at the end of the day. In this case, the information processing apparatus 200 sets, for example, “passed the employee gate at a predetermined time” as the coin granting condition.

The determination unit 231 included in the control unit 230 of the information processing apparatus 200, for example, based on the “time of attendance” notified from the information processing terminal 300, “the fact that the information processing terminal 300 has attended work during peak hours” Determine.

The information processing apparatus 200 may determine that the coin grant condition has been achieved after a predetermined period has elapsed. For example, the information processing apparatus 200 may determine whether or not the coin grant condition has been achieved on the “next day” when the passage time of the employee gate is fixed, depending on whether or not the passage time of the employee gate is off-peak. Good. In addition, the information processing apparatus 200 may determine whether or not the coin grant condition has been achieved at the “end of month” when the presence or absence of overtime is determined, for example.

Also, the information processing apparatus 200 sets, for example, “having performed a predetermined exercise” as the coin granting condition. The predetermined exercise is, for example, that the user has walked 10,000 steps or more within a predetermined period (for example, within one day). The condition for providing the health type is, for example, that jogging of 10 km or more is performed within a predetermined period (for example, within one week). In addition, the predetermined exercise may be, for example, that the user has used stairs. The predetermined motion can be detected using, for example, an acceleration sensor included in the information processing terminal 300.

The determination unit 231 included in the control unit 120 of the information processing apparatus 200 determines whether or not a coin grant condition is satisfied based on the number of steps the user of the information processing terminal 300 has walked in a day. For example, when the coin granting condition is “walking 10,000 steps or more a day”, the determination unit 231 determines that the number of steps per day notified from the information processing terminal 300 is 10,000 or more. Based on this, it is determined that the coin grant condition is satisfied. It is not necessary for the information processing terminal 200 to make a determination. For example, the information processing terminal 300 may determine whether or not a coin grant condition is satisfied.

Further, the information processing apparatus 200 may set, for example, “not performing a predetermined action” as the coin granting condition. The predetermined behavior is, for example, not using an elevator or not using an escalator. The information processing apparatus 200 may set, for example, “I did not use the elevator” as the coin granting condition.

For example, the determination unit 231 included in the control unit 230 of the information processing device 200 determines that the user of the information processing terminal 300 has received a coin based on “information related to exercise performed by the user” notified from the information processing terminal 300. It is determined whether or not a “predetermined exercise” that is a grant condition has been performed.

Further, in the third embodiment, the coins may be set so as to be executed for a user belonging to a predetermined organization, for example. The predetermined organization may be, for example, a company, a school, a local government, a predetermined group, or any unit. For example, a coin is awarded when a user belonging to a specific company A executes a predetermined action. In this case, the information processing apparatus 200 may limit the giving of coins to the user of the information processing terminal 300 having a predetermined attribute. For example, the information processing apparatus 200 may be set so as to give coins only to users belonging to the company A.

The granting unit 232 of the control unit 230 of the information processing apparatus 200 identifies the information processing terminal 300 that has executed a predetermined action, and grants a coin in the case of the information processing terminal 300 of a user belonging to a predetermined organization. The granting unit 232 uses, for example, an identifier that can uniquely identify the information processing terminal 300, such as an individual identification number, a MAC address, or a subscriber identification number assigned by a communication company. Can be identified.

In the third embodiment, the information processing apparatus 200 may designate a user and give a coin. For example, the owner uses the information processing apparatus 200 to give a coin to a user who has performed a predetermined action. In this case, the owner of the information processing terminal 200 assigns a coin by designating the type, name, quantity, etc. of the coin.

The predetermined action is, for example, helping another user's business or performing the entire business. The predetermined action is, for example, having achieved achievements that serve as models for other users in business. The predetermined action is, for example, performing a secretary. The predetermined action is, for example, that a senior employee who is a user has instructed a junior employee who is an owner of matters related to business. The predetermined action is, for example, no absence and no absence for a predetermined period. The predetermined behavior is not limited to these examples, and may be any behavior.

The owner gives (transfers) the coins he owns to the user who has performed the predetermined action. The owner gives a coin to the user using the information processing apparatus 200. Note that the coin to be given may be a coin that the owner holds in advance, or a coin that is newly issued by the owner.

Further, in the virtual currency granting system of the present invention, it may be set so that the user of the information processing terminal 300 must transfer coins when performing a predetermined action. For example, when the user of the information processing terminal 300 performs smoking, for example, it may be set so that a predetermined number of coins must be transferred. In this case, a user who wants to perform a predetermined action transfers coins to the information processing terminal 300 or the information processing apparatus 200 of another user.

The information processing apparatus 200 stores, in the storage unit 250, coins acquired by the user and attributes of the acquired coins (acquisition reason, acquisition date / time, etc.) in association with each other. Therefore, the information processing apparatus 200 can create a ranking for each coin or for each predetermined action. The information processing apparatus 200 can notify the information processing terminal 300 of the created ranking.

The information processing apparatus 200 creates, for example, a ranking for each predetermined coin arranged in order of the user having the largest amount of coins. For example, the information processing apparatus 200 creates a ranking in the order of users having the largest amount of “coin M”.

The information processing apparatus 200 may create, for example, a ranking for each predetermined action in the order of users with the largest number of coins given based on the predetermined action. For example, the information processing apparatus 200 creates a ranking in the order of users with the largest number of coins awarded based on “achieving achievements that serve as a model for other users”.

Since the information processing apparatus 200 creates a ranking, for example, a user with a large amount of coins can be identified, and a predetermined reward can be given to the user. The predetermined reward is, for example, commendation for the top ranking player, granting the shadow right of the employee / executive (one-day bag ownership), giving the management right of a new business, etc. Also good.

Since the information processing apparatus 200 creates a ranking for each type of coin or for each predetermined action, it is possible to reward a user having a larger number of coins than other users. Therefore, it is possible to give the user an incentive to execute a predetermined action related to the coin grant condition.

In addition, the information processing apparatus 200 may create a ranking for a plurality of groups in the order of groups having a large amount of predetermined coins, for example. For example, the information processing apparatus 200 creates a ranking in the order of the group having the largest amount of “coin M”. For example, the information processing apparatus 200 may create a ranking for each predetermined action in the order of groups in which the number of coins given based on the predetermined action is large.

Since the information processing apparatus 200 creates a ranking for each group, competition between groups can be promoted, and the sense of unity among users belonging to the group can be enhanced.

As described above, in the third embodiment, virtual currency and points can be given to employees who are users who have performed predetermined actions (exemplary actions, common work, etc.). As a result, it is possible to increase the motivation for the exemplary behavior, common work, etc. held by the employee who is the user.

<Fourth Embodiment>
In the virtual currency granting system of the present invention, the fourth embodiment is a case where a trigger for granting virtual currency or points occurs when a user participates in a predetermined event or performs a predetermined action related to the event. It is an embodiment. The predetermined event is, for example, a sports event or a concert event. The predetermined action related to the event is, for example, providing information on a specific athlete or posting a support comment for a special singer. By giving virtual currency or points to a user who has participated in a predetermined event, the user can be more motivated to participate in the predetermined event. Further, by giving virtual currency or points to a user who has performed a predetermined action related to a predetermined event, the user can be more motivated to perform the predetermined action related to the event.

Note that the configuration example of the virtual currency grant system in the fourth embodiment is the same as the configuration example of the virtual currency grant system according to the first embodiment, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. An operation example of the virtual currency grant system in the fourth embodiment is the same as the operation example of the virtual currency grant system in the first embodiment shown in FIG.

The information processing apparatus 200 sets, for example, “transmitting predetermined information” as a coin grant condition. The predetermined information is, for example, that information related to a predetermined event is transmitted. The predetermined event is, for example, a sport or a music concert. The predetermined event is not limited to these examples, and may be any event such as a temporary event or a seasonal event.

The coin granting condition is, for example, that the user transmits information related to sports using the information processing terminal 300. The coin granting condition is, for example, that information about a team related to a sporting game is posted on a so-called “bulletin board” or “information service on the web sharing short postings”.

The user can submit coins by posting information about the players belonging to the team related to the sports game, such as “the physical condition of the given player is good” or “the given player does not appear at the game venue”. Can be earned.

Also, the information set as the coin granting condition is, for example, any information such as information on the weather in the area where the sports game is played, information on the congestion around the stadium where the game is played, etc. Also good.

In addition, the owner can also set that the “reaction” to the posted message is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold as the grant condition. For example, in response to a message posted by a user on a “bulletin board”, a message posted by a user in a “information service on the web that shares a short sentence” or when a predetermined number of responses have been written. Is transferred over a predetermined number. Further, it may be that a video posted by the user has been viewed a predetermined number of times or more on a predetermined video site.

For example, the determination unit 231 included in the control unit 230 of the information processing device 200 grants a coin to the information processing terminal 300 based on “information indicating that predetermined information has been transmitted” received from the information processing terminal 300. It is determined whether or not the condition “transmitting predetermined information” is satisfied. For example, based on “information about a team related to a sports game” received from the information processing terminal 300, the determination unit 231 allows the user of the information processing terminal 300 to input “predetermined information as a coin grant condition”. It is determined whether or not the “sent” is satisfied.

In addition, the information processing apparatus 200 registers that the user is a “fan” of a participant or performer of the predetermined event, for example, on a site related to the predetermined event, as a coin grant condition. is there. For example, the site related to the predetermined event includes a function that allows the user to specify a player belonging to a predetermined sports team and register as a fan. Therefore, the user may register a predetermined affiliation player as a fan on the site.
