The same applies to the following. For example, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 may acquire only the information on the general name of the purchase object and the information on the purchase time among the information included in the purchase information.

  Next, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 acquires, from the purchase management information, the card identification information associated with the purchase information satisfying the preliminarily specified determination condition for the acquired one or more purchase information. For example, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 uses one or more pieces of purchase information (or one of the purchase information items) for each piece of card identification information included in the purchase management information from the purchase management information stored in the purchase management information storage unit 111. , The information of the same item as the information acquired by the card identification information acquisition unit 115 above), and the acquired purchase information is a judgment condition for one or more purchase information corresponding to the received card identification information acquired above. It is determined whether or not the above is satisfied. And the card | curd identification information determined that the acquired 1 or more purchase information satisfy | fills determination conditions is acquired, and what is determined not to be acquired is not acquired. Thereby, the card identification information matched with the purchase information satisfying the determination condition can be acquired. Note that the card identification information that matches the reception card identification information is excluded from the determination target whether or not the determination condition is satisfied. Alternatively, the card identification information that matches the reception card identification information is not acquired as the card identification information that satisfies the determination condition even if it is determined that the determination condition is satisfied, or is discarded even if it is acquired.

  The card identification information acquisition unit 115 also has one or more purchase conditions that satisfy a predetermined condition for the one or more purchase information and user related information corresponding to the card identification information included in the accepted purchase management information, that is, a determination condition.

The same applies to the following.

  Next, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 obtains card identification information in which purchase information and user related information satisfying the determination condition are associated with the one or more purchase information and one or more user related information acquired here. get. For example, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 determines one or more pieces of purchase information (for each piece of card identification information included in the purchase management information from the purchase management information and the user management information stored in the purchase management information storage unit 111). Alternatively, of the purchase information, the information of the same item as the information acquired by the card identification information acquisition unit 115 above and the user related information (or the user identification information of the user related information acquired by the card identification information acquisition unit 115 above. Information of the same item as the information), and the acquired one or more purchase information and the user related information are judgment conditions for the one or more purchase information and the user related information corresponding to the received card identification information acquired above. It is determined whether or not the above is satisfied. Then, the card identification information determined that the acquired purchase information and the user-related information satisfy the determination condition is acquired, and the card identification information determined not to be acquired is not acquired. Thereby, the card | curd identification information matched with the purchase information and user relevant information which satisfy | fill judgment conditions is acquirable. The card identification information acquisition unit 115 may acquire the card identification information from purchase management information or user management information, for example. Note that the card identification information that matches the reception card identification information is excluded from the determination target whether or not the determination condition is satisfied. Alternatively, even if it is determined that the determination condition is satisfied, the card identification information that matches the received card identification information is not acquired as the card identification information that satisfies the determination condition, or is discarded even if it is acquired.

Hereinafter, the determination conditions will be described.
As the determination condition, for example, it is appropriate to introduce the user of each card identification information included in the purchase management information stored in the purchase management information storage unit 111 to the user of the payment card indicated by the reception card identification information. It is a condition for determining whether or not using purchase information or a combination of purchase information and user related information. The determination condition may be, for example, a condition that designates what kind of relationship is introduced to a user who uses the payment card indicated by the reception card identification information. The card identification information acquisition unit 115 may perform a plurality of determination processes using a plurality of determination conditions. The determination condition used by the card identification information acquisition unit 115 may be specified by default or the like, or may be specified by each user who uses the payment card. When enabling the user to specify, for example, the card identification information acquisition unit is configured to store the card identification information and the determination condition (or determination condition identification information) in association with each other in a storage medium (not illustrated). When 115 performs the process of acquiring the card identification information, the determination condition associated with the card identification information that matches the received card identification information is read, and this determination condition is used for the process of acquiring the card identification information. You can do it.

  The determination condition is, for example, a condition including a condition for a purchase object included in purchase management information (including accepted purchase management information). The condition for the purchase object is, for example, a condition that the genre and product name of the purchase object to be compared match. In addition, for example, there is a condition that the number of purchase objects belonging to the same genre as the purchase object genre indicated by the received purchase management information is greater than or equal to a predetermined number.

  The determination condition is, for example, a condition including a condition for a purchase amount of purchase management information (including accepted purchase management information). The condition for the purchase object is, for example, a condition that the purchase amounts of the purchase objects to be compared match, or a condition that both of the purchase amounts belong to a range specified in advance. In addition, for example, there is a condition that the total purchase amount of purchase objects belonging to the same genre as the purchase object genre indicated by the received purchase management information is equal to or greater than a pre-designated amount.

  The determination condition is, for example, a condition including a condition regarding a purchase place included in purchase management information (including accepted purchase management information). The condition for the purchase object is, for example, a condition that the purchase places to be compared match, or a condition that the distance between the purchase places is within a predetermined range. Further, for example, there is a condition that the number of purchase management information indicating the same purchase location as the purchase location indicated by the received purchase management information is greater than or equal to the number specified in advance.

  The determination condition is, for example, a condition including a condition regarding a purchase time included in the purchase management information (including accepted purchase management information). The conditions for the purchase object are, for example, a condition that the purchase times to be compared coincide with each other, and a condition that both the purchase times belong to a range specified in advance. Further, for example, there is a condition that the number of purchase management information indicating the same purchase time as the purchase time indicated by the received purchase management information is greater than or equal to the number specified in advance.

  In addition, the determination condition may further include a condition for user management information corresponding to card identification information (including reception card identification information). For example, the conditions for the user management information are, for example, conditions for the location of the user indicated by the user management information, conditions for the user's gender, and conditions for the user's age. For example, the conditions for the user management information include a condition that the user's location indicated by the user management information matches, a condition that the user's gender is male or female, and the age of the user are designated in advance. The condition is that the age is within the range.

  In addition, the determination condition may include a condition indicating a relative relationship regarding the user related information. The relative relationship is, for example, a relationship that the genders indicated by the user-related information to be compared are the same gender or different genders. Moreover, a relative relationship is a relationship that the difference of the age which the user relevant information to compare compares is in the range designated beforehand, for example. The range designated in advance may be a range in which an upper limit and a lower limit of the range are designated, or a range in which only one of the upper limit and the lower limit is designated. Moreover, a plurality of discontinuous ranges may be used. The same applies to other predesignated ranges.

  Note that the determination condition may be a condition including two or more of the above conditions.

  Here, as an example, determination conditions for selecting candidate people for each of the four categories of lover candidates, best friend candidates, teacher candidates, and rival candidates will be described below.

(A) Lover candidate determination conditions include, for example, conditions relating to the purchase object, purchase location, and purchase time indicated by the purchase information included in the purchase management information, and the user's gender indicated by the user related information. It is. For example, this determination condition matches the purchase information included in the received purchase management information with a set of purchase object, purchase place, and purchase time information indicated by the purchase information corresponding to the card identification information to be determined, and This is a condition indicating that the gender of the user indicated by the user related information corresponding to the card identification information to be determined does not match the gender indicated by the user related information corresponding to the received card identification information. The card identification information to be determined is usually card identification information (excluding reception card identification information) included in one or more purchase management information stored in the purchase management information storage unit 111. The same applies to the following. When this determination condition is used, for example, it is assumed that the purchase information includes information on the purchase object, the purchase place, and the purchase time, and the user related information includes information related to the user's gender. .

  For example, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 reads a determination condition for selecting the lover candidate from a storage medium or the like (not shown), and purchase information associated with the reception card identification information as information corresponding to the determination condition. The purchase management information included in the purchase management information receiving unit 112 is acquired from the purchase purchase information received by the purchase management information receiving unit 112. Specifically, the information corresponding to the determination condition is information used for determination processing using the determination condition. The card identification information acquisition unit 115 also acquires gender information of the user included in the user related information associated with the reception card identification information from the user related information. The card identification information acquisition unit 115, for example, purchases card identification information associated with the acquired purchase object, purchase place, and purchase time information that matches the acquired purchase object, purchase place, and purchase time information. Obtained from the purchase management information stored in the management information storage unit 111. Further, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 is associated with gender information that does not match the gender information of the user associated with the received card identification information acquired above from the card identification information acquired above. Card identification information is detected using user related information. The card identification information acquired in this way is the card identification information that satisfies the judgment condition of the lover candidate. It should be noted that the order of processing that detects information that matches the purchase object, purchase location, and purchase time information may be interchanged with the processing that detects information that matches the user's gender information. The match here may be a complete match or a partial match. For example, the purchase object match here may be, for example, that the genre of the purchase object indicated by the purchase object information matches, or that the general name of the purchase object matches. May be. Moreover, it may be that the brands of the purchase objects match. The coincidence of the purchase times may be considered to be, for example, that the difference in purchase times is within a range specified in advance. The range designated in advance is, for example, a range in which at least one of the upper limit and the lower limit is designated. For example, when the time difference is within a value designated in advance, it may be determined that the purchase times are the same. The time here may be considered to include date and time. Moreover, it may be considered that “the purchase place matches” means that the areas including the purchased position match. For example, it may be considered that the purchased stores match, the building name including the purchased store, the address, and the like match. Further, it may be considered that the distance between purchase places is within a predetermined distance. The distance between purchase locations can be calculated from the purchase location information when the purchase location information is, for example, coordinates indicating the purchase location in latitude and longitude. The same applies to other judgment conditions.

(B) Best friend candidate The condition for determining a best friend candidate is, for example, a condition relating to the genre information of the purchase target indicated by the purchase information included in the purchase management information and the gender of the user indicated by the user related information. For example, the determination condition is that the genre information of the purchase object indicated by the purchase information of the card identification information to be determined matches the purchase information corresponding to the reception card identification information by a predetermined number or more and the determination This is a condition indicating that the user's gender indicated by the user related information corresponding to the target card identification information is to acquire card identification information that matches the user's gender indicated by the user related information corresponding to the received card identification information. When this determination condition is used, for example, the purchase information includes information on the genre of the purchase object, in particular, as information on the purchase object, and the user related information includes information on the gender of the user. Is the premise.

  For example, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 reads a determination condition for selecting the best friend candidate from a storage medium or the like (not shown), and purchase information associated with the reception card identification information as information corresponding to the determination condition. (Alternatively, the genre information of the purchase object included in the purchase information) is acquired from the purchase management information stored in the purchase management information storage unit 111. The card identification information acquisition unit 115 also acquires gender information of the user included in the user related information associated with the reception card identification information from the user related information. The card identification information acquisition unit 115 stores the card identification information associated with the user related information including the gender information that matches the acquired gender information of the user, in the user management information storage unit 114. To detect. For example, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 includes one or more pieces of purchase information included in purchase management information including card identification information that matches one card identification information among the card identification information detected in this manner (or Information on the genre of the purchase object included in the purchase information). Then, one piece of purchase information in which the information of the genre of the purchase target indicated by the purchase information is matched with each other (that is, the purchase information associated with the received card identification information obtained above) (that is, one piece of purchase information). Pick a pair (one to one) and count the number you picked. When the counted number (that is, the number selected) is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, this one card identification information is acquired as the card identification information that satisfies the determination condition of the best friend candidate. The same processing is performed for the other card identification information detected above for the sex information. It should be noted that the order of the process of detecting the user's gender matching and the process of counting the number of purchase information with the same genre information of the purchase target may be switched.

(C) Master / Student Candidates The judgment conditions for teacher / student candidates are, for example, conditions relating to the genre of the purchase target indicated by the purchase information included in the purchase management information. For example, this determination condition includes the number of purchase information (that is, the number of purchases) having the genre information of the purchase object indicated by the purchase information of the received purchase management information in the purchase information corresponding to the card identification information to be determined, and the reception On the condition that the difference between the purchase information having the genre information of the purchase object indicated by the purchase information of the received purchase management information in the purchase information corresponding to the card identification information exceeds the value specified in advance. is there. In addition, the judgment conditions for the teacher candidate include a judgment condition for the teacher candidate and a judgment condition for the disciple candidate. For example, a value obtained by subtracting the number of purchases of the purchase object of the same genre associated with one card identification information from the number of purchases of the purchase object corresponding to the reception card identification information is a positive value designated in advance. Is a disciple candidate determination condition, and the purchase number of the purchase object corresponding to the reception card identification information is the purchase target of the same genre associated with the one card identification information. The condition for judging whether or not the value subtracted from the number of purchases of goods exceeds a positive value designated in advance is the judgment condition for the teacher and student candidates.

  Here, for example, the case where the judgment condition for the master candidate is used will be described. The card identification information acquisition unit 115 reads the judgment condition for selecting the master candidate from a storage medium (not shown) and the like. As the corresponding information, information on the genre of the purchase object included in the purchase information associated with the reception card identification information is acquired from the received purchase management information received by the purchase management information receiving unit 112. Further, the purchase management information storage unit 111 stores the purchase information having the information on the genre of the purchase object acquired above among the purchase information associated with the same card identification information as the reception card identification information. It is detected by searching etc. from the purchase management information, and the detected number is acquired. In addition, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 stores, for example, purchase information having information on the genre of the purchase object that matches the acquired genre information on the purchase object in the purchase management information storage unit 111. It acquires for every card identification information from purchase management information, and acquires the number of the acquired purchase information for every card identification information. And the number acquired about reception card identification information above is subtracted from the number acquired about each card identification information acquired about purchase management information, respectively, and the card identification information whose subtracted value is more than a positive value specified beforehand Is detected as card identification information that satisfies the judgment condition of the teacher candidate. The fact that the subtracted value is greater than or equal to a positive value designated in advance is a concept including a condition that results in the same result as this condition.

  In addition, when a large number of master candidates are acquired, the number of acquired purchase information is not only acquired for each card identification information, but the purchase information purchased first and the number of acquired purchase information are tabulated by year. A number may be obtained. If you can acquire purchase information more than a specified year ago, or if the number of purchase information by year is determined to be a regular purchase based on the conditions specified in advance, select a more appropriate teacher candidate can do. Moreover, you may use an age difference as one of the judgment conditions of a teacher candidate. For example, it is good also as one of the conditions at the time of selecting a teacher candidate that the age difference of the purchased user is more than the threshold value designated beforehand.

(D) Rival Candidate Judgment conditions for rival candidates are, for example, conditions relating to purchase objects and purchase times indicated by purchase information included in purchase management information. For example, the determination condition is that the purchase object of the purchase information included in the received purchase management information is included in the set of purchase object and purchase time included in the purchase information corresponding to the card identification information to be determined. And the purchase information corresponding to the reception card identification information in the purchase information corresponding to the card identification information to be judged exists in the purchase information corresponding to the card identification information to be judged. Is a condition that indicates that there are more than a predetermined number of purchase information items that match in advance. When this determination condition is used, for example, it is assumed that the purchase information includes, in particular, information on the genre of the purchase object and information on the purchase time as information on the purchase object. It should be noted that instead of the determination condition as to whether or not there is a predetermined value or more, the difference from the number of purchase information indicating the same genre corresponding to the reception card identification information as described in (C) is specified in advance. It may be determined whether or not the value is equal to or greater than the set value.

  For example, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 reads a determination condition for selecting the rival candidate from a storage medium (not shown), and purchases from the purchase information included in the accepted purchase management information as information corresponding to the determination condition. Information on the genre of the object and information on the purchase time are acquired. One or more pieces of card identification information associated with purchase information having purchase date information that matches the acquired purchase date and having information of the same genre as the acquired purchase item genre information Is acquired from purchase management information. Then, purchase information (or information on the genre of the purchase object) corresponding to each acquired card identification information is acquired from the purchase management information, and included in the received purchase management information acquired above in the acquired purchase information The number of purchase information having genre information that matches the genre information of the purchase target to be acquired is acquired for each card identification information. Then, card identification information whose number of matches is equal to or greater than a predetermined number is acquired as card identification information of rival candidates.

  If a set of information on the purchase object and the purchase time does not satisfy the predesignated condition, it may be regarded as a rival candidate if the number of purchase objects within the predetermined period satisfies the predesignated condition . This is because those who are currently purchasing and those who have previously purchased can be candidates for rivalry. In addition, when a large number of rival candidates satisfying a predesignated condition are acquired, candidates whose age difference or gender satisfies a predesignated condition may be further narrowed down. A more appropriate rival candidate can be selected.

  In this embodiment, as an example, a program or the like that executes the determination processes corresponding to the above (A) to (D) is stored in advance in a storage medium (not shown) as information on the determination conditions. A case will be described as an example in which the card identification information acquisition unit 115 appropriately reads and executes the information on the determination conditions to perform processing for acquiring card identification information corresponding to each determination condition.

  The determination condition may be associated with determination condition identification information, which is identification information of the determination condition, and stored in a storage medium (not shown). The determination condition identification information is preferably identification information capable of determining which user is the determination condition for detecting. For example, for the determination conditions described in (A) to (D) above, “lover candidate”, “friend candidate”, “teacher candidate” (master candidate or apprentice candidate), and “rival candidate”, respectively. Such determination condition identification information may be associated with each other. Then, when the card identification information acquisition unit 115 acquires the card identification information acquired by the determination process using the one determination condition, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 may acquire the determination condition identification information corresponding to the one determination condition. good.

  The introduction category management information having the card identification information in association with one or more information indicating the category of the judgment condition as described in (A) to (D) is accumulated in a storage unit (not shown). When the card identification information acquisition unit 115 acquires one or more pieces of card identification information for one reception card identification information, the one corresponding to the reception card identification information is obtained from the introduction category management information. Information indicating the above categories may be acquired, and the card identification information may be acquired by individually performing determination processing for the determination conditions indicated by the acquired information indicating one or more categories. The information indicating the category may be considered as the determination condition identification information as described above. For example, when the introduction category management information corresponding to one reception card identification information is stored in association with the information indicating the category corresponding to the determination conditions (A) and (C) described above, the card identification information The acquisition unit 115 acquires card identification information satisfying the determination condition (A) and card identification information satisfying the determination condition (C) as card identification information corresponding to the received card identification information. It does not matter how the introduction category management information is stored. For example, at the time of registration of a payment card, etc., information indicating a category corresponding to each of a plurality of judgment conditions as shown in (A) to (D) above is presented as an option to the user. Of the information shown, introduction category management information having information indicating one or more categories selected by the user and the card identification information of the user may be stored in a storage unit (not shown). Alternatively, a reception unit (not shown) for receiving such introduction category management information is provided in the card information processing apparatus 11 so that the reception unit can be received from the card payment terminal 12, the user terminal 13, or another terminal. The accepted introduction category management information may be stored in a storage unit (not shown).

  Note that the card identification information acquisition unit 115 may use determination conditions other than those described above. For example, card identification information indicating that a purchase target that is complementary to the purchase target indicated by the received purchase related information is purchased at the same time, and the gender indicated by the associated user related information is A user with card identification information different from the gender of the user-related information associated with the card identification information may be detected as a lover candidate user. Examples of the purchase object in a complementary relationship include cheese and wine. This complementary relationship may be determined using information or the like that manages the complementary purchase target object in association with each other. Moreover, you may detect the user of the card | curd identification information matched with the purchase target of a higher level of the same genre than the purchase target which the reception purchase related information shows as a user of a teacher candidate.

  Note that one accepted purchase management information used when the card identification information obtaining unit 115 obtains the card identification information is the one immediately after the purchase management information accepting unit 112 accepts, or a memory medium such as a memory (not shown). May be stored temporarily in the purchase management information storage unit 111 by the purchase management information storage unit 113 or the like.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating the “card ID” acquired by the card identification information acquisition unit 115.

  Next, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 acquires the value “2012/3/20 19:10:00” of “purchase time” from the accepted purchase management information shown in FIG. Then, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 performs purchase management in which the value of “card ID” in the received purchase management information record shown in FIG. 8 matches any one of “card ID” shown in FIG. A record of purchase management information in which the value of “purchase time” matches the value of “purchase time” acquired from the received purchase management information is detected from the information records. However, the “purchase time” match here is determined to be a match when the absolute value of the difference in purchase time is within 15 minutes. That is, a record having a value of “purchase time” in a range from “2012/3/20 18:55” to “2012/3/20 18:25” is detected.

  Next, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 acquires the value “Purchase location” “Umeda 1-chome, Kita-ku, Osaka” from the accepted purchase management information shown in FIG. Then, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 determines that the value of “Purchase Location” is the value of “Purchase Location” acquired from the received purchase management information from among the records detected as the “Purchase Time” matching above. A record of purchase management information matching a certain “Umeda 1-chome, Kita-ku, Osaka” is detected.

Further, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 acquires the value of “purchase target” from the accepted purchase management information shown in FIG. Here, it is assumed that the value of “general name” in “purchase target” is specified in advance, and here, the value of “general name” “French wine (red)” is acquired. .
Then, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 determines that the value of the “general name” of the “purchase target” from the records detected as “purchase time” and “purchase place” matches the received purchase management. A record of purchase management information that matches “French wine (red)”, which is the value of “generic name” acquired from the information, is detected. Here, it is assumed that only a record having “100304” as the “management ID” of the purchase management information shown in FIG. 8 is detected.

  The card identification information acquisition unit 115 acquires “123456789123 *** 3” which is the value of the “card ID” of the record whose “management ID” of the purchase management information illustrated in FIG. 8 is “100304”. Then, the determination condition identification information “lover candidate” read out together with the determination condition of “lover candidate” is stored in a storage medium (not shown) in association with the acquired “card ID”.

  Next, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 stores the determination condition of the “friend candidate” shown in (B) above and the “friend candidate” that is the determination condition identification information of this determination condition, such as a storage medium (not shown) The card identification information is acquired according to the read determination conditions. Here, for example, it is assumed that the read determination condition is a program for acquiring card identification information by the same process as the process shown in the flowchart of FIG.

  Similarly to the above, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 includes, in the user-related information illustrated in FIG. 9, the value “card ID” included in the record that matches the received card identification information “123456789123 *** 1”. Acquire “female”, which is information on “sex”.

  Next, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 detects a record in which the value of “gender” is “female” in the user-related information shown in FIG. 9, and sets the value of “card ID” included in the detected record. get. However, items matching the reception card identification information are excluded.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating the “card ID” acquired by the card identification information acquisition unit 115.

  Next, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 searches the purchase management information shown in FIG. 8 for one or more records whose “card ID” value matches the received card identification information “123456789123 *** 1”. The purchase information of the detected record is temporarily stored in a memory (not shown) or the like. Here, it is assumed that purchase information is acquired from purchase management information in which the accepted purchase management information illustrated in FIG. 11 has been accumulated.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating purchase information acquired by the card identification information acquisition unit 115 for the reception card identification information “123456789123 *** 1”.

  Further, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 acquires the value “123456789123 *** 4” of the “card ID” of the first record of the “card ID” shown in FIG. 13, and purchase management information shown in FIG. Then, one or more records whose “card ID” value matches the acquired value “123456789123 *** 4” are retrieved, and the purchase information of the detected record is temporarily stored in a memory (not shown) or the like.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram showing purchase information acquired by the card identification information acquisition unit 115 for the value “123456789123 *** 4” of the “card ID” of the first record.

  The card identification information acquisition unit 115 extracts one piece of purchase information having a “card ID” that matches the received card identification information shown in FIG. 14, and the “genre” value of the “purchase target” included in the extracted purchase information To get. Here, the “genre” value “wine” of the first record from the top in FIG. 14 is acquired. Then, one piece of purchase information having the same “genre” value is searched for in the purchase information shown in FIG. Here, the record in the first line from the top of the purchase information shown in FIG. 15 is detected as purchase information having the same “genre” value. When one matching item is found in this way, one of the matching purchase information is deleted from the purchase information shown in FIG. 15, and the value of the counter for counting the number of matching purchase information is incremented by 1. To do. Assume that the initial value of the counter is zero. Deletion here may be to give information such as a flag indicating deletion. Then, the search for the value “wine” of the genre of the purchase information is terminated. Similar processing is performed in order for the genre values of the second and subsequent records from the top shown in FIG. For example, the “genre” value “golf” of the second record shown in FIG. 14 is acquired, and one piece of purchase information whose “genre” value matches “golf” is changed to the purchase information shown in FIG. Search for items that have not been deleted. Here, the record in the second row from the top of the purchase information shown in FIG. 15 is detected as purchase information having the same “genre” value. Therefore, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 deletes the purchase information from the purchase information in FIG. 15 and increments the counter value by 1. By such processing, the number of record pairs having the same “genre” value among the records of purchase information shown in FIGS. 14 and 15 can be counted.

  Then, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 determines whether or not the value of the counter at the time when the above processing is completed for all the records of the purchase information shown in FIG. 14 is greater than or equal to a predesignated value. To do. Here, for example, if the counter value is “10” and the predesignated value is “5”, it is determined that the counter value is equal to or greater than the predesignated value. For this reason, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 sets the value “123456789123 *** 4” of the “card ID” of the first record of “card ID” shown in FIG. The information is stored in a storage medium (not shown) in association with the judgment condition identification information “friend candidate” read out in. Note that if the value of the counter is not equal to or greater than the value specified in advance, the value of “card ID” is not stored in the storage medium.

  Similar processing is performed in order for the second and subsequent records of the “card ID” shown in FIG. Here, it is assumed that only the value “123456789123 *** 4” of the above “card ID” is accumulated as a result of processing for each record.

  Next, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 reads out the judgment condition of the “teacher / candidate candidate” shown in (C) above and the judgment condition identification information of this judgment condition from a storage medium or the like (not shown), and the read judgment. A process of acquiring card identification information is performed according to conditions. Here, it is assumed that the judgment condition of the “teacher candidate” that has been read out is the judgment condition of the “master candidate”, and the judgment condition identification information is the “master candidate”. Here, for example, it is assumed that the read determination condition is a program for acquiring card identification information by the same process as the process shown in the flowchart of FIG.

  The card identification information acquisition unit 115 acquires “wine” which is the value of “genre” of “purchase target” of the accepted purchase management information shown in FIG. In the purchase management information shown in FIG. 8, the “card ID” is a record that matches the received card identification information “123456789123 *** 1,” and the value of “genre” is the received purchase management information. A record having the same “wine” as the “genre” value of “purchase target” is searched, and the number of detected records is counted. For example, assume that the count number is “25”.

  Next, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 acquires the value of “card ID” included in the purchase management information record shown in FIG. 8 so as not to overlap. However, information that matches the reception card identification information is not acquired. The acquired “card ID” is stored in a storage medium (not shown).

  FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating a “card ID” included in the record of purchase management information acquired by the card identification information acquisition unit 115.

  Next, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 acquires the value “123456789123 *** 2” of the first record from the top of the “card ID” shown in FIG. 16, and from the purchase management information shown in FIG. The “card ID” is a record that matches the acquired card identification information “123456789123 *** 2”, and the “genre” value is the “genre” value of the “purchase target” of the received purchase management information. Search for records that have the same “wine” as, and count the number of detected records. For example, assume that the count number is “20”.

  The card identification information acquisition unit 115 obtains the count number “25” acquired for the received card identification information “123456789123 *** 1” from the count number “20” acquired for the card identification information “123456789123 *** 2”. Subtraction is performed, and it is determined whether or not the subtracted value is greater than or equal to a positive value designated in advance. Here, if the positive value designated in advance is “10”, the value obtained by subtraction is “−5”, and it is determined that it is not “10” or more. For this reason, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 does not store the value “123456789123 *** 2” of the first record from the top of the “card ID” illustrated in FIG. 16 in association with the determination condition identification information. When the value obtained by subtraction is “10” or more, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 sets the value “123456789123 *** 2” of the first record from the top of the “card ID” shown in FIG. Are stored in a storage medium (not shown) in association with “master candidate” which is the judgment condition identification information.

  The card identification information acquisition unit 115 sequentially performs the same processing for “card ID” of the second and subsequent records from the “card ID” shown in FIG.

  As a result of the above processing, it is assumed here that there is no “card ID” stored in association with the “master candidate”.

  Next, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 displays the determination condition of the “rival candidate” shown in (D) above and the “rival candidate” that is the determination condition identification information of the determination condition, such as a storage medium (not shown) The card identification information is acquired according to the read determination conditions. Here, for example, it is assumed that the read determination condition is a program for acquiring card identification information by the same process as the process shown in the flowchart of FIG.

  The card identification information acquisition unit 115 displays “wine” as the “genre” value of the “purchase target” in the received purchase management information shown in FIG. 11 and “2012/3/20” as the value of “purchase time”. 19:10 "is acquired. In the purchase management information shown in FIG. 8, the “genre” value matches the “genre” value “wine” acquired above, and the “purchase time” value matches the “purchase time” value acquired above. A record that matches the value “2012/3/20 19:10” is searched. Here, the “purchase time” match is the same as the “purchase time” match in the determination condition of the “lover candidate” described above. Here, it is assumed that a record in which the “management ID” is “100304” and the record in which “100105” is the same is searched.

  The card identification information acquisition unit 115 acquires “123456789123 *** 3” and “123456789123 *** 5”, which are “card IDs” of records determined to match.

  Next, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 determines that the value of the “card ID” is the first “card ID” value of the “card ID” acquired above from the purchase management information shown in FIG. A record that matches “123456789123 *** 3” and whose value of “genre” matches the value of “genre” “wine” acquired from the acceptance purchase management information is searched, and the number of detected records is counted. . Assume that the count number is “18”. The card identification information acquisition unit 115 determines whether or not the count number is equal to or greater than a value specified in advance. Here, if the value designated in advance is “30”, it is not “30” or more, so it is determined that the value is not more than the value designated in advance. For this reason, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 does not store the first “card ID” in association with the determination condition identification information.

  Next, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 obtains the value of the second “card ID” of the “card ID” acquired above from the purchase management information shown in FIG. A record that matches “123456789123 *** 5” and whose “genre” value matches the “genre” value “wine” acquired from the received purchase management information is searched, and the number of detected records is counted. . Assume that the count number is “32”. The card identification information acquisition unit 115 determines whether or not the count number is equal to or greater than a value specified in advance. Here, since the count number is “30” or more which is a predesignated value, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 determines that the second “card ID” “123456789123 *** 5” The information is stored in a storage medium (not shown) in association with “rival candidates” that are determination condition identification information.

  FIG. 17 shows acquired card identification information management information in which the card identification information acquisition unit 115 manages the card identification information acquired by the above four determination processes and stored in a storage medium (not shown). The acquired card identification information management information has items of “card ID” and “judgment condition ID”. The “judgment condition ID” is judgment condition identification information accumulated by the card identification information acquisition unit 115 in association with the card identification information.

  Next, the user-related information acquisition unit 116 acquires user-related information corresponding to each “card ID” managed in FIG. First, the user related information acquisition unit 116 acquires the value “123456789123 *** 3” of the “card ID” of the first record from the top of FIG. 17, and from the user related information shown in FIG. ”And“ 123456789123 *** 3 ”are detected, and user-related information of the detected record, in particular,“ sex ”,“ screen name ”,“ location ” ”Is obtained. Here, the “sex” value “male”, the “screen name” value “cyamamoto”, and the “location” value “Osaka” are acquired and temporarily stored in a storage medium such as a memory. Similarly, user-related information is acquired for the second and subsequent records.

  Next, the output unit 118 searches the notification destination management information shown in FIG. 10 for a record in which the value of the “card ID” matches the reception card identification information “123456789123 *** 1”, and is included in the detected record. The value of “notification destination” “ayamada @ mailpost ...” is acquired.

  FIG. 18 shows template management information for managing template information stored in a storage medium (not shown). The template management information has items of “judgment condition ID” and “template”. “Template” is template information. Here, it is assumed that the information is text information including a character string to be replaced with the information acquired by the user-related information acquisition unit 116 described above. For example, “$ sex $”, “$ screenname $”, and “$ location $” are characters that can be replaced with the values of “sex”, “screenname”, and “location” of the user-related information acquired above, respectively. Is a column.

  First, the output unit 118 acquires “lover candidate” that is the “judgment condition ID” of the first record from the top of the acquired card identification information management information in FIG. 17, and from the template management information illustrated in FIG. A record in which “judgment condition ID” matches “lover candidate” is detected, and “template” information of the detected record is acquired. Then, the user related information acquisition unit 116 replaces the character string to be replaced shown in the acquired template information with respect to the first “card ID” from the top of the acquired card identification information management information shown in FIG. Replace with the values of “sex”, “screen name”, and “location” of the acquired user related information. Then, the text information obtained by the replacement is temporarily stored in a memory or the like. Similarly, the output unit 118 similarly acquires text information for the second and subsequent records from the top of the acquired card identification information management information in FIG. Then, output text information in which the acquired text information is arranged is acquired. This text information for output is text information including user related information. Then, the text information for output is transmitted by e-mail, specifying “ayamada @ mailpost...” That is the notification destination information acquired above as a transmission destination. This notification destination information is assumed to be the email address of the first user.

  The reception unit 131 of the user terminal 13 indicated by the notification destination information “ayamada @ mailpost...” Of the one or more user terminals 13 receives the text information for output transmitted from the card information processing apparatus 11 by e-mail. Receive. The user terminal side output unit 132 displays the output text information received by the reception unit 131 on a monitor or the like (not shown).

  FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating a display example of text information for output including user related information acquired by the user related information acquisition unit 116. Thereby, 1 or more information regarding the user of another payment card can be notified to the 1st user. Note that notifying the first user of one or more pieces of information regarding users of other payment cards may be considered as introducing the users of other payment cards to the first user.

  The card identification information acquisition unit 115 or the like counts the number of times the card identification information is detected as the card identification information satisfying the judgment condition for each card identification information, so that one card identification information is one. When the card identification information acquisition unit 115 detects that the card identification information satisfies the determination condition, the number of detections corresponding to the one determination condition is the number of detections corresponding to the one card identification information. The output unit 118 may output the data. In this case, the output may be performed only when the number of detections is a predetermined number or more, for example, two or more. Alternatively, only the number of times detected continuously may be counted and output.

  In addition, as a determination condition for the lover candidate, a relative condition regarding the age indicated by the user related information is further added, and the card identification information associated with the user related information that also satisfies this condition is used as the determination condition for the lover candidate. You may make it acquire as card identification information to satisfy | fill. For example, the difference between the age indicated by the user-related information corresponding to the reception card identification information and the age indicated by the user-related information corresponding to each card identification information to be determined is equal to or less than a predetermined value, for example, When the card identification information acquisition unit 115 determines whether or not the age is 4 years old or less, and when it is determined that the difference in age is equal to or less than a predetermined value and all the other conditions are satisfied However, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 may acquire the card identification information as card identification information that satisfies the determination condition of the lover candidate.

  Here, it is assumed that the purchase management information receiving unit 112 receives received purchase management information as shown in FIG. 20 instead of the received purchase management information shown in FIG. In the same manner as described above, it is assumed that the card identification information acquisition unit 115 performs determination processing for the determination condition for the lover candidate and the determination condition for the friend candidate, and the card identification information is not acquired.

  Next, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 reads the determination condition of “master candidate” and the determination condition identification information of “master candidate” in the same manner as described above.

  The card identification information acquisition unit 115 acquires “camera” which is the value of “genre” of “purchase target” of the accepted purchase management information shown in FIG. In the purchase management information shown in FIG. 8, the “card ID” is a record that matches the received card identification information “123456789123 *** 1,” and the value of “genre” is the received purchase management information. A record having the same “camera” as the “genre” value of “purchase target” is searched, and the number of detected records is counted. For example, assume that the count number is “6”.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 16, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 acquires the value of “card ID” included in the purchase management information record shown in FIG. 8.

  Next, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 acquires the value “123456789123 *** 2” of the first record from the top of the “card ID” shown in FIG. 16, and from the purchase management information shown in FIG. The “card ID” is a record that matches the acquired card identification information “123456789123 *** 2”, and the “genre” value is the “genre” value of the “purchase target” of the received purchase management information. The record which is the same “camera” is searched and the number of detected records is counted. For example, assume that the count number is “18”.

  The card identification information acquisition unit 115 obtains the count number “6” acquired for the reception card identification information “123456789123 *** 1” from the count number “18” acquired for the card identification information “123456789123 *** 2”. Subtraction is performed, and it is determined whether or not the subtracted value is equal to or greater than “10” which is a positive value designated in advance. Here, the value obtained by subtraction is “12”, and is determined to be “10” or more. For this reason, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 associates the value “123456789123 *** 2” of the first record from the top of the “card ID” shown in FIG. 16 with the “master candidate” as the determination condition identification information. In addition, it is stored in a storage medium (not shown).

  The card identification information acquisition unit 115 sequentially performs the same processing for “card ID” of the second and subsequent records from the “card ID” shown in FIG.

  As a result of the above processing, it is assumed here that only “123456789123 *** 2” is acquired as the “card ID” stored in association with the “master candidate”.

  Next, it is assumed that the card identification information acquisition unit 115 performs the determination process for the rival candidate determination conditions in the same manner as described above, and the card identification information is not acquired.

  Then, the user related information acquisition unit 116 acquires the values of “sex”, “screen name”, and “location” from the record of the user related information whose “card ID” is “123456789123 *** 2”, Similarly to the above, the output unit 118 detects the record whose “judgment condition ID” matches the “master candidate” from the template management information shown in FIG. 18, and acquires it in the “template” of the detected record as described above. Information in which the user related information is arranged is transmitted to the user terminal 13.

  FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating a display example of text information for output including user-related information acquired by the user-related information acquisition unit 116 by the user terminal 13.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to introduce an appropriate person to a user who uses a payment card, specifically, a user of another payment card, using the payment card usage information. In particular, in the present embodiment, users of other payment cards are selected based on purchase information that can be said to be information indicating the actual usage status of the payment card. Therefore, it is appropriate to use accurate and objective data. Users of other payment cards can be selected.

  In the above embodiment, when the purchase management information receiving unit 112 receives the purchase management information, the card identification information acquiring unit 115 acquires the card identification information, and the user related information acquiring unit 116 includes the card identification information. Corresponding user-related information may be acquired, and the output unit 118 may output the user-related information to the notification destination indicated by the notification destination information indicated by the card identification information. The process for outputting the user related information at the time when the purchase management information is received in this way is referred to as “real time notification” here. The point in time here may be triggered by the receipt of purchase management information, or may start processing within a period of about several seconds or several minutes immediately before or after receipt of purchase management information. You may think. On the other hand, you may make it perform the process for outputting user relevant information after the time of the purchase management information reception part 112 receiving purchase management information. Such a case is referred to herein as “notify later”.

In the case of “real-time notification”, the determination condition for the card identification information acquisition unit 115 to acquire the card identification information is, for example, the purchase location and purchase indicated by the purchase information of the purchase management information received by the purchase management information reception unit 112 This is a condition that the card identification information associated with the purchase management information having purchase information indicating the purchase place and purchase time very close to the time is acquired. That is, “real-time notification” refers to, for example, the card identification information of another user who has purchased a product in a very close place immediately before or after the user purchases the product in real time. It is to notify. The conditions that the purchase places are very close are, for example, the condition that the purchase stores are the same, and the condition that the distance between the purchase places is less than a predetermined distance, for example, less than 10 m. is there. The condition that the purchase time is very close is, for example, a condition that the time difference between the purchase times is less than a predetermined time, for example, within 5 minutes. In the case of “real-time notification”, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 acquires the card identification information in consideration of the current position of the user and the current position of the opponent (for example, the position where the opponent was immediately before).

  In the case of “notify later”, the determination may be made using the determination conditions described in the above embodiment. Also, in the case of “notify later”, for example, a determination process for acquiring card identification information is performed using a determination condition for a predetermined number of times at a predetermined time of the day. You may do it. In the case of “notify later”, the distance between the purchase location of the user and the purchase location of another user does not need to be set to a very close distance as in the case of “real-time notification”. In the case of “notify later”, since determination is not performed at the time of purchase or the like, whether or not the user's address is within the same range may be used as a determination condition.

  It should be noted that both “real time notification” and “later notification” may be performed, or for example, the user may individually turn on and off.

  It is preferable that the form of the user-related information output by the output unit 118 be different between “real time notification” and “notify later”. For example, it is preferable to use different templates. For example, in the case of “real-time notification”, the output unit 118 transmits user-related information “A fateful person was found. Mr. chamada who is shopping at the same store now.” ", The output unit 118 may output user-related information such as" A fateful person was found. Mr. chamada residing in Osaka. "

  In the case of “real-time notification”, when the purchase management information receiving unit 112 receives the purchase management information, the card identification information acquiring unit 115 determines the card identification information of different users according to the received purchase management information. You may make it acquire. For example, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 may acquire card identification information of different users according to the purchase object indicated by the purchase information included in the received purchase management information. That is, even if the same person uses a payment card in the same place and in the same time zone, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 selects different opponents depending on the purchase target for the payment. You may make it acquire card identification information. Specifically, as in the above-described embodiment, user card identification information such as a lover candidate, a teacher candidate, a friend candidate, and a rival candidate may be acquired using determination conditions corresponding to each.

  For example, when Mr. A purchases wine, when the purchase management information reception unit 112 receives purchase management information including purchase information indicating a purchase object called wine, the card identification information acquisition unit 115 indicates the same store. There is a relationship designated in advance for the wine from the purchase management information associated with the purchase place and the purchase time within a predetermined short time (for example, within one minute) before and after the purchase place. Purchase management information including purchase information may be detected, and card identification information corresponding to the purchase management information may be acquired as card identification information of a lover candidate or a friend candidate user.

  Also, for example, when Mr. B purchases a glove, when the purchase management information receiving unit 112 receives purchase management information including purchase information indicating a purchase object called a glove, the card identification information acquiring unit 115 And a purchase management information associated with the purchase location within a predetermined short time (for example, within 1 minute) before and after the purchase location, and a relationship designated in advance for the globe The purchase management information including the purchased purchase information may be detected, and the card identification information corresponding to the purchase management information may be acquired as the card identification information of the rival candidate user.
