The recipient name input field 81 in FIG. 14 is a field to which the information indicating the name (for example, the real name, the nickname, or the like) of the recipient of the message letter is input. The category input field 82 is a field to which the information indicating the type of message letter is input. The question input field 83 is a field to which the information indicating the question for inputting the message of the message letter to the recipient as an answer is input. The deadline input field 84 is a field to which the information indicating the deadline of the entry or the input of the message by the participant is input.
Question Input Field
The question input field 83 is configured such that the information indicating the pre-created question described above or an administrator-created question is input. The “administrator-created question” is a concept indicating a question created by the administrator (that is, the organizer) administering the generation of the message letter.
Question Input Field-Input of Pre-Created Question
Specifically, for example, the category input field 82 is configured by using any method (for example, any method such as a method using a technology relevant to mouseover) such that in a case where the category input field 82 is tapped, “Birthday”, “Wedding ceremony”, and “Farewell ceremony”, which are the type information in the question related information of FIG. 7, are displayed as a list, and one type information piece in the displayed type information is selected by the user.
Here, for example, the description will be made on the assumption that “AA” is input to the recipient name input field 81. Then, in a case where “Birthday” is selected among “Birthday”, “Wedding ceremony”, and “Farewell ceremony”, which are displayed as a list when the category input field 82 in FIG. 14 is tapped by the user who is the organizer through the touch pad 12, the control unit 15 of the terminal device 1 transmits information indicating “Birthday” that is selected, and “AA” that is information input to the recipient name input field 81 to the server device 2.
On the other hand, the control unit 23 of the server device 2 specifies question contents information belonging to “Birthday” type information indicated by the information received from the terminal device 1, with reference to the question related information in FIG. 7, and selects a predetermined number (corresponding to the number of question input fields 83 in FIG. 14, and for example, three) of question contents information pieces among the specified question contents information. Note that, here, a selection method is any method, and for example, any three question contents information pieces may be selected by using a random function. Next, the control unit 23 of the server device 2 selects “What would you like to say to Mr./Ms. ○○?”, “What is your favorite part about Mr./Ms. ○○?”, and “What memories do you have in common with Mr./Ms. ○○?”, as three selected question contents information pieces, and replaces the “○○” portion of the selected question contents information pieces with “AA” received from the terminal device 1 to generate “What would you like to say to Mr./Ms. AA?”, “What is your favorite part about Mr./Ms. AA?”, and “What memories do you have in common with Mr./Ms. AA?”, as the question contents information, and transmits the generated question contents information to the terminal device 1, and thus, as illustrated in FIG. 15, inputs and displays the generated question contents information to question input fields 831 to 833.
As described above, in a case where the user inputs the information indicating the type of message letter to the category input field 82, information indicating a question corresponding to the input type may be automatically input and displayed to the question input field 83.
Note that, in a case where the question input field 83 is tapped, communication may be performed between the terminal device 1 and the server device 2, and the user may select and input information indicating a question corresponding to the other question contents information in the question related information of FIG. 7.
Question Input Field-Administrator-Created Question
Specifically, for example, in a case where a manual input button (not illustrated) is displayed on the screen for inputting setting information, and the manual input button is tapped, an automatic input mode (a mode in which input is automatically performed as with the input of the pre-created question described above) may be switched to a manual input mode (for example, a mode in which the user is capable of freely inputting information), and information indicating a question created by the user may be input and displayed to the question input field 83 through the touch pad 12.
Processing
The control unit 23 of the server device 2 generates screen information of a setting information input screen in FIG. 14 and transmits the screen information to the terminal device 1, and thus, displays the setting information input screen on the display 13 of the terminal device 1.
SB2
In SB2 of FIG. 13, the control unit 23 of the server device 2 acquires information.
For example, in a case where the user who is the organizer inputs information to each input field through the touch pad 12, as illustrated in FIG. 15, and performs a predetermined manipulation (for example, a manipulation of tapping a “Save” button, which is not illustrated), the input information is transmitted to the server device 2 from the terminal device 1. On the other hand, the control unit 23 of the server device 2 receives and acquires the information transmitted from the terminal device 1.
SB3
In SB3 of FIG. 13, the control unit 23 of the server device 2 stores the setting information.
For example, first, “IDb001” that is unique information is generated and stored as the booklet ID in FIG. 8. In addition, “D001.jpg” acquired in SA2 of FIG. 12 is stored as the booklet design information in FIG. 8. In addition, “IDu001” input at login in SA1 of FIG. 12 is stored as the organizer information in FIG. 8. In addition, “AA” input to the recipient name input field 81 in FIG. 15 acquired in SB2 of FIG. 13, “Birthday” input to the category input field 82, each information piece input to the question input field 83, and “Jun. 15, 2020” input to the deadline input field 84 are stored as the recipient information, the type information, the question information, and the deadline information in FIG. 8.
Specifically, for the question information, “What would you like to say to Mr./Ms. AA?” input to the question input field 831 corresponding to “Q1” in FIG. 15 is stored as “Question 1: What would you like to say to Mr./Ms. AA?” together with information such as “Question 1” indicating a question number. In addition, similar storage is performed for the information input to the question input fields 832 to 833 in FIG. 15. According to such processing, the setting information in FIG. 8 is stored. Then, returns the setting information storage processing.

In addition, “Hope this year is great” input to the free message input field 74 in FIG. 17 is stored as “Free: Hope this year is great”, together with information such as “Free” indicating that it is a free message.
Note that, for the image information in FIG. 10, for example, a predetermined manipulation (for example, a manipulation of tapping an image registration button, which is not illustrated) is performed in the answer related information input field of FIG. 17, and thus, image information stored in the recording unit 14 of the terminal device 1 or image information captured by using a camera (not illustrated) of the terminal device 1 may be transmitted to the server device 2 side, and the transmitted image information may be acquired and stored by the acquisition unit 231 of the server device 2. According to such processing, information relevant to “B1” in the answer related information of FIG. 10 is stored.
SA5
In SA5 of FIG. 12, the acquisition unit 231 of the server device 2 performs processing of transmitting information for editing. The “information for editing” is information for allowing the participant in the message letter to input or suitably edit the answer related information, and for example, a case will be described in which a URL for accessing a web page (hereinafter, referred to as a “web page for inputting information”) for inputting or suitably editing the information is used as the information for editing.
Here, for example, for the message letter of “booklet ID”=“IDb001” in which “B1” is the organizer, the acquisition unit 231 of the server device 2 generates a URL for inputting or suitably editing the answer related information, and transmits the URL to the participant side (that is, “B2” or the like who is the member and “B3” or the like who is the non-member). A specific transmission method is any method, and for example, the URL may be transmitted to the terminal device 1 carried by the participant through an e-mail, a predetermined communication application, a SNS, or the like.
Note that, in FIG. 12, for convenience of description, SA5 is executed after SA4, but the execution order may be reversed, or SA4 and SA5 may be simultaneously executed after SA3. With this, the organizer related processing is ended.
Processing-Participant Related Processing
The participant related processing will be described. FIG. 18 is a flowchart of the participant related processing. The participant related processing is processing related to the participant for the message letter, and for example, is processing executed by the server device 2.
It is assumed that the execution of the participant related processing, for example, is started in the case of accessing the “web page for inputting information”, on the basis of the information for editing transmitted in SA5 of FIG. 12 (for example, a URL for accessing the “web page for inputting information” relevant to the message letter of “booklet ID”=“IDb001”), and the description will be made from a point when the processing is started. That is, a case will be described in which the booklet ID indicating the message letter to be processed is “IDb001”.
SC1
In SC1 of FIG. 18, the acquisition unit 231 of the server device 2 determines whether to allow the user who is the participant to log in and input information or to allow the user to input information without login.
For example, the acquisition unit 231 of the server device 2 generates screen information for displaying a screen for selecting an input mode including a “Log in and Input” button and an “Input without Login” button, and transmits the screen information to the terminal device 1, and thus, displays the screen for selecting an input mode on the display 13 of the terminal device 1.
On the other hand, for example, in a case where “B2”, the participant who is the member, taps the “Log in and Input” button through the touch pad 12, the acquisition unit 231 of the server device 2 determines that the information is to be input by login (YES in SC1), and proceeds to SC2. In addition, for example, in a case where “B3”, the participant who is a non-member, taps the “Input without Login” button through the touch pad 12, the acquisition unit 231 of the server device 2 determines that the information is to be input without login (that is, the information is not input by login) (NO in SC1), and proceeds to SC7.
SC2
In SC2 of FIG. 18, the acquisition unit 231 of the server device 2 allows the user to log in. Specifically, the same processing as SA1 in FIG. 12 is performed.
For example, in a case where “B2”, the participant who is the member, inputs “IDu002” and “pass2”, the acquisition unit 231 of the server device 2 authenticates that “B2” is the member, with reference to the member information in FIG. 6, and allows “B2” to log in.
SC3===
In SC3 of FIG. 18, the acquisition unit 231 of the server device 2 stores the answer related information. Specifically, by performing the same processing as SA4 in FIG. 12, the screen for inputting answer related information is displayed, information input to the screen for inputting answer related information is acquired, and the answer related information of “B2” who is the participant is stored on the basis of the acquired information. Here, for example, information relevant to “B2” among the answer related information of FIG. 10 is stored.
SC4
In SC4 of FIG. 18, the acquisition unit 231 of the server device 2 displays the answer related information stored in SC3. For example, in a case where “B2” who is the participant taps a “Preview” button (not illustrated) through the touch pad 12, the acquisition unit 231 of the server device 2 displays a preview screen for displaying the information stored in SC3 on the display 13 of the terminal device 1. In this case, “B2” who is the participant is capable of checking the information that “B2” itself inputs and stores by visually recognizing the preview screen.
SC5
In SC5 of FIG. 18, the acquisition unit 231 of the server device 2 determines whether to edit the answer related information stored in SC3. For example, in a case where “B2” who is the participant taps an “Edit” button (not illustrated) through the touch pad 12, the acquisition unit 231 of the server device 2 determines that the editing is to be performed (YES in SC5), and proceeds to SC6. On the other hand, in a case where “B2” who is the participant does not tap the “Edit” button (not illustrated) through the touch pad 12 within a predetermined period of time, the acquisition unit 231 of the server device 2 determines that the editing is not to be performed (NO in SC5), and ends the processing.
SC6
In SC6 of FIG. 18, the acquisition unit 231 of the server device 2 edits the answer related information stored in SC3. Specific processing is any processing, and for example, the screen for inputting answer related information in FIG. 17, on which each information piece stored in SC3 is reflected, is displayed on the terminal device 1, and edits the answer related information, on the basis of the information that is input to the screen for inputting answer related information from “B2” who is the participant. As described above, the participant “B2” who is the member is capable of storing the answer related information, and then, suitably editing the information.
SC7
In SC7 after it is determined that “B3”, the participant who is the non-member, taps the “Input without Login” button, and the information is to be input without login (NO in SC1) in SC1 of FIG. 18, the answer related information is stored. Specifically, by performing the same processing as SA4 in FIG. 12, the screen for inputting answer related information is displayed, the information input to the screen for inputting answer related information is acquired, and the answer related information of “B3” who is the participant is stored on the basis of the acquired information. Here, for example, information relevant to “B3” (in FIG. 10, the display is partially omitted) among the answer related information in FIG. 10 is stored.
SC8
In SC8 of FIG. 18, the acquisition unit 231 of the server device 2 displays the answer related information stored in SC7. For example, the same processing as SC4 is performed. In this case, “B3” who is the participant is capable of checking the information that “B3” itself inputs and stores by visually recognizing the preview screen. With this, the participant related processing is ended.
Editing of Answer Related Information (Part 1)
In the participant related processing of FIG. 18, for the participant “B2” who is the member, since SC5 and SC6 are executed after the answer related information is stored in SC3, he/she is capable of suitably editing the information.
On the other hand, for the participant “B3” who is the non-member, since the processing such as SC5 and SC6 is not executed after the answer related information is stored in SC7, he/she is not capable of suitably editing the information. Here, for example, in the setting information of FIG. 8, by focusing on the case that the organizer information relevant to each message letter is stored, in a case where the login is performed as the organizer, the organizer is capable of freely editing the own answer related information or the answer related information of the other person. Then, in a case where the participant “B3” who is the non-member has a desire to edit the answer related information, “B1” who is the organizer may be requested to edit the answer related information with any method (for example, contact by telephone, e-mail, or the like), and “B1” that has received the request may edit the answer related information relevant to “B3” who is the non-member.
Editing of Answer Related Information (Part 2)
In addition, for example, in a case where “B2”, the participant who is the member, accesses again the “web page for inputting information”, in a state where the answer related information in FIG. 10 is stored, by executing SC1 to SC6 in FIG. 18, since the answer related information is already stored after SC1 and SC2 are executed, SC4 to SC6 may be executed without executing SC3. Note that, in this case, the control unit 23 of the server device 2 may specify the current date, on the basis of the own timekeeping unit (for example, a timer or the like), and may specify “Jun. 15, 2020” that is the deadline information associated with “IDb001” that is the booklet ID indicating the message letter to be processed, with reference to the setting information in FIG. 8, and in a case where the current date is before “Jun. 15, 2020”, the “Edit” button (not illustrated) may be set to be tappable, whereas in a case where the current date is after “Jun. 15, 2020”, the “Edit” button (not illustrated) may be deleted not to be tappable. According to such a configuration, the answer related information is capable of being edited by the participant before the deadline, and the answer related information is not capable of being edited by the participant after the deadline.
Processing-Provision Processing
The provision processing will be described. FIG. 19 is a flowchart of the provision processing. The provision processing is processing for providing the message letter to a receiver, and for example, is processing executed by the server device 2.
It is assumed that the execution of the provision processing, for example, is started in a case where the user who is the organizer performs a predetermined manipulation for executing the provision processing through the touch pad 12 after the deadline, and the description will be made from a point when the processing is started. Here, for example, a case will be described in which the message letter identified by “booklet ID”=“IDb001” is provided.
SD1
In SD1 of FIG. 19, the administration unit 232 of the server device 2 specifies a provision format for providing the message letter.
For example, the user who is the organizer inputs format designation information for designating any one or two or more formats of the format of the bound booklet (hereinafter, referred to as a “binding format”), the downloadable file in the predetermined format (hereinafter, referred to as a “file format”), and the format of the browsable information that can be browsed (as an example, the information corresponding to the web page that can be browsed by the web browser, and the like) (hereinafter, referred to as a “web page format”) through the touch pad 12, in accordance with a demand from the other user (for example, the participant or the recipient).
In this case, the input format designation information is transmitted to the server device 2 from the terminal device 1, and the administration unit 232 of the server device 2 receives the format designation information, and specifies the format designated by the received format designation information, as the provision format of the message letter.
