Next, with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 4, a process of associating event information with a shooting spot using the image evaluation system 2 according to the first embodiment will be described. In the following, an example is taken in which an event planning company X (hereinafter referred to as company X) planning to hold an XX event associates event information A1 of the XX event with a shooting spot a (see FIG. 6), which is the planned venue. explain. The flowchart is mainly described with the CPU 20 of the image evaluation server 4.

First, when Company X accesses the image evaluation site from the browser of the terminal 8, the screen of the image evaluation site is displayed on the LCD display unit 38 of the terminal 8 of the company X. Here, on the image evaluation site, a button (not shown) for associating event information or the like with location information, such as "associate with a shooting spot", is displayed.

Next, when Company X operates the "Associate with a shooting spot" button, the CPU 20 displays an authentication screen prompting the input of an ID and a password on the LCD display unit 38. Next, when the ID and password are input, the CPU 20 causes the LCD display unit 38 to display a map displaying the positions of the shooting spots stored in the shooting spot storage unit 28 (step S1).

Next, when the shooting spot a is selected from the map by Company X, the CPU 20 displays a message such as "Please select the information associated with this shooting spot" on the LCD display unit 38, and then the ID and The event information of company X is extracted from the personal information storage unit 24 based on the password, and a list of event information of company X is displayed (step S2). The event information does not necessarily have to be stored in the personal information storage unit 24, and the company X may upload it from the terminal 8 when associating.

Next, when Company X selects event information A1 from the list of event information, the CPU 30 of the terminal 8 transmits an instruction signal to the image evaluation server 4 to associate the event information A1 with the shooting spot a. When the CPU 20 receives the instruction signal, the CPU 20 associates the event information A1 with the shooting spot information of the shooting spot a (step S3). Next, the CPU 20 refers to the information stored in the billing information storage unit 25, and charges the company X for the registration fee for associating the event information A1 with the shooting spot a (step S4).

Next, with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, a process when the terminal 8 according to the first embodiment approaches a shooting spot to which the event information is associated will be described. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a flowchart of the notification process, and FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a positional relationship between the terminal 8 and a shooting spot when the notification is performed. Here, when the shooting spot a, the shooting spot b, and the shooting spot c shown in FIG. 6 are registered in the shooting spot storage unit 28, the terminal 8 becomes the shooting spot with respect to the terminal 8 (digital camera). The case of notifying the approaching and the event information associated with the shooting spot will be described as an example. The terminal shown in FIG. 5 includes a plurality of terminals as described in FIG.

First, a user who wishes to be notified of information on a shooting spot and event information is set so that the position information can be transmitted from the owned terminal 8 to the image evaluation server 4. Next, the CPU 30 of the terminal 8 starts acquiring the position information by positioning the current position by GPS 44, and transmits the acquired position information together with the address to the image evaluation server 4 via the network 6 (step S11). .. Here, the acquisition and transmission of the position information are performed at regular time intervals.

When the CPU 20 of the image evaluation server 4 receives the position information and the address via the network 6 (step S12), the CPU 20 reads the shooting spot information from the shooting spot storage unit 28, and the position of the shooting spot and the position of the received position information. The distance between and is calculated (step S13). For example, when the received position information is the position information of the place X, the CPU 20 calculates the distance between the place X and the shooting spot a, the shooting spot b, and the shooting spot c, respectively.

Next, the CPU 20 determines whether or not any of the distances calculated in step S13 is equal to or less than a predetermined distance (step S14). If none of the distances calculated in step S12 is less than or equal to the predetermined distance (step S14: No), that is, if the terminal 8 is not close to the position of any shooting spot, the process of step S12 is performed. Return. On the other hand, when some of the distances calculated in step S13 are less than or equal to a predetermined distance (step S14: Yes), that is, when the terminal 8 approaches the position of any shooting spot, the image evaluation server 4 CPU 20 notifies that the terminal 8 has approached the position of the shooting spot together with the event information associated with the shooting spot (step S15). For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the terminal 8 approaches the shooting spot a, the shooting spot information of the shooting spot a and the event information A1 are transmitted to the address of the terminal 8.

When the terminal 8 receives the notification from the image evaluation server 4 (step S16), the terminal 8 displays a message such as "There is a shooting spot nearby" on the LCD display unit 38, and then a map showing the position of the shooting spot a and an event. The information A1 is displayed on the LCD display unit 38 (step S17).

Next, the CPU 20 detects the number of terminals 8 that have transmitted the event information A1 (step S18). Next, the CPU 20 refers to the information regarding the transmission fee for one time stored in the billing information storage unit 25, and charges the company X for the transmission fee for the number of terminals 8 that have transmitted the event information A1 (step S19). ).

According to the image evaluation system 2 according to the first embodiment, when the event information is associated with the shooting spot and when the event information is transmitted to the address of the terminal 8, the event planning company is notified. Since the billing is performed, the administrator of the image evaluation server 4 can obtain advertising revenue from the event planning company. The target to be charged does not necessarily have to be the event planning company. For example, an individual may associate event information, and the individual who associates the event information may be charged.

In addition, by associating event information with a shooting spot, an event planning company can advertise itself through an image evaluation site.

Further, when the user of the terminal 8 approaches a predetermined distance from the shooting spot, the position information of the shooting spot and the event information are transmitted to the address of the terminal 8, so that the user of the terminal 8 uses the current location as the shooting spot. You can know that an event is being held at a shooting spot nearby.

In addition, by charging, it is possible to eliminate an easy association due to an idea or the like, and it is possible to associate only useful event information with a shooting spot. Further, by charging according to the number of terminals 8 that have transmitted the event information, it is possible to charge in proportion to the advertising effect.

Next, the processing of the image evaluation system according to the second embodiment will be described. In the image extraction system according to the second embodiment, in the first embodiment, the shooting point of the image uploaded to the image evaluation site is stored in the shooting spot storage unit 28 as the shooting spot information (hereinafter, the spot registration). The event information is associated with the shooting point before it is done. Therefore, in the second embodiment, the processing different from that of the first embodiment will be described in detail, and the description of the overlapping portion will be omitted as appropriate. In the following, as shown in FIG. 7, the event planning company Y (hereinafter referred to as company Y) planning to hold the YY event associates the event information B1 of the YY event with the shooting point b which is the planned venue. A case will be described as an example.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a process when event information is associated with a shooting point that is not registered as a shooting spot. The flowchart is mainly described with the CPU 20 of the image evaluation server 4.

First, when Company Y accesses the image evaluation site from the browser of the terminal 8, the screen of the image evaluation site is displayed on the LCD display unit 38 of the terminal 8 of Company Y. Here, on the image evaluation site, a button (not shown) for associating event information or the like with the position information of the shooting point, such as "associate with the shooting point", is displayed.

Next, when Company Y operates the "associate with shooting point" button, the CPU 20 displays an authentication screen prompting the input of the ID and password on the LCD display unit 38. Next, when the ID and password are input, the CPU 20 causes the LCD display unit 38 to display a map displaying the shooting points of the image based on the image data stored in the image storage unit 26 (step S21).

Next, when the shooting point b is selected from the map by Company Y, the CPU 20 displays a message such as "Please select the information associated with this shooting point" on the LCD display unit 38, and then the ID and The event information of company Y is extracted from the personal information storage unit 24 based on the password, and a list of event information of company Y is displayed (step S22).

Next, when Company Y selects event information B1 from the list of event information, the CPU 30 of the terminal 8 transmits an instruction signal to the image evaluation server 4 to associate the event information B1 with the shooting point b. When the CPU 20 receives the instruction signal, the CPU 20 associates the event information B1 with the position information of the shooting point b (step S23). Next, the CPU 20 charges the Y company for the registration fee stored in the billing information storage unit 25. (Step S24).

Next, the image β captured at the imaging point b is evaluated by a plurality of evaluators, and when the evaluation score of the image β exceeds a predetermined score, the CPU 20 determines the imaging point associated with the image data of the image β. The location information of b is registered as a shooting spot information (step S25).

Next, the CPU 20 notifies the newly registered shooting spot information and the event information B1 to the address registered in the personal information storage unit 24 (step S26). Specifically, take a picture with a message such as "We will inform you of newly registered recommended shooting spots" to the addresses of digital cameras, smartphones, tablet terminals, mobile phones, and personal computers shown in Fig. 1. Send an e-mail with tourist attraction information and event information B1 attached.

Next, the CPU 20 detects the number of terminals 8 that have transmitted the event information B1 (step S27). Next, the CPU 20 refers to the information regarding the transmission fee for one time stored in the billing information storage unit 25, and charges the Y company for the transmission fee for the number of terminals 8 that have transmitted the event information B1 (step S28). ).

The notification processing of the shooting spot and the event information B1 to the terminal 8 when the terminal 8 approaches the shooting spot b is the same as that of the first embodiment, and thus the description thereof will be omitted.

According to the image evaluation system 2 according to the second embodiment, when the shooting point associated with the event information is registered as a famous place, the position information and the event information of the shooting place are transmitted to the address of the terminal 8. Therefore, the event planning company can advertise itself in a timely manner through the image evaluation site. In the second embodiment, not when the event information B1 is associated with the position information of the shooting point b, but when the shooting point b associated with the event information B1 is registered as a famous place, the company Y A registration fee may be charged.

Next, the processing of the image evaluation system according to the third embodiment will be described. In the second embodiment, the image extraction system according to the third embodiment associates event information with a shooting point that is not associated with image data. Therefore, in the third embodiment, the processing different from that of the second embodiment will be described in detail, and the description of the overlapping portion will be omitted as appropriate. In the following, as shown in FIG. 9, when the event planning company Z (hereinafter referred to as company Z) planning to hold the ZZ event associates the event information C1 of the ZZ event with the point c1 which is the planned venue. Will be described as an example.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a process of associating event information with position information added to image data when an image is uploaded to an image evaluation site. The flowchart is mainly described with the CPU 20 of the image evaluation server 4. First, Company Z associates the point c1 which is the planned place where the event information C1 is held with the event information C1 and registers it in the personal information storage unit 24 (step S31).

Next, each time the image is uploaded to the image evaluation site, the CPU 20 collates the position of the shooting point of the uploaded image with the position of the point c1 (step S32).

When the position of the shooting point of the uploaded image and the position of the point c1 match, the CPU 20 associates the event information C1 with the position information added to the image data (step S33). For example, when the position information of the shooting point c is added to the image data of the uploaded image and the position of the shooting point c and the position of the point c1 match, the event information is given to the position information of the shooting point c. Associate C1. The image data in which the event information C1 is associated with the position information is stored in the image storage unit 26.

When the event information C1 is associated with the position information of the shooting point c, the CPU 20 refers to the information stored in the billing information storage unit 25, and Z the registration fee generated when the event information is associated. Charge the company (step S34).

The second implementation is the processing when the shooting point c is registered as a shooting spot c, and the notification processing of the shooting spot and event information C1 to the terminal 8 when the terminal 8 approaches the shooting spot c. Since it is the same as the form of, the description thereof will be omitted.

According to the image evaluation system 2 according to the third embodiment, the event information can be directly associated with the position information even when the image is not uploaded. In addition, since no registration fee is incurred when the event information is directly associated with the location information, the event planning company can easily register the event information. In addition, the event planning company determines whether or not to hold the ZZ event with a margin, such as canceling the holding of the ZZ event if the image of the point registered by associating the event information is not uploaded within the predetermined period. be able to. In the third embodiment, the registration fee may be charged to Company Z when the point c1 is registered in association with the event information C1.

In the first embodiment described above, the registration fee may be increased or decreased according to the name of the photographed famous place. For example, the administrator of the image evaluation server 4 extracts in advance the shooting spot information of the shooting spot that is considered to be well-known from the shooting spot information stored in the shooting spot storage unit 28, and determines that the shooting spot information is high. Associate the information to be shown. Then, when the company X associates the event information with a well-known shooting spot, the company X is charged an amount obtained by increasing the registration fee registered in the billing information storage unit 25 by a predetermined ratio. In addition, the shooting spots may be ranked based on the total value of the evaluation points, and the registration fee may be increased or decreased according to the rank of the shooting spots. Further, the name recognition of the photographing spot may be determined by referring to an external site via the network 6.

Further, in the first embodiment described above, the number of uploaded images is counted each time the image taken at the shooting spot a is uploaded to the image evaluation site, and the image taken at the shooting spot a is counted. The registration fee charged to Company X when the event information is associated with the shooting spot a may be increased or decreased according to the number of images.

Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, the user of the terminal 8 may be able to select whether or not to receive notification of event information. For example, a user who does not want to be notified of event information associates information to the effect that he / she does not want to be notified of event information with the address registered in the personal information storage unit 24. As a result, it is possible to prevent information that the user does not want from being delivered together with the shooting spot information. In addition, by preventing notification of event information that has no advertising effect, it is possible to prevent the event planning company from being charged more than necessary.

Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, a predetermined fee may be charged to the user of the terminal 8 who has been notified of the event information. For example, the event planning company attaches instruction information to charge the user of the terminal 8 who has been notified of the event information when associating the event information with the shooting spot. When the terminal 8 approaches this shooting spot, the CPU 20 first transmits only the shooting spot information to the address of the terminal 8. Next, referring to the instruction information, after displaying a message such as "You will be charged to see the event information related to the shooting spot" on the LCD display unit 38, a selection screen such as "See / Do not see" is displayed. To do. When the user of the terminal 8 selects "view", the event information is transmitted to the address of the user's terminal 8 and the user is charged. As a result, the number of event information transmitted can be narrowed down when the number of participants in the event is limited. In addition, event information that is so valuable that the recipient of the notification is charged can be distinguished from other event information.

Further, in the third embodiment described above, the case where the event information C1 is associated and registered with the planned venue (point c1) of the ZZ event is described as an example, but the planned venue of the ZZ event is described. The event information C1 may be associated with the image data of the image of. For example, Company Z first captures an image γ at the planned location (point c1) of the ZZ event. Next, Company Z associates the event information C1 with the image data of the image γ, and uploads the image data associated with the event information C1 to the image evaluation site. Next, when the image γ is open to the public and can be viewed, and the image data is stored in the image storage unit 26, the CPU 20 charges the company Z a predetermined registration fee. As a result, Company Z can associate the event information with the shooting point of the image without waiting until the planned location (c1) of the ZZ event matches the shooting point of the uploaded image.

Next, the image γ is evaluated by a plurality of evaluators, and when the evaluation score of the image γ exceeds a predetermined score, the CPU 20 registers the shooting point of the image γ as a shooting spot. Here, when the shooting point of the image γ is registered as a famous place, the CPU 20 refunds a part of the registration fee already charged to the company Z. In this case, by giving a reward in the form of a partial refund of the registration fee to the person who uploaded the image of high quality enough to be registered as a famous place, the user's motivation to shoot is motivated and high quality images are solicited. Can be done.

Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, the event planning company is charged a registration fee based on the association of the event information and a transmission fee based on the transmission of the event information to the address of the user's terminal 8. Although it is charged, only one of the registration fee and the transmission fee may be charged. As a result, the financial burden on the event planning company can be reduced.

Further, in the second and third embodiments described above, when the notification fee for the event information is charged when the shooting point becomes the shooting spot, the charge is not performed when the terminal 8 approaches the shooting spot. You may. Further, when the terminal 8 charges the event information notification fee when the terminal 8 approaches the shooting spot, it is not necessary to charge the event information notification fee when the shooting point becomes the shooting spot.

Further, in the second embodiment described above, when the shooting spot associated with the event information is registered as a famous place, the shooting spot information and the event information are addressed to the address registered in the personal information storage unit 24. Although it is notified, if the user so desires, the photographed spot information and the event information may be notified even if the spot is not registered. For example, when the event information is associated with the shooting point, the shooting spot information and the event information are notified to the user's address.

Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, information that serves as a reference for determining that the terminal 8 has approached the shooting spot may be recorded in the event information. For example, the event planning company records in advance in the event information that it determines whether or not the terminal 8 has approached the shooting spot based on 100 m. In this case, the CPU 20 transmits the shooting spot information and the event information to the address of the terminal 8 when the terminal 8 approaches the shooting spot within 100 m. For this reason, the event planning company sets a predetermined distance narrowly when the shooting spots associated with the event information are likely to be crowded, and when the shooting spots associated with the event information are likely to be less crowded. Can arbitrarily adjust the notification range of event information according to the actual situation of the shooting spot, such as setting a wide predetermined distance.

Further, the period for notifying that the terminal 8 has approached the shooting spot may be limited to, for example, an event holding period. In this case, when the terminal 8 approaches the shooting spot during the event holding period, the CPU 20 transmits the shooting spot information and the event information to the address of the terminal 8. On the other hand, when the terminal 8 approaches the shooting spot outside the event holding period, the transmission to the address of the terminal 8 is not performed.

Further, when the terminal 8 approaches the shooting spot, it is not necessary to transmit the event information to all the terminals 8 approaching the shooting spot. For example, the CPU 20 randomly extracts an address to actually transmit the event information from the addresses of the terminal 8 to be transmitted, and transmits the event information only to the extracted address. As a result, when the shooting spot to which the event information is associated is a crowded place, the shooting spot (event venue) can be prevented from being crowded.

Further, the target age for transmitting the event information may be recorded in the event information. For example, an event planning company registers event information whose target age is 20 years or older in the personal information storage unit 24. In this case, when the plurality of terminals 8 approach the shooting spot, the CPU 20 transmits the event information to the address of the terminal 8 of the user who is 20 years old or older. In this case, the user associates the age with the address registered in the personal information storage unit 24.

Further, the CPU 20 may refer to the map data stored in the map data storage unit 29 when transmitting the shooting spot information and the event information. For example, when the event information is associated with the shooting spot, the CPU 20 recognizes the transportation network that can go to the shooting spot from the map data. Then, the CPU 20 transmits the shooting spot information and the event information to the address of the user of the terminal 8 located on the transportation network. For example, when the terminal 8 is located at a station on the line leading to the shooting spot, or when the terminal 8 is moving in the direction of the shooting spot on the route leading to the shooting spot, the current location of the terminal 8 and the shooting spot Even if the distance between them is not within a predetermined distance, the shooting spot information and the event information are transmitted to the address of the user of the terminal 8.
