(6) Players that the user is interested in (including professionals and amateurs)
Has been adopted.

In addition, as "indicator about meeting",
(1) Information as to whether or not the event is one in which a designated user participates (entry) (2) Items set by the organizer such as regulations for the event (3) Adopting the index for the user who has entered There is.

As an example, the matching degree may be implemented by vectorizing an index related to the tournament and an index related to the user, and calculating from the similarity between the two vectors (for example, cosine similarity). By doing so, for example, when the number of participants in the tournament is “limited to those in their 40s” and the user is 40 years old, the matching degree can be higher than that of the user who is 20 years old. Further, for example, if there is a competition in which a professional player or an acquaintance interested in a certain user participates, the matching degree between the user and the competition can be calculated to be larger.

Further, for example, the matching degree may be determined simply by whether or not the conditions match. Specifically, if the condition is not met, the matching degree is set to 0. By doing so, in the case of a tournament limited to those in their 40s, the user aged 20 can be prevented from matching at all.

The tournament introducing means 236 searches for a tournament suitable for the user or a tournament that is likely to be interested (that is, a recommended tournament), and notifies the user of the information about the tournament. Specifically, the tournament introducing means 236 first causes the tournament matching means 235 to function and calculate the degree of matching with the tournament scheduled to be held for a user who has satisfied a predetermined trigger condition (hereinafter, referred to as a notification trigger condition). .. The notification trigger condition may be, for example, user login, confirmation of holding a new tournament, change of tournament content, user's own request, or the like.

Then, the tournament introducing means 236 searches the database for a tournament for which the matching degree is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold value (a threshold value T) for the user who has satisfied the notification trigger condition. When the tournament introducing unit 236 finds a tournament with a matching degree equal to or higher than the threshold value T, the tournament introducing unit 236 notifies the user of the held information of the tournament via the information processing unit 231.

The specific notification destination is the user side terminal of the user, and examples of the notification means include direct transmission to the user side terminal and transmission using electronic mail or a social networking service.

The event information to be notified to the user may include the information of the user who has already entered (for example, the name and account of the participating professional player) in addition to the regulation of the tournament. By doing so, the user who receives the event information can easily know whether or not the event is of interest to him.

Further, the tournament introducing means 236 also has a function of guiding the user to participate in the tournament (registration) and watch (watch) the tournament about the notified tournament. Specifically, for example, before the tournament is held, a message for inquiring the user about participation is sent, and when the user desires to participate, the user participates in the tournament (registration via the tournament proceeding means 234). ) Let me. Further, when the tournament is being held, the user is allowed to watch (view) the tournament by notifying the user of the moving image distribution URL via the disclosure means 238.

The publishing unit 238 provides the user with a unit for browsing and searching the tournament results using a general browser on the user-side terminal. Specifically, first, the disclosure unit 238 displays a menu screen for inputting search conditions, an input form, and the like on the user side terminal of the viewer (user) who has accessed the server device 2.
