Abstract

A server device includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor executes generating a list in which a privilege of which the number of accesses in a specified time period is larger than a predetermined reference value is associated with an attribute of a member who accessed the privilege more times than the predetermined reference value by reference to the memory. The processor executes estimating, when the server device has accepted access to a membership site from a user, an attribute of the user from a time of the access to the membership site or a site that the user accessed before the access to the membership site. The processor executes extracting a privilege associated with the attribute, and notifying the user of the extracted privilege.

Claims

1. A server device comprising:

a memory that stores therein a privilege accessed by a member registered with a membership site, date and time when the member accessed the privilege, and an attribute of the member in an associated manner; and

a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor executes a process comprising;

generating a list in which a privilege of which the number of accesses in a specified time period is larger than a predetermined reference value is associated with an attribute of a member who accessed the privilege more times than the predetermined reference value by reference to the memory;

estimating, when the server device has accepted access to the membership site from a user, an attribute of the user from a time of the access to the membership site or a site that the user accessed before the access to the membership site; and

extracting a privilege associated with the attribute estimated at the estimating from the list generated by the generating, and notifying the user of the extracted privilege.

2. A computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a program for causing a computer to execute an information providing process comprising:

generating a list in which a privilege of which the number of accesses in a specified time period is larger than a predetermined reference value is associated with an attribute of a member who accessed the privilege more times than the predetermined reference value by reference to a storage unit that stores therein a privilege accessed by a member registered with a membership site, date and time when the member accessed the privilege, and an attribute of the member in an associated manner;

estimating, when having accepted access to the membership site from a user, an attribute of the user from a time of the access to the membership site or a site that the user accessed before the access to the membership site; and

extracting a privilege associated with the estimated attribute from the generated list and notifying the user of the extracted privilege.

3. An information providing system comprising:

an information processing apparatus; and

a server device that is connected to the information processing apparatus via a network, wherein

the server device comprises;

a first memory that stores therein a privilege accessed by a member registered with a membership site, date and time when the member accessed the privilege, and an attribute of the member in an associated manner; and

a first processor coupled to the first memory, wherein the first processor executes a process comprising;

generating a list in which a privilege of which the number of accesses in a specified time period is larger than a predetermined reference value is associated with an attribute of a member who accessed the privilege more times than the predetermined reference value by reference to the first memory; and

transmitting the list generated by the generating to the information processing apparatus, and

the information processing apparatus comprises;

a second memory; and

a second processor coupled to the second memory, wherein the second processor executes a process comprising;

receiving the list from the server device;

estimating, when having accepted access to the membership site from a user, an attribute of the user from a time of the access to the membership site or a site that the user accessed before the access to the membership site; and

extracting a privilege associated with the attribute estimated at the estimating from the list generated at the generating, and notifying the user of the extracted privilege.
