Abstract

A program which is capable of offering a reward to a user who has registered a simple access means to a predetermined screen is disclosed. The program causes a computer to function as reception means for receiving an access request from a terminal device used by a user; determination means for determining, based on a character string contained in a URL of an access destination of the received access request, whether or not a simple access means to the URL is registered in the terminal device; and offering means for offering a reward to the user who uses the terminal device that performs the access request when the simple access means is determined to be registered.

Claims

1. A method of causing a computer containing a control unit to execute:

a reception step of receiving an access from a terminal device;

a redirection step of redirecting a first URL to a second URL when the reception step receives the access to the first URL from the terminal device; and

a reward offering step of offering a reward to a user who uses the terminal device when the reception step receives the access to the second URL from the terminal device.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the second URL is a URL which adds a predetermined character string to the first URL.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the first URL and the second URL access to the same page.

4. A recording medium storing a program to cause a computer to execute:

a reception step of receiving an access from a terminal device;

a redirection step of redirecting a first URL to a second URL when the reception step receives the access to the first URL from the terminal device; and

a reward offering step of offering a reward to a user who uses the terminal device when the reception step receives the access to the second URL from the terminal device.

5. The recording medium according to claim 4, wherein the second URL is a URL which adds a predetermined character string to the first URL.

6. The recording medium according to claim 4, wherein the first URL and the second URL access to the same page.

7. A server device provided with a control unit for performing arithmetic processing,

wherein the control unit executes to:

receive an access from a terminal device;

redirect a first URL to a second URL when the reception step receives the access to the first URL from the terminal device; and

offer a reward to a user who uses the terminal device when the reception step receives the access to the second URL from the terminal device.

8. The server device according to claim 7, wherein the second URL is a URL which adds a predetermined character string to the first URL.

9. The server device according to claim 7, wherein the first URL and the second URL access to the same page.
