Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic delivery system for insert leaflets, and in particular, a client can request the delivery of insert leaflets without using a special program or system, and can also deliver them to mobile terminals as necessary. Regarding the system

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Folded leaflets are delivered together with newspapers to newspaper readers' homes, and are often used as a familiar information source in the area where you can find out about bargain sales, events, etc. at nearby stores and supermarkets. There is.

On the other hand, with recent breakthroughs in electronic technology and communication technology, newspaper data is distributed to subscriber terminals using the Internet or the like and displayed on a display such as a CRT or printed out on paper. However, there has been proposed an electronic newspaper system capable of reading newspapers (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 08-265556 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-256556).
0-98569, JP-A-11-313191, etc.).

Further, with the introduction of electronic distribution systems for newspapers,
It has been proposed to add and synthesize the data of the folded leaflets with the data of newspaper articles and deliver them to newspaper subscribers (see Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-222542).

[0005]

However, in the electronic delivery system for insert leaflets described in the above publication, the insert leaflet printed by the client of the insert leaflet is brought to a newspaper store, and the data is taken into the terminal at the store. It is necessary, however, that many clients bring in various leaflets that they bring to newspaper stores, and in order to incorporate these into the terminals as data that is compatible with the electronic distribution system, the work and processing become complicated, and many leaflets are required. It may take some time to create the data.

[0006] On the other hand, it is possible that a plurality of clients prepare the insert leaflet in advance in the data suitable for the system, record it on an appropriate recording medium, and bring it to a newspaper store. In that case, Not only is it necessary to prepare a program or system for recording the insert leaflet in a specific data format at each of the plurality of clients, but this leads to high costs, and it is troublesome to operate the system.

Further, in the system described in the above-mentioned conventional publication, it is also described that the client sends the data of the insert leaflet to the terminal of the newspaper store using the Internet, but in this case as well, a plurality of requests are made. Mainly, it is necessary to prepare a program and system for converting leaflets into a data format suitable for the system.

Further, when the folded leaflet is viewed as a familiar information source in the area, a newspaper article may not always be necessary. In such a case, when the newspaper article and the folded leaflet are combined and distributed, a large amount of them are distributed. It takes time to find the necessary leaflets from the data.

Recently, mobile terminals (including mobile phones with a terminal function) have become widespread, and it is possible to view folded leaflets by mobile terminals. However, mobile terminals can display a larger amount of data than ordinary terminals. In many cases, the system described in the above-mentioned conventional publication cannot cope with the problem.

In view of the above problems, the present invention allows a requester for an insert leaflet to request an insert leaflet without using a special program or system, and to deliver it to a mobile terminal as necessary. It is an object to provide a distribution system.

[0011]

In view of the above, an electronic leaflet distribution system according to the present invention connects a processing server, a client side terminal and a client side terminal with a line, and the client side terminal processes the processing server. It is an electronic distribution system of insert leaflets that transmits insert leaflets data to the customer side terminal from the processing server so that the insert leaflets can be viewed on the customer side terminal. Request input style having at least a character input field for inputting characters, and a style storage means for storing the insert leaflet style for laying out the entered characters to create the insert leaflet, and the client of the insert leaflet. A desired distribution area storage means for storing the desired distribution area for the client corresponding to the client and the customer's area for receiving the insert leaflet. Customer information storage means for storing at least customer information corresponding to the customer, input style reading means for reading out and outputting the request input style from the style storage means in response to a request from the client, and the output request A request input style display means for displaying an input style, an input means for inputting characters forming a folded leaflet in the character input field of the displayed request input style, and a folded leaflet style read from the style storage means to insert the folded style. An insert leaflet creating means for creating an insert leaflet from the flyer style and the entered characters, and when the customer receiving the delivery of the insert leaflet requests, the customer information is read from the customer information storage means, and the customer information is added to the customer information. The client's included area and the desired distribution area stored in the desired distribution area storage means are the same as the client created above. And folding leaflets output means for outputting only flyer, characterized in that and a folding leaflet display means for displaying a folding leaflet which is the output.

[0012] One of the features of the present invention is that the client wishes to distribute the insert leaflet, the desired distribution area, the customer's area, the request input style and the insert leaflet style are registered in advance, and the request input style is read and displayed. Then, when the client enters the characters that make up the folded leaflet in the character input field, the folded leaflet is created from the read folded leaflet style and the entered characters, and this is distributed to the customers in the distribution desired area. It is in the point that I made it.

As a result, the client does not need a special system or program, and it is sufficient to prepare an ordinary terminal that can be connected to the processing server, for example, a personal computer, without causing an increase in cost.

Also, a request for a leaflet for insertion can be made by a very simple operation of connecting to a terminal line, for example, the Internet and inputting characters, and a client without specialized knowledge can use the system without feeling any discomfort. Compared to the case of converting the data into data and importing the data into the terminal, the data of the leaflet for folding can be easily and efficiently performed in a short time.

Furthermore, since only the leaflets that are inserted are electronically distributed, it is not necessary to search for a required leaflet from a large amount of data such as synthesized newspaper articles, and it is quick and effective as a familiar information source in the area. Can be used for.
