Description

  The present invention relates to a system for customizing information provided to a service user and a system for providing the customized information.

  Conventionally, directions to restaurants and retail stores have been provided by signboards installed in front of the station or along the road. In recent years, due to the socialization of information, while watching Web contents such as “Guru Navi” (URL: http://www.gnavi.co.jp) on mobile terminals such as mobile phones and PDAs (Personal Digital Assistance) It is possible to go to the store in response to navigation. Also in the car navigation system, it is possible to use such Web contents and guide to a store in which information is input in advance.

  In recent years, IC cards in which an extremely thin semiconductor integrated circuit (IC chip) is embedded in a cash card-sized plastic card so that information can be recorded have become widespread. The IC chip can store various information such as personal identification information, electronic money, point services for shopping streets, and point information when receiving point services related to local government benefits. And electronic money charging machines, point inquiry terminals, kiosk terminals, etc. that can read the information of such IC cards are being installed in stations, government offices, stores, etc. Proposed route guidance and advertisement information provision systems have been proposed.

  In Patent Document 1, when a user provides information corresponding to a plurality of services (applications) stored in an IC card by placing an IC card on a terminal or the like equipped with display means, the notification information Is transmitted to the information providing server, and the server retrieves the notification data (for example, notification items such as advertisement of a store providing the service) based on the notification information and transmits it to the terminal for use at the terminal. Discloses a system for displaying notification data to a person.

  While it is convenient to provide information such as advertisements using IC cards in this way, it is conceivable that services (applications) using IC cards may be diversified. Is expected to increase. In an information providing system using an IC card, information is provided based on information held in the IC card. Therefore, when the information in the IC card increases, a large amount of information is provided to the user. It is expected that information unnecessary for the user will be provided, or that it will be difficult for the user to select the information he wants to obtain.

Therefore, Patent Document 2 proposes an advertisement presenting apparatus that provides information customized according to user preferences and the like. However, specifically, the personal identification information (ID) of the IC card owned by the user is transmitted to the host server, and the host server provides the user with information such as advertisement customized based on the ID. It is not a system that provides customized information based on user input. Therefore, it cannot necessarily be said that the system provides the information intended by the user efficiently. For example, even if a user goes to a store and likes it, it is difficult to remember the name and location of the store using the system because there is no means for recording that in the system.

(5) When the user customizes the information provided by the information providing system at the payment terminal in the store.

Hereinafter, (1) to (5) will be described.
(1) At 14:00 on February 1, 2005, a user (user identification information: 123) uses the terminal of Hachioji (district identification number: 10) (terminal identification number: 1) to provide a guidance service to restaurant A When receiving.

  First, the process in the initialization (S1) of FIG. 3 is shown in FIG. First, in S41, the terminal stands by in a state where an initial screen as shown in FIG. 12 is displayed. In S42, the user follows the instruction on the initial screen and places the IC card on the identification information reading means 31 of the terminal. In step S43, the identification information reading unit 31 reads the ID of the IC card serving as the user identification information. In step S44, the terminal transmission unit 34 transmits the read user identification information and the terminal identification number to the server. Is done.

  Next, the process proceeds to the history search (S2) in FIG. This detailed processing is as shown in FIG. First, referring to the search history information table T7 from the user identification information (card ID) and the terminal identification number received by the receiving means 11 of the server in S51, whether or not information search (browsing) was performed in the same area on the same day. Is determined (S52). Since there is no information indicating that the search by the user (user identification information: 123) was performed on February 1, 2005 in the search history information table T7 in FIG. 10, the genre selection (S3 in FIG. 3) is performed. )

  The detailed process of genre selection in S3 of FIG. 3 is as shown in FIG. First, in S61, the database operation unit 14 of the server generates a list to be displayed on the terminal from the genre information table T1, and transmits the list to the terminal (terminal identification number: 1) via the transmission unit 12. The list received by the receiving means 35 of the terminal (terminal identification number: 1) in S62 is displayed by the display means 32. The display screen is as shown in FIG. 13, for example. In S63, the user selects a gourmet (genre identification number: 3). Thereafter, when the user picks up the IC card in S64, in S65, the terminal reads the ID of the IC card as the user identification information in the identification information reading means 31, and in S66, the user identification information and the terminal are transmitted from the transmission means 34. An identification number and a genre identification number are transmitted to the server. Then, the process proceeds to advertisement selection (S4) in FIG.

  Detailed processing of advertisement selection (S4) in FIG. 3 is as shown in FIG. First, in S71, it is determined whether or not the genre identification number received by the server is 1. Now, since the user designates the gourmet genre with the genre identification number 3, and the genre identification number is not 1, the process proceeds to S72. In S72, the database operation means 14 of the server first refers to the terminal information table T3 and acquires the district to which the terminal with the terminal identification number 1 belongs. Thereby, it is recognized that the terminal exists in Hachioji (district identification number: 10). Next, referring to the store information table T4 and the advertisement information table T5, the gourmet (genre identification number) of Hachioji (district identification number: 10) is obtained. : 3) In the advertisement related to 3), the advertisement deadline (EXP) is selected after 14:00 on February 1, 2005. As a result of this selection, the advertisement information selected in the advertisement information table T5 becomes two pieces of information with an advertisement information identification number (AID) of AID: 5 (4-color ramen) and AID: 8 (double points). In step S73, a list to be displayed is generated with reference to the customization information of the user. That is, stores that provide advertisement information with AID: 5 and AID: 8 in the advertisement information table T5 are stores with store identification numbers 24 and 22, and the store identification numbers in the customization information table T6 correspond to this. Absent. Therefore, this time, it is generated as it is as a display list to be displayed on the terminal. Then, in S75, the transmission means 12 sends the advertisement identification number, the store name, and the advertisement content (AC) list "5. Restaurant C. Ramen 4 color assortment 8. Restaurant A. Points double" to the terminal. The In S76, the terminal displays as shown in FIG. 14 according to the received list. It is assumed that the user selects (advertisement identification number: 8) of “point double” of restaurant A (store identification number: 22) from the list in S77. Then, in S78, the advertisement identification number: 8 and the terminal identification number: 1 are transmitted from the terminal transmission means 34 to the server, and the process proceeds to the detailed display (S5) in FIG.

  The detailed processing of the detailed display (S5) in FIG. 3 is as shown in FIG. The database operation means 14 of the server acquires the advertisement identification number: 8 to the store identification number: 22 and the service details “Eat 1000 yen and get a point for 200 yen” in S81. In S82, the store location information: 123456 is obtained by referring to the store information table T4, and the terminal location information: 100005 is obtained by referring to the terminal information table T3 based on the terminal identification number, and the map in S83. Create For map creation, for example, existing map software or the like is used, and the position information also conforms to it. In step S84, the created map, the advertisement identification number: 8, and the details of the advertisement “Eate 1000 yen and get 200 yen points” are transmitted to the terminal. In S85, based on the received map and the details of the advertisement, the terminal displays on the display means 32 as shown in FIG. 15, for example. In S86, it is assumed that the user requests “Add to bookmark” shown in FIG. This “bookmark” is a function similar to recording a specific page position in an online document such as the Web, and can be registered when the user wants to continuously search and browse advertisement information of a store. . Then, in S88, the terminal reads the card ID of the IC card, which is user identification information, and in S89, the user identification information, the advertisement identification number, the terminal identification number, and the registration type (registration type = 1 when registered in the bookmark). To the server. Then, the process proceeds to the customization process (S6) in FIG.

  The detailed process of the customization process (S6) in FIG. 3 is as shown in FIG. In S91, the database operating means 14 of the server searches the advertisement information table T5 for the advertisement information with the advertisement identification number: 8, and acquires the store identification number: 22 and the genre identification number: 3. In S92, it is searched whether there is information of user identification information: 123, store identification number: 22, genre identification number: 3 in the customization information table T6. Here, since there is no corresponding data (S93), information of user identification information: 123, store identification number: 22, genre identification number: 3, registration type: 1 is newly added to the customization information table T6 in S94. To do. If the registration type is 1 and the bookmark is a bookmark (S96), the process proceeds to S97 to search the search history information table T7 for registration of the same advertisement information. Since there is no corresponding data, information of user identification information: 123, advertisement identification number: 8, and current time (February 1, 2005, 14:01:35) is newly added to the search history information table T7. As a result of this registration, the customization information table T6 is updated as in the customization information table T8 shown in FIG. 11, and the search history information table T7 is updated as in the search history information table T9 in FIG. By updating each information table in this way, the user can easily obtain the latest advertisement information of a favorite store by referring to the bookmark, and the advertisement information browsed previously by the search history information can be obtained. It becomes easy to obtain.

  In FIG. 9, if there is corresponding data in S93, the process proceeds to S95, where the registration type of the corresponding record is updated to the received registration type, and in S96, the registration type is a negative list, that is, the user subsequently receives information. If the search history information is stored in the search history information table in S98, the search history information of the corresponding record is stored. A process of updating the registration time to the current time is performed.

  The above is the processing flow of (1). Next, (2) 14:10 on February 1, 2005 with the customization information table and the search history information table updated as T8 and T9. The advertisement information that the user (user identification information: 123) bookmarked in (1) using a terminal (terminal identification number: 2) different from the previous terminal of Hachioji (district identification number: 10) The details of the system flow when trying to redisplay the route guidance information based on the map will be described.

First, initialization (S1) of FIG. 3 is performed, but since this is the same as the processing in (1), description thereof is omitted.
Next, the history search (S2) processing is used in Hachioji (district identification number: 10) in which the terminal (terminal identification number: 2) is installed in the search history information table in S52 of FIG. When it is determined whether or not the user with the user identification number 123 has searched on the same day, the information of the advertisement identification number 8 is found in the search history information table T9 (S53). 3 is displayed (S5).

  In the detailed display (S5), in S81 of FIG. 8, the database operation means 14 of the server refers to the advertisement information table T5 based on the advertisement identification number: 8, and stores the store identification number and the advertisement information detail “1000”. Get a 200 yen point get by eating a circle. Thereafter, the processing is the same as the processing of S82 to S84 described in (1), but from the store information table T4, the location information of the store identification number: 8: 123456, and the location of the terminal identification number: 2 from the terminal information table T3 Information: 987654 is acquired, a map is created, the advertisement identification number: 8 and the details of the advertisement information “Eate 1000 yen and get 200 yen points” and the created map information to the terminal (terminal identification number: 2) Send. The terminal displays the received information as shown in FIG. FIG. 16 is different from FIG. 15 in map information.

As described above, since the user can easily acquire the advertisement information searched previously even in different terminals, it is very convenient when the user gets lost.
Now, (3) with the customized information table and the search history information table updated as T8 and T9, on February 2, 2005, the user (user identification information: 123) is genre: A case will be described in which an advertisement relating to a gourmet (genre identification number: 3) is searched with the terminal (terminal identification number: 1) of Hachioji (district identification number: 10).

First, the initialization (S1), history search (S2), and genre selection (S3) processes of FIG. 3 are performed.
In the advertisement selection (S4) of FIG. 3, it is determined whether or not the genre identification number received by the server is 1 in S71 of FIG. Since the genre identification number: 3 has been received, the process proceeds to S72. In S72, the database operation means 14 of the server first refers to the terminal information table T3 and acquires the district to which the terminal with the terminal identification number 1 belongs. Thereby, it is recognized that the terminal exists in Hachioji (district identification number: 10). Next, referring to the store information table T4 and the advertisement information table T5, the gourmet (genre identification number) of Hachioji (district identification number: 10) is obtained. : In the advertisement relating to 3), information with an advertisement deadline (EXP) after February 2, 2005 is selected. As a result of this selection, the advertisement information selected in the advertisement information table T5 becomes two pieces of information with an advertisement information identification number (AID) of AID: 5 (4-color ramen) and AID: 8 (double points). In step S73, a list to be displayed is generated with reference to the customization information of the user. That is, the stores providing these two pieces of information are stores whose store identification information is 24 and 22, and in the customization information table T8, the information of the store 22 is customized by the user of the user identification information: 123. Therefore, the list to be transmitted to the terminal is rearranged so that the displayed advertisement information is in the order of advertisement identification numbers: 8 and 5. Thereafter, the generated list is transmitted to the terminal (terminal identification number: 1) in the same manner as in the process (1) (S75), and the list received by the terminal is displayed (S76). The display screen is as shown in FIG. 17 and is displayed differently from FIG.

  As described above, if the user registers a favorite store as a bookmark, it is very convenient because an advertisement of the store registered by the user can be acquired quickly when selecting an advertisement.

  Next, (4) on February 2, 2005, a list of advertisements registered in the bookmark by the user (user identification information: 123) using the terminal (terminal identification number: 1) of Hachioji (district identification number: 10) The details of the system flow when searching for will be described.

Since the initialization (S1) and history search (S2) in FIG. 3 are the same as the processing in (1), description thereof is omitted.
In the genre selection (S3) of FIG. 3, in S61 of FIG. 6, the database operation means 14 of the server generates a list to be displayed on the terminal from the genre information table T1, and transmits to the terminal (terminal identification number: 1). 12 is transmitted. In S62, the list received by the receiving means 35 of the terminal (terminal identification number: 1) is displayed by the display means 32. The display screen is as shown in FIG. 13, for example. In S63, the user selects a bookmark (genre identification number: 1). Thereafter, when the user picks up the IC card in S64, the terminal reads the ID of the IC card as the user identification information in the identification information reading means 31 in S65, and the user identification information: 123, from the transmission means 34 in S66. Terminal identification number: 1 and genre identification number: 1 are transmitted to the server. Then, the process proceeds to advertisement selection (S4) in FIG.

  Detailed processing of the advertisement selection (S4) in FIG. 3 is as shown in FIG. First, in S71, since the server received the genre identification number: 1, the process proceeds to S74, and the advertisement information registered in the bookmark by the user at Hachioji (district identification number: 10) is stored in the customization information table T8. A list is generated from the store information table T4 and the advertisement information table T5. In other words, the customization information table T8 is narrowed down to the information whose user identification information is 123 and the registration type is bookmark: 1, and the store identification number of the customization information table T8 and the store identification number of the store information table T4 match. The store whose district identification number is 10 is searched. Then, advertisement information whose advertisement deadline (EXP) is within the expiration date is listed from the advertisement information provided by the narrowed stores. Now, in a specific example, the identification numbers (AID) of the advertisement information listed are two: AID: 7 (starting membership) and AID: 8 (double points). In step S75, the transmission means 12 sends an advertisement identification number, a store name, a list of advertisement contents (AC), specifically “7. Movie theater B. Membership start. 8. Restaurant A. Points double” to the terminal. Sent to. The terminal displays according to the received list as shown in FIG. Thus, the user can easily obtain the latest advertisement information of the store registered in the bookmark.
