[0146] Next, it is determined whether one of the displayed browsing modes is the force selected by the user.

(S67). If not selected (S67: NO), the process returns to S65 and continues to display the browsing mode setting screen. When the browsing mode is selected (S67: YES), the selected mode (setting mode) is stored in the RAM 103 for transmission to the article-related information providing server 6 (S69). Then, the process returns to the main routine of FIG.

Next, the detailed information item selection process executed in S23 of FIG. 12 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 15, first, the content number and the setting mode, for example, “001, download” stored in the RAM 103 are transmitted to the article-related information providing server 6 (S81). This is the request for the detailed information item corresponding to the content number and setting mode. Next, it is determined whether or not there is a response from the article-related information providing server 6 (S83). If there is no response (S83: NO), it is further determined whether or not the force has timed out after a predetermined time (S85), and if not, the process returns to S83 and responds again (S85: NO). Determine if there is no answer. In the case of timeout (S85: YES), the process returns to S81.

If a response is received from the article-related information providing server 6 (S83: YES), a detailed information item is received (S87). Then, the received detailed information item is stored in the RAM 103 (S89). The detailed information item received here is the content information data of the article-related information providing server 6. The contents of the detailed information item 364 as shown in FIG. 11 are stored in the database 36 and transmitted. In the above example, if the transmitted content number and setting mode are “001, download”, “2-1 whole download” and “2-2 whole content outside” are transmitted and received.

Next, the stored detailed information items are displayed on the LCD 53 (S91). Then, it is determined whether or not one of the displayed detailed information items has been selected by the user (S93). If it is not selected (S93: NO), the process returns to S91 and the display of the detailed information item selection screen is continued. When the detailed information item is selected (S93: YES), the selected detailed information item is stored in the RAM 103 for transmission to the article-related information providing server 6 (S95). For example, suppose that “2-2 all outside contents” was selected and stored from the two detailed items in the previous example. Then, the process returns to the main routine of FIG.

Next, the content acquisition processing executed in S25 of FIG. 12 will be described with reference to FIGS. First, as shown in FIG. 16, the content number and the selected item stored in the RAM 103 are transmitted to the article-related information providing server 6 (S111). For example, in the above example, "001, 2-2 outside all contents" is transmitted. This is a request for content information corresponding to the content number and the selected item. Next, it is determined whether or not there is a response from the article-related information providing server 6 (S113). If there is no response (S113: NO), it is further determined whether or not the force has timed out after a predetermined period of time (S115), and if not, the process returns to S113. It is determined again whether there is no response. In the case of timeout (S115: YES), the process returns to S111.

[0151] If there is a response from the article-related information providing server 6 (S113: YES), the content information is received (S117). Then, the received content information is stored in the RAM 103 (S119). The content information received here is stored in the content information database 36 of the article-related information providing server 6, and the content information transmitted corresponds to the content number and the selection item as shown in FIG. It is data of 365 content and 366 fee. In the above example, the transmission instruction information to the external device and the fee information related thereto are transmitted.

Next, payment processing for the acquired content is performed (S121). Here, Since it is assumed that the content that can be obtained is paid, the fee is settled. In the case of mobile phones, the mobile phone carrier often pays monthly call charges and data communication charges, so it is easy to pay in addition to the charges. In this case as well, the settlement process is performed by charging and requesting approval. In the case of using an information terminal other than the mobile phone, a configuration is conceivable in which a payment is made using a credit card or a bank account is debited in the settlement process.

When the settlement process is completed (S121), it is determined whether or not the selected information item is a purchase medium for a medium such as a magazine or the like, such as a product itself displayed in the show window T. In the case of purchasing the real thing (S123: YES), the procedure of purchasing and sending the real thing is performed (S125). Details of the physical purchase processing will be described with reference to FIG.

If it is not the purchase of the real thing (S123: NO), it is determined whether or not the setting mode is “2. Download” (S127). In the case of downloading (S127: YES), download processing is performed (S129). Details of the download process will be described with reference to FIG.

[0155] If it is not a download (S127: NO), since the table of contents information is selected as the setting mode, the table of contents information processing for acquiring the contents is performed (S131). Details of the table of contents information processing will be described with reference to FIG.

Next, details of the settlement processing executed in S121 of FIG. 16 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 17, first, fee information for helping to acquire the content is extracted from the content information stored in the RAM 103 (S140). Then, the fee is displayed, and a settlement screen for confirming the consent is displayed on the LCD 53 (S141). Next, it is determined whether the settlement has been approved (S143). If not approved (S143: NO), the process returns to S21 of the main routine in FIG. 12, and starts over from the mode setting process. If approved (S143: YES), settlement approval information is transmitted to the article-related information providing server 6 (S145). Then, it is determined whether or not there is a response from the article-related information providing server 6 (S147). If there is no response (S147: NO), the settlement information is transmitted again (S145). If there is a response (S147: YES), a screen indicating that the payment is completed is displayed on the LCD 53 (S151). Then, the process returns to the content acquisition processing routine of FIG.

Next, the actual purchase processing executed in S125 of FIG. 16 will be described with reference to FIG. . As shown in FIG. 18, first, a purchase screen displaying the product name and the destination address is displayed on the LCD 53 (S171). Then, it is determined whether or not to send to the registered address (S173). The destination address can be changed to display the home address registered in the mobile phone carrier in advance as a default value. Therefore, the user is asked to select whether or not to send to the registered address. When sending to the registered address (S173: YES), the process directly proceeds to S177, and requests the article-related information providing server 6 to send the product to the registered address. When not sending to the registered address (S173: NO), a destination address input screen is displayed on the LCD 53 (S175), and the user is requested to input a destination. Then, the destination address is transmitted to the article-related information providing server 6 to request the delivery of the product (S177). Then, it is determined whether or not there is a response from the article-related information providing server 6 (S179). If there is no response (S179: NO), it is determined whether a predetermined time has elapsed and a timeout has occurred. It is further determined whether or not there is no timeout (S181). If the timeout has not occurred (S181: NO), the process returns to S179 to determine again whether or not there is a response! In the case of a timeout (S181: YES), the process returns to S177 and requests for the delivery of the product again. If there is a response from the article-related information providing server 6 (S179: YES), a purchase completion screen is displayed on the LCD 53 (S183), and the process returns to the content acquisition processing routine of FIG. Return to the routine and end all the processing.

Next, the download processing executed in S129 of FIG. 16 will be described with reference to FIG. First, as shown in FIG. 19, it is determined whether the content information already received in S117 in FIG. 16 includes the download information and the download is completed (S20 Do detailed information selected). If the item is “2-1 download”, the content has already been transmitted as the content information from the content information database 36. If the download has been completed (S201: YES), it indicates that the download has been completed. The screen is displayed on the LCD 53 (S203), and the downloaded content is browsed on the LCD 53 (S205), and the process returns to the content acquisition processing routine of FIG. Return to the routine and end all the processing.

If the download has not been completed (S201: NO), the article-related information providing server 6 transmits the data to the external device that is not directly downloaded to the mobile phone 5. Therefore, a destination selection screen that allows the user to select either a mail address or a fax number as the destination The screen is displayed on the LCD 53 (S206). When sending to the specified e-mail address (S207: YES), an input screen for inputting the e-mail address is displayed (S209), the input is accepted, and the input address is sent to the article-related information providing server 6. The content is transmitted, and a request is made to transmit the content to the address (S211). Then, it is determined whether or not there is a response from the article-related information providing server 6 (S213). If there is no response (S213: NO), a transmission request is made again (S211). If there is a response (S213: YES), a processing completion screen is displayed on the LCD 53 (S215). Then, the process returns to the content acquisition process routine of FIG. 16, and further returns to the main routine of FIG. 12 to end all the processes.

[0160] If the fax is not sent to the mail address (S207: NO), since the fax is sent to the fax number, a screen for inputting the fax number is displayed (S217). Then, the input fax number is accepted, and a request is made to transmit the contents of the content to that number (S219). Then, it is determined whether or not there is a response from the article-related information providing server 6 (S221). If there is no response (S221: NO), a transmission request is made again (S219). If there is a response (S221: YES), a processing completion screen is displayed on the LCD 53 (S215). Then, the process returns to the content acquisition process routine of FIG. 16, and further returns to the main routine of FIG. 12 to end all the processes.

Next, the table of contents information processing executed in S131 of FIG. 16 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 20, first, it is determined whether or not the selected detailed information item has the ability to browse the summary (S241). In the case of browsing the summary (S241: YES), since the content data of the summary has already been received as the content information, it is displayed on the LCD 53 (S243). Then, the process returns to the content acquisition process routine of FIG. 16 and further returns to the main routine of FIG. 12 to end all the processes.

[0162] If the summary is not browsed (S241: NO), a part of the content is downloaded. Therefore, according to the download processing subroutine of Fig. 19, the already downloaded partial content is browsed or specified. A process of transmitting part of the contents to the received e-mail address or fax number is performed (S245). Then, the process returns to the content acquisition routine of FIG. 16, and further returns to the main routine of FIG. 12 to end all the processes.

Next, the operation of the article-related information providing server 6 will be described with reference to FIGS. To do. FIG. 24 is a flowchart of the main routine of the article-related information providing process of the article-related information providing server 6. FIG. 25 is a flowchart of a subroutine of the tag information search process performed in S309 of FIG. FIG. 26 is a flowchart of a subroutine of the detailed information item search process performed in S317 of FIG. FIG. 27 is a flowchart of a subroutine of the content information search process performed in S325 of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 24, first, it is determined whether or not there is a connection request from the mobile phone 2 (S301). If there is no connection request (S301: NO), the process repeats the determination in S301 and waits until there is a connection request. If there is a connection request (S301: YES), a line connection process is performed (S303). Then, it is determined whether or not the information transmitted from the mobile phone 2 is a request for tag information (S305). In the case of a request for tag information (S305: YES), the location ID information of the RFID tag for which the request for tag information is requested has been transmitted, and is received (S307). Next, tag information search processing for searching and extracting tag information corresponding to the place ID from the tag information database 32 is performed (S309).

[0165] Since the tag information to be transmitted to the mobile phone 2 has been extracted by the tag information search process (S309), the extracted tag information is transmitted to the mobile phone 2 (S311). Then, the process returns to S305.

On the other hand, when the information transmitted from the mobile phone 2 is not a request for tag information (S 305: NO), it is determined whether or not it is a notification of the set browsing mode (S 313). If the notification is the setting mode notification (S313: YES), the mobile phone 2 transmits information indicating the number of the content to be viewed (content number information) and information indicating the set viewing mode (setting mode information). Since it has been received, it is received (S315). For example, assume that the received content number information is 001 and the setting mode information is “2. Download”. Next, a detailed item search process for searching and extracting detailed information items of the content corresponding to the content number and the viewing mode from the content information database 36 is performed (S317).

[0167] Since the detailed information item to be transmitted to the mobile phone 2 has been extracted by the detailed information item search process (S317), the extracted detailed information item is transmitted to the mobile phone 2 (S319). Then, the process returns to S305. On the other hand, when the information transmitted from the mobile phone 2 is not a notification of the setting mode (S313: NO), it is determined whether or not the request is a content information request (S321). In the case of a request for content information (S321: YES), the mobile phone 2 transmits the content number information to be requested and the selected detailed information item (selection item information). (S323). For example, suppose that the received content number information is 001 and the selection item information is “2-2 to the outside of all contents”. Next, a content information search process for retrieving and retrieving the content number and the content of the content corresponding to the selected item {blue report} from the content {blue report database 36} is performed (S325).

[0169] Since the content information to be transmitted to the mobile phone 2 is extracted by the content information search process (S325), the extracted content information is transmitted to the mobile phone 2 (S327). Then, the process returns to S305.

On the other hand, when the information transmitted from the mobile phone 2 is not a request for content information (S321: NO), it is determined whether or not the request is for a payment process (S329). If the request is a payment processing request (S329: YES), since the mobile phone 2 has transmitted the information (payment information) for acknowledging the payment user to be settled, the mobile terminal 2 receives the information (settlement information) (S331). . Then, based on the received payment information, payment processing such as transmitting billing information to the mobile phone carrier is performed (S335). Then, when the settlement processing is completed, the settlement completion information is transmitted to the mobile phone 2 (S337). Then, return to step S305.

[0171] If the information transmitted from the mobile phone 2 is not a request for payment processing (S329: NO), it is determined whether the request is for sending or transmitting the contents information or the actual product to the outside ( S339). In the case of such a transmission-to-external-transmission request (S339: YES), the transmission destination information is transmitted from the mobile phone 2 and is received (S341). Then, based on the received information, a procedure for transmitting the content information or transmitting the product to the designated address is performed (S343). Then, when the “transmission” transmission processing is completed, the “transmission” transmission completion information is transmitted to the mobile phone 2 (S345). Then, the process returns to S305.

[0172] If the information transmitted from the mobile phone 2 is not a request for transmission to the outside "transmission" (S339: NO), other processing is executed (S347), and line disconnection processing is performed (S349). . Then, the process returns to S301.

Next, the details of the tag information search process executed in S309 of FIG. 24 will be described with reference to FIG. First, the tag information database 32 is opened (S401). In the following, we process one record at a time in the order of the initial record power. First, one record of the tag information is read (S403). Next, it is determined whether or not the location HD information received from the mobile phone 2 (FIG. 24, S307) matches the location ID of the record read in S403 (S409). If they do not match (S409: NO), return to S403 and read the next record

[0174] If the location I blue information matches the location ID of the record read out in S403 (S409: YES), the tag information of that record corresponds to the requested RFID tag 19. Therefore, the content of the tag information record is stored in the RAM 22 for transmission (S411). Then, the tag information database 32 is closed (S413), and the process returns to the server main routine of FIG.

Next, details of the detailed item search process executed in S317 of FIG. 24 will be described with reference to FIG. First, the content information database 36 is opened (S431). In the following, we process one record at a time in the order of the first record power. First, one record of the content information is read (S433). For example, in the example of the content information database 36 in FIG. 11, in the S433, the first row record “content number: 001”, “title: weekly ：”, “viewing mode: 1. table of contents information”, “detailed information item” : 11 Summary (free), "Contents: Content summary information", "Charge: 0 yen" are read.

Next, it is determined whether or not the content information record has ended, that is, whether or not the reading has not been performed in S433 (S435). If the content information record is completed (S435: YES), the content information database 36 is closed (S437). Then, the process returns to the main routine of the server shown in FIG.

If the content information record does not end (S435: NO), it is determined whether or not the content number information received in S315 of FIG. 24 matches the content number of the record read out in S433 (S435). S439). If they do not match (S439: NO), the flow returns to S433 to read the next record. [0178] If the content number information matches the content number of the record read in S433 (S439: YES), the content of that record is to be viewed, The record mode item of the record is taken out (S441). For example, in the above example, since the received content number information is 001, it matches the content number of the record in the first line. Therefore, "1. Table of contents information" which is the mode item of the record on the first line is extracted.

Next, it is determined whether or not the mode item force extracted here matches the setting mode information received in S315 of FIG. 24 (S445). If they do not match (S445: NO), the flow returns to S433 to read the next record. In the above example, since the received setting mode information is “2. Download”, it does not match the mode item “1. Table of contents information” that has just been read, so the process returns to S433 and reads the record in the second line. .

[0180] In this example, since the mode item to be extracted is "1. Table of contents information" even in the second and third rounds, the answer is NO in S445, and the record in the fourth row is processed in the fourth round. When read, since the mode item is “2. Download”, it matches the received setting mode information (S445: YES). Therefore, the content of the detailed information item of the record, “2-1 whole download”, is stored in the RAM 22 as information to be transmitted (S447). Then, the process returns to S433, where the next record is processed.

[0181] In the processing of the next round, the content number information still matches the content number of the read record (S439: YES), and the extracted mode item also matches "2. Download". (S445: YES), the content of the detailed information item of the record, "2-2 to all outside", is stored in the RAM 22 as information to be transmitted (S447). Then, the flow returns to S433 to process the next record. By the processing up to this point, “2-1 whole download 2-2 outside all contents” has been stored in the RAM 22 as detailed information items to be transmitted.

[0182] In the next round of processing, the content number information matches the content number of the read record (S439: YES), but the mode item extracted in S441 is "3. Since it does not match the mode information (S445: NO), the process returns to S433.

[0183] As described above, all records of the content information database 36 are sequentially processed, When the record is over (S435: YES), close the content information database 36

(S437), the process returns to the main routine of the server in FIG.

Next, details of the content information search processing executed in S325 of FIG. 24 will be described with reference to FIG. First, the content information database 36 is opened (S461). In the following, processing is performed one record at a time from the first record. First, one record of the content information is read (S463).

[0185] In the example of the content information database 36 in Fig. 11, the record in the first line in S463 is "Content number: 001", "Title: Weekly", "Browsing mode: 1. Table of contents information", and "Details". Information items: 1 1 Summary (free), “Contents: Content summary information”, “Fee: 0 yen” are read out.

Next, it is determined whether or not the content information record is completed, that is, whether or not the reading was not performed in S463 (S465). When the content information record ends (S465: YES), the content information database 36 is closed (S467). Then, the process returns to the main routine of the server shown in FIG.

If the content information record does not end (S465: NO), it is determined whether or not the content number information received in S323 in FIG. 24 matches the content number of the record read in S463 (S465). S469). If they do not match (S469: NO), the flow returns to S463 to read the next record.

[0188] If the content number information matches the content number of the record read in S463 (S469: YES), the content of that record is to be viewed, The detailed information item is extracted from the record of (S471). For example, in the above example, since the received content number information is 001, it matches the content number of the record on the first line. Therefore, "1-1 summary (free)" which is the detailed information item of the record on the first line is extracted.

Next, it is determined whether or not the extracted detailed information item matches the selection item information received in S323 of FIG. 24 (S475). If they do not match (S475: NO), the flow returns to S463 to read the next record. In the above example, the received selection item information is S “2-2—outside all contents”, so the mode item “11 summary (none ), The process returns to S463 and reads the record in the second line.

[0190] In this example, the detailed information item extracted in the second round processing is "1 2-part content download", and the detailed information item extracted in the third round processing is "1 3-part content". To the outside ", and the detailed information item extracted in the fourth round processing is" 2-1 whole download ", which does not match the selection item information" 2-2 to outside all contents ". , (S475: NO) o Then, return to S463 and read the record in the fifth line.

[0191] In the processing of the next round, the content number information still matches the content number of the read record (S469: YES), and the extracted detailed information item is also "2-2 to the outside of all contents". Since they coincide with each other (S475: YES), the "sending / transmission instruction information", which is the content of the content of the record, is stored in the RAM 22 as information to be transmitted (S477). Then, the process returns to S463 to perform the processing of the next record.

[0192] In the processing of the next round, the content number information matches the content number of the read record (S469: YES), but the detailed information item extracted in S471 is "3-1—buy a magazine". Yes, and does not match the selection item information (S475: NO), and returns to S463.

[0193] As described above, all records in the content information database 36 are sequentially processed. When the records are completed (S465: YES), the content information database 36 is closed (S467), and the main server of FIG. Return to routine.

[0194] As described above, according to the article-related information providing system I of the present embodiment, hanging advertisements, signboards, posters, sample advertising products in the shop window T, and the like, as well as advertisement media that are visible in the vicinity. The RFID tag read from the mobile phone 2 is sent to the goods-related information providing server that stores the corresponding information, and the consumption behavior such as extracting the necessary information and browsing it on the spot or purchasing a product is reduced. It is possible. By storing only the HD information indicating the location in the RFID tag, it is possible to store a wide range of related information in the database 36 of the article-related information providing server I, and select and provide the information desired by the user. it can.

Example 2

[0195] The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible. In addition, the same reference numerals are given to portions common to the above-described embodiment, and description thereof will be omitted. The For example, in the above embodiment, when the download is completed in S201 of the flowchart of FIG. 19, the force of displaying the information on the LCD 53 as the display device of the information terminal by the browsing process of S205 of FIG. Alternatively, the downloaded data may be stored in a removable external memory such as a card-shaped memory, and may be viewed on a terminal such as a PC having a large-screen display device.

[0196] Further, the RFID tag may be attached to each advertisement or poster that is not attached to the advertisement or poster frame. The configuration in such a case will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 28 is a system configuration diagram of an article-related information providing system I applied when an RFID tag is attached to each article. FIG. 29 is a data configuration diagram of the advertisement tag 91. FIG. 30 is a data configuration diagram of the poster tag 92. FIG. 31 is a data configuration diagram of the display tag 93. FIG. 32 is a data configuration diagram of the tag information database 32. FIG. 33 is a diagram showing an example of a tag ID display screen displayed on the LCD 53 of the mobile phone 2. As shown in FIG.

[0197] As shown in Fig. 28, in the article-related information providing system I of this application example, the advertisement tag 91, which is an RFID tag attached to each hanging advertisement 3, the RFID tag attached to each poster! The RFID tag reader 60 of the mobile phone 2 reads a poster tag 92 of the mobile phone 2 and a display tag 93 of an RFID tag attached to each displayed product in the shop window T.

As shown in FIG. 29, the advertisement information 700 stored in the advertisement tag 91 can be in two formats. First, the advertisement information 701 includes a header part 710 indicating an attribute of the advertisement information 700 and an ID section 720 for identifying the hanging advertisement 3 to which the advertisement tag 91 is attached. “A01” in the header section 710 indicates that it is advertisement information because it starts with “A”, and “01” indicates the position of the hanging advertisement 3 in the vehicle. In addition, when there are four hanging advertisements 3 installed in the same advertising space 13 on the front and back, they are denoted as “A”, “B”, “C”, and “D”. The ID section 720 is an identification number unique to the advertisement tag 91. In the case of the advertisement information 702, in addition to the header section 710 and the ID section 720, a title 730 indicating the content of the advertisement and a power are also configured. In the case of the advertisement tag 91 having the data configuration of the advertisement information 702, when reading is performed by the RF ID tag reader 60, the title can be directly displayed without displaying the ID and the user can select the title. As shown in FIG. 30, the configuration of poster information 800 stored in poster tag 92 is basically the same as advertisement information 700. Poster information 800 is also available in two formats. First, the poster information 801 includes a header section 810 indicating an attribute of the poster information 800 and an ID section 820 for identifying the poster 4 to which the poster tag 92 is attached. “S01” in the header section 810 indicates that the information starting with “S” is also poster information, and “01” indicates the serial number of the poster 4 in a specific place such as the same station premises. . The ID section 820 is an identification number unique to the poster tag 92. In the case of poster information 802, in addition to the header section 810 and the ID section 820, a title 830 indicating the content of the poster and power are also configured. In the case of the poster tag 92 having the data structure of the poster information 802, when reading is performed by the RFID tag reader 60, the title can be directly displayed without the ID being displayed and the user can select the title.

As shown in FIG. 31, the configuration of display information 900 stored in display tag 93 is basically the same as advertisement information 700 and poster information 800. Display information 900 can also be in two formats. First, in the case of the display information 901, a header 910 indicating the attribute of the display information 900, and an ID section 920 for identifying a display product with the display tag 93 are also configured. “W01” in the header section 910 indicates that the information starting with “W” is also display information, and “01” indicates a serial number in the same show window T. The ID section 920 is an identification number unique to the display tag 93. In the case of the display information 902, it is composed of a header section 910 and an ID section 920, and a title 930 indicating the content of the product. In the case of the display tag 93 having the data configuration of the display information 902, when reading is performed by the RFID tag reader 60, the title is directly displayed without displaying the ID, and the user can select the title.

Next, as shown in FIG. 32, the tag information database 32 of the present modification is configured as a set of tag information records for identifying the RFID tag 19, and a record for uniquely identifying each record. No. 321, Advertising information 700, Poster information 800, Display information 900 0 Tag ID 322 which is information of each ID part, Installation location information 323, Content number 324 which is the number of the content corresponding to the tag ID, Title of each content Is the title of 325 Each item is registered. The installation location information 323 is divided into installation location information 3231, installation location information 3232, installation location information 3233, and installation location information 3234, and the installation location information 3231 indicates the line name in the case of advertising location information 400. In the case of posting location information 500, the station name is registered, and in the case of exhibition location information 600, the store name is registered. In addition, the installation location information 3232 includes the train number in the case of the advertisement location information 400, and the location power in the station premises of the bulletin frame in the case of the posting location information 500, and The location of show window T is registered. In addition, in the installation location information 3233, in the case of the advertisement location information 400, the number of the vehicle is displayed. In the case of the exhibition location information 600, the type of the mannequin or the display in the shop window T is registered. Also, in the installation location information 3234, the number of the advertising space 13 is registered in the case of the advertisement location information 400. Also, in the case of this modification, since each RFID tag is attached to each of the articles, the corresponding content is always one, and the content number and title of 1 are registered in each record. ing.

[0202] Next, the operation of the terminal device according to the present modification will be described with reference to Fig. 12. Only the portions different from the above-described embodiment will be described. In the vicinity of T, a scan wave is transmitted to read information from the RFID tag 19 (Sl). If there is a response from the RFID tag 19 (S3: YES), a response wave is received (S7). Here, in this modified example, a response radio wave including a tag ID for identifying each tag is received instead of the place ID. Therefore, in the case of the present modified example, the tag ID may be read instead of the place ID in the subsequent flowcharts. The received radio wave power also separates the tag I and blue information (S9), stores it in the RAM 103 (S11), and displays the location ID on the LCD 53 as shown in FIG. 33 (S13).

[0203] The tag ID is the content of the advertisement information 700, the poster information 800, and the display information 900 read from the respective RFID tags 19 of the advertisement tag 91, the poster tag 92, and the display tag 93. If a plurality of RFID tags 19 exist near the mobile phone 2 and are within the reading range of the RFID tag reader, a plurality of tag IDs are displayed. For example, in the example of Fig. 33, the user is reading in the vicinity of the hanging advertisement 3 in the train, and as a result of the reading, the advertisement of the advertisement tag 91 attached to the four advertisements suspended in the advertisement space 13 of No. 15 Information 700 is read and the tag IDs are "A1526458815", "B1535226543", "C1546798321", " D1555679088 "is displayed. The example of FIG. 33 shows a case of a data configuration of the format of the advertisement information 701 not including a title.

[0204] In the case of the advertisement information 702 including the title, when the response radio wave is received (S7) and the tag information is separated (S9), the title information can also be obtained. The title can be displayed as shown to prompt the user to select. The user has more clues to select than displaying the tag ID, making it easier to understand.

[0205] Other processes can be performed in the same manner as in the above-described embodiment.

FIG. 16 is a flowchart of a subroutine of the content acquisition process performed in S25 of FIG. FIG. 17 is a flowchart of a subroutine of the settlement process performed in S121 of FIG. FIG. 18 is a flowchart of a subroutine of the actual purchase process performed in S125 of FIG. FIG. 19 is a flowchart of a subroutine of the download process performed in S129 of FIG. FIG. 20 is a flowchart of a subroutine of table of contents information processing performed in S131 of FIG. FIG. 40 is a diagram showing an example of a location ID display screen displayed on the LCD 53 of the mobile phone 2. As shown in FIG. FIG. 22 described above is a diagram illustrating an example of a title display screen displayed on the LCD 53 of the mobile phone 2 of the present embodiment. FIG. 23 described above is a diagram illustrating an example of a browse mode selection screen displayed on the LCD 53 of the mobile phone 2 of the present embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 39, the mobile phone 2 first transmits a scan radio wave near the advertisement 3 in order to read information from the RFID tag 19 (Sl). Then, it is determined whether or not a response has been received from the RFID tag 9 (S3). If there is no response (S3: NO), it is further determined whether or not the force has timed out after a predetermined time (S5), and if not, the process returns to S3 and returns to S3. It is determined whether there is no response. In the case of timeout (S5: YES), the process returns to S1 and transmits the scan radio wave again.

[0224] If there is a response from the RFID tag 19 (S3: YES), a response radio wave is received (S7).

The received radio wave power also separates the location HD information (S9), stores it in the RAM 103 (S11), and displays the location ID on the LCD 53 as shown in FIG. 40 (S13). The place ID is the content of the advertisement place information 400 read from the RF ID tag 9. Near mobile phone 2 When a plurality of RFID tags 9 exist and are within the reading range of the RFID tag reader 60, a plurality of location IDs are displayed. By displaying the location ID, the user can select the target RFID tag 19 for which the user wants to obtain the related information. In the example of Fig. 40, the user is reading near the advertisement 3 in the train, and as a result of the reading, the advertisement location information 400 of the RFID tag 19 of the 15th advertisement space and the 16th advertisement space is read, and the advertisement is read. “15x26458815” and “16x35226543” representing the frame numbers are displayed.

Next, it is determined whether or not the displayed place ID is a force selected by the user (S15).

In accordance with the display on the LCD 53, the user selects the advertisement space number as the place ID where the user wants to obtain the relevant information by using the determination button 56. If not selected (S15: NO), the process returns to S13 to continue displaying the advertising space number. When the advertisement space number is selected (S15: YES), the advertisement server is connected to the advertisement information management server 66 (S17). Then, a tag information receiving process is performed to transmit the location If blue report corresponding to the selected advertisement space number to the advertisement information management server 66 to receive detailed tag information (S19). The details of the tag information receiving process are the same as those shown in FIG.

When the tag information receiving process is completed (S19), a mode setting process for setting a mode for browsing the content is performed based on the received tag information (S21). Details of the mode setting process are the same as those shown in FIG. In this mode setting process, the content titles “Weekly X” and “Movie” corresponding to the previously selected “15x26458815” are displayed on the LCD 53 as shown in FIG.

[0227] When the mode setting process is completed (S21), next, the setting mode is transmitted to the advertisement information management server 66, and the detailed information item of the content according to the mode is acquired from the advertisement information management server 66. Then, a detailed information item selection process for the user to select is performed (S23). The detailed information item selection process is the same as that shown in FIG.

[0228] When the detailed information item selection process is completed (S23), a content acquisition process (S25) for acquiring content from the advertisement information management server 66 is executed according to the selected detailed information item, and thereafter, a process related to the RFID tag 9 is performed. To end. The details of the content acquisition processing are the same as those shown in FIGS. At S25 in Fig. 39 The content acquisition processing to be executed is also the same as that shown in FIGS.

In FIG. 16, a response is received from the advertisement information management server 66 (S113: YES), and the content information is received (S117). Then, when the received content information is stored in the RAM 103 (S119). As shown in FIG. 37, it is data of content number 365 and fee 366 corresponding to the content number and the selected item. In the above example, since the transmission instruction information to the external device and the fee information to help the transmission are transmitted, the payment processing for the acquired content is performed (S121). The details of this settlement process are the same as those shown in FIG. 17 described above, and thus description thereof will be omitted.

[0230] When the settlement process is completed (S121), it is determined whether or not the selected information item has the purchasing power of a medium such as a magazine or the actual product such as the product itself advertised (S123). In this case (S123: YES), a procedure for purchasing and sending the real thing is performed (S125). The details of the actual purchase process are the same as those shown in FIG. However, if the purchase is not the actual purchase (S123: NO), it is determined whether or not the setting mode is “2. Download” (S127). If the download mode is the download (S127: YES), the download process is performed. Is performed (S129). The details of the download process are the same as those shown in FIG.

[0231] If the download is not the above (S127: NO), since the table of contents information is selected as the setting mode, the table of contents information processing for acquiring the contents is performed (S131), and the process proceeds to the main routine of FIG. Return. The details of the table of contents information processing are the same as those shown in FIG.

Next, the operation of the advertisement information management server 66 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 41 is a flowchart of the main routine of the advertisement information providing process of the advertisement information management server 66. The flowchart of the subroutine of the tag information search process performed in S309 is the same as that of FIG. 25 described above, and the flowchart of the subroutine of the detailed information item search process performed in S317 is the same as that of FIG. 26 described above, and is performed in S325 thereof. The flowchart of the subroutine of the content information search processing is the same as that in FIG. 27 described above, and thus the description is omitted. FIG. 42 shows the history information processing performed by the advertisement information management server 66. It is a flowchart of a process.

FIG. 41 is different from FIG. 24 described above in that S351 is provided, and the other is the same as FIG. 24, so only the differences will be described. That is, in S351, if the information transmitted from the mobile phone 2 is not a “send to outside” transmission request (S339: NO), other processing is executed (S347), and line disconnection processing is performed. After (S349), the location information, the content number information, the setting mode information, the selection item information, and the access time of the connection request processed so far are stored in the history information database. As a result, the access record is stored and can be used in the history information processing described later.

Next, the history information processing performed by the advertisement information management server 66 will be described with reference to FIG. In the present embodiment, the force history information database 38 is assumed to have a form in which several menus are prepared as a processing process of the history information. Since the force history information database 38 has a known database configuration, it is not limited to this. It can be processed freely.

[0235] First, it is determined whether or not the access number counting menu for each content is selected (S48 Do If the access number counting for each content (S481: YES), access is performed by sequentially specifying the content number). Specifically, the number of accesses is counted by counting the number of records in which the content number item 383 of the history information database 38 matches the designated content number (S483). It is determined whether or not the count processing has been completed for each number (S485), and for all contents, when the processing has been completed (S485: YES), the result is displayed on the display 24 (S505), and the history information processing is performed. If the processing has not been completed yet (S485: NO), the flow returns to S483, and the access number is counted for the next designated content number!

[0236] By the above processing, for example, the number of accesses for each content number in one advertisement medium is displayed. Therefore, by displaying the access ranking for each content in the advertisement medium in a graph or the like, the user can easily view each content. Understand advertising effectiveness.

If the access number is not counted for each content (S481: NO), it is determined whether or not the access number for the number of advertisements 3 is counted (S487). Usually, a plurality of advertisements 3 of the same content are displayed on various vehicles and the like, so this is a menu for analyzing the number of accesses for each one. versus If the number of accesses to the number of advertisements is counted (S487: YES), the number of location tag IDs of records whose content number item 383 of the history information database 38 matches the designated content number is counted (S489). Next, the number of accesses is counted by counting the number of records in which the content number item 383 matches the designated content number (S491). Then, the number of accesses determined in S491 is divided by the number of place tag IDs determined in S489 (S493). This gives the average number of accesses per location. Then, it is determined whether or not the number of accesses for each number of advertisements has been determined for all the content numbers (S495). When the processing is completed for all contents (S495: YES), the results are displayed as a list on the display 24 (S505), and the history information management processing ends. If it has not been completed yet (S495: NO), the flow returns to S489 to perform processing for obtaining the number of accesses for the next designated content number for each number of advertisements.

[0238] From the above, for example, first, the number of advertising spaces displaying advertisement media for the same content is obtained, and then the total number of accesses to the content is obtained. By dividing by the number of slots, the average number of accesses per advertisement for each content is obtained, and the results are displayed as a list. Therefore, it is possible to distinguish between a large number of advertisements and therefore many accesses, and whether the content is very popular and a large number of accesses. Also, since a plurality of content numbers can be specified, it is possible to grasp the number of accesses between those contents in comparison.

[0239] On the other hand, if the menu is not a menu for obtaining the number of accesses for each number of advertisements (S487: NO), it is determined whether or not the menu is powerful compared to the number of accesses for each advertisement place (S497). If the number of accesses is for each location (S497: YES), a record having a location ID on the route to be extracted is extracted by checking with the tag information database 32 (S499). Then, the total number of accesses to the location ID is obtained (S501). Since the number of accesses for each route has been obtained as described above, the result is displayed on the display 24 (S505), and the history information management process ends.

[0240] In the above processing, the number of accesses for each designated line is extracted, for example, the number of accesses is counted for each designated advertising space in a train, or the number of accesses is counted for each station. Then, it is possible to grasp the advertising effect for each place or station in the train. it can.

[0241] If the number of accesses is not a comparison for each place (S497: NO), other specified processing specified by the user is executed (S503), and the result is displayed on the display 24 (S505), and the history information is displayed. The processing is ended. As other processing, for example, processing such as counting the number of accesses according to the time period, comparing the value of the advertising place from the number of accesses and the access time for the same content! .

[0242] As described above, according to the advertisement information management system II of the present embodiment, the RFID tag 19 attached to the advertisement 3 is read from the mobile phone 2, and the corresponding information is stored. It is possible to request the server 66 to retrieve necessary information and browse it on the spot, or to purchase goods, and to perform consumption behavior. The history of requests for such advertisement information is stored in the advertisement information management server 66, and the advertiser can process the history information and analyze and verify the advertising effect, and can develop the next product or It can be used as a reference for advertisements.

[0243] In the above embodiment, the CPU 101 of the mobile phone 2 that transmits the content number and the selection item in S111 of the above-described flowchart of Fig. 16 functions as the advertisement information requesting unit of the present invention. The CPU 101 of the mobile phone 2 that executes the content information receiving process in S117 of the flowchart in FIG. 16 functions as the advertisement information receiving unit of the present invention. Also, the CPU 20 of the advertisement information management server 66 that receives the content number information and the setting mode information in S315 of the flowchart in FIG. 41 and receives the selection item information in S323 functions as a request receiving unit of the present invention. In addition, the CPU 20 of the advertisement information management server 66 that executes the detailed information item search processing in S317 of the flowchart in FIG. 41 and executes the content information search processing in S325 functions as the advertisement information extraction unit of the present invention. Also, the CPU 20 of the advertisement information management server 66 that transmits detailed information items in S319 of the flowchart of FIG. 41 and transmits content information in S327 functions as an advertisement information transmission unit of the present invention. Also, the CPU 20 of the advertisement information management server 66 that executes the history information processing of the flowchart in FIG. 42 functions as the history information processing means of the present invention.

And a node disk device 530 storing programs executed by the CPU 520 and various data.

Next, a history information transmission process executed by the advertisement information management server 66 will be described with reference to FIG. First, it is determined whether the connection has been requested by the management terminal 5 (S521). If there is no connection request (S521: NO), repeat S521 and wait until a connection request is made. If there is a connection request (S521: YES), a history information request is received from the management terminal 5 (S522). The history information request received here includes extraction conditions for the requested history information, such as the access date and time period and the designation of the location. Is extracted from the history information database 38 (S523). Since the history information database 38 has a known database configuration, desired data can be extracted by a known method. Next, the history information extracted in S523 is transmitted to the management terminal 5 (S525). Then, the line with the management terminal 5 is disconnected (S527), and the process ends.

Next, the processing of the management terminal 5 will be described with reference to FIG. First, it is determined whether or not the transmission of the history information is requested to the advertisement information management server 66 (S540). If the history information is not requested (S540: NO), the flow proceeds to S557 to determine whether or not to process the history information. If history information is requested (S540: YES), a line connection request is transmitted to the advertisement information management server 66 (S541). Then, it is determined whether Sano responded or not (S543). If there is no response (S543: NO), it is further determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed and a time-out has occurred (S545). If no time-out has occurred (S545: NO), the process returns to S543. It is determined again whether there is no response. In the case of timeout (S545: YES), the process returns to S541 and sends a line connection request to the advertisement information management server 66 again.

[0249] If there is a response from the advertisement information management server 66 (S543: YES), it requests the advertisement information management server 66 to transmit history information (S547). In this case, the advertisement information management server 66 may be requested to transmit all the history information stored in the history information database 38, and various conditions (access period designation, advertisement (3) location specification, advertisement content specification, etc.) and request to transmit filtered history information.

Next, it is determined whether or not there is a response from Sano (S549). If there is no response (S549: NO), it is further determined whether a predetermined time has elapsed and a timeout has occurred (S551). If no timeout has occurred (S551: NO), the process returns to S549 and returns again. Determine if there is no response. In the case of timeout (S551: YES), the process returns to S547 and requests the advertisement information management server 66 again to transmit history information.

[0251] If there is a response from the advertisement information management server 66 (S549: YES), the advertisement information management server 66 receives the history information searched and transmitted from the history information database 38 (S553). Then, the received history information is stored in the RAM 22 or the hard disk device 530 (S555). Next, it is determined whether or not the received and stored history information is to be processed (S55). 7). The same applies to the case where history information is not requested (S540: NO). When only processing is performed without requesting history information, the history information previously received and stored in the hard disk device 530 is processed.

When the history information is processed (S557: YES), the process proceeds to the history information management process (S559). Details of the history information processing are the same as those in the case of executing the history information processing in the advertisement information management server 66 in the above-described embodiment (FIG. 42), and thus description thereof will be omitted. If the processing of the history information is not performed (S557: NO), the entire process ends.

As described above, according to the advertisement information management system III of the present modified example, the RFID tag 19 attached to the advertisement 3 is read from the mobile phone 2 and corresponding thereto, as in the above-described embodiment. A request can be made to the advertisement information management server 66 that stores the information, and necessary information can be taken out and viewed on the spot, or a consumer can purchase the product. The history of requests for such advertisement information is stored in the advertisement information management server 66. Further, the advertiser can use the management terminal 5 to receive necessary history information from the advertisement information management server 66, process it, and analyze and verify the advertisement effect. It can be used as a reference for advertising.

[0254] In the above embodiment, the CPU 20 of the advertisement information management server 66 that executes the history information transmission process of the flowchart of Fig. 43 functions as the history information transmission unit of the present invention. Further, the CPU 520 of the management terminal 5 that requests the advertisement information management server 66 to transmit history information in S547 of FIG. 46 is a history information request unit of the present invention.

Next, with reference to FIG. 49 and FIG. 51, the data configuration of various databases provided in the hard disk device 30 of the advertisement information management server 66 of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 49 is a conceptual diagram of the data configuration of the position information database 33. Figure 50 shows the advertising information FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram of a data configuration of a database 35. FIG. 51 is a conceptual diagram of the data configuration of the history information database 38.

[0261] As shown in FIG. 49, the location information database 33 is configured as a set of location information records for specifying the current location of a medium such as the advertising space 13 to which the location identifier 9i is attached. Location ID 321 indicating the contents of 9i, line name 322 indicating the name of the installed line, vehicle name 323 identifying the installed vehicle, running time 324, current position 325 indicating the current position according to the running time 325 Each item is registered.

Next, as shown in FIG. 50, the advertisement information database 35 is configured as an aggregate of advertisement information records corresponding to the advertisement identifier 10i, and each record (row) includes an advertisement ID 361 and an advertisement name 362. , Advertisement time 363, advertisement position 364, and detailed information 365. The advertisement ID 361 stores an ID corresponding to the advertisement identifier 10i attached to the advertisement 3, and the advertisement name 362 stores an advertisement name corresponding to the advertisement ID. In the advertisement time 363, a provision time that is a condition when the detailed information to be provided is changed depending on the time when the detailed advertisement information is requested is stored. For example, detailed information provided in all hours is stored in ALL, detailed information provided in the morning is stored in AM, and detailed information provided in the afternoon is stored in PM. In the advertisement position 364, a position serving as a condition when changing the detailed information to be provided according to the current position of the advertisement 3 for which the advertisement detailed information has been requested is stored. For example, “ALL” is stored in the detailed information provided for advertisements in all places, and “Tokyo” is stored in the detailed information provided when the advertisement is located in Tokyo. The detailed information 365 stores the contents of the detailed advertisement information distributed to the mobile phone 2. Since the distribution information is selected according to the advertisement time and the advertisement position, the detailed information is divided and stored according to the advertisement time and the advertisement position. Here, the information 117 preferably includes information on stores along the line, advertisement information for sale, time service information, and the like.

[0263] Next, the history information database 38 shown in Fig. 51 stores the history when the mobile phone 2 receives a line connection request, performs the requested processing, terminates all processing and disconnects the line. Is stored. In the history information database 38, the access date / time 381, which is the date / time when the line connection request was made, and the location I indicating the transmitted location identifier 9i Each item of the advertisement B 382, the advertisement indicating the advertisement identifier 10i, the advertisement I 383, and the distribution information 384 transmitted to the mobile phone 2 are stored.

Next, the operation of the advertising information management system IV of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 52 to 57. First, the operation of the mobile phone 2 will be described using FIG. 52 and FIG. FIG. 52 is a flowchart of a main routine relating to the acquisition of advertisement information in mobile phone 2. FIG. 53 is a diagram showing an example of an ID input screen displayed on the LCD 53 of the mobile phone 2. As shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 52, in the mobile phone 2, first, it is determined whether or not the input of the identifier (ID) has been instructed by the operator (S701). If the ID is not input (S701: NO), another process of the mobile phone 2 is executed (S703), and the process is terminated. In the case of inputting an ID (S701: YES), an ID input screen as shown in FIG. 53 is displayed, and the operator visually reads the place identifier 9i and the advertisement identifier 10i, and enters the place ID and the advertisement ID fields, respectively. Is prompted for input (S705). Then, it is determined whether or not the input has been completed (S707). If the input has not been completed (S707: NO), the process returns to S5 to continuously receive the input. When the input is completed (S707: YES), the connection to the advertisement information management server 66 is made (S709). Then, the input location HD information and advertisement HD information are transmitted to the advertisement information management server 66 (S711). This is a request for distribution of detailed information to the advertisement information management server 66.

Next, it is determined whether or not a response has been received from the advertisement information management server 66 (S713). If there is no response (S713: NO), it is further determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed and a timeout has occurred (S715). If no timeout has occurred (S715: NO), the process returns to S13 and returns a response again. Determine if there is any. In the case of timeout (S715: YES), the process returns to S711 and transmits the location I green report and the advertisement I green report to the advertisement information management server 66 again.

If a response is received from the advertisement information management server 66 (S713: YES), the advertisement information management server 66 receives the distribution information searched and transmitted from the advertisement information database 35 (S717). Then, the received distribution information is stored in the RAM 103 (S719). Next, the received and stored distribution information is displayed on the LCD 53 (S721). Since the detailed information acquisition processing has been completed, the main routine of the mobile phone 2 ends.

Next, the operation of the advertisement information management server 66 will be described with reference to FIGS. . FIG. 54 is a flowchart of the main routine of the distribution information providing process of the advertisement information management server 66. FIG. 55 is a flowchart of a subroutine of the position information search process performed in S759 of FIG. FIG. 56 is a subroutine flowchart of the distribution information extraction processing performed in S61 of FIG. FIG. 57 is a flowchart of a sub-routine of the history information processing performed in S771 of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 54, first, it is determined whether or not there is a connection request from the mobile phone 2 (S751). If there is no connection request (S751: NO), the process proceeds to S69, and it is determined whether or not to execute the processing of the stored history information. If there is a connection request (S751: YES), a line connection process is performed (S753). Then, it is determined whether or not the information transmission request transmitted from the mobile phone 2 is present (S755). If it is not a distribution request (S755: NO), the line is disconnected (S765).

[0270] In the case of a distribution request (S755: YES), the location I and the advertisement I and the green are transmitted from the mobile phone 2, and are received (S757). Next, position information search processing for searching the current position of the advertisement corresponding to the received place ID from the position information database 33 is performed (S759). Details of the position information search processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

[0271] After the current position of the advertisement 3 can be ascertained by the position information search process (S759), the distribution information extraction process is then performed to extract the advertisement information received in S57 and the detailed information of the advertisement corresponding to the current position. (S761). Details of the distribution information extraction processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

[0272] When the distribution information to be transmitted to the mobile phone 2 is extracted by the distribution information extraction process (S761), the distribution information is transmitted to the mobile phone 2 (S763). Then, the line to the mobile phone 2 is disconnected (S765). Next, the location HD information, advertisement HD information, access time, and distribution information subjected to the above processing are stored in the history information database 38 (S767).

Next, it is determined whether or not to execute the history information processing stored in the history information database 38 (S769). If the history information processing is not to be performed (S769: NO), the process returns to S51 and waits for a connection request from the mobile phone 2. If history information processing is to be performed (S769: YES), history information processing is performed (S771). The details of the history information processing will be described later with reference to FIG. When the history information processing (S771) ends, the flow returns to S751 to wait for a connection request from the mobile phone 2.

Next, the position information search process performed in S759 of FIG. 54 will be described with reference to FIG. First, the location information database 33 (see FIG. 49) is opened (S781). In the following, one record is processed in the order of the first record power. First, one record of the position information is read (S783). Next, it is determined whether or not the location HD information received from the mobile phone 2 (FIG. 54, S757) is the same as the location ID of the record read in S783 (S785). If they do not match (S785: NO), the flow returns to S783 to read the next record.

[0276] If the location HD information matches the location ID of the record read out in S783 (S785: YES), the location information of that record corresponds to the location identifier 9i from which it was sent. Next, the record power also extracts the content of the travel time item 324 (S787). Then, it is determined whether or not the access time at which the distribution request was made from the mobile phone 2 is included in the travel time range (S789). If the access time is not included in the range of the travel time (S789: NO), the process returns to S787 and extracts the content of the travel time item 324 of the next record. If the access time is included in the travel time range (S789: YES), the contents of the position item 325 of the record are stored in the RAM 22 (S791). Then, the position information database 33 is closed (S793), and the process returns to the main routine of the advertisement information management server 66 in FIG. For example, if the location HD information is “001” and the access time is 10:30, the location ID matches in the first record (S785: YES), but the retrieved traveling time “9: 00—10: 00” Does not include 10:30 which is the access time! /, So (S789: NO), it moves to the next record. In the next record, the location ID matches (S785: YES) and the access time is included in the travel time “10: 00—11: 00” (S789: YES). "11" is stored as the current position of the target advertisement (S91).

Next, details of the distribution information extraction processing performed in S761 of FIG. 54 will be described with reference to FIG. First, the advertisement detailed information database 36 (see FIG. 50) is opened (S801). In the following, processing is performed one record at a time from the first record. First, one record of the advertisement information is read (S803). Next, the end of the advertising information record, ie, S80 It is determined whether or not the reading is performed in 3 (S805). When the advertisement information record is completed (S805: YES), the advertisement detailed information database 36 is closed (S807). Then, the process returns to the main routine of the advertisement information management server 66 in FIG.

[0278] If the advertisement information record is not the end (S805: NO), it is determined whether or not the advertisement ID received from the mobile phone 2 matches the advertisement ID of the record read by the advertisement HD information power S803 (Fig. 54, S757). Is determined (S809). If they do not match (S809: NO), the flow returns to S803 to read the next record.

[0279] If the advertisement HD information matches the advertisement ID of the record read out in S803 (S809: YES), the advertisement information of that record is that of the requested advertisement. The advertisement name is extracted from the record that is present (S811). Next, the advertisement time is extracted from the read record (S813). For example, in the example of the advertisement information database 35 of FIG. 50, in the first processing, the advertisement time “ALL” is read. Next, it is determined whether or not this record is the record at the end of the advertisement time item (S815).

[0280] If it is not the end of the advertising time item (S815: NO), it is determined whether or not the access time at which the distribution request was issued from the mobile phone 2 falls within the advertising time condition read out in S113 (S815). S817). For example, in the above example, since the read advertisement time is “ALL”, it is within the advertisement time regardless of the current time (S817: YES), and the information of the detailed information item 365 in the record currently being processed is distributed. It is stored as information (S819). In the above example, information 1 is stored. Then, the process returns to S813.

[0281] In the second process, the advertisement time "AM" of the record on the next row is read (S813), and since the advertisement time item is not the end yet (S815: NO), the access time and the read advertisement time " AM ". For example, if the access time is 10:30, it is within the time (S817: YES), so the content of the detailed information item 365 of this record is added to the distribution information and stored (S819). That is, information 2 is added after information 1. Then, the process returns to S81 3.

[0282] In the third process, the advertisement time "PM" of the record on the next line is read (S813), and since the advertisement time item is not the end yet (S815: NO), the access time is read as 10:30. Compare the advertising time “PM”, and since it is not within the time (S817: NO), S8 Return to 13.

[0283] In the fourth process, the record on the next line has no information stored in the advertisement time, so it cannot be read (S813), and the end of the advertisement time item is reached (S815: YES). Next, the record position currently being processed also extracts the advertisement position (S821). In the example of FIG. 50, the advertisement position “ALL” is read.

Next, it is determined whether or not the advertisement position item has ended (S823). If it is not the end of the advertisement position item (S823: NO), it is determined whether or not the current position of the advertisement 3 extracted in the position information search processing and stored in the RAM 22 satisfies the advertisement position condition read out in S821. (S825). The record currently being processed satisfies the condition regardless of the installation position because the advertisement position condition is “ALL” (S825: YES), so the information of the detailed information item 365 in the record currently being processed is transmitted. The distribution information to be added is stored in the RAM 22 (S827). Here, information 4 is stored. Then, the process returns to S821.

[0285] In the second process, the advertisement position "Chiba" of the record on the next line is read (S821), and it is not the end of the advertisement position item yet (S823: NO). The current position of advertisement 3 is compared with the read advertisement position condition “Chiba”. In the above example, since the current position stored in RAM22 is Kanagawa, the condition is not satisfied (S825: NO). Return to

[0286] In the third process, the advertisement position "Kanagawa" of the record on the next line is read (S821), and it is not the end of the advertisement position item yet (S823: NO), so the advertisement stored in RAM22! 3 is compared with the read advertisement position condition "Kanagawa". In the above example, the current position stored in the RAM 22 is Kanagawa, which satisfies the condition (S825: YES). The content of the detailed information item 365 is added to the distribution information and stored (S827). Here, information 6 is stored. Then, the process returns to S821.

[0287] In the fourth processing, the record on the next line has no information stored in the advertisement position, so that the information cannot be read (S821), and the end of the advertisement position item has been reached (S823: YES). The advertisement information database 35 is closed (S829), and the process returns to the main routine in FIG. With the above processing, in this example, information 1, information 2, information 4, and information 6 are prepared as distribution information to be transmitted to the mobile phone 2. Next, the history information management process performed in S771 in FIG. 54 will be described with reference to FIG. In the present embodiment, the force history information database 38 is assumed to have a form in which several menus are prepared for processing the history information. Since the history information database 38 is a well-known database configuration, it is not limited to this. You can do it.

First, it is determined whether or not the access number counting menu for each advertisement ID has been selected (S841). If the number of accesses per advertisement ID is counted (S841: YES), the number of accesses is counted by sequentially specifying the advertisement ID numbers. Specifically, the number of accesses is counted by counting the number of records in which the advertisement ID number item 383 of the history information database 38 matches the designated advertisement ID number (S843). Then, it is determined whether or not the count processing has been completed for all the advertisement ID numbers (S845). When the processing has been completed for all the advertisement IDs (S845: YES), the processing result is displayed (S861), the history information management processing ends, and the process returns to the main routine in FIG. If it has not been completed yet (S845: NO), the flow returns to S843, and the number of accesses is counted for the next designated advertisement ID number!

On the other hand, if the access number is not counted for each advertisement ID (S841: NO), it is determined whether or not the access number counting menu for each distribution information is selected (S847). If the number of accesses per distribution information is counted (S847: YES), the distribution information is sequentially specified and the access number counting process is executed. Specifically, the number of accesses is counted by counting the number of records for which the distribution information item 384 of the history information database 38 matches the designated distribution information (S849). Then, it is determined whether or not the counting process has been completed for all pieces of distribution information (S851). When all the distribution information has been completed (S851: YES), the processing result is displayed (S861), the history information management process ends, and the process returns to the main routine in FIG. If it has not been completed yet (S851: NO), the flow returns to S849, and the access number is counted for the next distribution information.

If the number of accesses is not a count for each distribution information (S847: NO), it is determined whether or not the menu is capable of comparing with the number of accesses for each advertisement place (S853). If the number of accesses is for each location (S853: YES), a record having a location ID on the route to be extracted is extracted by collating with the location information database 33 (S855). Then, the total number of accesses to the place ID is obtained (S157). After that, the processing result is displayed (S861) and the history information The machining processing ends, and the process returns to the main routine in FIG.

[0292] If the number of accesses is not a comparison for each location (S853: NO), the other specified process specified by the user is executed (S859), the processing result is displayed (S861), and the history information processing is performed. Then, the process returns to the main routine in FIG. Other processes that can be considered include, for example, counting the number of accesses over time, comparing the number of accesses for each location ID for the same content, and comparing the value of the advertising location from the access time. Can be

As described above, according to the advertisement information management system IV of the present embodiment, the place identifier 9i attached to the advertisement 3 and the advertisement identifier 10i attached to the advertisement space 13 are input from the mobile phone 2. Then, a request is made to the advertisement information management server 66 that stores the information corresponding to the information, and the consumer can take out necessary information, browse on the spot, or purchase a product. The history of requests for such advertisement information is stored in the advertisement information management server 66, and the advertiser freely processes the history information to measure the advertisement effect, and develops the next product or refers to the next advertisement. Can be
