[Usage Mode of Regional Promotion System] "Acquisition of ID Number Sign" First, in order to use the regional promotion system of the first embodiment having such a configuration, the identification number issuing device 1 must be used. It is necessary for the traveler to actually visit the installed tourist spot or the like and operate the identification number issuing device 1 to receive the ID number tag.

That is, when the traveler enters the identification number issuing device 1
When the user actually goes to a sightseeing spot or the like where the is installed and performs an operation of issuing an ID number sign via the operation unit 10 shown in FIG.
The CPU 12 of the identification number issuing device 1 operates based on the ID number issuing program stored in the memory 13,
An ID is issued so as to issue the "ID number" of the traveler and the order of the travelers who have visited the sightseeing spot on that day, or the "visit number" indicating the total number of travelers who have visited the sightseeing spot until then. The unit 13 is controlled.

When the CPU 12 controls the issuance of the “ID number” and the “visit number”, the CPU 12 communicates with the local promotion company side PC device 2 through the I / F 14 and The issued “ID number” and “visit number” are notified to the PC device 2. Local promotion company side PC
When notified of the “ID number” and the “visit number” from the CPU 12, the device 2 writes and controls these in the ID database 3.

As will be described later, this ID database 3
The "ID number" written in is read when the traveler accesses the local promotion provider's PC device 2, and is used for correct / incorrect verification.

In this example, when the CPU 12 of the identification number issuing device 1 controls the issuance of the "ID number" and "visit number", the issued "ID number" and "visit number" The local promotion company side PC device 2 is notified and the local promotion company side PC device 2 is notified of the "ID
The "number" and the "visit number" are written and controlled in the ID database 3, but as described above, the identification number issuing device 1 can be carried separately from the local promotion company side PC device 2.

For this reason, when the identification number issuing device 1 and the regional promotion company side PC device 2 are not connected, the CPU 12 of the identification number issuing device 1 stores the issued “ID number” and “visit number” in the memory. 13 is written. Then, when the connection with the regional promotion company side PC device 2 is established, the CPU 12 reads out the stored “ID number” and “visit number” from the memory 13 and controls the region promotion company side PC device. Transfer to 2 side, regional promotion company side PC
The device 2 writes and controls the transferred “ID number” and “visit number” in the ID database 3.

The ID issuing section 13 prints an “ID number” and a “visit number” on a card-like ID number mark formed of predetermined members as shown in FIG. And may be engraved or the like. The same applies to the following) and print the "Internet address of the WWW site of the regional promotion company that has jurisdiction over the sightseeing spot" and provide it to the traveler.

The ID number mark is made of, for example, a cardboard, a plastic member, a metal member such as aluminum, or the like, and is approximately the size of a ticket or a telephone card. For this reason, it is easy for a traveler to handle and has excellent durability.

The ID numbers are issued in such a manner that the same ID numbers are not duplicated, and the issued ID numbers are IDs dedicated to individuals visiting the sightseeing spots and the like.
Number. For this reason, in order to secure the exclusiveness of this ID number, in the system, for example, the first month of installation of the system uses numbers, the next month uses alphabets, and the next two months use a mixture of numbers and alphabets. Thus, the configuration (form) of the ID number is changed periodically (or irregularly).

The change of the ID number is performed by connecting the identification number issuing device 1 and the local promotion company side PC device 2 to each other via the I / F 14, and then the local region promotion company operates the local promotion company side PC device 2 Is operated to change the ID issuing program stored in the memory 13 of the identification number issuing device 1. The CPU 12 transmits the changed ID issuing program to, for example, a semiconductor memory or an HDD.
Until the next time the ID issuing program is changed, the ID number is controlled based on the currently stored ID issuing program.

As described above, by changing the ID number regularly or irregularly, forgery of the ID number can be prevented, and the exclusiveness of the ID number of each individual can be secured.

It is to be noted that, for example, a photograph, image, advertisement, or the like of a famous place at the sightseeing spot may be printed on the ID number mark, and the “ID number” or the like may be printed thereon. As a result, if you print a photo of a famous place at a tourist spot,
An aesthetic value or the like can be added to the ID number tag itself.
Therefore, it is possible to stimulate the traveler's willingness to collect, and also to stimulate the willingness to visit the sightseeing spot, so that the sightseeing spot can be actually visited.

When an advertisement or the like is printed, the ID number mark can be used as an advertisement, and the regional promotion company can obtain an advertisement fee from an advertiser. Promotion of participation in the promotion system can also be planned. (Issue of ID number to group)

Further, in this embodiment, the ID number is issued as a personal ID number. However, it is also possible to issue one ID number to a plurality of groups. In this case, on the front side of the identification number issuing device 1, a "personal ID issuance selection key" which is selected when an ID number is to be issued to each individual, and when an ID number is to be issued to a plurality of groups. And a "group ID issuance selection key" to be selected, and the traveler can operate any key.

When a group of tourists visits a sightseeing spot or the like at the same time, it takes some time for one person to receive an ID number. As described above, one ID number is issued to a plurality of people. By doing so, one ID number can be shared by a plurality of people, so that the time required to issue an ID number to a plurality of tourists such as a group can be reduced. .

[Access to Regional Promotion Agency After Visit] Next, after acquiring the ID number mark in this way, the traveler can use the computer device to search for the sightseeing spot or the like after the visit, for example, after returning home. Access to the regional promotion companies under their jurisdiction will be made possible. For example, after returning home from a travel destination, there is a case where a souvenir is forgotten, a case where it is desired to return to the sightseeing spot several years after the visit, or a case where the sightseeing of the sightseeing spot is recommended to a friend or the like. In such a case, in the regional promotion system, a person who has acquired the ID number tag can easily access the sightseeing spot or the like as described below.

That is, as described above with reference to FIG. 2, the ID number label issued to each traveler together with the individual-specific “ID number” and “visit number”
"Internet address of WWW site of local promotion company in charge of the sightseeing spot" is printed. It should be noted that there are also ID number tags issued to each organization, but here, the explanation will be given using an ID number tag dedicated to each individual as an example.

For this reason, the traveler who has acquired the ID number tag, after visiting, wants to access the sightseeing spot where the ID number tag has been acquired, operates the traveler side PC device 6 shown in FIG. In this state, the user inputs the Internet address printed on the ID number sign to access the WWW site of the regional promotion company that controls the sightseeing spot.

In step S1, the local promotion company side PC apparatus 2 controls the display of an opening screen such as "Welcome to XX sightseeing spot" on the traveler side PC apparatus 6 and displays the input screen of the traveler ID number. The display is controlled and the process proceeds to step S2.

It is to be noted that, for example, when a traveler visits a plurality of sightseeing spots designated by the regional promotion company and obtains all ID numbers issued at each sightseeing spot, a predetermined service is received. If you can do that,
The local promotion company side PC device 2 controls the display of the input screen having a plurality of ID number input areas on the traveler side PC device 6 as the ID number input screen, and proceeds to step S2.

The traveler operates the traveler's PC 6 to input the ID number printed on the ID number label obtained by the user on the basis of the ID number input screen. A reply is sent to the trader's PC device 2 side.
In step S2, the regional promotion company's PC device 2 determines whether or not this ID number has been input. If the ID number has been input (Yes), the process proceeds to step S3. If the input has not been performed (if No), the process proceeds to step S10, and it is determined whether the access has been completed. If the access has been completed, the program shown in the flowchart shown in FIG. Is terminated, and if the access is not terminated, step S
Returning to step 2, by repeatedly executing the routines of step S2 and step S10, the apparatus stands by in a state of waiting for input of an ID number.

Next, when an ID number is inputted by the traveler, the local promotion company side PC device 2 transmits the entered ID number and all the ID numbers stored in the ID database 3. Are compared, and in step S3,
It is determined whether or not the ID number input by the traveler is present among all the ID numbers stored in the ID database 3 (whether the ID number input by the traveler is correct), If the ID number input by the traveler is correct (in the case of Yes), the process proceeds to step S4, and if the ID number input by the traveler is incorrect (No)
Goes to step S11).

In step S11, since the ID number input by the traveler is incorrect, the local promotion company's PC device 2 displays, for example, "The input ID number is incorrect. Enter the correct ID number again. Is displayed on the traveler's PC device 6 to prompt the traveler to re-enter the ID number, proceed to step S10, determine whether the access has been terminated, and determine whether the access has been terminated. In this case, the execution of the program shown in the flowchart of FIG. 3 is terminated, and if the access is not terminated, the process returns to step S2, and the routines of steps S2, S3 and S11 are repeatedly executed. , And waits for an ID number re-input.

Next, in step S4, since the ID number entered by the traveler is correct, the local promotion company's PC device 2 sends the information such as: weather, image service, souvenir purchase, sightseeing spot information, event information, etc. The display of the menu screen of the service performed in the regional promotion system is controlled on the traveler PC device 6, and the process proceeds to step S5.
