DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a store for selling valuable contents provided with a sales terminal for selling various valuable contents such as tickets, music and games registered in a computer to users.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, as mobile terminals such as mobile phones and mobile terminals have become widespread and their functions have been multiplied, music, games and various kinds of information, such as valuable seats and reservations, have been added to these mobile terminals. It is becoming increasingly common to obtain and utilize the information.

[0003]

In order to obtain these valuable contents, a connection terminal is used to connect a portable terminal owned by a user and a sales terminal to a sales terminal in a valuable content sales store in which a sales terminal for selling valuable contents is installed. It is implemented by connecting the mobile terminal, or by inserting a recording medium attachable to the portable terminal into the sales terminal and downloading (transmitting or writing) the data. A certain amount of time is required, such as time for distribution from a computer that performs distribution to a sales terminal, and time for transmission from a sales terminal to a portable terminal.For example, music data such as an album is compressed data. These downloads require a relatively long time due to the relatively large amount of data. During the download, the user needs to wait at the sales terminal, which is not only inconvenient, but also because the sales terminal is occupied during the download, the usage rate of the sales terminal decreases. There was a problem that would.

[0004] Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and it has been found that the inconvenience associated with downloading valuable content data and the decrease in the utilization rate of sales terminals can be eliminated. The purpose is to provide sales stores.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a store for selling valuable content according to the present invention is connected to a computer in which data of valuable content to be sold is registered so as to be able to perform data communication, and the computer stores the valuable content. A sales terminal that sells valuable content after receiving more valuable content distribution is a sales store of at least one valuable content installed, and the sales terminal has purchased valuable content data owned by a user. It is characterized by being sold by transmitting it to a mobile terminal without contact.
According to this feature, the user can download valuable content in a non-contact manner, so that the user can freely move inside (outside) the sales store during the download, which is convenient for the user. In addition to improving sales, it is possible not only to improve sales by obtaining a sales opportunity, but also to solve the problem that the sales terminal is occupied during the download and the usage rate of the sales terminal is reduced. .

[0006] It is preferable that the selling terminal of the valuable content according to the present invention is configured such that the selling terminal can contactlessly receive identification information capable of specifying a registered person at the time of making a reservation in the computer. With this configuration, even when the identification information is input, it is not necessary to go to the sales terminal and operate the terminal. This not only improves the convenience of the user, but also causes a queue or the like to be displayed along with the input operation of the identification information. It is also possible to avoid inconveniences occurring within.

[0007] In the store for selling valuable contents according to the present invention, the portable terminal is a portable telephone terminal, and the data communication with the portable terminal in a non-contact manner is performed at an individual frequency different from the communication frequency of the portable telephone terminal. It is preferable that the operation can be performed by radio waves. With this configuration, even when the mobile phone terminal and the sales terminal are performing data communication, the mobile phone terminal can not only perform a normal call but also be restricted by the communication speed and communication rules for these calls. A relatively high-speed non-contact communication with a wide band can be realized without using a broadband.

[0008] In the store for selling valuable content according to the present invention, it is preferable that the selling terminal can output the completion of the distribution of the valuable content to a portable terminal owned by a user in a non-contact manner. With this configuration, the mobile terminal notifies the completion of the distribution based on the output of the completion of the distribution, so that the user can reliably recognize the completion of the receiving process while freely moving in (outside) the store. .

[0009] In the store for selling valuable contents according to the present invention, it is preferable that the sales terminal is capable of performing data communication simultaneously with portable terminals owned by a plurality of users. In this way, a plurality of users can use the sales terminal at the same time, so that not only the number of sales terminals installed but also the waiting time of the user can be reduced as much as possible.

[0010] In the store for selling valuable content according to the present invention, it is preferable that the selling terminal is provided with means for adjusting the price of the valuable content. In this way, it is possible to reduce the labor required for the settlement of valuable content and to eliminate an error in the settlement amount.

Based on the display, the user inputs, for example, a singer's name as information of a music album to be purchased.

Based on the input of the singer's name, the reservation computer 2 searches and extracts the title of the music album corresponding to the input singer's name from the distribution software DB registered in the storage device 85. All title names extracted as a result are returned, and the returned title names are displayed on the PHS terminal 5.

The user selects the desired music album if there is a desired music album among the displayed title names. If the desired music album does not exist, the user again selects the title of the music album. A search is performed in the reservation computer 2 by inputting a name.

If the user does not wish to make a reservation and does not select a re-search, the reservation computer 2 terminates by cutting off the line. A message prompting the input of the singer's name is transmitted again, and the system waits for input of search information.

When the user wants to make a reservation, he or she checks the contents of the album and then selects the desired reservation. When this reservation request input is made, the reservation computer 2 combines a reservation number that is individual for each reservation as identification information that can identify the reservation person, for example, date data with a serial number that is the number of reservations for that day. The determined reservation number and the telephone number of the user's PHS terminal 5 temporarily stored in the connection process are used to determine the title of the album (the code name for specifying the album). ) Are registered in the reservation database (DB) in association with each other, and the determined reservation number is returned to the PHS terminal 5 of the reservation person.

In response, the PHS terminal 5 stores the transmitted reservation number in the flash memory 67, and returns to the reservation computer 2 that the reception and storage of the reservation number are completed.

Receiving the reply, the reservation computer 2 disconnects the line as the completion processing of the reservation processing, and transmits the reservation (registration) information registered in the reservation database (DB) to the distribution computer 3. The reservation information output via the communication interface 82 is stored in the reservation database (DB) of the distribution computer 3.

When the user goes to a store where the sales terminal 10 is installed for shopping or the like after the reservation, it is built into the PHS terminal 5. A connection process is performed between the set Bluetooth unit 68 and the Bluetooth unit 30 inside the sales terminal 10, and when the reservation number remains in the flash memory 67, the ring tone of the PHS terminal 5 is output. At the same time, a message is displayed on the LCD panel 53 notifying that the reserved content is available.

[0038] Based on the display, the reservation person recognizes that the content can be obtained, and when the content is desired to be obtained, performs an input for requesting the content. Based on this input, the PHS terminal 5 sends the telephone number of the PHS terminal 5 to the sales terminal 10 via the Bluetooth unit 68 and the flash memory 67.
And the reservation number stored in.

Upon receiving the telephone number and the reservation number, the sales terminal 10 transmits the telephone number and the reservation number to the distribution computer 3 installed in the reservation distribution center 1.

The distribution computer 3 checks whether the received telephone number and the reservation information corresponding to the reservation number exist in the reservation database (DB), and when the corresponding reservation information exists, it is specified by the reservation information. The encrypted music data of the album as valuable content is returned to the sales terminal 10.

The encrypted music data transmitted to the sales terminal 10 is contactlessly downloaded to the PHS terminal 5 of the subscriber via the Bluetooth unit 30 and stored in the flash memory 67. When the data transfer is completed, the sales terminal 10 receives (transmits) the data to the distribution computer 3 and the PHS terminal 5.
Output completion data. Based on the reception of the reception completion data, the distribution history is registered in the distribution terminal database (DB) in the distribution computer 3.

As described above, since the download is performed in a non-contact state, the reservation person can freely move in the store and perform shopping or the like even during the download.
Although it is preferable because the convenience of the user can be improved, the present invention is not limited to this.

Based on the reception of the transmission completion data from the sales terminal 10, the PHS terminal 5 outputs a notification sound for notifying that the download of the content data has been completed, and displays "Download complete,
Please execute payment. "Message is displayed.

At this stage, the reservation person has the sales terminal 1
The user goes to 0 and inputs the telephone number of the PHS terminal 5 he owns from the numeric keypad 24. In response to the input of the telephone number, the sales terminal 10 checks whether or not the input telephone number is different from the telephone number registered in the reservation information. The title of the album and its cost are displayed on the display 14.

The reservation person inputs the cash of the displayed cost from the small cash processing unit 25 provided in the sales terminal 10 and executes the settlement, whereby the encrypted music is transmitted from the sales terminal 10. The encryption key data for decrypting the data is transferred by the Bluetooth units 30 and 68, and the PHS terminal 5 can decrypt and reproduce the music data.
From 9 a receipt is issued.

When the valuable content is a ticket, the ticket is printed by the full-color printer 17 and issued to the subscriber at the stage when the settlement is completed.
