  Hereinafter, functional units that are configured and held by the consumer terminal 100 based on the program 102 will be described. The consumer terminal 100 includes a detection notification acquisition unit 110 that receives detection information about the consumer terminal itself by the detection sensor 45 in the predetermined area 250 from the activation support server 200 connected to the detection sensor 45.

  Further, the consumer terminal 100 collates the area information included in the detection information with the activation priority database 126 storing the availability information for each application program in each area 250, and the activation priority of the application program in the corresponding area. The priority order specifying unit 111 is provided.

  Further, the consumer terminal 100 extracts an application program having a predetermined priority order or higher from the application program storage database 125 based on the specified boot priority order, and generates a boot selection list 130 according to the boot priority order. The list generation unit 112 is provided.

  The consumer terminal 100 further includes an output processing unit 113 that outputs the activation selection list 130 to an output interface.

  Further, when receiving the detection information from the activation support server 200, the consumer terminal 100 performs a time stamp in a predetermined memory, counts an elapsed time from the time stamp, and sets the elapsed time to be a predetermined time or more. It is preferable to provide a time-out processing unit 114 that detects the time point when the start time is reached and executes the output process of the activation selection list 130 or the stop process of the application program selected and activated from the activation selection list 130.

  The consumer terminal 100 counts the visit frequency of the user for each area, and increases or decreases the availability of the application program associated with each area in the activation priority database 126 according to the degree of the visit frequency. It is preferable that the database update management unit 115 is provided.

  As an example of technology for detecting presence / absence in the area of the consumer terminal 100, an example shown in FIG. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a consumer terminal detection method in the present embodiment. One is a technology in which a GPS (Global Positioning System) unit is mounted on the consumer terminal 100 and the GPS unit detects the consumer terminal 100 that has entered a preset area. Detection information detected by the GPS unit is notified to the consumer terminal 100 via the branch-specific customer management system 200.

  One is a technology in which an RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) tag is mounted on the consumer terminal 100, and the detector detects when the consumer terminal 100 approaches the RFID detector. Similarly to the above, the detection information detected by the detector is notified to the consumer terminal 100 via the branch-specific customer management system 200. Note that a gate may be used to accurately detect the consumer terminal position.

  One is a technique in which a Bluetooth (registered trademark: Bluetooth SIG, Inc.) client is installed in the consumer terminal 100, and the Bluetooth client detects a signal periodically transmitted from an access point.

  One is a technique of detecting an approximate position by confirming in which base station area of the PHS or the mobile phone the PHS / mobile phone as the consumer terminal 100 exists.

--- Database structure ---
Next, a database used by the consumer terminal 100 of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a data configuration example of (a) an application program storage database, (b) an activation priority database, (c) a time stamp database, and (d) a customer database in the present embodiment.

  The application program storage database 125 is a database that stores one or more application programs used in the consumer terminal 100. For example, using the application ID as a key, the application name, the application type, the ID of the associated department store, and the application program body It is a collection of records that relate such data.

  The activation priority database 126 is a database that stores the availability information for each application program in each area such as the department store 250 and the retail store 221. For example, the activation priority database 126 uses the application ID and the store ID as keys. It is a collection of records associated with data. In the figure, as a data example of availability, the order of usage priority is given. Note that the consumer terminal 100 counts the visit frequency of the user for each area, and increases or decreases the availability of the application program associated with each area in the activation priority database 126 according to the degree of the visit frequency. This is preferable.

  The time stamp database 127 is a database that stores a time stamp that the consumer terminal 100 performs when receiving the detection information from the customer management system by branch 200 serving as an activation support server. It is a collection of records in which data such as the shop ID of the visited place and the elapsed time information are associated. When the consumer terminal 100 receives the detection information from the activation support server 200, the consumer terminal 100 performs a time stamp on the time stamp database 127, counts an elapsed time from the time stamp, and uses the elapsed time as the elapsed time. The information is stored in the database 127 as information.

  The customer database 128 is a database that stores customer information linked to an area in the present invention such as the department store 250, for example, and associates data such as name, address, and consumer terminal ID with the customer ID as a key. It is a collection of records.

  Note that the functional units 110 to 115 in the consumer terminal 100 shown so far may be realized as hardware, or may be realized as a program stored in an appropriate storage device such as a memory. In this case, the CPU 104 reads the corresponding program from the storage device into the memory 103 and executes it in accordance with the execution of the program.

  In addition to the Internet and LAN, various networks such as a dedicated line, a WAN (Wide Area Network), a power line network, a wireless network, a public line network, and a mobile phone network can be adopted as the network 150. Further, if a virtual private network technology such as VPN is used, communication with improved security is established when the Internet is adopted.

--- Processing flow ---
Next, the actual procedure of the application program activation support method of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the actual procedure of the application program activation support method of this embodiment. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a screen transition example 1 of the consumer terminal in the present embodiment, and FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a screen transition example 2 of the consumer terminal in the present embodiment.

  Note that various operations corresponding to the application program activation support method described below are realized by a program provided in a storage unit such as a memory in the consumer terminal 100. And this program is comprised from the code | cord | chord for performing various operation | movement demonstrated below, and mounts the function of each part of the said structure.

  Further, it is assumed that the branch-side customer management system 200 realizes the function as the activation support server in the present invention, and performs the necessary cooperation when the consumer terminal 100 executes the application program activation support method together with the store terminal 220. . Therefore, in the flowchart shown in FIG. 4, the processing in the consumer terminal 100 and the processing in the branch-based customer management system 200 and the store terminal 220 are described together.

  Further, the application program storage database 125 of the consumer terminal 100 has one or more credit settlement application programs, one point management application program for each store 221 and the like as shown in the list 500 of FIG. Shall.

  A detection sensor 45 installed at the entrance of the department store 250 detects the presence or absence of a consumer terminal 100 such as a mobile phone carried by a visitor. Therefore, when the consumer terminal 100 enters the area of the department store 250, the detection sensor 45 detects this and notifies the corresponding consumer terminal 100 of detection information (s1000).

  The consumer terminal 100 receives this detection information and returns a detection response to the branch customer management system 200 (s1001). Further, when receiving the detection information from the customer management system 200 by branch office, the consumer terminal 100 stores the time stamp information of the visit to the time stamp database 127 (s1002). Then, the elapsed time from the visit timestamp is started to be counted.

  On the other hand, the detection sensor 45 installed in the department store 250 detects the visit of the consumer terminal 100, while notifying the branch-specific customer management system 200 of the detected terminal ID of the consumer terminal 100 (s1003).

  The headquarters system 300 of the department store 250 has a customer database 310 based on a house card or the like, and the customer management system 200 for each branch of each branch regularly receives customers such as customer entrance / exit via the headquarters server 305. It distributes database update information. Accordingly, it is assumed that the customer database 210 in the branch-by-branch customer management system 200 is periodically synchronized with the customer database 310 of the head office system 300.

  Further, the branch-by-branch customer management system 200 notifies the consumer terminal 100 of an application program activation preparation request that can be used in the department store 250 (s1004). This request includes the ID of the department store 250.

  The consumer terminal 100 receives the activation preparation request, and searches the application program storage database 125 based on the ID of the department store 250 included in the request. Thus, an application program related to the department store 250 is specified. For example, a list 501 (“active AP”) in the application program storage database 125 of the consumer terminal 100 shown in FIG. 5 is a list of the identified application programs. In this way, the consumer terminal 100 prepares for activation of an application program that may be used in the department store 250 (s1005). At this time, the screen 135 of the consumer terminal 100 displays a message 510 indicating that the application program specified in the list 501 is being prepared for activation.

  On the other hand, the branch-by-branch customer management system 200 identifies the customer in the customer database 210 based on the ID notification of the consumer terminal 100 from the detection sensor 45, and generates a visitor list file 211 (s1006). Then, the branch customer management system 200 transmits the visitor list file 211 to the corresponding store terminal 220 (s1007). The store terminal 220 receives this and updates its own customer list file 211 (s1008).

  The consumer terminal 100 obtains the current time from its own clock function, calculates the difference between this current time and the time stamp of the visit of the time stamp database 127, and determines whether this is equal to or greater than a predetermined time-out time ( s1009). Accordingly, if it is determined that the time-out time is exceeded (s1009: YES), the consumer terminal is assumed to have left the store without visiting any store 221 for a long time since visiting the department store 250. The application program activation preparation (or activation) in 100 is terminated (s1020), and the flow is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined in the determination that the time is not longer than the timeout time (s1009: NO), the standby state is maintained.

  Thereafter, when the user of the consumer terminal 100 visits a certain store 221 (“AA cosmetics section” in FIG. 5), the detection sensor 50 installed in the store 221 detects the presence of the consumer terminal 100. . This detection information is collated with the customer list file 211 held in the store terminal 220, and if it is hit, the store terminal 220 notifies the consumer terminal 100 of the detection information including the store ID (s1011). If there is no detection response from the consumer terminal 100 corresponding to this (s1013: none), the process returns to step s1010.

  On the other hand, the consumer terminal 100 returns a detection response to the store terminal 220 in response to the notification of the detection information (s1012). Further, when receiving the detection information from the store terminal 220, the consumer terminal 100 stores the time stamp information of the store visit in the time stamp database 127 (s1014). Then, the elapsed time from the time stamp of the store starts to be counted.

  Subsequently, the consumer terminal 100 identifies an application program (list 501 in FIG. 5) that has already been prepared for activation and is likely to be used in the department store 250 and that is highly usable in the store 221. The process of listing will be executed. In this process, the consumer terminal 100 collates the store ID included in the detection information with the start priority database 126 and specifies the start priority of the application program in the corresponding store 221 (s1015). The application program specified here is “active AP” in the list 502 shown in FIG.

  The consumer terminal 100 extracts an application program having a predetermined priority or higher from the application program storage database 125 based on the specified startup priority order, and starts a selection list corresponding to the startup priority (FIG. 5: list). 511). The activation selection list 511 is output to the screen 135 as an output interface (s1016).

  The consumer terminal 100 acquires the current time from its own clock function, calculates the difference between the current time and the time stamp of the store visit in the time stamp database 127, and determines whether this is equal to or greater than a predetermined time-out time ( s1017). As a result, if it is determined that the time-out time is exceeded (s1017: YES), it is assumed that the customer terminal has left without executing any application program for a long time since the store 221 was visited. The application program activation preparation (or activation) in 100 is terminated (s1020), and the flow is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined in the determination that the time is not longer than the timeout time (s1017: NO), the standby state is maintained.

  The consumer terminal 100 processes the selection and execution of an application program received from the user through the activation selection list 511 (s1018). If this application program termination instruction is received later (s1019), the application program execution in the consumer terminal 100 is terminated (s1020), and the flow is terminated.

  If the user visits another store in the department store 250 after the store 221 (FIG. 6: “DD grocery store”), the consumer terminal 100 is in the priority order of activation corresponding to the store as described above. And an application program having a predetermined priority order or higher is extracted from the application program storage database 125 based on the activation priority order. Then, an activation selection list (FIG. 6: list 600) corresponding to the activation priority is generated. The consumer terminal 100 outputs the start selection list 600 to the screen 135 as an output interface, accepts the selection from the user, and processes the execution of the application program.

  Further, as described above, when the consumer terminal 100 determines that the difference between the current time and the time stamp of the visit in the time stamp database 127 is equal to or greater than a predetermined time-out time, the department store 250 leaves the building. If the application program database 125 is recognized, the application program database 125 is in the state of the list 601 in FIG. 6 (the same as the list 501 at the time of visiting shown in FIG. 5), and the screen 135 is displayed as the message 611 (the message 510 at the time of visiting shown in FIG. 5). 6), and further to an initial state (same as the list 500 in FIG. 5) as shown in the list 602 of FIG. 6, the consumer terminal 100 prepares for starting the application program (or Start) is terminated (s1020), and the flow is terminated.

  In addition, the consumer terminal 100 counts the visit frequency of the user for each area such as the department store 250 and the store 221, and the availability of the application program associated with each area in the activation priority database 126 is determined as the visit frequency. The number may be increased or decreased depending on the amount of. In this case, the effectiveness of the startup priority database 126 can be easily maintained without much effort.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to reduce a user burden for selecting or operating an application program in a consumer terminal or the like.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described concretely based on the embodiment, it is not limited to this and can be variously changed in the range which does not deviate from the summary.
