Abstract
Description
本発明は、電子新聞配信システムに関するもので、通信回線を介して受信した電子新聞データを配信すると共に、配信時に記録されたログから利用者の利用実績に応じて最適な契約形態を提示する電子新聞配信システムに関するものである。 The present invention relates to an electronic newspaper distribution system, which distributes electronic newspaper data received via a communication line and presents an optimal contract form according to a user's usage record from a log recorded at the time of distribution. It relates to a newspaper distribution system.
従来、紙媒体に印刷された新聞は、新聞購読者の契約情報に基づいて、人手による配送を経て新聞購読者の下に届けられている。その一方、軽量で持ち運びに適し、かつ、電子ペーパーなどの利用によって紙に近い視認性と十分な省電力性を兼ね備えた表示装置を有する電子デバイスが発売されている。このような電子デバイスは一般に、ある程度の情報量を電子デバイスが備える記憶媒体に記録することができ、有線または無線の通信機能や、情報記録メディアの読み取り装置を用いて電子データにアクセスできる手段を有しており、印刷物のコンテンツを電子データとして配信したものを閲覧するのに適した機能を備えている。 Conventionally, a newspaper printed on a paper medium is delivered to a newspaper subscriber through manual delivery based on contract information of the newspaper subscriber. On the other hand, an electronic device having a display device that is lightweight and suitable for carrying, and has both visibility close to paper and sufficient power saving by using electronic paper or the like has been put on the market. In general, such an electronic device can record a certain amount of information in a storage medium included in the electronic device, and can provide a means for accessing electronic data using a wired or wireless communication function or a reader of the information recording medium. It has a function suitable for browsing the contents of the printed matter distributed as electronic data.
従来の紙媒体の新聞の配送には人件費をはじめとしたコストがかかる。特に購読者がまばらで、配送効率の悪い地域に対しては配送コストの方が上回り、採算が取れないことがあった。また毎日大量の印刷物を生成する上で消費される木材資源や、大量に発生する古紙の処理の問題など、環境面に与える影響においても無視できない問題を抱えている。このような問題を解決するために、今後、新聞を徐々に紙媒体の配送から電子媒体のコンテンツの配信に移行していくことが考えられる。しかし紙媒体の新聞を購読している新聞購読者に対して、効果的に電子媒体の新聞へ移行を促すことのできる手段は無かった。 Conventional paper-based newspaper delivery involves labor costs and other costs. In particular, in regions where subscribers are sparse and delivery efficiency is low, the delivery cost may be higher, making it unprofitable. In addition, there are problems that cannot be ignored in terms of environmental impact, such as wood resources that are consumed in the production of large amounts of printed materials every day and the problem of processing large amounts of waste paper. In order to solve such problems, it is conceivable that newspapers will be gradually shifted from paper media delivery to electronic media content delivery in the future. However, there has been no means by which newspaper subscribers who subscribe to paper-based newspapers can be effectively encouraged to move to electronic newspapers.
本発明は紙媒体の新聞の紙面を電子新聞データとして保持する電子新聞データベースと、新聞購読者の購読契約に係る個人情報を含む情報を保持する購読者データベースと、新聞コンテンツ提供者が設定するキャンペーンデータを保持するキャンペーンデータベースの少なくとも３つのデータベースを有し、電子新聞データを新聞購読者の持つ電子デバイスへ配信する電子新聞配信サーバからなる電子新聞配信システムである。配信の方式はＨＴＴＰや、メールの仕組みを使うなど様々な方法が考えられる。前記電子新聞配信システムは電子新聞データを配信したときに、どの新聞購読者に何のコンテンツを配信したという情報を配信ログとして記録する機能を有する。 The present invention relates to an electronic newspaper database that holds a newspaper page of a paper medium as electronic newspaper data, a subscriber database that holds information including personal information related to a newspaper subscriber's subscription contract, and a campaign set by a newspaper content provider This is an electronic newspaper distribution system comprising an electronic newspaper distribution server that has at least three databases of campaign databases that hold data and distributes electronic newspaper data to electronic devices of newspaper subscribers. There are various delivery methods such as HTTP and mail mechanism. When the electronic newspaper data is distributed, the electronic newspaper distribution system has a function of recording, as a distribution log, information indicating what content has been distributed to which newspaper subscriber.
前記電子新聞配信システムは、紙媒体の新聞を購読している既存の新聞購読者に対して、既存の紙媒体の新聞購読料金のみで、追加のオプション料金を必要とせずに電子データの新聞の配信を提供する第一のステップを備える。新聞購読者データベースに記録された既存の紙媒体の新聞を購読しているユーザーに対して、アカウント生成部で認証情報を生成し、新聞購読者データベースに登録すると共に新聞購読者に対して前記認証情報を送る。 The electronic newspaper distribution system provides an existing newspaper subscriber who subscribes to a paper-based newspaper only with an existing paper-based newspaper subscription fee, and does not require an additional option fee. A first step of providing delivery. For a user who subscribes to an existing paper-based newspaper recorded in the newspaper subscriber database, authentication information is generated by the account generation unit and registered in the newspaper subscriber database, and the authentication is performed for the newspaper subscriber. Send information.
前記認証情報は一般的にはユーザーＩＤとパスワードの組であるが、他のものでもよいのは勿論である。認証情報は新聞購読者に対して新聞購読者データベースの住所や電子メールアドレスなどのコンタクト先を参照し、郵便などの一般的な形で送る方法、購読している紙の新聞と共に配送する方法、電子メールで通知する方法などが考えられるが、方法はなんでもよく、この本発明の範疇ではない。 The authentication information is generally a combination of a user ID and a password, but may be other information. Authentication information is sent to newspaper subscribers by referring to contact information such as addresses and email addresses in the newspaper subscriber database, sent in a general form such as postal mail, delivered with a subscribed paper newspaper, A method of notifying by e-mail is conceivable, but any method may be used and is not within the scope of the present invention.
前記認証情報を通知された新聞購読者はネットワークに接続された電子デバイスより、前記ネットワークを介して前記認証情報を入力し、前記電子新聞配信サーバにアクセスを行う。前記電子新聞配信サーバはネットワークを介して受信した前記認証情報を新聞購読者データベースの情報を元に認証を行い、正しい認証情報と判断された場合、電子新聞データベースから電子新聞データを配信すると共に配信ログに記録を行う。 The newspaper subscriber notified of the authentication information inputs the authentication information via the network from an electronic device connected to the network, and accesses the electronic newspaper distribution server. The electronic newspaper distribution server authenticates the authentication information received via the network based on the information in the newspaper subscriber database, and distributes electronic newspaper data from the electronic newspaper database and distributes the authentication information when it is determined to be correct. Record in the log.
電子新聞配信システムはキャンペーンデータベースで設定されたキャンペーンデータに対応して購読者データベースおよび配信ログを参照し、キャンペーンデータとして設定されたキャンペーンデータ対象に該当するか否かを判定する。キャンペーンは、例えば配信ログ設定された一定の期間の間に設定された一定の回数以上利用している新聞購読者に対して、紙の新聞の購読を停止して電子新聞の購読のみの契約にすれば定められた料金を減額することを電子デバイス上で提示する。そして、提示したキャンペーンに同意を得た新聞購読者に対して紙の新聞の配信を停止するという第二のステップを備える。 The electronic newspaper distribution system refers to the subscriber database and the distribution log corresponding to the campaign data set in the campaign database, and determines whether or not it corresponds to the campaign data target set as the campaign data. For example, for a newspaper subscriber who has used a certain number of times for a certain period of time set as a delivery log, the campaign stops the subscription of paper newspapers and contracts only for electronic newspaper subscriptions. If so, the electronic device will be informed that the prescribed fee will be reduced. Then, a second step of stopping the delivery of the paper newspaper to the newspaper subscriber who has obtained consent to the presented campaign is provided.
このシステムを用いることによって、購読者の電子新聞の利用状態に即した形で紙媒体の配達の停止を提示し、さらには新聞購読者がその提示に同意をすれば即時に契約の変更を行い、電子新聞のみの契約へと移行させることが出来る。第一のステップにおいて、既存の紙媒体の新聞購読者全てを電子新聞の購読可能にすることが可能であるので、既存の膨大な紙媒体の新聞の購読者を電子新聞の購読者に着実に移行させていくことが可能になる。 By using this system, the suspension of paper media is presented in accordance with the usage status of the subscriber's electronic newspaper, and if the newspaper subscriber agrees to the presentation, the contract is immediately changed. , It is possible to shift to a contract only for electronic newspapers. In the first step, it is possible to make all existing newspaper newspaper subscribers available for electronic newspaper subscriptions, thus steadily transforming a large number of existing paper newspaper subscribers into electronic newspaper subscribers. It will be possible to migrate.
さらに第二のステップにおいて、既存の紙媒体の新聞の購読者が電子新聞のみの購読契約に移行を加速するためのインセンティブとして購読料金を減額するための原資は、紙媒体の配達が不要になることによるコスト減から捻出することができるため、新聞社、購読者、新聞代理店の３者全てが共に利益を得ることが可能となり、無理無く電子新聞への移行が可能になる。 In the second step, paper media subscribers are no longer required to reduce subscription fees as an incentive to accelerate the transition of existing paper newspaper subscribers to electronic newspaper-only subscriptions. Since the cost can be reduced, the newspaper company, the subscriber, and the newspaper agency can all make a profit, and it is possible to shift to the electronic newspaper without difficulty.
本発明の実施の形態を図で説明する。本発明では紙媒体の新聞の紙面を電子新聞データとして保持する電子新聞データベース２０１と、新聞購読者の購読契約に係る個人情報を含む情報３００を保持する購読者データベース２０２と、新聞コンテンツ提供者が設定するキャンペーンデータを保持するキャンペーンデータベース２００の少なくとも３つのデータベースを有し、電子新聞データを新聞購読者の持つ電子デバイスへ配信する電子新聞配信サーバ２０３からなる電子新聞配信システムである。配信の方式はＨＴＴＰや、メールの仕組みを使うなど様々な方法が考えられる。前記電子新聞配信システムは電子新聞データを配信したときに、どの新聞購読者に何のコンテンツを配信したという情報を配信ログ４００として記録する機能を有する。なお、新聞購読者が用いる電子端末１００の構成としては、携帯電話機、あるいは携帯電話網を使う通信モジュールを利用してネットワークに接続することが考えられる。例えば電子新聞データを表示するデバイスは携帯電話自体でもよく、通信モジュールを利用したパソコンやＰＤＡや専用端末でもよい。携帯電話とＵＳＢやＢｌｕｅｔｏｏｔｈなどのインタフェースで接続されたパソコンやＰＤＡや専用端末でもよい。 Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
