Description

  The present invention relates to a data processing apparatus for simulating a merchandise display form of a plurality of types of sales merchandise stored in a merchandise display system, a computer program for the data processing apparatus, and a data processing method.

  At present, cigarette sales stores such as so-called convenience stores sell cigarette packs as display sales products, for example. The cigarette pack referred to here means a display and sale product in which a plurality of cigarettes that are actually smoked are contained in a rectangular parallelepiped package.

  Therefore, a product display system for displaying cigarette packs includes, for example, a plurality of magazine units and one system frame. The magazine unit is formed of, for example, a colorless and transparent resin in a box shape having an upper surface opening that is elongated in the front-rear direction. The magazine unit is accommodated from above in a state where the standing tobacco packs are arranged in the front-rear direction.

  The system frame holds a plurality of magazine units arranged vertically and horizontally. For this reason, the conventional product display system can display cigarette packs arranged vertically and horizontally.

  An attractive sales floor is an important factor in promoting the sale of products such as cigarette packs. When considering the construction of a sales floor, it is necessary to consider various factors, but in particular, the size of the place where goods are displayed is an important factor.

  In the past, vast sales floors such as shopping malls and mass retailers have been mainstream as sales floors for products. However, in recent years, narrow sales floors such as convenience stores have greatly increased due to changes in distribution form.

  In such a narrow sales floor, the most important theme in the sales strategy is how to obtain the maximum customer appeal in a limited space. However, in the past, in such a narrow sales floor, the construction of a sales floor where an excellent customer appeal effect can be obtained has not been sufficiently studied. In addition, there are many standard product display systems installed in tobacco sales stores, and there is a limit to how to devise sales floors.

In particular, in small tobacco stores such as convenience stores, it is necessary to secure a sales space to install the product display system, and it is required to complete the installation work in a short time. There were few examples of product display systems developed from the standpoint of contributing to sales floor construction.

  When the formation and data registration of the cigarette display system 1000 are completed as described above, the cigarette pack TP, the brick pack BP, and the cigarette carton TK are displayed and sold there.

  However, since the cigarette display system 1000 is uniquely constructed for each tobacco sales store as described above, it is not easy to optimally display the cigarette pack TP, the brick pack BP, and the cigarette carton TK.

  In particular, in order to minimize the defective stock, it is preferable to maximize the rotation rate of a plurality of types of cigarette packs TP displayed and sold in the cigarette display system 1000. For this purpose, the tobacco sales store may change the product display form PDF such as the cigarette pack TP and the cigarette carton TK in the cigarette display system 1000.

  In such a case, in the data processing apparatus 800 of the present embodiment, the product display form PDF such as the cigarette pack TP in the cigarette display system 1000 having various structures as described above is used as the product sales order TSR such as the cigarette pack TP. And the position sales ranking PSR in the cigarette display system 1000 can be simulated.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 9, when a display form generation simulation program is started by a predetermined operation of the data processing device 800 (step S1-Y), various data such as the system front image SFG are read (step S2). ).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 5, a system front image SFG is displayed and output as an initial screen (step S3). At this time, the system front image SFG also displays and outputs position identification data SID for each of the product holding positions PKS.

  In this state, when the product sales order TSR for each sales product type such as the cigarette pack TP, cigarette carton TK, and brick pack BP is acquired (step S4-Y), for example, as shown in FIG. The merchandise sales order TSR is displayed as a list as a pack face image PFG on the left side of the system front image SFG (step S5).

  Similarly, when the position sales rank PSR for each product holding position PKS of the cigarette pack TP, cigarette carton TK, and brick pack BP is acquired (step S6-Y), this position sales rank PSR is also displayed as a list with position identification data SID. (Step S7).

  The above-mentioned merchandise sales order TSR and position sales order PSR may be input in real time to the data processing device 800 with the survey data that has been aggregated by the operator in advance. For example, the POS system ( (Not shown) may be acquired by the data processing apparatus 800.

  With the image display state as described above, the operator confirms the product sales order TSR and the position sales order PSR at a glance together with the system front image SFG. In this state, the operator performs a predetermined input operation as desired, as shown in FIG. 7, the correspondence condition CRR between the pack face image PFG of the product sales rank TSR and the position identification data SID of the position sales rank PSR. Is set (step S8-Y).

  When the generation execution of the product display form PDF is input with this setting completed (step S9-Y), the product display form is set according to the corresponding relationship condition CRR between the input product sales order TSR and the position sales order PSR. A PDF is generated (step S10).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 8, the product display form PDF is displayed and output as a system front image SFG in which the pack face image PFG and the like are arranged at the product holding position PKS (step S11).

  As shown in FIG. 7, if the operator sets the correspondence condition CRR so that the pack face image PFG higher in the product sales rank TSR and the position identification data SID higher in the position sales rank PSR are related to each other. For example, a product display form PDF in which a cigarette pack TP with good sales is arranged at a product holding position PKS with good sales is generated.

  As illustrated, the product sales order TSR and the position sales order PSR are displayed and output for each product type such as the cigarette pack TP and the cigarette carton TK. Further, the product sales order TSR and the position sales order PSR displayed and output for each product type as described above can be reversed upside down by a predetermined operation (not shown).

  The worker who has confirmed the product display form PDF generated and displayed as described above changes the correspondence condition CRR as desired (steps S12-N, S8-Y), for example, to display the product display form PDF. Can also be changed (steps S9 to S11).

  The worker who has acquired the desired product display form PDF based on the desired correspondence condition CRR, for example, prints out the product display form PDF or registers data (not shown) to generate the display form generation. The simulation program is terminated (steps S12-Y, S13).

  In the data processing device 800 of the present embodiment, as described above, a cigarette display in which a predetermined number of cigarette packs TP and the like are arranged and displayed in the vertical and horizontal directions at the product holding position PKS and stored in the front and rear direction. The display accommodation structure DIS of the system 1000 is stored together with at least the system front image SFG.

  In addition, at least a pack face image PFG, a carton face image KFG, a carton end face image KEG, and a brick face image BFG are stored for each cigarette pack TP, cigarette carton TK, and brick pack BP arranged in the product holding position PKS of the system front image SFG. To do.

  In such a state, the product sales rank TSR for each sales product type such as the cigarette pack TP, cigarette carton TK, and brick pack BP is acquired, and the product holding position PKS of the cigarette pack TP, cigarette carton TK, and brick pack BP is obtained. The position sales rank PSR is acquired.

  Then, a product display form PDF for displaying the cigarette pack TP and the like on the cigarette display system 1000 is generated based on the corresponding relationship condition CRR between the acquired product sales order TSR and the position sales order PSR. In the generated product display form PDF, the pack face image PFG and the like are arranged and displayed at the product holding position PKS of the system front image SFG.

  Therefore, the product display form PDF based on the corresponding relationship condition CRR between the product sales order TSR and the position sales order PSR is the system front image SFG, the pack face image PFG, the carton face image KFG, the carton end face image KEG, and the brick face image BFG. Display output.

  For this reason, for example, as described above, the product display form PDF in which the cigarette pack TP, the cigarette carton TK, and the brick pack BP with good sales are displayed at the product holding position PKS with good sales is generated and displayed as an image. be able to.

  The cigarette pack TP, cigarette carton TK, and brick pack BP are actually displayed on the cigarette display system 1000 corresponding to such a product display form PDF, and the cigarette pack TP, cigarette carton TK, and brick pack BP with good sales are displayed. We can expect further sales improvement.

  On the contrary, it is also possible to generate and display an image of a product display form PDF or the like in which the cigarette pack TP, cigarette carton TK, and brick pack BP with poor sales are displayed at the product holding position PKS with good sales.

  The cigarette pack TP, cigarette carton TK, and brick pack BP are actually displayed on the cigarette display system 1000 corresponding to such product display form PDF, and the cigarette pack TP, cigarette carton TK, and brick pack BP with poor sales are displayed. Can be expected to improve sales.

  In addition, in the cigarette pack TP and the like, there are actually a product whose sales are greatly influenced by the product holding position PKS and a product which is not so much affected. In such a case, if the product whose sales are significantly affected is placed in the product holding position PKS with good sales, and the product that is not so affected is placed in the product holding position PKS with poor sales, the cigarette display system 1000 It can be expected to improve sales overall.

  In addition, a new product such as a cigarette pack TP is preferentially placed at a product holding position PKS with good sales, and in that state, the sales for each sales product type are observed, and finally an appropriate product holding position PKS is determined. You can also

  In particular, in the data processing device 800 of the present embodiment, the acquired product sales order TSR and the position sales order PSR are displayed and output, and the corresponding relationship condition CRR is displayed on the displayed product sales order TSR and position sales order PSR. An input operation for setting is accepted. For this reason, the operator can acquire the desired merchandise display form PDF by setting various corresponding relationship conditions CRR as described above as desired.

  Moreover, the data processing device 800 of the present embodiment also stores position identification data SID for each product holding position PKS of the cigarette display system 1000, and pack face image PFG and carton face image KFG The carton end face image KEG and the brick face image BFG are displayed as a list, and the position identification data SID is displayed as a list with the acquired position sales order PSR.

  Then, the corresponding relationship condition CRR corresponds to the pack face image PFG, the carton face image KFG, the carton end face image KEG, the brick face image BFG displayed as a list with the product sales order TSR, and the position identification data SID displayed as a list with the position sales order PSR. Is set. For this reason, the operator can intuitively and easily set the desired correspondence relationship condition CRR.

  The present invention is not limited to the present embodiment, and various modifications are allowed without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment, the acquired product sales order TSR and the position sales order PSR are displayed and output, and the correspondence condition CRR is input to the displayed product sales order TSR and position sales order PSR. did.

  However, such correspondence condition CRR may be fixedly set in the data processing apparatus 800. In this case, the correspondence condition CRR cannot be freely manipulated according to the operator's request. However, for example, the product display form PDF is automatically generated based on the correspondence condition CRR that is statistically determined to be optimal. You can do that.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the pack face image PFG, the carton face image KFG, the carton end face image KEG, and the brick face image BFG are displayed in a list with the acquired product sales order TSR, and the position identification data with the acquired position sales order PSR. An example is shown in which SIDs are displayed as a list, and the corresponding relationship condition CRR is set for them.

  However, the acquired position sales order PSR is displayed and output at the product holding position PKS of the system front image SFG, and the pack face image PFG displayed as a list with the product sales order TSR and the position holding order PSR are displayed and output. Correspondence relation condition CRR may be set to position PKS (not shown).

  In this case, the operator can arrange the pack face image PFG displayed in a list with the product sales order TSR as desired in the product holding position PKS of the system front image SFG in which the position sales order PSR is displayed and output. . A product display form PDF in which a pack face image PFG or the like is arranged in the system front image SFG can be generated while being confirmed.

  Further, in the above embodiment, only the product display form PDF is generated by the correspondence condition CRR between the product sales order TSR and the position sales order PSR. However, the product display form PDF generated based on the corresponding relationship condition CRR may be corrected by the display correction condition (not shown). In such a data processing device (not shown), the product sales rank TSR and the position sales rank PSR may be corrected according to the display correction condition.

  For example, when the one-to-one correspondence condition CRR is set between the cigarette pack TP and the product holding position PKS as described above, the cigarette pack TP and the like are in a disordered state in the product display form PDF as shown in FIG. Will be arranged.

  Therefore, by causing the cigarette pack TP to execute a majority vote for each group of the product holding positions PKS with such a product display form PDF, as shown in FIG. 10, the product display form PDF has a group of product holding positions PKS. One type of cigarette pack TP or the like is corrected to be arranged.

  As such display correction conditions, for example, as shown in FIG. 11, one product holding position PKS is set in advance for each group, and a corresponding relationship condition CRR is set one-on-one with the cigarette pack TP or the like. May be.

  Furthermore, in the product display form PDF in which the pack face image PFG and the like are arranged in the system front image SFG, as shown in FIG. 12, the position sales rank PSR for each product holding position PKS is displayed in a pseudo three-dimensional graph or the like. It may be output.

  In this case, although it is difficult to accurately grasp the position sales rank PSR, the position sales rank PSR for each product holding position PKS can be intuitively grasped for each pack face image PFG or the like by the display image.

  Further, in the data processing device 800 as described above, the position ranking unit 840 acquires the number of products sold for each product holding position PKS in a predetermined period as the position sales ranking PSR, and the product storage unit 820 stores the cigarette pack TP and Prediction calculation unit that stores the product sales unit price for each cigarette carton TK and brick pack BP, and calculates the expected position sales by multiplying the product sales number and the product sales unit price for each product holding position PKS corresponding to the product display form PDF And a predicted display unit that displays and outputs the calculated predicted position sales for each product holding position PKS of the system front image SFG (not shown). In this case, it is possible to confirm the predicted position sales for each product holding position PKS such as the cigarette pack TP by the product display form PDF generated as described above.
