<< Fourth Embodiment >>
In addition to the configuration of the CM material presence management system of the first embodiment, the second embodiment, or the third embodiment, the CM material presence management system of the present embodiment further has the following configuration.

  A code included in the material information is attached to each CM material by the advertising company (in charge of production). Since this code is information for identifying each CM material, it is preferably unique. However, there is a case where a code whose uniqueness is not guaranteed is attached to the CM material. That is, the same code may be attached to different CM materials.

  In such a case, if the material management database is collated by relying only on the code included in the material information and a predetermined update process is performed, an erroneous update process may be performed. In the present embodiment, in consideration of such a situation, a configuration for appropriately updating the material management database is provided. In the following description, the code is described as “10-digit code”, but the present invention is not limited to this.

  Hereinafter, the detailed configuration of the present embodiment will be described, but only the points different from the first to third embodiments will be described, and the description of the same points as those of the embodiments will be omitted. Note that the functional block diagram of the CM material location management system of this embodiment can be the same as that described in the first to third embodiments, for example.

  First, FIG. 14 shows an example of the configuration of the material information of this embodiment. The material information shown includes unique guarantee information in addition to the 10-digit code, the material name, and the production company name. The unique guarantee information is information indicating whether or not the 10-digit code included in the material information is guaranteed to be unique.

  For example, when a 10-digit code that has been confirmed to be unique is attached to a CM material, the advertising company (production staff) must ensure that the 10-digit code guarantees uniqueness in the material information of the CM material. The information shown (unique guarantee information) is attached. On the other hand, when a 10-digit code that has not been confirmed to be unique is attached to the CM material, the advertising company (in charge of production) does not guarantee the uniqueness of the 10-digit code for the material information of the CM material. Information (unique guarantee information) is attached.

  Next, an example of the flow of update processing by the update unit 16 of the distribution data management apparatus 10 will be described using the flowchart of FIG.

  For example, when the second carry-in information acquisition unit 17 obtains the second carry-in information (see FIG. 5) (S10), the update unit 16 uses the 10-digit code of the material information included in the second carry-in information as a key. The management database is searched (S20). If the 10-digit code of the key is not found in the material management database (No in S30), the material information is newly registered in the material management database, and the acquired second information is associated with the material information. Information indicating that the CM material specified by the material information has been transferred is registered in the broadcasting station specified by the broadcast station identification information included in the carry-in information (S50).

  On the other hand, when the 10-digit code of the key is found in the material management database (Yes in S30), the update unit 16 guarantees the uniqueness of the material information included in the second carry-in information acquired in S10. It is confirmed whether or not the unique guarantee information indicating that it is to be included is included.

  If included (Yes in S35), the update unit 16 associates with the material information already registered in the material management database, and determines the broadcast station identified by the broadcast station identification information included in the acquired second carry-in information. Information indicating that the CM material specified by the material information is carried in is registered (S40).

  On the other hand, if not included (No in S35), the updating unit 16 includes the broadcast station included in the acquired second carry-in information so as to be distinguishable from the information associated with the material information already registered in the material management database. Information indicating that the CM material specified by the material information has been loaded is registered in the broadcasting station specified by the identification information (S60).

  Here, FIG. 16 shows an example of the configuration of material management data managed by the material management database of the present embodiment. In the illustrated material management data, three broadcast stations are associated with one piece of material information, and information on “present or non-present” is associated with each broadcast station. Since these pieces of information are as described in the first to third embodiments, descriptions thereof are omitted here. The material information included in the material management data does not include unique guarantee information.

  Here, in FIG. 16, two C stations are associated with one piece of material information. In the case of this example, it can be seen that different CM materials with the same 10-digit code are carried into station C. One is a CM material with a 10-digit code guaranteed uniqueness, and the other is a CM material with a 10-digit code not guaranteed uniqueness.

  The upper station C is provided with “in-station” information indicating that the CM material with the 10-digit code included in the material information shown in the figure has been carried in, and with “unconfirmed” information. ing. This is material information (see FIG. 14) included in information (first carry-in information (see FIG. 4) or second carry-in information (see FIG. 5)) indicating that the CM material has been carried into the C station. Indicates that the unique guarantee information indicating that the uniqueness of the 10-digit code is guaranteed is not included.

  On the other hand, the lower station C is provided with “in-station” information indicating that the CM material with the 10-digit code included in the illustrated material information has been loaded, and “unconfirmed” information. Is not attached. This is material information (see FIG. 14) included in information (first carry-in information (see FIG. 4) or second carry-in information (see FIG. 5)) indicating that the CM material has been carried into the C station. Indicates that the unique guarantee information indicating that the uniqueness of the 10-digit code is guaranteed is included.

  In the present embodiment, the CM materials are different from each other. However, even when a plurality of CM materials with the same 10-digit code are carried into the same broadcasting station, the CM information is based on the unique guarantee information included in the material information. These CM materials can be identified. And as shown in FIG. 16, these can be registered in the material management database so that identification is possible.

  For this reason, according to the CM material location management system of the present embodiment, it is possible to reduce the inconvenience of erroneous processing of updating the material management database. Then, by using such a material management database, it is possible to efficiently confirm whether or not content data of a certain CM is carried into a certain broadcasting station.

  For example, when the first carry-in information acquisition unit 15 obtains the first carry-in information (see FIG. 4) (S10), the update unit 16 uses the 10-digit code of the material information included in the first carry-in information as a key. The management database is searched (S20). If the 10-digit code of the key is not found in the material management database (No in S30), the material information is newly registered in the material management database, and is obtained in association with the material information. Information indicating that the CM material specified by the material information has been transferred is registered in the broadcasting station specified by the broadcast station identification information included in the carry-in information (S50). At this time, the updating unit 16 determines whether the material information included in the acquired first carry-in information includes unique guarantee information indicating that the uniqueness of the 10-digit code included in the material information is guaranteed. And information indicating whether or not the uniqueness of the 10-digit code is guaranteed may be attached to the broadcasting station.

  On the other hand, when the 10-digit code of the key is found in the material management database (Yes in S30), the update unit 16 adds the material information included in the first carry-in information acquired in S10 to the material information. It is confirmed whether or not unique guarantee information indicating that the uniqueness of the included 10-digit code is guaranteed is included.

  When included (Yes in S35), the update unit 16 associates with the material information already registered in the material management database and identifies the broadcast station identified by the broadcast station identification information included in the acquired first carry-in information. Information indicating that the CM material specified by the material information is carried in is registered (S40). Note that, as shown in FIG. 21, when the information “scheduled to carry in” is attached to the broadcasting station, “scheduled to carry in” is changed (updated) to “station”.

  On the other hand, if not included (No in S35), the updating unit 16 identifies the broadcasting station included in the acquired carry-in advance notice information so as to be identifiable from the information associated with the material information already registered in the material management database. Information indicating that the CM material specified by the material information is carried in is registered in the broadcasting station specified by the information.

  In addition, also when the 2nd carrying-in information acquisition part 15 acquires 2nd carrying-in information (refer FIG. 5), the update part 16 can perform an update process in the same flow.
