It is a figure which shows the flow of the content display process in the content display system S which is 1st Embodiment of this invention. It is a flowchart showing reception history creation processing. It is a graph which shows a time-dependent change of radio field intensity. It is a graph which shows transition of an action point. It is a figure which shows the flow of the content display process in the content display system S which is 2nd Embodiment of this invention.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a flow of content display processing in the content display system S according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  The content display system (hereinafter referred to as “display system”) S includes a web server device 1, a signage terminal device 2, a mobile terminal device 3, a signage viewing history database (DB) 4, and a personal computer (PC) 5. Is done.

  The web server device 1 is a content distribution server device, and transmits image content and a display schedule to the signage terminal device 2. The image content includes a plurality of image data of images to be displayed by the signage terminal device 2. The image to be displayed by the signage terminal device 2 is an information image representing various information such as advertisement information or contact information, and the image content basically includes a plurality of image data for displaying a plurality of information images. include. The display schedule indicates in what order and in which period the signage terminal device 2 displays an image based on the image data included in the image content.

  The signage terminal device 2 is a content display device and displays a plurality of information images based on image content. When the signage terminal device 2 receives the image content and the display schedule from the web server device 1, the display of the information image is included in the image content according to the received display schedule according to the order and period indicated in the display schedule. An information image based on the image data is displayed.

  Image identification information, which is identification information capable of identifying each image data, is attached to the image data included in the image content. As described above, the signage terminal device 2 displays an image based on the image data included in the image content according to the display schedule. At this time, the image currently displayed on the signage terminal device 2 can be identified. Image identification information attached to the image data of the displayed image is transmitted by wireless communication. Since the period for displaying the image based on the image data included in the image content is determined in advance by the display schedule, the image is displayed and displayed during the image display period determined for each image data. The image identification information attached to the image data may be transmitted.

  The image identification information transmitted from the signage terminal device 2 is received by the mobile terminal device 3, but based on the image data identified by the image identification information when the mobile terminal device 3 receives the image identification information. Then, it is estimated that the user carrying the mobile terminal device 3 has seen the image displayed on the signage terminal device 2.

  Accordingly, the transmission of the image identification information is performed by a user who is within a distance that allows viewing of the image displayed on the signage terminal device 2, that is, a mobile phone that is present within a distance that allows viewing of the image displayed on the signage terminal device 2. This must be done so that the terminal device 3 can receive. If the image identification information is transmitted to the mobile terminal device 3 of the user who cannot view the displayed image, it cannot be assumed that the user has viewed the image displayed on the signage terminal device 2.

  Further, the image identification information is not transmitted to the specific portable terminal device 3 but must be transmitted to the unspecified portable terminal device 3 that moves in the vicinity of the signage terminal device 2 like broadcast transmission. I must. The unspecified mobile terminal device 3 referred to here is not only the unspecified mobile terminal device 3 that has not been registered in the web server device 1 in advance, but also for viewing image content on the PC 5 again. Although it is the portable terminal device 3 registered in the web server device 1 in advance, when it exists in the vicinity of the signage terminal device 2, it is logged in to the web server device 1 or a network group including the web server device 1 The mobile terminal device 3 that is not in a specific state, such as belonging to, is also included.

As a communication method capable of so-called short-range wireless communication that satisfies such a distance condition and a transmission destination condition, for example, a communication method of the IEEE 802.11 standard,
There is a communication system of the Bluetooth (registered trademark) standard. In the case of the IEEE 802.11 standard, the wireless communication distance is about several tens of meters, and in the case of the Bluetooth (registered trademark) standard, the wireless communication distance is about 10 m to 100 m.

  Further, although details will be described later, the estimation of whether the user carrying the mobile terminal device 3 has seen the image displayed on the signage terminal device 2 can be made using, for example, these communication methods, If the mobile terminal device 3 can receive the radio wave transmitted from the signage terminal device 2, it may be estimated that it has been viewed, and if it cannot be received, it may be estimated that it has not been viewed. Using the physical phenomenon that the radio wave intensity of the received radio wave is attenuated according to the distance from the radio wave source, the average radio wave intensity of the received radio wave at the maximum distance at which the image displayed on the signage terminal device 2 can be viewed. A value is set in advance as a threshold, and if the radio wave intensity when the mobile terminal device 3 receives radio waves from the signage terminal device 2 is greater than or equal to the threshold, it is assumed that it has been seen, and if it is less than the threshold, it is not seen You may guess.

  The mobile terminal device 3 is realized by a mobile phone device, a mobile information terminal device, or the like, and has a function of receiving at least image identification information from the signage terminal device 2, a function of creating a history of the received image identification device, and a created history As well as an image display function for displaying various images, a telephone call function for performing telephone communication, and the like in the display system of the present invention. Although the apparatus 3 may have, it is not an essential function.

  The mobile terminal device 3 transmits the created history to the signage viewing history DB 4 via a network N such as a mobile communication network. At this time, user identification information such as a user ID for identifying the user of the mobile terminal device 3 is transmitted in association with the created history so that the user of the mobile terminal device 3 that has transmitted the history can identify later.

  The signage viewing history DB 4 stores the history transmitted from the mobile terminal device 3 and the user identification information in association with each other. The signage viewing history DB transmits the stored history to the web server device 1 in response to an inquiry from the web server device 1.

  The PC 5 is an information processing apparatus including a display device such as a liquid crystal display, a computer having a communication function with the web server device 1, and an input device such as a keyboard, a mouse, and a touch panel. The PC 5 receives the image content from the web server device 1 and displays an image based on the image content on the display device so that the user can later confirm the image content displayed on the signage terminal device 2.

  Since the signage terminal device 2 displays the information image according to the display schedule regardless of the convenience of the user who views the displayed information, the user views the information image displayed on the signage terminal device 2 in detail. It ’s difficult. When the user sees the displayed information image, only a part of the information can be seen, and when the display is switched to another information image, the same information image is displayed again according to the display schedule. It is possible to wait until it is displayed and check the details, but it is unknown to the user whether the same information image is displayed again, and if it is displayed, it is unknown when it is displayed Therefore, there is no choice but to leave from the front of the signage terminal device 2.

  In such a case, if an information image based on the image content displayed on the signage terminal device 2 is displayed on the display device of the PC 5 later, the user can view the information image displayed on the signage terminal device 2. Details can be reconfirmed.

  Since the image content of the information image displayed on the signage terminal device 2 is composed of a plurality of image data, when the information image is displayed on the display device of the PC 5 later, all the information images based on the image content can be displayed. Thus, the user has to select the information image he / she wants to see in detail from the plurality of information images.

  Therefore, in the display system of the present invention, it is presumed that the user has viewed the image data of the image content using the history created by the mobile terminal device 3 and stored in the signage viewing history DB 4. The image data is transmitted to the PC 5 separately from the image data that is estimated to be not viewed by the user.

  In PC5, when displaying the information image based on the image data presumed to have been viewed by the user, the user treats the information image displayed on the signage terminal device 2 as viewed. Similarly, when displaying an information image based on image data that is estimated not to be viewed by the user, the user is treated as not viewing the information image displayed on the signage terminal device 2.

  The user does not need to search for the information image that he wants to see in detail from the image content by relying on his / her own memory, and can simply check the information image handled as viewed by the user. The load on the user when confirming the information image is greatly reduced.

Hereinafter, content display processing in the display system S will be described in detail.
The web server device 1 manages image content to be displayed on the signage terminal device 2, and displays the image content and a display schedule for displaying the image content on the signage terminal device 2 as necessary. (Processing A1).

  The signage terminal device 2 is configured to be capable of data communication with the web server device 1 and receives image content and a display schedule transmitted from the web server device 1. The signage terminal device 2 stores the received image content and display schedule.

  The signage terminal device 2 interprets the content of the display schedule and displays an information image based on the image data included in the image content on a large display according to the interpreted content. In the display schedule, the order to be displayed and the period to be displayed are set for the image data included in the image content. The signage terminal device 2 displays one information image on the display continuously from the start to the end of the set display period, and when the display period ends, the image data to be displayed next based on the display order And an image based on the selected image data is displayed on the display for the set display period. Such display is repeated for all image data included in the image content, and when the image display period based on the image data last set as the display order ends, the display order is set first. Display of an image based on the image data is started.

  While the signage terminal device 2 displays an image on the display during the set display period, the signage terminal device 2 sends image identification information attached to the image data of the displayed image to the mobile terminal device 3 by wireless communication. Transmit (process A2). The image identification information is continuously transmitted over the entire image display period based on one image data. The timing at which the mobile terminal device that receives the image identification information can receive the image identification information during the display period, that is, the distance from the signage terminal device 2 approaches the distance that enables wireless communication. Since it cannot be predicted, it is preferable to continue to transmit the image identification information during the display period.

  Here, continuously transmitting means transmitting the same image identification information repeatedly, for example, in units of several milliseconds to several hundred milliseconds.

  The mobile terminal device 3 is assumed to be carried by the user of the mobile terminal device 3, and when the mobile terminal device 3 receives image identification information wirelessly transmitted from the signage terminal device 2, the received mobile terminal device 3 It can be inferred that the user who was carrying the mobile phone was able to view at least the information image displayed on the signage terminal device 2.

  When receiving the image identification information transmitted from the signage terminal device 2, the portable terminal device 3 creates and stores a reception history of the received image identification information (process A3). For example, when the user stays in the vicinity of the signage terminal device 2 for a certain period of time, the image displayed by the signage terminal device 2 may be switched while the user stays there. When the display period of one display image ends and the display period of the next information image starts and the information image displayed by the signage terminal device 2 is switched, the image identification attached to the image data of the switched information image Information is newly transmitted from the signage terminal apparatus 2. When the newly transmitted image identification information is also received by the mobile terminal device 3, in addition to the previously received image identification information, the newly received image identification information is also stored as a reception history.

  Therefore, as the user stays for a long time so as to see the information display displayed by the signage terminal device 2, the received image identification information increases, and the image identification information left in the reception history created by the mobile terminal device 3 also increases. .

  In the present embodiment, when the reception history is created, all the information from the first received image identification information to the last received image identification information is left as the reception history. The image identification information received last is determined as follows, for example. Since the signage terminal device 2 continuously transmits the image identification information attached to the image data of the displayed information image while displaying one information image, the portable terminal device 3 is connected to the signage terminal device. While it is in the vicinity of 2, the image identification information is continuously received. If the user moves away from the signage terminal device 2 and moves to such a distance that the information image cannot be viewed, the mobile terminal device 3 cannot receive the image identification information from the signage terminal device 2. When the mobile terminal device 3 becomes unable to receive the image identification information from the signage terminal device 2, the image identification information received so far is determined as the image identification information received last.

  The reception history of the image identification information created by the mobile terminal device 3 in this way is transmitted as a viewing history from the mobile terminal device 3 to the signage viewing history DB 4 via the network N (process A4). At this time, together with the reception history, user identification information registered in advance in the mobile terminal device 3 is transmitted to the signage viewing history DB 4 in association with the reception history.

  Note that the user identification information only needs to be able to identify the user of the mobile terminal device 3 that has created the reception history. Therefore, when browsing image content on the PC 5, the user identification information is a user ID for logging in to the web server device 1. It may be device identification information that can identify the mobile terminal device from other devices, such as a manufacturing number of the mobile terminal device 3 or a single address assigned to the mobile terminal device 3.

  When the user wants to confirm the information image again after viewing the information image displayed on the signage terminal device 2, he / she operates the PC 5 (process A5) to the web server device 1 managing the image content. A request is made to access the image content PC 5 from the web server device 1 (process A6).

  The image content may be displayed in any display form, but the web server device 1 creates a web page in which the image data included in the image content is embedded, and the PC 5 receives the created web page, The web page received by a browser or the like that displays the web page is displayed.

  When accessing the web server device 1 from the PC 5, the user ID is used to log in to the web server device 1, and in the logged-in state, transmission of image content to the PC 5 is requested. When the web server device 1 receives a request for transmission of image content from the PC 5, the web server device 1 inquires the signage viewing history DB 4 as to whether or not there is a viewing history for the requested image content. There are a plurality of users who are viewing the information image displayed on the signage terminal device 2, that is, a mobile phone that receives image identification information, creates a reception history, and transmits the reception history to the signage viewing history DB 4 Since there are a plurality of terminal apparatuses 3, the signage viewing history DB 4 stores the user identification information in association with the reception history as described above, and can identify which user's reception history. ing.

  When the web server device 1 inquires of the signage viewing history DB 4 whether or not there is a reception history, it is necessary to transmit the user ID used when the PC 5 logs in to the web server device 1 to the signage viewing history DB 4.

  In response to the inquiry, the signage viewing history DB 4 selects a reception history stored in association with the user ID transmitted from the web server device 1, and transmits the selected reception history to the web server device 1 as the inquiry source. (Process A7).

  When the web server device 1 receives the reception history, based on the reception history, the image that is presumed that the user has seen the information image displayed on the signage terminal device 2 on the plurality of image data included in the image content. A distinction is made between already-read image data, which is data, and unread image data, which is image data presumed that the user is not looking at the information image displayed on the signage terminal device 2.

  When the web server device 1 creates the web page in which the image data included in the image content is embedded, the already-read image data and the unread image data distinguished as described above can be seen with the user's eyes. The display mode is changed between the read image data and the unread image data, and is transmitted to the PC 5 (process A8).

  For example, a web page for displaying image content is not a web page that displays all image data included in the image content, but a title is set for each information image and only the title is displayed in a list. Create a simple web page and set a link to the image data for each title. A user who wants to browse image content first looks at a title list set for each image data of the image content, and selects a title for which an information image is to be displayed from the list.

  In this title list, the display mode of the title set in the read image data is different from the display mode of the title set in the unread image data. For example, the title set for the read image data is displayed in red, and the title set for the unread image data is displayed in blue.

  The user can easily select the information image viewed in the signage terminal device 2 by selecting the title displayed in red representing the read from the titles displayed on the PC 5, to the PC 5. Can be displayed.

  Also, in the title list, only the titles set in the read image data may be collected to create a signage viewed list that is another title list.

  In the present embodiment, it has been described that the mobile terminal device 3 creates a reception history including all of the received image identification information and transmits the reception history to the signage viewing history DB 4. It is not necessary to include all of the information.

  For example, in a state where the user is away from the signage terminal device 2 and is at a maximum distance that can receive the image identification information, even if the mobile terminal device 3 receives the image identification information, it is displayed on the signage terminal device 2 at that time. It is unlikely that the user has viewed the information image. Therefore, it is preferable to create a reception history including only image identification information satisfying a predetermined condition among the received image identification information.

  The predetermined condition is a condition that allows the user to determine that there is a high possibility that the user has seen the information image displayed on the signage terminal device 2, and a condition based on the communication state when the image identification information is received from the signage terminal device 2. It is.

In step S <b> 1, it is determined whether radio communication radio waves for transmitting image identification information have arrived from the signage terminal device 2. If the radio wave has not arrived at the mobile terminal device 3, the process proceeds to step S4, and if it has arrived, the process proceeds to step S2. Whether the radio wave has arrived is determined by whether the reception intensity of the radio wave exceeds a certain level.

  In step S2, the intensity of the radio wave that received the image identification information and the reception time when the radio wave was received are measured. The measured radio wave intensity is measured, for example, like a graph showing the time-dependent change in radio wave intensity in FIG.

  In step S3, the user's behavior during the radio wave reception time is estimated. The user's behavior is, for example, whether the user is moving or the user is operating the mobile terminal device 3. Such behavior estimation is performed based on, for example, the detection value of the acceleration sensor, the inclination of the mobile terminal device, the presence / absence of the operation of the touch panel and keys, as described in JP2012-88809A. The

  In the radio wave reception time, action points are set when the user is estimated to be performing some action and when the user is estimated not to behave, and the action is performed at regular intervals during the actual radio wave reception time. And an action point is determined based on the result. For example, when it is estimated that the user is performing some action, the action point is 2 points, and when it is estimated that the user is not acting, the action point is estimated to be 1 point. Make it high. The transition of action points is represented, for example, by a graph showing the transition of action points shown in FIG. When the estimation of the user's behavior is completed, the process returns to step S1.

  In step S4, threshold values for reception intensity and reception time are determined. In determining the threshold value, the action points in the reception time are totaled, and the threshold value is calculated by multiplying the total value by a predetermined coefficient.

  In step S5, the threshold value calculated based on the estimated behavior of the user in step S4 is compared with the integrated value of the radio wave intensity (corresponding to the area surrounded by the curve and the time axis in the graph of FIG. 3). If the integrated value of the intensity is larger than the threshold value, it is assumed that the user is likely to have seen the information image displayed on the signage terminal device 2 in step S6, and the image identification information received during the radio wave reception time is received history. Included.

  In the flowchart shown in FIG. 2, after determining that the radio wave has arrived in step S1, the image identification information received during the radio wave reception time is collectively determined in steps S5 and S6, and a reception history is created. However, the present invention is not limited to such processing.

  For example, for each piece of image identification information received during the radio wave reception time, the processing of S4 to S6 is performed according to each reception time, so that the image identification information is individually determined, and a reception history is created according to the determination result May be.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a flow of content display processing in the content display system S according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

  The difference between the first embodiment and the second embodiment is that, in the first embodiment, the mobile terminal device 3 creates a viewing history of image content, whereas in the second embodiment, the viewing history is a signage terminal. This is a point created by the device 2A.

  The web server device 1 transmits image content and a display schedule for displaying the image content on the signage terminal device 2 as needed to the signage terminal device 2 (processing B1).

  The signage terminal device 2 receives the image content and the display schedule transmitted from the web server device 1, and stores the received image content and the display schedule.

  The signage terminal device 2A displays an information image based on the image data included in the image content according to the display schedule.

  The signage terminal device 2A requests the mobile terminal device 3A to transmit the terminal identification information or the user ID by wireless communication while displaying an image on the display during the set display period, and receives the request. The portable terminal device 3 transmits the device identification information or the user ID to the signage terminal device 2A as the request source (processing B2). The wireless communication in which the signage terminal device 2A transmits a transmission request to the mobile terminal device 3 uses the same communication method as the communication method in which the signage terminal device 2 transmits image identification information to the mobile terminal device 3 in the first embodiment. .

  When the signage terminal device 2A receives the device identification information from the mobile terminal device 3, this indicates that the mobile terminal device 3A was able to receive the transmission request from the signage terminal device 2A. This means that the mobile terminal device 3A exists in the vicinity of the signage terminal device 2. Therefore, when the signage terminal device 2A receives the device identification information or the user ID from the portable terminal device 3A, the image identification information attached to the image data of the image displayed on the display at that time is left as a viewing history. (Process B3).

  When the signage terminal device 2 receives the device identification information or the user ID from the portable terminal device 3A when the information image to be displayed is switched according to the display schedule, the image identification based on the image data of the information image whose display is switched Add information to your viewing history. This is repeated every time the information image to be displayed is switched, and each time device identification information or a user ID is received from the mobile terminal device 3A, the image identification information based on the image data of the information image displayed at that time is viewed in the viewing history. In addition, a viewing history is created and stored.

  In the present embodiment, in creating the viewing history, everything from the image identification information when the device identification information is first received to the image identification information when the device identification information is last received is left as the viewing history.

  The viewing history of the image identification information created by the mobile terminal device 3 in this way is transmitted from the signage terminal device 2A to the signage viewing history DB 4 (process B4). At this time, the device identification information or user ID received from the mobile terminal device 3A is transmitted to the signage viewing history DB 4 in association with the viewing history together with the reception history.

  When the user wants to confirm the information image again after seeing the information image displayed on the signage terminal device 2, he / she operates the PC 5 (Process B5) to the web server device 1 managing the image content. Access is made and a request is made to transmit image content from the web server device 1 to the PC 5 (process B6).

  As in the first embodiment, the image content is displayed by the PC 5 displaying a web page in which image data included in the image content is embedded.

  When accessing the web server device 1 from the PC 5, the user ID is used to log in to the web server device 1, and in the logged-in state, transmission of image content to the PC 5 is requested. When the web server device 1 receives a request for transmission of image content from the PC 5, the web server device 1 inquires the signage viewing history DB 4 as to whether or not there is a viewing history for the requested image content.

  When the web server device 1 inquires of the signage viewing history DB 4 whether or not there is a reception history, it is necessary to transmit the user ID used when the PC 5 logs into the web server device 1 to the signage viewing history DB 4. Alternatively, the device identification information of the mobile terminal device 3A is input, and the input device identification information is transmitted to the signage viewing history DB 4.

  In response to the inquiry, the signage viewing history DB 4 selects a viewing history stored in association with the user ID or the device identification information transmitted from the web server device 1, and the selected viewing history is used as the web server device that is the inquiry source. 1 (process B7).

  When receiving the viewing history, the web server device 1 distinguishes the plurality of image data included in the image content into the read image data and the unread image data based on the viewing history.

  When the web server device 1 creates a web page in which the image data included in the image content is embedded, the read image data is read so that the distinguished read image data and unread image data can be seen by the user. And the unread image data are generated in different display modes and transmitted to the PC 5 (process B8).

  For example, the user looks at the title list set for each image data of the image content, and selects the title for which the information image is to be displayed from the list. In this title list, the display mode of the title set in the read image data is different from the display mode of the title set in the unread image data.

  The user can easily select the information image viewed in the signage terminal device 2 by selecting the title displayed in red representing the read from the titles displayed on the PC 5, to the PC 5. Can be displayed.

  In this embodiment as well, as in the first embodiment, the viewing history does not have to include all of the image identification information when the device identification information is received, and an image that satisfies the conditions based on the radio wave reception state. It is preferable to create a viewing history including only identification information.
