(Configuration of the first embodiment)
Hereinafter, an embodiment for carrying out the present invention (hereinafter simply referred to as the present embodiment) will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the location information service system 1000 according to the first embodiment is installed in an arbitrary place of a commercial facility (hereinafter also simply referred to as a facility) such as a restaurant, a hotel, or various stores. One or more electronic tag transmitters 10, a provider management server 50 managed and operated by a location information service provider (hereinafter simply referred to as a provider), and the provider management server 50 are a network (mobile network 30). And one or more portable information terminals 20 such as smartphones connected via the network. The mobile network 30 is also connected to a facility management apparatus (facility management server 40) managed and operated by a commercial facility.

  In the above-described configuration, the electronic tag transmitting device 10 uses the radio wave to transmit first identification information (a shipment ID number (serial ID) described later) by radio waves so as to specify a common application to be executed by each of the plurality of portable information terminals 20. Broadcast transmission. Here, the first identification information (serial ID) is a unique number assigned uniquely for each electronic tag transmitting device. Then, the business operator management server 50 receives the inquiry based on the first identification information received by the portable information terminal 20 and indexes the built-in database so that the portable information terminal 20 manages the first identification information. It converts into the 2nd identification information (application identification information mentioned later), and transmits to the portable information terminal 20 which was inquired. In response to this, the portable information terminal 20 executes the application based on the second identification information and receives the facility information or service distributed from the facility management server 40.

  An example of the data structure of the database built in the business operator management server 50 is shown in FIG. The database includes application identification information and facility information that can be recognized by a common application executed by a plurality of portable information terminals 20 with a serial ID uniquely assigned to each electronic tag transmission device 10 installed in a commercial facility. And are stored. The facility information includes facility information, a facility name, an address, guidance information including a URL (Uniform Resource Locator), and the like.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the electronic tag transmitter 10 includes a control unit 100 and an RF (Radio Frequency) unit 101. The RF unit 101 is a high-frequency circuit that generates high-frequency energy for generating radio waves including a signal source, a modulation circuit, and a power amplifier (not shown). In the present embodiment, a 2.4 GHz band frequency is used and a Bluetooth (registered trademark) -equipped device (portable information terminal 20) located within a radius of 10 to 100 m is generated under the control of the control unit 100. Send radio waves. Here, the specification is unidirectional transmission conforming to the Bluetooth (registered trademark) standard of version 4.0 that can be driven for several years with only one button battery.

  The control unit 100 broadcasts and transmits a serial ID that identifies a common application executed by the portable information terminal 20. At this time, the serial ID is encrypted with one or more encryption patterns, and indicates the type of the encryption pattern. Add information and send. Therefore, the control unit 100 performs control to superimpose and transmit the first identification information having the data format shown in FIG. 2B on the radio wave generated by the RF unit 101.

  According to FIG. 2B, the first identification information is composed of 16-byte data. That is, an identifier indicating that the electronic tag is in the first byte, an encryption method indicating the type of the encryption pattern in the next 1 byte, a serial ID unique to the electronic tag transmitting device 10 in the next 13 bytes, and the last ID A check digit is assigned to one byte. Note that the 13-byte area of the serial ID can be used as a data area according to the identifier information, which is effective when there is an external interface, for example.

  In addition, the control unit 100 transmits the first identification information including the serial ID in a cycle of n seconds, and randomly transmits a cycle of transmission with a shift of m seconds (where n> m). Also do. This is because when a plurality of electronic tag transmitters 10 transmit radio waves simultaneously, even if the portable information terminal 20 processes data from one electronic tag transmitter 10, data from the other electronic tag transmitter 10 cannot be processed. Due to falling into a situation. That is, in the specification of Bluetooth (registered trademark), when a collision (access collision) occurs, the first received one is processed preferentially and the one that is slightly delayed may not be processed. For this reason, for example, a transmission cycle of 2 seconds is set, and a period shifted from 0.5 seconds to 1 second, for example, is inserted therein, so that a plurality of electronic tag transmission devices 10 transmit radio waves simultaneously. The risk that the other cannot be processed can be avoided.

  The data transmitted by the electronic tag transmission device 10 is required to be changed periodically in order to prevent unauthorized use due to interception. Therefore, the risk of eavesdropping can be reduced by performing a process of automatically changing the encryption method over a certain period.

  FIG. 4 shows the configuration of the portable information terminal 20 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. According to FIG. 4, the portable information terminal 20 includes a control unit 200, a storage unit 210, a communication unit 220, an operation unit 230, a display unit 240, and a short-range wireless communication unit 250.

It recognizes and executes the function as the portable information terminal 20 that executes the application specified by the recognized serial ID.

  For this reason, if the function of the terminal program executed by the control unit 200 is shown in a block expanded manner, one or more portable information terminals broadcasted by radio waves from the electronic tag transmission device 10 installed at an arbitrary place in a commercial facility The identification information recognition unit 201 that acquires and recognizes the first identification information (serial ID) that identifies the common application executed by the computer 20 and the operator management server 50 are inquired based on the recognized first identification information. An application execution control unit 202 that receives the second identification information (application identification information) that is converted and transmitted by the business entity management server 50 and executes the corresponding application based on the received second identification information; including. The control unit 200 may measure the radio wave intensity of the radio wave received from the electronic tag transmitter 10 and execute an application that differs depending on the radio wave intensity. For this reason, the structure containing the radio field intensity measurement part 203 which measures a radio field intensity (RSSI: Received Signal Strength Indication) is also considered.

  In the storage unit 210, a work area and a VRAM (Video RAM) area are allocated and stored in addition to the program area in which the terminal program according to the present embodiment is stored. The terminal program stored in the program area specifies a common application that is executed by one or more portable information terminals 20 that are broadcast-transmitted by radio waves from the electronic tag transmission device 10 installed at an arbitrary location in a commercial facility. The processing procedure for receiving the identification information (serial ID) 1 and the second identification information (application identification) that is sent to the operator management server 50 based on the serial ID, converted by the operator management server 50 and transmitted. Information) and a processing procedure for executing the corresponding application based on the received application identification information.

  In the work area, various data generated in the process of executing the terminal program are stored, and for example, a correspondence table between serial IDs and application identification information transmitted from the provider management server 50 is also stored. This correspondence table is updated by the control unit 200 every time access to the operator management server 50 occurs, for example. The update timing is arbitrary. Of the information to be displayed stored in the work area, screen information for the effective screen of the display unit 240 is cut out, transferred, and stored in the VRAM area. As the storage unit 210, for example, a semiconductor storage element, a magnetism, or an optical storage element is mounted.

  The communication unit 220 captures a wireless communication system, performs wireless communication with a base station (not shown) connected to the mobile network 30, and transmits and receives various data. Here, the various data includes voice data at the time of voice call, mail data at the time of mail transmission / reception, Web page data at the time of browsing the Web (World Wide Web), and the like. The communication unit 220 performs communication with the facility management server 40 or the operator management server 50 via the mobile network 30 according to a protocol compliant with TCP / IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol), for example.

  The operation unit 230 includes, for example, key switches to which various functions such as a power key, a call key, a numeric key, a character key, a direction key (left / right / up / down), a determination key, and a call key are assigned. When the key is operated by the user, a signal corresponding to the operation content is generated and output to the control unit 200 as a user instruction. The display unit 240 is configured using, for example, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display Device) or an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence), which is configured by arranging a large number of pixels (a combination of light emitting elements of a plurality of colors) vertically and horizontally. The information generated by the control unit 200 and written in a predetermined area (VRAM area) of the storage unit 210 is displayed.

  The operation unit 230 and the display unit 240 described above may be realized by a touch panel. In this case, the user activates the application by selecting and operating the application icon displayed on the touch panel, and displays, for example, the images shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B as the execution result of the application. Can do. Details will be described later.

  The short-range wireless communication unit 250 receives the radio wave transmitted by the electronic tag transmission device 10, extracts the first identification information superimposed, and delivers it to the control unit 200. The short-range wireless communication unit 250 performs communication in accordance with Bluetooth (registered trademark), originally dividing the 2.4 GHz band into 79 frequency channels and performing frequency hopping that randomly changes the frequency to be used. Two-way wireless communication is possible at a maximum of 24 bps with other Bluetooth (registered trademark) devices (portable information terminals 20) located within a radius of 10 to 100 m, but here, from the electronic tag transmitter 10 according to the same standard. Only one-way wireless communication for receiving radio waves will be used.

(Operation of the first embodiment)
Hereinafter, the operation of the portable information terminal 20 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  When the portable information terminal 20 is turned on, the short-range wireless communication unit 250 starts monitoring radio waves transmitted from the electronic tag transmitter 10 (step S101). When the short-range wireless communication unit 250 detects reception of a radio wave (step S101 “Yes”), it superimposes on this radio wave and controls the first identification information (serial ID) having the data format shown in FIG. Delivered to part 200. In response to this, when the identification information recognition unit 201 acquires the first identification information (serial ID) and refers to the identifier indicated in the first byte, the control unit 200 identifies the electronic tag (step S102). “Yes”), the subsequent serial ID is decrypted based on the encryption pattern defined by the encryption method and delivered to the application execution control unit 202 (step S103).

  The application execution control unit 202 activates the communication unit 220, connects to the operator management server 50 via the mobile network 30, and inquires for application identification information based on the decrypted serial ID (step S104). Upon receiving the inquiry, the business management server 50 indexes the database whose data format is shown in FIG. 2A using the decrypted serial ID as a key. As a result, it is converted into application identification information unique to the requested portable information terminal 20, and the application identification information is transmitted to the requested portable information terminal 20 via the mobile network 30.

  When the application execution control unit 202 acquires the application identification information received via the communication unit 220 (step S105 “Yes”), the application execution control unit 202 temporarily stores it in a predetermined area of the storage unit 210 (step S106). Note that the radio wave intensity measurement unit 203 constantly measures the RSSI of the radio wave received in step S101 and passes the result to the application execution control unit 202. When the user detects a selection operation of the operation unit 230 based on the previously received application identification information, that is, a so-called application activation operation, from the application icons displayed on the display unit 240 (step S107 “Yes”), the application is executed. The control unit 202 compares the RSSI of the radio wave measured by the radio wave intensity measurement unit 203 with the RSSI set in advance as a threshold (step S108).

  Here, when the RSSI of the received radio wave is equal to or larger than the set threshold (step S108 “Yes”), the application execution control unit 202 generates the screen information shown in FIG. 6A, for example, and stores the VRAM in the storage unit 210. Write to the area. Subsequently, the display unit 240 reads the screen information written in the storage unit 210 in synchronization with the display timing of the display device, and displays a page with a coupon distributed by the facility management server 40 (step S109). On the other hand, when the RSSI of the received radio wave is less than the set threshold value (step S108 “No”), the application execution control unit 202 generates, for example, screen information shown in FIG. Write to. Subsequently, the display unit 240 reads the screen information written in the storage unit 210 in synchronization with the display timing of the display device, and displays the acquired store information page (step S110).

  FIGS. 6A and 6B show an example of the screen configuration of the portable information terminal 20 that is generated by the application execution control unit 202 and displayed on the display unit 240. FIG. 6A is a store information page with a coupon, and FIG. 6B is a store information page. In any case, a “facility” button 601 for instructing display of commercial facility information such as a store, a “map” button 602 for displaying a guide map of the commercial facility, a photo 603 of the commercial facility, and bibliographic items such as the name and address of the commercial facility 604, an elevator icon 605a (605b) indicating the relative positional relationship between the user and the facility, and display areas for displaying the facility detailed information (606). The screen configuration differs only depending on the display pattern of the elevator icon 605a (605b) and whether or not there is a coupon display area (607) in which coupons distributed from the facility management server 40 are displayed.

  Here, for example, when the user is positioned within 3 m of the store (after entering the store) and the corresponding RSSI is measured, the elevator icon 605a and the store information page 606a with coupon shown in FIG. 6A are displayed. The On the other hand, the elevator icon 605b and the store information page 606b shown in FIG. 6 (b) are displayed when the user is positioned within 3m to 10m (before entering the store) and the corresponding RSSI is measured. To do. The threshold value is set in advance based on this idea.

(Application examples in the first embodiment)
Hereinafter, application examples of the location information service system 1000 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  An example of using a location information service system 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention in a restaurant or a hotel will be described.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing processing procedures of the check-in application and the payment application using the location information service system according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen generated by the check-in application and the payment application.

  Check-in in the present invention means that a customer visits a facility. It is assumed that the user possessing the portable information terminal 20 has previously registered personal information in the business operator management server 50. In addition, personal information may be registered in a server of a credit institution (not shown). First, the user (customer) who has the portable information terminal 20 activates a check-in application in advance before entering the store, for example, as shown in FIG. 8A (step S201). The application execution control unit 202 compares the RSSI of the radio wave measured by the radio wave intensity measurement unit 203 with the RSSI set in advance as a threshold value. Then, when the RSSI of the received radio wave is equal to or greater than the set threshold, the application execution control unit 202 transmits the radio wave information to the facility management device 40 via a predetermined network. The facility management device 40 determines that the customer has visited the store based on the received radio wave information (step S202). Next, the facility management server 40 inquires of personal information (for example, ID, name, face photograph) from the business operator management server 50 (step S203). The business entity management server 50 specifies personal information from the first identification information received by the mobile information terminal 20 owned by the customer and the second identification information converted and transmitted by the business entity management server 50, The personal information is transmitted to the facility management server 40 (step S204). The terminal of the facility management server 40 that has received the personal information displays, for example, “ID: 012345, Hanako Yamada, Visit at 12:30, Check-in” as shown in FIG. 8B. The store clerk who has confirmed the personal information can know the customer's name and face before the customer service. For example, the customer can provide high-quality services (executive services) to the customer, such as calling out to the customer by name. Yes (step S205).

  Next, settlement processing will be described. The user operates the portable information terminal 20 and issues a settlement processing request (step S206). The application execution control unit 202 stores personal information (for example, name and credit number) registered in advance in the storage unit 210 of the portable information terminal 20 and personal information at the time of check-in acquired from the business management server 50. If they match, the payment processing is authorized (step S207). When the facility management device 40 receives a request from the portable information terminal 20, the facility management device 40 communicates with the business operator management server 50, acquires information associated with electronic payment from the business operator management server 50, and is obtained by check-in determination. By adding to the personal information, the usage amount from check-in to settlement is calculated, and the result is transmitted to the portable information terminal 20. For example, as shown in FIG. 8C, a settlement display is made on the user's portable information terminal 20. If there is no problem with the contents displayed on the screen, the user inputs a password associated with the credit payment to the portable information terminal 20 and presses the execution button to perform the payment process (step S208).

  According to the above-described application, by performing check-in determination and settlement using the electronic tag transmission device 10, it is possible to determine that a customer is coming to the store before check-in, and further, the name and face can be identified. Services can be provided to customers. In addition, since the personal information of the customer is specified by collating the personal information stored in the mobile information terminal 20 of the customer with the personal information registered in the business management server 50, it is possible to present cash or a credit card. Is not necessary, and smooth settlement processing can be performed.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the route guidance application using the location information service system according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen generated by the route guidance application.

  It is assumed that the electronic tag transmitter 10 is installed at each store in a commercial facility. First, the user activates a route guidance application installed in advance on the portable information terminal 20 (step S301). Subsequently, the user inputs a destination from the operation unit 230 of the portable information terminal 20 (step S302). When the destination is set, the application execution control unit 202 acquires the corresponding route guidance map information from the facility management server 40 (step S303). Next, the application execution control unit 202 receives radio waves from each of the plurality of electronic tag transmission devices 10 installed in the commercial facility, and the presence or absence of two or more electronic tag transmission devices 10 whose RSSI is equal to or greater than a threshold value. Is determined (step S304). Next, the application execution control unit 202 determines a direction toward the destination from the radio wave received from the RFID tag transmitting device 10 whose RSSI is equal to or greater than a threshold value, makes a determination (step S305), and receives first based on the RSSI. Mapping processing with the map is performed (step S306). For example, as shown in FIG. 10A, a route guidance screen is displayed on the display unit 240 (step S307).

  When switching from the route guidance screen to augmented reality (AR) display, for example, the switching request is made by operating the operation unit of the portable information terminal 20 shown in FIG. (Step S308), the display screen of the portable information terminal 20 is switched to AR display (Step S309). As the AR technique, a known technique is used. For example, a superimposed image obtained by superimposing information on peripheral facilities acquired from a server via communication and information on peripheral facilities included in an image captured by a camera built in the portable information terminal 20 is displayed on the display unit 240. indicate. In this embodiment, the map information is displayed as information related to the facility. However, instead of the map information, related information such as store information of the facility installed on the route may be displayed. Good.

  By implementing the route guidance application using the electronic tag transmission device 10, it is not dependent on the network environment, so that a more accurate position can be specified as compared with the route guidance using GPS. In addition, since necessary information is transmitted to the portable information terminal 20 such as a smartphone possessed by the user, it is possible to smoothly guide to the destination. Furthermore, since the portable information terminal 20 can map the map to the real world by switching the map display to the AR display, the geographical information up to the destination can be provided more easily.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a location information service system 2000 according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. As shown in FIG. 11, the location information service system 2000 according to the second embodiment includes one or more electronic tag transmitters 10 installed at an arbitrary place in a commercial facility and one or more portable information such as a smartphone. It is comprised from the terminal 20 and the customer management terminal 60 provided in the facility which has an electronic tag transmission apparatus.

  Below, the different points of the first embodiment will be described. In the above configuration, the electronic tag transmitter 10 broadcasts the first identification information by radio waves so as to specify a common application executed by the portable information terminal 20. Then, the portable information terminal 20 transmits the first identification information received by itself and the personal information registered in the storage unit 210 to the customer management terminal 60. In response, the customer management terminal 60 registers in a storage unit (not shown) based on the first identification information and personal information, and provides facility services based on the information.

Registration is performed (step S501). Then, a position ID number associated with the position information is created (step S502), and the position ID number is assigned to the electronic tag transmitter 10 (step S503). The electronic tag transmitter 10 is set as described above and shipped to the facility to be used.

  Next, an example will be described in which a user who has a portable information terminal 20 installed with an application of this service has visited a facility where an electronic tag transmitting device 10 in which a position ID number is set is installed.

  When the user who has the portable information terminal 20 approaches the facility where the electronic tag transmission device 10 is installed, the control unit 200 of the portable information terminal 20 sets the RSSI and the threshold value of the radio wave measured by the radio wave intensity measurement unit 203 in advance. Compared to RSSI. If the RSSI of the received radio wave is equal to or greater than the set threshold value, the radio wave including the position ID number is received from the electronic tag transmitter 10 (step S504).

  The control unit 200 makes an inquiry to the cloud 500 to acquire position information from the acquired position ID number (step S505). When receiving the position ID number, the cloud 500 reads the position information associated with the position ID number stored in the storage unit (not shown) (step S506), and transmits the position information to the portable information terminal 20. (Step S507). By doing in this way, since the position information of a facility can be acquired, it is possible to receive facility information or services distributed from the above-described facility management server 40 (which can be replaced by the cloud 500).

  In addition to the position ID number, the electronic tag transmitting device 10 is assigned a serial ID that is added to a manufacturing unit in which the position ID number is uniquely assigned with the electronic tag transmitting device 10 as a unit.
