In the following description, a theater is taken as an example of the facility, a movie is taken as an example of the first content provided at the facility, and an advertisement is taken as an example of the second content provided together with the first content.

  In the example shown in FIG. 1, an advertisement frame in which advertisement content is shown is provided in a movie shown in a theater. For example, an advertisement frame for several minutes is provided before the main part of a movie. Then, the advertising device 100 distributes advertising content to be screened in such a theater to the theater. That is, in the theater, a movie in which the advertising content distributed from the advertising device 100 is incorporated in the advertising space is shown. At this time, the administrator of the advertising device 100 pays an advertising fee to the theater as consideration for the advertising content to be screened in the theater. Here, the advertising fee paid by the administrator of the advertising device 100 is the number of theater audiences (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “number of mobilization”) and the advertising fee for the theater (hereinafter referred to as “advertising space usage fee”). It is calculated based on a unit price for each predetermined number of mobilizations (hereinafter may be referred to as “theater mobilization unit price”). In the case of the example of FIG. 1, the manager of the advertising device 100 and the theater manager negotiate in advance such a theater mobilization unit price (step S11).

  In the following, the theater mobilization unit price is the number of times the advertising content has been screened, and the number of spectators when the advertising content is screened is “one person”, and the advertising content is screened. The advertising space use fee is shown when the length of time for which the time is a predetermined value (here, 15 seconds). Here, a value obtained by multiplying the number of times the advertising content is screened and the number of spectators when the advertising content is screened is the “mobilization number”.

  The theater mobilization unit price decided by the manager of the advertising device 100 and the theater manager is input to the advertising device 100 by the manager of the advertising device 100.

Then, the calculation unit 135 notifies the theater of the calculated advertising space usage fee (step S304). In addition, the calculation unit 135 notifies the advertiser of the calculated advertisement fee (step S305). Note that either the notification according to step S304 or the notification according to step S305 may be made first. As described above, the calculation processing of the fee for advertisement distribution by the advertising device 100 is completed.

[5. (Modification)
The advertising device 100 described above may be implemented in various different forms other than the above embodiment. Therefore, in the following, another embodiment of the advertising device 100 will be described.

[5-1. (Pre-charge)
In the above embodiment, an example has been described in which the advertising device 100 calculates the advertising fee according to the actual number of mobilizations and notifies the advertiser of the calculated advertising fee. That is, in the above-described embodiment, the post-billing that charges the advertiser an advertising fee after the actual number of mobilizations is determined has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this example, and the above-described advertising device 100 can also be applied to pre-charging that charges the advertiser an advertising fee before the actual number of mobilizations is determined.

  Specifically, the calculation unit 135 obtains a predicted number of mobilizations in the theater (hereinafter referred to as “predicted mobilization number”). There are various examples of indicators for obtaining the predicted number of mobilizations. For example, the calculation unit 135 calculates the predicted number of mobilizations based on the previous year's actual value of the number of mobilizations in theaters, the popularity and previous reputation of movies in which advertising spaces are incorporated, the number of previous screenings in other countries, etc. Ask. Further, the calculation unit 135 acquires the number of posts related to the content in the SNS, the number of searches by web search related to the content, the number of times introduced by media such as newspapers, magazines, and televisions via the network N, and the number The number of predicted mobilizations can also be obtained using as an index. Furthermore, the calculation unit 135 may obtain the predicted mobilization number by referring to the relationship between various types of information such as movie categories and casts and the past number of mobilizations. Note that the calculation unit 135 may change the predicted mobilization number after the movie is released. For example, the calculation unit 135 may obtain the predicted number of mobilizations of the previous screening using the number of mobilizations immediately after the release of the movie, the rate of increase in the number of mobilizations, etc. as an index. Further, the predicted mobilization number is not limited to the calculation unit 135, and may be obtained by a theater (for example, the theater terminal 20) based on the previous year actual value of the mobilization number, the popularity of the movie, the previous reputation, or the like.

  Then, when providing the sales service, the providing unit 132 presents the “predicted mobilization number” obtained by the calculating unit 135 together with the “mobilization unit price” as sales information. Then, the calculation unit 135 pre-calculates the advertising fee to be charged to the advertiser based on the predicted mobilization number and the mobilization unit price when the advertiser who is the purchaser of the right to incorporate the advertising content in the advertising space is determined. . In this case, the administrator of the advertising device 100 can charge the advertising fee to the advertiser who is the purchaser in advance, and can charge the advertising fee before distributing the advertisement. Note that the administrator of the advertising device 100 and the advertiser may decide to charge an advertising fee after the advertisement is distributed.

  Thereby, the advertising device 100 according to the modified example can easily calculate the advertisement fee and can quickly perform the calculation process before acquiring information on the actual number of mobilizations. In addition, for the advertiser, the advertising fee does not change depending on the actual number of mobilizations, so that the advertising content can be screened at a predetermined advertising fee.

[5-2. (Arrangement with theater)
In the above embodiment, an example in which the advertising device 100 provides a sales service for the right to incorporate advertising content into the advertising space after the administrator of the advertising device 100 and the theater manager have decided the theater mobilization unit price. . However, the advertising device 100 is not limited to the method of the above embodiment, and may provide the advertiser with a right sales service for incorporating the advertising content into the advertising space using a different method. Specifically, the manager of the advertising device 100 and the theater manager may negotiate a fixed advertising space usage fee instead of the theater mobilization unit price. That is, in the example of FIG. 1 and the like, an example is shown in which the advertising space usage fee paid by the manager of the advertising device 100 to the theater manager varies depending on the number of mobilization, but this advertising space usage fee is a fixed amount. May be. This point will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of calculation processing according to the modification. In addition, about the thing which overlaps with the content demonstrated by embodiment, description is abbreviate | omitted. As shown in FIG. 9, the manager of the advertising device 100 and the theater manager negotiate the provision of the advertising space (step S21).

  Specifically, the theater manager provides the advertising space to the manager of the advertising device 100 by negotiating a fixed advertising space usage fee instead of the theater mobilization unit price. The administrator of the advertising device 100 inputs a fixed fixed advertising space usage fee to the advertising device 100 as information about the advertising space.

  Then, as illustrated in FIG. 9, the advertising device 100 performs the processes after step S22. Advertising device 100 performs processing corresponding to Steps S12-S17 shown in Drawing 1 about Steps S22-S27. Further, the advertising device 100 calculates the advertising space usage fee from the number of mobilizations (corresponding to a part of step S18 shown in FIG. 1) and notifies the theater of the advertising space usage fee (step shown in FIG. 1). S19) can be omitted.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the advertising device 100 performs processing for calculating the advertising fee from the number of mobilization (step S28) and processing for notifying the advertiser of the advertising fee (step S29). Note that step S28 shown in FIG. 9 corresponds to part of step S18 shown in FIG. Further, step S29 shown in FIG. 9 corresponds to step S20 shown in FIG.

  Thereby, the advertising device 100 according to the modified example can perform the calculation process quickly. Further, the theater manager can reliably obtain the negotiated advertising space usage fee because the advertising space usage fee does not change depending on the actual number of mobilization. Further, the theater manager can reduce the risk of fluctuation of the advertising space usage fee by providing the advertising space to the manager of the advertising device 100 by a fixed amount according to the agreement.

[5-3. (Unit of mobilization unit price)
In the above embodiment, as shown in the example shown in FIG. 4, the same billing mobilization unit price is set for the same theater and the same main content. In other words, in the above-described embodiment, when the theater and the main content are the same, the example in which the charge mobilization unit price corresponding to all the advertising spaces is the same is shown. However, the advertising device 100 may set different charging mobilization unit prices for each advertising space even if the theater and the main content are the same. This point will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of the advertising space storage unit 121 according to the modification. Although illustration of the theater mobilization unit price is omitted in FIG. 10, the advertising space storage unit 121 shown in FIG. 10 also stores the theater mobilization unit price as in the example of FIG. As illustrated in FIG. 10, the advertising space storage unit 121 according to the modification stores nine advertising spaces C41 to C49 that are included in the main content M3 and have a delivery schedule T11. Here, the advertisement frames C41 to C49 are given a high charging mobilization unit price stepwise by the acquisition unit 131. This will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of a billing system for advertising space.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the advertisement frames C41 to C49 are advertisement frames incorporated in the main content M3. A delivery schedule T11 is set in the advertising space C41. For the advertising spaces C42 to C49, the delivery times T12 to T19 are determined from the delivery schedule T11 of the advertising space C41 with the delivery time set for each of the advertising frames C41 to C48. It is assumed that the main content starts to be distributed from the distribution time T21.

  Here, as the billing mobilization unit price of the advertising space, a higher amount is set as it is distributed near the main content. This is derived from the fact that the closer the time is to the main content, the higher the seating rate of visitors, and the higher the possibility that the distributed advertising content will be browsed. That is, as shown in FIG. 11, on the time axis T, the closer the distribution times T11 to T19 are to the main content distribution time T21, the higher the charging mobilization unit price given to the advertising space, thereby further responding to the advertising effect. Billing system is realized.

  As described above, the update processing of the billing mobilization unit price related to the advertising space may be automatically performed by the acquisition unit 131 based on the information set in the advertising space acquired from the theater, or the administrator of the advertising device 100 May be done manually.

  As described above, the advertising device 100 according to the modified example can acquire information on an advertising space that realizes a billing system more appropriately according to the advertising effect. Thereby, the advertising device 100 according to the modified example can provide the advertiser with an advertising space that realizes a billing system according to the advertising effect.

  In the example of FIGS. 10 and 11, an example in which a different charge mobilization unit price is set for each advertisement frame is shown, but a different theater mobilization unit price may be set for each advertisement frame.

[5-4. reputation〕
In the above embodiment, the advertising device 100 may determine a charging mobilization unit price corresponding to an advertising space incorporated in the movie according to the reputation of the movie. Specifically, the advertising device 100 determines the reputation of the movie before the screening based on various information obtained from a search engine server, an SNS (Social Networking Service) server, or the like. Then, the advertising device 100 sets a charging mobilization unit price corresponding to the advertising space incorporated in the movie based on the determination result.

  For example, the advertising device 100 obtains the number of search queries related to a movie before the screening by accessing a search engine server. Further, for example, the advertising device 100 obtains the number of posted articles related to the movie before the screening by accessing the SNS server. For example, the advertising device 100 determines that the movie has a higher reputation as the number of search queries or the number of posted articles increases. And the advertising device 100 sets the charging mobilization unit price corresponding to the advertising space incorporated in such a movie so that it is a movie with high reputation.

  Thereby, the advertising device 100 can provide the advertiser with an advertising space in which an appropriate charging mobilization unit price is set according to the current situation.

  The advertising device 100 may dynamically perform a process of setting a charging mobilization unit price high according to the reputation of the movie while providing a sales service. That is, you may provide the sales service from which a charge mobilization unit price changes according to the reputation of a movie.

[5-5. auction〕
In the above embodiment, the advertising device 100 may provide a sales service that sells the right to incorporate the advertising content in the advertising space in an auction format. This point will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of the advertising space storage unit 121 according to the modification. In the example shown in FIG. 12, the advertising space storage unit 121 according to the modification has items of “minimum bid charging mobilization unit price” and “end time”.

  The advertiser himself / herself designates the billing mobilization unit price for the desired advertising space, and transmits a purchase request for the right to incorporate the advertising content into the advertising space to the receiving unit 133. At this time, the advertiser designates a charging mobilization unit price that is not less than the “minimum bid charging mobilization unit price”. The accepting unit 133 accepts bids related to the advertising space until the “end time” elapses. When the “end time” has elapsed, the reception unit 133 determines the advertiser who has designated the highest charging mobilization unit price as the purchaser of the right to incorporate the advertising content in the advertising space.

  As described above, the advertiser can acquire the right to incorporate the advertising content in the desired advertising space by designating a higher charge mobilization unit price than other advertisers. Accordingly, the advertising device 100 can perform an acquisition request accepting process related to the right to incorporate the advertising content in the advertising space according to the purpose of the advertiser.

[5-6. Customers)
In the above embodiment, the advertising device 100 may set a charging mobilization unit price that varies according to the audience attributes (for example, gender, age group, etc.) in the theater. Specifically, depending on the movie to be shown, there may be a bias in the audience (eg, gender ratio) of the audience. In such a case, it is assumed that the advertising effect of the advertising content varies depending on the audience of the audience. For example, the number of mobilizations is the same when “cosmetics” advertising content is screened when the audience is almost male and when “cosmetics” advertising content is screened when the audience is almost female. Even if it is, it can be considered that the latter showed the advertising effect more.

  Therefore, the advertising device 100 sets a billing mobilization unit price that varies depending on the attributes of the audience in the theater. In this case, the providing unit 132 presents the charging mobilization unit price that fluctuates according to the audience attributes in the theater and provides the sales service described above. Then, the calculation unit 135 calculates the advertising fee charged to the advertiser based on the actual number of mobilization in the theater and the charge mobilization unit price corresponding to the audience attribute in the theater. This point will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of the advertisement category storage unit. Here, it is assumed that the advertisement category storage unit is stored in the advertisement device 100. In the example illustrated in FIG. 13, the advertisement category storage unit includes items such as “category ID”, “advertisement category”, “male charging ratio”, and “female charging ratio”.

  “Category ID” indicates identification information about an advertisement category. For example, when an advertiser submits advertising content in an advertising space, the advertiser can also set the category ID for the advertising content and submit the advertising content in order to give a suitable advertising category to the advertising content. In addition, the reception unit 133 may determine an advertisement category from the content of the advertisement content and automatically assign a category ID to the advertisement content.

  “Advertisement category” indicates to which category the advertisement content is distributed. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, the “advertisement category” includes categories such as “cosmetics”, “automobile”, and “home appliance”.

  “Male charging ratio” and “female charging ratio” indicate the ratio of deriving the charging mobilization unit price for each gender by multiplying the charging mobilization unit price set in the advertising space. It is assumed that “male charging ratio” and “female charging ratio” are set in advance corresponding to the advertisement category.

  The accepting unit 133 according to the modification accepts the advertisement content and the advertisement category ID in association with each other when the advertisement content is submitted. FIG. 14 shows an example of the advertising content storage unit 122 according to the modified example after the receiving unit 133 according to the modified example has accepted the submission of the advertising content. In the example illustrated in FIG. 14, the advertisement content storage unit 122 includes items such as “advertisement category ID”, “male charging mobilization unit price”, “female charging mobilization unit price”, “male mobilization number”, and “female mobilization number”. .

  “Advertisement category ID” indicates the same value as the value stored in the aforementioned advertisement category storage unit. The “male billing mobilization unit price” and “female billing mobilization unit price” are values derived by multiplying the male billing rate and the female billing rate, which are items in the advertisement category storage unit, by the billing mobilization unit cost for the advertising space, respectively. Show. “Male mobilization number” and “female mobilization number” indicate the number of mobilizations measured in the theater by gender.

  In this case, the calculation unit 135 calculates an advertising fee based on a new mobilization unit price set in the advertising space according to the customer segment. Specifically, the calculation unit 135 calculates the sum of the value obtained by multiplying the male charging mobilization unit price and the number of male mobilizations and the value obtained by multiplying the female charging mobilization unit price and the number of female mobilizations as the advertising fee.

  Moreover, in the said modification, although sex was illustrated as a setting of the charge mobilization unit price for every customer segment, the division of a customer segment is not restricted to this. For example, the accepting unit 133 may accept submission of advertising content so that the customer segment is classified according to the age of the visitors.

  As described above, by changing the billing mobilization unit price for each customer segment, the advertising device 100 according to the modified example accepts the submission of the advertising content so that an appropriate advertising fee is calculated for the targeted advertisement. Can do.

  In the above example, the theater (for example, theater terminal 20) can acquire the attributes of the audience using the above-described audience information acquisition apparatus. For example, when a spectator information acquisition device includes a camera, the camera is provided at a position where an image of the spectator's face sitting on a seat provided in a theater can be captured, for example. Are captured and acquired, and the attributes of the audience are acquired from the acquired face images of the audience. When the spectator information acquisition apparatus includes an access point, the access point acquires the spectator ID transmitted from the mobile terminal held by each spectator by wireless communication such as WiFi, and acquires the acquired spectator ID. Acquire personal information linked to as an attribute of the audience. In this example, the theater terminal 20 and a predetermined server device accessible by the theater terminal 20 store the attribute information of the audience in association with the audience ID. Further, when the retinal scanner device is included in the spectator information acquisition device, the retinal scanner device is provided at a position in the theater where each spectator can use, and the retinal scan result of each spectator is used as the attribute of the spectator. Get as.

[5-7. (Mobilization unit price)
In the above embodiment, an example in which the time length of the advertising space (that is, the time length for which one advertising content is shown) is 15 seconds is shown. However, some advertisers may submit advertising content for 15 seconds or more (for example, 30 seconds). That is, some advertisers may purchase a plurality of advertising spaces. Here, in the above-described embodiment, the charge when the theater mobilization unit price or the charging mobilization unit price is the time length “15 seconds” of the advertisement content is shown. Therefore, the calculation unit 135 determines the advertisement space according to the time length of the advertisement content. Calculate usage and advertising fees. For example, it is assumed that two advertising spaces having a time length of 15 seconds are purchased by an advertiser, and advertising content of 30 seconds is submitted by the advertiser. Assume that the charging mobilization unit price corresponding to the time length “15 seconds” of the advertising content is “120 yen”. In this case, the calculation unit 135 calculates the advertising fee for the advertising content for 30 seconds with the charging mobilization unit price set at “240 yen”.

  In the above embodiment, the theater mobilization unit price and the billing mobilization unit cost are “1” for the number of times the advertising content has been screened, and the number of spectators when the advertising content is screened is “1”. There is an example showing a charge when the length of time for which the advertising content is shown is a predetermined value (here, 15 seconds). However, the theater mobilization unit price and billing mobilization unit price are the predetermined number of times (for example, two or three times) the advertisement content has been screened, and the number of spectators when the advertisement content is screened is the predetermined number (for example, 2 or 3 persons), and the fee may be charged when the length of time that the advertising content is shown is a predetermined value (for example, 30 seconds).

  Further, in the above embodiment, an example is shown in which the time length of the advertising space is fixed at a predetermined value (15 seconds in the above example). However, the advertising device 100 is not limited to this example, and the advertising device 100 may have an arbitrary value for the time length of the advertising space. Specifically, the advertising device 100 may use the time length of the advertising content submitted by the advertiser as the time length of the advertising space. That is, the time length of the advertising space may be determined by the advertiser, not by the theater. In this case, the calculation unit 135 varies the theater mobilization unit price and the charging mobilization unit price as in the above example according to the time length of the advertisement content. For example, it is assumed that the charging mobilization unit price corresponding to the time length “15 seconds” of the advertisement content is “120 yen”. Here, when the advertisement content with the time length of “20 seconds” is received, the calculation unit 135 sets the billing mobilization unit price to “160 yen” and calculates the advertisement fee for the advertisement content of 20 seconds. Calculate. In this case, since the total length of the advertising space incorporated in the movie is not determined, the providing unit 132 may provide a sales service as needed even after the movie is first shown in the theater. .

  Furthermore, the unit price of the advertising fee such as the theater mobilization unit price or the charging mobilization unit price may be set based on the ratio of the number of mobilizations in the theater capacity, not the number of people. For example, the advertising device 100 may determine that an advertising fee is charged for a screening that reaches 50% or more of the number of theaters. In this case, the advertising device 100 calculates an advertising fee using a screening unit price that is a unit price for each number of screenings set in advance. Specifically, the advertising device 100 calculates the advertising fee and the advertising space usage fee by multiplying the number of screenings that has reached 50% or more of the theater capacity by the screening unit price. In this case, the providing unit 132 presents the screening unit price as information based on the mobilization unit price presented to the advertiser.

[5-8. (Distribution of advertising content)
In the above embodiment, the distribution unit 134 of the advertising device 100 shows an example in which the advertising content is distributed to the theater terminal 20 before the screening start time in the theater. However, the theater terminal 20 may acquire the advertising content from the advertising device 100 in real time when the movie is shown. Specifically, the theater terminal 20 acquires the advertisement data ID corresponding to the advertisement space from the advertisement apparatus 100 in advance, and when the advertisement content is actually shown, the advertisement data ID is assigned to the advertisement apparatus 100. May be acquired from the advertising device 100 and the acquired advertising content may be screened. That is, the theater terminal 20 can display the advertising content while acquiring the advertising content at the time when the advertising content is actually shown in the theater. Thereby, the advertising device 100 can realize advertisement distribution according to the theater situation, advertisement distribution by streaming over the network, and the like.

  The theater terminal 20 can also send only a request for advertisement distribution to the advertising device 100 without acquiring advertising content based on the advertising data ID corresponding to the advertising space in advance. In this case, the advertising device 100 receives the request and selects advertising content corresponding to the request. Then, the advertising device 100 distributes the selected advertising content to the theater terminal 20. The request transmitted by the theater terminal 20 includes the desired number of seconds of advertisement content. In this case, the advertising device 100 distributes the advertising content corresponding to the number of seconds included in the request to the theater terminal 20. Further, when the theater includes the above-described audience information acquisition device, the theater terminal 20 can also include the acquired audience information in the request. Here, the audience information is information indicating the attributes of the audience such as sex and age. In this case, the advertising device 100 distributes the advertising content corresponding to the audience information included in the request to the theater terminal 20. More specifically, the advertiser can submit to the advertising device 100 spectator information to be distributed with the advertising content together with the advertising content. When the advertising device 100 receives a request including audience information from the theater terminal 20, the advertising apparatus 100 delivers the advertising content targeted for delivery of the received audience information to the theater terminal 20.

[5-9. Advertising content)
In the above embodiment, the advertising device 100 may accept a purchase request from the advertiser together with the advertising budget. In this case, the advertising device 100 controls so that the advertising content is not distributed to the theater terminal 20 when the advertising fee of the advertising content reaches the advertising budget. In this case, the advertising device 100 may inquire to the advertiser of the advertising content whose advertising fee has reached the advertising budget whether or not to increase the advertising budget. Further, the advertising device 100 may provide a sales service to other advertisers when the advertising space is surplus as the advertising fee reaches the advertising budget.

  In the embodiment described above, the advertising device 100 may accept submission of advertising content from the advertiser many times. In this case, the advertising device 100 distributes the latest advertising content submitted by the advertiser to the theater terminal 20. Thereby, the advertiser who purchased the right to incorporate the advertising content in the movie can replace the advertising content.

[5-10. (Ad space position)
In the above embodiment, an example is shown in which the advertising space is incorporated before the main part of the movie. In other words, in the above embodiment, an example is shown in which the advertising content is screened before the main part of the movie. However, the timing at which the advertising content is screened is not limited to the above example. That is, the fact that the advertisement content is provided together with the movie means that it may be shown during the main part of the movie or after the main part of the movie.

[5-11. Example of content)
In the above embodiment, an example is shown in which a movie is used as the first content provided at the facility, and the second content provided together with the first content is an advertisement. However, the present invention is not limited to this example, and each content may have various modes. For example, the first content may include various events performed by mobilizing the audience, such as a theater and a concert. In addition, the second content may include a short film produced by a personal creator. In this case, the individual creator who produced the short film can be the provider of the second content. Thereby, the advertising device 100 can meet the needs of individual creators who want to screen their own short film works in a theater space.

[5-12. Others]
