<Overall configuration>
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an overall configuration of a positioning notification system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The positioning notification system includes a wireless device 200, a receiving terminal 300, an application server 400, a mobile phone base station 600, a POS (Point Of Sales) system 800, a radio wave information setting confirmation device 900, a product position setting confirmation device 1000, and a notification data setting confirmation. A device 1100 is provided.

  The wireless device 200 is installed in the facility 100. The facility 100 is, for example, an underground shopping center or a building. The wireless device 200 transmits a wireless signal to the receiving terminal 300. In the facility 100, a plurality of wireless devices 200 are arranged. The receiving terminal 300 transmits position information indicating the current position of the receiving terminal 300 measured using the received radio signal to the application server 400 via the mobile phone base station 600 and the Internet network 700.

  The receiving terminal 300 is a smartphone, for example. A smartphone application operates on the receiving terminal 300, and this application operates in cooperation with the application server 400. The mobile phone base station 600 receives the communication data of the receiving terminal 300 and transmits the communication data to the application server 400 via the Internet network 700. In addition, the mobile phone base station 600 receives the communication data from the application server 400 and transmits the communication data to the receiving terminal 300.

<Detailed configuration of facility 100>
A specific configuration of the facility 100 is not shown in the drawing. The facility 100 is a target on which the wireless device 200 is placed, and no specific processing is performed.

<Detailed Configuration of Wireless Device 200>
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a detailed configuration of radio apparatus 200 in the present embodiment.

  As illustrated in FIG. 2, the wireless device 200 includes a power supply unit 210, an ID storage unit 220, a signal output unit 230, a radio wave intensity storage unit 240, and an antenna 250.

  The power supply unit 210 is a power supply for operating each component of the wireless device 200. For example, the power supply unit 210 may be configured to be wired to an external power supply and supplied with power from the external power supply. However, when the power supply unit 210 is supplied with power from an external power source, wiring work is required when installing the wireless device 200 in the facility 100, and the cost increases when a large number of wireless devices 200 are installed. Therefore, it is desirable that the power source unit 210 is an independent power source that does not require wiring work. The independent power source may be, for example, a primary battery, or a combination of a power generation device such as photovoltaic power generation and a power storage device that stores the generated power. The power generation device may be a wind power generation device or a vibration power generation device in addition to the photovoltaic power generation device.

  The ID storage unit 220 stores an ID (identification information) for identifying the wireless device 200.

  The signal output unit 230 transmits the radio signal power to the antenna 250 in order to transmit the radio signal including the ID stored in the ID storage unit 220 from the antenna 250.

  The radio wave intensity storage unit 240 stores the radio wave intensity of a radio signal transmitted from the antenna 250. The signal output unit 230 transmits the radio signal power adjusted according to the radio field intensity stored in the radio field intensity storage unit 240 to the antenna 250.

  The antenna 250 transmits a radio signal including the ID stored in the ID storage unit 220 using the transmitted radio signal power. The antenna 250 transmits a radio signal having directivity in the direction toward the floor surface. For example, when the wireless device 200 is disposed on the ceiling, the antenna 250 transmits a wireless signal having directivity in the downward direction. For example, when the wireless device 200 is disposed on a wall surface, the antenna 250 transmits a wireless signal having directivity in a diagonally downward direction. The floor may include not only the floor in the facility but also the outdoor ground surrounded by a building.

  Note that, unlike the Wi-Fi router, the wireless device 200 does not need to communicate bidirectionally with the receiving terminal 300 and may be configured to transmit a wireless signal unilaterally. Thereby, the radio | wireless apparatus 200 does not need to consume the standby current for receiving the radio | wireless signal from the receiving terminal 300, and since it only needs to transmit a radio | wireless signal, power consumption can be reduced significantly. In addition, the wireless device 200 does not require power supply wiring, and includes an independent power source such as a battery or a power generation device. Therefore, power supply wiring work or the like is unnecessary, and an inexpensive infrastructure can be realized.

<Detailed Configuration of Antenna 250>
3 is a diagram illustrating an appearance of the antenna 250 according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line IV-IV of the antenna 250 illustrated in FIG. The antenna 250 reflects a radio signal formed on a flat substrate 251, a feed element 252 formed on the output surface of the substrate 251 that outputs a radio signal, and a surface facing the output surface of the substrate 251. A metal film 253. The antenna 250 outputs a radio signal in the Z-axis direction. Here, the substrate 251 has a quadrangular shape. The antenna 250 includes a single power feeding element 252. The power feeding element 252 has a rectangular shape, for example, and is formed at the center of the substrate 251. The power feeding element 252 supplies power to the antenna 250.

  Note that the metal film 253 is preferably formed over the entire surface of the substrate 251 facing the output surface.

  Since the outgoing radio wave in the -Z direction is reflected by the metal film 253 and the reflected outgoing radio wave travels in the + Z direction, the gain of the radio wave emitted in the + Z direction can be increased and the directivity in the + Z direction can be increased. Can do.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an appearance of an antenna 250 according to a modification of the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, the substrate 251 has a quadrangular shape. The antenna 250 includes four feeding elements 252. The four feeding elements 252 are formed in the vicinity of each corner of the substrate 251 and are formed in a 2 × 2 matrix.

  Further, four signals that are phase-shifted by a half wavelength or a quarter wavelength are generated and individually input to the four feed elements 252. By doing so, the four radio wave signals transmitted from the four power feeding elements 252 resonate with each other in the + Z direction and the gain increases. On the other hand, radio wave components traveling in the air in the direction inclined from the + Z direction cancel each other and gain is weakened. As a result, a high gain is collected in the + Z direction and a radio wave waveform having directivity in the + Z direction is obtained. With this configuration, if the antenna 250 is used, a sufficient radio signal is transmitted in the + Z direction of the antenna 250 even if the power used for radio wave transmission is weakened, and an effect of reducing power consumption can be obtained.

  Note that in this embodiment, the shapes of the substrate 251 and the power feeding element 252 are not particularly limited. Further, the number of power feeding elements 252 is not particularly limited.

  The purchase information transmission unit 820 transmits the purchase information 3500 to the application server 400 via the communication unit 810.

  The settlement processing unit 830 aggregates the prices of the products scanned by the scanner 840, receives the purchase amount from the user, counts the received purchase amount, and performs settlement processing. Since the payment process is a process that is generally performed, the details are omitted. The settlement processing unit 830 generates purchase information 3500 and outputs it to the purchase information transmission unit 820.

  The scanner 840 obtains product price information by reading a barcode attached to a product package, for example. The scanner 840 may acquire information related to the discount amount of the product by reading the barcode or two-dimensional code (display data) displayed on the receiving terminal 300.
