  A business that can provide various services based on face-to-face conversations, such as online shopping that can be easily used with a terrestrial digital TV for elderly households, and watching as an additional function. The model is not known in the past.

  In addition, by providing an environment that enables easy and easy online shopping for elderly households who cannot operate PCs, and interacting with outsiders, people involved in the business model system can watch over elderly households. There is also no known system that can achieve this.

  Furthermore, in order to make use of the Internet infrastructure, by creating an environment in which elderly people can enjoy services on the Internet using terrestrial digital TVs and remote controls that they are familiar with, they can enjoy services unique to the Internet while they are living. Neither is it known about a system that can be used as a watch over elderly households.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and an object thereof is to provide an Internet shopping system and method based on interactive real-time interaction.

  The Internet shopping system based on interactive real-time dialogue according to the present invention is a terrestrial digital TV and a terrestrial digital TV as a display device. The subscriber terminal connected to the Internet via a subscriber dedicated cloud server and an optical line so as to be able to transmit voice, and at least the selection of a TV program and the Internet according to the selection screen displayed on the terrestrial digital TV The subscriber terminal remote control to which the subscriber's instructions regarding the connection are input, and the service provider providing the service to the subscriber connect to the subscriber dedicated cloud server via the Internet and check the current video or audio of the subscriber Service that enables real-time communication with subscribers regarding services Graphics and provider terminal, characterized in that it comprises a.

  In addition, the method of the present invention is a method using the Internet shopping system or the like based on the above-described interactive real-time dialogue, and the subscriber operates the subscriber terminal remote control according to the screen display of the terrestrial digital television and subscribes. A process for connecting to a subscriber-specific cloud server, and a service provider receives an order for a service to be provided from a subscriber based on real-time subscriber video and audio by connecting to the subscriber-dedicated cloud server via the Internet And a process.

  An Internet shopping system and method based on interactive real-time interaction can be provided.

  The Internet shopping system and method based on the interactive real-time dialogue of the present invention are different from so-called traditional online shopping and television shopping. In the present invention, the service provider (ordering party) performs the purchasing behavior while checking the face and voice of the subscriber (ordering party) in real time.

  As represented by sales via TV net, it is completely different from so-called Internet shopping and TV shopping where product information is one-way, and proposes sales and orders through interactive real-time dialogue based on interactive communication. To do. In essence, instead of going to the store and consulting with the store owner or store clerk to purchase, the same digital purchase behavior will be carried out at home via the TV network. This is a mixed form of conventional analog technology for delivering products after purchase.

  By limiting the connection destination of a terrestrial digital TV to only a server that supplies a dedicated service on the Internet, it can be supplied as a service that is safe and can be easily operated with a TV remote control. In addition, it is easy to communicate by installing a Web camera so that faces can be seen as a videophone, and as a result, it can be used as a watch.

  The service supply side must be registered with a dedicated server, and by focusing on the places where business is conducted in the elderly household area, it is possible to provide detailed services and have a role to watch over Can do. This system can be pre-registered as an additional function for anomaly notifications and an abnormality detection warning function when the TV is not turned on for a certain period of time, enabling monitoring to reduce human labor. .

  By introducing this system, the convenience of Internet shopping can be easily provided to elderly households, and the goods purchased through this system can be further monitored by visiting them by delivering and collecting money. In addition, the videophone function built with this system can be used as a videophone with a distant family or as a place for communication between households that have subscribed to this system, and it is also effective as a function of mutual monitoring. .

  The Internet shopping system based on interactive real-time dialogue according to the present invention is a terrestrial digital TV and a terrestrial digital TV as a display device. The subscriber terminal connected to the Internet via a subscriber dedicated cloud server and an optical line so as to be able to transmit voice, and at least the selection of a TV program and the Internet according to the selection screen displayed on the terrestrial digital TV The subscriber terminal remote control to which the subscriber's instructions regarding the connection are input, and the service provider providing the service to the subscriber connect to the subscriber dedicated cloud server via the Internet and check the current video or audio of the subscriber Service that enables real-time communication with subscribers regarding services Graphics and provider terminal, characterized in that it comprises a.

  This enables pseudo-face-to-face (Internet TV) via the Internet, in the same way as shopping (face-to-face sales and orders) in a traditional local shopping street with a service provider such as a shop owner while a subscriber such as an elderly person living alone is at home. Shopping by phone). In addition, service providers such as local shopkeepers can typically communicate sales and orders in real time while confirming the subscriber's face and voice using visual and auditory senses. It is possible to easily grasp the health status and safety of subscribers.

  For subscribers (members) such as elderly people living alone, even if they cannot use a PC, tablet terminal, smartphone, etc. that require detailed operations that are complicated and error-free, it is usually necessary to select channels for TV programs. The viewing is possible. For this reason, the operation configuration of the remote control of the subscriber terminal that can be connected to the Internet via the television is as easy as selecting the channel of the television program.

  For example, in the case of a greengrocer, a service provider such as a store owner wears a wearable camera, headphones, and a microphone (for example, a headset) and displays the vegetables displayed at various stores on that day in real time to the subscriber. You may send and receive orders. In addition, for example, in the case of a fish shop, a service provider such as a shop owner wears a wearable camera etc. and sends the fish displayed at the fresh store front of the day in real time to the subscriber in a video and receives the order. Also good. The ordered item may be delivered and collected on the same day when the service provider visits the subscriber's home. The same applies to the provision of various services to subscribers, such as Anma, Massage, Needle Acupuncture, and Cleaning, as well as sales of goods and orders to subscribers.

  Further, a service provider such as a shop owner may access a subscriber such as an elderly person living alone, and may make an order or an advertisement through a pseudo-face-to-face communication via an Internet videophone, as in a so-called request. Even in this case, the service provider can confirm the safety of the subscriber in a pseudo-face-to-face manner together with the sale and order receipt of the original product.

  In addition, the subscriber-only cloud server is a dedicated server for providing the service, and is only for a specific person registered in advance such as a subscriber terminal owned by a subscriber or a service provider terminal owned by a service provider. In this sense, a closed network is constructed.

  In addition, the Web camera that captures the current subscriber's video and the microphone that acquires the current subscriber's voice may each be provided in a terrestrial digital television or a subscriber terminal. However, it may be provided in the subscriber terminal remote control. Since it is sufficient that the current video and audio of the subscriber can be acquired and transmitted in real time, for example, a terrestrial digital TV or subscriber terminal or wireless terminal (such as Bluetooth (registered trademark)) A Web camera and microphone connected to the subscriber terminal remote controller may be used so that video and audio acquired in real time can be transmitted to the subscriber dedicated cloud server via the subscriber terminal.

  The Internet shopping system based on interactive real-time interaction according to the present invention preferably has a service provider based on a trigger of the service provider when the service provider notices a change in the subscriber during communication with the subscriber. When the subscriber dedicated cloud server receives the warning signal transmitted from the terminal, the subscriber dedicated cloud server automatically notifies the security service provider.

  The service provider places an order based on a pseudo-face-to-face with a subscriber, typically using an Internet videophone. For this reason, the state and state of the subscriber can be visually confirmed, and the voice can be heard, so that the service provider can easily perceive abnormalities such as the health state of the subscriber.

  Accordingly, the service provider who has detected an abnormality based on visual recognition or voice transmits a warning signal to the subscriber-specific cloud server via the service provider terminal. The warning signal may be transmitted by pressing a warning button or a safety confirmation button provided on the service provider terminal.

  The subscriber-only cloud server that has received the warning signal has notified the subscriber that the warning signal has been reported to the security service provider previously associated with the subscriber, that is, the subscriber has been informed of some abnormality. It is configured to automatically report that. Since this service is a service using a closed network composed only of limited specific persons such as subscribers, notification of warning signals due to so-called mischief or harassment is eliminated as much as possible.

  In the Internet shopping system based on the interactive real-time dialogue according to the present invention, more preferably, the security service provider is either a security company, a medical institution, or a subscriber's family.

  As a result, the security company's security staff quickly rushes to the subscriber's home where the abnormality was felt, the medical staff quickly rushes for emergency treatment or first aid, and family members join. It is possible to visit the subscriber's house to check the status of the subscriber.

  Further, in the Internet shopping system based on the interactive real-time dialogue of the present invention, more preferably, when the terrestrial digital television is not turned on for a predetermined period, the subscriber terminal is registered in advance via the subscriber dedicated cloud server. It is characterized by notifying a predetermined report destination.

  The subscriber terminal detects when the corresponding subscriber's terrestrial digital television is not turned on for a predetermined period. If the terrestrial digital TV is not turned on once continuously for the predetermined period, the subscriber terminal automatically receives the subscriber's exclusive cloud server in advance without receiving any operation of the subscriber. Report to a registered registered address.

  The predetermined period set in advance may be, for example, one day, three days, one week, or a time unit. Further, the predetermined report destination may be a subscriber's family such as an elderly person. Since subscribers such as elderly people always use terrestrial digital TVs when watching TV or shopping on the Internet, they usually turn on terrestrial digital TVs at a certain frequency. .

  However, when the subscriber is an elderly person living alone, for example, when his / her health condition deteriorates or he / she typically falls asleep, there is a situation where even the terrestrial digital TV cannot be turned on. Is also a concern. In such a case, the subscriber terminal detects this by a timer or the like that calculates a continuous period in which the terrestrial digital television is not turned on, and automatically notifies related parties such as family members. The family member who received the report can visit the subscriber's home to confirm the safety of the subscriber, and can contact the subscriber individually.

  In the Internet shopping system based on the interactive real-time dialogue according to the present invention, more preferably, the pre-registered predetermined report destination is a terrestrial digital television that is not turned on for a predetermined period of time via a subscriber dedicated cloud server. It is characterized by accessing a corresponding subscriber terminal and acquiring in real time at least one of a subscriber's video or audio via a Web camera or microphone corresponding to the subscriber terminal.

  As a result, the party to whom the report is received, such as a family member who has received the report, can directly connect the subscriber even from a distance by preferably operating the Web camera or microphone installed in the subscriber's home to obtain video and audio. It becomes possible to confirm the safety status of the subscriber promptly without visiting. In addition, since the remote operation is performed from a specific person in the closed network, there is no possibility that the subscriber's privacy is unfairly infringed by a remote operation from an external third party.

  The Web camera and microphone at the subscriber's home can be turned on remotely, and more preferably set the camera angle and sound collection level only when a notification is received from the subscriber terminal of the subscriber and only from the notification destination. It is preferable that various settings relating to video and sound acquisition such as the above and acquisition of the video and sound are possible. In this case, since priority is given to quick response, remote operation with identification ID and password may be permitted, but a unique identification code such as an IP address of a family member is set in the subscriber terminal in advance, From the set unique identification code such as the IP address, it is preferable to enable remote operation after reporting to the unique identification code such as the IP address. After confirming the reporting family, etc., it becomes possible for the family, etc., to contact the medical institution or the security company, etc., as necessary, and to take an emergency response.

  The Internet shopping system based on interactive real-time dialogue according to the present invention is more preferably a first subscriber having a first terrestrial digital television, a first subscriber terminal, and a first subscriber terminal remote control. The second terrestrial digital TV, the second subscriber terminal, and the second subscriber terminal having a second remote control of the second subscriber terminal, video and audio via a subscriber-specific cloud server It is characterized by enabling communication based on it.

  As a result, communication using video and audio between subscribers can be performed at home, and thus it is possible to confirm mutual safety through daily conversation, which is more preferable. Even if it is a daily conversation such as standing in the neighborhood such as the so-called Iwata meeting, it may be a big deal for the elderly living alone, when the elderly living alone of the same generation thinks in the walking range of the elderly in the first place Can be relatively remote. For example, even in the case of a few tens of meters to several hundreds of meters, the distance barrier for the elderly may be much larger than that considered by healthy young people.

  By using the system according to the present invention, it is possible to overcome such a distance barrier and perform conversation by Internet videophone between subscribers such as elderly people living alone. Moreover, like a conversation in the real world, since it is possible to talk and hear the voice of the other party in real time with a simple operation, it is easy to grasp each other's health and safety, etc., which is preferable.

  In addition, the Internet shopping system based on the interactive real-time dialogue of the present invention is more preferably a single elderly person (65 years old or older) who uses a terrestrial digital television, a subscriber terminal and a subscriber terminal remote control, a personal computer or a tablet personal computer. Alternatively, communication based on video and audio is enabled through a subscriber-specific cloud server with a family of elderly people living alone who use a smartphone.

  It is assumed that the family is younger than the elderly living alone, and it seems that the PC, tablet PC, or smartphone can be used to some extent freely. Therefore, it is possible to connect to the Internet and connect to a subscriber-dedicated cloud server without using a subscriber terminal or the like installed in a subscriber's house such as an elderly person living alone.

  For this reason, family members, etc., can use Internet videophone telephones in a relatively free manner according to the convenience of the subscriber, without being largely restricted by time or place, by using a personal computer, tablet personal computer or smartphone. A configuration that can be used. For this reason, a dedicated application may be installed on a personal computer, a tablet personal computer, or a smartphone so that the user can be granted access permission to the subscriber terminal by connecting to the subscriber dedicated cloud server.

  Further, according to the method using the Internet shopping system based on interactive real-time dialogue according to the present invention, the subscriber connects the subscriber terminal remote controller by operating the subscriber terminal remote controller according to the screen display of the terrestrial digital television. And a step in which the service provider receives an order for a service to be provided based on real-time subscriber video and audio from the subscriber by connecting to the subscriber dedicated cloud server via the Internet. And

  Whether or not the subscriber terminal is connected to the Internet, that is, is connected to a subscriber-specific cloud server so that the terrestrial digital TV can be operated as easily as the channel selection of the TV program. A guide screen for guiding whether or not is displayed. It is preferable that the subscriber can easily connect to the Internet only by selecting and operating a menu or the like on the terrestrial digital television screen using the subscriber terminal remote controller.

  In so-called conventional Internet sales, etc., all order processing including product guidance and information provision is completed on-line, and further on-line including settlement processing is completed. In this series of conventional purchase / order processing, the orderer side selects products by clicking, etc., and performs online operation processing such as purchasing and paying for products by clicking, etc. At the time of purchase usually no work is required. This conventional process is extremely efficient, automatic, and greatly contributes to cost reduction, and can reduce the man-hours of the contractor. Also, the purchaser can purchase and place an order as long as the Internet connection is possible, regardless of time and place.

  On the other hand, in the above-described conventional ordering / purchasing process, there is no real-time communication between the orderer and the contractor during the process. Rather, by intentionally rejecting real-time communication between the orderer and the contractor, purchase / ordering behavior can be made regardless of time and place.

  However, in the present invention, attention is paid to the merit of real-time communication between the orderer and the contractor, which has been intentionally rejected in the Internet mail order using the Internet line, and the subscriber such as an elderly person living alone is particularly One of the characteristics is that it is intended to maximize the benefits of this. In an era when local shopping streets were actively used as the center of purchasing, the contractors, such as shopkeepers standing at the storefront, and the buyers (orderers) who purchase regardless of age or sex ) After literally communicating face to face with each other, it was decided whether or not to buy or how many to buy. In such purchase behavior, regardless of whether the person is conscious or not, it is possible to grasp the physical condition of the conversation partner and in some cases the psychological state.

  For example, when an elderly customer comes in, the introduction of a voice message or conversation about “How is your physical condition recently? It is inferred that the conversation with a response of “about” was normally conducted between the store owner and the customer. It is the present invention that the merit based on the relative conventional conversation, which is such direct face-to-face, is re-utilized at home by Internet videophone.

  FIG. 1 is a flowchart for briefly explaining a period from when a subscriber turns on a terrestrial digital television to completion of an order receiving process according to an embodiment of the present invention. Based on FIG. 1, the process according to one embodiment of the present invention will be sequentially described below.

(Step S110)
Subscribers such as elderly people living alone (members of this service) turn on the TV for terrestrial digital broadcasting. If the terrestrial digital television is turned on, the process proceeds to step S120. If the terrestrial digital television is not turned on, the process waits in step S110.

  Although not shown in the figure, if the subscriber terminal detects that the terrestrial digital television is in a standby state where the power is not continuously turned on for a predetermined period or longer, the subscriber is notified to a predetermined report destination. It can be reported from the terminal. The predetermined report destination may be a security service provider registered in advance, such as a security company, a medical institution, or a subscriber's family.

(Step S120)
A subscriber operates the subscriber terminal remote controller to connect to the Internet. In other words, the subscriber can select a small number of menus limited by simple button press operations according to the guide screen displayed on the terrestrial digital television, and the subscriber-only cloud via the optical line. Connect to the server.

  In this case, if it is a subscriber terminal or a terrestrial digital TV with a configuration that cannot be connected to the Internet unless it is complicated and does not allow precise operations like a personal computer or smartphone, it will be useful for subscribers such as elderly people. Is considered a high hurdle. It is possible to connect to the Internet with one terminal of the subscriber terminal remote control so that the TV channel can be selected. For example, “Do you want to connect to the Internet?” Yes ”“ No ”” It is preferable that the user can easily select and input a selection instruction by pressing a remote control button or the like.

  Detailed settings and adjustments are set so that all electric shops in the town have already been set when the subscriber terminal is installed, and detailed instructions and adjustments are not required when the subscriber actually uses them. With this configuration, the subscriber terminal is greatly reduced in its mechanical freedom compared to a personal computer, smartphone, etc., but on the other hand, it is user-friendly and easy to understand for the elderly. In addition, it becomes a device in which erroneous operations are greatly reduced. It is preferable that the subscriber terminal is configured so that the subscriber can automatically connect to the Internet immediately with a single button without entering any new ID, password, or the like.

(Step S130)
When a subscriber connects to the Internet and calls a service provider such as a greengrocer from a subscriber-specific cloud server, the greengrocer responds to the call (answers an Internet videophone call (for example, turns on a call button)). Thus, a videophone line is connected. That is, by the operation such as turning on the call button, the greengrocer's terminal (subscriber terminal, personal computer, smart phone, tablet personal computer, etc.) is connected to the subscriber dedicated cloud server and makes a telephone call. Conversation with the person.

  In such a videophone, the greengrocer and the subscriber may be one-to-one, or the greengrocer and the plurality of subscribers may be integrated, and may be configured like a well-end meeting or chat. . It is important that the greengrocer can confirm the subscriber's face and voice in real time in the chat / wellside meeting concerning the order, and the number of participants in that case is arbitrary. When the greengrocer receives a phone call from a single person living alone in a certain area, the greengrocer may call all the other single elderly persons in the area and make a videophone call together to receive an order. Orders received collectively can be delivered efficiently to some extent at the time of delivery to the area, so it is efficient.

(Step S140)
The greengrocer receives an order from the subscriber for "1 potato, 1 radish and 1 carrot" based on the real-time video and audio of the subscriber. Greengrocers who touch the video and voice of real-time subscribers via Internet videophones have a relatively large chance of noticing the subscriber. If the grocery store notices something unusual, it can be reported from the grocery store to the designated reporting address.

  The predetermined report destination may be a security service provider registered in advance, such as a security company, a medical institution, or a subscriber's family. The predetermined reporting destination may be stored and registered in advance in the subscriber dedicated cloud server in association with the subscriber, or may be configured to be set in the subscriber terminal. It is assumed that notifications such as warning mails and warning calls are transmitted from a subscriber-specific cloud server or a subscriber terminal of an elderly person living alone who is the orderer to a predetermined report destination based on the trigger of the greengrocer.

  In addition, the ordered products can be delivered to the subscriber later by the greengrocer. Even in this case, there is a merit that the greengrocer can directly confirm the safety of the subscriber by delivering. By using the system of the present invention, it is possible to easily and simply use a convenient tool called Internet videophone, and to directly and indirectly incorporate person-to-person interviews and contacts. The effect and effect which united merit are produced.

  Furthermore, in order to increase the room for subscribers to select products, the grocery store wears a headset and a camera, and the subscriber confirms the captured video by photographing the vegetables of the day that are actually arranged in the store. However, it may be possible to make decisions based on conversations such as which potatoes to choose, which radish to choose, and which carrot to buy. That is, it is possible to carry out the purchasing behaviors performed by the store owner and the customer as they are through the Internet videophone in front of the display vegetables arranged in the storefront of the store. Greengrocers can make an introduction, such as “Today's lettuce is fresh and delicious from Gunma Prefecture!

  FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the outline of the concept of the entire business model using the system of the present invention. FIG. 2A shows a business flow in which an operating company manages a dedicated cloud server while receiving support from a local government. FIG. 2B is a diagram for explaining a tool that simply provides this service to elderly people.

  As shown in FIG. 2 (a), a closed network related to this service is constructed under the promotion of the local government. The local electronics store installs and maintains hardware such as subscriber terminals in the elderly's house, and the management company operates a subscriber-specific cloud server, so the elderly can enjoy this service.

  In a local store (for example, a greengrocer) that provides a service, an operating company receives an order for a product (for example, a vegetable) through a subscriber-only cloud server using an Internet videophone. In addition, for various services that cannot be provided / supplied only within the region, the company outside the region can participate as a configuration provided by the company outside the region.

  Information on the monitoring of elderly people obtained at the time of service provision (ordering) by a local store or a company outside the region is transmitted from the local store or a company outside the region to a local clinic or the like via a subscriber-specific cloud server. Assistance for elderly people living alone and elderly care homes was a shortage of manpower, including home-visit nursing care, but due to daily contact and interference by local stores via “videophone” via the Internet It is possible to secure minimum services such as monitoring information acquisition. In addition, since the center of service provision is centered on local shops and companies, the effect of regional revitalization can be obtained.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2B, many elderly people cannot freely operate smartphones, tablet terminals, and personal computers, and currently cannot enjoy Internet services. If this system is used, it is possible to easily enjoy the Internet videophone service with a simple operation. Even an elderly person can select a channel and turn the power on and off by operating the TV and its remote control, so by using a limited network connection service, it is possible to connect to the Internet with a simple button on operation, etc. A person terminal is constructed.

  FIG. 3A is a diagram for explaining the convenience that can be realized by real-time face-to-face conversation using an Internet videophone using a Web camera and a microphone, and FIG. 3B is a closed view limited to subscribers to a group. It is a figure explaining that security is safe by shutting out the connection from the network and others.

  As can be understood from FIG. 3 (a), face-to-face communication is established through the television screen by using this system. A video phone can be made using a Web camera, a microphone, and a speaker (or headphones). Since it is a terrestrial digital television that can be easily connected to the Internet, it is easy to install such a videophone. This makes it possible to easily make a videophone call with grandchildren and children living far away, or to have a telephone conversation while looking at each other with their medical institutions.

  Participating companies that are service providers (for example, greengrocers) can perform virtual shopping by selecting products while wearing real-time images of store display vegetables and the like that are sold at that time by wearing wearable cameras. In addition, if the TV is never turned on for the whole day, it has a function to automatically alert and notify family members and medical institutions, thereby providing a more complete monitoring function. Can be used as

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 3B, connection to the network of this system is limited to subscribers and their registered families, registered participating medical institutions, registered participating service providers, and the like. The security is also safe because it is closed. As a network connection limited to a group, all other external connections are shut out. Since the present invention service of Easy Net (tentative name) is provided only by the companies participating in Easy Net, there is no need to worry about security. In addition, the infrastructure uses existing terrestrial digital televisions, optical lines, internet lines, etc., so it is only necessary to install subscriber terminals and subscriber terminal remote controllers, and it is possible to construct an economical environment at a low price. . Moreover, since it is limited to only participating companies such as subscribers and service providers, it can be connected and used with peace of mind.

  FIG. 4A is a diagram for explaining a service that can be provided by the present system, and FIG. 4B is a diagram for explaining an environment necessary for receiving the service. In FIG. 4 (a), the face-to-face service via TV can be expected to expand further. For example, the provision of administrative services that can be face-to-face, the activation by increasing the services available at regional electronics stores, and the face-to-face sales of regional shops.・ Delivery, online interview service with hospitals / clinics, videophones that connect with family members, watching with connection detection with TV power supply, digital camera image storage / album service, health gymnastics distribution service by video, etc. It is done.

  In addition, it is possible to perform a simple remote control operation that can be operated by pressing only a number on an existing terrestrial digital television. By such a simple operation, as described above, various services for the elderly can be provided. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which can select a free service and a paid service easily. For online shopping, card payment is not required by collecting and paying for delivery. In addition, the delivery service at the time of delivery can be expected to have a watching effect.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 4B, the devices necessary for the simple network are an existing terrestrial digital television, an optical communication line, a dedicated tuner (subscriber terminal) + a simple remote controller and a Web camera. It is only necessary to connect a dedicated device to a terrestrial digital television already in each process.
