  Here, the hardware configuration of the signage device 10 has been described. However, since the terminal 20 and the server device 30 can also adopt the same configuration as each of the configuration units 11 to 18, the description of these hardware configurations is described here. Omitted. The terminal 20 and the server device 30 may have a hardware configuration in which other components are added to or excluded from the components 11 to 18 of the signage device 10 as necessary.

[Functional configuration of information display system]
Next, a functional configuration of the information display system 100 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 3, the signage device 10 (and the terminal 20 or the server device 30) having the hardware configuration described above operates functionally as follows when the CPU 11 executes the information display program. .

  That is, the signage device 10 functionally includes a Web browser 19a realized by software, a display control unit 19b, an information communication unit 19c, and a sensor control unit 19d. The server device 30 also functions as a Web application server, for example, and includes a Web application 31 realized by software, a data holding unit 32 included in the storage unit of the server device 30, and a Web page 33. Note that at least the functions and operations of the display control unit 19b of the signage device 10 are realized by JavaScript (registered trademark).

  The web browser 19a of the signage device 10 displays various types of information on the display unit 14 under the control of the display control unit 19b. The display control unit 19 b transmits the sensor information (environmental data and human flow data) detected by the sensor device 15 to the server device 30 and receives the related information of the sensor information from the server device 30 to display the display unit 14. Change.

  The information communication unit 19c performs communication (transmission / reception) of sensor information between the sensor control unit 19d that controls the sensor device 15 and the display control unit 19b. The sensor control unit 19d controls the operation of the sensor device 15 and appropriately acquires the detected sensor information. Note that the sensor control unit 19d presets the sensor information detected by the sensor device 15 regardless of whether or not there is a display request (sensor information acquisition request) from the display control unit 19b with the sensor device 15. It is acquired so as to be updated every fixed period.

  Specifically, the display control unit 19b acquires the sensor information from the information communication unit 19c when the display timing on the display unit 14, that is, the display on the Web browser 19a is performed, and the acquired sensor information is stored in the server device 30. To the request (for example, a web page request related to the web page 33 displayed on the web browser 19a of the signage device 10). More specifically, the display control unit 19b transmits the acquired sensor information by including it in the URL parameter of the Web page request. For example, when the acquired sensor information is “aaa = 4”, the display control unit 19b transmits a Web page request including “aaa = 4” in the parameters after the “?” Mark at the end of the URL.

  On the other hand, the Web application 31 of the server device 30 receives the sensor information from the signage device 10 together with the Web page request transmitted from the display control unit 19b. In addition, the Web application 31 stores the sensor information received from the signage device 10 in the data holding unit 32 and acquires related information (advertisement data) of the sensor information from the data holding unit 32. Furthermore, the Web application 31 transmits the acquired related information to the signage device 10 as a Web page response to the Web page request.

  The data holding unit 32 of the server device 30 stores and holds various information including advertisement data. The Web application 31 cooperates with the data holding unit 32 to appropriately execute dynamic application processing using sensor information and related information according to various target application operations. For example, the web application 31 distributes the web page 33 displayed on the web browser 19 a or passes information to the web page 33 according to the sensor information received from the signage device 10.

  As a more specific operation, in the signage device 10 configured as described above, the display control unit 19b that performs display on the display unit 14 has environmental data and human flow data as detection results of the environmental sensor 15a and the human flow sensor 15b. (Sensor information) is transmitted to the server device 30 when displayed on the Web browser 19a. The server device 30 acquires, for example, optimal advertisement data from the data holding unit 32 as related information based on the received environment data and human flow data, and transmits the acquired advertisement data to the signage device 10. And the signage apparatus 10 displays information on the display part 14 by the display control part 19b displaying on the web browser 19a using the received advertisement data. The signage device 10 may transmit the advertisement data received from the server device 30 to the terminal 20 on a carrier wave generated by a beacon of the communication module 18, for example.

  In the information display system 100 operating in this manner, the CPU 11 provided in the signage device 10 (and the terminal 20 or the server device 30) is detected by the environment sensor 15a and the human flow sensor 15b at the display timing of the web browser 19a. The sensor information is acquired, the sensor information is added to the URL parameter of the Web page request and transmitted to the server device 30, the related information of the sensor information is acquired as a Web page response, and the display on the display unit 14 is changed. Functions generally as a display control unit.

[Display operation of information display system]
Next, the display operation of the information display system 100 according to the present embodiment will be described.
First, the outline of the display operation of the information display system 100 will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, in the sensor control unit 19d of the signage device 10 at a certain point in time, sensor information is periodically updated with the sensor device 15 (S10). In this sensor information periodic update, the sensor control unit 19d acquires sensor information from the sensor device 15, and holds the acquired sensor information as the latest sensor information. Such sensor information regular update processing is performed at a predetermined cycle regardless of whether there is a display request from the display control unit 19b described later (S17, S22), and the sensor information in the sensor control unit 19d is periodically updated. Updated.

  In the display control unit 19b, when the Web browser 19a is activated (S11) and Web display is performed on the display unit 14, a display request is transmitted to the information communication unit 19c (S12). The information communication unit 19c that has received the display request transmits a sensor information request to the sensor control unit 19d (S13). The sensor control unit 19d that has received the sensor information request immediately acquires the sensor information from the sensor device 15 and transmits it as a sensor information response to the information communication unit 19c (S14).

  Then, the information communication unit 19c that has received the sensor information immediately passes the sensor information to the display control unit 19b (S15). If the information communication unit 19c fails to obtain a sensor information request / response with the sensor control unit 19d for some reason, such as a task overflow, and cannot obtain real-time sensor information, as described above. The sensor information that has been periodically updated and stored in the sensor control unit 19d may be acquired from the sensor control unit 19d, and information may be passed to the display control unit 19b.

  The display control unit 19b that has acquired the sensor information from the information communication unit 19c in this manner creates a web page request related to web display by including the sensor information in the URL parameter, and sends the created web page request to the server device 30 via the communication network 40. (S16). The Web application 31 of the server device 30 analyzes the URL parameter of the Web page request, stores the received sensor information in the data holding unit 32, and acquires related information (S18). The web application 31 passes sensor information and related information to the web page 33 specified by the URL, and sorts out the web page 33 based on the information (S19), and sends a web page response. create.

  Then, the web application 31 transmits the created web page response to the signage device 10 via the communication network 40 (S20). The display control unit 19b of the signage device 10 that has received the Web page response displays information on the display unit 14 by performing Web display according to the received Web page response using the Web browser 19a (S21).

  As described above, according to the information display system 100 according to the present embodiment, sensor information is added and transmitted to the server device 30 when a web page is requested by the web browser 19a, so that dynamic information based on the transmitted sensor information is obtained. Web display switching and data holding can be performed, and sensor information can be communicated between the devices 10 and 30 only at a necessary timing.

  As a result, it is possible to display information dynamically while suppressing the processing load of communication processing. Further, it is not necessary to prepare a new communication unit or communication path for obtaining sensor information on the server device 30 side, and even if the number of Web applications 31 increases, communication of sensor information can be performed only by the display timing of the Web browser 19a. Since it is performed together with the web page request, it is possible to reduce the processing load of communication processing while saving communication resources.

Next, a case where an advertisement is specifically displayed using the information display system 100 will be described as an example.
First, as illustrated in FIG. 5A, as an example, in the signage device 10, an advertisement “profit information on peripheral facilities” is displayed on the display unit 14 for a predetermined display time by the Web browser 19 a. Suppose that

  At this time, the environmental sensor 15a detects environmental data such as temperature and humidity around the apparatus, and the human flow sensor 15b detects human flow data relating to the number and movement of people h in the sensing area 15c. The human flow data (sensor information) is updated in the signage device 10 without being transmitted to the server device 30.

  Here, in the server device 30, for example, the number of people h in the sensing area 15 c of the signage device 10 is less than a predetermined number and the discomfort index based on temperature and humidity is lower than a predetermined value by the web application 31 related to advertisement display. If it is lower, an advertisement display operation in which an advertisement of “shopping information at XX station” is displayed next to the advertisement of “profit information on nearby facilities” is executed.

  Then, after a predetermined display time has actually passed, the advertisement displayed on the display unit 14 by the web browser 19a is switched from “neighboring facility discount information” to “shopping information at XX station”. Assume that the number of people h in the sensing area 15c is increasing, for example, as shown in FIG.

  In this case, the environment data and the human flow data acquired from the sensor device 15 and transmitted in the web page request at the display timing when the display control unit 19b switches to the web display of “shopping information of XXX station” are transmitted to the server device. 30 web applications 31 analyze. As a result of the analysis, it is assumed that the number of people h in the sensing area 15c is greater than a predetermined number and that the discomfort index is higher than a predetermined value.

  In accordance with the analysis result, the Web application 31 replaces, for example, with the advertisement “shopping information of XXX station” that should be displayed originally, and the increased number of people and the increased discomfort as the related information of the analysis result (sensor information). Web page that is dynamically switched to display the advertisement “Cold drinks best 5 of company A” selected and acquired from the data holding unit 32 so as to match the index on the display unit 14 of the signage device 10 Send a response.

  In the signage device 10 that has received this web page response, the display control unit 19b replaces the advertisement for “shopping information for XXX station” with the advertisement for “shopping information for XX station” after the advertisement for “profit information on nearby facilities”. The advertisement of “5 popular cold drinks” is displayed on the display unit 14 by the Web browser 19a for a predetermined display time. Thus, in the advertisement display using the information display system 100, the sensor information is included in the Web page request in the signage device 10 and transmitted to the server device 30, and the sensor information is analyzed and selected / acquired by the server device 30. The related information can be transmitted to the signage device 10 as a web page response, so that the processing load of the communication processing is reduced as compared with the conventional advertisement display in which the advertisement and the sensor information are asynchronously transmitted and received by another route. It is possible to realize advertisement display that performs dynamic display switching.

  Such advertisement display can be similarly performed on the display unit 24 of the terminal 20 in addition to the display unit 14 of the signage device 10. When the information display system 100 including the terminal 20 is operated as an advertisement system, for example, the following advertisement display can be performed. First, when the signage device 10 and the terminal 20 acquire sensor information at the display timing on the display unit 14 and the display unit 24 by the Web browser 19a, a request for a Web page including the sensor information is sent to the server device 30 via the communication network 40. Send.

  In the server device 30, various advertisement data stored in the data holding unit 32, various advertisement data related to such data, and external external data according to the sensor information received together with the web page request by the web application 31. The advertisement data that can be acquired from a server device (not shown) or the like is selected and acquired.

  The server device 30 stores advertisement data, that is, condition data for switching display contents on the display unit 14 of the signage device 10 and the display unit 24 of the terminal 20 in the data holding unit 32 according to the sensor information. 31 selects advertisement data corresponding to the condition data and transmits it to the signage device 10 and the terminal 20 via the communication network 40. In the signage device 10 and the terminal 20, when the CPU 11 receives the advertisement data, the CPU 11 displays the advertisement data on the display unit 14 or the display unit 24.

  As described above, the signage device 10 and the terminal 20 obtain the advertisement data related to the detection results of the environment sensor 15a and the human flow sensor 15b from the server device 30, so that the display of the display unit 14 and the display unit 24 is switched. For example, an advertisement message is displayed on the display unit 14 and the display unit 24 in accordance with the temperature difference from the previous day, the sensory temperature, the amount of pollen splashed, etc., or the advertisement of a restaurant according to the number of people near the device and the time zone Or display advertisements.

  More specifically, when the server device 30 determines that the “hot day” is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature, a “beer garden advertisement” is displayed, or there is a predetermined number of people in front of the signage device 10. When it is judged that there are many people, the advertisement display conditions and the display contents (advertising data) corresponding to these conditions are managed, such as displaying “event advertisements”. It is possible to display the contents of advertisements that match the data. Also, advertisement data that does not correspond to the conditions can be displayed.

  In addition, advertisement data related to the detection results of the environment sensor 15 a and the human flow sensor 15 b are transmitted to the communication module 18 via the communication network 40. The communication module 18 transmits the received advertisement data to the terminal 20 as a URL or a banner, for example. In this way, the terminal 20 can obtain advertisement data corresponding to the acquired environmental data and human flow data.

  And the terminal 20 can acquire various information, such as the further detailed data regarding the received advertisement data, the access method (a route, a telephone number, etc.) to the store regarding a coupon and an advertisement, for example. As an example, first, when the communication module 18 transmits data such as URL of advertisement data to the terminal 20, the information receiving application of the terminal 20 is activated, and this data is displayed on the display unit 24 of the terminal 20 by the Web browser 19a. Let

And the position information (Pt) are transmitted to the server device 30 via the communication network 40. The server device 30 transmits to the terminal 20 detailed information such as coupons and store access information and a Web page response for Web display on the display unit 24 as push notifications according to the transmitted information.

  In the terminal 20, when the CPU 11 receives the URL of the advertisement data from the communication module 18, information indicating that the advertisement data has been received is displayed on the display unit 24 of the terminal 20, for example, “Received advantageous information”. The When the terminal 20 detects that the “OK” button displayed on the screen is clicked by the input device 16, for example, as the details of the advertisement, it exists near the terminal 20, for example, coupon information. Information such as data on famous stores is displayed.

  Further, when the input device 16 detects that, for example, a “nearby famous store” is clicked, a coupon for a plurality of stores, desired “route to store” information, etc. are displayed as further detailed data. 24. Further, for example, when it is detected that “Route to shop” is selected by the input device 16, the map application is activated on the terminal 20, and the route to “Shop” is based on the location information of the terminal 20. Can be guided.

  When the terminal 20 is moving toward the store according to the map application, additional information can be received from the signage device 10 or the communication module 18 of the terminal 20 existing along the route. For example, when the terminal 20 receives the store information transmitted by the communication module 18, it is possible to obtain more detailed route guidance to the store as “Next is the right side after crossing the signal”. Needless to say, the display and wording of such screens are not limited to those described above and can be arbitrarily changed.

  Note that such advertisement display on the terminal 20 is also transmitted by including the sensor information from the sensor device 15 of the terminal 20 in the Web page request to the server apparatus 30 and analyzing the sensor information at the server apparatus 30 and selecting it. The acquired related information can be transmitted to the terminal 20 as a Web page response. Thereby, also in the terminal 20, the advertisement display which can suppress the processing load of communication processing and can perform dynamic display switching can be realized.

  As described above, according to the signage device 10, the information display system 100, and the information display program as the information display device according to the present embodiment, sensor information is added and transmitted when a web page is requested. It is possible to save communication resources while suppressing the load and perform dynamic Web application processing based on the transmitted sensor information.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this embodiment is shown as an example and is not intending limiting the range of invention. The novel embodiment can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. These embodiments and modifications thereof are included in the scope and gist of the invention, and are included in the invention described in the claims and the equivalents thereof.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the signage device 10 is simply installed in an area where many people go and gather together is described as an example, but the display unit 14 faces at least two signage devices 10. You may make it install so that it may become. In this way, two or more signage devices 10 are installed in pairs, and the human flow data obtained from each human flow sensor 15b is processed by the CPU 11, so that more accurate human flow data than when used alone is obtained. The advantage is obtained.

  In addition, the signage device 10 issues a warning or the like from the output device 17 when the environmental sensor 15a detects a sudden change, or other abnormal environmental data or warning is connected via the communication network 40 via the communication module 18. The signage device 10 may be shared. For example, when the environmental sensor 15a detects an abnormally high temperature, it is determined that the signage device 10 has failed or fired, and a warning is displayed on the display unit 14 or a warning is given to the terminal 20 via the communication module 18. Or may be configured to notify. For example, when the environment sensor 15a detects high humidity, it can be determined that it is raining and can be displayed.

  Further, in the signage device 10 installed indoors, if the environmental sensor 15a built in the housing is installed, for example, in the vicinity of an indoor intake fan (not shown), environmental data closer to the outside air by the environmental sensor 15a. Will be able to get. Furthermore, the environment sensor 15a is installed in the vicinity of the upper end (top) of the casing of the signage device 10 to monitor the environmental change, so that, for example, the correlation between the amount of solar radiation and the temperature rise can be grasped. Therefore, it is possible to display an alert for heat stroke on the display unit 14. As described above, the signage device 10 and the like according to the present embodiment can also implement the configuration and operation of the terminal 20 and can display only advertisements in cooperation with the server device 30 that executes the Web application 31. First, information display such as dynamic display switching of related information using sensor information can be performed. The information display device is not limited to the signage device 10, and the present invention can be applied to other display devices.
