Description

The present invention relates to a technique for supporting browsing of content related to a product.

In recent years, the contents of instruction manuals for products such as home appliances and communication devices have tended to be published on the websites of manufacturers. Even if the user does not have the instruction manual, it is convenient because he / she can access it immediately and refer to the instruction manual.

However, it is not immediately clear where the content of the instruction manual for the product purchased by the user is located. Therefore, the inventors have devised a technology for a browsing support service that collects storage location information of the contents of instruction manuals for various products and publishes them on a Web server.

In the browsing support service, if the user registers the product purchased by himself / herself in the smartphone application linked with the browsing support service, the instruction manual of the registered product can be browsed at any time.

In addition to the instruction manuals, related contents such as product introductions and word-of-mouth are also published on the website.

[Embodiment]
The browsing support system according to the present embodiment includes instruction manuals for equipment such as home appliances, gas appliances and water appliances, and products such as parking lots, water supply equipment and electrical equipment (hereinafter referred to as "products"). Make it easier for user terminals to browse product-related information such as product introduction web pages. The products to be browsed are products individually registered by the user or products attached to the condominium in which the user has moved in.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration example of a browsing support system.
The user terminals 100a to 100c and the like have a function of connecting to the Internet and a function of a Web browser. When the user terminals 100a to 100c and the like are collectively referred to, or when there is no particular distinction, they are collectively referred to as "user terminal 100". Hereinafter, the user terminal 100 will be described as being a smartphone. However, the user terminal 100 may be a mobile phone terminal other than a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a personal computer, or the like. In the embodiment, it is assumed that the user terminal 100 operates with an application program as in the native application method on a smartphone.

For example, Web servers 300a to 300c that provide websites of product manufacturers are connected to the Internet. When the websites 300a to 300c and the like are collectively referred to, or when there is no particular distinction, they are collectively referred to as "website 300". On the manufacturer's website, for example, a product instruction manual and a product introduction Web page are published. The user can browse the information related to the product by the user terminal 100. That is, the user terminal 100 accesses the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) in which the product instruction manual and the product introduction Web page are stored in the Web server 300, and displays the product instruction manual and the product introduction Web page. Can be displayed. Product instruction manuals and product introduction Web pages are examples of product-related information (hereinafter referred to as "product-related information").

The product management server 200 is connected to the Internet. The user downloads the smartphone application for using the browsing support service on the product management server 200 to the user terminal 100. When the product to be viewed by the user is registered in the smartphone application, the product management server 200 introduces the URL of the instruction manual and the product introduction regarding the product registered by the user on the user terminal 100 (hereinafter referred to as "registered product"). Provide the URL of the Web page. The smartphone application accesses the provided URL, acquires content data such as an instruction manual and a Web page of product introduction, and displays these product-related information on the display of the user terminal 100. By doing so, the labor of the user searching for the instruction manual and the Web page of the product introduction is reduced, and the information related to these products can be easily browsed. Further, in the present embodiment, when the user registers the condominium in which he / she has moved in, the function of automatically collectively registering the products attached to the condominium is also realized.

Hereinafter, in relation to FIGS. 2 to 10, the user interface of the smartphone application, the structure of various data, and the outline of the operation in the browsing support system will be described.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a main screen in an initial state.
When the user activates the smartphone application downloaded to the user terminal 100, the main screen in the initial state shown in FIG. 2 is displayed. As will be described later in relation to FIGS. 5 and 9, the main screen is a screen for the user to confirm the registered product or condominium and select the product or condominium to display the related information. In the initial state, neither the product nor the condominium is registered, so nothing is displayed regarding the product and the condominium.

The main screen includes an authentication code input button 402 and a product registration button 404. When the user intends to register the condominium, he / she touches the authentication code input button 402. When the authentication code input button 402 is touched, the screen transitions to the authentication code input screen. On the authentication code input screen, an authentication code for authenticating the resident is accepted. The authentication code input screen will be described later in relation to FIG. 7.

When the user wants to register the product individually, he / she touches the product registration button 404. The user registers a product that he / she owns or a product that he / she is considering purchasing. The following shows an example in which a user registers a camera and a television. When the product registration button 404 is touched, the screen transitions to the product search screen.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a product search screen.
The product search screen is a screen for identifying a product that the user intends to register by using the product search function of the product management server 200. The product search screen includes a product code input area 410, a candidate list display area 412, and a soft keyboard 414. The product code input area 410 is an area for inputting a string of characters or numbers indicating the product code. The candidate list display area 412 is an area for displaying a candidate list in which product codes of selection candidates are arranged. When a character or number key of the soft keyboard 414 is touched, the character or number corresponding to the touched key is input to the product code input area 410.

The product code is the product name and / or product number. For products for which only the product name is used, the product name is used as the product code. For products for which only the product number is used, the product number is used as the product code. For products for which the product name and product number are used, the product name and product number are used as the product code. You can search for a product by entering either the product name or the product number on the product search screen.

Every time a character or number is input to the product code input area 410 by touching a key of the soft keyboard 414, the input character or number string is transmitted to the product management server 200. The product management server 200 extracts a product code that exactly or partially matches the received character or number string from the product code that is stored internally, and corresponds to the extracted product code and the product code. Generate a candidate list in which product ID pairs are arranged. The product ID is a value uniquely assigned to each product in order to identify each product in the browsing support system. The generated candidate list is sent to the user terminal 100. The user terminal 100 displays the product code included in the received candidate list in the candidate list display area 412. Product IDs included in the candidate list are not displayed.

The user selects a registered product by touching any of the product codes included in the candidate list. That is, the product of the product code touched in the candidate list display area 412 is registered.

This example shows the display at the time when the user tries to register the camera with the product number "ABC-123" and inputs "ABC-1". The product management server 200 extracts the product codes of "ABC-123", "ABC-124", and "ABC-125" that partially match "ABC-1", and displays them as a candidate list on the user terminal 100. When the user touches the product code "ABC-123", the desired camera is registered as a viewing target. Further, it is assumed that the user has also registered the television with the product number "STU-456" according to this operation procedure.

Registered products are managed in the registered product list (not shown). The product ID of the registered product is set in the registered product list. That is, the registered product is specified by the product ID set in the registered product list. In this example, it is assumed that the product ID "0123456789" of the camera and the product ID "0022446688" of the television are set in the registered product list. For products individually registered by the user, "user registered product" is set as an attribute. The registered product list is managed by the user terminal 100 or the product management server 200. In this embodiment, the registered product list is managed in the user terminal 100. An example of managing the registered product list on the product management server 200 will be described in Modification 2.

If the product ID is set in the registered product list at the stage of displaying the main screen, the user terminal 100 acquires the product management data and the product image file corresponding to the product ID from the product management server 200. In this example, the camera product management data and the camera product image file corresponding to the camera product ID "0123456789" are acquired, and the TV product management data and the TV product image corresponding to the TV product ID "0022446688" are acquired. Get the file. As described above, in the present embodiment, the product management data and the product image file are acquired from the product management server 200 each time the main screen is displayed. However, as another method, the product management data and the product image file once acquired are stored in the user terminal 100, and the next time the main screen is displayed, the product management data and the product held in the user terminal 100 are stored. An image file may be used. An example of holding the product management data and the product image file in the user terminal 100 will be described in Modification 1.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of product management data. The product management data illustrated in FIG. 4 relates to a camera. A product other than a camera, for example, product management data related to a television has a similar configuration.

The product management data has a set of content type and URL for each product ID, product code, product image file, manufacturer name, and product-related information. This example relates to a camera, which is a registered product. Specifically, it indicates that the product with the product code "ABC-123" is identified by the product ID "0123456789" and is sold by the manufacturer "ABC Industry". It also shows that the product image file "ABC-123.png" is attached. Furthermore, regarding this product (camera), the content of the "instruction manual" can be obtained from the URL "https://abc.jp/m/123.pdf", and the content of the "official site" that introduces the product is the URL "https: //abc.jp/m/123.pdf". It is shown that it can be obtained from "https://abc.jp/p/123.html". The URL of the "instruction manual" assumes that the file "123.pdf" of the "instruction manual" is stored in the Web server 300 of the manufacturer's website whose domain name is "abc.jp". There is. That is, when viewing the "instruction manual", the Web server 300 of the manufacturer's website is accessed. However, the file of the "instruction manual" may be retained in the product management server 200. In that case, the URL of the "instruction manual" includes the domain name "xyz.jp" of the product management server 200, and the user terminal 100 accesses the product management server 200 and files the "instruction manual". Obtain and display the "Instruction Manual". The URL of the above-mentioned "official site" assumes that the HTML (HyperText Markup Language) file "123.html" of the Web page introducing the product is stored in the Web server 300 of the manufacturer's website. ..

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a main screen in a state where the product is registered.
This example shows a state in which a camera having a product number "ABC-123" and a television having a product number "STU-456" are registered. As shown, a product image display area 406 and a product code display area 408 corresponding to each registered product are provided on the main screen.

In the product image display area 406a, the image of the camera developed from the product image file "ABC-123.png" of the camera is displayed. The product code "ABC-123" of the camera is displayed in the product code display area 408a. In the product image display area 406b, a television image developed from the television product image file is displayed. In addition, the TV product code "STU-456" is displayed in the product code display area 408b.

Here, an example in which the product number is displayed as the product code is shown, but in the case of a product in which the product name is used, the product name is displayed in the product code display area 408. Further, in the case of a product in which the product name and the product number are used, the product name and the product number are displayed in the product code display area 408.

When the user touches the product image display area 406 or the product code display area 408, the screen transitions to the product screen related to the product. Here, the description will be continued on the assumption that the product image display area 406a or the product code display area 408a of the camera is touched.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a product screen.
This example is the product screen of the camera displayed when the product image display area 406a or the product code display area 408a of the camera shown in FIG. 5 is touched by the user. The product screen is a screen for instructing the user to browse product-related information related to the registered product, and to instruct to refer to or edit the product record. The product screen is displayed based on the product management data. The product record is a record that the user arbitrarily writes as a memorandum. The details of the product record will be described later.

The product screen includes a product code display area 416, a product image display area 418, a product-related information menu 420, and a product record menu 422. In this example, the product code "ABC-123" of the camera is displayed in the product code display area 416, and the camera developed from the product image file "ABC-123.png" of the camera is displayed in the product image display area 418. Product image is displayed.

In the item of the product-related information menu 420, the content type set in the product management data is displayed. In this example, the items "Instruction Manual" and "Official Site" are displayed. When the user touches the item "Instruction Manual" of the product-related information menu 420, the PDF (Portable) obtained from the URL "https://abc.jp/m/123.pdf" corresponding to the content type "Instruction Manual". Document Format) The expanded document image of the file "123.pdf" is displayed. When the user touches the item "official site" of the product-related information menu 420, the HTML file "123." Obtained from the URL "https://abc.jp/p/123.html" corresponding to the content type "official site". The Web page where "html" is expanded is displayed.

In the product record menu 422, predetermined items common to each product are displayed. The predetermined items in this example are a "purchase date" and a "free column". The contents of these items can be arbitrarily edited and left by the user. The content edited by the user is held in the user terminal 100 as a product record. The user terminal 100 is provided with an area for storing product records for each registered product. The product record includes a "purchase date" field and a "free field" field associated with the product ID. Date data is set in the "Purchase date" field, and character string data is set in the "Free field" field.

When the user touches the item "purchase date" of the product record menu 422, the screen switches to the purchase date screen that displays the date set in the "purchase date" field of the product record. If the date is not set, the date will not be displayed on the purchase date screen. When the user edits the date on the purchase date screen, the edited date is written in the "Purchase date" field of the product record. For example, if the date "2019/1/5" is entered as the camera purchase date on the purchase date screen, the date "2019/1/5" will be displayed in the "Purchase date" field of the product record corresponding to the product ID "0123456789". Written. The next time the user touches the "purchase date" item on the camera product screen, the date "2019/1/5" will be displayed as the camera purchase date.

When the user touches the item "free column" of the product record menu 422, the screen switches to the free column screen for displaying the character string set in the "free column" field of the product record. If the character string is not set, the character string will not be displayed on the free field screen. When the user edits the character string on the free field screen, the edited character string is written in the "free field" field of the product record corresponding to the product ID. For example, if the character string "for family" is entered as a memo about the camera on the free field screen, the character string "for family" is written in the "free field" field of the product record corresponding to the product ID "0123456789". The next time the user touches the "free column" item on the camera product screen, the character string "family" will be displayed as a memo about the camera.

When the user touches the cancel button 423, the product registration on this product screen is deleted. For example, when the cancel button 423 is touched on the product screen of the camera, the product ID of the camera is deleted from the registered product list. Then, the next time the main screen is displayed, the product image display area 406a and the product code display area 408a of the camera are not displayed.

From here, the operation of registering the condominium in which the user has moved in will be described. When the user registers the condominium, it is necessary to enter the authentication code for authenticating the resident. If the resident is authenticated by the authentication code, the information related to the condominium (hereinafter referred to as "condominium-related information") can be viewed, and the products attached to the condominium can be registered collectively. Therefore, if you register the condominium, you will be able to immediately browse the information related to the products attached to the condominium.

The authentication code is managed by the resident authentication data held in the product management server 200. In the resident authentication data, a unique authentication code is set for the combination of the condominium ID and the room number. For example, if the condominium ID that identifies the condominium "Iroha Maison" in which the user has moved in is "0000000001" and the room number of the room in which the user has moved in is "201", the condominium ID "0000000001" and the room number "201" The authentication code "4967121025" for authenticating the resident of this room is set in association with the set of "." Then, the authentication code "4967121025" is transmitted to the user from the developer or the operator of the product management server 200. If you set a different authentication code for each room, you can handle different products that come with each room. In other words, there is no excess or deficiency in the registration of accessory products. However, if the attached product is the same depending on the room, a common authentication code may be set in each room. In that case, a unique authentication code is set for the condominium ID in the resident authentication data. Then, the user who moves into any room will use the same authentication code.

When the user touches the authentication code input button 402 on the menu screen (see FIG. 2), the screen transitions to the authentication code input screen. The touch of the authentication code input button 402 is accepted regardless of whether the individual product registration has already been performed or has not been performed yet. In other words, you can register your condominium at any time.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of an authentication code input screen.
The authentication code input screen is a screen for accepting an authentication code input by a user operation. The authentication code input screen includes an authentication code input area 424, a send button 426, and a soft keyboard 414. The authentication code input area 424 is an area for inputting an authentication code. The send button 426 is a button for the user to instruct the user to send the authentication code. In this example, when the user operates the soft keyboard 414 to input the authentication code "4967121025" into the authentication code input area 424 and touches the send button 426, the authentication code "4967121025" is transmitted to the product management server 200.

When the product management server 200 receives the authentication code, it authenticates the resident based on the resident authentication data. If the resident authentication data includes an authentication code that matches the received authentication code, the resident authentication is successful. If the resident authentication data does not include an authentication code that matches the received authentication code, the resident authentication will fail. If the resident authentication fails, the condominium will not be registered. If the resident authentication is successful, the condominium ID associated with the authentication code in the resident authentication data is transmitted to the user terminal 100. In this example, the condominium ID "0000000001" corresponding to the authentication code "4967121025" is transmitted to the user terminal 100.

The user terminal 100 adds the received condominium ID to the registered condominium list (not shown). That is, the registered condominiums are managed in the registered condominium list. In this example, the condominium ID "0000000001" is set in the registered condominium list. The condominium ID in the registered condominium list is used when acquiring condominium management data in the display processing of the main screen. That is, the user terminal 100 can acquire the condominium management data corresponding to the condominium ID. The registered condominium list is managed by the user terminal 100 or the product management server 200. In this embodiment, the registered condominium list is managed by the user terminal 100. An example of managing the registered condominium list on the product management server 200 will be described in Modification 2.

Further, the product management server 200 transmits the product ID of the product attached to the condominium to the user terminal 100, and registers the product attached to the condominium on the user terminal 100. The products attached to the condominium are managed by the accessory product list held by the product management server 200. Specifically, in the accessory product list, the product ID of the product attached to the condominium is set in association with the pair of the condominium ID and the room number. If an intercom and a gas stove are attached to the room of the condominium, the accessory product list includes the intercom product ID "11335577799" and the gas stove product ID "1133557779" in association with the pair of the condominium ID "0000000001" and the room number "201". 9876543210 "is set. The product ID "11335577799" of the intercom and the product ID "9876543210" of the gas stove are added to the registered product list held by the user terminal 100. For products that are collectively registered as condominium accessory products, "condominium attachment registration" and condominium ID "0000000001" are set as attributes.

If the condominium ID is set in the registered condominium list at the stage of displaying the main screen (see FIG. 5), the user terminal 100 acquires the condominium management data and the condominium image file corresponding to the condominium ID from the product management server 200. .. In this example, the condominium management data and the condominium image file corresponding to the condominium ID "0000000001" are acquired. As described above, in the present embodiment, the condominium management data and the condominium image file are acquired from the product management server 200 each time the main screen is displayed. However, as another method, the condominium management data and the condominium image file once acquired are stored in the user terminal 100, and the next time the main screen is displayed, the condominium management data and the condominium held in the user terminal 100 are stored. An image file may be used. An example of holding the condominium management data and the condominium image file in the user terminal 100 will be described in Modification 1.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of condominium management data.
The condominium management data has a set of content type and URL for each condominium ID, condominium name, condominium image file, developer name, and condominium-related information. This example shows that the condominium with the condominium name "Iroha Maison" was identified by the condominium ID "0000000001" and sold by the developer "Iroha Real Estate". It also shows that the condominium image file "iroha-123.png" is attached. Furthermore, regarding this condominium, the content of "property overview" can be obtained from the URL "https://xyz.jp/m/iroha.html", and the content of "equipment description" can be obtained from the URL "https://xyz.jp/f". It is shown that it can be obtained from "/iroha.pdf".

The URL of the "property overview" assumes that the product management server 200 whose domain name is "xyz.jp" is provided with the "property overview" Web page. That is, when browsing the "property overview" Web page, the product management server 200 is accessed. However, the Web page of the "property overview" may be provided on the Web server 300 of the developer's website. In that case, the Web server 300 of the developer's website is accessed and the "property overview" Web page is displayed.
