When there is an input for the advertisement information (YES in step S1502), the QR code processing unit 213 determines whether the input is an input for purchasing a product related to the advertisement information (step S1503).

If the input is an input for purchasing a product related to advertising information (YES in step S1503), the QR code processing unit 213 instructs the display processing unit 212 to display the QR code corresponding to the purchased product. .. According to this instruction, the display processing unit 212 displays the QR code corresponding to the purchased product together with the QR code for QR code payment (step S1504). On the other hand, when the input does not indicate the purchase of the product (NO in step S1503), the display processing unit 212 displays another advertisement related to the displayed advertisement information (step S1505). The advertisement information to be displayed at this time may be acquired in advance at the timing of acquiring the displayed advertisement information from the server 10, or may be acquired at the timing of receiving the input for the advertisement information from the user. .. If the input does not indicate the purchase of the product, other advertising information may not be displayed.

In this case, the actual product may or may not be brought from the sales location by the clerk. Alternatively, if the store has an automatic transportation system that transports the product to the cash register or the product delivery place, the product ID corresponding to the QR code displayed on the terminal 20 is specified at the timing read by the cash register or the like. The product corresponding to the specified product ID may be configured to be transported to a cash register or a product delivery place. As an example, not a limitation, a warehouse for arranging products and a transport device such as a belt conveyor connecting the warehouse and the product delivery place will be provided. Then, in the warehouse, a robot that arranges the products in the warehouse on the belt conveyor is arranged. The product ID read at the cash register is transmitted to the robot, and the robot arranges the product corresponding to the received product ID on the belt conveyor. As a result, the product purchased by the user is automatically sent to the delivery place.

FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen displayed in the display area of the display unit 24. FIG. 16A shows a screen before touching the advertisement information, and FIG. 16B shows a screen after touching the advertisement information. Then, FIG. 16C shows a screen after deciding to purchase the product.

As shown in FIG. 16A, the QR code 1600 for QR code payment is displayed in the display area of the display unit 24 of the terminal 20. In addition, the advertisement information 1601 is also displayed together with the QR code 1600. The advertisement information 1601 may or may not be configured to accept touch input from the user. Here, it is assumed that the advertisement information 1601 is configured to accept input from the user. As shown in FIG. 16A, the terminal 20 receives an input for the advertisement information 1601 from the user.

Then, as shown in FIG. 16B, the terminal 20 displays a UI (user interface) 1620 asking whether or not to purchase a product related to the advertisement information touched by the user. The UI 1620 includes a button 1621 for accepting the affirmation of the user and a button 1622 for accepting the denial from the user. FIG. 16B shows a user agreeing to purchase the product and touching the button 1621.

FIG. 16C shows an example of a display screen displayed on the terminal 20 following FIG. 16B. As shown in FIG. 16 (c), when the terminal 20 receives a product purchase instruction related to the advertisement information displayed by the user, the terminal 20 uses the terminal 20 to purchase the product at the cash register. Display the barcode 1631.

At the cash register, by reading the barcode of the product held by the user and the displayed barcode 1631 together with the user's QR code 1600, in addition to the product originally intended to be purchased by the user, products related to advertising information Can also be purchased at the same time. The actual product corresponding to the barcode 1631 may be searched by the store clerk from inside the store and handed to the user. Note that FIG. 16 (c) shows an example of displaying the barcode 1631 of the product purchased together with the QR code 1600 for QR code payment, but as shown in FIG. 16 (d), FIG. 16 (c). ), Instead of the barcode 1631 of the product, the QR code 1600 may be hidden, and a new QR code 1641 containing information on the purchase of the purchased product may be generated and displayed.

In FIG. 16, the purchase is made via FIG. 16 (b), but with the permission of the user, from the display mode of FIG. 16 (a), the purchase is made without going through FIG. 16 (b). It may be possible to shift to the display mode shown in FIG. 16 (c). That is, the terminal 20 accepts the touch input for the advertisement information 1601 shown in FIG. 16A as the purchase intention of the user by touching the advertisement information 1601 and displays the screen shown in FIG. 16C. May be good. Further, the terminal 20 is supposed to display the barcode 1631 corresponding to the product, but this is not an indispensable configuration. The terminal 20 transmits information indicating that the user intends to purchase an additional product to the server 10, and transmits information indicating that the user has an additional product from the server 10 to the cash register of the store where the user is located. This may be configured so that the user can purchase a product related to the advertising information.

<Modified Example 3>
In the third embodiment, the case of purchasing the product related to the advertisement touched by the user has been described. In this modification, the processing when the advertisement information displayed on the terminal 20 is related to some application, particularly an application that requires payment of money (charge is generated) when used, will be described. The billing here includes the purchase of the application for using the application itself and the charge for purchasing the currency within the application that can be used within the application. This billing may be performed with or without the application being launched.

FIG. 17 is a sequence diagram showing exchanges between each device in the communication system 1 when executing application billing.

As shown in FIG. 17, after displaying the advertisement information, the terminal 20 accepts the input for the advertisement from the user. Then, it is determined whether the received input indicates the purchase of the product (step S1701).

When the input for the advertisement is a billing instruction for the application, the terminal 20 transmits to that effect to the server 10 (step S1702).

The server 10 receives an instruction from the terminal 20 and executes a charge for the application (step S1703). Here, the billing by the server 10 means that if the application is distributed by the server 10, the user of the terminal 20 is requested to pay money as the usage amount, and the application is distributed by another person. If so, the fee is collected from the user and payment is made to others.

FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the terminal 20 for realizing the exchange shown in FIG. The terminal 20 displays the advertisement information together with the QR code. As shown in FIG. 18, the input / output unit 23 of the terminal 20 determines whether or not there is an input for the displayed advertisement information (step S1801). If there is no input for the advertisement information (NO in step S1801), the process proceeds to step S1809.

When there is an input for the advertisement information (YES in step S1801), the control unit 21 determines whether or not the displayed advertisement is related to the application (step S1802). If it is determined that the displayed advertisement is related to the application (YES in step S1802), the control unit 21 determines whether the application is already installed in the terminal 20 (step S1803). If the displayed advertisement is not related to the application (NO in step S1802), further advertisement information related to the advertisement information is acquired and displayed (step S1806), and the process proceeds to step S1809. The advertisement information acquired here may be a still image, a moving image, or text information.

If the application related to the displayed advertisement information has already been installed (YES in step S1803), it is determined whether or not the input for the advertisement information is an instruction for charging the application (step S1804).

When the input for the advertisement information is the input for billing for the application (YES in step S1804), the server sends a billing request including the application ID indicating which application the application is for and the user ID indicating the user of the terminal 20. It is transmitted to 10 (step S1805). As a result, the user of the terminal 20 is charged.

On the other hand, when the application related to the advertisement information has not been installed (NO in step S1803), the control unit 21 acquires a guidance screen for guiding the installation of the application, and the display processing unit 212 acquires the acquired unexpected screen. Is displayed in the display area of the display unit 24. The acquisition of the guidance screen is not limited, but as an example, the URL of the web content that guides the installation of the application associated with the advertisement information may or may not be acquired. Alternatively, when the advertisement information is acquired from the server 10, it may or may not be realized by acquiring the guidance information transmitted to the server 10 together with the advertisement information.

The input / output unit 23 determines whether or not there is an input of an installation instruction from the user (step S1807). When there is an input from the user, the input / output unit 23 transmits the input content to the control unit 21. Then, the control unit 21 determines whether the input indicates the execution of the installation of the application. When the input indicates the installation of the application (YES in step S1807), the control unit 21 acquires the installation package of the application and executes the installation (step S1808). If the input does not indicate the installation of the application (NO in step S1807), the process proceeds to step S1809.

The terminal 20 determines whether or not the payment has been completed (step S1809). If the settlement is not completed (NO in step S1809), the process returns to the process of step S1801, and if the settlement is completed (YES in step S1809), the process is terminated.

In the process shown in FIG. 18, the process when the advertisement is not related to the application (from NO in step S1802 to the process in S1806) is not an essential process and may not be executed. Similarly, the process when the advertisement is related to the application and the application is not installed on the terminal 20 (from NO in step S1803 to the processes in steps S1807 and S1808) is not an essential process and is not executed. May be good.

As described above, the advertisement information may be related to an application such as a game, and may be configured to execute billing when input from the user for the advertisement information is received. Further, in this modification, an example of charging for the application is shown, but the input for the advertisement information may be a purchase on the EC site, and the product purchased in that case is a predetermined destination (for example,). , The delivery to the user's home of the terminal 20) may be realized by accepting the purchase of the product. The fee for the application may be paid to the server (operator) that distributes the application via the server 10, or the server (operator) that distributes the application directly from the user of the terminal 20. ) May be paid.

FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the server 10 for realizing the exchange shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 19, the communication I / F 14 of the server 10 receives an application billing request from the terminal 20 (step S1901). When the communication I / F 14 receives the billing request of the application, it transmits it to the control unit 11.

Upon receiving the billing request of the application, the control unit 11 identifies which application the billing request is for (step S1902). The control unit 11 identifies the application from the application ID included in the billing request.

Since the specified application is distributed by itself, the control unit 11 specifies whether or not the specified application is distributed by another person (step S1903). If the specified application is distributed by itself (YES in step S1903), the user of the terminal 20 is charged from the own device (step S1904).

If the specified application is not distributed by itself (NO in step S1903), the control unit 11 collects the charge amount of the application from the user and transmits the collected charge amount to the other person who distributed the application. (Step S1905), the process is terminated.

FIG. 20 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen when the advertisement information is an advertisement related to an application and the application has already been installed.

FIG. 20A is a diagram showing a display example in which the advertisement information 2001 related to the game application is displayed together with the QR code 1600 as the advertisement information. When the advertisement information 2001 receives the input from the user, the UI 2020 as shown in FIG. 20B may be displayed as an example without limitation.
