[Store information output processing]
The store information output process executed by the store information output device 1 will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the store information output process. The flowchart shown in FIG. 4 is started when, for example, a request information for starting the store information output process is transmitted from the user terminal 2 to the store information output device 1.

In step S10 of FIG. 4, the store information output device 1 acquires preference information from the user terminal 2 by the brand selection unit 10. After that, the store information output process by the store information output device 1 shifts to step S12.

In step S12, the store information output device 1 selects a target brand from a plurality of brands of wine based on preference information by the brand selection unit 10. The brand selection unit 10 does not necessarily have to select one brand of wine as the target brand, and may select a plurality of brands of wine as the target brand. The subroutine of the process related to the selection of the target brand executed in step S12 will be described in detail later. After that, the store information output process by the store information output device 1 shifts to step S14.

In step S14, the store information output device 1 acquires area information for designating the target area C from the user terminal 2 by the area information acquisition unit 11.

You may get it. After that, the store information output process by the store information output device 1 shifts to step S16.

In step S16, the store information output device 1 sets the target area C based on the area information acquired from the user terminal 2 by the area information acquisition unit 11. For example, when the area information acquisition unit 11 acquires information indicating a specific point on the map as area information, when the map centered on the point is displayed on the display of the user terminal 2, the area information acquisition unit 11 is displayed on the map. In, the target area C may be set within a circle centered on the relevant point and having the distance between the relevant point and the four corner points of the map displayed on the display as the radius (see FIG. 2). After that, the store information output process by the store information output device 1 shifts to step S18.

In step S18, the store information output device 1 acquires the location of each of the plurality of stores and the store information including the brand of wine provided in each of the plurality of stores by the store information acquisition unit 12. For example, the store information acquisition unit 12 may access the database of the store information output device 1 and acquire the store information stored in the database. Alternatively, the store information acquisition unit 12 may access a database of a computer (server) separate from the store information output device 1 to acquire store information stored in the database. After that, the store information output process by the store information output device 1 shifts to step S20.

In step S20, the store information output device 1 determines whether or not a store that provides wine of the target brand exists in the target area C by the store extraction unit 13. Specifically, the store extraction unit 13 has a target brand selected by the store information acquisition unit 12, a target area C set based on the area information acquired by the area information acquisition unit 11, and a store information acquisition unit. Based on the store information acquired in 12, the stores that provide the target brand of wine in the target area C are extracted. When at least one store is extracted, the store extraction unit 13 determines that a store providing the wine of the target brand exists in the target area C. When the store information output device 1 determines that a store providing wine of the target brand exists in the target area C (step S20: YES), the store information output device 1 proceeds to step S22. On the other hand, if the store is not extracted, the store extraction unit 13 determines that the store that provides the wine of the target brand does not exist in the target area C. When the store information output device 1 determines that the store providing the wine of the target brand does not exist in the target area C (step S20: NO), the store information output device 1 proceeds to step S24.

In step S22, the store information output device 1 outputs the extracted store information extracted by the store extraction unit 13 and the target brand information selected by the brand selection unit 10 to the user terminal 2 by the information output unit 14. .. On the other hand, the user terminal 2 receives the extracted store information and the target brand information transmitted from the store information output device 1 by the input unit 20. Then, the user terminal 2 causes the output unit 21 to output the extracted store information and the target brand information received by the input unit 20 to the output device (see FIG. 3). As a result, the store information output process executed by the store information output device 1 is completed.

At this time, the user terminal 2 may output the extracted store information by drawing a marker at each store position on the map (see FIG. 2). In this case, when the marker on the map displayed on the user terminal 2 is touched, the detailed information of each store as shown in FIG. 3 (for example, the store name, location, business hours, and wine handled by each store). The list, etc.) may be displayed on the user terminal 2. Further, when the display of each wine is touched on the screen on which the detailed information is displayed, the detailed information of each wine may be displayed on the user terminal 2.

In step S24, the store information output device 1 provides information (hereinafter, referred to as store nonexistence information) to the effect that the store providing the wine of the target brand does not exist in the target area C by the information output unit 14. Output to. On the other hand, the user terminal 2 receives the store non-existence information transmitted from the store information output device 1 by the input unit 20. Then, the user terminal 2 causes the output unit 21 to output the store nonexistence information received by the input unit 20 to the output device. As a result, the store information output process executed by the store information output device 1 is completed.

[Subroutine of processing related to selection of target brand]

The processing subroutine related to the selection of the target brand corresponds to step S12 of the store information output processing described above. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of processing related to selection of a target brand in store information output processing. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a user terminal 2 in which a brand designation screen is displayed on a display. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a user terminal 2 in which a screen for designating a region of origin and a variety is displayed on a display. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a user terminal 2 in which a country of origin designation screen is displayed on the display. The flowchart shown in FIG. 5 is started when the store information output process executed by the store information output device 1 shifts to step S12 of the flowchart shown in FIG. In the following description, a case where the user terminal 2 has an application corresponding to the store information output device 1 installed and the user inputs preference information on the application displayed on the display of the user terminal 2 is exemplified. ..

In step S30 of FIG. 5, the store information output device 1 determines whether or not the wine brand is explicitly included in the preference information acquired from the user terminal 2 by the brand selection unit 10. When the wine brand is explicitly included in the preference information, the user touches the button B1 displayed as "Search from wine" on the application screen shown in FIG. 2, and the application shown in FIG. For example, wine is specified from the brand on the screen. A plurality of brands of wine are displayed on the application screen shown in FIG. 6, and the user can specify the wine brand by touching the display of the desired wine (display P1). When the store information output device 1 determines that the wine brand is explicitly included in the preference information (step S30: YES), the store information output device 1 proceeds to step S44. On the other hand, when the store information output device 1 determines that the wine brand is not explicitly included in the preference information (step S30: NO), the store information output device 1 proceeds to step S32.

In step S32, the store information output device 1 acquires information on the type of wine and the raw material (here, the variety) included in the preference information acquired from the user terminal 2 by the brand selection unit 10. The type of wine included in the preference information is that the user touches the button B2 displayed as "RED", "WHITE", "SPARKLING", "ROSE", "SWEET", etc. on the application screen shown in FIG. It is the type specified by. Further, the wine varieties included in the preference information are the wine varieties on the application screen shown in FIG. 7 when the user touches the button B3 displayed as "varieties" on the application screen shown in FIG. The specified case is mentioned. A plurality of wine varieties are displayed on the application screen shown in FIG. 7, and the user can specify the wine varieties by touching the display of the desired varieties (display P3). After that, the store information output process by the store information output device 1 shifts to step S34.

In step S34, the store information output device 1 determines whether or not the preference information acquired from the user terminal 2 includes information indicating the region of origin of the wine by the brand selection unit 10. When the preference information includes information indicating the region of origin of wine, the user touches the button B4 displayed as "region" on the application screen shown in FIG. 2, and the application screen shown in FIG. 7 is displayed. The case where the region of origin of the wine is specified above is mentioned. A plurality of regions of origin of wine are displayed on the application screen shown in FIG. 7, and the user can specify the region of origin of wine by touching the display of the desired region of origin (display P4). When the store information output device 1 determines that the preference information includes information indicating the region of origin of the wine (step S34: YES), the store information output device 1 proceeds to step S36. On the other hand, when the store information output device 1 determines that the preference information does not include information indicating the region of origin of the wine (step S34: NO), the store information output device 1 proceeds to step S38.

In step S36, the store information output device 1 narrows down the wine brand according to the type, variety, and region of origin of the wine included in the preference information acquired from the user terminal 2 by the brand selection unit 10. When the taste information does not include the type or variety of wine, the brand selection unit 10 narrows down the brand of wine from the information excluding the type or variety not included in the preference information. After that, the store information output process by the store information output device 1 shifts to step S44.

In step S38, the store information output device 1 determines whether or not the preference information acquired from the user terminal 2 includes information indicating the country of origin of the wine by the brand selection unit 10. When the preference information includes information indicating the country of origin of wine, the user touches the button B5 displayed as "country" on the application screen shown in FIG. 2, and the application screen shown in FIG. The case where the country of origin of wine is specified above is mentioned. A plurality of countries of origin of wine are displayed on the application screen shown in FIG. 8, and the user can specify the country of origin of wine by touching the display of the desired country of origin (display P5). When the store information output device 1 determines that the preference information includes information indicating the country of origin of the wine (step S38: YES), the store information output device 1 proceeds to step S40. On the other hand, when the store information output device 1 determines that the preference information does not include information indicating the country of origin of the wine (step S38: NO), the store information output device 1 proceeds to step S42.

In step S40, the store information output device 1 narrows down the wine brand according to the type, variety, and country of origin of the wine included in the preference information acquired from the user terminal 2 by the brand selection unit 10. When the taste information does not include the type or variety of wine, the brand selection unit 10 narrows down the brand of wine from the information excluding the type or variety not included in the preference information. After that, the store information output process by the store information output device 1 shifts to step S44.

In step S42, the store information output device 1 narrows down the wine brand according to the type and variety of wine included in the preference information acquired from the user terminal 2 by the brand selection unit 10. When the taste information does not include the type or variety of wine, the brand selection unit 10 narrows down the brand of wine from the information excluding the type or variety not included in the preference information. After that, the store information output process by the store information output device 1 shifts to step S44.

In step S44, the store information output device 1 selects a target brand from a plurality of brands of wine based on preference information by the brand selection unit 10. Specifically, when the wine brand is explicitly included in the preference information, the brand selection unit 10 selects the brand as the target brand. On the other hand, when the wine brand is not explicitly included in the preference information, the brand selection unit 10 selects a brand narrowed down from a plurality of wine brands as a target brand. As a result, among the store information output processes executed by the store information output device 1, the subroutine of the process related to the selection of the target brand is completed.
