FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing a partial configuration example of the integrated cloud server 5 of the second embodiment. The integrated cloud server 5 includes a storage unit 511 (memory 504, storage device 505), an acquisition unit 512, and a transmission unit 513 as functional modules generated as a result of the program stored in the storage unit 511 being executed by the CPU 503. And a generation unit 514.

The storage unit 511 stores a program or DB (DataBase) executed by the CPU 503.

The acquisition unit 512 acquires various information from the external device. The transmission unit 513 transmits various information to the external device. The generation unit 514 executes an information generation operation for the DB. In addition, the generation unit 514 generates information obtained by editing the information acquired from the external device.

Next, the flow of processing of each configuration in the information linkage system S of the second embodiment will be described. In the first embodiment, the cloud server 3 acquires the advertisement information based on the information related to the advertisement from the advertisement measurement server 6 and generates the information of the access destination of the new display target based on the access destination of the image and the advertisement information. I mentioned the case of doing so. In the second embodiment, the integrated cloud server 5 generates information on a new display target access destination based on the image access destination and the advertisement information. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the overall processing in the information linkage system S of the second embodiment.

The flowchart shown in FIG. 12 also starts with a scene in which the user operates a remote controller or the like of the television device 2 to specify an EC site or a moving image that the user wants to cooperate with the smartphone 1 on a so-called portal screen. The authentication code and token generated by the cloud server 3 include information that identifies the manufacturer. That is, the cloud server 3 shall include the information for identifying its own device in the authentication code and the token.

Further, since step S21 in FIG. 12 is the same as step S1 in FIG. 7, the description thereof will be omitted. In step S22, the URL authentication code is sent from the cloud server 3 to the television device 2. The URL authentication code 2010 is information including URL information for specifying the carrier server 4 and an authentication code for performing authentication between the carrier server 4 and the cloud server 3. The authentication code may include a part for determining the manufacturer of the television device 2 and a part for determining the television device 2. Further, the portion for discriminating the television device 2 included in the authentication code is a random value. Further, the cloud server 3 may associate the time when this value is transmitted to the television device 2 as the DB information of the storage unit 311.

An example of the information of the URL authentication code 2010 is as follows.
https: // XXXXXXXX YYYYYYYYYY
The URL of the carrier server 4 is contained in the X part, and the authorization code of OAuth 2 is contained in the Y part. The authorization code contains information that can identify the manufacturer and the TV. Either one of the information that can identify the manufacturer and the television device 2 may be used. The URL authentication code 2010 may be sent in any format as long as the above information is included.

When the acquisition unit 243 of the television device 2 acquires the URL authentication code 2010 from the cloud server 3, the display control unit 244 optically displays and outputs the contents of the URL authentication code 2010 as an image or a video on the video display unit 233. do. The display form on the display control unit 244 may be a QR code, a barcode, a text, or the like, and the information included in the URL authentication code 2010 may be optically displayed and output as an image or a video. Further, in the first embodiment, although it is described by the QR code, it is not limited to the QR code as in the present embodiment.

Further, as in step S3 of FIG. 7, in step S23, the user terminal 1050 performs URL authentication optically displayed on the image display unit 233 by the URL authentication code reading function from the image information optically captured by the image pickup means. Read the information in code 2011. As a result, the user terminal 1050 acquires the URL and the authentication code of the EC site. The authentication code portion is a time-limited authentication code and is configured as follows.
"Code": <authorization code>,
“State”: <string> // Random number

In step S24, when the user terminal 1050 acquires the URL and the authentication code of the EC site, the user terminal 1050 accesses the carrier server 4 and transmits the authentication code 2020 based on the URL.

The authentication code 2020 is an authentication code portion (<authorization code>) of the URL authentication code 2010 and the URL authentication code 2011. The authentication code 2021 is as follows.
"Code": <authorization code>,
"State": <string> // Random number The authentication code 2020 may include the URL information of the carrier server 4 in addition to the above.

In step S25, when the carrier server 4 receives the authentication code 2020, it transmits the authentication code 2021 to the integrated cloud server 5 and makes an authentication request. The carrier server 4 sends authentication request information to, for example, the Token Endpoint of OAuth 2 of the integrated cloud server 5. The information of the authentication code 2021 has the following configuration.
Authorization: "Basic" + Base64 (<clinent_id> + ":" + <clinent_secret>)
Content-type: application / x-www-form-urlencoded
-Grant_type: "autiation_code"
-Code: <authorization code> (authentication code)
-Redirect_uri: The entrance when returning to the EC site of the carrier server 4, the one pre-registered in the integrated cloud server 5.
-Client_id: An identifier assigned to each EC site of the carrier server 4. Pre-registered with the integrated cloud server 5.
The client_secret is assigned by the integrated cloud server 5 based on the client_id for each site of the carrier server 4. The site of the integrated cloud server 5 looks at the maker extension of the code and redirects.

In step S26, the transmission unit 313 of the integrated cloud server 5 refers to the acquired authentication code 2021, refers to the information for identifying the manufacturer included in the authentication code 2021, and identifies the destination cloud server 3. Specifically, the transmission unit 313 of the integrated cloud server 5 confirms the authorization code, that is, the authentication code, and determines which cloud server 3 it is.

Then, in step S27, the transmission unit 313 of the integrated cloud server 5 makes an authentication request by transmitting the authentication request 2022 to the destination cloud server 3.
In this way, the transmission unit 513 of the integrated cloud server 5 transmits the authentication request 2022 to the destination cloud server 3 specified based on the Authentication_code (authentication code) of the authentication code 2021. The information of the authentication request 2022 transmitted by the transmission unit 313 of the integrated cloud server 5 is the same as the information of the authentication code 2021 acquired from the carrier server 4. Examples of other authentication request 2022 information include:
GET https: // reach-maker. sample. com / common / devices / id
Authorization: "Bearer" + <access_token>
The acquisition unit 312 of the cloud server 3 acquires the authentication code described in the URL authentication code 2010 together with the information for identifying the carrier server 4.

The generation unit 314 of the cloud server 3 refers to the DB of the storage unit 311 and determines whether or not there is information for identifying the carrier server 4 acquired by the acquisition unit 312 and information corresponding to the authentication code for authentication. do. The generation unit 314 refers to the DB of the storage unit 311 and generates the token 2030 when there is information for identifying the carrier server 4 acquired by the acquisition unit 312 and information corresponding to the authentication code. Further, the generation unit 314 further associates the token 2030 with the information having the authentication code and the information for identifying the carrier server 4 acquired by the acquisition unit 312 in the DB.

In step S28, the transmission unit 313 of the cloud server 3 transmits the token 2030 generated by the generation unit 314 to the integrated cloud server 5.

Specifically, the transmission unit 313 of the cloud server 3 sends the Token Response of OAuth 2 to the integrated cloud server 5 as token 2030. The OAuth2 Access Token Response of this response is configured as follows.
{"Access_token": <access token>,
“Token_type”: “Bearer”,
“Expires_in”: 3600,
“Refresh_token”: <refresh token>}
When the cloud server 3 accesses the integrated cloud server 5, access_token is added. expires_in is the validity period (seconds) of access_token, and it is stored together with the time when it becomes invalid when the access_token is received, and until then, this access_token is used repeatedly. The refresh_token is kept secretly by the carrier server 4. This is because it is not good to simply put it in the local storage for security reasons. When access_token and refresh_token are issued by each manufacturer, the television manufacturer can be identified by adding an identifier that identifies the television manufacturer at the beginning.

The acquisition unit 512 of the integrated cloud server 5 acquires the token 2030. Then, in step S29, the integrated cloud server 5 transmits the token 2030 as the token 2031 to the carrier server 4, and the carrier server 4 acquires the token 2031. The transmission unit 313 of the cloud server 3 may directly transmit the token to the carrier server 4.

The carrier server 4 holds information in which the token 2031 is associated with the user ID of the user terminal 1050 from which the authentication code is transmitted.

Then, in step S30, the carrier server 4 transmits the token + user ID 2040 to the integrated cloud server 5 with the token 2031 and the user ID as a response. As a result, the carrier server 4 can transmit the user ID of the user of the user terminal 1050 to the integrated cloud server 5.

The configuration of the token + user ID 2040 information transmitted by the carrier server 4 is as follows.
POST https: // tv-common. sample. com / common / users / id
Authorization: "Basic" + Base64 (<clinent_id> + ":" + <clinent_secret>)
Content-type: application / x-www-form-urlencoded
{Grant_type: "access_token",
access_token: <access token> (information issued as access token in step S28),.
client_id: An identifier assigned to each site of the carrier server 4. Pre-registered on the manufacturer's common site,
user_id: User ID at the site of carrier server 4,
Presence: <Current user attributes (current user attributes: user's date of birth, gender, zip code, purchase history, etc.)>}

The acquisition unit 512 of the integrated cloud server 5 acquires the token + user ID 2040 from the carrier server 4. In step S31, the transmission unit 513 of the integrated cloud server 5 identifies the destination cloud server 3 from the token + user ID 2040, and transmits the device ID request 2041 (TVID) to the destination cloud server 3. The transmission unit 513 of the integrated cloud server 5 may transmit the token when transmitting the device ID request 2041.

The device ID request 2041 is a request for the integrated cloud server 5 to inquire each manufacturer (cloud server 3) of the TV device_id (TVID) at the access_token of OAuth 2, and is, for example, the following.
GET https: // reach-maker. sample. com / common / devices / id
-Authorization: "Bearer" + <access_token>
-X-API-key: <Manufacturer common site and random secret set by each manufacturer>
-Conent-type: application / json
-Client_id: Identifier assigned to each manufacturer's common site

The cloud server 3 refers to the DB of the storage unit 311 and acquires the TV ID corresponding to the acquired token. Further, the cloud server 3 may also acquire information on the device corresponding to the acquired TVID (attribute information of the television device 2 of the TVID). In step S32, the transmission unit 313 of the cloud server 3 transmits information such as TVID to the integrated cloud server 5 as a device ID response 2050. Examples of the device ID response 2050 are as follows.
-"Dvice_id": <id> (TVID assigned to the television device 2 by the cloud server 3)
-"Model": <model name> (model of television device 2, that is, display screen inch, pixel count information such as 2K, 4K, 8K, etc.)

In step S33, the generation unit 514 of the integrated cloud server 5 stores the information binding information in which the acquired TVID (device ID), the user ID, and the model information (model) of the television device 2 are associated with each other as DB information. Register with 511.

Further, the generation unit 514 of the integrated cloud server 5 generates the path key 2051. Further, in step S34, the transmission unit 513 transmits the path key to the carrier server 4. The pass key contains the following information:
-"Pass_key": <pass_key>, (this pass_key is used as an ID when the operation command 2090 to the operation command 2093 in step S44 or later is operated).
-"Expires_in": 86400, (expires_in will be returned with a grace period of 10 days even if the presence cannot be prepared at the first access).
-"Model": <model name> (information on the model of the device ID response, that is, the model of the television device 2, that is, the display screen inch, the pixel count information such as 2K, 4K, 8K, etc.)

Further, in step S35, the generation unit 514 of the integrated cloud server 5 stores the generated path key in the storage unit 511.

When the carrier server 4 acquires the path key from the integrated cloud server 5, the carrier server 4 stores the information contained in the path key. Specifically, the following information is stored for each user ID of the EC site.
・ Access_token
・ Refresh_token
・ Pass_key
・ Model // Linked TV model information

In step S36, the user terminal 1050 logs in to the service provided by the carrier server 4 by starting the application. As a result, the smartphone 1 displays the EC site screen. A button for connecting to the television device 2 is also output on the EC site screen output by the application. In step S37, the carrier server 4 transmits the device information 2070 to the user terminal 1050 in response to the login in step S36. The device information 2070 referred to here is any one, two, or a combination of the device ID, the user ID, and the model name included in the path key 2051.

The user of the smartphone 1 selects a button for connecting to the television device 2 for the link destination on the EC site screen. In step S38, the user terminal 1050 transmits a television display request (TV display request 2071) by transmitting the linked URL to the carrier server 4 according to the selection.

When the carrier server 4 receives the TV display request 2071 from the user terminal 1050, in step S39, the carrier server 4 transmits the display request 2072 including the token, the pass key, and the URL of the link destination to the integrated cloud server 5. , Make a display request to the television device 2. The structure of the information of the display request 2072 is as follows.
POST https: // tv-common. sample. com / common / devices / controls
Authorization: "Bearer" + <access_token>
x-API-key: <pass_key>
Content-type: application / jison
{"Command_type": "keycode"
"Key code": "<comon key code>"}
{"Command_type": "webview",
"Site": "<Website URL>",
“Template”: “full”}

Further, in the display request 2072, the carrier server 4 further transmits the Content ID indicating the category of the image to be displayed and the advertisement category information indicating the advertisement category to the cloud server 3.

The acquisition unit 512 of the integrated cloud server 5 receives the information of the display request 2072 including the token, the pass key, the URL of the link destination, the Content ID, and the advertisement category information from the carrier server 4. In this way, the acquisition unit 512 of the integrated cloud server 5 acquires the tongue, the URL of the link destination, and the information related to the advertisement (Content ID and advertisement category information). Then, the acquisition unit 512 retrieves the pass_key from the header of the x-API-key.

In step S40, the acquisition unit 512 of the integrated cloud server 5 transmits the Content ID or the advertisement category information to the advertisement measurement server 6 and makes an advertisement request. The advertisement measurement server 6 acquires the Content ID or the advertisement category information and accepts the advertisement request. In step S41, the advertisement measurement server 6 generates advertisement information based on the acquired Content ID or advertisement category information, and transmits the advertisement information to the cloud server 3. The acquisition unit 512 of the integrated cloud server 5 acquires the advertisement information. In this way, the acquisition unit 512 of the integrated cloud server 5 acquires the advertisement information based on the Content ID or the advertisement category information.

In step S42, the generation unit 514 of the integrated cloud server 5 determines the above image and the advertisement based on the URL of the access destination of the image to be displayed transmitted by the carrier server 4 and the advertisement information acquired from the advertisement measurement server 6. Generate a new URL that will be the access destination (access destination to be displayed). In this way, the generation unit 514 of the integrated cloud server 5 inserts not only the image to be displayed but also the advertisement information transmitted by the carrier server 4.

In step S43, the acquisition unit 512 determines the access destination and the access source by using the information stored in the path key (pass_key) and the storage unit 511. In step S43, the transmission unit 513 transmits information including a token and a new URL to the cloud server 3 based on the determination result, and makes a display request. In this way, the transmission unit 513 transmits the token and the access destination to be displayed to the cloud server 3 of the transmission destination. The integrated cloud server 5 measures the number of accesses for each access source and manufacturer.

The display request 2073 transmitted by the transmission unit 513 to the cloud server 3 includes a token, a client ID, a URL, and a message. Examples of such information are as follows.
POST https: // each-maker. sample. com / common / devices / controls
Authorization: "Bearer" + <access_token>
x-API-key: <Manufacturer common site and random secret set by each manufacturer>
Content-type: application / json
{"Command_type": "keycode",
"Key code": <comon key code>,
"Client_id": <clinent_id>,
"Messageid: <message ID>}
{"Command_type": "webview",
"Site": <Website URL> (Website URL for TV),
“Template”: “full”,
"Client_id": <clinent_id>,
"Messageid": <message ID>}

The acquisition unit 312 of the cloud server 3 receives the display request 2073 from the integrated cloud server 5. The acquisition unit 312 takes out the access_token from the authorization header of the display request 2073 and determines the television device 2. In this way, the acquisition unit 312 of the cloud server 3 acquires the token and the access destination of the image and the advertisement. In step S45, the transmission unit 313 of the cloud server 3 outputs a display request 2074 to the television device 2 based on the determined result. In this way, the transmission unit 313 of the cloud server 3 transmits the access destination to be displayed to the television device 2 corresponding to the token. The display request may be replaced with a display request command unique to the manufacturer. Further, if necessary, the cloud server 3 may aggregate the access for each client_id and make a request to the television.

In step S46, the television device 2 activates a browser in response to a display request, executes javascript (registered trademark) with an event such as onLoad or onClick, and displays and outputs an image and an advertisement at a URL to be displayed. Further, the television device 2 notifies the advertisement measurement server 6 of the display operation result notification 2080 that identifies the servicer, the user, the TV maker, and the displayed advertisement. The advertisement measurement server 6 aggregates the results of displaying advertisements on the plurality of television devices 2 by the cloud server 3. Based on the aggregated result, the manufacturer, the owner of the integrated cloud server 5, or the owner of the advertisement measurement server 6 requests the advertisement cost from the e-commerce platform that owns the carrier server 4.

The application of the user terminal 1050 can operate the screen of the television device 2 based on the operation command 2090 in step S47. An operation command 2090 is sent to the carrier server 4 in response to an operation from the user terminal 1050.

In step S48, the carrier server 4 transmits an operation command 2091 including a common key code to the integrated cloud server 5 based on the operation command 2090 transmitted in step S47. The common key code is a command configured to correspond to the operation button of the TV operation remote controller. There are numbers, cross cursors, volume / channel / power, color keys, function keys, media controls, and manufacturer-specific commands. This maker-specific command is a command for each maker to operate independently. That is, the maker-specific command is a maker-specific operation command set by each maker. The common key code is a key code for performing common operations between manufacturers except for commands unique to the manufacturer.

Numeric commands are "11", "12", "0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", and ".".

The crosshair cursor commands are "up", "down", "left", "right", "page up", "page down", "page left", "page right", "enter", "exit", and "back".

The volume / channel / power commands are "power", "power off", "power on", "volume up", "volume down", "channel up", and "channel down".

The color keys are "blue", "red", "green", and "yellow".

The function key commands are "electronic program guide", "initial configuration", "select broadcast type", "inject select", "display information", "mute", "contents menu", and "closed caption".

The media control commands are "Play", "stop", "pause", "rewind", "forward", "backward", "skip forward", "skip backward", and "record".

When the integrated cloud server 5 receives the operation command 2091 in step S48, the integrated cloud server 5 sends the operation command 2092 to the cloud server 3 in step S49. The operation command 2092 is the same command as the operation command 2091.
In step S50, the integrated cloud server 5 transmits the response message ID 2094 as a response message to the carrier server 4. The message ID has the following configuration.
{Messageid: <message ID>}

When the cloud server 3 receives the operation command 2092 from the integrated cloud server 5, the cloud server 3 transmits the operation command 2093 to the television device 2 in step S51. The operation command 2093 has the same or equivalent information as the operation command 2092, and is a maker-specific command for operating the display screen of the television device 2. The cloud server 3 replaces the operation command 2092 with the operation command 2093, which is a key code of each company for operating the television device 2. When the standardization of the operation command of the television device 2 is advanced, the operation command 2092 can be used as it is as the operation command 2093 without being converted.

The television device 2 operates the image displayed on the image display unit 233 of the television device 2 based on the operation command 2093. Further, in step S52, the television device 2 notifies the advertisement measurement server 6 of the operation result notification 2081 that identifies the operation command.

The flowchart shown in FIG. 12 is a description of a process of integrating a plurality of manufacturers to access the carrier server 4 of the platformer. However, as in the cloud server 3 of the first embodiment, the carrier server 4 is independently made by the manufacturer. You can also access to. In this case, the cloud server 3 is a combination of the operations of the integrated cloud server 5. At this time, the exchange of information between the cloud server 3 and the integrated cloud server 5 is omitted.

The integrated cloud server 5 acquires an authentication code from the carrier server 4, transmits the authentication code to the destination cloud server 3 specified based on the authentication code, and the carrier server 4 sends the token and the image to be displayed. Get access destinations and information about ads. The integrated cloud server 5 acquires advertisement information based on the information related to the advertisement from the advertisement measurement server 6, generates information on a new display target access destination based on the image access destination and the advertisement information, and televisions. By notifying the device 2 of the information of the access destination to be newly displayed, it is possible to display not only the image according to the request of the smartphone 1 but also the advertisement on the television device 2.

Further, the cloud server 3 according to the second embodiment generates correspondence information in which the television device 2 corresponding to the authentication code and the token based on the authentication code are associated with each other, and the token and the smartphone are generated from the integrated cloud server 5. Acquire the access destination of the image to be displayed and the advertisement based on the request from 1.
