If the floor map 471 does not fit in the display size of the display 45 of the mobile terminal 4, the floor map 471 may be scrolled and displayed by swiping in the direction of the arrow A or the like in FIG.

On the floor map 471, the parking lot mark 472 and the entrance / exit mark 473 are displayed so as to be selectable, and the mark 472 or the mark 473 can be selected as the start point or the end point of the guide route.

-Event position display In addition, if the event held on the day is registered in the advertisement management file 175, the display control unit 412 (that is, if there is an event in which the advertisement is posted and the event date and time is the same). The location of the event and the outline of the event are displayed on the floor map 471. That is, the information management unit 414 reads the event period, event venue code, event code, advertisement comment, name, event information, advertisement image, etc. from the advertisement management file 175. Further, the information management unit 414 reads the location information corresponding to the event venue code from the map management file 177. The display control unit 412 displays a symbol mark indicating that an event is held at a position on the floor map 471 corresponding to the position information read from the map management file 177, and pops up various information read by the information management unit 414. Display by display etc.

In the example of FIG. 14, for the music live held in the event space in the SC, an example in which the event mark 476a is displayed at the position in the floor map 471 of the event venue, which is the holding position, is shown. Further, FIG. 14 shows an example in which the event mark 476b is displayed at the position in the floor map 471 of the event venue, which is the holding position, for the XX event held in another event space in the SC. Further, an example is shown in which the information read by the information management unit 414 as described above is displayed in balloons 477a and 477b as information about each event on each event mark 476a and 476b.

Each event mark 476a, 476b, or balloon 477a, 477b is configured to be selectable, and when the input reception unit 413 receives the selection operation, the display control unit 412 asks "Do you want to add to the list? Yes / No". Show a pop-up. When "Yes" is selected, the input reception unit 413 accepts the event as a list target, and the information management unit 414 includes the information read as described above for the event in the list data of the member list. Just do it.

By notifying the holding of the event on the floor map 471 in this way and making it possible to list the events with a simple operation by the user, it is possible to improve the convenience of the shopping support application 470 of the present embodiment.

-Position display of listed advertisement publications The display control unit 412 is based on the list data of the member master 173, the advertisement management file 175, and the map management file 177, and the advertisement publications included in the user's list data. The position on the floor map 471 is determined, and the position of the advertisement publication in the SC is shown on the floor map 471. The position of the advertisement is the position in the SC of the tenant who sells the listed goods or services, the position of the goods in the tenant, the position of the event venue, and the like.

(Display example 1) Display example when the position of the advertisement is managed up to the shelf position in the tenant. Products sold in the supermarket or grocery corner in the SC, clothing sales tenants, clothing corners, etc. As described above, when the product master file 172 manages the display position (for example, the shelf position) of the product, the display position can be specified and displayed.

That is, the information management unit 414 reads the tenant code of the advertisement publication from the list data, and reads the location information corresponding to the read tenant code from the map management file 177 (see FIG. 8). In addition, the information management unit 414 reads the product code of the advertisement publication from the list data, and reads the position information corresponding to the read product code from the product master file 172 (see FIG. 3).

The display control unit 412 is based on the position information read from the map management file 177, the position information read from the product master file 172, and the position information of each tenant set in the map management file 177. Then, the product display position in the display area of the tenant of the floor map 471 (see FIG. 14) is determined, and the position of the advertisement-mounted product is displayed by using a symbol mark or the like.

For example, with respect to the products in the grocery corner registered as the list 461a in FIG. 13, the display position thereof is indicated by the mark 480a in the display area 474 of the grocery corner in the floor map 471 of FIG. Similarly, the display position of the product registered as the list 461b in FIG. 13 is indicated by the mark 480b, which is a star-shaped symbol mark. The position of the accounting corner of the grocery corner is displayed by a selectable mark 475, and the user can register the accounting corner as a start point, an end point, or a waypoint by selecting the mark 475. The information management unit 414 generates a guide route including the display positions of all the listed products and their start point, end point, and waypoint if registered.

(Display example 2) Display example when the position of the advertisement is managed by the location of the tenant or the event venue The product master, such as various events held at the event venue in the SC and the products sold by the tenant. There is also an advertisement publication that does not perform position management in file 172 but performs position management only in the map management file 177. In this case, the information management unit 414 reads the tenant code of the advertisement publication from the list data, and reads the location information corresponding to the read tenant code from the map management file 177 (see FIG. 8).

The display control unit 412 determines the display position of the tenant on the floor map 471 based on the position information read from the map management file 177 and the position information of the tenant set in the map management file 177, and places an advertisement. The position of the tenant who sells the item is displayed using a symbol mark or the like.

For example, the position of the music live of the event venue "○○ space" registered as the list 461c in FIG. 13 is displayed by the mark 480c in the floor map 471 of FIG. For the events registered in the list 461, a symbol mark may be displayed like the mark 480c, or the original display form of the event mark 476a may be changed to blink, change the color, or have a border. May be changed.

The case of display example 2 can be applied to other than the event, and can be applied, for example, when an advertisement publication related to a product or service sold by a tenant is listed. In this case, the display control unit 412 may determine the display position of the tenant who is the seller of the advertisement publication on the floor map 471 and display the mark 480d at the position as shown by the mark 480d in FIG.

-Generation of guidance route Further, in the tab of the floor map tab 452c, an icon for receiving an instruction to generate a guidance route is provided. FIG. 14 shows an example in which an icon 491 for starting the generation of a time-saving route and an icon 492 for starting the generation of a recommended route are provided.

The time-saving route is a guide route that efficiently goes around the position registered as the list 461. On the other hand, the recommended route is a route in which the store side automatically adds the position of the sale and the position of the sale item based on the recommended information from the SC side or the tenant side, and turns around in accordance with the position.

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a display example of the guide route. FIG. 15 is an example of displaying the time-saving route generated by the information management unit 414 when the time-saving route icon 491 of FIG. 14 is selected. For example, in FIG. 14, a case where the user selects the time-saving route icon 491 and the user selects and specifies the parking lot mark 472 (or the entrance / exit mark 473) as the start point and the end point of the route will be described.

The information management unit 414 generates a route that efficiently goes around the positions of the listed advertisement publications, that is, the positions displayed by the star-shaped marks 480a to 480d in FIG. For example, the information management unit 414 attaches to the mark 472 designated as the starting point, the mark 480c attached to the music live event, the mark 480d attached to the position of the tenant, and the display position of the product in the food department. A guide route 495 is generated via the mark 480a and the mark 480b in order, and then via the mark 475 attached to the accounting corner of the food department. The display control unit 412 displays the guide route 495 generated by the information management unit 414 using a line in the floor map 471 as shown in FIG.

In addition, here, with an emphasis on visibility, an example is given of the case where the guidance route is terminated when the outbound route, that is, the position of the accounting corner set as the end point is connected to the listed point, but the return route is also illustrated. A guide route may be generated and displayed. In particular, when the icon 492 of the recommended route is selected, a route for the return route may be generated to encourage the customer to move around in the store.

Further, the display control unit 412 displays the current position of the mobile terminal 4 detected by the position detection unit 411 on the floor map 471. In the example of FIG. 15, the current position of the mobile terminal 4 is displayed by blinking the arrow mark 496. By indicating the current position and the moving direction in this way, the user can confirm the position on the guide path 495.

In addition to displaying the guidance route 495, the display control unit 412 displays the SNS posting icon 497. When the input reception unit 413 accepts the selection operation of the SNS posting icon 497, the guidance route 495 is tagged with information indicating the SC store and posted to the SNS. At the time of SNS posting, the user's comment input may be accepted and the SNS posting may be performed together with the comment. As a result, the user can share the recommended usage method of SC with other users. Further, the SC clerk may log in as one user, post the recommended route of the SC store on SNS, and send information about the SC store. As a result, the store side can more easily send out sales promotion and usage promotion of SC stores.
