The electronic leaflet management device 10 performs various information processing related to electronic leaflets. The functions of the electronic handbill management device 10 can be broadly divided into the following three functions. By using at least one of these three functions, a new mechanism for distributing electronic flyers is provided.

(1) Tag Attachment Function The electronic leaflet management device 10 has a function of attaching tag information to electronic leaflets. There are various kinds of electronic leaflets, but tag information is attached to electronic leaflets that are posted on products that are sold at a special price for a certain period of time, such as "goods A are on sale in ○ month". Tag information is, for example, a hashtag. A hashtag includes a specific character (for example, "#") and a character string indicating that it is a hashtag. Hashtags can be attached to messages, images, and the like, and users can collect information using these hashtags. In this embodiment, a character string indicating a theme is added as a hash tag to an electronic leaflet for products, services, etc. included in the electronic leaflet, thereby making it easier to collect electronic leaflets based on the theme. be able to. When selling products, leaflets are mainly used to explain what the price of the product is. However, in this embodiment, by attaching a hashtag indicating the theme, it is possible to appeal to the user (consumer) what kind of theme the product lineup is based on, apart from the price point. It is possible to In recent years, the number of users using SNS is on the rise, and in particular, the use of SNS is expanding among people in their teens and twenties. You can browse it and feel close to it. This makes it possible to improve the appeal of the product based on the theme, in addition to the method of focusing on price appeal. In addition, it is possible to grasp the direction of the product by expressing the theme as a hashtag.
In recent years, there have been an increasing number of cases in which low prices are continuously set for a certain period of time, such as monthly bargains, so that users' visits to stores do not concentrate over time. In that case, even if you try to appeal the price, it may be difficult to make a difference with other products, etc., so it tends to be difficult to appeal from the aspect of price. In addition, although the price may be the motivation for the user to purchase the product, there are also cases where the user purchases the product from a viewpoint other than the price. For example, there are users who browse or listen to information that has become a hot topic on SNS or the like, and make use of their own experiences to purchase products. It can be said that such a user's motivation to purchase a product is to perform a certain action. For such users, by providing electronic flyers with hashtags attached to themes related to actions, we provide a mechanism that allows users to easily search for electronic flyers that match the products they want. can.

(2) Function to provide moving images Generally, character strings and still images are used for electronic leaflets, but with the electronic leaflet management device 10, by generating electronic leaflets including moving images, The product can be appealed, and the understanding of the product can be deepened.

(3) Personal Electronic Leaflet Generation Function This is a function to generate electronic leaflets including themes and products that take into consideration the tastes and preferences of individual users. For example, users can get their own electronic flyers.

3 and 4 are sequence diagrams for explaining the operation of the electronic leaflet system.
The electronic flyer management device 10 acquires product information, product images, and plan information from the material management device 30 (step S101). The product information is information representing the product that is the target of the period bargain sale. The image information may be an image related to the product, such as an image representing the appearance of the product or an image explaining how to use the product. The plan information is information relating to a plan for distributing electronic leaflets.

The electronic handbill management device 10 acquires the plan creation request information for the electronic handbill from the advertiser terminal 20 (step S102). The plan creation request information includes information related to a plan for distributing electronic leaflets. For example, plan creation request information includes information for requesting distribution of electronic leaflets of products at what time and with what plan.
Based on the plan creation request information, the electronic handbill management device 10 transmits to the material management device 30 a query request for product information regarding the product to be planned (step S103), and acquires product information (step S104). ). In addition, based on the plan creation request information, the electronic handbill management device 10 transmits to the material management device 30 a query request for image information related to the product to be planned (step S105), and acquires image information ( step S106). As a result, the electronic handbill management device 10 can obtain general information about the product.

Next, the electronic handbill management device 10 accesses the SNS server 50 (step S107) and collects information based on the comments posted by the user (step S108). For example, the electronic handbill management device 10 crawls the information stored in the SNS server 50 using a crawler function to obtain comments on products, comments not directly related to products but frequently posted, and product reviews. Collect data such as keywords included in comments, hashtags set when posting comments, etc. More specifically, the electronic handbill management device 10 stores comments on topics that have become popular in the most recent short period of time, comments on topics that are becoming widely known by appearing in the comments of many people, or hashes of these comments. Tags are collected by crawling SNS. As a result, it is possible to acquire keywords, hashtags, etc. based on comments in line with what is currently being tweeted on the street. In other words, instead of simply collecting keywords, it is possible to collect keywords and the like related to hot topics. Here, the electronic handbill management device 10 may collect the entire sentences that make up the comments, and the electronic handbill management device 10 may collect keywords from the sentences.

The electronic handbill management device 10 also accesses the search engine 60 (step S109) and collects comments posted by users (step S110). For example, the electronic handbill management device 10 crawls the search engine 60 for comments on product reviews (evaluations) posted on the product EC site and hashtags used for recent searches. Get keywords included in product reviews and frequently used hashtags.

Next, the electronic handbill management device 10 performs natural language processing using product information, information obtained from the SNS server 50, the search engine 60, etc., so as to find out what is currently in fashion and what is currently in fashion. Keywords and hashtags are selected, centering on words that are often tweeted during the period (step S111). This selection may be performed by clustering character strings (or morphemes) included in keywords and hashtags for each product by machine learning to extract characteristic character strings. The keywords and hashtags selected here can be candidates for the theme corresponding to the electronic handbill.
When the keywords and hash tags are selected, the electronic handbill management device 10 stores the selected keywords and hash tags in the material management device 30 (step S112).

Next, the electronic handbill management device 10 generates hash tag candidates or theme candidates corresponding to the plan creation request information received from the advertiser terminal 20 based on the selected keywords and hash tags, 20 (step S113). This makes it possible to propose hash tags and theme candidates to be set when distributing electronic leaflets to advertisers.
Based on an operation input from the advertiser, the advertiser terminal 20 requests the creation of an electronic leaflet together with information indicating whether or not hash tag candidates or theme candidates are acceptable, or which of these candidates is to be used. is transmitted (step S114).
When the electronic handbill management device 10 receives a production request together with hash tag or theme information from the advertiser terminal 20, it attaches the hash tag received from the advertiser terminal 20 to the electronic handbill requested by the advertiser. When receiving a character string indicating a theme from an advertiser, the electronic handbill management device 10 generates a hash tag by adding "#" to the beginning of the character string indicating the theme, and attaches it to the electronic handbill. Here, the hash tag may be attached to the electronic leaflet by attaching the hash tag to the electronic leaflet itself, or by associating the hash tag with the electronic leaflet identification information that identifies the electronic leaflet. Alternatively, a hash tag may be assigned by associating it with product identification information that identifies the product.

The electronic handbill management device 10 transmits electronic handbill production request information to the content generation device 40 . The production request information may be an electronic leaflet attached with a hash tag, or may be information in which product identification information and a hash tag are associated.
The content generation device 40 is data of an electronic leaflet with a hash tag that is processed into a state that can be viewed on a user terminal 70 based on an operation input from a person in charge of creation at a production company. Generate processing data. The content generation device 40 transmits the generated processed data to the electronic handbill management device 10 (step S117). Thereby, the content generation device 40 can electronically deliver the product to the electronic handbill management device 10 .
When the electronic handbill management device 10 receives the electronic delivery of the product from the content generation device 40, it transmits the product to the advertiser terminal 20 (step S118).
The advertiser terminal 20 displays the electronically delivered product (here, an electronic leaflet with a hash tag) based on an operation input from the advertiser. After confirming the electronic leaflet, the advertiser transmits the production request information of the moving image leaflet to the electronic leaflet management device 10 when adding a moving image to the delivered electronic leaflet (step S119). Here, the advertiser terminal 20 may transmit an instruction to the electronic leaflet management device 10 to the effect that the electronic leaflet attached with the hash tag may be published based on an instruction from the advertiser. As a result, the electronic handbill management apparatus 10 publishes the electronic handbill attached with the hash tag so that it can be browsed from the user terminal 70 .

The electronic handbill management device 10 transmits the moving image handbill production request information to the content generation device 40 (step S120).
The content generation device 40 generates processed data by adding moving image data to the electronic handbill based on an operation input from a person in charge of creation at the production company. Here, it is also possible to generate processed data after adding moving image data to the processed data transmitted in step S117.
The content generation device 40 electronically delivers the product by transmitting the processed data to which the moving image data has been added to the electronic handbill management device 10 (step S121).

When the electronic handbill management device 10 receives the electronic delivery of the product from the content generation device 40, it transmits the product to the advertiser terminal 20 (step S122).
The advertiser terminal 20 displays the electronically delivered product (here, an electronic leaflet to which video data and hashtags are added) based on an operation input from the advertiser. After confirming the electronic leaflet, the advertiser transmits production request information for the personal electronic leaflet to the electronic leaflet management device 10 if a personal electronic leaflet is also produced for the delivered electronic leaflet (step S123). The personal electronic leaflet production request information may include an instruction to permit the publication of the personal electronic leaflet.
Further, here, the advertiser terminal 20 may transmit an instruction to the electronic leaflet management device 10 to the effect that the electronic leaflet to which the moving image data and the hash have been added may be published based on the instruction from the advertiser. good. As a result, the electronic handbill management device 10 publishes the electronic handbill to which the moving image data and the hash tag are added so that it can be viewed from the user terminal 70 .

When receiving the personal electronic leaflet production request information, the electronic leaflet management apparatus 10 generates personal electronic leaflet data (step S124). When the user terminal 70 requests to view the electronic leaflet, the electronic leaflet management device 10 controls the display on the terminal (step S125) to transmit the electronic leaflet attached with the hash tag to the user terminal 70. . Here, when a hash tag is clicked (or touch-input) on the user terminal 70 , an electronic handbill attached with a hash tag identical to or corresponding to the hash tag is sent to the user terminal 70 . As a result, the user terminal 70 can display electronic leaflets corresponding to the hash tag to be searched. This allows the user to search and view electronic flyers using hashtags. Hashtags attached to electronic flyers are based on themes of products, so when a user wants to take some action, he or she searches for hashtags using themes related to the action. This allows the user to easily search for electronic leaflets based on theme rather than price.
The electronic handbill management device 10 can also transmit a personal electronic handbill to the user terminal 70 .

When an electronic leaflet is displayed by the user terminal 70 in response to an operation input from the user, the electronic leaflet management apparatus 10 stores log information indicating which pages constituting the electronic leaflet were displayed and in what order. Collected by the history management unit 116 and stored in the access history storage unit 117 . The history output unit 118 transmits the collected results stored in the access history storage unit 117 to the advertiser terminal 20 . Here, the history output unit 118 can also display the collection result on the display screen of the electronic handbill management device 10 . The collection result output here may be the log information itself, or the history output unit 118 may perform statistical processing based on the log information and output the result of the statistical processing.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of an electronic leaflet with hash tags.
In this figure, an electronic leaflet with a hash tag has a tag area R1 where the hash tag is displayed, a product area R2 where product information is displayed, and an image where a still image or video representing the theme is displayed. A case in which the region R3 is included is illustrated.

The tag area R1 displays a hash tag attached to the product. Here, two hashtags are displayed side by side. By clicking or touching this hash tag, the user can search and display other electronic leaflets based on this hash tag. In addition, by performing a keyword search using the search function, it is possible to collect and display electronic leaflets with hashtags corresponding to the keyword.

The product area R2 is an area in which appearance photographs of a plurality of products are displayed side by side. These products are products corresponding to the keywords (themes) included in the hashtags displayed in the tag area R1. For example, products that fall under the theme of "goodbye fatigue" included in the hashtag, such as nutritional drinks and vitamins, are displayed that are expected to have the effect of relieving or reducing fatigue.

The image area R3 is an area in which a still image or moving image representing the theme assigned to the product displayed in the product region R2 is displayed. By displaying video data corresponding to the theme of the product, the appeal of the product can be enhanced.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example in which an electronic leaflet with a hash tag is printed as a printed matter.
Electronic leaflets with hashtags can also be printed on print media and distributed to users. For example, it can be installed near the entrance of a store or near a product shelf so that a user who visits the store can take it home.
The content printed on the printed matter is almost the same as the electronic leaflet with hashtags attached, but a two-dimensional barcode is added and printed. One two-dimensional barcode may be printed on the print medium, or different two-dimensional barcodes may be printed for each theme. The two-dimensional barcode includes URL (uniform resource locator) data for accessing the electronic flyer on which the two-dimensional barcode is printed.
When the user activates the camera function of the user terminal 70 and takes a picture of the two-dimensional barcode, the user terminal 70 extracts the URL included in the two-dimensional barcode, and based on the URL, the electronic handbill management device 10 publishes it. Access the page of the e-flyer that has the e-flyer and display the e-flyer. At this time, the electronic leaflet management apparatus 10 can obtain user identification information from the user terminal 70 at the time of access. The user identification information may be a user ID at the time of user registration for the application that displays the electronic handbill, or may be identification information for identifying the user terminal 70 .
Here, if a user only receives a printed matter on which an electronic leaflet is printed, it is not possible to grasp which user has received the printed matter corresponding to which electronic leaflet. Since it is possible to obtain user identification information based on the access history using barcodes, it is possible to identify which users viewed which electronic leaflets and which themes they were interested in through printed materials. can grasp. By grasping the user identification information, it becomes possible to analyze the relationship between the user's attributes (address, gender, age, etc.) and the themes in which the user is interested.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a personal electronic leaflet.
In this figure, the personal electronic leaflet includes a tag area R21 in which hashtags are displayed, a product area R22 in which product information is displayed, and an image area R23 in which a still image or moving image representing the theme is displayed. It is exemplified for the case where
Here, a plurality of products corresponding to the hashtags included in the tag area R21 are displayed in the product area R22. In the personal electronic leaflet, the combination and arrangement order of the products displayed in the product area R22 differ depending on the user. The appeal of the products to the user can be enhanced by combining the products and arranging the products according to the user. For example, if the hashtag is a theme related to measures against hay fever, the products posted on the electronic flyer will be eye drops for hay fever, oral medicine for hay fever, masks, etc. For a user who has more opportunities to purchase oral medicine than eye drops, the oral medicine product is laid out and displayed above the eye drop product.

The electronic handbill management device 10 also has a function to appropriately associate products with hashtags. The electronic handbill management device 10 can generate hash tags according to the theme without human intervention, but generates hash tags according to the theme according to instructions from the advertiser or the administrator of the electronic handbill management device 10. You can help generate hashtags if you do.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of plan target product information based on plan creation request information for an electronic leaflet transmitted from the advertiser terminal 20. As shown in FIG. The planning target product information includes a product code that identifies the product, a product name that is the name of the product, a product price, a plurality of keywords, and a group. The products are arranged according to the product handled by the advertiser. Therefore, products with the same or similar product categories are arranged in order. Keywords obtained from SNS or search engines are used. Group indicates the group to which the product belongs.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of tag consideration information.
The tag consideration information includes hash tags attached to the products and information about the products. Here, as hash tags, there are a first hash tag, a second hash tag, and a third hash tag, and product codes, product names, prices, etc. are associated with these as information related to products. In the tag review information, information about products is arranged with hashtags as keys.

The electronic handbill management device 10 displays the planning target product information and the tag review information on the display screen.

As a result, a service or the like is provided according to the content of the electronic ticket.
As another usage form of the electronic ticket, by pressing the electronic ticket use button displayed on the display screen of the user terminal 70 and presenting it to the person in charge of the cash register, benefits (for example, discount) corresponding to the electronic ticket can be obtained. You may accept it. Here, by pressing the electronic ticket use button, a barcode is displayed on the user terminal 70, and the barcode is read by the barcode reader of the POS terminal of the store, and the discount amount is calculated from the settlement amount at the cash register. subtracted.

When the electronic ticket is changed to used, the user terminal 70 notifies the electronic ticket use management unit 152 that the electronic ticket has been used (step S213). Here, the user terminal 70 transmits information identifying which electronic ticket it is and user identification information assigned to the consumer to the electronic ticket usage management unit 152 .

When the electronic ticket usage management unit 152 receives the information identifying which electronic ticket it is and the user identification information assigned to the consumer from the user terminal 70, the electronic ticket usage management unit 152 identifies the product corresponding to the electronic ticket. , the information specifying the product for which the electronic coupon was used, the user identification information, the date and time of use, and the information specifying the store using the electronic ticket (store ID, etc.) are transmitted as usage information to the electronic ticket generation unit 151 (step S214). .
After acquiring the usage information from the electronic ticket usage management unit 152, the electronic ticket generation unit 151 transmits the usage information to the handbill management unit 153 (step S215). As a result, the handbill management unit 153 can collect information about the product for which the electronic ticket was used, user identification information of the consumer who purchased the product, date and time of use, and information about the store used.
After acquiring the usage information, the handbill management unit 153 totalizes the relationship between the purchased product and the user (step S216). For example, the handbill management unit 153 reads the attributes of the user corresponding to the user identification information from the user information storage unit 155, and aggregates the relationship between the purchased products and the attributes to determine the age group and gender of the product. It becomes possible to analyze whether users tend to purchase. It is also possible to analyze when and at which store the product was purchased. This kind of analysis not only measures the effectiveness of electronic flyers that indicate that a product was purchased in response to the consumer viewing the electronic flyer, but also uses electronic tickets to determine whether the purchased products and , can collect the relationship with the consumer who purchased the product.

The handbill management unit 153 transmits the usage information to the promotion server 45 (step S217). When the promotion server 45 receives the usage information transmitted from the handbill management unit 153, the promotion server 45 aggregates the relationship between the purchased product and the user (step S218). Here, the promotion server 45 cannot obtain information about what kind of user who saw which paper leaflet purchased which product just by distributing paper leaflets to consumers. By cooperating with the management device 10A, it is possible to collect the relationship between the purchased product and the user (for example, user attributes) according to the use of the electronic ticket, analyze the purchase tendency of the product, and provide marketing information. can be utilized as Based on this analysis result, it becomes possible to use it when planning future promotions (step S219).

<<About the operation of the personal DB leaflet function>>
Next, the operation of the personal DB handbill function will be described. Here, the creation and publication of a personal DB leaflet will be described.
FIG. 15 is a sequence diagram for explaining the operation of the handbill system.
The handbill management unit 153 acquires data indicating the content of the plan for the electronic handbill from the advertiser terminal 20 (step S301). The plan content of the electronic leaflet includes information on the plan to distribute the electronic leaflet. For example, the contents of the plan include information indicating when and with what plan the electronic leaflet of the product is to be distributed.
In some cases, the leaflet management unit 153 acquires the plan content of the electronic leaflet from the promotion server 45 instead of the advertiser terminal 20 (step S302).

Based on the contents of the plan, the handbill management unit 153 transmits to the promotion server 45 an inquiry request for product information regarding the product targeted for the plan (step S303), and acquires the product information (step S304). Based on the content of the plan, the handbill management unit 153 also transmits a request for querying image information regarding the product targeted for the plan to the promotion server 45 (step S305), and acquires image information (step S306). As a result, the electronic handbill management device 10A can obtain general information about the product.

Next, the leaflet management unit 153 selects a theme for the project from calendar data including schedules for 52 weeks, marketing information, SNS trend information, etc. (step S307), and performs processing for associating the theme with the product (step S308). The handbill management unit 153 analyzes the language of the character strings posted on the SNS, calculates the distance indicating the degree of relevance between the product and the theme based on the analysis result, and performs linking processing according to the distance. For example, products and themes that are close to each other are linked.
Here, the theme is a subject for classifying multiple products included in the promotion. Themes include, for example, camping specials, general cleaning specials, seasonal vegetable festivals, simple cooking specials, daily specials, and regular products (products that are continuously sold at lower prices than usual during the advertising period). Products associated with a theme are also called theme products.

Next, the handbill management unit 153 accesses the SNS server 50 (step S309) and collects information based on the comments posted by the user (step S310). This collection process may be the same as that of step S110 described above.

Next, the leaflet management unit 153 performs natural language processing using product information, information obtained from the SNS server 50, the search engine 60, etc., so as to determine what is currently in fashion and what is currently in fashion. Keywords and hashtags are selected, centering on words that are often tweeted at the time (step S311). This selection may be performed by clustering character strings (or morphemes) included in keywords and hashtags for each product by machine learning to extract characteristic character strings. The keywords and hashtags selected here can be candidates for the theme corresponding to the electronic handbill.
The handbill management unit 153 transmits keyword tags and hash tags indicating keywords for products to the promotion server 45 (step S312).

When the promotion server 45 receives the keyword tag and hash tag for the product from the electronic handbill management device 10A, the promotion server 45 stores the received keyword tag and hash tag for the product in the database within the promotion server 45 (step S313). Here, the products stored in the promotion server 45 can be stored in association with keyword tags and hash tags for the products.
