The list draft generation unit 310 may generate a shopping list draft based on, for example, information of the user who provides the shopping list draft among the customer IDs included in the shopping list history 351. The list draft generation unit 310 may generate the shopping list draft based on information about the store used by the user who provides the shopping list draft, among the store IDs included in the shopping list history 351. In these cases, for example, the shopping list used when the customer purchased products at the store last time may be used as the original shopping list.

The list draft generation unit 310 may generate a shopping list draft by adding information such as date of use and time of use to this information. The list draft generation unit 310 may generate a shopping list draft based on condition information indicating conditions for generating a shopping list draft, which is instructed by the user and transmitted by the mobile terminal 10.

The condition information may include, for example, information on attributes such as shopping time, season, store, and budget. The list draft generation unit 310 may generate a shopping list draft based on a learned model or a rule-based model created by machine learning with this information as input and a shopping list draft as an output.

The list draft providing unit 321 in the providing unit 320 provides the shopping list draft generated by the list draft generating unit 310 to the user by transmitting it to the mobile terminal 10 . The list draft providing unit 321 may provide a plurality of shopping list drafts generated by the list draft generation unit 310, or may provide one (single) shopping list draft.

The map information providing unit 322 adds the acquired in-store map information to the in-store map information file 352 and updates the in-store map information file 352. When updating the in-store map information file 352, the map information providing unit 322 may sequentially delete old in-store map information. The map information providing unit 322 provides the user with in-store map information selected from the in-store map information included in the in-store map information file 352 by transmitting it to the mobile terminal 10.

The electronic flyer providing unit 323 acquires the electronic flyer transmitted by the in-store server 50, adds the acquired electronic flyer to the electronic flyer file 353, and updates the electronic flyer file 353. When updating the electronic flyer file 353, the electronic flyer providing unit 323 may sequentially delete old electronic flyers. The electronic flyer providing unit 323 provides the user with an electronic flyer selected from among the electronic flyers included in the electronic flyer file 353 by transmitting it to the mobile terminal 10 .

Next, the functional configuration of the in-store system of the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of the functional configuration of the in-store system according to the embodiment. The in-store system 40 includes an in-store server 50, as also shown in FIG. The in-store server 50 includes, for example, a JAN code transmitter 510, an in-store map information transmitter 520, an electronic flyer transmitter 530, and a payment information processor 540 as its functions.

For example, the JAN code transmitter 510 identifies the JAN code of the product to be sold, and transmits the identified JAN code to the shopping support server 30. For example, at the beginning of the day, the JAN code transmitter 510 specifies the JAN code for products to be sold on that day based on an input operation performed by a store clerk or the like using the input/output device 55. The JAN code transmitter 510 may specify the JAN code based on information other than the input operation. For example, the JAN code transmitter 510 may specify the JAN code based on a sales plan created in advance, or may specify the JAN code based on information specifying products sold at other stores. .

For example, the in-store map information transmitting unit 520 generates in-store map information and transmits the generated in-store map information to the shopping support server 30. The in-store map information transmitter 520 generates in-store map information when, for example, the layout within the store or the sales position of a product changes, or the content of the product to be sold changes, such as when the product is sold out. The in-store map information transmitter 520 may create in-store map information based on input operations performed by a store clerk using the input/output device 55, or may create in-store map information based on product sales history or the like. Map information may also be created.

The electronic flyer transmitter 530 creates an electronic flyer to provide to users, and transmits the created electronic flyer to the shopping support server 30. For example, the electronic flyer transmitter 530 may create an electronic flyer for the next day every day, or may create an electronic flyer according to a sale day or sale period. The electronic flyer transmitter 530 may create an electronic flyer based on input operations performed by a store clerk using the input/output device 55, or may create an electronic flyer based on the season, time of day, number of products delivered, inventory status, etc. You may also create electronic flyers.

The payment information processing unit 540 generates payment information by adding a store ID that specifies the store to the payment execution information transmitted by the payment processing device 42. The payment information processing unit 540 transmits the generated payment information to the payment management server 20.

Next, the flow of processing in the shopping support system 1 when a user shops will be explained with reference to FIG. 11 and the like. FIG. 11 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the flow of processing in the shopping support system. Here, for example, a process that is executed after the store starts business and the user starts up the mobile terminal 10 will be described.

For example, before starting store operations, the in-store system 40 sends in-store map information and electronic flyers to the in-store map information transmitter 520 and the electronic flyer transmitter 530, respectively, based on input operations by store staff. Generate (step S11). The in-store system 40 transmits the generated in-store map information and electronic flyer to the shopping support server 30.

The shopping support server 30 updates the in-store map information file 352 and the battery flyer file based on the in-store map information and electronic flyer transmitted by the in-store system 40 (step S13). In-store map information and electronic flyers are transmitted by multiple stores. The shopping support server 30 updates the in-store map information file 352 and the battery flyer file every time it receives in-store map information and electronic flyers transmitted from each of a plurality of stores. The processes up to this point are executed, for example, before the store's business hours, but these processes may also be executed after the store opens for business.

Subsequently, for example, when the store's business hours arrive and the shopping support application is activated on the mobile terminal 10 (step S15), request information is transmitted from the mobile terminal 10 to the shopping support server. When the shopping support server 30 receives the transmitted request information, the list draft generation unit 310 generates a shopping list draft by referring to the received request information (step S17). The procedure for generating the shopping list draft will be explained later.

Next, the list draft generation unit 310 transmits the generated shopping list draft to the mobile terminal 10. The mobile terminal 10 determines whether the draft shopping list received by the creation unit 140 is plural (single) (step S19). If the received shopping list draft is singular, the mobile terminal 10 advances the process to step S23.

When a plurality of shopping list drafts have been received, the mobile terminal 10 causes the display control section 150 to display a theme included in each of the plurality of shopping list drafts on the display section 151, and allows the user to select a shopping list draft. When the user specifies a theme displayed on the display section 151, the creation section 140 selects a shopping list draft that includes the specified theme (step S21). At this time, the user may be able to confirm the products included in the draft shopping list by specifying a theme.

Next, the creation unit 140 creates a shopping list listing the products included in the single or selected draft shopping list, and the display control unit 150 displays the shopping list created by the creation unit 140 on the display unit 151. It is displayed (step S23). The user goes around the store and shops while checking the display on the mobile terminal 10 on which the shopping list is displayed.

The shopping list up to this point can be generated anywhere by the user, for example, by operating the mobile terminal 10 at home or the like before visiting a store. Alternatively, the shopping list may be generated by a user visiting the store operating the mobile terminal 10. The store visited by the user is, for example, a store whose detection signal transmitted by the store includes store identification information that identifies the store, and which is included in the detection signal received by the signal receiver 17 provided in the mobile terminal 10. It may be specified based on specific information. Alternatively, the position of the mobile terminal 10 may be acquired by a GPS device installed in the mobile terminal 10, and the store visited by the user may be specified by referring to the position of the mobile terminal and, for example, map information in Japan.

When shopping, the registration processing unit 170 registers the product to be purchased specified by the product specifying unit 160, and the display control unit 150 updates the purchase information and displays the product on the display unit as the product to be purchased is registered. 151 (step S25). The details of the processing of the mobile terminal 10 when the user shops will be further explained later, but the flow of the contents displayed on the mobile terminal 10 when the user shops will now be explained. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating the flow of contents displayed on the mobile terminal 10 when a user shops.

As shown in the left diagram of FIG. 12, in the first display area GA on the display screen of the mobile terminal 10, the words "Shopping Cart" are displayed as the title of the shopping support application, as well as the name of the store and the purchased items ( The number of items (registered products) and the total price are displayed. A shopping list draft is displayed in the second display area GB set at the bottom of the first display area GA. The shopping list draft here is a purchase list of products previously purchased at the same store, and is displayed as a "previously purchased item list." Each product is listed as an "additional product" item.

Furthermore, in the second display area GB, input areas (columns) for each item of "quantity", "amount", and "addition" are set to the side of the product shown in the purchase list. The "Quantity" item displays the planned purchase quantity of each product. In the "Amount" field, the amount of the purchased product is displayed as purchase information. In the "Add" item, the registration status of each product is displayed as purchase information.

The state shown in the left diagram of FIG. 12 is a state in which the purchased product has not yet been registered. At this time, the purchased products and their quantities are listed in the "additional product" and "quantity" columns, respectively. On the other hand, the "Amount" column is left blank, and the "Additional" column displays the characters "unregistered" indicating that it is in an unregistered state. At this time, the amount of each product may be displayed in the "Amount" column. The amount displayed in the "Amount" column may be the unit price of the product, or the amount obtained by multiplying the unit price of the product by the quantity of the product.

In the third display area GC set at the bottom of the second display area GB, a first button icon showing the words "Cancel transaction" and a second button icon showing the words "Payment" are displayed. ing. For example, when the user operates the first button icon, the purchase information is deleted, and as shown in the left diagram of Figure 12, the "Add" item for all products becomes "Not yet", and the product is no longer registered. will be deleted. A predetermined icon image is displayed in the fourth display area GD set below the third display area GC.

Before starting shopping, the user can add items he/she wants to purchase to the draft shopping list to create a shopping list. For example, in the example shown in the middle diagram of Figure 12, each product and quantity of "yoghurt", "5", "banana", "2", "apple", and "2" are included in the shopping list for the original shopping list shown in the left diagram. added and displayed.

When a revised shopping list is created by adding purchased items to the original shopping list and displayed on the mobile terminal 10, the user purchases products (registers products) while looking at the mobile terminal 10. . The right diagram in FIG. 12 shows a state in which product registration has progressed. In this example, the products "white bread," "stick bread," "egg," "natto," and "milk" are registered as products to be purchased.

For products to be purchased for which registration has been completed, the price (subtotal) of the product is displayed in the "Amount" column, and the word "Completed" and a checkbox are displayed in the "Add" column. In addition, the first display area GA displays the number of registered products to be purchased (here, 11 items) and the price (here, 1550 yen).

Additionally, in the process of shopping, it is also possible to add items that are not included in the shopping list to the shopping list. In the example shown in the right diagram of Figure 12, the product "minced pork" and "150g" was not included in the shopping list, but during the shopping process it was added to the shopping list, the registration was completed, and the product became available for purchase. It has become. In this case, the second display area GB displays "minced pork" as the additional product and "150g" as the quantity.

Subsequently, the registration processing unit 170 determines whether registration of all items to be purchased has been completed (step S27). Whether registration of all of the purchase target products has been completed is determined based on whether the user's intention to terminate the purchase of the purchase target products has been obtained. For example, the registration processing unit 170 acquires the user's intention to end the purchase of the purchase target product by operating the second button icon on the mobile terminal 10.

If it is determined that the registration of all the products to be purchased has not been completed, the registration processing unit 170 returns the process to step S25, the display control unit 150 displays the purchase information, and the registration processing unit 170 Register. If it is determined that the registration of all the products to be purchased has been completed, the registration processing unit 170 executes the payment processing together with the payment processing device 42 (step S29).

When the registration of the product to be purchased is completed, the user moves to the vicinity of the payment processing device 42 installed in the store and included in the in-store system 40. Here, for example, the user executes payment using a desired payment method by operating the mobile terminal 10 and the payment processing device 42. When the payment process is completed, the payment processing device 42 generates payment information and transmits it to the payment management server 20 and shopping support server 30 via the in-store server 50, respectively.

In the payment management server 20, the payment processing unit 220 executes payment according to the payment information transmitted by the in-store system 40 (step S31). The shopping support server 30 updates the shopping list history based on the payment information sent by the in-store system 40 and stores it in the storage unit 350 (step S33). In this way, the shopping support system 1 ends the process shown in FIG. 12.

Next, the process of creating a shopping list in the shopping support server 30 will be explained. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing an example of processing by the shopping support server. As a condition for creating a shopping list, the shopping support server 30 determines in the list draft generation unit 310 whether request information transmitted by the mobile terminal 10 has been received (step S101).

If it is determined that the request information has not been received, the list draft generation unit 310 repeats the process of step S101. If it is determined that request information has been received, the list draft generation unit 310 determines whether the received request information includes designation information (step S103). If it is determined that the request information does not include specification information, the list draft generation unit 310 generates a shopping list draft without a theme (step S105). A shopping list draft without a theme is, for example, a default shopping list draft prepared in advance.

If it is determined that the request information includes specified information, the list draft generation unit 310 generates a shopping list draft based on the shopping list history classified by attribute according to the specified information (step S107). For example, when the theme according to the specified information specifies a store, for example, "Store A," the list draft generation unit 310 generates a shopping list draft by referring to the shopping list history of the user at Store A. In addition, there are multiple themes depending on the specified information. For example, when specifying "Morning at store A", a draft shopping list is generated by referring to the user's shopping list history of "Morning at store A". . In this way, the shopping support server 30 ends the process shown in FIG. 13.

Next, the processing of the mobile terminal 10 when the user operates the mobile terminal 10 to create a shopping list will be described. FIG. 14 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing by the mobile terminal. First, the mobile terminal 10 determines whether a shopping list draft has been acquired in the draft information acquisition unit 111 (step S201). If it is determined that the draft shopping list has not been acquired, the draft information acquisition unit 111 repeats the process of step S201.

If it is determined that a shopping list draft has been acquired, the draft information acquisition unit 111 determines whether a plurality of shopping list drafts have been acquired (step S203). When the draft information acquisition unit 111 determines that there is a plurality of acquired shopping list drafts, the display control unit 150 displays a theme included in each of the plurality of shopping list drafts in a state where the user can specify, for example, a GUI ( Graphical User Interface) is displayed on the display unit 151 (step S205). The user looks at the display on the display unit 151 and specifies a theme that is close to what he or she wants to shop for. The first reception unit 121 receives first reception information indicating a draft shopping list of a specified theme through an input operation by the user, and the creation unit 140 receives the first reception information received by the first reception unit 121. Based on this, a shopping list draft is determined (step S205).

Next, the creation unit 140 creates a shopping list based on the determined shopping list draft (step S207). For example, the creation unit 140 creates the determined shopping list draft as it is as a shopping list. The creation unit 140 may create a shopping list by revising the shopping list draft.

Subsequently, the electronic flyer acquiring unit 113 in the acquiring unit 110 determines whether or not the electronic flyer provided by the electronic flyer providing unit 323 of the shopping support server 30 has been received (step S209). If the electronic flyer acquisition unit 113 determines that the electronic flyer has not been acquired, the acquisition unit 110 advances the process to step S215.

When the electronic flyer acquisition unit 113 determines that the electronic flyer has been acquired, the creation unit 140 adds the bargain item included in the electronic flyer to the shopping list (step S211). The display control unit 150 makes the display of the bargain item added to the shopping list different from the display of other products, so that the user can easily understand that the bargain item is a bargain item.

Subsequently, the recommendation unit 130 generates recommendation information indicating a product that the user is recommended to purchase (step S213). The display control unit 150 causes the display unit 151 to display the recommendation information generated by the recommendation unit 130, and thereby the recommendation unit 130 recommends the user to purchase the bargain item.

Subsequently, the second reception unit 122 in the reception unit 120 determines whether or not the second reception information output from the input/output device 15 has been received by the user performing an input operation on the input/output device 15. (Step S215). If it is determined that the second reception information has not been received, the reception unit 120 advances the process to step S219.

If the second reception unit 122 determines that the second reception information outputted by the input/output device 15 has been received, the creation unit 140 revise the shopping list based on the second reception information received by the second reception unit 122. (Step S217). The shopping list may be revised by adding or deleting products, or by increasing or decreasing the quantity of products.

Subsequently, the registration processing unit 170 determines whether to execute payment processing (step S219). If it is determined that the payment process is not to be executed, the registration processing unit 170 repeats the process from step S215. If the registration processing unit 170 determines that the payment process is to be executed, the mobile terminal 10 ends the process shown in FIG. 14.

Next, the processing of the mobile terminal 10 when the user carries the mobile terminal 10 and shops while looking at the shopping list will be explained. FIG. 15 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing by the mobile terminal. The process shown in FIG. 15 is repeatedly executed after the mobile terminal 10 creates the shopping list until it executes the payment process.

First, the mobile terminal 10 causes the display control unit 150 to display the shopping list and purchase information on the display unit 151 (step S301). Subsequently, the registration processing unit 170 determines whether the product specified by the product specifying unit 160 has been registered (step S303). If the product specifying unit 160 determines that the specified product has not been registered, the registration processing unit 170 skips steps S305 to S309 and advances the process to step S311.

If it is determined that the product has been registered, the registration processing unit 170 determines whether the registered product is included in the shopping list (step S305). If it is determined that the registered product is not included in the shopping list, the registration processing unit 170 skips steps S307 to S309 and advances the process to step S311. If it is determined that the registered product is included in the shopping list, the registration processing unit 170 adds the registered product to the shopping list (step S309).

Subsequently, the registration processing unit 170 updates the purchase information based on the registered product (step S309). Here, purchase information is created for the product newly added in step S309. As the registration processing unit 170 updates the purchase information, the display control unit 150 updates the display on the display unit 151 and causes the display unit 151 to display the updated purchase information.

Subsequently, the display control unit 150 determines whether the user has approached the sales location of the product listed on the shopping list (step S311). When the display control unit 150 determines whether or not the user has approached the sales location of the product listed on the shopping list, the detection unit 180 detects the user's location within the store. The display control unit 150 calculates the distance between the user position detected by the detection unit 180 and the product sales position included in the in-store map information, and displays the user when the calculated distance is within a predetermined threshold. It is determined that the item is close to the sales location of the item on the shopping list.

If it is determined that the user is not near the sales location of the product listed on the shopping list, the display control unit 150 skips the process of step S311 and advances the process to step S315. When it is determined that the user is close to the sales position of a product listed on the shopping list, the display control unit 150 highlights the product that is close to the sales position among the products displayed on the display unit 151. , outputs an alarm (step S311). At this time, the input/output device 15 may output an alarm by outputting audio from a speaker or vibrating the mobile terminal 10 using a vibrator.

Subsequently, the third reception unit 123 in the reception unit 120 determines whether or not the product search information transmitted from the mobile terminal 10 has been received (step S313). If it is determined that the third reception unit 123 has received the product search information transmitted by the mobile terminal 10, the mobile terminal 10 ends the process shown in FIG. 15.

If the third reception unit 123 determines that the product search information transmitted by the mobile terminal 10 is not accepted, the display control unit 150 displays the user position in the in-store map information and the sales position of the product indicated by the product search information. get. Next, the display control unit 150 searches for a route from the user's position in the in-store map information to the product sales position indicated by the product search information, and displays the searched route on the display unit 151 together with the in-store map information. (step S317). In this way, the mobile terminal 10 ends the process shown in FIG. 15.
