Managed by administrator. Note that the consumer terminal 60 and the store terminal 22A may be configured by a so-called head mounted display unit.

  FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a POS data table in which POS data is stored. As shown in FIG. 2, the POS data includes a POS code, a category of the corresponding product in the POS system, a product name, and a price of the product. The “POS code” may be a specific standard format such as a JAN format, or may be a store-specific format.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a large classification such as vegetables, meat, and moss is set in the category. In addition, as the product name, a product name such as radish, pork, potato, and / or supplier name (manufacturer name) is set. The price is set to the price of the sales unit for each piece or weight.

  The POS data table is stored in the store server DB 21A provided in the store server 20A. In the POS data, different POS codes and different product names may be set even for the same product depending on the POS system employed in each store.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a product browsing history information table in which product browsing history information indicating which consumer has browsed the history information of which product is stored. The product browsing history information table is stored in the management server DB 11. The product browsing history information is information used to grasp the history browsing status of each product such as the consumer who browsed the history information of the product and the content of the product viewed, and whether or not the points described later have been issued. . As illustrated in FIG. 3, the product browsing history information includes, for example, an individual product code (traceability code) used for searching for product history information, and a consumer ID for identifying a consumer who has viewed the product history information. , Point information indicating whether or not points have been granted after browsing the corresponding product, and a store number (for example, the store terminal 22A) used for browsing the product can be identified (browse by the consumer terminal) And the browsing time indicating the time when the history information was browsed. Although not shown in FIG. 3, other information such as the price of the corresponding product is also included in the product browsing history information.

  The individual product code is a code that can specify the production / distribution history information of the corresponding product, and is a code printed on the product or product packaging as a search key in the traceability system. The product history information includes, for example, various information related to the product history such as the product producer, manufacturer, distributor, production location, production date, production date, product name, and store delivery date. Note that the number of digits of the traceability code may be any number, and the number of digits may be different depending on the type of product.

  Specifically, the browsing time may be the time when the individual product code for the browsing request is read or the time when the browsing history of the product is registered in the product browsing history information table. In this example, the browsing time is stored to the second unit as shown in FIG. Note that the viewing time may be configured as “year, day, minute, second”, “day, minute, second”, “minute, second”, “second” ] May be constituted only by.

Next, the operation of the product information management system 100 of this example will be described.
First, history information provision processing in the product information management system 100 of this example will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of history information (product history information, related product advertisement information) providing processing in the history information providing system 100 of this example. Here, the case where the consumer X performs a history inquiry of the product Y sold at the store A using the store terminal 22A will be described as an example, and the description will be made except for the processing particularly related to the present invention. May be omitted.

  In the history information providing process, first, the store terminal 22A accesses the product information management server 10 in accordance with the operation of the consumer X (step S101). At this time, the consumer X notifies the product information management server 10 of the consumer ID using, for example, a user card (consumer card).

  In step S101, for example, it is accessed by a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) given to the store A where the product Y is sold over the counter. In addition, you may make it access with URL provided to other organizations and groups, such as the manufacturer which manufactures the goods Y.

  When there is an access from the store terminal 22A, the product information management server 10 identifies the consumer X who operated the store terminal 22A based on the consumer ID, and the consumer X inputs the traceability code (product code). A code input screen is generated and transmitted to the store terminal 22A (step S102).

  The store terminal 22A displays the code input screen from the merchandise information management server 10 on the display device provided therein (step S103). On the code input screen, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, a display area where the name of the store is displayed, a display area where the name of the specified consumer X is displayed, and a code input for entering the traceability code A search button or the like that is pressed when searching for product history information using the traceability code input in the area and the code input area is provided.

  When the code input screen is displayed, the consumer X operates the input device such as a keyboard provided in the store terminal 22A to input the traceability code given to the product Y into the code input area.

  And store terminal 22A will transmit the traceability code of goods Y inputted by consumer X to goods information management server 10, if press of a search button is received (Step S104).

  Upon receipt of the traceability code, the product information management server 10 refers to the product history information stored in the product management server DB 11 and searches for product history information of the product Y using the received traceability code (step S105). . Specifically, product history information associated with a traceability code (product code) is extracted from the product history information stored in the management server DB 11.

  Next, the merchandise information management server 10 creates merchandise browsing history information including the consumer ID and the traceability code from the store terminal 22A, and stores them in the merchandise browsing history information table (see FIG. 3) stored in the management server DB11. The created product browsing history information is accumulated (step S106).

  In addition to the consumer ID and the traceability code, the merchandise information management server 10 accumulates point information, browsing time, and the like as merchandise browsing history information in the merchandise browsing history information table. In the point information, “point not given” indicating that points have not been given yet is set as an initial value.

  As described above, the product browsing history information indicating that the consumer X has browsed the history information of the product Y sold at the store A is registered in the product browsing history information table. In addition, when the consumer X browses a plurality of products, the above process is repeatedly executed, and product browsing history information for each product is sequentially registered.

  Note that step S106 is not limited to the timing illustrated in FIG. 4, and may be performed at other timings, for example, before or after executing a process of transmitting a product history information browsing screen described later. After sending the product history information browsing screen, since the history information of the corresponding product has been browsed almost certainly, the reliability of the browsing history indicated by the product browsing history information can be improved. .

  Next, the product information management server 10 refers to the product information stored in the management server DB 11 and searches for related products related to the product Y indicated by the received traceability code (step S107). Specifically, the related product linked to the traceability code is extracted from the product information stored in the management server DB 11. In addition, the value of the point of the coupon which can be used within the service business range of the service provider who provides a predetermined service is set in advance for each of the product Y and the related products in the management server DB 11.

  When searching for related products, the product information management server 10 determines an advertisement information search keyword for related products (step S108). In this example, the product information management server 10 decides to extract the name of the related product included in the advertisement information to be searched and the related word related to the related product, and use the extracted word as the advertisement information search keyword. To do. In this case, for example, using the advertisement information search keyword determination table stored in the management server DB 11, the product name and related word of the related product linked to the traceability code related to the received product Y are extracted. In other words, the advertisement information search keyword determination table is a table in which a traceability code is associated with an advertisement information search keyword for a related product linked to the traceability code.

  In step S108, for example, if the product Y is beer and the related product is green soybeans, for example, the product name of the green beans, the cooking menu including the green beans, the name of the store or restaurant that handles the green beans, Some or all of the related words such as the green soybean production area and the green soybean producer are extracted as advertisement information search keywords.

  When the advertisement information search keyword is determined, the product information management server 10 presents the determined advertisement information search keyword and makes a request for providing advertisement information to the search processing server 50 (step S109).

  Next, the search processing server 50 sets the presented advertisement information search keyword in response to the advertisement information provision request, and searches for the advertisement information using the search engine installed therein (step S110). Specifically, information searched using a search engine based on an advertisement information search keyword presented from search information stored in the search information DB 51 is extracted as advertisement information. The processing here may be so-called AND search or OR search. Thereafter, the search processing server 50 transmits the searched advertisement information to the product information management server 10 (step S111), and ends the processing here.

  When receiving the advertisement information from the search processing server 50, the product information management server 10 includes a display area for displaying the received advertisement information (that is, a display area for displaying the advertisement information of the related product), and the product Y of the searched product Y. A product history information browsing screen for browsing the product history information is generated (step S112). Then, the product information management server 10 transmits the generated product history information browsing screen to the store terminal 22A (Step S113).

  The store terminal 22A displays the merchandise history information browsing screen from the merchandise information management server 10 on the display device provided therein (step S114). On the product history information browsing screen, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, a display area in which product history information of product Y is displayed, a display area in which advertisement information of related products is displayed, and a product Y in which history information is browsed. A display area that displays notification information that points will be awarded if you purchase the product later, a point inquiry button that is pressed when making point inquiries, an end button that is pressed when browsing the product history information, etc. Is provided.

  When the product history information browsing screen is displayed, the consumer X browses the product history information displayed on the product history information browsing screen, and presses the point inquiry button to end the browsing when making a point inquiry. To do so, press the end button.

  When the point inquiry button is pressed, the store terminal 22A determines the value of the product points calculated and given by the product information management server 10 or the value of the acquired points associated with the product browsing history information of the consumer X. Is displayed on the display screen of the display device provided therein. Further, when the end button is pressed (Y in step S115), the store terminal 22A ends the process here. At this time, a browsing end notification for instructing the merchandise information management server 10 to complete the browsing process of the merchandise history information may be performed.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the point acquisition status confirmation screen is a display area in which characters indicating that the point acquisition status confirmation screen is displayed, a display in which the name, user ID, etc. of the consumer X are displayed. Area, display area where the browsing history information of the product of the consumer X is displayed, and display area where the value of points given at the time of purchase is displayed when the product Y viewed on the product history information browsing screen is purchased In addition, a display area in which the value of points acquired by the consumer X so far is displayed, a close button that is pressed when the point acquisition status confirmation screen is closed, and the like.

  Next, point grant processing in the product information management system 100 of this example will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of point grant processing in the product information management system 100 of this example. Here, the processing when the consumer X purchases the product Y at the store A after viewing the product history information of the product Y will be described, and the description is omitted except for the processing particularly related to the present invention. There may be cases.

  In the point giving process, first, the POS register 41A reads the POS code attached to the product Y that the consumer X desires to purchase in the store A according to the cashier's operation. The store server 20A acquires the POS code read by the POS register 41 (step S201).

  The POS code is a code such as a barcode attached to each product. The POS register 41A executes a process of reading the POS code and transmitting it to the store server 20A by a code reader such as a barcode reader.

  Next, the POS register 41A reads the individual product code attached to the product Y in accordance with the cashier's operation. The store server 20A acquires the individual product code read by the POS register 41 (step S202). The POS register 41A executes a process of reading the individual product code and transmitting it to the store server 20A by a code reader such as a barcode reader. Note that the code reading device that reads the POS code and the code reading device that reads the individual product code may be the same device or different devices.

  Next, the store server 20A acquires a unique consumer ID assigned to the consumer X (step S203). For example, first, the POS register 41A reads the consumer ID registered in the IC memory of the consumer card distributed to the consumer X according to the cashier's operation, and transmits it to the store server 20A. Execute. Then, the store server 20A acquires the consumer ID read by the POS register 41.

  Then, the store server 20A transmits the acquired POS code, the acquired individual product code, and the acquired consumer ID to the product information management server 10 (step S204).

  When receiving the POS code, the individual product code, and the consumer ID, the product information management server 10 receives the received product sales information (information indicating the sales history of the product) such as the received POS code, the individual product code, and the consumer ID. The product sales information table (not shown) stored in the management server DB 11 is accumulated.

  Next, the merchandise information management server 10 uses the consumer ID and the traceability code received from the store server 20A as search keys, and the consumer X selects the merchandise Y from the merchandise browsing history information stored in the management server DB 11. Product browsing history information indicating that the user has browsed is searched (step S205). That is, the product browsing history information in which the consumer ID of the consumer X and the traceability code of the product Y are associated is searched.

  The merchandise information management server 10 searches the merchandise browsing history information in which the consumer ID of the consumer X and the traceability code of the merchandise Y are associated, and the point information included in the merchandise browsing history information is “ If it is “no point granted” (step S206), the value of the product point preset for the product Y is calculated (step S207), and the calculated product point is given to the consumer X (step S208). The point information of the corresponding product browsing history information is updated to “points granted”. The given product points are managed by a point information table stored in the management server DB 11, for example. In the point information table, granted point information indicating how many points are given to which consumer is set.

  In other words, when the product Y is purchased after browsing the history information of the product Y, the history by the consumer X is given by giving points (product points) that can be used for a predetermined service set for the product Y. It is possible to increase the willingness to browse information. When the consumer X is given points in this way, by operating the store terminal 22A, the consumer X stores points in association with the product browsing history information, or consumes the points and receives a predetermined service. Will be able to.

  As described above, in the above-described embodiment, the merchandise information management server 10 requests the history information acquisition from the store terminal 22A presenting the consumer ID and the traceability code (individual product code, history information search code). Accordingly, the history information of the product is searched using the traceability code, the related product related to the product is searched, and the search processing server 50 is searched for the advertisement information of the searched related product using the search engine. Generated and provided a history information providing screen including a display area for displaying the advertisement information displayed, and presented as at least a consumer as product search history information (product browsing history information) indicating a search history of product history information The consumer ID and the traceability code are accumulated, and the consumer ID acquired by the POS register installed in the store A and its consumption The consumer purchase information including the traceability code assigned to the product purchased by the consumer to whom the ID is assigned is received, and the consumer ID and the traceability code included in the received consumer purchase information are included. It is determined whether or not product search history information has been accumulated, and on the condition that it has been determined that it has been accumulated, coupon points that can be used within the service business scope of a service provider that provides a predetermined service are determined. Since it is configured to be given to the store terminal 22A, it is possible to provide advertisement information of related products related to the product together with the history information of the product without increasing the management cost and management burden of the system. The willingness to use can be improved, and history information and advertisement information can be provided to more consumers.

  That is, when the existing search processing server 50 executes a search for advertisement information of related products, an administrator who manages the traceability system (specifically, the product information management server 10) collects and manages advertisement information. There is no need, and further, it is possible to provide the consumer X with advertisement information of related products related to the product Y without incurring the cost burden related to facility construction and maintenance for the accumulation and management of advertisement information. In particular, if the search processing server 50 that is the search execution source searches a huge amount of information and is equipped with a high-performance search engine, such a large amount of information is not managed by itself, Without providing a high-performance search engine by itself, it is possible to quickly and accurately extract and provide related product advertisement information from a vast amount of information. Further, the existing search processing server 50 executes the search for the advertisement information, so that the advertisement information of the related product related to the product Y can be transmitted to the consumer X without securing traffic for the search of the advertisement information. It becomes possible to provide.

  Moreover, in embodiment mentioned above, when the merchandise information management server 10 receives information that the merchandise was purchased from the store terminal 22A, the purchaser is a person who has already viewed the history information of the merchandise. Since the product points set for each product in advance are given to the store terminal 22A on the condition of the above, it is possible to increase the willingness to browse the history information of the product that the consumer X intends to purchase. become able to. Therefore, the willingness to use the system can be improved, and history information and advertisement information can be provided to more consumers.

  In the embodiment described above, the product search history information indicates whether the product points have been given or not given in addition to the consumer ID and the history information search code presented in the history information acquisition request. The product information management server 10 includes point information that can be identified, and it is determined that the product browsing history information indicating that the history information of the purchased product has already been browsed, and the product browsing history information. Since the point information included in is configured to give points on condition that the product points are not given, it is possible to prevent the points from being given redundantly.

  In the above-described embodiment, points are set for each product. However, points may be set for each manufacturer or related wholesaler. In this case, in the above-described point calculation (step S207), the point is inquired to the terminal device managed by the manufacturer or the related wholesaler, and the point specified by the answer may be given in step S208. . Further, points may be given by a terminal device managed by a manufacturer or a related wholesaler. In this case, for example, the store terminal 22A or the merchandise information management server 10 makes a point provision request to the terminal device managed by the manufacturer or related wholesaler, and automatically responds to the provision request from the terminal device managed by the manufacturer or related wholesaler. In other words, points may be given to the store terminal 22A.

  In the embodiment described above, the product information management server 10 transmits a product history information browsing screen for displaying related product advertisement information to the store terminal 22A, and provides history information of the specific product Y. However, the product history information browsing screen may be transmitted to the consumer terminal 60 to provide the history information of the specific product Y. In this case, the merchandise information management server 10 may give points such as related merchandise points to the consumer terminal 60. Further, the consumer terminal 60 and the store terminal 22A may be configured by an information terminal such as a personal computer or a portable information terminal such as a PDA or a head mounted display unit.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the product information management server 10 and the search processing server 50 are separate servers, but the product information management server 10 and the search processing server 50 are configured by one server device. Also good.
