  Hereinafter, a communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[First embodiment]
FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram showing a configuration of a communication system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  In FIG. 1, a beacon transmitter 30 (hereinafter referred to as “transmitter”) that transmits a beacon signal and an access point 40 (hereinafter referred to as “wireless communication”) that receives the beacon signal transmitted by the transmitter 30 and performs wireless communication. , A schematic block diagram of the server 20 and the communication apparatus 10 capable of communicating with the server apparatus 20 (hereinafter referred to as “server”) via the “AP”.

  The transmitter 30 includes a beacon transmission unit 31 that transmits beacon signals at regular intervals. The beacon signal transmitted by the beacon transmission unit 31 includes a beacon SSID (Service Set Identifier) that is transmitter identification information for identifying the transmitter 30. The beacon signal is transmitted according to the bluetooth 4.0 standard, for example.

  The communication apparatus 10 includes a communication unit 11, a response message acquisition determination unit 15, a display unit 16, a transmission message generation unit 17, and an AP_SSID 18. The communication unit 11 includes a receiving unit 12, a beacon receiving unit 13, and a transmitting unit 14.

  The beacon receiving unit 13 receives the beacon signal transmitted by the transmitter 30 and outputs the beacon SSID included in the beacon signal to the transmission message generating unit 17. The communication unit 10 can communicate with the server 20 by transmitting and receiving data to and from the AP 40 by the reception unit 12 and the transmission unit 14.

  The transmission message generation unit 17 generates a message including AP_SSID 18 that is access point identification information indicating the AP 40 to which the communication device 10 is connected and the beacon SSID output by the beacon reception unit 13 and outputs the message to the transmission unit 14. . In general, since the SSID is acquired by the communication device every time it enters the access point, in this embodiment, the SSID acquired by the communication device 10 from the AP 40 is a storage area defined in advance as AP_SSID18. I remember it.

  The response message acquisition determination unit 15 uses the AP_SSID that is identification information to determine whether or not a predetermined condition described later is satisfied by the server 20, and acquires the determination result received by the reception unit 12.

  In the present embodiment, when it is determined that a predetermined condition is satisfied, the image data is transmitted from the server 20 as a determination result, and when it is determined that the condition is not satisfied, NG is transmitted as the transmission result. 20 is transmitted.

  The response message acquisition determination unit 15 determines the transmission result. If the transmission result is image data, the response message acquisition determination unit 15 displays the image indicated by the image data on the display unit 16, and does nothing if the transmission result is NG. . Thus, in the present embodiment, the predetermined process executed when the determination result indicates that the predetermined condition is satisfied is specified by the beacon SSID on the display unit 16 provided in the communication device 10. This is a process for outputting information to be processed. Specifically, it is a process of displaying an image specified by the beacon SSID. This also applies to other embodiments described later.

  Next, the server 20 will be described. The server 20 includes a reception unit 21, an ID database 22, a condition determination unit 23, a response message generation unit 24, and a transmission unit 25.

  The receiving unit 21 receives data transmitted from the communication device 10 via the AP 40. The condition determination unit 23 refers to the ID database 22 using the AP_SSID received by the reception unit 21, determines whether the predetermined condition is satisfied, and outputs the determination result to the response message generation unit 24. . If the predetermined condition is satisfied, image data is output, otherwise NG is output. The ID database 22 will be described later.

  The response message generation unit 24 generates a message including the determination result output by the condition determination unit 23 and outputs the message to the transmission unit 25. The transmission unit 25 transmits the message generated by the response message generation unit 24 to the communication device 10.

  In FIG. 1 described above, only one communication device 10, server 20, transmitter 30, and AP 40 are shown, but a plurality may be provided. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that a plurality of communication devices 10, transmitters 30, and APs 40 are provided.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an application example of the communication system 1 described in FIG.

  In FIG. 2, a smartphone carried by the user is shown as the communication device 10, and a badge worn by a guidance staff is shown as the transmitter 30. In addition, a range 50 where the beacon signal reaches and a cell 51 of the AP 40 are also shown.

  When the communication device 10 enters the range 50 and further enters the cell 51, an image is displayed on the display unit 16 of the communication device 10 as shown in FIG. In the case of FIG. 2, the guidance staff is a guidance staff for guidance and explanation. As shown in FIG. 2, when a user who is within the range of the cell 51 approaches the guide, an image of the guide with the transmitter 30 attached is displayed on the display unit 16. Note that this screen contains information useful to the user, such as a photo of the information desk and a message “Please call me”.

  That is, when the communication device 10 that has received the beacon signal from the transmitter 30 transmits the beacon SSID and AP_SSID to the server 20, the server 20 transmits image data because the communication device 10 is within the range of the cell 51. It becomes.

  Therefore, the predetermined condition in FIG. 2 is that the communication apparatus 10 is connected to a predetermined AP for the communication apparatus 10 to perform wireless communication. As described above, according to the present embodiment, an image is displayed on the communication device 10 only when the beacon signal transmitted by the transmitter 30 worn by the guide arrives within the range of the cell 51. Effective information can be provided.

  On the other hand, when the beacon signal transmitted by the transmitter 30 does not reach the range of the cell 51 due to the guidance staff moving to another place, an image is not displayed on the communication device 10. Providing users with unnecessary information can be prevented. That is, it is possible to prevent provision of unnecessary information not related to the location in the cell 51.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the AP_SSID database in the ID database 22.

  The AP_SSID database is a database for storing the SSID of the AP. For example, the SSID of an AP installed in a sightseeing spot where there is a guidance staff wearing the transmitter 30 is stored. With this AP_SSID database, it is possible to limit the range in which the communication device 10 exists when displaying an image.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of the beacon database in the ID database 22.

  The beacon database is a database for associating the beacon SSID with the image data. That is, the transmitter 30 worn by the guide is associated with the image of the guide. For example, image data corresponding to a guidance staff wearing a transmitter with a beacon SSID of 123456 is abc. jpg.

  When the AP_SSID received by the server 20 from the communication device 10 exists in the above-described AP_SSID database, the image data corresponding to the received beacon SSID is transmitted from the server 20 to the communication device 10 in the beacon database.

  FIG. 5 is a sequence diagram showing a processing flow in the communication system 1.

  5, first, when the transmitter 30 transmits a beacon signal (step S101), the communication apparatus 10 transmits a message including the AP_SSID generated by the transmission message generation unit 17 and the beacon SSID to the AP 40 (step S102).

  The AP 40 transmits a message including the AP_SSID and the beacon SSID to the server 20 (step S103), and the server executes a determination process for determining whether or not the condition determination unit 23 satisfies the condition (step S104).

  When the condition determination unit 23 determines that the condition is satisfied, the server 20 transmits a message including the image data to the AP 40 as described above (step S105). The AP 40 transmits a message including image data as a determination result to the communication device 10 (step S106). In the communication device 10, the response message acquisition determination unit 15 acquires the determination result and executes a determination process (step S107). .

  Since the response message acquisition determination unit 15 has acquired the image data as the determination result, the response message acquisition determination unit 15 determines that the condition is satisfied, and displays the image indicated by the image data on the display unit 16 (step S108).

  On the other hand, when the condition determination unit 23 determines that the condition is not satisfied, the server 20 transmits a message including NG to the AP 40 (step S109). The AP 40 transmits a message including NG as a determination result to the communication device 10 (step S110). In the communication device 10, the response message acquisition determination unit 15 acquires the determination result and executes a determination process (step S111).

  Since the response message acquisition determination unit 15 has acquired NG as the determination result, the response message acquisition determination unit 15 determines that the condition is not satisfied, and terminates without doing anything.

  FIG. 15 shows a schematic block diagram of a transmitter 330 that transmits a beacon signal and a communication device 310 that receives the beacon signal transmitted by the transmitter 330.

  The transmitter 330 includes a beacon transmission unit 331 that transmits a beacon signal at regular intervals. The beacon signal transmitted by the beacon transmission unit 331 includes a beacon SSID that is transmitter identification information for identifying the transmitter 330.

  The communication device 310 includes a condition determining unit 323, a display unit 316, a beacon receiving unit 313, and an ID database 322.

  The beacon receiving unit 313 receives the beacon signal transmitted by the transmitter 330 and outputs the beacon SSID included in the beacon signal to the condition determining unit 323. Further, the beacon receiving unit 313 outputs a beacon reception intensity that is a reception intensity of the beacon signal. The ID database 322 is the beacon database described with reference to FIG. The ID database 322 is stored in a predetermined storage area.

  The condition determination unit 323 manages the beacon SSID and beacon reception intensity output from the beacon reception unit 313 for each beacon SSID, and refers to the ID database 322 to determine whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied. In the present embodiment, the predetermined condition is that the beacon reception intensity is increased.

  When the beacon intensity of the same beacon SSID is large, the condition determination unit 323 displays an image indicated by the image data corresponding to the beacon SSID on the display unit 316.

  On the other hand, the condition determination unit 323 does nothing when the beacon reception intensity is not increased.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure in the communication apparatus 310 according to the fifth embodiment.

  In FIG. 16, when the beacon receiving unit 313 receives a beacon signal (YES in step S501), the beacon SSID is acquired from the beacon signal (step S502), and the beacon reception intensity is acquired (step S503). Next, the condition determination unit 323 determines whether or not the beacon strength of the same beacon SSID is large (step S504).

  If the beacon intensity has not increased (NO in step S504), the present process is terminated. On the other hand, when the beacon intensity of the same beacon SSID is large (YES in step S504), an image indicated by the image data corresponding to the beacon SSID with the large beacon intensity is displayed on the display unit 316 ( Step S505), the process is terminated.

  In this way, when the beacon strength is high, it indicates that the user is approaching the guide, so an image corresponding to the guide closer to the user can be displayed, thus providing effective information to the user can do.

  The fifth embodiment described above may be configured to include a server as in the configuration shown in the first embodiment. In this case, the server may execute the process executed by the condition determining unit 323.

  In the above-described embodiment, each system configuration includes a server, and when a plurality of communication devices receive a beacon signal transmitted from the transmitter substantially simultaneously from one transmitter, an image is displayed. You may make it perform the order which performs the process to display in order with the large signal strength of the beacon signal which each communication apparatus received.

  In this case, the server performs management based on the beacon SSID, the terminal ID for identifying the terminal, and the beacon reception intensity.

  In general, a communication device with a higher beacon reception strength is closer to the transmitter, so that the user is displayed an image of a guidance staff wearing the closer transmitter, which is more effective for the user. Information can be provided. Furthermore, since the process of displaying images in order is executed, it is possible to avoid a plurality of users from concentrating on one guide at a time.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating management data for managing the execution order of processing of a communication apparatus that has received a beacon signal transmitted by a transmitter having a beacon SSID of 123456. FIG. 18 illustrates a transmitter having a beacon SSID of 00235. It is a figure which shows the management data for managing the execution order of the process of the communication apparatus which received the beacon signal which transmitted.

  In this way, the order is managed for each transmitter. For example, in FIG. 17, the beacon reception strength S1 of the communication device with the terminal ID A is greater than the beacon reception strength S2 of the communication device with the terminal ID B. B communication devices are executed in this order.

  In this case, the server first transmits the image data to the communication device whose terminal ID is A, and then transmits the image data to the communication device whose terminal ID is B after a certain period of time, whereby the communication of the terminal IDs A and B is performed. Processing for displaying images in the order of devices can be executed. Moreover, the condition determination part in 2nd-4th embodiment acquires the determination result which determined whether predetermined conditions were satisfy | filled using the identification information contained in the received beacon signal from a server. It will be.

  In FIG. 18, the beacon reception strength S3 of the communication device with the terminal ID B is greater than the beacon reception strength S4 of the communication device with the terminal ID A. It will be executed in the order of A.

  In this case, the server first transmits the image data to the communication device whose terminal ID is B, and then transmits the image data to the communication device whose terminal ID is A after a certain period of time, so that the communication of the terminal IDs B and A is performed. Processing for displaying images in the order of devices can be executed.

  In the above-described embodiment, the process of displaying an image is used as an example of the predetermined process. However, for example, in a communication apparatus having an LED, a process of blinking the LED may be executed. . Moreover, in a communication apparatus having a speaker, a process for outputting sound may be executed. In FIGS. 17 and 18, information is displayed in the order of beacon reception strength. However, the data is rearranged in the order of suitability such as hobbies / preferences, troubles / helps, etc., and an image of a guide with a high degree of suitability is displayed. You may make it display.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide effective information to the user. Specifically, in the technology using a conventional beacon, information is provided immediately after receiving a beacon signal. In this embodiment, a beacon signal is received and a predetermined condition is satisfied. Since the restriction of providing information is added, more effective information can be provided by the user.

  You may make it implement | achieve the process of the communication apparatus in embodiment mentioned above with a computer. In that case, a program for realizing this function may be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium, and the program recorded on this recording medium may be read into a computer system and executed. Here, the “computer system” includes an OS and hardware such as peripheral devices. The “computer-readable recording medium” refers to a storage device such as a flexible medium, a magneto-optical disk, a portable medium such as a ROM and a CD-ROM, and a hard disk incorporated in a computer system. Furthermore, the “computer-readable recording medium” dynamically holds a program for a short time like a communication line when transmitting a program via a network such as the Internet or a communication line such as a telephone line. In this case, a volatile memory inside a computer system serving as a server or a client in that case may be included and a program held for a certain period of time. Further, the program may be a program for realizing a part of the above-described functions, and may be a program capable of realizing the functions described above in combination with a program already recorded in a computer system. You may implement | achieve using programmable logic devices, such as FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array).
