Description

  The present invention relates to a charge analysis system and a charge analysis method.

  Although user terminals such as mobile phones and tablets are driven by a battery (storage battery) charged in advance, the battery of the mobile terminal may go out while the user is out due to the long use of the user and the recent advancement of user terminals. A situation occurs where it is rapidly cut.

  Therefore, in external facilities such as restaurants, coffee shops, restaurants, hotels, accommodation facilities, sports facilities, leisure facilities, etc., a service provider (a business person, a service agency company, etc.) can charge the battery of the portable terminal. By installing it, charging services are provided to users for a fee or free of charge, and the convenience of the users and the visit rate of the users are improved.

  The charging service at the external facility is usually charged, and the user can charge his / her portable terminal by making a payment such as cash payment or credit card payment. However, in such a charging service, there is a problem that the service provider has few advantages only by enhancing the user's convenience. Further, there is a problem that the charging service for a user has a sense of price increase and it is difficult for the user to use it casually.

  Therefore, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-114968 (Patent Document 1) discloses a battery charging system and a charging method. In this system, a charging device for charging a battery, code input means for inputting a code for accessing service information provided by a service provider, and the service provider based on the code inputted by the code input means And access means for accessing service information provided by In addition, the charging device starts charging the battery after confirming that the code is input by the code input unit and the access information is accessed by the access unit to the service information provided by the service provider. Means are provided. This has the advantage that the service provider can provide service information to the service user. Also, there is an advantage that the service user can charge the battery free of charge. Therefore, the service provider can bear the charge for charging the battery instead of the service user for the cost of providing the service information to the service user. It will also be possible to charge it.

  Further, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-288940 (Patent Document 2) discloses a two-dimensional code including a charger for providing a charging service to a portable device, and a ticket for permitting charging by the charger under the condition of member registration. And a server for providing the portable device. The charger of this system includes a power supply unit for supplying power, a reading unit for reading a presented two-dimensional code, a ticket data holding unit for holding ticket data related to the ticket, and the read two-dimensional code And a control unit that controls the operation of the power supply unit by comparing the ticket included in the ticket with the ticket data. Thereby, it can be used casually without performing the charging process when providing the charging service.

  However, with the technologies described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 described above, there is a problem that it is not possible to grasp how much the user uses the charging service regardless of whether it is charged or not for providing the charging service. .

  In addition, the charging service can be easily provided by the external facility side simply by installing a commercially available charging device in the external facility, but usually, depending on the type of the external facility, the type of user who visits the external facility (Travelers, foreigners, company employees, etc.) are different, and the rate of use of the charging service is different for each charging device of the external facility. On the other hand, since there is no method for calculating the utilization rate of the charging service, there is a problem that the effectiveness of the charging service for each charging device can not be examined.

  Then, this invention was made in order to solve the said subject, and it aims at providing the charge analysis system and charge analysis method which can grasp | ascertain the utilization factor of the user with respect to a charging device easily. .

  A charge analysis system according to the present invention includes a device ID acquisition unit, a terminal ID acquisition unit, a first association unit, a display control unit, a charge utilization permission unit, a second association unit, and a usage rate calculation unit. And When the user terminal reads a code provided to the charging device and accesses a server specified by the URL corresponding to the code, the device ID acquisition unit accesses the URL accessed by the user terminal or the terminal position information of the user terminal. Based on the device ID of the charging device is acquired. The terminal ID acquisition unit acquires the terminal ID of the user terminal based on the terminal identification number or the cookie ID of the accessed user terminal. The first association unit associates and stores the acquired device ID and the acquired terminal ID in the database. The display control unit causes the user terminal to display an advertisement screen related to an external facility in which the charging device is installed, for a certain period of time by the access of the user terminal. When the user terminal selects a use key for performing use of a charging service via the advertisement screen, the charge utilization permitting unit permits the use of the charging device to the user terminal. The second association unit associates and stores usage information indicating usage of the charging device with the device ID and the terminal ID associated with the database when the usage of the charging device is permitted. The usage rate calculation unit sets the number of terminal IDs in the device ID of the database as the number of access user terminals that have accessed the server, and uses the number of usage information associated with the terminal ID as the usage of the charging service. It is calculated as the number of user terminals, and the ratio of the number of access user terminals to the number of use user terminals is calculated as a usage rate.

  Further, in the charge analysis method of the charge analysis system according to the present invention, the device ID acquisition step, the terminal ID acquisition step, the first association step, the display control step, and the charge utilization are similar to the respective parts of the charge analysis system. And an authorization step, a second association step, and a utilization calculation step.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings for understanding of the present invention. The following embodiment is an example embodying the present invention and is not of the nature to limit the technical scope of the present invention.

  The charge analysis system 1 according to the present invention includes, as shown in FIG. 1, a user terminal 10, a charging device 12 provided in an external facility 11, a network 13 for communication, and a server 14. The user terminal 10 and the server 14 can communicate wirelessly via the network 13.

  The user terminal 10 includes a terminal display unit (output unit) for displaying a screen, a terminal reception unit (input unit) for receiving an input of a predetermined instruction by a user operation, and a code input unit for receiving an input of a code by a camera. A terminal communication unit for wireless communication, a terminal storage unit for storing data, and a terminal control unit for controlling each unit are provided. The user terminal 10 also includes a charge terminal 10 a to which a power supply connector for charging can be attached. For example, a portable terminal device (smart phone) with a touch panel, a tablet type terminal device, a portable notebook computer, and the like.

  The external facility 11 is a restaurant, a coffee shop, a restaurant, a hotel, an accommodation facility, a sports facility, a leisure facility, and the like, and is a place where a user of the user terminal 10 visits and receives a predetermined service. The business owner of the external facility 11 installs the charging device 12 at a predetermined place of the external facility 11 at a place where the user can see, and uses the charging device 12 to charge the user of the user terminal 10 with charging service. provide. The location where the charging device 12 is installed may be inside or outside as long as it is close to the external facility 11.

  The configuration of the charging device 12 is not particularly limited as long as it can charge the user terminal 10. In the case where the charging device 12 charges the user terminal 10 through the power connector, for example, the power plug 12a attached to the outlet of the external facility 11 and the device main unit 12b that controls the supply of power from the power plug 12a. , A power connector 12c for charging that supplies power from the main unit 12b, and a code 12d (two-dimensional code, for example, a QR code (registered trademark)) obtained by encoding a URL (Uniform Resource Locator).

  There are two types of control methods for the power supply of the charging device 12. One is that the charging device 12 is provided with the password input checking unit 12e, and charging is performed based on the propriety of the input password input by the password input checking unit 12e by the user. The device 12 is a method of permitting or denying the power supply. The other is that the router 15 is provided in the external facility 11, the device communication unit 12f is provided in the charging device 12, and the charging device 12 can wirelessly communicate with the server 14 via the device communication unit 12f and the router 15. This is a method of permitting the charging device 12 to supply power based on the charge permission signal transmitted from the server 14 via the router 15.

  The server 14 is a computer or the like that is generally used, and is a server communication unit for wireless and wired communication, a server storage unit that stores data, a server processing unit that performs various processes (apparatus ID acquisition unit, terminal ID An acquisition unit, a first association unit, a display control unit, a charge utilization permission unit, a second association unit, and a usage rate calculation unit). The server 14 exchanges data with the user terminal 10 via the network 13, and transmits data from the router 15 to the charging apparatus 12 via the network 13.

  The router 15 is a relay device (access point) relaying the network 13 to which the server 14 is connected. The user terminal 10 may access the server 14 via the router 15 or may directly access the server 14 via the network 13.

  The user terminal 10, the charging device 12, the server 14, and the router 15 incorporate a CPU, ROM, RAM, HDD, SSD, etc. (not shown), and the CPU uses, for example, the RAM as a work area. Execute programs stored in ROM, HDD, SSD, etc. In addition, also for each unit described later, the CPU executes the program to realize each unit.

  Next, the configuration and execution procedure according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. First, as shown in FIG. 4A, the user who owns the user terminal 10 enters the external facility 11, wants to charge the battery of the user terminal 10, and receives the charging service of the external facility 11 in order to receive the charging service. The power supply connector 12 c of the charging device 12 is attached to the charging terminal 10 a of the user terminal 10. The user does not necessarily have to attach the charging terminal 10a to the power supply connector 12c.

  Next, the user checks the code 12 d of the charging device 12 to set the user terminal 10 in the code reading mode, and displays the scan screen 400 on the terminal display unit of the user terminal 10 as shown in FIG. 4B. Then, when the user operates the code input unit of the user terminal 10 and the camera reads the code 12 d of the charging device 12, as shown in FIG. 4B, the user terminal 10 converts the code 12 d into character information by the code input unit. The conversion is performed, and the scan result screen 401 is displayed on the terminal display unit.

  On the scan result screen 401, a URL 402 corresponding to the code 12d as a link destination, a "open link destination" key 403 for accessing the URL 402, and a cancel key 404 are displayed.

  Here, when the user changes his mind and selects the cancel key 404, the user terminal 10 receives the selection of the cancel key 404 via the terminal receiving unit, erases the scan result screen 401, and accesses the URL 402. It does not execute (FIG. 3: S101 NO).

  On the other hand, when the user confirms the URL 402 and selects the "open link destination" key 403, the user terminal 10 receives the selection of the "open link destination" key 403 via the terminal accepting unit and designates the URL 402. Is accessed via the network 13 (FIG. 3: S101 YES).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 5A, the device ID acquisition unit 201 of the server 14 uses the device ID of the charging device 12 (for example, based on the URL 402 accessed by the user terminal 10 or the terminal position information of the user terminal 10). "Abc") is acquired (FIG. 3: S102).

  Here, the method by which the device ID acquisition unit 201 acquires the device ID is not particularly limited. For example, when the device ID of the charging device 12 is included in the URL 402 corresponding to the code 12 d and the user terminal 10 accesses the server 14 designated by the URL 402 including the device ID, the device ID acquisition unit 201 receives the user terminal 10. The device ID is acquired from the accessed URL 402 of The device ID may be any information that can identify the charging device 12, and may be a combination of characters and numbers.

  As another method, for example, when the user terminal 10 accesses the server 14 designated by the URL 402, the terminal position information of the user terminal 10 may be transmitted to the server 14. The terminal position information is obtained, for example, by a GPS function or a Beacon function provided in advance in the user terminal 10. There is no particular limitation on the configuration in which the user terminal 10 transmits terminal position information. For example, when the "open link destination" key 403 of the scan result screen 401 is selected, the terminal position of the user terminal 10 is displayed as the next screen. A position information transmission screen for prompting transmission of information may be displayed, and the user may be configured to transmit the terminal position information via the operation of the position information transmission screen. In addition, when the user terminal 10 selects the "open link destination" key 403 of the scan result screen 401, the terminal position information is automatically transmitted to the server 14 without displaying the position information transmission screen. I don't care. On the other hand, the device ID acquisition unit 201 has a device position table in which the charging device 12 is installed and device position information of the same type as the type (unit) of the terminal position information is associated with the device ID of the charging device 12 When the terminal position information is received from the user terminal 10, the terminal position information and the device position information of the device table are collated, and the device ID corresponding to the device position information collated with the terminal position information is acquired from the device position table Do. Thus, the device ID acquisition unit 201 can acquire the device ID.

  In this manner, when the user terminal 10 accesses, by acquiring the device ID of the charging device 12, it is specified specifically from which code 12 d of the charging device 12 the user terminal 10 has accessed the server 14 I can do it.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 5A, the terminal ID acquisition unit 202 of the server 14 determines the terminal ID (for example, “a01”) of the user terminal 10 based on the terminal identification number or cookie ID of the accessed user terminal 10. ) Is obtained (FIG. 3: S103).

  Here, the method by which the terminal ID acquisition unit 202 acquires the terminal ID is not particularly limited. For example, when the user terminal 10 accesses the server 14, the terminal ID acquisition unit 202 acquires a terminal identification number from the user terminal 10 as a terminal ID. The terminal identification number may be any number that can identify the user terminal 10, and may be, for example, an IP address, a MAC address, a serial number (utn number), a subscriber number, or the like.

  As another method, for example, when the user terminal 10 accesses the server 14, the terminal ID acquisition unit 202 determines whether or not a cookie ID specific to the server 14 exists in the browser of the user terminal 10. If the cookie ID does not exist, the terminal ID acquisition unit 202 issues a cookie ID, assigns the cookie ID to the browser of the user terminal 10, and acquires the assigned cookie ID as the terminal ID. The cookie ID is identification information for identifying the user terminal 10 that has accessed the server 14. On the other hand, when the browser ID of the user terminal 10 has a cookie ID, the terminal ID acquisition unit 202 acquires the existing cookie ID as a terminal ID. In this case, since the terminal ID acquisition unit 202 acquires the cookie ID as the terminal ID of the user terminal 10 using the mechanism of the cookie, the access ID of the user terminal 10 is also acquired using the cookie ID. You can do it.

  In this manner, when the user terminal 10 accesses, by acquiring the terminal ID of the user terminal 10, it is specifically specified which user terminal 10 accessed the server 14 from the code 12 d of the charging device 12 I can do it.

  Furthermore, the first association unit 203 of the server 14 associates and stores the acquired device ID and the acquired terminal ID in the database (FIG. 3: S104).

  Here, the method by which the first association unit 203 associates and stores the device ID and the terminal ID is not particularly limited. For example, as shown in FIG. 5B, the first association unit 203 refers to the device terminal table 500 as a database, and acquires the acquired device ID 501 (“abc”) in the referred device terminal table 500, and The associated terminal ID 502 ("a01") is associated and stored. Thus, the user terminal 10 can be associated with the charging device 12.

  Then, the display control unit 204 of the server 14 causes the terminal display unit of the user terminal 10 to display the charging service screen corresponding to the URL 402 in response to the access of the user terminal 10 (FIG. 3: S105).

  On the charging service screen 503, as shown in FIG. 5B, a message prompting for charging “Do you charge?” 504, an OK key 505, and a cancel key 506 are displayed.

  When the user changes his mind while looking at the charging service screen 503 and selects the cancel key 506 (FIG. 3: S106 NO), the user terminal 10 receives the selection of the cancel key 506 via the terminal accepting unit, and the charging service The screen 503 is erased (FIG. 3: S107). In this case, since the device ID 501 (“abc”) and the terminal ID 502 (“a01”) are stored in the device terminal table 500 in association with each other, the user terminal 10 accesses the server 14 but does not receive the charging service. It is possible to leave a history of “A”, and the usage rate of the charging device 12 can be calculated based on this information (described later).

  On the other hand, when the user selects the OK key 505 while viewing the charging service screen 503 (FIG. 3: S106 YES), the user terminal 10 accepts the selection of the OK key 505 via the terminal accepting unit, and responds to the OK key 505 Signal to the display control unit 204. When receiving the signal corresponding to the OK key 505, the display control unit 204 next causes the terminal display unit of the user terminal 10 to display an advertisement screen related to the external facility 11 in which the charging device 12 is installed for a certain period of time.

  Here, the method by which the display control unit 204 displays the advertisement screen for a certain period of time is not particularly limited. For example, first, the display control unit 204 causes the terminal display unit of the user terminal 10 to display an advertisement screen (FIG. 3: S108).

  As shown in FIG. 6A, advertisement information 601 and a cancel key 602 are displayed on the advertisement screen 600. The advertisement information 601 is, for example, notification information, discount information, coupon information of the external facility 11 in which the charging device 12 is installed, coupon information, introduction information of a provider of the external facility 11, and the like, explanatory information, and the like. The form of the advertisement information 601 is not particularly limited, and may be a still image or a moving image. In addition to the advertisement information 601, the advertisement screen 600 may include other advertisement information related to other than the external facility 11.

  Here, when the user changes his mind while looking at the advertisement screen 600 and selects the cancel key 602 (FIG. 3: S109 YES), the user terminal 10 receives the selection of the cancel key 602 via the terminal receiving unit, The advertisement screen 600 is deleted (FIG. 3: S107). In this case, since the user can not check the advertisement information 601 sufficiently, the server 14 does not permit the use of the charging service. In addition, since there is a history that the user terminal 10 that has accessed the server 14 has not received the charging service, it is possible to calculate the usage rate of the charging device 12 based on this information (to be described later).

  On the other hand, when the user does not select the cancel key 602 while viewing the advertisement screen 600 (FIG. 3: S109 NO), the display control unit 204 counts the elapsed time from the time of displaying the advertisement screen by the timer unit It is determined whether the counted elapsed time has exceeded a predetermined constant time (FIG. 3: S110).

  If the elapsed time does not exceed the predetermined time (FIG. 3: S110 NO), the display control unit 204 returns to S109 and continues the display of the advertisement screen 600. This allows the user to sufficiently confirm the advertisement information 601.

  On the other hand, when the elapsed time exceeds the predetermined time (FIG. 3: S110 YES), the display control unit 204 erases the cancel key 602 of the advertisement screen 600, and as shown in FIG. A message "use the charging service." 603 for promoting the use of the charging service and a use key 604 for performing the use of the charging service are displayed. As a result, it becomes possible to make the user sufficiently confirm the advertisement information 601, and it becomes possible to inform the user who uses the charging service of the information related to the external facility 11 and to promote the use of the external facility 11 .

  Here, the charging service may be made free by showing the user the advertisement screen 600 for a certain period of time, or a payment screen may be provided before and after the advertising screen 600 to charge the charging service.

  For example, when the display control unit 204 causes the payment screen to be displayed in front of the advertisement screen 600, the display control unit 204 causes the terminal display unit of the user terminal 10 to display the payment screen when a signal corresponding to the OK key 505 of the charging service screen 503 is received. .

  On the payment screen 605, as shown in FIG. 6B, the price 606 of the charging service, a message prompting for payment "Do you settle?" 607, an OK key 608, and a cancel key 609 are displayed.

  When the user selects the OK key 608 while viewing the payment screen 605, the user terminal 10 receives the selection of the OK key 608 via the terminal receiving unit, and shifts from the payment screen 605 to a payment processing screen for performing payment processing. . Thereby, the user can pay the price of the charging service on the payment processing screen.

  Here, the payment processing screen corresponds to, for example, a payment processing screen of a credit card, electronic money, etc., and may be provided by the server 14 or may be provided by another payment specialized server. The payment source is the user of the user terminal 10, and the payment destination is the service provider (a provider of the external facility 11, a service agency company, etc.) that provides the charging service.

  When settlement processing on the settlement processing screen is completed in the user terminal 10, the display control unit 204 causes the terminal display unit of the user terminal 10 to display a settlement completion screen.

  On the payment completion screen 610, as shown in FIG. 6B, a message "charging service can be used." 611 prompting use of the charging service and an OK key 612 are displayed. When the settlement screen 605 is also used as the settlement process screen 610, the OK key 612 may be displayed on the settlement screen 605 after the completion of the settlement process.

  Now, when the user selects the OK key 612 of the payment completion screen 610, the display control unit 204 receives a signal corresponding to the OK key 612, proceeds to S108, and displays an advertisement screen on the terminal display unit of the user terminal 10. (Fig. 3: S108). Thus, the user who has completed the settlement can confirm the advertisement information 601.

  By the way, when the display control unit 204 displays the settlement screen after the advertisement screen 600, when the settlement key is displayed on the advertisement screen 600 at S110 YES and the user selects the settlement key, the display control unit 204 uses the settlement key as the settlement key. The corresponding signal is received, and the above-described settlement screen is displayed on the terminal display unit of the user terminal 10.

  Then, when the user completes the settlement process via the settlement screen, the display control unit 204 causes the settlement completion screen to display a use key for using the charging service. As a result, it is possible to make the user who has confirmed the advertisement information 601 settle.

  When the user selects use key 604 on advertisement screen 600 (or payment completion screen) (FIG. 3: S111 YES), user terminal 10 receives the selection of use key 604 via the terminal accepting unit, and uses key 604 A signal corresponding to is transmitted to the server 14, and the charge utilization permitting unit 205 of the server 14 permits the user terminal 10 to use the charging device 12 (FIG. 3: S112).

  Here, the method by which the charge utilization permitting unit 205 authorizes the use of the charging device 12 is not particularly limited. For example, when the password input check unit 12e is provided in the charging device 12, the charge use permission unit 205 first refers to the terminal ID 502 of the user terminal 10 currently being accessed from the device terminal table 500, The device ID 501 corresponding to the referenced terminal ID 502 is acquired. Next, the charge utilization permitting unit 205 refers to the device password table.

  In the device password table 700, as shown in FIG. 7A, the device ID 701 of the charging device 12 and the setting password 702 that can be checked by the password input checking unit 12e of the charging device 12 are stored in association. The setting password 702 is preferably, for example, a one-time password in order to prevent unauthorized use of the user.

  The charge utilization permitting unit 205 refers to the acquired device ID 701 from the device password table 700, and acquires the setting password 702 corresponding to the referred device ID 701. Then, the charge utilization permitting unit 205 causes the terminal display unit of the user terminal 10 to display a password issuance screen including the acquired setting password 702.

  In the password issuance screen 703, as shown in FIG. 7A, a setting password 704 (for example, “1234”) to be input to the charging device 12 and a message prompting the user to input the password to the charging device 12 Please enter the password]] 705 and the OK key 706 are displayed.

  Here, the user confirms the setting password 704 while looking at the password issuance screen 703, and inputs the displayed password 704 via the password input verification unit 12e of the charging device 12 as shown in FIG. 7B. For example, the user presses the clear key "c" of the password entry verification unit 12e, and then presses the key "1", the key "2", the key "3", the key "4" in order. Do.

  Then, the password input collation part 12e of the charging device 12 receives the input password input from the user. Here, the password input verification unit 12e of the charging device 12 holds the setting password 702 of the device password table 700 corresponding to the device ID 701 of the charging device 12 in a predetermined memory, and the input password and the setting password of the memory Compare with. Then, if the input password matches the setting password, the password input verification unit 12e causes the charging device 12 to perform power supply.

  Specifically, the password input verification unit 12 e inputs a charge permission signal of the power supply to the device body 12 b of the charging device 12. In the apparatus body 12b of the charging apparatus 12, the power connector 12c and the power plug 12a are electrically disconnected in advance through the switch section etc., and the apparatus body 12b is permitted from the password input collating section 12e. When the signal is received, the power connector 12c is electrically connected to the power plug 12a through the switch section etc., and the power from the power plug 12a is supplied to the power connector 12c. Here, if the charging terminal 10a of the user terminal 10 is connected to the power supply connector 12c of the charging device 12, the user terminal 10 can receive the power supply via the power supply connector 12c, so that the user terminal 10 can be charged. It becomes. The device body 12b electrically disconnects the power connector 12c from the power plug 12a after a predetermined time has elapsed or after the date has been changed after the power connector 12c is electrically connected to the power plug 12a. Prevent long-term use or repeated use. In addition, a stop key may be provided in advance in the apparatus body 12b, and the electrical disconnection may be performed by the user pressing the stop key.

  Here, by making the user input a password to the charging device 12, it becomes possible to perform user authentication that the user of the user terminal 10 who has accessed the server 14 is authenticated. In addition, by using the device ID 501, the setting password 702 of the device password table 700 of the server 14 is stored in the memory of the password input comparison unit 12e of the charging device 12 as a setting password. The part 12e does not need to acquire a setting password from the server 14 at the time of user authentication, and wireless communication with the server 14 is unnecessary, and the charging device 12 can be configured inexpensively.

  For example, in the case where the charging device 12 is provided with the LED 12g, for example, when the power connector 12c is electrically connected to the power plug 12a, the LED 12g is turned on using the power flowing through the power connector 12c. , May be configured to indicate that the charging device 12 can be charged.

  On the other hand, when the input password does not match the setting password, the password input verification unit 12e does not operate particularly. In this case, charging of the user terminal 10 is not performed because the power connector 12 c remains in the state of being electrically disconnected to the power plug 12 a. Moreover, lighting of LED12g does not arise, either.

  By the way, as another method, for example, when the device communication unit 12 f is provided in the charging device 12, it is as follows. That is, the charge utilization permitting unit 205 first causes the terminal display unit of the user terminal 10 to display a charge start screen.

  On the charge start screen 800, as shown in FIG. 8A, a message for prompting attachment of the power connector 12c of the charging device 12 to the charging terminal 10a of the user terminal 10 "Install the power connector of the charging device to the charging terminal of the user terminal "OK" 801 and an OK key 802 are displayed.

  Therefore, the user who is still wearing the power connector 12c on the charging terminal 10a mounts the power connector 12c of the charging device 12 on the charging terminal 10a of the user terminal 10 while watching the charging start screen 800.

  Next, the charge utilization permitting unit 205 refers to the terminal ID 502 of the currently accessed user terminal 10 from the device terminal table 500, and acquires the device ID 501 corresponding to the referred terminal ID 502. Next, the charge utilization permitting unit 205 refers to the device communication table.

  In the device communication table 803, as shown in FIG. 8B, the device ID 804 of the charging device 12 and the device communication ID 805 capable of specifying the device communication unit 12f of the charging device 12 on the network 13 are associated and stored. There is. The device communication ID 805 is, for example, information that can identify the device communication unit 12 f of the charging device 12 on the network 13 via the router 15, and may include, for example, an IP address, a MAC address, and the like.

  The charge utilization permitting unit 205 refers to the acquired device ID 804 from the device communication table 803, and acquires a device communication ID 805 corresponding to the referred device ID 804. Then, based on the device communication ID 805, the charge usage permission unit 205 transmits a charge permission signal to the device communication unit 12f of the charging device 12 via the network 13 and the router 15.

  On the other hand, when the device communication unit 12 f of the charging device 12 receives the charge permission signal, the power supply of the charging device 12 is performed. Specifically, as described above, the device communication unit 12 f inputs the device body 12 b of the charging device 12, and the device body 12 b of the charging device 12 receives a charge permission signal from the device communication 12 f. The power supply connector 12c is electrically connected to the power supply plug 12a via the switch unit etc., and the power from the power supply plug 12a is supplied to the power supply connector 12c. As a result, the user can automatically charge the user terminal 10 with the charging device 12 to which the user terminal 10 is connected being automatically chargeable, without doing anything. The electrical disconnection of the power connector 12c to the power plug 12a is the same as described above.

  By the way, when the charge utilization permitting unit 205 permits the use of the charging device 12, the second association unit 206 of the server 14 uses the device ID and the terminal ID associated with the database to indicate the use of the charging device. Are associated and stored (FIG. 3: S113).

  Here, the method by which the second association unit 206 associates and stores the usage information is not particularly limited. For example, as shown in FIG. 9A, the second association unit 206 uses the device terminal table 500 as a database, the device ID 501 (“abc”) associated earlier, and the terminal ID 502 of the user terminal 10 that has accessed the server 14 With reference to “a01”, the device ID 501 and the terminal ID 502 are associated with the use information 900 (eg, “use”) and stored. The associated device ID 501 is the device ID of the charging device 12 currently permitted to be charged, and the associated terminal ID 502 is the terminal ID of the user terminal 10 that has accessed the server 14 earlier. Thereby, the user terminal 10 using the charging device 12 can be associated with the charging device 12.

  Then, the usage rate calculation unit 207 of the server 14 sets the number of terminal IDs in the device ID of the database as the number of access user terminals that have accessed the server 14, and the number of usage information associated with the terminal ID The number of access user terminals using the charging service is calculated, and the ratio of the number of access user terminals to the number of access user terminals is calculated as a utilization rate (FIG. 3: S114).

  Here, the method of calculating the utilization by the utilization calculation unit 207 is not particularly limited. For example, as shown in FIG. 9A, the usage rate calculation unit 207 first refers to the device terminal table 500 as a database, and first calculates the number of terminal IDs 502 (here, “1”) as the number of access user terminals. . Next, the usage rate calculation unit 207 calculates the number of usage information 800 (here, “1”) associated with the terminal ID 502 in the device terminal table 500 as the number of usage user terminals. At present, the user terminal 10 of one user accesses the server 14 and uses the charging service, so the number of access user terminals becomes “1” and the number of use user terminals becomes “1”. Then, the usage rate calculation unit 207 calculates, as the usage rate, a ratio (here, “100%” in unit of percentage) obtained by dividing the number of user terminals using the number of access user terminals. As a result, it is possible to easily calculate the utilization rate of the user terminal 10 that actually uses the charging device 12 among the user terminals 10 that have accessed the server 14. And the effectiveness of charge service can be judged from the height of the utilization factor calculated.

  In particular, in the embodiment of the present invention, the advertisement screen 600 is displayed on the user terminal 10 for a certain period of time, and then the charging service is used by the user terminal 10. Affects the utilization rate. Therefore, high and low utilization rates make it possible to review and improve the advertisement information 601, which is extremely useful for selecting advertisement information 601 that is attractive to the user.

  By the way, although the user terminal 10 accesses the server 14 to receive the charging service in S107, even if the user terminal 10 does not receive the charging service, its history remains in the database. Therefore, in S114, the usage rate calculation unit 207 performs the same process to calculate the usage rate, but in this case, the usage information 900 exists for the device ID 501 and the terminal ID 502 of the device terminal table 500 as a database. do not do. Then, since the user terminal 10 of one user accessed the server 14 and did not use the charging service, the number of access user terminals is “1”, but the number of use user terminals is “0”, The utilization rate will be "0%". Even in this case, it is possible to easily calculate the utilization rate of the user terminal 10 that actually uses the charging device 12.

  Thus, when the user accesses the server 14 at the user terminal 10 to receive the charging service, the terminal ID is linked to the device ID of the charging device 12 in the database, and the user displays the advertisement for a certain period of time When the charging service is received via the screen, the usage information is linked to the linked terminal ID. Then, when the user finishes the charging service and leaves the charging device 12 and a new user comes and approaches the charging device 12 and accesses the server 14 at the user terminal 10 to receive the charging service, S101 is performed again. The process returns to step S114. By repeating such processing, a plurality of terminal IDs are associated with the device ID of the charging device 12 in the database, and through the advertisement screen, the terminal ID of the user terminal 10 that has received the charging service The usage information is linked. As a result, it is possible to accumulate the usage history of the charging service of the plurality of user terminals 10 for the specific charging device 12 in the database.

  For example, each of the four user terminals 10 accesses the server 14 on different days (or time zones) to receive the charging service, and through the advertisement screen, the first and last user terminals 10 use the charging service In this case, as shown in FIG. 9B, of the four terminal IDs 502 associated with a specific charge ID 501 in the device terminal table 500, which is a database, the first and last terminal IDs 502 are strings of usage information 900. Will be attached. In this case, the usage rate calculation unit 207 calculates the number of access user terminals as “4”, calculates the number of use user terminals as “2”, and calculates the usage rate as “50%”. .

  By knowing the utilization rate of the charging device 12 by the plurality of user terminals 10, as described above, in addition to the quality of the contents of the advertisement screen 600, the price of the charging device 12 up to the use of the charging service It is possible to review and improve the charging service such as the goodness or badness of the installation location, and to optimize the charging service. In addition, it is possible to consider the influence on the visit rate of the user to the external facility 11 from the high and low of the utilization rate, and to propose the charging service for carrying out the lock of the user who holds the user terminal 10.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, the device terminal table 500, which is a database, is provided with the device ID 501, the terminal ID 502, and the usage information 900 which are the minimum necessary items, but other items may be used as appropriate. It may be possible to analyze the utilization from various points of view by adding For example, as shown in FIG. 10A, the device terminal table 500 is provided with an item of date and time information 1000, and the date and time information 1000 stores the date and time when the user terminal 10 accessed the server 14. The acquisition of the date and time information 1000 is performed, for example, by the terminal ID acquisition unit 202 acquiring the current date and time from a predetermined clock unit provided in advance in the server 14 along with the acquisition of the terminal ID. When the utilization factor calculation unit 207 calculates the utilization factor by adding the date and time information 1000 to the device terminal table 500, based on the date and time information 1000 of the device terminal table 500, the terminal ID 502 and the utilization information 900 are For example, the usage rate on a specific day is calculated based on the classified terminal ID 502 and usage information 900 classified and classified by day. Further, the usage rate calculation unit 207 classifies the terminal ID 502 and the usage information 900 for each time zone, and calculates the usage rate in a specific time zone based on the classified terminal ID 502 and the usage information 900. The classification target may be week, month, or year besides day or time zone. The time zone is appropriately set by the business operator or the like, for example, from 9 am to 10 am. As a result, it is possible to analyze the utilization rate in detail based on the date and time, and to use it to improve the charging service.

  Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, although in the device terminal table 500 which is a database, storage of the terminal ID 502 and the usage information 900 for a specific device ID 501 is performed, a plurality of charges installed in the external facilities 11 at various places. The utilization rate of each of the devices 12 may be calculated, and the utilization rate of each charging device 12 may be analyzed from various points of view. For example, as shown in FIG. 10B, the charging device 12 with the device ID 501 of “abc” is installed in the first place, and the charging device 12 with the device ID 501 of “def” is installed in the second place. The use history of the user terminal 10 using the charging service in the charging device 12 of each location is collected. Then, the usage rate calculation unit 207 classifies the terminal ID 502 and the usage information 900 for each device ID 501 based on the device ID 501 of the device terminal table 500, and sorts the device ID 501 and the usage information 900 based on the device. The usage rate for each ID 501 is calculated. As a result, the utilization rate can be analyzed in detail based on the location (external facility 11) where the charging device 12 is installed, and it can be used to improve the charging service.

  Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the wired charging mode in which the user terminal 10 and the charging device 12 are connected by wire and charged is not particularly limited. For example, the user terminal 10 and the charging may be charged. The apparatus 12 may be in the form of wireless charging in which wireless charging is performed based on electromagnetic induction or the like. In that case, for example, the charge terminal 10a of the user terminal 10 is a power reception unit for wireless charging, and the power supply connector 12c of the charging device 12 is a power transmission unit for wireless charging.

  Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the charge analysis system 1 is configured to include each unit, but a program for realizing the each unit may be stored in a storage medium, and the storage medium may be provided. In the configuration, the apparatus causes the apparatus to read the program, and the apparatus implements the respective units. In that case, the program itself read from the recording medium exerts the effects of the present invention. Furthermore, it is also possible to provide as a method of storing the steps executed by each unit on a hard disk.
