The information based on the user's operation includes, for example, a content, a passcode, a user ID, and the like, as will be described later.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a procedure for processing a request from a terminal device in the server device of the embodiment.

First, the control unit 43 distributes the passcode to be displayed on the signage terminal 10 to the signage terminal 10 based on the identification information of the signage terminal 10 (S10). The signage terminal 10 at this stage may be controlled to a control state in which the content is not displayed, or may be controlled to a control state in which content other than the content specified by the following processing is displayed.
Next, the control unit 43 determines whether or not there is a login request (S20).

If there is a login request based on the determination in S20, the control unit 43 distributes the login screen to the terminal device 30 (S24).
Next, the control unit 43 acquires the passcode and the identification information from the terminal device 30 (S26).
Next, the control unit 43 performs collation based on either or both of the identification information and the passcode, and determines whether or not the collation is successful (S28).

If the collation is successful according to the determination in S28, the control unit 43 selects a menu screen for allowing the user to select the target process from one or a plurality of processes based on the identification information (S30). ).
Next, the control unit 43 distributes the selected menu screen to the terminal device 30 (S32).
Next, the control unit 43 acquires the menu selection result from the terminal device 30 (S34).
Next, the control unit 43 executes the selected process based on the selection result of the menu (S40), and ends the series of processes shown in this figure.

If the collation is not successful according to the determination in S28, the control unit 43 ends a series of processes shown in this figure.

If there is no login request based on the determination in S20, the control unit 43 determines the duration of the state without the login request (S22), and sets the duration since the previous detection of the login request to a predetermined value. The determination of S20 is repeated until the excess state (time-out state) is reached. When the time-out state is reached, the control unit 43 ends a series of processes shown in this figure.

FIG. 4A is a diagram showing a procedure until the terminal device 30 of the embodiment communicates with the server device 40. FIG. 4B is a diagram for explaining an operation until the terminal device 30 of the embodiment communicates with the server device 40. The figures shown in FIGS. 4B (a) to 4 (d) are examples of screens displayed on the terminal device 30.

The beacon 20 transmits information storage position information for identifying the communication destination of the terminal device 30 at a predetermined cycle independently of the processing of the server device 40 described later (B2, B4, B6, etc.). ..

The server device 40 adds the content and the passcode to be distributed to the signage terminal 10 to the display content in advance. The server device 40 may deliver the content and the passcode under the initiative of the server device 40 (PUSH type) or the signage terminal 10 (PULL type). Hereinafter, an example of the PUSH type will be described.

For example, the server device 40 distributes the passcode to the signage terminal 10 (S10).

Next, when the user U carrying the terminal device 30 approaches the signage terminal 10, the terminal device 30 receives the information storage position information (URI) transmitted by the beacon 20 (B4). The terminal device 30 displays the image 310 on its display unit to indicate that the URI has been received (FIG. 4B (a)).

The user U confirms the display that the URI has been received, operates the activation request of the browsing software such as a browser, and causes the terminal device 30 to execute the browsing software. The terminal device 30 uses the URI as information for designating the communication destination, and requests the server device 40 for login screen data.

The server device 40 receives the above request (S20) and transmits the login screen data to the terminal device 30 (S24). The terminal device 30 acquires login screen data from the server device 40 and displays an image 320 showing the login screen (FIG. 4B (b)).

Here, the user U inputs the pre-allocated identification information into the identification information field (ID field) of the login screen shown in FIG. 4B (b). The user U confirms the passcode displayed on the signage terminal 10 and inputs it into the passcode field (PW field) of the login screen. The terminal device 30 notifies the server device 40 of the input identification information and the passcode.

The server device 40 receives the identification information and the passcode notified from the terminal device 30 (S26), and collates them based on either or both of the identification information and the passcode (S28).

When the collation is successful, the server device 40 selects, based on the identification information, a menu screen for the user to select one or a plurality of processes corresponding to the provided service as the target process for the user U. It is selected (S30), and the data of the selected menu display screen is distributed to the terminal device 30 (S32).

The terminal device 30 displays an image 330 (FIG. 4B (c1)) or an image 340 (FIG. 4B (c2)) including a menu for the user U to select as a menu display screen. The user U confirms the menu and selects one of the menus from the menu display screen on the terminal device 30. The terminal device 30 notifies the server device 40 of this.

Next, the server device 40 acquires the menu selection result from the terminal device 30 (S34), and performs the following processing selected based on the menu selection result (S40).

Hereinafter, some application examples will be described.

[Scenario 1]
First, a case where the content displayed on the signage terminal 10 is stored for later use by a specific user U will be described.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for storing (storing) the contents of the embodiment in the terminal device 30. The control unit 43 performs the following processing based on the selection result of the menu in S34 as the processing for requesting the storage of the content. The following processing is an example of a case where the content is stored (stored) in the terminal device 30.

First, the control unit 43 clips the content distributed for display on the signage terminal 10, that is, the content being distributed by the signage terminal 10 (SA42). For example, the content being distributed by the signage terminal 10 may be stored in the storage unit 42 or the like as distribution history information regarding the content instructed to be distributed by the server device 40 to the signage terminal 10.

Next, the control unit 43 extracts the content to be distributed to the terminal device 30 by using the label information, the distribution time information, and the like corresponding to the clipped content as keys based on the identification information acquired from the terminal device 30. (SA44). The details of the label information and the delivery time information will be described later.

Next, the control unit 43 stores the extracted content in a predetermined storage area (SA46) to enable distribution to the terminal device 30 as clipped content, and completes a series of processes shown in this figure. .. The clipped content may be the content itself distributed for display on the signage terminal 10, or may be converted from the content distributed for display on the signage terminal 10. For example, if the content is distributed as moving image information, the resolution may be adjusted (converted) to a resolution suitable for use in the terminal device 30, and the information is thinned out in the time axis direction. It may be converted into a still image. As the image coding method, various generally known methods can be selected. The control unit 43 may generate information about the content as including data such as a specific image and data described in html (HyperText Markup Language) or the like corresponding to the data such as the image. By managing the information related to the content in the above format, it is possible to use it as a single image information as well as to browse it by using browsing software such as a browser.

The above "clip" means, for example, to select the content due to the action of the user U so that the content can be used at a time or place different from the time or place where the content is delivered. It is the act of. When the control unit 43 detects that this "clip" action has been performed, the signage terminal 10 selects the content being distributed and causes the signage terminal 10 to hold information about the content in a predetermined storage unit.

Further, the above-mentioned "predetermined storage unit" may be, for example, a storage unit included in the terminal device 30, or a storage unit of an external storage medium such as an IC card or a USB memory mounted on the terminal device 30. Alternatively, it may be a storage unit placed in a cloud environment to which the user U has a usage right. As described above, the storage area for storing information about the content is not limited to the storage unit on the terminal device 30 side, and may be a storage area such as the storage unit 42 included in the server device 40. As described above, as the above-mentioned "predetermined storage area", it is preferable to secure a storage area that can be easily used with the authority of the user U. In this case, it is possible to easily secure a storage area having a capacity that satisfies the required storage capacity. By operating the terminal device 30, the user U can browse the information about the content written in the above-mentioned "predetermined storage area" within the range of the prepared storage capacity.
For example, the above content may be a file of data of materials scheduled to be distributed. The label information may include identification information for identifying the file. The content may be extracted by using the identification information included in the label information.

Further, the "delivery time information" is based on, for example, a time managed by the server device 40, such as a time when the server device 40 sends the content to the signage terminal 10 and a time when the signage terminal 10 is instructed to deliver the content. It may be information.
Alternatively, the "delivery time information" may be, for example, information based on the time managed by the signage terminal 10.
