In addition, in the product identifier and shopping memo transmission request, in order to be able to identify the shopping memo to which the product identifier is added and the shopping memo to be requested to be transmitted, the user identifier corresponding to them can be specified. It is preferable to be received. Therefore, for example, the product identifier and the shopping memo transmission request may be received at the same time as the user identifier, or may be received while the user is logged in.

The receiving unit 12 may receive purchased product information including the user identifier and the product identifier of the product purchased by the user identified by the user identifier from the store terminal device 3. This purchased product information is, for example, a product acquired by using a user identifier presented by the user when the user purchases the product at the store cashier and a barcode read from the product in the purchase procedure of the product. It may be information including an identifier. From this purchased product information, it is possible to know which product the user has purchased. The received purchased product information may be stored in the storage unit 11.

The receiving unit 12 may or may not include a wired or wireless receiving device (for example, a modem, a network card, etc.) for performing reception. Further, the receiving unit 12 may be realized by hardware, or may be realized by software such as a driver that drives the receiving device.

When the code identifier is received by the receiving unit 12, the specifying unit 13 specifies a plurality of product identifiers associated with the received code identifier by the product correspondence information. For example, the identification unit 13 may search the product correspondence information using the received code identifier as a search key, and specify all the product identifiers associated with the hit code identifier. The product identifier may be specified, for example, by accumulating the product identifier of the specific target in a recording medium (not shown), or by adding information indicating the identification such as a flag to the product identifier of the specific target. You may be broken.

The transmission unit 14 transmits a product list including the product identifier specified by the specific unit 13 to the user terminal device 2. The user terminal device 2 that is the transmission destination of the product list may be, for example, the user terminal device 2 that is the transmission source of the code identifier. The product list may be information including a product identifier, or the product identifier and information for displaying the product identifier on the user terminal device 2 (for example, information described by a markup language such as HTML). The information may include and. The same may be applied when other information is transmitted to the user terminal device 2. Further, the product list may include, for example, image data of the product together with the product identifier.

When the code identifier is received by the receiving unit 12, the transmitting unit 14 transmits to the user terminal device 2 browsing information indicating that the leaflet displaying the code identified by the code identifier has been viewed. good. When the browsing information is output by the user terminal device 2, it is preferable that it is possible to know which leaflet was browsed. Therefore, the browsing information may include, for example, information that can identify the leaflet on which the code identified by the received code identifier is displayed. The information that can identify the leaflet may be, for example, the code identifier of the code displayed on the leaflet, the store name corresponding to the leaflet, and the advertising period of the leaflet, and the leaflet can be identified. Other information may be used. The code identifier included in the browsing information may be image data of a code indicating the code identifier. The browsing information may be, for example, a coupon or a discount coupon. This browsing information may be acquired by, for example, the transmission unit 14. The browsing information may be transmitted, for example, when the code identifier is received, or may be transmitted after the code identifier is received and when the browsing information transmission request is received from the user terminal device 2. In the latter case, the receiving unit 12 may also receive a request for transmitting browsing information. The browsing information may be, for example, information displayed on the user terminal device 2 or information transmitted by wireless communication such as short-range wireless communication.

When the product detail information transmission request is received by the reception unit 12, the transmission unit 14 transmits the product detail information requested to be transmitted by the product detail information transmission request to the user terminal device 2. For example, when the product detail information transmission request includes the product identifier of the product for which transmission is requested, the transmission unit 14 uses the product correspondence information to specify the product detail information corresponding to the product identifier. The specified product detailed information may be transmitted to the user terminal device 2. When the code identifier is also included in the product detailed information transmission request, the transmission unit 14 may specify the product detailed information by using the code identifier and the product identifier. The user terminal device 2 that is the transmission destination of the detailed product information may be, for example, the user terminal device 2 that is the transmission source of the product detailed information transmission request.

When the receiving unit 12 receives the user identifier and the shopping memo transmission request, the transmitting unit 14 may transmit the shopping memo corresponding to the user identifier to the user terminal device 2. The shopping memo corresponding to the user identifier may be a shopping memo associated with the user identifier by the user shopping memo information. The shopping memo sent usually contains a product identifier. The user terminal device 2 that is the destination of the shopping memo may be, for example, the user terminal device 2 that is the source of the shopping memo transmission request. The user identifier and the shopping memo transmission request may be received at the same time, or may be received at different timings, for example. Even in the latter case, it is preferable to know the correspondence between the two. For example, when a shopping memo transmission request is received while the user is logged in, it can be determined that the user identifier of the logged-in user and the shopping memo transmission request correspond to each other. In this case, the user identifier received from the user terminal device 2 when the user logs in may be the user identifier corresponding to the shopping memo transmission request. It is assumed that the same applies when the user identifier and other information are received by the receiving unit 12.

The transmission unit 14 may transmit the purchase schedule information described later to the store terminal device 3. The store terminal device 3 to which the purchase schedule information regarding the product posted on a leaflet is transmitted is the store terminal device 3 of the store that advertised by the leaflet. For example, in the storage unit 11, the code identifier and the address of the store terminal device 3 of the store that advertised by the leaflet on which the code identified by the code identifier is displayed may be stored in association with each other. Then, the transmission unit 14 may, for example, transmit the purchase schedule information about the product posted on a leaflet to the address corresponding to the code identifier of the code displayed on the leaflet. The purchase schedule information may be transmitted, for example, at regular or indefinite time intervals, or is transmitted in response to a transmission request for purchase schedule information transmitted from the store terminal device 3 received by the receiving unit 12. May be done.

In addition, the transmission unit 14 may transmit unpurchased product information described later. The destination of the unpurchased product information may be, for example, the store terminal device 3, the user terminal device 2, or both. The store terminal device 3 to which the unpurchased product information is transmitted may be, for example, the store terminal device 3 which is the source of the purchased product information. Further, the user terminal device 2 to which the unpurchased product information is transmitted may be, for example, the user terminal device 2 of the user identified by the user identifier included in the purchased product information. In this case, for example, in the storage unit 11, the user identifier and the address of the user terminal device 2 of the user identified by the user identifier may be stored in association with each other. Then, the transmission unit 14 may transmit the unpurchased product information acquired by using the purchased product information to the address corresponding to the user identifier included in the purchased product information.

The transmission unit 14 may or may not include a transmission device (for example, a modem, a network card, etc.) for performing transmission. Further, the transmission unit 14 may be realized by hardware, or may be realized by software such as a driver for driving a transmission device.

The storage unit 15 stores the reception history related to the code identifier and the product detailed information transmission request in the storage unit 11. The reception history may be, for example, information including the date when the code identifier or the product detailed information transmission request is received, the received code identifier, or the product identifier included in the product detailed information transmission request. When the product detailed information transmission request also includes the code identifier, the code identifier may be included in the reception history. In addition, the reception history may include the reception time as well as the date. The storage unit 15 may acquire the date and time from, for example, a calendar unit or a clock unit (not shown). Further, the reception history may also include, for example, a code identifier or a user identifier of the user who has transmitted the product detailed information transmission request. Further, it is preferable that the reception history usually shows the corresponding code identifier. That is, it is preferable that the reception history corresponding to a certain leaflet can be specified.

The analysis unit 16 analyzes the effect of the leaflet based on the reception history accumulated in the storage unit 11 by the storage unit 15. The analysis of the effect of the leaflet may be, for example, an analysis of the number of views for each leaflet, an analysis of the number of views for each detailed product information, and the like. This analysis may be performed using, for example, the number of paper leaflets distributed and the number of times the code identifier of the code displayed on the leaflet is received. Specifically, the number of views of the leaflet may be acquired, or the product that has received particular attention in the leaflet may be specified. Usually, it is considered that there is a positive correlation between the number of times a paper leaflet is viewed and the number of times the server device 1 receives the code identifier of the code displayed on the leaflet. Therefore, the analysis unit 16 may predict the number of times the leaflets on the paper medium are viewed by using, for example, the number of times the leaflets on the paper medium are received, and divide the number of times the leaflets on the paper medium are received by the number of times the leaflets on the paper medium are distributed. The number of leaflets viewed may be predicted among the leaflets distributed by, and the value obtained by dividing the number of times the code identifier is received by the number of distributed leaflets on paper media is compared for each leaflet. You may specify a leaflet with a high viewing rate. In addition, for a certain leaflet, the product detailed information of which product is viewed more than other product detailed information by dividing the number of times the product detailed information transmission request for each product identifier is received by the number of times the code identifier is received. It is also possible to specify whether or not. The number of times the code identifier is received, the number of times the product detailed information transmission request is received, and the like can be obtained by using the reception history accumulated by the storage unit 15. Further, the number of receptions thereof may be, for example, a total number of receptions or a unique number of receptions. In the latter case, for example, even if the reception history includes the user identifier and the same user has received two or more times, the number of receptions may be acquired by counting it as one time. .. Further, when the reception history includes the date and time, the analysis unit 16 may perform the analysis using the date and the like. Specifically, the analysis may be performed using only the reception history of the period corresponding to the leaflet, or the analysis may be performed for each predetermined period (for example, daily or weekly). The analysis result by the analysis unit 16 may be output by an output unit (not shown). The output may be, for example, display, printing, transmission, or the like.

When the user identifier and the product identifier are received by the receiving unit 12, the creating unit 17 adds the received product identifier to the shopping memo associated with the user identifier in the storage unit 11. When the quantity is also received together with the product identifier, the creation unit 17 may add the quantity to the shopping memo in association with the product identifier. In this way, the shopping memo is created by the creation unit 17 adding the product identifier to the shopping memo. The product identifier included in the shopping memo is usually preferably the product name.

The purchase schedule acquisition unit 18 acquires purchase schedule information that associates a product identifier with the number of product identifiers from a plurality of shopping memos. This purchase schedule information can also be considered as the result of merging the contents of shopping memos of a plurality of users. The purchase schedule acquisition unit 18 merges a plurality of shopping memos corresponding to a certain store stored in the storage unit 11, and counts the number of each product identifier included in the merged information, for example. The purchase schedule information that associates the product identifier with the number of the product identifiers may be acquired. If the shopping memo includes the quantity as well as the product identifier, the purchase schedule acquisition unit 18 counts the number of product identifiers included in the merged information, and the quantity corresponding to the product identifier. May be counted in consideration of. That is, when counting a certain product identifier, the purchase schedule acquisition unit 18 may add the number of items corresponding to the product identifier instead of simply adding one. In this way, it becomes possible to know the total number of items added to the shopping memo for each item. By transmitting this purchase schedule information to the store terminal device 3, the store employee can predict how much the product posted on the leaflet will sell. For example, if the number of items corresponding to a certain product identifier in the purchase schedule information exceeds the number of items in the store inventory of the item identified by the item identifier, the employee of the store receives the item immediately. By arranging so, it may be possible to avoid the situation where the product is sold out. When the shopping memo is stored for each code identifier or each store, the purchase schedule acquisition unit 18 may acquire the purchase schedule information for each code identifier or each store. Then, the purchase schedule information may be transmitted to the store corresponding to the code identifier or the store corresponding to the shopping memo used for acquiring the purchase schedule information.

Further, the purchase schedule information may be acquired using, for example, all the shopping memos stored in the storage unit 11, or may be acquired using some of the shopping memos. As described above, since the purchase schedule information is used to secure inventory in the store, the purchase schedule information should not be used for acquiring the purchase schedule information after the shopping according to the shopping memo is performed. Is preferable. Therefore, for example, a shopping memo of a certain user corresponding to a certain code identifier can acquire the purchase schedule information after receiving the purchased product information about the user from the store terminal device 3 of the store corresponding to the code identifier. It does not have to be used. Further, for example, the shopping memo transmitted in response to the reception of the shopping memo transmission request may not be used for acquiring the purchase schedule information after the transmission. This is because it is highly likely that the product will be purchased using the shopping memo after the transmission.

When the purchased product information is received by the receiving unit 12, the unpurchased product acquisition unit 19 is included in the shopping memo associated with the user identifier included in the purchased product information, and is included in the purchased product information. Acquire unpurchased product information including product identifiers that are not included. The product identifier included in the unpurchased product information is a product identifier that identifies a product that has not been purchased among the product identifiers added by the user to the shopping memo. Therefore, the product identified by the product identifier included in the unpurchased product information may be a product that the user has forgotten to buy. Therefore, as described above, this unpurchased product information is used in the user terminal device 2 or the user terminal device 2. By being transmitted to the store terminal device 3 and being output in those devices, it is possible to alert the user regarding forgetting to buy the product. When the unpurchased product information is transmitted to the user terminal device 2, for example, the user terminal device 2 of the user identified by the user identifier included in the purchased product information used to acquire the unpurchased product information. May be sent to. Further, when the unpurchased product information is transmitted to the store terminal device 3, for example, it may be transmitted together with the user identifier included in the purchased product information used for acquiring the unpurchased product information. .. This is to make it possible to understand the correspondence between the unpurchased product information and the user in the store terminal device 3. If the shopping memo corresponding to the user identifier included in the purchased product information does not exist, for example, the unpurchased product acquisition unit 19 does not have to acquire the unpurchased product information. As a result, the unpurchased product information does not have to be transmitted. Further, when the product identifier included in the purchased product information includes all the product identifiers included in the shopping memo corresponding to the user identifier included in the purchased product information, the unpurchased product acquisition unit 19 may, for example, , Null unpurchased product information may be acquired, or unpurchased product information may not be acquired. Further, in the former case, null unpurchased product information may or may not be transmitted. Further, for example, the shopping memo used for acquiring the unpurchased product information may be deleted from the storage unit 11.

Next, the operation of the server device 1 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 3A and 3B.

(Step S117) The transmission unit 14 transmits the acquired unpurchased product information. Then, the process returns to step S101. In addition, for example, when the unpurchased product information is not acquired or when the null unpurchased product information is acquired, the unpurchased product information may not be transmitted.

(Step S118) The analysis unit 16 determines whether or not to analyze the effect of the leaflet. Then, in the case of analysis, the process proceeds to step S119, and if not, the process returns to step S101. The analysis unit 16 may, for example, periodically determine that the analysis is to be performed, or may determine that the analysis is to be performed when the instruction to perform the analysis is received.

(Step S119) The analysis unit 16 analyzes the effect of the leaflet using the reception history accumulated by the storage unit 15. The analysis result may be stored in the storage unit 11 or may be output, for example. Then, the process returns to step S101.

The order of processing in the flowcharts of FIGS. 3A and 3B is an example, and the order of each step may be changed as long as the same result can be obtained. Further, in the flowcharts of FIGS. 3A and 3B, the processing is terminated by an interrupt of power off or processing termination.

Next, the operation of the information communication system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to specific examples. In this specific example, the user identified by the user identifier "U001" (hereinafter, may also be referred to as "user U001") uses the code 5a displayed on the leaflet 5 shown in FIG. 4 as a smartphone. It is assumed that the URL corresponding to the code 5a is acquired by taking a picture with the user terminal device 2, and the code identifier "C001" of the code 5a is transmitted to the server device 1 by accessing the URL. The code identifier transmitted in this way is received by the receiving unit 12 and passed to the specific unit 13, the transmitting unit 14, and the accumulating unit 15 (step S101).

In this specific example, it is assumed that the storage unit 11 stores the product correspondence information shown in FIG. The product correspondence information of FIG. 5 includes a code identifier and product information corresponding to the code identifier. In addition, the product information includes a product identifier, a product image which is image data of a product identified by the product identifier, and detailed product information which is detailed information of the product identified by the product identifier. The product identifier is the name of the product, and the detailed product information includes the price, calorific value, and allergen of the product. The allergen is information indicating what is contained in the product among the seven items which are the specific raw materials. For example, the code identifier "C001" is associated with product information such as the product identifiers "ABC banana" and "BBB cone" of the product posted on the leaflet 5 on which the code 5a identified by the code identifier is displayed. Has been done. The product image may be included in the detailed product information.

Upon receiving the received code identifier "C001", the identification unit 13 searches for product correspondence information using the code identifier as a search key, identifies and transmits all product identifiers associated with the hit code identifier. It is passed to the unit 14 (step S102). Further, upon receiving the received code identifier, the transmission unit 14 acquires browsing information indicating that the leaflet 5 on which the code 5a identified by the code identifier "C001" is displayed has been browsed. It is assumed that the browsing information includes the code identifier "C001" and the image data of the code obtained by converting the code identifier into a two-dimensional code. Further, when a plurality of product identifiers are received from the specific unit 13, the transmission unit 14 corresponds to the product list including the received plurality of product identifiers and the code identifier "C001" with the address of the transmission source of the code identifier as the transmission destination. The browsing information to be used is transmitted (step S103). The transmitted product list and browsing information are received by the user terminal device 2 of the user U001, each product identifier included in the product list is displayed as shown in FIG. 6A, and the browsing information is displayed on the user terminal device. It is memorized by 2. In FIG. 6A, a "details" button for requesting transmission of detailed product information and a "register" button for registering in the shopping cart are displayed in association with each product identifier.

When the received code identifier "C001" is received, the storage unit 15 acquires the date and time at that time, and stores the reception history including the date and time and the code identifier in the storage unit 11. Accumulates in (step S104).

Next, when the user U001 taps the "details" button corresponding to the product identifier "ABC banana" in the display of the user terminal device 2 shown in FIG. 6A, the product identifier "ABC banana" and the code identifier of the code 5a are displayed. A product detailed information transmission request including "C001" is transmitted to the server device 1. The product detailed information transmission request is received by the receiving unit 12, and the code identifier and the product identifier included in the product detailed information are passed to the transmitting unit 14 and the storage unit 15 (step S105).

Upon receiving the code identifier and the product identifier, the transmission unit 14 searches for product correspondence information using the received code identifier as a search key, and searches for the received product identifier as a search key in the product information corresponding to the hit code identifier. This is performed, the product image and the product detailed information associated with the hit product identifier are acquired, and these are transmitted to the user terminal device 2 of the transmission source of the product detailed information transmission request (step S106). The transmitted product image and detailed product information are received by the user terminal device 2 and displayed as shown in FIG. 6B. By this display, the user U001 can know the detailed information of the product.

Upon receiving the received code identifier and product identifier, the storage unit 15 acquires the date and time at that time, and obtains the reception history including the date and time and the code identifier and product identifier. It accumulates in the storage unit 11 (step S107). As a result, the storage unit 11 stores the reception history shown in FIG. 7. In FIG. 7, the reception history includes the date on which the code identifier and the like were received, the received code identifier, and the information included in the product detailed information transmission request.

After that, when the user U001 taps the "shopping memo registration" button in the display shown in FIG. 6B of the user terminal device 2, the product identifier "ABC banana" and the user identifier "U001" stored in advance are displayed. It is transmitted to the server device 1. The product identifier and the like are received by the receiving unit 12 and passed to the creating unit 17 (step S108). Then, the creating unit 17 searches the user shopping memo information stored in the storage unit 11 using the received user identifier "U001" as a search key, and adds the received product identifier to the shopping memo corresponding to the hit user identifier. Add "ABC banana" (step S109). It is assumed that the user U001 also registers the product identifiers "BCD bread", "CCC milk", etc. in the shopping memo in the same manner. Then, the user shopping memo information stored in the storage unit 11 is shown in FIG. In FIG. 8, the user shopping memo information includes a user identifier and a user's shopping memo identified by the user identifier. In addition, the shopping memo includes a product identifier registered by the user. In FIG. 8, only the product identifier is included in the shopping memo, but in the shopping memo, the code identifier may be associated with the product identifier. By doing so, it becomes possible to manage shopping memos for each leaflet.

Next, when it is determined that it is time to acquire the purchase schedule information, the purchase schedule acquisition unit 18 acquires the purchase schedule information and passes it to the transmission unit 14 (steps S112 and S113). The purchase schedule acquisition unit 18 may determine that the purchase schedule information is periodically acquired, for example, every hour. Further, the purchase schedule acquisition unit 18 may acquire the purchase schedule information by acquiring the product identifiers included in all the shopping memos stored in the storage unit 11 and counting the number of each product identifier. .. It is assumed that the purchase schedule information acquired in this way is as shown in FIG. The purchase schedule information of FIG. 9 includes a product identifier and the number of pieces of the product identifier included in the shopping memo. For example, the product identifier "ABC banana" is registered in the shopping memo by 72 users. Upon receiving the purchase schedule information, the transmission unit 14 transmits the received purchase schedule information using the preset address of the store terminal device 3 as the transmission destination (step S114). The transmitted purchase schedule information is received and output by the store terminal device 3. Then, according to the output purchase schedule information, the store employee can predict the sales of the product. For example, when the stock of a specific product is likely to be insufficient, the early arrival of the product is made in advance. By arranging it, it is possible to prevent it from running out of stock.

Next, it is assumed that the user U001 goes to the store selling the product of the leaflet 5 and performs an operation of displaying the browsing information on the user terminal device 2. Then, as shown in FIG. 6C, the browsing information stored in advance is displayed. The leaflet 5 displaying the code identified by the code identifier "C001" is viewed by the user U001 by the store employee viewing this display or by reading the displayed two-dimensional code. It will be shown that the user U001 will be able to receive the provision of services corresponding to the above.

Further, it is assumed that the user U001 performs an operation of transmitting a shopping memo transmission request to the server device 1 at the store. Then, the user terminal device 2 transmits the user identifier and the shopping memo transmission request to the server device 1. The information is received by the receiving unit 12 and passed to the transmitting unit 14 (step S110). Upon receiving the user identifier and the shopping memo transmission request, the transmission unit 14 searches the user shopping memo information using the user identifier as a search key, and the shopping memo corresponding to the hit user identifier, that is, a plurality of shopping memos included in the shopping memo. The product identifier of the above is read out and transmitted to the user terminal device 2 of the transmission source such as the shopping memo transmission request (step S111). The transmitted shopping memo is received by the user terminal device 2 and displayed as shown in FIG. 6D. With this display, the user can remember the product to be purchased and prevent forgetting to buy it.

After that, it is assumed that the user U001 presents the membership card at the store and purchases the product at the cash register. The store terminal device 3 can acquire the user identifier "U001" of the user by presenting the membership card, and can acquire the product identifier of each product to be purchased by purchasing the product at the cash register. In this way, in the store terminal device 3, the purchased product information including the user identifier and the product identifier of the product purchased by the user identified by the user identifier can be acquired, and the purchased product information is the server device. It is sent to 1. The transmitted purchased product information is received by the receiving unit 12 and passed to the unpurchased product acquisition unit 19 (step S115). Upon receiving the purchased product information, the unpurchased product acquisition unit 19 searches the user shopping memo information using the user identifier included in the purchased product information as a search key, and each product included in the shopping memo corresponding to the hit user identifier. Get the identifier. Then, among the product identifiers obtained from the shopping memo, the product identifiers that are not included in the purchased product information are specified, the unpurchased product information including the specified product identifiers, and the user identifiers included in the purchased product information. Is passed to the transmission unit 14 (step S116). In this specific example, it is assumed that the product identifier "BCD bread" is included in the unpurchased product information. The transmission unit 14 transmits the received unpurchased product information to the user terminal device 2 corresponding to the user identifier “U001” (step S117). The transmitted unpurchased product information is received by the user terminal device 2 of the user U001. Then, on the user terminal device 2, as shown in FIG. 6E, an alert for forgetting to buy is displayed. By this display, the user U001 can receive a warning about forgetting to buy BCD bread, and can prevent forgetting to buy.

Further, the analysis unit 16 analyzes the effect of the leaflet 5 when it is time to analyze the effect (steps S118 and S119). Specifically, the analysis unit 16 may refer to the code identifier and the reception history of the product detailed information transmission request to identify the degree of viewing of the leaflet 5 and the product that has been frequently accessed. Then, the result of the analysis may be output to the administrator of the server device 1, an analyst who analyzes the effect of the leaflet, and the like.

As described above, according to the server device 1 according to the present embodiment, the product identifier and the detailed product information of the product posted on the leaflet are associated with the code identifier that identifies the code displayed on the leaflet. By being managed, the product identifier of the product posted on the leaflet and the detailed product information can be transmitted to the user terminal device 2. Therefore, the user can easily obtain detailed information on the product posted on the leaflet by, for example, operating the user terminal device 2 and photographing the code displayed on the leaflet. .. Further, by accumulating the history of access from the user terminal device 2, it becomes possible to analyze the effect of the leaflet on the paper medium, which has been difficult in the past. Further, in the past, in order to prove that the leaflet was viewed, it was necessary to cut out and bring the leaflet itself or the coupon displayed on the leaflet to the store, but the viewing transmitted from the server device 1 By outputting the information on the user terminal device 2, it is possible to prove that the leaflet has been viewed, and it becomes possible to receive services, discounts, and the like accordingly.

In addition, the user can add the product identifier of the product posted on the leaflet to the shopping memo, and the shopping memo can be viewed on the user terminal device 2, so that it is possible to prevent forgetting to buy. Further, since the shopping memo is managed by the server device 1 instead of being managed by each terminal, for example, the product identifier is registered in the shopping memo on the tablet terminal at home, and the shopping memo is managed by the smartphone at the store. It is also possible to confirm the above, which improves the convenience of the user. In addition, since the store can receive the purchase schedule information acquired using the shopping memo, it is possible to predict the sales of the products posted on the leaflets, and take measures according to the prediction in advance. You will be able to do it. Further, the purchased product information is transmitted from the store terminal device 3 to the server device 1, and the unpurchased product information is acquired and transmitted using the purchased product information and the shopping memo, so that the user can more surely forget to buy. Will be able to prevent.

Next, a modification of the server device 1 according to the present embodiment will be described.
[Acquisition of purchase schedule information according to the comparison result between the purchased product information and the shopping memo]
As described above, in the store, it is possible to secure the inventory of products by using the purchase schedule information transmitted from the server device 1. On the other hand, not all product identifiers registered in the shopping memo by the user are purchased. For example, it is possible that the user who registered the product identifier in the shopping memo does not go to the store. It is also conceivable not to purchase the product with the product identifier registered in the shopping memo. Therefore, the purchase schedule information may be acquired in consideration of such a situation. Therefore, the server device 1 may further include a comparison unit 21 as shown in FIG. 2B. When the purchased product information is received by the receiving unit 12, the comparison unit 21 compares the purchased product information with the shopping memo corresponding to the user identifier included in the purchased product information, and compares the comparison result with the shopping memo. It may be stored in the storage unit 11 in association with the user identifier. The comparison may be a comparison between the product identifier included in the purchased product information and the product identifier included in the shopping memo. The comparison result may be, for example, information indicating the ratio of products indicated to have been purchased by the purchased product information among the product identifiers included in the shopping memo. That is, the comparison result is, for example, a value obtained by dividing the number of product identifiers included in the shopping memo and also included in the purchased product information by the total number of product identifiers included in the shopping memo (hereinafter, this value is used). It may also be referred to as "purchase ratio"). If the shopping memo or the purchased product information includes the number of items in association with the item identifier, the comparison result may be acquired in consideration of the number of items. The comparison result may be acquired using all the shopping memos stored in the storage unit 11 for a user. If all the product identifiers included in the shopping memo have been purchased, the purchase ratio, which is the comparison result, is "1". On the other hand, if only half is purchased, the purchase ratio will be "0.5".

Further, the purchase schedule acquisition unit 18 may correct the number of product identifiers by using the comparison result by the comparison unit 21 when acquiring the purchase schedule information. For example, when counting the number of product identifiers included in the shopping memo of a certain user, the value obtained by multiplying the purchase ratio, which is the comparison result associated with the user identifier of the user, may be counted. For example, if the purchase ratio of a user is "0.5" and the user's shopping memo contains only the product identifier, the product identifier related to the shopping memo is counted as "0.5". May be added to the total number of counts, and if the user's shopping memo includes the product identifier and the quantity, the quantity is "0.5" when counting the product identifier related to the shopping memo. May be added to the total number of counts. That is, when the purchase schedule acquisition unit 18 adds the number of each product identifier included in the shopping memo for each user, the number corresponding to the product identifier is performed by performing weighting addition using the purchase ratio of each user as a weight. May be obtained.

Since the purchased product information is not sent unless the product is purchased at the store, even if the user registers the product identifier in the shopping memo, if the user does not go to the store, the purchased product information does not exist. .. In this case, the comparison unit 21 may compare the null purchased product information with the shopping memo.

In this way, by acquiring the purchase schedule information using the comparison result, the accuracy of the purchase schedule information can be improved. For example, a situation in which the store secures an excess inventory according to the purchase schedule information. Can be avoided.

[Specification of product identifier according to user attribute information]
The identification unit 13 may specify the product identifier associated with the code identifier according to the attribute information indicating the user's attribute. In this case, the storage unit 11 may store a plurality of user attribute information that associates the user identifier with the attribute information indicating the attribute of the user identified by the user identifier. The attribute information may be, for example, information indicating the user's preference, information indicating the user's intake restriction, demographic attributes such as the user's age and gender, and the user's other information. It may be information indicating the attribute of.

The information indicating the user's preference may be information indicating the type of product that the user likes (for example, "confectionery", "fruit", etc.). In addition, the information indicating the intake restriction of the user may be information indicating an allergen such as "soba" and "shrimp". Further, the demographic attribute may be, for example, "male", "female", "minor", "adult", or the like.

In this case, it is preferable that the receiving unit 12 receives the user identifier and the code identifier. As described above, both may be received together, or may be received separately if the correspondence is known. Then, when the user identifier and the code identifier are received by the receiving unit 12, the specific unit 13 is associated with the code identifier according to the attribute information associated with the user identifier. The identifier may be specified. More specifically, the identification unit 13 first tentatively identifies the product identifier associated with the received code identifier, and then uses the attribute information associated with the received user identifier. Accordingly, the final product identifier may be specified from the tentatively specified product identifier. The identification of the product identifier according to the attribute information may mean, for example, specifying only a part of the product identifiers among the product identifiers associated with the code identifier according to the attribute information, and the attribute. Depending on the information, the order of the product identifiers in the product list may be determined. In the latter case, it is preferable that the product list is displayed on the user terminal device 2 in the order of the product identifiers determined by the specific unit 13. In specifying the product identifier according to the attribute information, the product detailed information and other information associated with the product identifier may be used in the product information. In this case, the product information may include information used for specifying the product identifier according to the attribute information (for example, information indicating the type of the product, information on the allergen, etc.).

Specifically, when the attribute information is information indicating the user's preference, the product identifier may be specified so that the product identifier of the user's favorite product is displayed at the top of the product list. In this case, the identification of the product identifier according to the attribute information may be considered to be the identification of the product identifier in the order according to the attribute information. In this case, the product information may include information indicating the type of the product identified by the product identifier. For example, the product information including the product identifier "ABC banana" may include information indicating the type of the product such as "banana" and "fruit". Then, when the attribute information indicating the user's preference includes "banana" or "fruit", the specific unit 13 specifies the product identifier corresponding to the code identifier "C001" by using the product correspondence information. At that time, the product identifier "ABC banana" included in the product information including "banana" and "fruit" may be specified so as to be higher.

Further, when the attribute information is information indicating the intake restriction, the specific unit 13 does not have to specify the product identifier of the product subject to the intake restriction. For example, when the attribute information indicating the user's intake restriction includes the allergen "shrimp", the specific unit 13 uses the product correspondence information shown in FIG. 5 to use the product identifier corresponding to the code identifier "C001". It is not necessary to specify the product identifier "DDD shrimp" in which "allergen: shrimp" is included in the detailed product information.

Further, when the attribute information is a demographic attribute, the specific unit 13 may specify only the product identifier of the product that matches the demographic attribute, and the product that matches the demographic attribute is ranked higher. The product identifier may be specified in. In this case, the product information may include demographic attributes of the user to whom the product is sold. For example, the product information of cosmetics and perfumes may include the demographic attribute "female". When the user's attribute information includes "female", the specific unit 13 may specify only the product identifier included in the product information including "female", and the product identifier may be specified. The product identifier may be specified so as to be higher.
