First, a process for shipping a shipment from the printing system 40 will be described.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining a process for shipping a shipment from the printing system 40 in the system environment shown in FIG.

When shipping a shipment from the printing system 40 in the system environment shown in FIG. 1, first, the data acquisition unit 41 acquires the customer data of the destination of the shipment shipped from the printing system 40 from the customer database 32. At the same time, the print provision data printed on the invoice included in the shipment sent from the printing system 40 is acquired from the print provision database 31 (step 1). At this time, the data acquisition unit 41 may acquire print provision data according to the type of the shipment from the print provision database 31 regardless of the destination of the shipment to be shipped, or the shipment to be shipped. The print provision data corresponding to the destination of the above may be acquired from the print provision database 31. When the print provision data corresponding to the destination of the delivery is acquired from the print provision database 31, the print data corresponding to the customer data acquired from the customer database 32 is searched and acquired from the print provision database 31. .. Specifically, in the print providing database 31, the data printed on the cover page included in the delivery sent from the printing system 40 is registered so as to be searchable according to the age and preference of the customer. For example, the data related to automobiles is associated with automobiles as preference information, and the data related to fashion is associated with women in their twenties as attribute information. Therefore, the data acquisition unit 41 acquires the print provision data searched based on the customer data acquired from the customer database 32 from the print provision database 31.

Next, the printed matter preparation unit 42 creates a delivery label and a cover page using the print provision data acquired by the data acquisition unit 41, the cover page is included in the shipment together with the article, and the delivery label is sent. It is attached to an object (step 2).

Information 4a to 4c are printed, and ID5a, which is identification information, is printed. The ID 5a can specify the campaign related to the product sample, and is uniform for each campaign regardless of the recipient of the delivery 1. In this way, the ID 5a is printed on the cover page 3 included in the cover page 1, so that the ID 5a is hidden during the delivery of the cover page 1, and when the cover page 1 is opened. It is described in the viewable area.

Next, a process for creating and transmitting a message on the management server 20 will be described.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining a process when a message is created and transmitted by the management server 20 in the system environment shown in FIG.

While the delivery item 1 is shipped from the printing system 40 as described above, in the management server 20, first, the data acquisition unit 21 acquires the customer data of the destination of the delivery item 1 from the customer database 32, and also The print provision data and the URL data corresponding to the acquired customer data are acquired from the print provision database 31 and the URL database 33, respectively (step 11). Here, in the print providing database 31, the data printed on the cover page or the like included in the delivery 1 sent from the printing system 40 is posted in the message created by the management server 20. The data is registered so as to be searchable according to the age and taste of the customer. Therefore, the data acquisition unit 41 acquires the print provision data searched based on the customer data acquired from the customer database 32 from the print provision database 31. Further, in the URL database 33, the URL embedded as link information in the message created by the management server 220 is registered so as to be searchable according to the age and preference of the customer, as in the print providing database 31. Therefore, the data acquisition unit 41 acquires the URL searched based on the customer data acquired from the customer database 32 from the URL database 32.

Next, the message creation unit 22 creates a message using the customer data, print provision data, and URL data acquired by the data acquisition unit 21 (step 12).

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a message screen created by the management server 20 shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 5, the message created by the management server 20 shown in FIG. 1 includes the destination information 8 consisting of the customer's name acquired from the customer database 32 by the data acquisition unit 21 and the data acquisition unit 21. The campaign information 6a, which is recommended information including the campaign name corresponding to the data acquired from the print providing database 31 at the above, is posted. The campaign information 6a relates to, for example, the campaign information 4a searched based on the customer data acquired by the data acquisition unit 21 among the campaign information 4a to 4c described in the cover page 3. Further, the link information 7 based on the URL acquired from the URL database 33 is embedded in the data acquisition unit 21. The link information 7 is composed of a fixed parameter 7a that is uniform according to the type of the delivery 1 regardless of the destination of the message, and a dynamic parameter 7b that is set according to the destination of the message. .. That is, in the URL database 33, the URL embedded as link information in the message created by the management server 20 has different dynamic parameters 7b depending on the age and preference of the customer according to the type of the delivery 1. It is registered and will be searched by the data acquisition unit 21 according to the age and taste of the customer. In addition, among the information printed on the cover page 3 included in the cover page 1, points that the recipient of the cover page 1 particularly wants to see may be posted. Further, in the message 11, the input deadline information 13 indicating the deadline for inputting the ID 5a printed on the cover page 3 is displayed on the information input screen provided to the mobile terminal 10 by designating the link information 7. ing.

Next, the message transmitting unit 23 refers to the shipping date database 35, and confirms the shipping date of the shipment 201 to be shipped to the destination of the created message (step 13). This is because the shipping date of the delivery 1 is registered in the shipping date database 35 for each type of identification information and delivery 1 given in advance for each customer, and these identification information and types can be searched as keywords. Conceivable. Actually, in the message creation unit 22, the message itself as shown in FIG. 5 is not created, but the message as shown in FIG. 5 is displayed by the application on the mobile terminal 10 side. Display information such as the source code of is assembled.

Next, in the message transmission unit 23, the message created by the message creation unit 22 is transmitted to the mobile terminal 10 via the network 50 with the address acquired from the customer database 32 by the data acquisition unit 21 as the destination. (Step 14). At this time, based on the shipping date of the delivery 1 confirmed in step 13, the transmission timing before the date and time when the delivery 1 arrives at the recipient is determined, and the message creation unit 22 creates the transmission timing at that transmission timing. The message will be sent. For example, it is conceivable that the delivery date of the delivery item 1 confirmed in step 13 is set as the message transmission timing. It should be noted that the message transmitting unit 23 does not actually transmit the message itself as shown in FIG. 5, but also transmits the display information such as the source code assembled by the message creating unit 22. It becomes.

After that, the message transmitted from the management server 20 is received and displayed on the mobile terminal 10 via the network 50 (step 15). In addition, even in the mobile terminal 10, as described above, since the display information for displaying the message is actually transmitted from the message transmitting unit 23, it is installed when the display information is received. A message based on the displayed information will be displayed by the application. At that time, as shown in FIG. 5, the time information 12 indicating the reception date and time of the message 11 is displayed on the mobile terminal 10 together with the message 11.

In this way, the recipient of the deliverable 1 sent from the printing system 40 can know that the deliverable 1 is being sent by viewing the message 11 received on the mobile terminal 10. .. At that time, as described above, the message 11 contains the campaign information 6a regarding the campaign provided by using the delivery 1, so that the information regarding the campaign information 6a is notified before the delivery 1 is received. It is possible to know that, and to be interested in the recipient of the delivery 1, thereby improving the opening rate of the delivery 1.

Next, when the recipient of the deliverable 1 sent from the printing system 40 receives the service by using the deliverable 1 and the message 11 transmitted from the management server 20 and received by the mobile terminal 10. The processing will be described.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining a process when the recipient of the delivery item 1 sent from the printing system 40 shown in FIG. 1 accesses the management server 20.

As described above, the message transmitted from the management server 20 is received by the mobile terminal 10, the delivery 1 sent from the printing system 40 is delivered to the recipient, and then the delivery 1 is delivered by the recipient to the mobile terminal. When the link information 7 embedded in the message received in step 10 is specified, the management server 20 is accessed (step 21). At this time, since the delivery item 1 has been sent, the reliability of the service at the recipient of the delivery item 1 is improved as compared with the case where the message in which the link information is embedded is simply received, and the service is sent to the management server 20. Increased likelihood of access. Further, since the link information 7 for accessing the management server 20 is embedded in the message, the URL printed on the cover page 3 or the like included in the delivery 1 can be input or the two-dimensional code can be input. It is possible to provide the recipient of the delivery 1 with additional information that cannot be expressed in writing, such as the cover page 3 included in the delivery 1, without the trouble of reading and accessing it.

Then, the access reception unit 25 of the management server 20 accepts the access from the mobile terminal 10, and the input screen transmission unit 26 inputs the ID 5a printed on the cover page 3 included in the delivery material 1. The screen is transmitted to the mobile terminal 10 via the network 50 (step 22).

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an input screen transmitted from the management server 20 shown in FIG. 1 to the mobile terminal 10.

Input screen of the management server 20 The input screen transmitted from the transmission unit 26 is input to the ID input area 9a for inputting the ID 5a printed on the cover page 3 and the ID input area 9a as shown in FIG. A transmission button 9c for transmitting the ID to the management server 20 is provided, and the input screen configured in this way is received and displayed by the mobile terminal 10 (step 23).

The recipient of the cover page 1 inputs the cover page 3 in the ID input area 9a on the input screen displayed on the mobile terminal 10 in order to input the ID 5a printed on the cover page 3 included in the cover page 1. It needs to be removed, which will open the cover page 1. Further, since the campaign information 6a posted in the message transmitted to the mobile terminal 10 relates to the campaign information 4a printed on the cover page 3 included in the cover page 1, the recipient of the deliverable 1 However, if one wants to know more about the campaign information 6a posted in the message, the cover page 1 will be opened, and the opening rate of the cover page 1 can be further improved.

Further, since the message transmitted to the mobile terminal 10 includes the input deadline information 13 indicating the deadline for inputting the ID 5a printed on the cover page 3 into the ID input area 9a, the early delivery 1 is performed. Can be prompted to open.

Then, when the ID 5a printed on the cover page 3 is input to the ID input area 9a on the input screen displayed on the mobile terminal 10 and the transmission button 9c is pressed, the ID 5a is transmitted from the mobile terminal 10 ( In step 24), the transmitted ID 5a is received by the open recognition unit 27 of the management server 20 via the network 50 (step 25).

In the opening recognition unit 27, when the ID 5a transmitted from the mobile terminal 10 is received, the received ID 5a is printed on the cover page 3 included in the delivery 1, so that the ID 5a is It is received as information that the cover page 1 has been opened, and it is recognized that the cover page 1 has been opened (step 26). Then, in the opening recognition unit 27, the fact that the delivery item 1 has been opened is registered as an opening history. In this way, the history of whether or not the delivery item 1 has been opened can be collected on the management server 20 side. Although it is possible that the ID5a printed on the cover page 3 is not input or transmitted even though the cover page 1 has been opened, the ID5a printed on the cover page 3 is received, so that the package is delivered. The approximate opening rate of 1 can be grasped, and further, by collating with the customer data registered in the customer database 32, the opening rate according to the attribute information and preference of the recipient of the delivery 1 can be grasped. You can also do it.

Further, in the timer 24, the time after the message is transmitted by the message transmitting unit 23 is measured, and when the opening recognition unit 27 recognizes that the delivery item 1 has been opened, by then. The time measured by the timer 24 is recognized (step 27).

Then, in the content acquisition unit 28, first, based on the time recognized by the opening recognition unit 27, the date and time when the ID 5a is received as the opening information by the opening recognition unit 27 is transmitted from the message transmission unit 23 to the mobile terminal 10. It is determined whether or not it is within the input deadline specified by the input deadline information 13 described in the transmitted message. In the content acquisition unit 28, the input deadline specified by the input deadline information 13 posted in the message transmitted from the message transmission unit 23 to the mobile terminal 10 is managed in association with the ID 5a printed on the invoice 3. Therefore, based on the ID 5a received by the opening recognition unit 27 and the time measured by the timer 24, the date and time when the ID 5a is received as opening information by the opening recognition unit 27 is determined by the message transmitting unit 23. It is possible to determine whether or not it is within the input deadline specified by the input deadline information 13 posted in the message transmitted to the mobile terminal 10. In this way, in the timer 24, the time after the message is transmitted by the message transmitting unit 23 is measured, and when the opening recognition unit 27 recognizes that the delivery item 1 has been opened, by then. Based on the time measured by the timer 24, the date and time when the ID 5a is received as the opening information by the opening recognition unit 27 is the input deadline information 13 posted in the message transmitted from the message transmitting unit 23 to the mobile terminal 10. By determining whether or not the input deadline is within the input deadline specified by, it is possible to recognize the timing at which the delivery item 1 is opened based on the date and time when the message is transmitted from the message transmission unit 23 to the mobile terminal 10. ..

Next, the content acquisition unit 28 acquires the corresponding content data from the content database 34 (step 28). Similar to the print providing database 31, the content to be transmitted to the mobile terminal 10 is registered in the content database 34 so as to be searchable according to the age and preference of the customer. The content acquisition unit 28 can search for content according to the age and taste of the customer by recognizing the ID transmitted from the mobile terminal 10 and the input screen into which the ID is input. This is because the input screen transmitted from the input screen transmission unit 26 to the mobile terminal 10 specifies the URL posted in the message according to the customer data acquired by the data acquisition unit 21. Is. At this time, in the content acquisition unit 28, the date and time when the ID 5a is received as the opening information by the opening recognition unit 27 is specified by the input deadline information 13 posted in the message transmitted from the message transmitting unit 23 to the mobile terminal 10. Different content data will be acquired from the content database 34 depending on whether the input deadline is within the input deadline or outside the input deadline. The content database 34 is provided when the date and time when the delivery item 1 is opened is within the input deadline specified by the input deadline information 13 posted in the message transmitted from the message transmission unit 23 to the mobile terminal 10. Since the content data to be sent and the content data provided when the input deadline is not reached are registered separately, in the content acquisition unit 28, the date and time when the delivery item 1 is opened is set from the message transmission unit 23. Different content data can be acquired from the content database 34 depending on whether the input deadline is within the input deadline specified by the input deadline information 13 posted in the message transmitted to the mobile terminal 10 or outside the input deadline.

The content acquired by the content acquisition unit 28 is transmitted as an information screen from the content screen transmission unit 29 (step 29), and is received and displayed by the mobile terminal 10 via the network 50 (step 30). ).

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an information screen transmitted from the management server 20 shown in FIG. 1 to the mobile terminal 10.

When the date and time when the delivery item 1 was opened is within the input deadline, the information screen transmitted from the management server 20 to the mobile terminal 10 shows the impression of the delivery item 1 as shown in FIG. 8A. A message 9d requesting input, an impression input area 9e for inputting an impression about the delivery item 1, and a send button 9f for transmitting the impression input in the impression input area 9e to the management server 20 are provided. The information screen configured in this way is received and displayed on the mobile terminal 10.

After that, the recipient of the deliverable 1 inputs the impression of the deliverable 1 into the impression input area 9e, and when the send button 9f is pressed, the recipient's impression of the deliverable 1 is transmitted to the management server 20. Will be collected.

On the other hand, when the date and time when the delivery item 1 was opened is outside the input deadline, as shown in FIG. 8B, only the message 9g indicating that the input deadline has passed and the input of the ID 5a is invalid is displayed. The displayed information screen is received and displayed on the mobile terminal 10. As a result, the recipient of the delivery 1 in which the ID5a is input recognizes that the input of the ID5a is invalid because the input deadline has passed, and cannot proceed to the further processing.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the date and time when the delivery item 1 is opened is within the input deadline displayed in the message sent to the mobile terminal 10 operated by the recipient of the delivery item 1 and outside the input deadline. Since an information screen composed of different contents is transmitted to the mobile terminal 10 in different cases, when collecting information about the deliverable 1 using this information screen, the information screen is set according to the timing when the deliverable 1 is opened. Appropriate information can be collected. Further, when the date and time when the delivery item 1 is opened is outside the input deadline displayed in the message sent to the mobile terminal 10 that can be operated by the recipient of the delivery item 1, the input transmitted to the mobile terminal 10 When the information screen displaying the message 9g indicating that the input of the ID 5a on the screen is invalid is displayed on the mobile terminal 10 and the delivery 1 has an expiration date or an expiration date set. In addition, if the information about the delivery item 1 whose expiration date or expiration date has passed is unnecessary, such information can be prevented from being collected.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the link information 7 embedded in the message transmitted to the mobile terminal 10 has a fixed parameter 7a and a message that are uniform according to the type of the delivery 1 regardless of the destination of the message. It is composed of a dynamic parameter 7b set according to the destination of the above. Therefore, even if it is not possible to print identification information such as an individual password for each recipient on the cover page 3 included in the delivery 1, the service according to the recipient of the delivery 1 is provided. be able to.

Here, if the opening recognition unit 27 does not recognize that the delivery item 1 has been opened, the management server 20 may urge the delivery item 1 to be opened.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining a process of urging the opening of the delivery 1 when the management server 20 shown in FIG. 1 does not recognize that the delivery 1 has been opened.

After the message created by the message creation unit 22 as described above is transmitted from the message transmission unit 23 to the mobile terminal 10 operated by the recipient of the delivery 1 (step 31), the message is transmitted by the timer 24. When a certain period of time has elapsed (steps 32 and 33) that the time since the delivery has been measured and the opening recognition unit 27 does not recognize that the delivery item 1 has been opened, the message transmission unit 23 sends the message transmission unit 23 to the mobile terminal 10. The message is sent again. This process is performed until the opening recognition unit 27 recognizes that the delivery item 1 has been opened or the number of times the message is transmitted to the mobile terminal 10 reaches a predetermined number of times (step 34).

In this way, until the opening recognition unit 27 recognizes that the delivery item 1 has been opened, the message is transmitted to the mobile terminal 10 operated by the recipient of the delivery item 1 a predetermined number of times to obtain the delivery item 1. You can urge the opening. At that time, by using the same application for the message to be transmitted to the mobile terminal 10, the recipient of the delivery 1 can recognize that the plurality of messages to be transmitted are the same notification. In particular, if LINE (registered trademark) is used as the message and a plurality of notifications transmitted from the management server 20 are displayed on one screen of the mobile terminal 10, it is easy to understand that they are the same notifications.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of a message screen transmitted from the management server 20 in order to urge the opening of the delivery item 1.

As shown in FIG. 10, whether the message 11 including the destination information 8, the campaign information 6a, the link information 7, etc. shown in FIG. 5 is recognized by the opening recognition unit 27 that the delivery item 1 has been opened. It is conceivable that the message is repeatedly transmitted at regular time intervals until the number of times the message is transmitted to the mobile terminal 10 reaches a predetermined number of times, and is displayed on one screen of the mobile terminal 10 together with the time information 12 indicating the reception time.

As a result, as described above, it becomes easy to understand that the messages 11 transmitted at regular intervals are the same notification.

In this embodiment, the time after the message is transmitted by the message transmitting unit 23 is measured by the timer 24, and the ID 5a and the timer 24 received by the opening recognition unit 27 in the content acquisition unit 28. Based on the time measured up to that point, the date and time when ID5a was received as opening information by the opening recognition unit 27 is the input deadline posted in the message transmitted from the message transmitting unit 23 to the mobile terminal 10. Although it is determined whether or not the input deadline is within the input deadline specified by the information 13, the content acquisition unit 28 manages the time according to the input deadline of the ID 5a for each shipment 1, and the opening recognition unit 27 manages the ID 5a. The date and time when ID5a was received as opening information by the opening recognition unit 27 is posted in the message transmitted from the message transmitting unit 23 to the mobile terminal 10 depending on whether the date and time when the information was received as opening information has passed. It may be determined whether or not it is within the input deadline specified by the input deadline information 13.

(Other embodiments)
In the above-described embodiment, as the delivery body, the delivery material 1 in which the delivery letter 3 is included together with the product samples 2a and 2b as articles in the box body 1a has been described as an example. Is not limited to this, and advertising mail can also be used.

As the delivery body shipped from the printing system 40 shown in FIG. 1, as shown in FIG. 11, the front side paper piece 101a and the back side paper piece 101b connected via the folding portion 101c are folded around the folding portion 101c. It is conceivable that the advertising mail 101, which is a notice for advertising and is attached so as to be peelable.

On the outer surface of the front cover piece 101a in the folded state, the address information 102 including the name and address of the destination of the advertisement mail 101 is printed, and the cover information 103 is printed. Further, campaign information 104a to 104c, which is a preferential content, is printed on the inner surface of the surface paper piece 101a in the folded state.

On the back side paper piece 101b, coupon information 104d, 104e as preferential content and ID 105a as identification information are printed on the inner surface in the folded state. It should be noted that the ID 105a is uniform regardless of the recipient of the advertising mail 101.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart for explaining a process for producing and shipping the advertising mail 101 shown in FIG. 11 by the printing system 40 in the system environment shown in FIG.

When the printing system 40 creates and ships the advertising mail 101 shown in FIG. 11 in the system environment shown in FIG. 1, first, the data acquisition unit 41 determines that the customer data of the destination of the advertising mail 101 is a customer. The print provision data to be acquired from the database 32 and printed on the advertising mail 101 is acquired from the print provision database 31 (step 101). Here, while the sending fee of the advertising mail 101 is lower than that of the letter mail, it is not possible to print individual information for each destination. Therefore, the data acquisition unit 41 acquires print provision data according to the type of the advertisement mail 101 from the print provision database 31 regardless of the destination of the advertisement mail 101 to be produced.

Next, the printed matter producing unit 42 produces the advertising mail 101 using the print providing data acquired by the data acquisition unit 41 (step 102). Specifically, after the destination information 102 is printed and the cover information 103, the campaign information 104a to 104c, the coupon information 104d, 104e and the ID 105a are printed, the campaign information 104a to 104c, the coupon information 104d, 104e and the ID 105a are printed. The front side paper piece 101a and the back side paper piece 101b are folded around the folded portion 101c and are peelably attached to each other so that the side on which is printed is on the inside.

Next, the shipping date management unit 43 refers to the shipping date database 35, and specifies the date on which the advertising mail 101 produced by the printed matter producing unit 42 is shipped to the recipient (step 103). Here, in the shipping date database 35, data for specifying the date on which the advertising mail 101 created by the printing system 40 is shipped to the recipient is registered for each advertising mail 1, and the shipping date management unit 43 registers the data. , The date on which the advertising mail 101 is shipped to the recipient is specified based on the data registered in the shipping date database 35. After the advertisement mail 101 is produced by the printed matter producing unit 42, the shipping date may be registered in the shipping date database 35.

After that, in the shipping unit 44, the advertising mail 101 produced by the printed matter producing unit 42 is shipped on the day specified by the shipping date management unit 43 (step 104). As described above, the advertising mail 101 is shipped in a state where it is folded so that the side on which the campaign information 104a to 104c, the coupon information 104d, 104e and ID105a are printed is on the inside and is detachably attached. Therefore, during the sending of the advertisement mail 101, the campaign information 104a to 104c, the coupon information 104d, 104e and the ID 105a cannot be viewed, and the ID 105a is hidden by the advertisement mail 101. Will be sent.

After that, a message notifying that the advertisement mail 101 will be sent to the mobile terminal 10 that can be operated by the recipient of the advertisement mail 101 is sent from the management server 20 in the same manner as shown in the above-described embodiment. Will be sent.

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a message transmitted from the management server 20 to the mobile terminal 10 that can be operated by the recipient of the advertisement mail 101.

As shown in FIG. 13, the message transmitted from the management server 20 to the mobile terminal 10 that can be operated by the recipient of the advertisement mail 101 includes the name of the customer acquired from the customer database 32 by the data acquisition unit 21. The destination information 108 composed of the above, and the campaign information 106a including the campaign name corresponding to the data acquired from the print providing database 31 by the data acquisition unit 21 are posted. The campaign information 106a relates to, for example, the campaign information 104a, which is searched based on the customer data acquired by the data acquisition unit 21 among the campaign information 104a to 104c and the coupon information 104d, 104e printed on the advertisement mail 101. It is a thing. Further, in the data acquisition unit 21, the data of the cover information 103 printed on the advertisement mail 1 produced by the printing system 40 is acquired from the print providing database 31, so that the advertisement displaying the cover information 103 is displayed. The image 106b of the mail 101 is posted. Further, the link information 107 by the URL acquired from the URL database 33 is embedded in the data acquisition unit 21. The link information 107 is composed of a fixed parameter 107a that is uniform according to the type of the advertising mail 101 regardless of the destination of the message, and a dynamic parameter 107b that is set according to the destination of the message. .. That is, in the URL database 33, the URL embedded as link information in the message created by the management server 20 has different dynamic parameters 107b depending on the age and preference of the customer according to the type of the advertising mail 101. It is registered and will be searched by the data acquisition unit 121 according to the age and taste of the customer. Further, in the message, the input deadline information 113 indicating the deadline for inputting the ID 105a printed on the advertising mail 101 is displayed on the information input screen provided to the mobile terminal 10 by designating the link information 107. There is.

After the message configured as described above is received by the mobile terminal 10 that can be operated by the recipient of the advertisement mail 1, it is transmitted from the management server 20 by designating the link information 107 in the same manner as above. ID 105a is input to the incoming input screen, and different information screens are transmitted from the management server 20 to the mobile terminal 10 according to the timing at which the ID 105a is input. At that time, the recipient of the advertisement mail 101 needs to open the advertisement mail 101 in order to input the ID 105a printed on the advertisement mail 101 on the input screen transmitted from the management server 20. , The advertising mail 101 is opened by peeling off the front side paper piece 101a and the back side paper piece 101b. Further, since the campaign information 106a posted in the message transmitted to the mobile terminal 10 relates to the campaign information 104a printed on the inner surface of the advertisement mail 1 in the folded state, the advertisement mail 101 is received. When a person wants to know more about the campaign information 106a posted in the message, the advertisement mail 101 is opened, and the opening rate of the advertisement mail 101 can be further improved.

Further, as described above, the link information 107 embedded in the message transmitted to the mobile terminal 10 has a fixed parameter 107a that is uniform according to the type of the advertising mail 1 regardless of the destination of the message, and the transmission of the message. Since it is composed of dynamic parameters 107b that are set according to the destination, the shipping fee is cheaper than that of correspondence mail, but for advertising mail 101, which cannot print individual information for each destination. Even if it is not possible to print identification information such as an individual password to the recipient of the advertising mail 101, it is possible to provide a service according to the recipient of the advertising mail 101.

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of a system environment to which another embodiment of the notification system of the present invention is applied.

As shown in FIG. 14, this example is different from the one shown in FIG. 1 in that the database server 30 does not have the URL database 33. This is a system environment in which what is shown in FIG. 1 is a case where a letter 3 or an advertising mail 101 on which uniform IDs 5a and 105a are printed is produced by the printing system 40 regardless of the recipient. On the other hand, this embodiment is a system environment in which a letter mail is produced by the printing system 40.

Although the shipping fee for letter mail is higher than that for advertising mail, individual information can be printed for each destination.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, in the printing system 40, the ID and password set for each recipient of the letter mail are printed on the letter mail and notified to the recipient, so that the message is transmitted from the management server 20 to the mobile terminal 10. When the ID and password are input to the incoming input screen, the mobile terminal 10 is provided with the content screen according to the recipient of the letter mail. Therefore, in the management server 20, it is not necessary to make the link information embedded in the message transmitted to the mobile terminal 10 different depending on the recipient of the letter mail. Therefore, the database server 20 does not have the URL database 33. In the message creation unit 22, a preset URL may be embedded in the message as link information.

Even in this embodiment configured as described above, the recipient of the letter mail sent from the printing system 40 can read the message received by the mobile terminal 10 to send the letter mail. You can know.
