Description

The present invention relates to a control program, a control method, a terminal device and a server device.

In recent years, the number of websites related to electronic commerce for buying and selling CtoC (Customer to Customer) goods, such as Internet auctions and flea market applications, has increased.
On such websites, it is usually necessary to set a price on the goods sold by the seller who sells the goods. Even in an Internet auction where a specific selling price is not set, there is no difference in that the seller may need to set a price for the item in the form of, for example, the lowest winning bid.

However, it is not easy to set such a price because the seller usually does not have information on how much it is appropriate to set a price for the goods to be sold. Therefore, there is known a system for providing a service for providing price information related to an article to be exhibited to an exhibitor (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

In the following, for convenience of explanation, steps S1-1 to S1-3 will be described in this order, but the order in which they are performed is not limited to this.

[(1) Step S1-1: Provision of price information and registration of goods]
First, the flow chart when the user receives the price information for the desired item and registers the item for which the price information is provided as the registered item data D2 in the inventory list storage unit 123 of the server device 1. This will be described based on the flowchart of 3.

[Astep S1-11: Start program]
When the user wishes to receive price information for the goods he / she owns, he / she first performs a predetermined operation using the operation unit 25 of the user terminal 2, and controls the user terminal provided in the storage unit 22. It starts for each program 221.

When the control program 221 for the user terminal is activated, the control unit 11 of the user terminal 2 captures an image of the surroundings of the user terminal 2 in real time by the image pickup unit 26, and the captured image is as shown in FIG. A graphic F having a predetermined shape is arranged in the vicinity of the center of the image (in FIG. 6, the center in the left-right direction and slightly lower than the center in the vertical direction), and is displayed on the display unit 24.

Although the case where a circle is displayed as the figure F is shown in FIG. 6, the displayed figure F is provided with price information by the user by superimposing the articles in the image as described later. Any item can be specified as long as it can be specified, and may be, for example, a triangle or a quadrangle. Further, not only the x mark and the outline as shown in the figure but also the one whose inside is filled can be displayed in an overlapping manner in the image, and as described later, it can be displayed as an article in the image. If it is possible to specify an item for which the user wants to acquire price information by overlapping, it shall be included in the "figure".

Prior to the above, a dialog box with an icon for calling up predetermined information such as an explanation of how to use is displayed superimposed on the above screen, and the user responds to an operation using the operation unit 25. Therefore, predetermined information such as an explanation of how to use may be displayed.

[Istep S1-12: Goods recognition]
When the image captured by the image pickup unit 26 contains some article while the control program 221 for the user terminal is activated, the control unit 21 recognizes the existence of the article in the image (step S1-12-). 1).
As a specific method for recognizing an article, any existing method can be used. For example, an API that has a database of article images for each field and calls an external predetermined software that recognizes the article using the database. (Application Programming Interface) or the like may be used to recognize the article in the image by an external predetermined software, and then the communication unit 23 may acquire the information related to the article recognition.

Upon recognizing the article in the image captured by the image pickup unit 26, the control unit 21 superimposes the recognized article on the image captured by the image pickup unit 26, and the control unit 21 has an article icon having a predetermined shape as shown in FIG. Display A1 (step S1-12-2).
The article icon A1 may be any as long as it can indicate the recognized article by displaying it on top of the recognized article in the image, and its specific shape is arbitrary. In FIG. 7, the case where the bookmark mark is displayed in the circle as the article icon A1 is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[C. Step S1-13: Target designation]
When the article recognition is completed and the article icon A1 having a predetermined shape is displayed in the image captured by the image pickup unit 26 as shown in FIG. 7, the user subsequently enters the article on which the article icon A1 is displayed. Specify the goods for which you wish to receive price information.
Specifically, the user moves the user terminal 2 to adjust the image pickup direction by the image pickup unit 26, so that the figure F displayed in the image captured by the image pickup unit 26 is recognized as shown in FIG. Of each of the goods, the goods for which the price information is desired to be provided are designated by superimposing the goods icon A1 attached to the goods for which the price information is desired to be provided.

[Estep S1-14: Display of price information]
When the user superimposes the figure F displayed in the image captured by the image pickup unit 26 on the article icon A1 and designates the article for which price information is desired to be provided, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 2 controls the image pickup unit 26. After cutting out only a predetermined range around the article from the image captured by the image, the data related to the cut out image is transmitted from the communication unit 23 to the server device 1 via the communication network N (step). S1-14-1).

In the server device 1, when the communication unit 13 receives the data related to the image cut out in step S1-14-1, the control unit 11 acquires the price information related to the article of the image (step S1-14). -2).
The specific method for acquiring price information is not particularly limited, but for example, a transaction history including an image of an article having a certain similarity to the article related to the image based on the image can be obtained from an Internet auction, a free market application, or the like. A certain similarity with the received image data is obtained by using an existing API or the like that calls an external predetermined software to search from a list of transaction histories on a website related to a predetermined electronic commerce for buying and selling CtoC goods. After extracting the transaction history including the image of the goods to be possessed, the price information of the goods related to the image may be acquired by calculating the average value of the selling prices related to the extracted transaction history.
Further, for example, the server device 1 itself stores information related to the posted image on the website related to a predetermined electronic commerce for buying and selling CtoC goods such as an internet auction or a free market application in the storage unit 12. The control unit 11 has a database related to the transaction history including the transaction history, and the control unit 11 extracts the transaction history including the image of the article having a certain similarity with the received image data from the database, and then adds the extracted transaction history to the extracted transaction history. The average value of the selling price may be calculated.

When the price information is acquired, in the server device 1, the control unit 11 transmits the acquired data related to the price information from the communication unit 13 to the user terminal 2 via the communication network N (steps S1-14-3). ), In the user terminal 2 that has received the data by the communication unit 23, the control unit 21 puts the price icon A2 on which the received price information is displayed in the image captured by the image pickup unit 26, as shown in FIG. It is displayed around the displayed article icon A1 related to the article (step S1-14-4). It is preferable that the displayed price information is rounded to some extent, for example, by rounding down the tens place or less.

As shown in FIG. 8, the article icon A1 has an icon from the time when the figure F is superimposed on the article icon A1 in step S1-13 until the price information is displayed in step S1-14-4. The icon is gradually colored in such a way as to go around, and finally, at the stage where the price information is displayed in step S1-14-4, the icon is completely colored as shown in FIG.
Further, when the price information cannot be acquired in the server device 1 such as when the transaction history including the image of the article having a certain similarity with the received image data is not found, the user terminal 2 may use the user terminal 2. Instead of the price icon A2, a predetermined icon indicating that the price information cannot be presented may be displayed around the article icon A1.

[Ostep S1-15: Display of related word information, etc.]
When it is desired to confirm the related word information related to the article after the price information is displayed in the image captured by the imaging unit 26, the user uses the operation unit 25 to attach the article icon to the article. Operate A1 (step S1-15-1). For example, if the operation unit 25 is a touch panel integrally provided with the display unit 24, the article icon A1 will be tapped.
When the article icon A1 is operated, the control unit 21 of the user terminal 2 sends information to the effect that the article icon A1 related to the article on which the price information is displayed is operated from the communication unit 23 via the communication network N. It is transmitted to the server device 1 (step S1-15-2).

In the server device 1, when the communication unit 13 receives the information that the article icon A1 relating to the article on which the price information is displayed has been operated, the control unit 11 relates to the word having a relevance for the article. Acquire information (step S1-15-3).
