FIG. 13 is a flow chart for explaining the processing when the recipient of the item 101 sent from the printing system 40 shown in FIG. 8 accesses the management server 120 .

After the message sent from the management server 120 is received by the mobile terminal 10 as described above, and the matter 101 sent from the printing system 40 is delivered to the recipient, the recipient of the matter 101 sends the message to the mobile terminal. 10, when the link information 107 embedded in the message 111 displayed in the message window 114 is specified, the management server 120 is accessed (step 121). At this time, since the item 101 has been sent, the reliability of the service for the recipient of the item 101 is increased compared to the case where the message 111 embedded with the link information 107 is simply received. increase the possibility of access to In addition, since the link information 107 for accessing the management server 120 is embedded in the message 111, it is possible to input the URL described in the delivery item 101, read the two-dimensional code, and access the management server 120. An additional service that cannot be expressed in writing, such as the cover letter 103 included in the sending matter 101, can be provided to the recipient of the sending matter 101 without taking the time and effort.

Then, the access reception unit 25 of the management server 120 receives the access from the mobile terminal 10, and the input screen transmission unit 26 receives an input for inputting the ID 103c written on the cover letter 103 included in the delivery item 101. The screen is transmitted to the mobile terminal 10 via the network 50 (step 122).

FIG. 14 shows an input screen transmitted from the management server 120 shown in FIG. 8 to the mobile terminal 10. As shown in FIG.

The input screen transmitted from the input screen transmission unit 26 of the management server 120 is, as shown in FIG. A transmission button 109b is provided for transmitting the received ID to the management server 120, and the input screen configured in this way is received and displayed on the portable terminal 10 (step 123).

In order to enter the ID 103c described in the cover letter 103 included in the cover letter 101 in the ID input area 109a of the input screen displayed on the portable terminal 10, the recipient of the cover letter 101 must enter the cover letter 103. It must be removed, which will cause the shipment 101 to be unsealed. In addition, the message 111 displayed on the mobile terminal 10 indicates that by entering the ID 103c in the ID input area 109a, it is possible to acquire the effective usage of the product samples 102a and 102b. will increase the willingness to open.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the message 111 displayed on the mobile terminal 10 indicates a period during which effective usage of the product samples 102a and 102b can be acquired by inputting the ID 103c on the information input screen provided on the mobile terminal 10. Since the input deadline information 113 is displayed, it is possible to prompt the user to open the delivery item 101 within a predetermined period.

Then, the ID 103c described in the cover letter 103 included in the item to be sent 101 is entered in the ID input area 109a on the input screen displayed on the mobile terminal 10, and when the send button 109b is pressed, the ID 103c is transferred to the mobile terminal. 10 (step 124), the transmitted ID 103c is received by the opening recognition section 27 of the management server 120 via the network 50 (step 125).

In the opening recognition unit 27, when the ID 103c transmitted from the mobile terminal 10 is received, the received ID 103c is described in the cover sheet 103 included in the item to be sent 101. Information indicating that the item 101 has been unsealed is received, and it is recognized that the item 101 to be sent has been unsealed (step 126). Then, in the unsealing recognition unit 27, the fact that the item 101 has been unsealed is registered as an unsealing history. In this way, the management server 120 side can collect the history of whether or not the delivery item 101 has been opened.

Next, the opening recognition unit 27 determines whether the date and time when the cover letter 101 was recognized as being opened is during the campaign period based on the input deadline information 113 displayed in the message 111 sent to the mobile terminal 10 . (Step 127) If it is during the campaign period, the content acquisition unit 28 acquires the corresponding content data from the content database 34 (Step 128). Contents to be transmitted to the mobile terminal 10 are registered in the content database 34 for each item to be sent from the printing system 40 in the same way as the print providing database 31. In the product samples 102a and 102b, moving image data showing how to use the product samples 102a and 102b is registered. In the content acquisition unit 28, the URL registered in the URL database 33 is set for each item sent from the printing system 40 as described above. By recognizing the input screen on which is input, it is possible to search for moving image data as content corresponding to the product samples 102a and 102b included in the delivery item 101. FIG.

The video data showing how to use the product samples 102a and 102b acquired by the content acquisition unit 28 is transmitted from the content screen transmission unit 29 (step 129) and received by the mobile terminal 10 via the network 50. It will be reproduced and output (step 130).

In this way, the recipient of the item 101 to be sent can know that the item 101 will be sent by displaying the message 111 sent on the portable terminal 10 before receiving the item 101 to be sent. . After that, the ID 103c described in the cover letter 103 included in the sending matter 101 and notified is input to the input screen sent to the mobile terminal 10 by specifying the link information 107 embedded in the message 111. In this case, the moving image data showing how to effectively use the product samples 102a and 102b of the item 101 to be sent is transmitted to the portable terminal 10, so that even after the recipient of the item 101 receives the item 101 to be sent, It is possible to receive a service using advance notification by a message indicating that the item 101 will be sent. In addition, the recipient of the item 101 to be sent can obtain usage instructions for the product samples 102a and 102b without accessing a predetermined site or enclosing a CD with the item to be sent.

In this embodiment, it is possible to obtain effective usage of the product samples 102a and 102b only during a predetermined campaign period. A configuration in which the moving image can be reproduced only during a predetermined period after the moving image data is transmitted to the mobile terminal 10 is also conceivable.

Here, if the unsealing recognition unit 27 does not recognize that the delivery item 101 has been opened, the management server 120 may be configured to prompt the opening of the delivery item 101 .

FIG. 15 is a flowchart for explaining the process of prompting the opening of the delivery item 101 when the management server 120 shown in FIG. 8 does not recognize that the delivery item 101 has been opened.

After the message created by the mail creation unit 22 as described above is sent from the mail transmission unit 23 to the portable terminal 10 operated by the recipient of the item 101 to be sent (step 141), the timer 24 displays the display information. The time after the transmission is measured, and when the unsealing recognition unit 27 does not recognize that the delivery item 101 has been unsealed for a certain period of time (steps 142 and 143), the mail transmission unit 23 sends the mobile terminal 10 message is sent again to This process is continued until the unsealing recognition unit 27 recognizes that the delivery item 101 has been unsealed, or until the number of transmissions of the display information to the portable terminal 10 reaches a predetermined number (step 144).

In this manner, the message is transmitted a predetermined number of times to the mobile terminal 10 operated by the recipient of the delivery item 101 until the opening recognition unit 27 recognizes that the delivery item 101 has been opened. You can demand to open the package. At this time, by using the same application for the messages to be sent to the mobile terminal 10, the recipient of the sent item 101 can easily understand that the multiple messages displayed on the mobile terminal 10 are the same notification. can be recognized. In particular, if LINE (registered trademark) is used as the advance notice electronic notification screen, and a plurality of notifications by messages sent from the management server 120 are displayed on one screen of the mobile terminal 10, it is possible that the notifications are the same. Easy to understand.

FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of an advance notice screen using a message sent from the management server 120 to prompt the opening of the item 101 to be sent.

As shown in FIG. 16, whether or not the message 111 shown in FIG. , the number of transmissions of the advance notice screen to the mobile terminal 10 reaches a predetermined number of times, and is displayed in one message window 114 of the mobile terminal 10 together with the time information 112 indicating the reception time. can be considered.

As a result, as described above, it becomes easy to understand that the messages 111 transmitted at regular time intervals are the same notification.
