The startup instruction receiving section 121 that constitutes the terminal receiving section 12 receives a startup instruction that is an instruction to start an application. The startup instruction is, for example, an instruction received by double-clicking the app icon.

Here, reception refers to the reception of information input from input devices such as keyboards, mice, and touch panels, reception of information sent via wired or wireless communication lines, and recording of information such as optical disks, magnetic disks, semiconductor memory, etc. This is a concept that includes receiving information read from a medium.

The application execution unit 131 performs application startup processing. The application startup process is a process of starting an instructed application in response to a startup instruction received by the startup instruction receiving unit 121.

The motion information acquisition unit 132 performs motion information acquisition processing. The movement information acquisition process is a process of acquiring movement information of the terminal device 1 accepted by the terminal reception unit 12. The motion information acquisition process is, for example, a process of acquiring a set of information from a gyro sensor. Further, the motion information acquisition process may be, for example, a process of acquiring the tilt of the terminal device 1 (including whether it is oriented horizontally or vertically, etc.) from a collection of information from the acceleration sensor. Further, the motion information acquisition process may be, for example, a process of acquiring the orientation of the terminal device 1 from a collection of information from a geomagnetic sensor. Further, the motion information acquisition process may be, for example, a process of acquiring a set of position information from a GPS receiver. The motion information acquisition unit 132 acquires motion information of the terminal device 1 while the application is running. The motion information acquisition unit 132 usually acquires motion information of the terminal device 1 while a predetermined specific application is activated.

Note that the motion information acquisition unit 132 does not care about the timing at which it stops acquiring a series of motion information. The motion information acquisition unit 132 may stop acquiring the motion information when the speed of motion of the terminal device 1 becomes smaller than a threshold value or when it stops. Furthermore, the motion information acquisition unit 132 may stop acquiring motion information in response to a user's instruction.

The application information acquisition unit 133 performs application information acquisition processing.

Here, application conditions include, for example, that a specific screen is being output among the screens that the application can output, conditions regarding the value of a specific property held by the application, and conditions that the application is operating in a predetermined manner. etc.

When the electronic membership card output unit 141 outputs an electronic membership card, the membership card usage information acquisition unit 135 acquires membership card usage information that is information related to the usage of the electronic membership card. The membership card usage information usually includes a member identifier that identifies the member and an application type identifier that identifies the type of application. The membership card usage information may include location information indicating the location of the terminal device 1. Further, the membership card usage information may include current time information. It is assumed that the member identifier is stored in the terminal storage unit 11, for example. For example, it is assumed that the member identifier is stored in the terminal storage unit 11 in association with the application. It is assumed that the application type identifier is stored in the terminal storage unit 11, for example. For example, it is assumed that the application type identifier is stored in the terminal storage unit 11 in association with the application.

The terminal output unit 14 outputs various information. The various types of information include electronic membership cards, application screens, application operation results, and the like.

The electronic membership card output unit 141 configuring the terminal output unit 14 outputs the electronic membership card in the electronic membership card storage unit 112 when the determination unit 134 determines that the conditions are satisfied.

Preferably, when the movement information satisfies a predetermined movement condition, the electronic membership card output unit 141 outputs one electronic membership card corresponding to the movement condition.

The electronic membership card output unit 141 outputs an electronic membership card when the application satisfies predetermined application conditions and when the determination unit 134 determines that the movement condition is satisfied.

As described above, the determination unit 134 may determine whether the application conditions are satisfied. Alternatively, the motion information acquisition section 132 may determine whether or not the application conditions are satisfied, and only when the application conditions are satisfied, the motion information acquisition section 132 may acquire the motion information. Further, the electronic membership card output section 141 may determine whether or not the application conditions are satisfied, and only when the application conditions are satisfied, the electronic membership card output section 141 may output the electronic membership card.

The terminal transmitter 15 transmits various information, instructions, and the like. The various information and instructions include, for example, membership card usage information. The destination of various information, instructions, etc. is a server device (not shown). A server device (not shown) is, for example, the member management device 22 described in the second embodiment.

The membership card usage information transmission unit 151 transmits the membership card usage information acquired by the membership card usage information acquisition unit 135 to the server device.

Although the terminal storage section 11, the application storage section 111, the electronic membership card storage section 112, and the movement condition storage section 113 are preferably non-volatile recording media, they can also be implemented using volatile recording media.

The process by which information etc. are stored in the terminal storage unit 11 etc. does not matter. For example, information etc. may be stored in the terminal storage unit 11 etc. via a recording medium, and information etc. transmitted via a communication line etc. may be stored in the terminal storage unit 11 etc. Alternatively, information input via an input device may be stored in the terminal storage unit 11 or the like.

The terminal processing unit 13, the application execution unit 131, the motion information acquisition unit 132, the determination unit 134, and the membership card usage information acquisition unit 135 can usually be realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like.

However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

The terminal output unit 14 and the electronic membership card output unit 141 may or may not include output devices such as a display and a speaker. The terminal output unit 14 may be realized by output device driver software, output device driver software and the output device, or the like.

The terminal transmitting section 15 and the membership card usage information transmitting section 151 are usually realized by wireless or wired communication means, but may also be realized by broadcasting means.

Next, the operation of the terminal device 1 will be explained using the flowchart of FIG.

(Step S201) The startup instruction receiving unit 121 determines whether or not an application startup instruction has been received. If the activation instruction is accepted, the process goes to step S202, and if the activation instruction is not received, the process goes to step S203.

(Step S202) The application execution unit 131 executes the application. This execution is initially a startup process. Return to step S201.

(Step S203) The terminal reception unit 12 determines whether motion information has been received. If motion information is accepted, the process goes to step S204; if no movement information is received, the process goes to step S213. Note that the terminal reception unit 12 continuously receives information on angle or angular velocity from a gyro sensor included in the terminal reception unit 12 at all times, for example, from when a change larger than a threshold value occurs until a change smaller than the threshold value occurs. Get a set of information. Note that the change greater than the threshold value means, for example, that the change in angle or angular velocity per unit time is greater than the threshold value. Further, the change smaller than the threshold value means, for example, that the change in angle or angular velocity per unit time is smaller than the threshold value.

(Step S204) The motion information acquisition unit 132 acquires the motion information accepted in step S203. The motion information acquisition unit 132 may process the information received in step S203 to obtain motion information used in the determination process. For example, the motion information acquisition unit 132 processes the information received in step S203 to obtain motion information that is the number of times the terminal device 1 has been swung, or information on a pair of the direction (orientation) of the terminal device 1 and the number of times that it has been swung. You may obtain it.

(Step S205) The determining unit 134 assigns 1 to the counter i.

(Step S206) The determining unit 134 determines whether the i-th motion condition exists. If the i-th motion condition exists, the process proceeds to step S207, and if the i-th movement condition does not exist, the process returns to step S201. Note that the motion conditions are stored in the motion condition storage section 113.

(Step S207) The determining unit 134 determines whether the motion information acquired in step S204 matches the i-th motion condition. If the i-th motion condition is met, the process goes to step S208, and if the i-th motion condition is not met, the process goes to step S212.

(Step S208) The terminal processing unit 13 acquires the electronic membership card corresponding to the i-th movement condition from the electronic membership card storage unit 112.

(Step S209) The electronic membership card output unit 141 outputs the electronic membership card acquired in step S208.

(Step S210) The membership card usage information acquisition unit 135 acquires membership card usage information. The membership card usage information acquisition unit 135 usually acquires the member identifier stored in the terminal storage unit 11, acquires the application type identifier of the running application, and has the member identifier and the application type identifier. Configure membership card usage information.

(Step S211) The membership card usage information transmitting unit 151 transmits the membership card usage information acquired in step S210 to a server device (not shown). Return to step S201. It is assumed that information for communicating with the server device (eg, IP address, etc.) is stored in the terminal storage unit 11.

(Step S212) The determining unit 134 increments the counter i by 1. Return to step S206.

(Step S213) The terminal reception unit 12 determines whether or not other instructions have been received. If other instructions, etc. are accepted, the process goes to step S214, and if no other instructions, etc. are accepted, the process returns to step S201. Note that other instructions and the like include, for example, processing for operating an application, instructions and information requested by the application, and the like.

(Step S214) The terminal processing unit 13 performs processing according to other instructions and the like. Return to step S201.

In addition, in the flowchart of FIG. 2, the application information acquisition unit 133 may acquire application information and determine whether the motion information matches the motion condition only when the application information satisfies the application condition. Further, in the flowchart of FIG. 2, it is preferable that the electronic membership card is output or the membership card usage information is transmitted only when the movement information satisfies the movement condition and the application information satisfies the application condition.

Furthermore, in the flowchart of FIG. 2, if the acquired motion information matches two or more motion conditions, two or more electronic membership cards may be output.

Further, in the flowchart of FIG. 2, the process is terminated by turning off the power or by an interrupt to terminate the process.

The specific operation of the terminal device 1 in this embodiment will be described below.

Currently, the electronic membership card storage unit 112 of the terminal device 1 stores the electronic membership card management table shown in FIG. The electronic membership card management table stores one or more records having "ID", "motion condition ID", and "electronic membership card". "ID" is information that identifies a record. "Motion condition ID" is information that identifies a motion condition. "Electronic membership card" stores an electronic membership card with a code. The code is information in which a member identifier is embedded, and is, for example, a barcode, a QR code (registered trademark), or the like. The electronic membership card management table is a table for managing electronic membership cards in association with movement conditions.

Furthermore, the motion condition storage unit 113 stores a motion condition management table shown in FIG. The motion condition management table has "ID", "motion condition", "application condition", and "meaning". "ID" is information that identifies a record. "Motion condition" indicates a motion condition. The "motion condition" here indicates a condition that the output (x) of the gyro sensor must satisfy. The motion condition of "ID=1" is "(1) the time when the output (x) of the gyro sensor is greater than x ₁ continues for more than n (n is a positive number) seconds, and (2) the output of the gyro sensor (x) is less than -x ₁ for at least n seconds (n is a positive number). Furthermore, the motion condition for "ID=2" is "(1) The direction of the terminal device 1 is vertical, and the time period during which the output (x) of the gyro sensor is greater than x ₁ is n (n is a positive number) seconds. (2) The direction of the terminal device ₁ is vertical, and The time period in which the output (x) of the gyro sensor is greater than x ₁ continues for n (n is a positive number) seconds, and the time period in which the output (x) of the gyro sensor is less than -x ₁ continues for n (n is a positive number) seconds. (3) The direction of the terminal is horizontal and the output (x) of the gyro sensor is greater than x ₁ for more than n (n is a positive number) seconds, and the gyro This indicates that the sensor output (x) remains smaller than _-x1 for at least n seconds (n is a positive number). Moreover, "application conditions" indicate the conditions of the application. The record with “ID=1” has no application conditions. Further, the application condition "while leaves are falling" for "ID=2" indicates that the application has been activated and the operation in the application is "while leaves are falling." Note that whether or not "leaves are falling" can be obtained from the running application. Further, the "meaning" is information that describes the operation of the terminal device 1 that matches the "motion condition". Note that the above “x ₁ ” is a constant.

It is also assumed that the terminal storage unit 11 stores a member identifier (here, "10001").

In this situation, the following two specific examples will be presented. Specific example 1 is a process of outputting an electronic membership card when motion information matching a condition is acquired while the application is running. In specific example 1, application conditions are not considered. Specific example 2 is a process of outputting an electronic membership card when the application satisfies predetermined application conditions and movement information matching the movement conditions is acquired.
(Specific example 1)

It is assumed that the user inputs a startup instruction for one application stored in the terminal storage unit 11 of the terminal device 1. Here, the one application is, for example, "Ponta Time" (see URL: "http://www.ponta.jp/c/app/"). It is assumed that the application type identifier of the application "Ponta Time" is "ap01". It is assumed that an application type identifier "ap01" is stored in the terminal storage unit 11 in association with the application "Ponta Time".

Next, the startup instruction receiving unit 121 receives a startup instruction for the one application. Then, the application execution unit 131 starts the application. Then, the application execution unit 131 starts the application. An example of such a screen is shown in FIG.

Next, suppose that the user shakes the terminal device 1 once while the first application is running.

Next, the terminal reception unit 12 receives movement information of the terminal device 1 . This motion information includes "terminal direction=horizontal" and continuous angular velocities "x ₂ ", "x ₃ ", . . . "x _α ". Then, the motion information acquisition unit 132 acquires motion information (“terminal orientation=horizontal” and continuous angular velocities “x ₂ ”, “x ₃ ”, . . . “x _α ”).

Next, the determining unit 134 obtains the first motion condition from the motion condition management table of FIG. It is assumed that the determining unit 134 determines that the acquired motion information matches the first motion condition.

Next, the terminal processing unit 13 acquires the electronic membership card corresponding to the first movement condition from the electronic membership card storage unit 112. Then, the electronic membership card output unit 141 outputs the acquired electronic membership card. An example of the output of the electronic membership card is shown in FIG.

Next, the membership card usage information acquisition unit 135 acquires the member identifier “10001” stored in the terminal storage unit 11, acquires the application type identifier “ap01” of the running application, and combines the member identifier with Membership card usage information (10001, ap01) having the relevant application type identifier is configured.

Next, the membership card usage information transmitting unit 151 transmits the membership card usage information (10001, ap01) to a server device (not shown).

The server device receives the membership card usage information (10001, ap01) and manages that the app identified by the app type identifier "ap01" is used by the member identified by the member identifier "10001". . Note that such management processing may be a process of accumulating membership card usage information, a process of accumulating an application type identifier “ap01” in association with a member identifier “10001”, or a process of accumulating the application type identifier “ap01” in association with the member identifier “10001”. It may be a process of accumulating the number of times the app has been used in association with the type identifier "ap01" (a process of incrementing the value of the number of uses by 1), or it may be associated with the member identifier "10001" and the app type identifier "ap01". It may be a process to store the time (time when the app was used) by attaching the tag, or to store time (time when the app was used) and location information by associating it with the member identifier "10001" and the app type identifier "ap01". It may also be a process of accumulating .

In Specific Example 1, the user shows the electronic membership card displayed on the terminal device 1 to the store clerk and makes a purchase.
