JPH01278164A - House direct system for newspaper - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To accurately apply the house direct system to a newspaper in a short time by using a subscriber line, and transmitting the newspaper between a newspaper publisher and a distributor, and between the distributer and a purchaser residence in facsimile transmission. CONSTITUTION:The newspaper generated at the newspaper publisher 1 is transmitted to the distributor 2 in facsimile transmission by using a subscriber telephone line A, and is stored in a computer (b) via a facsimile equipment (a). Next, the newspaper is delivered in facsimile transmission to the purchaser residence 3 making a contract with the distributor 2 by using a subscriber telephone line B. And a purchaser can receive the newspaper printed directly from a home facsimile equipment (d), or observe the newspaper as a still picture on a television unit (f) via an adapter (e) which converts a facsimile transmission signal to a video signal. Thus, since the newspaper can be delivered in facsimile transmission by using the subscriber telephone lines A and B, it is possible to apply the house direct system to the newspaper accurately in a short time.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a newspaper delivery system using subscriber telephone lines and facsimiles.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in home delivery of newspapers, a large number of newspapers were first delivered from a newspaper company to each sales store using a transportation facility, and then each sales store manually delivered the newspapers to each purchaser's home.

[Problems to be solved] The conventional newspaper delivery system described above uses transportation facilities to deliver newspapers from the newspaper company to each sales store, so newspaper delivery may be delayed in the event of a weather change such as a typhoon. There was a problem that it was prone to delays or suspension of publication. Furthermore, since the delivery to each purchaser's home was done manually, there was a problem in that it was impossible to prevent the occurrence of erroneous deliveries.

Furthermore, the number of editions of home-delivered newspapers varies depending on the distance between the newspaper company and the purchaser, resulting in the problem that the latest news content is not provided in distant areas.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems.
To provide a new home delivery system that is not affected by weather changes and can reliably deliver accurate new goods to buyers in distant areas within a short time.

[Means for Solving Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the newspaper delivery system of the present invention transmits newspapers from a newspaper company to a retailer by facsimile transmission using a subscriber telephone line.

Note that it is also possible to install a computer in the store, and in this case, it is also possible to manage automatic home delivery and cancellation of home delivery to homes where customers are not home.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a system diagram of one embodiment of the present invention.

In the newly opened home delivery system shown in the figure, first, a newspaper produced by a newspaper company 1 is transmitted by fax to a sales store 2 using a subscriber telephone MAA, and is stored in a computer b via a facsimile a.

Then, in the purchaser's room 3, from the home facsimile d,
You can receive the printed newspaper directly or view it as a still image on a television f via an adapter e that converts a facsimile transmission signal into a video signal.

In this way, this system uses subscriber telephone lines A and B to transmit newspapers by facsimile, making it possible to deliver accurate newspapers in a short time to customers in faraway areas without being affected by weather changes. can do. Moreover, since facsimile transmission is used over a subscriber telephone line, the final version of the newspaper can be delivered to the home if necessary.

Furthermore, by interfacing with the computer b of the store 2, automatic home delivery is possible.

Furthermore, if the purchaser is away from home for a long period of time, the home delivery of the newspaper can be canceled by sending a message to the computer b of the purchaser 2 using the telephone C to cancel the home delivery.

[Effect of the invention] As explained above, the present invention uses a subscriber telephone line,
Since facsimile transmission is used to transmit newspapers between newspaper publishers and retailers and between retailers and purchasers' homes, accurate newspapers can be delivered within a short period of time. This has the advantage that it is also possible to manage things such as canceling home deliveries.
