The present invention relates to an information delivery system, an information delivery device, an information delivery method, and an information delivery program for delivering information to each user based on attribute information of a user registered in advance for each user.

Background Art Conventionally, a so-called push type information delivery service that delivers information to a user based on registered contents has been performed. This service is a service in which a user registers the kind of information which a user requests delivery to an information provider in advance, and the information provider delivers the information based on the registration contents for each user.

Specifically, the user registers in advance the kind of information desired to be distributed, for example, fashion, music, sports, and the like. The information provider extracts information according to the registered contents for each user from among a plurality of information managed, advertisements provided by the advertiser, and the like, and transmits the extracted information to the user. Transmission of information is performed by various methods, such as wireless communication, telephone, FAX, and electronic mail.

In addition, it is described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 8-18523 to distribute information to a user who has passed through an automatic ticket gate at a railway station. First, the user possesses a portable storage medium which can be used as a commuter pass. This portable storage medium stores an ID number and a kind of information to be delivered in advance. In addition, the user has a portable information terminal identified by this ID number.

When the user inserts the portable storage medium, the automatic ticket gate reads the field of the ID number and information stored in the portable storage medium, that is, the type of information that the user wants to distribute, and the field of the read ID number and information. To the system management apparatus.

The system management apparatus distributes the information corresponding to the field of the received information to the portable information terminal identified by the received ID number, that is, the portable information terminal possessed by the user.

However, since the information delivery destination and the type of information desired to be delivered are stored in a portable storage medium possessed by the user, the user cannot manage the user such as changing the information delivery destination in the system management apparatus.

In addition, the system management apparatus cannot know the user's attributes such as the gender, age, occupation, etc. of the user who is the destination of the information, but merely distributes the type of information desired by the user. For this reason, there is a problem that the advertiser cannot distribute information that has narrowed the age group, occupation or the like.

Even for the same user, the following purposes are different when entering a facility through an automatic ticket gate and when leaving the facility. For example, a user who enters a station moves to another station and acts near the station. Therefore, the information necessary for the user entering the station is not information near the station in which he entered, but information near another station to be moved from now on. On the contrary, when you leave the station, it acts in the vicinity of the station.

Thus, although the information which is necessary differs between the user who entered the facility and the user who left the facility, in the system of the said publication, the information which distinguished the user who entered and the user who exited was not able to distribute the information.

An object of the present invention is to provide an information delivery system, an information delivery device, an information delivery method, and an information delivery program that can manage a user by allowing a change in information delivery destination.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an information delivery system, an information delivery device, an information delivery method, and an information delivery program capable of delivering information that has narrowed the user base such as age group and occupation.

Moreover, an object of this invention is to provide the information delivery apparatus applied to the information delivery system which improved the service to a user by delivering the information of the content according to the behavior of a user.

The information delivery system of this invention is equipped with the following structures in order to solve the said subject.

(1) reading means for reading the identification code from a recording medium provided at a plurality of stations and recording the identification code of the user who has entered or exited from the station;

A plurality of identification code reading apparatuses having an identification code transmitting means for transmitting the identification code read by the reading means, entrance and exit information indicating the entrance or exit of the user, and current location information indicating the present location of the user;

Identification code receiving means for receiving said identification code, entrance information and present location information transmitted from said identification code transmitting means;

Attribute information storage means for storing an identification code and attribute information indicating the attribute;

Delivery information storage means for storing a plurality of delivery information,

For each identification code stored in the attribute information storage means, different delivery information based on the attribute information is stored for each of the two stations corresponding to the use section included in the attribute information for each entry or exit, the delivery information storage. Distribution information extraction means for extracting from the means;

Extraction information storage means for dividing and distributing the distribution information extracted by the delivery information extraction means for each identification code by station and by entrance and exit;

When the identification code receiving means receives the identification code, the entrance information and the present location information, the distribution information corresponding to the received identification code, the entrance information and the present location information is read from the extraction information storage means, And an information delivery device having delivery information transmission means for transmitting the read delivery information to the delivery destination included in the received attribute information of the identification code.

In this configuration, the identification code of the user recorded on the recording medium is read by the identification code reading apparatus installed at the station, and the identification code of the user, entrance information indicating the entrance or exit of the user, and the user Current location information indicating the present location is transmitted to the information delivery device.

As the identification code reading device, an automatic ticket gate installed at the station can be used. Moreover, as a recording medium which recorded the user's identification code, the commuter pass which a user uses for commuting, attending school, etc. can be used.

The commuter pass records information such as an identification code for identifying the commuter pass, a valid section and an expiration date. The commuter pass is composed of a magnetic card which records these information as magnetic data, a contact IC card recorded by electronic data, a non-contact IC card, and the like.

Automatic ticket gates include automatic ticket gates (automatic ticket gates for entry) that restrict entry into the user's station, and automatic ticket gates (automatic ticket gates for exit) that restrict the exit from the user's station. The automatic ticket gate for entry reads the information recorded in the commuter pass owned by the user, determines whether the commuter pass is valid, and if it is determined to be valid, opens the gate to permit the user to enter the station, On the contrary, if it is determined that it is not valid, the gate is closed to restrict the user's entrance to the station. In addition, the automatic ticket gate for reading out reads the information recorded in the commuter pass owned by the user, determines whether the commuter pass is valid, and if it is determined to be valid, opens the gate to exit the user from the station. On the contrary, if it is determined to be invalid, the gate is closed to restrict the user's exit from the station. For this reason, if the automatic ticket gate that reads the user's identification code is the automatic ticket gate for entry, the user identified by the identification code is the user who entered the station in reverse, and the automatic ticket gate that reads the user's identification code is for the exit. If the automatic ticket gate of, the user identified by the corresponding identification code is the user who has exited from the station. In addition, the present place of a user is a place where the automatic ticket gate which reads the identification code of a user is provided.

Therefore, if the automatic ticket gate stores information indicating entrance, exit, and installed location, the automatic ticket gate that reads the identification code of the user recorded in the commuter pass, the user's identification code and the user's Entrance information indicating entrance or exit and present location information indicating where the user is present can be transmitted to the information delivery device.

The information delivery device receives not only the user's name, sex, age, occupation, but also the user's favorite such as hobbies and preferences, and also the destination of delivery information, that is, the delivery information sent by the user, for each identification code of the user. Various information such as information indicating a device that can be confirmed, a use section, and the like are stored in the attribute information storage means as attribute information. A user of a general commuter pass uses a commuter pass for the movement between two stations which get on and off routinely, and makes use of a commuter pass between these two stations (use section). For example, if a user uses a commuter pass for commuting or attending school, the valid section is between a station near the home and a station near the company or school. However, some users have a valid section of the commuter pass, which includes a section between two stations that get on and off everyday. In this way, the valid section of the commuter pass is not limited to a use section indicating two stations where the user routinely gets off. By providing the use section in the attribute information, it is possible to accurately obtain two stations that the user routinely rides down.

The information delivery device includes a plurality of identification codes each of which has attribute information stored in the attribute information storage means by the distribution information extracting means, i.e., for each user, for two stations corresponding to the use section, for each entry or exit. Distribution information matching the user's attributes (hobbies, preferences, and the like) is extracted from the distribution information storage means in which the distribution information is stored. Doing. In the distribution information storage means, a plurality of distribution information provided from an advertiser such as a company or a store is stored. User of commuter pass per day,

① Enter the station near your home,

② We are sent off from station near company and school,

③ Enter the station near the company or school,

④ We leave from station near home,

It is thought that we pass automatic ticket gate four times in total.

The information delivery device extracts delivery information to be delivered to the user in the case of the above ① to ④ in advance and stores it in the extraction information storage means.

The information delivery device extracts distribution information corresponding to the received identification code, entrance and exit information, and current location information of the user, when the identification code receiving means receives the user's identification code, entrance and exit information, and current location information. The delivery information read here is transmitted to the delivery destination included in the attribute information.

In this way, since the information delivery device extracts the distribution information distributed for each user in advance and stores it in the extraction information storage means, when the identification code transmitted from the identification code reading device is received, the information delivery device immediately delivers the distribution information to the user. I can send it. Therefore, the time until delivery information is transmitted to a user can be shortened. For example, the user who entered the station can deliver the distribution information before the user gets on the train.

Further, in the information delivery device, the attribute information indicating the attribute of the user including the delivery destination is stored in the attribute information storage means, so that the user can be managed, for example, by changing the delivery destination of the delivery information for each user. In addition, by using this attribute information, an advertiser can distribute information which narrowed down the user's age, occupation, etc., and can distribute information efficiently.

In addition, the distribution information may be sent to the distribution information transmission means by electronic mail using a portable telephone owned by the user.

In this case, since the information delivery device does not need to particularly consider the communication distance when transmitting the delivery information to the user's cellular phone, the delivery information can be transmitted to a large number of users with one information delivery device. Therefore, the cost of building the system can be greatly reduced.

In addition, cellular telephones are already widely and widely spread and are owned by many people. Therefore, since the user does not have to prepare a special receiving device for receiving delivery information transmitted from the information delivery device, the burden on the user who is provided with this service is also suppressed.

The distribution information includes various kinds of information such as news, weather forecast, traffic information, as well as advertisements from advertisers such as companies and stores. The delivery information may be paid or free. As paid distribution information, the image data of the singer A, and music information are considered, for example. The delivery information to the delivery information is not limited to the mobile phone, but may be another communication device such as a phone or a FAX device.

In addition, for each automatic ticket gate serving as an identification code reading device, a device code for identifying the automatic ticket gate, an entrance / exit type indicating whether it is for entrance or exit, and information associated with an installation place are registered in the information distribution device. You may leave it. In this case, by transmitting the identification code read by the identification code reading device and the device code of the own device to the information delivery device, the identification code, entrance and exit information, and present location information can be obtained in the information delivery device. The amount of data communicated with the information delivery device can be suppressed.

(2) reading means for reading the identification code from a recording medium provided at a plurality of stations and recording the identification code of the user who has entered or exited from the station,

Extraction information related to the station is extracted.

Usually, a user who enters one station of a use section moves from now on to a station on the other side of the use section by train, so the delivery information sent to the user is no longer relevant to the information associated with the entered station. Information related to the other station of the moving segment to be used is appropriate. In addition, the information related to the exited station is suitable for the delivery information transmitted to the user who exited from one station of the use section.

In this configuration, as information to be delivered at the time of entry into one station of the use section, delivery information related to the other station in the use section is extracted, and as information to be delivered at the time of exit from one station in the use section. Distribution information related to one station of the use section is extracted.

Therefore, it is possible to transmit the distribution information to the user in accordance with the user's future behavior.

(5) The above delivery information extracting means prohibits the delivery information distributed at the time of entrance of one station and the delivery information delivered at the time of leaving the other station become the same delivery information.

In this configuration, the same delivery information can be prevented from being transmitted to the user when entering the station on one side of the use section and when leaving the station on the other side of the use section.

Transmission count counting means for counting the number of times sent by the delivery information transmitting means for each delivery information is provided.

Usually, the amount of money billed to an advertiser is determined according to the number of transmissions. This is because an advertiser who provides delivery information not sent to most users is dissatisfied if the same amount is charged for delivery information not sent to most users and delivery information sent to a large number of users.

In this configuration, since the transmission count counting means counts the transmission count sent to the user for each delivery information, it is possible to charge an appropriate fee for the advertiser.

(14) an identification code receiving means for receiving an identification code of a user who has entered or exited a station, entrance information indicating a user's entrance or exit, and present location information indicating a station where the user has entered and exited,

The identification code extracting means restricts extraction of the identification code with respect to delivery information in which the count value by the distribution scheduled count counting means reaches the distribution limit count.

In this configuration, the predetermined number of times to be transmitted to the user is counted for each delivery information. When this count value reaches the distribution limit number of times, extraction of the identification code by the identification code extraction means is restricted. As a result, the number of transmissions sent to the user of each delivery information does not exceed the distribution limit number of times.

Usually, the amount of advertising costs charged to an advertiser is the amount according to the number of times of distribution of information, ie, the number of transmissions to a user. On the other hand, the advertiser presets the amount of money spent on the advertisement cost. The advertiser can prevent the advertisement cost exceeding the scheduled amount from being charged by setting the distribution limit number of times in the delivery condition. Therefore, the service for the advertiser can be improved.

The delivery information for which delivery is not desired is, for example, an advertiser name if the delivery information is provided from a specific advertiser, and a region name if the delivery information is for a specific region. In addition, in the riding section, the station described on the left in FIG. 4 is a station near the home, and the station described on the right is a station near the office or the school. This riding section corresponds to the use section mentioned in the present invention, and the general user 6 purchases a commuter pass 7 in which the use section is a valid section. Also, these two stations are points related to the present location information referred to in the present invention. In addition, there is a high possibility that these two stations become the current position of the user 6 discriminated from the present location information.

At the time of purchase of the commuter pass 7, the user 6 writes the attribute information on the application sheet, the clerk inputs the attribute information written in the commuter pass issuer 23 and issues the commuter pass 7. The commuter pass issuer 23 transmits the input attribute information to the server device 11 and the information delivery device 31 of the railway company 1.

The user identification code is set at the time of issuance of the commuter pass 7 by the commuter pass issuer 23 as described above, and is transmitted to the server device 11 and the information delivery device 31 together with the attribute information. In addition, the commuter pass issuing device 23 issues a commuter pass 7 in which the valid period, the expiration date, and the user identification code are recorded.

In addition, the user 6 can update his / her attribute information stored in the attribute information storage unit 313 at any timing such as change, addition, and deletion. Specifically, the user 6 can operate the personal computer, access the information delivery device 31 via the Internet 5, and relate to his or her attribute information stored in the attribute information storage unit 313.

In the delivery information storage unit 312 of the information delivery device 31, a plurality of delivery information provided from the advertiser is stored. These delivery information can also add the delivery conditions shown below. The delivery condition is a condition for classifying the user 6 who distributes the delivery information and the user 6 who does not deliver the delivery information, and the advertiser can freely set it. For example, in the case of an advertiser providing delivery information for women, the user 6 who distributes delivery information can be limited to only women. That is, the delivery information can be set so that it is not delivered to men. Moreover, the age group (20s, 30s, etc.) can also be set.

5 is a diagram illustrating an example of delivery information stored in a delivery information storage unit. The delivery information storage unit 312 associates and stores delivery conditions (see FIG. 5 (A)) and delivery information (see FIG. 5 (B)). The delivery information is given with a delivery information number for identifying the delivery information. The example shown in FIG. 5 is a delivery condition which narrowed the user base which distributes delivery information to the woman, the age 20-29 years old, and the person passing through Shinjuku Station. The delivery information number is K0001.

The expiration date of the distribution information is limited to the period from September 1, 2000 to October 31, 2000. After the expiration date, the delivery information is not delivered to the user 6.

The information delivery device 31 classifies the delivery information provided from the advertiser by the type of sports, movies, music, fashion, etc., and further classifies and manages the delivery information. By managing the distribution information in this manner, a process of extracting the distribution information delivered to each user 6 from the distribution information stored in the distribution information storage unit 312 can be performed efficiently, and the time associated with the processing This can be suppressed.

Next, the automatic ticket gate 21 will be described. The automatic ticket gate 21 is a device for restricting the user's entrance to or from the station yard. FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the automatic ticket gate 21, and FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the appearance of the automatic ticket gate 21. As shown in FIG.

The automatic ticket gate 1 includes a control unit 211 for controlling the operation of the main body, a storage unit 212 for storing information used at the time of operation and information generated at the time of operation, and a timekeeping unit for displaying the current time ( 213, a transmission unit 214 for transmitting information to the host device 25, an insertion detection unit 215 for detecting that a ticket such as a commuter pass or a ticket has been inserted into the main body, and a conveyance for transporting the ticket inserted in the main body. The unit 216 is provided with a reading unit 217 for reading data recorded in the conveyed ticket, and a door driving unit 218 for opening and closing the door 218a for restricting the passage of the user 6. . The automatic ticket gate 21 closes the door 218a to prohibit the user 6 from passing through the passage, thereby restricting entry into or exit from the station.

The automatic ticket gate 21 includes an insertion port 216a for inserting a ticket on the right side of the entrance of the passage, and a discharge port 216b for discharging the ticket inserted in the main body on the right side of the exit. Between the insertion port 216a and the discharge port 216b, the conveyance path 216c which conveys a ticket is provided. The insertion opening 216a is provided with an insertion detection sensor 215a for detecting the insertion of the ticket. When this insertion detection sensor 215a detects insertion of a ticket, the conveyance part 216 conveys the ticket inserted into the insertion opening 216a to the discharge port 216b. In addition, the magnetic head 217a reads the data recorded in the ticket being conveyed on the conveying path 216c.

In FIG. 7, if the passage direction is a direction toward the station yard, the automatic ticket gate 21 is for entrance, and if it is a direction toward the outside from the station yard, it is an automatic ticket gate 21 for exit.

The storage unit 214 also stores a gate code for identifying its own device and information indicating whether its own device is for entrance or exit. The gate code corresponds to the current location information referred to in the present invention.

Further, by arranging the automatic ticket gate 21 for entrance and the automatic ticket gate 21 for exiting so as to face each other with the passage interposed, one passage can be used for bidirectional traffic.

Hereinafter, the operation of the information delivery system according to the present embodiment will be described.

First, the flow of information between each device in the information delivery system of this embodiment is demonstrated briefly. 8 shows the flow of this information.

The automatic ticket gate 21 reads information such as a user identification code, an expiration date, an expiration date, and the like from the commuter pass 7 of the user 6. The information delivery device 31 receives the passing information from the automatic ticket gate 21. This passing information includes a user identification code, an expiration date, an expiration date, a gate code, a passing time, and exit information. The details of this passing information will be described later. The information delivery device 31 distributes the distribution information by electronic mail to the mobile phone 8 of the user 6 based on the passing information transmitted from the automatic ticket gate 21. The information delivery device 31 extracts the appropriate delivery information from the distribution information stored in the distribution information storage unit 312 based on the distribution information of the user 6, the distribution condition of the distribution information, and furthermore, the passing information. The extracted distribution information is transmitted to the user 6. The user 6 can confirm the distribution information delivered from the information delivery device 31 in the cellular phone 8.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the automatic ticket gate 21 does not directly transmit the passing information to the information delivery device 31, but the information delivery device 31 through the host device 25 provided in the station 2. Transmits the pass information.

Hereinafter, the operation of the information delivery system of the present embodiment will be described in detail.

First, in order for the user 6 to enter or exit the station, the commuter pass 7 is inserted into the automatic ticket gate 21.

9 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of an automatic ticket gate.

Here, the automatic ticket gate 21 for entrance will be described as an example.

When the automatic ticket gate 21 detects that the commuter pass 7 is inserted into the insertion port 216a by the insertion detection sensor 215a (s1), the conveying unit 216 starts the operation of the conveying path 216c. Then, conveyance of the commuter pass 7 inserted into the shovel inlet 216a is started (s2). The commuter pass 7 is conveyed to the discharge port 216b.

The reading unit 217 reads, by the magnetic head 217a, the user identification code, the validity period, and the validity period recorded in the magnetic data on the commuter pass 7 being conveyed (s3). The control unit 211 determines whether the present is within the valid period read in s3 (s4), and whether or not the station is within the valid period (s5).

When the automatic ticket gate 21 determines that it is within the valid period and is a valid section, the automatic ticket gate 21 transmits the pass information including the user identification code and entrance information to the host device 25 (s6), and opens the door 218a. (s7). The details of the passing information will be described later. This passing information is transmitted from the host device 25 to the information delivery device 31 in real time.

In addition, the automatic ticket gate 21 may be configured to transmit the passing information directly to the information delivery device 31.

When the automatic ticket gate 21 carries the commuter pass 7 to the discharge port 216b (s8), the operation of the conveyance path 216c is stopped (s9). The automatic ticket gate 21 waits for a sufficient time for the user 6 to pass (s10), and then closes the door 218a (s11). Therefore, the user 6 can enter the station yard through the passage.

In addition, the user 6 enters the station yard with the commuter pass 7 returned to the discharge port 216b.

On the other hand, when the automatic ticket gate 21 determines that it is not within the valid period at s4 or when it is determined that it is not a valid section at s5, it determines whether the door 218a is open at s12 (s12), If it is open, the door is closed at s11 to prohibit passage of the passage to the user 6. Therefore, the user 6 cannot enter the station premises through the passage.

Also in this case, the commuter pass 7 is returned to the discharge port 216b and returned to the user 6.

In this way, the automatic ticket gate 21 reads the magnetic data (valid period, validity period, user identification code, etc.) recorded in the inserted commuter pass 7, and permits the user 6 to enter the station yard. It is determined whether or not.

In addition, although the commutation ticket 7 used as the magnetic ticket which recorded the validity section, expiration date, user identification code, etc. as magnetic data here, the well-known contactless IC ticket, the contact IC ticket, etc. may be sufficient, and the portable terminal 8 furthermore, May be used as the commuter pass 7. In this case, the automatic ticket gate 21 can make the insertion detector 215 and the carrier 216 unnecessary. The reading unit 217 may be replaced with a configuration capable of reading a user identification code or the like from the commuter ticket 7.

Here, the passing information transmitted by the automatic ticket gate 21 in s6 will be described. The pass information includes, in addition to the user identification code, the validity period, and the validity interval read from the commuter pass 7, a gate code for identifying the own device stored in the storage unit 212, the passing time of the user 6, and the user. Entry / exit information indicating whether the station entered or exited is included (see FIG. 10). The gate code may be information indicating directly the place where the automatic ticket gate 21 is installed, or may be a number identifying the automatic ticket gate 21 only. In this case, it is good to store the information which can determine the installation place of the automatic ticket gate 21 on the side of the information delivery apparatus 31 as a key.

In addition, the entrance / exit information of the pass information output from the automatic ticket gate 21 for entrance is entrance, and the entrance / exit information of the pass information output from the automatic ticket gate 21 for exit is exit.

In addition, if the automatic ticket gate 21 can determine whether it is for entrance or exit from the gate code, entry / exit information can be made unnecessary.

The host device 25 accumulatively stores the passing information transmitted from the automatic ticket gate 21, and stores the passing information in real time via the information distribution center 3 via the Internet 5 or a public line, In other words, it transmits to the information delivery device 31. In addition, the host device 25 transmits the passage information accumulated and stored at a predetermined timing to the server device 11 provided in the railway company 1. The server apparatus 11 collects and manages the use status of each user 6 by storing and managing the passage information transmitted from the host apparatus 25.

Next, the operation of the information delivery device 31 provided in the information delivery center 3 will be described.

The information delivery device 31 delivers distribution information for each user 6 whose attribute information is stored in the attribute information storage unit 313. The distribution information delivered to each user 6 delivers the distribution information extracted based on the attribute information of the user 6 among the distribution information stored in the distribution information storage unit 312.

The information delivery device 31 of this embodiment extracts delivery information delivered from the delivery information storage unit 312 in advance for each user 6, and extracts delivery information for each user 6 extracted here. Stored in 314, the delivery information extraction process is performed. This delivery information extraction process is performed at night when there is no user 6 using the automatic ticket gate 21.

General commuter pass per day,

① Enter the station near your home,

② We are sent off from station near company and school,

③ Enter the station near the company or school,

④ We leave from station near home,

4 times in total, through the automatic ticket gate. Therefore, the information delivery device 31 assumes that the pass information has been transmitted four times (1 to 4) for each user 6, and extracts the delivery information delivered to the user 6 for each of these four times, and extracts information in advance. The memory 314 stores the memory. This process is the distribution information extraction process. Hereinafter, the delivery information extraction process will be described in detail.

11 is a flowchart showing delivery information extraction processing.

When the information delivery device 31 performs the processes of s21 to s33 shown below for all the users 6 whose attribute information is stored in the attribute information storage unit 313, and completes for all the users 6. (s34), this processing ends. In the order registered in the attribute information storage unit 313, the processes of s21 to s33 are executed.

The information delivery device 31 reads attribute information corresponding to the user identification code from the attribute information storage unit 313 (s21). The information delivery device 31 extracts delivery information to be distributed at the time of entering the station in the vicinity of the home, with respect to the user 6 who has read the attribute information in s21 (s22). At this time, the information delivery device 31 extracts delivery information about a station near the office, using the point related to the station near the home as the station near the office.

In s22, based on the attribute information of the user 6, delivery information is extracted in consideration of the user's hobbies, tastes and the like. Moreover, the information of the vicinity of the destination which is a destination is extracted. In the extraction information storage unit 314, four distribution information storage areas corresponding to the user identification code are allocated to each user 6 (areas A to D) (see Fig. 12). The area A is an area for storing delivery information delivered to the user 6 when entering the station near the home, and the area B is for storing delivery information delivered to the user 6 at the station leaving the workplace. The area C is an area for storing delivery information delivered to the user 6 when entering the station near the workplace, and the area D is delivered to the user 6 when leaving the station near the home. This area stores delivery information. In each of the areas A to D, a delivery information main body to be distributed to the user 6 is stored.

In addition, as for the user 6 whose contents of the areas B and D are absent in FIG. 12, this is because the user 6 does not hope to deliver delivery information at the time of leaving the station. .

The information delivery device 31 stores the delivery information extracted at s22 in the area A of the corresponding user 6 (s23). Next, the information delivery device 31 extracts delivery information delivered to the user 6 at the time of leaving the station near the workplace (s24). At this time, the information delivery device 31 uses the point related to the station near the work place as the station near the work place, and extracts the distribution information about the station near the work place. Therefore, there is a possibility that the distribution information extracted in s24 is the same as the distribution information extracted in s22. For this reason, it is judged whether it is the same as the delivery information memorize | stored in area | region A in s25, and if it is the same, other delivery information is extracted (s26).

Also, when the delivery information is extracted in s24 and s26, the delivery information is extracted based on the delivery condition added to the attribute information and the delivery information of the user 6.

The information delivery device 31 stores the distribution information extracted at s24 or s26 in the area B of the corresponding user 6 (s27).

In addition, the information delivery device 31 extracts delivery information delivered to the user 6 at the station entrance near the workplace (s28). At this time, the information delivery device 31 extracts delivery information about a station near the home, using a point related to a station near the workplace as a station near the home. The information delivery device 31 stores the delivery information extracted at s28 in the area C of the corresponding user 6 (s29).

The information delivery device 31 extracts delivery information delivered to the user 6 at the time of leaving the station near the home (s30). At this time, the information delivery device 31 extracts the distribution information about the station near the home or the information about the next day, using the point related to the station near the home as the station near the home. Therefore, there is a possibility that the distribution information extracted in s30 is the same as the distribution information extracted in s28. For this reason, it is judged whether it is delivery information stored in the area | region C in s31, and if it is the same, other delivery information is extracted (s32).

The information delivery device 31 stores the distribution information extracted at s30 or s32 in the area D of the corresponding user 6 (s33).

Moreover, also when extracting delivery information in s28, s30, and s32, delivery information is extracted based on the delivery condition added to the attribute information and delivery information of the user 6.

As described above, the information delivery device 31 of the present embodiment extracts the distribution information to be distributed at the point related to the station (current information) entered upon entry, and delivers the information. Delivery information to be delivered is extracted with the point related to (current information) as the vicinity of the station which has been left.

Thereby, in the information delivery process mentioned later, it is possible to deliver delivery information according to the entering and leaving in reverse to the user 6. In addition, since s25, s26, s31, and s32 are provided, the same distribution information is not delivered to the user 6 many times.

Next, a delivery process of the information delivery device 31 will be described. 13 and 14 are flowcharts showing delivery processing.

When the information delivery device 31 receives the pass information transmitted from the host device 25 (s41), it corresponds to the received pass information and the user identification code of the pass information stored in the attribute information storage 313. The user 6 uses the attribute information

① Did you enter station near home?

② Did you leave from station near office?

③ Did you enter the station near your workplace?

④ Did you leave from station near home?

⑤ Did you enter in station near home and station except station near the office?

⑥ Whether you left from station near home and station except station near the office,

It is determined (s42 to s46).

When the information delivery device 31 determines that the user 6 has entered the station near the home, the information delivery device 31 determines whether or not the area A corresponding to the user 6 is transmitted (s47). If it is not transmitted in s47, the delivery information stored in the area A is transmitted to the mobile phone 8 of the user 6 by e-mail (s48). The mail address of this mobile phone 8 is registered as attribute information. When the information delivery device 31 delivers the distribution information stored in the area A to the user 6, the information delivery device 31 deletes the delivery information stored in the area A, and rewrites the area A with a transmission fill. (S49). Further, the information delivery device 31 counts up one counter that counts the number of transmissions provided for the delivery information transmitted to the user 6 (s50).

When the information delivery device 31 determines that transmission is necessary in s47, the information delivery device 31 ends this processing without performing the processing of s48 to s50.

The counter is provided for each delivery information stored in the delivery information storage unit 312, and counts the number of times of delivery delivered to the user 6 for each delivery information. Usually, the delivery rate charged for an advertiser is determined in response to the delivery frequency. This is because dissatisfaction occurs between advertisers when the distribution fee is the same in the distribution information not distributed to most users 6 and the distribution information distributed to a large number of users 6. The information delivery device 31 of this embodiment counts delivery times by the said counter for every delivery information, and it is possible to request an appropriate delivery fee for an advertiser.

In addition, when the delivery information stored in the extraction information storage unit 314 is delivered, the delivery information is deleted from the extraction information storage unit 314 and rewritten by a transmission fill. Information is not betrayed.

For example, when a user 6 who enters a station near his / her home to go to work arrives at his / her home to have something forgotten, and enters the station near his home again with the forgotten item, At one time, the distribution information stored in the area A is delivered to the user 6, but when the entry is re-entered into a station near the home with the forgotten item, the area A has already been transmitted, and the user 6 The same delivery information is never delivered.

In addition, when the same delivery information is delivered to the same user 6 times, the user 6 may not only feel troublesome, but also cause waste to the claimed delivery fee for the above-mentioned reasons, which is undesirable.

Further, in the processing of s42 to s46, if it is determined that the user 6 has exited from the station near the workplace, it is determined whether the area B is to be sent (s51). The delivery information stored in B) is delivered (s52), the area B is rewritten by the transmission fill (s53), and the counter for counting the number of transmissions provided for the transmitted delivery information is counted up one step (s50). .

Further, in the processing of s42 to s46, if it is determined that the user 6 has entered the station near the workplace, it is determined whether the area C is to be sent (s54). The delivery information stored in C) is delivered (s55), the area C is rewritten by the transmission fill (s56), and the counter that counts the number of transmissions provided for the transmitted delivery information is counted up (s50). .

Further, in the processing of s42 to s46, if it is determined that the user 6 has exited from the station near the home, it is determined whether the area D is to be sent (s57). The delivery information stored in D) is delivered (s58), the area D is rewritten by the transmission fill (s59), and the counter that counts the number of transmissions provided for the transmitted delivery information is counted up (s50). .

When the information delivery device 31 determines that the user 6 enters a station other than the station near the home and a station near the workplace in the processing of the above s42 to s46, the user 6 is about to go there from now on. Since the destination cannot be determined, the processing is terminated without transmitting the distribution information. Thereby, it is not necessary to distribute delivery information to the user 6 without need.

Finally, when the information delivery device 31 determines that the user 6 exits from a station near the home and a station other than the office near the office in the processing of s42 to s46, the user 6 Delivery information relating to the exited station vicinity and delivery information based on attribute information of the user 6 and delivery conditions are extracted from the delivery information storage unit 312 (s60). The information delivery device 31 transmits the distribution information extracted at s60 to the mobile phone 8 of the user 6 by e-mail (s61), and then performs the above s50.

In this way, the information delivery device 31 of the present embodiment provides s46, s60, and s61 to the user 6 even when the user 6 gets off at the station in the valid section of the commuter pass 7. You can distribute information near the station where you got off.

Moreover, since the information delivery device 31 employ | adopted the structure which extracts the distribution information delivered to the user 6 beforehand, and stores it in the extraction information storage part 314, the user 6 from the host apparatus 25 is carried out. When the passing information of) is transmitted, the distribution information can be immediately transmitted to the user 6. Therefore, when the user 6 enters the station, delivery information can be transmitted to the user 6 before boarding the train.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described. The information delivery system according to the embodiment stores the delivery information main body extracted in the delivery information extraction process shown in FIG. 11 in the areas A to D of the corresponding user 6 provided in the extraction information storage unit 314. In this embodiment, however, the delivery information number added to the delivery information is stored.

Hereinafter, the delivery information extraction process in the information delivery device 31 of this embodiment is demonstrated.

In addition, the operation | movement of the automatic ticket gate 21, the data recorded in the commuter pass 7, etc. are the same as that of the said embodiment, and description is abbreviate | omitted here. The attribute information for each user 6 stored in the attribute information storage unit 313 is also the same.

15 is a flowchart illustrating delivery information extraction processing according to the information delivery device of the present embodiment.

In addition, about the process similar to FIG. 11, the same step number (s **) is attached | subjected.

The information delivery device 31 executes the above-described processes of s21 and s22, and stores the delivery information number added to the extracted delivery information in the area A of the corresponding user 6 (s71). When the information delivery device 31 performs the above-described processes s24, s25, and s26, it stores the delivery information number added to the extracted delivery information in the area B of the corresponding user 6 (s72). In addition, when the information delivery device 31 performs the above process s28, it stores the delivery information number added to the extracted delivery information in the area C of the user 6 (s73). Further, when the information delivery device 31 performs the above-described processes of s30, s31, and s32, the information delivery device 31 stores the delivery information number added to the extracted delivery information in the area D of the corresponding user 6 (s72).

When the processes of s21 to s74 are executed for all the users 6 storing the attribute information in the attribute information storage unit 313, the process ends.

16 is a diagram showing the contents of storage of the extraction information storage unit. As in the case shown in FIG. 12, four areas A to D are allocated to each user 6. However, in each of the areas A to D, the delivery information number added to the delivery information is stored, not the delivery information main body to be delivered to the user 6. Therefore, the storage capacity of the extraction information storage unit 313 can be made smaller than in the above embodiment. In the present embodiment, the extraction information storage unit 313 corresponds to the distribution number storage unit mentioned in the present invention.

Next, the delivery process of the information delivery device 31 of this embodiment is demonstrated. Although the delivery process of the information delivery device 31 of this embodiment is substantially the same as the process shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, the process of s48, s52, s55, s58 differs. Specifically, these four processes are operated by substituting the processes of s81 to s83 shown in FIG. 17, respectively.

The information delivery device 31 reads the delivery information number stored in the area * (s81). In this case, the area * indicates any one of the areas A to D, the area A when the process is replaced with s48, and the area B when the process is replaced with s52, and the process is replaced with s55. Is the area (C), and is the area (D) when the process is replaced with the process of s58.

The information delivery device 31 searches delivery information stored in the delivery information storage unit 312 using the delivery information number read in s81 as a key, and reads delivery information to which the corresponding delivery information number has been added ( s82). The information delivery device 31 transmits the delivery information read in s82 to the cellular phone 8 of the user 6 by e-mail (s83).

In addition, the information delivery device 31 of the present embodiment also deletes the delivery information number and rewrites the transmission fill in the area in which the delivery information delivered to the user 6 is stored, similarly to the device of the above embodiment.

As described above, when the information delivery device 31 of the present embodiment transmits the delivery information to the mobile phone 8 of the user 6, the information delivery device 31 reads the corresponding delivery information from the delivery information storage unit 312 and transmits it. Therefore, the correction in the case where there is an error in the distribution information stored in the distribution information storage unit 312 can be easily performed. Specifically, it is only necessary to correct the distribution information stored in the distribution information storage unit 312. For this reason, the effort regarding correction of distribution information can be reduced.

Moreover, in the information delivery system of the said embodiment, correction | amendment was needed for every user identification code about the delivery information stored in the extraction information memory | storage part 313. FIG. In other words, it was necessary to correct each of the same large number of delivery information.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the delivery information of the present embodiment, a limit number of times for limiting the number of times of delivery information is set as the delivery condition. The advertiser can limit the number of times of delivery information by this limited number of times. For example, by limiting the number of times to 300, the number of users 6 or more per year is not distributed.

Hereinafter, the delivery information extraction process in the information delivery device 31 of this embodiment is demonstrated.

In addition, the operation | movement of the automatic ticket gate 21, the data recorded in the commuter pass 7, etc. are the same as that of the said embodiment, and description is abbreviate | omitted here. The attribute information storage unit 313 also has the same attribute information for each user 6 stored therein.

18 is a diagram illustrating delivery information extraction processing in the information delivery device of the present embodiment.

The information delivery device 31 executes the processes of s91 to s96 shown in FIG. 18 for each of the delivery information stored in the delivery information storage unit 312, and performs the above process for all the delivery information. Quit. The processes of s91 to s96 are performed in order stored in the delivery information storage unit 312.

The information delivery device 31 reads delivery information and delivery conditions (s91). Next, for each user 6 whose attribute information is stored in the attribute information storage unit 313, a user identification code of the user 6 whose attribute information satisfies the delivery condition is extracted (s92). In the extraction information storage unit 314, areas A to D shown in FIG. 12 are provided.

The information delivery device 31 stores the distribution information in the corresponding area of the user identification code read in s92 (s93). The information delivery device 31 counts up one counter that counts the number of times of delivery scheduled for this delivery information (s94). The information delivery device 31 determines whether or not the count value of the counter counting the number of times of scheduled delivery reaches the limit number of times included in the delivery condition of this delivery information (s95).

If the information delivery device 31 determines that the number of scheduled distributions has not reached the limit number of times in s95, the attribute information is delivered to all users 6 whose attribute information is stored in the attribute information storage unit 313 in s96. It is determined whether to judge whether or not the condition is satisfied (s96). The information delivery device 31 returns to s92 and repeats the above process if the user 6 who has not determined whether the attribute information satisfies the delivery condition in s96 remains. If it is determined in s96 that there is no user 6 who has not made the determination, the process proceeds to s97 shown below.

On the other hand, when the information delivery device determines that the number of scheduled distributions has reached the limit number of times in s95, the information delivery device determines whether or not to perform the process after the above s91 with respect to all delivery information stored in the delivery information storage unit 312. (s97). If the information delivery device 31 determines that there is delivery information for which no processing after s91 is performed at s97, the information delivery device 31 returns to s91 and repeats the above processing. If the information delivery device 31 determines that there is no delivery information for which the processing after s91 has not been performed in s97, this processing ends.

Therefore, the total number stored in the extraction information storage unit 314 for each delivery information does not exceed the limit of this delivery information.

The delivery process of the information delivery device 31 of this embodiment is the same as that of FIG. 13, FIG. 14, and description is abbreviate | omitted here. The delivery information transmission process

As described above, in the delivery information extraction process, the information delivery device 31 of the present embodiment does not exceed the limit of this delivery information in the total number stored in the extraction information storage unit 314 for each delivery information. For this reason, in each delivery information, the delivery frequency does not exceed the limit number of times.

On the other hand, the advertiser is charged as an advertisement cost for the number of times the information is delivered, that is, the number of times of transmission to the user 6. The advertiser presets the amount of advertising expenses. Therefore, the advertiser can prevent the amount of money charged from the information delivery center 3 from exceeding the intended advertisement cost by setting the number of times of delivery in the delivery condition. Therefore, the service to the advertiser can be improved.

In this case, the extraction information storage unit 314 may be configured to store a distribution information number shown in FIG. 16.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described. Although the structure of the information delivery system of this embodiment is substantially the same as the said embodiment, it differs by the point that the information delivery apparatus 31 does not have the extraction information storage part 314. FIG.

In addition, since operation | movement of the automatic ticket gate 21, the data recorded in the commuter pass 7, etc. are the same as that of the said embodiment, description is abbreviate | omitted here.

19 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the information delivery device of the present embodiment.

When the passing information is transmitted from the host device 25, the information delivery device 31 determines whether the passing information indicates the entrance of the user 6 into the station yard or the exit from the station yard. (S101, s102).

When the information delivery device 31 determines that the user 6 enters the station yard at s102, the corresponding user (from the attribute information storage unit 313) uses the user identification code included in the pass information as a key. Attribute information of 6) is obtained (s103). From the attribute information obtained here, it is determined whether or not the user 6 who wishes to distribute the delivery information (whether or not it is a delivery hope) is returned (s104), and if not, the process returns to s101 and repeats the above process.

If it is determined in s104 that the user 6 is a delivery candidate, then from the plurality of distribution information stored in the distribution information storage section 311, different distribution information based on the attribute information of the user 6 obtained in s103 is extracted. The delivery information extraction process is executed (s105). The details of this delivery information extraction process will be described later.

Next, the information delivery device 31 determines whether the user 6 wishes to deliver the delivery information at the time of entry or exit at the time of entrance (s106), and if so, the information delivery device 31 extracts the delivery information extracted at s75. The delivery process to be transmitted to the user 6 is executed (s107), the process returns to s101 and the above process is repeated. The detail of this delivery process is also mentioned later.

On the other hand, if the user 6 wishes to deliver delivery information at the time of exiting, the user 6 is registered in the distributor list described later (s108), and the process returns to s101 and the above process is repeated. Details of the distributor list will be described later.

In addition, when the passing information from the host device 25 indicates the exit from the station premises of the user 6 in s102, whether or not the user 6 is a user registered in the distributor list. It determines (s111). As is clear from the above description, the user 6 registered in the distributor list is the user 6 who wishes to deliver delivery information at the time of leaving the station premises. Therefore, in s111, the attribute information of the user 6 may be obtained, and it may be determined whether or not the user wishes to deliver the delivery information at the time of leaving the station yard.

When the information delivery device 31 determines that the user 6 is registered in the distributor list, the information delivery device 31 executes the information delivery process for the user 6 in s102, and the user 6 is determined from the distributor list in s103. After deleting the registration, the process returns to s101 and the above process is repeated.

In addition, the information delivery process concerning said s107 and the information delivery process concerning s112 are the same process.

Next, the delivery information extraction processing relating to s105 will be described in detail. 20 is a flowchart showing delivery information extraction processing.

In the information delivery device 31, as described above, the delivery information is classified by type, and further classified and managed under delivery conditions. The information delivery device 31 extracts only delivery information that the user 6 wishes to distribute based on the attribute information of the user 6 obtained in s103.

Specifically, among the distribution information stored in the information delivery device 31, the distribution information of the type that the user 6 wishes to distribute is the distribution condition added to the distribution information, and the attribute information of the user 6 is provided. All distribution information matching with is extracted (s121). Next, if the delivery information extracted in s121 contains delivery information that the user 6 does not want to deliver, the delivery information is removed (s122). As for the delivery information that the user 6 does not wish to distribute, the information is set in the attribute information as described above. Then, as the delivery information for delivering the remaining delivery information to the user 6, delivery data to be transmitted to the user 6 is created (s123).

The delivery data is created in a data format previously designated by the user 6. The distribution data referred to here may be electronic mail, or may be of another format such as an image or a voice. When creating distribution data by electronic mail, the delivery information main body may be an attached document or may be incorporated in the mail main body.

The transmission destination and the transmission method of the delivery data created in s123 are set in the attribute information of the user 6. For example, the mail address set in the attribute information is a transmission destination.

In this manner, in the information delivery device 31, a plurality of delivery information is classified by type and further classified and managed under delivery conditions. For example, regarding a group of delivery information other than the type desired by the user. Can be ignored as it is the distribution information other than a search target collectively in s121. Therefore, the time taken for the processing of s121 can be suppressed, and the processing can be performed efficiently.

In addition, if the delivery information extracted in s121 contains delivery information that the user 6 does not want to deliver, which is set as attribute information, the delivery information is removed from s122, so that the user 6 It is possible to almost reliably prevent the dancing and unnecessary distribution information from being distributed, and to efficiently distribute the distribution information.

In addition, in the process of s121, the information of the area which is not related to the vicinity of the getting off station of the user 6 is not extracted. The getting off station of the user 6 is obtained from the information of the valid section of the commuter pass 7. In addition, the delivery condition corresponding to the delivery information includes an item for limiting the region (in the example shown in Fig. 5, the user is via Shinjuku Station). Therefore, since the information of the area which is not very related to the user 6 is not extracted, it is possible to prevent distribution of unnecessary distribution information to the user 6.

Further, in the information delivery device 31, the passing information transmitted from the host device 25 is stored for each user 6 cumulatively, and the subsequent behavior of the user 6 using these information. The pattern may be predicted, and the behavior pattern predicted here may be used to extract delivery information in s121. In this manner, it is possible to more reliably prevent the user 6 from extracting dancing and unnecessary distribution information. For example, by predicting whether the user gets off or overriding on the way and performing the process of s21 based on the prediction result, it is more reliably prevented from extracting the useless and unnecessary distribution information for the user 6. can do.

Next, the information delivery process concerning s107 and s112 is explained in full detail. 21 is a flowchart showing information delivery processing. This process is a process of reading the delivery data created in step s123 (s131) and transmitting the delivery data (s132). For example, if the distribution data created in s123 is an electronic mail, the distribution data is transmitted to the cellular phone 8 of the user 6 by electronic mail.

As described above, the mail address included in the attribute information of the user 6 is the mail address of the mobile telephone 8 of the user 6. Therefore, the user 6 can confirm the e-mail transmitted from the information delivery device 31, that is, the distribution information, in the mobile phone 8.

By using the mobile telephone 8 of the user 6 as the transmission destination to which the information delivery device 31 transmits the delivery information, a special receiving device (special reception) for receiving delivery information from which the user 6 is transmitted as in the prior art. It is not necessary to prepare a mobile phone having a function). Therefore, the burden on the user 6 can be suppressed and the said service can be received under a reasonable infrastructure.

In the conventional system, in order to transmit the distribution information to the user 6, a radio base station had to be provided for each station due to problems such as a communication distance, but in this system, the information distribution device 31 and the mobile telephone 8 ), And the installation location of the information delivery device 31 need not be particularly considered. The information delivery device 31 may be provided only in the information delivery center 3. As a result, the cost for constructing the system is greatly reduced.

In addition, when transmission of delivery information to the user 6 is congested, even if the user 6 whose transmission is delayed leaves from the station, there is no problem that delivery information cannot be transmitted to the user 6. . In addition, it is also possible to predict the time-zone during which the delivery of information is congested from the distribution list, and to use this prediction result to perform deliberate information distribution.

Next, the details of the distributor list registration processing in s108 will be described. Fig. 22 is a flowchart showing a distributor list registration process. 23 is a diagram showing a distributor registration list.

The information delivery device 31 estimates the time when the user 6 reaches the disembarkation station (s141). The getting off station of the user 6 is one station (the station on the other side of the station entered) of the valid section of the commuter pass 7. The time (the estimated time of arrival) at which the user 6 reaches the disembarkation station can be estimated almost accurately. For example, in the estimation of s141, using the operating timetable of the train, it is possible to predict the train on which the user 6 boards, and to accurately estimate the time when the user 6 reaches the getting off station.

In addition, by using the past usage situation, the type (usually, rapid speed, etc.) of the train on which the user 6 boards is also obtained, so that the time at which the user 6 reaches the disembarkation station can be estimated more accurately. .

In the distributor registration list, the registrant's records are listed in the order of arrival estimation time as shown in Fig. 23A. This record is a record in which the estimated time of arrival, the user identification code, and the electronic mail created in s123 are associated as shown.

The information delivery device 31 creates the record in which the estimated time of arrival is estimated at s141 (s142), and registers it in the distributor list (s143).

In s143, the created record is registered so that each record is listed in the arrival estimation time order in the distributor registration list. For example, with respect to the list of distributors shown in FIG. 23A, a new record (record shown in hatching in FIG. 23B) created in s42 is shown in FIG. 23B. It is registered at a position listed in the order of arrival estimation time.

Therefore, the information delivery device 31 judges whether the getting off station of the user 6 is in the getting off station obtained from the valid section of the commuter pass 7, and if it is the getting off station obtained from the valid section of the commuter pass 7 (user If (6) does not get off on the way), the delivery data (s123) transmitted to the user 6 in s112 by searching for a record in which the estimated time of arrival reaches the distributor list 10 within a range of several ten minutes before and after the current time. Distribution data created in step 1) can be obtained.

In addition, when the discharging station of the user 6 is not the discharging station obtained from the valid section of the commuter pass 7 (when the user 6 gets off on the way, etc.), the user 6 is valid for the commuter pass 7. It is good to estimate the arrival time when it moved to the getting off station obtained from a section, and to search for the record whose arrival estimation time is in the range of several minutes before and after the arrival time estimated here. Thereby, delivery data (delivery data created in s123) to be transmitted to the user 6 can be obtained.

In this way, the information delivery device 31 can obtain delivery data transmitted to the user in s112 above by searching narrowed to a part of the records registered in the distributor list.

In addition, when the user 6 gets off on the way, instead of transmitting the delivery data created in the above-mentioned s123 as it is, the extraction of the delivery information near the station on the way off is performed again, and then the delivery information extracted here is added to the user 6. May be sent to the. In this way, the delivery information of the station vicinity which disembarked on the way to the user 6 can also be distributed, and the information according to the getting off of the user 6 etc. can be delivered.

In addition, the user 6 may be sent to the user at the time of entering the station yard or at the estimated time of arrival of the getting off station. At this time, the timetable and the delay guidance of the train may be transmitted. The guide map in the station yard and the necessity of transmission of the timetable to the user may be performed based on the attribute information described above.

In addition, in the advertiser, by adding the above delivery condition to the delivery information, the user 6 to which the delivery information is delivered can be carefully selected, and efficient advertisement can be performed. For example, delivery information for women is not delivered to men.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the above embodiment, the timing of transmitting delivery information to the user 6 is either at the time of entering the station yard or at the exit of the station yard, but in the present embodiment, the user 6 reaches the disembarkation station. The transmission was performed by a predetermined time earlier than the estimated time (estimated time). Therefore, the user 6 can confirm delivery information transmitted in the train. The user 6 can predetermine the behavior after leaving the station yard of the getting off station.

Hereinafter, the information delivery system which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated in detail. The information delivery system of this embodiment is also the structure shown in FIG.

24 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the information delivery device according to the present embodiment.

If there is no pass information transmitted from the host device 25 in s151, the information delivery device 33 jumps to s158 which will be described later.

If there is the pass information from the host device 25, it is determined in step 152 whether it is the pass information at the time of entry, and if it is at the time of entry, attribute information of the user 6 is retrieved (s 153). In addition, when it exits, it jumps to s158 mentioned later.

In s154, it is determined whether the user 6 is a user who wants to distribute delivery information. If the user does not desire the distribution information, he jumps to s158 described later.

In s155, the delivery information extraction process shown in FIG. 20 is executed. The processes of s151 to s155 are the same processes as the processes of s101 to s105 described in the above embodiments.

The information delivery device 31 estimates the getting-off station arrival time of the user 6 in s156. This processing of s156 is the same as the processing of s141 in the above embodiment.

The information delivery device 31 registers in the distributor list shown in FIG. 25 a predetermined time, for example, 15 minutes and a time earlier than the drop-off station arrival time estimated at s156, as the scheduled transmission time. The predetermined time is set to a time sufficient for the user 6 to confirm the contents of the delivery information that has been transmitted. Further, in the attribute information of the user 6, this predetermined time may be set. This predetermined time can be set, for example, 10 minutes after entering the station yard or 15 minutes before the estimated time of arrival.

The difference between the distributor list shown in FIG. 25 and the distributor list shown in FIG. 23 in the above-described embodiment is that the estimated arrival time in FIG. 23 is the transmission scheduled time.

The information delivery device 31 transmits the delivery data created in s123 to the user 6 registered in this record, if there is a record in the distributor list that has passed the transmission scheduled time (s158, 159). Then, the record in which the delivery data is transmitted in s159 is deleted from the distributor list (s160), and the process returns to s151 to repeat the above process.

As described above, in the information delivery system of the present embodiment, the user 6 distributes the delivery information before a predetermined time until the user arrives at the disembarkation station. Thus, the user 6 is moving the behavior after leaving the station yard at the disembarkation station. You can decide on.

Moreover, other embodiment of this invention is described. In the above-described information delivery system, only distribution information near the disembarkation station of the user 6 is distributed with respect to delivery information with regional limitations. However, in the present embodiment, this station is assigned to a specific station which is set in advance. The delivery information near the station was also distributed to the user 6 who passed. As the specific station, for example, a station near the entertainment district or a drop-off station such as Shinjuku or Shibuya can be considered. The specific station may be set in the attribute information of the user 6 irrespective of the valid section or the like.

Fig. 26 is a flowchart showing the operation of the information delivery device of the present embodiment. When the information delivery device 33 of this embodiment performs the process of s151-s157 shown in FIG. 24 (it abbreviate | omits in FIG. 26), the use section of the user 6 (validity of the commuter pass 7 is effective). It is determined whether or not the specific station exists within the interval (s161). If there is a specific station in the use section of the user 6, the information delivery device 31 is delivery information near the specific station, among the distribution information stored in the delivery information storage unit 312, and further includes the user 6 Attribute information and delivery information with appropriate delivery conditions are extracted (s162). The information delivery device 33 creates delivery data including delivery information extracted in s162 (s163). Here, the transmission destination of the distribution data created in s163 is also the portable telephone 8 of the user 6.

In addition, the information delivery device 31 assumes the time when the user 6 reaches a specific station (s164), and sets the time forwarded by a predetermined time earlier than the time estimated here as the transmission scheduled time, and the distributor shown in FIG. Register in the list (s165).

The information delivery device 33 executes the process after s158 shown in FIG. 24 when the process of s165 is completed.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the distribution information in the vicinity of the station can also be delivered to the user 6 passing through the specific station. Further, for a user having a plurality of the specific stations, distribution information near the station is distributed to all stations.

The delivery information near this particular station is also distributed before the user 6 passes the particular station, as is clear from the above description. Therefore, when the user 6 has distribution information which is anxious, it is also possible to stop by and stop by, and the service to the user 6 is further improved.

In addition, in the information delivery device 33, the passing information notified from the host device 25 may be accumulated and stored, and the behavior pattern of each user 6 may be obtained from these passing information. By extracting the distribution information delivered to the user 6 by using the user's past behavior patterns, for example, getting off or overriding, etc., it is more certain that unnecessary distribution information is transmitted to the user 6. Can be prevented.

In addition, the timing at which the delivery data is transmitted to the user 6 and the scheduled transmission time may be determined using the behavior pattern. In this way, delivery information can be transmitted to the user 6 at an appropriate timing.

In the above embodiment, the delivery information is transmitted to the mobile telephone 8 possessed by the user 6, but may be transmitted to the mail address set in the user's home or the personal computer of the company. It is also possible to transmit to an telephone having a function of receiving an electronic mail. It may also be transmitted to a fax machine. Furthermore, you may transmit by voice mail.

In addition, although the said embodiment showed the example which distributes delivery information to the user 6 using the commuter pass 7, the user using another ticket, for example, a ticket, a designation ticket, a limited express ticket, and a far-field ticket This service may also be provided for (6). The attribute information of the user 6 may be registered or updated at the time of ticket issuance or reservation acceptance. In this way, the user 6 who came to a business trip or sightseeing can provide the information regarding a business trip destination or a tourist destination, for example, the vacancy information of a hotel.

The information delivery system can also be used as a system in which an automatic ticket gate 21 is provided at an entrance of a store, and the delivery information of specially sold items in the store is distributed to the user 6 who enters the store. Moreover, in this system, since the use time and the pattern which come to a store can also be collected for every user 6, efficient sales promotion activity to the user 6 can be performed.

In the information delivery device 31, if the delivery history of the delivery information is managed, the advertiser can be informed, for example, of the number of transmissions for each age group.

The delivery information stored in the delivery information storage unit 312 of the information delivery device 31 may be updated via the Internet 5.

For example, an advertiser accesses the information delivery device 31 via the Internet 5, and transmits a delivery information update request including delivery information and authentication data to be updated to the delivery information storage unit 312. The information can be configured to be updated.

FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing an update process of delivery information stored in the delivery information storage unit 312. If there is a request for updating the delivery information (s171), the information delivery device 31 determines whether the authentication data included in the delivery information update request is appropriate (s172). Regarding this, update of registration, addition and deletion of delivery information is performed (s173). If the authentication data is not appropriate, the distribution information is not updated.

Therefore, the advertiser can obtain the effect that the delivery information stored in the delivery information storage unit 312 can be easily updated. In addition, since authentication data is required, delivery information is not updated at will by anyone other than the advertiser, and security can be sufficiently secured.

The authentication data may be a password or fingerprint data (pattern data of a fingerprint) or iris data (pattern data of a retina).

In addition, the attribute information of the user 6 may also be configured to be updated via the Internet 5.

Specifically, the user 6 accesses the information delivery device 31 via the Internet 5 and transmits an attribute information update request including attribute information and authentication data to be updated in the attribute information storage unit 314. By doing so, the attribute information may be updated.

Fig. 28 is a flowchart showing an update process of attribute information. If there is an attribute information update request (s181), the information distributing device 31 determines whether or not the transmitted authentication data is appropriate (s182). If the authentication data is appropriate, the information distributing device 31 transmits the corresponding attribute information. Update based on the information (s183). If the authentication data is not appropriate, the attribute information is not updated.

Therefore, the user 6 can simply update the attribute information stored in the attribute information storage unit 313. Moreover, since the authentication data is required for updating the attribute information, the attribute information is not updated by others at will, and security can be sufficiently secured.

Also in this case, the authentication data may be a password or may be fingerprint data (pattern pattern data) or iris data (pattern data of the retina).

In addition, the information delivery device 31 manages the attribute information of the user 6 with a user identification code recorded in the commutation ticket 7. On the other hand, after the expiration date, the commuter pass 7 cannot be used to enter or leave the station. Therefore, after the expiration date of the commuter pass 7, the user identification number changes because a new commuter pass 7 is purchased. For this reason, the user 6 needs to register attribute information again.

On the other hand, the user 6 of the general commuter pass 7 purchases a continuing commuter pass when the expiration date of the commuter pass 7 approaches. The continuation commuter pass is a commuter pass issued in exchange for the commuter pass 7 nearing the valid period at the time of purchase, and can be purchased from a few days before the validity period.

Thus, the user identification code shown in FIG. 29 may be configured to be automatically updated. At the time of issuance of a continuation commuter pass, the user identification code (hereinafter referred to as an old user identification code) recorded in the commuter pass 7 nearing the expiration date from the commuter pass issuer 23 and the newly issued continuation pass are recorded. The notification of issuance of a continuation pass including a user identification code (hereinafter referred to as a new user identification code) is sent to the information delivery device 31.

When the information delivery device 31 receives the continuous commutation pass issuance notice from the commutation pass issuer 23 (s191), it reads the old user identification code and the new user identification code included in the continue commutation pass issue notice (s192).

The information delivery device 31 searches the attribute information storage unit 313 using the old user identification code as a key, and determines whether or not the attribute information of the corresponding user 6 is stored (s193). If the attribute information of the corresponding user 6 is stored, the information delivery device 31 rewrites the user identification code of the user into a new user identification code (s194).

Thereby, since the user 6 who purchased the continuation commutation ticket 7 does not have to register the attribute information again, there is no problem that the service cannot be received by the end of the validity period of the commutation ticket 7.

Moreover, in the said embodiment, although demonstrated with the system which distributes the delivery information provided from the advertiser to the user 6, it is also possible to provide the following services from a railroad company, for example.

For example, when the operation of a train is stopped due to the occurrence of an accident or a disaster, for the user 6 using the section where the operation of the train is stopped, the notice of occurrence of an accident, a disaster or a detour route, an alternative means of transportation, etc. The mobile phone 8 of the user 6 can be notified.

Specifically, the information delivery device 31 extracts the user 6 affected by the suspension of the train from the attribute information managed by the user management device 32 (s201), and extracts the user ( 6), the accident, the occurrence of a disaster, the detour route, and the alternative transportation means are transmitted to the user's cellular phone 8 (s202) (see Fig. 30).

The transmission regarding s202 can be performed by sending the same information to the user 6 extracted in s201.

Further, the information delivery device 31 can distinguish between the user 6 who has already entered the station yard and the user 6 who has not entered the station yard from the pass information transmitted from the host device 25. It may be. Moreover, about the user 6 who did not enter the station premises, it can also be estimated whether it is near work, a school, or home. Using these, only the user 6 who is affected by the above-mentioned s201 and who does not enter the station yard may be extracted. Since the user 6 who has already entered the station premises recognizes the occurrence of an accident, a disaster, a detour route, and an alternative means of transport by announcement or the like in the station yard, there is no problem even if this information is not transmitted.

By doing in this way, the transmission amount of the information to the user 6 can also be suppressed, and operation cost can be held down.

In addition, although the said embodiment transmits the accident, the occurrence of a disaster, the detour route, and the alternative transport means to the user 6, the guide map in the yard of a transit station, and the movement route to the home for the user 6 near a transit station Etc. may be transmitted. In addition, the user 6 may be led to the transfer home by voice mail.

In addition, if it is lunch time when you arrive at the transfer station, you may send a guide to the place of meal in the station yard. In this way, it also leads to distribution information effects and sales improvements of restaurants and retail stores installed in the station premises.

The transmission destination of delivery information can also be set as a telephone and a FAX apparatus as shown below.

For example, when the user 6 enters the station yard or exits, the information distributing device 33 calls the user's home telephone and asks a family member at home about "19:13". Minutes passed through the ticket gate of AAA station. We can provide service that conveys message such as "We are going home from now." The message may also be transmitted by fax.

In addition, when the user 6 enters the station yard, when a predetermined time has elapsed from the entrance, when the user exits, etc., the information delivery device 31 calls the home telephone of the user 6, and is a well-known home. By using automation, a service for starting the operation of the home air conditioner can also be realized.

In addition, when the user 6 is close to a transfer station or an unloading station, the user can also send an awakening mail to prevent the override of the user 6.

In this manner, in this information delivery system, various services can be provided to the user 6 as well as delivery of delivery information.

In addition, delivery information may be transmitted to a user traveling by car using a toll road. Here, a user identification code is obtained at the entrance or exit of the toll road using a toll road pass, for example, a highway card of a self-winding type, a window mounter of an electronic toll collenction system (ETC), or the like.

Specifically, each time the user purchases a pass, the attribute information of the user 6 is registered in a manner almost similar to that at the time of issuance of the commuter pass 7 in the above embodiment. In addition, by including a telephone number, a car registration number, or the like in the attribute information of the user 6, once registered, the input of the attribute information of the user 6 may be unnecessary at the time of purchase of a subsequent pass.

When the right of passage is used, the user 6 can be identified from the information stored in the right of passage and the attribute information of the registered user 6 can be obtained. In addition, since the user identification code can be obtained at the entrance or exit of the toll road even when using the ETC, if the user 6 whose attribute information is registered, the attribute information of the user 6 can be obtained.

As delivery information transmitted to this user 6, the information of the area vicinity from the toll road is considered similarly to the said embodiment. In addition, while the toll road is running, road facilities (parking area, service area, etc.), congestion or place of congestion, information around the road, weather forecast, etc. on the toll road can be transmitted. If such information is not transmitted unless the user 6 uses the toll road, unnecessary distribution of information can be suppressed.

In this case, since the information is transmitted to the driver, it is preferable that the transmission form of the information be a voice message (hands free), a voice mail or the like.

When the destination of the user 6 can be predicted, for example, if the user 6 uses a toll road that is a dead end of a mountain climbing road or the like, for example, the destination of the user and the time at which the destination is reached. Can be estimated. In such a case, road information according to the traveling position can be transmitted. For example, it is possible to provide timely information to the user, such as "Be careful about freezing at the aaaa point" and "Blane regulation is being performed at the bbb point."

Moreover, delivery information can also be transmitted to the user 6 moving using an airplane. The boarding pass of an airplane is the same as the commuter pass 7 and limited express ticket which concerns on said embodiment from the point which can obtain the boarding plane, destination, etc. which board | subject. It is sufficient to register the attribute information of the user at the time of booking or issuing the boarding pass.

The time when the user 6 checked in at the counter of the airport can be used as the passing timing of the automatic ticket gate 21 in the above embodiment. At this timing, it is determined that the user 6 has arrived at the airport, and the plane to be boarded by the check-in is determined, so that delivery information to be sent to the user 6 can be extracted.

In addition, it is possible to transmit guide information for guiding up to the boarding gate, or to transmit a message for prompting the passenger to the passenger who is near the boarding time. In addition, if the security check gate is provided with the same function, it is possible to determine in which area in the airport the user 6 is located and to transmit information according to where it is.

Moreover, since the destination map of the user 6 can also be specified, the information according to the destination can also be transmitted.

In addition, since the use of electronic devices is prohibited during the boarding, no information is transmitted to the user 6 passing through the boarding gate and into the cabin, so that unnecessary information can be prevented from being transmitted. have. Moreover, when the plane which the user 6 boarded arrives at the destination, and the said user 6 has exited the plane from the plane, transmission of the information about the said user 6 may be resumed.

Moreover, in recent years, since the information of the user 6 obtained by the fusion with the member card service is abundant, it is also possible to use the member information as attribute information. By doing in this way, the effort which concerns on the registration of the attribute information of the user 6 is also suppressed.

In addition, a service that collectively transmits information for all members can be realized.

It is also possible to transmit information to the user 6 traveling by ship, for example, a ferry or the like.

As described above, according to the present invention, since the user's attribute information is stored in the information delivery device, the user can be managed, such as a change of the delivery destination of the delivery information.

In addition, since the advertiser can set a user base that distributes information, the advertiser can efficiently distribute information to the user.

Moreover, since the information of the content according to the user's action can be delivered, the distribution of unnecessary information to the user is suppressed. Therefore, the cost of distributing unnecessary information can be suppressed, and the user can be freed from the hassle when unnecessary information has been transmitted.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention can be applied to the distribution of various information such as advertisements, weather forecasts, traffic information, etc. to communication devices such as mobile phones carried by the user.
