201019255 六、發明說明: 發明所屬之技術領域 本發明係關於在一實體地點購買物俾 <7員域,特別係 關於一種用以購買數位内容並予以下鄱s 、 戟主—數位儲存設備 之方法及平台。本發明係亦關於一種配入却亚^ σ綠十台所使用之 輔助設備。 【先前技術】 許多民眾持有意見係認為採用線上購物之逐漸增加最 終將使實體店面失去其對於貨品及服務之銷售管道^重要 性。然而,即便大量的線上購物網站及交易逐年增加很 少有顯現的跡象係指出實體店面失去其作為銷售管道的重 要性。儘管不是唯-銷售管道,實體店面仍然报可能係將 維持一重要性。 假設許多實體店面位於在各別城市中被視為象徵(例 如·台北的台北101 ( Taipei 101 )、舊金山的漁人碼頭 (Flsherman’s Wharf)、吉隆坡的雙子塔(petr〇nas TwinBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to the purchase of a physical property <7 member domain at a physical location, in particular with respect to a type of content for purchase and downloading of digital content. Method and platform. The present invention is also directed to an auxiliary device for use in a sub-system. [Prior Art] Many people hold opinions that the gradual increase in online shopping will ultimately make physical stores lose their sales pipeline for goods and services. However, even if a large number of online shopping sites and transactions increase year by year, there are few signs that the physical storefront loses its importance as a sales channel. Although not a sales-only pipeline, physical storefronts are still likely to maintain an importance. Assume that many physical storefronts are considered to be symbols in separate cities (eg Taipei 101 (Taipei 101), San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf, Kuala Lumpur's Petronas Towers (petr〇nas Twin)
Towers )、倫敦的騎士橋(Knight Sbridge )、洛杉磯的羅迪 歐大道(Rodeo Drive )等)之建物或地點,實體店面在未 來被認定為不需要而影響許多世界著名象徵之一角色及存 在係不可能的。 然而不可否認,線上購物的興起係已經導致實體店面 需要修補其經營模式以適應現代消費者的需求。在過去, 於實體店面所貯存之各種貨品及其數量係將受限於實體店 201019255 面内可取用的樓板面積及儲存/擱置空間的一總額。總會有 需要係藉由隨著店到店變化之種類及數量的平衡來=衡實 體店面中貯存的各種貨品及其數量。有害的是:假如貨品 缺貨的實例係、經常發生在商店面臨對於特定f品的需^ 增或進貨流程沒有效率時。 —實體店面在貨品缺貨時經常遭遇的一共同實例係在Buildings or locations in Towers, London's Knight Sbridge, Los Angeles's Rodeo Drive, etc., physical stores are identified as unwanted in the future and affect many of the world's famous symbols and presences impossible. However, it is undeniable that the rise of online shopping has led to physical storefronts needing to mend their business models to meet the needs of modern consumers. In the past, the variety of goods and their quantity stored in physical storefronts will be limited by the total amount of floor space and storage/shelving space available in the store 201019255. There is always a need to balance the variety of goods and their quantity stored in the storefront with the balance of the type and quantity of store-to-store changes. What is harmful is that if the goods are out of stock, it often happens when the store is facing an increase in the demand for a particular product or the in-stock process is inefficient. - A common example of a physical storefront often encountered when goods are out of stock

For example, @5A shows a wired connection $1〇8, a memory card slot 11〇, and a second receiver 112 as a part of the field storage device 1〇2. The first accepting chain 1G1 can also be listed in the second acceptor 112, and each of the accepting bodies 10"2 is for a different type/type/form of the digital storage device 100. In general, each of the receivers 101, 112 in each of the receivers 1 '1 '112 for different models/types/forms of the digital storage device 100 may have, for example, different connectors, different width slots, and different depths. and many more. These memory cards are used in conjunction with the Secure Digital Memory Card (SD), Micro Flash Memory Card (CF), Digital Digital Graphics Card (xd), 乂 and "It" cards, and so on. In addition, the digital storage device (10) can also use, for example, a Bluetooth device, a wireless fidelity technology (•), a third-generation mobile phone (3G), and a general packet radio service (GPRS). Wireless technology is known to be wirelessly coupled to the field storage device 102. When the digital storage device 1 is wirelessly connected to the physical storage device 102, the digital storage device 1 can still be placed and locked in the memory card slot 11 of the physical storage device 102 or Accepted in bodies 101, 112. Referring to Figures 1 and 2A, in subsequent method 2 wipes, the digital storage device 100 is locked (24) in the first receptor 1〇1. The locking operation of the digital storage device 1 can be enabled by removing the selected device 104 ( 26 ) from the jack 106 of the physical storage device 1 〇 2 . When the number 201019255 bit storage device 100 is placed in the memory card slot 110 or the first and second receivers 101, 112, etc., the locking operation of the digital storage device 1 can cover, for example, the The memory card slot 11 or the openings of the first and second receivers 101, 112 are used to anchor the digital storage device 100 using a lockable connection mechanism. As long as the selected device 104 is not placed in the jack 1〇6, the locking operation of the digital storage device 1 ensures that the digital storage device 100 is present at the physical storage device 1〇2. 10 the selected device can be used to unlock the digital storage device from the first receiver 101 of the field storage device 1 and to select the method 20 for purchase (28) ) digital content. Referring to Figure 6 which is a schematic diagram showing one of the selected devices 1, 4, the selection device 104 can include a data reader 6〇2. The data reader 6〇2 can be used to obtain information about the digital content that the user wants to select. "Hai data s seller 602 can be selected from, for example, a radio frequency (rf) receiver, a bar code reader, a serial number reader, a visual indicator reader, or any combination of the foregoing. The selected device may also allow the user to enter information about the digital content that the user desires to select. The information can also be entered using the input button 604 or using the indicator 6G6 on the selected device j 〇 4 for the touch sensitive screen. The selected device 1() 4 includes a wireless receiver 608 that enables the wireless transmission of the information to the repository. The transmission system of the Bessie to (4) storage bank can (4) transmit the information to the field: the storage-and-replacement 1G2 4 selection device 1 () 4 series will be described in more detail in the subsequent chapters. The information transmitted to the repository 90 contains both the lifetime of the content of the digital content. The use of the digital content is 'for a long time or a preset time period (it is similar to borrowing, except that it does not need to reply to the digital content). The identification of the digital content and the expiration date of the f in the digit can determine a component of the digital content of the digital content. 0 is the playback right of the digital content-digit packet to the method 2G of FIG. 1, and the information received from the selected device 1〇4 is processed at the storage 9G (3〇) to determine; The number selected by the user is 4. The field storage facility (10) also has a data processing machine. The processing action of Xiao Zi Ting in the health store 9 can also be completed in the field storage. After processing the information at the repository 9G, the repository 90 is capable of determining the number (4) selected by the user for input to the digital storage device 1 of the user. The repository 90 then determines whether the digital storage device i can support inter-resolution digital content (32). If the digital storage device (10) is capable of supporting high-resolution digital content, the repository 9 downloads the same-resolution version of the digital device to the digital storage device (34). If the digital storage device 100 is unable to support high-resolution digital content, the repository 90 downloads one of the digital content non-high-resolution versions to the digital storage device (36). It should be understood that the high resolution version of the digital content presents a compressed digital file format that can be decompressed to display high resolution digital content. In one instance where the digital storage device 100 does not have a media playback function, the repository 90 can look through the selected device 1 to find a high resolution version from the 201019255 user regarding whether to prefer the selected digital content. Or a confirmation of a non-high resolution version. Alternatively, the method 20 can be configured to make it known that if the non-high resolution version of the digital content is less likely to occur on the compatibility/playback issue, then only the non-high resolution version of the digital content can be It is provided to a digital storage device that does not have a media playback function. In the method 20, the repository 9 determines whether the digital content selected by the user is selected by the other users at the location 2 at a frequency of one of the preset numbers (38). . If at least one of the digital content selected by the user is simultaneously (4) higher than the frequency of the (four) fixed shirt by the other user at the location 2, the digital content is stored in the physical storage device 102 and Obtained from the field storage device 102 (40). The digital content downloaded from the physical storage device 1() 2 compared to the digital content downloaded from the remote storage device is downloaded to the 4-digit storage device 丨QQ at a faster rate. If the user selects the digital content: at least - the other user at the location 200 is selected at a frequency lower than the predetermined number, then the digital content is stored, and the remote storage is set to 93. Obtained from the remote storage device Μ 42). Compared to the digital content downloaded from the physical storage device 102, because the data transfer is inherently limited in extending the physical distance, the digital content carried from the remote storage device 93 is at a slower rate. It is downloaded to the digital storage device 100. The Λ repository 9G next determines whether the digital storage device 1 (9) has sufficient space for the contents of the digits (44). If the repository and the storage device 100 do not have sufficient space (46) to accommodate the selected digital content 17 201019255, the user can receive a first indication on the digital storage device to notify the digital storage. The device 100 does not have sufficient space for the indication. The first indication may be provided by the indicator unit 612 of the selected device 1G4 as shown in FIG. 6, and the transmission from the storage unit is transmitted and received by the one of the selected devices 1〇4 (4). receive. The first indication on the selected device HM can include, for example, a visual indication, an audible indication, a vibratory indication, or any combination of the foregoing. Herein, the digital storage device 100 does not have a sufficient number of workstations for accommodating the selected digital content. The selected digital content can be written, for example, such as disk media, portable solid-state memory, and One of the analogs is in a portable storage device. For its part, the field storage device W can also include - facilities/functions to write material on disk media. The health library 90 then determines whether a modification action (order) has been made for one of the digital content selections (48). The modifying action may be performed using the selected device 104, and the modifying action is, for example, deselecting a location valley, selecting additional digit content, changing one of the digital content, or taking any action of any combination of the foregoing. . After deselecting one of the at least one digits Φ- /s| Λ, the deselected number is downloaded to the digital storage device 1〇0's valley will be deleted from the digital storage device 1 〇〇 value At the time, ^ A1. The digital content downloaded to the digital storage device 100 does not contain a digital packet containing the playback time (52). Digital content that does not have this digital packet will be — ’, adjusted and may not be played back on any media device/application. 18 201019255 Referring to Figures 1 and 5B through 5E, the user then initiates a transaction--transaction (54) during the method 2 to purchase the digital content. Referring to Figure 5b, the user can select a "Process Checkout" 150 option on the display 6 of the selected device 104 to initiate a transaction to purchase the digital content. After selecting the "Checkout" 150 option, the user places the selected device 104 back into a jack 106 of the physical storage device 1A2 as shown in Figure 5C. The user can then select a "confirm purchase" 160 option on the screen 114 to conduct the transaction. The transaction may be in the form of, for example, a face-to-face transaction with one of a character, an interaction with one of the payment machines (as shown), a string of instructions executed via the Internet, or any combination of the foregoing. In the example shown in Figure 5D, the user uses a credit card 170 at the field storage device 102 to pay for the purchase. Once the digital content transaction is completed, the digital content of the digital content is downloaded to the digital storage device 100. Preferably, the field storage device 1 2 is capable of accepting alternative payment modes other than the credit card 170, such as, for example, a savings account link transaction card, a stored value card, enabling third party transactions, and the like. Finally, the digital storage device can be removed from the physical storage device 102 (52) after the transaction is completed. Referring to Figure 5, the selected device 104 can be placed within the jack 106, which unlocks the digital storage device 100 accordingly. Therefore, following the unlocking action of the digital storage device, the selected device 104 is maintained at the physical storage device 1 〇2. A power source of the selected device 104 can also be charged while being placed in the jack 丨〇6. Before the selected device 104 is placed in the jack 1〇6 to unlock the digital 19 201019255 storage device 100 from the physical storage device 102, the selected device 104 can receive thereon the number of digits A second indication that the download is completed. The second indication may include, for example, a visual indication, an audible indication, a shock indication, or any combination of the foregoing.

As previously described, the selected device 104 can be used to unlock the digital storage device 100 from the first recipient 1 of the physical storage device 102 and to select the digital content to be purchased. In one example, when at least one of the digits selected by the user is simultaneously selected by another user at the location 200 at a frequency greater than a predetermined number, the digital content is stored in the field store. Device 1〇2 and directly obtained from the physical storage device 1〇h compared to the digital content downloaded from the remote storage device 93, the digital content downloaded from the physical storage device 1〇2 is faster The rate is downloaded to the digital storage device 100° or 'in-real money, when at least one of the digits selected by the user is simultaneously selected by other users at the location at a frequency lower than the predetermined number The digital content is stored in the remote storage device 93 and retrieved from the remote storage device 93. Compared to the digital content of the field storage device 1G2, since the f-material transfer has an inherent network limit on the extension=distance, the downloaded from the remote storage device 1: the digital content is downloaded at a slower rate. To the digital storage device T, in the real money, when the physical storage device (10) determines that the digital storage device 100 can support the high resolution number of the digital content - the high resolution sound η *, the money storage 90 system downloads the version to The digital storage device. False 201019255 If the digital storage device 1 cannot support high-resolution digital content, the repository 90 downloads one of the digital content non-high-resolution versions to the digital storage device. In an example, when the digital storage device 1 does not have a media playback function, the repository 90 can search through the selected device 1 to find a high resolution from the user regarding whether or not the selected digital content is preferred. Confirmation of version or a non-high resolution version. Alternatively, if the non-high resolution version of the digital content is less likely to occur on the compatibility/playback issue, then only the non-high resolution version of the digital content can be provided to the digital storage device 100 without media playback capabilities. . It should be understood that the high resolution version of the digital content is presented in a compressed digital file format that can be decompressed to display high resolution digital content. In an example, when the physical storage device 102 determines that the digital storage device 100 does not have sufficient space to accommodate the selected digital content, the user can receive a first indication notification on the digital storage device 100. The digital storage device 100 does not have an indication of sufficient space. The first tie is not available from the indicator module 012 of the selected device 104, and the transmission from the remote storage 90 is received by the wireless transceiver g 6G8 of the selected device 1〇4.
