In the example of FIG. 2, a plurality of management servers 3 having different URLs exist in the content distribution system 10, and a plurality of beacon IDs 13 are associated with the first address information of each management server 3.

When the receiving unit 22 receives the beacon signal and acquires the beacon ID 13 , the processing unit 23 of the terminal device 2 searches the beacon ID field of the beacon list 28 with the beacon ID 13 to acquire the first address information. Then, the server communication unit 25 accesses the management server 3 instructed by the first address information, and transmits the beacon ID 13 and the first language information 29 to the management server 3.

In FIG. 2, as an example, a method of transmitting the beacon ID 13 and the first language information 29 to the management server 3 using the GET method in HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is shown. In this example, the processing unit 23 of the terminal device 2 generates the first address information (the URL of the management server 3), and further includes the beacon. ID13 (bid=nnnn) and the first language information 29 (lang=aa) are the first access information of the URL parameter (query string). Then, the server communication unit 25 accesses the management server 3 based on the first access information, whereby the beacon ID 13 and the first language information 29 can be transmitted as an argument to the CGI of the management server 3 (Common Gateway Interface) , shared gateway interface). Furthermore, instead of the GET method, the beacon ID 13 and the first language information 29 may be transmitted using the POST method.

[Composition of Address Information Database 31]

Fig. 3 is a view showing the configuration of the address information database 31. The management server 3 manages the correspondence between the beacon ID 13 of the beacon device 1 and the content of the content server 4 by the address information database 31.

The address information database 31 has a beacon ID field, a second address information field, a second language information field, and a translation flag field.

In the beacon ID field, the beacon ID 13 of the beacon device 1 is stored in the same manner as the beacon ID field of the beacon list 28.

In the second address information field, the second address information is stored. The second address information includes a URL indicating a location on the network of the content of the content server 4.

In the second language information field, the second language information indicating the language used for the content (document, etc.) indicated by the second address information is stored.

In the translation flag field, a translation flag indicating whether it is necessary to translate the content indicated by the second address information is stored. The translation flag indicates "requires translation" with "1" and "no translation" with "0".

Upon receiving the beacon ID 13 and the first language information 29 from the terminal device 2, the management server 3 searches the beacon ID field of the address information database 31 with the beacon ID 13 and specifies the record. The management server 3 next compares the second language information of the second language information field with the first language information 29, and refers to the translation flag of the translation flag field to generate the second access information.

In the case where the first language information 29 is consistent with the second language information, or the translation flag is 0 (none In the case where translation is required, the management server 3 directly generates the second address information (URL of the content) as the second access information, and returns it to the terminal device 2. Then, when receiving the second access information from the management server 3, the terminal device 2 accesses the content server 4 based on the second access information.

On the other hand, when the first language information 29 is inconsistent with the second language information and the translation flag is 1 (requires translation), the management server 3 generates a message for causing the translation server 5 to translate the second address information. The second access information of the content. In the example of FIG. 3, the management server 3 generates the third address information (the URL of the translation server 5), and further includes the second language information (from=bb), the first language information 29 (to=aa), and The second address information (url=http...) is used as the second access information of the URL parameter. Then, the management server 3 returns the generated second access information to the terminal device 2. When receiving the second access information from the management server 3, the terminal device 2 accesses the translation server 5 based on the second access information, thereby enabling the second language information, the first language information 29, and the second language. The address information is transmitted as an argument to the CGI of the translation server 5.

[action]

Fig. 4 is a sequence diagram showing an operational flow when the content distribution system 10 of the embodiment does not need to translate content.

The beacon apparatus 1 continuously transmits (transmits) a beacon signal including the beacon ID 13 (S11, S12).

When receiving the beacon signal transmitted by the self-confidence target device 1 (S13), the terminal device 2 transmits the beacon ID 13 from which the self-assured tag signal is extracted and the first language information 29 of the terminal device 2 itself to the management server 3 (S14).

Upon receiving the beacon ID 13 and the first language information 29 from the terminal device 2 (S15), the management server 3 searches the beacon ID field of the address information database 31 with the beacon ID 13 and specifies the record.

Secondly, the management server 3 compares the second language information field of the specific recorded record to the second The language information and the first language information 29 received from the terminal device 2 (S16). As a result, when the first language information 29 coincides with the second language information or when the translation flag is 0 (no translation is required), the management server 3 determines that the content is not required to be translated. Upon receiving the information, the management server 3 directly generates the second address information (the URL of the content) as the second access information, and replies to the terminal device 2 (S17).

When receiving the second access information from the management server 3 (S18), the terminal device 2 accesses the content server 4 based on the second access information (S19).

Upon receiving the beacon ID 13 and the first language information 29 from the terminal device 2 (S33), the management server 3 searches the beacon ID field of the address information database 31 with the beacon ID 13 to specify the record.

Next, the management server 3 compares the second language information of the second language information field of the specific record and the first language information 29 received from the terminal device 2 (S34). As a result, when the first language information 29 does not match the second language information and the translation flag is 1 (requires translation), the management server 3 determines that the content needs to be translated. Upon receiving the information, the management server 3 generates a second storage for causing the translation server 5 to translate the content indicated by the second address information. The information is taken and returned to the terminal device 2 (S35). In the example of FIG. 3, the second access information includes the following: the translation server 5 instructing the third address information requests the language indicated by the second address information from the language of the second language information (content The language is translated into the language of the first language information (the language of the terminal device 2) and distributed.

When receiving the second access information from the management server 3 (S36), the terminal device 2 accesses the translation server 5 based on the second access information (S37).

When receiving the access request from the terminal device 2 (S38), the translation server 5 accesses the content server 4 based on the second address information ("url=" after) included in the second access information (S39). .

When receiving the access request from the translation server 5 (S40), the content server 4 replies to the content of the requested HTML document or the like (S41).

When receiving the content from the content server 4, the translation server 5 translates the content into the language of the terminal device 2 (S42), and returns the translated content to the terminal device 2 (S43).

When the terminal device 2 receives the translated content from the translation server 5 (S44), it displays it on the output unit 27 (S45), and ends the series of operations.
