Description

Service delivery system using barcodes

The present invention relates to a system for providing various services using bar code of a specific system as an input means of data and control commands to a computer.

The “bar code of a specific system” targeted by the present invention means that the numerical value of a predetermined number of digits represented by the bar code is regarded as numerical data, and the contents of the instruction to the computer are classified into types by the numerical data. It is a bar code system that uses numerical data in a hierarchical manner.

Hereinafter, a barcode having the above-described barcode system is referred to as "town code" in the present specification. The “Town code” is currently under application for trademark registration by the applicant of this patent. Background art

At present, systems that sell various services and products using the Internet are in widespread use. On the other hand, barcodes are widely used in the field of merchandise management and sales processing in merchandise distribution, and barcode information read on merchandise tags and stickers is read by a barcode reader to input data to a computer etc. It's easy.

At present, most of the barcodes used in Japan are in accordance with the JANN (Ja n Ar at 1 1 N umber) standard, and a 13 digit standard type and an 8 digit short type are used. Normally, a standard type consisting of 3 digits (country code (2 digits), manufacturer code (5 digits), product item code (5 digits), check digit (1 digit)) is marked, but the print area is insufficient In the case of 8 digits (country code [2 digits], maker 1 code [4 digits], product item code [1 digit], check digit [1 digit]) The short type is marked and used. Internationally, in the United States and Canada, UP C (Universal P roduct Code), and in the case of E-aperture (E AN) (European Articulator Numb er), the J AN standard type is UPC, It is compatible with EAN and is a common code that can be used worldwide.

On the other hand, in this system, it is premised that a user uses a personal computer etc. In this system, it is premised that a user such as an elderly person who is not good at using a personal computer etc. Was hardly available.

On the other hand, barcodes are used worldwide, and they only hold a barcode reader as an input method to a computer etc., a force that enables data entry extremely easily. The bar code reader only functions as a means of inputting information to the computer, and it has not been possible to direct or control the operation of the computer or the like. Disclosure of the invention

Therefore, according to the present invention, even if a person who is not good at using a personal computer etc., a print etc. printed with a town code is installed in the vicinity of a computer such as a display device. It is an object of the present invention to provide a system capable of instructing and controlling the operation of a computer or the like by a simple operation by reading by a code reader to enable the purchase of various services or goods.

In such a system, the computer does not need to have a conventional keyboard, and can be configured by a display device with simple buttons, a print on which a time code is printed, and the like.

The service providing system of the present invention is a service providing system for providing a service and using a service between a service center connected via a public network and a service user, and the service center is specified in advance. Attached a barcode consisting of The print system is distributed to the service users, and the code system of the barcode includes a code representing a control command of the computer and a code representing the contents of the information. A computer terminal for displaying information to be provided and a bar code reader for reading the bar code, the data input to the computer terminal by reading the bar code displayed on the pre-distributed print and the computer Control is performed using information provided from the service center. And, the service center includes the local government, and the print to be distributed in advance includes the local government public relations paper.

The service providing system of the present invention further connects the value added provider via the public network, and the value added provider receives the request from the service center and outputs the code representing the control command of the computer and the content of the information. It has a function to create various prints with a barcode that includes the code to be distributed and distribute it to service users. Furthermore, if there is an order from the service user, the product will be delivered to the customer, It has the function of collecting money.

The barcode used in the service providing system of the present invention can be expanded to a force composed of four digits, or any number of digits of five or more. Brief description of the drawings

FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing an example of a system configuration which is realized specifically by applying the present invention to the issuance and distribution of a public relations paper of a local government.

The system generally indicated by reference numeral 1 is a system operation management company 20 connected via a communication network such as a public network 10, a service user 30, a value added provider 40, and a service center 50. Configured In this system configuration diagram, the system operation manager 20, the value added provider 40, and the service center 50 are shown as independent blocks for convenience of explanation, whereby the system operation of the present invention can be realized. This does not mean that the manager 20, the value-added provider 40, and the service center 50 must be configured as independent organizations, but they represent functions to be provided as a system that constitutes the present invention. It is a thing.

Service Centers 50 include local governments that issue PR paper with town code 60 (including Planning Division, Residents Division, Welfare Division, etc.), service menu with town code, and product flyers Service providers that issue (including care service providers etc.) etc. are included (see Figure 7).

The system operation management company 20 is an organization equipped with a function of managing and operating the entire service providing system of the present invention, and distributes a town code to each service providing unit. In addition, the system operation management company 20 receives a township code from a local government 60 as the service center 50 or a service provider 70 or the like via a public line or a dedicated line such as a LAN. After receiving and editing the contents of the service menu and the product leaflet, it distributes Web content to the service user 30 via a communication line such as the public network 10 or the like.

Furthermore, the system operation management company 20 notifies the respective service users (local residents, etc.) of the user ID, the notification of the password and the registration of the payment password, and the service user provides various services such as a care service. When an order is received, the user is authenticated, and the service user name and payment method are distributed to the local government 60 of the service center 50 or the service provider 70 and the like.

Although this system operation management company 20 is shown in FIG. 1 as being a separate organization from the local government 60, it is not necessary to be separate as an organization, but it is necessary that the town code be uniform. It would be more efficient to configure it as an independent function for operation.

The service center 50, for value-added providers 40, creates printed materials such as public information paper with a town code, service menu, product flyers, etc., creates and updates web content, delivers goods to home delivery, collection of price, etc. Request a job.

The value-added provider 40, upon request, performs services such as distribution of a newspaper with a town code, a service menu, product flyers, delivery of ordered products, collection of fees, etc., to service users.

The service center 50, which is a base for providing various services, distributes the public information paper, service menu, Web content of product flyers to the system operation management company 20, and the service user makes publicity paper, product flyers, etc. In the case of a request for service provision or an order for a product performed by In the service providing system of the present invention, when the service user 30 receives a service provided by a computer etc. while watching a public information paper with a town code, a service menu, a product flyer etc. The service center 50 notifies the contents of the order of the service user 30 to the service center 50, and the service center 50 gives the value-added provider 40 the necessary instruction to execute the service for the service user 30.

Fig. 2 shows an overview of the database configuration of the data server provided in the system operation management company 20, and a town code database 22 connected to the operation console 21 a web content database 23 a service user code database 2 4 etc. provided. The town code database 2 consists of a town code management master for town code management, a town code database for the local government, and a service provider company's tank code database. It operates as a fixed code representing the store name provided and a variable code hierarchical code that points to the content of the information.

In the web content database 23, contents such as publicity papers of local governments, service menus from service providers, and product flyers are registered.

The code system of service user code database 24 is different from the town code.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing an outline of system operation for providing services to service users 30 such as residents by a town code-attached publicity paper issued by a local government.

The local government instructs the value-added provider 40 to distribute a town code public information paper to each resident A to N, and each resident A to N is issued by the local government who is distributed from the system operation management provider to each home. And a display device 31 for displaying web content substantially the same as the contents of the public relations paper, and a barcode reader 32 connected to the display device 31 for reading a town code. The display device 31 is not limited to merely displaying the content, and also has a computer function capable of changing the display or processing the user's order according to the user's instruction using the barcode reader. ing. In addition, for public use, such a public code with a town code and a display with a function as a computer A device consisting of a device 31 and a bar code reader 32 may be provided in the station yard, at the side of a public telephone, or in the city hall.

Residents A to N see the public information paper with the town code issued by the value added provider 40, the service menu with the town code, the product flyer 100, etc. Read the printed town code and perform necessary processing.

Next, the form of use of the town code control sheet printed on the service menu or product flyer will be explained.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory view of a specific code control sheet such as a product flyer, and FIG. 5 is an explanatory view showing a form of use of the sheet.

The code control sheet, which is generally indicated by reference numeral 100, has a structure in which various character information, a town code, and the like are printed on a medium (sheet) such as paper.

At the top of the sheet, a display unit 120 is prepared to indicate that the sheet is a sheet for code control.

For example, as shown in the figure, if the code control sheet is for shoving, the affiliation column 130 of the sheet has a display unit 1 31 printed with the name of the store as text information and the code of the store. For example, it is indicated by a code 1 32 2 a such as a numeral and an identification code 1 3 2 b consisting of a town code system such as a barcode. The identification code 1 3 2 b consisting of this town code system is an identification code corresponding to a large volume of information uniquely assigned to the shops all over Japan like a normal 13-digit standard code of J AN. It is not necessary. For example, it may be a small-capacity code having a discriminating power which is valid only within the municipality unit of the local government based on the service center or the community. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the number of numerical figures displayed, and necessarily, the printing area of the town code can be reduced, and the printing accuracy etc. may be low.

The code displayed in this affiliation column 130 is assigned a fixed code that is uniquely assigned to a unique store name or the like within the municipality unit or community of the local government based on the service center.

For example, in the menu column 1 50 provided on the sheet 1 1 0, the store name 1 3 1 Various service menus provided by the service provider (product names of products, prices, photos, etc.) are displayed side by side.

In the case of illustration, goods A 1 5 1, goods B 1 5 2,... Etc. provided by the service provider of the shop name 1 3 1 are printed in a distinguishable manner. Each item display column 1 5 1, 1 5 2, · · ·, is the product name A l 5 1 a, 1 5 2 a, · ■ 'and the character information such as the price of each item 1 5 lb, 1 52 b,--'and product photo information 1 5 1 c, 1 5 2 c _N · ■' and a town code item identification code 1 5 1 d, 1 5 2 d, · · · 'Etc are printed. This code identification code 1 5 1 d, 1 5 2 d, · · 'may be a simple town code that can be arbitrarily assigned by each store, as long as it is a numeric value within the assigned assigned numeric range. There is no need to have a common town code with stores or a separate town code. Thus, the town code used for this menu field 150 is a fixed code uniquely assigned to a unique store name, etc. within the municipality unit or community of the local government based on the service center. Differently, each store can be a variable code that can be used freely.

A control code consisting of a town code system for controlling commerce and display devices is printed in the control field 170. Since this control code gives an instruction of the content of a transaction or instructs the operation of the computer part of the display device, a fixed code uniquely assigned within the municipality unit of the local government based on the service center or community. Use the code.

For example, in the case of an order section of a product, a text 1 7 1 a of “order” and an identification code 1 7 lb consisting of a town code system as an instruction corresponding to this text are printed. Furthermore, the sentence “order cancellation” 1 72 2 a, the identification code 1 72 b consisting of the town code system as an instruction corresponding to this sentence, the sentence 1 “confirmed” 1 73 a, and an instruction corresponding to this sentence The identification code 1 73 b consisting of the town code system, the number indicating the quantity of the product to be ordered 1 74 a, and the identification code 1 74 b, 1 74 c '· ■ consisting of the town code system as the corresponding instruction The amount increase / decrease 1 75 a meaning “increase” and “decrease” sentences 1 75 a, and the instructions corresponding to this sentence The control code necessary for the transaction such as '1 5 5 b, 1 7 5 c ·', etc., consisting of the uny code system is prepared by the barcode consisting of the town code system.

Furthermore, the controlo record prepares an identification code consisting of a town code system for controlling the operation of the display device. For example, the identification code 1 7 6 b consisting of the sentence 1 7 6 a of “Return” and the town code system as an instruction corresponding to this sentence is for returning the display screen to the previous process or page. An identification code 1 7 7 b, 1 7 8 b, which is also used and which similarly comprises the town code system corresponding to “forward”, “end”, etc., is also used to indicate the progress or end of processing of the screen, etc. Be done. These are also fixed codes uniquely assigned within the municipality units and communities of the local government based on the service center. FIG. 5 is an explanatory view showing a form of use of the code control sheet 100. Although the display device 31 equipped with the function of a computer has a display screen 31a and several switches 31b, there is no need to have a particularly troublesome keyboard for those who are new to the personal computer.

A bar code reader 32 is connected to the display unit 31. Information on the town code read by the bar code reader 32 is sent to a display unit 31 having a computer function, and the town code It is processed according to the content.

The user turns on the display device 31 and reads the town code 1 00 a printed on the code control sheet 1 00 with the bar code reader 32 to obtain information necessary for display and A command can be input to the display device 31.

The input information is processed by the function of the computer and displayed on the display screen 31 a of the display device. The user confirms the information input on this screen or places an order for a product.

Figure 6 lists the business contents of the value-added provider 40, and receives a request from the service center. Creating printing services, PR paper, service menu, product flickr related web content creation · Update service, delivery service for ordered products, fee collection service, etc., not to be performed by the municipality itself or the service provider itself Various efficient Provide the service of Of course, even if they are configured to be performed by the service center itself, it is not related to the essence of the present invention.

FIG. 7 shows the configuration of the service center 50. The service center 50 includes a local government 60 and a service provider 70. As shown in the figure, the local government 60 consists of the Planning Division, the Residents Division, the Welfare Division, etc., who are the sources of the content of the PRC with a town code, and the service providers 70 each have a town code. It consists of a specific store that is the originator of the contents of the Bismen's menu or products, a care service provider, and so on. FIG. 8 is an explanatory view showing the systematic structure of the town code of the present invention.

The town code code system shown in Fig. 8 has four decimal digits, and this 4-digit code is regarded as numerical data, and the meaning of the town code is divided into types within the numerical value range.

For example, dividing this 4-digit number into five parts in the range of 0000 to 0099, 0100 to 1 999, 2000 to 4999, 5000 to 5999, 6000 to 9999, and defining the contents of each as follows: did.

'0000 to 0099: Control code

-0100 to 1999: Local government code

-2000 to 4999: Service provider code

■ 5000 to 5999: Extension code for municipal code

• 6000 to 9999: Extended code for service provider code

The above-mentioned town code system has been described based on four decimal digits, but this number of digits can be defined as any number of five or more digits.

As a method of judging the meaning of the above-mentioned town code, it can be judged by the upper two digits of the town code.

That is, the upper two digits are

· If 00, control code

■ Local government code within the range of 01 to 19

• Service provider code in the range 20 to 49 • An extension code for the local code within the range of 5 0 to 5 9

-If it is in the range of 60 to 99, it can be judged as an extension code for the service provider code.

In this patent specification, as a generic name of this town code system: ■ Parent code (fixed code) from 0 0 0 0 to 4 9 9 9

■ Child code from 5 0 0 0 to 9 9 9 9 (variable code)

The present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

In addition, since the assignment of parent codes from code 0 0 0 0 to 4 9 9 9 is assigned uniquely in the municipality unit of the local government based on the relevant service center or in the community of the system administration manager, this is the reason. Is also called a fixed code.

On the other hand, child codes from 5000 to 999 are private to the parent code assigned to the service provider, and can be used arbitrarily. Therefore, due to its nature, this code is also called a variable code.

As described above, by treating the town code as a numerical value, dividing it into a fixed code and a variable code and applying a hierarchical town code system in which the variable code is assigned to the lower part of the fixed code, it is actually handled. The local government codes (including the extension codes) are expanded from the parent codes of 0 1 0 0 to 1 9 9 9 and the lower parts of the respective parent codes to 5 0 0 0 to 5 9 9 9 A total of 10-digit numerical code (this is called an internal processing code) which is a sum of 1-digit 4-digit numbers in each of the child-code's child-codes.

Similarly, the service provider code (including the extension code part) is expanded by expanding the parent codes of 200 0 to 4 9 9 9 and the respective parent codes to 600 0 to 9 9 9 Child code is represented by a total of 1 0 8 digit numeric code (internal processing code) which is a combination of 4 0 digit numeric values of each of the child codes.

FIG. 9 shows a specific example of a 10-base 8-digit internal processing code table combining the parent code and the child code in the town code system structure described in the above example.

In the figure, the control code of No. 1 is represented by the numerical value of the first two digits starting with 0 0. The first four digits are a fixed code using numbers from 0 0 0 0 to 0 0 9 9. The four digits after the control code may be any number, but this is a control code for controlling the service providing system of the present invention to the last, and therefore the town code and the control content based thereon The identity of the need to be ensured. In the figure, the municipal code of No. 2 is represented by the numerical values of the first two digits starting with 0 1 to 19 and the first four digits are 0 1 0

It is a fixed code in which numbers from 0 0 to 1 9 9 9 are used. The last four digits of the municipal code are the extension codes (variable codes) given to the local government, and the numbers from 500 to 599 are given. In the figure, the service provider code of No. 3 is represented by the numbers with the first 2 digits starting with 2 0 to 4 9 and the first 4 digits from 2 0 0 0 0 to 4 9 9 9 It is a fixed code where numbers are used. The last four digits of the service provider code is an extension code (variable code) given to each service provider, and a numerical value of 600 to 999 is given. In the figure, X may be any number.

In the present invention, the computer uses a computer function as shown in FIG. 9 by using a town code system in which the numbers represented by the barcode are not simply regarded as list data of numbers but as it is regarded as numerical data. It can be classified and organized as the content of control for. In addition, although the town code system is constructed on the basis of a 4-digit numerical value in 10-base, the 4- code "parent code (fixed code)" in 10-base and the "child code By using “variable code)” hierarchically, the internal processing code will be represented by a numeric code of 10 digits in 8 digits that is the sum of the 10 digits in 4 digits.

Fig. 10 shows an example of the service user code.

The service user code has an N-digit code system independent of the above-mentioned town code system, and is managed by a system operation management company.

The user ID and the pass code are N-digit codes assigned and notified to the service user by the system operation management company. This can, for example, be pre-distributed by mail as a bar-coded print to the user or, like a bank's ATM card,

1 It is also possible to print a D-code and password in barcode and pass it to a service user as a plastic card. At the start of system use, the user enters the user ID and password on the login screen displayed on the startup screen to open the system use.

This turn-on process is a bar code representing the numerical value of “0” to “9” as a control code prepared in advance after powering on a display device or the like having a computer function (for example, FIG. 4 This is possible by inputting the authentication information by reading the identification code 1 7 4 b, 1 7 4 c (see ')' with a bar code reader, and the authentication information may be input to the barcode as shown in the above example. Printing on a medium such as a card in the form and distributing it makes it possible to read in by reading the barcode printed on the hard disk with a barcode reader. Note that these authentication information can be registered at the time of initial setup of system startup if security can be ensured. In this way, user authentication can be performed only by turning on the power, so it is possible to enter the system as it is and start using it.

On the other hand, the settlement password is a code that the service user sets and registers by himself, and it is necessary to enter it when using the toll service or purchasing a product. The service user enters the payment pass code (10-digit 4-digit numerical code) with the control code (0 force, 9) with the bar code reader. As a result, authentication for settlement is performed, and ordered services for paid services are ordered to the system operation management company via the public network and processed. This is substantially the same as the previous settlement method, with regard to the processing procedure other than the bar code reader's input of the barcode.

Figures 11 and 12 show the usage of the service user code.

In order to use the town code system of the present invention, the service user obtains "user ID", "password", and "payment password" in advance. "User ID",

"Password" is an account for logging in to the system, and "Pass for payment" is entered when using paid service in PR paper · Service menu 'product flyer etc. or when entering a product shell to guarantee the authority of the order. Is a pass that means information to The method of acquiring these ID and password may be acquired in the service providing system according to this town code, or may be acquired by any conventionally known method.

Service users can use the Town Code Receive a newspaper, "Town code service menu 'Product flyer". Information can be viewed by reading the town code printed on these with a barcode reader or by key entry and selecting. Also, if you enter a payment password, you can receive paid services and purchase products. The password for payment is entered by reading the control code from 0 to 9 (a bar code representing a numerical value between 0 and 9) printed on the Town Coded Public Information Paper sequentially by a barcode reader. In addition to this, it is also possible to read barcodes on card media printed with such barcodes using a barcode reader.

Figure 13 shows the process flow when the service user actually receives the service.

The service user process and screen transition are as follows.

(1) View public relations

Figure 14 shows the process of viewing a Town Coded Public Relations Paper (see Figure 15) distributed by the local government using a bar code reader.

On the upper right side of the PR paper, the “parent code” given to a specific PR paper of the relevant municipality is printed corresponding to the PR title. In the lower part of the PR title, the topics of the article content of the PR paper are printed as a table of contents, and on the right side of each topic item, the "parent code" or "child code" is printed.

The service user reads these town codes with a bar code reader and browses information.

First, select the town code (parent code) on the right side of the title to display a list of items for this title on the screen. Select the town code (parent code or child code) on the right of the item to display the details of the selected item.

Note that selecting a parent code identifies what item the child code expanded below that parent code is, so when browsing information, be sure to select the parent code and then select the parent code. The child code will be selected.

In the example of viewing PR, the title is the parent code, and each item expanded under it is the parent code. It may be a child or a child code. Therefore, if the item is expanded in the parent code, the information can be browsed by selecting the item expanded in the parent code as straight, even if the title of the parent code is not selected. If the item is a child code, select the parent code, that is, the upper title, and then select the item expanded below it.

Fig. 15 shows an example of a township-added public information paper in Kasazawa Town, for example. This is the force shows a screen displayed on a Viewing device of the user ^s, also those contents substantially identical newsletters to be distributed to each home.

As is clear from the figure, the town code of 0101 is shown at the top right, corresponding to the publicity paper name of the specific issue of “Serizawa Town Public Relations (No. 463)”. Fig. 15 shows 1/5 pages of "Hirosawa Town Hiroyuki (No. 463)", and it is the screen displayed when the front page of the public information paper or the town code of 0 101 is entered.

This screen is a so-called index screen of "Serizawa Town Public Relations (No. 463)", and the table of contents displays the items described in the public relations paper, and the contents are as follows. The town code is printed side by side. All these town codes are parent codes.
