Abstract:
1. An image display system including a server apparatus and a customer mobile terminal, wherein the server apparatus comprises: a commodity database in which images of commodities, detailed information about the commodities, and link information to the detailed information are stored in association with each other; a commodity group determination device that determines a group of commodities to be transmitted to the mobile terminal among the commodities stored in the commodity database; and a server-side transmission device that transmits, to the mobile terminal, images of the group of commodities determined by the commodity group determination device and link information to detailed information about the commodities corresponding to the images, and the mobile terminal comprises: a display device; a terminal-side reception device that receives the images of the group of commodities and the link information to the detailed information about the commodities corresponding to the images, transmitted from the server apparatus; a first display control device that sequentially displays the images of the group of commodities received by the terminal-side reception device one by one as a slide show on the display device, the first display control device controlling the display of the images of the commodities so that the entire image of each commodity displayed one by one is displayed on the entire display device; a reception device that receives selection input for an image displayed on the display device; a detailed information acquisition device that acquires, in response to the reception device receiving the selection input, detailed information about a commodity corresponding to the image for which the reception device has received the selection input, from the commodity database based on the link information received by the terminal-side reception device; and a second display control device that displays the detailed information acquired by the detailed information acquisition device on the display device, wherein the mobile terminal further comprises a customer information transmission device that transmits information about a customer having the mobile terminal, and the server apparatus further comprises: a customer information reception device that receives the information about the customer transmitted by the customer information transmission device; and a customer database that stores the information about the customer received by the customer information reception device and a purchase history of a commodity purchased by the customer, in association with each other, wherein the commodity group determination device determines the group of commodities to be transmitted to the mobile terminal among the commodities stored in the commodity database based on the commodity purchase history stored in the customer database, wherein the customer database stores detailed information about the commodity purchased by the customer as the purchase history of the commodity purchased by the customer, and the commodity group determination device compares the detailed information about the commodities stored in the commodity database with the detailed information about the commodity stored in the customer database and determines, as the group of commodities, commodities associated with detailed information that substantially matches the detailed information stored in the customer database, among the commodities stored in the commodity database.
