It may be embodied by software that provides multiple functions. Such software is installed in the user terminal 20 as application software, for example.
[Operation of information provision system]
With reference to FIGS. 5-7, the procedure of the provision of the content by an information provision system is demonstrated. In the following description, the transmitting device 10 is installed in a waiting room such as a station or an airport, and the radio waves transmitted by the transmitting device 10 are transmitted as in the case where content is transmitted to the user terminal 20 possessed by the user staying in the waiting room. An example will be described in which the user terminal 20 stays in a range where it can be received for a predetermined time.
First, with reference to FIG. 5, the procedure when the user terminal 20 first receives content based on the transmission information Ih will be described.
As shown in FIG. 5, the transmitting device 10 continues to transmit radio waves, and when the user terminal 20 enters a range in which the radio waves transmitted by the transmitting device 10 can be received, the radio waves are used as carrier waves to the transmitting device 10. The stored transmission information Ih is transmitted to the user terminal 20 (step S10). When the transmission information Ih is received from the transmission device 10, the information acquisition unit 22a of the user terminal 20 transmits a request for the access destination of the information management server 40 specified by the transmission information Ih to the information management server 40 (step S11). That is, the information management server 40 receives the transmission information Ih from the user terminal 20 in a mode designated as an access destination.
In response to a request from the user terminal 20, the information specifying unit 42a of the information management server 40 refers to the corresponding content data 43a stored in the storage unit 43, and the content information Ic stored in the designated access destination The usage time information It is specified (step S12). At this time, the information specifying unit 42a selects the content information Ic whose transmission order is set to “1” from the plurality of content information Ic and usage time information It associated with the transmission information Ih, and the information The usage time information It associated with the content information Ic is specified. And the information specific | specification part 42a transmits the specified content information Ic and utilization time information It to the user terminal 20 as a response. Accordingly, the content information Ic and the usage time information It associated with the transmission information Ih received by the user terminal 20 from the transmission device 10 in the information management server 40 are transmitted to the user terminal 20 (step S13).
Note that while the above-described processing is being performed between the user terminal 20 and the information management server 40, the transmission device 10 continues to transmit radio waves.
When the content information Ic and the usage time information It are received from the information management server 40, the condition confirmation unit 22b of the user terminal 20 confirms that the user terminal 20 is receiving radio waves from the transmission device 10 (step S14). ). When the reception of the radio wave is confirmed, the condition confirmation unit 22b of the user terminal 20 starts measuring the usage time (step S15) and notifies the information acquisition unit 22a that the usage condition is satisfied. When the condition confirmation unit 22b confirms that the usage conditions are satisfied, the information acquisition unit 22a transmits a request for the access destination of the content providing server 30 specified by the content information Ic to the content providing server 30 ( Step S16). It should be noted that if the reception of radio waves from the transmission device 10 cannot be confirmed, that is, if the user terminal 20 is out of the range in which the radio waves from the transmission device 10 can be received, it is necessary that the usage conditions are not satisfied. The confirmation unit 22b notifies the information acquisition unit 22a. In this case, access to the content providing server 30 from the user terminal 20 is not performed, and the user cannot use the content.
When receiving the request from the user terminal 20, the content providing server 30 transmits the content to the user terminal 20 as a response (step S17). When receiving the content from the content providing server 30, the user terminal 20 displays the received content on the display unit of the user terminal 20, and makes the content available by outputting sound as necessary (step S18). . For example, when the content is a moving image, the reproduction of the moving image is started. Thereby, the content corresponding to the content information Ic associated with the transmission information Ih received by the user terminal 20 in the information management server 40 is provided, and the use of the content by the user is started.
While the use of the content continues, that is, while the content is displayed on the display unit, the information acquisition unit 22a and the condition confirmation unit 22b of the user terminal 20 perform a display continuation confirmation process (step S19).
Here, the display continuation confirmation process in step S19 will be described with reference to FIG.
The flow shown in FIG. 6 is a process that is started by the condition confirmation unit 22b when content is displayed on the display unit, and is repeated while the content is displayed on the display unit.
First, the condition confirmation unit 22b determines whether or not the user terminal 20 has received a radio wave from the transmission device 10 in the process of step S100. If the reception of the radio wave cannot be confirmed, the condition confirmation unit 22b notifies the information acquisition unit 22a that the usage condition is not satisfied because the reception of the radio wave cannot be confirmed, and the process proceeds to step S104 (determination is negative in step S100). ). In the process of step S104, the information acquisition unit 22a stops displaying the content on the display unit and ends the process.
If reception of radio waves is confirmed in the process of step S100, the process proceeds to step S101 (positive determination in step S100). The condition confirmation unit 22b determines whether or not the measured usage time is within the time range indicated by the usage time information It received from the information management server 40 in the process of step S101. If the measured usage time exceeds the time indicated by the usage time information It, the condition confirmation unit 22b notifies the information acquisition unit 22a that the usage condition is not satisfied because the usage time has exceeded, The process proceeds to step S103 (negative determination in step S101). In the process of step S103, the information acquisition unit 22a stops displaying the content on the display unit, and again proceeds to a process of transmitting a request to the information management server 40 based on the transmission information Ih.
When the measured usage time is within the time range indicated by the usage time information It in the processing of step S101, the condition confirmation unit 22b notifies the information acquisition unit 22a that the usage conditions are satisfied. Then, the process proceeds to step S102 (positive determination in step S101). In the process of step S102, the information acquisition unit 22a continues to display the content on the display unit. And the information acquisition part 22a and the condition confirmation part 22b repeat the process after step S100.
Subsequently, the process proceeds to step S103 in the flow of FIG. 6, and a procedure when the user terminal 20 receives provision of content again based on the transmission information Ih will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 7, while the content is displayed on the display unit, the above-described display continuation confirmation process is performed (step S19). In the display continuation confirmation process, as described above, when reception of radio waves is confirmed and the measured usage time is within the range of the usage time information It, the content display is continued, and the user terminal 20 The content can be used. On the other hand, when the reception of radio waves cannot be confirmed, or when the measured usage time exceeds the usage time information It, the display of content is stopped. For example, when the content is a moving image, the reproduction of the moving image is stopped. When the display of the content is stopped, the use of the content by the user is stopped.
Among these, when the reception of the radio wave is confirmed and the measured usage time exceeds the usage time information It, information acquisition of the user terminal 20 is performed based on the transmission information Ih received from the transmission device 10. The unit 22a transmits the request again to the information management server 40 (step S20). At this time, the user terminal 20 transmits history information indicating which content information Ic the user terminal 20 has received up to that point to the information management server 40.
The information specifying unit 42a of the information management server 40 specifies the content information Ic and the usage time information It with reference to the corresponding content data 43a stored in the storage unit 43 in response to a request from the user terminal 20 ( Step S21). At this time, the information specifying unit 42a, based on the history information received from the user terminal 20, the content information Ic in which the transmission order that is the next order of the content information Ic previously transmitted to the user terminal 20 is set, and The usage time information It associated with the content information Ic is specified. And the information specific | specification part 42a transmits the specified content information Ic and utilization time information It to the user terminal 20 as a response (step S22).
Instead of transmitting history information from the user terminal 20 to the information management server 40, the information management server 40 may record the history of the content information Ic transmitted to the user terminal 20. In this case, the information specifying unit 42a specifies the content information Ic to be transmitted to the user terminal 20 according to the transmission order based on the recorded history.
Thereafter, the contents are provided by repeating the procedure from step S14 to step S22. In other words, while the user terminal 20 remains in a range where radio waves transmitted by the transmitting device 10 can be received, different contents are provided to the user terminal 20 every time a predetermined usage time elapses. When the user terminal 20 continues to receive radio waves from the transmitting device 10, the user may be within the time range indicated by the usage time information It set in the information management server 40 for each provided content. For example, the content can be viewed and viewed repeatedly. When the user terminal 20 continues to receive radio waves from the transmitting device 10 and the time indicated by the usage time information It corresponding to the provided content has elapsed, the user acquires new content. it can.
Thus, in the information management server 40, the transmission information Ih and the content information Ic are associated with each other. Then, the information management server 40 specifies the content information Ic associated with the transmission information Ih that matches the transmission information Ih received from the user terminal 20 and transmits the content information Ic to the user terminal 20. Thereby, the user terminal 20 can receive provision of content using the content information Ic.
That is, in the first embodiment, the content provided through the transmission device 10 is determined by the correspondence between the transmission information Ih and the content information Ic in the information management server 40. Therefore, since the content provided by the information providing system is collectively managed by the information management server 40, the content provided is compared with the form in which the provided content is managed for each individual device such as the transmitting device 10. The complexity required for management can be reduced. Further, for example, when confirming the content provided through the transmission device 10, the information management server 40 does not have to move to the installation location of the transmission device 10 or acquire information from the transmission device 10 at the installation location. Since the content can be confirmed by confirming the corresponding content data 43a possessed by, the labor required for the confirmation work is reduced.
Further, the transmitting device 10 push-distributes the transmission information Ih to the user terminal 20 by short-range wireless communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark). Therefore, since the user terminal 20 receives the transmission information Ih without requiring the user to operate the user terminal 20, the convenience of the user when using the information providing system is improved.
In particular, when Bluetooth (registered trademark) is used as a communication standard for short-range wireless communication, the communicable distance according to Bluetooth (registered trademark) is normally determined by NFC (near field communication) used for wireless communication using an IC tag. Communication) is set longer than the communicable distance. Therefore, unlike the case where the IC tag is used, a plurality of user terminals 20 within a range in which the radio wave of the transmission device 10 can be received can simultaneously receive the transmission information Ih. Therefore, content can be provided efficiently.
In addition, the user terminal 20 makes the content available on the user terminal 20 when reception of radio waves is confirmed and the measured usage time is within the range of the usage time information It. Then, the user terminal 20 acquires the content information Ic from the information management server 40 and acquires new content based on the content information Ic each time the time indicated by the usage time information It elapses. According to such a configuration, it is possible to provide content according to the staying time to a user staying in the vicinity of the place where the transmission device 10 is installed, and thus it is possible to provide highly useful content. Become.
As described above, according to the first embodiment, the effects listed below can be obtained.
(1) Since the content provided through the transmission device 10 is collectively managed by the information management server 40 by associating the transmission information Ih with the content information Ic, the complexity required for managing the information used when providing the content Can be reduced. Moreover, since the transmission device 10 transmits the transmission information Ih to the user terminal 20 by push distribution, the convenience for the user is improved.
(2) When the reception of the radio wave from the transmission device 10 is confirmed, the user terminal 20 determines that the use condition is satisfied and uses the content acquired based on the content information Ic at the user terminal 20 In order to make it possible, content can be provided to a user who stays near the place where the transmission device 10 is installed. Accordingly, since it is possible to provide content suitable for such a stay, it is possible to provide highly useful content.
(3) The transmission information Ih, the content information Ic, and the usage time information It are associated with each other and stored in the information management server 40. The information management server 40 is associated with the transmission information Ih received from the user terminal 20. The content information Ic and the usage time information It are specified and transmitted to the user terminal 20. Then, the user terminal 20 measures the usage time, and when the usage time is within the range of the usage time information It, the user terminal 20 determines that the usage condition is satisfied and acquires the content acquired based on the content information Ic. Is made available on the user terminal 20. According to such a configuration, use of the content in the user terminal 20 is possible only during a period set in advance as the usage time information It. Therefore, it is possible to provide content for a limited time.
(4) After making the content available on the user terminal 20, the user terminal 20 determines again whether the usage conditions are satisfied, and when determining that the usage conditions are satisfied, The user terminal 20 can continue to use it. According to such a configuration, since the content can be continuously used when the use condition is continuously satisfied, the effects (2) and (3) by providing the use condition are enhanced.
(5) In the information management server 40, a transmission order is set for each of a plurality of different pieces of content information Ic associated with the transmission information Ih. Each time the same transmission information Ih is received from the user terminal 20, the information management server 40 specifies the content information Ic according to the transmission order, and transmits the content information Ic to the user terminal 20. According to such a configuration, different contents are sequentially provided to the user terminal 20 through the same transmission device 10. Therefore, since the user can receive provision of a plurality of contents through the same transmission device 10, user convenience is improved.
In particular, whenever the time indicated by the usage time information It elapses, the user terminal 20 acquires the content information Ic from the information management server 40. The user can receive new content. Therefore, since the user can use a plurality of contents in order according to the contents, the user's convenience is improved. If the transmitting device 10 is installed in a place where the user stays for a long time, such as a waiting room such as a station or an airport, content corresponding to the user's staying time is provided through the transmitting device 10. Usefulness increases.
A second embodiment of the information management server, the information providing system, the information providing method, and the information management program will be described with reference to FIGS. Below, it demonstrates centering on difference with 1st Embodiment, about the structure similar to 1st Embodiment, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and the description is abbreviate | omitted.
In the second embodiment, usage conditions are not confirmed on the user terminal 20 when content is provided. On the other hand, when the content providing server 30 receives a request from the user terminal 20, the content providing server 30 requests the information management server 40 to determine whether the content can be provided, and transmits the content to the user terminal 20 based on the determination result. .
The configurations of the information management server 40 and the user terminal 20 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. First, the configuration of the information management server 40 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9.
As shown in FIG. 8, the control unit 42 includes a transmission recording unit 42 b and a content provision determination unit 42 c in addition to the information specifying unit 42 a as part of the configuration for realizing the information providing method by the information providing system. I have.
The information specifying unit 42 a specifies the content information Ic based on the corresponding content data 43 a stored in the storage unit 43 in response to the request from the user terminal 20 received by the communication unit 41. The identified content information Ic is output from the communication unit 41 to the user terminal 20.
The transmission recording unit 42b sends the terminal ID, which is identification information of the user terminal 20 received from the user terminal 20 by the communication unit 41 together with the request, the content information Ic transmitted to the user terminal 20, and the content information Ic to the user terminal 20. The storage unit 43 stores the transmission time as transmission record data 43b in association with the transmission time that is the transmission time.
In response to a request from the content providing server 30, the content provision determining unit 42c determines whether or not the content can be provided based on the corresponding content data 43a and the transmission record data 43b. Specifically, the content provision determination unit 42c displays the content information Ic and the transmission time associated with the terminal ID received in the transmission record data 43b together with the request for determining whether or not to provide the content from the content provision server 30. Identify. Then, the content provision determination unit 42c determines that the elapsed time from the identified transmission time to the current time is within the time range indicated by the provision time information Ig set in the corresponding content data 43a for the identified content information Ic. It is determined whether or not. When the elapsed time is within the time range indicated by the provision time information Ig, the content provision determination unit 42c determines whether the provision of the content is possible, and sends the determination result to the content provision server 30 via the communication unit 41. Notice. Further, when the elapsed time exceeds the time indicated by the provision time information Ig, the content provision determination unit 42c determines that the provision of the content is not possible and determines the determination result via the communication unit 41 and the content provision server 30. Notify
The storage unit 43 stores the transmission record data 43b in addition to the corresponding content data 43a.
In the control unit 42, the configuration having the functions as the information specifying unit 42a, the transmission recording unit 42b, and the content provision determining unit 42c may be embodied by various hardware such as a plurality of CPUs and memories. It may be embodied by software that gives a plurality of functions to one common hardware. Such software is stored in the storage unit 43 as an information management program.
With reference to FIG. 9, the correspondence between the transmission information Ih assigned to the transmission device 10, the content information Ic and the provision time information Ig constituting the corresponding content data 43a will be described.
As shown in FIG. 9, in the corresponding content data 43a, one piece of content information Ic is associated with one piece of outgoing information Ih, and provision time information Ig is associated with one piece of content information Ic.
The provision time information Ig indicates a time during which the content providing server 30 can provide the content corresponding to the content information Ic to the user terminal 20 as an elapsed time after the content information Ic is transmitted to the user terminal 20. The storage unit 43 stores such corresponding content data 43a for one or more pieces of transmission information Ih.
For example, the URL of the content providing server 30 that provides “D content” to the access destination file designated by the transmission information Ih “http: // ΔΔ / abc”, that is, the file corresponding to “abc” Content information Ic and provision time information Ig indicating “24 hours” are stored in association with each other. The “D content” is, for example, content related to an advertising medium or an article provided with the transmission device 10 that transmits the transmission information Ih “http: // ΔΔ / abc”. The provision time information Ig “24 hours” is permitted to provide “D content” from the content provision server 30 to the user terminal 20 for 24 hours after the content information Ic is transmitted to the user terminal 20. It shows that.
Each different transmission information Ih is associated with content information Ic corresponding to different content.
As shown in FIG. 10, the user terminal 20 has the same configuration as the user terminal 20 of the first embodiment. However, in the second embodiment, the usage conditions in the user terminal 20 are not confirmed. The condition confirmation unit 22b is omitted.
The information acquisition unit 22 a transmits a request to the information management server 40 based on the transmission information Ih acquired from the transmission device 10 and acquires the content information Ic from the information management server 40. When the short-range wireless communication unit 21b continues to receive radio waves from the transmission device 10, the information acquisition unit 22a is based on the acquired transmission information Ih only when the short-range wireless communication unit 21b first receives radio waves. The request is transmitted to the information management server 40.
Note that in the second embodiment, the information acquisition unit 22a does not control the use of content on the user terminal 20 according to the confirmation result of the use conditions.
With reference to FIG. 11, a procedure for providing content by the information providing system will be described. In the following, after a predetermined time has elapsed after the user terminal 20 acquires the content information Ic based on the transmission information Ih, a request for content based on the content information Ic is sent from the user terminal 20 to the content providing server 30. An example performed will be described.
As shown in FIG. 11, the transmitting device 10 continues to transmit radio waves, and when the user terminal 20 enters a range in which the radio waves transmitted by the transmitting device 10 can be received, the radio waves are used as carrier waves to the transmitting device 10. The stored transmission information Ih is transmitted to the user terminal 20 (step S30). When the transmission information Ih is received from the transmission device 10, the information acquisition unit 22a of the user terminal 20 transmits a request for the access destination of the information management server 40 specified by the transmission information Ih to the information management server 40 (step S31). At this time, the information acquisition unit 22a transmits the terminal ID of the user terminal 20 to the information management server 40 together with the request.
In response to the request from the user terminal 20, the information specifying unit 42a of the information management server 40 refers to the corresponding content data 43a and specifies the content information Ic stored in the designated access destination (step S32). And the information specific | specification part 42a transmits the specified content information Ic to the user terminal 20 as a response. Accordingly, the content information Ic associated with the transmission information Ih received by the user terminal 20 from the transmission device 10 in the information management server 40 is transmitted to the user terminal 20 (step S33).
When the content information Ic is transmitted to the user terminal 20, the transmission recording unit 42b of the information management server 40 receives the terminal ID received from the user terminal 20, the content information Ic transmitted to the user terminal 20, and the content information to the user terminal 20. The transmission time of Ic is associated and stored in the storage unit 43 (step S34). Thereby, the transmission record data 43b is constructed.
Note that while the above processing is being performed between the user terminal 20 and the information management server 40, the transmission device 10 continues to transmit radio waves, but the information acquisition unit 22a receives the transmission information Ih from the transmission device 10. Only when it is received for the first time, a request is transmitted to the information management server 40 based on the transmission information Ih. That is, even if the user terminal 20 continues to receive radio waves from the transmitting device 10, only data acquired when the user terminal 20 first receives radio waves is effectively used.
After receiving the content information Ic from the information management server 40, at any time, the information acquisition unit 22a of the user terminal 20 sends a request for the access destination of the content providing server 30 specified by the content information Ic to the content providing server 30. Transmit (step S35). For example, when the user desires to acquire content, the user terminal 20 is operated by the user, whereby a request is transmitted from the user terminal 20 to the content providing server 30. The content information Ic is stored in the storage unit 23 of the user terminal 20 until it is used to transmit a request to the content providing server 30. When transmitting a request to the content providing server 30, the information acquisition unit 22a transmits the terminal ID of the user terminal 20 to the information management server 40 together with the request.
When receiving the request from the user terminal 20, the content providing server 30 transmits the terminal ID received from the user terminal 20 to the information management server 40, and requests the information management server 40 to determine whether or not the content can be provided ( Step S36).
When receiving a request from the content providing server 30, the content providing determination unit 42c determines whether or not the content can be provided based on the corresponding content data 43a and the transmission record data 43b (step S37). That is, the content provision determination unit 42c uses the content information Ic and the transmission time associated with the terminal ID received from the content provision server 30 in the transmission record data 43b, and the elapsed time from the transmission time to the current time. Is determined to be within the time range indicated by the provision time information Ig associated with the content information Ic and the corresponding content data 43a.
When the elapsed time is within the time range indicated by the provision time information Ig, the content provision determination unit 42c determines whether the provision of the content is possible and transmits the determination result to the content provision server 30 (step S38). . Upon receiving the determination result indicating that the content can be provided, the content providing server 30 transmits the content to the user terminal 20 (step S39).
When receiving the content from the content providing server 30, the user terminal 20 displays the received content on the display unit of the user terminal 20 (step S40). Thereby, the content corresponding to the content information Ic associated with the transmission information Ih received by the user terminal 20 in the information management server 40 is provided.
If the elapsed time exceeds the time indicated by the provision time information Ig, the content provision determination unit 42c determines that the provision of the content is not possible and notifies the content provision server 30 of the determination result. When receiving the determination result indicating that the content cannot be provided, the content providing server 30 does not transmit the content to the user terminal 20 and transmits, for example, a notification that the content cannot be provided to the user terminal 20.
Thus, also in the information management server 40 of the second embodiment, the content provided through the transmission device 10 is determined by the correspondence between the transmission information Ih and the content information Ic in the information management server 40. Therefore, since the content provided by the information providing system is managed collectively by the information management server 40, the complexity required for information management can be reduced.
In the second embodiment, when the user terminal 20 acquires content from the content providing server 30 based on the content information Ic, the information management server 40 is associated with the content information Ic transmitted to the user terminal 20. Based on the provision time information Ig, it is determined whether or not the content can be provided to the user terminal 20. Then, based on the determination result notified from the information management server 40, the content providing server 30 provides content to the user terminal 20.
Therefore, when the elapsed time since the user terminal 20 received the content information Ic is within the time range indicated by the provision time information Ig, the content is provided to the user terminal 20, and the elapsed time is provided time information. If the time indicated by Ig is exceeded, no content is provided to the user terminal 20. For this reason, it is possible to provide limited-time content such as information related to a campaign that is executed only during a specific period, and a moving image or music that has a higher added value by limiting the distribution period. Therefore, the degree of freedom of the content provision mode is increased.
In addition, if the elapsed time is within the time range indicated by the provision time information Ig, the user can be provided with the content even at a place away from the transmission device 10, and the convenience for the user is improved.
As described above, according to the second embodiment, in addition to the effect (1) of the first embodiment, the following effect can be obtained.
(6) The information management server 40 provides provision time information associated with the content information Ic in the information management server 40 when the user terminal 20 acquires content from the content provision server 30 based on the content information Ic. Based on the Ig, whether or not the content can be provided to the user terminal 20 is determined, and the determination result is notified to the content providing server 30. According to such a configuration, whether or not content can be provided to the user terminal 20 is determined based on a period set in advance as the provision time information Ig. Therefore, it is possible to provide content for a limited time.
The first embodiment can be implemented with the following modifications.
The procedure for confirming the usage conditions by the condition confirmation unit 22b is not limited to the above-described mode. For example, the condition confirmation unit 22b may confirm the reception of the radio wave after starting the measurement of the usage time, or within the time range indicated by the usage time information It in the display continuation confirmation processing. You may confirm reception of an electromagnetic wave, after determining whether there exists. In short, the condition confirmation unit 22b satisfies that the user terminal 20 receives radio waves from the transmission device 10 and that the usage time is within the time range indicated by the usage time information It as usage conditions. What is necessary is just to confirm whether it is done. And the information acquisition part 22a should just make the content acquired based on the content information Ic available in the user terminal 20, when the use conditions are satisfied.
-Only the user terminal 20 receiving radio waves from the transmitting device 10 is used as a use condition, and when reception of radio waves is confirmed, the content can be used at the user terminal 20 regardless of the use time. It may be said. Even with this configuration, the effect (2) of the first embodiment can be obtained. In this case, the usage time information It is omitted from the corresponding content data 43a, and one content information Ic may be associated with one transmission information Ih as in the second embodiment.
The use condition is only that the use time is within the time range indicated by the use time information It. When this condition is satisfied, the content is received at the user terminal 20 regardless of the reception status of the radio wave. May be available. Even with such a configuration, the effect (3) of the first embodiment can be obtained.
In the corresponding content data 43a, one transmission information Ih and one content information Ic may be associated with each other. That is, even when the usage time exceeds the time indicated by the usage time information It, the acquisition of new content information Ic is not performed, and the use of the content in the user terminal 20 may be stopped and the processing may be terminated.
The usage time information It may be information as period information that defines a period during which the content can be used by the user terminal 20, for example, depending on a time range from a specific time to a specific time. You may prescribe | regulate the period which can be utilized in the user terminal 20. FIG. In this case, the condition confirmation unit 22b of the user terminal 20 acquires the current time instead of measuring the usage time, and determines whether or not the current time is included in the specified time range. It is determined whether or not the condition is satisfied.
The second embodiment can be implemented with the following modifications.
The provision time information Ig may be information as period information that defines a period during which the content is permitted to be provided to the user terminal 20, for example, depending on a time range from a specific time to a specific time. A period during which the provision to the user terminal 20 is permitted may be defined. In this case, the content provision determination unit 42c of the information management server 40 acquires the current time, and determines whether the content can be provided by determining whether the current time is included in the specified time range. To do. In this case, the transmission recording unit 42b may store only the terminal ID and the content information Ic in association with each other, and the transmission time may be omitted from the transmission recording data 43b.
The content providing server 30 may acquire the corresponding content data 43a and the transmission record data 43b from the information management server 40 and determine whether the content can be provided. Alternatively, after the information management server 40 has the function of the content providing server 30 and determines whether the content can be provided, the content may be transmitted to the user terminal 20 according to the determination result.
-It is not necessary to determine whether or not content can be provided. In this case, when the user terminal 20 requests content from the content providing server 30 based on the content information Ic, the content providing server 30 does not request the information management server 40 to determine whether the content can be provided, In response to a request from the terminal 20, the content is transmitted to the user terminal 20. Even with this configuration, the effect (1) of the first embodiment can be obtained. In this case, the information management server 40 does not have to include the transmission recording unit 42b, the content provision determination unit 42c, and the transmission recording data 43b. In short, the information management server 40 has a configuration in which the content information Ic is stored in association with the transmission information Ih, and the content information Ic associated with the transmission information Ih received from the user terminal 20 is specified and output. Just do it. If the information management server 40 has the above-described configuration, confirmation of usage conditions in the user terminal 20 as in the first embodiment and determination of whether or not content can be provided as in the second embodiment are performed. Even if the content is provided to the user terminal 20, the effect (1) can be obtained.
The above embodiments can be implemented with the following modifications.
The transmission device 10 may store only the transmission device ID, and the storage unit 43 of the information management server 40 may store the content information Ic in association with the transmission device ID. With this configuration, the user terminal 20 receives the transmission device ID from the transmission device 10 and transmits the transmission device ID to the information management server 40. The information management server 40 is associated with the received transmission device ID. The content information Ic is specified. In short, the transmission information Ih transmitted by the transmission device 10 is not limited to the URL, but may be information unique to the transmission device 10 and assigned to each transmission device 10. And the memory | storage part 43 of the information management server 40 should just be the structure which matches and memorize | stores the content information Ic with the transmission information Ih. For example, a specific character string such as “XXXXYZW3W17” may be assigned to the transmitting device 10 instead of the URL or the transmitting device ID, and this character string may be used as the transmission information Ih.
The content information Ic may be information related to a content provider, and is a server that selects recommended content from a large number of contents and dynamically creates recommended content information indicating the content provider. It may be an address of a recommended content selection server. For example, the information management server 40 stores information such as the terminal ID of the user terminal 20 that has acquired the transmission information Ih and accessed the information management server 40, the number of accesses, and the location information of the user terminal 20 as history data, When the content information Ic specified based on the transmission information Ih is the address of the recommended content selection server, the history data is transmitted to the recommended content selection server. Then, the recommended content selection server selects the recommended content using history data, and transmits the URL of the server that provides the selected content to the user terminal 20 as recommended content information. The user terminal 20 accesses the content providing server 30 based on the recommended content information and receives content provision. In these cases, the control unit 42 of the information management server 40 functions as an output unit, and outputs the content information Ic specified based on the transmission information Ih to the communication unit 41.
According to such a configuration, the content selected by the recommended content selection server is provided according to the history data. In this case, as described above, it is not necessary to check the use conditions in the user terminal 20 as in the first embodiment and determine whether to provide the content as in the second embodiment.
In the information management server 40, a plurality of pieces of content information Ic are associated with one transmission information Ih, and the information management server 40 adds additional information different from the transmission information Ih such as time information in addition to the transmission information Ih. May be obtained, and one piece of content information Ic may be specified from among the plurality of pieces of content information Ic associated with the transmission information Ih according to the additional information. In this case, in the corresponding content data 43a, additional information is associated with each of the plurality of content information Ic associated with one transmission information Ih, and the information specifying unit 42a includes the acquired transmission information Ih and the additional information. Based on this, one piece of content information Ic is specified. According to such a configuration, different contents can be provided through one transmission device 10.
