[0010] <Embodiment 1> Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0011] 1 is a configuration diagram showing the configuration of a guide system 1000 including a display device 100. The guide system 1000 includes the display device 100, a mobile terminal 200, and a server 300. The mobile terminal 200 and the server 300 are communicably connected via a network 400. The network 400 includes, for example, the Internet, a wide area network (WAN), a local area network (LAN), a wireless base station such as WiFi, a provider device, and a dedicated line. The guide system 1000 is a system that guides a user to the location of products by displaying position information corresponding to multiple products specified by the user on the display device 100 or the mobile terminal 200.

[0012] The display device 100 is, for example, a display device (signage device) installed inside or outside a clothing store, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a notebook PC (Personal Computer), a desktop PC, a mobile phone, etc. In this specification, a mobile terminal refers to an information processing device that a user can carry, such as a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a notebook PC, or a mobile phone. The display device 100 includes a display unit 110, an input unit 120, and a processing unit 130.

[0013] The display unit 110 is, for example, a liquid crystal display panel, a plasma display panel, an organic EL display panel, or the like, and is controlled by the processing unit 130. The display unit 110 displays a predetermined screen under the control of the processing unit 130.

[0014] The input unit 120 is, for example, a touch panel, a keyboard, a mouse, or the like that accepts operation input from a user, and accepts instructions and input from the user via the touch panel or keys. Note that, in cases where the display device 100 is a signage device, a tablet terminal, or the like, the input unit 120 also functions as the display unit 110, and the display unit 110 and the input unit 120 may be integrated into one structure. For example, a user uses the input unit 120 to specify a product.

[0015] The processing unit 130 includes a receiving unit 131, a communication unit 132, and a display control unit 133. The receiving unit 131 receives input such as a product designation from a user. The communication unit 132 receives, for example, location information associated with the identification information of the product designated by the receiving unit 131 from a database (product DB 150) for product inventory management in the store where the display device 100 is installed. The display control unit 133 displays on the display unit 110 an icon in a identifiable manner at a position on the floor map corresponding to the location information received by the communication unit 132, and also displays a correspondence between the icon and a thumbnail image in an identifiable manner. At this time, inventory information may be received together with the location information to display the inventory of the product. Details of the screen displayed on the display unit 110 will be described later. Furthermore, the display control unit 133 displays on the display unit 110 of the display device 100 a code 140 that is read by the mobile terminal 200 to display a screen including a thumbnail image of the designated product and a floor map on the mobile terminal 200. Here, the code 140 is, for example, a two-dimensional code such as a QR code (registered trademark) or a barcode.

[0016] The position information of the product can be obtained, for example, by acquiring the identification information of the product and the position information of the tag from the tag attached to the product displayed in the store using a reading device (not shown). The identification information of the product includes at least the color information and size information of the product. Of course, the size and color may be replaced with corresponding information (numbers such as numerical values). For example, "S, M, L" may be replaced with "1, 2, 3", and "white, black, yellow" may be replaced with "00, 09, 45" for the color. The tag is a tag capable of recording the identification information of the product, such as an RFID tag. The position information of the tag is converted into position information (display position information) to be reflected on the floor map of the store, and is stored in the product DB150.

[0017] The product DB 150 is communicably connected to the display device 100 via the network 400. The product DB 150 stores the display position information in association with identification information. The product DB 150 may store the display position information in association with floor identification information for identifying which floor of which store. The product DB 150 also stores thumbnail images corresponding to the identification information of the products.

[0018] Next, a description will be given of the mobile terminal 200. The mobile terminal 200 is carried by a user (customer) of a store such as a clothing store. The mobile terminal 200 includes a display unit 210, an input unit 220, a camera 230 (imaging unit), and a processing unit 240.

[0019] The display unit 210 is, for example, a liquid crystal display panel, a plasma display panel, an organic EL display panel, or the like, and is controlled by the processing unit 240. The display unit 240 displays a predetermined screen under the control of the processing unit 240.

[0020] The input unit 220 is, for example, a touch panel, keyboard, mouse, or the like that accepts operation input from the user, and accepts instructions and input from the user via the touch panel or keys. The display unit 210 and the input unit 220 may be integrated into one structure, such as a touch panel. The user uses the input unit 220, for example, to specify and register a product or store.

[0021] The camera 230 is a device for photographing an object, and includes, for example, a lens and an image sensor. The camera 230 photographs and reads the code 140 included in the screen displayed on the display device 100, and the code information included in the code 140 is extracted by the mobile terminal 200. Here, the code information is, for example, a URL (Uniform Resource Locator). The code information may include identification information of a specified product. Then, by connecting to the read URL via the communication unit 243, a screen including a thumbnail image of the specified product and a floor map is displayed on the display unit 210 of the mobile terminal 200. By reading the code 140 multiple times by the camera 230, a floor map in which icons indicating the position information of two or more products are identifiably displayed is displayed on the display unit 210 of the mobile terminal 200.

[0022] The processing unit 240 includes a receiving unit 241, a communication unit 243, a display control unit 244, and a current location acquisition unit 245. The receiving unit 241 receives code information read by the camera 230 and transmits it to the communication unit 243. The receiving unit 241 also receives, for example, a designation of a product or a store from the user. The registration unit 242 registers the designated product in a purchase consideration list (also called a favorites list). It is preferable that the registration unit 242 can register a store that the user frequently visits as information about the store by the user designating the store. The communication unit 243 receives, for example, a screen including a thumbnail image of the designated product and a floor map from the server 300 based on the code information. The display control unit 244 causes the display unit 110 to display the screen received from the server 300. The current location acquisition unit 245 acquires the current location of the mobile terminal 200.

[0023] The server 300 includes a communication unit 301 and a generation unit 302. The communication unit 301 receives code information from the mobile terminal 200 and extracts information corresponding to the code information from the floor map DB 310. That is, the communication unit 301 receives position information associated with the identification information of the product included in the code information from the floor map DB 310. In the floor map DB 310, similar to the product DB 150, the display position information of the product is stored in association with the identification information, and a thumbnail image corresponding to the identification information of the product is also stored. Furthermore, the floor map DB 310 stores a floor map of the store. The floor map DB 310 outputs the position information and the floor map corresponding to the identification information of the product included in the received code information to the generation unit 302 via the communication unit 301. Furthermore, the floor map DB 310 also outputs the thumbnail image of the product included in the code information to the generation unit 302. The generation unit 302 identifiably displays an icon indicating the position of the product at a location on the floor map corresponding to the received position information, and generates a screen including the floor map and the thumbnail image. Then, the generation unit 302 transmits a screen including a floor map displaying the position information of the specified product and a thumbnail image corresponding to the specified product to the mobile terminal 200 via the communication unit 301. By transmitting the screen to the mobile terminal 200, the screen including the thumbnail image of the specified product and the floor map is displayed on the display unit 210 of the mobile terminal 200.

[0024] 2 is a block diagram showing a hardware configuration of the display device 100. The display device 100 includes a storage unit 20, a CPU 21, a RAM 22, a ROM 23, a communication unit 132, a display unit 110, and an input unit 120.

[0025] The storage unit 20 stores a program that is executed by the CPU 21 to realize a flow described below, and data used by this program, etc.

[0026] The CPU 21 operates based on a program stored in the ROM 23 or the storage unit 20, and controls each unit of the display device 100. The ROM 23 stores a boot program executed by the CPU 21 when the display device 100 is started, a program dependent on the hardware of the display device 100, and the like. The CPU 21 loads the program in the ROM 23 onto the RAM 22, and executes the loaded program, thereby implementing a flow to be described later. The CPU 21 may obtain these programs from another device via the network 400 and execute them, or may directly execute the programs stored in the ROM 23.

[0027] The communication unit 132 receives data from other devices via the network 400 and sends it to the CPU 21, and transmits data and instructions generated by the CPU 21 to other devices via the network 400. Note that the product DB 150, the mobile terminal 200, the server 300, and the floor map DB 310 each have the same configuration as in Fig. 2, but detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0028] FIG. 3 is a sequence diagram of the floor map display process according to the first embodiment. First, a user specifies a product using the display device 100 installed in a store (S1). The product can be specified, for example, by selecting a category displayed on the display device 100, or by searching for the product name or an identification number assigned to each product. In addition, for example, if the display device 100 is a smartphone or the like and has a camera, the product may be specified by taking a picture of the tag of the product in the store with the camera. Furthermore, the product can be selected from a coordinated image displayed on the display device 100. The product DB 150 outputs position information corresponding to the identification information of the product specified by the user to the display device 100 (S2). Based on the received position information, the display device 100 displays on the display unit 110 a floor map showing the position of the specified product, a thumbnail image of the specified product, and a code 140 for reading by the mobile terminal 200 (S3). Thereafter, the mobile terminal 200 is used to read the code displayed on the display device 100 (S4). S1 to S4 are performed multiple times. In this way, multiple products are specified.

[0029] Then, the server 300 sends a command to the floor map DB 310 to send to the server 300 the products according to the code information, i.e., the location information, floor map, and thumbnail images corresponding to the identification information of each of the specified multiple products (S5). The floor map DB 310 outputs the location information, floor map, and thumbnail images corresponding to the identification information of the multiple products according to the code information to the server 300 (S6). The server 300 displays icons indicating the positions of each of the multiple products in a identifiable manner at locations on the floor map corresponding to the location information received from the floor map DB 310, generates a screen including the floor map and thumbnail images showing the product positions, and sends it to the mobile terminal 200. Then, the screen is displayed on the display unit 210 of the mobile terminal 200 (S7).

[0030] Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of screen transitions of the display device 100 according to the first embodiment. The screen transitions in this diagram correspond to the sequence diagram in Fig. 3. Here, an example is described in which a product is selected from a coordination image when specifying a product. First, the user taps, for example, an icon 11 of "Go buy the worn product" included in the coordination image 10, and details of at least one or more products included in the coordination image are displayed.

[0031] Screen 12 shows an example of a screen displaying details of multiple products included in a coordinated image. A user selects a product from the multiple products displayed on screen 12, thereby specifying the product. That is, screen 12 corresponds to the screen displayed on display device 100 in S1 of FIG. 3.

[0032] When a product is specified, a screen 13 is displayed on the display device 100. The screen 13 includes a floor map 14 showing the location of the specified product, a thumbnail image 15 of the specified product, and a code 140 for reading by the mobile terminal 200. The screen 13 corresponds to the screen displayed on the display device 100 in S3 of FIG. 3. At this time, other coordinated images 16 including the specified product may be displayed on the same screen. In this way, the user can intuitively know products that are easily combined with the specified product, making it easier to specify the next product.

[0033] FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a display screen of the mobile terminal 200 according to the first embodiment. By repeating S1 to S4 in FIG. 3 multiple times and reading multiple types of codes 140 into the mobile terminal 200, the screen 30 is displayed on the mobile terminal 200. The screen 30 includes thumbnail images 31a, 31b, and 31c corresponding to the multiple designated products, and a floor map 33 on which icons 32a, 32a, and 32c indicating the location information of the multiple designated products are displayed in a identifiable manner. In the example shown in this figure, the thumbnail image 31a is numbered "1", the thumbnail image 31b is numbered "2", and the thumbnail image 31c is numbered "3". Similarly, the icons 32a, 32a, and 32c are numbered, and the thumbnail images and icons having the same numbers correspond to each other. That is, the product indicated by thumbnail image 31a is displayed at the position indicated by icon 32a, the product indicated by thumbnail image 31b is displayed at the position indicated by icon 32b, and the product indicated by thumbnail image 31c is displayed at the position indicated by icon 32c. As long as the correspondence between the thumbnail image and the icon can be recognized, the same color, shape, or symbol may be used. In this figure, an example is shown in which thumbnail image 31b is selected. The selected thumbnail image 31b is highlighted so that it is easy to recognize that it has been selected. Here, as an example, it is displayed surrounded by a frame, but it is preferable to highlight it by, for example, enlarging it, highlighting it in a highlight color, blinking, or the like. It is also preferable to highlight the icon 32b corresponding to thumbnail image 31b. Details 34 of the selected product are displayed below the floor map 33. The details 34 of the product include, for example, color information and size information of the product that is being developed, and stock information. In addition, by the user selecting an icon 35, the details and stock information of the specified product can be confirmed in the online store.

[0034] By displaying such a screen on a mobile terminal carried by a user, the user can efficiently find a plurality of products in a store such as a clothing shop.

[0035] In this embodiment, the product DB 150 and the floor map DB 310 are different databases, but the same database may be used.

[0036] <Second embodiment> In the above-described embodiment, an example has been described in which a floor map showing the locations of multiple specified products and a screen including thumbnail images of multiple specified products are displayed on the mobile terminal 200 by reading the code 140 displayed on the display device 100 multiple times with the mobile terminal 200. In the present embodiment, an example will be described in which a screen such as the one described above is displayed on the mobile terminal 200 by reading the code displayed on the display device 100 once with the mobile terminal 200. Note that configurations and steps having the same functions as those in the above-described embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and descriptions of those that are structurally and functionally the same will be omitted.

[0037] 6 is a flow diagram of a floor map display process of the display device 100 according to the second embodiment. Each operation (step) shown in this flow chart can be executed by the control of each unit by the CPU 21 included in the display device 100. Note that, in this flow, a case where multiple products are selected from a coordinated image will be described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0038] First, the reception unit 131 judges whether or not a coordinated image has been selected by the user (S51). If a coordinated image has not been selected in S51 (No), S51 is executed again. On the other hand, if a coordinated image has been selected in S51 (Yes), the reception unit 131 judges whether or not it has been selected to collectively display the position information of multiple products included in the coordinated image (S52). Note that, here, when collectively displaying the position information of multiple products included in the coordinated image, the position information of all products included in the coordinated image may be displayed collectively, or the user may be able to select only a portion of the products.

[0039] In S52, when it is selected to display the position information of multiple products together (Yes), the communication unit 132 acquires the position information of each of the multiple products included in the coordinate image and thumbnail images from the product DB 150 (S53). Then, the display control unit 133 causes the display unit 110 to display an icon in a identifiable manner at a position on the floor map corresponding to the received position information and to identifiable the correspondence between the icon and the thumbnail image. Furthermore, the display control unit 133 causes the display unit 110 of the display device 100 to display a code 140 that, when read by the mobile terminal 200, causes the mobile terminal 200 to display a screen including thumbnail images of the specified multiple products and the floor map (S53). By reading the code displayed in S53 using the mobile terminal 200, a screen such as that shown in FIG. 5 can be displayed on the mobile terminal 200.

[0040] On the other hand, if displaying the position information of multiple products together was not selected in S52 (No), the position information and thumbnail image of the specified product are acquired from the product DB 150 (S55). Then, the display control unit 133 causes the display unit 110 to display a floor map showing the position of the specified product, a thumbnail image of the specified product, and a code for reading by the mobile terminal 200 based on the acquired position information (S56). Note that S55 corresponds to S2 in Fig. 3, and S56 corresponds to S3 in Fig. 3, so detailed description will be omitted.

[0041] Here, the details of the coordination image selection will be described. FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a coordination image selection screen. FIG. 7(A) is a schematic diagram showing an example of an instruction input screen 60 when selecting a coordination image. For example, a user taps a theme selection icon 61, for example, to display a plurality of coordination themes. A user selects a preferred theme from the displayed plurality of themes, and a plurality of coordination images that match the user's taste are displayed. If the displayed plurality of coordination images does not include one that matches the user's taste, the displayed coordination image can be changed to another coordination image by tapping a shuffle icon 62.

[0042] Fig. 7(B) is a schematic diagram showing an example of a display screen including a plurality of coordinated images. For example, an instruction input screen 60 is placed at a position corresponding to the center of the screen, and a plurality of coordinated images 63a to 63h are arranged and displayed so as to surround it. Fig. 7(B) shows, as an example, a case where coordinated image 63c is selected. It is preferable that the selected coordinated image is displayed in a highlighted manner. In this way, it is easy to visually recognize which of the plurality of coordinated images is selected.

[0043] The input screen 60 and the coordinated images 63a to 63h may be displayed on different display devices. Specifically, for example, nine tablet terminals are used as the display device 100 and arranged as shown in FIG. 7(B). The tablets are then linked and operated. The number of linked tablet terminals is not limited to nine. With this configuration, even if the number of coordinated images to be displayed is increased, the coordinated images do not need to be reduced by increasing the number of linked tablet terminals, making it easier for the user to view them.

[0044] As described above, according to the second embodiment, by simply reading the code displayed on the display device 100 once with the mobile terminal 200, it is possible to display on the mobile terminal 200 a screen including thumbnail images of the specified multiple products and a floor map including location information of the specified multiple products.

[0045] <Third embodiment> In the above embodiment, an example of specifying multiple products using the display device 100 has been described. In the present embodiment, an example of specifying multiple products using the mobile terminal 200 will be described. Note that configurations and steps having the same functions as those in the above embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and descriptions of those that are structurally and functionally the same will be omitted. Note that in the present embodiment, the floor map DB 310 stores floor maps of multiple stores and position information of products in the multiple stores.

[0046] 8 is a flow diagram of floor map display processing of the mobile terminal 200 according to the third embodiment. Each operation (step) shown in this flow chart can be executed by the CPU included in the mobile terminal 200 controlling each unit.

[0047] First, the reception unit 241 judges whether or not an instruction to display a floor map has been input (S71). If an instruction to display a floor map has not been input in S71 (No), S71 is executed again. On the other hand, if an instruction to display a floor map has been input in S71 (Yes), the registration unit 242 judges whether or not a product has been registered in the purchase consideration list (S72). Here, if multiple products have not been registered in the purchase consideration list (No), the user specifies multiple products (S73). Note that the method of specifying products may be the same as in the above-mentioned embodiment, and therefore a description thereof will be omitted. On the other hand, if a product has been registered in the purchase consideration list (S72, Yes), S74 is executed. Note that if multiple products have already been registered in the purchase consideration list, product specification (S73) may be performed. With such a configuration, it is possible to check the location information in the store for products that are not registered in the purchase consideration list.

[0048] Next, the current location acquisition unit 245 judges whether or not the current location of the mobile terminal 200 can be acquired (S74). If the current location can be acquired (Yes), the display control unit 244 receives a screen including thumbnail images of the specified multiple products and a floor map including position information of the specified multiple products from the server 300 via the communication unit 243. Then, the display control unit 244 causes the display unit 210 to display the screen (S75). The floor map displayed here is the floor map of the store at the current location, or the floor map of the store closest to the current location.

[0049] On the other hand, if the current location cannot be acquired in S74 (No), the registration unit 242 judges whether or not a frequently visited store is registered (S76). If a frequently visited store is registered (Yes), the display control unit 244 receives a screen including thumbnail images of the specified multiple products and a floor map including location information of the specified multiple products from the server 300 via the communication unit 243. Then, the display control unit 244 causes the display unit 210 to display the screen (S77). The floor map displayed here is the floor map of the frequently visited store. Note that, if multiple frequently visited stores are registered, the floor map of the specified store is displayed by specifying the store for which the floor map is to be displayed. In addition, the frequently visited store may be automatically registered based on the specified range of activity by identifying the user's range of activity from the information acquired by the current location acquisition unit 245.

[0050] If no frequently visited store is registered in S76 (No), the user specifies a store (S78). A store can be specified by, for example, selecting or inputting a store name, a place name, a nearest station name, or a postal code, which displays candidate stores and allows the user to specify the store. After that, the display control unit 244 receives a screen including thumbnail images of the specified multiple products and a floor map including position information of the specified multiple products from the server 300 via the communication unit 243. The display control unit 244 then causes the display unit 210 to display the screen (S77). The floor map displayed here is the floor map of the store specified in S78.

[0051] According to this embodiment, it is possible to grasp the locations of multiple products in a store before going to the store, thereby reducing operation time in the store.

[0052] In addition, if the current location is within the store and the detailed current location within the store can be acquired in S74, it is preferable that the display control unit 244 also displays the current location on the floor map. FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a floor map including the user's current location according to the third embodiment. The current location 90 is identifiable and displayed on the floor map 33 with a different shape, color, or symbol from the icons 32a to 32c indicating the product locations. With this configuration, the user can grasp the current location within the store, and can easily intuitively grasp the most efficient route to look around multiple products.

[0053] Also, the display of the current location can be applied to the above-mentioned embodiment. For example, in the case where the display device 100 is a fixed type, if the processing unit 130 has information on the location where the display device 100 is installed, the installation location of the display device 100 may be displayed on the floor map as the current location.

[0054] In addition, when a product is registered in the purchase consideration list, it is preferable to display thumbnail images and location information of, for example, recommended products, sale products, or products in a campaign based on the multiple products registered in the purchase consideration list in the same manner as the specified product.
