[0011] (First embodiment) Hereinafter, a shopping support system to which a shopping support device, a shopping support method, and a program according to an embodiment of the present invention are applied will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. This shopping support system is a system for supporting a customer in shopping.

[0012] In particular, this shopping support system has a configuration that acquires (creates or inputs) a shopping list and displays a shopping route based on information on the sales locations of the products on the shopping list. In the shopping support system described below, a system that creates a shopping list is exemplified, but it may also be configured to input a completed shopping list (accepts input of a shopping list).

[0013] (Configuration of shopping support system) As shown in Fig. 1, shopping support system 1 includes mobile terminal 11 constituting a shopping support device, and product management server 13 connected to mobile terminal 11 via network 12. Mobile terminal 11 is assumed to be carried by a customer. Mobile terminal 11 is also an example of a shopping support device and a computer.

[0014] The product management server 13 is an information processing device that stores various information related to products sold in a store and provides the various information to the mobile terminal 11 in response to a request from the mobile terminal 11. Specifically, the product management server 13 stores a product information database 21 and a sales location database 22.

[0015] The product information database 21 is a database that stores product names and sales information of sales products corresponding to multiple types of ingredients. That is, the product information database 21 stores, for each ingredient, the product name and sales information of multiple sales products corresponding to the respective ingredients. The sales information includes the sales price and may optionally include the content volume of the sales product. The sales information further includes sale information and / or coupon information. The sale information is information indicating whether the sales product is a sale product or not, and the coupon information is information indicating whether the sales product is a coupon eligible product for which a coupon is issued. Note that the concept of "ingredients" here includes seasonings. When the product management server 13 receives a request for sales product information (product name and sales information) of ingredients from the mobile terminal 11, it extracts sales product information of the ingredients from the product information database 21 in accordance with the request, and transmits the extracted sales product information to the mobile terminal 11.

[0016] The sales location database 22 is a database that stores the sales location of each of a plurality of products sold in a store. That is, in this embodiment, the sales location database 22 stores information on the display location in the store as the sales location for each product. When the product management server 13 receives a request for information on the sales location of a product from the mobile terminal 11, it extracts information on the sales location of the product from the sales location database 22 in accordance with the request, and transmits the extracted information on the sales location to the mobile terminal 11.

[0017] The mobile terminal 11 is a portable information processing device constituted by a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or the like, and has a communication unit 32, a display operation unit 33, and a control unit 34. The communication unit 32 communicates with the product management server 13 via the network 12 by wireless communication. The display operation unit 33 is constituted by, for example, a touch panel, and functions as a display unit that displays various information and also functions as an operation unit for performing various operations. Note that a voice input device may be provided as the operation unit for performing various operations.

[0018] The control unit 34 is composed of, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), RAM (Random Access Memory), ROM (Read Only Memory), etc., and controls the communication unit 32 and the display operation unit 33. The control unit 34 also executes a predetermined application program to function as an ingredient selection unit 41, a product information acquisition unit 42, a priority determination unit 43, a product list display unit 44, a sales product selection unit 45, a shopping list creation unit 46, a shopping list display unit 47, a sales location acquisition unit 48, and a shopping route display unit 49. The ingredient selection unit 41 is an example of an ingredient input unit that inputs ingredients.

[0019] The ingredient selection unit 41 is a functional unit for selecting ingredients, and controls the display operation unit 33 to display the ingredient selection screen G1 (see FIG. 2(a)) and accept the customer's selection of ingredients. The ingredient selection screen G1 displays a list of ingredients, and the customer selects one ingredient from the list of ingredients on the ingredient selection screen G1.

[0020] The product information acquisition unit 42 controls the communication unit 32 to acquire information (product name and sales information) of the sales product corresponding to the selected ingredient from the product management server 13. In other words, the product information acquisition unit 42 requests the product name and sales information of the sales product corresponding to the ingredient selected by the ingredient selection unit 41 from the product management server 13, and receives and acquires the product name and sales information of the sales product extracted from the product information database 21 from the product management server 13.

[0021] The priority determination unit 43 sets the display priority of each sales item corresponding to the selected ingredient based on the sales information acquired by the product information acquisition unit 42. For example, the priority determination unit 43 sets a high display priority for sales items that are on sale or eligible for a coupon, and a low display priority for sales items that are not on sale or eligible for a coupon, among multiple sales items that correspond to the ingredient.

[0022] The product list display unit 44 controls the display operation unit 33 to display a product selection screen G2 (see FIG. 2(b)) that displays a list of sales products corresponding to the selected ingredient. As shown in FIG. 2(b), the product selection screen G2 displays a list of sales products corresponding to the ingredient selected by the ingredient selection unit 41 by listing the product names and sales prices, or the product names, sales prices, and content amounts of the sales products acquired by the product information acquisition unit 42. The product list display unit 44 then displays the multiple sales products corresponding to the selected ingredient in the list of sales products in order of the display priority determined by the priority determination unit 43 from the top. In this way, the sales products with high priorities based on the sales information are preferentially displayed in the list of sales products. This makes it possible to support the customer in selecting a sales product. Note that the product selection screen G2 may be configured to display only the sales products with a display priority ranking of a predetermined rank or higher among the multiple sales products corresponding to the selected ingredient. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2(b), it is preferable that the product selection screen G2 display an icon I indicating that each product on sale is a special sale product or a product eligible for a coupon, thereby displaying whether each product on the list is a special sale product or a product eligible for a coupon.

[0023] The product selection unit 45 is a functional unit for selecting a product from the list of products on the product selection screen G2, and accepts the customer's selection of a product from the list of products on the product selection screen G2 via the display operation unit 33.

[0024] The shopping list creation unit 46 creates a shopping list L to which the sales items selected by the sales item selection unit 45 are added. The shopping list L is a list of sales items to be purchased. The shopping list display unit 47 controls the display operation unit 33 to display a shopping list display screen G3 (see FIG. 3(a)) that displays the shopping list L created by the shopping list creation unit 46. As shown in FIG. 3(a), the sales item selection unit 45 selects multiple sales items, and the shopping list creation unit 46 adds the selected multiple sales items to the shopping list L, thereby completing the shopping list L. As shown in the figure, the shopping list display screen G3 displays a shopping route display button B for performing a shopping route display operation in addition to the shopping list L. The shopping list display screen G3 may also be configured to display sales information (sales price, content amount, sale information, coupon information) for each sales item in the shopping list L. The shopping list display screen G3 may also be configured to display a total amount obtained by adding up the sales prices of all sales items in the shopping list L.

[0025] The sales location acquisition unit 48 controls the communication unit 32 to acquire information on each sales location of each sales item included in the shopping list L from the product management server 13. The sales location acquisition unit 48 requests information on each sales location of each sales item included in the created shopping list L from the product management server 13, and receives and acquires the information on each sales location extracted from the sales location database 22 from the product management server 13.

[0026] The shopping route display unit 49 controls the display operation unit 33 to display the shopping route display screen G4. That is, based on the information acquired by the sales location acquisition unit 48, the shopping route display unit 49 calculates the shortest shopping route starting from the entrance of the store and visiting each sales location (display location) of each sales product, and displays each sales location of each sales product and the calculated shortest shopping route on the shopping route display screen G4. The calculation of the shortest shopping route may be performed, for example, by calculating the travel time for all travel patterns, and the shopping route of the travel pattern with the shortest travel time is set as the shortest shopping route. Also, as shown in FIG. 3(b), the shopping route display screen G4 displays a map of the store, and displays each sales location of each sales product and the shortest shopping route on the map of the store. Also, the position of the mobile terminal 11 may be displayed on the map of the store.

[0027] (Explanation of how shopping list creation works) Next, referring to Fig. 4, a shopping list creation operation by the mobile terminal 11 will be described. This shopping list creation operation is an operation in which a customer adds food products for sale that the customer plans to purchase to the shopping list L to create the shopping list L. This shopping list creation operation is assumed to be performed, for example, at home before leaving for shopping.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 4, in the shopping list creation operation, first, the ingredient selection unit 41 displays an ingredient selection screen G1 displaying a plurality of ingredients (S1), and accepts the customer's selection of ingredients (S2) (ingredient input step).

[0029] Once the selection of the ingredient is accepted, the product information acquisition unit 42 acquires information (product name and sales information) of the sales item corresponding to the selected ingredient from the product management server 13 (S3). That is, for the ingredient selected in S2, the product information acquisition unit 42 requests the product name and sales information of multiple sales items corresponding to the ingredient, and receives and acquires the product name and sales information of the sales items transmitted from the product management server 13.

[0030] After acquiring the sales product information, the priority determination unit 43 determines the display priority of the sales products based on the acquired information (S4). That is, the display priority of each sales product corresponding to the selected ingredient is set based on the sales information acquired in S3.

[0031] Once the display priority of each sales item has been determined, the product list display unit 44 displays a product selection screen G2 based on the display priority (S5) (product list display step). That is, on the product selection screen G2, the multiple sales items (product names and sales information) acquired in S3 are listed from top to bottom in the order based on the display priority determined in S4, and the list of sales items is displayed. This supports the customer's selection of sales items.

[0032] Once the product selection screen G2 has been displayed, the product selection unit 45 accepts the customer's selection of a product from the list of products on the product selection screen G2 (S6) (product selection process). Once the customer's selection of a product is accepted, the shopping list creation unit 46 creates a shopping list L to which the selected product has been added (S7) (shopping list creation process). The shopping list display unit 47 then displays a shopping list display screen G3 displaying the created shopping list L (S8) (shopping list display process). This series of operations (S1 to S8) is repeated until all food products that the customer plans to purchase have been added to the shopping list L, and the shopping list L is completed.

[0033] (Explanation of shopping route display operation) Next, a shopping route display operation by the mobile terminal 11 will be described with reference to Fig. 5. This shopping route display operation is an operation for displaying a shopping route in the shopping list L, and is performed when the shopping list L is completed and the shopping route display button B on the shopping list display screen G3 is touched. The shopping list creation operation and the shopping route display operation are examples of a shopping support method.

[0034] 5, in the shopping list display operation, first, the sales location acquisition unit 48 acquires information on the sales location of each product included in the shopping list L from the product management server 13 (S11) (sales location acquisition step). That is, for each product included in the shopping list L created in the shopping list creation operation, information on the sales location of each product is requested from the product management server 13, and the information on the sales location of each product transmitted from the product management server 13 is received and acquired.

[0035] After acquiring the information on each sales location of each product, the shopping route display unit 49 calculates the shortest shopping route that visits each sales location (display location) of each product based on the information on each sales location of each product acquired in S11 (S12), and displays a shopping route display screen G4 (S13) (shopping route display step). The shopping route display screen G4 displays the sales locations of each product acquired in S11 and the calculated shortest shopping route. This ends the shopping route display operation.

[0036] Second embodiment Next, a shopping support system 1A according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 6 and 7. The shopping support system 1A of the second embodiment is configured to display a product selection screen G2 for ingredients to be used in the selected dish after the customer selects the dish.

[0037] (Shopping support system according to the second embodiment) As shown in Fig. 6, in the shopping support system 1A of the second embodiment, the product management server 13 stores a food information database 23 in addition to a product information database 21 and a sales place database 22. The food information database 23 is a database that stores information on a plurality of dishes. The food information database 23 stores the name of each dish and ingredients (ingredients) of each dish as information on the plurality of dishes.

[0038] Moreover, the mobile terminal 11 functions as a dish selection unit 51 instead of the ingredient selection unit 41. The dish selection unit 51 controls the display operation unit 33 to display a dish selection screen showing a list of dishes (cooking recipes) and accepts the customer's selection of a dish. That is, the dish selection unit 51 requests information (dish names and ingredients) of a plurality of dishes stored in the dish information database 23, and receives and acquires information of the plurality of dishes extracted from the dish information database 23 from the product management server 13. Then, the dish selection unit 51 lists the dish names of the plurality of dishes acquired, and displays the list of dishes. Note that, although the present embodiment is configured to acquire the plurality of dishes to be displayed from the product management server 13, it may be configured to store the dishes in advance in the mobile terminal 11.

[0039] The product information acquisition unit 42 also acquires information (product name and sales information) of sales products corresponding to ingredients used in the selected dish from the product management server 13, and the product list display unit 44 displays a product selection screen G2 of sales products corresponding to the ingredients of the selected dish to display a list of sales products corresponding to the ingredients of the selected dish. In the second embodiment, the priority determination unit 43 also determines the display priority of each sales product based on the sales information acquired by the product information acquisition unit 42, and preferentially displays sales products with high display priorities in the list of sales products on the product selection screen G2. In addition, the display of the product selection screen G2 may be configured to exclude some ingredients based on home inventory information. That is, since there is no need to add the sales product of the ingredient remaining in the refrigerator or the like to the shopping list L, it is preferable that when it is determined based on the refrigerator inventory information database or the refrigerator inventory recognition means that some or all of the ingredients used in the dish are ingredients remaining in the refrigerator or the like, the ingredients are excluded and the information of the sales products is acquired and the product selection screen G2 is displayed.

[0040] (Description of Shopping List Creation Operation in Second Embodiment) In the shopping list creation operation in the second embodiment, instead of the ingredient input steps (S1 and S2), a dish selection step is executed to select a dish. That is, the dish selection unit 51 displays a dish selection screen to accept the customer's selection of a dish. Then, in a product information acquisition step (S2), information on the sales products (product name and sales information) corresponding to the ingredients of the selected dish is acquired, and in a product list display step (S4), a product selection screen G2 of the sales products corresponding to the ingredients of the selected dish is displayed. In this manner, a dish is selected, and the product selection screen G2 of the sales products corresponding to the ingredients of the selected dish is displayed, so that a shopping list L of ingredients needed to prepare a dish can be easily created.

[0041] (Actions and Effects of the Embodiments) As described above, according to the configuration of each of the above-mentioned embodiments, the shopping route display screen G4 is configured to display each sales location of each product included in the shopping list L and the shopping route that visits each sales location, so that it is possible to present the sales locations and shopping route of each product in the shopping list L to the customer, thereby supporting the customer in shopping using the shopping list L. This can increase the customer's desire to purchase.

[0042] Furthermore, according to the configuration of each of the above embodiments, the shopping route display screen G4 is configured to display the shortest shopping route, so that shopping can be done efficiently by following the displayed shopping route.

[0043] (Other embodiments) Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the above-mentioned embodiments do not limit the invention according to the claims. It should be noted that not all of the combinations of features described in the embodiments are essential to the means for solving the problems of the invention. The present invention can be modified appropriately without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[0044] For example, in the above embodiment, the mobile terminal 11 and the product management server 13 are configured to use the product name of the product for sale as an identifier for the product for sale to specify the product for sale, refer to a database, etc. However, instead of the product name of the product for sale, a product code unique to the product for sale linked to each product name may be used as an identifier for the product for sale to specify the product for sale, refer to a database, etc.

[0045] In addition, in each of the above embodiments, the product names of the products for sale are stored in the product information database 21, the product names are acquired from the product management server 13, and the product names are displayed in the product list display unit 44, but it is also possible to store an image of the product for sale in addition to the product name in the product information database 21, and display the image of the product for sale in addition to the product name in the product list display unit 44. It is also possible to store an image of the product for sale in the product information database 21 instead of the product name of the product for sale, and display the image of the product for sale in the product list display unit 44 instead of the product name.

[0046] In addition, in each of the above embodiments, in order to preferentially display sales items with a high priority based on the sales information, the product selection screen G2 is configured to display multiple sales items corresponding to ingredients in order of priority based on the sales information from top to bottom, but it may also be configured to display only sales items (e.g., the top five items) of the multiple sales items corresponding to ingredients that have a priority ranking based on the sales information that is equal to or higher than a predetermined ranking.

[0047] In addition, in each of the above embodiments, the product list display unit 44 is configured to preferentially display (present) on the product selection screen G2 a sales product having a high priority based on sales information. However, the product selection screen G2 may be configured to preferentially display (present) a sales product having a high priority based on customer preference information. For example, a selection history of sales products on the product selection screen G2 may be stored as customer preference information, and a sales product selected in the past may be preferentially displayed. Note that the customer preference information may be configured to use preference information (selection history, etc.) of an individual customer, or may be configured to use preference information of the entire customer. The product list display unit 44 may be configured to preferentially display (present) on the product selection screen G2 a sales product having a high priority based on sales information and customer preference information. The product list display unit 44 may be configured to preferentially display (present) on the product selection screen G2 a sales product having a high priority based on sales information and a sales product having a high priority based on customer preference information.

[0048] In addition, in each of the above embodiments, the determination of the display priority of products for sale, the creation of a list of products for sale, the generation of the product selection screen G2, the calculation of a shopping route, the generation of the shopping route display screen G4, etc. are configured to be performed by the mobile terminal 11, but the determination of the display priority of products for sale, the creation of a list of products for sale, the generation of the product selection screen G2, the calculation of a shopping route, the generation of the shopping route display screen G4, etc. may be configured to be performed by the product management server 13. In other words, some of the functions of the priority determination unit 43, the product list display unit 44, and the shopping route display unit 49 may be executed by the product management server 13.

[0049] In the first embodiment, the mobile terminal 11 has the ingredient selection unit 41, and in the second embodiment, the mobile terminal 11 has the dish selection unit 51. However, the mobile terminal 11 may have both the ingredient selection unit 41 and the dish selection unit 51. In this case, the product list display unit 44 displays, on the product selection screen G2, a list of products for sale corresponding to the ingredients selected by the ingredient selection unit 41 and products for sale corresponding to the ingredients of the dish selected by the dish selection unit 51. For example, when an ingredient is selected on the ingredient selection screen G1, the product selection screen G2 displays a list of products for sale corresponding to the ingredients selected by the ingredient selection unit 41, and when a dish is selected on the dish selection screen G2, the product selection screen G2 displays a list of products for sale corresponding to the ingredients of the dish selected by the dish selection unit 51. With this configuration, in addition to ingredients related to the selected dish, ingredients unrelated to the dish can be added to the shopping list L.

[0050] In addition, in each of the above embodiments, the display priority of the sales product is determined based on sale information and / or coupon information as the sales information, but the display priority of the sales product may be determined based on the sales priority of the store as the sales information. The sales priority of the store can be appropriately selected based on, for example, a large amount of store inventory, a short expiration date, or a high profit margin of the sales product.

[0051] In the above embodiments, the shopping route display screen G4 is configured to display a map and each sales location and shopping route on the map, but the shopping route display screen G4 may be configured to display an AR (Augmented Reality) image in which an image or text indicating each sales location and shopping route is superimposed on a captured image. For example, the mobile terminal 11 may be equipped with an imaging camera, and the shopping route display unit 49 may generate an AR image in which an image or text indicating each sales location and shopping route is superimposed on a real-time captured image captured by the imaging camera, and the generated AR image may be displayed on the shopping route display screen G4. Examples of images indicating sales locations and shopping routes include arrows and images of products.

[0052] In addition, in each of the above embodiments, the shopping route display screen G4 is configured to display both each sales location and the shopping route, but it may be configured to display only either each sales location or the shopping route.

[0053] In each of the above embodiments, the shopping route display screen G4 is configured to display the shopping route with the shortest travel time, but it may also display the shopping route with the shortest travel distance. Also, it is not limited to displaying the shortest shopping route, and may be configured to display a shopping route that is not the shortest.

[0054] In addition, in each of the above embodiments, the configuration is such that products sold at a determined store are displayed on the product selection screen G2 and a shopping route at the determined store is displayed, but the present invention is not limited to this. That is, the configuration may be such that a store can be set, products sold at the set store are displayed on the product selection screen G2, and a shopping route at the set store is displayed. In such a case, for example, the configuration may be such that location information of the mobile terminal 11 is obtained by short-distance communication, network information, GPS reception information, or the like, and the store is automatically set based on the location information of the mobile terminal 11. Note that when a customer selects and sets a store, it is preferable to transmit the result of the store selection by the customer to the product management server 13.

[0055] In addition, in each of the above embodiments, the product selection screen G2 displays the products sold at one store, and the shopping route for one store is displayed, but the present invention is not limited to this. That is, the product selection screen G2 may display products sold at multiple stores. In this case, the sales location acquisition unit 48 acquires the address of the sales store selling the products as information on the sales location of each product in the shopping list L, and the shopping route display unit 49 calculates the shortest shopping route that travels around each sales store of each product in the shopping list L, and displays it on the shopping route display screen G4. In this case, for example, the location information of the mobile terminal 11 is acquired by GPS reception information or the like, and the address of the location information is set as the starting point of the shopping route. Note that a shopping route that travels around each sales store and a shopping route that travels around the sales locations (display locations) in each sales store may be created, and the display may be switched between these two shopping routes. For example, based on the location information of the mobile terminal 11, when the user arrives at each store, the display may be switched from a shopping route that visits each store to a shopping route that visits the sales locations within the store.

[0056] In each of the above embodiments, the mobile terminal 11 is configured to have the ingredient selection unit 41, product information acquisition unit 42, priority determination unit 43, product list display unit 44, sales product selection unit 45, shopping list creation unit 46, shopping list display unit 47, sales location acquisition unit 48, shopping route display unit 49 and dish selection unit 51, but the product management server 13 or another information processing device may have some or all of these units. In such a case, a system including the product management server 13 or another information processing device and the mobile terminal 11 can be said to be an example of a shopping support device.

[0057] Furthermore, in the first embodiment, information on which ingredients a customer selected on the ingredient selection screen G1 was sent to the product management server 13, but in each of the above embodiments, the selection results of the products for sale on the product selection screen G2 may be sent to the product management server 13. Furthermore, in the second embodiment, information on which dish a customer selected on the dish selection screen may be sent to the product management server 13. This configuration allows the store to better understand customer preference information.

[0058] In addition, in the first embodiment, ingredients are input by selecting ingredients on the ingredient selection screen G1, but an ingredient input screen may be displayed and ingredients may be directly input.

[0059] In addition, in each of the above embodiments, the mobile terminal 11 has a shopping list creation unit 46, and the shopping route display unit 49 is configured to display the sales location and shopping route of each product in the shopping list L created on the shopping support system 1, but the mobile terminal 11 may also be configured to have a shopping list input unit for inputting the completed shopping list L, and the shopping route display unit 49 to display the sales location and shopping route of each product in the input shopping list L.
