The auto-lock door 36 automatically locks (or closes) after a certain period of time has elapsed since it is unlocked (or opened). The door of the auto-lock door 36 may be a sliding door or a hinged door.

[0036] The information terminal 40 is an information terminal used as a user interface for an operator (more specifically, an employee belonging to the operator) who wishes to distribute advertisements to create advertisements. The information terminal 40 is, for example, a stationary information terminal such as a personal computer, but may also be a portable information terminal such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal. Specifically, the information terminal 40 includes a communication unit 41, an information processing unit 42, a storage unit 43, an operation reception unit 44, and a display unit 45.

[0037] The communication unit 41 is a communication module (communication circuit) for the information terminal 40 to communicate with the server system 20 and the intercom master unit 32 via the wide area communication network 80. The communication performed by the communication unit 41 is, for example, wired communication, but may also be wireless communication. The communication standard used for communication is not particularly limited either.

[0038] The information processing unit 42 performs information processing related to the display of advertisements. The information processing unit 42 is realized by, for example, a microcomputer, but may also be realized by a processor. The functions of the information processing unit 42 are realized, for example, by a microcomputer or a processor constituting the information processing unit 42 executing a computer program stored in the storage unit 32c.

[0039] The storage unit 43 is a storage device that stores information necessary for the above information processing and computer programs executed by the information processing unit 42. The storage unit 43 is realized by, for example, a semiconductor memory, but may also be realized by an HDD.

[0040] The operation reception unit 44 receives the operations of the business operator who wishes to distribute advertisements. The operation reception unit 44 is realized by, for example, a mouse and a keyboard, but may also be realized by a touch panel.

[0041] The display unit 45 displays advertisements. The display unit 45 is realized by a display panel such as a liquid crystal panel or an organic EL (Electro Luminescence) panel.

[0042] The mobile terminal 50 is a portable information terminal such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal used by the resident of the exclusive part 102. In the advertisement display system 10, the mobile terminal 50 is used to display a coupon screen (described later). In FIG. 1, the mobile terminal 50 is located within the exclusive part 102, but may also be located outside the exclusive part 102 (outside the apartment house 100). Since the components of the mobile terminal 50 are the same as those of the information terminal 40, detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0043] [Advertisement display operation] As described above, the advertisement display system 10 (server system 20) can create an advertisement based on the operation on the information terminal 40 of the business operator who wishes to distribute the advertisement, and distribute the created advertisement to the intercom master unit 32. Hereinafter, the advertisement display operation of such an advertisement display system 10 will be described. FIG. 2 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the advertisement display operation of the advertisement display system 10.

[0044] A business operator who wishes to distribute an advertisement performs a predetermined first operation on the information terminal 40 to access the server system 20. The predetermined first operation includes an operation for executing a browser or a predetermined application program, and an input operation of account information (login ID and password) issued to the business operator in advance. When the operation reception unit 44 of the information terminal 40 receives the predetermined first operation (S11), the information processing unit 42 communicates with the server system 20 using the communication unit 41, and receives information for displaying an advertisement creation screen from the server system 20 (omitted in FIG. 2), and displays the advertisement creation screen on the display unit 45 (S12). FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of an advertisement creation screen.

[0045] When the advertisement creation screen in FIG. 3 is displayed, the business operator performs a predetermined second operation for creating an advertisement, and the operation reception unit 44 receives the predetermined second operation (S13). The predetermined second operation includes an input operation of the period during which the advertisement is to be distributed, the title of the advertisement, and the text of the advertisement, an operation of uploading an image to be displayed as the advertisement, an operation of specifying whether to add a two-dimensional code to the advertisement, and an operation of specifying the distribution destination of the advertisement. In the example of FIG. 3, the distribution destination of the advertisement is specified in units of apartment houses. That is, the second operation includes an operation of selecting (specifying) the distribution destination of the advertisement in units of apartment houses. Since the server system 20 can distribute an advertisement using the household identification number stored (registered) in advance in the storage unit 32c of the intercom master unit 32, it is also possible to specify the distribution destination in a finer unit such as a floor unit within the apartment house 100 or a building unit included in the apartment house 100.

[0046] When the operation reception unit 44 receives the predetermined second operation, the information processing unit 42 uses the communication unit 41 to transmit a registration request for the advertisement created by the second operation to the server system 20 (S14).

[0047] The communication unit 21 of the server system 20 receives an advertisement registration request. Based on the received registration request, the information processing unit 22 registers an advertisement having content determined by a predetermined second operation in the storage unit 23 (S15).

[0048] After that, when the start date (start timing) of the period during which the advertisement registered in step S15 is to be distributed arrives, the information processing unit 22 sends a new arrival notice of the advertisement to the intercom master unit 32 of the apartment house 100 that is the distribution destination of the advertisement. Specifically, the information processing unit 22 uses the communication unit 21 to send the new arrival notice information to the intercom master unit 32 (S16).

[0049] The communication unit 32a of the intercom master unit 32 receives the new arrival notice information. Based on the received new arrival notice information, the information processing unit 32b notifies the resident that there is a newly viewable advertisement (S17). The information processing unit 32b performs the notification, for example, by performing at least one of control to cause the light emitting unit 32f to emit light and control to cause the speaker 32g to output a notification sound.

[0050] The resident who has received the notification performs a predetermined third operation on the intercom master unit 32 to display the advertisement list screen, and the operation reception unit 32d receives the predetermined third operation (S18). The information processing unit 32b communicates with the server system 20 using the communication unit 41, and receives information for displaying the advertisement list screen from the server system 20 (not shown in FIG. 2), and displays the advertisement list screen on the display unit 32e (S19). FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the advertisement list screen.

[0051] On the advertisement list screen, in addition to the advertisements that were previously viewable, newly viewable advertisements are added. When the advertisement list screen is displayed on the display unit 32e, the resident performs an advertisement selection operation, and the operation reception unit 32d receives the selection operation (S20). Based on the received selection operation, the information processing unit 32b transmits a display request for the selected advertisement to the server system 20 using the communication unit 32a (S21). Here, the storage unit 32c of the intercom master unit 32 stores the apartment identification number of the exclusive unit 102 where the intercom master unit 32 is installed (for example, 303 if the exclusive unit 102 is Room 303). The information processing unit 32b reads out this apartment identification number and includes the read apartment identification number in the display request.

[0052] The communication unit 21 of the server system 20 receives the display request. Based on the received display request, the information processing unit 22 transmits advertisement information for displaying the advertisement determined by the selection operation (selected by the resident) to the intercom master unit 32 using the communication unit 21 (S22).

[0053] The communication unit 32a of the intercom master unit 32 receives the advertisement information. Based on the received advertisement information, the information processing unit 32b displays the advertisement on the display unit 32e (S23). FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the advertisement display screen.

[0054] In addition, when it is specified to add a two-dimensional code to the advertisement on the advertisement creation screen, a region described as "Get Coupon" as shown in FIG. 5 is displayed. When the resident performs an operation to select the region, a two-dimensional code is displayed within the region. The two-dimensional code indicates, for example, the URL of a coupon page (such as a household-exclusive screen described later) dedicated to the resident for receiving benefits when purchasing a product or service. The URL of the coupon page is an example of coupon information. The two-dimensional code can be read by the camera of the mobile terminal 50. Note that the two-dimensional code may also indicate the URL of a website prepared by a business operator who wishes to distribute the advertisement.

[0055] In this way, the advertising display system 10 can create an advertisement based on an operation on the information terminal 40 of a business operator who wishes to distribute the advertisement, and distribute the created advertisement to the intercom master unit 32.

[0056] [Questionnaire display operation] On the display unit 32e of the intercom master unit 32, a questionnaire regarding at least one of the attributes of the resident and the interests of the resident may be displayed. The attributes of the resident include information such as age, gender, family composition, occupation, and annual income. The interests of the resident are, for example, stores around the apartment building 100 that the resident is interested in.

[0057] In this case, the information processing unit 32b uses the communication unit 32a to transmit to the server system 20 response information indicating the resident's response to the questionnaire and having a household identification number assigned thereto.

[0058] Thereby, the information processing unit 22 of the server system 20 can associate the household identification number acquired in step S21 or the like with the response to the questionnaire, that is, at least one of the attributes and interests of the resident. Then, it is possible to perform an analysis (such as statistical processing) of at least one of the attributes and interests of the resident who purchased the product or service, such as aggregating at least one of the attributes and interests of the resident who used the coupon and purchased the product or service.

[0059] Note that, in order to prompt the resident to answer the questionnaire, coupon information may be included in the advertisement on the condition that the resident answers the questionnaire. That is, coupon information may be displayed on the condition that the resident answers the questionnaire. In this case, for example, instead of FIG. 5, an advertisement display screen as shown in FIG. 6 may be displayed. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of an advertisement display screen on which coupon information is displayed on the condition that the resident answers the questionnaire.

[0060] [Two-dimensional code display operation] When the advertisement includes coupon information, the operation when a two-dimensional code is displayed on the display unit of the intercom master unit will be described. FIG. 7 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the two-dimensional code display operation.

[0061] When the advertisement display screen of FIG. 5 or FIG. 6 is being displayed, the resident performs a predetermined fourth operation, and the operation reception unit 32d receives the predetermined fourth operation (S31). The predetermined fourth operation is, for example, a tap operation on the area described as "Get Coupon" on the advertisement display screen of FIG. 5. The predetermined fourth operation may be a tap operation on the area described as "Answer Questionnaire" on the advertisement display screen of FIG. 6 and the operation performed to answer the questionnaire.

[0062] When the information processing unit 32b of the intercom master unit 32 receives the fourth operation, it transmits a coupon issuance request to the server system 20 using the communication unit 32a (S32). The coupon issuance request includes the apartment identification number of the exclusive section 102 where the intercom master unit 32 is installed.

[0063] The communication unit 21 of the server system 20 receives the coupon issuance request. The information processing unit 22 stores, in the storage unit 23, coupon issuance history information in which the apartment identification number included in the received coupon issuance request is associated with the content of the coupon issued to the intercom master unit 32 corresponding to the apartment identification number (S33). Further, the information processing unit 22 transmits the URL information of the resident-exclusive screen to the intercom master unit 32 using the communication unit 21 (S34). The URL indicated by the URL information is a unique URL dedicated to the intercom master unit 32 (exclusive section 102), and the apartment identification number is stored in the URL.

[0064] The communication unit 32a of the intercom master unit 32 receives the URL information. The information processing unit 32b displays a two-dimensional code obtained by encoding the received URL information (S35).

[0065] [Display operation of coupon screen] Next, the operation when the resident uses the coupon information to display the coupon screen on the mobile terminal 50 and purchases goods or services will be described. FIG. 8 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the display operation of the coupon screen.

[0066] The resident performs a predetermined operation on the mobile terminal 50 in which the browser is running to activate the camera of the mobile terminal 50. The mobile terminal 50 reads the two-dimensional code displayed in step S34 using the activated camera (S41).

[0067] Based on the read two-dimensional code, the mobile terminal 50 communicates with the server system 20 and transmits a request to display the exclusive screen for the household to the server system 20 (S42). The communication unit 21 of the server system 20 receives the request to display the exclusive screen for the household.

[0068] Here, as described in the display operation of the two-dimensional code, the two-dimensional code indicates a unique URL for each proprietary unit 102, and the household identification number is stored in the URL. Therefore, the information processing unit 22 generates terminal identification information, associates the generated terminal identification information with the household identification number stored in the above URL, and stores it in the storage unit 23 (S43).

[0069] Furthermore, the information processing unit 22 transmits the generated terminal identification information to the mobile terminal 50 using the communication unit 21 (S44).

[0070] The mobile terminal 50 receives the terminal identification information and stores the received terminal identification information (S45). Thereafter, the terminal identification information is attached to the information transmitted from the mobile terminal 50 to the server system 20, and the information processing unit 22 of the server system 20 identifies the intercom master unit 32 (proprietary unit 102) based on the terminal identification information. Therefore, the resident can access the coupon issuance history information exclusive to the resident without performing membership registration or login operations.

[0071] In step S45, a household - exclusive screen is displayed on the mobile terminal 50. By having the resident memorize (bookmark) the URL of the household - exclusive screen on the mobile terminal 50, the processes in steps S41 to S44 can be omitted, and from the next time onwards, the process in step S46 can be started.

[0072] Next, the mobile terminal 50 communicates with the server system 20 and transmits a request to display the coupon screen to the server system 20 (S46).

[0073] The communication unit 21 of the server system 20 receives the request to display the coupon screen. The information processing unit 22 identifies the household identification number based on the terminal identification information attached to the received second request and the association in step S43, and identifies the coupon issuance history information corresponding to the identified household identification information (S47). The coupon list information for displaying the coupons included in the identified coupon issuance history information is transmitted to the mobile terminal 50 using the communication unit 21 (S48).

[0074] The mobile terminal 50 receives the terminal identification information and displays a list screen of coupons based on the received coupon list information (S49). FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the coupon list screen.

[0075] When the coupon list screen is displayed, the resident performs a selection operation on a coupon, and the mobile terminal 50d accepts the selection operation (S50). The mobile terminal 50 displays the coupon screen of the selected coupon based on the accepted selection operation (S51). FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the coupon screen.

[0076] After showing the coupon screen displayed on the mobile terminal 50 to the store clerk (an employee of the store) and receiving the privilege, the resident performs a predetermined fifth operation to notify that the coupon has been used. The fifth operation is, for example, a tap operation on the operable area 51 (button) of the coupon screen. When the mobile terminal 50 accepts the fifth operation (S52), it transmits a used notification to the server system 20 (S53).

[0077] The communication unit 21 of the server system 20 receives a used notice. Based on the terminal identification information attached to the received used notice, the information processing unit 22 associates a coupon used flag with the target coupon included in the coupon issuance history information (S54).

[0078] In this way, in the advertisement display system 10, unique coupon information is displayed on the display unit 32e of the intercom master unit 32 for each proprietary unit 102, so that the proprietary unit 102 of the apartment house 100 where the coupon user lives can be grasped. The coupon user is a person who has purchased a product or service by viewing the advertisement display screen of FIG. 5 or FIG. 6. Therefore, the advertisement display system 10 can easily manage the record of how many people (advertising effect) have purchased the product or service targeted by the advertisement as a result of distributing the advertisement. That is, the advertisement display system 10 can realize a valuable advertisement that is easy to grasp the advertising effect. Note that the advertisement display system 10 can also grasp the number of residents who have obtained the coupon but have not purchased the product (have not used the coupon).

[0079] [Effects, etc.] Hereinafter, the invention obtained from the disclosure of this specification will be exemplified, and the effects, etc. obtained from the exemplified invention will be described.
