Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an advertising system using a mobile terminal.

Background Art

[0002] As one of the sales promotion methods, a stamp rally is held. In a stamp rally, usually, the sales company of a product or service becomes the rally organizer and installs a card sheet and a stamp at a checkpoint. The rally participants go around the checkpoints in sequence, press the stamp on a predetermined card sheet, and when they submit the card sheet with a predetermined number or more of stamps pressed to the rally organizer, the rally participants are provided with prizes and the like from the rally organizer.

[0003] Such a stamp rally using a card sheet and a stamp is costly for the rally organizer because they have to install and manage the card sheet and the stamp at the checkpoint, and there is an inconvenience for the rally participants in that they have to carry a predetermined card sheet. For this reason, a method of conducting a stamp rally using a mobile terminal has been proposed.

[0004] For example, a method has been proposed in which the rally organizer requests a mobile phone company to distribute a campaign advertisement for the stamp rally that designates the checkpoints of the stamp rally, the campaign advertisement is distributed to the users of the mobile terminal, and when the user of the mobile terminal views the campaign advertisement and reaches the checkpoint, the mobile phone company transmits a stamp electronically signed with respect to the location information and the current time of the base station with which the mobile phone is communicating to the mobile phone (Patent Document 1).

[0005] In addition, a method has been proposed in which a reader / writer capable of non-contact communication is installed at a checkpoint, and the user of the mobile terminal is guided to download a specific application to the mobile terminal. When the mobile terminal on which the application has been downloaded reaches the checkpoint, a stamp is impressed on the application through communication by the reader / writer (Patent Document 2). According to this method, it is possible to attach an advertisement to the application used in the stamp rally, and thus effective advertisement distribution is said to be possible.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0007] However, in the conventional sales promotion method of conducting a stamp rally using a mobile terminal, it is difficult to confirm the advertising effect by the stamp rally, and the types and numbers of advertisements that can be presented to the user of the mobile terminal by conducting the stamp rally are also limited.

[0008] In contrast, an object of the present invention is to provide an advertising system that can hold an event such as a stamp rally, can easily confirm the direct advertising effect of the event, and further enables an advertiser to present a desired advertisement to a user during the event.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0009] The inventor has defined a predetermined checkpoint for guiding the user of a mobile terminal to visit, such as a stamp rally, and when conducting an event that grants a privilege for reaching the checkpoint, an advertisement having a specific function to be managed by an advertisement management server is used as the checkpoint. When the user of the mobile terminal reaches the advertisement serving as the checkpoint and accesses the advertisement management server to obtain a privilege, the user will actively search for the advertisement serving as the checkpoint due to the fun brought by the game nature of the rally and the desire to obtain the privilege, resulting in an increase in the advertisement effect. Also, by aggregating the accesses to the advertisement management server at the checkpoint, the inventor found that the effect of the event of guiding the user of the mobile terminal to view a predetermined advertisement can be confirmed, and thus the present invention was conceived.

[0010] That is, the present invention provides an advertisement management server that manages an event in which users of mobile terminals participate, and an advertisement (hereinafter referred to as an "event advertisement") that is registered in the advertisement management server as an advertisement targeted for the event and has a display indicating that it is targeted for the event (hereinafter referred to as an "event target display") and an information code. This is an advertisement system in which when the information code of the event advertisement is read into the mobile terminal and the advertisement management server is accessed by the mobile terminal, the advertisement management server notifies the mobile terminal of a privilege for the access. The event advertisements are installed at a plurality of predetermined locations, and the information code of the event advertisement includes a location code assigned to each installation location, an advertisement code assigned to each event advertisement, and URL information of the advertisement management server. The advertisement management server has a function of storing information on the location code and the corresponding installation location, information on the advertisement code and the corresponding advertisement information such as advertiser information, information on the advertisement publication date, information on the advertisement fee, the event holding period, event privileges, and privilege granting rules. A function of determining the validity of the access when the information code of the event advertisement is read into the mobile terminal and the advertisement management server is accessed by the mobile terminal. When it is determined that the access is valid, associate the access with a location code for each mobile terminal and register it as an object for which a privilege is to be granted. Based on the privilege granting rules, determine a privilege for the access registered as an object for which a privilege is to be granted for each mobile terminal. Function to send the information of the determined privilege to the mobile terminal. When the advertising management server is notified by the user of the mobile terminal of the use of a privilege, function to exclude the access related to the used privilege from the objects for which a privilege is to be granted, and Function to count the number of accesses to the advertising management server during the event holding period for each location code of the event advertisement and output the aggregation result. Provide an advertising system having the above functions.

[0011] Furthermore, the present invention is an advertising method using the above-described advertising system, wherein an advertising manager who operates an advertising management server registers information on the location code and the corresponding installation location, information on the advertisement code and the corresponding advertisement information of the advertiser, information on the advertisement posting date, information on the advertising fee, the event holding period, the event privilege, and the privilege granting rules in the advertising management server, and provides an advertising method of reporting to the advertiser the aggregation result of the number of accesses to the advertising management server for each installation location of the event advertisement output from the advertising management server after the notification of the event holding and billing the advertising fee.

Advantages of the Invention

[0012] According to the advertising system of the present invention, an advertising management server and an event advertisement are provided. When the information code of the event advertisement is read by a mobile terminal and the advertising management server is accessed, the advertising management server determines the validity of the access based on the location code. If the access is valid, the access is registered as an object for which a privilege is to be granted, and according to a predetermined specific granting rule, a privilege is determined for the access for each mobile terminal, and the information of the privilege is transmitted to the mobile terminal. Therefore, the user of the mobile terminal searches for event advertisements installed at multiple locations with a gaming feeling of enjoying a stamp rally, so the event advertisements bring a greater advertising effect compared to the advertisements simply installed.

[0013] In particular, when the event advertisement is installed in the advertiser's store or facility, the event can directly attract customers into the store or facility.

[0014] Furthermore, since the advertisement management server can determine the validity of the user's access based on the location code, it is possible to aggregate by the installation location of the event advertisement, and the advertiser can easily know the effect of the event.

[0015] Also, for the advertisement manager who manages the advertisement management server, once the installation location of the advertisement that will become an event advertisement and information such as the advertiser are registered in the advertisement management server, from the registered advertisements, appropriate advertisements are selected for each theme of the new event to plan the event, propose it to the advertiser, and it becomes possible to carry out an efficient advertising activity by holding the event.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0017] Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings. This system is used for implementing an event in which, for example, like a stamp rally where rally participants tour checkpoints to obtain stamps and get a privilege by obtaining a predetermined number of stamps, the user of the mobile terminal searches for advertisements installed at a plurality of predetermined locations, reaches the advertisement, accesses the advertisement management server, and the access is recorded, and a privilege can be obtained based on the access.

[0018] Figure 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of an advertising system according to an embodiment of the present invention. This advertising system includes an advertising management server 1 managed by an advertising manager engaged in the advertising industry or the like, and an event advertisement 2.

[0019] <<Event Advertisement>> The event advertisement 2 is registered in the advertising management server 1 as an advertisement targeted at an event, and has a display 3 indicating that it is targeted at an event and an information code 4. The individual advertisement content 5 published in the event advertisement 2 is appropriately determined by the advertiser of the event advertisement 2.

[0020] As the display 3 indicating that it is targeted at an event, it can be any character string, mark, etc. that can visually distinguish the event advertisement 2 from other advertisements. This display 3 is appropriately determined by the advertising manager. Also, what kind of characters, marks, etc. this display 3 is composed of is clarified in the notice of the event held to widely inform the general public of the event.

[0021] The information code 4 includes a location code assigned to each installation location of the event advertisement 2, an advertisement code assigned to each event advertisement, and the URL information of the advertising management server. The information code 4 is issued by the advertising manager.

[0022] The information code 4 is provided in the event advertisement 2 as a two-dimensional code, an RF tag, etc., and when read by the mobile terminal 10, enables the mobile terminal 10 to access the advertising management server 1.

[0023] As a specific embodiment of the two-dimensional code, when the event advertisement 2 is made on a billboard, sticker, drawing, etc., a two-dimensional code may be displayed within the advertisement display, or a printed matter with the two-dimensional code displayed may be attached to the advertisement display separately. When the event advertisement 2 is displayed by video in digital vision, a two-dimensional code may be displayed in a part of the video during the display time of the advertisement video, or the two-dimensional code in this advertisement video may be always displayed during the display time of the advertisement video.

[0024] <<Advertisement Management Server>> The advertisement management server 1 is composed of one or more computers and has functions such as a storage function, a communication function, a judgment function, and a tallying function. <Storage Function of Advertisement Management Server> In the storage unit of the advertisement management server 1, (a) the location code and the information of the installation location corresponding thereto, (b) the advertisement code and the advertisement information corresponding thereto are stored, and (c) as event-related information, the event holding period, event benefits, benefit granting rules, etc. are stored, and (d) other information is stored as necessary. These are registered in the advertisement management server by the advertisement administrator.

[0025] Among these, (a) the information of the installation location includes the address of a fixed installation location such as a building wall where the event advertisement is posted, a vending machine wall, a utility pole, digital vision, etc. The installation location of the event advertisement may be something that moves such as a train, bus, taxi, etc., as long as the installation destination can be specified. In that case, the information of the installation location includes the route name, operation area, operation time, operating company of the operating agency, etc.

[0026] Also, the installation location of the event advertisement may be a website on the web as long as it is viewable by the general public, and the information of the installation location may include information such as the URL of the site and the viewable time.

[0027] In the information on the installation location, when the advertiser and the provider of the advertising installation location are different, it can also include the type of business for which advertising can be installed at the advertising installation location, the information (ID) of the provider of the advertising installation location, and information such as the usage fee of the advertising installation location.

[0028] In the advertising system of the present invention, when the installation location of the event advertisement 2 is within the advertiser's store or facility, it is preferable because the store or facility can directly enjoy the effect of attracting customers by the event.

[0029] (b) The advertising information includes (b-1) information of the advertiser, (b-2) information of the advertisement publication date, and (b-3) information of the advertising fee, etc. It is preferable to include (b-4) the type of advertisement and the display content in the advertisement in the advertising information.

[0030] Here, (b-1) the information of the advertiser can include the address of the advertiser, name, ID of the advertiser, URL of the advertiser, business type of the advertiser, etc.

[0031] (b-2) The information of the advertisement publication date can include the start date of publication, end date of publication, advertisement publication period, etc. Note that the advertisement publication date can be determined separately from the holding period of the event.

[0032] (b-3) The information of the advertising fee can include the basic advertising publication fee charged to the advertiser and the unit price when charging according to the number of accesses when the advertising management server accesses from the mobile terminal by the information code attached to the advertisement. Also, as will be described later, when the advertising management server 1 causes the mobile terminal 10 to transition to the advertiser's homepage and the advertiser's advertisement screen is displayed on the mobile terminal 10, a charging unit price according to the number of transitions to the homepage may be included. Furthermore, on the advertiser's homepage, it may be charged when the user of the mobile terminal 10 completes the application for the advertiser's product or service, and a charging unit price according to the number of applications for the product or service in that case may also be included.

[0033] As types of advertisements, it is possible to include types of advertising methods such as billboards, stickers, drawings, digital vision, web, etc., and types of advertising content such as real estate advertisements, recruitment advertisements, product advertisements, service advertisements, performance advertisements for music and theater, branding, etc. In addition, as the display content of the advertisement, it is possible to include a thumbnail of the appearance of the advertisement, etc.

[0034] From the point of guiding people in a certain region or people who visit the region for tourism, etc. with advertising content with a certain region such as real estate advertisements, recruitment advertisements, theater advertisements, tourist attraction guides, etc. to the people in the region or people who visit the region for tourism, etc. through advertising media with a certain region, as types of advertisements, it is preferable to install billboards on buildings, vending machines, utility poles, etc., paste stickers, display images on digital vision installed in a predetermined place, etc.

[0035] (c) Information related to events Among the information related to events, as information regarding the event holding period, it is possible to list the event start date, event end date, event holding period, etc. The event holding period may be set for a predetermined number of days every month or every season.

[0036] As information regarding the benefits of the event, for example, when ranking the number of accesses within a predetermined period, benefits corresponding to the rank can be determined. Also, regardless of the number of accesses, benefits that mobile terminal users can obtain when accessing even once may be determined. More specifically, it is possible to list gifts of products or services, discount coupons, specific places where benefits can be obtained, etc. Note that the advertisement administrator may request the advertisement provider to provide benefits, or a part of the advertisement fee charged by the advertisement administrator to the advertisement provider may be appropriated for providing benefits.

[0037] The rules for granting benefits can be determined by the advertisement administrator as appropriate. For example, the number of accesses within a predetermined period can be ranked, and benefits can be granted according to the rank. Even with the same number of accesses, the rank may be changed depending on the day of the week or the date.

[0038] When accessing based on the event advertisement 2 at all installation locations, it may be possible to obtain a particularly high rank. You may change the benefits or the rank of the benefits according to the combination of the accessed installation locations. For example, when the access locations are widespread, enable obtaining high benefits.

[0039] Regarding the rules for granting benefits, the order of cycling through the event advertisements may be defined. However, from the perspective that the main effect of this system is to allow the users of the mobile terminals to reach the event advertisements, it is preferable not to define the order of cycling through the event advertisements.

[0040] (d) Others As other information to be stored in the advertisement management server 1, it is possible to register the conditions for invalidating an access even when there is an access from the mobile terminal 10 to the advertisement management server 1. For example, it is possible to invalidate access based on the second and subsequent readings of the information code 4 of the event advertisement 2 at the same installation location during one event holding period.

[0041] <Communication function of the advertisement management server> When the mobile terminal 10 has the information code 4 as information written in a two-dimensional code or an RF tag, the advertisement management server 1 has a communication function used when connecting to the Internet based on that information, publishing a notice of the event on the network, providing information about benefits to the user of the mobile terminal 10, or transmitting the aggregation result of the access count to the advertiser. In addition, when the mobile terminal 10 has the information code 4 as information written in an RF tag, the advertisement management server 1 has the function of a reader / writer for non-contact communication with the RF tag.

[0042] <Advertisement management server judgment function, etc.> When the mobile terminal 10 accesses the advertisement management server 1, the advertisement management server 1 reads the location code and advertisement code included in the information code 4 from the mobile terminal 10, and refers to various information registered as advertisement information of the event advertisement 2 from the advertisement code. The advertisement management server 1 may be able to utilize the information stored in the mobile terminal 10. Then, based on the location code, advertisement code, and the referred information, the advertisement management server 1 (i) has a determination function for determining the validity of the access from the mobile terminal 10 to the advertisement management server 1, particularly, a function for determining the validity of the second and subsequent accesses when accesses based on the same event advertisement are repeatedly made from the same mobile terminal during one event holding period according to a predetermined rule; (ii) when it is determined that the access is valid, has a function of associating the access with the location code for each mobile terminal and storing it as an object for privilege granting; (iii) has a function of determining a privilege for the access stored as an object for privilege granting for each mobile terminal 10 based on the stored privilege granting rule; (iv) when the advertisement management server 1 transmits privilege information based on the access from the mobile terminal 10 to the user of the mobile terminal 10, the user of the mobile terminal 10 actually acquires a privilege based on the privilege information, and when it is notified from the privilege acquisition destination to the advertisement management server 1 that the privilege has been acquired, has a function of excluding the access related to the privilege from the objects for subsequent privilege granting; (v) has a function of aggregating the number of accesses to the advertisement management server 1 during the event holding period for each installation location of the event advertisement 2 and outputting the aggregation result. It has the following functions.

[0043] Figure 2 is a flowchart of an advertisement method using the advertisement management system. Hereinafter, this process will be described according to the reference numerals attached to Figure 2. (1) When using this advertisement management system, first, the advertisement administrator plans the holding of an event. In this plan, the theme of the event, the region where the event is held, the time when the event is held, the benefits provided to the users of the mobile terminal 10 by the event, the rules for providing the benefits, etc. are determined.

[0044] (2) Next, the advertisement administrator solicits advertisers who will place advertisements as event advertisements. Multiple advertisers A to E whose advertisement content matches the theme of the event can participate in the event simultaneously. Examples of the theme of the event include food, fashion, real estate, theater, etc. There are no particular restrictions on the solicitation of advertisers, and it may be carried out through the Internet.

[0045] Also, when an information code is registered in the advertisement management server 1 as an advertisement installed at a predetermined location and there is a registered advertisement that is managed by the advertisement management server 1 independently of the event, the advertisement administrator may persuade the advertiser to use the registered advertisement as an event advertisement. By organizing an event for the registered advertisement, the customer attraction power of the registered advertisement can be enhanced.

[0046] (3) The advertisement administrator installs the event advertisement 2 at a plurality of predetermined locations and registers the above-mentioned matters stored in the advertisement management server 1 in the advertisement management server 1. There are no particular restrictions on the installation location of the event advertisement, but it is preferable to set it within the store or facility of the advertiser because the event advertisement can directly attract customers to the store or facility.

[0047] (4) The advertisement administrator announces the holding of the event. In the announcement of the holding of the event, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, event advertisements 2 having a specific event target display 3 are installed at multiple locations in the event holding region. The users of the mobile terminal 10 search for the event advertisements 2 during the event holding period, read the information code 4 included in the event advertisements 2 into the mobile terminal 10, and when the mobile terminal 10 accesses according to the screen guided by the reading, it is widely announced generally that benefits can be obtained based on the number of accesses.

[0048] In the notice of holding an event, a map of the holding area indicating the installation location of the event advertisement and hints for finding the event advertisement may be attached.

[0049] As shown in FIG. 1, the notice of holding an event can be made on the street vision 11, the wall advertisement 12 using the side surface of a vending machine, the homepage of the advertisement manager on the Internet 13, etc. In the notice of holding an event, hints on how to find the event advertisement 2 installed at a predetermined location may be published.

[0050] By the notice of holding an event, the user of the mobile terminal 10 is motivated by the fun of games such as a stamp rally and the desire to obtain benefits, actively participates in the event, and searches for the event advertisement 2.

[0051] (5) Reaching the event advertisement 2 on the mobile terminal 10 The user of the mobile terminal 10 uses the event target display 3 known from the notice of holding an event as a landmark, searches for the event advertisement 2 based on the map obtained from the notice of holding an event, and reaches the event advertisement 2.

[0052] (6) Reading the information code 4 by the mobile terminal 10 When the event advertisement 2 has the information code 4 as a two-dimensional code, the user who has reached the event advertisement 2 performs an operation of reading the two-dimensional code with the mobile terminal 10. Also, when the event advertisement 2 has the information code 4 as an RF tag and the mobile terminal has a reader / writer function, the information code 4 is read into the mobile terminal 10 when the mobile terminal 10 is held over the information code 4.

[0053] (7) Access to the advertisement management server 1 Since the information code 4 contains the URL information of the advertising management server, when the information code 4 is read into the mobile terminal 10, the mobile terminal 10 is asked whether it can access the advertising management server 1. When the user of the mobile terminal permits the access, the advertising management server 1 is accessed by the mobile terminal 10. Depending on the settings of the mobile terminal 10, even if there is no operation by the user to permit the access, when the information code 4 is read into the mobile terminal 10, the advertising management server 1 is accessed. Alternatively, when the information code 4 is read into the mobile terminal 10, if an application for automatically accessing the advertising management server 1 by the mobile terminal 10 has been previously installed in the mobile terminal 10, the advertising management server 1 is immediately accessed by the mobile terminal 10 when the information code 4 is read into the mobile terminal 10.

[0054] (8) Judgment of Validity of Access When the advertising management server 1 is accessed by the mobile terminal 10, the location code and the advertising code included in the information code 4 are obtained from the mobile terminal 10, and the validity of the access is judged. In this case, first, a judgment is made based on the location code. That is, when the location code is outside the management target in the advertising management server 1, the access is invalidated. When it is included in the management target, a judgment is made based on the advertising code. Then, when the advertising code is outside the management target, the access is invalidated. When the advertising code is included in the management target, the event holding period is referred to from the advertising code. When the access is outside the holding period range, the access is invalidated. When it is within the holding period, the access is valid, and the access date and time, the access location code, and the advertising code are stored in the advertising management server.

[0055] Note that when the invalidation of the access is due to a temporal reason such as being outside the event holding period range, the advertising management server 1 can send a display prompting the mobile terminal 10 to access again.

[0056] Also, even if access is determined to be valid based on a judgment based on the event holding period, it is possible to determine whether the access is based on the second or subsequent reading of the information code of the same event advertisement, and invalidate the second and subsequent accesses. As a result, it is possible to direct the users of mobile terminals to as many event advertisements installed in multiple locations as possible. On the other hand, when the event advertisement is of a nature that induces the same mobile terminal user to repeatedly visit the installation location of the event advertisement, and when multiple quizzes or questionnaires are published in the event advertisement and the user of the mobile terminal answers them one by one, etc., when it is planned that the advertisement management server 1 will be accessed multiple times according to the content of the event advertisement, etc., the second and subsequent accesses can be made valid.

[0057] Regarding access based on the second or subsequent reading of the information code of the same event advertisement, if the dates of access are different, it may be made valid. When the installation location of the event advertisement is within the advertiser's store or facility, repeatedly visiting by the mobile terminal user on different dates itself becomes an achievement of the event. Therefore, it is preferable to make the access valid so that the user can obtain benefits.

[0058] Also, regarding access based on the second or subsequent reading of the information code of the same event advertisement, the access itself may be made valid, but regarding access based on the reading of the information code of a different event advertisement, the quantity or quality of the benefits that the mobile terminal user can enjoy may be reduced.

[0059] (9) Registration of valid access Access determined to be valid in the validity / invalidity judgment is associated with a location code for each mobile terminal and registered in the advertisement management server as an object for which benefits are to be granted.

[0060] (10) Transition to the advertiser's homepage When the access of the mobile terminal 10 to the advertisement management server 1 is valid, the advertisement management server 1 may transition the screen of the mobile terminal 10 to the advertiser's homepage. As a result, the advertiser can further introduce its own products and services to the users of the mobile terminal 10 by taking the event advertisement 2 as an opportunity. Also, it becomes possible to respond to orders from users on the advertiser's homepage that has been transitioned to.

[0061] (11) Determination of Privilege For an access registered as a valid access, the advertisement management server 1 determines a privilege based on the privilege-granting rules stored in the advertisement management server.

[0062] (12) Transmission of Privilege Information to Mobile Terminal The information on the determined privilege is transmitted from the advertisement management server 1 to the mobile terminal 10.

[0063] (13) Use of Privilege The user of the mobile terminal 10 who has obtained the privilege information uses the privilege. As a specific method of using the privilege, for example, when the privilege is a discount on products or services sold at the store of the advertiser who participated in the event, the privilege information transmitted from the advertisement management server 1 is presented at the store of the advertiser who participated in the event, and products or services are purchased at the discounted price.

[0064] (14) Transmission of Privilege Usage Status The store where the privilege has been used transmits the information on the mobile terminal related to the use of the privilege and the privilege usage status to the advertisement management server.

[0065] (15) Exclusion of Access Related to Used Privilege from Privilege Grant Target The advertisement management server 1 excludes the access related to the used privilege from the targets for subsequent privilege grants. As a method of this exclusion, for example, it deletes from the accesses registered as privilege grant targets.

[0066] (16) Notification of Current Status to Mobile Terminal The advertisement management server 1 preferably notifies the mobile terminal of the event advertisements that are currently eligible for benefits due to access, the event advertisements that may be eligible for benefits due to future access, and the event advertisements related to the acquired benefits in response to a request from the mobile terminal 10. This notification can be, for example, a map attached to a notice of the event held, with the access achievement status of the user filled in. As a result, the user of the mobile terminal 10 can check the achievements in the event at any time and will actively participate in the event.

[0067] (17) Aggregation of access The advertisement management server 1 preferably aggregates the number of accesses to the advertisement management server 1 during the event period for each location code of the event advertisement 2 and outputs the aggregation result. Since the advertisement administrator can report this output result to the advertiser and bill for the advertisement fee, the advertiser can be convinced and pay the advertisement fee.

[0068] (18) Transmission of the aggregation result The aggregation result of the access is preferably made available for transmission to the advertiser at any time upon the request of the advertiser. As a result, the advertiser can change the event advertisement 2 and the surrounding situation and attempt to improve the advertisement results.
