[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2024-065649 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the advertising industry, due to the nature of advertising space being physically fixed, the posting period is determined by contract. The posting date is then the sales date. However, actual sales are premised on confirmation that the advertising content has been posted on the media. In the past, among products (services) with fixed-term advertising contracts, it was not possible to distinguish between products that required posting confirmation and those that did not, and there was a possibility that sales would be mistakenly recorded for cases where posting confirmation had not been made. Furthermore, it is the media representative in the field, not the sales representative, who registers the posting confirmation decision. Although sales are supposed to be recorded upon notification of posting confirmation, in reality, this was a breeding ground for mis-recording of sales due to human communication.

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a publication confirmation registration device, a publication confirmation registration method, and a publication confirmation registration program that can check and control whether or not to confirm publication for each product in an advertising publication contract. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems and achieve the object, the publication confirmation registration device of the present invention is characterized by comprising a selection unit that allows an operator to select whether or not to confirm the publication of an advertisement, a reception unit that, if the publication of an advertisement is confirmed, receives input from the operator of the date on which the publication of the advertisement was actually confirmed as the publication confirmation date, and a setting unit that sets the publication confirmation date as the publication start date.

[0007] In addition, in the publication confirmation registration device of the present invention, when the publication of an advertisement is confirmed, the reception unit may receive input from the operator of a date that will be the publication end date in accordance with the contract contents, and the setting unit may set the input date as the publication end date.

[0008] In addition, in the publication confirmation registration device according to the present invention, if the publication of the advertisement is not confirmed, the setting unit may automatically set the planned publication start date as the publication confirmation date and the publication start date, and set the planned publication end date as the publication end date.

[0009] Furthermore, in the publication confirmation registration device according to the present invention, the contract sales detail information created by contract input from the operator may be provided with a publication confirmation category field indicating whether or not the publication of the advertisement has been confirmed, and when a value indicating that publication has been confirmed is entered in the publication confirmation category field, the publication confirmation date and publication start date fields in the contract sales detail information may be left blank until the date on which the publication of the advertisement was actually confirmed is entered.

[0010] In addition, in the publication confirmation registration device of the present invention, if a value indicating that publication has been confirmed is entered in the publication confirmation category field, the publication end date field in the contract sales detail information may be left blank until the publication end date is entered.

[0011] In addition, in the publication confirmation registration device of the present invention, if a value indicating no publication confirmation is entered in the publication confirmation category field, the publication confirmation date and publication start date in the contract sales detail information may be stored as the same date as the scheduled publication start date, and the publication end date may be stored as the same date as the scheduled publication end date.

[0012] Furthermore, in the posting confirmation registration device according to the present invention, the posting confirmation registration screen may be provided with a check box indicating whether or not the posting has been completed as planned, and columns for the posting confirmation date, the start date and end date of the planned posting period, and the start date and end date of the confirmed posting period, and the planned posting start date and planned posting end date may be set as initial values ​​in the columns for the start date and end date of the planned posting period, and the reception unit may receive an operation from an operator to check the check box on the posting confirmation registration screen, and when the check box is checked, the setting unit may automatically set the columns for the posting confirmation date and the start date of the confirmed posting period to the same date as the planned posting start date, and automatically set the column for the end date of the confirmed posting period to the same date as the planned posting end date, and lock the columns for the posting confirmation date, the start date and end date of the planned posting period, and the start date and end date of the confirmed posting period.

[0013] Furthermore, in the publication confirmation registration device according to the present invention, the reception unit may receive an operation from an operator to uncheck the check box on the publication confirmation registration screen, and the setting unit may, when the check box is unchecked, make the fields for the publication confirmation date and the end date of the publication confirmation period inputtable on the publication confirmation registration screen, and when a date is inputted into the field for the publication confirmation date, set the same date in the field for the start date of the publication confirmation period.

[0014] Furthermore, the publication confirmation registration method according to the present invention is characterized by including a selection step in which a selection unit prompts an operator to select whether or not to confirm the publication of an advertisement; a reception step in which, if the publication of an advertisement is confirmed, a reception step in which a reception unit receives input from the operator of the date on which the publication of the advertisement was actually confirmed as a publication confirmation date; and a setting step in which a setting unit sets the publication confirmation date as a publication start date.

[0015] In addition, the publication confirmation registration program of the present invention causes the information processing device to function as a selection means for allowing an operator to select whether or not to confirm the publication of an advertisement, a reception means for receiving input from the operator of the date on which the publication of the advertisement was actually confirmed as the publication confirmation date if the publication of the advertisement is confirmed, and a setting means for setting the publication confirmation date as the publication start date. [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] The present invention has the effect of correctly ensuring the relationship between the posting period and sales, thereby promoting efficiency, by adding a check control to the advertising contract to determine whether or not to confirm posting for each product.

The publication confirmation date is set to a date such as "2024 / 7 / 1" to indicate the date on which the advertisement was actually confirmed to be published. If the publication confirmation category is "Yes", the publication start date (confirmed), publication end date (confirmed), and publication confirmation date fields will be left blank until the advertisement is actually confirmed to be published.Conversely, if the posting confirmation category is "none," the planned date will be the confirmed date and the confirmed date. In other words, if the posting confirmation category is "none," the posting start date (planned), posting start date (confirmed), and posting confirmation date will be the same date, and the posting end date (planned) and posting end date (confirmed) will be the same date.

[0032] The placement confirmation registration screen 106c stores information related to placement confirmation registration. FIG. 3 shows an example of information input to the placement confirmation registration screen 106c. The placement confirmation registration screen 106c accepts input of information such as the contract number, contractor, client, counterpart order number, product, sales amount, confirmed as scheduled, placement confirmation date, planned placement period, and confirmed placement period. A number such as "PJ0001-1" is input as the contract number as identification information (contract number) indicating the contract for advertising placement. A number such as "T0001" is input as identification information (contract number) indicating the contractor and a name such as "△△ Co., Ltd." is input as information indicating the contractor's name for the contractor and client. An identification information (order number) for the contractor to identify the order for the contract is input as the counterpart order number. A number such as "10001" is input as identification information (product number) indicating the product, and a name such as "Digital Signage A" is input as information indicating the product's name. The sales amount is entered as "1,200,000" indicating the base amount of the advertisement, "120,000" indicating the amount of consumption tax on the base amount, or "1,320,000" indicating the total amount of the base amount of the advertisement and the amount of consumption tax.

[0033] In addition, the information entered during contract entry is automatically set for the contract number, contractor, client, counterparty order number, product, and sales amount on the publication confirmation registration screen 106c, eliminating the need for operator input. In practice, values ​​stored in each data table may be automatically set as initial values. For example, the contract number may be entered as "PJ0001-1," which combines the contract number "PJ0001" and the detail number "1" from the contract sales detail information 106b2. Furthermore, the contractor CD "T0001" and contractor name "△△ Co., Ltd." from the contract basic information 106b1 may be entered as the contractor and client. Furthermore, the product CD "10001" and product name "Digital Signage A" from the product master 106a1 may be entered as the product. Furthermore, the sales amount may be input as the base amount "1,200,000", the consumption tax amount "120,000", and the tax-inclusive amount "1,320,000" from the contract sales detail information 106b2.

[0034] Furthermore, a checkbox is displayed in the "Confirm as scheduled" field on the placement confirmation registration screen 106c. A check in this checkbox indicates that the advertisement placement was confirmed on the scheduled date. Conversely, an unchecked checkbox indicates that the advertisement placement was not confirmed on the scheduled date. A date such as "2024 / 7 / 1" is entered in the placement confirmation date field as information indicating the date on which the advertisement placement was confirmed. A date such as "2024 / 7 / 1" is entered in the planned placement period field as information indicating the period during which the advertisement is scheduled to be placed. For example, the planned placement period is set to the placement start date (planned) "2024 / 7 / 1" and placement end date (planned) "2024 / 12 / 31" stored in the contract sales detail information 106b2 as initial values. No initial value is entered in the confirmed placement period field. In other words, the confirmed placement period field is blank in the initial state.

[0035] The sales processing screen 106d stores information related to sales processing. FIG. 3 shows an example of information entered on the sales processing screen 106d. The sales processing screen 106d accepts input of information such as creation category, accounting month, contract number, project, billing destination, business establishment, department, and optional designation. The creation category displays two check boxes: create and delete. If the create check box is checked, sales data (not shown) is created. If the delete check box is checked, sales data (not shown) is deleted. If both check boxes are checked, deletion is not performed and creation takes priority. In practice, radio buttons may be displayed instead of check boxes. The accounting month is set with information indicating the fiscal year and month in which sales were recorded. The contract number is set with identification information (contract number) indicating the contract for advertising in the accounting month. The project is set with identification information (project number) indicating the project for advertising in the accounting month. The billing destination is set with identification information (billing number) indicating the party to bill for the amount related to sales in the accounting month. In practice, the billing destination may be set to the contractor or client entered on the publication confirmation registration screen 106c. Here, the contract number, project, and billing destination are each consecutively numbered, and are displayed as a range consisting of the first and last numbers in the accounting month. Information indicating the business establishment of the billing destination is set to the establishment. In practice, information regarding the business establishment (contractor) stored in the business establishment master 106a2 may be set to the establishment. Information indicating the department is set to the division. In practice, information regarding the department stored in the department master 106a3 may be set to the division. Here, the departments are consecutively numbered, and are displayed as a range consisting of the first and last numbers in the accounting month. For optional designation, a value arbitrarily selected from the options is set.

[0036] Here, the creation category and accounting month are required fields. On the sales processing screen 106d, you can also specify conditions by contract number or billing destination to proceed with sales processing. If the publication confirmation date corresponding to the month specified in the accounting month on the sales processing screen 106d (for example, 7 / 1 to 7 / 31 for July) is not registered in the contract sales detail information 106b2, the item will not be subject to sales processing.

[0037] Returning to Fig. 1, the control unit 102 is a CPU or the like that performs overall control of the publication confirmation registration device 100. The control unit 102 has an internal memory for storing control programs such as an OS, programs that define various processing procedures, required data, etc., and executes various information processing operations based on these stored programs.

[0038] The control unit 102 conceptually includes a master setting unit 102a, a contract input unit 102b, a publication confirmation registration unit 102c (including a selection unit, a reception unit, and a setting unit of the present invention), and a sales processing unit 102d.

[0039] The master setting unit 102a sets the related master 106a. In this embodiment, the master setting unit 102a creates data tables and sets values ​​in each of the product master 106a1, supplier master 106a2, and department master 106a3. The master setting unit 102a also updates and resets the product master 106a1, supplier master 106a2, and department master 106a3.

[0040] The contract input unit 102b sets the contract input data 106b by referring to the related master 106a. In this embodiment, the contract input unit 102b creates data tables for the contract basic information 106b1 and the contract sales detail information 106b2 and sets values ​​in the tables. The contract input unit 102b updates and resets the contract basic information 106b1 and the contract sales detail information 106b2.

[0041] The posting confirmation registration unit 102c sets the input information on the posting confirmation registration screen 106c with reference to the contract input data 106b. For example, the posting confirmation registration unit 102c automatically sets the contents of the contract basic information 106b1 and the contract sales detail information 106b2 entered during contract input in the contract number, contract party, client, counterparty order number No., product, and sales amount on the posting confirmation registration screen 106c. In addition, the posting confirmation registration unit 102c sets the posting start date (planned) and posting end date (planned) held in the contract sales detail information 106b2 as initial values ​​in the planned posting period on the posting confirmation registration screen 106c.

[0042] The sales processing section 102d receives the results of the listing confirmation registration and sets the necessary items on the sales processing screen 106d. Then, the sales processing section 102d creates sales data (not shown) for each accounting month. Alternatively, the sales processing section 102d deletes the sales data (not shown) for the specified accounting month.

[0043] [2. Specific examples of processing] Hereinafter, the placement confirmation and registration process according to the present invention will be described using a specific example with reference to Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of the placement confirmation and registration process.

[0044] The master setting unit 102a sets the related master 106a (step S101). The related master 106a includes a product master 106a1, a supplier master 106a2, and a department master 106a3. That is, the master setting unit 102a sets the product master 106a1, the supplier master 106a2, and the department master 106a3. For example, the master setting unit 102a registers the product (service) at the time of contract registration in the product master 106a1. The master setting unit 102a also registers the supplier in the supplier master 106a2. The master setting unit 102a also registers the department in the department master 106a3.

[0045] The contract input unit 102b sets contract input data 106b with reference to the related master 106a (step S102). The contract input data 106b includes contract basic information 106b1 and contract sales detail information 106b2. That is, the contract input unit 102b sets the contract basic information 106b1 and the contract sales detail information 106b2. For example, the contract input unit 102b registers contract information in the contract basic information 106b1 by referring to the contract input from the operator and the related master 106a. Furthermore, the contract input unit 102b registers information on sales details related to the contract in the contract sales detail information 106b2 by referring to the contract input from the operator and the related master 106a.

[0046] The posting confirmation registration unit 102c sets input information on the posting confirmation registration screen 106c with reference to the contract input data 106b (step S103). For example, the posting confirmation registration unit 102c sets initial values ​​and input values ​​in each item on the posting confirmation registration screen 106c by referring to the contract input data 106b and by confirmation registration from the operator.

[0047] For example, the posting confirmation registration unit 102c automatically sets the contents of the contract basic information 106b1 and the contract sales detail information 106b2 entered during contract input in the contract number, contract party, client, counterpart order number No., product, and sales amount on the posting confirmation registration screen 106c. Also, the posting confirmation registration unit 102c sets the posting start date (planned) and posting end date (planned) held in the contract sales detail information 106b2 as initial values ​​in the planned posting period on the posting confirmation registration screen 106c.

[0048] A case where publication has been confirmed as scheduled will be described with reference to Figure 5. Figure 5 is a diagram showing an example of a case where publication has been confirmed as scheduled. When publication has been confirmed as scheduled, by checking the "confirmed as scheduled" checkbox, the publication start date (scheduled) in contract sales detail information 106b2 is determined (confirmed) as the publication start date (confirmed) and publication confirmation date.

[0049] When the operator checks the checkbox for "confirm as scheduled," the posting confirmation registration unit 102c automatically sets dates for all items related to confirmation as scheduled (posting confirmation date, planned posting period, confirmed posting period) and locks each item. At this time, the start date and end date of the confirmed posting period will be the same as the start date and end date of the planned posting period. In addition, the confirmed posting date will be the same as the start date of the planned posting period. The planned posting start date and planned posting end date stored in the contract sales detail information 106b2 are set as initial values ​​for the planned posting period. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, if the operator confirms posting on "7 / 1 / 2024" as scheduled, the posting confirmation date will be "7 / 1 / 2024" and the planned posting period will be "7 / 1 / 2024" to "12 / 31 / 2024," so the confirmed posting period will be "7 / 1 / 2024" to "12 / 31 / 2024." Then, the posting confirmation registration unit 102c sets the posting start date (confirmed) of the contract sales detail information 106b2 to "2024 / 7 / 1", the posting end date (confirmed) to "2024 / 12 / 31", and the posting confirmation date to "2024 / 7 / 1". Note that in practice, the contract input unit 102b may perform the above settings of the contract sales detail information 106b2 instead of the posting confirmation registration unit 102c.

[0050] A case where publication confirmation is possible on a different day than scheduled will be described with reference to Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a case where publication confirmation is possible on a different day than scheduled. If publication confirmation is possible on a different day than scheduled, by unchecking the checkbox for confirmation as scheduled, it becomes possible to input the publication confirmation date and publication confirmation period (end).

[0051] When the operator unchecks the checkbox for confirmation as scheduled, the publication confirmation registration unit 102c enables input of the publication confirmation date and publication confirmation period (end) among the items related to confirmation as scheduled. In this case, the start date of the publication confirmation period will be the same date as the publication confirmation date input on the publication confirmation registration screen 106c. Furthermore, since whether the publication confirmation period (end) is changed due to a delay in publication confirmation differs depending on the contract, it can be modified as necessary. The publication start date (planned) and publication end date (planned) stored in the contract sales detail information 106b2 are set as initial values ​​for the planned publication period. The planned publication period may be locked as it will not be changed. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, if the operator deviates from the schedule and is able to confirm publication on "2024 / 7 / 2," the planned publication period is "2024 / 7 / 1" to "2024 / 12 / 31," but the publication confirmation date is "2024 / 7 / 2," the publication confirmation period (start) is "2024 / 7 / 2," and the operator enters "2025 / 1 / 1" as the publication confirmation period (end). Then, the publication confirmation registration unit 102c sets "2024 / 7 / 2" as the publication start date (confirmed), "2025 / 1 / 1" as the publication end date (confirmed), and "2024 / 7 / 2" as the publication confirmation date in the contract sales detail information 106b2. Note that in practice, the contract input unit 102b may perform the above settings in the contract sales detail information 106b2 instead of the publication confirmation registration unit 102c.

[0052] Here, the placement confirmation registration unit 102c may check the "Confirm as scheduled" checkbox from the beginning if the placement confirmation category of the contract sales detail information 106b2 corresponding to the contract number on the placement confirmation registration screen 106c is "None," and may uncheck the "Confirm as scheduled" checkbox if the placement confirmation category is "Yes." That is, if the placement confirmation category is "None," an initial value may be automatically set, and if the placement confirmation category is "Yes," the operator may confirm the placement of the advertisement and then enter a date as the placement confirmation date. At this time, the checkbox may be changed as desired on the placement confirmation registration screen 106c. Also, a period during which the checkbox can be changed (changeable period) may be set.

[0053] Upon receiving the result of the above publication confirmation registration, the sales processing unit 102d sets the necessary items on the sales processing screen 106d and creates sales data (not shown) for each accounting month (step S104).

[0054] The settings of the sales processing screen 106d will be described with reference to Fig. 7. Fig. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the settings of the sales processing screen 106d.

[0055] 7, the sales processing unit 102d aggregates the data of the contract sales detail information 106b2 for the accounting month entered on the sales processing screen 106d, and sets values ​​for each item on the sales processing screen 106d based on the aggregation results. Note that if the accounting month is "2024 / 07", the data table of the contract sales detail information 106b2 with publication confirmation dates in the range of "2024 / 7 / 1" to "2024 / 7 / 31" will be aggregated.

[0056] In this way, in this embodiment, by adding a check control to the advertising contract as to whether or not to confirm the publication for each product, the relationship between the publication period and sales can be properly ensured, and efficiency is promoted. Also, the function of only those details for which the media manager has confirmed the publication will lead to the recording of sales is considered to be an essential function in the advertising business.

[0057] For contracts that require publication confirmation, publication confirmation registration is mandatory. Sales data will only be created for contracts for which a publication confirmation date has been registered during publication confirmation registration. If the publication period differs from the plan at the time of publication confirmation registration, the confirmed publication period can be entered.
