[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an electronic flyer. [Background technology]

[0002] Even today, when the Internet is widespread, inserts are still used in newspaper distribution, where flyers are inserted into newspapers, and in posting, where flyers are dropped directly into household mailboxes. Inserts are used as advertising media in supermarkets, drugstores, etc., and are printed on paper media. Inserts are printed materials containing product advertisements and promotions, and contain information on daily special sales and events, which have the effect of encouraging customers to purchase. Inserts are laid out for each product, with the product name, price, product image, etc., and the layout is usually decided and printed on the assumption that it will be printed on paper media.

[0003] On the other hand, a service that digitizes insert flyers and distributes them as electronic flyers over a network has been put to practical use. For example, Patent Document 1 describes an electronic flyer system in which the distributed electronic flyer is displayed on the display screen of a terminal device that receives the flyer, allowing the user to view it.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2013-109771 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, even if large flyers such as inserts are simply digitized and displayed in the same list format as printed media so that the entire page can be viewed on the small screens of mobile phones (including smartphones), tablets, personal computers, etc., there is a problem in that it is not easy to clearly enlarge the product area you want to see and read the fine details.

[0006] Therefore, in consideration of the above problems, the present invention aims to provide an electronic flyer that allows users to easily view product information of products listed in the electronic flyer. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] An electronic flyer according to one aspect of the present invention is an electronic flyer displayed on a terminal, wherein product information for a plurality of products is displayed as a card image, and the plurality of card images are aligned in a predetermined size and in a predetermined number to fit the terminal screen, and the size of the plurality of card images and the number of card images aligned and displayed to fit the screen are changed in response to a predetermined operation by a user on the terminal screen or a predetermined operation on a pointing device provided on or connected to the terminal.

[0008] According to this configuration, by displaying the electronic flyer on a device such as a smartphone, tablet, or personal computer, it is possible to deliver the same product information as a newspaper insert to people who do not subscribe to newspapers and are not interested in paper media, without incurring printing and distribution costs.

[0009] In addition, the card image showing the product information of the product is resized to fit the device screen. Since a predetermined number of cards are aligned and displayed, the visibility of the card images displaying product information of the products is improved.

[0010] Furthermore, by simply performing a specific operation on the screen of the user's terminal or a specific operation on a pointing device provided on or connected to the terminal, such as a simple operation such as a tap operation, the size of the multiple card images and the number of card images aligned and displayed on the screen can be changed, making it possible to appropriately and effectively display product information displayed on the card images to the user, further increasing the user's purchasing desire.

[0011] In addition, this electronic flyer is characterized in that the amount of product information changes according to the size of the card image. With this configuration, the amount of product information changes according to the size of the card image, so that when the card image size is large, the amount of product information is large, and when the card image size is small, the amount of product information is small, making it easier for users to visually recognize the product information.

[0012] In addition, this electronic flyer is characterized in that the size and number of displayed card images are smoothly changed by a predetermined operation on the screen or pointing device of the user's terminal without a loading screen or blackout screen. With this configuration, the size and number of displayed card images are smoothly changed without a loading screen or blackout screen, which improves operability and UX and increases user satisfaction.

[0013] In addition, this electronic flyer is characterized in that the card images can be generated by dividing the original data of a flyer or electronic flyer containing multiple products provided by the administrator into separate images for each product. According to this configuration, the card images are generated by dividing the original data of a flyer or electronic flyer containing multiple products provided by the administrator into separate images for each product, making it easier for users to understand the products.

[0014] This electronic flyer is also characterized in that the product information viewed by the user can be stored or managed as data. With this configuration, the product information viewed by the user can be stored or managed as data, so the administrator can collect the data on the product information viewed by the user. Furthermore, the administrator can analyze the access log to understand what the user is interested in within the flyer and obtain marketing information, so the administrator can create an appropriate sales strategy for the product.

[0015] The electronic flyer is also characterized by comprising a means for classifying and displaying a plurality of the card images into one of a plurality of categories. According to this configuration, since the electronic flyer comprises a means for classifying and displaying the card images into one of a plurality of categories, the user can easily find a product that meets the user's needs.

[0016] In addition, this electronic flyer is characterized in that the categories can be set by the user or the administrator. According to this configuration, since the categories can be set by the user or the administrator, the user or the administrator can set the categories taking into consideration the attribute information of the products published in the electronic flyer, and more optimal category classification can be achieved.

[0017] The electronic flyer also includes a means for sharing the card image on a social networking service. With this configuration, product information can be shared with many people using a social networking service.

[0018] In addition, the electronic flyer allows the user to register the card image as a bookmark. This configuration provides a means for registering items as bookmarks, making it easier for users to access the items they have bookmarked again. It can also be used as a memorandum for items that users want to purchase.

[0019] This electronic flyer is also characterized by having a means for changing the background of the screen. With this configuration, by changing the background to one suitable for the image, it is possible to improve image recognition of the product. In addition, by changing the background of the screen every time a predetermined operation on the screen of the user's terminal is performed, the size and number of displayed card images are changed, allowing the user to recognize this.

[0020] In addition, this electronic flyer is characterized in that the product photos displayed on the card images can be product images taken by the administrator. With this configuration, by using the product images taken by the administrator for the product photos displayed on the card images, users can check the product images of the products that are actually being sold, and users can make product purchase decisions with peace of mind.

[0021] This electronic flyer is also characterized in that the product information of the card image can be generated based on voice data uttered by the manager. With this configuration, the manager only needs to speak about the product information of the product, and the product information of the card image can be automatically generated in response to this utterance. In other words, the burden on the manager in creating the product information of the product can be reduced.

[0022] In addition, the electronic flyer is characterized in that the predetermined operation on the screen or pointing device of the user's terminal is a tap operation on the screen or pointing device of the terminal. With this configuration, the predetermined operation on the screen or pointing device of the user's terminal is a tap operation on the screen or pointing device of the terminal, which simplifies the user's operation.

[0023] Furthermore, this electronic flyer is characterized in that the terminal is a smartphone or a tablet terminal, and the predetermined operation on the screen of the terminal is a tap operation on the screen with one finger or a pen-type device, or a pinch-in or pinch-out operation on the screen with two fingers or a pen-type device. With this configuration, when the terminal is a smartphone or a tablet terminal, the predetermined operation on the terminal screen is simplified.

[0024] Furthermore, this electronic flyer is characterized in that, when the terminal is a personal computer and the predetermined operation on a pointing device provided on or connected to the terminal is a tap operation on the trackpad with one finger or a pen-type device, or a pinch-in or pinch-out operation on the trackpad with two fingers or a pen-type device, if the pointing device is a trackpad, and a click operation by placing a cursor on the card screen or a predetermined position displayed on a monitor provided on or connected to the personal computer, if the pointing device is a mouse. With this configuration, when the terminal is a personal computer, the predetermined operation on the pointing device provided on or connected to the terminal is simplified. Effect of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0027] Hereinafter, an electronic flyer according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.

[0028] (Electronic flyer configuration) 1 is a block diagram showing the overall configuration of an electronic flyer distribution system for distributing electronic flyers according to this embodiment. This electronic flyer distribution system includes an electronic flyer distribution server 10, a user terminal 20, an administrator terminal 30, and an Internet line 40 connecting these, and is configured so that electronic flyer distribution server 10, user terminal 20, and administrator terminal 30 can communicate with each other via the Internet line 40.

[0029] The electronic flyer distribution server 10 stores original data of electronic flyers and electronic flyers provided by an administrator who is an advertiser. The original data of electronic flyers is, for example, a PDF file or an image file in a predetermined format that is an electronic version of a flyer distributed as an insert in a newspaper.

[0030] In response to a request from user terminal 20, electronic flyer distribution server 10 distributes each of the stored electronic flyers to user terminal 20. In addition, in response to a request from administrator terminal 30, electronic flyer distribution server 10 distributes an electronic flyer specified by administrator terminal 30 and user usage information related to the electronic flyer.

[0031] The functional configuration of electronic flyer distribution server 10 includes a storage unit 11 that stores electronic flyer data and the like, and a transmission unit 12 that transmits the electronic data and the like to user terminal 20 and causes the electronic flyer to be displayed on user terminal 20. Each of these functions is realized by a CPU that processes programs, a ROM that stores programs and data in advance, a RAM that temporarily stores programs and data when the programs are executed, a HDD that stores programs and a large amount of data, etc. Electronic flyer distribution server 10 also includes an interface to which the CPU and HDD are connected, and a display, keyboard, mouse, etc. are connected via the interface.

[0032] The HDD may be any type capable of storing data, and may be a non-volatile SSD or the like. The interface includes those for connecting the above-mentioned display and keyboard, as well as those for connecting devices capable of communication. Specifically, it includes those for HDMI (registered trademark) connection, USB connection, LAN connection, SCSI connection, IEEE connection, etc. The CPU, ROM, RAM, HDD, interface, etc. are connected to each other via a motherboard, etc.

[0033] Furthermore, the memory unit 11 stores data related to electronic flyers operated by the electronic flyer distribution server 10. The data related to electronic flyers includes data on electronic flyers of multiple managers, data transmitted from the manager terminal 30, product information on products sold at each manager's store, and user usage information.

[0034] The product information includes the product name, price (unit price), place of origin, sales form of the product, image information, etc. In addition, the user's usage information includes the number of user views, the number of shares on social networking services, the number of bookmarks, etc.

[0035] User terminal 20 receives the electronic flyer transmitted from electronic flyer distribution server 10 and displays the received electronic flyer. User terminal 20 in this embodiment is a portable terminal in which a display and an operation unit having a network communication function are integrated, such as a smartphone or tablet terminal, but may also be a personal computer.

[0036] The administrator terminal 30 receives and displays the electronic flyers transmitted from the electronic flyer server 10 and the user's usage information related to the electronic flyers. Like the user terminal 20, the administrator terminal 30 is a portable terminal in which a display and an operation unit having a network communication function are integrated, such as a smartphone or tablet terminal, but it may also be a personal computer.

[0037] (flow) Next, the flow of the electronic flyer distribution system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 2 to FIG.

[0038] In order for a user to use this electronic flyer distribution system, the user first installs an electronic flyer application for viewing electronic flyers on user terminal 20. By operating user terminal 20 on which the electronic flyer application has been started, the user can display an electronic flyer distributed from electronic flyer distribution server 10 on the electronic flyer application and view the displayed electronic flyer.

[0039] In addition, in this embodiment, the screen of the user terminal 20 is configured as a touch panel, and an example is assumed in which operations are performed by tapping the screen of the user terminal 20 with an operating object such as a finger or a pen-type device.

[0040] When a user launches the electronic flyer application, the screen shown in Fig. 2 is displayed. This is an example of the screen that is first displayed on the screen of user terminal 20 after the electronic flyer application is launched. When the electronic flyer application is launched, the first screen of user terminal 20 displays an image of an electronic flyer in which card images of multiple products are displayed in thumbnail format.

[0041] The multiple card images are aligned and displayed in a predetermined number of rows and sizes to fit the screen of the terminal. The card images display product information, such as the product image and price, as shown in Figure 2.

[0042] In addition, the image of the electronic flyer can be enlarged or reduced by pinching in or out on the screen with two fingers or a pen-type device.

[0043] The card images are generated by dividing each product into individual products through image analysis using artificial intelligence from the original data of a flyer or electronic flyer containing multiple products provided by the administrator. Since the card images are generated by dividing each product into individual products through image analysis using artificial intelligence, the time required for dividing each product can be reduced and it can be performed with high accuracy.

[0044] Next, the user can tap on the screen to select one of the card images of multiple products listed in the electronic flyer, causing each card image to enlarge and changing the number of card images displayed on the screen (see Figure 3).

[0045] When the user taps on the device screen, the size of the card images and the number of cards displayed change smoothly without a loading screen or blackout screen, improving operability and UX, and increasing user satisfaction and convenience.

[0046] When the user taps the terminal screen again, the size of each card image is enlarged, and the number of card images displayed aligned on the screen is further reduced. In addition, in the present embodiment, when it is desired to reduce the size of the card images and increase the number of displayed card images, for example, a pinch out operation is performed on the liquid crystal screen.

[0047] In this embodiment, the amount of product information increases as the size of the card image increases. When the screen of Fig. 2 is switched to the screen of Fig. 3, the product information displayed on the card image includes the product name, product image, and price, as shown in Fig. 3.

[0048] In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 3, a plurality of card images are displayed classified into one of a plurality of categories, such as "fruit and vegetables," "meat," "fresh fish," and "luxury goods / drinks." This makes it easy to view and grasp a plurality of pieces of product information associated with each product.

[0049] In addition, categories can be set by users or administrators. This allows users or administrators to set categories taking into account attribute information of products published in electronic flyers, enabling more optimal category classification.

[0050] Then, when the user taps the terminal screen again from the display screen of Fig. 3, the size of each card image is further enlarged, and the number of card images aligned and displayed on the screen is further decreased. Note that, in the present embodiment, when it is desired to reduce the size of the card images and increase the number of displayed card images, for example, a pinch out operation is performed on the liquid crystal screen.

[0051] In this case, when the user taps the screen of the device, the size of the card images and the number of cards displayed change smoothly without a loading screen or blackout screen. This improves operability and UX, and increases user satisfaction and convenience.

[0052] In this embodiment, the amount of product information increases as the size of the card image increases. When the screen of Fig. 3 is switched to the screen of Fig. 4, the product information displayed on the card image includes the product image, price, product name, and origin information as shown in Fig. 4.

[0053] Then, when the user further taps on the card image of the desired product on the display screen of Fig. 4, the size of the card image is further enlarged, and only one card image is displayed on the screen (see Fig. 5). Note that, in the present embodiment, when it is desired to reduce the size of the card image and increase the number of displayed card images, for example, a pinch out operation is performed on the liquid crystal screen.

[0054] In this case, when the user taps the screen of the device, the size of the card images and the number of displayed images change smoothly without a loading screen or blackout screen. This improves operability and UX, and increases user satisfaction.

[0055] Specifically, in response to a tap operation on the screen of the user's device, the specified card image is enlarged and displayed using a large area, for example, filling the entire screen. Also, as the size of the card image is enlarged, the amount of product information increases further. The product information displayed on this card image includes the product image, price, product name, place of origin, as well as the sales method of the product, as shown in Figure 5, and all of the product information of the product listed in the original data of the flyer or electronic flyer provided by the administrator is displayed.

[0056] In this way, the size of multiple card images can be enlarged and the number of card images aligned and displayed on the screen can be reduced in response to a tap operation or the like performed by the user on the screen of the terminal, or vice versa. Also, the displayed product information can change depending on the size of the card image.

[0057] Also, the product information viewed by the user can be stored or managed as data. This allows the user to specify which products in the electronic flyer were viewed in detail and collect data on the viewed products. Furthermore, the administrator can analyze the access log to understand what the user is interested in in the flyer and obtain marketing information, allowing the administrator to create an appropriate sales strategy for the product.

[0058] The data of the product information viewed by the user is stored in the storage unit 11 of the electronic flyer distribution server 10. The administrator can check the results of the viewed product information on his / her own administrator terminal 30.

[0059] The card image may be shared via a social networking service, allowing product information to be shared with many people via the social networking service.

[0060] The card image may also be provided with a means for the user to register the card image as a bookmark. This allows the user to easily access the bookmarked product again. The card image can also be used as a memorandum for products that the user wants to purchase.

[0061] When a user shares an item on a social networking service or registers it as a bookmark, the information is stored in storage unit 11 of electronic flyer distribution server 10. This allows the administrator to use his / her administrator terminal 30 to check the number of shares on the social networking service, the number of bookmarks registered, and the like.

[0062] The device may also include a means for changing the background of the screen. This allows the background to be changed to one suitable for the image, thereby improving image recognition of the product. Furthermore, by changing the background of the screen, the user can be made aware that the size and number of displayed card images have changed due to a predetermined operation on the screen or pointing device of the user's terminal.

[0063] The background may be made suitable for an electronic flyer image (for example, the background image may use the advertiser's corporate logo and the background color may be the advertiser's corporate color), the background may be changed each time the size and number of card images displayed change (for example, the background color may be changed from red or yellow to green, or the background pattern may be changed), or the background image may be changed to one related to the product ultimately selected by the user (for example, if the product is bananas, then the background image may show a jungle image).

[0064] (Modification) Next, a modified example of this embodiment will be described. The difference from the above electronic flyer is that the card image is not generated for each product from the original data of a flyer or electronic flyer containing multiple products provided by the administrator, but the product photos displayed on the card image are product images photographed by the administrator, and the product information is generated based on the voice data of the administrator's speech. The following will focus on the differences, and will omit a description of the parts that are the same as the electronic flyers described above.

[0065] The product photos displayed on the card images are taken by the administrator. This allows the administrator to take photos of the products that are actually for sale and display them on the card images, allowing users to check the product images of the products that are actually for sale, and allows users to make purchase decisions with peace of mind.

[0066] The administrator takes a photograph using, for example, a camera mounted on a smartphone or tablet terminal that is capable of communication. The administrator transmits the photographed product image data to the electronic flyer distribution server 10, which displays the product photo on the card image.

[0067] The product information of the card image is generated based on the voice data of the manager's speech. This allows the manager to simply speak about the product information of the product, and the product information of the card image can be automatically generated in response to this speech. In other words, the burden on the manager in creating the product information of the product can be reduced.

[0068] When the administrator speaks into a terminal device capable of voice input, such as a smartphone or tablet terminal, the spoken voice data is transmitted to electronic flyer distribution server 10 via the terminal device capable of voice input. The voice data received by electronic flyer distribution server 10 is subjected to voice recognition processing to identify the content of the utterance. A character string indicating the identified content of the utterance is displayed on the card image as product information for the product.

[0069] As described above, the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described with reference to the drawings, but various additions, modifications, and deletions are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment, a smartphone or a tablet terminal is used as the user's terminal, but a personal computer may also be used.

[0070] In addition, in the above-described embodiment, an example was described in which the specified operation to change the size, etc. of the card image is a tap operation with one finger or a pen-type device on the screen of the smartphone or tablet terminal when the user terminal 20 is a smartphone or tablet terminal, but it may also be a pinch-in or pinch-out operation on the screen with two fingers or a pen-type device.

[0071] Furthermore, when the user terminal 20 is a personal computer, the operation may be a tapping operation using one finger or a pen-type device on a trackpad provided on or connected to the terminal, or a pinching in or out operation using two fingers or a pen-type device, or a clicking operation using a mouse provided on or connected to the terminal by positioning a cursor on a card screen or a specified position displayed on a monitor provided on or connected to the personal computer.

[0072] In addition, in the above embodiment, a case was described in which the card image changes size in three stages: from the initially displayed card image, to a card image enlarged by one size step, to a card image enlarged by two sizes step, to the largest card image. However, the size of the card image may change in stages other than three stages as long as the size is changed from the initially displayed card image to the largest card image.

[0073] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, one electronic flyer is displayed on one application, but multiple electronic flyers may be displayed on one application, making it possible to compare the product information for each.

[0074] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the card image is generated from flyer data, but the card image may be generated from data of printed matter such as product catalogs, pamphlets, magazines, newspapers, and the like. [Explanation of symbols]
