[0009] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments and examples for implementing different features of the presented subject matter. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are disclosed below. Of course, these are merely examples and are not intended to be limiting. For example, a structure in which a first feature is covered by or in contact with a subsequently disclosed second feature may include embodiments in which the first and second features are formed in direct contact, as well as embodiments in which an additional feature is formed between the first and second features to prevent direct contact between the first and second features. Furthermore, the disclosure may repeat reference numbers and / or letters in various examples. Such repetition is for the purposes of brevity and clarity and does not, in itself, require a relationship between the various embodiments and / or configurations described. Furthermore, when a first element is described as being "connected" or "coupled" or "adjacent" to a second element, such description includes embodiments in which the first and second elements are directly connected or coupled to each other, as well as embodiments in which the first and second elements are indirectly connected or coupled or adjacent to each other with one or more other intervening elements therebetween.
[0010] As used herein, the phrase "at least one of" encompasses all exemplified variations. For example, the phrase "comprises at least one of A, B, or C" is equivalent to "consisting of A, B, and C and combinations thereof," and encompasses all possible variations of A, B, C, A+B, A+C, B+C, and A+B+C.
[0011] In this disclosure, disclosures using a machine, an electronic operator, or a computer may include embodiments of a method, a recording medium, an apparatus, or a program. As used herein, the statement "A is B" can be replaced with "A includes B" unless there is a contradiction or unless otherwise stated in this specification.
[0012] The terms in this disclosure, including the terms set forth in the claims, may be interpreted in light of the descriptions and drawings set forth in the specification, and further, unless otherwise indicated inconsistently, by what one or more citizens, past, present, or future, have so called, so designated, so understood, or so performed, or may so do, unless otherwise indicated in the present disclosure.
[0013] The operating method used in at least one embodiment may take the following form: The term "computer," as known in the art, generally includes a processor; memory; at least one information storage / retrieval device, such as a hard drive, disk drive, flash drive, or memory stick, or other non-transitory computer-readable medium or non-transitory storage device; at least one input device, such as a keyboard, mouse, point-and-touch device, touchscreen, or microphone; and a display structure, such as a well-known computer screen. In addition, a computer may include one or more network connections, such as wired or wireless connections. As known in the art, such a computer or computer system may include more or less of the above, including, for example, but not limited to, tablet computers and smart devices, as well as other electronic media and devices.
[0014] As used herein, the terms "cloud" or "cloud computing" refer to a centralized and virtualized computing facility in which all computing resources are shared. Application systems and subsystems can no longer be referred to as specific machines because they are all in the "cloud."
[0015] As used herein, the term "distributed Internet service system" refers to a distributed Internet service platform that transforms Internet applications to run in various computing environments. The DIS system distributes Internet applications, including content, data, and logic, to whatever extent appropriate and along the network to any number and type of devices via a Component Distribution Server / Asset Distribution Server. Through the DIS, Internet applications can be hosted and centrally managed, with services based on each user's needs, and cached and executed locally on the user's device or nearby locations while maintaining their integrity. Web-enabled computing devices can be upgraded with DIS software to become DIS-enabled, enjoying and running distributed Internet services.
[0016] Regarding the operation method used in at least one embodiment, the following embodiment can be adopted for the conventional Internet method without using the distributed Internet.
[0017] Embodiments including those specifically disclosed in this specification can provide an automated response system that is based on artificial intelligence and is implemented in a manner that resembles a real conversation with a human, thereby enabling more natural conversations with users and quickly and conveniently handling inquiries, reservations, delivery orders, etc.
[0018] The electronic devices may be fixed terminals or mobile terminals implemented by computer systems. Examples of the electronic devices include AI speakers, smartphones, mobile phones, navigation systems, personal computers (PCs), laptop PCs, digital broadcasting terminals, personal digital assistants (PDAs), portable multimedia players (PMPs), tablets, game consoles, wearable devices, internet of things (IoT) devices, virtual reality (VR) devices, and augmented reality (AR) devices. While an AI speaker is shown as an example of an electronic device, in embodiments of the present invention, the electronic device may refer to one of a variety of physical computer systems that can communicate with other electronic devices and / or servers via a network using substantially wireless or wired communication methods.
[0019] The communication method is not limited, and may include not only communication methods using communication networks that the network can include (for example, a mobile communication network, a wired Internet, a wireless Internet, a broadcast network, a satellite network, etc.), but also short-range wireless communication between devices. For example, network 170 may include any one or more of networks such as a personal area network (PAN), a local area network (LAN), a campus area network (CAN), a metropolitan area network (MAN), a wide area network (WAN), a broadband network (BBN), and the Internet. Furthermore, network 170 may include any one or more of network topologies including, but not limited to, a bus network, a star network, a ring network, a mesh network, a star-bus network, a tree or hierarchical network, etc.
[0020] The server may be realized by one or more computer devices that communicate with multiple electronic devices via a network and provide instructions, code, files, content, services, etc. For example, the server may be a system that provides a first service to multiple electronic devices connected via a network, and the server may also be a system that provides a second service to multiple electronic devices connected via a network. As a more specific example, the server may provide, as a first service, a service intended by an application (e.g., an auto-reply service) to multiple electronic devices through an application that is a computer program installed and executed on the multiple electronic devices. As another example, the server may provide, as a second service, a service that distributes files for installing and running the above-mentioned application to multiple electronic devices.
[0021] The electronic device and the server may include a memory, a processor, a communication module, and an input / output interface. The memory may be a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium and may include a non-transitory mass storage device such as a random access memory (RAM), a read-only memory (ROM), a disk drive, a solid state drive (SSD), a flash memory, etc. Here, a non-transitory mass storage device such as a ROM, an SSD, a flash memory, or a disk drive may be included in the electronic device or the server as a non-transitory storage device separate from the memory. The memory may also store an operating system and at least one program code (e.g., code for a browser installed and executed in the electronic device, or an application installed in the electronic device to provide a specific service). Such software components may be loaded from a computer-readable recording medium separate from the memory. Such a separate computer-readable recording medium may include a computer-readable recording medium such as a floppy drive, a disk, a tape, a DVD / CD-ROM drive, or a memory card. In another embodiment, the software components may be loaded into the memory via a communication module that is not a computer-readable recording medium. For example, at least one program may be loaded into memory based on a computer program (e.g., the application described above) that is installed by a file provided over a network by a developer or a file distribution system that distributes application installation files (e.g., the server described above).
[0022] The processor may be configured to process instructions of a computer program by performing basic arithmetic, logic, and input / output operations. The instructions may be provided to the processor by a memory or a communication module. For example, the processor may be configured to execute instructions received according to program code stored in a storage device such as a memory.
[0023] The communication module may provide a function for the electronic device and the server to communicate with each other via a network, or a function for the electronic device and / or the server to communicate with other electronic devices (for example, electronic devices) or other servers (for example, servers). For example, a request generated by a processor of the electronic device in accordance with program code recorded in a storage device such as a memory may be transmitted to the server via the network under the control of the communication module. Conversely, control signals, instructions, content, files, etc. provided under the control of the server's processor may be received by the electronic device through the communication module of the electronic device via the communication module and the network. For example, the control signals, instructions, content, files, etc. from the server received via the communication module may be transmitted to the processor or memory, and the content, files, etc. may be recorded on a storage medium (the non-transitory storage device described above) that the electronic device may further include.
[0024] An input / output interface may be a means for interfacing with an input / output device. For example, input devices may include devices such as a keyboard, mouse, microphone, and camera, while output devices may include devices such as a display, speaker, and haptic feedback device. As another example, the input / output interface may be a means for interfacing with a device that integrates input and output functions, such as a touchscreen. The input / output device may be configured as a single device together with an electronic device. Furthermore, the input / output interface of a server may be a means for interfacing with an input or output device (not shown) that can be connected to or included in the server. As a more specific example, when a processor of the electronic device processes instructions of a computer program loaded into memory, a service screen or content configured using data provided by the server or electronic device may be displayed on a display through the input / output interface.
[0025] According to at least one embodiment, a user terminal includes a control unit, a RAM, a storage unit, a graphics processing unit, a communication interface, and an interface unit, each connected by an internal bus.
[0026] According to at least one embodiment, the control unit is composed of a CPU and a ROM. The control unit executes programs stored in the storage unit and controls the user terminal. The RAM is the work area of the control unit. The storage unit is a memory area for saving programs and data. The control unit reads and processes the programs and data from the RAM. The control unit processes the programs and data loaded into the RAM and outputs drawing commands to the graphics processing unit.
[0027] According to at least one embodiment, the graphics processing unit is connected to a display unit. The display unit has a display screen. When the control unit outputs a drawing command to the graphics processing unit, the graphics processing unit outputs a video signal for displaying an image on the display screen. Here, the display unit may be a touch panel equipped with a touch sensor. The touch panel of the display unit functions as an input unit.
[0028] According to at least one embodiment, the communication interface can be connected to a communication network wirelessly or via a wire, and can transmit and receive data to and from a server device via the communication network. Data received via the communication interface is loaded into RAM, and processed by the control unit. An external memory (e.g., an SD card) is connected to the interface unit.
[0029] According to at least one embodiment, the user terminal is a computing device having a display screen and an input section, but is not limited thereto. Examples of user terminals include conventional mobile phones, tablet devices, smartphones, and desktop or laptop personal computers. VR goggles may also be configured with a screen (or two display panels, one for each eye) attached to a frame (or headset) strapped or attached to the head. The user terminal also has an audio output section.
[0030] According to at least one embodiment, the user terminal is communicatively connected to the server device via a communications network, and is capable of transmitting or receiving information via the communications network.
[0031] According to at least one embodiment, the server device includes at least a control unit, a RAM, a storage unit, and a communication interface, which are connected to each other by an internal bus.
[0032] According to at least one embodiment, the control unit is composed of a CPU and a ROM, executes a program stored in the storage unit, and controls the server device. The control unit also has an internal timer for measuring time. The RAM is the work area of the control unit. The storage unit is a memory area for saving programs and data. The control unit reads the program and data from the RAM and performs program execution processing based on information received from the user terminal, etc.
[0033] This disclosure relates to a camper van. According to at least one embodiment, a camper van is a vehicle equipped with facilities for sleeping and staying overnight. According to at least one embodiment, the camper van has one or more of the following facilities: a bed, a kitchen, a toilet, a table, etc. Camper vans are broadly classified into "self-propelled" camper vans, in which the vehicle and living space are integrated, and "towed" camper vans, which are towed by a vehicle. Self-propelled camper vans include those equipped with dedicated frames and engines, and those equipped with domestic vehicles such as vans and wagons. In the United States, camper vans are called "motorhomes," those equipped with interiors similar to those of a regular bus are called "mobile homes," and those equipped with facilities similar to those of a regular home are called "house trailers."
[0034] The configuration in this disclosure is not limited to a camper van. That is, the term "camper van" in this disclosure can be replaced with any other mobile object. Examples include cars (all types of cars), sedans, coupes, convertibles, station wagons, minivans, SUVs, hatchbacks, trains, bullet trains, airplanes, ships, etc.
[0035] A method for automatically communicating with a campervan customer is disclosed, which includes receiving size selection information from the customer based on the vehicle's overall length, width, and height. The vehicle's overall length, width, and height size information is transmitted to the campervan customer's user terminal and displayed on the user terminal. For example, the information is text information such as Hiace (registered trademark), Liteace (registered trademark), super long, wide long, narrow high roof, and narrow low roof. In other words, these texts are terms that reflect the combination of the vehicle's overall length, width, and height, and these terms are transmitted as size information. For example, the interior size of a Hiace is 2,435 mm to 3,715 mm in length, 1,520 mm to 1,730 mm in width, and 1,170 mm to 1,635 mm in height. The Liteace's interior size is smaller than that of a Hiace. Among the Hiace models, specific sizes with varying length, width, and height ratios or increased or decreased lengths are referred to as super long, wide long, narrow high roof, and narrow low roof. In another embodiment, information on the interior size or vehicle size (exterior dimensions) of a vehicle size corresponding to each piece of text information is transmitted to a user. Alternatively, information on the interior size or vehicle size (exterior dimensions) of a vehicle size corresponding to each piece of text information is made available for transmission to a user. Making the information available for transmission refers to a preparatory act for automatic public transmission, such as uploading the information to a server connected to the Internet, and includes uploading the information to the seller's homepage or server. The user selects one candidate from the size information displayed on the user terminal and transmits the selected information to the campervan seller's computer. In at least one embodiment, two or more of these selections are prevented. That is, since only one interior size can be selected per campervan when designing a vehicle, it is necessary to prevent two or more of these selections. In at least one embodiment, the vehicle is one or more vehicles designated by the seller, and the seller stores one or more of the necessary information regarding the vehicle in the seller's computer.
[0036] This disclosure discloses a step of specifying the number of chairs, kitchens, and beds to be fixed to a vehicle, and transmitting to a customer two or more combination information items that fit the vehicle size corresponding to the size selection information from among the combination information items that specify the coordinates and angles of the chairs, kitchens, and beds. In camper van sales, there are countless options for the number and arrangement of chairs, kitchens, and beds to be fixed to the vehicle's interior, making it difficult for customers to make decisions regarding the contents of the camper van. After careful consideration, it was found that by transmitting to a customer two or more combination information items that fit the vehicle size corresponding to the size selection information from among the combination information items that specify the number of chairs, kitchens, and beds to be fixed to the vehicle and the coordinates and angles of the chairs, kitchens, and beds, it becomes extremely easy for customers to decide on the contents of the camper van. Verification revealed the surprising result that allowing a user to select from two or more combination information items significantly reduces the user's purchase consideration time, rather than forcing the user to consider all of the number and arrangement of chairs, kitchens, and beds to be fixed to the vehicle. Further careful consideration also revealed the surprising result that presenting users with an image of the vehicle's interior layout significantly reduces the user's purchase consideration time. This effect was greater when a 3D layout was presented than when a 2D layout was presented. For example, a seller devise a layout that arranges one or more chairs, a kitchen, and a bed in the interior of a vehicle, and creates two or more sets of combination information specifying the coordinates and angles of their placement relative to the vehicle. For example, the identified candidates may be information indicating that, from the driver's seat to the rear of the vehicle, four chairs (synonymous with seats; the same applies throughout this specification) are arranged on the right side of the vehicle, a kitchen on the left side of the vehicle, one bed at the lower height of the rear of the vehicle, and a second bed above, with the chairs, kitchen, and bed arranged at a predetermined angle relative to the direction of travel of the vehicle. In at least one embodiment, this information further includes one or more of two-dimensional or three-dimensional actual photographs or images, computer-generated images, and drawings (collectively referred to as image information). The seller creates information on the number, coordinates, angles, and required images of each piece of furniture, and stores this information in a computer.Alternatively, the computer uses AI to automatically create image information based on this information and stores that information in the computer. The seller creates multiple combination information that specifies the placement coordinates and angles of chairs, kitchens, and beds. The seller can name these candidates. For example, each combination information can be given a specific name, abbreviation, or nickname. In at least one embodiment, the seller stores information on the minimum space required to arrange each piece of furniture based on its size, number, coordinates, and angle in the seller's computer. The space size can be determined in two or three dimensions. Alternatively, the computer calculates the minimum space required for arrangement based on the numerical information on the size, number, coordinates, and angle of each piece of furniture. The seller stores specified combination information that fits within the vehicle size corresponding to the size selection information in the computer. For example, the computer references the vehicle size selected by the customer, compares the layout and size of the assembly information, or references information on the minimum space required to place the assembly information, and numerically determines whether the vehicle size encompasses the minimum space required to place the assembly information to identify one or more assembly information that will fit the vehicle. Alternatively, the seller identifies one or more assembly information that can be constructed for the vehicle size and inputs the identified corresponding assembly information into the computer. This identified information is stored in the computer. For example, if a super long is selected, the computer will be able to recognize the identified assembly information that fits the super long size. The compatible assembly information for different vehicle size information may be the same, or some or all of them may differ. The computer receives one size selection from the customer based on the vehicle's overall length, width, and height, specifies the number of chairs, kitchens, and beds to be fixed to the vehicle, and transmits two or more assembly information that fit the vehicle size corresponding to the size selection information from the assembly information that specifies the placement coordinates and angles of the chairs, kitchens, and beds. The transmission method includes transmitting the name of the assembly information.Alternatively, it includes a method of transmitting or making transmittable to a user one or more pieces of information such as two-dimensional or three-dimensional actual photographs or images (including CG images), or drawings that indicate the number of chairs, kitchens, and beds and / or their placement coordinates and / or angles within the vehicle. It also includes a method of making these images transmittable without transmitting them. In at least one embodiment, making them transmittable includes one or more of posting them on a website, sending them to a user, or sending a link to such information. To make these transmittable, the seller posts them on a website or programs a computer.
[0037] The step of receiving a set of information from a customer is now disclosed. As described above, the customer receives multiple sets of information. The customer selects one candidate from the received sets and transmits the selected information to the seller's computer.
[0038] This disclosure discloses a step of adding up numerical values corresponding to all selection information received from a customer and transmitting the resulting sum to the customer. The seller pre-sets numerical values corresponding to each piece of information and stores them in a computer. These numerical values can be set arbitrarily, even zero (the same for all selection information in this disclosure). For example, these numerical values correspond to price. For size information, a numerical value is set as the price for each. For super long, wide long, narrow high roof, and narrow low roof, an arbitrary price (or so-called option price) can be set for a specific size, or all can be set to zero. For group information, price differences can be set for Blue Moon, Zoo, Windy, etc., or they can all be the same price or all can be set to zero. These are nicknames for group information. Numerical information (including numerical information as price) corresponding to each piece of selection information is set and stored in a computer. The computer calculates the total value based on all selection information received from the customer and the numerical values associated with or corresponding to the selection information, and transmits the total value to the customer.
[0039] A step of receiving engine type selection information from a customer from candidate engine types is disclosed. The engine type may be one or more of diesel or gasoline, displacement (any arbitrary value such as 2000cc or 2800cc), electric, or other engine type. As described above, the seller's computer transmits one or more of these pieces of information to the customer. The customer selects one piece of information from the selection and transmits the selected information to the seller's computer.
[0040] The method discloses a step of receiving zero or more exterior selection information from a customer from a selection of vehicle exterior options. The exterior selection information may be one or more of the following: aluminum wheels, privacy glass for vehicle windows, LED vehicle lights, side awnings, bicycle carriers, gazelle antennas, satellite antennas, screen doors, side visors, and other exterior options. As described above, the seller's computer transmits one or more of these options to the customer. The customer selects one option from the options and transmits the selection information to the seller's computer. In at least one embodiment, these options are presented to the customer.
[0041] A step of receiving drive system selection information from a customer from candidate drive systems for the vehicle is disclosed. The drive system may be one or more of 2WD, 4WD, or other drive system. As described above, the seller's computer transmits one or more of these pieces of information to the customer. The customer selects one of the pieces of information and transmits the selected information to the seller's computer.
[0042] A step of receiving one color selection from a candidate vehicle color from a customer is disclosed. The color selection may be one or more of white, silver, black, and other colors. As described above, the seller's computer transmits one or more of these pieces of information to the customer. The customer selects one of the options and transmits the selection to the seller's computer.
[0043] This section discloses a step of receiving one color selection from a customer from among the candidate delivery methods. The delivery method may be one or more of the following: in-store delivery, delivery to the customer's home, or other delivery methods. As described above, the seller's computer transmits one or more of these pieces of information to the customer. The customer selects one of the options and transmits the selected information to the seller's computer.
[0044] A step of receiving one color selection from a candidate car grade from a customer is disclosed. The grade may be one or more of the following: body grade, stage, quality, cost difference, and other grades. As described above, the seller's computer transmits one or more of these pieces of information to the customer. The customer selects one piece of information from the selection and transmits the selected information to the seller's computer.
[0045] This disclosure discloses a step of receiving one color selection from a customer from a selection of options. The options include one or more of the following: cold weather specifications, rear fog lamps, front fog lamps, LED headlamps, aluminum wheels, easy closer, rear heater, rear cooler, passenger airbag, digital inner mirror, digital inner mirror with integrated rearview monitor, panoramic view monitor, side visors, and other options. As described above, the seller's computer transmits one or more of these options to the customer. The customer selects one option from the options and transmits the selected option to the seller's computer. In at least one embodiment, a corresponding value (including a price value) is set for one or more of the options using the method described above, and the computer stores the information. Furthermore, attribute information such as base price, option price, and miscellaneous fees may be set for one or more of the options, and the computer stores the information.
[0046] In at least one embodiment, when one or more of the above information is transmitted or displayed on the customer's terminal, a numerical value (or amount) corresponding to the information is transmitted or displayed or transmittable in association with the information.
[0047] In at least one embodiment, for one or more of the above selections, the numerical values corresponding to all the selections received from the customer are added together, and the sum is sent to the customer. The seller sets numerical values corresponding to each piece of information and stores them in the computer. These numerical values can be set arbitrarily.
[0048] The following describes an embodiment different from the above. In the step of transmitting the total value to the customer, the details of the total value are displayed as the so-called customization result. That is, by setting the attributes and categories of the selected information, the total value is categorized into the base price, base vehicle option price, camper option price, miscellaneous expenses, and other details, and the total value is presented to the customer. Furthermore, information on installment payments for the total value (for example, 120 installments with an interest rate of 2.7%) is presented. A list of the customization details and their numerical values (prices) is presented. Furthermore, the computer processes these contents into a PDF and sends or makes available for download by the customer. A link to an application that allows the customer to schedule a business meeting with the seller is sent or made available for transmission. The computer sends a form to the customer requesting one or more pieces of information, such as the customer's name, address or residence, contact information, telephone number, email address, interview method (in person, by email, by phone), and other similar information, and receives this information from the customer. Furthermore, the seller's computer sends or makes available for transmission a link to an application that allows the customer to settle the deposit by multiplying the total value by a predetermined percentage.
[0049] The following will disclose an outline of the above-described embodiment.
