Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system for transmitting various information such as a commentary on an individual exhibit to a user's wireless portable terminal via a wireless network in various exhibition facilities such as museums and art museums. The present invention relates to an exhibition guide system in an exhibition facility for presenting to a user.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in various exhibition facilities such as museums, museums, etc., various information such as commentary on individual exhibits is presented to users via a wireless network. The system is being used. Such an exhibition guide system is configured, for example, as shown in FIG. In FIG. 10, an exhibition guide system 900 connects a wireless mobile terminal 910 lent to a user, an information providing server 920 installed in an exhibition facility or the like, and interconnects the wireless mobile terminal 910 and the information providing server 920. Wireless network 9
30.

[0003] The wireless portable terminal 910 is a dedicated wireless portable terminal, which is lent to a desired user from the exhibition facility side. At the time of lending, the wireless portable terminal 910 is in a state of accessing the information providing server 920 via the wireless network 930. Here, the wireless portable terminal 910 is operated by a dedicated application, and includes an input key (not shown) for inputting exhibit identification information of an exhibit to which information is to be presented.
When the display identification information of the exhibit is input by the input key, the wireless portable terminal 910 transmits the exhibit designation information corresponding to the exhibit identification information to the wireless network 93.
0 to the information providing server 920 via the wireless network 930.
It is configured to receive information sent from the server 20 and present the information to the user.

[0004] The information providing server 920 includes a storage device (not shown) in which various information such as commentary on each exhibit is registered, and is provided from the user's wireless portable terminal 910 via the wireless network 930. When the exhibit designation information is received, various information associated with the exhibit identification information of the exhibit represented by the exhibit designation information is read from the storage device, and transmitted to the wireless portable terminal 910 via the wireless network 930. It has become.

[0005] An exhibition guide system 900 having such a configuration.
According to the above, the user first borrows the wireless portable terminal 910 from the exhibition facility side and looks around each exhibit according to the route. At that time, the user, for example, in front of a certain exhibit,
For example, a work number indicated on the exhibit as the exhibit identification information of the exhibit is input using an input key of the wireless portable terminal 910. As a result, the wireless portable terminal 910 uses the input work number as the exhibit identification information, and transmits the corresponding exhibit designation information to the information providing server 920 via the wireless network 930.

[0006] In response, the information providing server 920:
Exhibit designation information transmitted from the wireless portable terminal 910 via the wireless network 930 is received, and various information associated with the exhibit identification information of the exhibit represented by the exhibit designation information is read out from the storage device. , Via the wireless network 930 to the wireless portable terminal 910. Accordingly, the user's wireless portable terminal 910 receives various information transmitted from the information providing server 920 via the wireless network 930, and presents the various information to the user. In this way, the user can use the wireless portable terminal 91
By inputting the exhibit identification information of the exhibit by using the input key by using the “0”, various kinds of information such as a commentary on the exhibit can be obtained.

[0007]

However, in such an exhibition guide system 900, when the user wants to obtain various kinds of information on the exhibit, it is necessary to input the exhibit identification information of the exhibit each time. And the operation becomes complicated. Also, since the wireless portable terminal 910 is a dedicated wireless portable terminal, the exhibition facility needs to prepare a predetermined number of wireless portable terminals 910, and the exhibition guide system 900 is provided for the dedicated wireless portable terminal. You need to develop an application for it. For this reason,
Since the cost of the wireless portable terminal 910 itself is high and application development costs are required, the cost of the entire exhibition guide system 900 increases. Further, since the wireless portable terminal 910 is lent to the user, even if the compensation is deposited at the time of lending, the wireless portable terminal 910 may not be able to be collected after use. There's a problem.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problem. Even if a user does not input the identification information of the exhibit for each exhibit, various information on the exhibit can be obtained. It is an object of the present invention to provide an exhibition guide system in an exhibition facility that can be obtained.

[0009]

In order to achieve this object, an exhibition guide system in an exhibition facility according to claim 1 of the present invention transmits various kinds of information relating to individual exhibits by using a wireless network from a server of an exhibition guide center.

After receiving the end information from 0 and the user identification information 130, the exhibit identification information 120 and the history information 240 registered in the storage device 220 in association with the user identification information 130 and the user identification information 130. Remove. As a result, all information registered in the storage device 220 of the exhibition guide center 200 for the user 100 is deleted.

In the above-described embodiment, the server of the exhibition information center 200 is provided in the exhibition facility. However, the server is not limited to this, and may be provided in another appropriate place. It may be used. In the above-described embodiment, a wireless network operating in, for example, the 2.4 GHz band is used as the wireless network 400. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a local wireless LAN or a local PHS system may be used. Good. Furthermore, in the embodiment described above, the work information access program is configured as a Java application that runs on KVM,
The application is not limited to this, and any other type of application may be used as long as it can perform the above-described operation.

[0055]

As described above, according to the present invention, in order to obtain various kinds of information such as a commentary on an individual exhibit in an exhibition facility, the user can obtain the exhibit identification information such as the work number of the exhibit. It is not necessary to input each time, and only by approaching the exhibit, by directly receiving the exhibit identification information from the transmitting unit near the exhibit, the exhibit designation information corresponding to the exhibit identification information Can be transmitted to the exhibition information center, so that the operation can be simplified.

The general-purpose wireless portable terminal uses the general-purpose wireless portable terminal to receive and execute an exhibition guide program transmitted from the exhibition guide center. It can be used as a mobile terminal. Therefore, the cost of each wireless portable terminal can be reduced, and it is not necessary to lend the wireless portable terminal to a user who owns such a general-purpose wireless portable terminal. Risk will be reduced.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain various kinds of information on an exhibit without having to input the exhibit identification information of the exhibit for each exhibit. An exhibition guidance system in an extremely excellent exhibition facility will be provided.
