The electronic information display device of the present invention has the above configuration, and the display device 20 creates schedule information A according to editing information input by an administrator or a customer.
The schedule information A has a data format as shown in FIG. 2 and includes a reproduction order column for instructing the reproduction order of the contents a1 to a5, a barcode column for storing a barcode attached to each content, and identification of each content. It has a content field for storing codes. Since the bar code field and the content field indicate the same content information, either one of the data may be used or both may be provided for collation. Content a1 to content a5 inserted into the content column indicate attribute information such as content identification information. The contents corresponding to the contents a1 to a5 are stored in the content storage unit 11 of the server 10, and when necessary, the transmission request from the display device 20 to the server 10 is received and received and stored in the schedule storage unit 27. It is assumed that For example, FIG. 2 shows that the schedule information includes content a1 to content a5 in the playback order 1 to 5, and the barcodes assigned to the respective contents are “00000001” to “00000005”. In FIG. 2, the playback order is set, but the playback time may be set.
Such schedule information A can be created by sequentially specifying the display order of contents using the barcode reader 24 and the user interface 25. Alternatively, it can be created by displaying the content list on the display unit 23 and sequentially specifying the display order or display time of the content.
In this embodiment, the case where the schedule information A is created on the display device 20 has been described. However, the schedule information A may be created on the server 10 and transmitted to each display device 20. . In the following description, it is assumed that schedule information is created by the server 10 or the display device 20.

The display device 20 requests the server 10 to transmit necessary content based on the schedule information A created by the display device 20. When receiving a content transmission request from the display device 20, the server 10 reads the corresponding content from the content storage unit 11 and transmits the content to the display device 20 through the communication unit 11. The content may be read from the content storage unit 11, compressed, and transmitted.
The display device 20 receives content from the server 10. At the time of this reception, the communication unit 21 identifies and receives the recognition code of the display device. The display control unit 22 reads the schedule information A stored in the schedule storage unit 26 and causes the display unit 23 to sequentially display the contents corresponding to the content a1 to the content a5 according to the schedule information A. Alternatively, each content is displayed according to the playback time.
Here, the server 10 is requested to transmit content, and the content received from the server 10 is sequentially displayed on the display unit 23 according to the schedule information A. However, the content is temporarily stored in the storage unit of the display device 20 and the schedule information is stored. You may display on the display part 23 sequentially according to A.

Next, a case where schedule information is edited by a display device will be described.
The store manager or store clerk of the sales floor or the store obtains the barcode information B1 by reading the barcode 31 attached to the product 30 with the barcode reader 24 in order to display the product to be sold on the display device 20. Then, the editing method C is selected. Selection of the editing method C is performed by the user interface 25. When the user interface 25 is a touch panel or a mouse, the user interface 25 is selected by touching “new”, “delete”, “add”, or “alternate” displayed on the display unit 23. When the user interface 25 is a keyboard, “new”, “delete”, “add” or “alternate” is input.
The display device 20 creates editing information D based on the barcode information B1 read as described above and the editing method C. The editing information D has a data format having an area DA, an area DB, and an area DC as shown in FIG. 3, for example. In the editing information of FIG. 3, the barcode information B1 obtained by reading the barcode attached to the product is inserted into the area DA. The area DB is an area in which an editing method is inserted, and any one of four pieces of information “new”, “deletion”, “addition”, and “substitution” is inserted. The area DC is an area used when the editing method is alternative, and the barcode information B2 of the commodity to be replaced is inserted. The barcode information B2 is input by reading the barcode attached to the product to be replaced or selecting the content.

For example, when the editing method C is “new”, the editing information D1 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4A, the barcode information B1 “00000006” acquired by reading the barcode attached to the product is inserted into the area DA of the data format. Then, the editing information C input as “new” is inserted into the area DB of the data format. If the editing method is new, there is no content to be substituted, so the data format area DC is blank.
The editing information D1 created in this way creates schedule information A1 as shown in FIG. That is, the schedule editing unit 26 transmits the barcode information “00000006” to the server 10 and requests transmission of the content b1. The server 10 extracts the content b1 from the content storage unit 11, acquires the content b1, and transmits it to the display device 20. Then, the schedule editing unit 26 creates schedule information A1 including the reproduction order “1”, the barcode “0000006”, and the content A1 “content b1”.

When the editing method C is “delete”, editing information D2 shown in FIG. 5A is created. As shown in FIG. 5A, the barcode information B1 acquired by reading the barcode attached to the product is inserted into the data format area DA. Then, the editing information input as “deleted” is inserted into the area DB of the data format. If the editing method is deletion, there is no content to be replaced, so the data format area DC is blank.
Based on the editing information D2 created in this manner, the schedule editing unit 26 creates schedule information A2 as shown in FIG. That is, the schedule editing unit 26 leaves the reproduction order column of the barcode information “00000002” blank, and lowers the reproduction order thereafter. As described above, the column including the content a2 may be deleted in addition to setting the reproduction order column blank. As a result, the content a2 is not reproduced, and the content a1, a2, a3, and a5 are sequentially reproduced.

When the editing method C is “alternative”, editing information D3 shown in FIG. 6A is created. As shown in FIG. 6A, the barcode information B1 acquired by reading the barcode attached to the product to be displayed is inserted into the data format area DA. Then, the editing method C input as “alternative” is inserted into the area DB of the data format. When the editing method is an alternative, the barcode information B2 obtained by reading the barcode of the product to be replaced or the content information B2 acquired by selecting the content to be replaced is inserted into the area DC of the data format.
The editing information D3 created in this way is created by the schedule editing unit 26 as shown in FIG. 6B. That is, the schedule editing unit 26 replaces the barcode information “00000004” with the barcode information “00000006”, and replaces the content a4 with the content b1. Then, the schedule editing unit 26 transmits the barcode information “00000006” to the server 10 and requests transmission of the content b1. The server 10 extracts the content b1 from the content storage unit 11, acquires the content b1, and transmits it to the display device 20. Then, the schedule editing unit 26 changes the barcode information to “0000006” and changes the content b1 to create schedule information A3.

When the editing method C is “addition”, editing information D4 shown in FIG. 7A is created. As shown in FIG. 7A, the barcode information B1 obtained by reading the barcode attached to the product is inserted into the data format area DA. Then, the editing method C input “add” is inserted into the area DB of the data format. If the editing method C is additional, there is no content to be replaced, so the data format area DC is blank.
Based on the editing information D4 created in this way, the schedule editing unit 26 creates schedule information A4 as shown in FIG. In other words, the schedule editing unit 26 adds the barcode information and its content b1 to the content column with the barcode information “00000006” as the playback order 6. Then, the schedule editing unit 26 transmits the barcode information “00000006” to the server 10 and requests transmission of the content b1. The server 10 extracts the content b1 from the content storage unit 11, acquires the content b1, and transmits it to the display device 20. Then, the schedule editing unit 26 adds the content b1 to the playback order 6 and creates schedule information A4.
In the case of this addition, it has been added to the playback order 6, but it may be added by specifying the rank in any of the playback orders 1 to 5 by inputting the playback order on the display unit 20.

The case where the store clerk or the store manager creates the editing information D from the display device has been described above, but the customer may create the editing information. The server of the present invention stores, in the content storage unit 11, in addition to still images or moving images for product advertisements, advertisements, and public relations, product manufacturing location, production location, producer, raw material, ingredient table, specification table, and description. Card, calories, expiration date, expiry date, allergy information, distribution channel, coupon availability, discount information, menus that can be cooked with the food, nutrients missing from the food, recommended foods to supplement the lack of nutrients, clothing Information on other clothing items to be combined, the subject of the hospital concerned, medical hours, doctors in charge, waiting time or precautions, total amount of purchased products, calculation services, etc. are also stored. Display these information. For this reason, the “detailed information display” selection screen is displayed so that it can be selected. When “display detailed information” is selected, a detailed information item is displayed and selected. In addition, “return” is displayed as editing information so that it can be returned to the original POP display after editing, so that it can be selected.
In the above description, the product code is read by a bar code reader. However, if the product has an RFID tag, an RFID reader is used. If an IC card is attached, an IC card reader may be used. . In addition, when a QR code is attached, it may be read by taking an image with a camera and analyzing the image.

  Based on the new schedule information A1 to A4 created as described above, the display device 20 requests the server 10 to transmit the content. The server 10 reads the content requested to be transmitted from the content storage unit 11, compresses it, and transmits it. The display device 20 receives the content from the server 10, and the display control unit 22 causes the display unit 23 to sequentially display the content corresponding to the content a1 to the content a5 according to the schedule information A stored in the schedule storage unit 26. Alternatively, each content is displayed according to the playback time.

FIG. 8 shows a flowchart of the display device 20 and the server 10.
As shown in FIG. 8, in step S1, the display device 20 confirms the schedule information A and determines the content to be displayed. In step S2, the server 10 requests transmission of the content determined in step S1.
Next, in step S <b> 3, the server 10 receives a content transmission request from the display device 10. In step S4, the content requested to be transmitted is read from the content storage unit 11. In step S5, the read content is transmitted to the display device 10 that has requested transmission.
In step S <b> 6, the display device 20 receives the content transmitted from the server 10. In step S <b> 7, the display device 20 displays the content on the display unit 23.

FIG. 9 shows a flowchart for creating editing information on the display device 20.
The display device 20 reads the barcode 31 attached to the product 30 in step S11. Thereby, the barcode information B1 is acquired. In step S12, an edit screen is displayed on the display unit 23. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the display screen includes “1. New”, “2. Delete”, “3. Alternative”, “4. Add”, “5. Display of detailed information” or “6. "Return" is displayed, and "Please select any number" is displayed. In step S13, the editing method C is selected using a mouse or a touch panel. Instead of displaying the editing screen as in steps S12 and S13, the editing method C may be directly input from the keyboard. “Display detailed information” and “return” may be selected together with “new”, “delete”, “alternate”, or “add”.
If the editing method C is an alternative, step S14 determines YES, and in step S15, the barcode of the item to be replaced is read to obtain barcode information B2. Next, in step S16, the editing information D3 shown in FIG. 6 is created based on the barcode information B1 acquired in step S11 and the barcode information B2 read from the product replaced in step S15.

  If the editing method C is not an alternative, that is, if it is new, deleted, or added, step S14 determines NO, and in step S17, the barcode information B1 acquired in step S11 and the editing method input in step S13 Based on C (new, deleted, added), edit information D1, D2 or D4 shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5 or FIG. 8 is created.

FIG. 10 shows a flowchart for creating schedule information on the display device 20.
As shown in FIG. 10, in step S <b> 21, the display device 20 confirms the schedule information A stored in the schedule storage unit 27. This schedule information A is, for example, the schedule information shown in FIG. In step S22, content information to be transmitted to the server 10 is determined. In step S23, the schedule information A is transmitted to the schedule editing unit 26.

In step S24, the editing information D is received from the barcode reader 24 and the user interface 25. In step S25, the presence / absence of editing information is determined. If there is no editing information D, the process returns to step S21. If there is the editing information D, the process proceeds to step S26, and the schedule editing unit 26 acquires the corresponding content b1 using the barcode information B1 included in the editing information D. When the editing information is “alternative”, the content a4 corresponding to the barcode information B2 included in the area DC of the data format is also acquired.
Next, in step S27, the current schedule information A is read. In step S28, schedule information A is edited. The editing of the schedule information in step S28 will be described with reference to FIG. Thereafter, in step S29, when “return” is selected as the editing method, the process returns to step S21 after a predetermined time has elapsed.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart for explaining the editing process of the schedule editing unit 26.
Step S28 is processed as in steps S31 to S37. That is, step S31 determines whether the editing information D included in step S28 of FIG. 10 is new, deleted, substituted, or added. If it is new, the process proceeds to step S36. In the case of deletion, the process proceeds to step S37. In the alternative case, the process proceeds to steps S32 to S34. In the case of addition, the process proceeds to step S35.

  If it is new, since it is the editing information D1, the process proceeds to step S36, all the content information a1 to a5 included in the schedule information A are deleted, and the process proceeds to step S35. Step S35 is processing for inserting the content b1 acquired in step S26 of FIG. By this processing, new schedule information A1 shown in FIG. 4B is created.

  In the case of deletion, since it is the editing information D2, the process proceeds to step S37, and the reproduction order of the content a2 acquired in step S26 of FIG. 10 is deleted from the content information a1 to a5 included in the schedule information A. Alternatively, the column including the content a2 is deleted. By this processing, new schedule information A2 shown in FIG. 5B is created.

  In the alternative case, since it is the editing information D3, the process proceeds to step S32, and the content b1 in step S26 of FIG. 10 is acquired. Next, in step S33, the content b1 is inserted into the schedule information A. In step S34, the content a4 of the schedule information is deleted. By this process, new schedule information A3 shown in FIG. 6B is created.

  In the case of addition, since it is the editing information D4, the process proceeds to step S35, the content b1 in step S26 of FIG. 10 is acquired, and the content b1 is inserted into the schedule information A. By this process, new schedule information A4 shown in FIG. 7B is created.

  If the editing information received in step S24 is "display detailed information", the detailed information display item is transmitted to the server 10 as a keyword. The server 10 searches the content storage unit 11 based on the received keyword, and extracts information corresponding to the requested detailed information item. Then, information corresponding to the item of detailed information is transmitted to the display device 20. The display device 20 edits information corresponding to the item of detailed information transmitted from the server 10 so as to be inserted in the content field of the schedule information, for example. Thereby, new schedule information for displaying detailed information is created. The detailed information is displayed on the display unit 23.

  When new schedule information A is created as described above, the process proceeds to the next step S29.
