Next, the outline of the wireless communication service providing system according to the present invention configured as described above will be described.

In this wireless communication service providing system, the condition of the distribution destination specified by the advertiser (particularly, the distribution area)
In accordance with the above, the advertisement information management server notifies the delivery destination condition to a plurality of wireless communication devices using a notification channel (however, a control channel may be used) of the base station that covers the distribution area, and the wireless communication device When the reception condition is satisfied, the advertisement information provided by the advertisement information management server is obtained using the call channel or the broadcast channel. And
When the wireless communication device obtains the advertisement information, it does not obtain the same advertisement information even when the reception condition is satisfied again. The communication network includes PDC, PHS, and GSM.
For example, a wireless communication network such as a CDMA or CDMA system, a public line network and the Internet are used.

First, when using this system, as has conventionally been practiced, a communication carrier (for example, NTT DOCOMO, KDDI or AU or J-Phone) and a user of a wireless communication device sign a wireless telephone use contract. For the first time, the user can be provided with a wireless communication service such as voice communication and mail transmission / reception. Then, the advertisement distribution company distributes the advertisement information from the advertisement information management server to the user. However, since it is expected that the communication carrier also serves as the advertisement distribution company, this case will be described as an example. However, there is no problem even if the communication carrier and the advertisement distribution company are different.

[0061] A telecommunications carrier performing the advertising distribution business would recommend adding an advertising distribution service contract when concluding a wireless telephone use contract with a user. In addition, this contract is also advantageous for the user, because the usage fee based on the telephone usage contract can be discounted more than usual as a price for viewing the advertisement information distributed by the communication carrier to the wireless communication device. This discount is determined by the number and amount of advertisement information received by the user. For example, the user discounts 5 yen per received advertisement information or discounts according to the amount of advertisement data. In addition,
In order to prove that the user has viewed the advertisement information, when the wireless communication device opens and displays the advertisement file, the advertisement file ID and the device ID are sent back to the advertisement information management server. Reliability can be improved. Further, in response to a request from the wireless communication device, a map indicating the positional relationship between the position of the user and the store may be transmitted from the advertisement information management server.

On the other hand, the telecommunications carrier collects an advertisement information distribution fee from an advertiser instead of discounting a user's usage fee. This advertisement information distribution fee is determined by the number and amount of advertisement information transmitted to the user. For example, 10 yen is collected per advertisement information transmitted to the user, or collected according to the amount of advertisement data. Further, the communication carrier provides the total number of transmitted advertisement information, the number of users who have viewed the advertisement information, and personal information (for example, age, gender, occupation, etc.) to the advertiser. Thus, the advertiser can accurately grasp the sales effect on the advertising cost. Further, if the advertiser adopts a sales strategy in which the user presents an advertisement distributed to the wireless communication device and discounts the purchase price of the product, further improvement in sales is expected.

Next, the operation of the wireless communication service providing system according to the present invention configured as described above will be described.

When a user and a telecommunications carrier and an advertiser conclude an advertisement distribution service contract with a communication carrier (that is, also serving as an advertisement distributor), information on the user and the advertiser used for advertisement distribution (advertiser ID and password) are registered in the advertisement information management server, and the system can be used. In addition, as an example of an advertiser, a fish shop (store name ABC fish shop) having a store in a supermarket or the like will be described, but the present invention can also be applied to a hamburger shop, a lunch box sale, and the like.

First, the shopkeeper of the fishmonger as an advertiser purchases a large amount of fresh sword fish to be sold in a large sale, and inputs information for distributing the large sale advertisement to a target.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a home page of an advertisement distribution service provided by the advertisement information management server to the advertisement provider terminal.

The advertiser uses the advertisement provider terminal 5A to
When the user accesses the advertisement distribution homepage provided by the advertisement information management server, the advertisement information entry homepage is displayed on the display screen of the advertisement provider terminal 5A (FIG. 3A).
reference). Then, when the advertiser inputs the advertiser ID and password in the state of FIG. 3A, if the advertisement information management server 4A collates and authenticates the information, FIG.
The screen shifts to the advertisement information input screen shown in FIG.

In the state shown in FIG. 3B, the advertiser can newly input an advertisement message and a distribution condition as advertisement information, but can also select the already input advertisement information. The advertiser clicks the new advertisement message input button, and inputs, for example, "Today, we sell a large fresh swordfish off Sanriku! 300 yen for 5 animals! 50% discount for those who saw the advertisement!" Click a select button to select a required distribution condition from a plurality of registered distribution conditions. For example, for a housewife aged 20 to 49 who is within 1 km of a supermarket,
A delivery condition is selected such that a delivery is made to a maximum of 1,000 people from time to 15:00. What is particularly important here is distance information (distribution area). For example, even if an advertisement message is sent to a target 10 km or 20 km away from a supermarket, the possibility of going to a store is reduced, and it is difficult to obtain an advertising effect. Because it becomes.

Then, finally, returning to FIG. 3B, if the transmission button is clicked, the advertisement information is transmitted to the advertisement information management server 4A. The advertisement information can be corrected by clicking the correction button, the input advertisement information can be canceled by clicking the cancel button, and the user can exit from this home page by clicking the EXIT button. In addition, as another method of transmitting the advertisement information to the advertisement information management server 4A, the advertisement message and the distribution conditions may be transmitted in a file format by e-mail.

On the other hand, the advertisement information management server 4A updates the position information of the portable terminals 1A of all users who have concluded the advertisement distribution service contract from time to time, and keeps track of the current positions of those terminals. For example, the portable terminal 1A having the position detecting function is caused to transmit the measured position information periodically or every time a request is made, or the base station 2A.
Is used to measure and grasp the position of the mobile terminal 1A. According to this position measurement principle, radio waves transmitted by the mobile terminal 1A are measured by a plurality of base stations 2A, and position information is obtained by calculating a distance from each base station 2A. The present system can be realized by simply recognizing a rough position by the base station 2A whose position is registered by the mobile terminal 1A without adopting the method. However, in this case, a fine distance cannot be specified as a search condition.

Upon receiving the above-mentioned advertisement information, the advertisement information management server 4A first checks whether or not the transmission time is specified as a distribution condition. In this case, since the distribution start time is 10:00, it waits until the time comes.

At 10:00 of the distribution start time, the advertisement information management server 4A recognizes one or a plurality of base stations 2A within 1 km from the supermarket, and recognizes the base stations 2A.
Is notified of the distribution destination information of the advertisement information by using the notification channel.

The mobile terminal 1A intermittently monitors the control channel specified by the registered base station 2A during standby, and when the notified call number matches its own ID number, a predetermined call is made. By making a call connection with the base station 2A according to the connection procedure, and transmitting and receiving a voice signal using a communication channel, a call and data transmission and reception with the other party's communication terminal become possible. In addition, the mobile terminal 1A grasps its own current position based on the position information reported by the base station 2A on the control channel that is intermittently monitored. However, if the device has a position detecting function by GPS, the current position is measured and grasped by itself. Further, the mobile terminal 1A uses the idle time of the intermittent monitoring (intermittent reception) of the control channel during standby to obtain the distribution destination information of the advertisement information notified on the notification channel by the advertisement information management server 4A, and Based on the information and its own current location information, it is determined whether or not it is located in the distribution area of the advertisement information. Then, when located in the distribution area, when other conditions in the distribution destination information (for example, a housewife between the ages of 20 and 49) are satisfied, all of the advertisement information that is also broadcast on the broadcast channel is received. I do. In this case, the advertisement information is broadcast in packet units, and the advertisement data in packet units has a format of an advertisement ID, a total number of data, a data number, and advertisement data. After receiving all the advertisement data designated by the total number of data, the mobile terminal 1A connects the advertisement data in the order of the data numbers, thereby enabling the display of all the advertisement information. However, when the advertisement information management server 4A broadcasts only the distribution destination information of the advertisement information on the broadcast channel, the portable terminal 1A communicates with the base station according to a predetermined call connection procedure in order to receive the distribution of the advertisement information satisfying the reception condition. Connect, and receive the advertisement information using the communication channel (data communication channel). For example, along with the name of the ABC fish shop that is the advertiser, "Today, we will sell a large fresh sword fish off Sanriku!
300 yen for one! 50% discount for those who see the advertisement! "
Is received as a text message or a document file.

When the portable terminal 1A obtains the advertisement information by using the broadcast channel, when the mobile terminal 1A performs the mutual communication with the wireless communication network after obtaining the advertisement information, the portable terminal 1A indicates that the advertisement information has been obtained. Information (hereinafter, "Received Information"
Also called. ) Is transmitted to the advertisement information management server 4A. Further, when displaying the advertisement information, the portable terminal 1A transmits the received information of the advertisement information to the wireless communication network side when the mutual communication with the wireless communication network side is performed after the display of the advertisement information.

The advertisement information management server 4A stores the total number of distributions of the advertisement information transmitted to the plurality of portable terminals 1A according to the number of transmitted advertisement information using the communication channel and the number of received information of the advertisement information. And the number of distribution is 1000
Continue until you reach a person. At this time, the advertisement ID corresponding to the advertisement message is entered as an item in the personal information database.
And set the sent flag. As a result, the same advertisement message is not repeatedly transmitted to the same user. That is, even if the mobile terminal 1A once goes out of the designated area and then returns to the designated area again, if the transmitted flag is set, the same advertisement message is not transmitted. This advertisement message was sent on September 4, 2000
Assume that it was transmitted at 0:00.

The mobile terminal 1A is connected to the advertisement information management server 4A.
When the distribution of the advertisement message is received from, a beep sound is generated and the user is notified. Then, the user of the mobile terminal 1A operates the key input unit 8 to call the e-mail reception list.

This is an advertisement mail received at 8:00 on the day, indicating that it has already been read. Number 05 indicates that the e-mail has been received from Hanako Yamada's mobile phone and has already been read. The reason why the name is displayed as Hanako Yamada is because the received partner telephone ID is registered in the telephone directory memory and the corresponding name is called. Therefore, the other party's telephone ID is displayed at the number 03 because the received other party's telephone ID is not registered in the telephone directory memory. The number 06 indicates that the e-mail address is hanako @ abc. co. jp indicates that the received e-mail is via the Internet and has already been read. The number 07 is also an advertisement mail received on September 1, 2000 at 11:25, indicating that the advertisement mail has not been read yet. Since the number 07 is in the past, time information for automatic deletion may be added, and the control unit 7 may delete the number from the electronic mail reception list. Note that the received e-mail is also displayed below it, but is omitted in FIG. When the OK key of the key input unit 8 is operated in a state where the number 01 in FIG. 4 is selected, the details are displayed.

In addition, the user can perform a predetermined key operation to
The mobile terminal 1A is set in a standby state.

Upon receiving the above-mentioned read information, the advertisement information management server 4A sets a read flag for the advertisement ID in the personal information database. However, even if the read information corresponding to the number 07 in FIG. 4 is received, the user merely sees the already completed large-sale advertisement and does not make much sense as the advertisement, so that the read flag may not be set. This is because the usage fee is discounted according to the number of read flags and the data amount. Note that the advertisement information management server 4A manages the storage period of the advertisement information to be distributed, and deletes it from the database after the distribution period input by the advertiser, so that the read flag may not be set in some cases.

The advertisement information management server 4A also stores an ID number, a discount amount, and a cash card or debit used by the owner of the portable terminal 1A in the electronic commerce, for the merchandise (in this case, swordfish) that has been sold in the advertisement message. The card number is read from the personal information database and transmitted to an electronic commerce mainframe such as a bank or credit company. Further, upon receiving the map data request information, the advertisement information management server 4A accesses the map database and processes and transmits the map data so that the current position of the mobile terminal 1A and the advertiser's shop are displayed in the largest size. . In this case, the map data may be transmitted in a data compressed file format such as GIF, MPEG, or JPEG. The advertisement information management server 4A sorts out the distribution destination of the advertisement and the unread information based on the transmitted flag and the read flag, and transmits the advertisement to the advertisement provider terminal 5A or prints it on paper as desired.
