Is an analysis of the record of the user requesting detailed information from the server computer 100 using the mobile phone 200. As shown in FIG. 6, based on the achievement database,
It is possible to analyze which information is the most accessed by posting the advertisement information in which place.

Referring to FIG. 7, the program executed by server computer 100 according to the present embodiment has the following control structure.

Step (hereinafter, step is abbreviated as S)
At 100, the CPU 120 of the server computer 100
Determines whether an access code has been received from mobile phone 200. When the access code is received from mobile phone 200 (YES in S100), the process proceeds to S102. If not (NO in S100), the process returns to S100 and waits for reception of the access code from mobile phone 200.

At S102, CPU 120 identifies the information code from the received access code. At this time, the information database (FIG. 5) is referred to. S104
At, CPU 120 reads detailed information from the information database (FIG. 5) based on the identified information code.
In S106, CPU 120 transmits the detailed information read from the information database (FIG. 5) to mobile phone 200 which has transmitted the access code.

At S108, CPU 120 updates the access record (cumulative, average) of the record database (FIG. 6).

At S110, CPU 120 determines whether or not the date and time of performance analysis has been reached. This determination is made based on whether or not the current date and time has reached a predetermined date and time for performing the performance analysis. When the result analysis date and time is reached (YES in S110), the process proceeds to S112.
If not (NO in S110), the process is S10.
It is returned to 0 and waits for the reception of the access code from the mobile phone 200.

At S112, CPU 120 reads the access record of the record database (FIG. 6). In S114, CPU 120 calculates an access record for each information code and each location code, an access record for each information code, and an access record for each location code based on the read access records.

At S116, CPU 120 determines whether or not the cancellation of this process has been input. If the cancellation of the process is input (YES in S116), the process is terminated. If not (NO in S116), the process proceeds to S
The process returns to 100 and waits for reception of the access code from the mobile phone 200.

The operation of the server computer 100 based on the above structure and flowchart will be described.

As shown in FIG. 8, advertisement information (poster or the like) with an access code is posted on the premises of a terminal station of a railway where many people gather. The user of the mobile phone 200, who sees such advertisement information, requests the server computer 100 for detailed information about the advertisement target written on this poster. The user of the mobile phone 200 inputs the access code “010003” shown in FIG. 8 to the mobile phone 200 to make a transmission request to the server computer 100.

The server computer 100 is the mobile phone 2
The access code is received from 00 (YE at S100).
S), the information code is identified from the received access code (S102). Detailed information is read from the information database (FIG. 5) based on the identified information code (S10).
4) The read detailed information is transmitted to the mobile phone 200 that has transmitted the access code (S106). Figure 8
The mobile phone 200 that has transmitted the access code “010003” shown in FIG.
The contact information is transmitted and displayed on the display unit of the mobile phone 200.

Along with the operation of transmitting detailed information to the mobile phone 200, the access record of the record database (FIG. 6) is updated.

When the date and time (for example, every month) for analyzing the result is reached (YES in S110), the access result of the result database (FIG. 6) is read (S11).
2) The access record for each information code and location code, the access record for each information code, and the access record for each location code are calculated (S114).

For example, when displaying the outline information of the soft drink on the information display device 590 installed at a certain place, it is possible to know what temperature the access record becomes high. Further, based on the received light amount data, if the access record is low when the surroundings of the information display device are dark, it can be determined that the general information is difficult for the public to see. Therefore, the display driver 542 can be instructed to improve the brightness of the display monitor 544. Further, the voice output unit 580 of the information display device 590 may announce by voice that general information is posted. In this case, since the noise around the information display device 590 is large and the public cannot hear the sound, the access record is lowered. Based on the noise data, if the access record is low when the surroundings of the information display device are noisy, it can be determined that the public cannot hear the voice corresponding to the outline information.
