Next, processing of the information system 1 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Here, the processing of the information system 1 shown in FIG. 2 will be described as an example.
Note that the user registration of the distribution information service performed by the shopping mall has been completed, and the application program for receiving distribution information such as advertisements and coupons is installed in the user's mobile terminal device 20 (mobile terminal device ID2). It shall be. Further, it is assumed that each store in the shopping mall has a portable terminal detection device 30 and is registered in the group A in the group information data table shown in FIG.

It is assumed that the user has the mobile terminal device 20 and enters the store J of the shopping mall.
Then, the mobile terminal detection device 30j installed in the store J receives the radio wave transmitted by the mobile terminal device 20. The mobile terminal detection device 30j specifies the mobile terminal device 20 based on information included in the received radio wave. For example, the mobile terminal detection device 30j detects a data frame included in the received radio wave. The mobile terminal detection device 30j acquires the mobile terminal device ID2 that is the identifier of the mobile terminal device 20 from the detected data frame. Then, the mobile terminal detection device 30j adds the detected time information to the acquired mobile terminal device ID2 and the mobile terminal detection device ID3, which is the identifier of the mobile terminal detection device 30j, and transmits it to the authentication / collection server 50.

  When the authentication / collection server 50 receives the mobile terminal device ID2 and the mobile terminal detection device ID3 to which the time information detected from the mobile terminal detection device 30j is received, the mobile terminal device ID2 and the mobile terminal detection device to which the time information is added ID3 is transmitted to the information distribution control device 10. At this time, the authentication / collection server 50 may authenticate whether or not the received mobile terminal device ID2 is a registered user.

  When the information distribution control device 10 receives the portable terminal device ID 2 and the portable terminal detection device ID 3 to which time information is added from the authentication / collection server 50, the distribution information specifying unit 102 reads the user information data table from the storage unit 109. . The distribution information specifying unit 102 compares the mobile terminal device ID in the read user information data table with the mobile terminal device ID received from the authentication / collection server 50. As a result of the comparison, the distribution information specifying unit 102 reads the user attribute corresponding to the mobile terminal device ID determined to be the same in the user information data table (step S1).

  For example, the distribution information specifying unit 102 sequentially compares each mobile terminal device ID held in the user information data table shown in FIG. 4 with the received mobile terminal device ID2. When the distribution information specifying unit 102 compares the second mobile terminal device ID2 in the user information data table with the received mobile terminal device ID2 and determines that they are identical, the user attribute B (female) corresponding to the ID2 is determined. , 20s).

  When the distribution information specifying unit 102 reads the user attribute, the distribution information specifying unit 102 reads the basic rule data table from the storage unit 109. The distribution information specifying unit 102 compares the user attribute in the read basic rule data table with the user attribute read in the process of step S1. As a result of the comparison, the distribution information specifying unit 102 reads the time zone and category 1 corresponding to the user attribute determined to be the same in the basic rule data table. The distribution information specifying unit 102 includes the time information added to the mobile terminal device ID2 and the mobile terminal detection device ID3 received from the authentication / collection server 50 in the time zone corresponding to the user attribute read in the basic rule data table. Which time zone is read is read (step S2). The distribution information specifying unit 102 reads category 1 corresponding to the time zone read in the basic rule data table (step S3).

  For example, the distribution information specifying unit 102 reads the basic rule data table shown in FIG. The distribution information specifying unit 102 sequentially compares the user attribute in the read basic rule data table with the user attribute B read in the process of step S1. The distribution information specifying unit 102 compares the second user attribute B in the basic rule data table with the user attribute B read in the process of step S1, determines that they are the same, and reads the time zone and category 1 . When the time information added to the mobile terminal device ID2 and the mobile terminal detection device ID3 received from the authentication / collection server 50 indicates, for example, 18:15, the distribution information specifying unit 102 uses the time zone D in the read time zone. It is determined that there is, and the corresponding category 1 is read as “meal”.

  When the distribution information specifying unit 102 reads the user attribute, the distribution information specifying unit 102 reads the statistical information data table of the user of the mobile terminal device ID2 shown in FIG. The distribution information specifying unit 102 compares the time zone in the read statistical information data table with the time zone read in the process of step S2. As a result of the comparison, the distribution information specifying unit 102 reads a plurality of categories 1 corresponding to the time zones determined to be the same in the statistical information data table (step S4). The distribution information specifying unit 102 reads which category 1 of the plurality of categories 1 read in the process of step S4 is the category 1 read in the process of step S4 based on statistical information such as the cumulative number of visits to the store. (Step S5). The distribution information specifying unit 102 reads the store name corresponding to the read category 1, the category 2, and the category 3 (step S6).

  For example, the distribution information specifying unit 102 reads the statistical information data table shown in FIG. The distribution information specifying unit 102 sequentially compares the time zone in the read statistical information data table with the time zone read in the process of step S2. The distribution information specifying unit 102 compares the fourth time zone D in the statistical information data table with the time zone D read in the process of step S2 and determines that they are the same, and reads category 1. The distribution information specifying unit 102 reads a plurality of categories 1 corresponding to the time zone D read in the process of step S4. The distribution information specifying unit 102 sequentially compares the category 1 corresponding to the time zone D in the statistical information data table with the category 1 read in the process of step S3. The distribution information specifying unit 102 compares the first category 1 of the category 1 corresponding to the time zone D in the statistical information data table with the category 1 read in the process of step S4, and determines that they are the same. The name is “Store K”, Category 2 is “Luxury”, and Category 3 is “Italian”.

As described above, the distribution information specifying unit 102 reads the distribution information distributed to the mobile terminal device 20 as the distribution information related to the store name, category 1, category 2, and category 3. In the example shown here, the distribution information specifying unit 102 reads the distribution information relating to the store name “store K”, category 1 “meal”, category 2 “luxury”, and category 3 “Italian”.
The distribution information specifying unit 102 outputs the read store name, category 1, category 2, and category 3 to the information distribution unit 103.

In addition, when the information distribution control device 10 receives the mobile terminal device ID2 and the mobile terminal detection device ID3 to which time information is added from the authentication / collection server 50, the group information management unit 101 reads the group information data table. For example, the group information management unit 101 reads a group information data table from the storage unit 109.
The group information management unit 101 reads the group information in which the mobile terminal detection device ID3 is registered in the read group information data table (step S7). The group information management unit 101 outputs group information in which the read mobile terminal detection device ID3 is registered to the information distribution unit 103.

The information distribution unit 103 inputs the store name, category 1, category 2, and category 3 from the distribution information specifying unit 102. In addition, the information distribution unit 103 inputs group information in which the mobile terminal detection device ID3 is registered from the group information management unit 101. Then, the information distribution part 103 determines distribution information based on the input store name, category 1, category 2, category 3, and group information in which the mobile terminal detection device ID3 is registered (step S8). For example, when the store name input from the distribution information specifying unit 102 exists in the store indicated by the group information in which the mobile terminal detection device ID3 is registered and the distribution information related to the store exists, the information distribution unit 103 The information relating to the store is set as distribution information. Further, the information distribution unit 103 has the store name input from the distribution information specifying unit 102 in the store indicated by the group information in which the mobile terminal detection device ID3 is registered, but there is no distribution information related to the store. Uses information related to the nearest store based on category 1, category 2, and category 3 as distribution information. In addition, the information distribution unit 103 is classified into Category 1, Category 2, and Category 3 even when the store name input from the distribution information specifying unit 102 does not exist in the store indicated by the group information in which the mobile terminal detection device ID3 is registered. Based on this, information relating to the nearest store is set as distribution information.
The information distribution unit 103 sets conditions such as, for example, when category 1 is completely matched, category 1 is completely matched with category 2, and all categories 1 to 3 are completely matched, If the conditions are not satisfied, the information may not be distributed.

When the distribution information is determined, the information distribution unit 103 transmits an instruction signal for instructing distribution of the determined distribution information to the mobile terminal device 20 and the distribution information to the PUSH cooperation server 60 (step S9).
When receiving the instruction signal and the distribution information from the information distribution control device 10, the PUSH cooperation server 60 transmits the received instruction signal and the distribution information to the PUSH server 70.
Upon receiving the received instruction signal and distribution information, the PUSH server 70 transmits the received distribution information to the mobile terminal device 20.
