(Configuration of the embodiment)
Hereinafter, a book management system according to an embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as the present embodiment) will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In addition, the same number or code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same element through the whole description of embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a book management system 10 according to the present embodiment includes a network 60 such as an IP (Internet Protocol) network at least including a plurality of user terminals 20 used by consumers and a book management apparatus 30. Connected via.

  The network 60 may further be connected with a book database server 40 managed by the Japan Book Publishing Association and a bookstore terminal 50 installed in the bookstore. The user terminal 20 can acquire information such as a book name, the number of volumes, and an author name from the book database server 40 regarding the published book, and can acquire book guide information from the bookstore terminal 50.

  The user terminal 20 includes, for example, iPhone (registered trademark) for acquiring a book owned by the user and / or a bibliographic item of a book to be purchased from the book database server 40 and registering it in the book management apparatus 30. It is a normal portable information device such as a smart phone or a PC (Personal Computer). The user terminal 20 reads a book JAN (Japanese Article Number) code attached to the book and searches a database created by a book management apparatus 30 to be described later, thereby updating addition registration, collation, deletion, and the like.

  Here, the book JAN code used as identification information is a JAN code used for publications, and unlike a normal JAN code system, in March 1990, a general incorporated foundation Distribution System Development Center and a book It was established in agreement with the industry. The book JAN code is composed of two levels of barcodes. The first level is an international standard code bar code for ISBN (International Standard Book Numbering) starting with “978”. The second level is Japan's original book classification and tax-excluded. Consists of body price. The information on the first and second levels is displayed on the back cover and slip of the book and is called “Japanese book code”. The book JAN code is a Japanese book code information displayed as a barcode, and the information can be collected by a barcode reader or the like of the user terminal 20.

  In the bookstore, one or more transmitters 50a for transmitting a specific beacon are installed in the store, and a specific application (application program) is activated when a user holding the user terminal 20 approaches the bookstore. The At this time, the user terminal 20 can receive the book guide information from the bookstore terminal 50 further connected to the network 60.

  This is realized by using a mechanism of iBeacon (registered trademark) used for guidance from the Internet or the like to a bookstore. iBeacon (registered trademark) is an extension specification of Bluetooth (registered trademark) BLE (Bluetooth (registered trademark) Low Energy), and uses a transmitter 50a and an iPhone (registered trademark) compatible with reception of radio waves from the transmitter 50a. This is a mechanism established by a combination of two (trademark) apps.

  Specifically, when a unique identifier called an “advertisement packet” is transmitted from the transmitter 50a, an iPhone (registered trademark) application associated with the identifier reacts and is installed in a bookstore or the like. A notification for realizing guidance to the terminal 50 is transmitted. For this reason, the same identifier as that of the transmitter 50a is also registered in the iPhone (registered trademark) application, and only when the application is determined to contain the same identifier as the transmitter 50a, the application is automatically And a notification for guidance is displayed on the iPhone (registered trademark). Since this mechanism can also be realized by the user terminal 20, hereinafter, the entire portable information device including iPhone (registered trademark) will be collectively referred to as the user terminal 20 and the description will be continued.

  The guide information transmission is not limited to a beacon, but can be replaced by a check-in service that can obtain information on nearby commercial facilities by using a location information service such as GPS (Global Positioning System) 70. Also good. The information obtained by this check-in service includes discounts such as coupons and privilege items in addition to mere store information. This location information service is performed by the bookstore side specifying the location of the user who owns the user terminal 20 by using a network environment such as GPS 70 or Wi-Fi (registered trademark).

  When the user terminal 20 registers a bibliographic item of a book, the book management apparatus 30 stores a virtual archive for each user (321 in FIG. 3) on a database (a storage unit 32 in FIG. 3 described later) based on the registered bibliographic item. ). And it has a function which collates the identification information (book JAN code) of the book read by the user terminal 20, and the virtual library classified by user on a database, and updates a virtual library classified by user. Further, the book management apparatus 30 may perform book information synchronization processing with the user terminal 20 regularly or irregularly.

  In the book management system 10 according to the present embodiment, the book management apparatus 30 is assumed to be realized by a Web (World Wide Web) server group realized by a cloud service by a cloud computing system. However, when the book management system 10 according to the present embodiment is constructed, the cloud management of the book management apparatus 30 is not essential, and may be realized by a book management server or the like that is managed and operated by itself.

(Operation of the embodiment)
Hereinafter, the operation of the book management system 10 according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 5 and 6 and the screen configuration of the user terminal 20 shown in FIGS.

  First, the basic processing operation of the book management system 10 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 5, FIG. 7, and FIG. In the following description, the processing unit 21 (book information registration unit 211) of the user terminal 20 executes an operation for registering a book owned by the user and / or a bibliographic item of a book to be purchased, and stores the book. It is assumed that the My book information 220 has already been registered in the unit 22. Further, when the user terminal 20 communicates with the book management apparatus 30, the processing unit 31 (user-specific virtual archive creation unit 311) of the book management apparatus 30 performs the storage in the storage unit 32 based on the registered bibliographic items. In the virtual archive 321 classified by user allocated and stored in the work area, “purchase date”, “purchase destination”, “book JAN code” “category”, “book name”, “number of volumes”, for each user ID, In the following description, it is assumed that book information including data areas such as “author name” and “flag” has been created.

  According to FIG. 5, first, when the user turns on the user terminal 20 and starts it, for example, the main menu shown in FIG. 7A is displayed (step S101). Here, “book shelf list”, “purchase list”, “addition / collation / deletion”, and “setting” are prepared as main menus. In addition to the main menu, “notification”, “banner advertisement”, and the like transmitted from the book management apparatus 30 have a screen area secured and displayed.

  When the “list of bookshelves” in the main menu is selected by the operation unit 24 of the user terminal 20 (step S102 “YES”), the processing unit 21 is displayed on the display unit 25, for example, as shown in FIG. A search information input screen is displayed to prompt the user to input search information. In the book management apparatus 30, the processing unit 31 (the book management unit 312) takes in information related to the category and name of the book among the search information input by the user (“YES” in step S <b> 103), and The book information in the virtual archive 321 classified by user assigned to the work area is searched. Then, for example, the search result screen information shown in FIG. 7C is generated and transmitted to the user terminal 20 that requested it.

  In accordance with the received search result screen information, the user terminal 20 displays the books classified by category as a list of bookshelves on the display unit 25 (step S104). If the target is a series of books, as shown with an arrow A, the number of unpurchased volumes and the number of already purchased volumes are displayed separately. Here, the book of the number of unpurchased volumes is hatched.

  When displaying a list of bookshelves, the book management apparatus 30 does not search the user-specific virtual archive 321, but the user terminal 20 searches the My book information 220 stored in the work area of the storage unit 22. The screen may be displayed on the display unit 25.

  When the user selects “Purchase list” in the main menu (“YES” in step S105), the book management apparatus 30 has the processing unit 31 (book management means 312) for each user in the storage unit 32. Of the book information in the virtual library 321, the flag area of the corresponding user ID is referenced to search for a book whose flag is scheduled to be purchased, and the user terminal 20 that requested the search result. Send to. Then, the user terminal 20 that has received the information collectively displays the screen as a purchase schedule list on the display unit 25 (step S106).

  On the other hand, for example, when the user selects “addition / collation / deletion” in the main menu shown in FIG. 8A (step S107 “YES”), the book management apparatus 30 includes the processing unit 31 (book management means). 312) further fetches the book JAN code read by the barcode reading unit 27 (step S108 “YES”), and stores the book JAN code and the virtual archive 321 for each user stored in the work area of the storage unit 32. The book information is collated, and the presence or absence of registration is determined (step S109). As a result of the collation, if the hit (already registered) is made (step S109 “YES”), the processing unit 31 displays an already purchased message on the display unit 25 of the user terminal 20 (step S110), and the same book is displayed to the user. Call attention to avoid duplicate purchases. “FIG. 8B shows a“ barcode scan button ”for instructing reading of a book JAN code, and FIG. 8C shows“ already registered in xx ”as an example of an already purchased message. .

  If a book corresponding to the imported book JAN code is mis-hit in the virtual archive 321 for each user (step S109 “NO”), the processing unit 31 uses the book management unit 312 and the user uses the operation unit 24. It waits for information input related to an instruction to add a purchase plan to be input by operating (step S111). If there is an additional instruction from the user as a purchase schedule (step S111 “YES”), “book JAN code”, “category”, “book name”, “volume number”, “author name”, “author name”, A data item such as “flag” is additionally registered in the entry of the corresponding user ID (step S112). At this time, the purchase schedule flag in the flag data area is set to ON.

  Subsequently, in the processing unit 31, the synchronization unit 313 reads the My book information 220 from the user terminal 20 at the timing when the user-specific virtual library 321 is updated, and matches the book information of the user-specific virtual library 321. In this way, information necessary for updating the book information of the My book information 220 is transmitted to the user terminal 20 and the synchronization process is executed (step S115). The synchronization process may be executed periodically instead of the irregular timing when the virtual archive 321 for each user is updated.

  In step S111, when there is no additional instruction in the purchase schedule (step S111 “NO”), the processing unit 31 further determines whether or not there is a purchase schedule deletion request (step S113). Here, when the user operates the operation unit 24 to issue a purchase schedule deletion request (step S113 “YES”), the processing unit 31 stores the corresponding book information stored in the virtual archive 321 for each user. Is deleted (step S114). At that timing, the synchronization unit 313 reads the My book information 220 from the user terminal 20 and updates the book information of the My book information 220 so that it matches the book information in the virtual archive 321 for each user. Necessary information is transmitted (step S115).

  If the menu of “addition / collation / deletion” is not selected in step S107 (“NO” in step S107), the processing unit 31, for example, whether or not automatic pop-up by receiving a specific beacon, which will be described later, Other menu processing such as setting the guidance target category is executed. The processing unit 31 is not limited to the menu process, and may execute a display process such as a banner advertisement based on a user request.

  Next, the processing operation of the user terminal 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. When the user who possesses the user terminal 20 goes to the bookstore and approaches the radio wave allowable reception range of a specific beacon transmitted from the transmitter 50a installed in the bookstore, the short-range wireless communication unit 26 of the user terminal 20 The beacon is received (step S201 “YES”). At this time, if the identifier included in the beacon has the same identifier as the application installed in the user terminal 20 (step S202 “YES”), the application is activated (step S203).

  If the short-range wireless communication unit 26 cannot receive the beacon (step S201 “NO”), or if it is different from the identifier of the application (step S202 “NO”), the processing unit 21 does nothing. No (NOP processing).

  The processing unit 21 can receive the book guide information transmitted from the bookstore terminal 50 by executing the application (step S204). The reception of the book guide information is executed by the information receiving means 212. That is, when the user terminal 20 approaches the bookstore and receives a specific beacon, the application is activated. At this time, information displayed on the display unit 25 is displayed from the main menu screen shown in FIG. Pop-up automatically on the book guide information screen shown in (b) (arrow B).

  At this time, as the book guide information, the bookstore / store name of the bookstore corresponding to the identifier indicated by the specific beacon is displayed as, for example, “XX bookstore Δ △ store is near”. Further, the book guide information screen includes a button C for confirming a book to be purchased. Therefore, when the user issues a confirmation request for a book to be purchased by operating the operation unit 24 and pressing the button D (step S205 “YES”), the display unit 25 transitions to a purchase schedule list display screen. (Step S206). As a result, the user can purchase the book to be purchased displayed on the display unit 25 at the bookstore where he / she went. If the button D is not pressed (“NO” at step S205), the bookstore guidance information including the new publication guidance and recommended information from the bookstore is displayed (step S207). Guidance is also possible.
