Description

  The present invention relates to a stamp rally system, and more particularly, to a stamp rally system capable of effectively advertising a product to a user.

  Retailers such as fast food restaurants and railway companies often host stamp rallies as events for attracting customers. The stamp rally is set up at multiple locations such as shops and stations, and the participants collect these stamps, and when all the stamps are collected, the organizer gives prizes and prizes (hereinafter referred to as prizes). It is an event such as giving.

As a result, there has been proposed a method for performing a stamp rally using a mobile phone that has been spreading in recent years, particularly a mobile phone with a camera (see Patent Document 1).
However, in the conventional stamp rally, participants only go around the store and collect stamps, so the organizer could not even advertise their own products to the participants. Participants also need to go to a specific stamp location to get paper, or to go to a specific store at a specific time to get prizes or prizes. However, it was difficult to participate easily.

The organizer can hold the stamp rally cheaply and easily. In addition, according to the system of the present invention, since the stamp is so-called digitally processed, the user can easily enter without having a stamp card, and the labor for obtaining a prize is reduced. Can participate and enjoy.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
As shown in FIG. 1, the stamp rally system of the present invention has one or more user terminals A, one or more organizer terminals B, and an administrator terminal that manages the stamp rally sponsored by the organizer. C. These terminals can transmit and receive with each other via a network such as the Internet.
There are no particular restrictions on the implementation period and format of the stamp rally, but it is necessary to decide in advance between the organizer and the administrator.

  The user terminal A is a terminal under a user who wants to collect stamps and obtain a prize (that is, a stamp rally participant or a person who wants to participate). There may be one or a plurality of user terminals A, and a plurality of user terminals A may exist under one user. As such a user terminal A, for example, a mobile phone that can be connected to a network such as the Internet, particularly a mobile phone such as a mobile phone with a camera that can send and receive images via the network can be cited.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the user terminal A includes a scanning unit 101, a user information writing unit 102, a transmission unit 103, and a reception unit 104. It is preferable to provide the mail creating means 105 in that a user who wants to participate in the stamp rally can easily apply for participation by mail. In addition, it is possible to determine whether the user has surely transmitted the two-dimensional code (for example, QR code) from the place where the stamp is installed, and to check whether it is a copy of the code scanned by another person. It is preferable to provide the position specifying means 106.

The scanning means 101 is for scanning (photographing, etc.) a stamp, and specifically includes a camera of a camera-equipped mobile phone.
Here, the stamp is a record of information regarding the location of the stamp, information regarding the date and time when the stamp was installed, information regarding the organizer of the stamp rally, etc. It can be determined as appropriate according to the format of the stamp rally. For example, in the case of a stamp rally that collects stamps at different locations, it is necessary that at least information related to the location of the stamp is recorded on the stamp. Further, in the case of a stamp rally that collects stamps of different days, it is necessary that at least information about the place where the stamp is installed is recorded on the stamp.
In the present invention, “point” represents the number of “stamps”, but “stamp” may be used in other words as “point”.

Specifically, the information regarding the place where the stamp is installed includes, for example, a store name (for example, a fast food restaurant), a station name (for example, Tokyo Station, Shinjuku Station, and Meidaimae Station). The information regarding the date and time when the stamp is installed may specifically include, for example, the date and whether it is AM / PM. Furthermore, as information regarding the organizer of the stamp rally, specifically, for example, the URL or mail address of the organizer, a link to them (Web to URL, Mail to address), and the like can be given.
There is no particular condition on the recording format of these information, and any of a text format, an HTML format, and the like may be used.

  As such a stamp, for example, a card printed with a bar code or a two-dimensional code (QR code as an example) can be mentioned, but a large amount of information can be recorded by having information in two vertical and horizontal directions. In this respect, it is preferable to use a card (open system) printed with a two-dimensional code (QR code) as shown in FIG. As the two-dimensional code (QR code), those described in ISO / IEC18004 and JIS X0510 (or JP-A-10-208001, JP-A-10-214317, JP-A-11-328301, JP-A-2000-276564). Etc.) can be created and used. Also, as shown in FIG. 4, by using a card (closed type) in which a scratch format number is printed next to a two-dimensional code (QR code), the installation location of the stamp and user information are reliably managed. be able to.

  The user information writing means 102 writes information for specifying a user on the advertisement-added point original page screen. As information for specifying a user, a user password etc. are mentioned, for example.

The transmission unit 103 transmits the stamp scanned by the scanning unit to the organizer terminal, and transmits the advertisement-added point original page screen written by the user information writing unit 102 to the administrator terminal C.
Further, when providing the mail creation means 105 as will be described later, the transmission means 103 sends the mail created by the mail creation means 105 to the administrator terminal C.
Further, when providing the position specifying means as will be described later, the transmitting means 103 transmits the approximate position where the user terminal exists together with the mail to the organizer terminal.

The receiving means 104 receives the advertisement-added point original page screen transmitted from the organizer terminal B. Further, when a mail indicating that the administrator terminal C is registered is transmitted to the user terminal A, the mail indicating that the stamp transmitted from the administrator terminal C is registered is received. When the mail is received, the user has acquired one stamp.
Furthermore, when the administrator terminal C transmits an email indicating that the number of stamps has reached the specified number to the user terminal A, the receiving unit 104 indicates that the stamp transmitted from the administrator terminal has reached the specified number. Receive more.

The mail creating means 105 creates a mail notifying information for identifying a user including at least the mail address of the user terminal A when he / she wants to participate in the stamp rally. As information for specifying a user, in addition to the mail address of the user terminal A, the user's name, telephone number, address, name of the organizer of the stamp rally that he / she wants to participate in, and the like can be cited.
The position specifying means 106 specifies the approximate position of the user terminal.
This is preferable because the user can determine whether or not the two-dimensional code (QR code) has been transmitted from the place where the stamp is installed, and can check whether the code has been scanned by another person. As the location specifying means, for example, when the user terminal A is a NTT Docomo mobile phone (i-mode), the i-area function can be used. Also, a simple location information service for the au mobile phone service, a location information service for the Vodafone mobile phone service, or the like can be used.

Note that the transmission means 103 and the reception means 104 can transmit or receive the stamp to another user terminal, and can transmit and receive the stamp between the user terminals A. If a user goes to a place where a stamp is placed, scans the stamp, and exchanges with other users, each user can go to only one place to collect a plurality of stamps and increase the advertising effect.
In this case, if you want to separate prizes to eliminate unfairness between users who exchanged stamps and users who went around each stamp installation location, if user terminals A send and receive each other, the original page with advertisements It is preferable that an indication of originality remains on the screen.
For example, in the case of a user who has visited each stamp installation location, when sending it to the administrator terminal C, the installation location number and transmission / reception history are entered automatically or manually by the user, and can be copied (by e-mail exchange). The person who sent the acquired screen) can be distinguished at the administrator terminal C because there is no number.
Further, when transmitting to the administrator terminal C, if the transmission location information is also sent together, the administrator terminal C can be distinguished by seeing whether the installation location and the transmission location match or not.

The organizer terminal B is a terminal based on a stamp rally organizer such as a fast food restaurant, a retailer such as a restaurant, or a railroad company that sponsors a stamp rally and provides prizes. There may be one or more organizer terminals B, and a plurality of organizer terminals B may exist under each organizer. An example of such an organizer terminal B is a personal computer that can be connected to a network such as the Internet.
As shown in FIG. 5, the organizer terminal B includes a receiving unit 201, a reading unit 202, a page storage unit 203, a page selection unit 204, and a transmission unit 205. Furthermore, in order to be able to easily inquire about the point accumulation status of each user accumulated in the administrator terminal C, it is preferable to include point inquiry means 206. Further, when the position specifying means 106 is provided in the user terminal A, it is preferable to provide the collating means 207 and the mail creating means 208.

The receiving unit 201 receives a stamp transmitted from the user terminal.
Further, when the position specifying means 106 is provided in the user terminal A, the receiving means 201 receives the approximate position together with the stamp transmitted from the user terminal.

  The reading unit 202 reads the received stamp. That is, the information related to the place where the stamp is recorded, the information related to the date and time when the stamp was installed, the information related to the organizer of the stamp rally, and the like are read. For example, when the stamp is a two-dimensional code (QR code), “URL” written in the QR code is read.

The page accumulation means 203 accumulates the advertisement-added point original page screen. The point page with advertisement original page is a page containing an advertisement of the organizer (advertiser) of the stamp rally.
Here, it is necessary to be able to describe at least information for specifying the user whether or not the user is registered on the advertisement-added point original page screen. Examples of information for specifying a user include a user password issued by an administrator, and an original point screen with advertisements may be provided with a blank for entering this password. . In addition, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 on the original point page with advertisement, a stamp (point), a place name (for example, Meidaimae Station), and a link to the administrator terminal ("Send") Link to enable easy transmission (transfer) to other user terminals is displayed. For example, the display is “tell a friend”.

  The page selection unit 204 selects an advertisement-added point original page screen corresponding to the stamp read by the reading unit 202 from the page screens stored by the page storage unit 203.

The transmission means 205 transmits the advertisement-added point original page screen to the user terminal. The original page with advertisement is preferably transmitted and displayed on the user terminal A without taking any time.
In addition, when the sending unit 205 includes the collating unit 207 and the mail creating unit 208, it is preferable to send the mail created by the mail creating unit to the user terminal.

The point inquiry unit 206 inquires the number of stamps of each user in the organizer's stamp rally accumulated in the point accumulation unit 302 (see FIG. 8) of the administrator terminal C. By inquiring about the number of stamps, you can know the number of stamps of users, you can easily identify the users who are eligible for sending prizes such as travel discount tickets, etc. It is possible to extract a notification to a user who does not have enough stamps. Such point inquiry means 206 may inquire points regularly (for example, every day at 5 pm or every Monday at 12:00 am), or a person in charge inquires about points irregularly. It may be.
Here, as will be described later, when the point accumulating means 302 is written to the effect that data has been transmitted between user terminals, the organizer inquired by the point inquiring means 206 actually sets the type of prize or prize. The prize can be changed to a lower rank (for example, a key holder) than the prize (for example, a bag) of the user who went to the place.

  The collating unit 207 collates the approximate position with the installation location of the stamp recorded on the stamp. For example, when the location specifying means 106 is an i-area of an NTT Docomo mobile phone, the collating means 207 can be an NTT Docomo location information system (for example, JP 2001-103537 A).

When the collation unit determines that the approximate position and the installation location of the stamp recorded on the stamp do not match, the mail creation unit 208 creates a mail to that effect.
In addition, when the stamp rally is held for a limited period as described above, the mail creation unit 208 can also create a mail notifying that the deadline is near and can send it to the user terminal A via the transmission unit 205. .

The manager terminal C is a terminal under the manager who manages the stamp rallies organized by the organizer and accumulates the number of stamps collected by the user in each stamp rally. An example of such an administrator terminal C is a server that can be connected to a network such as the Internet.
As shown in FIG. 8, the administrator terminal C includes a receiving unit 301, a point accumulating unit 302, and a point rewriting unit 303. Here, it is preferable that the mail creation unit 304 and the transmission unit 305 are provided in that it is possible to quickly notify the user that the stamp has been registered and that the stamp has reached the specified number. In order to perform user registration quickly, it is preferable to provide user registration means 306.

The receiving means 301 receives from the organizer terminal B that the advertisement-added point original page screen has been transmitted to the user terminal. The receiving unit 301 receives the advertisement-added point original page screen transmitted from the transmitting unit of the user terminal.
Further, in the case where a user registration unit 306 described later is provided, the reception unit 301 receives a mail from the user terminal A.

The point accumulating unit 302 accumulates the number of stamps of each user in the stamp rally of each organizer. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, a database (A (fast food restaurant), B (railway), C) is prepared for each organizer's stamp rally, and information for identifying each user (for example, a user password) (PW), name) and the number of points can be accumulated. Specifically, each user can be managed as a card (MY card) that can be transmitted to the user terminal as shown in FIG.
In addition, it is preferable that the point accumulating unit 302 further determines whether or not the number of stamps has reached a specified number.

The point rewriting unit 303 rewrites the number of user stamps accumulated in the point accumulating unit. For example, in the case of the above-mentioned example, when the user collects the points of the stamp rally sponsored by the fast food restaurant, the number of stamps of the user stored in the database A is rewritten into one. On the other hand, when a user collects stamp rally points sponsored by a railway company, the number of stamps of the user accumulated in the database of B is rewritten into one.
In addition, the point rewriting unit 304, when information for specifying the user is written on the original page with advertisement, is stored in the point storage unit 302 after confirming the information for specifying the user. Rewrite user stamp count.
Further, as described above, when the stamps can be exchanged and transmitted / received between the user terminals, the point rewriting unit 303 determines the number of user stamps accumulated in the point accumulating unit when the stamps are to be recorded with the history. At the time of rewriting, the fact that data was transmitted / received between user terminals is written.

The mail creation means 304 creates a mail notifying that the stamp has been registered for the user. As will be described later, when a user password is assigned, the mail creating unit 304 preferably creates a mail including the user password. Moreover, when managing the point for every user as a MY card, it is preferable to show to a user as a mail which can log in to a MY card.
When the point accumulating unit 302 determines whether or not the number of stamps has reached a prescribed number, the mail creating unit 304 preferably further creates an email notifying the user that the number of stamps has reached the prescribed number. . As described above, when the mail that can be logged into the MY card is sent, the user can easily know his / her points even if the user is not informed that the number of stamps has reached the specified number.
In addition, when the user registration unit 306 enables the user registration unit 306 to determine whether the user is registered or not registered, the mail creating unit 304 creates a mail that prompts the user terminal not registered in the stamp rally to register.

  The transmission unit 305 transmits the mail created by the mail creation unit 304 to the user terminal. In addition, when the mail creation means 304 creates a mail that prompts user registration, the transmission means 304 also sends this to the user terminal.

The user registration unit 306 newly records information about the user in the point storage unit 302. Here, as information on the user, in addition to the user's email address, name, age, postal code, address, phone number, email address, phone number, and other information such as a user password (ID and Pass) ) Is preferable because it is possible to easily determine whether or not the user is a user of this system when accumulating the number of stamps.
In addition, it is preferable that the user registration unit 306 can smoothly determine whether or not the user terminal of the stamp transmission source has registered in the stamp rally.

Next, an example of a procedure for the user, the organizer, and the administrator when the stamp rally is performed by the system of the present invention will be described.
First, FIG. 11 shows a procedure in the case where a history of transmission / reception between user terminals remains in the stamp.
First, as a premise, the user finds a stamp (open type or closed type) that he / she wants to collect at a place where the stamp is installed, such as a fast food restaurant or a station. The stamp is scanned using the scanning means 101 of the user terminal A (step 101). The transmitting unit 103 transmits the stamp scanned by the scanning unit 101 to the organizer terminal B (step 102), and the receiving unit 201 of the organizer terminal B receives the stamp transmitted from the user terminal A (step 103). ). If the user has already entered the stamp rally for the stamp (Yes in Step 104), the process proceeds to Step 105 as it is. On the other hand, if the entry to the stamp rally has not been made yet (No in Step 104), the mail creating means 105 creates a mail notifying information for identifying the user including at least the mail address of the user terminal A (Step 104). -1) The sending means sends the mail created by the mail creating means 105 to the administrator terminal C (step 104-2). When the receiving means 301 of the administrator terminal C receives the mail from the user terminal A, the user registration means 306 newly records information about the user in the point accumulating means 302 (step 104-3), and the user terminal A message indicating that registration has been completed and a user password (ID and Pass) are transmitted. Then, the process proceeds to Step 105.

  Next, when the receiving means 201 of the organizer terminal B receives the stamp transmitted from the user terminal A (step 104), the reading means 202 reads the stamp (step 105), and the page selection means 204 reads the reading means. The point page with advertisement corresponding to the stamp read by 202 is selected from the page screens stored by the page storage means 203 (step 106). The transmission means 205 transmits the advertisement-added point original page screen to the user terminal A (step 107). The user information writing means 102 of the user terminal A writes the user password information on the advertisement-added point original page screen (step 108) and transmits it to the administrator terminal C (step 109).

  Subsequently, when the receiving means 301 of the administrator terminal C receives the advertisement-added point original page screen from the user terminal A (step 110), it is determined whether or not the history of the point rewriting means 303 sent and received between the user terminals remains. If it remains to be determined (Yes in step 111), the number of stamps of the user is rewritten while writing the fact that the user terminals have transmitted and received (step 112). On the other hand, if it does not remain (No in step 111), the number of stamps of the user is simply rewritten (step 111-1). The mail creation means 304 creates a mail notifying that the stamp has been registered for the user (step 113), and the transmission means 305 sends the mail created by the mail creation means 304 to the user terminal (step 114). . If the point accumulating unit 302 determines that the number of stamps has reached the prescribed number (Yes in step 115), the mail creating unit 304 creates an email notifying the user that the prescribed number of stamps has been reached ( Step 116), the mail created by the mail creating means 304 is transmitted to the user terminal (Step 117), and the process ends. On the other hand, if the number of stamps has not reached the specified number (No in step 115), the process returns to step 101.

Next, another example of a procedure for the user, the organizer, and the administrator when the stamp rally is performed by the system of the present invention will be described. FIG. 12 shows a procedure when the user cannot exchange stamps by sending and receiving.
First, as a premise, the user finds a stamp (closed type) to be collected at a place where the stamp is installed such as a fast food restaurant or a station. The scratch portion of the stamp is scraped to expose the number, and the stamp is scanned using the scanning means 101 of the user terminal A (step 201). The transmitting unit 103 transmits the stamp scanned by the scanning unit 101 to the organizer terminal B (step 202).

  Next, when the receiving means 201 of the organizer terminal B receives the stamp transmitted from the user terminal A (step 203), the reading means 202 reads the stamp (step 204), and the page selection means 204 is the reading means. The point page with advertisement corresponding to the stamp read by 202 is selected from the page screens stored by the page storage means 203 (step 205). The transmission means 205 transmits the advertisement-added point original page screen to the user terminal A (step 206). The transmission means of the user terminal A transmits this to the administrator terminal C (step 207).

Subsequently, when the receiving means 301 of the administrator terminal C receives the advertisement-added point original page screen from the user terminal A (step 208), the user registration means 306 determines whether the user has entered the stamp rally for the stamp. If it is determined that the entry has been made (Yes in Step 209), the point rewriting means 303 rewrites the number of stamps of the user (Step 210), and the mail creation means 304 has registered the stamp for the user. In addition, a mail that can be logged into the MY card is created (step 211), and the sending means 305 sends the mail created by the mail creating means 304 to the user terminal (step 212).
On the other hand, if the entry to the stamp rally has not been made yet (No in step 209), the mail creation means 304 creates an email prompting entry, and the transmission means 305 sends the mail created by the mail creation means 304 to the user terminal. Transmit (step 209-1). Then, the mail creating means 105 of the user terminal A creates a mail notifying information for specifying a user including at least the mail address of the user terminal A (step 209-2), and the transmitting means is the mail creating means 105. Is sent to the administrator terminal C (step 209-3). When the receiving means 301 of the administrator terminal C receives the mail from the user terminal A (step 209-4), the user registration means 306 newly records information about the user in the point accumulating means 302 (step 209). -5) The fact that registration has been completed in the user terminal A and the user password (ID and Pass) are transmitted as an email that can be logged into the MY card (step 209-6).
In addition, this example is a format suitable when it implements in many stores (for example, fast food stores) which exist in the vicinity.

Next, another example of a procedure for the user, the organizer, and the administrator when the stamp rally is performed by the system of the present invention will be described. FIG. 13 shows a procedure in the case where the position specifying means 106 and the collating means 207 are provided and the user terminal A transmits the transmission position to the administrator terminal C at the time of stamp transmission.
First, as a premise, the user finds a stamp to be collected at a place where the stamp is installed such as a fast food restaurant or a station. The stamp is scanned using the scanning means 101 of the user terminal A (step 301). The position specifying means 106 periodically specifies the approximate position of the user terminal A, and the transmission means 103 transmits the approximate position where the user terminal exists together with the stamp scanned by the scanning means 101 to the organizer terminal B. (Step 302).

Next, when the receiving unit 201 of the organizer terminal B receives the stamp and the approximate position transmitted from the user terminal A (step 303), the reading unit 202 reads the stamp (step 304), and the collating unit records the stamp. It is confirmed whether the installation position of the stamp and the approximate position match. If they match (Yes in step 305), the page selection means 204 displays the original page with the advertisement corresponding to the stamp read by the reading means 202. A screen is selected from the page screens stored by the page storage means 203 (step 306). The transmission unit 205 transmits the advertisement-added point original page screen to the user terminal A (step 307). The transmission means of the user terminal A transmits this to the administrator terminal C (step 308).
On the other hand, if the stamp and the approximate position do not match (No in step 305), the mail creating means creates a mail to that effect and sends it to the user (step 305-1), and the procedure is terminated.
The procedure after step 309 is the same as the procedure after step 208 in FIG.
This example is a format suitable for implementation in a large number of stores (for example, fast food restaurants) and stations (railway companies).

Next, another example of a procedure for the user, the organizer, and the administrator when the stamp rally is performed by the system of the present invention will be described. FIG. 14 shows a procedure in the case where registration is performed using only the stamp (no determination is made regarding the transmission / reception history or the approximate position of the user terminal).
First, as a premise, the user finds a stamp to be collected at a place where the stamp is installed such as a fast food restaurant or a station. The stamp is scanned using the scanning means 101 of the user terminal A (step 401). The transmission unit 103 transmits the approximate position where the user terminal exists together with the stamp scanned by the scanning unit 101 to the organizer terminal B (step 402).
