6) providing the communication terminal 10 with an image taken of the contractor;
7) A step of presenting the image provided from the communication terminal 10 to the contractor in a recognizable manner, and 8) A step of processing the settlement of the product.

  Next, a specific application example of the venue order method according to the first aspect and the second aspect will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining a venue order method implemented in the venue order system 1.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the step group indicated by the 100s relates to the venue order method according to the first aspect, which is executed by the communication terminal 10 used by the orderer. The step group indicated by the number 200 series relates to the venue order method according to the second aspect executed by the communication terminal 20 used by the contractor. Hereinafter, description will be made in order with reference to an image display example in the communication terminal 10 or 20.

(Assumption of operation)
As a premise, the user of the communication terminal 10 as an orderer downloads a software program (app) for executing the venue order method according to the first aspect from a predetermined site and installs it in the communication terminal 10 And In addition, it is assumed that a software program (application) for executing the venue order method according to the second aspect is downloaded from a predetermined site and installed in the terminal device 20 used by the salesperson who is the contractor.

(From startup to search condition selection)
In step S100, when the orderer activates the application, the top screen of the venue order service is displayed on the display unit 124. In step S102, the orderer inputs the orderer's search condition from the top screen.

  When the “select from near” mode is selected, the process proceeds to step S104, and the contractor selection unit 106 determines that the communication terminal 20 located near the communication terminal 10, for example, the communication terminal 20 located within a single hop range or The contractor identification information about the communication terminal 20 existing within a predetermined distance from the communication terminal 10 is acquired. Specifically, the communication path establishment unit 102 searches whether the communication terminal 20 is in a single hop area by ad hoc communication. When the communication terminal 20 that has received the inquiry of the current position from the communication terminal 10 is connected by ad hoc communication, the ad hoc communication area of the communication terminal 10 and the ad hoc communication area of the communication terminal 20 directly overlap each other. (See FIG. 1), that is, information indicating whether the user is in a single hop area is provided. When connected by mobile communication, it provides the current location information of the communication terminal 20 acquired by connecting to its own radio beacon, GPS function, or the like. As a result of the search, when one or more communication terminals 20 are located in a single hop area, or when the current position of the communication terminal 10 and the current position of the communication terminal 20 are within a predetermined distance, the communication is performed. Further, the contractor identification information is acquired from the terminal 20.

  When the “select from all” mode is selected, the process proceeds to step S106, and the contractor selection unit 106 acquires contractor identification information for all the registered communication terminals 20. If the contractor identification information is registered in advance in the application, it is called. If not registered, the communication path establishment unit 102 communicates with all the communication terminals 20 that can communicate at present in the baseball field F by ad-hoc communication and mobile communication, and identifies the contractor from the communication terminal 20 that has successfully communicated. Get information.

  When the “brand selection” mode is selected, the process proceeds to step S108, and the contractor selection unit 106 presents information on each brand based on the brand information. The brand information is registered in advance in the application. Contractor identification information is not acquired at the stage of presentation of brand information.

  Next, the process proceeds to step S110, where the contractor selection unit 106 displays a contractor selection screen. FIG. 5 shows an example of a contractor selection screen in the “select from near” mode. FIG. 6 shows an example of a contractor selection screen in the “select from all” mode. FIG. 7 shows an example of a brand selection screen in the “brand selection” mode.

  As shown in FIG. 5, when the “select from near” mode is selected, the display unit 124 of the communication terminal 10 displays the current position of the communication terminal 20 searched in step S104 about the current position of the communication terminal 10. A map based on the map image data relating to the seating arrangement of the baseball field F is displayed at a scale appropriate for displaying the position. Then, the communication terminal 10 and the searched communication terminal 20 are displayed so as to be distinguishable. In the example of FIG. 5, the icon Pu is shown at the position of the communication terminal 10, and the icons Ps <b> 1 and Ps <b> 2 are shown at the searched position of the communication terminal 20. Preferably, the contractor selection unit 106 displays the contractor's face images Gs1, Gs2 and the waiting numbers Ws1, Ws2 of the respective communication terminals 20 based on the contractor identification information. When the orderer selects a desired icon Ps1 or Ps2, one of the contractors is selected. According to such a display mode, the physical distance between the orderer and the contractor can be intuitively grasped by the map display. In addition, the display of the number of waiting persons can provide an indication of how long to wait when each orderer is selected and ordered. Just because you are relatively close to the orderer does not mean that you can respond to orders as soon as there are a large number of waiting parties, but conversely, because you are relatively far from the orderer, If the number of people waiting is small, the delivery of goods will not be delayed. Further, by presenting the face image of the contractor, the orderer can select a favorite contractor separately from the waiting time factor. By displaying the face image of each contractor, the distance to each contractor, and the number of waiting persons, it is possible to provide an appropriate selection environment for the contractor according to the orderer's way of thinking.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the “select from all” mode is selected, the face image Gsn of each contractor is displayed on the display unit 124 of the communication terminal 10 by the number n of the contractor identification information searched in step S106. And the combination of the waiting number Wsn of each contractor are displayed in a line. When the orderer selects a desired face image Gs, any one contractor is selected. When the number of the orderer identification information is so large that it does not fit into one page of the display unit 124, all the orderers are displayed by a known image display means such as scrolling or page switching. According to such a display mode, the contractor's face image Gs and the waiting number Ws are displayed, so that an appropriate selection environment based on the preference and the waiting time can be provided to the orderer. In the “select from all” mode, the current position information is acquired from the communication terminal 20 of each contractor, and the contractors who are far away from the contractor or who are waiting for a predetermined number or more are excluded. May be displayed. Since only a contractor who is inappropriate for selection is presented, it is possible to prevent the orderer from waiting for an extremely long time.

  As shown in FIG. 7, when the “brand selection” mode is selected, the brands searched in step S108 are displayed in a selectable manner on the display unit 124 of the communication terminal 10. When the orderer selects a desired brand B, the contractor identification information is referred to, the contractor handling the selected brand is extracted, and one contractor is selected from among them. For example, current position information is collected from the extracted communication terminal 20 of the contractor, and the contractor closest to the orderer is selected. Further, for example, the extracted waiting person information of the contractor is referred to, and the contractor with the smallest waiting number is selected. When there are a plurality of contractors with the smallest number of waiting persons, for example, current position information is further collected from each contractor's communication terminal 20, and the contractor closest to the orderer is selected. In the example of FIG. 7, brand icons B1 to B4 of the product “beer” are displayed. When the number of brands is too large to fit into one page of the display unit 124, all brands are displayed by known image display means such as scrolling and page switching. According to such a display mode, since the brand B is displayed, it is possible to provide an appropriate selection environment for the orderer who is highly interested in the product brand.

  Returning to FIG. 4, when one contractor is selected, the process proceeds to step S112. If the orderer cancels the selection of the contractor (S112: return), the process returns to the search condition selection in step S102. When the orderer approves the selection of the contractor (S112: approval), the contractor selection unit 106 requests the communication terminal 20 of the selected contractor to provide handling product information.

(From handling product presentation to order processing)
In step S202, the handling product providing unit 206 of the selected orderer communication terminal 20 stores the handling product information provided from the orderer communication terminal 10 in step S112 in the storage unit 230. The stored handling product information 234 is read out and provided to the communication terminal 10.

  In step S114, the product selection unit 108 of the communication terminal 10 acquires handled product information from the communication terminal 20, and displays an ordering screen including a list of handled products on the display unit 124 so as to be selectable by the orderer (S116). . Then, the process proceeds to step S118, and the product selection and ordering from the ordering screen by the orderer is awaited.

  FIG. 8 shows an example of an ordering screen including a list of handled products displayed on the display unit 124 of the orderer's communication terminal 10. As shown in FIG. 8, as a non-limiting example, the ordering screen includes a handling product list Pt, a quantity input field Pn, a total amount field Ta, and an ordering button Bo / cancel button Bc. The orderer inputs a numerical value corresponding to the number of orders in the quantity input column Pn of the products to be ordered by looking at the handling product list Pt. In the total price column Ta, the total price of all products obtained by multiplying the number of orders entered in the quantity input column Pn by the unit price of the product is calculated and displayed. If the orderer selects the order button Bo, the process proceeds to step S120, and if the cancel button Bc is pressed, the process returns to the orderer selection in step S112.

  In step S120, the product selection unit 108 displays a settlement method selection screen (not shown) and allows the orderer to select a settlement method for the ordered product. When the orderer selects the “cash payment” button as a payment method for the order, a flag indicating “cash payment” is registered (S122), and when the “electronic payment” button is selected, a flag indicating “electronic payment” is registered. (S124). In step S126, the product selection unit 108 displays a final confirmation screen (not shown). On the final confirmation screen, an order product, the number of orders, the total amount, an OK button, a cancel button, and the like are displayed. When the orderer presses the OK button (S126: OK), the process proceeds to step S128, and the product selection unit 108 generates order information and provides it to the communication terminal 20. The order information includes information such as identification information 132, ordered products, number of orders, total amount, settlement method, order time, and the like.

  In step S204, when the order information acquisition unit 208 of the communication terminal 20 acquires the order information from the communication terminal 10, the order information acquisition unit 208 stores the order information 236 in the storage unit 230 in association with the communication terminal 10 based on the identification information 132. In step S206, the order information presentation unit 210 presents the order information 236 to the contractor in a recognizable manner. Specifically, when the order information presentation unit 210 acquires the order information 236, the order information presentation unit 210 presents the order product and the order quantity on the display unit 224 so that the order product can be recognized based on the order information. When the order information is provided, the order information presenting unit 210 preferably notifies the contractor of the acquisition of the order information by a predetermined notification means. This is because when the orderer orders the product, the contractor should promptly express his intention to accept.

  FIG. 9 shows an example of an order screen displayed on the display unit 224 of the communication terminal 20 of the contractor. As shown in FIG. 9, as a non-limiting example, the order receiving screen includes an order product list Pt, a product number column Pn, a total amount column Ta, and an order button Ba. The contractor selects the order button Ba after grasping the order contents from the order screen (S208). When the order button Ba is selected, the order information presentation unit 210 provides order information indicating that an order has been received to the communication terminal 10, and the process proceeds to step S210.

  In step S130, the communication terminal 10 that has acquired the order information from the communication terminal 20 presents a reception completion display (not shown) on the display unit 124, and proceeds to step S132. After confirming the reception completion display, the orderer waits for delivery of the ordered product.

(From receiving an order to waiting for an order / indication screen display)
In step S132, the position presentation unit 104 of the communication terminal 10 generates and displays an order waiting screen. The order waiting screen is a screen that presents the position of the communication terminal 10 of itself and the position of the communication terminal 20 of the selected contractor so that the orderer can be recognized on the map. The position presentation unit 104 acquires position information of its own communication terminal 10 using a connection to a wireless sign, a GPS function, or the like. Further, the position presentation unit 104 periodically inquires the communication terminal 20 about the current position during the order waiting period, and acquires the current position information of the communication terminal 20. Then, a map of seat arrangement is displayed at a scale suitable for displaying the positions of both terminals, and both terminals are displayed so as to be distinguishable.

  FIG. 10 shows an example of an order waiting screen (delivery phase) in the communication terminal 10. The example of FIG. 10 corresponds to the case where the contractor Ps2 is selected from the selection screen in the “select from near” mode described in FIG. As shown in FIG. 10, the current position of the communication terminal 10 is indicated by an icon Pu, and the current position of the communication terminal 20 is indicated by an icon Ps2. The icon Ps2 also displays the contractor's face image Gs2 and the waiting number Ws2. In FIG. 10, the waiting number Ws <b> 2 of the contractor is “0”, indicating that the orderer is about to deliver the product. As shown in FIG. 10, it is preferable to display a message M1 indicating that the product is being delivered in order to give the ordering person a sense of expectation that the product will be delivered soon. When the contractor is delivering, the optimum delivery route R may be indicated by an arrow as shown in FIG. The calculation of the optimum route will be described later in step S210.

  FIG. 11 shows an example of an order waiting screen (standby phase) in the orderer's communication terminal. As shown in FIG. 11, since “1” is displayed as the waiting number Ws2 of the contractor, it is implied that the contractor currently supports the delivery of goods of other orderers. As shown in FIG. 11, in order to more clearly indicate that the product cannot be delivered immediately, for example, it is preferable to display a message M2 indicating that the product is being delivered to another orderer. By displaying such a flexible message or the like, it is possible to reduce an anxiety of the orderer that the waiting time is long.

  In step S210, the communication terminal 20 that has completed the order receiving process (S208) shifts to calculation of the optimum route. The optimum route search unit 212 calculates an optimum route from the position of the communication terminal 20 to the orderer's communication terminal 10 to be delivered next, for example, the shortest route, and displays it as a guidance screen so that the contractor can recognize it. This is displayed on the part 224 (S212). As an optimal route calculation method, any method using a known technique can be applied. As a simple method, based on the position information of the communication terminal 20 and the position information of the communication terminal 10, the shortest distance route connecting both terminals with a straight line can be set as the optimum route. Considering the arrangement of the seats, it is also possible to set a route along a passage provided between the seat blocks. When a plurality of routes from the communication terminal 20 to the communication terminal 10 can be considered, it is also possible to compare them with each other and calculate the shortest route as the optimum route.

  FIG. 12 shows an example of a guidance screen displayed on the display unit 224 of the communication terminal 20. In the example of FIG. 12, in addition to the contractor icon Ps, the position of the orderer waiting for delivery of the product is indicated by icons Pu1 to Pu3. A numerical value indicating the delivery order is displayed on the icon Pu of the orderer. In the example of FIG. 12, it is shown that the icons Pu1, Icon Pu2, and Icon Pu3 should be delivered in this order. Routes R1 to R3 are optimum routes searched by the optimum route search unit 212 in step S210. The contractor only needs to deliver the product according to the order and route displayed on the guidance screen. In the state shown in FIG. 12, the order waiting screen (delivery phase) as described with reference to FIG. 10 is displayed on the communication terminal 10 of the orderer of the delivery order No. 1 corresponding to the icon Pu1. Further, an order waiting screen (standby phase) similar to that shown in FIG. 11 is displayed on the communication terminal 10 of the ordering party after the delivery order No. 2 corresponding to the icons Pu2 and Pu3.

  As shown in step S134, while the order waiting screen is displayed, it is possible to change the order product (including changing the number of orders) and cancel the order. When the change of the ordered product is selected (S134: change), the process returns to the product selection in step S118. If cancellation of the ordered product is selected (S134: cancellation), the communication terminal 10 provides an order cancellation request to the communication terminal 20, and the process proceeds to the order cancellation processing in step S232.

  FIG. 15 shows an example of an order change / cancel screen on the communication terminal 10. As shown in FIG. 15, if the orderer selects the correction button Bm, it is possible to change the quantity entered in the quantity input field Pn at the time of ordering. If the quantity of the product is changed and change confirmation is selected, the order information with the changed quantity is generated and provided to the communication terminal 20 of the contractor, and the order contents are updated. In the example of FIG. 15, the order quantity of the product “Fries” has been changed from “0” at the time of ordering to “1”. If the cancel button Bc is selected, the order can be canceled.

  In step S232, the communication terminal 20 that has acquired the order cancellation request deletes the orderer from the delivery order list together with the order information of the orderer. Then, returning to step S210, the optimum route search unit 212 recalculates the optimum route to the orderer registered in the delivery order list excluding the orderer who canceled the order. Further, the communication terminal 20 provides the communication terminal 10 with an order cancellation approval indicating that the order cancellation request has been accepted. In step S <b> 148, the communication terminal 10 that has obtained the order cancellation approval displays a cancellation completion notification on the display unit 124.

(On-site display)
In step S136 and step S214, each of the communication terminal 20 of the contractor who is delivering the product and the communication terminal 10 of the orderer who waits for the delivery of the product from the contractor (orderer of the delivery order 1), The distance is measured regularly. Specifically, the on-site display unit 112 of the communication terminal 10 acquires position information from the communication terminal 20 through ad hoc communication or mobile communication, and uses its communication terminal 10 by using a connection to a wireless sign, a GPS function, or the like. Is obtained, the distance between both terminals is calculated, and it is determined whether the distance between both terminals meets a predetermined condition (S136). Further, the on-site display unit 214 of the communication terminal 20 acquires position information from the communication terminal 10 by ad hoc communication or mobile communication, and uses the connection to a radio beacon, the GPS function, or the like to detect the position information of its own communication terminal 20. And the distance between both terminals is calculated, and it is determined whether the distance between both terminals meets a predetermined condition (S212). When the distance between the two terminals meets a predetermined condition, the communication terminal 10 proceeds to step S138 and step S140, and the communication terminal 20 proceeds to step S216. Note that the predetermined condition is that in ad hoc communication, the communication terminal of the other party has approached a single hop zone, and the distance between both terminals has approached a close distance (5 to 10 m, etc.).

  In step S138, the communication terminal 10 notifies the orderer that the predetermined condition is met. This process is an optional function, and in the present embodiment, it is executed only by the communication terminal 10 on the orderer side. The contractor recognizes that the delivery of goods is a business and is approaching the orderer without notifying it, but the orderer recognizes that the contractor is approaching by referring to the order waiting screen. Although it is possible to focus on watching games such as baseball in principle, it is sufficient if it can be recognized when the goods arrive.

  In step S140 and step S216, when the predetermined conditions are met, both terminals drive their own photographing units to photograph the user. Specifically, in the communication terminal 10, the photographing unit 126 is activated in the self-shooting mode, the orderer who is the user is photographed, and the photographed image of the orderer is provided to the communication terminal 20 serving as the communication partner as image data. In the communication terminal 20, when image data is provided from the communication terminal 10 that is a communication partner, the provided image is presented on the display unit 224 so that the contractor can recognize it. This image may be a still image or a moving image.

  On the other hand, in the communication terminal 20, the photographing unit 226 is activated in the self-portrait mode to photograph the contractor who is the user, and the captured image of the contractor is provided as image data to the communication terminal 10 serving as the communication partner. In the communication terminal 10, when image data is provided from the communication terminal 20 that is a communication partner, the provided image is presented on the display unit 124 so that the orderer can recognize it. This image may be a still image or a moving image.

  FIG. 13 shows an example of an on-site shooting screen on the orderer's communication terminal 10. As shown in FIG. 13, an image Igs obtained by self-taking the contractor in the communication terminal 20 is displayed on the display unit 124 of the communication terminal 10 operated by the orderer. Since this image Igs is a photograph of the appearance of the contractor who is currently on the spot, the orderer can refer to the image Igs displayed on the display unit 124 to easily identify the contractor who is approaching a visible distance. And can be identified reliably. The orderer may be provided with the orderer's face image when the orderer's search condition is selected (S102).
