JP7620331B2 - BROADCAST DATA GENERATION SYSTEM, BROADCAST DATA GENERATION METHOD, AND BROADCAST DATA GENERATION PROGRAM - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a broadcast data generation system, a broadcast data generation method, and a broadcast data generation program.

Conventionally, public transportation systems have delivered audio and video advertisements. However, these advertisements tend to be monotonous and deliver messages that are of little value to passengers (local residents). Examples of systems that solve this problem are proposed in, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2.

Patent Document 1 discloses a technology in which database 142 is composed of an advertising area database 501 that stores information on areas available for advertising, an operation database 502 that stores the passing areas and passing time information of mobile stations such as route buses that distribute advertising information, a tariff database 503 that stores advertising tariffs, an advertising information database 504 that stores reserved advertising information, and an advertising information distribution schedule database 505 that stores schedule information for distributing the reserved advertising information, and by selecting and inputting a desired advertising area and inputting the desired advertising time period and advertising information, central processing unit 143 rewrites the contents of database 142 so that the input advertising information is displayed in the desired time period, thereby reserving advertising information distribution, calculating advertising fees, and outputting them to input device 141.

Patent document 2 also discloses a technology in which a database has items for advertisement display conditions, and these display conditions are assumed to have two types: operating location and operating time, and the operating location can be set to any location desired by the advertiser, not just near a bus stop, and the operating time can be specified as a specific time period such as morning, afternoon, or all day, or a specific time of day, and the database created by a bus company or advertising agency is uploaded to a server system via the Internet, and advertisements that match the location information and time information and display conditions are displayed inside the bus.

A method for generating broadcast data will be described below with reference to Figures 4 to 9. Figure 4(a) is a diagram showing a processing flow from pre-processing for advertisement broadcasting to broadcasting advertisements inside the bus.

2.1. Advertisement Pre-broadcast Processing
First, in step S1 (hereinafter simply referred to as SXX), the reception unit 11 receives a GTFS from the manager terminal device 4 and registers operation information. In addition, in S2, the reception unit 11 receives guidance content data and guidance reading information from the manager terminal device 4. Then, the generation processing unit 12 generates guidance broadcast data based on the guidance content data and the guidance reading information, and registers it in the database 2.

<2.2. Advertising broadcast data registration process>
Next, in S3, the generation processing unit 12 generates and processes advertising broadcast data, and registers the advertising broadcast data. Fig. 4(b) is a diagram showing a processing flow related to the registration of advertising broadcast data. First, in S31, the display processing unit 14 receives a login request from a user, and displays a screen for receiving the designation of a bus stop section. Then, in S32, the advertisement reception unit 13 receives the designation of a bus stop section from the logged-in user.

Figure 5 is a diagram showing an example of a bus stop designation screen displayed on the user terminal device 3. In this embodiment, the bus stop designation screen W1 has a map display section W11, a bus stop designation section W12, and a browsing history display section W13.

The map display unit W11 displays a map based on location information around a preset location for a predetermined time after the user has logged in. After the predetermined time has elapsed, the map display unit W11 displays a map based on location information acquired by a location acquisition unit (not shown) of the user terminal device 3.

The map display unit W11 is also configured to allow selective input of bus stops and bus stop sections, and highlights and displays bus stops and bus stop sections based on the location information and the bus stop master stored in the database 2. The advertisement reception unit 13 then accepts selective input of a bus stop section or a bus stop on the map display unit W11, and accepts the designation of the bus stop section or the bus stop.

The bus stop designation unit W12 is configured to allow the selection and input of a bus stop. In this embodiment, the advertisement reception unit 13 accepts the designation of a bus stop by accepting keyword input such as a bus stop name or a specific place name in the bus stop designation unit W12. The bus stop designation unit W12 is also configured to allow the selection and input of an address, and displays one or more bus stops based on location information corresponding to the selected and input address. The advertisement reception unit 13 then accepts the selection and input of the displayed bus stop, thereby accepting the designation of the bus stop.

In this embodiment, when the bus stop designation unit W12 accepts a selected input of an address, the bus stop designation unit W12 displays nearby bus stops corresponding to the address and accepts the designation of the bus stop. On the other hand, when the bus stop designation unit W12 accepts a selected input of an address, the map display unit W11 may be displayed based on the position information corresponding to the address and the designation of the bus stop may be accepted in the map display unit W11.

The browsing history display unit W13 displays the bus stop name or bus stop section so that it can be selected and input based on the browsing history information of the user information. In this embodiment, the browsing history display unit W13 displays the bus stop section for each bus stop that is the end point of the endpoint of the bus stop section. The advertisement reception unit 13 then accepts the selection input of the bus stop section, thereby accepting the designation of the bus stop section.

Figure 6 is a diagram showing an example of a section designation screen that is displayed when a bus stop is specified on the bus stop designation screen W1. The section designation screen W2 displays a bus stop section that is linked to the bus stop specified on the bus stop designation screen W1. In this embodiment, one or more bus stop sections that have the bus stop specified on the bus stop designation screen W1 as the end point of the end point of the bus stop section are displayed so that they can be designated.

When the bus stop section is specified in S32, the broadcast reservation registration for the advertising slot that specifies the broadcast slot of the advertising broadcast data is then accepted (S33). FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a reservation registration screen that accepts the broadcast reservation registration of the advertising broadcast data. The reservation registration screen W3 has a section display section W31, a period designation section W32, and a slot designation section W33.

The section display unit W31 displays the bus stop section specified in S32. In this embodiment, the section display unit W31 is configured to allow selection input, and when selection input is received, the bus stop designation screen W1 is displayed so that the bus stop section can be updated.

The period designation unit W32 is configured to be able to accept input of the period during which advertising will be broadcast. In this embodiment, the period input in the period designation unit W32 is registered as advertising period information.

The slot designation unit W33 is configured to be able to accept a selection input of an advertising slot in which advertising will be broadcast. In this embodiment, the slot designation unit W33 displays an advertising slot for each time period so that it can be selected and input. The advertising reception unit 13 then accepts the designation of an advertising slot by accepting the designation of a time period. In this embodiment, the slot designation unit W33 also displays a time period to which advertising broadcast data is not linked so that it can be specified. In the illustrated example, advertising broadcast data is linked to the advertising slots for "9:00", "10:00", "17:00", and "18:00", and advertising slots other than the above time periods are displayed so that they can be specified.

As described above, once the advertising space is specified in S33, advertising broadcast data to be broadcast in the advertising space is then generated and registered (S34 to S36). First, in S34, the generation processing unit 12 determines whether or not an instruction to generate advertising broadcast data has been received. If an instruction to generate data has been received (YES in S34), the generation processing unit 12 generates the advertising broadcast data (S35). The generation processing unit 12 then registers the advertising broadcast data that has been generated (S36). Note that if an instruction to generate data has not been received (NO in S34), the generation processing unit 12 does not generate the advertising broadcast data and ends the process.

Figure 8 shows an example of an advertisement generation screen for generating advertising broadcast data. The advertisement generation screen W4 has a content reception section W41 and an adjustment section W42.

The content reception unit W41 is configured to be able to receive text data as advertising content data, and the advertising reception unit 13 receives and registers the text data received in the word text reception unit W41a or the string of text reception unit W41b as advertising content data.

The word text receiving unit W41a is configured to display template text data including specific text data as variable data and to be able to receive the variable data. The advertisement receiving unit 13 receives input of word text data as variable data, and receives a series of text data combining the template text data and the word text data as advertisement content data.

The series of text receiving unit W41b is configured to be able to receive a series of text data. The advertisement receiving unit 13 receives the series of text data as advertisement content data.

The adjustment unit W52 is configured to be able to accept advertisement reading information of the advertising content data accepted by the content acceptance unit W51. The advertisement acceptance unit 13 accepts and registers intonation, speech speed, voice pitch, and/or intonation as advertisement reading information in the adjustment unit W52. Then, when the generation processing unit 12 accepts an instruction to generate advertising broadcast data, it generates and processes the advertising broadcast data based on the advertising content data and the advertisement reading information, and registers it.

Figure 9 shows an example of a registered advertisement screen that displays registered advertising broadcast data. The registered advertisement screen W5 displays one or more pieces of advertising broadcast data that are registered in association with user information. Then, a selection input of any one of the advertising broadcast data is accepted, and the process proceeds to the next step.

In this embodiment, upon receiving text data, the generation processing unit 12 generates and processes advertising broadcast data, and the advertising broadcast data is registered. On the other hand, upon receiving audio data, the audio data may be registered as advertising broadcast data.

2.3. Advertising Broadcast Processing
When the advertising broadcast data registration process is completed, in S4 the generation processing unit 12 acquires the advertising broadcast data that was registered and selected and input in S3 and the announcement broadcast data for the bus stop section linked to the advertising broadcast data, and generates and registers broadcast data that continuously combines the advertising broadcast data and the announcement broadcast data.

Then, in S5, the distribution unit 15 distributes the broadcast data to the vehicle-mounted device 80, and the speaker 81 broadcasts the broadcast data. In this embodiment, the distribution unit 15 receives from the vehicle-mounted device 80 the management company ID of the vehicle-mounted device information and the latitude and longitude acquired by the position acquisition unit 804 of the vehicle-mounted device 80. The distribution unit 15 then identifies, from the broadcast data linked to the advertising space corresponding to the latitude and longitude and the management company ID, the broadcast data linked to the advertising period and advertising space time corresponding to the date and time information at which the latitude and longitude were received. The distribution unit 15 then distributes the broadcast data to the vehicle-mounted device 80 linked to the management company ID. The speaker 81 then receives the broadcast data and broadcasts it inside the bus.

By carrying out steps S1 to S5 above, advertising broadcast data is generated and the broadcast data is broadcast inside the bus.

In a more preferred embodiment, when there is an advertising space to which no advertising broadcast data is linked, the generation processing unit 12 may acquire announcement service broadcast data and generate broadcast data that combines the announcement service broadcast data to which the advertising space is linked and the operation broadcast data as the guidance broadcast data.

In this embodiment, if there is an advertising space to which no advertising broadcast data is linked, the generation processing unit 12 randomly acquires one piece of announcement service broadcast data from the announcement service broadcast data registered in the database 2. The generation processing unit 12 then generates broadcast data that combines the announcement service broadcast data and the operation broadcast data linked to the advertising space, and registers the broadcast data. In other words, if no advertising broadcast is linked to the advertising space, the operation broadcast and announcement service broadcast for the bus stop section corresponding to the advertising space will be broadcast in the advertising space.

In this embodiment, the generation processing unit 12 generates broadcast data by combining announcement service broadcast data and operation broadcast data, but it may also generate broadcast data by combining normal service broadcast and operation broadcast data in addition to the announcement service broadcast data.
This makes it possible to broadcast announcements related to business by utilizing advertisement frames for which no advertisement broadcast data has been registered by the user.

In this embodiment, the generation processing unit 12 acquires the announcement service broadcast data registered in the database 2 and generates the broadcast data, but it may also acquire audio data received from a user as announcement service broadcast data and generate the broadcast data.

<3. Administrator screen>
On the other hand, an administrator who manages broadcast data can manage advertisement broadcast data registered by users. Fig. 10 is a diagram showing an example of an administrator screen displayed on the administrator terminal device 4.

The administrator screen W6 displays information related to the advertisement space. In this embodiment, the administrator screen W6 displays the advertisement broadcast status based on the advertisement period of the advertisement broadcast data linked to the advertisement space. Specifically, the administrator screen W6 displays "waiting for distribution" as the advertisement broadcast status of the advertisement broadcast data having an advertisement period in which the current date and time is before the advertisement period, "distributing" as the advertisement broadcast status of the advertisement broadcast data having an advertisement period in which the current date and time is within the advertisement period, and "distributed" as the advertisement broadcast status of the advertisement broadcast data having an advertisement period in which the current date and time is after the advertisement period.
This allows the administrator to check the distribution status of the advertising broadcast data for each advertising space, and edit it as necessary.

According to the present invention, for example, if a user of a local retail store broadcasts a sale advertisement during a sale period, the advertisement can be made known to users using public transportation in real time. This can stimulate the purchasing desire of users who hear the advertisement, thereby improving sales at the retail store. In addition, not only retail stores but also bus companies can make profits by charging advertising fees from retail stores. In other words, by broadcasting valuable information in addition to the same old bus announcements, it is possible to revitalize the local area.
