Abstract

An output-history storing unit stores product information output to a terminal device as output history for each terminal device. A purchasing-history storing unit stores purchase information for identifying a product purchased by a user as purchasing history for each user. A verifying unit collates the output history stored in the output-history storing unit with the purchasing history stored in the purchasing-history storing unit, and verifies an effect of the product information.

Claims

1. An information output system that outputs product information related to a product in a store to a terminal device moving with a user based on a location of the terminal device, the information output system comprising:

an output-history storing unit that stores the product information output to the terminal device as output history for each terminal device;

a purchasing-history storing unit that stores purchase information for identifying a product purchased by the user as purchasing history for each user; and

a verifying unit that collates the output history stored in the output-history storing unit with the purchasing history stored in the purchasing-history storing unit, and verifies an effect of the product information based on a result of the collation.

2. The information output system according to claim 1, wherein

the output-history storing unit further stores first date and time of outputting the product information,

the purchasing-history storing unit further stores second data and time of the user purchasing the product, and

the verifying unit further collates the first date and time with the second date and time, and verifies the effect of the product information based on a result of the further collation.

3. The information output system according to claim 1, further comprising:

a purchase-related-information storing unit that stores at least one of product loading information indicating putting of a product into a product carrier in which the terminal device is installed and product canceling information indicating canceling of a product put in the product carrier, wherein

the verifying unit further collates the output history with the at least one of the product loading information and the product canceling information, and verifies the effect of the product information based on the further collation.

4. The information output system according to claim 3, further comprising:

a purchase-related-information acquiring unit that acquires the at least one of the product loading information and the product canceling information, wherein

the purchase-related-information storing unit stores the at least one of the product loading information and the product canceling information acquired by the purchase-related-information acquiring unit.

5. The information output system according to claim 1, further comprising:

a server device to which a plurality of the terminal devices is connected, wherein

the verifying unit is installed in the server device.

6. A method of outputting product information related to a product in a store to a terminal device moving with a user based on a location of the terminal device, the method comprising:

output-history storing including

storing the product information output to the terminal device as output history for each terminal device;

purchasing-history storing including

storing purchase information for identifying a product purchased by the user as purchasing history for each user; and

effect verifying including

collating the output history stored at the output-history storing with the purchasing-history stored at the purchasing history storing; and

verifying an effect of the product information based on a result of the collation.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein

the output-history storing includes further storing first date and time of outputting the product information,

the purchasing-history storing includes further storing second data and time of the user purchasing the product, and

the effect verifying includes

further collating the first date and time with the second date and time;

and

further verifying the effect of the product information based on the further collation.

8. The method according to claim 6, further comprising:

purchase-related-information storing including

storing at least one of product loading information indicating putting of a product into a product carrier in which the terminal device is installed and product canceling information indicating canceling of a product put in the product carrier, wherein

the verifying includes

further collating the output history with the at least one of the product loading information and the product canceling information; and

further verifying the effect of the product information based on the further collation.

9. The method according to claim 8, further comprising:

acquiring the at least one of the product loading information and the product canceling information, wherein

the purchase-related-information storing includes

storing the at least one of the product loading information and the product canceling information acquired at the acquiring.

10. A computer-readable recording medium that stores a computer program for outputting product information related to a product in a store to a terminal device moving with a user based on a location of the terminal device, wherein the computer program causes a computer to execute:

output-history storing including

storing the product information output to the terminal device as output history for each terminal device;

purchasing-history storing including

storing purchase information for identifying a product purchased by the user as purchasing history for each user; and

effect verifying including

collating the output history stored at the output-history storing with the purchasing-history stored at the purchasing history storing; and

verifying an effect of the product information based on a result of the collation.

11. The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 10, wherein

the output-history storing includes further storing first date and time of outputting the product information,

the purchasing-history storing includes further storing second data and time of the user purchasing the product, and

the effect verifying includes

further collating the first date and time with the second date and time;

and

further verifying the effect of the product information based on the further collation.

12. The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 10, wherein

the computer program further causes the computer to execute purchase-related-information storing including storing at least one of product loading information indicating putting of a product into a product carrier in which the terminal device is installed and product canceling information indicating canceling of a product put in the product carrier, and

the verifying includes

further collating the output history with the at least one of the product loading information and the product canceling information;

and

further verifying the effect of the product information based on the further collation.

13. The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 12, wherein

the computer program further causes the computer to execute acquiring the at least one of the product loading information and the product canceling information, and

the purchase-related-information storing includes storing the at least one of the product loading information and the product canceling information acquired at the acquiring.
