Abstract

The present invention is to provide system and method for collecting and analyzing user information. The system comprises an information carrier, for carrying information; a mobile terminal, comprising an information reading apparatus for reading information on the information carrier; and an ID storing device for storing the ID of the mobile terminal; a communication network; and an information server which receives the information on the information carrier and the ID of the mobile terminal from the mobile terminal through the communication network, and performs a statistics and analysis thereon. The present invention can achieve real-time and continuous information collection and analysis, and may also push advertisement information to users based on the collection and analysis of the information instantly or conditionally.

Claims

1. A system for collecting and analyzing user information, comprising:

an information carrier, for carrying information;

a mobile terminal, comprising;

an information reading apparatus for reading information on the information carrier, and

an ID storing device for storing the ID of the mobile terminal;

a communication network; and

an information server which receives the information on the information carrier and the ID of the mobile terminal from the mobile terminal through the communication network, and performs a statistics and analysis thereon.

2. The system of claim 1, further comprising an advertisement server, which receives the ID of the mobile terminal from the information server and transmits advertisement information to the mobile terminal through the communication network, the advertisement server comprising:

an storing device for storing the advertisement information and the ID;

an associating apparatus for associating the ID and the advertisement information according to a condition; and

a transmitting apparatus for pushing the advertisement information to the mobile terminal through the communication network according to the associated ID and the advertisement information.

3. The system of claim 2, further comprising an information terminal which requests that the information server transmits the statistics and analysis result to the information terminal and controls the information server and the advertisement server.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the ID of the mobile terminal is selected from a group consisting of mobile terminal number, mobile terminal model and the combination thereof.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the information reading apparatus includes a non-contact automatic identifying apparatus, which is selected from a group consisting of a digital camera, a barcode identifying device and a RFID identifying device.

6. A method for collecting and analyzing user information, comprising:

a mobile terminal reading information on an information carrier;

the mobile terminal transmitting the read information and its ID to an information server through a communication network; and

the information server performing a statistics and analysis on the information on the information carrier and the ID of the mobile terminal received.

7. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

the information server transmitting the ID of the mobile terminal to an advertisement server;

the advertisement server associating the ID and advertisement information; and

pushing the advertisement information to the mobile terminal through the communication network according to the associated ID and advertisement information.

8. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

an information terminal requesting that the information server transmits the statistics and analysis result to the information terminal, and controlling the information server and the advertisement server.

9. The method of claim 6, wherein the ID of the mobile terminal is selected from a group consisting of mobile terminal number, mobile terminal model and the combination thereof.

10. The method of claim 6, wherein the information reading apparatus includes a non-contact and automatic identifying apparatus which is selected from a group consisting of a digital camera, a barcode identifying device and a RFID identifying device.
