The registered user 50 can also remotely access the instruction classroom 30 as a content provider and participate in a remote class. At that time, by providing the instruction device, it is possible to obtain detailed instructions that could not be performed in a normal remote lesson.

[User Registration, Correction, and Deletion Procedures] FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining the procedure for registering, correcting, and deleting user information in the present embodiment.

A user who wishes to register a user (guidance classroom, advertiser, registered user) accesses the server 21 operated by the service provider 20 via the network 10 (s10).
1). The server 21 determines whether or not the user who wants to register is accessing via the above-mentioned communication device (32, 42, 52) (s102). The access method is determined by the ID of the communication device sent when the server is accessed.
To the database 213 managed by the service provider 20
This is done by collating with The transmitted personal information such as ID and password is encrypted to prevent leakage to the outside.

The case where the server 21 is accessed via the communication device will be described.

If it is determined that the access is made via the communication device, a password required for the next access is set (s103, s104). This password can be stored in the communication device, or can be entered every time the device is accessed. Subsequently, the user name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, and the like, which are user information, are registered (s105), and a method of paying a fee generated when using the paid service in this service is selected (s1).
06). As a payment method, besides debit from an account of a bank or the like, a bill can be added to a public utility charge such as a telephone charge and an electric charge.

When the above input of user information is completed, a registration content confirmation screen is displayed. After confirming that there is no mistake in the content of the user registration applicant (s107), the database 213 of the server 21 operated by the service provider is displayed. Is stored as user information (s108).

The above is the procedure for registering the user information via the communication device.

Next, the server 21 is used without using the communication device.
The case of accessing is described.

When the server 21 determines that the access is made without the intervention of the communication device, it first requests the user to register an ID (s109, s110). Next, the server 21
It is checked whether the ID designated by the user is used by another user (s111), and if not, a password registration request is made (s104). If the desired account has already been used, the user is informed that the account has been used, and ID registration is requested again (s110). The steps after the password registration are the same as those through the communication device described above.

Next, the change of the registered user information will be described.

The user requests registration correction (s112).
Then, the ID and the password are requested from the server 21 of the service provider 20. Of course, when the communication device is used, no input is required or only the password is input (s113). There is an error in the input information (s11
4, 116), and the user is notified of this, and an input request is made again after a predetermined time. When the authentication is completed on the server 21 side, the already registered user information is displayed, and any part can be corrected (s115). When the modification is completed, a confirmation screen for the content of the modification is displayed. After confirmation, the content of the database 213 is rewritten (s107, s1).
08).

Subsequently, to delete the registered user information, the user makes a request for deleting the registered information (s11).
7), when authentication is completed after the same procedure as in the case of registration correction (s118, s119, s116), a deletion confirmation screen is displayed and it is confirmed whether or not data is to be deleted again (s120), and the user deletes the data. When the request is issued, the information is deleted from the database 213 of the server 21 (s12
1) When the deletion is canceled, the information on the database 213 is left as it is (s122).

The above is the flow from registration of user information to modification and deletion.

[Procedure of Content Registration, Correction, and Deletion] FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the procedure of content registration, correction, and deletion in the present embodiment.

When the instruction classroom 30 that has completed user registration accesses the server 21 via the communication device 32, authentication is performed between the server 21 and the communication device 32 (s).
201, s202). When the password is not stored in the communication device, the password is input after the server 21 requests the password input. When the server 21 is accessed without using a communication device, the server 21
, An ID and a password are requested, and when each is entered (s203), authentication is performed. If the authentication has failed, the server 21 notifies that fact.

After the authentication is completed, the instruction classroom 30 selects whether to register the content for the first time, to modify the previously registered content, or to delete the previously registered content (s204, s205, s206) (accessed for the first time). If there is no content data,
Proceed to the new registration procedure without making a selection). Hereinafter, three cases of new registration, registration information correction, and registration information deletion will be described.

First, the case of new registration will be described.

The instruction classroom 30 registers the content prepared in advance in the server 21 of the service provider 20 (s20).
7, s208). When the registration of the content is completed, information on the content, for example, the content of the content, a method of contacting the guidance classroom 30, additional information such as event holding information, and physical information such as the capacity of the content are stored. It is registered (s209).

When the above registration is completed, confirmation of the contents is requested from the server 21 of the service provider 20 (s21).
0) If there is no mistake in the content, a content ID assigned to each content is assigned from the server 21, and the registration is completed (s211).

If the content cannot be produced,
It is also possible to make a content production request to the service provider (s212, s213). At that time, the service provider recruits content creators at the site providing the service and produces the content. When the content creator is determined, the fact is notified to the instruction classroom 30 side, and the content is produced. The content produced in this manner is stored in the server 21 of the service provider 20 by the same procedure.

Next, a description will be given of a procedure for modifying already registered contents.

The input of the content ID is requested from the server 21 (s214), and the desired content ID is input or the registered content of the person is displayed, and the content to be corrected is selected by selecting the content to be corrected. select. When the content is displayed, the content is corrected (s215), and after the content confirmation request (s216) from the server 21, if there is no mistake in the content, the correction is terminated and the content in the database of the server 21 is rewritten. If the content is incorrect, correct it again.

Next, a procedure for deleting registered contents will be described.

In the same manner as in the case of the content modification, after the desired content is selected (s217), it is confirmed whether or not the content is to be deleted again from the server 21 (s218). Then, the deletion is executed, and the corresponding content is deleted from the database of the server 21. (S219).

The above is the procedure for registering, modifying, and deleting content.

In the following description, the authentication method for accessing the server 21 operated by the service provider 20 via the communication devices 32, 42, and 52 is the same as the authentication method when the connection is not made. Therefore, the description is omitted.

[Advertisement Registration, Correction, and Deletion Procedures] FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing advertisement registration, correction, and deletion procedures in the present embodiment.

First, in the case of new registration (s301, s3
02) will be described.

The advertiser 40 selects the desired content by searching for the content ID of the content that the advertiser wants to place an advertisement on (s303). At this time, a plurality of contents may be selected. Next, the place and size of the advertisement are determined (s304), and the advertisement is registered (s305). When registering an advertisement, an advertisement prepared by the advertiser 40 may be posted in advance, and when it is difficult to create an advertisement, the service provider 20 can be requested to create an advertisement ( s308, s309). The procedure from an advertisement production request to production is the same as in the case of content registration.

When an advertisement registration command is sent to the server 21 side,
The server 21 requests the server 21 to confirm the registered contents (s306). If there is no error in the described contents, the server 21 stores the advertisement data. At this time, advertiser information is also accumulated. When the registration is completed, the advertiser I is sent from the server 21 of the service provider 20.
D is given (s307), and the registration ends.

Next, a procedure for correcting and deleting registered advertisement information will be described.

When the advertiser 40 requests correction or deletion of advertisement information (s310, s314), the server 21 inquires of the ID of the advertisement information to be corrected or deleted, or a list (information registered by the advertiser so far). Request selection of desired information from the list) (s311 and s3)
15). After selecting the advertising information, if you want to correct the information,
The information is corrected as it is (s312), and after the contents of the correction are confirmed (s313), the data on the database of the server 21 is updated. In the case of deletion, after confirming again (s
316), the corresponding advertisement information is deleted from the database of the server 21 (s317).

The above is the procedure for registering, modifying, and deleting advertisement information.

[Guidance Classroom Content Browsing Procedure] FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a guidance classroom content browsing procedure in this embodiment.

Search for desired contents (s401)
Methods include keyword, genre classification, content I
There is a search by D (s402, s403, s40
4). When the content to be browsed is determined, the content is distributed from the server 21 and displayed. At the same time, an advertisement related to the content distributed in the advertisement registered in the server 21, for example, in the case of the content related to the ikebana class, the advertisement handling the ikebana set or flower is handled in the content in the case of the content related to the cooking class. Advertisements dealing with foodstuffs and utensils are also distributed and displayed. The advertisement which is not related to the distributed content is distributed and displayed before the content is displayed (s405, s406).

[Related Product Sales Flow] FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a procedure for selling related products in the present embodiment.

When the content viewer, that is, the registered user 50 desires to purchase a product in the advertisement (s501), a product purchase command is first sent to the server 21 of the service provider 20. When the product purchase request reaches the server 21, a product list is displayed on the terminal of the purchase applicant (s502). The purchaser selects a desired product from among them (s503), displays detailed information of the product (s504), and issues a purchase command if the user really wants to purchase (s505).

The service provider 20 receiving the purchase order
Server 21 informs the server 41 of the advertiser 40 that there is a product purchase request. Advertiser 4 who received a product purchase request
The 0 server 41 checks the stock, and if there is a product, inquires the purchaser about the desired delivery date and delivery location.

These answers are again sent to the server 4 of the advertiser 40.
After returning to 1, the user is allowed to select a payment method according to the fee payment method described in the user registration (s506),
Inform buyers that they will be charged. Information about the last product to be purchased, such as product name, price, delivery date,
After displaying the delivery place and the like and confirming that there is no misunderstanding (s507), the communication device 52 of the registered user 50, the database 213 of the service provider 20, and the advertiser 4
0 is stored in the database 413. If there is no communication device, no data is stored on the registered user 50 side, and the contents can be confirmed any number of times by accessing the server 21 of the service provider 20.

When the order is completed, the advertiser 40 sends out the product according to the order data. Here, the merchandise is not sent directly to the registered user 50 but sent via the service provider 20. This is performed in order to prevent the product from not being delivered even after the payment. When the goods arrive, the service provider 20 charges the registered user 50 and ships the goods. At this time, a billing notice is sent to the purchaser and a product shipping notice is sent to the advertiser.

When the fee is collected by the fee payment method designated by the registered user 50, the collected money minus the fee is sent to the advertiser 40 side.

The above is the procedure for selling the product related to the instruction classroom contents.

[Online Instruction Classroom Attendance Flow] FIG.
5 is a flowchart showing a procedure for taking a remote class in real time in the present embodiment.

When the registered user 50 desires to experience the content (class) being viewed, a request to participate in the online instruction classroom is sent to the server 2 of the service provider 20.
1 (s601). The server 21 of the service provider 20 that has received the request inquires of the guidance classroom 30 (s60).
2) If the classroom is in operation, a notice of possible participation is sent (s60
3) If the classroom has already ended, the next held date and time is notified to the registered user 50 (s604, s60).
5, s606, s607).

After receiving the notification, the registered user 50 agrees to pay the online tutoring class participation fee (s608).
It is possible to participate in the online instruction class (s6
09, s610, s611). In order to participate, you must have a camera for capturing images and a microphone for talking.

The above is the procedure for taking a remote lesson in real time.

Next, communication between the instruction classroom and the registered user using the instruction device and the operation device will be described with reference to FIG.

A problem when communicating remotely is communication of intention. For example, if you participate in an ikebana lesson, which branch should you cut out of many branches?
It is difficult to indicate only by words how long the stem should be cut. In addition, it is almost impossible to prepare a branch having the same structure and the same stem length in the instruction classroom.

Therefore, the above-described remote controllable pointing device 51 and operating device 31 are used. When the teacher of the guidance classroom 30 asks the registered user 50 which stem should be cut, the teacher sends the operation device 31 to the registered user 50 by the image of the registered user 50 displayed on the screen 33. By operating a certain pointing device 51 so as to indicate a predetermined place, it is possible to indicate a desired place, and to reply to the registered user 50 in a simplified expression using a pronoun such as “here”.

Since the registered user side also visually indicates the location of the object by the pointing device 51, similarly, the teacher confirms with the teacher using a simplified expression using a pronoun such as "here". be able to.

In this way, it is possible to realize a smooth communication as if you are right away, even if you are in a remote place.

As described above, the use of the present instruction device 51 and the operation device 31 enables detailed instructions to be made in a very easy expression, thereby enabling smooth communication.

Next, a case where there are a plurality of registered users will be described with reference to FIG.

When the registered user participates in the online instruction class, the participant sensing system 3 placed on the instruction class 30 side
4 is activated to indicate that there is a participant. The participant sensing system 34 includes, for example, several miniature bulbs and LEDs.
When a participant is detected, one of them flashes or lights up to notify the presence or absence of the participant. Of course, if the presence or absence of a participant can be communicated, a light emitter such as a miniature light bulb or an LED may not be used.

Although the participant can participate anonymously, it is also possible to display a nickname such as a handle name used in chat or the like on the present system.
By the participant sensing system 34, on the guidance classroom 30 side,
You can know how many people are currently participating in the online tutoring class.

During the lesson, the demonstration video, audio, and text of the teacher in the classroom or the guidance classroom are transmitted to all participants. When the questioner appears, the video, audio, and text of the questioner are transmitted to all participants. That is, when a lecture is being given, the state of the questioner is reported to all participants by means of video, audio, text, etc. when the questioner appears. By such means, the registered user participating in the online instruction class can not only browse the class but also browse what other people have asked, thereby improving the guidance efficiency.

When the participant wants to ask a question, a speech button provided on the pointing device or the remote control (to be described later)
To inform the guidance classroom 30 of the intention to make a statement. Then, on the guidance classroom 30 side, the display unit that displays the received video displays that there is a question, and the video of the interrogator is displayed on the display unit that has previously displayed the class. Also, the participant's part of the participant detection system 34 blinks or blinks in a color different from the blinking color upon detecting participation, and notifies the classroom that there is a question. In this way, when receiving the question, there is a one-to-one connection between the classroom and the questioner,
Ask questions. These images are transmitted to all participants.

As described above, the questioner and the instruction classroom are connected one-to-one, and the other participants view the state of this question in video, audio,
By receiving in text, it is possible to take classes as if they were actually in a guidance classroom.

Next, the pointing device and the operating device are shown in FIG.
3 will be described in detail.

The operation device 31 and the communication device 32, and the instruction device 51 and the communication device 52 are connected by a wireless communication function such as Bluetooth. The operation device 31 is placed in the instruction classroom 30, and the instruction device 51 participates in the online instruction classroom. Are connected to each other through a network 10.

The operation device 31 includes a cross key 311 for moving the position of the pointer displayed on the screen and the trackball 3.
12 and an OK button 313 for deciding the position of the pointer, and a control device and a storage device (built-in body) for input / output management of signals and various controls. By pointing to the place and pressing the enter button 313, it is possible to point to the same place displayed on the screen.

The pointing device 51 includes a pointing unit 511 composed of a laser pointer and the like, and a utterance button 5 used when asking a question or the like.
12, a remote control light-receiving unit 514 for receiving a signal from an attached remote controller 513, a camera for capturing an image, a control device for controlling a camera and an instruction unit, and a shape of a place where the instruction unit is placed. And a map creating device (both are built in the main body) for creating.

The direction of the pointing unit 511 is operated by the operating device 31, and the direction of the camera is controlled by the remote controller 51 attached to the pointing device 51.
3 and the operation device 31 can be operated.

The pointing device 51 maps the state of the room in which the pointing device 51 is used at the time of activation, and creates a simple map. Furthermore, by detecting a human face by combining color detection and ellipse detection, its shape is stored,
It has a function to prevent the light emitted from the instructing unit 511 from hitting the user's face by always detecting it.

Next, when the registered user purchases a product from the advertiser or uses the online instruction classroom, the fee charged by the registered user at the time of the user registration is determined by a public charge such as a telephone charge and an electricity charge. A charging / collecting method in the case where payment is made in conjunction with is described with reference to FIG.

The registered user's fee information is stored on a server managed by the service provider, and the stored information is sent to a public service server designated by the registered user on a fixed day, for example, every month. Sent as The public company that has received the fee information bills the registered user according to the method specified by the public company and collects it from the registered user.

The collected fee is transmitted from the server of the public service provider to the server of the service provider, and the server of the service provider receiving the information instructs the remaining amount after deducting the commission in accordance with a prescribed distribution rate. Send money to classrooms and advertisers.

As described above, by collecting and collecting the usage fee together with the utility fee, the registered user can pay the fee without providing information such as credit card number information that is not desired to be transmitted on the network. In addition, since the collection is performed together with the utility bill for the instruction classroom and the advertiser, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the collection is impossible, and the transaction can be performed with confidence.
