Setting-information creating apparatus, setting-information creating method, information output system, and computer product
View Patent ↗In a cart terminal device, a goods-layout-information storage unit stores goods layout information, having information indicating a layout region within a shop related to a goods classification indicating goods laid out in the layout region, and a contents-position-information storage unit stores contents position information, having a transmitter number related to the goods classification. When a user assigns an optional position and an optional transmitter within the shop, a transmitter-position-information creating unit obtains a goods classification corresponding to the position by referencing the goods layout information, and obtains a goods classification corresponding to the transmitter by referencing the contents position information. When the obtained goods classifications coincide with each other, the transmitter-position-information creating unit creates transmitter position information, having position information related to a transmitter number for identifying the transmitter.

when the position and the transmitter are assigned by the user based on the goods-layout information output to the display device, obtaining a third goods information corresponding to the position assigned by the user and a fourth goods information corresponding to the transmitter assigned by the user, and creating transmitter-position setting information indicating a correspondence between the position information identifying the position and the transmitter information identifying the transmitter, when the third and fourth goods information coincide with each other.
4. The setting-information creating method according to claim 3 , wherein when the second goods information corresponding to the transmitter assigned by the user is not included in the output-information setting information, obtaining the first goods information corresponding to the position assigned by the user, based on the goods-layout setting information, and storing the output-information setting information indicating a correspondence between the first goods information and the transmitter information for identifying the transmitter assigned by the user.
5. A computer-readable recording medium that stores therein a computer program for creating setting information to be set to an information terminal device that outputs information relevant to goods within a site based on transmitter information transmitted from a transmitter installed at each point within the site, the computer program causing the computer to execute:
storing goods-layout setting information indicating a correspondence between region information specifying a region within the site and goods information specifying goods laid out in the region;
storing output-information setting information indicating a correspondence between the transmitter information and the goods information;
obtaining a first goods information corresponding to an optional position within the site assigned by a user, based on the goods-layout-setting information;
obtaining a second goods information corresponding to an optional transmitter assigned by the user, based on the output-information setting information;
creating transmitter-position setting information representing a predetermined correspondence between the position information for identifying the position assigned by the user and the transmitter information for identifying the transmitter assigned by the user, when the obtained first and second goods information coincide with each other; and
outputting goods-layout information indicating a correspondence between the region within the site and the goods information identifying the goods laid out in the region, to a display device, wherein
