Abstract

A service provision system includes an extraction unit that extracts an associated service corresponding to a user of a service provision apparatus from plural services of the service provision apparatus, a storage control unit that stores, in a storage unit, identification information for identifying a transmitter which is carried by the user and which transmits a wireless signal and information regarding the associated service while associating the identification information and the information regarding the associated service with each other, an obtaining unit that obtains the identification information included in the wireless signal transmitted without requiring the user to perform an operation, and a display control unit that receives, from the storage control unit, the associated service corresponding to the identification information obtained by the obtaining unit and that displays the associated service on a display unit of the service provision apparatus.

Claims (55)

1. A service provision system comprising:

a storage device; and

a processor coupled to the storage device and configured at least to:

obtain an identification information of a transmitter without requiring a user to perform an operation;

display a plurality of services of a service provision apparatus, wherein the plurality of services are initial services which are displayed regardless of the user;

store, in the storage device, the identification information for identifying the transmitter which is powered by a battery and is carried by the user and which transmits a wireless beacon signal and an associated service information which associates, per entry, the identification information, a user identification information obtained from a payment card, and an associated service with each other;

extract, based on the associated service information, an associated service in response to obtaining the identification information of the transmitter; and

display the associated service on a display panel of the service provision apparatus.

2. The service provision system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to extract the associated service from services used by the user in past on the service provision apparatus.

3. The service provision system according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to extract a service used by the user last e as the associated service.

4. The service provision system according to claim 3 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to extract a service most used by the user as the associated service.

5. The service provision system according to claim 4 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to control the display panel to display both the associated service and the initial service on the display unit in a distinguishable manner.

6. The service provision system according to claim 5 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to superimpose the associated service smaller than the initial service upon the initial service.

7. The service provision system according to claim 3 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to control the display panel to display both the associated service and the initial service on the display unit in a distinguishable manner.

8. The service provision system according to claim 7 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to superimpose the associated service smaller than the initial service upon the initial service.

9. The service provision system according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to extract a service most used by the user as the associated service.

10. The service provision system according to claim 9 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to control the display panel to display both the associated service and the initial service on the display unit in a distinguishable manner.

11. The service provision system according to claim 10 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to superimpose the associated service smaller than the initial service upon the initial service.

12. The service provision system according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to control the display panel to display both the associated service and the initial service on the display unit in a distinguishable manner.

13. The service provision system according to claim 12 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to superimpose the associated service smaller than the initial service upon the initial service.

14. The service provision system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the plurality of services includes an initial service displayed first on the display unit regardless of the user, and

wherein the processor is further configured to control the display panel to display both the associated service and the initial service on the display unit in a distinguishable manner.

15. The service provision system according to claim 14 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to superimpose the associated service smaller than the initial service upon the initial service.

16. The service provision system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to enable the user to switch between the associated service and the initial service through a single operation.

17. The service provision system according to claim 1 ,

wherein, if the identification information obtained by the obtaining unit is new and there is no associated service corresponding to the identification information, the processor is further configured to display the initial service on the display unit.

18. The service provision system of claim 1 , wherein the wireless beacon signal is transmitted by the transmitter periodically, and the transmitter further transmits the identification information until the battery runs out as long as the battery is connected.

19. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program that is used for a service provision system, which includes a service provision apparatus including a plurality of services, and that causes a computer comprising a storage device and a processor which executes functions comprising:

obtaining an identification information of a transmitter without requiring a user to perform an operation;

displaying the plurality of services of the service provision apparatus, wherein the plurality of services are initial services which are displayed regardless of the user;

storing, in the storage device, the identification information for identifying the transmitter which is powered by a battery and is carried by the user and which transmits a wireless beacon signal and an associated service information which associates, per entry, the identification information, a user identification information obtained from a payment card, and an associated service with each other;

extracting, based on the associated service information, an associated service in response to obtaining the identification information of the transmitter; and

displaying the associated service on a display panel of the service provision apparatus.

20. A service provision system comprising:

a service provision apparatus including

obtaining means for obtaining an identification information of a transmitter without requiring a user to perform an operation;

display means for displaying a plurality of services of the service provision means, wherein the plurality of services are initial services which are displayed regardless of the user;

storage control means for storing, in storage means, the identification information for identifying transmission means which is powered by a battery and is carried by the user and which transmits a wireless beacon signal and an associated service information which associates, per entry, the identification information, a user identification information obtained from a payment card and an associated service with each other;

extracting means to extract, based on the associated service information, an associated service in response to obtaining the identification information of the transmitter; and

the display means further displaying the associated service on the display means of the service provision means.
