Setting-information creating apparatus, setting-information creating method, information output system, and computer product

A setting-information creating method 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 setting-information creating method comprising:

• 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;
• and
• 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.

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;
• and
• 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.

An information output system comprising an information terminal device that outputs information concerning goods within a site, based on transmitter information transmitted from a transmitter installed at each point within the site, and a server device that manages the information terminal device, wherein

• the server device comprising:
• a goods-layout-setting storage unit that stores therein 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;
• an output-information-setting storage unit that stores therein output-information setting information indicating a correspondence the transmitter information and the goods information;
• a setting-information creating unit that obtains a first goods information corresponding to an optional position within the site assigned by a user, based on the goods-layout-setting information, obtains a second goods information corresponding to an optional transmitter assigned by the user, based on the output-information setting information, and creates 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
• a setting-information transmitting unit that transmits the goods-layout setting information, the output-information setting information, and the transmitter-position setting information to the information terminal device, and
• the information terminal device comprising:
• a setting-information receiving unit that receives the goods-layout setting information, the output-information setting information, and the transmitter-position setting information transmitted from the server device;
• and
• a goods-relevant-information output unit that outputs information concerning goods within the site, based on the goods-layout setting information, the output-information setting information, and the transmitter-position setting information received by the setting-information receiving unit, when the goods-relevant-information output unit receives the transmitter information transmitted from the transmitter.

An information terminal device for outputting information concerning goods within a site, based on transmitter information transmitted from a transmitter installed at each point within the site, the information terminal device comprising:

• a goods-layout-setting storage unit that stores therein 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;
• an output-information-setting storage unit that stores therein output-information setting information indicating a correspondence the transmitter information and the goods information;
• a setting-information creating unit that obtains a first goods information corresponding to an optional position within the site assigned by a user, based on the goods-layout-setting information, obtains a second goods information corresponding to an optional transmitter assigned by the user, based on the output-information setting information, and creates 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
• a goods-relevant-information output unit that outputs information concerning goods within the site, based on the goods-layout setting information, the output-information setting information, and the transmitter-position setting information, upon reception of the transmitter information transmitted from the transmitter.
