  • Patent number: 11715071
    Abstract: A wrist terminal includes a communicator, timer, and at least one processor. The communicator receives a beacon ID transmitted from a beacon transmitter installed in a workplace. The timer obtains date-and-time information on a date and time at which the communicator receives the beacon ID. The processor performs a determining process and recording process. In the determining process, the processor determines whether a work status in the workplace is a work start or a work end, based on a state of the wrist terminal when the communicator receives the beacon ID. In the recording process, the processor records, in a storage, log information that includes the date-and-time information obtained by the timer and work status information on the work status determined in the determining process, the date-and-time information and the work status information being associated with each other.

  • Patent number: 10846741
    Abstract: An advertisement creating device includes a display controller for displaying an advertisement on a display screen as a display sample. A selector selects a display candidate to be displayed in response to a switching operation received by a receiver as a post-switching display sample from a plurality of display candidates in accordance with a predetermined priority order determined using a two-dimensional array. The two-dimensional array has a first plurality of display candidates having different display styles for a first display mode in a first axis direction and a second plurality of display candidates having different display styles for a second display mode in a second axis direction. The selector selects an adjacent candidate image in the first axis direction or the second axis direction in the array as a display sample to be displayed after switching, and the receiver receives the switching operation that enables such selection.

  • Publication number: 20160162950
    Abstract: An advertisement delivery system of the present invention includes a store terminal, a management device connected to the store terminal via a communication network, and a mobile terminal connected to the management device via the communication network. The store terminal transmits a delivery instruction to the management device in response to an operation giving an instruction to deliver advertisement data. When the delivery instruction transmitted from the store terminal is received, the management device push-delivers the advertisement data of the store that has given the delivery instruction to the mobile terminal. Then, when the advertisement data of the store push-delivered from the management device is received, the mobile terminal judges whether or not the distance from the store to its current position is within a predetermined range, and outputs the advertisement data on a condition that the distance is within the predetermined range.
