INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, GUIDING SYSTEM, GUIDING METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18022039 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, GUIDING SYSTEM, GUIDING METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a system that determines whether to issue a coupon or calculate a point based on the staying time of a user in a limited area before boarding a plane. The coupon and point can be exchanged for an article provided in the limited area. The system notifies the user on their mobile terminal about the issuance of a coupon or provides information about the calculated point.
- The system determines whether to issue a coupon or calculate a point based on the staying time of a user in a limited area before boarding a plane.
- The coupon and point can be exchanged for an article provided in the limited area.
- The system notifies the user on their mobile terminal about the issuance of a coupon or provides information about the calculated point.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Airports can use this system to incentivize passengers to spend more time in the limited area by offering coupons or points that can be exchanged for goods or services.
- Retailers in the limited area can benefit from increased foot traffic and sales as passengers are motivated to stay longer in the area to earn coupons or points.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Passengers often have to wait for extended periods in the limited area before boarding a plane. This system provides a way to make this waiting time more enjoyable and rewarding for passengers.
- Retailers in the limited area may struggle to attract customers due to the transient nature of the passenger population. This system provides a mechanism to incentivize passengers to visit and spend time in their stores.
Benefits of this technology:
- Passengers can make their waiting time more productive and enjoyable by earning coupons or points that can be exchanged for goods or services.
- Retailers in the limited area can increase their customer base and sales by attracting and retaining passengers through the coupon and point system.
Original Abstract Submitted
An imparting unit determines whether to issue a coupon or calculates a point on the basis of a staying time in the limited area, the coupon and the point being exchangeable with an article provided in the limited area by a user who is a soon-to-be passenger to board a plane. The limited area indicates an area in which a soon-to-be passenger stays until he or she boards a plane after a security check. In addition, the staying time in the limited area indicates an elapsed time from entry to the limited area to a predetermined imparted timing. An output unit outputs, on a mobile terminal of the user, information notifying of an issuance of a coupon when the imparting unit determines to issue the coupon, or information about the point calculated by the imparting unit.
