Abstract

The voice advertisement delivery system includes a user terminal, an advertiser terminal, and a voice advertisement delivery server. The voice advertisement delivery server receives designation of a preferred location to which voice advertisement is delivered from the advertiser terminal and acquires user location information indicating the location of a user and user direction information indicating the direction of the user. The user location information is transmitted to the voice advertisement delivery server. The advertisement location information and voice advertisement data are delivered to the user terminal when the user location information approaches the designated advertisement location information and satisfies a predetermined condition. The user terminal operates spatial sound and reproduces the voice advertisement.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system for voice advertisement delivery that audibly delivers spatial sound of voice advertisement to a user terminal used by a user from a direction of a location where voice advertisement is set, comprising:
a designation unit that designates advertisement location information indicating a location to set the voice advertisement;
a user location acquisition unit that acquires user location information indicating a location of a user;
a user direction acquisition unit that acquires the user direction information indicating a direction of the user's face;
a delivery unit that delivers the advertisement location information and voice advertisement data to the user terminal when the acquired user location information approaches the designated advertisement location information in a situation that satisfies a predetermined condition;
a spatial sound operation unit that operates a relative direction of the user to an advertisement location based on the user location information, the user direction information, and the advertisement location information and operates spatial sound for the user to hear from a direction of the advertisement location; and
a voice content detection unit that detects a voice content that the user is listening to with the user terminal, wherein
the delivery unit delivers the voice advertisement data according to the detected voice content, and
when the detected voice content is music, the delivery unit changes a part of the lyrics of the music into advertisement and deliver the voice advertisement;
wherein when the acquired user location information satisfies a predetermined condition of the information of two or more advertisement locations, the delivery unit detects a direction which the user approaches, selects the information of an advertisement location in the direction which the user approaches from the two or more advertisement locations, and delivers the advertisement location information and the voice advertisement data that are designated for the selected advertisement location.

2. The system for voice advertisement delivery according to claim 1 , wherein the spatial sound operation unit operates spatial sound for the user to hear from the direction of the advertisement location to the user terminal whenever the acquired user location information changes.

3. The system for voice advertisement delivery according to claim 1 , wherein when the acquired user location information approaches the designated advertisement location information in a situation that satisfies a predetermined condition, the delivery unit changes the attention level of the voice advertisement according to the change of the predetermined condition and delivers the advertisement location information and the voice advertisement data to the user terminal.

4. The system for voice advertisement delivery according to claim 1 , wherein when the user location information moves away from the advertisement location information after the acquired user location information approaches the designated advertisement location information in a situation that satisfies a predetermined condition, the delivery unit stops the delivery of the advertisement location information and the voice advertisement data even in a situation that satisfies a predetermined condition.

5. The system for voice advertisement delivery according to claim 1 , wherein when the direction of the face of the user matches the direction of the advertisement location seen from the user, the delivery unit delivers the advertisement location information and the voice advertisement data.

6. The system for voice advertisement delivery according to claim 1 , wherein the designation unit designates the voice advertisement location to a category.

7. The system for voice advertisement delivery according to claim 1 , wherein the delivery unit delivers the voice advertisement data between the detected voice content and another detected voice content.

8. The system for voice advertisement delivery according to claim 1 , wherein the delivery unit delivers voice advertisement naturally over the detected voice content.

9. The system for voice advertisement delivery according to claim 1 , wherein the delivery unit detects interlude between the detected voice contents and deliver the voice advertisement data over the voice contents.

10. The system for voice advertisement delivery according to claim 1 , wherein the delivery unit delivers voice advertisement data with high relativity to the detected voice content among two or more voice advertisements designated for close advertisement locations.

11. A system for voice advertisement delivery that audibly delivers spatial sound of voice advertisement to a user terminal used by a user from a direction of a location where voice advertisement is set, comprising:
a designation unit that designates advertisement location information indicating a location to set the voice advertisement;
a user location acquisition unit that acquires user location information indicating a location of a user;
a user direction acquisition unit that acquires a user direction information indicating a direction of the user's face;
a delivery unit that delivers the advertisement location information and voice advertisement data to the user terminal when the acquired user location information approaches the designated advertisement location information in a situation that satisfies a predetermined condition;
a spatial sound operation unit that operates a relative direction of the user to an advertisement location based on the user location information, the user direction information, and the advertisement location information and operates spatial sound for the user to hear from a direction of the advertisement location;
a voice content detection unit that detects a voice content that the user is listening to with the user terminal; and
a voice content change unit that changes the detected voice content
wherein
the delivery unit delivers the voice advertisement data according to the detected voice content, and
the spatial sound operation unit changes a direction of the spatial sound of the detected voice content and informs the user a direction of preferred voice advertisement;
wherein when the acquired user location information satisfies a predetermined condition of the information of two or more advertisement locations, the delivery unit detects a direction which the user approaches, selects the information of an advertisement location in the direction which the user approaches from two or more advertisements locations, and delivers the advertisement location information and the voice advertisement data that are designated for the selected advertisement location.

12. The system for voice advertisement delivery according to claim 11 , wherein the spatial sound operation unit operates spatial sound for the user to hear from the direction of the advertisement location to the user terminal whenever the acquired user location information changes.

13. The system for voice advertisement delivery according to claim 11 , wherein when the acquired user location information approaches the designated advertisement location information in a situation that satisfies a predetermined condition, the delivery unit changes the attention level of the voice advertisement according to the change of the predetermined condition and delivers the advertisement location information and the voice advertisement data to the user terminal.

14. The system for voice advertisement delivery according to claim 11 , wherein when the user location information moves away from the advertis
