201145201 六、發明說明： 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明係關於一種對陳列商品之布置之製作進行支援之 技術》 【先前技術】 商品之銷售係依賴於商品配置等。下述專利文獻1中記 載有一種進行於賣場設置自動販賣機之情形時之、算出賣 場方之顧客盈利之模擬及其效果驗證的技術。該文獻中， 記載有如下構成：於設置計劃製作階段利用必要的最低限 度之資料迅速地獲得模擬結果’並且於計劃提案階段對機 種特性及商品配置進行考慮，藉此獲得較計劃製作階段更 高精度之模擬結果。 [先前技術文獻] [專利文獻] [專利文獻1]日本專利特開2003-203155號公報 【發明内容】 [發明所欲解決之問題] 然而，近年來，便利商店等之零售店鋪正不斷增加。此 種零售店鋪中，由於商品之配置空間有限，故而重要的是 如何能夠有效地布置商品以吸引顧客的目光。尤其於販賣 香煙時，於自動販賣機購買香煙時，有時還需要一種被稱 為taspo(購煙證）之成人識別山卡，與先前相比於零售店鋪 等中的面對面賣場的販賣增加。因此，面對面賣場之重要 性增加，有必要使作為面對面賣場之店鋪内配置之貨架中 155025.doc 201145201 之商品布置具有吸引力。 然而’於使用貨架之情形時，並非如自動販賣機般整齊 無變化’而是能夠以各種方式布置商品，故難以有效地對 布置進行設定。 本發明係鑒於上述情況而完成者，其目的在於提供一種 藉由簡單方法而對配置於店鋪之貨架上所陳列之商品布置 進行設定的技術。 [解決問題之技術手段] 本發明之第1態樣係關於一種用於對貨架中之布置進行 °又疋之布置製作支援系統，該貨架係由複數行複數段構 成，並將由各一行與各一段所指定之一個區域作為一個配 置商品之基本排面。第丨態樣之布置製作支援系統包含： 布置候補5己憶部，其針對每個由特定行數x特定段數之兩 個以上之上述基本排面構成之排面群之尺寸，而記憶複數 個商品的布置候補；顯示處理部，其根據欲對商品之布置 進行設定之貨架之尺寸，顯示對應於該貨架之貨架模型， 並且根據該貨架之尺寸及上述排面群之尺寸而於該貨架模 型内顯示複數個有關該貨架而設定之上述排面群所對應之 輸入框；及登錄部，其記憶貨架中之商品之布置；且上述 顯示處理部將上述貨架模型及上述輸入框顯示成可指定任 一上述輸入框；上述顯示處理部指定任一上述輸入框時， 參照上述布置候補記憶部，根據與所指定之上述輸入框對 應之上述排面群之尺寸’顯示與該尺寸之上述排面群相對 應之複數個上述布置候補作為可單選之清單；上述登錄部 155025.doc 201145201 選擇任一上述布置候補時，將所選擇之布置候補作為與所 指定之上述輸入框對應之上述排面群中所包含之上述爲本 排面中之商品的布置’與確定該貨架之資訊建立關聯而進 行記憶。 本發明之第2態樣係關於一種用於對貨架中之布置進行 設定之布置製作支援程式’該貨架係由複數行複數段構 成，並將由各一行與各一段指定之一個區域作為一個配置 商品之基本排面。第2態樣之布置製作支援程式使電腦作 為如下機構而發揮功能：布置候補記憶機構，其針對每個 由特定行數X特定段數之兩個以上之上述基本排面構成之 排面群的尺寸，而記憶複數個商品之布置候補；顯示處理 機構，其根據欲對商品之布置進行設定之貨架之尺寸，顯 示對應於該貨架之貨架模型，並且根據該貨架之尺寸及上 述排面群之尺寸而於上述貨架模型内顯示複數個該貨架十 所設定之上述排面群所對應之輸入框；及登錄機構，其記 憶貨架中之商品之布置；且上述顯示處理機構將上述貨架 模型及上述輸入框顯示成可指定任一上述輸入框；上述顯 示處理機構指定任一上述輸入框時，參照上述布置候補記 憶機構，根據與所指定之上述輸入框對應之上述排面群之 尺寸，顯不與該尺寸之上述排面群相對應之複數個上述布 置候補作為可單選之清單；上述登錄機構選擇任一上述布 置候補時’將所選擇之布㈣補作為與所指定之上述輸入 框對應之上述排面群中所包含之上述基本排面中之商品的 布置’與確定該貨架之資訊建立關聯而進行記憶。 155025.doc 201145201 根據此構成，並非針對各貨架之各基本排面之每一個設 定商品布置’而是針料個排面群來設定該排面群中所包 含之基本排面中之商品的布置，故而可有效地對各基本排 面尹之商品之布置進行設^。又，由於針對每個排面群而 對布置候補進行設定，故而可—定程度上縮減布置候補之 圖案’且布置候補之設定亦可簡單地進行。 再者，作為本發明之其他態樣，亦可為由電腦執行以上 構成要素之方法、記錄有上述第2態樣之布置製作支援程 式之電腦可讀取之記憶媒體。 [發明之效果] 根據本發明，能可藉由簡單方法對配置於店鋪之貨架所 陳列之商品之布置進行設定。 上述目的、及其他目的、特徵及優勢可藉由下述之較佳 實施形態、及其後隨附之以下圖式而進一步明瞭。 【實施方式】 以下，利用圖式對本發明之實施形態進行說明。再者，

香煙440之貨架之前視圖作為布置圖而表示。 例如’所謂表述為布置選項之「單品」，係指將香煙44〇 之包裝單體配置成縱型，即於使其表面45〇為前面、其底 面454為底面之狀態而配置。因此，所謂「單品3」，係指 才κ向排列二個「單品」配置之香煙44〇之包裝之布置。 又，所謂表述為布置選項之「整條」，係指將香煙440之 包裝之紙盒（單體5X2之10包裝）於使其最小面朝向前後方 向且其最大面朝向上下方向之狀態而配置。藉此，「整 條」配置中，該紙盒中之各包裝成為如下狀態：上下每兩 個層疊，且作為其最大面之表面45〇朝向上下方向，且立 :面452朝向前後方向。因此，所謂「整條2」，係指橫： 排列兩個「整條」配置之該紙盒之布置。 4:之表述為布置選項之「整條縱置」，係指將香煙 後方:且使之單體5X2之1G包裝）於使其最小面朝向前 「整條縱二朝向橫方向的狀態而配置。藉此， 二J配置中’該紙盒中之各包裝成為如下狀筚. 各檢向排列兩個，且其表面450朝向 下狀. 朝向前後方向。因此 、 且其側面452 所"整條縱置3」，係指橫向排列 155025.doc 201145201 三個「整條縱置」㈤置之該紙盒之布置。再者，此處雖未 不出’所謂表述為布置選項之「無限制」，係指將例如打 火機或各種小物件自由地配置。 圖6係表示本實施形態中之布置製作支援系統2q之處理 步驟之流程圖。 首先，輸入受理部106針對欲對商品之布置進行設定之 貨架又理確疋該貨架之資訊(以下，亦簡稱為貨架資訊) 之輸Μ步驟S1GGP又’輸人受理部⑽針對欲對商品之 布置進行設定之貨架’受理該貨架之尺寸之指定(步驟 S102)。此處’作為貨架之尺寸，既可指定行數及段數， 亦可僅指定行數。 顯示處理部1 〇4根據輸入受理部丄〇6所受理之貨架之尺 寸，將對應於該貨架之貨架模型顯示於使用者之顯示器。 又，顯示處理部1〇4根據輸入受理部1〇6所受理之貨架之尺 寸，參照布置候補記憶部122，根據該貨架之尺寸及排面 群之尺寸而於貨架模型内顯示對應於該貨架之尺寸而記憶 之尺寸的排面群所對應之複數個輸入框。又，顯示處理部 104將貨架模型顯示成可指定任一輸入框（步驟si〇4)。 圖7至圖17係表示本實施形態中於對貨架中之商品之布 置進行設定時，顯示於使用者之顯示器之晝面之例的圖。 如圖7所示，於輸入晝面52〇顯示有輸入表522。輸入表 522中包含顯示有預先設定之項目名等之項目欄522a及顯 示有使用者輸入之資料之輸入攔522b。 輸入表522包含貨架資訊攔526、尺寸（行）欄528及布置 155025.doc -10· 201145201 欄530。於貨架資訊攔526中輸入欲對商品之布置進行設定 之貨架的貨架資訊。又，於尺寸（行）欄528中輸入欲對商品 之布置進行設定之貨架之尺寸（行）。 於布置攔530中輸入商品之布置。布置攔53〇中，顯示有 與貨架之段數對應之段數「上」、「1」、「2」、「3」、「4」、 「5」…等作為項目。此處，成為自貨架之上段側起計數 為1 #又2^又…的構成。又，因有時亦可於貨架之上面陳列 商品，故而亦設置有「上」之項目。 又於輸入表522之輸入欄522b顯示有指定框512。使用 者利用操作部等將指定框512移動至輸入攔㈣之任意概 格從而可扣疋輸入資料之栅格。再者，貨架資訊欄526 及尺寸(行)欄528所對應之輸入欄522b之各柵格係對應於一 個貨架。即，此處各行與各貨架對應。 例如，圖7所示之例中，於皆如这 <妁甲於 > 架貢訊攔526之第1行顯示 有指定框512。例如若使用者利用操作部輸入貨架資訊 ^-2-3]」’則該行之貨架以貨架資訊「卜^」而確 此處1 2-3-1」可為對應於例如(店代碼)(賣場編 號）-(m錢）_(貨架料）之編料。其後，使用者利 用操作部等將指定極512移動至同一行（第叫之尺寸（行） 攔似，輸入例如行數「3」（圖％))。藉此，針對貨架資 汛「1-2-3-1」之貨架，設定成行數為「3」。 如此指定貨架之尺寸（行數）時，顯示處理部1〇4將貨架 ^型純及輸入框觸示於使用者之顯示器（叫)）。再 者，此處由虛線所示之框係為了說明而表示’並非於使用 155025.doc • 11 · 201145201 者之顯示器上顯示者。 此處’如參照圖4說明般，排面群之尺寸設定為3行x】 ’又，於各段各包含一個輸入框5〇3。因此，輸入表522之構 成可視為與圖8(a)所示之例相比未發生變化。 然而，例如將貨架之行數設定為「4」、排面群之尺寸設 定為2行XI段之情形時’貨架之各段各包含兩個輸入框 503。於此情形時，輸入表522可成為例如圖9(a)所示之構 成。 又，例如將貨架之行數設定為「3」、排面群之尺寸設定 為3行x2段之情形時’於每2段貨架設置有輸入框5〇3。於 此情形時，輸入表522可成為例如圖9(b)所示之構成。 又’圖8所示之構成中’為僅輸入貨架之行數之構成， 但亦可為亦輸入貨架之段數之構成。圖1〇表示輸入表522 亦包含尺寸（段）欄529之例。此種構成中亦可為如下者：例 如右將貨架之段數輸入為「5」，則於第6段以後之區域顯 不影線等’從而易於觀察貨架模型5〇4a之範圍，或者無法 利用指定框5 12進行指定。 再者’以上已表示使用者分別輸入確定貨架之資訊及貨 架之尺寸之例，但布置製作支援系統20亦可為包含例如確 定貨架之資汛及與該貨架之尺寸建立關聯而記憶之記憶部 的構成。於此情形時，於貨架編號欄526輸入貨架資訊 時，顯示處理部104根據確定貨架之資訊，參照記憶部， 取得與確定該貨架之資訊建立關聯之貨架之尺寸，並顯示 於尺寸（打）棚528 ’從而可顯示對應於尺寸之貨架模型5〇4& 155025.doc -12- 201145201 及輸入框503。 返回到圖8(b)所示之例中，顯示貨架模型5〇4a之後，使 用者利用操作部等將指定框512移動至同一行（第1行）之布 置欄530之「1」所對應的輸入框5〇3 ’按下例如「決定」 鍵等時，輸入受理部1〇6受理該輸入框5〇3之指定（圖 u(a)，圖6之步驟si〇6)。 顯不處理部104若指定任一輸入框5〇3，則參照布置候補 §己憶部122，根據與所指定之輸入框5〇3對應之排面群之尺 寸，將與該尺寸之排面群建立關聯之複數個上述布置候補 顯示作為可單選之清單（圖6之步驟§ 1 〇8)。 此處，如圖4所示，排面群尺寸「3行4段」中，設定有 「無限制J、「單品3」、「整條2」、「整條縱置3」等作為布 置選項。因此，如圖11(b)所示，顯示處理部1〇4將包含顯 示為無限制」、「單品3」、「整條2」、「整條縱置3」等之 選項按鈕542及取消按鈕546等之選擇清單54〇顯示於使用 者之顯示器。此處，選擇清單54〇係層疊於輸入表522上而 顯示，使用者例如利用PC(Pers〇nal c〇mputer，個人電腦） 來進行操作’於顯示器較大之情形時，亦可不與輸入表 522層疊而顯示。 此處，於選擇清單540中亦顯示有選擇框548，使用者可 利用操作部等移動選擇框548以選擇任—選項按紐M2或取 消按紐546。X ’㈣’顯示處理部1()4亦可將如圖5所示 之布置圖顯示於使用者之顯示器。藉此，使用者可容易地 把握商品之布置。

Hereinafter, in the present embodiment, a case where the product is a cigarette and cigarettes of various brands are displayed on the shelf will be described as an example. Fig. 2 is a view schematically showing the three-dimensional configuration of the package of the cigarette 440. Here, the package of the cigarette 44 includes: a surface 450 (maximum side) showing a brand name or the like; and a bottom surface 454 (minimum surface) 'when the surface 450 is front and the package of the cigarette 44 is placed vertically The bottom surface and the side surface 452 are side surfaces in which the surface of the cigarette 440 is placed vertically by the surface 45. Fig. 3 is a view schematically showing the configuration of the front surface of the shelf in which the arrangement of the objects is set in the embodiment. Fig. 3 (a) shows the configuration of the rack 410a composed of 3 rows and 5 segments. Fig. 3(b) shows the configuration of the rack 41b composed of 4 rows and 5 segments. As shown in Fig. 3(a), the shelf 410a has a total of 15 bases of 3 rows, 4 columns, and 5 columns. 155025.doc 201145201 This row surface 414. Further, as shown in FIG. 3(b), the shelf 410b has a total of 20 basic rows 414 in a total of five rows of five escapements. In the present embodiment, the basic storage surface 414 can be a size in which the package of the cigarette 440 can be displayed when the bottom surface 454 of the smallest surface on which the cigarette 440 is packaged is the bottom surface and the surface 45 of the largest surface is turned into the front surface. In the present embodiment, the arrangement of the articles in the respective basic rows 414 is not set for each of the basic rows 414 but by a specific number of rows >< The number of specific segments is set by two or more basic rows 414. Thereby, the arrangement of the products in each of the basic rows 414 can be effectively set. FIG. 4 shows the configuration of the arrangement candidate memory unit 122. The layout candidate memory unit 122 includes the shelf size (row number) block and the face group size. Block and arrange options. In the present embodiment, the layout candidate memory unit 122 can store the size of each shelf in association with the size of the face group. Further, the face group is composed of the basic face 414 of the number of rows X1, and can be set for each of the respective sections of each shelf. For example, a shelf with a frame size of (f) of "3" sets the size of the face group to "3 rows and XI segments". That is, here, the row group is set in units of . In addition, the size of the row group "3 lines" has "limit", "single item 3", "whole item 2", and "the whole item is a layout option. The same thing, for example, goods + Γ The racks with the size set to "2G4" will be arranged in groups. In addition, the size of the row is also set. "The two sections are also set in sections." 4 "Inch X1 section" is set to "unlimited" and single. . 4", "the whole 3", "the whole vertical 4", "single product 2+ whole vertical 155025.doc 201145201 2", etc. as the layout option β shown in Figure 3, in the arrangement of the candidate memory When the setting is made in this manner in 122, as shown in FIG. 25, the face group 410 and the face group 418 are set for each of the shelves 410a and 410b, respectively. Further, the arrangement candidate memory unit 122 can also memorize the layout map. Figure 5 is a diagram showing a table associating the name of the arrangement with the layout map. Here, the front view of the shelf on which the cigarette 440 is displayed is shown as a layout drawing. For example, the term "single product" as the arrangement option means that the packaging unit of the cigarette 44 is arranged in a vertical shape, that is, the surface 45 is placed on the front side and the bottom surface 454 is placed on the bottom surface. Therefore, the so-called "single item 3" refers to the arrangement of the packaging of the cigarettes arranged in two "single items". In addition, the phrase "the entire strip" of the arrangement option refers to a state in which the paper box of the package of the cigarette 440 (packaged by the single 5X2) is placed such that the smallest surface thereof faces the front-rear direction and the maximum surface thereof faces the up-and-down direction. Configuration. Thereby, in the "whole article" arrangement, each of the packages in the carton is in a state in which the upper and lower sides are stacked, and the surface 45 作为 as the largest surface faces the up-and-down direction, and the surface 452 faces the front-rear direction. Therefore, the term "whole article 2" refers to the horizontal: the arrangement of the carton in which two "whole" configurations are arranged. 4: The expression "the entire vertical position" of the layout option means that the rear of the cigarette: and the 1G package of the single 5X2 is placed in the state in which the smallest face is oriented toward the front side. Therefore, in the second J configuration, the packages in the carton are in the following state. Each of the inspection directions is arranged in two, and the surface 450 faces downward. The front and rear directions are oriented. Therefore, the side surface 452 is "whole" The strip longitudinal 3" refers to the horizontal arrangement of 155025.doc 201145201 three "whole longitudinal" (five) placed in the carton. Further, although the term "unrestricted" as the arrangement option is not mentioned here, it means that a lighter or various small objects are freely arranged, for example. Fig. 6 is a flow chart showing the processing procedure of the layout creation support system 2q in the present embodiment. First, the input accepting unit 106 determines the information on the shelf to be set for the arrangement of the products (hereinafter, also referred to as shelf information).

The user can use the operation unit or the like to move the designation frame 512 to any of the input barriers (4) so that the grid of input data can be deducted. Further, each of the grids of the input field 522b corresponding to the shelf information column 526 and the size (row) column 528 corresponds to one shelf. That is, each row here corresponds to each shelf. For example, in the example shown in Figure 7, it is like this. <妁甲在> The first line of the tribute block 526 is displayed with a designated box 512. For example, if the user inputs the shelf information ^-2-3]"' using the operation unit, the shelf of the line can be determined by the shelf information "Bu" and the position 1 2-3-1" corresponds to, for example, (store code). (Store number) - (m money) _ (shelf material). Thereafter, the user moves the designated pole 512 to the same line by using the operation unit or the like (the size of the first call (row) is blocked, and for example, the number of lines "3" (Fig. %) is input. In this way, the number of rows in the shelf of "1-2-3-1" for the shelf is set to "3". When the size (row number) of the shelf is specified as such, the display processing unit 1〇4 displays the shelf type and the input frame on the display (called) of the user. Further, the frame indicated by the broken line here is shown for the sake of explanation. It is not displayed on the display of 155025.doc • 11 · 201145201.

Therefore, the configuration of the input table 522 can be regarded as being unchanged from the example shown in Fig. 8(a). However, for example, when the number of rows of shelves is set to "4" and the size of the face group is set to 2 rows and XI segments, each segment of the shelf includes two input boxes 503. In this case, the input table 522 can be configured as shown, for example, in Fig. 9(a). Further, for example, when the number of rows of shelves is set to "3" and the size of the face group is set to 3 rows x 2 segments, the input frame 5〇3 is provided for every two shelves. In this case, the input table 522 can be configured as shown, for example, in Fig. 9(b). Further, the configuration shown in Fig. 8 is a configuration in which only the number of rows of shelves is input, but it may be a configuration in which the number of segments of the shelf is also input. FIG. 1A shows an example in which the input table 522 also includes a size (segment) column 529. In such a configuration, for example, if the number of segments of the shelf is input as "5", the area after the sixth segment is not hatched, etc., so that the range of the shelf model 5〇4a can be easily observed, or Specify with the specified box 5 12 . Furthermore, the above description has been made for the user to input the information for determining the shelf and the size of the shelf, but the layout support system 20 may also be a memory containing, for example, the assets of the shelf and the size of the shelf. Composition. In this case, when the shelf information is input in the shelf number column 526, the display processing unit 104 refers to the memory unit based on the information of the determined shelf, and acquires the size of the shelf associated with the information for determining the shelf, and displays the size of the shelf (displayed). The shed 528' thus displays the shelf model 5〇4&155025.doc -12- 201145201 and the input box 503 corresponding to the size. Returning to the example shown in FIG. 8(b), after the shelf model 5〇4a is displayed, the user moves the designated frame 512 to the "1" of the layout column 530 of the same row (first row) by the operation unit or the like. When the input box 5〇3 is pressed, for example, the "decision" button or the like is pressed, the input accepting unit 1〇6 accepts the designation of the input box 5〇3 (Fig. u(a), step si〇6 of Fig. 6). When any of the input boxes 5〇3 is designated, the display processing unit 104 refers to the layout candidate § the memory unit 122, and arranges the size of the face group according to the size of the face group corresponding to the designated input frame 5〇3. The plurality of the above-mentioned arrangement candidate displays of the group association are displayed as a list of singularities (steps § 1 〇 8 of Fig. 6). Here, as shown in FIG. 4, in the layout group size "3 rows and 4 segments", "unlimited J, "single product 3", "whole article 2", "entire vertical 3", and the like are set as the arrangement. Option. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11(b), the display processing unit 1〇4 includes option buttons 542 such as "unlimited", "single product 3", "full 2", "full vertical 3", and the like.
