In step S105, necessary information is transmitted from the processing device 9 to the management server 1 and registered in the device database 121.
 管理サーバ1を有する管理者からは、販社に対して代金Bが支払われる(ステップS107)。ステップS107では、管理サーバ1から販社の処理装置9に対して電子決済が行われてもよい。代金Bは、表示装置5の本来の費用から代金Aを差し引いた金額である。つまり、管理者によって、ユーザが支払った表示装置5の費用が補填される。これにより、販社には、表示装置5の本来の費用が支払われることになる。 The administrator who has the management server 1 pays the price B to the sales company (step S107). In step S107, electronic payment may be performed from the management server 1 to the processing device 9 of the sales company. The price B is an amount obtained by subtracting the price A from the original cost of the display device 5. That is, the administrator compensates for the cost of the display device 5 paid by the user. As a result, the sales company will be paid the original cost of the display device 5.
 ステップS107の、スポンサーによる費用の補填を条件としてユーザに入手された表示装置5を、スポンサー付機器と称する。上記ステップS105では、表示装置5を、スポンサー付機器として管理サーバ1に登録する。 The display device 5 obtained by the user on the condition that the cost is compensated by the sponsor in step S107 is referred to as a sponsored device. In step S105, the display device 5 is registered in the management server 1 as a sponsored device.
 ステップS105では、一例として、表示装置5固有の識別情報(機器ID)が管理サーバ1に登録される。識別情報とともに、ユーザに関する情報や、設置位置を特定する情報などが登録されてもよい。ユーザ情報は、例えば、ユーザ名などのユーザ固有の情報である。その他、ユーザ情報は、例えば、性別や年齢などの属性情報などを含んでもよい。設置位置を特定する情報は、住所や緯度経度などであってもよい。 In step S105, as an example, the identification information (device ID) unique to the display device 5 is registered in the management server 1. In addition to the identification information, information about the user, information for specifying the installation position, and the like may be registered. The user information is user-specific information such as a user name. In addition, the user information may include, for example, attribute information such as gender and age. The information that identifies the installation position may be an address, latitude and longitude, and the like.
 処理装置9からこのような情報を取得することによって、管理サーバ1の機器データベース121には、図7に示されるようなスポンサー付機器に関する情報が登録される。すなわち、図7を参照して、機器データベース121には、スポンサー付機器の固有の識別情報(機器ID)が登録される。好ましくは、さらに、ユーザ情報や設置位置を特定する情報が登録される。 By acquiring such information from the processing device 9, information about the sponsored device as shown in FIG. 7 is registered in the device database 121 of the management server 1. That is, with reference to FIG. 7, unique identification information (device ID) of the sponsored device is registered in the device database 121. Preferably, further, user information and information for specifying the installation position are registered.
 管理者には、スポンサーから広告配信が依頼され、広告費用が支払われる(ステップS109)。ステップS109では、スポンサーの有する処理装置7から管理サーバ1に対して広告に関するデータが送信されるとともに、広告費用が電子決済されてもよい。また、販社は、システム100の利用料(ロイヤリティ)を、管理サーバ1を有する管理者に対して支払ってもよい。このとき、処理装置9を用いて電子決済が行われてもよい。 The sponsor is requested to deliver the advertisement by the sponsor, and the advertisement cost is paid (step S109). In step S109, data related to the advertisement may be transmitted from the processing device 7 owned by the sponsor to the management server 1, and the advertisement cost may be settled electronically. Further, the sales company may pay the usage fee (royalty) of the system 100 to the administrator having the management server 1. At this time, electronic payment may be performed using the processing device 9.
 なお、図6の例では、管理サーバ1を有する管理者と、処理装置9を有する販社とが別の者、つまり、管理サーバ1と処理装置9とが独立した異なる装置であるものとしている。しかしながら、これら2者が同一、つまり、管理サーバ1と処理装置9とが同一の装置、又は、関連して処理を実行する装置群に含まれてもよい。この場合、販社のシステム100の利用料は発生しない分、ステップS101でユーザが支払う代金Aを抑えることができ、表示装置5の販売が促進されることが期待できる。 In the example of FIG. 6, it is assumed that the administrator having the management server 1 and the sales company having the processing device 9 are different persons, that is, the management server 1 and the processing device 9 are independent and different devices. However, these two may be included in the same device, that is, the management server 1 and the processing device 9 are the same device, or a group of devices that execute processing in relation to each other. In this case, since the usage fee of the system 100 of the sales company is not generated, the price A paid by the user in step S101 can be suppressed, and it can be expected that the sales of the display device 5 will be promoted.
 処理装置7から管理サーバ1に送信される広告に関するデータは、一例として、広告の固有の識別情報(広告ID)と、広告を表示させるための広告データと、広告主となる処理装置9を有するスポンサーの情報と、含む。 As an example, the data related to the advertisement transmitted from the processing device 7 to the management server 1 includes the unique identification information (advertisement ID) of the advertisement, the advertisement data for displaying the advertisement, and the processing device 9 as an advertiser. Includes sponsor information.
 また、広告出力時の番組を特定するデータである番組識別データをさらに含んでもよい。番組識別データは、例えば、番組そのものの情報と、番組放映中に出力されるコマーシャル(CM)の情報と、を含む。 Further, the program identification data, which is the data for identifying the program at the time of advertising output, may be further included. The program identification data includes, for example, information on the program itself and information on commercials (CM) output during the broadcast of the program.
 また、広告を配信するスポンサー付機器を特定するデータである機器識別データをさらに含んでもよい。機器識別データは、例えば、機器のユーザの性別などのユーザ属性を含む。 Further, the device identification data, which is the data for identifying the sponsored device to which the advertisement is delivered, may be further included. The device identification data includes user attributes such as, for example, the gender of the user of the device.
 管理者は、ユーザに広告を配信する(ステップS111)。ステップS111では、管理サーバ1から、ユーザの入手した表示装置5に対して広告データが送信される。このとき、管理サーバ1では、配信する広告を、広告データベース122から選択する選択処理112が実行される。 The administrator delivers the advertisement to the user (step S111). In step S111, the management server 1 transmits the advertisement data to the display device 5 obtained by the user. At this time, the management server 1 executes the selection process 112 for selecting the advertisement to be delivered from the advertisement database 122.
 表示装置5は広告データを受信し、広告データに基づいて広告が表示される。ユーザに広告を配信した管理者は、配信結果を管理サーバ1に登録するとともに、登録された配信結果に基づいて、広告の配信をスポンサーに報告する(ステップS113)。ステップS113では、管理サーバ1のメモリ12に配信結果123が登録されるとともに、管理サーバ1から処理装置7に対して、配信結果123に基づく配信結果を示すデータが送信される。 The display device 5 receives the advertisement data, and the advertisement is displayed based on the advertisement data. The administrator who has delivered the advertisement to the user registers the delivery result in the management server 1 and reports the delivery of the advertisement to the sponsor based on the registered delivery result (step S113). In step S113, the distribution result 123 is registered in the memory 12 of the management server 1, and data indicating the distribution result based on the distribution result 123 is transmitted from the management server 1 to the processing device 7.
 このように、図6に示されたビジネスモデルでは、表示装置5を入手したいユーザは、表示装置5の本来の代金よりも低い代金Aで表示装置5を入手できる。 As described above, in the business model shown in FIG. 6, a user who wants to obtain the display device 5 can obtain the display device 5 at a price A lower than the original price of the display device 5.
 システム100では、図9に示された流れで広告が配信される。すなわち、図9を参照して、スポンサー付機器である表示装置5において、図4に示されたようにディスプレイ54の向きが第1の向きから第2の向きに変更されるユーザ操作が行われた場合など(ステップS1)、表示装置5において表示モードを切り替えるトリガが検出される(ステップS3)。 In the system 100, the advertisement is delivered according to the flow shown in FIG. That is, with reference to FIG. 9, in the display device 5 which is a sponsored device, a user operation is performed in which the orientation of the display 54 is changed from the first orientation to the second orientation as shown in FIG. In such a case (step S1), a trigger for switching the display mode is detected in the display device 5 (step S3).
 切り替えるトリガが検出されると、表示装置5のプロセッサ51は、表示モードをミラーモードからテレビモードに切り替えるとともに(ステップS4)、トリガ検出時のデータを取得する(ステップS5)。ステップS5では、例えば、表示しているテレビ番組に関する情報などが取得される。表示装置5は、取得されたデータを送信するとともに、広告の要求を管理サーバ1に対して行う(ステップS7)。 When the trigger to be switched is detected, the processor 51 of the display device 5 switches the display mode from the mirror mode to the television mode (step S4), and acquires the data at the time of trigger detection (step S5). In step S5, for example, information about the displayed TV program is acquired. The display device 5 transmits the acquired data and makes an advertisement request to the management server 1 (step S7).
 表示装置5から広告の要求を受けた管理サーバ1は、表示装置5から受信したデータの少なくとも一部をメモリ12に記憶させる。この記憶は、後述する、配信結果123に含まれてもよい。すなわち、広告の配信結果と関連付けて記憶されてもよい。また、管理サーバ1は、表示装置5に配信する広告を広告データベース122から選択する選択処理を実行する(ステップS9)。また、管理サーバ1は、選択した広告を、表示装置5で表示するタイミングを決定する決定処理を実行する(ステップS10)。そして、管理サーバ1は、選択した広告を、決定したタイミングで表示されるように表示装置5に配信する(ステップS11)。 The management server 1 that receives the advertisement request from the display device 5 stores at least a part of the data received from the display device 5 in the memory 12. This memory may be included in the delivery result 123, which will be described later. That is, it may be stored in association with the delivery result of the advertisement. Further, the management server 1 executes a selection process of selecting an advertisement to be delivered to the display device 5 from the advertisement database 122 (step S9). In addition, the management server 1 executes a determination process for determining the timing at which the selected advertisement is displayed on the display device 5 (step S10). Then, the management server 1 delivers the selected advertisement to the display device 5 so as to be displayed at a determined timing (step S11).
 ステップS9では、一例として、表示装置5で表示されている番組に応じて、広告データベース122から配信する広告を選択する。この場合、管理サーバ1のプロセッサ11は、表示装置5からの要求に含まれている、表示モードを切り替えるトリガの検出時のデータに基づいて、広告データベース122に登録されている広告の情報を参照してもよい。 In step S9, as an example, an advertisement to be delivered from the advertisement database 122 is selected according to the program displayed on the display device 5. In this case, the processor 11 of the management server 1 refers to the advertisement information registered in the advertisement database 122 based on the data at the time of detecting the trigger for switching the display mode included in the request from the display device 5. You may.
 また、好ましくは、トリガの検出後、テレビモード中に、表示装置5からテレビ番組に関する情報などの状況を示すデータが管理サーバ1に送信される。状況を示すデータは、所定の間隔などの予め規定されたタイミングで表示装置5から管理サーバ1に送信されてもよいし、表示装置5に状況の変化が生じたときに管理サーバ1に送信されてもよい。状況の変化は、例えば、表示していたテレビ番組が終了したことや、チャンネルが変更されたこと、などである。 Also, preferably, after the trigger is detected, data indicating the status such as information about the TV program is transmitted from the display device 5 to the management server 1 during the TV mode. The data indicating the status may be transmitted from the display device 5 to the management server 1 at a predetermined timing such as a predetermined interval, or may be transmitted to the management server 1 when the status changes in the display device 5. You may. Changes in the situation include, for example, the TV program being displayed has ended, the channel has been changed, and so on.
 この場合、ステップS9の広告の選択は、テレビモード中にさらに実行されてもよい。すなわち、広告の選択は、表示装置5からデータを受信するたびに実行されてもよいし、所定の時間間隔など予め規定されたタイミングで実行されてもよい。これにより、表示装置5がテレビモードであるときにおいてチャンネルが変更されるなど状況が変化した場合であっても、適切な広告を配信することができる。 In this case, the advertisement selection in step S9 may be further executed during the television mode. That is, the selection of the advertisement may be executed every time data is received from the display device 5, or may be executed at a predetermined timing such as a predetermined time interval. As a result, even when the situation changes such as when the display device 5 is in the television mode and the channel is changed, an appropriate advertisement can be delivered.
 例えば、広告データベース122に登録された広告のうち、番組識別データに含まれる番組情報が、表示装置5からの要求に含まれている番組情報に一致、又は、類似する広告を、配信する広告として選択する。これにより、表示している番組に応じた広告が表示装置5に配信される。その結果、広告効果を向上させることができる。 For example, among the advertisements registered in the advertisement database 122, the program information included in the program identification data matches or is similar to the program information included in the request from the display device 5, as an advertisement to be delivered. select. As a result, the advertisement corresponding to the displayed program is delivered to the display device 5. As a result, the advertising effect can be improved.
 また例えば、広告データベース122に登録された広告のうち、スポンサーが、表示装置5からの要求に含まれている番組情報に含まれるスポンサーと一致する広告を、配信する広告として選択する。これにより、広告のスポンサーが番組中のスポンサーと競合することなく、広告配信の効果を向上させることができる。 Further, for example, among the advertisements registered in the advertisement database 122, the sponsor selects an advertisement that matches the sponsor included in the program information included in the request from the display device 5 as the advertisement to be delivered. As a result, the effectiveness of the advertisement distribution can be improved without the sponsor of the advertisement competing with the sponsor in the program.
 また例えば、表示装置5からの要求に含まれている番組情報に基づいて、CM時間以外のタイミングと広告を表示するタイミングを決定する。これにより、番組中のCMと広告とが同時に表示されることがなくなり、広告の効果を損なうことがなくなる。 Further, for example, based on the program information included in the request from the display device 5, the timing other than the CM time and the timing for displaying the advertisement are determined. As a result, the CM in the program and the advertisement are not displayed at the same time, and the effect of the advertisement is not impaired.
 ステップS9では、表示装置5から受信したさらに他のデータに基づいて広告データベース122から配信する広告を選択してもよい。また、ステップS10では、表示装置5から受信したさらに他のデータに基づいて表示装置5に配信するタイミングを決定してもよい。さらに他のデータは、例えば、ユーザの属性、表示装置5の設置されている地域、などである。 In step S9, the advertisement to be delivered from the advertisement database 122 may be selected based on the other data received from the display device 5. Further, in step S10, the timing of distribution to the display device 5 may be determined based on the other data received from the display device 5. Still other data are, for example, user attributes, areas where the display device 5 is installed, and the like.
 広告が配信された表示装置5は、広告データに基づいて広告を表示する(ステップS13)。これにより、表示装置5では、ミラーモードからテレビモードに切り替わると、テレビモード中には番組の表示とともに広告が表示されることになる。このため、広告がユーザに提示される機会を格段に増加させることができる。また、表示している番組の内容に適した広告が、適したタイミングで表示されることになる。これにより、ユーザのテレビ番組の視聴を妨げることなく効果的に広告が表示される。 The display device 5 to which the advertisement is delivered displays the advertisement based on the advertisement data (step S13). As a result, when the display device 5 switches from the mirror mode to the television mode, the advertisement is displayed together with the display of the program during the television mode. Therefore, the opportunity for the advertisement to be presented to the user can be significantly increased. In addition, an advertisement suitable for the content of the displayed program will be displayed at a suitable timing. As a result, the advertisement is effectively displayed without interfering with the user's viewing of the TV program.
 また、広告を配信した管理サーバ1は、メモリ12に配信結果123を記憶させる(ステップS15)。配信結果123は、一例として、配信した広告固有の識別情報と配信先の表示装置5固有の識別情報との組み合せである。好ましくは、配信結果123は、表示装置5から受信したデータの少なくとも一部と関連付けて記憶させる。表示装置5から受信したデータの少なくとも一部は、例えば、ステップS9の配信する広告を選択する処理において用いられたデータである。又は、選択する処理で用いられていないデータも含め、表示装置5から受信したデータのすべてを記憶させてもよい。これにより、どのようなデータを識別データとして広告データに含ませることが有効か、などの分析に用いることができる。その結果、より効果的な広告の配信につなげることができる。 Further, the management server 1 that has delivered the advertisement stores the delivery result 123 in the memory 12 (step S15). As an example, the distribution result 123 is a combination of the distribution-specific identification information and the distribution destination display device 5-specific identification information. Preferably, the delivery result 123 is stored in association with at least a part of the data received from the display device 5. At least a part of the data received from the display device 5 is, for example, the data used in the process of selecting the advertisement to be delivered in step S9. Alternatively, all the data received from the display device 5 may be stored, including the data not used in the selected process. As a result, it can be used for analysis such as what kind of data is effective to be included in the advertisement data as identification data. As a result, it is possible to lead to more effective advertisement distribution.
 図9に示された以上の動作が行われることで、本システムでは、スポンサーにとって効果的な広告の配信を実現することが可能になる。そのため、図6に示されたビジネスモデルで、ステップS109でスポンサーが管理者に支払う広告費用が確保される。 By performing the above operations shown in FIG. 9, this system makes it possible to realize effective advertisement distribution for the sponsor. Therefore, in the business model shown in FIG. 6, the advertising cost paid by the sponsor to the administrator in step S109 is secured.
 また、ステップS113で配信結果がスポンサーに報告されることによって、上記のように配信結果を分析に用いるなど、効果的な広告の配信につなげることができる。これによっても、図6に示されたビジネスモデルで、ステップS109でスポンサーが管理者に支払う広告費用が確保される。 Further, by reporting the distribution result to the sponsor in step S113, it is possible to lead to effective advertisement distribution such as using the distribution result for analysis as described above. This also secures the advertising costs paid by the sponsor to the administrator in step S109 in the business model shown in FIG.
 その結果、管理者は、スポンサーから支払われた広告費用を用いてステップS107の代金B,つまり、ユーザが表示装置5を入手する際の表示装置5の費用の補填を行うことができる。これにより、ユーザは、より安価で表示装置5を入手することが可能になる。 As a result, the administrator can use the advertising cost paid by the sponsor to compensate for the price B in step S107, that is, the cost of the display device 5 when the user obtains the display device 5. This makes it possible for the user to obtain the display device 5 at a lower cost.
[第2の実施の形態] [Second Embodiment]
 表示装置5に配信される広告は、商品を購入する操作入力を受け付け可能であってもよい。例えば、図5に示されたように、ディスプレイ54に表示された広告には、購入のための処理を指示するボタン23が含まれている。 The advertisement delivered to the display device 5 may be able to accept the operation input for purchasing the product. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the advertisement displayed on the display 54 includes a button 23 instructing a process for purchase.
 この場合、図9を再び参照して、表示装置5のプロセッサ51は、ボタン23への操作入力を受け付けると(ステップS17)、購入処理のためのデータを送信するとともに、購入処理を管理サーバ1に対して要求する(ステップS19)。管理サーバ1は、要求に応じて購入処理を実行する(ステップS21)。 In this case, referring to FIG. 9 again, when the processor 51 of the display device 5 receives the operation input to the button 23 (step S17), it transmits the data for the purchase process and performs the purchase process on the management server 1. (Step S19). The management server 1 executes the purchase process in response to the request (step S21).
 ステップS21の購入処理は、一般的な電子的な購入処理であってよい。そのため、ステップS19で表示装置5から送信されるデータは、例えばユーザ名、住所及びクレジットカード情報などの購入処理に必要な一般的なデータである。 The purchase process in step S21 may be a general electronic purchase process. Therefore, the data transmitted from the display device 5 in step S19 is general data necessary for the purchase process such as the user name, the address, and the credit card information.
 表示装置5に表示される広告を、購入の操作を受け付けることが可能なものとすることで、効果的な販売促進を行うこともできる。これによっても、図6に示されたビジネスモデルで、ステップS109でスポンサーが管理者に支払う広告費用が確保される。 By making the advertisement displayed on the display device 5 able to accept the purchase operation, it is possible to carry out effective sales promotion. This also secures the advertising costs paid by the sponsor to the administrator in step S109 in the business model shown in FIG.
[第3の実施の形態] [Third Embodiment]
 第3の実施の形態に係る表示装置5では、図10に示されたように、ディスプレイ54の表面に、反射率の高いフィルム54Aが貼付されている。フィルム54Aは、背面からの光の照射がない場合に、反射率が100%に近いものとする。このため、ディスプレイ54消灯時にはフィルム54Aに反射されることで表示装置5は鏡として機能する。この場合も、表示装置5のミラーモードに含める。 In the display device 5 according to the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, a film 54A having a high reflectance is attached to the surface of the display 54. The reflectance of the film 54A is close to 100% when there is no irradiation of light from the back surface. Therefore, when the display 54 is turned off, the display device 5 functions as a mirror by being reflected by the film 54A. This case is also included in the mirror mode of the display device 5.
 一方、フィルム54Aは、背面からの光の照射がある場合に、反射率が極めて低くなるものとする。このため、ディスプレイ54点灯時にはディスプレイ54の表示がフィルム54Aを透過する。 On the other hand, the reflectance of the film 54A is extremely low when there is light irradiation from the back surface. Therefore, when the display 54 is lit, the display of the display 54 passes through the film 54A.
 第3の実施の形態に係る表示装置5では、表示装置5の電源がOFFのときにミラーモードとなり、電源がONされることでテレビモードとなる。この場合、電源ONの操作入力が表示モードの切り替えのトリガとなる。すなわち、プロセッサ51は、電源ONの操作入力を受け付けると表示モードの切り替えのトリガを検出し、表示モードを切り替える。これにより、ユーザが表示装置5の電源をONしたタイミングでテレビモードとなり、通常のテレビと同じような使い方をすることができる。 In the display device 5 according to the third embodiment, the mirror mode is set when the power of the display device 5 is turned off, and the television mode is set when the power is turned on. In this case, the operation input of turning on the power triggers the switching of the display mode. That is, when the processor 51 receives the operation input of turning on the power, it detects the trigger for switching the display mode and switches the display mode. As a result, the TV mode is set when the user turns on the power of the display device 5, and the display device 5 can be used in the same way as a normal TV.
 なお、表示モードの切り替えのトリガは、さらに、ディスプレイ54の向きを組み合わせたものであってもよい。例えば、ディスプレイ54が第1の向きから第2の向きに変化し、かつ、電源ONの操作入力を受け付けることが切り替えのトリガであってもよい。これにより、ユーザがディスプレイ54を第2の向きにして電源をONしたタイミングでテレビモードとなり、自然な向きで番組表示を行うことができる。 The trigger for switching the display mode may be a combination of the orientations of the display 54. For example, the switching trigger may be that the display 54 changes from the first direction to the second direction and accepts the operation input of turning on the power. As a result, when the user turns the display 54 in the second direction and turns on the power, the television mode is set and the program can be displayed in a natural direction.
[第4の実施の形態] [Fourth Embodiment]
 なお、第1の実施の形態~第3の実施の形態では、ミラーモードのときには広告は配信されず、テレビモードのときのみ広告が配信されるものとしている。すなわち、ミラーモードでは広告は表示されない。しかしながら、他の例として、ミラーモードのときに広告が配信されてもよい。例えば、プロセッサ51はカメラ57による撮影画像を解析し、予め規定したオブジェクトが含まれる場合には管理サーバ1に広告を要求してもよい。予め規定したオブジェクトは、例えば、帽子やアクセサリーなどの特定の服飾品、などである。これにより、ミラーモードにおいても効果的に広告を表示することができる。 Note that in the first to third embodiments, the advertisement is not delivered in the mirror mode, and the advertisement is delivered only in the television mode. That is, no ads are displayed in mirror mode. However, as another example, the advertisement may be served in the mirror mode. For example, the processor 51 may analyze the image captured by the camera 57 and request an advertisement from the management server 1 if a predetermined object is included. Predefined objects are, for example, certain clothing items such as hats and accessories. As a result, the advertisement can be effectively displayed even in the mirror mode.
[第5の実施の形態] [Fifth Embodiment]
 第1通信装置53が通信網3にアクセスできないとき、表示装置5は管理サーバ1から広告の配信を受けることがない。この場合、表示装置5では、テレビモードにおいて広告が表示されない。そのため、表示装置5は、少なくともテレビモードにおいては常に通信網3にアクセス可能な状態であることが望ましい。 When the first communication device 53 cannot access the communication network 3, the display device 5 does not receive the advertisement from the management server 1. In this case, the display device 5 does not display the advertisement in the television mode. Therefore, it is desirable that the display device 5 is always accessible to the communication network 3 at least in the television mode.
 そこで、第5の実施の形態に係る機器5は、図3に示されたように、プロセッサ51は、メモリ52に記録されているテレビモード用プログラム522に従うことによって、さらに、動作制御処理518を実行する。動作制御処理518によって、第5の実施の形態にかかる表示装置5では、少なくともテレビモードにおいて、通信網3を介して管理サーバ1に接続されていない期間、表示装置5の少なくとも一部機能が制限される。 Therefore, in the device 5 according to the fifth embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the processor 51 further performs the operation control process 518 by following the television mode program 522 recorded in the memory 52. Run. In the display device 5 according to the fifth embodiment, at least a part of the functions of the display device 5 are restricted by the operation control process 518 during the period when the display device 5 is not connected to the management server 1 via the communication network 3 at least in the television mode. Will be done.
 管理サーバ1と通信可能な状態にないとは、第1通信装置53が通信網3にアクセスできない状態を指し、例えば、第1通信装置53の電源がOFFのときなどである。一部機能は、例えば、テレビ表示である。また、一部機能は、音声出力など、他の機能であってもよい。これにより、管理サーバ1の表示装置5に対する広告配信が成功しやすくなる。 The state in which communication with the management server 1 is not possible means a state in which the first communication device 53 cannot access the communication network 3, for example, when the power supply of the first communication device 53 is OFF. Some functions are, for example, television displays. Further, some functions may be other functions such as audio output. As a result, the advertisement delivery to the display device 5 of the management server 1 becomes easy to succeed.
[第6の実施の形態] [Sixth Embodiment]
 なお、第1の実施の形態~第5の実施の形態においては、テレビモードでテレビ表示と広告表示とを行うものとしているが、テレビ表示以外については広告に限定されず、テレビとは異なる情報表示であればどのような情報であってもよい。テレビと異なる情報は、例えば、絵画(美術品の映像)や、世界のエンターテイメントショーなどであってよい。
図11に示すように、入力装置55やリモコン6を用いて、ディスプレイ54に表示された複数のテレビと異なる情報の中からユーザ自身が表示させたいテレビと異なる情報(例えば、絵画1と絵画2)を選択して、左側の領域22に絵画1を表示させ、右側の領域22に絵画2を表示させてもよい。これにより、ユーザは自身で選択して好きな絵画1と絵画2のテレビと異なる情報を画面に表示させることができる。
In the first to fifth embodiments, the television display and the advertisement display are performed in the television mode, but the information other than the television display is not limited to the advertisement and is different from the television. Any information may be displayed as long as it is displayed. Information different from television may be, for example, paintings (images of works of art), entertainment shows around the world, and the like.
As shown in FIG. 11, using the input device 55 and the remote controller 6, information different from the television displayed by the user himself / herself from among the information different from the plurality of televisions displayed on the display 54 (for example, painting 1 and painting 2) ) May be selected to display the painting 1 in the left area 22 and the painting 2 in the right area 22. As a result, the user can select and display information different from the favorite painting 1 and painting 2 televisions on the screen.
 テレビと異なる情報は、広告に替えて表示されてもよい。又は、広告とともに、表示されてもよい。例えば、図5の例の場合、右側の領域22に広告を表示し、左側の領域22にテレビと異なる情報を表示してもよい。又は、テレビと異なる情報は、広告とともに、時間を異ならせて表示されてもよい。例えば、所定の時間間隔で交互に表示されてもよい。 Information different from TV may be displayed instead of advertisement. Alternatively, it may be displayed together with the advertisement. For example, in the case of the example of FIG. 5, the advertisement may be displayed in the area 22 on the right side, and information different from that of the television may be displayed in the area 22 on the left side. Alternatively, information different from that of the television may be displayed at different times together with the advertisement.
