BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the software installation system and installation method according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the embodiments described below, the software installation system and installation method according to the present invention will be described in detail. However, the installation program and recording medium according to the present invention are programs for operating the software installation system. And because it is a recording medium, its description is included in the following description.
【0022】
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a software installation system according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, in the installation system of the present embodiment, a user-side computer (hereinafter referred to as "user PC") corresponding to a computer terminal within the scope of claims that can use a recording medium 1 such as a CD-ROM or a DVD. .) 2 and the advertisement distribution server 3 corresponding to the server device are connected via the network 4. Then, while the software is installed on the user PC2 using the recording medium 1 in which a series of files such as an installation program and a DLL file are stored, the user PC2 receives the advertisement data from the advertisement distribution server 3 and advertises. View or play. It is desirable that the advertisement data transmitted from the advertisement distribution server 3 to the user PC 2 always has the latest contents as an advertisement in terms of advertisement effectiveness.
【0023】
The series of files stored in the recording medium 1 of the present embodiment includes URL information in addition to the installation program and various DLL files. The URL information is information representing the address of the distribution source of the advertisement data, and specifically, is text data indicating the address of the advertisement distribution server 3 and the directories and files in the server.
【0024】
Further, the advertisement data transmitted from the advertisement distribution server 3 may be any data such as video streaming data, image data, audio data, and character data. However, in addition to using the functions of the application (software) pre-installed on the user PC2, the processing required to display or play the data as an advertisement is performed by the installation program stored in the recording medium 1. It may be executed by the installation program if it contains the required functions.
【0025】
Hereinafter, the software installation method using the installation system will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a software installation method according to the present invention.
【0026】
First, the user inserts the recording medium 1 into the CD-ROM drive or the like of the user PC2. Then, the installation is automatically started, or the executable file (setup.exe) stored in the recording medium 1 is executed to start the installation (step S1). Next, the user PC 2 requests the advertisement distribution server 3 to distribute the advertisement data by referring to the URL information stored in the recording medium 1. That is, the user PC 2 transmits an advertisement distribution request to the advertisement distribution server 3 via the network 4 (step S2).
【0027】
When the advertisement distribution server 3 receives the advertisement distribution request (step S3), the advertisement data corresponding to the request is acquired (step S4), and then the advertisement data is transmitted to the user PC 2 via the network 4 (step S5). .. When the user PC2 receives the advertisement data (step S6), it processes the advertisement data and displays the advertisement (step S7). User PC2 monitors whether the installation started in step S1 is completed (step S8), and if the installation is ongoing (NO in step S8), it continues to receive the advertisement data and the installation is completed. If (YES in step S8), proceed to step S9.
【0028】
In step S9, the user PC 2 requests the advertisement distribution server 3 to end the distribution of the advertisement data. That is, the user PC 2 transmits an advertisement distribution end request to the advertisement distribution server 3 via the network 4. Then, the user PC2 finishes the installation (step S10). On the other hand, when the advertisement distribution server 3 receives the advertisement distribution end request transmitted from the user PC 2 via the network 4 (step S11), the advertisement distribution server 3 ends the transmission of the advertisement data in response to the request (step S12).
【0029】
As explained above, according to the software installation system and installation method, as long as the advertisement distribution server 3 always prepares the latest advertisement data, the latest advertisement data is delivered to the user PC 2, and therefore the installation is in progress. The latest advertisement is always displayed or played on the user PC2 during installation regardless of the distribution time of the recording medium 1. Therefore, even if the user installs an older version of the software that is not the latest version, the advertisement displayed or played during the installation will be the advertisement with the content related to the latest version. As a result, the advertising effectiveness can be enhanced.
【0030】
In the present embodiment, the installation is performed using the recording medium 1, but the installation program or the like may be downloaded in advance via the network and the installation may be performed using the installation program or the like. Even in this case, the same effect can be obtained.
【0031】
[Effect of the invention]
As described above, according to the software installation program, installation method and installation system according to the present invention, and the recording medium, only when the data held by the server device is the latest content, the passage of time has passed. Regardless, you can always view or play the latest content during installation. In particular, if the content to be displayed or played is related to software advertisements, even if an older version of the software is installed, advertisements related to the latest version will be displayed or played during the installation. The effect can be enhanced.
