[0001] SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SEARCHING AND RECORDING INFORMATION OF SPECIFIC SEATS [0002]

The present invention relates to a system for inquiring and reserving information of a specific seat from a remote location, and more particularly, to a system for searching for information of a certain place from a remote place without visiting a predetermined place based on a location information system and a search function of the smart device The present invention relates to a system and method for inquiring and reserving information on specific seats remotely, which provides a user with an inconvenience to secure a seat by providing a seat, and at the same time,

According to a survey by the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) in 2014, 45 to 2 percent of PCs were selected as places where people aged 9 to 49 use leisure time.

The PC room market has been steadily increasing with the development of the domestic game industry. It is expected to expand to around 1.7 trillion won by 2015, along with the growth of the game market related to the domestic PC room. In addition, expectations for growth in the PC room market have been rising further as companies announce the win-win strategy with PC games in large-scale domestic game development and distribution companies.

However, in the case of peak hours, weekends, holidays, or weekday evenings, PC users are suffering from lack of seating. In other words, those who play in the PC room tend to visit several people at the same time and enjoy the game together. Among the people who have used the PC room, the experience of playing games apart from friends or acquaintances due to lack of seating Or there is a problem related to the use of the user's PC room seats such as a large number of users who have experienced the transfer of the PC room more than once due to a lack of desired seat position or number of seats. That is, there is a problem that it is more difficult for the PC room users at the peak time to visit the PC room together to secure a plurality of seats close to each other and play the game. In order to overcome such a problem, it is necessary to check whether the user can directly visit the PC room and secure the desired seat position or the number of seats. If the user does not meet the requirement, he must visit another PC room and check again, There is a problem that it is inconvenient to the user.

Accordingly, there is a demand for development of an application program related to providing a service that allows a user to confirm seat information of a nearby PC room without visiting the PC room directly.

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a system for inquiring and reserving information of a specific seat at a remote location according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a system for inquiring and reserving information of a specific seat remotely (hereinafter referred to as a "smart seat reservation system") includes a user terminal 10 (Hereinafter, referred to as an 'information provider terminal') which is provided in a PC room and provides seating information, specifications of a provided PC, A smart seat reservation system server 30 (hereinafter, referred to as a smart seat reservation system server), and a network 40. The hub platform server 30 manages the payment of reservation information by providing seat information, game information and the like of the PC room. The smart seat reservation system server 30 may include a controller 30a and a DB 30b.

The seat reservation terminal 10 receives a membership registration procedure guide, a usage guide, and a notice from the smart seat reservation system server 30 through the network 40, and moves to the main menu after membership registration to provide various information Receive. Here, various information may include various information such as game related news, new game information, and a game related column in addition to the PC room information.

The information provider terminal 20 is provided with a membership registration procedure guide, a usage guide, a notice, and the like from the smart seat reservation system server 30 through the network 40. After proceeding to membership registration, the information provider terminal 20 moves to the main menu, Information is provided. At this time, according to the application for the reservation of the seat, a screen for displaying the payment approval and the reservation of the seat can be provided.

The smart seat reservation system server 30 connects the seat reservation terminal 10 and the information provider terminal 20 via the network 40. The seat reservation terminal 10 or the information provider terminal 20 processes the information input from the plurality of terminals and the requested information in real time through the control unit 30a included in the smart seat reservation system server 30, Various contents such as game holding status, standby status, game related information, and the like in each PC can be provided.

The network 40 may be a large communication network capable of a large capacity data service, a synchronous mobile communication network, or an asynchronous mobile communication network. As an embodiment of the asynchronous mobile communication network, a WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) communication network is exemplified. In this case, although not shown in the drawings, the network 40 may include a Radio Network Controller (RNC). Meanwhile, although the WCDMA network is used as an example, it may be a next generation communication network such as a 3G LTE network or a 4G network, or an IP network based on other IP. At this time, the network 40 transmits signals and data between the seat reservation terminal 10, the information provider terminal 20, the smart seat reservation system server 30, and other systems.

2 is a flowchart showing a method of inquiring and reserving a seat using the smart seat reservation system of FIG.

1 and 2, the seat reservation terminal 10 or the information provider terminal 20 accesses the smart seat reservation system server 30 via the network 40 and inputs basic member information do. The member information to be input at this time is, for example, a mobile phone number used by a user, local information for accessing a seat, a user name, and other information for personal identification for reservation of a seat. So that the seat can be inquired and reserved at a later time (step 110a).
