Each of the reservation acceptor terminal 3 and the reservation applicant terminal 4 is configured to be able to communicate with the reservation processing server 2 via the network N.

The reservation acceptor terminal 3 is a terminal device used by a service provider as a reservation acceptor who accepts event reservations to be described later. Businesses that can be reservation recipients are business types and business types.

The reservation applicant terminal 4 is a terminal device used as a reservation applicant who applies for a reservation of an event by a user who receives service provision.

Any event can be used if it can be reserved. For example, the event can be specified by reservation event information generated by setting a reservation frame. Details of the reservation event information will be described later. The method of setting the reservation frame can be determined according to the reservation reception type, for example. As the reservation reception type, for example, a preset type and a free reception type described later can be employed. The reservation reception type may be other types and can be arbitrarily adopted.

The pre-setting type is a method for accepting a reservation from a reservation applicant using a reservation frame set in advance by a reservation receiver. The free reception type is a method of accepting a reservation from a reservation applicant by causing the reservation applicant to set a desired reservation frame within the service provision time set by the reservation receiver.

* Before setting a reservation frame, the reservation receptionist registers, for example, the following items. Menu items that specify the contents of the service provided by the reservation recipient, resource items that serve as resources (for example, people, equipment, equipment, etc.) when providing the service, resource group items to which resources can belong, reservation capacity items , Reservation available date and time items, fee items.

In the pre-set type, for example, the reservation acceptor sets a reservation frame by setting a menu item and a time zone for providing a service corresponding to the menu item.

In the free reception type, for example, the reservation reception person sets the service provision time, and the reservation applicant sets the desired time slot from the service provision time.

In the present embodiment, the reservation acceptor terminal 3 and the reservation applicant terminal 4 are described assuming a PC (personal computer), but the present invention is not limited to this. As the reservation acceptor terminal 3 and the reservation applicant terminal 4, for example, a notebook PC, a tablet terminal, a smartphone, a mobile phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), and other terminal devices can be used as appropriate.

The reservation processing server 2 is configured by, for example, a computer having high calculation processing capability, and a server function is realized by a predetermined server program operating on the computer. Here, the number of computers constituting the reservation processing server 2 is not necessarily one, and may be composed of a plurality of computers distributed on the network N.

The network N includes a communication network capable of transmitting / receiving information to / from the reservation processing server 2, the reservation acceptor terminal 3, and the reservation applicant terminal 4. The network N may be, for example, the Internet, a LAN, a dedicated line, a telephone line, a corporate network, a mobile communication network, Bluetooth, WiFi (WirelessWireFidelity), other communication lines, a combination thereof, It does not matter whether it is wired or wireless.

As shown in FIG. 2, the reservation processing server 2 includes, for example, a processor 20, a communication interface 21, and a storage resource 22.

The processor 20 includes an arithmetic and logic unit that processes arithmetic operations, logical operations, bit operations, and the like, and various registers, and executes various computer functions stored in the storage resource 22 to realize various functions to be described later. To do. The various registers are, for example, a program counter, a data register, an instruction register, a general-purpose register, and the like.

The physical device is a computer-readable recording medium such as a disk drive or a semiconductor memory. The storage resource 22 may be constructed by mapping a plurality of physical devices to one logical device, or may be constructed by mapping one physical device to a plurality of logical devices. A computer program 220 is stored in the storage resource 22.

In addition to the computer program 220, the storage resource 22 stores an operating system program, a driver program, various data, and the like used for the processing of the reservation processing server 2. Examples of the driver program include a communication interface driver program for controlling the communication interface 21. The various data includes, for example, reservation event information 222 related to an event to be registered that is registered by a reservation acceptor, reservation information 223 input by a reservation applicant, and the like.

The computer program 220 is a program for performing a predetermined process, and includes a plurality of software modules that are appropriately called and executed during the operation of the main program of the reservation processing server 2. Each software module is a subprogram modularized to execute a specific process, and is created using, for example, a procedure, a subroutine, a method, a function, a data structure, and the like.

The computer program 220 illustratively has a reservation processing module 221. In the following, functions realized by executing the reservation processing module 221 will be described.

The reservation processing module 221 receives the account registration of the reservation receiver. When the reservation acceptor starts using the reservation processing system 1, the reservation acceptor operates the reservation acceptor terminal 3 to access a predetermined Web page of the reservation processing server 2, and registers the reservation acceptor's account. In account registration, for example, information related to a reservation receptionist such as a user ID, a password, an e-mail address, a name, a type of business, and a business type is registered.

The reservation processing module 221 causes the reservation receiver who has registered an account to register reservation event information 222 regarding an event to be reserved. The reserved event information 222 includes, for example, event identification information for identifying an event, an event genre, an event providing location, an event providing time, an event fee, and the like.

The event identification information includes, for example, an event ID and an event name.

The genre of the event can be set, for example, for each type of business / business category or for each type of offer. Specifically, each dish provided at a restaurant, hospital, school, fitness, restaurant (for example, provided at a soba restaurant) Tempura soba and zaru soba). A plurality of hierarchies can be arbitrarily provided for each genre. For example, when the genre is a restaurant, restaurants, cafes, taverns, etc. are provided as lower layers of restaurants, and Japanese, Chinese, Western, etc. are provided as lower layers of restaurants. As a lower hierarchy, a sushi restaurant, a soba restaurant, a tempura restaurant, and the like can be provided.

The reservation processing module 221 presents candidate events that can be reserved together to the reservation applicant who operates the reservation applicant terminal 4. The procedure for presenting candidates for events that can be reserved together to the reservation applicant will be described below.

First, the reservation processing module 221 allows the reservation applicant to specify a search condition for specifying events that can be reserved together. As a search condition, for example, a search start condition, a search end condition, and a plurality of genres to be reserved can be provided.

Here, the search starting condition is a condition for specifying the starting point of the search. As the search start condition, for example, the time and place where the search starts can be set. The search end point condition is a condition for specifying the end point of the search. As the search end point condition, for example, the time and place that become the end point of the search can be set.

Subsequently, the reservation processing module 221 refers to the reservation event information 222 based on the search condition designated by the reservation applicant, and identifies events that can be reserved together by the reservation applicant. Specifically, the reservation processing module 221 selects an event that can be reserved from the reservation event information 222 based on the search start condition and search end condition specified by the reservation applicant, and the reservation applicant By narrowing down to events corresponding to each of a plurality of specified genres, events that can be reserved together are specified.

More specifically, the reservation processing module 221 calculates a travel time required to travel between the respective locations based on the search start location, the search end location, and the location that provides one or more events. The reservation processing module 221 specifies events that can be collectively reserved based on the search start time, the search end time, the time for providing the event, and the calculated travel time. Specifically, the reservation processing module 221 specifies events that can be reserved together by the following procedures (1) to (3).
(1) The range of the area to be searched is calculated based on the travel time, the search start time, the search end time, and the time for providing the event. (2) Events provided in the range of the search target area, corresponding to a plurality of genres specified by the reservation applicant, and events that can be reserved from the search start time to the search end time, It is detected from the reservation event information 222. (3) Among the detected events, a combination of a plurality of events satisfying a plurality of genres specified by the search start condition, the search end condition, and the reservation applicant is specified as an event that can be reserved together.

Subsequently, the reservation processing module 221 presents the plurality of identified events to the reservation applicant as candidate events that can be reserved together.

Thereafter, the reservation processing module 221 receives reservations for a plurality of events presented to the reservation applicant from the reservation applicant terminal 4.

The reservation processing module 221 manages reservations for a plurality of events received from the reservation applicant terminal 4 as a single reservation. This will be specifically described below.

First, the reservation processing module 221 includes a batch reservation unit reservation ID (first identification ID) for collectively specifying reservations for a plurality of events received from the reservation applicant terminal 4 as one reservation, and the plurality of events. An event unit reservation ID (second identification ID) for individually specifying reservations for the event is issued and added to information related to reservations of the plurality of events.

Subsequently, the reservation processing module 221 associates the information related to the reservation after adding the batch reservation unit reservation ID and the event unit reservation ID with the information related to the reservation applicant, and sets the reservation processing server 2 as one reservation information 223. Stored in the storage resource 22.

Next, with reference to FIG. 3, a function for specifying a search condition for specifying events that can be reserved together will be described in detail.

FIG. 3 is an example of a search screen 41 displayed on the reservation applicant terminal 4. The search screen 41 is provided with a time input field C11 for inputting a search start time serving as a search start condition C1, and a place input field C12 for inputting a search start place.

In the time entry field C11, any time after the current time can be entered. When inputting the time after the next day, the target date may be specified. In addition to the time input field C11, an optional function may be provided to specify that the current time is used as the search start time. If the current time is specified, the search may be performed using the time when the search button B1 is pressed (selected, clicked, tapped).

In the location input field C12, information for specifying the search start location is entered. Examples of the information specifying the location include an address, a facility name, and latitude / longitude. When inputting a place, it is good also as displaying a map and making a reservation applicant specify a place. In addition to the location input field C12, an optional function may be provided to specify that the current location is used as the search starting location. The current position can be specified using a system for measuring a position such as GPS (Global Positioning System). When it is designated to use the current position, the search may be performed using the position measured when the search button B1 is pressed.

Further, the search screen 41 is provided with a time input column C21 for inputting a search end point time as a search end point condition C2 and a location input column C22 for inputting a search end point location.

In the time input field C21, an arbitrary time after the search start time can be input. When inputting the time after the next day, the target date may be specified.

In the location input field C22, information for specifying the search end point location is entered. Examples of the information specifying the location include an address, a facility name, and latitude / longitude. When inputting a place, it is good also as displaying a map and making a reservation applicant specify a place. In addition to the location input field C22, as a search end point location, an optional function for designating a specific location registered in advance by a reservation applicant such as a home or work, or an optional function for designating to use the current location It is good also as providing.

Also, the search screen 41 is provided with genre selection fields C33 to C35 for selecting each genre to be a plurality of genres C3 to be reserved. Events corresponding to the respective genres selected in the genre selection fields C33 to C35 are searched.

Note that the number of genre selection fields is not limited to three, and for example, an add button or the like may be provided, and the genre selection field may be arbitrarily added by pressing the add button. As a result, the reservation applicant can specify and search without leaving the desired genre.

Next, with reference to FIG. 4, the function of presenting events that can be reserved together will be described in detail.

FIG. 4 is an example of a reservation candidate presentation screen 42 displayed on the reservation applicant terminal 4. On the reservation candidate presentation screen 42, reservation candidates based on a plurality of events specified from the events searched on the search screen 41 of FIG. 3 are displayed as candidates of “events that can be reserved together”.

When there are a plurality of reservation candidates, for example, a plurality of reservation candidates can be displayed side by side (including scroll display) on the reservation candidate presentation screen 42. Not limited to this, each of a plurality of reservation candidates may be displayed as a list, and one reservation candidate selected from the list may be displayed on the reservation candidate presentation screen 42. Alternatively, a plurality of reservation candidates may be confirmed by assigning a tab of the reservation candidate presentation screen 42 for each reservation candidate, and selecting one of the tabs and switching the reservation candidate presentation screen 42. Further, when the number of reservation candidates is large, only the reservation candidates corresponding to the preset number may be displayed.

“Reservation Candidate 1” illustrated in FIG. 4 is designated as “Tokyo Station” at “10:00” as the search starting point, and “Shinjuku Station” at “15:00” as the end point of the search. In the meantime, “Yoga” or “Restaurant” is designated as the desired reservation genre, and the result is presented.

4. “Reservation candidate 1” in FIG. 4 includes an event “reservation a” and an event “reservation b” as events that can be reserved together.

“Reservation a” indicates that “Hot Yoga” performed at “Studio A” in “Shinagawa” from “11:00” to “12:00” can be reserved, and the charge is “3” “1,000 yen”.

“Reservation b” indicates that from “13:00” to “14:00”, “B restaurant”, which is a store of “Italian restaurant” in “Osaki”, can be reserved. It is exemplified that the average budget in Japan is “2,500 yen”.

“Reservation candidate 1” including the event “reservation a” and the event “reservation b” is identified as follows, for example.

First, “Tokyo Station” as the starting point, “Shinjuku Station” as the ending point, transportation means available between them (for example, train, bus, car, walking), “10:00” as the starting point, Then, using “15:00” as the end point time, the range of the area to be searched is calculated.

The range of the area may be calculated using a moving means with the shortest travel time, or may be calculated using a moving means selected by the reservation applicant. Alternatively, the area range may be calculated for each moving means, and the reservation applicant may be selected.

Next, events that belong to the genre “Yoga” or “Restaurant”, are provided in the calculated area, and there is a vacancy in the reservation frame from “10:00” to “15:00” Search for events.

Subsequently, a combination of a plurality of events that satisfy the search start condition, the search end condition, and the specified genre is selected from the detected events.

Thus, for example, a reservation candidate including an event “reservation a” and an event “reservation b” is specified as one of the events that can be reserved together.

Here, the method for specifying the event “reservation a” will be described in more detail. First, the travel time between “Tokyo Station” and “Studio A” is calculated. The travel time, the distance between “Tokyo Station” and “Studio A”, and the like can be used to calculate the travel time.

Subsequently, based on the calculated travel time, when “Tokyo Station” departs at “10:00”, the time zone that can arrive at “Studio A” is calculated. The arrival time may include a preparation time from arrival at “Studio A” until participation in the event as a margin time.

Subsequently, it is confirmed whether or not a free reservation frame exists in the calculated time zone, and as a result, an event of “reservation a” is specified.

The method for specifying the event “Reservation b” will be described in more detail. First, the travel time between “Studio A” and “B Ristorante” is calculated. For the calculation of the travel time, the travel means, the distance between “Studio A” and “B Ristorante”, and the like can be used.

Subsequently, based on the calculated travel time, when “Studio A” departs at “12:00”, the time zone that can arrive at “B Ristorante” is calculated. The arrival time may include the time from arrival at “B Ristorante” until guidance to the seat, etc., as a margin time.

Subsequently, it is confirmed whether or not an empty reservation frame exists in the calculated time zone, and as a result, an event of “reservation b” is specified.

“Reservation candidate 1” including the event “reservation a” and the event “reservation b” specified in this way is displayed on the reservation candidate presentation screen 42 shown in FIG. 4 and presented to the reservation applicant. On the reservation candidate presentation screen 42, the starting point of the search, the event of “reservation a”, the event of “reservation b”, and the end point of the search are displayed in time series, which is also effective for schedule confirmation.

The reservation applicant presses the “reservation” button B2 on the reservation candidate presentation screen 42 to make a reservation for the “reservation a” event and the “reservation b” event displayed on the reservation candidate presentation screen 42 together. can do.

Next, the function for managing reservations for a plurality of events will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating a batch reservation unit reservation ID and an event unit reservation ID issued by the reservation processing module 221 when an event “reservation a” and an event “reservation b” are reserved together. FIG.

FIG. 5 shows that “001” is issued as the collective reservation unit reservation ID for the information related to the event “reservation a” and the event “reservation b”. Also, “001-1” is issued as the event unit reservation ID for the information related to the event “reservation a”, and “001-2” is issued as the event unit reservation ID for the information related to the event “reservation b”. Indicates that

In this way, by issuing a collective reservation unit reservation ID and adding it to information related to the corresponding event, reservations for a plurality of events can be accurately determined as a single reservation. Further, by issuing an event unit reservation ID and adding it to the information related to the corresponding event, reservations for a plurality of events included in one reservation can be accurately determined for each event.

As described above, according to the reservation processing system 1 in the embodiment, a plurality of events respectively corresponding to a plurality of genres are presented to the user as events that can be reserved together, and reservations for the presented plurality of events are accepted. In order to manage reservations for a plurality of received events, one collective reservation unit reservation ID that specifies reservations for a plurality of events as one reservation and a plurality of individual specification for reservations for a plurality of events. The event unit reservation ID can be issued.

Therefore, according to the reservation processing system 1 in the embodiment, when a plurality of events of different genres are reserved together, a group of reservations including reservations for a plurality of events can be managed accurately. In the reservation process, reservations for events distributed in a plurality of genres can be centrally processed.

[Modification]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be implemented in various other forms without departing from the gist of the present invention. For this reason, the said embodiment is only a mere illustration in all points, and is not interpreted limitedly. For example, the above-described processes (steps) can be arbitrarily changed in order within the range where no contradiction occurs in the processing contents, or can be executed in parallel.

In the above-described embodiment, when managing reservations for a plurality of events, the batch reservation unit reservation ID and the event unit reservation ID are issued. However, the reservation ID to be issued is not limited to these. For example, a reservation reception unit reservation ID (third identification ID) that specifies reservations for a plurality of events received from the reservation applicant terminal 4 for each predetermined reservation reception unit may be issued. As the predetermined reservation reception unit, for example, a store unit, an arbitrary group unit in which a plurality of stores (partial or all events can be specified for each store) can be used.

In the following, a modified example in the case where a store unit is adopted as a predetermined reservation reception unit will be described.

FIG. 6 illustrates reservation candidates in this modification. “Reservation Candidate 2” illustrated in FIG. 6 is designated as “Tokyo Station” at “10:00” as the search starting point, and “Shinjuku Station” at “15:00” as the end point of the search. In the meantime, “Yoga” or “Restaurant” is designated as the desired reservation genre, and the result is presented.

“Reservation candidate 2” in FIG. 6 includes an event “reservation c”, an event “reservation d”, and an event “reservation e” as events that can be reserved together.

“Reservation c” indicates that “Hot Yoga” performed at “Studio A” in “Shinagawa” from “10:40” to “11:40” can be reserved, and the charge is “3” “1,000 yen”.

“Reservation d” indicates that “Pilates” at “Studio A” in “Shinagawa” can be reserved from “11:50” to “12:50”, and the charge is “3”. “1,000 yen”.

“Reservation e” indicates that from “13:30” to “14:30”, “B restaurant”, which is a store of “Italian restaurant” in “Osaki”, can be reserved. It is exemplified that the average budget in Japan is “2,500 yen”.

When the “reservation” button B2 on the reservation candidate presentation screen 42 is pressed, the “reservation c” event, the “reservation d” event, and the “reservation e” event displayed on the reservation candidate presentation screen 42 are summarized. The reservation IDs shown in FIG. 7 are issued.

FIG. 7 shows that “002” is issued as a collective reservation unit reservation ID for information related to the event “reservation c”, the event “reservation d”, and the event “reservation e”. Also, “002-1-1” is issued as an event unit reservation ID for information related to the event “reservation c”, and “002-1-” is used as an event unit reservation ID for information related to the event “reservation d”. 2 ”is issued, indicating that“ 002-2-1 ”is issued as the event unit reservation ID for the information related to the event“ reservation e ”.

Furthermore, “002-1” is issued as the store unit reservation ID for the information related to the event “reservation c” and the event “reservation d” that are reservations for the same store, and “reservation e” that is a reservation for another store "002-2" is issued as the store unit reservation ID for the information regarding the event "".

In this way, in addition to the collective reservation unit reservation ID and the event unit reservation ID, the store unit reservation ID is issued and added to the information related to the corresponding event, so that reservations for a plurality of events included in one reservation can be made to the store. It is possible to accurately determine each.

Here, in the embodiment and the modification described above, a case where all of the batch reservation unit reservation ID, the event unit reservation ID, and the reservation reception unit reservation ID are issued has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. At least one of a batch reservation unit reservation ID, an event unit reservation ID, or a reservation reception unit reservation ID may be issued.

In the above-described embodiment, the reservation acceptor terminal 3 and the reservation applicant terminal 4 perform processing by accessing the Web page of the reservation processing server 2. However, it is not always necessary to access the Web page and perform processing. There is no. For example, the reservation acceptor terminal 3 and the reservation applicant terminal 4 may install a reservation processing application (hereinafter referred to as a reservation processing application) to realize various functions in the above-described reservation processing system. In this case, the reservation acceptor terminal 3 and the reservation applicant terminal 4 acquire the latest reservation event information and reservation information from the reservation processing server 2, execute reservation processing using the acquired latest information, and make a reservation. Data processed in the acceptor terminal 3 or the reservation applicant terminal 4 may be transmitted to the reservation processing server 2.

In the above-described embodiment, when a plurality of events are reserved together, the batch reservation unit reservation ID and the event unit reservation ID are individually issued. However, it is necessary to issue all IDs individually. Absent. For example, an event unit reservation ID may be issued, and an arbitrary ID associated with the event unit reservation ID may be assigned to the batch reservation unit reservation ID. Further, an arbitrary ID associated with the event unit reservation ID may be assigned to the store unit ID or the group unit ID of the arbitrary group unit.

In addition, the program in the embodiment is downloaded through various recording media (computer-readable recording media) such as an optical disk such as a CD-ROM, a magnetic disk, and a semiconductor memory, or via a communication network. Can be installed or loaded.
