Description

Travel package distribution system {A package tour distribution system}

The present invention relates to a travel goods distribution service, and more particularly, to provide travel goods raw material price information and tourist information from a raw material travel goods provider such as Land, Air, Lodging, or Transport from an intranet or a cyber network program such as GroupWare. A travel product planner, such as a planned travel agency / travel agency, organizes the travel product in real time, and provides the product price / option / tourism information and a series of distribution sales to a travel product buyer such as a general travel agency or a customer in real time through a cyber network. To do so, relates to a travel goods distribution system.

In recent years, access to a database is obtained from a vehicle loading terminal mounted on a vehicle or a portable terminal that can be carried freely, and the necessary information is provided in consideration of traffic jams, reservations for entertainment facilities, restaurants, etc. A communication system capable of providing guide information for various services has been proposed.

This communication system is combined with a navigation system that shows on the map information holding the current location and destination recognizable as a current position detection sensor such as GPS or azimuth sensor, and indicates a recommended and recommended travel route from the current location to the destination. By doing so, the information required by the user can be effectively provided.

According to this navigation system, it is possible to move to the optimum travel route while receiving various services, and it is possible to plan an appropriate travel plan and travel schedule before departure by inputting a desired destination or date and time in advance, and more comfortable. Driving can be realized.

In addition, as another navigation system, a device for searching for a facility that can arrive within a limited time and providing the user with the information is also proposed.

For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-55484 discloses a navigation system that indicates a range that can be reached by remaining fuel while suggesting a range or route that can be reached within an input time while referring to map data or congestion data. It is.

According to this navigation system, it is possible to easily grasp the reachability of the destination, so that the user can make a more detailed travel plan based on this information.

However, since the information collected using the navigation system as described above is information such as departure time and arrival time, or reservation information or reachability of each visited place such as a waypoint or destination, it is necessary to make a travel plan. In the middle of a travel plan, there was a problem that it was difficult to grasp the time relationship between information and the overall appearance of the travel plan.

For example, if you obtain information that you can arrive at a single place of visit, you may not be able to include all the places of visit within the length of time you intend to travel and for the entire time you intend to travel. In some cases, the arrival of the visit place may be concentrated at certain times.

As a result, the trip plan became incomplete without being completed.

In such a case, it is necessary to correct the visit place, but it is difficult to judge which visit place should be adjusted, and there is a problem that it is complicated to prepare a travel plan.

In addition, there is a problem that it is easy to make a judgment error that improperly adjusts or releases the visit place to be visited when adjusting the plan, and the preparation time is cumbersome and the creation time increases.

In order to solve the above problem, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H5-313583 discloses a navigation system in which a traveler (shipper of a cargo) inputs the addresses of a plurality of destinations, thereby providing the shortest route that can efficiently traverse the input destination. An apparatus is disclosed.

In addition, a travel plan preparation device is also proposed which prepares a travel plan including a desired destination before starting a travel using such a navigation device.

According to this travel planning device, it is possible to calculate the time required to reach a destination by using the recommended route from the travel history or the traffic history information of the recommended route, and to reflect the travel time schedule in the travel plan. A travel plan suitable for your trip.

However, the travel plan preparation device using the above-described navigation device has a problem that the traveler cannot reach a predetermined destination at a desired time since the shortest route is presented so as to efficiently travel the input destination. .

For example, if a traveler wishes to see the sun sinking in the ocean after playing at an amusement park, and enters a destination, ie, "OO Amusement Park" or "OO Coastal Observatory," In the morning, a travel plan to visit the observatory may be made, or a travel plan to visit the amusement park after the closing of the park is made, and the travel plan may become meaningless.

In order to solve the above-mentioned irrationality, it is possible to consider inputting a time to be visited at the same time as input of the visited facility. However, input of the visited time for each visited facility is complicated and the appropriate operation time. There is a case that cannot be easily inputted.

For example, the closing time of a facility may vary depending on the day of the week or the season, and the time to see the sun sinking in the sea depends on the time and place of viewing. There was a problem that it was not necessary to easily obtain the optimal time, so that it was not possible to efficiently create travel plans.

In addition, in order to carry out a pleasant trip with less fatigue, meals, rest, and in some cases accommodation are necessary at an appropriate timing.

However, when creating a travel plan, the traveler inputs information centering on a desired destination, so that if the purpose is not a meal or a break, detailed information about a meal or a rest is not entered or the input is forgotten. Many cases have occurred.

As a result, when the planned travel plan is actually executed, inconveniences such as time spent on meals or breaks may not be reached until the originally scheduled time, and the comfort of the travel is deteriorated. There was a problem that the plan could not be carried out smoothly.

In order to solve the above problems, even when the input operation is performed based on the simple information about the destination, the travel time schedule can be formulated to reach the destination as scheduled, and the travel plan can be easily and quickly realized. The device for preparing a travel plan was previously registered on October 20, 1999 under the registration number 10-239297.

However, the above-described travel plan creation device has an inconvenience of having to check and book information such as traffic, accommodation, etc. according to the travel destination by the individual planning the travel.

In order to solve the above problems, the travel products selected by the travel agency, etc. are planned and sold to travel according to the schedule according to the travel products.

Here, the travel product sold by the travel agency is a way that a planned travel company that receives raw material product information from the land companies sells the raw material travel product in association with the option to make it a travel product and sells it to a general travel company. It is a system to make travel products by advertising and listing them in newspapers or magazines, and to sell them through publicity of newspapers and magazines.

Therefore, it takes a lot of time, manpower and financial costs to make and sell goods from the land company to a planned travel agency, it is difficult to respond in real time, there was a problem that can not form a channel with the customer directly.

Therefore, the present invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the cyber goods such as intranet or groupware from the travel goods raw material price information and tourist destination information from the raw material travel product provider such as Land, Air, Lodging, Transportation, etc. Provided by the network program, the travel product planners, such as the planned travel agency / travel agency, organize the travel products in real time, and sell the product prices / options / tour information and a series of distribution sales to the travel product buyers such as general travel agencies or customers through the cyber network. The purpose is to provide a travel product distribution system that can be provided in real time.
