DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mediation method for mediating services using a computer system, particularly providing accommodation, cooking, bidding and bidding on golf facilities.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A method of making a hotel reservation using a computer system is conventionally known. It is also known to perform an auction via a computer system, especially the Internet.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The inventor of the present invention has noticed that there is a specific problem when applying an auction via the Internet to reservations for hotels, golf courses and the like. The demand for hotels and golf courses depends on the season,
There are fluctuations depending on the day of the week, etc., and there are circumstances on the service provider side who want to increase the occupancy rate even if the price is slightly lowered during vacant periods. In that case, the service provider does not want to make the actual offer price very public. It is also desirable to provide services at the highest possible price in order to secure profits on the service provider side.

On the other hand, hotels that are usually expensive and cannot be used,
Even if it is a golf course, if there is experience available at a lower price, there is a tendency among general consumers to want to use it. It is desired from the openness of the Internet that such a consumer can use it easily without performing procedures such as registering the membership of the hotel or golf course. Also, it is preferable to handle a large number of hotels and golf courses at one site, rather than performing the cumbersome procedure of peeping at the website of each hotel and golf course.

[0005] Such requests from hotels and golf courses,
The inventor of the present invention considered that it would be desirable to provide a website on the Internet for mediating bidding and bidding to simultaneously satisfy the interests of general consumers. He finally came up with the idea of providing an intermediary method and procedure that could protect the financial interests of both the service provider and the consumer, as well as effectively protect the secret information of both parties.

An object of the present invention is to provide a bidding and bidding mediation method that effectively protects confidential information while satisfying the interests of both a service provider and a service recipient.

[0007]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems,
The present invention is a mediation method for mediating a bid and a successful bid for service provision by a computer system, and a service summary information registration step of prompting a service provider to register information visually indicating a service provision summary, Information indicating the details of the service content is information including the service provision date and time, which is public information to be disclosed to the consumer, and information including the service provision price, which is confidential information to be kept secret from the consumer. And a step of registering detailed service information for prompting registration.
Displaying a summary of service provision registered in the service summary information registration step and public information registered in the service detail information registration step, and a bidding step for prompting input of personal information and a bid price of the customer; If the bid price entered in the bidding stage is equal to or higher than the service offer price of the confidential information registered in the service detailed information registration stage, it is determined that the bid price has been awarded as a contract price. Judgment, issue a reservation number, and a successful bid judgment notification step of notifying the customer that the successful bid has been made and the reservation number, and thereafter, to the service provider, personal information of the successful bidder, It is characterized by having a successful bid information notifying step of notifying the service provider of the successful bid information including the price and the reservation number and prompting the service provider to contact the demander.

[0008] Preferably, the number of times that the same consumer can bid for the same kind of service provision at the same date and time is limited within a predetermined number.

[0009] Further, when the bid price is lower than the service providing price, it is preferable that the same consumer re-bid within a predetermined time is not accepted unless the previous bid price is more than a predetermined amount. .

[0010] It is desirable that a successful bidder be prohibited from bidding on another service offering of the same kind whose date and time conflict.

[0011] Further, preferably, it is possible to prompt the demander to answer a question item prepared in advance and supply the answer to the service provider.

[0012] The statistical information on the successful bid may be supplied to the service provider.

[0013] The result of compiling the answers to the questions can be made public to the consumer.

[0014] It is further preferable that the statistical information on the successful bid is also supplied to the demander.

[0015] Preferably, a difference calculating step of calculating a difference between the successful bid price and the service providing price, and a cost calculating step of calculating the cost of the bidding and successful bid intermediation based on the difference calculated in the difference calculating step. And a stage.

[0017]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Before describing embodiments of the present invention, the positioning of the present invention will be described. The service provider refers to an entity that provides services such as provision of accommodation facilities, provision of food and drink, and provision of golf course facilities. The consumer is a general public who knows the contents of services provided through the Internet or the like, makes a reservation to receive the services provided, and intends to receive the services provided. The intermediary method of the present invention is an intermediary which is located between a service provider and a general consumer, installs a server computer on a network, especially on the Internet, and seeks to gain by intermediating the two. Is the method that should be performed.

1: Overall Configuration Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the present embodiment. In this figure, reference numeral 10 denotes a server,
It is connected to the Internet NET via a route control device and a telephone line (or a dedicated line). Symbol 101, 10
Reference numerals 2,... Denote various terminals, which are connected to the Internet NET in the same manner as the server 10. Here, the terminal 10
Have input units such as a keyboard and a mouse, as well as display units such as a CRT and an LCD.

1-1: Server Configuration Next, a detailed configuration of the server 10 will be described. The server 10 can be configured by a general web server. CP
A control means such as U controls each unit, transfers data, performs various calculations, temporarily stores data, and the like. Further, it has input control means, output control means, storage means and the like.

The storage means includes a database for storing information of service contents, bid, successful bid information, reservation information and the like in addition to storing the main program.

2. Description of Operation Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. Here, the terminals 101, 102,... Are connected to the server 10 to perform communication, and each of them functions as a terminal of a general consumer or a terminal of a service provider. For convenience of explanation, the following description is made on the assumption that the terminal 101 is connected to the server 10. When the terminal 101 is connected to the server 10, the control means of the server 10 detects this connection via the input control means, and according to the main program, the terminal 1
01 (by changing the screen display of the terminal 101 to prompt the operator who operates the terminal to make an input.) FIGS. 2, 3, 14 and 15 show the operation of the main program of the server. It is a flowchart.

2-1: Registration on the Service Provider Side First, the process of registering information on the service provider side in the database will be described by taking a case of a hotel as an example. It is assumed that the terminal operator is a service provider with whom a contract has been made in advance.

2-1-1: Registration of Service Provision Contents First, in step S200 shown in FIG. 3, a hotel-side registration operation starts. In step S202, the server prompts the display unit of the terminal 101 to input an ID and a password. When the hotel operator who operates the terminal 101 inputs the information, it is checked in step S204 whether or not the information is a pre-registered hotel. If not correct, the user is prompted again for input (S20 in FIG. 3).
2). If it is correct, the process proceeds to S206, and a hotel control screen as shown in FIG. If "TOMETE" is selected, the process proceeds to the input screen shown in FIG. 5 (S208 in FIG. 3). On this screen, you can select the accommodation date from today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow (or it can be a longer period), room type, number of rooms, fixed price, offer fee, hotel homepage address And other information can be entered. When the terminal operator at the hotel inputs information to be input and presses the send button (clicks with a mouse or the like), a confirmation screen shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on the display screen of the terminal (S210). If there is a correction, the process returns to S208.
When the terminal operator on the hotel side confirms the display content and presses the registration button, the content is registered in the database on the server side. Of the above information, regarding the provision fee,
Preferably, the information is registered in the database as non-public information (information to be kept secret from general consumers). After the registration, the operation of registering the service provision contents ends (S21).
2). Although the description has been made on the assumption that the terminal operator is on the hotel side, there may be a modified embodiment in which an intermediary company that performs the intermediary method of the present invention substitutes for the registration business.

2-1-2: Change of Registered Procedure The procedure for changing the registered content once by the service provider is as follows.
This can be done by the hotel-side terminal operator selecting “confirmation / change of registration information” on the hotel control screen shown in FIG. In that case, the server searches the information registered in the database for the information registered by the hotel, that is, today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow (a modified embodiment having a long term is also possible). indicate. When the terminal operator selects an item to be changed, the server prompts for input of new information, accepts the change, and registers the new information in the database.

2-2: Bidding and Successful Bidding by General Consumers Next, how a general consumer bids and makes a successful bid will be described. A general consumer can connect to the server 10 by connecting to the Internet and accessing a website of an intermediary that implements the intermediation method according to the present invention. The flowchart shown in FIG. 2 shows the processing contents of the server 10 at that time. It is assumed that the general consumer has now connected to the server 10 from the terminal 102 and arrived at the web page of the mediation of the successful bid for the accommodation facility (S100 in FIG. 2). Then, the server 10 communicates with the terminal 10
A "hotel selection screen" as shown in FIG. 7 is displayed on the display screen 2 (S102). On this screen, only information (available information) that has not yet been awarded among the accommodation facilities registered in the database is displayed. General consumers can search and narrow down by information such as the date of stay, area, and hotel name among a vast amount of information. For general consumers, the server 10 shows information such as area, room type, and fixed price, but hides the provided fee. The accommodation facility availability information of each hotel is shown in strips one by one, and a bid button is provided at the end of each strip (FIG. 7).

2-2-1: Bidding When a general consumer selects and clicks on one of a plurality of bidding buttons, the display shifts to a bidding screen as shown in FIG. 8 (S104 in FIG. 2). The bid screen is a screen for inputting the amount (bid price) that the general consumer pays for this amount and wants to experience and stay. A note is displayed on the display screen saying, "Bids are limited to 5 times per person per hotel. No more bids will be accepted." If this limit is not set, for example, if the general consumer starts bidding at 1,000 yen and cannot make a bid, 10
By increasing the amount by 0 yen, it is easy to make a successful bid at a price that is not much different from the hotel offer fee. Here, whether or not they are the same person can be identified by, for example, an IP address. The hotel wants to make a profit by using it a little higher than the offered price, and as a mediator, the greater the difference between the offered price of the hotel and the winning bid, the more profits are produced. The limitation of times is provided. When the general consumer inputs the bid price and presses the "Bid" button, the server accepts the bid and proceeds to S106 (FIG. 2).

2-2-2: Successful bid The server determines whether or not the bid price input by the consumer is equal to or higher than the lowest bid price of the hotel price (S106). If the bid was not successful, the "sorry" screen of FIG. 9 is displayed, and if the amount is increased, there is still a possibility that the bid can be made.
It shows how many more challenges can be done, and provides a bid amount input field for re-challenge, and prompts for the bid amount again (FIG. 9). Here, once a successful bid has been made, it is desirable that, as a penalty, the consumer raises the lowest bid price that can be awarded in the next challenge. This is to make the offer price on the hotel side unclear. For example, if a successful bid cannot be made once, in the case of the next challenge, it is desirable to increase the successful bid price by 100 yen (or a predetermined amount such as 500 yen). As a result, a customer who gives priority to winning a bid is considered to input a higher bid amount, so that the profits on the hotel side and the intermediary side increase, and the interest on the consumer side also increases. However, this successful bid price increases only for the demander concerned, and when another demander makes a new challenge, it starts from the provided price set by the hotel.

If it is determined in S106 that the bid price is equal to or more than the successful bid price (the price that fluctuates with respect to the customer due to failure to make a successful bid), the server process proceeds to S108, and the process proceeds to S108. A reservation number is issued, and a successful bid screen is displayed (FIG. 10). On this successful bid screen, the customer is prompted to select one of the two methods as a procedure for finally confirming the customer and the hotel. One is a method in which a customer calls a hotel at a predetermined time (after about 10 minutes) (A), and the other is a method of entering personal information here and waiting for a contact from the hotel (B)
It is. The first consumer's own contact method is used, for example, when the consumer does not want to disclose personal information to the intermediary side. After selecting one of the above two procedures and inputting necessary personal information and pressing the confirm button, the server sends the fact that the contents of the accommodation facility has been sold to the database and registers it (S110). . This registration will be reflected in the form that it will not be displayed on the first hotel selection screen when another customer visits this website.

2-2-3: Display to General Consumer After Successful bid In step S108, when the consumer presses the confirmation button, if the customer is in the case of the method A, the method of FIG. In this case, the display of FIG. 12 is made, and it is displayed that one of the contacts with the hotel is to be made by the consumer and the other is to be made in a waiting state. It is noted that a reservation number is required in each case.

2-2-4: Notification of successful bid information to hotel The successful bid information is registered in the database, and at the same time, the successful bid information is transmitted to the FAX server in the Email format (S114). The fax server is not shown in FIG. The server 10 is different from the server 10.
It is provided as an independent computer capable of communicating with.
When the FAX server receives the successful bid information via Email, a necessary program on the FAX server side starts up, and converts the Email data into FAX data (S116). Then, the successful bid information is faxed to the hotel via the fax modem (S118). The e-mail transmission from the server 10 to the facsimile server, the data conversion by the facsimile server, and the facsimile transmission are all automatically performed, and the successful bid information is received by the facsimile machine of the hotel about 2 minutes at the earliest and 10 minutes later at the latest. You. An example of the facsimile contents is shown in FIG. The service offer contents that won the bid, personal information of the winning bidder (at least the reservation number), whether to make a call or wait for a telephone call, information on the contract price (in some cases, the commission of the intermediary, between the contract price and the offer price) Distribution of the difference). The method of allocating the difference between the winning bid and the offer price between the hotel and the intermediary is to be determined according to the conditions previously agreed between the hotel and the intermediary. The calculation process can be calculated according to a calculation formula when the server 10 performs the winning process.

2-2-5: Confirmation between Consumer and Hotel Information between the buyer and the hotel that made a successful bid is referred to the reservation number issued by the server 10 at the time of the successful bid, and information including the contract price is obtained. Confirmation and complete the reservation procedure. The server 10 eliminates inconsistent reservation procedures by not accepting a bid for a successful bidder to another hotel on the same day based on the IP address of the computer used when the consumer accesses the server. be able to. Further, the service of providing a meal in a restaurant or the like can be performed in the same manner as in the hotel.

[0032]

Next, a case where the present invention is applied to reservation of a golf course will be described. FIG. 14 shows a flowchart when the server 10 makes a reservation for a golf course. Since many parts are common to the flowchart shown in FIG. 2, different points will be described. In the hotel reservation shown in FIG. 2, the reservation procedure is finally completed by telephone communication between the customer and the hotel, but in the flowchart shown in FIG. 14, the reservation procedure is completed on the website. . The hotel reception staff is always staffed even at night and can receive facsimile and be ready to respond to it, whereas in the case of golf courses the staff returns home at night and it is said that it is unmanned This is based on the circumstances. In the case of a hotel, it is also possible to make a reservation in accordance with the flow of FIG. 14, and in the case of a golf course where facsimile reception is always possible, the flow of FIG. 2 is possible. In general, golf is mentioned here as an example of what would be more convenient to complete a reservation only on a website. By completing the golf reservation on the website, it is possible to make a reservation even on a Friday evening (midnight) in the course that starts on Saturday morning, and the golf course can be used effectively.

The successful bid process from S500 to S508 is almost the same as the process from S100 to S108 in FIG. 2. However, in the golf course selection screen (S18) in S502, not only the information on the golf courses that can be bid, but also The information of the successful bid is also displayed together with the reservation number and the date and time of the successful bid. Therefore, the general consumer who has won the bid returns to this page again and fetches new information from the database (for example, presses the update button of the Internet browser), so that the date and time when the successful bid is made and the reservation number are displayed. You can confirm the fact that the bid has been made. Thereby, even after the golf course has been shut down the night before, the reservation can be made surely, and the next morning can be headed to the golf course with confidence.

As shown in FIG. 21, when a successful bid is made, a representative name, a reading, a contact telephone number, and other player names are entered, and the successful bid information including these information is entered. The fax is transmitted to the golf course (S518 in FIG. 14). Therefore, the golf course can wait for the customer with confidence.

FIG. 15 shows a flow of registering the contents of services provided at a low cost by a golf course which has been contracted and registered in advance with a company that implements the mediation method. This is almost the same as the registration operation on the hotel side in FIG. In S608, information such as the play date, the start time, and the presence / absence of a caddy is registered. FIG. 16 shows an input screen on the golf course side, and FIG. 17 shows a list screen of input results. In the case of the above-mentioned hotel, it is mentioned that proxy registration and proxy input by an intermediary agent are possible, but in the case of a golf course, the necessity is considered to be even higher. This is because golf courses are generally considered to have a lower Internet penetration rate than hotels. In addition, golf courses may offer less expensive course access for long-term experience use, not just within 48 hours today, tomorrow, or tomorrow. This is because a golf competition is performed by a plurality of people, and it is considered that a sufficient period is required for adjusting the schedule with other members.

FIG. 18 is a golf course selection screen which is viewed when a general consumer who wants to use the golf course at low cost and experience is visited when visiting this intermediary site. As described above, information on a successful bid is also displayed. A customer who wants to make a new reservation can select only the bid button displayed and bid. The procedures and processes for bidding and bidding are the same as those for hotels.

FIG. 19 is an input screen for inputting a bid amount, FIG. 20 is a screen for prompting input again when a successful bid is failed, and FIG. 21 is a screen for prompting input of personal information when a successful bid is made. FIG. 22 shows a screen indicating that the reservation has been completed after the server acquires the personal information after the successful bid. Although omitted in FIG. 22, a message urging the user to return to the screen in FIG. 18 and press the update button of the browser to confirm the successful bid information again can be added to FIG.

Here, the application for playing the golf course is 3
It is common to enter more than one party member and apply at the same time. However, a selection screen for golf courses that allow only a small number of golfers, such as one or two, to participate in golf may be separately provided on the mediation site so that individuals and small groups can participate in golf. By using this selection screen, it becomes possible for other unknown participants to form a party and play golf. On this selection screen, for example, an entry is provided in which a person accessing the mediation site can apply for golf individually. If necessary, the number of persons who have already applied and the number of persons who can participate may be displayed so that it is possible to confirm how many persons other than the person can participate individually. Furthermore,
By providing an entry that prompts the input of the handy of the player on the application input screen, the input handy can be displayed as handy information of the person who has already applied on the golf course selection screen You may do anything. This makes it possible for people who are close to each other to play together. When the above-mentioned bid button is used as this application entry, a successful bid for individual participation can be made through the same procedure as the bid and successful bid procedure and processing as described above. On the other hand, if the application entry is just a play application button that does not bid, the amount that can be participated is displayed in advance on the selection screen, and anyone who agrees with that amount can apply for golf play via the Internet You may do something like this. Regarding the procedure and processing for the mere application, except the procedure and processing for bidding,
Those skilled in the art will readily recognize that the procedure and processing after a successful bid may be slightly modified.
In this way, by providing the brokerage site with a golf course selection screen for individual or small group application, and providing a bid button or a simple play application button, or both buttons, strangers can gather together. In addition to being able to enjoy golf, the golf course can also be used effectively.

It goes without saying that the type of business in the present application is not limited to those described in the present embodiment and examples. For example, the present invention may be applied to various types of business such as an English language school, an examination school, a clinic, a massage, a dentist, a hospital, a wedding ceremony, and a bridal industry. Because these are
The number of services to be provided at one time is limited; if there is no customer to receive services at a certain time, the facilities of the service provider will be idle;
This is because there is a situation on the service provider side that wants to provide services for which services are approaching, even at a slightly reduced fee.

Further, since there is a well-known technique of performing a questionnaire on a website and counting the questionnaire, it is desirable to apply the technique to this mediation method. In other words, we ask the general consumers (with or without history of bidding and successful bids) to visit the intermediary site several questionnaires and provide the results to service providers such as hotels and golf courses, By referencing the results on a website, it is expected that more and more people will be able to see the website of the broker that implements this brokering method. In addition, the effect can be expected to be further improved by providing a link to a web page that allows the information of the service provider's facilities and transportation means to be more visually displayed.

In the embodiment described above, the server 10 and the terminals 101, 102,... Are connected via the Internet NET. I can't. In the embodiment, the terminal connected to the server 10 is the terminal 1
01 and the terminal 102, but other terminals may be used.

[0042]

As described above, according to the present invention,
Despite the imminent timing of service provision, it is possible to provide an intermediary method that effectively utilizes service provision facilities that have not yet been reserved and gives general consumers an opportunity to receive service provision at low cost. It becomes possible.
