Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system which promotes the use of lodging facilities on weekdays. SOLUTION: A customer information database (303) is stored with customer information of memorial days, etc., of customers. A reservation rate statistic database (310) is stored with mean reservation rates of days counted back to the past by a specific number of days from a lodging day. A retrieval part (304) retrieves customer information meeting conditions that the lodging facilities present from the customer information database (303). A reservation management part (307) finds mean reservation rates stored in the reservation rate statistic database (310) from the difference of days between the lodging day and current point and calculates the number of customers to be invited which corresponds to the value obtained by subtracting the sum of the mean reservation rate and current reservation rate from a reservation rate of 100%. The customer information retrieved by the retrieval part (304) and the number of customers to be invited which is calculated by the reservation management part (307) are sent to a lodging facility terminal (40) through the Internet (20).

fer Protocol).

The accommodation facility use promotion system 30 is a system operated by an intermediary company that provides accommodation information to customers and provides useful information on prospective customers to accommodation facilities. The accommodation facility use promotion system 30 includes a communication unit 301,
Communication unit 302, customer information database 303, search unit 3
04, accommodation plan database 305, distribution processing unit 30
6, reservation management unit 307, reservation ledger database 308,
It comprises a day difference database 309 and a reservation rate statistical database 310.

The customer can receive the accommodation information from the broker by registering as a member with the broker with reference to advertisements such as magazines and information magazines and information posted on the Web site. Accommodation facility use promotion system 30 is WWW
(World Wide Web) server, the customer inputs a desired URL (Uniform Resource Locator) and accesses a site operated by an intermediary company, so that the customer terminal 1
At 0, a customer information input guidance screen as shown in FIG. 2 is displayed.

The customer enters basic information and anniversary information with reference to the input guide screen. The basic information includes an ID, a password, an e-mail address, a FAX number, a telephone number, a mobile telephone number, and the like. Kind of anniversary (wedding anniversary, birthday, moving anniversary, etc.)
There are information such as whose anniversary (couple, spouse, family, eldest son, etc.), date of the anniversary, whether or not accommodation plan information provided by the broker is necessary. These pieces of information are stored in the customer information database 303 via the Internet network 20 and the communication unit 301.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, the accommodation facility registers the accommodation facility reservation status in the database from an accommodation reservation register registration form provided by the accommodation facility utilization promotion system 30. In the accommodation reservation register registration form, enter the date of accommodation, the number of men and women, the number of required rooms, and the like. The reservation management unit 307 registers these data input via the Internet network 20 and the communication unit 302 in the reservation ledger database 308 (reservation ledger registration processing).

Referring to FIG. 11, the reservation register registration processing will be described. First, the reservation management unit 307 checks whether each input value is a positive number (step S101). If each input value is a positive number (step S101: YES),
It is checked whether or not “Accommodation start date ≦ Accommodation end date” (Step S102). If “Accommodation start date ≦ Accommodation end date” (Step S102: YES), “Total number of people = Number of men + Number of women” is satisfied. Check whether or not there is (step S1)
03). If “total number of persons = number of men + number of women” (step S103: YES), it is checked whether or not “sum of (number of persons × input number of requested rooms) ≧ total number of persons” (step S104). . If “sum of (number of capacity × input value of number of required rooms) ≧ total number of people” (step S104: Y
ES), referring to the reservation ledger database 308 to confirm the availability of the room (step S105).

Here, if the room is vacant (step S
106: YES), the reservation data is registered in the reservation ledger database 308 (step S107). As shown in FIG. 8, the reservation ledger database 308 records the day of the week and the reservation date for each room for each accommodation day. In the figure, 101, 1
..., 02, 103, ... indicate the room number, and room 101 to 1
Room 03 has 2 people, rooms 201 to 202 have 3 people,
Room 301 can accommodate four people. As shown in the figure, in the column for June 1, a reservation is made for Room 101 on April 2 and a reservation is made for Room 102 on May 5. Rooms 201 and 301 were reserved on April 14.

Subsequently, the reservation management unit 307 calculates the number of days between the accommodation date and the reservation date and the reservation rate for each date and registers them in the number of days database 309 (step S10).
8). For example, if June 1 is an accommodation day, the day when the reservation was made in Room 101 is April 1, so 60 days is recorded as the number of days between June 1 and April 1. The difference in days includes the day of the reservation date but not the day of the accommodation day. Similarly, in the column of room 102, 27 days are recorded as the number of days, and in the columns of room 201 and room 301, 48 days are recorded. In addition, the current reservation rate of the accommodation date on June 1 is 6
(4/6) x 10 because 4 of the rooms are reserved
0% ≒ 67% is recorded. Hereinafter, the calculation of the reservation rate shall be obtained by rounding off the decimals. Also, 4/6
Is the total number of rooms.

On the other hand, steps S101 to S10
If the answer is NO in any one of Steps 4 and 5, an input error is displayed (Step S110), and if no room is available (Step S106: NO), a reservation impossible display is displayed (Step S109).

The reservation management unit 307 updates the data registered in the reservation rate statistical database 310 based on the data registered in the day difference database 309 (reservation rate statistical data processing). Reservation rate statistics database 310
Stores reservation rate statistical data shown in FIG.
In the figure, on Thursday in June, the reservation rate is 100%, 99%, 98%,..., 1%, 0% for each of the days difference between the accommodation date and the reservation date from 100 days to 0 days. The number of times, frequency, mean, standard deviation, upper limit and lower limit are recorded.

For example, the difference in the number of days between the accommodation date and the reservation date is 10
In the case of day 0, that is, in the past 100 days before the accommodation date,
The reservation rate 25% indicates 18 times, the reservation rate 24% indicates 54 times, and the reservation rate 23% indicates 21 times. As a result of performing statistical processing on the assumption that these values are normally distributed, the frequency at this time was 102, the average was 24.2%, and the standard deviation was 1.
5%, the upper limit is 27.1%, and the lower limit is 21.3%. These values are calculated with a 95% confidence factor. When the number of days between the staying date and the reservation date is 100 days, the probability that the reservation rate is 24.2% is the highest. January through 12 in the reservation rate statistics database 310
For each month up to the month, the above data is recorded for each day of the week from Monday to Sunday.

In the above description, as the reservation rate statistical data, the numbers of reservation rates of 100%, 99%,..., 0% are recorded for each of the days from 100 days to 0 days. The difference need not be 100 days, 15
It can be set arbitrarily, such as 0 days or 200 days.

Next, the reservation rate statistical data processing will be described with reference to FIG. The reservation management unit 307 acquires data of the previous day of the stay from the day difference database 309.
For example, if today is June 2, 6 shown in FIG.
Get the data in the month 1 column. According to this data,
One day difference between the staying date and the reservation date is 60 days, 48 days difference
Since there are two reservations a day and one reservation on the 27th day difference,
FIG. 14 shows a graph. As shown in the figure, in the section where the number of days between the accommodation date and the reservation date is 100 to 61 days, it can be expected that the accommodation facility will newly acquire 67% of the reservation in the future. Similarly, in a section where the day difference is 60 to 49 days, the accommodation facility can newly expect a reservation rate equivalent to 50%, and in a section where the day difference is 48 to 28 days, the reservation rate is 17%.
%, And a reservation rate of 0% can be newly expected in the section where the number of days is 27 to 0 days. The reservation management unit 307 updates the reservation rate statistical data shown in FIG. 10 based on the above data.

The reservation management unit 307 obtains 60 days, which is the maximum number of days difference, from the data in the column on June 1 shown in FIG. 9 and substitutes it for the number of days difference parameter A (step S202).
Further, a reservation rate of 67% is obtained and substituted for the reservation rate parameter B (step S203). Further, the maximum day difference 100 is substituted for the day difference parameter C (step S204). Then, the values of the day difference parameter A and the day difference parameter C are compared (step S205). Days difference parameter A = 60, days difference parameter C = 10
Since it is 0, step S205 is NO. Accordingly, the process proceeds to step S208, in which the number of times the reservation rate matches the reservation rate parameter B, that is, the number of times of the reservation rate of 67% in this example, is incremented by 1 in the data having the number of days difference of 100 (step S208). ).

Subsequently, the frequency, the average value, the standard deviation, the upper limit, and the lower limit are calculated for the data having the day difference of 100 (step S209), and the value of the day difference parameter C is decremented by 1 (step S210). ). At this time, since the day difference parameter C is 99, steps S205 to S210 are repeated until the day difference parameter C becomes zero.

When the day difference parameter C = 60, step S205 is YES. As a result, with respect to the reservation rate statistical data shown in FIG. 10, the number of times of the reservation rate of 67% is incremented by 1 for each of the data with the difference in days from 100 to 61. The reservation management unit 307 calculates the reservation rate at the time difference of 60 days from the accommodation date and updates the value of the reservation rate parameter B (step S).
206). Since there are three rooms of room No. 102, room No. 201, and room No. 301 which are likely to be reserved at the time difference of 60 days, the reservation rate at this time is (3/6) × 100% = 50.
%. Therefore, the reservation rate parameter B = 50%.

Next, the reservation management unit 307 obtains the next maximum number of days difference of 60 days, and updates the value of the number-of-days parameter A (step S207). Referring to the data in the column on June 1 shown in FIG. 9, the maximum day difference of 60 days is followed by 48 days, so this value is substituted for the day difference parameter A.

Then, the number of reservation rates that match the reservation rate parameter B is incremented by one (step S2).
08). Here, the number of times that the reservation rate is 50% in the data in the column for the number of days difference 60 is incremented by one. Hereinafter, as described above, the frequency, the average value, the standard deviation, the upper limit, and the lower limit are calculated (step S209), and the value of the day difference parameter C is decremented by 1 (step S210).

Steps S205 to S210 are repeatedly executed, and when the number of days difference parameter C = 48, step S205 becomes YES. As a result, in the reservation rate statistical data shown in FIG.
For each data up to 49, the number of times of reservation rate 50% is 1
Only that it has been incremented. Reservation management unit 30
7 calculates the reservation rate as of the 48 days difference from the accommodation date, and updates the value of the reservation rate parameter B (step S206). Since only room 102 has a reservation prospect at the time difference of 48 days, the reservation rate at this time is (1/6) × 100% ≒ 17%.

Next, the reservation management unit 307 obtains the next maximum number of days difference of 48 days, and updates the value of the number-of-days parameter A (step S207). Referring to the data in the column on June 1 shown in FIG. 9, since the next day of 48 days is 27 days, this value is substituted into the day difference parameter A.

Then, the number of reservation rates that match the reservation rate parameter B is incremented by one (step S2).
08). Here, the number of times that the reservation rate is 17% in the data of the column for the number of days difference 48 is incremented by one. Hereinafter, as described above, the frequency, the average value, the standard deviation, the upper limit, and the lower limit are calculated (step S209), and the value of the day difference parameter C is decremented by 1 (step S210).

Steps S205 to S210 are repeatedly executed, and when the number of days difference parameter C = 27, step S205 becomes YES. As a result, in the reservation rate statistical data shown in FIG.
For each data up to 28, the number of times of reservation rate 17% is 1
Only that it has been incremented. Reservation management unit 30
7 calculates the reservation rate as of the 27-day difference from the accommodation date, and updates the value of the reservation rate parameter B (step S206). Since there is no prospect of reservation at the time difference of 27 days, the reservation rate at this time is (0/6) × 100%
= 0%. Therefore, the reservation rate parameter B = 0%.

Next, the reservation management unit 307 obtains the next maximum number of days difference of 27 days, and updates the value of the number of days difference parameter A (step S207). Referring to the data in the column on June 1 shown in FIG. 9, there is no next day difference of 27 days, so a value of 0 is substituted for the day difference parameter A.

Then, the number of times of the reservation rate matching the reservation rate parameter B is incremented by 1 (step S2).
08). Here, the number of times that the reservation rate is 0% in the data of the column of the day difference 27 is incremented by one. Less than,
As mentioned above, the frequency, mean, standard deviation, upper limit,
The lower limit is calculated (step S209), and the value of the day difference parameter C is decremented by 1 (step S209).
210).

Steps S205 to S210 are repeatedly executed, and when the number of days difference parameter C becomes 0, step S211 becomes YES and the reservation rate statistical data processing ends. As a result, with respect to the reservation rate statistical data shown in FIG. 10, the number of times of the reservation rate of 0% has been incremented by 1 for each data having a day difference of 27 to 0. Through the above processing steps, the reservation rate statistical data processing is completed.

As described above, the customer information database 3
03 stores information such as customer anniversaries,
In order to earn the turnover of the facilities on weekdays, it is better to use these anniversaries and fill in the reservations rather than leaving them empty for customers, so drastic accommodation with a large discount rate A plan can be provided. The accommodation facility use promotion system 30 communicates with the communication unit 30 in response to a request from the accommodation facility.
2 and accommodation facility terminal 4 via Internet network 20
0 presents the search screen shown in FIG. The accommodation facility refers to the search screen shown in the figure, and inputs the target anniversary, the anniversary designation (arbitrarily designated), the anniversary classification code, the subject code, and the number of people per set.

The search unit 304 is used for the customer information database 30
3 is searched, and the number of persons matching the given condition is determined. As a search result, an accommodation information registration form shown in FIG. On this screen, the number of recruiting groups and the number of persons are displayed together with the number of persons corresponding to the search condition (recruiting number display processing). The number of recruited groups and the number of persons are calculated based on the current reservation rate and the average reservation rate (estimated reservation rate) determined from the past statistical data with reference to the reservation rate statistical database 310 so that the reservation rate on the accommodation day becomes 100%. ) Is taken into account.

The recruitment number display process will be described with reference to FIG. The reservation management unit 307 calculates the number of days between the anniversary (accommodation date) and today (search date) (step S30).
1) With reference to the reservation rate statistical data stored in the reservation rate statistical database 310, the average value D and the upper limit E are obtained from the “month”, “day of the week”, and “day difference” of the anniversary (step). S302).

Next, the reservation rate F for today is acquired from the day difference database 309 (step S303). The reservation management unit 307 calculates “(100% −average value D−reservation rate F)”.
X number of rooms ", round up the decimals and use this as the number of recruiting groups. Further, the number of recruited persons is calculated by multiplying the number of recruited groups by the number of persons per group. The reservation management unit 307 displays the calculated number of recruited groups and the number of recruited persons (step S30).
4). In the example of FIG. 4, the number of recruiting groups is three, and the number of recruiting persons is six.

Next, the reservation management unit 307 determines "(upper limit E
-Average value D) x number of rooms "and calculate the error of the number of recruited groups. In addition, an error in the number of recruited persons is calculated by multiplying this by the number of persons per set. In the example of FIG. 4, the error in the number of recruited groups is ± 0.24, and the error in the number of recruited people is ± 0.48. However, the reliability coefficient is 95%.

With reference to the accommodation information registration form shown in FIG. 4, if the number of recruiting groups proposed by the accommodation facility use promotion system 30 is reliable, the number of recruiting groups is determined to be three, and some errors may occur. If it is determined that there are, the number of recruiting groups can be set to four or two. For accommodation facilities, enter the number of groups to be offered, accommodation plan title, accommodation plan comment, accommodation plan benefits, accommodation plan amount, etc. Further, as a means for presenting accommodation plans to customers, e-mail, Web
Communication means such as a screen, a facsimile, and a telephone can be selected.

Data (accommodation plan information) input from the accommodation information registration form is stored in the accommodation plan database 305 via the Internet network 20 and the communication unit 302. The distribution processing unit 306 distributes accommodation plan information to customers who meet the search condition. In this example, since the accommodation facility has selected e-mail as a means for presenting the accommodation plan to the customer in the accommodation information registration form, the e-mail describing the accommodation plan information is delivered to the customer.
The electronic mail is transmitted to the communication unit 301 and the Internet network 20.
Through to the customer terminal 10. FIG. 6 shows an example of an e-mail delivered to a customer. The customer who has received the e-mail can browse the Web page for making a reservation by accessing the URL linked to the e-mail.

The distribution processing unit 306 is connected to the Internet network 2
0 and a request for a reservation from the customer terminal 10 via the communication unit 301 in cooperation with the search unit 304 to obtain customer information, edit the reservation information, and edit this as the reservation information via the communication unit 302 and the Internet network 20. It is delivered to the accommodation facility terminal 40.
FIG. 7 shows an example of an e-mail delivered to an accommodation facility. As shown in the figure, the e-mail delivered to the accommodation facility describes the name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, number of persons, and check-in time of the customer who wants to stay. The accommodation facility refers to these reply mails, contacts the customer who wants to stay, and performs the reservation procedure. The accommodation facility inputs the reservation information from the accommodation facility terminal 40, and records the accommodation information in the accommodation plan database 305 as contract information. When the reservation is made between the accommodation facility and the customer, the broker can charge the accommodation facility for the customer's referral fee.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide an accommodation plan with a large discount rate on anniversaries such as a customer's or their family's birthday, wedding anniversary, etc.
The turnover rate of accommodation facilities on weekdays can be increased. Also,
If you provide an accommodation plan to a customer who has stayed at an accommodation facility in the past, you will not be able to provide an accommodation plan to many customers, but more through an intermediary as in this embodiment Accommodation plan can be provided to customers. For example, an intermediary can collect customer information from more customers by placing advertisements in magazines, newspapers, books, and the like. These customer information includes birthday,
Since various anniversaries such as a wedding anniversary are included, the accommodation facility searches for the customer anniversary through an intermediary,
Can be used for weekday accommodation plans.

The means of contacting the customer is via e-mail or F
Since AX, telephone, and the like are used, an accommodation plan can be provided at low cost. Further, since the accommodation facility use promotion system 30 stores the accommodation facility reservation rate statistical data, it is possible to provide an appropriate discounted accommodation plan in consideration of the average reservation rate. For example, if the current reservation rate is 30%,
If the probability of making a reservation between now and the date of stay (average reservation rate) is statistically 15%, simply providing a cheap accommodation plan to fill the remaining 70% would mean an average reservation rate of 15% You will waste minutes.

However, according to the present embodiment, since the accommodation plan is provided to the customer in consideration of not only the current reservation rate but also the average reservation rate, the turnover rate on weekdays is increased and the profit of the accommodation facility is reduced. It can be maximized. In the above example, the accommodation is 100% -30% -15% = 55%
You only need to offer a cheap accommodation plan to your customers.

[0048]

According to the present invention, the accommodation plan is provided to the customer in consideration of the average reservation rate, so that the turnover rate on weekdays can be increased and the profit of the accommodation facility can be maximized.
