As described above, according to the present invention,
When a reservation entry for outdoor facility use is received from a user, the use fee discount rate database is searched according to the precipitation probability obtained from the Meteorological Agency server, and the outdoor facility use rate discount rate corresponding to the precipitation probability stage is obtained. Since the acquired discount rate is set as the outdoor facility usage fee of the user, the usage fee is low due to the usage fee discount rate when the rainy weather is high and the probability of precipitation is high, for example, during the rainy season. As a result, the number of users does not decrease even in rainy weather, which is very effective on the golf course side, and also, the usage fee is reduced for the user due to the probability of precipitation, and the user becomes easy to use.

Further, according to the present invention, when an intermediary between the user and the outdoor facility operator receives a reservation entry for outdoor facility use from the user, the usage fee is calculated based on the precipitation probability acquired from the Meteorological Agency server. The discount rate database is searched to obtain an outdoor facility use rate discount rate corresponding to the stage of the precipitation probability, the obtained discount rate is set as the outdoor facility use rate of the user, and the set outdoor facility use rate is set. Since the fee and outdoor facility usage status are notified to the outdoor facility operator, the outdoor facility operator and the intermediary can use the discount rate if the rainy season is heavy and the probability of precipitation is high, such as during the rainy season. As a result, the usage fee will be reduced, and the number of customers will not decrease even in rainy weather,
It is very effective in management, and also reduces the usage fee for users depending on the probability of precipitation, making it easier to use.

Further, according to the present invention, when a user uses an outdoor facility during rainy weather, the rainy weather discount rate database is searched according to the rainfall probability obtained from the Meteorological Agency server, and the stage corresponding to the rainfall probability is searched. Since the next discount rate is obtained and the next discount rate is set for the user's next outdoor facility usage fee, if the user uses it in rainy weather, the user will not be charged the extra fee as in the past, but rather the opposite. The next use fee can be reduced, and the user can use it without canceling even in rainy weather, which is very effective for outdoor facility operators.

According to the present invention, the intermediary between the user and the outdoor facility operator uses the rainfall probability discount rate database based on the probability of precipitation obtained from the Meteorological Agency server when the user uses the outdoor facility during rainy weather. To obtain the next discount rate corresponding to the precipitation probability stage, and set this next discount rate to the user's next outdoor facility usage fee. Instead of being charged extra, the next use fee can be reduced, and users will use it without canceling even in rainy weather, which is very useful for intermediaries and outdoor facility operators. It is valid.

Further, according to the present invention, when the cancellation of the use of the outdoor facility from the user is received, when the precipitation probability obtained from the Meteorological Agency server is equal to or more than the predetermined probability,
Since the cancellation fee is free, if the user wants to cancel due to rainy weather etc., instead of taking the cancellation fee as in the past, the cancellation fee will be free depending on the probability of precipitation, and the user will cancel. It can be done easily, and even if the forecast weather may be rainy, a reservation can be made without worrying about the cancellation fee, which is also effective for outdoor facilities.

Further, according to the present invention, if the intermediary between the user and the outdoor facility operator accepts the cancellation of the use of the outdoor facility from the user, the precipitation probability obtained from the Meteorological Agency server becomes a predetermined value. If the probability is higher than the probability, the cancellation fee will be free, so if the user wants to cancel due to rainy weather etc., instead of taking the cancellation fee as in the past, the cancellation fee will be free depending on the precipitation probability. , Users can easily cancel, even if the expected weather may be rainy, they can make a reservation without worrying about the cancellation fee, which is also effective for intermediaries and outdoor facilities is there.
