Description

  The present invention relates to an accommodation facility reservation reception method, system, and program capable of completing a group reservation consisting of a plurality of sets having different accommodation schedules at a time.

Conventionally, an online accommodation reservation system using the Internet has been operated (for example, Patent Document 1 below).
JP 2001-167145 A

  However, in the conventional reservation system, the number of guests, the number of rooms used, the start date of stay, and the number of stays are input at a time with one reservation. Therefore, even in the case of a group customer who uses a plurality of rooms by a plurality of people, the accommodation start date and the number of accommodations, that is, the accommodation schedule, are common to each room.

  On the other hand, for example, in the case of staying in time for a wedding attendance, although it becomes a group guest staying for a common purpose, the convenience and schedule of attendees other than the day of the ceremony often vary. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, in the group customer consisting of 5 groups of Mr. A, Mr. B, Mr. C, Mr. D, Mr. E, all the guests stayed on October 10th on the day of the ceremony, 4 nights from October 8th to 11th, B for 3 nights from October 10th to 12th, C for 2 nights from October 10th to 11th, D for October 9th The schedule for each group may vary, such as two nights up to the 10th and E's one night only on the 10th of October.

  In the case of a group customer consisting of a plurality of groups with various accommodation schedules, it has been necessary for the conventional system to make a reservation in a plurality of times by collecting users having a common accommodation schedule. For example, in the example shown in the figure, it was necessary to reserve five sets of Mr. A, Mr. B, Mr. C, Mr. D, and Mr. E separately, which was very troublesome. In addition, when reservations are made more than once, the reservation slips are also different for each customer, and the customer has to deal with a plurality of reservation slips.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide an accommodation facility reservation receiving method, system, and program capable of completing a group reservation consisting of a plurality of sets having different accommodation schedules in one time. To do.

Referring to the room inventory database for room inventory corresponding to the accepted start date and number of nights;
When there is a room inventory corresponding to the received start date and the number of stays, a step of assigning the received number of stays to the total number of stays stored in advance,
The gist of the invention is that it includes a step of establishing a reservation when the total number of nights stored in advance and the allocated number of nights are equal.

In order to achieve the above object, the accommodation facility reservation reception system of the present invention is an accommodation facility that accepts a reservation of an accommodation facility by connecting a terminal device to the server device built on the Internet via the Internet. Reservation reception system,
Means for accepting and storing a plurality of guest rooms to be used in advance and a total number of nights that is the total number of nights in each guest room;
Means for accepting an input of an accommodation start date and the number of nights for each guest room corresponding to the stored number of guest rooms;
Means for referring to the room inventory database for the room inventory corresponding to the accepted start date and number of nights;
When there is a room inventory corresponding to the received start date and the number of stays, means for assigning the received number of stays to the total number of stays stored in advance,
The gist of the invention is that it includes means for establishing a reservation when the total number of nights stored in advance and the allocated number of nights are equal.

In addition, in order to achieve the above object, the accommodation facility reservation reception program of the present invention connects a terminal device via the Internet to a server device constructed on the Internet and receives an accommodation facility reservation. The reservation acceptance program of
Receiving and storing an input of a plurality of guest rooms to be used in advance and a total number of stays that is a sum of the number of stays in each guest room;
A step of accepting an input of an accommodation start date and the number of nights for each guest room corresponding to the stored number of guest rooms;
Referring to the room inventory database for room inventory corresponding to the accepted start date and number of nights;
When there is a room inventory corresponding to the received start date and the number of stays, a step of assigning the received number of stays to the total number of stays stored in advance,
The gist is to cause the computer apparatus to execute a step of establishing a reservation when the total number of nights stored in advance and the allocated number of nights are equal.

That is, the present invention accepts and stores an input of a plurality of guest rooms to be used in advance and a total number of stays that is the sum of the number of stays in each guest room, and a stay start date for each guest room corresponding to the stored number of guest rooms. Accepting the input of the number of stays, if there is a room inventory corresponding to the accepted start date and number of stays, assign the number of stays received to the total number of stays stored in advance, and the total number of stays stored in advance, A reservation is made when the number of nights allocated becomes equal.
In this way, since reservations can be made while determining the accommodation start date and the number of accommodations for each guest room, even a group customer consisting of a plurality of groups with various accommodation schedules can complete the reservation for all the groups in one reservation. In addition, since one reservation is required, the reservation slips are combined into one, so that the customer is freed from the trouble of handling a plurality of reservation slips.

In the present invention, when accepting the input of the start date of stay and the number of stays for the first guest room, the start date of stay is accepted, and a calendar of the same number of days as the total number of stays starting from the accepted stay start date is displayed. Accept the number of nights in the calendar,
Number of days when the start date and the number of nights are received for the next room, the start date is accepted, and the total number of nights is subtracted from the total number of nights starting from the accepted start date. If you want to display the calendar and accept the number of nights in the calendar,
For each accommodation group staying in the same room, first enter the accommodation start date, then enter the number of consecutive nights based on that ratio, and the reservation will be completed if the above operation is performed for each guest room in order. It ’s easy to understand and there ’s no mistake.

A next button 29 for moving to is displayed.

  In the name input field 30 and the number of persons input field 31, the same number as the number of rooms used on the reservation start page 20 is displayed, and one is displayed for each room. In this example, since the number of guest rooms to be used on the reservation start page 20 is input as “5”, the name input field 30 and the number of persons input field 31 are displayed in five each accordingly.

  In this example, the guest room representative name “Yamamoto” uses “1”, the guest room representative name “Tanaka” uses “1”, the guest room representative name “Sato” uses “2”, and the guest room representative name “Suzuki”. In this example, the number of users “2”, the guest room representative name “Ito”, and the number of users “1” are input.

  When the next button 29 is clicked in this state, the inputted guest room representative name and the number of users are transmitted to the server device 1, and the server device 1 accepts and stores the data. At this time, data is not input to all the number of people input fields 31 corresponding to the number of rooms input on the reservation start page 20, or the total number of persons input to all the number of people input fields 31 is input on the reservation start page 20. If it does not match the number of users, the error message prompting re-input is displayed on the representative input page 21 without proceeding to the next page.

  If data is entered in all of the number of people input fields 31 and the total number of people entered in all of the number of people input fields 31 matches the number of users entered on the reservation start page 20, the next accommodation start date is entered. Proceed to page 22a.

  Hereinafter, FIGS. 3 to 7 are screens for accepting the input of the start date and the number of nights, respectively, and the input is accepted for each guest room corresponding to the stored number of guest rooms.

  As an example, in FIG. 3, the accommodation start date and the number of nights are entered for the guest room name “Yamamoto” using one person. In FIG. 4, the guest room of the guest room name “Tanaka” is used. The start date and the number of nights are entered, and in FIG. 5, the room start date and the number of nights are entered for the room representative name “Sato” 2 people. In FIG. 6, the room representative name “Suzuki” is entered. The accommodation start date and the number of nights are entered for a room with two users. In FIG. 7, the accommodation start date and the number of nights are entered for a room with a guest name representative “Ito”.

  3A is an example of the accommodation start date input page 22a, and FIG. 3B is an example of the next accommodation number input page 23a, in which the accommodation start date and the number of nights of the first room are input.

  Here, accept the input of the start date and number of stays for the first guest room, accept the start date of the stay, display the calendar of the same number of days as the total number of stays starting from the accepted start date of stay, Accepts the number of nights.

  The accommodation start date input page 22a is a page for inputting the accommodation start date of the guest room representative input first on the representative input page 21, and the guest room representative name and the number of users, that is, “Yamamoto-sama” Along with the display of “1 person”, an accommodation start date designation field 32a and a next button 29 are displayed.

  The accommodation start date designation field 32a can designate the year, month, and day when the accommodation is to be started by selecting the year, month, and day from the pull-down menu. In this example, an example in which December 1, 2005 is designated as the accommodation start date is shown. When the next button 29 is clicked in this state, the input accommodation start date is transmitted to the server device 1, and the server device 1 accepts and stores the data, and generates the next accommodation number input page 23a. Is output.

  The accommodation number input page 23a is a page for inputting the number of accommodations of the guest room representative whose accommodation start date is specified in the accommodation start date input page 22a. 33a and a next button 29 are displayed.

  The accommodation date designation field 33a is displayed as a calendar having the same number of days as the total number of nights entered on the reservation start page 20 starting from the accommodation start date designated on the accommodation start date input page 22a. In this example, twelve days, that is, twelve are provided from “December 1, 2005” to “December 12, 2005”.

  In this example, the number of stays, that is, the expected stay date is entered by checking the check box of each stay date designation field 33a. At this time, only the date entered as the accommodation start date (in this example, “December 1, 2005”) stays at least one night, so the check box is displayed in advance by default. Yes. In this example, the check boxes for December 1, 2005, December 2, 2005, December 3, 2005, and December 4, 2005 are checked as the planned stay dates for four nights in this room. Shows the state.

  Then, when the number of nights in the guest room is input and the next button 29 is clicked, the input planned stay date and the number of nights are transmitted to the server device 1, and the server device 1 accepts and stores the data. Stock processing and accommodation number reservation processing are performed.

  That is, when the server apparatus 1 accepts the planned stay date and the number of nights, the database search means 9 first searches the stock table 12 which is a room stock database for the room stock corresponding to the accepted start date, number of nights and number of nights. Refer to by. In this example, since there is one person, whether there is a stock (vacant room) on December 1, 2005, December 2, 2005, December 3, 2005, and December 4, 2005 in a single room Search the database.

  Then, when there is a room inventory corresponding to the accommodation start date and the number of nights received in the inventory table 12, the inventory table 12 is updated so as to reduce the inventory of the above-mentioned scheduled date of accommodation in the inventory table 12 by 1 and stored in advance. The number of accommodations received is allocated to the total number of overnight stays. In this example, since the total number of stays stored in advance is “12” and the number of stays accepted on the above-described stay number input page 23a is “4”, “4” is subtracted from “12” to obtain “8” as the total number of stays. Remember again.

  On the other hand, when there is no room inventory corresponding to the planned date of stay in the inventory table 12, a message indicating that the room is already full is displayed, and a screen prompting the cancel operation is displayed only for the reservation operation.

  When the inventory process and the accommodation number allocation process are completed, a process for generating and outputting the accommodation start date input page 22b for the next guest room is performed.

  4A is an example of the accommodation start date input page 22b, and FIG. 4B is an example of the next accommodation number input page 23b, which is basically the same as that shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B. Yes, the start date and number of nights in the second room are entered. Descriptions may be omitted where parts or operations similar to those described above are performed.

  Here, when accepting the input of the accommodation start date and the number of accommodations for the second room, the accommodation start date is accepted, and the number of accommodations accepted for the first room from the total number of accommodations starting from the accepted accommodation start date. A calendar with the number of days reduced is displayed, and an input of the number of nights is accepted in the calendar.

  In the above-mentioned accommodation start date input page 22b, in this example, “Tanaka-sama” is displayed, an accommodation start date designation field 32b and a next button 29 are displayed, and December 3, 2005 is set as the accommodation start date. A specified example is shown. When the next button 29 is clicked in this state, the next accommodation number input page 23b is displayed.

  In the above-mentioned accommodation number input page 23b, in this example, “Tanaka-sama 1 person” is displayed, and an accommodation date designation field 33b and a next button 29 are displayed.

  The accommodation date designation field 33b is displayed as a calendar having the same number of days as the total number of accommodations newly stored by the accommodation number allocation process, starting from the accommodation start date designated on the accommodation start date input page 22b. . In this example, since the stay start date is “December 3, 2005” and the total number of stays after allocation is “8”, eight days from “December 3, 2005” to “December 10, 2005” Eight are provided.

  This example shows a state in which the check boxes of December 3, 2005, December 4, 2005, and December 5, 2005 are checked as planned stay dates when three nights are planned to be stayed in this room.

  Then, when the number of nights in the guest room is input and the next button 29 is clicked, the input planned stay date and the number of nights are transmitted to the server device 1, and the server device 1 accepts and stores the data. Stock processing and accommodation number reservation processing are performed.

  That is, in this example, since it is used by one person, a database search is performed to check whether there is a stock (vacant room) on December 3, 2005, December 4, 2005, and December 5, 2005 in a single room. When there is a room inventory to be updated, the inventory table 12 is updated so that the inventory on the scheduled stay date of the inventory table 12 is reduced by one, and the number of nights accepted this time with respect to the total number of nights after the first allocation process To attract. In this example, since the total number of nights after the first allocation process is “8” and the number of nights received on the above-mentioned number-of-nights input page 23b is “3”, “3” is subtracted from “8” to obtain the total number of nights. As a result, “5” is stored again.

  On the other hand, when there is no room inventory corresponding to the planned date of stay in the inventory table 12, a message indicating that the room is already full is displayed, and a screen prompting the cancel operation is displayed only for the reservation operation.

  When the inventory process and the accommodation number reservation process are completed, a process for generating and outputting the accommodation start date input page 22c for the next guest room is performed.

  5A is an example of the accommodation start date input page 22c, and FIG. 5B is an example of the next accommodation number input page 23c, which is basically the same as that shown in FIGS. The start date and number of nights for the second room are entered. Descriptions may be omitted where parts or operations similar to those described above are performed.

  Here, when accepting the input of the accommodation start date and the number of nights for the third room, the number of nights accepted for the first room from the total number of nights starting from the accepted day of the first night received. A calendar with the number of days reduced is displayed, and an input of the number of nights is accepted in the calendar.

  In the above-mentioned accommodation start date input page 22c, in this example, “Sato-sama” is displayed, an accommodation start date designation column 32c and a next button 29 are displayed, and the accommodation start date is December 3, 2005. A specified example is shown. When the next button 29 is clicked in this state, the next accommodation number input page 23c is displayed.

  In the above-described accommodation number input page 23c, in this example, “Sato-sama 2” is displayed, an accommodation date designation field 33c, and a next button 29 are displayed.

  The accommodation date designation field 33c is displayed as a calendar having the same number of days as the total number of accommodations newly stored by the accommodation number allocation process, starting from the accommodation start date designated on the accommodation start date input page 22c. . In this example, the stay start date is “December 3, 2005”, and the total number of stays after the second allocation process is “5”, so from “December 3, 2005” to “December 7, 2005” It is provided for 5 days, that is, 5 pieces.

  This example shows a state in which the check boxes of December 3, 2005 and December 4, 2005 are checked as planned stay dates for two nights in this room.

  Then, when the number of nights in the guest room is input and the next button 29 is clicked, the input planned stay date and the number of nights are transmitted to the server device 1, and the server device 1 accepts and stores the data. Stock processing and accommodation number reservation processing are performed.

  That is, in this example, since there are two people, a database search is performed to check whether there are stocks (vacant rooms) on December 3, 2005 and December 4, 2005 in a twin room. The inventory table 12 is updated so as to reduce the stock on the planned stay date of the inventory table 12 by 1, and the number of stays accepted this time is assigned to the total number of stays after the second allocation process. In this example, since the total number of nights after the second allocation process is “5” and the number of nights received on the above-mentioned number-of-nights input page 23c is “2”, “2” is subtracted from “5”. As a result, “3” is stored again.

  On the other hand, when there is no room inventory corresponding to the planned date of stay in the inventory table 12, a message indicating that the room is already full is displayed, and a screen prompting the cancel operation is displayed only for the reservation operation.

  When the inventory process and the accommodation number reservation process are completed, a process of generating and outputting the accommodation start date input page 22d for the next guest room is performed.

  6A is an example of the accommodation start date input page 22d, and FIG. 6B is an example of the next accommodation number input page 23d, which is basically the same as that shown in FIGS.

  Here, when accepting the input of the accommodation start date and the number of nights for the fourth room, the number of nights received for the first room from the total number of nights starting from the accepted day of starting night is accepted. A calendar with the number of days reduced is displayed, and an input of the number of nights is accepted in the calendar.

  In the above-mentioned accommodation start date input page 22d, in this example, “Suzuki 2” is displayed, an accommodation start date designation field 32d and a next button 29 are displayed, and December 2, 2005 is set as the accommodation start date. A specified example is shown. When the next button 29 is clicked in this state, the next accommodation number input page 23d is displayed.

  In the above-described accommodation number input page 23d, in this example, “Suzuki-sama 2” is displayed, an accommodation date designation field 33d, and a next button 29 are displayed.

  The accommodation date designation field 33d is displayed as a calendar having the same number of days as the total number of accommodations newly stored by the accommodation number allocation process, starting from the accommodation start date designated on the accommodation start date input page 22d. . In this example, the stay start date is “December 2, 2005”, and the total number of stays after the third allocation process is “3”. From “December 3, 2005” to “December 4, 2005” For three days, three are provided.

  This example shows a state in which the check boxes of December 2, 2005 and December 3, 2005 are checked as planned stay dates for two nights in this room.

  Then, when the number of nights in the guest room is input and the next button 29 is clicked, the input planned stay date and the number of nights are transmitted to the server device 1, and the server device 1 accepts and stores the data. Stock processing and accommodation number reservation processing are performed.

  That is, in this example, since there are two people, a database search is performed to check whether there are stocks (vacant rooms) on December 2, 2005 and December 3, 2005 in a twin room. The inventory table 12 is updated so as to reduce the inventory on the scheduled date of the accommodation table 12 by 1, respectively, and the number of stays accepted this time is allocated to the total number of stays after the third allocation process. In this example, since the total number of stays after the third allocation process is “3” and the number of stays accepted on the above-mentioned stay number input page 23d is “2”, “2” is subtracted from “3”. As a result, “1” is stored again.

  On the other hand, when there is no room inventory corresponding to the planned date of stay in the inventory table 12, a message indicating that the room is already full is displayed, and a screen prompting the cancel operation is displayed only for the reservation operation.

  When the inventory process and the accommodation number allocation process are completed, a process of generating and outputting the accommodation start date input page 22e for the next guest room is performed.

The start date and number of nights for the second room are entered. Descriptions may be omitted where parts or operations similar to those described above are performed.

  Here, when accepting the input of the accommodation start date and the number of accommodations for the fifth room, the accommodation start date is accepted, and the number of accommodations accepted for the first room from the total number of accommodations starting from the accepted accommodation start date A calendar with the number of days reduced is displayed, and an input of the number of nights is accepted in the calendar.

  In the above-mentioned accommodation start date input page 22e, in this example, “Ito-sama” is displayed, an accommodation start date designation field 32e and a next button 29 are displayed, and the accommodation start date is set to December 3, 2005. A specified example is shown. When the next button 29 is clicked in this state, the next accommodation number input page 23e is displayed.

  In the above-mentioned accommodation number input page 23e, in this example, “Ito-sama 1” is displayed, and an accommodation date designation field 33e and a next button 29 are displayed.

  The accommodation date designation field 33e is displayed as a calendar having the same number of days as the total number of accommodations newly stored by the accommodation number allocation process, starting from the accommodation start date designated on the accommodation start date input page 22e. . In this example, the stay start date is “December 3, 2005”, and the total number of stays after the fourth allocation process is “1”, so “December 3, 2005” to “December 3, 2005” One is provided for one day.

  In this example, it is shown that the check box of December 3, 2005 is checked as the planned stay date when staying in this room for one night.

  Then, when the number of nights in the guest room is input and the next button 29 is clicked, the input planned stay date and the number of nights are transmitted to the server device 1, and the server device 1 accepts and stores the data. Stock processing and accommodation number reservation processing are performed.

  That is, in this example, since it is a use by one person, a database search is performed to determine whether there is a stock (vacant room) on December 3, 2005 in a single room. The inventory table 12 is updated so that the stock on the scheduled date is reduced by one, and the number of nights accepted this time is allocated to the total number of nights after the fourth allocation process. In this example, since the total number of nights after the fourth allocation process is “1” and the number of nights received on the above-mentioned number-of-nights input page 23e is “1”, “1” is subtracted from “1”. "0" is stored again.

  On the other hand, when there is no room inventory corresponding to the planned date of stay in the inventory table 12, a message indicating that the room is already full is displayed, and a screen prompting the cancel operation is displayed only for the reservation operation.

  Then, when the inventory process and the accommodation number allocation process are completed and the total number of nights stored in advance becomes equal to the total number of accommodations allocated by each of the allocation processes, the reservation is established.

  That is, when the next button 29 is clicked in the accommodation date designation field 33e, a process for generating and outputting the next confirmation screen 24 is performed.

  FIG. 8 is an example of the confirmation screen 24.

  The confirmation screen 24 displays a list of contents that have been reserved in the processes of FIGS. 2 to 7, and includes a redo button 34 that shifts to a process for redoing the reservation operation, and a reservation confirmation button 35 that confirms the reservation. It is displayed.

  When the reservation confirmation button 35 is clicked, the reservation is confirmed, and a reservation slip describing the reservation contents displayed in a list is transmitted to the reservation operator who is a member registrant by e-mail, for example. The confirmation screen 24 can be printed out to make a reservation slip. On the other hand, when the redo button 34 is clicked, the process returns to the reservation start page 20 and redoes all the reservation operations. At this time, the data input up to that point is displayed as a default, and it is only necessary to input only the necessary correction points.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the second embodiment.

  In this example, the accommodation start date and the number of nights of each guest room are not sequentially input, but are input on the same screen.

  FIG. 9A shows a reservation start page 20, which is the same as that shown in FIG. FIG. 9B is an example of the reservation information input page 25. This reservation information input page 25 is provided with the same number of name input fields 30 and number of people input fields 31 as the number of guest rooms input on the reservation start page 20, and the guest room representative name and the number of users are input. . In correspondence with each name input field 30 and the number of persons input field 31, an accommodation start date designation field 32 and an accommodation number input field 36 are provided.

  In this example, the guest room representative name, the number of users, the start date of stay, the number of stays are entered for each guest room on the reservation information input page 25, and the next button 29 is clicked. The accommodation start date and the number of nights are transmitted to the server device 1, and the server device 1 accepts and stores the data, and performs an inventory process and a night number allocation process.

  That is, in this example, the single room for one person uses the inventory from December 1, 2005 to December 4, 2005, and the single room for one person uses December 3, 2005 to December 5, 2005. In stock, 2 people use twin room December 3, 2005-December 5, 2005 stock 2 people use twin room, December 2, 2005-December 3, 2005 stock, 1 person A database search is performed to determine whether there is a stock on December 3, 2005 in the single room in use, and when there is a corresponding room stock, the stock table 12 reduces the stock on the planned stay date of the stock table 12 by one each. Update. Also, the number of nights accepted this time is allocated to the total number of nights input first. In this example, since the total number of nights input first is “12” and the number of nights received on the reservation information input page 25 is “4, 3, 2, 2, 1”, “12” to “4, 3 , 2, 2, 1 "are subtracted respectively.

  On the other hand, when there is no room inventory corresponding to the planned date of stay in the inventory table 12, a message indicating that the room is already full is displayed, and a screen prompting the cancel operation is displayed only for the reservation operation.

  Then, when the inventory process and the accommodation number allocation process are completed and the total number of nights stored in advance becomes equal to the total number of accommodations allocated by each of the allocation processes, the reservation is established.

  That is, when the next button 29 is clicked on the reservation information input page 25, processing for generating and outputting the next confirmation screen 24 is performed.

With the above configuration, according to the present invention, the input of a plurality of guest rooms to be used in advance and the total number of nights that is the sum of the number of nights in each guest room are received and stored, and each guest room corresponding to the stored number of guest rooms is stored. In the case where there is a room inventory corresponding to the above accepted start date and number of nights, the received number of nights is allocated to the total number of nights stored in advance and stored in advance. A reservation is made when the total number of nights is equal to the allocated number of nights.
