  Hereinafter, the best embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The embodiment described below is an embodiment when the present invention is applied to a comprehensive service system.

[1. Overview of general service system configuration and functions]
First, the configuration and functional overview of the comprehensive service system S according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a schematic configuration of a comprehensive service system S according to the present embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the total service system S includes a total service site SITE, a mobile phone MPk (k = 1, 2,... N) as an example of a mobile communication terminal, and a plurality of terminal devices PCj (j = 1, 2,... M).

  The general service site SITE, the mobile phone MPk, and the terminal device PCj can exchange data with each other via the network NW. The network NW is constructed by, for example, the Internet, a dedicated communication line (for example, a CATV (Community Antenna Television) line), a mobile communication network (including a base station), a gateway, and the like. Here, in the Internet, for example, TCP / IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol) is used as a communication protocol in the network layer and the transport layer, while in a mobile communication network (packet network), for example, Because a protocol that matches TCP / IP with the mobile communication network is used, it is provided at a gateway station of the mobile communication network, and a gateway server that relays communication between the Internet and the mobile communication network. Communication protocol conversion has been performed. In addition, on the Internet, for example, HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) is used to transmit and receive Web pages (for example, composed of HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language), image data, audio data, text data, etc.). For example, SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is used for transmission / reception of e-mail, but a protocol different from these may be used in the mobile communication network. In the application layer, communication protocol conversion in the application layer is also performed.

  Here, the general service site SITE will be described. This site is a site established by a service provider that provides various services to the mobile phone MPk and the terminal device PCj via the network NW. For this purpose, the comprehensive service site SITE is not shown, in addition to the travel agency server TS as an example of a service processing apparatus including the database 100, but an Internet shopping server, a ticket reservation server, a content distribution server, a golf course reservation. The server includes a service providing server group for providing various services such as a server. These service providing server groups can exchange data with each other via, for example, a LAN (Local Area Network), and the database 100 is shared by the service providing server groups.

  Then, the user of the mobile phone MPk and the user of the terminal device PCj use these terminal devices to access the general service site SITE (the travel agency server TS in this embodiment) and perform member registration work (specifically). Specifically, the travel agency server TS registers user member information in the database 100), so that various services provided on the site can be used via the network NW. It has become.

For example, when a user registered as a member accesses each service providing server,
(1) Travel agency server TS: Accommodation reservation for accommodation facilities and ticket reservations for transportation facilities, etc. (2) Internet shopping server: Purchase of goods by mail order, etc. (3) Ticket reservation server: Movies, theaters, concerts, etc. Ticket reservation, etc. (4) Content distribution server: Downloading and viewing of contents such as videos and music, etc. (5) Golf course reservation server: Services such as golf course use reservation can be used.

  Here, the members of the integrated service system S are classified into regular members and associate members (an example of non-regular members). The regular member is a member who can register using either the mobile phone MPk or the terminal device PCj, and can use all services provided in the integrated service system S. However, a large amount of information must be input as member information when performing member registration work (details will be described later). In addition, the regular member inputs the member ID (identification information) and password assigned to the member to identify the member when accessing the comprehensive service site SITE in order to use the service provided in the comprehensive service system S. You have to do login work. The detailed method will be described in the explanation of the associate member. However, in the case of the user of the mobile phone MPk, if the service is used in a mode that does not require a specific procedure, it is not necessary to input the member ID or password. Also good.

  The associate member is a member provided in the system in order to make it easy to use the comprehensive service system S using the mobile phone MPk, and can only be registered using the mobile phone MPk. Yes. For this purpose, it is possible to register as an associate member by simply inputting the minimum necessary information (details will be described later).

  On the other hand, associate members cannot use some services that require specific procedures in each service. Here, in this embodiment, the specific procedure is a procedure necessary to receive the complete provision of the service. For example, the payment is made online with a credit card or the purchased product is delivered. And so on.

Below, the contents of restrictions on service usage by associate members are listed for each service providing server.
(1) Travel agent server TS: Although accommodation reservations can be made and the accommodation fee can be paid at the accommodation destination or the like, the usage fee cannot be paid in advance.
(2) Internet shopping server: You can purchase products that can be received at stores (substantially purchase reservations), but you can purchase products that can only be received by delivery, or select delivery for product delivery It is not possible to make payments or make payments online.
(3) Ticket reservation server: A ticket reservation can be made and a reservation ticket can be received at a ticket office or a convenience store, but the reservation ticket cannot be mailed to a home or the like.
(4) Content distribution server: It is possible to download or view free content, but cannot download or view paid content that needs to be paid for the purchase price.
(5) Golf course reservation server: The user can make a reservation for use of the golf course and pay the use price at the golf course, but the online payment cannot be made.

  In addition to the above, regardless of the necessity of specific procedures, the contents of services available to associate members may be restricted.

  If an associate member removes the above-mentioned usage restrictions and uses the full service, the associate member must go through a procedure for registering as a regular member. In addition, even when changing from an associate member to a regular member, registration is not possible without using the mobile phone MPk used when registering as an associate member.

  In addition, when a user registers as an associate member using the mobile phone MPk, when the user subsequently accesses the general service site SITE using the mobile phone MPk, the service is performed without performing the above-described login operation. It can be used now. Specifically, for example, reservation confirmation and its history, service points (members can acquire points according to the service every time the service is used, and by collecting the points, for example, The user of the mobile phone MPk who has accessed the general service site SITE, such as confirming and using the product, tickets, etc., receiving special information, etc.) is a specific member A service that cannot be used without identification can be used by the user without performing login work. In this way, the start of the use of the service without the user performing the login operation is referred to as “auto login”.

  In order to realize this function, in the present embodiment, the mobile communication service provider uses the identification information assigned to each user to identify the user of each mobile phone MPk. It was decided to perform authentication. This identification information is information that can be acquired by a WWW (World Wide Web) server or the like (including the comprehensive service site SITE), and is information added to the header when an HTTP request is transmitted from the mobile phone MPk, for example. It is. Even if the user changes the mobile phone MPk, if the change is within the same mobile communication carrier (model change), this identification information does not change before and after the change. (In fact, the same identification information is assigned unless the contract with the mobile carrier is canceled once and another contract is made).

  The name of the identification information varies depending on each mobile telecommunications carrier. In the present embodiment, this information is referred to as “UID” (user ID) (the user identification information One case). In the present embodiment, the UID is consistently described, but the information for identifying the user of the mobile phone MPk is not limited to this. For example, the information is uniquely assigned to each mobile phone MPk. Information that can correctly identify the user of the mobile phone MPk, such as the specified machine number, the phone number with which the user contracts, the card number of the ID card attached to the mobile phone MPk, and the comprehensive service site SITE May be information that can be acquired from the mobile phone MPk via the network NW.

  Here, the auto-login using the UID will be described. The general service site SITE that has acquired the UID included in the request transmitted from the mobile phone MPk is used by the user of the mobile phone MPk that has transmitted the request by the UID. It is specified whether or not it is a member of the system S and which member it is. Then, when the general service site SITE transmits page data corresponding to the member information of the identified member, use of the service is started. After that, the general service site SITE can transmit page data corresponding to the member while identifying the member by referring to the UID included in the request transmitted from the mobile phone MPk each time.

  However, the method described above is an example for realizing auto-login, and for example, session management may be used. That is, the general service site SITE acquires the UID included in the request transmitted from the mobile phone MPk and once identifies which member it is, in order to maintain the connection state (session) with the mobile phone MPk, A session ID that is unique identification information for each session is generated, the session ID is stored in association with the acquired UID, and the URI (Uniform including this session ID is included in the page data transmitted to the mobile phone MPk. Be sure to embed a Resource Identifier link. By doing so, the access destination URI of the request transmitted from the mobile phone MPk always includes the session ID, so that the general service site SITE continues to specify the user of the mobile phone MPk by this session ID. Can do.

  Next, on behalf of services provided in the comprehensive service system S, an outline of the flow of procedures when making a reservation for accommodation will be described. In the following description, the accommodation facility reservation and the travel agency server TS will be mainly described.

  FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a procedure flow in the case of making an accommodation reservation. FIG. 3 shows an example of information registered in the database 100 as member information, where (a) shows a case of an associate member and (b) shows a case of a regular member.

  In FIG. 2, the hotel is a hotel employee or the like who uses the terminal device PCj. For example, when the hotel and the general service provider make a contract, the travel agency server TS makes a reservation for the hotel accommodation. It is supposed to act as a proxy (it does not have to be registered as a regular member or associate member). On the other hand, it is assumed that the user uses the mobile phone MPk and is registered as an associate member here.

  When the user of the mobile phone MPk is registered as an associate member, as shown in FIG. 3A, the UID, the mobile mail address of the mobile phone MPk, and the nickname (an example of identification display information) are members. Information is registered in the database 100.

  As described above, the UID is information that the travel agency server TS can acquire from the mobile phone MPk, and the mobile mail address is automatically given as the mail address of the transmission source when the mobile phone MPk sends an e-mail. Therefore, the user does not need to input such information. The nickname is, for example, information displayed on the screen of the mobile phone MPk or the terminal device PCj as necessary so that a member who logs in to the general service site can identify himself or another member. By entering this nickname, you are registered as an associate member.

  On the other hand, in the case of a regular member, as shown in FIG. 3B, in addition to the UID, the mobile mail address, and the nickname, for example, the mail address (other than the mobile mail address), for identifying the member of the comprehensive service system S The member ID, login password, user name, postal code, address, telephone number, date of birth, gender, credit card number, expiration date, etc. are registered. These pieces of information are information input by the user in order to register regular members.

  Among these, the specific information is information (an example of essential information) necessary for performing the specific procedure described above, and whether or not it is necessary is determined depending on the content of the specific procedure. (For example, the member ID and password for logging in when transferring to a specific service, or the name, zip code, address, and telephone number necessary to verify the identity and deliver the product. Or credit card number for expediting purchases, expiry date, etc.). Therefore, necessary information may differ depending on the contents of services provided by each service providing server. Information included in the member information of the regular member but not included in the member information of the associate member is referred to as “difference information”. Further, in the example of FIG. 3B, the UID and the mobile mail address are registered, but when registering as a regular member from the beginning using the terminal device PCj, such information is not registered. It has become. Further, in the example of FIG. 3B, two mail addresses other than the mobile mail address and the mobile mail address are registered. However, as described above, registration is performed using the terminal device PCj as a regular member from the beginning. In this case, only a mail address other than the mobile mail address may be registered, or when participating in each service using only the mobile terminal MPk, only the mobile mail address may be registered. In other words, a configuration may be adopted in which only one mail address is registered.

  Returning to FIG. 2, first, the hotel inputs information about the guest room using the terminal device PCj and entrusts the acceptance of the accommodation reservation (step S1). On the other hand, the user stays using the mobile phone MPk. A reservation is made (step S2). At this time, if payment is made at the accommodation as the payment method for the accommodation fee, the reservation is completed. Then, the user stays at the reserved hotel and pays the accommodation fee (step S4). However, in the case of an associate member, the accommodation reservation will be canceled unless the accommodation confirmation is notified to the accommodation several days before the check-in (for example, two days). On the other hand, when online payment by a credit card is selected as the payment method for the accommodation fee, the user performs regular member registration work (step S3). At this time, the user registers the above-described difference information. Thereby, the reservation is completed, and then the user stays at the reserved hotel (step S4).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when making a reservation for an accommodation facility, it is possible to use the service as an associate member by omitting input of difference information that is not necessarily required when using the service. When the procedure becomes necessary, the user is made to input the difference information including the information necessary for the procedure, thereby facilitating the use of the service using the cellular phone MPk and promoting the member registration.

  If the user who made the accommodation reservation is a regular member, the regular member registration operation (step S3) is omitted. In this case, either the mobile phone MPk or the terminal device PCj may be used.

[2. Configuration and function of travel agency server]
Next, the configuration and functions of the travel agency server TS will be described with reference to FIG.

  The travel agency server TS serves as a travel site in the general service site SITE for accommodation facilities and transportation facilities for mobile phones MPk and terminal devices PCj (hereinafter also simply referred to as mobile phones MPk) accessed via the network NW. Provide various information related to travel (such as airplanes, express buses, etc.), and in response to requests from mobile phones MPk, etc., processing of accommodation reservations and transportation ticket reservations etc. Yes. The travel agency server TS registers a user such as the mobile phone MPk as a member of the total service system S, and performs processing such as updating member information of the registered member and withdrawal.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing an example of a schematic configuration of the travel agency server TS according to the present embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the travel agency server TS receives an operation instruction from an operator or the like, and outputs the instruction content as an instruction signal to the system control unit 20 (for example, a keyboard, a mouse, etc.) A display unit 12 (for example, a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) display, a liquid crystal display, etc.) that displays information such as characters and images, and a communication unit 13 that is connected to the network NW and controls the communication state with the mobile phone MPk or the like. For example, while reading data from a disk DK such as a flexible disk, CD (Compact Disc), DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), etc., the drive unit 14 for recording data etc. on the disk DK, various programs and data For example, a storage unit 15 (for example, a hard disk drive), an operation unit 11 to a storage unit 15, and a system. An input / output interface unit 16 that performs interface processing with the control unit 20, a system control unit 20 including a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 17, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 18, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 19, and the like; The system control unit 20 and the input / output interface unit 16 are connected via a system bus 21.

  A database 100 is constructed in the storage unit 15. In this database 100, the member information of the regular member and the associate member shown in FIG. 3 is associated with, for example, the serial ID that is the serial number of the member so that it can be further determined whether the member is a regular member or an associate member. It is registered. For example, when the member ID is set in the member information, it can be determined that the member is a regular member, and when the member ID is not set, it is determined that the member is a associate member. In addition, for example, the member type indicating whether the member is a regular member or a quasi member is registered in the member information, and it is determined whether the member is a regular member or a quasi member by referring to this information. May be.

  In the database 100, HTML data, image data, voice data, text data, and the like constituting page data of the travel site are registered. Furthermore, in the database 100, accommodation facility information related to the accommodation facility, and accommodation reservation information related to the reservation status of the guest room of the accommodation facility are registered in association with, for example, a hotel ID uniquely assigned to each accommodation facility. Furthermore, information related to the reservation status of transportation facilities is registered in the database 100.

  In addition to a predetermined operating system, the storage unit 15 generates page data based on various data registered in the database 100 in response to a request transmitted from the mobile phone MPk or the like using the HTTP protocol. The WWW server program for transmitting the page data to the mobile phone MPk, etc., while receiving the e-mail transmitted from the other mail server using the SMTP protocol, the electronic device created in the travel agency server TS Manages member information of members of the integrated service system S using the database 100, a mail server program for sending mail to other mail servers, and registration, withdrawal (deletion of registration), membership information of associate members and regular members Membership information management program for executing processing such as Of fees management and accommodation booking, transportation vacancy management, such as travel service management program for executing a process related to ticket reservation and the like are stored.

  Various programs may be acquired from, for example, other servers via the network NW, or may be recorded on a disk DK such as a CD-ROM and read via the drive unit 14. May be.

  In this embodiment, the system control unit 20 includes a non-regular member registration request receiving unit, a non-regular member registration unit, a procedure request receiving unit, a determining unit, an essential information input request transmitting unit, an essential information receiving unit, an essential member registration unit, and a transmission information request. Reception means, unique information generation means, mail transmission request transmission means, mail reception means, storage means, mail reply means, determination means, mail address information registration means, identification display information input request transmission means, identification display information reception means, identification display An example of the information registration means is configured.

  The system control unit 20 controls the respective units of the travel agency server TS by the CPU 17 reading and executing various programs stored in the ROM 18 and the storage unit 15 and functions as the above-described units and the like. It has become.

  Specifically, the system control unit 20 transmits page data for transmitting an e-mail for temporary registration in order to register an e-mail as member information of the associate member, and the temporary registration transmitted from the mobile phone MPk. The mobile mail address included in the electronic mail and the user UID of the mobile phone MPk are associated with each other and temporarily registered. Then, the system control unit 20 notifies the temporary registration and transmits a reply e-mail prompting the associate member's main registration to the mobile phone MPk. Further, when the user of the mobile phone MPk that has received the reply e-mail accesses the URI included in the reply e-mail, the system control unit 20 sends the temporarily registered UID and portable e-mail address to the user. The entered nickname is registered in the database 100 as member information, and associate members are registered.

  More specifically, when the user selects the URI link indicating the quasi-member registration included in the page data transmitted in advance to the mobile phone MPk, the system control unit 20 as the transmission information request receiving means In addition, a temporary registration request (an example of transmission information request information) transmitted from the mobile phone MPk is received.

  Then, the system control unit 20 as the unique information generation unit acquires the UID included in the header of the temporary registration request, and creates a serial ID that is a serial number for the request. In addition to acquiring the UID from the temporary registration request, for example, a top page of a travel site or the like (including a URI link for registering an associate member (for sending an e-mail described later)) After that, the UID may be held by session management or the like. The system control unit 20 that has received the temporary registration request then converts the serial ID and UID into plain text and encrypts the registration ID to identify each associate member registration process as a session. (An example of unique information) is created. Note that the registration ID is not necessarily encrypted as long as it is at least one-to-one correspondence with the UID. For example, the hash value of the serial ID and UID is calculated and the hash value is registered. It is good also as ID. In this case, for example, if a registration ID, a serial ID, and a UID are stored in association with each other, the corresponding UID can be acquired from the registration ID.

  Further, the system control unit 20 as a mail transmission request transmission unit includes the created registration ID in the account of the e-mail address, and creates a mail address specifying the travel agency server TS itself as a domain name (for example, registration) If the ID is abcdef and the domain name is xyz.sougou.co.jp, an email address of abcdef@xyz.sougou.co.jp is created). Then, the system control unit 20 creates empty mail transmission page data (for example, HTML data including the mail address in a mailto tag) for transmitting an e-mail addressed to the mail address from the mobile phone MPk. The page data (an example of e-mail transmission request information) is transmitted to the mobile phone MPk that has transmitted the associate member registration request.

  In addition, the system control unit 20 as a mail receiving means sends an e-mail addressed to the e-mail address transmitted from the mobile phone MPk (the e-mail address is set in the to field), for example, in a mobile communication network. Receive from a mail server.

  Then, the system control unit 20 serving as a storage unit decrypts the registration ID set in the mail account part of the mail address specified in the to field to obtain the UID, and the UID and the mail from which the e-mail is transmitted Addresses (mobile mail addresses of mobile phones MPk set in the from field) are associated with each other and temporarily registered in the database 100. Here, provisional registration refers to registering information in the database 100 for the sake of convenience for later member registration processing, and is not registered as official member information. Instead of temporarily registering in the database 100, for example, it may be stored in the RAM 19 or the like.

  Furthermore, the system control unit 20 as a mail reply means creates a URI including a registration ID acquired from the received electronic mail (for example, if the registration ID is abcdef, http://www.xyz. sougou.co.jp/id/abcdef). Then, the system control unit 20 sets a message for encouraging the main member to register to the associate member and the URI link in the mail body, and a temporary registration mail (an example of a reply e-mail) whose destination is the temporarily registered mobile mail address. ) And the temporary registration mail is transmitted to a mail server or the like in the mobile communication network of the mobile phone MPk.

  In addition, the system control unit 20 as the non-regular member registration request receiving unit selects the URI link described in the text of the mobile phone MPk when the user of the mobile phone MPk receiving the temporary registration mail selects the mobile phone MPk. The main registration request (an example of non-regular member registration request information) transmitted from is received.

  Then, the system control unit 20 as the determination unit acquires a registration ID from the URI of the access destination included in the main registration request, decodes the registration ID, and acquires the UID. Then, the system control unit 20 acquires the UID included in the main registration request header or the like, and determines whether or not the UID matches the decrypted UID. Here, only when the UIDs match, the system control unit 20 causes the user of the mobile phone MPk to input a nickname and continues the process for registering the member information of the user.

  When the UIDs match, the system control unit 20 serving as the identification display information input request transmission means stores nickname input page data (an example of identification display information input request information) including an input form for inputting a nickname in the database 100. And the page data is transmitted to the mobile phone MPk that has transmitted the main registration request.

  And the system control part 20 as an identification display information receiving means receives the nickname input by the user through the page data for nickname input received in the mobile telephone MPk.

  Finally, the system control unit 20 as the mail address information registering means and the identification display information registering means, the UID and the mobile mail address temporarily registered in association with each other, the nickname input to the user of the mobile phone MPk, Is registered in the database 100.

  As described above, the system control unit 20 is configured to perform the associate member registration process.

  Next, the system control unit 20 causes the user of the mobile phone MPk to input the difference information when the credit card settlement is selected by the associate member during the accommodation reservation process, and the member information including the difference information is input. By registering in the database 100, a regular member is registered.

  More specifically, the system control unit 20 responds to a request transmitted from the member's mobile phone MPk or the like, and provides accommodation facility information (for example, accommodation facility name, guidance, address, postal code, telephone number, and room type). , Accommodation charges, availability of meals, transportation access method, etc.) and accommodation reservation information (for example, availability of each type of guest room corresponding to the date, etc.) are read from the database 100 and page data on which the information is posted create. Then, the system control unit 20 transmits the page data to the mobile phone MPk or the like.

  In addition, the system control unit 20 receives a reservation request transmitted from the mobile phone MPk when the member performs an accommodation facility selection operation or the like through the accommodation facility information displayed on the screen in the mobile phone MPk. , The room type, check-in date, check-out date, etc. included in the reservation request, and the UID included in the header of the request, etc. Reservation information including a UID or the like may be registered in the database 100 in association with the hotel ID.

  Then, the system control unit 20 transmits to the mobile phone MPk a reservation completion notification page data displaying a message that the reservation is completed and a credit payment button that is a button for selecting the advance credit card payment. It has become. At this time, if the user who requested the reservation is an associate member, for example, a warning message to the effect that the hotel must be confirmed at least two days before check-in is added to the reservation completion notification page data. It has become. That is, for example, the system control unit 20 receives information such as presence / absence of reservation confirmation from the terminal device PCj of the accommodation facility, and refers to the associate member reservation information registered in the database 100. However, if it is determined that there is no notification that the reservation has been confirmed even two days before check-in, the reservation information of the associate member is canceled by deleting the reservation information. .

  The system control unit 20 as a procedure request receiving means receives a credit settlement request (an example of procedure request information) transmitted from the mobile phone MPk or the like. This credit settlement request is a request indicating that the accommodation fee is settled with a credit card in advance.

  In addition, when the system control unit 20 as a determination unit receives a credit settlement request, the member who selected the advance credit card settlement as the accommodation payment method (the user of the mobile phone MPk that transmitted the credit settlement request) is an associate member. For example, the member information specified from the UID included in the header of the credit settlement request or the UID acquired at the time of login to the travel site is read from the database 100. This is determined based on whether or not a member ID is set in the member information.

  Further, when the user who made the reservation is a quasi member, the system control unit 20 as the essential information input request transmission means determines the difference information according to the regular member registration request transmitted from the mobile phone MPk of the quasi member. Is read from the database 100, and the page data is transmitted to the associate member mobile phone MPk.

  Further, the system control unit 20 as essential information receiving means receives the difference information input to the user through the difference information input page data received by the mobile phone MPk.

  Finally, the system control unit 20 as a regular member registration unit adds the received difference information to the member information indicated by the UID included in the regular member registration request and registers it in the database 100.

  Detailed description of the service providing servers other than the travel agent server TS will be omitted, but the configuration and functions of the service providing servers are the same as those of the travel agent except for the processing related to the service provided uniquely in each service providing server. Basically in common with the server TS. However, when processing member registration, withdrawal, update of member information, etc., control is transferred from the other service providing server to the travel agency server TS, and processing is performed exclusively at the travel agency server TS. Alternatively, an independent general management server may be provided and processed by the server.

  More specifically, the travel agent server TS manages, for example, information related to accommodation facilities and transportation facilities registered in the travel agent database, etc., and reservation management that performs processing such as vacant room management, vacancy management, and reservation acceptance. Based on various information and the like managed by the server and other servers, the travel site may be constituted by a plurality of server devices such as a WWW server that provides various information related to travel to the mobile phone MPk or the like.

  In addition, processing related to a plurality of services or all services may be performed by one server device.

[3. Configuration and function of mobile phone]
Next, the configuration and function of the mobile phone MPk will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing an example of a schematic configuration of the mobile phone MPk according to the present embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the mobile phone MPk receives an operation instruction from the user, outputs an instruction content to the system control unit 41 as an instruction signal, and dials, cursor buttons, and the like, And a display unit 32 (for example, a liquid crystal display) that displays information such as images and images on the screen.

  The mobile phone MPk is connected to a mobile communication network by radio wave transmission / reception with a base station, and controls a communication with a server connected to another mobile phone MPk or a network NW, for example, A voice input unit 34 having a microphone, a D / A converter, and the like, and generating voice data corresponding to the voice when the user's uttered voice is input from the microphone, and outputting the voice data to the wireless communication unit 33; A voice output unit 35 having an amplifier circuit and the like, generating a voice corresponding to the voice data supplied from the wireless communication unit 33 and expanding the voice by a speaker, a call with another mobile phone MPk, a server, etc. Data communication with is possible. As a communication system in such a mobile communication network, for example, a PDC (Personal Digital Cellular) system, a GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) system, an IMT-2000 (International Mobile Telecommunication 2000) system, etc. are adopted.

  Furthermore, the mobile phone MPk includes a storage unit (for example, a flash memory) 36 that stores various programs and data.

  For example, the storage unit 36 communicates with a WWW server using a control program for controlling each unit of the mobile phone MPk, an HTTP protocol, and the like, and displays page data transmitted from the WWW server on the screen. Web browser applications, programs for executing programs in the format of JAVA (registered trademark), e-mails based on user operations, and transmission / reception of e-mails with a predetermined mail server in the mobile communication network An e-mail application or the like is stored.

  Furthermore, the cellular phone MPk includes an input / output interface unit 37 that performs interface processing between the operation unit 31 to the storage unit 36 and the system control unit 41, a system control unit 41 (for example, a CPU 38, a ROM 39, a RAM 40, and the like). The system control unit 41 and the input / output interface unit 37 are connected via a system bus 42.

  In this embodiment, the system control unit 41 constitutes an example of a non-regular member registration request transmission unit, a procedure request transmission unit, an essential information input request reception unit, and an essential information transmission unit.

  The system control unit 18 controls the entire mobile phone MPk by the CPU 38 reading and executing various programs stored in the ROM 39 and the storage unit 36, and functions as the above-described units and the like.

  Next, the terminal device PCj is a computer or the like that can be connected to the network NW via a wired communication network such as PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) or FTTH (Fiber To The Home), for example, a personal computer, STB, etc. (Set Top Box), video game machines, etc. can be applied.

[4. Operation of integrated service system S]
Next, the operation of the comprehensive service system S will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 10. First, the case of registering as an associate member will be described, and then the case of an associate member making an accommodation reservation for an accommodation facility. To do.

  6 and 7 are flowcharts showing an example of an outline of processing at the time of quasi-member registration of the integrated service system S according to the present embodiment. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a screen display example by the mobile phone MPk at the time of associate member registration.

  First, when a user of the mobile phone MPk starts a Web browser application by operating the operation unit 31 and designates a travel site URL (Uniform Resource Locator), as shown in FIG. 6, system control of the mobile phone MPk is performed. The unit 41 transmits a request for page data of the travel site to the travel agency server TS (requests access to the travel site) (step S11).

  The system controller 20 of the travel agency server TS that has received the request (accepted access) (step S31) reads or creates page data including accommodation information corresponding to the specified URL from the database 100, The page data is transmitted to the mobile phone MPk (step S32). This page data includes, for example, information such as a tag for displaying a button “Register as associate member”. More specifically, in the page data, “regular member is logged in” and information such as a tag for displaying a button are registered as information for logging in if it is a regular member, and if it is a new user, it is registered as an associate member. Therefore, information such as a tag for displaying a button “Register as an associate member” is included.

  The system control unit 41 of the mobile phone MPk that has received this page data displays the page data on the screen (step S12). When the user selects a button or the like displayed as “Register as associate member”, the system control unit 41 transmits a temporary registration request to the travel agency server TS (step S13).

  The system control unit 20 of the travel agency server TS that has received the temporary registration request registers the UID included in the request in the storage unit 15 (step S33). Then, the system control unit 41 transmits the empty mail transmission page data to the mobile phone MPk (step S34). Specifically, the system control unit 20 creates a serial ID for the temporary registration request, creates a registration ID by encrypting the serial ID and the UID as plain text, and then sends an email including the registration ID. An address is created (for example, 248676448@xyz.sougou.co.jp: 248676448 is a registration ID, and xyz.sougou.co.jp is a domain name of the travel agency server TS). Then, the system control unit 20 embeds this mail address in the empty mail transmission page data (for example, <a href="mailto:248676448@xyz.sougou.co.jp"> click here </a>) ,Send.

  The system control unit 41 of the mobile phone MPk that has received the empty mail transmission page data displays the page data on the screen (step S14). Thereby, for example, as shown in FIG. 8A, “click here” or the like is displayed. Then, the system control unit 41 determines whether or not to register an associate member (step S15). For example, when the user terminates the web browser application, the system control unit 41 determines not to register (step S15). S15: NO), the process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when the user selects “click here” displayed on the screen to register the associate member (step S15: YES), the system control unit 41 activates the e-mail application. The e-mail form in which the mail address of the travel agency server TS is set in the destination field is displayed on the screen as shown in FIG. 8B, for example (step S16). Here, when the user selects transmission of e-mail, the system control unit 41 sets the e-mail address of the travel agency server TS as the destination, and sets the user's mobile e-mail address as the transmission source (for example, to: 248676448 @ (e.g., xyz.sougou.co.jp, from: hhhh@keitai.ne.jp) is created and transmitted to a predetermined mail server in the mobile communication network (step S17). Note that the content of the e-mail transmitted here is empty (nothing is entered in the subject and text), but there is no problem even if some content is entered.

  The system controller 20 of the travel agency server TS that has received this e-mail (step S35) acquires the registration ID from the account part of the e-mail address set in the to field of the e-mail, and decrypts this registration ID. After the original serial ID and UID are extracted, if this UID matches the UID registered in step S33, the UID is associated with the mobile mail address set in the from field of the e-mail. Are temporarily registered in the database 100 (step S36). Then, the system control unit 20 sets a mobile mail address as a destination, and sets a URI link including a registration ID (for example, http://www.xyz.sougou.co.jp/id/24867644) in the text. The temporary registration mail is created and the electronic mail is transmitted (step S37).

  Thereafter, the system control unit 41 of the mobile phone MPk receives a temporary registration mail from a mail server in the mobile communication network at an arbitrary timing (step S18), and the contents of the e-mail are changed to, for example, FIG. Is displayed on the screen. When the URI link displayed on the screen is selected by the user, the system control unit 41 transmits a main registration request with the URI as an access destination (step S19).

  The system controller 20 of the travel agency server TS that has received this registration request (step S38) acquires the UID included in the request, acquires the registration ID included in the access destination URI, and uses this registration ID. After decrypting and extracting the original serial ID and UID, the two UIDs are compared (step S39). Then, the system control unit 20 determines whether or not the UIDs match (step S40). If they do not match (step S40: NO), the process ends.

  On the other hand, when the UIDs match (step S40: YES), the system control unit 20 transmits nickname input page data to the mobile phone MPk (step S41).

  The system control unit 41 of the mobile phone MPk that has received the nickname input page data displays the page data on the screen as shown in FIG. 8D, for example (step S20). When the user inputs a nickname (step S21) and selects a confirmation button (next button) or the like, the system control unit 41 transmits the input nickname to the travel agency server TS (step S22). .

  The system control unit 20 of the travel agency server TS that has received the nickname (step S42), for example, creates registration content confirmation page data for allowing the user to confirm the content to be registered as member information from now on, Transmit to the mobile phone MPk (step S43). If the same nickname received is already registered by another user, a process for causing the user to input another nickname is executed.

  The system control unit 41 of the mobile phone MPk that has received the registration content confirmation page data displays the page on the screen as shown in FIG. 8E, for example (step S22). Here, for example, a nickname input by the user, a mobile mail address, and the like are displayed. When the confirmation button or the like is selected by the user, the system control unit 41 transmits a registration confirmation request to the travel agency server TS (step S23).

  The system control unit 20 of the travel agency server TS that has received the registration confirmation request, the UID acquired in step S39, the mobile mail address temporarily registered in the database 100 in association with the UID, and the nickname input by the user Is officially registered in the database 100 as member information (step S44), and registration completion page data is transmitted to the mobile phone MPk (step S45).

  The system control unit 20 of the mobile phone MPk that has received the registration completion page data displays the page data on the screen as shown in FIG. 8F, for example (step S24), and ends the process.

  The above is the process for registering associate members. When a user's mobile email address is changed after the user is registered as an associate member, the mobile email address of the member information is updated. Can be processed in the same manner as described above. In this case, for example, when the UID is acquired in step S33, if the UID is included in any of the member information registered in the database 100, the mobile mail address of the member information in step S44. Can be registered.

  Next, a case where a new user registers as an associate member and reserves accommodation at an accommodation facility will be described. First, a case where normal member registration is not performed (when advance credit card payment is not performed) will be described, and then a regular member will be registered. The case (when making a pre-credit card payment) will be described.

  FIG. 9 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the flow of processing in the case where a new user makes a semi-member registration and makes a reservation for an accommodation facility without registering as a regular member in the integrated service system S according to the present embodiment. .

  In the following description, as shown in FIG. 2, it is assumed that the user makes an accommodation reservation using the mobile phone MPk, and the user is not yet registered as a member at the beginning.

  As shown in FIG. 9, first, the user of the mobile phone MPk operates the mobile phone MPk to input accommodation facility search conditions (for example, accommodation period, number of people, number of rooms, room charge, area, etc.). (Step S101) When an inquiry request for accommodation reservation information is transmitted to the travel agency server TS (Step S102), the travel agency server TS reads from the database 100 the availability of accommodation facilities that meet the search conditions included in the request. Etc. (step S103), and page data including the result is transmitted to the mobile phone MPk (step S104). At this time, for example, the page data includes “information for displaying that the accommodation reservation requires login (login as a regular member) or registration as an associate member”. In other words, the conditions for making an accommodation reservation are that login as a regular member has been completed, or that registration as an associate member has been completed. . Therefore, if a user who does not meet the conditions tries to make a reservation, for example, page data of an error display (display as an associate member or a prompt to log in as a regular member) on the travel agency server TS side Is transmitted to the mobile terminal MPk.

  Then, the accommodation reservation information is displayed on the screen of the mobile phone MPk, and then the above-mentioned associate member registration process is executed between the travel agency server TS and the mobile phone MPk (step S105).

  In this way, when the user of the mobile phone MPk is registered as an associate member, the user selects the accommodation facility desired to make a reservation through the accommodation reservation information displayed on the screen (step S106), thereby the mobile phone MPk. Transmits a reservation request to the travel agency server TS (step S107).

  The travel agency server TS that has received the reservation request identifies that the user is a specific associate member by the UID included in the request or the UID included in the previous request. The reservation information including the UID indicating the reserved member, the type of the guest room, the staying period, and the like is registered in the database 100 in association with the reserved hotel ID, etc., thereby accepting the stay reservation (step S108).

  Next, the travel agency server TS transmits the reservation completion notification page data (including a reservation completion message and a credit settlement button), but before that, if the user of the mobile phone MPk is an associate member , “Please contact XX Hotel to confirm your reservation by XX month XX day (2 days before check-in). If you do not contact us by this date, your reservation will be cancelled. A warning message such as “contact phone number XXX-XXXX-XXXX” is added to the page data and transmitted (step S109).

  Then, although the reservation completion notification page data is displayed on the screen on the mobile phone MPk (step S110), the user does not select the advance credit card settlement (pay the accommodation fee at the accommodation), so the processing ends here. .

  Next, the case of registering as a regular member will be described.

  FIG. 10 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of a processing flow in the case where an associate member registers as a regular member and reserves an accommodation facility in the integrated service system S according to the present embodiment.

  The inquiry to the accommodation reservation information, the quasi-member registration, and the accommodation reservation (steps S101 to S110) are the same as in the case where the regular member registration is not performed. Thereafter, when the user selects the credit settlement button displayed on the screen (step S111), the mobile phone MPk transmits a credit settlement request to the travel agency server TS (S112).

  The travel agency server TS that has received the credit settlement request reads the corresponding member information from the database 100 by referring to the UID included in the request or the UID acquired at the time of login, etc. Thus, it is determined that the user of the mobile phone MPk is an associate member (step S113), and the difference information input page data including a message to register as a regular member and an input form for inputting the difference information is carried. Transmit to the telephone set MPk (step S114).

  The mobile phone MPk that has received the difference information input page data displays the page data on the screen, and when the difference information is input by the user and the confirm button or the like is selected (step S115), the mobile phone MPk The difference information thus transmitted is transmitted to the travel agency server TS (step S116).

  Upon receiving the difference information, the travel agency server TS adds the difference information to the member information of the user of the mobile phone MPk and registers it in the database 100. When the user is registered as a regular member (step S117), the registration is completed. The page data including the message to the effect and the credit settlement button is transmitted to the mobile phone MPk (S118), and the mobile phone MPk displays the page data on the screen (step S119).

  Then, when the user selects the credit settlement button displayed on the screen again (step S120), the mobile phone MPk transmits a credit settlement request (step S121), and the user is already a regular member. The store server TS determines that the user is a regular member (step S122), refers to the card number of the credit card, the expiration date, etc. from the member information of the user and executes a settlement process (step S123). Exit.

  Regarding services other than accommodation reservations, operations (particularly processing on other service providing servers) including the case of registering as an associate member or registering as a regular member differ for each service. Since the operation itself when registering a member or registering a regular member is basically the same as that described above, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  Of course, reservation services for tickets and golf courses can be processed in the same manner as described above, for example, and for ticket reservations and mail-order sales, purchase of goods and tickets that do not involve delivery or credit settlement In this case, quasi-members may be registered, and regular members may be registered when delivery or credit settlement is involved. As for content distribution, for example, registration of associate members may be performed when downloading free content, and registration of regular members may be performed when downloading paid content.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the travel agency server TS includes the database 100 in which member information of regular members and associate members who can use the comprehensive service system S is registered. The information includes difference information including information necessary for a specific procedure such as advance credit card payment in the service provided in the comprehensive service system S, and the member information of the associate member includes the difference information. It is not like that. Then, the travel agency server TS receives the main registration request including the UID, and registers the member information including the UID in the database 100. Thereafter, the travel agency server TS transmits accommodation reservation information to the mobile phone MPk in response to a request from the associate member's mobile phone MPk. When the credit settlement transmitted from the mobile phone MPk is received by selecting the travel agent server TS, the travel agency server TS uses the UID included in the request or the UID acquired at the time of login or the like in advance. It is determined whether or not the user who has selected the credit card payment is a quasi-member. If the selected user is a quasi-member, the difference information input page data is transmitted to the mobile phone MPk of the quasi-member. Difference entered by the user through the page data for differential information input displayed on the screen in the telephone MPk When the broadcast is received from the mobile phone MPk, it adapted to register in the database 100 by adding the difference information to a user of the member information of the mobile phone MPk.

  Therefore, the user of the mobile phone MPk can easily register an associate member without inputting information necessary for the credit settlement, thereby using the accommodation reservation service that does not require the credit settlement. can do. Further, since the user is identified by the UID registered in the database 100, the user can use the accommodation reservation service without inputting a password or the like. In addition, if this is applied to the general service site SITE, the user of the mobile phone MPk can easily register associate members without inputting information necessary for specific procedures such as credit settlement and product delivery. Thus, various services that do not require a specific procedure can be used, and further, various services can be used without entering a password or the like.

  When the travel agency server TS receives a temporary registration request from the mobile phone MPk, the travel agency server TS creates a registration ID in which the UID and serial ID included in the request are plain text, and includes the registration ID in the destination e-mail address. Empty mail transmission page data for transmitting an e-mail is transmitted to the mobile phone MPk. Then, when transmission of e-mail is selected through the empty mail transmission page data displayed on the screen of the mobile phone MPk, the e-mail application is started by the mobile phone MPk, and the registration ID is included in the destination mail address. In addition, an electronic mail having the mobile mail address as the transmission source mail address is transmitted. Then, the travel agency server TS that has received this e-mail decrypts the registration ID included in the destination e-mail address, obtains the UID, associates the UID with the source e-mail address, and temporarily stores it in the database 100. Register, set a URI link including the registration ID in the temporary registration mail, and send the electronic mail. After that, in the mobile phone MPk that has received the temporary registration mail, when the URI link is selected by the user and the main registration request is transmitted by the mobile phone MPk, the travel agency server TS registers from the URI included in the request. An ID is acquired, and the registration ID is decrypted to acquire a UID. Then, the travel agency server TS determines whether or not the UID matches the UID included in the main registration request. If the UID matches, the travel agent server TS temporarily registers the UID in association with the UID. Member information including the mobile e-mail address is registered in the database 100.

  Therefore, the mobile e-mail address currently used can be registered as member information without causing the user of the mobile phone MPk to perform an input operation, thereby making it possible to notify a travel site or the like by e-mail. Further, it is possible to perform member registration with higher security by determining the coincidence of UIDs. Furthermore, an accurate mobile mail address can be registered as member information. This is useful because it prevents incorrect input when a mail address is manually input, and prevents registration of an illegal mobile mail address.

  Further, when the travel agency server TS performs the main registration of the user of the mobile phone MPk as an associate member, the travel agency server TS transmits page data for nickname input to the mobile phone MPk, and the page displayed on the screen of the mobile phone MPk. The nickname input by the user is received from the mobile phone MPk through the data, and the nickname is also included in the member information and registered in the database 100.

  Therefore, when displaying information related to the services provided in the comprehensive service system S, it becomes possible to display the nickname of the associate member as necessary, so that the user can use while identifying himself / herself and other members. Such a service (for example, a service in which a plurality of members participate at the same time) can be provided.

  In the embodiment described above, all nicknames are manually input in the final registration of associate members, but the nickname input method is not limited to this. For example, even if the travel agent server TS creates an appropriate nickname (one that does not overlap with a registered nickname) based on the tentatively registered UID or mobile mail address, etc., and registers this in the member information Alternatively, some nickname candidates may be created, the candidates may be displayed on the screen by the mobile phone MPk, and the user may select from among them. By doing in this way, the input burden of the user at the time of associate member registration is further reduced.

  Furthermore, it is not necessary to register a nickname when registering an associate member. In this case, for example, when the travel agency server TS needs to display the user of the mobile phone MPk that transmitted the request when creating the page data in response to the request of the mobile phone MPk, the nickname If you create page data that displays "You are" in the column, the mobile phone MPk user can at least identify himself / herself from other members by confirming "You are" etc. displayed on the screen. It can be confirmed separately.

  However, regarding the services described in the embodiment (accommodation, ticket reservation, Internet shopping, ticket reservation, content distribution, golf course reservation, etc.), it is not necessary to display the member's nickname on the screen.

  In the present embodiment, the mobile mail address is registered when registering the associate member. For example, the travel agent server TS page is accessed by accessing the travel agent server TS from the mobile phone MPk. If the member is notified of service information in the form of data transmission, the mobile mail address need not be registered.

  In the present embodiment, e-mail is exchanged between the travel agency server TS and the mobile phone MPk when registering associate members. However, the user of the mobile phone MPk is specified by the UID. However, if it is possible to register as an associate member, sending and receiving of e-mails may be omitted.

  In addition, the specific procedures that cannot be used without becoming a regular member are not limited to online payment or shipping of products, etc., and those described for each service described above are fixed in the service. Rather, the basic service content is the same, but can be appropriately changed depending on the provision mode.

  Further, the services to which the present invention can be applied are not limited to those described above, and can be applied to other services.

  In the above embodiment, the general service site that provides various services has been described. However, the present invention may be applied to a site that provides only a specific service, for example.
