In ST203, when the accommodation reservation person comes to the accommodation facility and touches the touch panel display, or when a sensor arranged in the vicinity of the display detects the visitor of the customer, the facility computer displays a mail screen on the mobile phone in ST204. QR code including information to be sent, mail transmission destination address information, and identification code (for example, combination of 10-digit alphanumeric characters) information is created and displayed on the display. When the customer reads the QR code in ST205, the mobile phone is switched to the mail screen, and therefore, a visit notice mail (visit notice e-mail) is transmitted in ST206 without input or the like.

  The accommodation facility computer receives the visit notification email in ST207, and whether or not the sender email address of the visit notification email is registered in the accommodation reservation database in ST208 and, if registered, the email sender It is determined whether or not the accommodation usage conditions are met, that is, whether or not it is within the available time of the accommodation usage date. If the sender's e-mail address is not registered in the accommodation reservation database, or if it does not conform to the accommodation usage conditions, it will not be accepted as an e-mail from a legitimate reservation person, so the customer must do the accommodation reservation procedure (ST201) Don't be. On the other hand, if the transmission source e-mail address is registered in the accommodation reservation database and conforms to the accommodation use conditions, it is recognized as an e-mail from a regular accommodation reservation person.

  Next, in ST209, the facility computer determines whether or not the identification code included in the attendance notification mail is created within a predetermined time by the accommodation facility computer. If the identification code is not created within the prescribed time, it is not recognized that the guest has visited, so the procedure for visiting the facility again, that is, the procedure for sending an email based on the newly created QR code Do. On the other hand, if the identification code is created within a predetermined time, it is authenticated that the guest is visiting, and in ST210, the accommodation facility computer unlocks the door of the accommodation room.

  As described above, according to the visit authentication system of the present invention, a key, a card key, or the like is not necessary, and an administrator for delivering the key is not necessary, so that the cost is reduced. In addition, by managing the creation time of the identification code, it is highly safe without being tampered with or unlocked by an erroneously sent mail regardless of whether the customer is not currently in the facility. Since the authority of locking and unlocking can be given by the facility-side computer, it is not necessary to recover the key when the authority is removed or to exchange the lock because the key is lost. Furthermore, the authority of locking / unlocking can be changed at any time, and the authority can be changed from a remote place.

  The present embodiment is an example in which the visit authentication system of the present invention is used for an attendance management system for managing employee attendance as an alternative to a time card. First, in ST301, an employee performs employment procedures for the company. At this time, the email form of the employee's mobile phone is written on the employment form. The employee information including the mail address is recorded in the database of the company computer in ST302, and the employee attendance management system can be used.

  The company is equipped with a touch panel display. In ST303, the employee comes to the attendance / exit management device when attending or leaving the company. In ST304, the employee activates the screen by touching the touch panel, and selects a button indicating a status such as going to work, leaving work, going out, or returning. The company computer receives a QR code including information for displaying a mail screen on the mobile phone, mail destination address information, identification code (for example, a combination of 10-digit alphanumeric characters) information, and information indicating the selected state. It is created and displayed on the display, and the creation time of the identification code is recorded. At this time, time information is not included in the QR code to prevent falsification. When the employee reads the QR code in ST305, the mobile phone is switched to the mail screen, so the selected state is confirmed, and the state notification mail (visit notification e-mail) is transmitted as it is in ST306.

  The company-side computer receives the status notification mail in ST307, and determines whether the source mail address of the status notification mail is registered in the employee database in ST308. If the transmission source e-mail address is not registered in the employee database, the e-mail from the employee is not accepted, so the employee must perform the hiring procedure (ST301). On the other hand, when the sender email address is registered in the employee database, it is recognized as an email from the employee.

  Next, in ST309, the company side computer determines whether or not the identification code included in the attendance notification mail is created within a predetermined time by the company side computer. If the identification code is not created within the prescribed time, it is not recognized that the employee is visiting, so the procedure for visiting the company again, that is, a new QR code is created, and mail based on this Perform sending procedure. On the other hand, if the identification code is created within a predetermined time, it is authenticated that the employee is present, and in ST310, the company computer performs a recording process of status changes such as employee attendance / leaving. Do.

  As described above, according to the visit authentication system of the present invention, it is not necessary to issue a time card or the like and input the time of entry into the computer for management, thereby realizing resource saving by paperless and cost reduction by improving work efficiency. At the same time, it is possible to prevent impersonation such as surrogate embedding by a person who does not own the mobile phone.

  Furthermore, the visit authentication system and program according to the present invention is used as a hotel reservation management system to make a hotel reservation on a web page or the like, and record reservation person information and hotel reservation information including a mobile phone mail address in a reservation database, When the reservation person checks in to the hotel, the check-in procedure may be performed using the visit authentication system according to the present invention. Further, at the time of check-out, the check-out procedure may be performed by further using a visit authentication system according to the present invention that creates a QR code including an identification code. By using such a method, the procedure at the time of check-in / check-out can be simplified, waiting time can be reduced, and labor costs can be reduced.

  Furthermore, the visit authentication system and program according to the present invention may be used for airplane reservation / boarding procedures. In this case, the check-in procedure is performed using the visit authentication system according to the present invention at the time of boarding procedure. Similarly, by using the visit authentication system at the boarding gate, it is authenticated that the customer has visited the entrance gate and boarded (checked out) the airplane. In such a case, you can notify the boarding guidance by direct mail, and for hearing impaired people who can not hear the announcement in the hall, the incoming call of the e-mail is recognized by the vibrator function of the mobile phone, and the guidance content can be transmitted It is very convenient because it can.

  This is the end of the description of specific examples, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. For example, when using at a restaurant or the like, instead of placing a menu displaying a QR code in each table, the store-side computer generates a menu information web page and the customer displays the QR displayed in each table. The code is read and the order of the menu and the table number are transmitted to the store side computer by e-mail, and the store side computer automatically returns an e-mail containing a URL for accessing the menu information web page to the sender. It is good also as a form which browses a menu by accessing the said URL and performs order confirmation operation.

  By adopting such a form, the customer's mobile phone becomes a menu, so out-of-stock information and the like can be displayed on the menu in real time, or the contents of the menu can be easily changed. Moreover, it becomes possible to display a moving image, a sound, etc. besides the photograph and character of a product, and the customer's willingness to purchase can be enhanced.

  In addition, the store-side computer, after receiving the order mail, further notifies the detailed input page and performs the order confirmation procedure, but may be configured to confirm the order only by the order mail, or When you read the QR code corresponding to each product, you will be connected to the detailed input page, or it will become a screen for confirming the connection, and after entering and confirming the detailed information, it will become an e-mail screen containing the entered detailed information, It is good also as a form which orders by transmitting. In this case, the QR code includes the URL information of the detailed input page of each product, and after confirming whether or not the sender address of the e-mail including the detailed information has been checked in, the order is confirmed.

  In addition, it is not necessary to always display a two-dimensional code on the display. A sensor is installed on the display side, and a new identification code is created and a two-dimensional code is displayed when a visitor is detected. It is good also as such a form. Furthermore, since the time at which the identification code was created is important and it is not always necessary to create a different identification code for each customer, the two-dimensional code should be changed in accordance with the change rule that changes every predetermined time regardless of the customer's arrival. It is good also as a form which creates.

  Moreover, the store side computer does not need to be one unit, and it is sufficient that a plurality of units can communicate with each other by wire or wireless. Similarly, the database for recording member data, accommodation reservation data, and the like need not be a recording unit built in the store-side computer, and may be recorded on a host server or the like that can communicate with each other by wire or wirelessly. .

  In the above embodiment, a QR code is used as a two-dimensional code. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be a Data Matrix, PDF417, Maxi Code, Veri Code, etc. It may be a thing.
