  FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining processing between the mobile communication terminal and the store access server, where (a) relates to a processing example on the mobile communication terminal side, and (b) relates to a processing example on the store access server side. The store access server 3 accesses until the mobile communication terminal 2 reads the access information from the wireless IC tag 11 of the store introduction IC tag 1 via the reader / writer according to the operation (S111 / S131) and accesses (S112 / S132). Standby reception processing for receiving and receiving is normally performed.

  When the store access server 3 receives an access during standby reception processing, the store access server 3 checks whether or not information such as a management ID and PW from the other party who has accessed is attached, and if attached, reads the attached information. (S211).

  Next, the store access server 3 determines whether or not a management ID has been received (S212). When it is determined that the management ID has not been received, the store access server 3 determines that the access is to request a browsing reservation process and makes a browsing reservation in the following step S220. Process. When it is determined in step S212 that the management ID has been received, it is determined that the access requests a specific information browsing process, and the specific information browsing process in the following step S240 is performed.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining the browsing reservation process (b1) and the specific information browsing process (b2). In the browsing reservation process, the control processing unit 31 of the store access server 3 first extracts a menu screen (hereinafter referred to as a browsing reservation menu screen) used for the browsing reservation process from the storage unit 32 and via the communication unit 33. Is transmitted to the mobile communication terminal 2 (S221). Here, the browsing reservation menu screen includes selection items such as a menu to be provided, vacant seat waiting time information, reservation, and the like. For each selection item, the store access server 3 can provide corresponding information such as a menu of a service provided for the selection item “menu” and a screen (hereinafter referred to as a content screen) for displaying this information.

  Next, the mobile communication terminal 2 receives and displays the browsing reservation menu screen from the store access server 3 (S121), and prompts the user to select a selection item. When one of the selection items is selected by the user, the selection item selected by the mobile communication terminal 2 is returned (S122), and the store access server 3 receives the selection item (S222).

  Next, the control processing unit 31 of the store access server 3 determines whether or not the received selection item is “reservation” (S223), and when it is determined that it is not “reservation”, a content screen corresponding to the selection item Is extracted from the storage unit 22 and returned to respond (S224). Next, the control processing unit 31 transfers the selection item received in step S222 to the in-store management terminal 4 (S225), and notifies that the business guidance information has been browsed and the browsing target.

  When it is determined in step S223 that it is “reservation”, the control processing unit 31 switches the display screen of the mobile communication terminal 2 to the reservation screen of the web page, or transmits an e-mail that enables reservation and responds ( S226). At this time, a menu of services that can be provided in this store can be browsed on the Web page or attached to an e-mail.

  The mobile communication terminal 2 receives and displays the responses in steps S224 and S226 (S123). In step S123, the mobile communication terminal 2 inputs reservation contents on the reservation screen of the Web page in response to the operation, or returns an e-mail in which the reservation contents are input. Next, the control processing unit 31 receives the reservation from the mobile communication terminal 2 and transfers it to the in-store management terminal 4 (S227).

  Next, in the specific information browsing process of step S240, the control processing unit 31 first collates the received PW with the collation original PW stored in the storage unit 3 (S241), and determines whether or not to collate. (S242). When it is determined not to collate in step S242, the process ends. When it is determined to collate, a menu screen (hereinafter referred to as a specific information browsing menu screen) used by the control processing unit 31 for the specific information browsing process is portable communication. It transmits to the terminal 2 (S243).

  Here, the specific information browsing menu screen has a selection item for selecting information that can be browsed, similarly to the browsing reservation menu screen. Further, it is possible to browse the menu to be provided by the store from the specific information browsing menu screen. For each selection item, the in-store management terminal 4 can create specific information such as the total calorie amount of food and drink shown in FIG. 4B for the selection item “calories” and provide a content screen for displaying the specific information. It has become.

  Next, the mobile communication terminal 2 receives and displays the specific information browsing menu screen from the store access server 3 (S141), and prompts the user to select a selection item. Here, provision item names, provision item lists, and the like are also selected as necessary. When any selection item is selected by the user, the mobile communication terminal 2 returns the selected selection item or the like (S142), and the store access server 3 receives the selection item or the like and transfers it to the in-store management terminal 4 (S244).

  Here, the in-store management terminal 4 receives the transferred management ID, selection item, provision item name, provision item list, and the like, and creates specific information corresponding to the selection item such as the total calorie amount. Then, the in-store management terminal 4 sets the created specific information, creates a content screen, and sends it back to the store access server 3 as a response.

  When transferred in step S244, the store access server 3 waits for and receives a response from the in-store management terminal 4, and transfers the received content screen to the mobile communication terminal 2 as a response (S245). The mobile communication terminal 2 receives and displays the response in step S245 (S143).

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating processing performed by the in-store management terminal. The in-store management terminal 4 waits for and receives the above data from the store access server 3, the waiting detection device 5 on the LAN, and the store register terminal 6 (S301, S302). The in-store management terminal 4 determines whether or not the received data is from the store access server 3 (S303). When it is determined in step S303 that the received data is from the store access server 3, the in-store management terminal 4 performs server corresponding processing in steps S311 to S317.

  In the server corresponding process, first, the in-store management terminal 4 determines whether or not the received data is for reservation (S311), and when it is determined that the data is for reservation, the reservation is registered in the reservation list. (S312), vacant seat waiting time information is updated (S313). Here, this update is performed because this reservation is normally made, for example, on the street near the collective store 200, and the store is expected to be visited in a short time.

  When it is determined in step S311 that the received data is not for reservation, the in-store management terminal 4 determines whether or not it is a browsing notification in step S225 (S314). When it is determined in step S314 that it is a browsing notification, the in-store management terminal 4 registers the selection item or the like transferred in step S225 in the popularity list (S315). Here, the browsing frequency may be attached to the selection item, and the frequency may be associated with the selection item and registered in the popularity list. Thereby, for example, it is possible to create a popularity ranking of access for the browsing reservation menu screen such as a popularity ranking of browsing for each dish in the menu.

  When it is determined in step S314 that the notification is not a browsing notice, the in-store management terminal 4 determines that the access requests specific information, and in step S244, the management ID, selection item, provision item name, provision item list, etc. are transferred. Therefore, specific information corresponding to these is created, a content screen in which this specific information is set is created (S316), and it is returned to the store access server 3 (S317).
