  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described through embodiments of the invention. However, the following embodiments do not limit the claimed invention, and all combinations of features described in the embodiments are included. It is not necessarily essential for the solution of the invention.

  FIG. 1 shows an overview of a service providing system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The service providing system 1 provides a service to users existing in a predetermined service providing area 70. The service providing area 70 may be an area defined by a service provider that provides a service to a user. Specifically, a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO, a virtual mobile service provider) is owned by a communication provider. It may be an area where a service is provided to a user using at least a part of the communication network. For example, the service providing area 70 may be a theme park such as an amusement park, a venue such as an exposition, a commercial facility such as a shopping mall, a public facility such as a movie theater, a museum, or a hotel, a corporate office, a high speed It may be an area having a specific range such as a toll road such as a road and a transportation station. The service provided to the user in the service providing area 70 is, for example, an amusement facility reservation service when the service providing area 70 is a theme park.

  The service providing system 1 according to the present embodiment detects that a user has entered the service providing area 70 and enables the user to make a reservation for a service facility in the service providing area 70. The purpose is to provide a specific service to the user at 70.

  First, the user holds the user terminal 10 (a) over the gate 50 provided at the entrance of the service providing area 70. The gate 50 performs near field communication with the user terminal 10 (a) and detects that the user has entered the service providing area 70. For example, the user terminal 10 (a) includes a wireless IC tag (RFID tag) in which at least one information of a serial number, a mobile subscriber identification number, and a telephone number is recorded. The gate 50 includes a wireless IC tag reader. The gate 50 detects that the user has entered the service providing area 70 by reading information written in the wireless IC tag of the user terminal 10 (a) in the wireless IC tag reader. Note that the user terminal 10 (a) and the gate 50 are not short-distance communication via a wireless IC tag, but short-distance communication such as infrared communication, visible light communication, heat exchange communication, and Bluetooth (registered trademark) or non-communication. You may communicate using contact communication.

  Then, the gate 50 sends the entry information (for example, a flag) indicating that the user has entered the service providing area 70 to the service providing server 20 via the network 42 such as a LAN provided in the service providing area 70. It is transmitted and recorded together with terminal identification information (for example, serial number, mobile subscriber identification number, or telephone number) for identifying the terminal 10 (a). Further, the gate 50 causes the user terminal 10 (a) to record a flag indicating that the user has entered the service providing area 70. Then, the user terminal 10 (a) makes a location registration request to an unillustrated HLR (Home Location Register) at the time of its own location registration or location registration update, and also sets a flag in the user terminal 10 (a) itself. Is registered in the HLR. Subsequently, after the service providing server 20 records the entrance information in association with the terminal identification information, the service provided to the user in the service providing area 70 becomes available to the user terminal 10 (a). Information to be transmitted is transmitted through the network 40 and the communication relay unit 30.

  For example, the service providing server 20 transmits an email indicating that the service in the service providing area 70 can be used to the user terminal 10 (a). The service providing area 70 includes a plurality of partial areas 74, and each of the plurality of partial areas 74 includes a communication relay unit 30 that relays communication between the user terminal 10 (a) and the service providing server 20. Prepare. In such a case, the mail transmitted by the service providing server 20 is transmitted to the user terminal 10 (a) via the communication relay unit 30 provided in the partial area 74. The user terminal 10 (a) receives the mail via the communication relay unit 30 provided in the partial area 74 where the user terminal 10 (a) exists, and notifies the user. Thus, the user can grasp that the service provided by the MVNO can be used for the user who has entered the service providing area 70. The network 40 may be a public telephone line network, for example.

  Here, each partial area 74 includes a service facility 72. When the service providing area 70 is a theme park such as an amusement park, the service facility 72 is an attraction such as a roller coaster, a ferris wheel, and a haunted house. Then, the service providing server 20 acquires the position where the user terminal 10 (a) exists via the communication relay unit 30. The service providing server 20 transmits the information indicating the usage status of the service facility 72 included in the partial area 74 including the position where the acquired user terminal 10 (a) exists via the communication relay unit 30 to the user terminal 10 (a). Send to.

  For example, the information indicating the usage status of the service facility 72 may be a waiting time until the service facility 72 can be used, a degree of usage reservation, and the like. Furthermore, the service providing server 20 may send an email including the URL of the web page for executing the reservation process to the user terminal 10 (a). The user can make a reservation for use of the service facility 72 by accessing a web page indicated by the URL transmitted to the user terminal 10 (a) where the use of the service facility 72 can be reserved.

  Then, the service providing server 20 accepts a reservation for using the service facility 72 only from the user terminal 10 (a) in which a flag indicating that the user has entered the service providing area 70 is recorded. That is, the service providing server 20 determines that the user terminal 10 (a) in which the flag is recorded is the user terminal 10 of the user who has entered the service providing area 70, and uses it from the user terminal 10 (a). Accept reservations. The use reservation is performed, for example, by allowing the user to specify the service facility 72 and the use time that the user desires to use. The service providing server 20 makes a reservation for use of the service facility 72 by the user, terminal identification information (for example, the serial number of the IC tag of the user terminal 10) and flag, information for identifying the service facility 72 that the user desires to use, and The reservation process is executed in association with the time that the user desires to use.

  As a result, a user who enters the service providing area 70 can make a reservation for the attraction after grasping the use status of the attraction, so it is not necessary to wait for a long time until the attraction is actually used. Can be used. Moreover, since the service providing server 20 can determine that the user of the user terminal 10 has not entered the service providing area 70 when determining that the flag indicating that the user has entered the user terminal 10 is not recorded, It is possible to prevent a user who has not entered the service providing area 70 from making a reservation for using the attraction.

  When the user is a member of a service provider who provides a service in the service providing area 70, that is, when the user is a member of MVNO, the use reservation service described above may be provided to the user. In other words, the service providing server 20 checks whether or not the user of the user terminal 10 is a member. For example, the user's membership number may be recorded on the IC tag of the user terminal 10, and the service providing server 20 may execute the user verification using the membership number recorded on the IC tag. Then, when the user is a member, the user terminal 10 is made to record a flag so that the use reservation in the above description can be made. In such a case, the service providing server 20 may collect a member fee from the user for being a member of the service provider, or may collect a reservation fee for the use reservation of the attraction. .

  The service providing server 20 includes information indicating the usage status of the service facility 72 included in the partial area 74 including the position where the user terminal 10 (a) exists, including the position where the user terminal 10 (a) exists. The information indicating the usage status of the service facility 72 included in another partial area 74 different from the area 74 may be transmitted with priority. For example, the service providing server 20 uses the plurality of service facilities 72 in the partial area 74 including the position where the user terminal 10 exists, and uses the plurality of service facilities 72 in the partial area 74 different from the partial area 74. Are displayed as a list on the display unit 118 of the user terminal 10. In such a case, the usage status of the plurality of service facilities 72 in the partial area 74 including the position where the user terminal 10 exists may be displayed with priority from the top of the list.

  Moreover, the communication relay part 30 transmits the information which shows the position where the user terminal 10 (a) exists to the service provision server 20 by performing short-distance wireless communication via RFID etc. with the user terminal 10 (a). . In such a case, the communication relay unit 30 is an RFID reader. Moreover, the communication relay part 30 may transmit the information which shows the position where the user terminal 10 (a) exists to the service provision server 20 by carrying out radio | wireless communication with the user terminal 10 (a). In such a case, the communication relay unit 30 may be, for example, a wireless LAN access point, a mobile phone base station, or the like.

  Next, when the user enters the service facility 72, the user holds the user terminal 10 (a) over the gate 52 provided at the entrance of the service facility 72. The gate 52 performs near field communication with the user terminal 10 (a) and acquires the serial number of the user terminal 10 (a). Then, the gate 52 transmits the acquired serial number to the service providing server 20 via the network 42. The service providing server 20 uses the serial number received from the gate 52 to determine whether the user identified by the serial number has made a reservation for using the service facility 72. When the service providing server 20 determines that the user has made a reservation for using the service facility 72, the service providing server 20 transmits information permitting the use of the service facility 72 to the gate 52. When the gate 52 receives the information permitted to use the service facility 72, the gate 52 opens the gate 52 and allows the user to enter the service facility 72. As a result, the user can use the service facility 72 at the time of use reservation.

  Further, the user terminal 10 (a), when the flag indicating that the user has entered the service providing area 70 is recorded by the gate 50, the communication relay unit 30 and the network to change the billing method of the communication fee. The telecommunications carrier server 25 is automatically acted through 40. Then, the telecommunications carrier server 25 changes the billing method for the communication fee applied to the user terminal 10 (a). For example, when the user terminal 10 (a) executes a location registration request to the HLR, the HLR identifies information indicating that the user terminal 10 (a) has entered the service providing area 70, and identifies the user terminal 10 (a). To be recorded in association with the terminal identification information. Then, the HLR works on the CDR that executes the billing process, and records information indicating that the user terminal 10 (a) has entered the service providing area 70 in association with the terminal identification information in the CDR. The information indicating that the user terminal 10 (a) has entered the service providing area 70 is recorded in the CDR, so that the charging method can be changed.

  As a result, when the user of the service providing area 70 uses the user terminal 10 (a) to call the user terminal 10 (b) outside the service providing area 70 via the network 40 and the exchange 60, Different charging methods can be applied when the user makes a call from the user terminal 10 (a) to the user terminal 10 (b) via the network 40 and the exchange 60 outside the provision area 70. For example, when the communication carrier server 25 makes a call charge for a telephone call made from the user terminal 10 (a) existing in the service providing area 70 from the user terminal 10 (a) existing outside the service providing area 70 Can be set cheaper than

  When the user leaves the service providing area 70, the gate 50 deletes the flag recorded in the user terminal 10 (a). As a result, the service providing server 20 can prevent a service facility use reservation from the user terminal 10 of the user outside the service providing area 70. Further, the user terminal 10 (a) whose flag has been erased by the gate 50 works on the communication carrier server 25 again to restore the communication fee billing method. That is, information indicating that the user terminal 10 (a) has entered the service providing area 70 recorded in the HLR and CDR, respectively, in response to the user terminal 10 (a) leaving the service providing area 70. Erased. Thereby, the communication carrier server 25 can charge the original communication fee for the user terminal 10 (a).

Then, the service providing server 20 displays information to be displayed on the user terminal 10 (c) on the user terminal 10 (c), as shown in the display screen 730, such that “the use of the reservation system has ended.” To (c).

  FIG. 8 shows an example of a reservation method in the user terminal 10 according to the distance according to the present embodiment. When the user terminal 10 exists in the partial area 74 (a), the use service provision availability determination unit 214 of the service providing server 20 determines the user terminal according to the distance from the partial area 74 (a) to the other partial area 74. Limit service facilities that can be reserved from 10. For example, the distance from the user terminal 10 is increased in the order of the partial area 74 (a) to the partial area 74 (b), the partial area 74 (c), the partial area 74 (d), and the partial area 74 (e). Think about the case.

  In such a case, a service provision availability determination unit determines whether to make a use reservation for a service facility in the partial area 74 (for example, the partial area 74 (d) and the partial area 74 (e)) larger than a predetermined distance from the user terminal 10. 214 is prohibited. Thereby, it is possible to prohibit the use reservation for the service facility existing at a distance that the user cannot reach from the partial area 74 (a) including the position where the user exists until the use time of the service facility that the user desires to use. The service provision availability determination unit 214 may restrict the use reservation of the service facility according to the distance determined in stages. Specifically, the service provision availability determination unit 214 considers the travel time from the position on the basis of the position (for example, the partial area 74 (a)) where the user of the user terminal 10 executes the use reservation of the service facility. Thus, the use reservation of the service facilities included in the partial area 74 (for example, the partial area 74 (d) and the partial area 74 (e)) exceeding the preset distance is prohibited.

  Note that the service provision availability determination unit 214 may determine the travel time based on, for example, a walking speed (for example, 80 m / min) during normal walking of a human. For example, the service provision availability determination unit 214 calculates the travel time required for travel from the distance from the position where the user exists to the service facility that the user desires to use and the walking speed. The service provision availability determination unit 214 compares the calculated travel time with the time when the user wants to use the service and the time when the user makes a service facility use reservation, and the user makes a use reservation. By determining whether or not the service facility can be reached by the time, it may be determined whether or not to prohibit use reservation of the service facility by the user.

  Thereby, it is possible to prevent the user from making a reservation for use of a service facility that is away from the position where the user is present and that is virtually at a distance that the user cannot reach within a predetermined time.

  FIG. 9 shows an example of a processing flow in the service providing system 1 according to the present embodiment. First, the user holds the user terminal 10 over the gate 50 and enters the service providing area 70 (S1000).

The service providing server 20 determines whether or not the user of the user terminal 10 identified by the terminal identification information has entered the service providing area 70 based on the presence or absence of the entry information, and the user makes a reservation for using the service facility. It is collated (S1055).

  The service providing server 20 transmits the verification result to the permission / refusal notifying unit 506 of the gate 52 (S1060). The permission / refusal notification unit 506 supplies the received verification result to the gate control unit 500. The gate control unit 500 operates opening and closing of the gate according to the collation result (S1065). That is, when the collation result indicates that the user has entered the service providing area 70 and has made a reservation for using the service facility, the gate control unit 500 opens the gate. Thereby, the user can use the service facility. On the other hand, when the collation result indicates that the user has not entered the service providing area 70 or has not made a use reservation for the service facility, the gate control unit 500 is closed without opening the gate. Thus, the use of the user's service facility is prohibited.

  Subsequently, when the user leaves the service providing area 70, when the user holds the user terminal 10 over the gate 50, the user terminal 10 communicates with the gate 50 using the first communication method (S1070). The gate 50 erases the entrance information recorded in the user terminal 10 (S1080). Then, the gate 50 transmits exit information indicating that the user has exited to the service providing server 20. Thereby, the service providing server 20 can grasp that the user has left the service providing area 70. In addition, the user terminal 10 from which the entry information has been deleted instructs the communication carrier server 25 to change the contract details and return the contract details to the original contract details. (S1085). When receiving the instruction, the communication carrier server 25 changes the contract content applied to the user terminal 10 to the original contract content.

  When the user enters the service providing area 70 while holding the user terminal 10 over the gate 50, the gate 50 transmits entrance information indicating that the user terminal 10 has entered the service providing area 70 to the service providing server 20. In addition, entrance information and terminal identification information for identifying the user terminal 10 may be transmitted to the HLR. Then, the HLR records the entrance information in association with the terminal identification information. Subsequently, the HLR works on the CDR to record the entrance information in association with the terminal identification information. The CDR changes the charging method applied to the user terminal 10 identified by the terminal identification information associated with the recorded entrance information. For example, in the CDR, the communication fee applied to the user terminal 10 entering the service providing area 70 is lower than the communication charge applied to the user terminal 10 not entering the service providing area 70. Set the method.

  When the user leaves the service providing area 70, when the user holds the user terminal 10 over the gate 50, the user terminal 10 communicates with the gate 50 using the first communication method. The gate 50 erases the entrance information recorded in the user terminal 10. Then, the gate 50 transmits exit information indicating that the user has exited the HLR in association with the terminal identification information of the user terminal 10. The HLR erases the entrance information recorded in association with the user terminal 10 in response to receiving the exit information. Further, the HLR works on the CDR to delete the entry information recorded in association with the terminal identification information. Thereby, the CDR can return the contract content applied to the user terminal 10 that has left the service providing area 70 to the original contract content.

  As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated using embodiment, the technical scope of this invention is not limited to the range as described in the said embodiment. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications or improvements can be added to the above-described embodiment.
