本車両通信機１は、路側通信機３を介して予約管理サーバ４に接続し、予約管理サーバ４から空室情報を取得して表示装置１２に空室状況等を表示させ、ユーザ操作に応じて宿泊予約のための予約情報やキャンセル待ち予約のためのキャンセル待ち予約情報を送信することが可能となっている。 The vehicle communicator 1 is connected to the reservation management server 4 via the roadside communication device 3, acquires vacancy information from the reservation management server 4, displays the vacancy status etc. on the display device 12, and responds to user operations. It is possible to transmit reservation information for accommodation reservation and reservation waiting information for waiting for cancellation.

図３に、この宿泊予約やキャンセル待ち予約を行う場合のシーケンス図を示す。なお、路側通信機３と予約管理サーバ４との間は常時通信接続されている。 FIG. 3 shows a sequence diagram in the case where the accommodation reservation or the reservation for waiting for cancellation is performed. The roadside communication device 3 and the reservation management server 4 are always connected for communication.

まず、車両通信機１は、自己の識別情報を路側通信機３へ通知する（Ｓ１００）。本実施形態では、各車両通信機１に対してユニークに付与された識別情報が、記憶装置１９に記憶されており、この識別情報を自己の識別情報として狭域無線通信機１７を介して路側通信機３へ送出する。 First, the vehicle communication device 1 notifies its identification information to the roadside communication device 3 (S100). In the present embodiment, identification information uniquely assigned to each vehicle communication device 1 is stored in the storage device 19, and this identification information is used as its own identification information via the narrow area wireless communication device 17. Send to the communication device 3.

車両Ａがある路側通信機３の通信エリアに進入し、車両通信機１と路側通信機３との間のＤＳＲＣ通信が確立すると（Ｓ２００）、車両通信機１は、路側通信機３を介して予約管理サーバ４に接続し、予約管理サーバ４から空室情報の送信を要求する（Ｓ１０２）。 When the vehicle A enters the communication area of the roadside communication device 3 and the DSRC communication between the vehicle communication device 1 and the roadside communication device 3 is established (S200), the vehicle communication device 1 passes through the roadside communication device 3 The reservation management server 4 is connected, and the reservation management server 4 requests transmission of vacancy information (S102).

予約管理サーバ４は、この空室情報の送信要求に応じて空室情報の送信の要求のあった路側通信機３の周辺の宿泊施設の予約状況を確認し（Ｓ３００）、路側通信機３を介して車両通信機１に対し、空室状況を表す空室情報を送信する（Ｓ３０２）。なお、空室情報には、部屋種別毎の空室状況および料金が含まれる。 The reservation management server 4 confirms the reservation status of accommodation facilities around the roadside communication device 3 that has requested transmission of vacancy information in response to the request for transmission of vacancy information (S300). Then, the vacancy information indicating the vacancy status is transmitted to the vehicle communication device 1 (S302). The vacancy information includes the vacancy status and the charge for each room type.

車両通信機１は、この空室情報を受信すると、表示装置１２に空室状況等を表示させる（Ｓ１０４）。なお、ユーザはこの表示に従って宿泊予約やキャンセル待ち予約のための操作を行うことが可能となる。 Upon receiving this vacancy information, the vehicle communication device 1 displays the vacancy status and the like on the display device 12 (S104). In addition, the user can perform an operation for a reservation for accommodation or a reservation for waiting for cancellation according to this display.

次に、車両通信機１は、ユーザ操作により宿泊予約の操作が行われたか、キャンセル待ち予約のための操作が行われたかを判定し（Ｓ１０６）。 Next, the vehicle communication device 1 determines whether an operation for reservation of accommodation has been performed by a user operation or an operation for reservation for waiting for cancellation has been performed (S106).

ユーザにより宿泊予約の操作が行われた場合、車両通信機１は、路側通信機３を介して予約管理サーバ４に予約情報を送信する（Ｓ１０８）。なお、予約情報には、部屋種別、氏名、連絡先、宿泊人数等の必要事項が含まれる。 When the user performs an operation for reservation of accommodation, the vehicle communication device 1 transmits reservation information to the reservation management server 4 via the roadside communication device 3 (S108). The reservation information includes necessary items such as room type, name, contact information, and the number of guests.

予約管理サーバ４は、この予約情報を受信すると、予約登録を行う（Ｓ３０４）。具体的には、予約された部屋を「空室」から「予約」に変更するとともに、氏名、連絡先、宿泊人数等の必要事項を記憶装置４３に記憶させ、予約完了となる。 When receiving the reservation information, the reservation management server 4 performs reservation registration (S304). Specifically, the reserved room is changed from “vacant” to “reserved”, and necessary items such as name, contact information, and number of guests are stored in the storage device 43, and the reservation is completed.

また、ユーザによりキャンセル待ち予約の操作が行われた場合、車両通信機１は、路側通信機３を介して予約管理サーバ４にキャンセル待ち予約情報を送信する（Ｓ１１０）。なお、キャンセル待ち予約情報には、部屋種別、氏名、連絡先、宿泊人数等の必要事項と識別情報が含まれる。キャンセル待ち予約情報に識別情報が含まれるのは、キャンセルが発生した場合に通知するキャンセル発生通知情報の通知相手を特定するためである。 When the user performs an operation for waiting for cancellation, the vehicle communication device 1 transmits reservation waiting information for cancellation to the reservation management server 4 via the roadside communication device 3 (S110). The reservation information for waiting for cancellation includes necessary information such as room type, name, contact information, number of guests, and identification information. The reason why the reservation information for waiting for cancellation includes the identification information is to specify a notification partner of the notification information of the cancellation occurrence to be notified when the cancellation occurs.

予約管理サーバ４は、このキャンセル待ち予約情報を受信すると、キャンセル待ち予約登録を行う（Ｓ３０６）。具体的には、予約された部屋を「キャンセル待ち」に設定するとともに、氏名、連絡先、宿泊人数等の必要事項を記憶装置４３に記憶させ、キャンセル待ち予約完了となる。 Reservation management server 4, upon receiving the reservation waiting list information, performs reservation waiting reservation registration (S306). Specifically, the reserved room is set to “waiting for cancellation”, and necessary items such as name, contact information, and number of guests are stored in the storage device 43, and the reservation for waiting for cancellation is completed.

次に、予約管理サーバ４は、キャンセル待ち予約された部屋種別と同種別の部屋にキャンセルが発生したか否かを判定する（Ｓ３０８）。 Next, the reservation management server 4 determines whether or not a cancellation has occurred in a room of the same type as the room type reserved for cancellation (S308).

ここで、宿泊予約者からの連絡によりキャンセルが発生すると、Ｓ３０８の判定はＹＥＳとなり、路側通信機３を介してキャンセルが発生したことを示すキャンセル発生通知情報の通知相手と通信が確立しているか否かを判定する（Ｓ３１０）。 Here, if a cancellation occurs due to a notification from the hotel reservation person, the determination in S308 is YES, and is communication established with the notification partner of the cancellation occurrence notification information indicating that the cancellation has occurred via the roadside communication device 3? It is determined whether or not (S310).

ここで、車両Ａがある路側通信機３の通信エリアに進入しており、車両通信機１と特定の路側通信機３との間のＤＳＲＣ通信が確立している場合、Ｓ３１０の判定はＹＥＳとなり、その特定の路側通信機３を介して通知相手にキャンセル発生通知情報を送出する（Ｓ３１２）。 Here, when the vehicle A has entered the communication area of a certain roadside communication device 3 and the DSRC communication between the vehicle communication device 1 and the specific roadside communication device 3 is established, the determination in S310 is YES. Then, the cancel notification information is sent to the notification partner via the specific roadside communication device 3 (S312).

車両通信機１は、このキャンセル発生通知情報を受信すると、受信したキャンセル発生通知情報に基づいてキャンセルが発生したことをユーザに報知する（Ｓ１１２）。具体的には、部屋種別、料金等とともにキャンセルが発生したことを示すメッセージを表示装置１２に表示させるとともに、キャンセルが発生したことを示す音声をスピーカ（図示せず）から音声出力させる。なお、振動を発生させるバイブレータを備え、バイブレータを振動させてキャンセルが発生したことを報知するようにしてもよい。 When receiving the cancellation occurrence notification information, the vehicle communication device 1 notifies the user that a cancellation has occurred based on the received cancellation occurrence notification information (S112). Specifically, a message indicating that the cancellation has occurred is displayed on the display device 12 together with the room type, the charge, etc., and a sound indicating that the cancellation has occurred is output from a speaker (not shown). In addition, you may make it alert | report that the vibrator generate | occur | produces vibration and vibrates, and cancellation has generate | occur | produced.

また、キャンセル予約の登録が完了した後、車両Ａが、山間部などの通信インフラの整備されていない場所に移動し、車両通信機１と路側通信機３との間のＤＳＲＣ通信が確立しない場合、Ｓ３１０の判定はＮＯとなり、設置された全ての路側通信機３あるいは一部の複数の路側通信機３を介してキャンセル発生通知情報を送出する（Ｓ３１４）。具体的には、キャンセル発生通知情報の通知相手を特定するための識別情報とともに、キャンセル発生通知情報を送出する。 In addition, after registration of the cancellation reservation is completed, the vehicle A moves to a place where communication infrastructure is not maintained such as a mountainous area, and DSRC communication between the vehicle communication device 1 and the roadside communication device 3 is not established. The determination in S310 is NO, and the cancellation occurrence notification information is sent through all the installed roadside communication devices 3 or some of the plurality of roadside communication devices 3 (S314). Specifically, the cancel occurrence notification information is transmitted together with the identification information for specifying the notification partner of the cancel occurrence notification information.

ここで、図示してないが、もし仮に通信圏外にあった車両Ａがキャンセル発生通知情報を送出している複数路側通信機３のいずれか１つとでも通信を再度確立（通信を復帰）すれば、キャンセル発生通知情報を受信し、ユーザにその情報が通知される。 Here, although not shown, if the vehicle A that was out of the communication range establishes communication again (returns communication) with any one of the plurality of roadside communication devices 3 that are sending out the cancellation occurrence notification information. The cancellation occurrence notification information is received and the information is notified to the user.

これにより、キャンセル予約の登録をした後、たとえ通信インフラが整備されていない場所に移動してしまい、路側無線装置を介した通信が不能となってしまっても、複数の路側通信機からキャンセル発生を示す情報が送出されているので、その情報を送出している路側通信機の１つとでも通信を確立（通信を復帰）させることができれば、キャンセルが出たという情報を得ることができる。つまり、キャンセルが発生したことをユーザに報知できる可能性が高まるという効果が得られる。 As a result, after registering a cancellation reservation, even if the communication infrastructure is not established, even if communication via the roadside wireless device is disabled, cancellation will occur from multiple roadside communication devices. Therefore, if communication can be established (returning communication) even with one of the roadside communication devices that are transmitting the information, it is possible to obtain information that cancellation has occurred. That is, there is an effect that the possibility of notifying the user that cancellation has occurred increases.

また、車両Ａが路側通信機３との通信を確立できないとしても以下のようにすることで、ユーザのキャンセル発生通知情報を得られる機会を増やすことができる。 Moreover, even if the vehicle A cannot establish communication with the roadside communication device 3, it is possible to increase the chances of obtaining the user's cancellation occurrence notification information by doing the following.

つまり、車両Ｂに搭載された移動通信端末２により、このキャンセル発生通知情報が受信されると、この移動通信端末２は、受信したキャンセル発生通知情報および識別情報を記憶装置２４に記憶する（Ｓ４００）。 That is, when the cancellation occurrence notification information is received by the mobile communication terminal 2 mounted on the vehicle B, the mobile communication terminal 2 stores the received cancellation occurrence notification information and identification information in the storage device 24 (S400). ).

ここで、より好ましくは、ここにいう移動通信端末２に送信されるキャンセル発生通知情報（第２のキャンセル発生通知情報に相当する）と、前述したように、通知対象相手との通信が確立した場合にＳ３１０の判定がＹＥＳとなり、ステップＳ３１２にてその特定の路側通信機３を介して通知対象相手に送出されるキャンセル発生通知情報（第１のキャンセル発生通知情報に相当する）とを異ならせるようにするとよい。 Here, more preferably, the cancellation occurrence notification information (corresponding to the second cancellation occurrence notification information) transmitted to the mobile communication terminal 2 referred to here and communication with the notification target partner are established as described above. In this case, the determination in S310 is YES, and the cancellation occurrence notification information (corresponding to the first cancellation occurrence notification information) sent to the notification target partner via the specific roadside communication device 3 in step S312 is changed. It is good to do so.

ここで、異ならせるとはデータ構造などを異ならせるという意味である。例えば、第１、第２のキャンセル発生通知情報を区別するためのフラグを付加して第１、第２のキャンセル発生通知情報を区別可能なデータ構造とすることができる。 Here, making it different means making the data structure different. For example, a flag for distinguishing the first and second cancellation occurrence notification information may be added to form a data structure in which the first and second cancellation occurrence notification information can be distinguished.

そして、移動通信端末２は、第２のキャンセル発生通知情報だけを受信可能に構成されているとよい。この点は、移動通信端末２側で選択的に第２のキャンセル発生通知情報のみを受信するように構成してもよいし、第１のキャンセル発生通知情報を移動通信端末２が受信できないデータ構造としてもよい。 The mobile communication terminal 2 may be configured to receive only the second cancellation occurrence notification information. In this respect, the mobile communication terminal 2 may selectively receive only the second cancellation occurrence notification information, or the data structure in which the mobile communication terminal 2 cannot receive the first cancellation occurrence notification information. It is good.

このようにすれば、キャンセル予約の登録が完了した後、車両Ａが、山間部などの通信インフラの整備されていない場所に移動し、車両通信機１と路側通信機３との間のＤＳＲＣ通信が確立しない場合にだけ、移動通信端末２が第２のキャンセル発生通知情報を受信するため、移動通信端末２とサーバ４との通信量を低減するとともに、必要な状況のときにのみ移動通信端末２が情報を記憶することができ、過大な記憶領域を準備せずともよくなる。 In this way, after registration of the cancellation reservation is completed, the vehicle A moves to a place where communication infrastructure is not maintained such as a mountainous area, and DSRC communication between the vehicle communication device 1 and the roadside communication device 3 is performed. Since the mobile communication terminal 2 receives the second cancellation occurrence notification information only when the mobile communication terminal 2 is not established, the communication amount between the mobile communication terminal 2 and the server 4 is reduced and the mobile communication terminal is only in a necessary situation. 2 can store information, and it is not necessary to prepare an excessive storage area.

移動通信端末２は、次に、記憶装置２４に記憶した識別情報を用いてキャンセル発生通知の通知相手との通信が確立したか否かを判定する（Ｓ４０２）。具体的には、無線部２３を介して外部装置から識別情報を取得し、この識別情報と記憶装置２４に記憶された識別情報とが一致するか否かに基づいてキャンセル発生通知の通知相手との通信が確立したか否かを判定する。 Next, the mobile communication terminal 2 uses the identification information stored in the storage device 24 to determine whether or not communication with the cancel notification partner has been established (S402). Specifically, the identification information is acquired from the external device via the wireless unit 23, and the notification partner of the cancellation occurrence notification is determined based on whether the identification information matches the identification information stored in the storage device 24. It is determined whether or not communication is established.

ここで、キャンセル発生通知の通知相手との通信が確立しない場合、Ｓ４０２の判定を繰り返す。そして、例えば、車両Ａと車両Ｂとが道路上ですれ違い、キャンセル発生通知の通知相手との通信が確立したことを判定すると、車両Ｂに搭載された移動通信端末２は、車両Ａに搭載された車両通信機１へキャンセル発生通知を送出する（Ｓ４０４）。 Here, when communication with the notification partner of the cancellation occurrence notification is not established, the determination of S402 is repeated. For example, when it is determined that the vehicle A and the vehicle B pass on the road and the communication with the notification partner of the cancellation occurrence notification is established, the mobile communication terminal 2 mounted on the vehicle B is mounted on the vehicle A. A cancel notification is sent to the vehicle communication device 1 (S404).

そして、車両Ａに搭載された車両通信機１は、このキャンセル発生通知情報を受信すると、受信したキャンセル発生通知情報に基づいてキャンセルが発生したことをユーザに報知する（Ｓ１１２）。 And the vehicle communication apparatus 1 mounted in the vehicle A will alert | report to a user that cancellation generate | occur | produced based on the received cancellation generation notification information, if this cancellation generation notification information is received (S112).

このようになっていれば、キャンセル予約の登録をした後、たとえ通信インフラが整備されていない場所に移動しても、キャンセルが発生したことをユーザに報知できる可能性はより高まる。 If it is like this, even if it moves to the place where the communication infrastructure is not prepared after registering the cancellation reservation, there is a higher possibility that the user can be notified that the cancellation has occurred.

さらに、キャンセルが発生したことをユーザに報知した後、車両Ａに搭載された車両通信機１から予約を行うことも可能となっている。 Further, after notifying the user that the cancellation has occurred, it is possible to make a reservation from the vehicle communication device 1 mounted on the vehicle A.

図４に、この予約を行う場合のシーケンス図を示す。車両通信機１は、キャンセルが発生したことをユーザに報知した後、ユーザ操作に応じてキャンセルの発生した施設の予約を行うか否かを判定する（Ｓ１１４）。具体的には、キャンセルの発生した施設の予約画面を表示させ、ユーザにより予約操作がなされたか否かを判定する。 FIG. 4 shows a sequence diagram for making this reservation. After notifying the user that the cancellation has occurred, the vehicle communication device 1 determines whether or not to reserve the facility where the cancellation has occurred in accordance with the user operation (S114). Specifically, a reservation screen of the facility where the cancellation has occurred is displayed, and it is determined whether or not a reservation operation has been performed by the user.

ユーザにより予約操作がなされない場合、Ｓ１１４の判定はＮＯとなり、本処理を終了する。また、ユーザにより予約操作がなされた場合、Ｓ１１４の判定はＹＥＳとなり、予約情報を記憶装置１９に記憶させる（Ｓ１１６）。なお、この予約情報には、部屋種別、氏名、連絡先、宿泊人数等の必要事項が含まれる。 When the reservation operation is not performed by the user, the determination in S114 is NO, and this process ends. If the user performs a reservation operation, the determination in S114 is YES and the reservation information is stored in the storage device 19 (S116). The reservation information includes necessary items such as room type, name, contact information, and the number of guests.

次に、路側通信機３と通信が確立したか否かを判定し（Ｓ１１８）、路側通信機３と通信が確立したと判定された場合、狭域無線通信機１７を介して、路側通信機３と通信接続された施設予約管理サーバ４に、キャンセルの発生した施設を予約するための情報を送出する（Ｓ１２０）。 Next, it is determined whether or not communication with the roadside communication device 3 has been established (S118). When it is determined that communication with the roadside communication device 3 has been established, the roadside communication device 17 is connected via the narrow area wireless communication device 17. 3 is transmitted to the facility reservation management server 4 that is connected to the communication facility 3 (S120).

予約管理サーバ４は、このキャンセルの発生した施設を予約するための情報を受信すると、キャンセルの発生した施設の予約登録を行う（Ｓ３１６）。具体的には、予約された部屋を「空室」から「予約」に変更し、氏名、連絡先、宿泊人数等の必要事項を記憶装置４３に記憶させるとともに、予約が完了したことを路側通信機３を介して車両通信機１へ通知し、予約完了となる。なお、車両通信機１は、予約が完了したことをユーザに報知する。 When the reservation management server 4 receives the information for reserving the canceled facility, the reservation management server 4 performs reservation registration of the canceled facility (S316). Specifically, the reserved room is changed from “vacant” to “reserved”, and necessary information such as name, contact information, and number of guests is stored in the storage device 43, and roadside communication that the reservation is completed. The vehicle communication device 1 is notified via the machine 3 and the reservation is completed. In addition, the vehicle communication device 1 notifies the user that the reservation has been completed.

また、図示してないが、車両通信機１から予約管理サーバ４へ、延泊、予約内容の変更、予約キャンセル等を示す情報が送信されると、予約管理サーバ４は、この情報に応じて延泊、予約内容の変更、予約キャンセル等の管理を行う。 Although not shown, when information indicating extended stay, change of reservation contents, reservation cancellation, etc. is transmitted from the vehicle communication device 1 to the reservation management server 4, the reservation management server 4 responds to this information. Manage overnight stays, changes to reservations, cancellations, etc.

また、予約管理サーバ４は、予約された部屋に定刻までにチェックインまたはチェックアウトしていないことを判定すると、路側通信機３を介して車両通信機１に接続し、チェックインまたはチェックアウトの時刻が経過したことを通知する。 When the reservation management server 4 determines that the reserved room has not been checked in or checked out by the scheduled time, the reservation management server 4 connects to the vehicle communication device 1 via the roadside communication device 3 to check in or check out. Notify that the time has passed.

また、予約管理サーバ４は、路側通信機３を介して車両通信機１に接続し、車両通信機１との間で宿泊料金収受のための処理を行う。 In addition, the reservation management server 4 is connected to the vehicle communication device 1 via the roadside communication device 3 and performs processing for accommodation fee collection with the vehicle communication device 1.

上記した構成によれば、キャンセル待ち予約情報を送出した後、このキャンセル待ち予約情報を受信した施設予約管理サーバ４により、予約状況が確認され、キャンセルが発生したことを判定すると、識別情報とともにキャンセルが発生したことを示すキャンセル発生通知情報が路側通信機３を介して送出される。そして、このキャンセル発生通知情報が移動通信端末２により受信されると、この移動通信端末２は、受信した記識別情報およびキャンセル発生通知情報を記憶装置２４に記憶させるとともに、識別情報に基づいてキャンセル発生通知情報の通知相手との狭域通信が確立したことを判定すると、記憶装置２４に記憶させた識別情報およびキャンセル発生通知情報が送出される。そして、狭域無線通信機１７を介して、移動通信端末２からキャンセル発生通知情報が受信されると、受信したキャンセル発生通知情報に基づいてキャンセルが発生したことがユーザに報知される。すなわち、キャンセル予約の登録をした後、通信インフラが整備されていない場所に移動しても、キャンセルが発生したことをユーザに報知することを可能とすることができる。 According to the configuration described above, after sending the reservation information for waiting for cancellation, the facility reservation management server 4 that has received the reservation information for waiting for cancellation confirms the reservation status and determines that the cancellation has occurred. Cancel occurrence notification information indicating that the error has occurred is transmitted via the roadside communication device 3. When this cancel occurrence notification information is received by the mobile communication terminal 2, the mobile communication terminal 2 stores the received recording identification information and cancel occurrence notification information in the storage device 24 and cancels based on the identification information. When it is determined that narrow-area communication with the notification partner of the occurrence notification information has been established, the identification information and the cancellation occurrence notification information stored in the storage device 24 are transmitted. Then, when the cancellation occurrence notification information is received from the mobile communication terminal 2 via the narrow area wireless communication device 17, the user is notified that cancellation has occurred based on the received cancellation occurrence notification information. That is, it is possible to notify the user that a cancellation has occurred even after moving to a place where communication infrastructure is not established after registering a cancellation reservation.

また、ユーザ操作に応じてキャンセルの発生した施設の予約を行うと判定された場合、狭域無線通信機１７を介して路側通信機３との通信が確立したか否かを判定し、路側通信機３との通信が確立したことを判定すると、狭域無線通信機１７を介して路側通信機３と通信接続された施設予約管理サーバ４に、キャンセルの発生した施設を予約するための情報が送出されるので、ユーザは路側通信機３との通信が確立したか否かを気にすることなくキャンセルの発生した施設を予約するための情報を施設予約管理サーバ４に送出することが可能である。 Further, when it is determined to make a reservation for the facility where the cancellation has occurred in accordance with the user operation, it is determined whether or not communication with the roadside communication device 3 has been established via the narrow-area wireless communication device 17, and the roadside communication When it is determined that communication with the machine 3 has been established, information for reserving the canceled facility is stored in the facility reservation management server 4 that is connected to the roadside communication device 3 through the narrow-area wireless communication device 17. Therefore, the user can send information for reserving the canceled facility to the facility reservation management server 4 without worrying about whether or not communication with the roadside communication device 3 has been established. is there.

また、上記した施設予約管理サーバ４は、キャンセルが発生したことを判定すると、路側通信機３を介してキャンセル待ち予約を行った通信端末装置１との通信が確立しているか否かを判定し、キャンセル待ち予約を行った通信端末装置１との通信が確立していないと判定した場合、複数の路側通信機３を介して識別情報とともにキャンセルが発生したことを示す第１のキャンセル発生通知情報が送出されるので、キャンセル予約の登録をした後、たとえ通信インフラが整備されていない場所に通信端末装置１が移動しても、その通信端末装置１が複数の路側通信機３の１つとでも通信を確立することができれば、通信端末装置１はキャンセル発生通知情報を受信することができ、キャンセルが発生したことをユーザに報知することを可能とすることができる。また、通信端末装置１が複数の路側通信機３の１つとでも通信を確立することができない場合でも、移動通信端末２によりキャンセル発生通知情報が受信され、この移動通信端末２から通信端末装置１がキャンセル発生通知情報を受信することができればキャンセル発生通知情報に基づく報知を行うことが可能である。すなわち、キャンセル予約の登録をした後、通信インフラが整備されていない場所に移動しても、キャンセルが発生したことを報知することを可能とすることができる。 In addition, when the facility reservation management server 4 determines that the cancellation has occurred, the facility reservation management server 4 determines whether communication with the communication terminal device 1 that has made the reservation for waiting for cancellation via the roadside communication device 3 has been established. First cancellation occurrence notification information indicating that a cancellation has occurred together with identification information via a plurality of roadside communication devices 3 when it is determined that communication with the communication terminal device 1 that has made a reservation for cancellation has not been established. Therefore, even if the communication terminal device 1 moves to a place where the communication infrastructure is not established after registering the cancellation reservation, the communication terminal device 1 is connected to one of the roadside communication devices 3. If the communication can be established, the communication terminal device 1 can receive the cancellation occurrence notification information and can notify the user that the cancellation has occurred. Rukoto can. Further, even when the communication terminal device 1 cannot establish communication with one of the plurality of roadside communication devices 3, the cancellation notification information is received by the mobile communication terminal 2, and the communication terminal device 1 is received from the mobile communication terminal 2. If it is possible to receive the cancellation occurrence notification information, it is possible to perform notification based on the cancellation occurrence notification information. That is, even after moving to a place where the communication infrastructure is not established after registering the cancellation reservation, it is possible to notify that the cancellation has occurred.

また、キャンセル待ち予約を行った通信端末装置１との通信が確立していると判定した場合には、この通信で利用している路側通信機３を介してキャンセル待ち予約を行った通信端末装置１へ第１のキャンセル発生通知情報との区別が可能な第２のキャンセル発生通知情報が送出されるので、移動通信端末２は、第２のキャンセル発生通知情報のみを選択的に受信して通信端末装置１へ送出することが可能となり、キャンセル発生通知情報を一時記憶するために必要な処理や一時記憶するために必要な記憶領域を低減することが可能である。 If it is determined that communication with the communication terminal apparatus 1 that has made a reservation for cancellation is established, the communication terminal apparatus that has made a reservation for cancellation via the roadside communication device 3 used in this communication Since the second cancellation occurrence notification information that can be distinguished from the first cancellation occurrence notification information is sent to 1, the mobile communication terminal 2 selectively receives only the second cancellation occurrence notification information and performs communication. It is possible to send the data to the terminal device 1, and it is possible to reduce the processing necessary for temporarily storing the cancellation occurrence notification information and the storage area necessary for temporary storage.
