Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem that reservation is made in a new reservation order because reservation is made in a new order of newly receiving reservation in the case of changing reservation in a conventional reserved seat ticket handling system, that is, information at previous reservation is not maintained when reservation contents are changed in a conventional technology though a train inventory management system in a travel company previously receives reservation several days before starting to sell a reserved seat ticket and automatically transmits a request to the train inventory management system of a railroad company at the same time with starting to sell a reserved seat ticket. <P>SOLUTION: First, in the test processing of reservation contents performed several days before a sales start, an overall rank at which a request reaches an inventory management system and an arrival rank for each reservation contents which reservation contents are divided into units such as a train and a numbered passenger car are given and managed. After that, in the case of changing the reservation contents, the overall arrival rank given beforehand is compared with other reservation ranks, and when the arrival rank of an own request is earlier, the reservation contents are replaced. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a passport handling system of a railway company, and more particularly to a system that collectively manages reservations of designated tickets from a plurality of travel companies.

  In the train inventory management system of a travel agency, reservations are received in advance several days before the release of the designated ticket, and at the same time as the release of the designated ticket, the request is automatically sent to the train inventory management system of the railway company. ing. This automatic request transmission is performed in the order in which the advance reservation is accepted, and there is a technique that can change the reservation content until the designated ticket starts to be released.

  In addition, there is a technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 as a technique for managing the reserved items in the two systems. Patent Document 1 describes a karaoke BOX system for making reservations in each room, so that when a room is changed, a song registered in the room before the change can be re-registered in the room after the change. ing.

JP-A-10-91177

  However, in the conventional designated ticket handling system, when the reservation is changed, the reservation is taken in the new order received. Further, in Patent Document 1, when the room is moved, the reservation order of songs is not taken into consideration. That is, the reservation order of songs is completed in one room, and when a room is changed, a new order of acceptance is given to the changed room.

  That is, in the conventional technique, when the reservation content is changed, the information at the time of the previous reservation is not maintained, so that the reservation is made in the newly reserved order.

  In the present invention, in the reservation content verification process performed several days before the start of the sale, the overall order in which the request arrived at the inventory management system and the reservation content are divided into units such as trains / cars, etc. Assign and manage arrival rank. Thereafter, when the reservation content is changed, the overall arrival order given in advance is compared with the order of other reservations. If the arrival order of one's request is fast, the reservation content is replaced.

  It becomes possible to consider the initial reservation status between different systems. This makes it possible to obtain a reservation in consideration of the previous reservation status.

  FIG. 12 is an inter-system flow diagram of the interface at the time of test inquiry. The certification inquiry support unit 31 of the travel ticket designated ticket handling system receives the request information of the IF 100 from the designated ticket handling system (own system) of the travel agency, and transmits the request information IF 200 for the train inventory management system. The system arrival order determination support unit 41 receives the request information IF 200 from the designated ticket handling system of the travel agency and transmits the request information to the work instruction support unit 42. The work instruction support unit 42 that has received the request information IF 200 performs a test inquiry process, creates response information IF 500, and transmits it to the designated ticket handling system of the travel agency. Upon receiving the IF 500 from the train inventory management system, the verification inquiry support unit 31 of the designated ticket handling system of the travel company processes the information of the IF 500 and transmits the request information 100 to the designated ticket handling system of the travel company.

  FIG. 13 is an inter-system flow diagram of the interface at the time of reservation change. In the reservation change support unit 32 of the designated ticket handling system of the travel agency, the request information of the IF 300 is set from each travel agency, and the request information IF 400 for the train inventory management system is set and transmitted. In the train inventory management system, the system arrival order determination support unit 41 receives the request information IF400 from the designated ticket handling system of the travel agency. Thereafter, the process transitions to the work instruction support unit 42. The work instruction support unit 42 that has received the request information IF 400 creates a reservation information IF 500 by performing a reservation change process, and transmits it to the travel ticket designated ticket handling system. The reservation change support unit 32 of the travel ticket designated ticket handling system that has received the IF 500 from the train inventory management system processes the information of the IF 500.

  Next, the operation flow of each support unit will be described in detail.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the certification inquiry support unit 31 constituting the designated ticket handling system of the travel agency. The request information receiving unit 311 of the designated ticket handling system of the travel agency receives the request information (IF100) (S310). In response to this, the transmission source determination unit 312 determines the transmission source system (IF112) of the reception request information (IF100) (S311). Since the verification inquiry is a process that is started at a fixed time at a fixed time on the inquiry date, it operates in response to a start request from the designated ticket handling system of the travel agency that is its own system. If the transmission source system (IF112) of the reception request information (IF100) matches the own system name, the process proceeds to S312. If the transmission source matches the train inventory management system name, the process proceeds to S313. After the completion of S312, the verification query request information is transmitted to each system based on the transmission destination system name (IF111 or IF311) of the edited verification query request information (IF100 or IF300) (S314).

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart for explaining the test query request transmission process (S312) in detail. The reception number management storage unit 333 is searched using the record number (IF120) of the reception request information (IF100) as a key (S3120). If the record number exists, the process advances to S3122. On the other hand, if the record number does not exist, the process ends (S3121). In S3122, the test reference date (field 3336) and “today's date” of the record that matches the record number (IF120) are determined (S3122). If it matches with “today's date”, that is, if the corresponding record is the subject of verification, the process advances to S3124. On the other hand, if it does not coincide with “today's date”, the process proceeds to S3125 (S3123). In S3124, the certification inquiry request information (IF200) is set for the train inventory management system (S3124). The reservation contents (field 3335) of the receipt number management storage unit 333 are set in the train information (IF220) of the test reference request information (IF200). In addition, “Train inventory management system” is set in the transmission destination system (IF211) of the communication header, “Travel company designated ticket handling system” is set in the transmission source system (IF212), and “Verification inquiry” is set in the request type (IF213). In the reception number (IF 214), the reception number (field 3334) of the corresponding record in the reception number management storage unit 333 is set. In SF13, in order to activate the next verification inquiry, the verification reference request information (IF100) is set for the designated ticket handling system of the travel agency. The record number (IF120) of the test query request internal interface (IF100) is set to a value obtained by adding 1 to the record number (IF120) received as request information in order to execute the next record. The destination system (IF111) of the communication header is “travel company designated ticket handling system”, the source system (IF112) is “travel agency designated ticket handling system”, and the request type (IF113) is “certification”. “Inquiry” is set (S3125).

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart for explaining the test query request reception process (S313). Using the reception number (IF 314) of the reception information (IF 500) as a key, the reception number management storage unit 333 is searched (S3130). The system arrival sequence number (IF540) of the reception information (IF500) is set in the system arrival order (field 3337) of the reception number management storage unit 333. The train unit arrival order (IF550) of the reception information (IF500) is set in the train unit arrival rank (field 3338) of the receipt number management storage unit 333 (S3131). The receipt number management storage unit 333 is updated (S3131).

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the reservation change support unit 32 constituting the designated ticket handling system of the travel agency. Reservation change information (IF300) is received from each travel agency in the travel ticket designated ticket handling system (S320). In response to this, the transmission source determination unit 322 determines the transmission source system (IF 312) of the reception information (IF 300) (S321). If the transmission source system (IF 312) is from the designated ticket handling system of each travel agency, the process proceeds to S322. If the transmission source system (IF 312) is from the train inventory management system, the process proceeds to S323. After completion of S322, the edited request information (IF400) is transmitted to the train inventory management system (S324).

  Here, the reservation change request transmission process (S322) will be described in detail. The reception number management storage unit 333 is accessed using the reception number (IF320) of the reservation change information (IF300) as a key (S3220). The reservation content (field 3335) of the record 3330 is set in the pre-change train information (IF420) of the reservation change request information (IF400). The changed train information (IF330) of the reservation change information (IF300) is set to the changed train information (IF430) of the reservation change request information (IF400). The system arrival order (field 3337) of the record 3330 is set to the system arrival order (IF440) of the reservation change request information (IF400). Also, “Train inventory management system” is accepted in the destination system (IF411) of the communication header, “Travel company designated ticket handling system” is accepted in the source system (IF412), and “Reservation change” is accepted in the request type (IF413) The reception number (IF320) of the reception reservation change information (IF300) is set to the number (IF414) (S3221).

  Next, the reservation change request reception process (S323) will be described in detail. The receipt number management storage unit is accessed using the receipt number as a key (S3230). The train unit arrival rank (IF550) of the received answer information (IF500) is set in the train unit arrival rank (field 3338) of the corresponding record (3330) (S3231). The receipt number management storage unit 333 is updated (S3232).

  FIG. 18 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the system arrival order verification support unit 41 constituting the train inventory management system. Receives various request information (IF300 or IF400) from the travel company's designated ticket handling system and train inventory management system transmitted via the network 2 (S411). In response, the transmission source system determination unit 412 determines the transmission source system (IF 312 or IF 412) of the reception request information (IF 300 or IF 400) (S412). If the transmission source system (IF 312 or IF 412) of the reception request information (IF 300 or IF 400) is a travel company designated ticket handling system (travel company designated ticket handling system), the process proceeds to S414. When the transmission source system (IF312 or IF412) of the reception request information (IF300 or IF400) is a railway company designated ticket handling system, the processing flow is ended (S413). The request type of each received request information (IF300 or IF400) is verified (S414). If the request type is a test query request, the process proceeds to S416. If the request type is other than the verification inquiry request, the processing flow is terminated (S415).

  Here, the system arrival order determination unit will be described in detail. The system arrival order determination unit is executed when the request type of the received information is a test inquiry request. The system arrival order storage unit 417 is accessed, and the current system arrival order (field 4161) is acquired (S4140). 1 is added to the acquired system arrival order (S4141). The value calculated in S4141 is the system arrival order of the request data. The system arrival order storage unit 417 is updated (S4142).

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the work instruction support unit 42 constituting the train inventory management system. The request content determination unit 421 receives the request information (IF200) from the travel company designated ticket handling system and the railway company designated ticket handling system received from the system arrival order determination support unit 41 via the network I / F unit 425. Receive (S430). In response, the request type determination unit 422 determines the request type (IF 213) (S431). If the request type (IF213) is a test query request, the process proceeds to S432. If the request type is a reservation change request, the process proceeds to S433. If the request type is a sale request, the process proceeds to S434. After each process is completed according to the request type, the processing result is returned to the designated ticket handling system of the travel company and the designated ticket handling system of the railway company (S435). In addition, since the railway company's designated ticket handling system does not accept advance reservations, only a sale request is transmitted. Since the present invention is applied to the test inquiry request and the reservation change request, the description of the sale process (S434) is omitted in the following description.

  FIG. 20 is a flowchart for explaining S432 (test inquiry process) in FIG. The train seat sales storage information section 433 is accessed using the train name (IF220) of the request information (IF200) as a search key, and the number of seats available for sale (field 4333) and the number of seats already released (field 4334) are obtained. . Based on the acquired number of available seats and the number of released seats, the number of remaining seats of the requested train (number of available seats−number of released seats = number of remaining seats) is calculated (S4320). If the number of remaining seats calculated in S4320 is not 0 (zero), the process proceeds to S4312. If the number of remaining seats is 0 (zero), the process proceeds to S4325 (S4321). If the number of remaining seats is not 0 (zero), it is determined that there is a possibility that a seat can be secured at the time of release, and the number of seats already released (field 4334) of the requested train in the train seat sales storage information unit 433 is updated ( 1 count up) (S4322). Next, the train unit arrival rank (field 4335) of the requested train in the train seat sales memory information unit 433 is updated. The train unit arrival rank (field 4335) has a plurality of entries, but entries corresponding to the value set in the number of seats available for sale (field 4333) are valid entries. The value of the number of seats already sold (field 4334) calculated in S4322 indicates the entry of the train unit arrival order updated by the request, and the system arrival order of the request calculated by the system arrival order determination support unit 41 is set. (S4323). In order to reply the processed result to the transmission source system, information is set with the (B) OK pattern of the test inquiry reply information (IF500) (S4324). Note that the system arrival order of the request calculated by the system arrival order determination support unit 41 is set in the system arrival order (IF540) of the test inquiry response information (IF500). In addition, the number of released seats calculated in S4322 is set in the train unit arrival rank (IF550) of the test inquiry response information (IF500). On the other hand, if the number of remaining seats is 0 (zero), at the time of release, it is judged that there is a possibility that the required train is full and seats cannot be secured, and the above-mentioned verification inquiry reply is sent to the sender system to that effect. Information is set with the (C) NG pattern of the information (IF500) (S4325).

  FIG. 21 is a flowchart for explaining S433 (reservation order replacement processing) in FIG. First, process the train before the change. The train seat storage information unit 433 is accessed using the train name (IF420) of the reservation change request information (IF400) as a key, and the number of released seats (field 4334) of the pre-change train is subtracted by 1 (S4330). Next, the train unit arrival order in the train before change is specified from the system arrival order (IF440) of the reservation change request information (IF400), and the order after the request is advanced (S4331). Subsequently, processing for the changed train is performed. The train seat storage information unit 433 is accessed using the train name of the post-change train information (IF430) of the reservation change request information (IF400) as a key. From the system arrival order (IF440) of the reservation change request information (IF400), the insertion destination entry of the train unit arrival order is specified, and the order after the insertion destination entry is lowered (S4332). The system arrival order of the request is set for the insertion entry of the empty train unit arrival order (S4333). Reply information is created to reply the processing result to the transmission source system, and the processing flow is ended (S4334).

  In FIG. 22, S433 (reservation order replacement process) of FIG. 19 described in FIG. 21 will be described based on actual data. Here, a description will be given of a movement when a request having a system arrival rank of 3 at the time of the verification inquiry changes the requested train from “train A01” to “train A03”. The train name storage information section 433 is accessed using the train name “train A01” before the change of the request information as a key, and the number of released seats (field 4334) of “train A01” is decremented by 1 (S4330).
