Description

  The present invention relates to a network system in which a bicycle share system for lending a bicycle owned by a business operator to a user is incorporated in a network system for selling products or providing services through the Internet.

  For example, a so-called net supermarket in which a supermarket trader who sells products at an existing store receives an order for the product through the Internet and delivers the ordered product from the existing store to a private house is becoming widespread.

  In addition, a so-called net convenience store service is also known in which a merchant that operates a convenience store franchise accepts an order for a product on the Internet and can receive the ordered product at a designated existing convenience store.

  On the other hand, the use of a bicycle instead of an automobile as a moving means is linked to environmental protection, and therefore, attention is focused on the bicycle as a moving means. However, I want to use my bicycle for commuting to work or school, but there is no parking space at the station, and there is no parking space within a radius of 500 meters from the station, or there is no parking space at home. , You may be forced to lose the use of a bicycle.

  From such a background, for example, as introduced in Non-Patent Document 1, a bicycle share service in which a business operator such as a public organization lends a bicycle to a user free of charge or for a fee has been proposed. It has been implemented.

  In the above-mentioned online supermarkets and convenience stores, existing stores around the station or near the user's house are used as product stock yards. ”,“ I ca n’t expect any more sales. ”

  In other words, in the case of an online supermarket, delivery from an existing store is performed, but the delivery fee is required separately from the product price, which is a burden for the user and for the operator, the labor and cost for home delivery are reduced. This is a burden, and it is impossible to handle a large number of orders from many users, and sales cannot be increased.

  In the case of a net convenience store, basically, delivery of ordered items to the user's home is not performed, and it is necessary to go to the store designated by the user and pick up the product. For this reason, since the user hesitates to order the product in consideration of the trouble of taking over the product, the order quantity does not increase and the sales increase cannot be expected.

  On the other hand, in the bicycle share service, a business operator must prepare a specific bicycle parking lot. The bicycle parking lot is newly provided near the station or near the user's house, which is convenient for the user. This is generally difficult from a cost standpoint. For this reason, there is a problem that it is difficult to improve rental bicycles around the station because users are not encouraged to use rental bicycles because they have to go to places that are not convenient. .

  It is an object of the present invention to provide a network system including a bicycle share system that can solve the above-described problem of product delivery in online transactions such as online supermarkets and online convenience stores and the problem of bicycle parking in the bicycle share. And

When it is determined that the rental is related, a share point as a premium point for bicycle rental is given to the member and stored.

Here, the online transaction for each member, which is determined to have been performed in connection with the bicycle rental, or the product purchase at the convenience store 21 is, for example, as follows. For example,
(1) A net transaction in which a member has received an ordered product at a store 21 at a rental start location and at a nearby point in time that can be regarded as related to the rental start date and time.

(2) An online transaction in which a member has received the ordered product at a store 21 at the rental end location (bicycle return location) and at a nearby time point that can be considered to be related to the rental end date (bicycle return date).

(3) Purchase of a product by a member at a store at the start of the rental at a point in time that can be regarded as related to the start date of rental.

(4) Purchase of a product by a member at a store at a rental end location (bicycle return location) at a point in time that can be regarded as related to the rental end date (bicycle return date).

(5) Between the bicycle rental start date and time and return date (return date), the member placed an order at another store 21 between the rental start location and the bicycle end location by bicycle return. Online transactions that received goods.

(6) Purchase of a product by a member at another store 21 between the rental start location and the rental end location from the rental start location to the end date and time (return date) of the bicycle rental .

  That is, in this example, whether the online transaction for each member or the purchase of goods at the store is related to the bicycle rental, the store that started the bicycle rental and the start date and time, the store that returned the bicycle and the return date and time In addition, the determination is made based on the receiving store and the receiving date and time of the product ordered through the online transaction, and the store and the purchasing date and time of purchasing the product.

[Bicycle rental application, bicycle delivery, bicycle return and collection]
Next, with regard to the operation of the share management device 300 of the manager 3, the communication terminal 200 of the member 2, and the communication terminal 400 of the delivery worker 4 in the bicycle rental application, bicycle delivery and rental start, return and collection of the bicycle, This will be described in detail.

[From bicycle rental application to delivery]
<Bicycle rental application: processing at member communication terminal 200; FIG. 8>
The flow of processing operations at the communication terminal 200 when the member 2 applies for bicycle rental is as shown in FIG. When the member 2 wishes to apply for bicycle rental, first, the member 2 selects a bicycle share from the bookmark list of the communication terminal 200, for example. Then, the control unit 210 of the communication terminal 200 displays on the LCD 223 a screen that prompts the member ID and password to be input in the bicycle share system 101, as shown in step S101 of FIG.

  In step S 101, when the member 2 inputs the member ID and password and executes access to the network, the SNS participation processing unit 215 of the communication terminal 200 stores the account information of the SNS 103 stored in the member information holding unit 211. And the password are sent to the management server of the SNS 103 to log in to the SNS 103. When the login to the SNS 103 is completed, the control unit 210 includes a bicycle share menu including “rental application” and “bicycle return” as menu selection items on the screen of the LCD 223 of the communication terminal 200 according to the support program of the bicycle share system. Is displayed (step S102).

  When the member 2 selects “rental application” from the application menu through the touch panel 224 and performs a determination operation, the control unit 210 displays a list of types of bicycles to be rented on the screen of the LCD 223 (step S103). .

  Therefore, when the member 2 selects a desired bicycle type from the list of bicycle types and performs a determination operation, the control unit 210 holds it in the buffer and then displays the rental start location on the display screen of the LCD 223. That is, a screen for setting the rental start location and scheduled start date and time of the rental bicycle is displayed, and designation of the rental start location and scheduled start date and time are accepted (step S104).

  The member inputs the scheduled start date and time through the touch panel 224. Then, the control unit 210 holds the input date / time information in a buffer.

  As for the rental start location, the vicinity of the current location and the vicinity of the designated location can be selected. When the vicinity of the current location is selected, a list of a plurality of super stores 11 and convenience stores 21 near the current location measured by the GPS positioning unit 206 is displayed, and the member 2 starts rental from the list of the super stores 11 and the convenience store 21 A place can be selected. Further, when the vicinity of the designated location is made by the member 2, a list of a plurality of super stores 11 and convenience stores 21 in the vicinity of the designated location is displayed, and the member 2 starts rental from the list of the super stores 11 and the convenience store 21 A place can be selected.

  The communication terminal 200 of the member 2 obtains a list of selectable stores near the current location from the SNS management server as an answer by sending the location information of the current location measured by the GPS positioning unit 206 to the SNS management server. Can be referred to. Similarly, the communication terminal 200 can obtain a list of selectable stores near the designated location by sending the location information of the designated location to the SNS management server as an answer from the SNS management server. It is said that. The control unit 210 stores the identification information (store ID) of the store selected and designated by the member 2 in the buffer as designation information on the start location of the rental bicycle.

  Next, when the designation of the rental start location and the scheduled start date and time in step S104 is completed and an instruction to execute a bicycle rental application is received from the member 2, the posting information generation unit 212 of the communication terminal 200 applies the bicycle rental application. A message text is generated, and post information at the time of application in which a member ID and a password are added to the type of bicycle stored in the buffer, the store ID of the rental start location, and the scheduled start date and time of rental is generated. The bicycle rental application message text is generated as a fixed text such as “Application for bicycle rental”, for example.

  Then, the posting processing unit 213 of the communication terminal 200 posts the bicycle rental application message text generated by the posting information generation unit 212 and the post information at the time of application to the SNS 103 using the message account (step S105). In this embodiment, the bicycle rental application post is added with a “rental application” hashtag, and the SNS 103 has a share management apparatus 300 of the manager 3 who is in a friendship relationship with the member 2. In this case, it is possible to refer to a post to which a “return” hash tag described later is added.

<Receiving a bicycle rental application; processing by the manager's share management device 300; FIG. 9>
Since the member 2 and the manager 3 are in a friendship relationship and the post with the “rental application” hash tag added from the member 2 is set so that the manager 3 can refer to the SNS 103, share In a state where the management device 300 is logged in to the SNS 103, the posting reference unit 308 of the share management device 300 can refer to the bicycle rental application message and the application post information from the member 2 (step S111 in FIG. 9). . In the following description, the member 2 who has posted the rental application is referred to as a member 2S in order to distinguish it from the other members 2.

  The share management apparatus 300 determines that there is a rental application from the member 2S by referring to the post of the member 2S of this “rental application”, and performs member authentication based on the password and the member ID being posted by the member 2S ( Step S112).

  As a result of the member authentication, when the authentication is NG, the posting processing unit 307 of the share management apparatus 300 informs that the rental application is NG as a direct message addressed to the member 2S who posted the rental application. Post (step S113). Since the posting log of this rental application NG is displayed on the screen of the LCD 223 of the communication terminal 200 of the member 2S, the member 2S knows the rental application NG and takes measures such as reapplying.

When the authentication is OK as a result of the member authentication, the control unit 310 of the share management apparatus 300 registers the member ID of the member 2S in the rental management unit 305M (step S114).
Then, when the rental application is OK, the control unit 310 of the share management apparatus 300 determines the type of bicycle requested for rental included in the posted information of the member 2S, and the storage unit 304M of the rental bicycle management unit 304 Bicycles that are not in use are searched for from the types of bicycles stored in the table.

  Then, when the control unit 310 of the share management apparatus 300 finds a bicycle that is not in use, the control unit 310 refers to the current location of the bicycle and searches for a bicycle having the current location as the store designated by the rental application. If there is a bicycle whose current location is the store designated by the rental application, the control unit 310 of the share management apparatus 300 determines that the bicycle is to be rented to the member 2S, and the store designated by the rental application is the current location. If there is no bicycle, the bicycle in another store or a separate bicycle parking facility is determined as a bicycle to be rented to the member 2S. Then, the control unit 310 of the share management apparatus 300 extracts the determined bicycle ID and the bicycle image information from the rental bicycle storage unit 304M.

  Then, the control unit 310 of the share management apparatus 300 uses the message account to accept the rental application including the fact that the rental application is OK and the bicycle image information determined as the bicycle to be rented by the posting processing unit 307. Then, it is posted as a direct message addressed to the member 2S who posted the rental application (step S115). This posting is referred to by the communication terminal 200 of the member 2S, and the member 2S can recognize that the rental application has been accepted and can check the bicycle image to be rented.

  If the bicycle determined to be rented to the member 2S is a bicycle whose current location is the store designated by the rental application, the control unit 310 of the share management device 300 does not need delivery, so No delivery instruction is required.

  On the other hand, if the bicycle determined to be rented to the member 2S is a bicycle that does not have the store designated by the rental application as the current location, the delivery is instructed from the determined location of the bicycle to the store designated by the rental application. That is, the control unit 310 of the share management apparatus 300 uses the message account to extract the extracted bicycle ID and bicycle image information, information including the current location of the bicycle, the store ID of the delivery destination and the location thereof, and delivery date and time information. A “delivery” hashtag is added and posted to the SNS 103 (step S116). In the SNS 103, only the manager 3 and the delivery worker 4 can refer to the post to which the hash tag “delivery” is added, among the manager 3, the delivery worker 4 and the member 2 who are friends. It is preset so that

  In addition, all the delivery workers 4 can refer to the post to which the “delivery” hash tag is added, but the delivery worker 4 who can execute the content of the post responds to the reference of the post. Similarly, a “delivery” hash tag is added and message information indicating that the delivery is to be performed is posted to the SNS 103. Then, since all the other delivery workers 4 and the manager 3 can refer to the posting, the other delivery workers 4 and the manager 3 determine that the delivery instruction has been completed.

  Next, the control unit 310 of the share management apparatus 300 records “delivering” in the storage unit 304M of the rental bicycle management unit 304 corresponding to the bicycle ID transmitted to the delivery worker 4 (step S117).

  Then, the control unit 310 of the share management device 300 displays the rental application information that is OK, that is, the member ID of the member who applied for the rental, the store ID of the planned rental start location, the scheduled rental start date and time, the network server 10 and 20 is notified through the Internet. In this case, when the store at the planned start location of the rental is the super store 11, only the net server 10 is notified, and when the store at the planned start location of the rental is the convenience store 21, only the net server 20 is notified.

  Next, the delivery worker 4 who accepted the delivery instruction by the posting from the manager 3 to the SNS 103, when delivery of the bicycle to be rented is completed, adds a “delivery” hashtag to that effect and posts it. The control unit 310 of the share management apparatus 300 confirms the posting of the completion of the delivery of the bicycle to be rented from the delivery worker 4 by the posting reference unit 308.

  When it is confirmed by the posting reference unit 308 that the post information of the delivery completion from the delivery worker 4 has been referred to, the control unit 310 of the share management apparatus 300 uses the bicycle ID included in the referred post information, and the corresponding bicycle key. Is released from the rental bicycle storage unit 304M, and the key release information is posted to the SNS 103 as a direct message addressed to the member 2S (step S119).

<Bicycle delivery by delivery worker; Processing at delivery worker's communication terminal: FIG. 10>
When the delivery worker 4 inputs the SNS account assigned to the communication terminal 400 and the password and sends it to the network, the communication terminal 400 of the delivery worker 4 logs into the SNS 103. When the communication terminal of the delivery worker 4 is a terminal dedicated to the SNS 103, the SNS 103 automatically uses the delivery worker's SNS account and password when the terminal is powered on. You can always be logged in.

  In a state where the communication terminal 400 of the delivery worker 4 is logged in to the SNS 103, the delivery worker 4 is in a friendship relationship with the manager 3, and a post to which the “delivery” hashtag is added is sent to the delivery worker 4 4 is set so that only all of 4 can be referred to, the delivery worker 4 refers to the post information of delivery instructions corresponding to the bicycle rental application by the member 2S from the administrator 3 by the communication terminal 400. (Step S121 in FIG. 10).

  As a result of referring to this posting, the communication terminal 400 of the delivery worker 4 acquires delivery location, delivery date and time designation information, and delivery bicycle image information. In this example, although not shown, the communication terminal 400 of the delivery worker 4 stores the store ID of the store in charge of delivery by the delivery worker 4 who owns the terminal. Then, the communication terminal 400 of the delivery worker 4 allows the store with the store ID designated as the delivery destination by the delivery location designation information acquired as the posting reference result to be delivered by the delivery worker 4 who owns the terminal. It is determined whether the store is in charge of. Then, including the result of determining whether or not the store is in charge of delivery, the delivery destination store, the delivery date and time, and the image information and current location of the delivered bicycle are displayed on the LCD screen, for example. The operator is notified (step S122).

  The delivery worker looks at the display on the LCD screen and decides whether or not to accept delivery. When the delivery worker decides to receive delivery, the delivery receipt post is added with a hash tag “delivery”. This is performed (step S123). Then, the delivery worker 4 executes delivery of the bicycle, and when delivery is completed, a delivery completion post is added with a “delivery” hash tag (step S124).

  Further, a delivery worker 4 who has decided not to deliver in response to a delivery instruction from the manager 3 or a delivery worker 4 who has delayed the decision to accept delivery is delayed from other delivery workers 4 A post from the worker 4 is referred to (step S125). By referring to the post from the other delivery worker 4, the delivery worker 4 confirms delivery acceptance by the other delivery worker (step S126). Further, after that, a post of delivery completion from another delivery worker 4 is referred to (step S127), thereby confirming the completion of delivery by the other delivery worker 4.

  Note that the post of delivery acceptance in step S123 and the post of delivery completion in step S124 are confirmed with reference to the administrator 3 as described above.

<Receiving the delivered bicycle: processing at the communication terminal of the member 2S; FIG. 11>
The posting reference unit 214 of the communication terminal 200 of the member 2S refers to the posting of acceptance of the rental application from the manager 3 (step S131), and displays a message text indicating that the rental application is OK and an image of the bicycle to be delivered. The information is displayed on the screen of the LCD 223 and notified to the member 2S (step S132).

  On the other hand, as described above, when the share management device 300 confirms the post information of delivery completion from the delivery worker 4, the share management device 300 sends the release key information for unlocking the delivered bicycle to the member 2S as a data account. Therefore, the posting reference unit 214 of the communication terminal 200 of the member 2S refers to the posting (step S133), and acquires and holds the release key information (step S134). Posts made by the data account are not presented to the member 2S.

  In response to the notification in step S132, the member 2S visits the store at the delivery location to receive the delivered bicycle, and specifies the bicycle to start rental using the acquired bicycle image. The member then unlocks the bicycle using the release key information acquired in step S134 (step S135). In this case, when the bicycle key is mechanical, the control unit 210 of the communication terminal 200 displays a combination number for releasing the key on the display screen of the LCD 223. The member 2S releases the lock by setting the combination number displayed on the display screen of the LCD 223 for the key. Further, when the bicycle key is electronic, the RF-ID communication unit 209 loads the second encryption key acquired in step S134 on the bicycle based on the control instruction of the control unit 210 of the communication terminal 200. Is sent to the RF-ID communication unit, and the lock is released.

  Next, the control unit 210 of the communication terminal 200 communicates with the RF-ID communication unit of the bicycle through the RF-ID communication unit 209 to acquire the bicycle ID (step S136). Next, the communication terminal 200 generates a rental start message text including the bicycle ID in the posting information generation unit 212, and executes the posting of the rental start message to the SNS 103 by the posting processing unit 213 (step 103). S137).

  The communication terminal 200 that has posted the rental start message further measures the position information of the current location by the GPS positioning unit 206 (step S138), and associates the acquired position information of the current location with the bicycle ID acquired in step S136. , Posting to the SNS 103 using the data account (step S139). The communication terminal 200 executes the posting of the current location information acquired in steps S138 and S139 until the bicycle is returned, for example, at regular intervals.

  In the above example, only the release key information is transmitted from the share management device 300. However, the share management device 300 transmits the bicycle ID of the bicycle to be delivered together with the release key information. Anyway.

  In that case, the bicycle to be rented can be easily found as follows by communication with the bicycle using the bicycle ID. That is, in this example, as described above, each rental bicycle is equipped with an RF-ID communication unit that stores its own bicycle ID. In this example, the RF-ID communication unit of the rental bicycle includes a light emitting unit and a buzzer sound generating unit to indicate that the communication is being performed when the bicycle ID is communicated. When the member 2S communicates using the acquired bicycle ID by the RF-ID communication unit 209 of the communication terminal 200, the RF-ID communication unit of the bicycle with the corresponding bicycle ID is provided with the light emitting unit provided. And a buzzer sound generator to notify that communication is in progress. Thereby, the member 2S can easily find a bicycle to rent.

<Management during rental of delivered bicycle; processing in share management device: FIG. 12>
The share management apparatus 300 refers to the posting of the rental start message from the member 2S by the posting reference unit 308 (step S141), and confirms the start of rental of the bicycle with the bicycle ID (step S142).

  Then, the control unit 310 of the share management apparatus 300 records “in use” as the availability information corresponding to the bicycle ID in the rental bicycle storage unit 304M (step S143). Further, the control unit 310 of the share management apparatus 300 changes the usage status corresponding to the bicycle ID from “delivering” to “in use” in the storage unit 305M of the rental management unit 305, and also sets the rental start date and time. The date and time when the rental start message is posted is recorded (step S144).

  In addition, when the control unit 310 of the share management apparatus 300 confirms the start of rental by the member 2S in step S142, the control unit 310 includes the store ID of the store to start rental and the rental start date and time in association with the member ID of the member 2S. A rental start notification is transmitted and reported to the net server 10 or the net server 20 via the Internet (step S145).

  Further, the share management apparatus 300 refers to the posting of the current location information by the data account from the member 2S by the posting reference unit 308 (step S146), and acquires the current location information of the rented bicycle (step S147). Then, the control unit 310 of the share management apparatus 300 records the acquired current location information in the storage unit 305M of the rental management unit 305 as current location information corresponding to the bicycle ID included in the post (step S144).

  As described above, according to this embodiment, the member 2 can use the rental bicycle delivered to the selected store at any delivery date and time. In this case, since the rental bicycle can be confirmed by the image information, it is possible to prevent the delivery worker 4 and the member 2 from mistaking the rental target bicycle.

  In addition, since the rental bicycle is delivered with a lock that can only be released by the rental applicant, it is possible to prevent the rental bicycle from being used without permission by anyone other than the rental applicant.

  In addition, when the rental bicycle is in use after delivery, the current location of the member can be checked at all times, making it easier to grasp the current location of the rental bicycle and if a bicycle malfunction occurs. However, it is possible to go to the place and take appropriate measures.

[From bicycle return to collection]
<Bicycle return: Member's 2S mobile phone terminal processing; FIG. 13>
First, the member 2 selects a bicycle share from the bookmark list of the communication terminal 200 and notifies the bicycle share as shown in Step S151 in FIG. A screen prompting the user to input a member ID and password in the system is displayed on the LCD 223.

  In this step S151, when the member 2S inputs the member ID and password and executes access to the network, the SNS participation processing unit 215 of the communication terminal 200 stores the account information of the SNS 103 stored in the member information holding unit 211. And the password are sent to the management server of the SNS 103 to log in to the SNS 103. When the login to the SNS 103 is completed, the control unit 210 includes a bicycle share menu including “rental application” and “bicycle return” as menu selection items on the screen of the LCD 223 of the communication terminal 200 according to the support program of the bicycle share system. Is displayed (step S152).

  When the member 2S selects “return bicycle” from the application menu through the touch panel 224 and performs a determination operation, the control unit 210 shoots a locked rental bicycle to be returned to the bicycle return place on the LCD 223 screen. A message to be requested is displayed on the display screen of the LCD 223, and the member 2S is notified by voice (step S153).

  In accordance with this notification, the member 2S uses the camera unit 207 at the return location to photograph the locked bicycle that can be checked so that the location can be confirmed. The captured image information is held in the captured image information holding unit 208 of the communication terminal 200. At this time, the information stored in the photographed image information holding unit 208 includes the photographing position measured by the GPS positioning unit 206 as one of the Exif information as the accompanying information associated with the photographed image information. Location information is included. The control unit 210 of the communication terminal 200 sends the location information of the shooting location to the SNS management server as location information of the location to be returned, acquires the store ID corresponding to the location information, and acquires the captured image information storage unit 208. In addition, the information is stored corresponding to the photographed image information.

  Next, when an instruction to execute a bicycle return and collection request is received from a member, the posting information generation unit 212 of the communication terminal 200 generates a bicycle return message and is held in the captured image information storage unit 208. Return posting information is generated by adding the member ID and the bicycle ID to the image information and the store ID as the position information. The bicycle return message text is generated as a fixed text such as “I will return the rental bicycle”, for example.

  Then, the posting processing unit 213 of the communication terminal 200 sends the bicycle return message text, the image information, and the shooting position (return position) position information generated by the posting information generation unit 212 to the SNS 103 using the message account. Post (step S154).

  Then, the communication terminal 200 stops posting the current location information that has always been used during rental and use (step S155). With the above, the process for returning the rental bicycle in the member communication terminal 200 is completed.

  In this embodiment, the rental bicycle return post at this time is added with a “return” hash tag so that the SNS 103 can refer to the manager 3 who is in friendship with the member 2S. Is set in advance. However, the delivery worker 4 may be referred to the return post.

<Bicycle return; processing in the share management apparatus: FIG. 14>
The member 2S and the manager 3 are in a friendship relationship, and the posting of the member 2S can be referred to by the manager 3. Therefore, when the share management device 300 is logged in to the SNS 103, the posting reference unit 308 of the share management device 300. Can refer to post information on returning bicycles from the member 2S (step S161 in FIG. 14).

  The control unit 310 of the share management apparatus 300 determines that there is a rental bicycle return request from the member 2S by referring to the posting of the return message to which the hash tag “return” is added from the member 2S. A return acceptance message is posted as a direct message addressed to 2S (step S162).

  In addition, the control unit 310 of the share management apparatus 300 recognizes the member ID and the bicycle ID included in the posting of the return, and “returned” the usage status of the corresponding bicycle ID in the storage unit 305M of the rental management unit 305. Change to In addition, the share management apparatus 300 records the store ID of the return place included in the return post as the current position of the bicycle ID that has been “returned”, and the return post date as the rental end date and time. Is recorded (step S163).

  Further, the control unit 310 of the share management device 300 changes the availability information of the bicycle ID in the rental bicycle storage unit 304M to “vacant” and stores the store ID received from the net server 10 or 20 as the current location. (Step S164).

  Furthermore, the control unit 310 of the share management device 300 sends the member ID of the member 2S who has posted the return and the rental end date and time, and also sends a share point acquisition request to the network servers 10 and 20 through the Internet. (Step S166). In response to this, the net servers 10 and 20 calculate share points based on net transactions related to the bicycle rental of the members 2S and purchases of goods at the stores 11 and 21 as described above, and the share points. I will send you information.

  The control unit 310 of the share management apparatus 300 acquires the share points sent from the net servers 10 and 20 (step S167). Then, the control unit 310 of the share management apparatus 300 includes a rental time based on the rental start date and time from the rental start date and time in the rental management unit 305, a bicycle type based on the bicycle ID, and a share point acquired from the net servers 10 and 20. Based on the above, billing processing is executed for the member of the member ID that rented the bicycle ID (step S178). As described above, the share point is used in this example for offsetting reduction of the rental fee.

  As described above, according to the above-described embodiment, the rental bicycle return place can be set at a store desired by the member. In that case, a photographed image including the bicycle locked at the return place is transmitted to the manager 3. Therefore, the manager 3 can also immediately request the member to lock the bicycle when the bicycle image included in the post of the return from the member is not locked. . For this reason, it is possible to prevent an unexpected situation in which theft is caused because the lock is not made.

  In addition, when a bicycle rental by bicycle share is used during the bicycle rental or when using the online transaction or the super store 11 or the convenience store 21 in connection with the bicycle rental, a share point is added for the use of the rental. Since the reduction can be offset from the fee, it can be expected to improve online transactions and purchase of products at stores while promoting the use of bicycle shares.

  In the above example, the bicycle is rented every time, but it is possible to apply for rental continuously, such as when commuting to work or school. In that case, for example, for every weekday, a predetermined use start place, return place, and time zone are specified, and a predetermined period is specified and rental is used. Even in that case, the above-mentioned rental start notification and end notification from the member are performed each time. In addition, the rental bicycle may be the same bicycle for a specified period, but from the share management apparatus 300, the rental bicycle and the key information for unlocking the bicycle are obtained from the share management device 300 so that the bicycle can be used each time. You may send it.

[Operation on Net Servers 10 and 20]
Next, processing operations relating to share point calculation in the network servers 10 and 20 will be described. The processing operation related to the calculation of the share point is the same between the net server 10 and the net server 20, so the following description will be given taking the case of the net server 20 as an example. Omitted. 15 to 17 are flowcharts for explaining processing operations related to share point calculation in the network server 20.

  The control unit 500 of the net server 20 determines whether or not the information from the share management device 300 has been received (step S201). If it is determined that the information has been received, the control unit 500 determines whether or not the information is bicycle rental application information (step S201). S202). When it is determined in step S202 that the information received from the share management device 300 is information on a bicycle rental application, the control unit 500 associates the member ID included in the received information with the received rental start planned location ( Store) and scheduled rental start date and time are stored in the rental history storage unit 509 for each member (step S203). Then, the control part 500 returns a process to step S201.

  If it is determined in step S202 that the information received from the share management device 300 is not bicycle rental application information, the control unit 500 determines whether or not the information received from the share management device 300 is bicycle rental start information. (Step S204). When it is determined in step S204 that the received information is information on the start of bicycle rental, the control unit 500 stores the rental history information stored in the member-specific rental history storage unit 509 in association with the member ID. The rental start date and time and the rental start location (store) are stored (step S205). Then, the control part 500 returns a process to step S201.

  If it is determined in step S204 that the information received from the share management device 300 is not information on the start of bicycle rental, the control unit 500 determines whether the information received from the share management device 300 is information on the end of bicycle rental. (Step S206). When it is determined in step S206 that the received information is information on the end of bicycle rental, the control unit 500 stores the rental history information stored in the member-specific rental history storage unit 509 in association with the member ID. The rental end date and time and the rental end location (store) are stored (step S207). Then, the control part 500 returns a process to step S201.

  When it is determined in step S201 that the information from the share management apparatus 300 has not been received, the control unit 500 determines whether or not a request for accessing a product order by a member's online transaction has been received (FIG. 16). Step S211). When it is determined in step S211 that the access request for the product order by the member's online transaction has been received, the control unit 500 performs processing corresponding to the product order request by the member's online transaction, and accepts the product order ( Step S212).

  Then, the control unit 500 stores, in the member-by-member order history storage unit 507, information on net transactions including the store ID of the store to receive the ordered product and the price of the ordered product in association with the member ID of the member who has placed the order. (Step S213). Then, the control part 500 returns a process to step S201. The control unit 500 also issues a delivery instruction for the received ordered product to the delivery worker 4.

  When it is determined in step S211 that an access request for a product order by a member's online transaction has not been received, the control unit 500 has received from the store information on execution of reception by the member of the product ordered by the online transaction. (Step S214), and when it is determined that the receipt execution information has been received, the store-by-member order history storage unit 507 stores the store ID of the store where the member has received the product and the information of the reception date and time ( Step S215). Then, the control part 500 returns a process to step S201.

  Further, when it is determined in step S214 that the member receiving execution information has not been received, the control unit 500 determines whether or not the member product purchase information from the store has been received (step S216). When it is determined in step S216 that the member's product purchase information from the store has been received, the control unit 500 purchases the product in the member-specific product purchase history storage unit 508 in association with the member ID and the store ID. The date and time and the price of the product are stored (step S217). Then, the control part 500 returns a process to step S201.

  Moreover, also when it determines with not having received the member's merchandise purchase information from a store in step S216, the control part 500 returns a process to step S201.

  Then, the network server 20 performs share point calculation and reporting processing shown in FIG. 17 at an appropriate timing before the share management device 300 executes billing processing for the rental fee for the member 2.

  That is, the control unit 500 of the net server 20 grasps the member ID of the member who has received the rental end (step S221), and determines whether there is an uncalculated net transaction by the member (step S222). When it is determined in this step S222 that there is an uncalculated net transaction, the control unit 500 stores information about the member in the order history storage unit 507 for each member and information about the member in the rental history storage unit 509 for each member. From the stored information, it is determined whether the date and time of receipt of the ordered product in the online transaction and the receiving store are related to bicycle rental (step S223).

  When it is determined in step S223 that there is a relationship as described above, the control unit 500 calculates a share point for the ordered product and uses the share point of the member stored in the share point 512 for each member. Add (step S224). If it is determined in step S223 that there is no relation as described above, the control unit 500 calculates a normal premium point for the ordered product and stores the normal member's normal stored in the point 511 for each member. The points are added (step S225).

  If it is determined in step S222 that there is no uncalculated net transaction for the member with the member ID grasped in step S221, it is determined whether or not there is product purchase information from an uncalculated store for the member ( Step S226). When it is determined in this step S226 that there is product purchase information from an uncalculated store, the control unit 500 stores the storage information about the member in the product purchase history storage unit 508 for each member and the rental history storage unit 509 for each member. From the stored information about the member, it is determined whether or not the product purchase date / time and the product purchase store are related to bicycle rental (step S227).

  When it is determined in this step S227 that there is a relationship as described above, the control unit 500 calculates a share point for the purchased product at the store and stores the member's share point 512 stored in the member's share point 512. Add to the share points (step S224). If it is determined in step S227 that there is no relationship as described above, the control unit 500 calculates a normal premium point for the purchased product and stores the normal member's normal stored in the point 511 for each member. The points are added (step S225).

  After the process of step S225, the control unit 500 determines whether or not the share point calculation process for all the members grasped in step S221 has been completed (step S228). The other member ID that has not been processed is designated (step S229), and the process returns to step S222.

  Further, when it is determined in step S228 that the share point calculation processing for all the members grasped in step S221 has been completed, the control unit 500 adds the share points calculated by the share point management unit 512 for each member to the respective share points. In association with the member ID, it is transmitted to the share management apparatus 300 (step S230). And the control part 500 complete | finishes this share point calculation and report processing routine.

Furthermore, with regard to online transactions and product purchases related to the use of rental bicycles, share points are granted so that they can be used for offsetting reductions in rental fees, etc. Since it can be expected that the purchase of goods at the store will increase, it is possible to expect an increase in sales by skillfully balancing the rental business with the online transaction and the sale of the product at the store.

[Other Embodiments or Modifications]
In the above embodiment, the rental bicycle use start place and the return place store are super stores and convenience store stores, but the present invention is not limited to this, and bicycle parking is a contract with a bicycle share system operator. Needless to say, it may be a shopping street in front of a station or other stores having a space.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the store that becomes the rental start place or the bicycle return place is a store that sells products. However, if the store has a bicycle parking lot, it provides services (services) instead of selling products. The store may be a barber shop, a beauty salon, a massage shop, a karaoke shop, or the like. In this case, these service providing stores conclude a contract with the network system operator of the present invention. Further, the target of the online transaction may be a reservation for provision of services instead of an order for purchase of goods. In that case, the place where the product is ordered corresponds to the place where the product ordered by the online transaction in the sale of the product is received.

  In the above embodiment, the share point is used for offsetting the reduction of the rental fee, but it goes without saying that the share point may be used for offsetting the reduction of the price for purchasing the product or providing the service. In addition, share points may be exchanged for provision of premium products and premium services.

  In the above-described embodiment, the bicycle is simply locked and the rental bicycle is returned. However, when the bicycle key is an electronic key, the key information is changed by the support program installed in the member. It can also be returned after being locked. That is, in the above-described embodiment, the electronic key is a secret key that uses the first encryption key and the second encryption key stored in the RF-ID. Both the first encryption key and the second encryption key are changed, the changed first encryption key is written in the RF-ID communication unit of the bicycle, and the changed second encryption key is stored. The information may be transmitted to the manager's management device.

  In that case, after the bicycle is returned, even the rented member can no longer use the rental bicycle, and the certainty of the act of returning is improved.
