[5. Action (Wireless LAN access point processing)]
Next, information processing of the wireless LAN access point 3 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 2 and FIG. FIG. 8 is a flowchart of information processing in the wireless LAN access point 3 according to the embodiment. Such an operation is a process repeatedly executed by the control unit 43 of the wireless LAN access point 3.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the control unit 43 of the wireless LAN access point 3 determines whether or not information on the wireless terminal 2 has been acquired (step S10). When a wireless packet (for example, a probe request) is periodically transmitted from the wireless terminal 2 by broadcasting or the like, the control unit 43 acquires the wireless packet via the wireless LAN-I / F 41 to thereby obtain the wireless terminal 2. Get information about.

  Also, the control unit 43 periodically broadcasts a predetermined wireless packet to the wireless terminal 2 to which no wireless packet is periodically transmitted via the wireless LAN-I / F 41, and a response packet to the wireless packet. Is received, information on the wireless terminal 2 is acquired.

For example, when the control unit 43 determines that the information of the wireless terminal 2 ₁ (see FIG. 2) has been acquired (step S10; Yes), the control unit 43 transmits the AP information including the acquired information via the communication I / F 42. It transmits to the reservation processing device 4 (step S11). Specifically, the control unit 43 extracts the wireless terminal 2 _first identification information included in the wireless packet transmitted from the wireless terminal 2 ₁ (terminal ID), further detects the radio wave strength of the wireless packet.

Then, the control unit 43, the terminal ID is identification information of the wireless terminal 2 _1, in addition to the information of the radio wave strength and the acquisition time of the wireless terminal 2 _1, the AP-ID is identification information of its own wireless LAN access point 3 The included information is transmitted to the reservation processing device 4 as AP information. As the identification information of the wireless LAN access point 3, for example, an address assigned to the communication I / F 42 can be used, but other identification information may be used as long as it is unique information.

In the processing of step S10, for example, if it is determined not to get information of the wireless terminal 2 ₁ (Step S10; No), or when the step S11 is finished, the control unit 43, from the reservation processor 4 It is determined whether information has been received via the communication I / F 42 (step S12). When it is determined from the reservation processor 4 that receives the information (step S12; Yes), the control unit 43 transfers the information received from the reservation processing unit 4 to the radio terminal 2 _m as the destination of this information (step S13) .

Here, the wireless terminal 2 _m described above has been detected by the control unit 43 among the wireless terminals 2 ₁ to 2 _n (see FIG. 2) to be present in the communication area of the wireless LAN access point 3. (Step S10; Yes) and represents the wireless terminal 2 that is currently in the communication area. One or a plurality of such wireless terminals _2m may be used. If the destination of the information received from the reservation processing device 4 is its own wireless LAN access point 3, the control unit 43 performs processing according to the received information.

In step S12, if it is determined that information is not received from the reservation processing unit 4 (step S12; No), or when the processing in step S13 is finished, the control unit 43, reservation processing device from the wireless terminal 2 _m It is determined whether there is a request for 4 (step S14).

When the control unit 43 determines that there is a request from the wireless terminal 2 _m to the reservation processing device 4 (step S14; Yes), the control unit 43 transfers the request from the wireless terminal 2 _m to the reservation processing device 4 via the communication I / F 42. (Step S15). Examples of requests from the wireless terminal 2 _m to the reservation processing device 4 include a reservation request and a reservation certificate issuance request.

When the process of step S15 is completed, or, in step S14, when it is determined that no request for reservation processing unit 4 from the wireless terminal _{2 m} (step S14; No), the control unit 43 ends the process. For example, the control unit 43 can execute multitask processing in which the processing in steps S10 and S11, the processing in steps S12 and S13, and the processing in steps S14 and S15 are performed in parallel.

  As described above, the control unit 43 of the wireless LAN access point 3 has a relay function for relaying transmission / reception of information performed between the wireless terminal 2 and the reservation processing device 4 as a relay unit. Further, the control unit 43 of the wireless LAN access point 3 acquires information on the wireless terminal 2 existing in the communication area, and transmits AP information including such information to the reservation processing device 4.

  In the above-described processing, every time the terminal ID of the wireless terminal 2 is acquired, the information is transmitted to the reservation processing device 4, but the control unit 43 determines the terminal ID of the wireless terminal 2 detected during the predetermined period. It is also possible to transmit to the reservation processing device 4 collectively.

  Further, the control unit 43 sets a wireless communication area of the wireless LAN-I / F 41 based on an input from an operation unit (not shown) of the wireless LAN access point 3. Note that the control unit 43 can also set the wireless communication area of the wireless LAN-I / F 41 based on a request from the reservation processing device 4.

[6. Action (Information processing of reservation processing device)]
Next, information processing of the reservation processing device 4 according to the embodiment will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart of information processing in the reservation processing device 4 according to the embodiment. Such an operation is a process repeatedly executed by the control unit 20 of the reservation processing device 4.

  As illustrated in FIG. 9, the control unit 20 determines whether or not the AP information from the wireless LAN access point 3 is received by the communication I / F 10 (step S20). When AP information is received (step S20; Yes), the control unit 20 executes notification processing (step S21). Such notification processing is processing in steps S30 to S35 shown in FIG. 10, and will be described in detail later.

  In step S20, when AP information is not received (step S20; No), the control unit 20 determines whether or not a reservation request from the wireless terminal 2 is received by the communication I / F 10 (step S22). When the reservation request is received (step S22; Yes), the control unit 20 executes a reservation reception process (step S23). This reservation acceptance process is the process of steps S40 to S44 shown in FIG. 12, and will be described in detail later.

  In step S22, when a reservation request is not received (step S22; No), the control unit 20 determines whether or not a reservation certificate issuance request from the wireless terminal 2 is received by the communication I / F 10 (step S24). ). When the booking certificate issuance request is received (step S24; Yes), the control unit 20 executes a booking certificate issuance process (step S25). This booking certificate issuing process is a process of steps S50 to S53 shown in FIG. 13, and will be described in detail later.

  In step S24, when the booking certificate issuance request is not received (step S24; No), the control unit 20 determines whether or not a reservation content execution notification is received by the communication I / F 10 (step S26). The accepting unit 21 of the control unit 20 makes an execution request for reservation contents using a reservation certificate from the wireless terminal 2 that has made the reservation request via the wireless LAN access point 3 installed in the reservation destination store that is the target of the reservation request. If it is, a reservation content execution notification that is a request for execution of the reservation content by the booking certificate is accepted. When the reservation content execution notification is received (step S26; Yes), the control unit 20 executes a settlement process (step S27). This settlement process is the process of steps S60 to S61 shown in FIG. 14, and will be described in detail later.

  In step S26, when the reservation content execution notification is not received (step S26; No), the control unit 20 determines whether or not the reservation availability information is received by the communication I / F 10 (step S28). When reservation availability information is received (step S28; Yes), the acquisition unit 23 of the control unit 20 updates the reservation data (step S29).

  For example, if there is a notification from the store terminal 5 corresponding to “Store A” that reservation is possible including information on the number of people that can be reserved, the acquisition unit 23 determines whether or not the reservation can be made at the reservation destination store ID “101” Set the information to “Reservable” and set the number of people that can be reserved. On the other hand, if there is a notification from the store terminal 5 corresponding to “Store A” that the reservation is not possible, the acquisition unit 23 sets the reservation availability information for the reservation destination store ID “101” in the reservation data as “Reservation not possible”. To "".

  When the processes of steps S21, S23, S25, S27, and S29 are completed, or when reservation availability information is not received in step S28 (step S28; No), the control unit 20 ends the process.

  In addition, although the acquisition part 23 of the control part 20 decided to set the information as to whether each store can be reserved in the reservation data by acquiring the reservation availability information transmitted from the store terminal 5, Whether or not each store can be reserved may be determined based on the degree of congestion in the store.

  For example, the acquisition unit 23 may be congested in the store based on the number of stores accommodated in the store ID specified in the store information table and the number of terminal IDs corresponding to the store ID specified in the detection terminal data. It is also possible to determine the condition and determine whether or not each store can be reserved based on the degree of congestion. For example, when the “capacity” of a certain store is 20 and the number of terminal IDs is 20, the acquisition unit 23 determines that the store is congested and determines that reservation is not possible.

  In this case, the acquisition unit 23 can also determine whether or not the reservation is possible based on the staying time of the wireless terminal 2 corresponding to the terminal ID and the reservation content in the reservation data. For example, even when there are 20 people and the number of terminal IDs is 10, reservation is not possible if the stay time of the wireless terminal 2 corresponding to the terminal ID is short and there are a plurality of reservations with the most recent reservation date and time. Is determined.

  Thus, even if the reservation availability information is not transmitted from the store terminal 5 or the like, the acquisition unit 23 of the control unit 20 is based on the reservation data or the detection terminal data stored in the storage unit 30 at each store. It is also possible to obtain the reservation availability information. Even in this case, when the reservation availability information is received from the store terminal 5 or the like, the acquisition unit 23 updates the reservation data with priority on the reservation availability information.

[7. Action (notification process)]
Next, the procedure of the notification process in step S21 shown in FIG. 9 will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the notification process shown in FIG. This notification process is a process executed when a reservation request is received from the wireless terminal 2 via the wireless LAN access point 3.

  As illustrated in FIG. 10, when the notification process is started, the detection unit 22 of the control unit 20 detects the detection terminal of the storage unit 30 based on AP information including AP-ID, terminal ID, radio wave intensity, and acquisition time information. Data is updated (step S30). Specifically, based on the AP information, the detection unit 22 detects and detects the wireless terminal 2 that has entered the store where the wireless LAN access point 3 that transmitted the AP information is installed (hereinafter referred to as the target store). Information related to the wireless terminal 2 is set in the detected terminal data.

  For example, it is assumed that the detection terminal data is in the state shown in FIG. 6 and the store ID of the target store is “101”. In this case, if the terminal ID included in the AP information is “203”, the detection unit 22 determines that the wireless terminal 2 already exists in the store communication area of the target store, and the terminal ID “203” in the detected terminal data. The radio wave intensity corresponding to is changed to the radio wave intensity included in the AP information.

  As a result, in the detected terminal data, the radio wave intensity information is updated every time AP information is acquired. It should be noted that the history of radio field intensity from the entry time of the wireless terminal 2 can be set in the detected terminal data.

  On the other hand, if the terminal ID included in the AP information is “201”, the terminal ID is not set in the detection terminal data in association with the store ID “101” of the target store. Therefore, the detection unit 22 detects that the wireless terminal 2 with the terminal ID “201” has entered the store communication area of the target store.

  Then, the detection unit 22 sets the terminal ID “201”, the acquisition time, and the radio wave intensity included in the AP information in association with the store ID “101” of the target store in the detection terminal data. The acquisition time is set in the detection terminal data as the check-in time to the store.

  As described above, the detection unit 22 detects the wireless terminal 2 existing in the store communication area of the target store, and sets information corresponding to the detection result as detection terminal data. When there is a terminal ID whose period not included in the AP information transmitted from the wireless LAN access point 3 installed in the corresponding store among the terminal IDs set in the detection terminal data is a predetermined period or more, the detection unit 22 deletes the terminal ID from the corresponding store ID of the detected terminal data.

  When the detection terminal data update process in step S30 ends, the detection unit 22 of the control unit 20 determines whether or not there is a wireless terminal 2 that is a notification target of store information (step S31). The detection unit 22 calculates the stay time of the wireless terminal 2 in the store communication area from the check-in time of the terminal ID in the detected terminal data, and becomes a preset stay time (hereinafter referred to as a set stay time). When there is a wireless terminal 2 present, it is determined that there is a notification target. The set staying time can be set for each store, that is, for each store ID. Thereby, it becomes possible to perform notification suitable for each store. In addition, when a plurality of wireless LAN access points 3 are installed in one store, different times can be set for each AP-ID.

  When there is a wireless terminal 2 to be notified (step S31; Yes), the extraction unit 24 of the control unit 20 stores store information that can be reserved for the wireless terminal 2 to be notified in the storage data stored in the storage unit 30. Extract from the inside (step S32). Specifically, the extraction unit 24 stores the store (hereinafter referred to as a reservation target store) that is a reservation target in the store where the wireless terminal 2 to be notified stays from the store information table stored in the storage unit 30. Extract the ID. For example, if the store information table is in the state shown in FIG. 5 and the store ID of the store where the notification target wireless terminal 2 stays is “101”, the extraction unit 24 stores the store IDs “102” and “103”. , “104” is extracted.

  And the extraction part 24 of the control part 20 determines whether it can be reserved in each shop corresponding to extracted shop ID. For example, if the store information table and the reservation data are in the state shown in FIGS. 5 and 7 and the store ID of the store where the wireless terminal 2 to be notified stays is “101”, the extraction unit 24 extracts the store Of the IDs “102”, “103”, and “104”, it is determined that the store with the store ID “102” cannot be reserved. On the other hand, in the reservation data, if the reservation availability information corresponding to the store IDs “103” and “104” is “reservable”, the extraction unit 24 extracts the extracted store IDs “102”, “103”, and “104”. Among these, it is determined that stores with store IDs “103” and “104” can be reserved.

  When the store information that can be reserved is extracted by the extraction unit 24, the transmission unit 25 of the control unit 20 notifies the store information via the wireless LAN access point 3 installed in the store where the wireless terminal 2 to be notified stays. The target wireless terminal 2 is notified (step S33). For example, when “Store B” and “Store C” corresponding to the store IDs “102” and “103” can be reserved among the reservation target stores, the transmission unit 25 sets “Store B” and “Store C”. Is notified to the notification target wireless terminal 2. Upon receiving such notification, the wireless terminal 2 displays information indicating that “Store B” and “Store C” can be reserved, for example, as shown in FIG. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of information displayed on the wireless terminal 2.

  As described above, the control unit 20 notifies the store information when the stay time of the wireless terminal 2 in one store is the set stay time. However, two or more set stay times are provided. be able to. Then, a store for notifying whether the reservation can be made when the first set stay time has arrived, and a notification for whether the reservation can be made when the second set stay time coming after the first set stay time has arrived The stores to be operated can be at least partially different. By doing in this way, appropriate store information can be notified according to the staying time in the store of the user of wireless terminal 2.

  Note that the transmission unit 25 of the control unit 20 notifies the wireless terminal 2 of information indicating that the store information that can be reserved is notified when the set stay time is reached when the wireless terminal 2 enters the store communication area. You can also. By doing in this way, the user of the wireless terminal 2 can grasp that there is an opportunity to know store information that can be reserved immediately after entering the store, and can stay in the store with peace of mind.

  Moreover, the extraction part 24 of the control part 20 can preferentially extract the information of the shop which provides the coupon which can be used in a shop among the information of the shop which can be reserved. By doing in this way, while being able to provide the store information with a merit to the user of the radio | wireless terminal 2, the visit to the next store can be promoted with a coupon.

  For example, when the user selects “Store C” in the state where the store information as shown in FIG. 11A is displayed on the wireless terminal 2, the transmission unit 25 of the control unit 20 uses the “Store C”. Information on coupons that can be sent can be transmitted to the wireless terminal 2. When the information on the coupon is received, the wireless terminal 2 performs a display as shown in FIG. This makes it possible to motivate the user of the wireless terminal 2 to make a reservation from a store that can be reserved.

  When the user of the wireless terminal 2 selects the “Reserve” button while the wireless terminal 2 is displaying as shown in FIG. 11B, for example, the reservation registration as shown in FIG. Information is transmitted from the reservation processing device 4 to the wireless terminal 2. When the information for reservation registration is displayed on the wireless terminal 2, the user of the wireless terminal 2 inputs the number of reservations and the reservation time and selects the “reservation confirmation” button. A reservation request is sent to.

  Notification of store information that can be reserved to the wireless terminals 2 may not be performed for all the wireless terminals 2 but may be performed for some wireless terminals 2. For example, when there is a specific wireless terminal 2, the transmission unit 25 of the control unit 20 can notify the specific wireless terminal 2 of store information that can be reserved.

  For example, information on stores that can be reserved may be notified only to the wireless terminal 2 that has made a reservation to the store where the wireless LAN access point 3 is installed. In this case, for example, based on the past reservation data stored in the storage unit 30, the control unit 20 notifies the store information that can be reserved with the reservation source terminal ID as the specific wireless terminal 2.

  When the process of step S33 ends, or when there is no notification-target wireless terminal 2 (step S31; No), the control unit 20 determines whether there is a reminder-target wireless terminal 2 based on the reservation data. Determination is made (step S34).

  The wireless terminal 2 to be a reminder exists in the store communication area of the reservation source store among the wireless terminals 2 that have made a reservation request based on the store information notified in step S33, and the reservation date and time is approaching. The wireless terminal 2. Based on the reservation date and time set in the reservation data, the calculation unit 27 of the control unit 20 calculates the remaining time until the reservation date and time arrives. Then, when the remaining time until the reservation date and time reaches the set value or less, the transmission unit 25 of the control unit 20 provides a wireless LAN installed in the reservation source store to the wireless terminal 2 that has made the reservation request. Information about the reservation is notified via the access point 3.

  For example, the reservation data is in the state shown in FIG. 7, the current date and time is “2012/4/2 17:30”, and the wireless communication of the terminal ID “205” is in the store communication area corresponding to the store ID “101”. If the terminal 2 exists, it is determined that the wireless terminal 2 is a reminder target. In this example, the reminder is notified 30 minutes before, but it is also possible to change how long the reminder notification is made according to the distance relationship between the reservation source store and the reservation destination store.

  If it is determined that there is a wireless terminal 2 to be reminded (step S34; Yes), the transmission unit 25 of the control unit 20 gives a reminder that the reservation date and time is approaching the wireless terminal 2 to be reminded. Notification is made (step S35). By notifying the reminder in this way, it is possible to prompt the reservation destination store to enter the store on time.

  When the process of step S35 ends, or when it is determined that there is no reminder target wireless terminal 2 (step S34; No), the control unit 20 ends the notification process.

  In addition, the control part 20 can also change the timing which notifies store information, and the timing which notifies a reminder based on the congestion condition in a reservation origin store. For example, when the inside of a store is congested, moving to the next store can be promoted by increasing the timing for notifying store information and reminders.

  The degree of congestion in the store can be determined based on, for example, the number of in-store communication area terminal IDs corresponding to the reservation source store set in the detection terminal data. For example, the control unit 20 determines the degree of congestion in the store based on the number of persons accommodated in each store specified in the store information table and the number of terminal IDs corresponding to each store ID specified in the detection terminal data. To do.

  For example, when the “capacity” of a certain store is 20 and the number of terminal IDs is 20, the control unit 20 determines that the store is congested. Since the number of wireless terminals 2 existing in the store communication area corresponding to the reservation source store can be easily acquired, it is possible to easily determine the degree of congestion. Note that the control unit 20 can also acquire information on the degree of congestion from each store terminal 5.

[8. Action (reservation acceptance process)]
Next, the procedure of the reservation acceptance process in step S23 shown in FIG. 9 will be described. FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the reservation acceptance process shown in FIG. The reservation acceptance process is a process executed when a reservation request from the wireless terminal 2 is received via the wireless LAN access point 3.

  As shown in FIG. 12, when starting the reservation acceptance process, the control unit 20 receives a reservation request via the wireless LAN access point 3 (hereinafter referred to as store information notification AP) of the store that has notified the store information that can be reserved. It is determined whether or not it has been performed (step S40). If a plurality of wireless LAN access points 3 are installed in the store, these wireless LAN access points 3 serve as store information notification APs.

  When it is determined that a reservation request is made via the store information notification AP (step S40; Yes), the control unit 20 determines whether or not a reservation corresponding to the reservation request is possible (step S41). Such a determination is made, for example, so as not to accept a reservation for a store that has become unreservable over time after notifying the wireless terminal 2 of the store information that can be reserved.

  If it is determined that the reservation corresponding to the reservation request is possible (step S41; Yes), the receiving unit 21 of the control unit 20 registers the reservation corresponding to the reservation request (step S42). For example, the “store A” corresponding to the store ID “101” from the wireless terminal 2 with the terminal ID “205” via the wireless LAN access point 3 with the AP-ID “302” installed in the store with the store ID “102”. When a reservation request is made, reservation data is set as shown in FIG. When the reservation corresponding to the reservation request is registered in the reservation data by the reception unit 21, the transmission unit 25 of the control unit 20 notifies the reservation completion to the wireless terminal 2 that has made the reservation request (step S43).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S41 that the reservation corresponding to the reservation request is not possible (step S41; No), the transmission unit 25 of the control unit 20 notifies the wireless terminal 2 that has made the reservation request that the reservation is not possible. (Step S44).

  If it is determined in step S40 that a reservation request is not made via the store information notification AP (step S40; No), the transmission unit 25 of the control unit 20 can make a reservation for the wireless terminal 2 that has made the reservation request. The store information is notified (step S45).

  Specifically, the control unit 20 stores information on stores that can be reserved among reservation target stores corresponding to stores where the wireless LAN access point 3 (hereinafter referred to as “target AP”) that relayed the reservation request is stored. The information of the store is extracted from the reservation data stored in the information and notified to the notification target wireless terminal 2 via the target AP. Such processing is similar to the processing in steps S32 and S33 in the notification processing.

  Thus, when the user of the wireless terminal 2 tries to make a reservation by moving from the store where the store information notification AP is installed to another store, it is considered that time has passed, and the location of the store It may be better to reserve another store from. Therefore, if a reservation request is not made via the store information notification AP, the store information that can be reserved is extracted again and notified. Thereby, more appropriate store information can be notified.

  When the processes of steps S43, S44, and S45 are completed, the control unit 20 ends the reservation receiving process.

[9. Action (Reservation process)
Next, the procedure of the booking certificate issuing process in step S25 shown in FIG. 9 will be described. FIG. 13 is a flowchart of the booking certificate issuing process shown in FIG. Such a booking certificate issuance process is a process executed when a booking certificate issuance request is received from the wireless terminal 2 via a specific wireless LAN access point 3.

  As shown in FIG. 13, when the booking certificate issuance request is started, the accepting unit 21 of the control unit 20 determines whether the booking certificate issuance request has been made via a specific wireless LAN access point 3 (hereinafter referred to as a specific AP). It is determined whether or not (step S50). The specific AP is a reservation source AP or a reservation destination AP. The reservation source AP is the wireless LAN access point 3 from which the wireless terminal 2 that has issued the booking certificate issuance request has made the reservation request, or another wireless LAN access point 3 installed in the same store as the wireless LAN access point 3. is there. The reservation destination AP is a wireless LAN access point 3 installed in a store that is a reservation target of a reservation request made by the wireless terminal 2 that has issued the reservation certificate issuance request.

  If it is determined that the booking certificate issuance request is made via the specific AP (step S50; Yes), the control unit 20 determines whether the booking certificate issuance request satisfies the booking certificate issuance conditions (step S51). For example, the reservation certificate issuance condition may be that the reservation certificate issuance request is before the reservation date and time.

  When the booking certificate issuance request satisfies the booking certificate issuance conditions (step S51; Yes), the transmission unit 25 of the control unit 20 transmits the booking certificate information to the requesting wireless terminal 2 via the specific AP. Then, a booking certificate is issued (step S52).

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S50 that the booking certificate issuance request is not made via the specific AP (step S50; No), or when it is determined that the booking certificate issuance request does not satisfy the booking certificate issuance condition. (Step S51; No), the transmitting unit 25 of the control unit 20 transmits information indicating that the booking certificate cannot be issued to the requesting wireless terminal 2 (Step S53).

  When the processes of steps S52 and S53 are finished, the control unit 20 finishes the booking certificate issuing process. In step S50, when the specific AP is the reservation source AP, the transmission unit 25 of the control unit 20 can add, for example, discount coupon information for visiting the store up to the reservation time to the reservation certificate. Thereby, it is possible to prompt early movement to the reservation destination store.

[10. Action (settlement processing)]
Next, the procedure of the payment process in step S27 shown in FIG. 9 will be described. FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the settlement process shown in FIG. This settlement process is a process executed when a reservation content execution notification is accepted.

  As shown in FIG. 14, when the settlement process is started, the determination unit 28 of the control unit 20 determines the consideration for the reservation destination store side where the reservation content is executed and the consideration for the reservation source store side where the reservation is made, respectively. Determine (step S60).

  The consideration for the reservation destination store is a consideration paid to the reservation processing device 4 side (reservation service provider) by the reservation destination store side where the reservation contents are executed, and the usage fee of the reservation processing device 4 called a reservation fee or an advertisement insertion fee (Hereinafter referred to as system usage fee). The consideration for the reservation source store side is the value received from the reservation processing device 4 side by the reservation source store side where the reservation for which the reservation contents are executed is performed, and is referred to as an affiliate fee here.

  The reservation content execution notification is, for example, a notification indicating that such reservation content has been executed for a reservation made from the wireless terminal 2 via the reservation source AP, and includes reservation number information. The settlement processing unit 26 of the control unit 20 refers to the reservation data stored in the storage unit 30 and determines a reservation source store and a reservation destination store corresponding to the reservation number included in the reservation content execution notification.

  For example, when the reservation number is “10101”, the reservation destination store ID is “101” and the reservation source store ID is “102”. In this case, the settlement processing unit 26 determines that the reservation destination store is “Store A” and the reservation source store is “Store B” based on the store information table (see FIG. 5).

  The determination unit 28 of the control unit 20 determines a part of the system usage fee paid to the reservation service provider by the reservation destination store side where the reservation contents are executed as an affiliate fee received by the reservation source store side. For example, the determination unit 28 can set the system usage fee paid by the reservation destination store side to 200 yen, and the affiliate fee to 100 yen, for example.

  The system usage fee and the affiliate fee determined by the determination unit 28 may be fixed fees, but by using a variable fee, it is possible to further promote economic activity. For example, the determination unit 28 uses a system usage fee that is a predetermined rate (for example, 10%) with respect to a fee for executing the reservation content, and an affiliate fee that has a predetermined rate (for example, 50%) for the system usage fee. (5%) can be determined.

  In this case, the determination unit 28 can easily determine the system usage fee and the affiliate fee by including information on the fee for the execution of the reservation content executed at the reservation destination store in the reservation content execution notification.

  The determination unit 28 may change the system usage fee and the affiliate fee depending on whether the reservation source store and the reservation destination store are stores that constitute the same store group. By doing in this way, the motivation which comprises a store group can be aimed at. For example, the determination unit 28 can promote the use of the reservation service by setting a charge plan that introduces the reservation service in a lump for a shopping district with a large number of stores.

  For example, the determination unit 28 is a case where the amount obtained by subtracting the affiliate fee from the system usage fee is a preset store group rather than a case where the reservation source store and the reservation destination store are not preset store groups. Set to lower. If the system usage fee is 200 yen when the store group is not the same and the affiliate fee is 100 yen, the determination unit 28 sets the system usage fee when the system is the same store group to 150 yen. Further, the affiliate fee for the same store group may be 150 yen.

  The same group can be set, for example, by setting a group name in the store information table, and the determination unit 28 refers to the store information table to determine whether the reservation source store and the reservation destination store are the same store group. Determine.

  When the determination unit 28 determines the consideration, the settlement processing unit 26 performs a settlement process for the system usage fee and the affiliate fee determined by the determination unit 28 (step S61). The settlement process can be performed, for example, by a settlement request to a bank server that manages the bank account of each store, but may be a settlement process using a credit card, for example.

As described above, in the reservation processing device 4 according to the embodiment, the acquisition unit 23 (corresponding to an example of an acquisition unit) acquires information on stores that can be reserved, and the detection unit 22 is installed in a predetermined store. The wireless terminal 2 existing in the communication area of the wireless LAN access point 3 (corresponding to an example of wireless LAN communication means) is detected, and the extracting unit 24 (corresponding to an example of extracting means) installs the wireless LAN access point 3 The information of the store which can be reserved acquired by the acquisition part 23 among the information of the shop linked | related with the shop is extracted, and the transmission part 25 (equivalent to an example of a notification means) is the radio | wireless terminal detected by the detection part 22 2 is notified of the store information extracted by the extraction unit 24 via the wireless LAN access point 3 from which the wireless terminal 2 is detected, and the reception unit 21 (corresponding to an example of a reception unit) If the reservation request from the wireless terminal 2 is performed via a wireless LAN access point 3 for the store extracted by 4, it receives the reservation request.

  As a result, the reservation processing device 4 according to the embodiment detects the wireless terminal 2 in the communication area of the wireless LAN access point 3 and notifies the wireless terminal 2 of information on stores that can be reserved. The second user can obtain information on an appropriate reservable store without inputting a search condition. In addition, the store information can be notified to the user who entered the store, and thus the store information can be effectively notified to the user. In addition, the store where the wireless LAN access point 3 is installed can be used as a customer-side store, and the related store can be used as a customer-collecting store from the customer-side store. It can be provided to the side store side. Thereby, it becomes possible to provide a new affiliate model for the movement of the user on the offline.

  Further, in the reservation processing device 4 according to the embodiment, when the payment processing unit 26 (corresponding to an example of the payment processing means) executes the reservation content specified in the reservation request, the store where the reservation content is executed. A part of the price paid by the store is determined as the price received by the store where the wireless LAN access point 3 is installed, and settlement processing is performed.

  Thereby, in the reservation processing device 4 according to the embodiment, the store where the wireless LAN access point 3 is installed can obtain the price by prompting the user to enter the related store, and the offline user's It will be possible to provide new affiliate models for movement and promote economic activities.

  In the reservation processing device 4 according to the embodiment, the detection unit 22 detects the staying time of the wireless terminal 2 in the communication area of the wireless LAN access point 3, and the transmission unit 25 is detected by the detection unit 22. The store information extracted by the extraction unit 24 is notified to the wireless terminal 2 at a timing corresponding to the staying time of the wireless terminal 2.

  Thereby, in the reservation processing apparatus 4 which concerns on embodiment, it can notify the information of the next store which can be reserved at the timing when a user searches for the next store, and this can improve the reservation possibility of a store. it can. For example, when a user is in a primary party store at a New Year party or a welcome party, by recommending (suggesting) information about the next store at the timing when it is time to decide where to place the secondary party, Reservation possibility for the location of the recommended secondary meeting can be improved.

  Further, in the reservation processing device 4 according to the embodiment, the extraction unit 24 extracts different store information from stores that can be reserved according to the stay time of the wireless terminal 2 detected by the detection unit 22.

  Thereby, in the reservation processing apparatus 4 which concerns on embodiment, the information of a suitable store can be provided according to a user's stay time in a store.

  In the reservation processing device 4 according to the embodiment, the storage unit 30 stores information on a specific wireless terminal 2, the transmission unit 25 detects the wireless terminal 2 by the detection unit 22, and the wireless terminal 2 When the specific wireless terminal 2 is stored in the storage unit 30, the store information extracted by the extraction unit 24 is notified.

  Thereby, in the reservation processing apparatus 4 according to the embodiment, it is possible to notify store information that can be reserved with a narrow focus. That is, the notification destination of the store information that can be reserved is only given to the specific wireless terminal 2, and the store information that can be reserved is not notified to all the wireless terminals 2 existing in the store communication area. Therefore, for example, by setting the wireless terminal 2 of the secretary such as a New Year party or a welcome party as a specific wireless terminal 2, the secretary can reserve the next store without being known by other participants. In addition, it is possible to avoid that the store information that can be reserved is notified all at once to the wireless terminals 2 other than the secretary, and the New Year's party or welcome party is interrupted.

  Further, in the reservation processing device 4 according to the embodiment, the extraction unit 24 preferentially extracts information on a store that provides a coupon that can be used in the store from information on stores that can be reserved.

  Thereby, in the reservation processing apparatus 4 which concerns on embodiment, while being able to provide the shop information with a merit to the user of the radio | wireless terminal 2, the visit to the next shop can be accelerated | stimulated with a coupon.

  In addition, the reservation processing device 4 according to the embodiment is configured so that the calculation unit 27 (corresponding to an example of a calculation unit) remains based on the reservation time included in the reservation request received by the reception unit 21 until the reservation time arrives. The time is calculated, and when the remaining time calculated by the calculation unit 27 is equal to or less than the set value, the transmission unit 25 relates to the reservation via the wireless LAN access point 3 to the wireless terminal 2 that has made the reservation request. Notify information.

  Thereby, in the reservation processing apparatus 4 according to the embodiment, a reminder notification is performed according to the remaining time until the reservation time arrives, and the reservation destination store can be urged to enter the store on time.

  Further, in the reservation processing device 4 according to the embodiment, the acquisition unit 23 acquires information on the congestion level in the store where the wireless LAN access point 3 is installed, and the transmission unit 25 acquires the congestion level acquired by the acquisition unit 23. Based on the information, the timing for transmitting the store information extracted by the extraction unit 24 is changed.

  Thereby, in the reservation processing apparatus 4 according to the embodiment, when the inside of the store is congested, for example, the store information that can be reserved is notified at an early timing, thereby promoting the movement to the next store. Can do.

  In the reservation processing device 4 according to the embodiment, the acquisition unit 23 determines the degree of congestion in the communication area of the wireless LAN access point 3 based on the number of wireless terminals 2 detected by the detection unit 22.

  Thereby, in the reservation processing apparatus 4 which concerns on embodiment, based on the number of the radio | wireless terminals 2 in the shop communication area which can be acquired easily, a congestion condition can be determined easily.

  In addition, the reservation processing device 4 according to the embodiment includes the wireless terminal 2 in which the reception unit 21 (corresponding to an example of a reservation certificate reception unit) makes a reservation request via the wireless LAN access point 3 installed in a predetermined store. When a reservation request is made in response to the reservation request, the reservation request is made via the wireless LAN access point 3 (corresponding to an example of a wireless LAN communication device) installed in the store that is the target of the reservation request. When the reservation request corresponding to the reservation request is made from the wireless terminal 2 that has performed the request, the request for the reservation certificate is received, and the transmission unit 25 (corresponding to an example of a reservation certificate information transmission unit) When the request for the booking certificate is accepted by the terminal 21, the information on the booking certificate is transmitted to the wireless terminal 2 that has requested the booking certificate.

  Thereby, in the reservation processing apparatus 4 according to the embodiment, the reservation certificate can be received only at the reservation source store and the reservation destination store. Therefore, the user of the wireless terminal 2 can easily receive the booking certificate. On the other hand, since it is not possible to receive a booking certificate from the wireless LAN access point 3 that is not related to the reservation, the store related to the reservation is clarified, and the basis for the payment of the affiliate fee can be clarified. Note that a reservation certificate may be received via the wireless LAN access point 3 other than the reservation source store and the reservation destination store.
