Description

  The present invention relates to a vacant seat status information providing system that provides a vacant seat status in a store in response to a request from a user.

  If you wish to eat or drink at a restaurant or pub, you often make a reservation in advance and secure a seat before visiting the store. When eating and drinking at the first store, it is possible to make a reservation easily by searching using a gourmet magazine, the Internet, etc., taking into consideration the desires, time, place, etc. of all participants.

  However, it is difficult to make a reservation in advance because the end time of the primary meeting is unclear at the secondary meeting, etc., and the participants in the secondary meeting are fluid (it will not be confirmed unless they are present). In the past, secondary party stores were secured by methods such as confirming whether or not the participants of the secondary party could take the store and go around each store, or checking whether each store could be placed on the phone. Often to do.

  When such a method is used, it is cumbersome and very inefficient for all the participants of the second party to move. Furthermore, the method of checking whether or not each store can be entered by calling is merely predicting whether or not the store can actually be entered, and it takes time to secure the store. .

  Therefore, a reservation system that provides availability is required. The following patent document 1 exists as such a reservation system.

JP 2001-134682 A

  The system of Patent Document 1 is a reservation system that publishes facility empty information on the Internet at predetermined time intervals and updates it as needed by transmission from the facility side. In the case of such a system that registers facility information in advance, it is necessary to register the facility information even when there is no user interested in the facility. For this reason, all facilities that use the reservation system must register empty information, and useless storage capacity is required to store the information. In addition, unnecessary network traffic occurs because registration from the facility is performed at any time.

  Furthermore, when such a reservation system is used, the facility side must transmit the facility empty information at a predetermined time interval in a designated manner, and such work should be performed during the busy hours of the facility. , It may be very burdensome for the facility. In addition, in order to transmit empty information at a predetermined time interval, it may be necessary to arrange a dedicated store clerk. However, a new cost is required to allocate a dedicated store clerk, which must be an economic burden on the facility side, and the introduction of such a reservation system is unavoidable.

  Accordingly, the present inventors have invented a vacant seat status information providing system that solves the above technical problem.

  1st invention is a vacant seat status information provision system which provides a vacant seat status of a store, and includes location information and time information from a store information storage unit for storing information about the store and a user terminal used by the user.

It is a provider system.

  With the configuration of the present invention, when there is a request from the user (user terminal), it is notified to the store (store terminal), so the store has or is likely to have a vacant seat, and Where available, availability should be provided. By doing so, unnecessary vacant seat status information is not stored, so that storage capacity is saved and network traffic is reduced.

  Further, in the case of the conventional system such as Patent Document 1, it is necessary to input every time the vacant seat status changes, and the burden on the store is large. However, in the present invention, such work is unnecessary, and the burden on the store is reduced. It becomes mitigation. In addition, since it is not necessary to reply when it is full and busy, it is possible to respond to the situation of the store. On the other hand, it is possible for the user to acquire information with immediacy.

  The conceptual diagram of an example of the system configuration | structure of the vacant seat status information provision system 1 of this invention is shown in FIG. An example of a hardware configuration of a computer that realizes the vacant seat status information providing system 1 is shown in FIG. The vacant seat status information providing system 1 can transmit / receive information to / from the user terminal 3 used by the user and the store terminal 4 used by the store.

  The vacant seat status information providing system 1 is realized by a computer such as a server 2. A computer that realizes the vacant seat status information providing system 1 includes an arithmetic device 70 such as a CPU that executes arithmetic processing of a program, a storage device 71 such as a RAM or a hard disk that stores information, a display device 72 such as a display, and a keyboard. And an input device 73 such as a pointing device (mouse, numeric keypad, etc.), and a communication device 74 that transmits and receives processing results of the arithmetic device 70 and information stored in the storage device 71 via a network such as the Internet or a LAN. Yes. Each function (each unit) realized on the computer is executed when a unit (program, module, etc.) for executing the process is read into the arithmetic unit 70. When using the information stored in the storage device 71 in the processing, each function reads the corresponding information from the storage device 71 and uses the read information in the processing in the arithmetic device 70 as appropriate. Further, FIG. 2 shows a case where the vacant seat status information providing system 1 is realized by a single server 2, but the functions may be distributed in a plurality of computers.

  Each means in the present invention is only logically distinguished in function, and may be physically or virtually the same area.

  The user terminal 3 is a computer used by the user, and is preferably a portable communication terminal such as a mobile phone including a smartphone, a PHS, or a tablet computer. The user terminal 3 is preferably provided with a GPS function. The user operates the user terminal 3 to request vacant seat status information, obtains vacant seat status information from the store, and contacts the store with a call or the like. In order to execute these functions, a predetermined application program is activated.

  The store terminal 4 is a computer used by the store, and is preferably a portable communication terminal such as a mobile phone including a smartphone, a PHS, or a tablet computer, but is not limited thereto. The store terminal 4 accepts an input of availability information indicating whether or not it can respond to a request for availability information from the user terminal 3 (a request indicating whether there are empty seats for the number of users specified by the user). Send to providing system 1. In the store terminal 4, a predetermined application program is activated so that a notification that there is a request for availability information from the server 2 in the availability information providing system 1 of the present invention can be received.

  The vacant seat status information providing system 1 includes a store information storage unit 20, a vacant seat status information request reception processing unit 21, a range specifying processing unit 22, a store specifying processing unit 23, a vacant seat status information notification processing unit 24, and a vacant seat status information answer processing unit 25. And have.

  The store information storage unit 20 stores information about stores that use the vacant seat status information providing system 1. For example, store identification information such as a store name and store ID, an address, a telephone number, information indicating a location in map information (for example, latitude and longitude information), a URL of the store website, a restaurant genre, and the like are stored. FIG. 4 schematically shows an example of the store information storage unit 20.

  The vacant seat status information request reception processing unit 21 obtains, from the user terminal 3, a user ID for identifying the user, position information of the user terminal 3, information indicating how many minutes later it is desired to know the vacant seat status, and information on the number of people. Accepts a request for vacant seat status information. At this time, if the user wants to be notified of the business type of the store, for example, the genre of the restaurant (Japanese, Italian, French, Chinese, etc.), the location, and the time when the notification is desired (the effective time of the notification) In addition to search conditions such as information to be displayed, a request to a store may be accepted. Note that the vacant seat status information request reception processing unit 21 may store identification information in association with the request so that the vacant seat status information request can be identified.

  When the range specification processing unit 22 receives the position information of the user terminal 3 and the information indicating how many minutes later the vacant seat status is to be received by the vacant seat state information request reception processing unit 21, Identify the range that can be moved by time. For example, when the user wants to know the vacant seat situation after 10 minutes, the distance that can be moved in 10 minutes is specified centering on the position information. When a predetermined moving means, for example, walking is set at 4 km / h, 4 km × 10 / 60≈667 m / h is specified as the movable distance. That is, a range with a radius of 667 m is specified centering on the position information of the user terminal 3.

  At this time, the input of the moving means can be received from the user terminal 3, and the speed can be changed by the moving means.

  In the above description, the position information of the user terminal 3 is used. However, when information on a desired place is received from the user terminal 3, the range may be specified centering on the place.

  In addition to the movement range centered on the position information, a range from a predetermined location such as an address or the nearest station may be specified. Further, the information indicating the range may not be calculated from the time as described above, but may be input as a search condition such as how many minutes or how many meters.

  The store specification processing unit 23 specifies a store located within the range specified by the range specification processing unit 22 based on the location information of the store stored in the store information storage unit 20. When a store is specified, if a search condition such as the business condition of the store desired by the user is received by the vacant seat status request reception processing unit 21, the store matches the search condition and is located within the range. Specify the store to be.

  The vacant seat status information notification processing unit 24 notifies the store terminal 4 of the store specified by the store specifying processing unit 23 that there is a request for the vacant seat status information received from the user terminal 3. For example, information indicating how many minutes later the seat availability is desired, information on the number of people, store business conditions (such as the genre of food), information indicating the effective time of notifications, requests to the store, identification information of the seat availability information request Is notified to the store terminal 4. The identification information of the vacant seat status information request is information for identifying which user's request is requested, but may be displayed on the store terminal 4. The identification information of the vacant seat status information request may accept input from the user, but it is preferable to automatically give it. By providing this identification information, the user does not have to give out personal information such as a name, and the store side can specify which proposal the user has made, so there is no confusion. As will be described later, a proposal from the store side may be made to the user, and some service such as a full beer service may be given as the proposal. Since this can vary depending on the user, it is necessary to specify the user also on the store side. Therefore, by providing identification information as described above, it is possible to prevent mistakes in the user or service.

  The vacant seat status information answer processing unit 25 receives vacant seat status information from the store in response to the notification of the vacant seat status information request notified by the vacant seat status information notification processing unit 24, and sends it to the user terminal 3. . The vacant seat status information may include store identification information, message information from the store, and vacancy status information request identification information indicating which vacant seat status information request is the answer.

  Next, an example of a processing process of the vacant seat status information providing system 1 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, although the following description demonstrates the case where a store is a restaurant, this invention is not limited to it.

  A user who is looking for a restaurant makes a request for availability information by performing a predetermined operation on the user terminal 3 (S100). That is, by performing a predetermined operation on the user terminal 3, a screen as shown in FIG. 5 is displayed, information indicating how many minutes later it is desired to know the seat availability, information on the number of people, information on the genre of the desired dish Then, by inputting a search condition such as information indicating the valid time of notification and selecting “Send”, the GPS function of the user terminal 3 is activated, and its position information is acquired. Other search conditions may include the desired restaurant location, non-smoking / smoking distinction, and price range. For example, in the case of FIG. 5, the search conditions are “vacant seat status after 10 minutes”, “6 people”, “Japanese food”, and “20:10”. Moreover, you may input the information of the request to a store.

  It should be noted that the search condition may be input after the GPS function is first activated and the position information is acquired.

  The acquired position information, user identification information, and search conditions are sent from the user terminal 3 to the server 2 as a vacancy status information request. The vacancy status information request reception processing unit 21 of the server 2 receives the vacancy status information request sent from the user terminal 3. (S110). At this time, identification information for identifying the vacancy information request may be added.

  When the vacant seat status information request is received, the range identification processing unit 22 focuses on the location information of the user terminal 3 based on the location information of the user terminal 3 and information indicating how many minutes later the vacant seat status is to be known. , The movable distance in the time information is specified (S120). For example, assume that the movable distance is specified as 667 m.

  When the movable distance is specified, the store specifying processor 23 specifies a restaurant within the range of the movable distance with the position information of the user terminal 3 as the center (S130). At this time, it is preferable to search for restaurants based on the search condition in the vacancy information request received from the user terminal 3 in S110. That is, the restaurant is a restaurant within a range of 667 m centering on the position information of the user terminal 3, and the restaurant whose genre is Japanese is specified. It is assumed that the store information storage unit 20 is FIG. 6 and the identified restaurants are “A store” and “C store”.

  The vacant seat status information notification processing unit 24 notifies part or all of the vacant seat status information request received from the user terminal 3 to the restaurant terminal 4 of the restaurant specified in S130 (S140). For example, information indicating how many minutes later the seat availability is to be known (“after 10 minutes”), information on the number of people (“6 people”), information on the genre of cooking (“Japanese food”), information on the effective time of notification ( “20:10”), the store terminal 4 is notified of the request to the store and the identification information of the vacant seat status information request.

  The store terminal 4 of the restaurant (store terminal 4 of store A and store C) accepts the notification sent in S140 (S150), and displays the notification on the store terminal 4 (S160). An example of the screen displayed on the store terminal 4 at this time is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, the restaurant can identify the user by displaying the identification information of the vacancy information request on the screen.

  If the seat availability status is not to be replied, the display can be turned off by selecting “Do not reply”. On the other hand, in the case of replying, the reply expiration date (valid time), information on the message from the restaurant are input, and “reply” is selected. An example of the input state is shown in FIG. Thus, the vacancy information including the identification information of the restaurant, the expiration date of the reply, the information of the message from the restaurant, the identification information of the vacancy status information request indicating which vacancy status information request is the response, etc. The data is sent from the terminal 4 to the server 2 (S170).

  When the vacant seat status information response processing unit 25 receives the vacant seat status information from the store terminal 4 (S180), the vacant seat status information answer processing unit 25, based on the identification information of the vacant seat status information request in the vacant seat status information, The vacant seat status information request corresponding to is specified, and the vacant seat status information is sent to the user terminal 3 of the user who sent the vacant seat status information request (S190).

  The user terminal 3 receives the vacant seat status information of each restaurant sent from the server 2 (S200), and confirms it by displaying it on the user terminal 3. An example of the screen at this time is shown in FIG. This screen is preferably updated anew each time the user terminal 3 receives the notification of vacant seat status information in S200. Note that the user may be able to set the update notification to be switched off. By setting the notification to OFF, it can be set not to receive subsequent notifications.

  In addition, by selecting “To Map” on the screen of FIG. 8, as shown in FIG. 9, the map information displaying the location of the store that received the notification is displayed centering on the position where the user is currently located. The This is because the location information of the restaurant that received the notification in the vacant seat status information response processing unit 25 is extracted from the store information storage unit 20, and the location centered on the current location of the user (location information acquired in S110). At the center, the map information displaying the location information of each store is displayed. In addition to the position information acquired in S110, information on the current position of the user may be newly acquired and the position information may be used as the center.

  When browsing information on a restaurant desired by the user, for example, by selecting “Browse the website” on the screen of FIG. 8 or by selecting the restaurant on the map of the screen of FIG. A browsing request for the website of the restaurant is sent from the user terminal 3 to a predetermined server 2, for example, the web server 2 that provides restaurant information, and the website of the restaurant is displayed on the user terminal 3. An example of the displayed restaurant website is shown in FIG.

  By selecting “Call” from the application software of the user terminal 3 or the restaurant website of the restaurant, the user terminal 3 can make a call directly to the restaurant. As a result, communication can be directly performed between the user and the restaurant, and information can be confirmed. And if a user is good at the restaurant, he can make a reservation as it is.

  As another embodiment of the vacant seat status information providing system 1, the following configuration can be adopted.

  In the application program of the store terminal 4, when a notification that there is a request for availability information from the server 2 is received, it may be notified to the user of the store terminal 4 by sound or vibration.

  When the position information is acquired by the GPS function, the range specified by the range specifying processing unit 22 may be changeable based on the position information. For example, if the location information is latitude / longitude information indicating Shinjuku 3-chome, Shinjuku-ku, specify Shinjuku 3-chome as a range, and the location information is latitude / longitude information indicating Nakano 4-chome, Nakano-ku Alternatively, the range from Nakano 1-chome to Nakano 6-chome may be set as the range specified by the range specification processing unit 22. With such a configuration, for example, the area specified by the range specifying processor 22 is narrowed for areas with many restaurants, and the area specified by the area specifying processor 22 is widened for areas with few restaurants. It becomes possible to judge. The association between the position information and the range to be specified may be stored in the range specification processing unit 22. Further, the user may be able to set the association between the position information and the specified range.

  Further, the position information is acquired by the GPS function, but the position information as the search condition may be obtained by other methods, for example, by receiving input of information such as a place name, an address, and the nearest station from the user. In this case, the range specifying processing unit 22 specifies a range centered on the position information. In addition, when information such as a place name, an address, and the nearest station is received as position information as a search condition, the range is not specified (the processing in the range specifying processing unit 22 is not performed) and is associated with the position information. It is also possible to specify the store that is present. For example, if the desired location of the store is Ginza, input may be accepted using “Ginza” as a search condition, and the store associated with Ginza may be specified.

  In the store terminal 4, it is preferable to start an application program for receiving notification that there is a request for vacant seat status information from the server 2 during business hours, but the application program is started if necessary. You do not have to leave it. For example, when the restaurant is busy, it may not be activated. It is because it is not necessary to receive notification by not starting.

  Further, when the request for the vacant seat status information notified from the server 2 to the store terminal 4 cannot be notified at the store terminal 4 because the application program is not activated, the vacant seat status information notification processing unit 24 of the server 2 is notified. May be temporarily stored, and a notification may be sent when the notification is ready, such as when an application program of the store terminal 4 is activated. Note that the notification in this case is different from the normal vacancy status information request notification, and only indicates that there was a notification. For example, the store may not be able to input the number of people or the send button will not be displayed. It is preferable that a reply from the terminal 4 cannot be made. This is because when the reply is made, the user is notified although the time has elapsed since the notification, which is troublesome for the user. However, since such notification can be received at the store terminal 4, if there are many notifications, it leads to motivation to use the vacant seat status information providing system 1, which is beneficial for the store.

  If the notification cannot be made because the application program is not activated, the notification may be discarded as it is rather than temporarily stored.

  By using the present invention, when there is a request from the user, the store only has to register vacant seat status information, so that useless storage capacity is not consumed and useless network traffic does not occur.

  Furthermore, since the vacant seat status information may be registered as necessary for the store, the burden is reduced.
