The recruiter inputs the search condition and inputs an instruction indicating an image displayed as “Search” below the input field, whereby the recruiting apparatus 2a accesses the management support apparatus 1. Based on the user ID (friend) recorded in the friend table 11f associated with the user ID of the recruiter, the management support apparatus 1 satisfies the condition from the user table 11a of the user registered as a friend. The user is extracted, and the extracted user information is transmitted to the recruiting apparatus 2a. Below the search condition input field shown in FIG. 15, candidate user IDs and display names extracted by the management support apparatus 1 as corresponding to the search condition are displayed as a list. The recruiter can select a candidate to be invited to participate in the event from the candidates displayed as a list by designating an image indicated as “add”. When selecting all extracted candidates, an input indicating an image indicated as “add all” is performed.

  FIG. 16 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of an image displayed on the terminal device 2 (recruitment device 2a) used in the participation management system described in the present application. FIG. 16 shows an image based on the candidate information request displayed in step S208 of the recruitment process shown in FIG. In the image, a word “select friend” is displayed at the top, and a display indicating that the tab “group” has been selected is displayed below. The image shown in FIG. 16 is an image displayed when a user who is registered as a group is extracted from users registered in advance in the friend table 11f. The recruiting device 2a accesses the management support device 1 by performing input for selecting a group. The management support apparatus 1 extracts users registered as a group selected in advance from the user IDs (friends) recorded in the friend table 11f associated with the user ID of the recruiter, and the extracted users Is sent to the recruiting apparatus 2a. Below the group selection column shown in FIG. 16, candidate user IDs and display names extracted by the management support apparatus 1 as being registered in the selected group are displayed as a list. The recruiter can select a candidate to be invited to participate in the event from the candidates displayed as a list by designating an image indicated as “add”. When selecting all extracted candidates, an input indicating an image indicated as “add all” is performed.

  FIG. 17 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of an image displayed on the terminal device 2 (recruitment device 2a) used in the participation management system described in the present application. FIG. 17 shows an image based on the candidate information request displayed in step S208 of the recruitment process shown in FIG. In the image, the word “select friend” is displayed at the top, and a display indicating that the tab “direct input” is selected below is displayed. The image shown in FIG. 17 is an image displayed when a person who is not registered as a user is allowed to participate in the recruitment service provided by the management support apparatus 1, and an input field for entering a name (name) is shown. Has been. The recruiter can register as a participant by inputting the name (or display name) of the person to participate in the input field and instructing an image indicated as “add”. Note that candidates registered through direct input are processed as participants whose participation has been confirmed.

  FIG. 18 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of an image displayed on the terminal device 2 (recruitment device 2a) used in the participation management system described in the present application. FIG. 18 shows an image based on the candidate information request displayed in step S208 of the recruitment process shown in FIG. In the image, a word “select friend” is displayed at the top, and a display indicating that the tab “selected” is selected below is displayed. The image shown in FIG. 18 is an image for confirming the selected candidate, and the users of the candidates (including the directly input participants) selected in “List”, “Group”, and “Direct input”. A list of IDs and display names is displayed. In addition, since the user ID is not given, the participant input directly is displayed as “guest”. The recruiter completes the input of the candidate by making an input indicating an image displayed as “completed” below the list.

  Returning to the flowchart of FIG. 13, the control unit 20 of the recruiting apparatus 2a accepts input of candidate information indicating a candidate who is a candidate for participation in the event in the input display unit 25 (S209), and the accepted candidate Information is transmitted from the communication unit 23 to the management support apparatus 1 via the communication network NW (S210). The candidates received in step S209 and indicated by the candidate information transmitted in step S210 include registered users who have been given user IDs and unregistered users.

  The control part 10 of the management assistance apparatus 1 receives candidate information in the communication part 13, and performs the lower limit determination process of the number of candidates which the received candidate information shows (S211). The lower limit determination process is a process of determining whether or not the number of candidates indicated in the candidate information is equal to or greater than the lower limit number recorded in the event table 11b, and the number of candidates is less than the lower limit number. In this case, since the event is not established even if all candidates participate, it is determined that the candidate cannot be confirmed. When it is determined by the lower limit determination process that the number of candidates is less than the lower limit number, the control unit 10 retransmits the candidate information request to request re-input to the recruiting apparatus 2a.

  After the lower limit determination process, the control unit 10 performs an upper limit determination process for the number of candidates indicated by the candidate information (S212). The upper limit determination process is a process for determining whether or not the number of unregistered persons indicated in the candidate information is equal to or less than the upper limit number recorded in the event table 11b, and only for unregistered persons who are assumed to participate. If the upper limit is exceeded, it is determined that the candidate cannot be confirmed. When it is determined by the upper limit determination process that the number of unregistered persons exceeds the upper limit number, the control unit 10 retransmits the candidate information request to request re-input to the recruiting apparatus 2a.

  After the lower limit determination process and the upper limit determination process, the control unit 10 transmits confirmation screen information from the communication unit 13 to the recruiting apparatus 2a via the communication network NW so as to request confirmation of the candidate (S213).

  The control unit 20 of the recruiting apparatus 2a receives the confirmed screen information at the communication unit 23, and displays an image based on the received confirmed screen information on the input display unit 25 (S214).

  FIG. 19 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of an image displayed on the terminal device 2 (recruitment device 2a) used in the participation management system described in the present application. FIG. 19 shows an image based on the confirmation screen information displayed in step S214 of the recruiting process shown in FIG. Note that the image shown on the right side of FIG. 19 is displayed by scrolling the image shown on the left side of FIG. 19 downward. In the image, the word “Confirmation of invitation creation” is shown at the top, and below it is the deadline for reply (recruitment end time), title, date and start time (start date and time), location, approximate price ( A list of information indicating the recruitment contents recorded in the event table 11b is displayed for each item such as price), minimum number of people (lower limit number of people), maximum number of people (upper limit number of people), remarks, and participants (candidates). The recruiter confirms the contents displayed in the list, changes the candidate (friend), inputs the instruction indicating the image "change friend", and confirms the recruitment content, "complete" An input indicating the image indicated as "is performed. Note that the event itself can be corrected or canceled by performing a predetermined operation.

  Returning to the flowchart of FIG. 13, the control unit 20 of the recruiting apparatus 2a receives an input of a confirmation instruction for confirming the recruitment content from the input display unit 25 (S215), and sends a confirmation instruction for confirming the content to the communication unit. 23 to the management support apparatus 1 via the communication network NW (S216). If an input for changing a friend is accepted, the process returns to step S208, and the subsequent processing is repeated. When correcting the event itself, the process returns to step S202, and the subsequent processing is repeated.

  The control unit 10 of the management support apparatus 1 receives the confirmation instruction at the communication unit 13, confirms the candidate information, and records it in the candidate table 11c (S217). The candidate information is recorded in the candidate table 11c in association with the event ID. At this stage, since none of the candidates has answered to the recruitment, the user IDs of all registered candidates are recorded in the user ID (candidate), and the user ID (participant) is the user ID. Is not recorded. For unregistered persons who are input as direct input, the input name is recorded in the external user name. At this stage, information indicating unanswered is recorded in the reply flag.

  And the control part 10 transmits the recruitment information which recruits participation in an event from the communication part 23 with respect to the candidate shown by user ID recorded as user ID (candidate) (S218). The recruitment information is transmitted by e-mail to the e-mail address recorded in the user table 11a. The recruitment information transmitted as an e-mail may be the recruitment content itself, or instruction information such as a URL (Universal Resource Locator) that designates a location on the communication network NW to guide the solicitation of the recruitment content. It may be.

  FIG. 20 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of an image displayed on the terminal device 2 (candidate device 2b) used in the participation management system described in the present application. FIG. 20 shows an image displayed based on the recruitment information transmitted in step S218 of the recruitment process shown in FIG. Note that the image shown on the right side of FIG. 20 is displayed by scrolling the image shown on the left side of FIG. 20 downward. FIG. 20 shows a displayed image after performing login processing based on the instruction information shown in the e-mail received as the recruitment information. When the candidate logs in using the candidate apparatus 2b, the input display unit 25 first displays the recruitment contents of a plurality of events as a list, and inputs an instruction for the desired recruitment contents. By doing so, the image shown in FIG. 20 is displayed as information indicating the contents of recruitment.

  In the image shown in FIG. 20, the word “inviting” is shown at the top, and below it is an explanation such as “you can reply to the invitation” and “participation”, “hold” and “ An image showing the content of the reply “not accepted” is displayed. Below that, "Recruiter" indicating the contents of the event being recruited, reply deadline (deadline for recruitment), title, date and start time (start date and time), location, approximate price (price), minimum A list of information indicating the recruitment contents recorded in the event table 11b is displayed for each item such as the number of people (lower limit number of people), the maximum number of people (upper limit number of people), and remarks. Furthermore, information related to the candidate recorded in the candidate table 11c such as “participation”, “undecided”, “rejection” and the like indicating the display name and answer status of the participant (candidate) is displayed below that. Yes. The candidate confirms the displayed content and can make an answer to the recruitment by inputting an image indicating any one of “participation”, “hold”, and “reject”.

  As described above, the recruitment process for setting an event, selecting candidates, and recruiting participants is executed.

  FIG. 21 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of an image displayed on the terminal device 2 (recruitment device 2a) used in the participation management system of the present invention. Note that the image shown on the right side of FIG. 21 is displayed by scrolling the image shown on the left side of FIG. 21 downward. After the recruitment process is completed, the recruiter can display a list of a plurality of solicited events by logging in using the recruitment apparatus 2a, and inputs an instruction for the desired recruitment content. Thus, the application status for the recruitment can be confirmed by the image illustrated in FIG.

  In the image shown in FIG. 21, the word “inviting” is displayed at the top, and an image showing an explanation such as “You can confirm or cancel the invitation” is displayed below it. Below that, there is a reply deadline (recruitment deadline) indicating the contents of the event being recruited, title, date and start time (start date and time), location, approximate price (price), minimum number of people (minimum number of people) A list of information indicating the contents of recruitment recorded in the event table 11b is displayed for each item such as the maximum number of people (upper limit number of people) and remarks. Furthermore, information related to the candidate recorded in the candidate table 11c such as “participation”, “undecided”, “rejection” and the like indicating the display name and answer status of the participant (candidate) is displayed below that. Yes. From the image page, in addition to confirming and canceling the recruitment, it is possible to further add candidates. When adding recruitment, processing such as candidate information input acceptance performed in the recruitment processing is executed.

  FIG. 22 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a response transmission process of the terminal device 2 (candidate device 2b) used in the participation management system described in the present application. When the user who has confirmed the image illustrated in FIG. 20 displayed on the candidate device 2b makes a reply to the recruitment, the candidate device 2b executes a reply process. The control unit 20 of the candidate device 2b accepts input of answer information indicating any one of “participation”, “hold”, and “reject” from the input display unit 25 (S301), and communicates the received answer information. The data is transmitted from the unit 23 to the management support apparatus 1 via the communication network NW (S302). The transmitted response information includes an event ID indicating an event to be answered and information indicating a response in association with the candidate user ID.

  As described above, the response transmission process for transmitting the candidate's response is executed.

  FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing an example of an answer recording process of the management support apparatus 1 used in the participation management system described in the present application. When the management support apparatus 1 receives the response information transmitted from the candidate apparatus 2b, the management support apparatus 1 executes an answer recording process. The management support apparatus 1 receives the response information in the communication unit 13 by the processing of the control unit 10 that executes the management support program PG (S401), and records the response indicated in the received response information in the candidate table 11c. An answer recording process is executed (S402). In step S402, the reply flag indicated by the answer is recorded in association with the user ID indicated by the answer information in the candidate table 11c specified by the event ID indicated by the received answer information. When the answer is “participation”, the user ID of the candidate is recorded as the user ID (participant).

  The control unit 10 records the received answer to determine whether or not it is impossible to reach the lower limit number of persons (S403). The impossibility determination process in step S403 determines whether the sum of the number of unanswered persons and the number of participants is less than the lower limit number recorded in the event table 11b, and is less than the lower limit number. This is a process for determining that it is determined that it is impossible to reach the lower limit number of persons, even if all unanswered persons have participated, not reaching the lower limit number of persons.

  If it is determined in step S403 that the lower limit number can be reached (S403: NO), the control unit 10 determines whether the number of participants has reached the upper limit number recorded in the event table 11b. Determine (S404).

  If it is determined in step S404 that the number of participants has reached the upper limit number (S404: YES), the control unit 10 executes a participant determination process (S405), and transmits the recruitment result information indicating the recruitment result to the communication unit. 13 to the terminal device 2 via the communication network NW (S406). In step S405, the participant confirmation process accesses the candidate table 11c, records “non-participation” in the reply flag corresponding to the unanswered or pending user ID (candidate), and ends acceptance of the response to the event It is a process to make. In step S406, the recruitment result is sent to the recruiter and the candidate by e-mail to the mail address recorded in the user table 11a. In addition, by registering the golf course mail address as “place” in the event table 11b, the confirmed result can be transmitted to the golf course and the reservation can be confirmed.

  If it is determined in step S403 that it is impossible to reach the lower limit number of people (S403: YES), the control unit 10 executes event cancellation processing (S407), and indicates that the event has been canceled. Is transmitted from the communication unit 13 to the terminal device 2 via the communication network NW (S408). The event cancellation process in step S407 is a process of accessing the candidate table 11c, recording “non-participation” in the reply flags corresponding to all user IDs (candidates), and terminating acceptance of responses to the event. . In the event cancellation process, even if the reply flag is “participation”, it is updated to “non-participation”. In step S408, the cancellation information is transmitted to the recruiters and candidates by e-mail to the e-mail address recorded in the user table 11a.

  If it is determined in step S404 that the number of participants has not reached the upper limit number (S404: NO), the answer recording process is terminated and the next answer information is awaiting reception.

  As described above, the answer recording process is executed as a process when the answer information is received.

  FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing an example of the first non-participation process of the management support apparatus 1 used in the participation management system described in the present application. The first non-participation process is a process that is performed by the management support apparatus 1 after the recruitment process is performed, and is a process in which a candidate whose event is in the avoidance period is excluded from participation. The management support apparatus 1 accesses the candidate table 11c and the avoidance time table 11e under the control of the control unit 10 that executes the management support program PG, and indicates the user ID (candidate) recorded in the candidate table 11c. Information indicating the avoidance time recorded in the avoidance time table 11e is acquired (S501).

  Furthermore, the control unit 10 accesses the event table 11b and the candidate table 11c, and the start date (participation time) for the event recorded in the event table 11b is the user ID (candidate) of the candidate corresponding to the acquired avoidance time. The reply flag corresponding to the person) is made non-participating (S502). As described above, the first non-participation process is a process in which a candidate whose start date and time (participation time) for an event recorded in the event table 11b corresponds to the avoidance time recorded in the time table is not participated.

  As described above, the first non-participation process is executed. The first non-participation process may be executed after the candidate information is recorded in step S217 of the recruitment process described with reference to FIG. 13 instead of being performed after the implementation of the recruitment process. Recruitment information is not sent to candidates who fall under this category and are not participating. With the first non-participation process, the attendance of candidates who fall under the avoidance period is automatically confirmed as non-participation, so the convenience of the candidate can be improved and the candidate does not need to answer It is possible to determine whether or not to participate early.

  FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing an example of the second non-participation process of the management support apparatus 1 used in the participation management system described in the present application. The second non-participation process is a process that is repeatedly performed periodically by the management support apparatus 1 after the recruitment process is performed, and is a process that makes a candidate who does not answer for a registered period or more non-participation. The management support apparatus 1 accesses the event table 11b and the candidate table 11c under the control of the control unit 10 that executes the management support program PG, and extracts the user IDs of unanswered candidates for each event (S601). In step S601, a candidate who has not received answer information for recruitment and a candidate who has received answer information but whose answer content is “pending” are extracted as unanswered persons.

  Based on the extracted user ID of each unanswered person, the control unit 10 accesses the answer period table 11d and acquires information indicating the answer period recorded in the answer period table 11d (S602).

  Further, the control unit 10 determines whether or not the answer period recorded in the answer period table 11d has passed for candidates who have not received answer information (S603). The reply period is a period from the start time set as appropriate, such as when the candidate browses the recruitment information or when the recruitment information is transmitted, and is set for each candidate.

  If it is determined in step S603 that the answer period has elapsed (S603: YES), the control unit 10 executes a non-participation process in which the answer from the candidate for which the answer period has elapsed is made non-participating (S604). In step S604, the control unit 10 accesses the candidate table 11c as the non-participation process, and makes the reply flag corresponding to the user ID (candidate) of the candidate that is the target of the non-participation process non-participation. In addition, when the non-participation process of step S604 is performed, the control part 10 performs the process of steps S403-S406 of the answer recording process demonstrated using FIG. 23 continuously.

  If it is determined in step S603 that the answer period has not elapsed (S603: NO), the control unit 10 ends the process for the candidate. The processing in steps S602 to S604 is executed for all unanswered candidates extracted in step S601.

  As described above, the second non-participation process is executed. Due to the second non-participation process, the attendance of candidates who have not responded to recruitment is automatically confirmed as non-participation, so the convenience of the candidate can be improved, and the candidate does not answer It is possible to confirm whether or not to participate.

  FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing an example of the recruitment end process of the management support apparatus 1 used in the participation management system described in the present application. The recruitment end process is a process that is periodically and repeatedly performed by the management support apparatus 1 after the recruitment process is performed, and is a process that is performed for an event that has reached the recruitment end time. The management support apparatus 1 accesses the event table 11b under the control of the control unit 10 that executes the management support program PG, acquires information indicating the recruitment end time for the event (S701), and has reached the recruitment end time. It is determined whether or not (S702).

  When it is determined in step S702 that the recruitment end time has been reached (S702: YES), the control unit 10 accesses the event table 11b and the candidate table 11c, and the number of participating candidates, that is, participation. It is determined whether or not the number of persons is equal to or greater than the lower limit number (S703).

  If it is determined in step S703 that the number of participants is equal to or greater than the lower limit number (S703: YES), the control unit 10 executes a participant determination process (S704), and receives recruitment result information indicating the recruitment result from the communication unit 13. It transmits to the terminal device 2 via the communication network NW (S705). In step S704, the participant confirmation process accesses the candidate table 11c, records “non-participation” in the reply flag corresponding to the unanswered or pending user ID (candidate), and finishes accepting the response to the event It is a process to make. In step S705, the recruitment result is sent to the recruiter and the candidate by e-mail to the e-mail address recorded in the user table 11a.

  If it is determined in step S703 that the number of participants is less than the lower limit number (S703: NO), the control unit 10 executes event cancellation processing (S706), and communicates cancellation information indicating that the event has been canceled. The data is transmitted from the unit 13 to the terminal device 2 via the communication network NW (S707). The event cancellation process in step S706 is a process of accessing the candidate table 11c, recording “non-participation” in the reply flags corresponding to all user IDs (candidates), and terminating acceptance of responses to the event. . In the event cancellation process, even if the reply flag is “participation”, it is updated to “non-participation”. In step S707, the cancellation information is transmitted to the recruiters and candidates by e-mail to the e-mail address recorded in the user table 11a.

  If it is determined in step S702 that the recruitment end time has not been reached (S702: NO), the recruitment end process is terminated.

  The recruitment end process is executed as described above.

  FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing an example of the early termination instruction process of the recruiting apparatus 2a used in the participation management system described in the present application. The early termination instruction process is a process in which the recruiter terminates the recruitment when the number of participants for the event has not reached the upper limit and the recruitment end time has not been reached. For example, from the image shown in FIG. The process is executed by inputting “confirm” or “stop”.

  The control unit 20 of the recruiting apparatus 2a receives an input of an early termination instruction for confirmation or cancellation at the input display unit 25 (S801), and communicates early termination instruction information indicating the content of the accepted early termination instruction from the communication unit 23. It transmits to the management support apparatus 1 via the network NW (S802). The transmitted early termination instruction information includes information such as an event ID to be terminated. As described above, the early termination instruction process is executed.

  FIG. 28 is a flowchart showing an example of the early termination process of the management support apparatus 1 used in the participation management system described in the present application. The early termination process is a process executed when the management support apparatus 1 receives early termination instruction information. The management support apparatus 1 receives the early termination instruction information in the communication unit 13 under the control of the control unit 10 that executes the management support program PG (S901).

  The control unit 10 accesses the event table 11b and the candidate table 11c based on the event ID indicated by the received early termination instruction information, and whether the number of participants is equal to or more than the lower limit for the event to be terminated. It is determined whether or not (S902).

  If it is determined in step S902 that the number of participants is equal to or greater than the lower limit number (S902: YES), the control unit 10 determines whether the received early termination instruction is a process of instructing “confirmation” (S903). ).

  If it is determined in step S903 that the instruction is a confirmation instruction (S903: YES), the control unit 10 executes a participant confirmation process (S904), and sends recruitment result information indicating the recruitment result from the communication unit 13 to the communication network NW. Then, the data is transmitted to the terminal device 2 (S905). In step S904, the participant determination process accesses the candidate table 11c, records “non-participation” in the reply flag corresponding to the unanswered or pending user ID (candidate), and finishes accepting the response to the event It is a process to make. In step S905, the recruitment result is sent to the recruiter and the candidate by e-mail to the e-mail address recorded in the user table 11a.

  When it is determined in step S902 that the number of participants is less than the lower limit number (S902: NO), or in step S903, it is determined that the instruction is not final but a cancellation instruction (S903: NO), the control unit 10 Cancel processing is executed (S906), and cancel information indicating that the event has been canceled is transmitted from the communication unit 13 to the terminal device 2 via the communication network NW (S907). The event cancellation process in step S906 is a process of accessing the candidate table 11c, recording “non-participation” in the reply flags corresponding to all user IDs (candidates), and terminating acceptance of responses to the event. . In the event cancellation process, even if the reply flag is “participation”, it is updated to “non-participation”. In step S907, the cancellation information is transmitted to the recruiters and candidates by e-mail to the e-mail address recorded in the user table 11a.

  As described above, the early termination process is executed. By executing the early termination instruction process and the early termination process in this way, it is possible to determine whether or not to participate even when all candidates have not answered the recruitment. Even if the number of participants is below the lower limit, it is possible to design appropriately such as adding a procedure that can hold an event.

  In the above embodiment, one of the users has used the terminal device as a recruiter. However, a service entity that plans various events (events) uses the terminal device as a solicitor and recruits for events. It is also possible to do this. For example, a service entity that manages a golf course or a service entity that receives a request from a golf course manager can recruit participants for the event as sale information that can be played at low cost. is there. If a service entity solicits participation in an event, it will not become a participant. In addition, when a service entity recruits participants as sales information, for example, it may register multiple pairs of events such as a set of four, a pair of two, etc., and recruit participants for each set. Is possible. On the other hand, a user who is a candidate for participation in an event recruited by a service entity can also apply alone, and further, provisionally reserve one of the recruited multiple sets. It is also possible to convert the provisionally reserved event into an event that it recruits, and conduct a diversion solicitation for participation.

  Such a diversion recruitment process will be described. FIG. 29 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a conversion recruitment process for the management support apparatus 1 and the terminal apparatus 2 (service business entity / user) used in the participation management system described in the present application. In the description of the diversion recruitment process, the terminal device 2 used by the service entity will be described as the first terminal device 2c, and the terminal device 2 used by the user will be described as the second terminal device 2d.

  The control unit 20 of the first terminal device 2c transmits event information and candidate information as sale information from the communication unit 23 to the management support apparatus 1 via the communication network NW (S1101). The event information as the sale information transmitted in step S1101 includes sale master information and individual sale information that define a plurality of sets of events. Since candidate information is widely recruited, all users will be selected as candidates. For example, “Ladies' Day” for female users only, “Senior Day” for users older than a certain age, etc. It is also possible to set conditions such as “”.

  The management support apparatus 1 receives event information and candidate information at the communication unit 13 under the control of the control unit 10 that executes the management support program PG, and records the received event information and candidate information in the recording unit 11. (S1102). The recording process in step S1102 may record the event information and candidate information in the event table 11b and the candidate table 11c as in the case where one of the users is a recruiter, but is included in the event information. The sale master information, the individual sale information, and the candidate information may be recorded in the sale master, the sale table, and the notification table, respectively.

  FIG. 30 is an explanatory diagram conceptually illustrating an example of recorded contents of various tables included in the management support apparatus 1 described in the present application. FIG. 30 is a table that records event information and candidate information related to sale information. FIG. 30A is a sale master, FIG. 30B is a sale table, and FIG. 30C is an announcement table. Is shown.

  The sale master shown in FIG. 30 (a) is a table that records the conditions of events that are the targets of a sale specified as sale information. In the sale master, various items such as a master ID, title, remarks, lunch flag, cart flag, caddy flag, two-sum guarantee flag, and up fee are set.

  “Master ID” is identification information for identifying a sale master, and a code string is assigned to each sale master. “Title” is a name given to a sale specified as sale information, and “Remarks” is information appropriately set for the sale.

  The “lunch flag”, “cart flag”, “caddy flag”, “2-sum guarantee flag”, and “up fee” are items in which specific conditions of events are set. For example, in the items of “lunch flag”, “cart flag”, and “caddy flag”, flag information indicating the presence and class of services such as lunch, cart, and caddy is recorded. In addition, in the item of “two-sum guarantee flag”, for example, flag information indicating whether or not a group of four people can participate in a pair of four people is recorded. In the item, information indicating an additional fee when two persons participate as one set is recorded.

  The sale table shown in FIG. 30B is a table that defines individual events that are targets of a sale that is defined as sale information recorded in the sale master. In the sale table, various items such as a sale ID, a master ID, a start date / time, a recruitment end time, a start date / time, and a remark are set, and a record including data associated with the various items is recorded for each event.

  “Sale ID” is identification information for identifying individual events that are targets of a sale specified as sale information. “Master ID” corresponds to the master ID recorded in the sale master, and the item in the sale table indicates the sale master that is the basis of the event.

  “Start date / time” is the information indicating the date and time when the recruitment for the event starts, “Recruitment end time” is the information indicating the time when the event solicitation period ends, and “Start date / time” is the start date and time of the event Yes.

  “Remarks” is information appropriately set for the sale, and corresponds to the information in the remarks column recorded in the sale master.

  The notification table shown in FIG. 30 (c) is a table that records candidate information, and records candidates as candidates for recruitment for events as notification destinations. Various items such as a notification ID, a sale ID, a notification date and time, and a user ID (candidate) are set in the notification table, and a record including data associated with the various items is recorded for each event.

  “Notification ID” is identification information for identifying candidate information recorded in the notification table. The “sale ID” corresponds to the sale ID recorded in the sale table, and the item in the notification table indicates an event related to the candidate.

  “Notification date and time” is information indicating the date and time of starting recruitment of participants or the period of recruitment as a sale notification.

  “User ID (candidate)” corresponds to the user ID recorded in the user table 11a, and the item in the notification table includes a candidate who is a candidate for participation in the event (target of sale notification). The user ID given to the person) is recorded.

  Such a sale master, a sale table, and a notification table are configured in a recording area of the recording unit 11 included in the management support apparatus 1 or in another recording apparatus that can be appropriately accessed from the management support apparatus 1.

  In FIG. 29, event information and candidate information are described to be transmitted at a time in order to avoid redundant description, but the processing in steps S1101 to S1102 in FIG. 29 will be described with reference to FIG. Similar to the processing in steps S201 to S217 of the recruitment process, the interactive user interface may be used. That is, operations for various processes such as creation (recording) or selection of a sale master, creation (recording) of a sale table, selection of candidates, and the like are sequentially performed according to a predetermined screen displayed on the first terminal device 2c. The transmission / reception and recording of various information based on the operation is performed by the management support apparatus 1 or the like.

  Returning to the flowchart shown in FIG. 29, the control unit 10 transmits recruitment information for recruiting to participate in the event from the communication unit 23 to the candidate indicated by the user ID recorded in the notification table (S1103). The recruitment information in step S1103 is transmitted to the second terminal device 2d that has accepted the operation of confirming the sale information at the notification date and time set in the notification table. That is, the user can receive and browse the recruitment information as will be described later by performing an operation of confirming the sale information from a predetermined menu screen displayed on the second terminal device 2d.

  The control part 20 of the 2nd terminal device 2d receives recruitment information in the communication part 23, and displays the received recruitment information on the input display part 25 (S1104).

  A user who operates the second terminal device 2d performs an input for temporarily making a reservation by designating one set of events among a plurality of sets of events displayed as recruitment information. The input of provisional reservation is an input of an instruction to divert an event that recruits participants as recruitment information as an event for recruiting participants, and designation of event information indicated in the received recruitment information and This is a process for newly inputting candidate information.

  The control unit 20 of the second terminal device 2d accepts an input of provisional reservation at the input display unit 25 (S1105), and provisional reservation information based on the accepted provisional reservation is transmitted from the communication unit 23 via the communication network NW. 1 is transmitted (S1106). The provisional reservation information transmitted in step S1106 includes event information and candidate information. As the event information related to the provisional reservation information, the event information registered by the service entity using the first terminal device 2c is diverted. Therefore, it is not necessary to input the specific details of the event, It is also possible to add specific items such as “” as necessary. It is possible to re-enter the “application deadline” item, but it is not possible to set a date and time after the application deadline of the event information related to the original recruitment information. The candidate information related to the provisional reservation information is information generated by substantially the same process as the process of steps S209 to S215 of the recruitment process described with reference to FIG.

  The control unit 10 of the management support apparatus 1 receives the temporary reservation information at the communication unit 13, and performs a duplicate reservation determination process based on the received temporary reservation information (S1107). The duplicate reservation determination process in step S1107 is a process for determining whether or not other provisional reservations or other events to participate are duplicated due to reasons such as having already made a reservation for an event on the same day. If it is determined in step S1107 that the provisional reservation or the like is duplicated, this is notified to the second terminal device 2d, and the provisional reservation process shown below is not executed.

  After determining the duplicate reservation, the control unit 10 performs a provisional reservation process (S1108). The provisional reservation process in step S1108 is based on the event information and candidate information included in the provisional reservation information, and the recorded contents of the sale master and the sale table associated with the master ID and the sale ID included in these information. The event information is newly recorded in the event table 11b. Further, as temporary reservation processing, the control unit 10 executes processing for recording candidate information in the candidate table 11c as necessary based on recording of event information in the event table 11b. Further, as the temporary reservation process, the control unit 10 executes a process for clarifying the diversion relationship by associating the newly recorded event information in the event table 11b with the original event information recorded in step S1102.

  And the control part 10 transmits the diversion | recruitment recruitment information which recruits participation to the diverted event with respect to a candidate from the communication part 23 (S1109). The process of applying from the terminal device for the transmitted recruitment information is the same as the process related to the application for normal recruitment information. That is, for diversion recruitment information, processing such as reply transmission processing, reply recording processing, first non-participation processing, second non-participation processing, recruitment termination processing, early termination instruction processing, early termination processing, etc. similar to normal recruitment information Is executed. When the management support apparatus 1 executes the participant determination process for the event related to the diversion recruitment information, the management support apparatus 1 executes the participant determination process for the diverted event information, and further, the associated original event information Execute participant confirmation process for. In addition, when the management support apparatus 1 executes the event cancellation process for the event related to the diversion recruitment information, the management support apparatus 1 executes the event cancellation process for the diverted event information, and further, the event for the associated original event information Execute cancellation processing. In addition, when the event cancellation process is executed, if the application deadline related to the original event information has not been reached, the recruitment information related to the event can be retransmitted.

  That is, as the diversion solicitation process, the one terminal device 2 (first terminal device 2c) transmits event information and candidate information to be recorded in the event table 11b and the candidate table 11c. The other terminal device 2 (second terminal device 2d) uses the diverted event information and candidate information related to the diverted event by diverting the event related to the event information transmitted by one terminal device 2 recorded in advance in the event table 11b. To be recorded in the event table 11b and the candidate table 11c. The management support apparatus 1 records other event information in the event table 11b in association with one event information recorded in the event table 11b. Then, the management support apparatus 2 performs a process related to participation or non-participation for participation recruitment for an event recorded as other event information, for an event recorded as one event information associated with the other event information. Even run.

  The diversion recruitment process is executed as described above. By executing the diversion solicitation process in this way, the user selects, for example, a sale information provided by the service entity as a candidate to participate with any other user, and deals with the event related to the sale information. On the other hand, it is possible to apply as a tentative reservation.

  The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and can be implemented in various other forms. For this reason, the above-described embodiment is merely an example in all respects and should not be interpreted in a limited manner. The scope of the present invention is shown by the scope of claims, and is not restricted by the text of the specification. Further, all modifications and changes belonging to the equivalent scope of the claims are within the scope of the present invention.

  For example, in the embodiment described above, the event information is recorded in the event table 11b when the terminal device 2 transmits the event information to the management support device 1. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the case where the service entity is set to hold events that are to be regularly held in advance, the management support device 1 does not operate the terminal device 2 without operating the terminal device 2 for every predetermined period. It is possible to develop in various forms such as recording in the event table 11b and transmitting recruitment information.
