  On the other hand, the restaurant information providing server 100 in the present embodiment purchases a lunch box that each restaurant manufactures and sells, for example, during lunch hours or dinner hours in parallel with the provision of food and drinks in the store. It is possible to generate a sales schedule (sales place, sales time zone, route via) for selling outdoors by the mobile sales vehicle C to the user of the user terminal 200 who desires the user terminal 200.

  A restaurant that desires to sell a bento box by the mobile sales vehicle C transmits a notification to that effect from the restaurant terminal 300 to the restaurant information providing server 100 together with the desired number of sales per day or every predetermined time period. Upon receiving the notification, the restaurant information providing server 100 publishes information on the restaurant that sells the lunch box, for example, on the portal site together with information on the predetermined sales candidate place and the sales candidate time zone.

  Lunch orders (purchase requests) from users can be received via the portal site. And the sale of the lunch box to the user by the mobile sales vehicle C is determined when the purchase request for each of the above-mentioned sales candidate sites and sales candidate time zones is received at a predetermined ratio or more of the total number of sales desired at each restaurant. If the purchase request does not satisfy the predetermined ratio, the sale is not performed.

  The mobile sales vehicle C is managed by, for example, an administrator of the restaurant information providing server 100 and has a base (garage) at a position not far from each restaurant. Although only one base and mobile sales vehicle C are shown in the figure, there may be a plurality of mobile sales vehicles C at one base, and there are a plurality of bases for each predetermined area. May be.

  As shown in the figure, the mobile sales vehicle C (the driver) loads the lunch box from the base via at least one restaurant according to the sales schedule generated by the restaurant information providing server 100, and The user moves to the sales location desired by the user during the desired sales time zone.

  The sales target of the bento box by the mobile sales vehicle C may be limited to the user of the user terminal that has transmitted the purchase request, or the user who has not passed the purchase request and happens to pass by the mobile sales vehicle C is also distinguished. It may be sold.

  The user terminal 200 (200A, 200B, 200C ...) is a terminal used by a user, and is, for example, a smartphone, a mobile phone, a tablet PC (Personal Computer), a notebook PC, a desktop PC, or the like. The user terminal 200 accesses the restaurant information providing server 100, receives the Web page, and displays it on the screen using a browser or the like.

  The user terminal 200 determines a restaurant search condition such as area or genre based on the user's operation, transmits a restaurant search request based on the search condition to the restaurant information providing server 100, and performs search as a search result. Receive restaurant information.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, the user terminal 200 can also transmit a purchase request for a lunch box manufactured by the restaurant to the restaurant information providing server 100 via the portal site, for example. At this time, the user selects a desired purchase place and a desired purchase time zone where he / she wants to buy a lunch box, for example, from a sale candidate location and a sale candidate time zone posted on the portal site.

  The restaurant terminal 300 (300A, 300B, 300C ...) is a terminal used by, for example, an administrator of each restaurant, for example, a smartphone, a mobile phone, a tablet PC (Personal Computer), a notebook PC, a desktop PC. Etc. The restaurant terminal 300 communicates with the restaurant information providing server 100, for example, own restaurant information posted on the portal site, or information on a restaurant table or seat reservation by the user of the user terminal 200. Etc. can be exchanged.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the restaurant terminal 300 can request the restaurant information providing server 100 to sell the lunch box by the mobile sales vehicle C manufactured alongside the provision of food and drink in its own store. At this time, the restaurant terminal 300 also transmits the desired number of lunch boxes sold for each day or time period, and as described above, a purchase request equal to or greater than a predetermined ratio of the total desired number of sales for each restaurant is made by the user terminal. When received from 200, sales by the mobile sales vehicle C are determined.

  The desired number of sales does not have to be the total number of lunch boxes that a restaurant manufactures every day or every time period. That is, each restaurant sells the manufactured lunch box to the user even at, for example, the store. For example, when the sales situation of the store sales is not good, sales by the mobile sales vehicle C can be requested.

  In the following, among the processes that can be executed by the restaurant information providing server 100, a process for generating the lunch box sales schedule (sales place, sales time zone, and route) will be mainly described.

[Hardware configuration of restaurant information providing server]

  Although not shown, the basic hardware configuration of the user terminal 200 and the restaurant terminal 300 is substantially the same as the hardware configuration of the restaurant information providing server 100.

[Database configuration of restaurant information server]
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a configuration of a database included in the restaurant information providing server 100.

  As shown in the figure, the restaurant information providing server 100 has a restaurant information database 31, a purchase request information database 32, a map information database 33, and a sales schedule information database 34 in the storage unit 18.

  The restaurant information database 31 includes, for each restaurant, the store name and location information of the restaurant, the ID (store ID) for identifying the restaurant, the category information of the restaurant business type and service, and the restaurant. , That is, information indicating the characteristics of the store, such as PR statements of the store, event information performed by the restaurant, area information where the restaurant is located, restaurant address, telephone number, restaurant ( Stores image data (introducing stores), menu information about menus provided by restaurants, business hours, website URLs, and the like.

  The menu information is information corresponding to a menu posted on each restaurant site on the portal site, and stores menu names of a plurality of menus that each restaurant can provide for each restaurant. . The menu information may be stored for each menu category such as appetizer / main and lunch / dinner / course. If the image data corresponds to a menu, the image data is stored in association with the menu information.

  The area information is, for example, in units of prefectures, but information may be stored in units of a narrower range such as municipalities. The category information may include, for example, main categories such as Japanese food, Chinese, Italian, French, and yakiniku, and more detailed subcategories such as yakitori and tempura in Japanese food, pasta and pizza in Italian, and the like.

  In the purchase request information database 32, the user terminal 200 stores information related to the purchase request for the lunch box received from the user terminal 200. The information includes the desired purchase location of the lunch box, the desired purchase time zone, and user information (user email address, user ID, etc.).

  The purchase desired place is one of a plurality of sale candidate places that are reserved in advance by the restaurant information providing server 100 as a space where the mobile sales vehicle C can be parked. The desired purchase time zone is, for example, a time zone of 11:45 to 12:00, 12: 0 to 12:15, 12:15 to 12:30, etc., but is not limited to these examples.

The sales schedule information is transmitted to the mobile sales vehicle C and used.

  Each of these databases is used by referring to each other as necessary in the process for generating a lunch box mobile sales schedule by the restaurant information providing server 100 described later.

[Operation of restaurant information provision server]
Next, operation | movement of the restaurant information provision server 100 comprised as mentioned above is demonstrated. The operation is executed in cooperation with the hardware such as the CPU 11 and the communication unit 19 of the restaurant information providing server 100 and the software stored in the storage unit 18. In the following description, for the sake of convenience, the CPU 11 is an operation subject.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a restaurant reservation process performed by the restaurant information providing server 100. Below, especially the provisional reservation of a restaurant and this reservation process based on it are demonstrated.

  As shown in the figure, the CPU 11 of the restaurant information providing server 100 first determines whether or not the reception start time of the mobile sales of the lunch box has arrived for every predetermined time period such as one day or half a day ( Step 41).

  When it is determined that the reception start time has arrived (Yes), the CPU 11 determines whether a lunch box sales request has been received from any of the restaurant terminals 300 (step 42). The sales request may be transmitted via a management screen accessible when the restaurant terminal 300 wants to update the restaurant information on the portal site, for example. In this case, the sales request includes at least the number of lunch boxes desired to be sold in the predetermined time period (the desired number of sales).

  If it is determined that a lunch box sales request has been received from the restaurant terminal 300 (Yes), the CPU 11 uses information indicating the desired number of lunch sales included in the sales request as identification information (for example, a store ID) of the restaurant. The data is stored in association (step 43).

  Subsequently, the CPU 11 determines whether or not a lunch box purchase request has been received via, for example, the portal site (step 44). As described above, the purchase request includes information on the desired purchase place and desired purchase time zone selected by the user from a plurality of sale candidate locations and sale candidate time zones posted on the portal site, and user information (user's information). Email address, user ID, etc.). When the user is a member of the restaurant information providing service using the portal site and is logged in to the portal site as a member, the user information is automatically added to the purchase request from the login information.

  If it is determined that the purchase request has been received (Yes), the CPU 11 stores the purchase request in the purchase request information database 32 in association with user information for each desired purchase place and purchase time zone ( Step 45).

  Subsequently, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the number of purchase requests having the same desired sales location and desired purchase time zone is received at a predetermined ratio or more of the total desired sales included in the sales request from the restaurant terminal 300. (Step 46). Here, the predetermined ratio is, for example, 50% or 70%, but is not limited thereto. In addition, the predetermined ratio is limited to the user whose lunch box is sold by a user who has transmitted a purchase request (for example, a user who can receive a purchase request receipt notification from the restaurant information providing server 100 and present its screen), or It may be changed depending on whether a user who has not transmitted a purchase request and also passed by the mobile sales vehicle C is also subject to sale (in the latter case, the predetermined ratio may be relatively low). ).

  If it is determined that the purchase request has been received at the predetermined rate or more (Yes), the CPU 11 determines the purchase desired place and the purchase desired time zone as the lunch sales location and the sales time zone (step 47).

  Subsequently, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the reception end time of the mobile sales request for the lunch box from the restaurant terminal 300 has come (step 48).

  When determining that the reception end time has not arrived (No), the CPU 11 returns to step 42 and repeats the subsequent processing. Thereby, based on the sales request from the some restaurant terminal 300, a some sales place and sales time slot | zone can be determined.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the reception end time has arrived (Yes), the CPU 11 refers to the map information database 33 after closing the reception of the sales request from the restaurant terminal 300, and the mobile sales vehicle C loads lunches from the base via the restaurant requesting the sales request, and generates mobile sales route information for reaching the sales location in the sales time zone (step 48).

  Here, when there are a plurality of restaurants from which sales are requested and when there are a plurality of sales locations and sales hours, the CPU 11 passes through the plurality of restaurants to each of the plurality of sales locations. The shortest travel route information that arrives in the sales time zone is generated.

  Subsequently, the CPU 11 transmits the generated travel route information to the mobile sales vehicle C (step 49). For example, when the driver of the mobile sales vehicle C gets on and starts the engine, or when the car navigation device is instructed to start guidance for moving and selling the lunch box, the travel route information is displayed. Displayed in play. Instead of or together with this, the travel route information may be transmitted to the terminal of the driver of the mobile sales vehicle C and displayed on the display.

  Then, the CPU 11 transmits the mobile sales determination information including the determined sales location and sales time zone to the user terminal 200 that has transmitted the purchase request using the sales location and sales time zone as the desired purchase location and desired purchase time zone. (Step 50). Thereby, the user can grasp that the sale of the lunch box at the purchase place and purchase time zone desired by the user is determined, and can go to the purchase place and purchase the lunch box at the purchase time zone. On the other hand, the CPU 11 determines that the mobile sale of the lunch box is determined to the restaurant terminal 300 of each restaurant that is the sales request source, and the mobile sales vehicle C goes to the restaurant to receive the desired number of lunch boxes. Lunch receipt notification information indicating is sent. Thereby, the restaurant can prepare a bento for mobile sales.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of mobile sales route information generated and transmitted by the restaurant information providing server 100 and displayed on the screen of the car navigation device of the mobile sales vehicle C.

  As shown in the figure, in the travel sales route information, the map image 51 has a departure point pointer 52 corresponding to the departure point (base) of the mobile sales vehicle C, and a food and drink serving as a transit point for loading lunch boxes. A restaurant pointer 53 corresponding to the location of the store and a sales location pointer 54 corresponding to the sales location of the lunch box are arranged, and a route line 55 for arriving at the sales location from the departure point via the restaurant in the shortest time is displayed. Is done.

  In addition to the information, route time information 56 indicating the departure time, the estimated time of transit to the restaurant, and the estimated arrival time is also displayed.

  This eliminates the trouble of manually setting the route until the driver of the mobile sales vehicle C arrives at the sales location via the restaurant until the sales location.

[Summary]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, the restaurant information providing server 100 determines the number of restaurants desired to sell a lunch, the desired purchase location and the desired purchase time of a user who desires to purchase a lunch. Compared to the number of purchase requests for each band, the location and time of moving sales of bento boxes without the need for complicated information processing, compared to the case of managing and delivering the sales area and desired sales time period for each user. And a mobile sales route can be generated. In this case, the restaurant information providing server 100 only needs to count and compare the number of sales desired and the number of purchase requests for each user's desired purchase place and desired purchase time zone. It is possible to prevent an increase in the processing load applied to.

[Modification]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.

  In the above-described embodiment, no mention is made of the genre (type) of the lunch box. However, the purchase request from the user terminal 200 may include information indicating the lunch box genre. For example, when the user transmits a purchase request on the portal site, the genre information may be selectable in the same manner as the desired purchase place and the desired purchase time zone. And the restaurant information provision server 100 may determine a sales place and a sales time slot | zone for every genre. Moreover, in this case, the restaurant information providing server 100 may generate one route that moves between a plurality of restaurants and a plurality of sales places having different genres of lunch boxes, or a plurality of sales places for one genre. And when a sales time zone exists, you may produce | generate the said travel route for every genre (every restaurant which sells the lunch of the same genre). Thereby, food can be efficiently sold to stores having different genres and to user groups having different preferences regarding genres.

  In the above-described embodiment, the restaurant information providing server 100 is a case where there are a plurality of sales places, and when the inventory number of the lunch box becomes a predetermined number or less in a certain sales place, A new travel route for replenishing and loading lunches via one of the restaurants (for example, the most recent restaurant) that sent the lunch box sales request before moving to another sales location to be moved It may be generated. In this case, for example, the driver of the mobile sales vehicle C may transmit an inventory shortage to the restaurant information providing server 100 using an application of a portable terminal, or provided in a lunch box mounting space of the mobile sales vehicle C. Stock shortage may be detected by the sensor and transmitted to the restaurant information providing server 100. This means that, for example, if the number of sales to the general customers other than the user who sent the purchase request is greater than expected, the food and drinks in the neighborhood where you want to sell the lunch even if the planned lunch is not available. Stock is secured by replenishing the lunch boxes at the store.

  In the above-described embodiment, the user has selected the desired purchase place and the desired purchase time zone for the lunch box from the sale candidate location and the sale candidate time zone that are preset by the restaurant information providing server 100. However, at least the sales candidate sites may not be set in advance. In this case, if a manually input desired purchase place is received together with selection information of a desired purchase time zone as a purchase request from each user terminal 200, the restaurant information providing server 100 has the same desired purchase time zone. Alternatively, the center of each purchase desired place in a plurality of purchase requests close to the desired purchase place may be determined as the sales position.

  In the above-described embodiment, when the mobile sales vehicle C sells a lunch box to the user, a purchase request for each sales candidate site and each sales candidate time zone is received at a predetermined ratio or more of the total number of sales desired by each restaurant. If the purchase request did not reach the predetermined ratio, the sale was not carried out. However, the restaurant information providing server 100 lowers the predetermined ratio by a certain ratio when, for example, a purchase request of the predetermined ratio or more is not received by a predetermined time before the reception end time of the bento mobile sales. You may change it to a value. Thereby, when the purchase request of the predetermined ratio or more after a change is received by the said reception end time, sales will be implemented.

  In the above-described embodiment, a lunch box is given as an example of a target product for mobile sales. However, the present invention is also applicable when the product to be sold is, for example, fresh food such as meat, vegetables and fruits, frozen food, retort food, instant food, processed food such as canned food, other food such as beverages and seasonings. The same applies. In the above-described embodiment, a restaurant is cited as an example of a store, but the present invention is also applicable to other stores that sell food. The food may be manufactured and sold at the store, or may not be manufactured at the store and may be sold only in the form of retail and wholesale.

  In the above-described embodiment, the restaurant information providing server that provides restaurant information to the user terminal on the portal site generates a schedule (sales position, sales time zone, sales route) for moving sales of each restaurant lunch box. However, a dedicated server different from the restaurant information providing server may be responsible for generating the mobile sales schedule.

  Among the inventions described in the claims of the present application, the invention described as “information processing method” is such that each step is automatically performed by at least one device such as a computer by information processing by software. Yes, it is not performed by humans using devices such as computers. That is, the “information processing method” is an information processing method using computer software, and is not a method in which a human operates a computing tool called a computer.
