The store code is information required when the ordering server 50 manages a plurality of stores, and is not required when managing one store. This store code is held in the barcode 44 and is acquired by reading the barcode 44 by the smartphone 20.

  The determination unit 62 determines whether or not the table number 42 has consistency. The consistency of the table number 42 is determined by checking with a plurality of table numbers registered in advance in the facility management table information 52B. In the facility management table information 52B, a plurality of table numbers permitted in advance are registered.

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of the facility management table information 52B according to the present embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 5, the facility management table information 52B according to the present embodiment includes a table number (for example, A01, A02, A03, etc.) that can individually identify each of the plurality of tables 40 installed in the store. ...) is registered in association with the position in the store.

  The determination unit 62 according to the present embodiment determines whether or not the table number 42 included in the first order information 37A exists in the facility management table information 52B. If the table number 42 exists, the determination unit 62 has consistency. Then, if the table number 42 does not exist, it is determined that there is no consistency.

  In this embodiment, in addition to the presence / absence of consistency of the table number 42, the presence / absence of consistency of the date / time information 35A is also determined. Consistency of the date / time information 35 </ b> A is determined by collating with the current date / time indicated by the timer unit 65. For example, the determination unit 62 determines whether or not the time difference between the date and time indicated by the date and time information 35A included in the first order information 37A and the current date and time measured by the timer unit 65 is within a predetermined range. . When the time difference is within the predetermined range, it is determined that the image has consistency, and when the time difference exceeds the predetermined range, it is determined that the image has no consistency. Note that the determination criterion is not limited to this, and it may be simply determined whether or not both the month and the day match.

  The registration unit 63 registers the first order information 37 </ b> A in the storage unit 52 when both the date information 35 </ b> A and the table number 42 are consistent as a result of the determination by the determination unit 62. Specifically, various types of information included in the first order information 37A are registered in the slip management table information 52C, the terminal management table information 52D, and the order content table information 52E. In the present embodiment, the information is divided into three pieces of table information, but may be configured as one piece of table information. Hereinafter, in this embodiment, the case where the presence / absence of consistency is determined for both the date information 35A and the table number 42 will be described, but the presence / absence of consistency may be determined only for the table number 42.

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the slip management table information 52C according to the present embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 6, the slip management table information 52C includes a slip number 38N unique to the desk number 42, the number of customers in the group corresponding to the desk number 42, together with the desk number 42 included in the first order information 37A. The group number 38P representing is registered. In the case of the example shown in FIG. 6, for the smartphone 20 of the customer A, the desk number 42 is registered as “B01”, the slip number 38N is “42”, and the group number 38P is “2”. The group number 38P will be described later.

  According to the present embodiment, the first order information 37A is registered when both the date information 35A and the table number 42 are consistent. In this case, compared with the case where only the consistency of the table number 42 is determined, it is possible to more effectively suppress the occurrence of an illegal order from the smartphone 20. That is, even if the consistency of only the table number 42 is determined, it can be a deterrent against the occurrence of unauthorized orders, but the customer of the store reads the barcode 44 using the smartphone 20 and acquires the table number 42. For example, as long as the table number 42 is not changed, it is possible to place an order without visiting the store. In the case of a malicious person, there is a possibility that an unauthorized order is made from the smartphone 20.

In contrast, in this embodiment, the date and time indicated by the date and time information 35A is acquired at the timing when the barcode 44 is read, and if both the date and time information 35A and the table number 42 are not consistent, the order Since information is not registered, the occurrence of fraudulent orders is more effectively suppressed.
In addition, the customer reads the barcode 44 using the smartphone 20 and acquires both the date information 35A and the table number 42. There is a possibility of sending order information including both of these. In such a case, the date / time information 35A is date / time information at the time of visiting the store, and since the time difference from the current time measured by the ordering server 50 is larger than a predetermined range, it is determined that there is no consistency.

FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of terminal management table information 52D according to the present embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 7, in the terminal management table information 52D, the MAC address 22B included in the first order information 37A is registered in association with the slip number 38N. In the case of the example shown in FIG. 7, the MAC address 22B is registered as “SSA223334455” and the slip number 38N is registered as “42” for the smartphone 20 of the customer A.

FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram showing an example of order content table information 52E according to the present embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 8, the slip number 38N, the MAC address 22B included in the first order information 37A, and the order content 36 are registered in the order content table information 52E. The order detail table information 52E is associated with each of the slip management table information 52C and the terminal management table information 52D by the slip number 38N. Also, in the order detail table information 52E, a new / added type 39 is registered that indicates whether the received order information indicates a new order or an additional order. In this embodiment, the new / added type 39 is determined based on whether the order number includes the slip number 38N and whether the table number 42 is registered in the slip management table information 52C.

  Next, the case where the ordering server 50 receives the input of the first order information 37A transmitted from the smartphone 20 of the customer B will be described.

  The input unit 60 receives input of the first order information 37 </ b> A transmitted from the smartphone 20 of the customer B via the communication unit 53. The first order information 37A received from the smartphone 20 of the visitor B also includes the table number 42 (for example, “B01”) and the MAC address 22B (for example, “YA22222222”). That is, the table number 42 of the customer A's smartphone 20 is the same as the table number 42 of the visitor B's smartphone 20, and the MAC address 22B of the visitor A's smartphone 20 is different from the MAC address 22B of the visitor B's smartphone 20. And by the registration process of the 1st order information 37A from the smart phone 20 of the visitor A, "B01" has already been registered as the desk number 42 in the slip management table information 52C.

  If the determination unit 62 according to the present embodiment determines that both the date / time information 35A and the table number 42 included in the received order information are consistent, whether the received order information further includes the slip number 38N. Whether or not the table number 42 has already been registered in the slip management table information 52C is determined. If the received order information does not include the slip number 38N and the desk number 42 is not registered in the slip management table information 52C, the determination unit 62 determines that the order information is a new order. On the other hand, if the received order information does not include the slip number 38N and the desk number 42 has already been registered in the slip management table information 52C, it is determined that the order information is an additional order. When the received order information includes the slip number 38N, the order information is determined as an additional order regardless of whether or not the desk number 42 is registered in the slip management table information 52C.

  As an example, when the first first order information 37A is input from the smartphone 20 of the customer A, the input first order information 37A does not include the slip number 38N, and the desk number 42 is not registered in the slip management table information 52C. Therefore, the determination unit 62 determines that the order is new. In this case, the registration unit 63 generates a unique slip number 38N for the desk number 42. The registration unit 63 associates the desk number 42, the MAC address 22B, and the slip number 38N and registers them in the slip management table information 52C and the terminal management table information 52D, and the order contents of the first order information 37A. 36 is registered in the order content table information 52E as a new order.

  On the other hand, when the first order information 37A is input from the smartphone 20 of the customer B, the input first order information 37A does not include the slip number 38N, and the desk number 42 is already registered in the slip management table information 52C. The determination unit 62 determines that the order is an additional order. In this case, the registration unit 63 associates the MAC address 22B (for example, “YYA222222222”) of the smartphone 20 of the customer B with the same slip number 38N (for example, “42”) as that of the smartphone 20 of the customer A. 52D, and the order content 36 of the first order information 37A is registered in the order content table information 52E as an additional order. Here, the registration unit 63 refers to the terminal management table information 52D, counts the number of MAC addresses 22B associated with the same slip number 38N, and associates the counted number with the slip number 38N. Registered in the slip management table information 52C. Thereby, the group number 38P of the slip management table information 52C is registered. That is, the group number 38P corresponds to the number of MAC addresses 22B associated with the same slip number 38N. As an example, in the case of visitors A and B, since two MAC addresses 22B are registered, the number of visitors of the group number 38P is registered as “2”. Thereby, the employee of the store can easily and accurately grasp the number of visitors constituting one group.

  When the first order information 37A from the customer A's smartphone 20 is registered, the output unit 64 outputs the slip number 38N registered in the slip management table information 52C to the customer A's smartphone 20 via the communication unit 53. To do. Similarly, when the first order information 37A from the smart phone 20 of the customer B is registered, the output unit 64 uses the slip number 38N registered in the slip management table information 52C as the smart phone of the customer B via the communication unit 53. 20 is output.

  Through the above operation, the slip number 38N acquired by each of the plurality of smartphones 20 is the same, and is used from each of the plurality of smartphones 20, for example, when making an additional order or performing an accounting process. . When performing an additional order, the order input application 22A of each of the plurality of smartphones 20 is activated as in the case of a new order.

  In the case of an additional order, in each of the plurality of smartphones 20, the acquisition unit 31 uses the reading unit 23 to read the barcode 44 of the table 40 and acquire the table number 42 as in the previous time. At this time, when the groups of guests A and B move their seats and sit at different tables 40, a table number 42 different from the previous time is acquired, and the groups of guests A and B do not move their seats and are at the same table 40. If the user is seated in the table, the same table number 42 as the previous time is acquired. Then, the transmission processing unit 34 performs processing for transmitting the order information 37B (hereinafter referred to as second order information 37B) to the ordering server 50 via the communication unit 24. The second order information 37B includes the desk number 42 acquired by the acquiring unit 31, the date / time information 35A, the MAC address 22B, and the slip number 38N, and the order content 36 received by the order input unit 33. . In this example, the order content 36 included in the second order information 37B is different from the order content 36 included in the first order information 37A.

  In the present embodiment, the date / time information 35A acquired at the time when the barcode 44 is read is used to determine whether or not the order is illegal. Even if it is, the barcode 44 is read.

  The input unit 60 of the ordering server 50 receives input of the second order information 37 </ b> B transmitted from each of the plurality of smartphones 20 via the communication unit 53.

  In the registration unit 63 according to the present embodiment, both the date / time information 35A and the table number 42 included in the received second order information 37B are consistent, and the received second order information 37B has a slip number 38N. And if the slip number 38N registered in the slip management table information 52C matches the slip number 38N included in the received second order information 37B, the order contents 36 of the second order information 37B are added as an additional order. Register in order content table information 52E.

  If the slip number 38N does not match, it is determined that some falsification or the like has been performed, and the second order information 37B is not registered.

  According to the present embodiment, in addition to the determination of the consistency of both the date information 35A and the table number 42, whether the order number includes the slip number 38N or not, the table number 42 has already been registered in the slip management table information 52C. It is possible to easily and accurately specify whether the order information is a new order or an additional order. As a result, it is possible to accurately specify the customers who have ordered, that is, the customers who have made new orders and the customers who have made additional orders. For this reason, food and drink can be smoothly provided in the store.

  Furthermore, as described above, when the group of the guests A and B is moving at the time of the additional order, the table number 42 different from the table number 42 at the time of the new order is acquired. Therefore, the registration unit 63 differs from the desk number 42 registered in the slip management table information 52C and the desk number 42 included in the received second order information 37B, and the slip number 38N registered in the slip management table information 52C. And the slip number 38N included in the received second order information 37B match the desk number 42 registered in the slip management table information 52C to the desk number 42 included in the received second order information 37B. Update. By updating the table number 42, the store employee can easily identify the destination seat even when the group of the visitors A and B moves the seat without permission, and the destination of the food and drink is wrong. There is nothing.

  On the other hand, when the customers A and B perform the accounting process using the slip number 38N, for example, the employee confirms the slip number 38N displayed on the display unit 26 of the smartphone 20 of either the visitor A or B, and the employee The employee inputs the confirmed slip number 38N to the accounting apparatus 90. Note that the slip number 38N may be input from the smartphone 20 to the accounting apparatus 90 via short-range wireless or the like. Further, a bar code indicating the slip number 38N may be displayed on the display unit 26 of the smartphone 20 and may be input by being read by a bar code reader provided in the accounting apparatus 90. When the slip number 38N is input, the accounting apparatus 90 outputs an order content output request including the input slip number 38N to the ordering server 50, and inquires about the order content 36 corresponding to the slip number 38N. .

  When an order content output request including the slip number 38N is input as an inquiry from the accounting apparatus 90, the ordering server 50 outputs the order content 36 corresponding to the input slip number 38N to the order content table information 52E. And output to the accounting device 90 via the external device I / F 54. Then, the accounting apparatus 90 performs accounting processing according to the order contents 36 received from the ordering server 50, and outputs an accounting processing completion notification including the slip number 38N to the ordering server 50.

  Note that the order content 36 received by the order input unit 33 may be stored in the smartphone 20, and a barcode indicating the order content 36 may be displayed on the display unit 26 of the smartphone 20. When displaying a barcode indicating the order contents 36 on the display unit 26, the order contents 36 can be acquired simply by the accounting device 90 reading the barcode displayed on the display unit 26 by the barcode reader. Inquiries from 90 to the ordering server 50 become unnecessary.

  According to the present embodiment, by associating the unique slip number 38N with the desk number 42 of the desk 40 used by the guests making up one group, the accounting processing of a plurality of visitors can be performed collectively with one slip number 38N. Is called. For this reason, it is not necessary to perform individual accounting processing, and the accounting processing can be performed efficiently.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, you may use together with the customer's smart phone 20 the store dedicated order input terminal device which the store employee uses. As an example, when a new order is input from an employee's order input terminal device, a slip number 38N is generated and registered in the slip management table information 52C in association with the desk number 42 as in the case of the smartphone 20. . Subsequent additional orders are performed using the slip number 38N, and thus the same processing as that for the smartphone 20 is performed. When the number of visitors is input in advance from the employee order input terminal device and the number of people is registered in the group number 38P of the slip management table information 52C, the count number of the MAC address 22B exceeds the number of groups 38P. It is desirable to have a function of adding the number of surplus persons to the number of group persons 38P.

  When the accounting processing completion notification including the slip number 38N is input from the accounting apparatus 90, the ordering server 50 receives the slip number 38N input from the slip management table information 52C and the terminal management table information 52D by the registration unit 63. Delete the table number 42 and the MAC address 22B corresponding to. Further, the registration unit 63 deletes the order content 36 corresponding to the slip number 38N from the order content table information 52E.

  In the smartphone 20, the slip number 38N is deleted when a certain time (for example, about 8 hours) has elapsed after the transmission of the order information. If the bar code 44 of a different store is read before the slip number 38N is deleted, the stored slip number 38N may be deleted and input of an order may be started at a different store. Further, when the bar code 44 of the same store is read again, the slip number 38N may not be deleted and an order may be input using it as it is. In this case, in the ordering server 50, the order information from the smartphone 20 is registered as an additional order by holding the slip number 38N assigned to the smartphone 20 in the slip management table information 52C for a certain period of time.

  Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 9-11, each effect | action of the some smart phone 20 which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated. FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a processing flow of the order input application 22A according to the present embodiment. FIG.10 and FIG.11 is a front view which shows an example of the screen displayed on the display part 26 of the smart phone 20 which concerns on this embodiment.

  First, in step 100 of FIG. 9, when each of a plurality of visitors constituting one group sits on the table 40 and activates the order input application 22 </ b> A of the smartphone 20 owned by itself, the example is shown in FIG. 10. An initial screen 26A is displayed on the display unit 26. On the initial screen 26A shown in FIG. 10, “order input”, “order history reference”, “barcode reading”, and “menu list” are displayed as four selectable items. If there is no order history to be referred to in the case of a new order or the like, “order history reference” may be grayed out so that it cannot be selected, or may not be displayed.

  In addition, although the screen shown in FIG. 10 corresponds to Japanese as an example, a screen corresponding to a plurality of languages may be displayed for foreigners. In this case, even foreigners can smoothly enter orders, and it is desirable that there is no need to keep a menu book written in multiple languages.

  Next, in step 102, the determination unit 30 determines whether or not a predetermined item has been pressed from selectable items on the initial screen 26A shown in FIG. When it is determined that a predetermined item has been pressed (in the case of an affirmative determination), the process proceeds to step 104. When it is determined that a predetermined item has not been pressed (in the case of a negative determination), the process stands by in step 102. . The predetermined items here are “bar code reading” and “order input”.

  In step 104, the determination unit 30 determines whether or not “bar code reading” is pressed on the initial screen 26 </ b> A shown in FIG. 10. When it is determined that “bar code reading” has been pressed (in the case of affirmative determination), the process proceeds to step 106, and when it is determined that “bar code reading” has not been pressed (in the case of negative determination), step 120. Migrate to

  In step 106, the acquisition unit 31 reads the barcode 44 using the reading unit 23 and acquires the table number 42.

  In step 108, the acquisition unit 31 uses the timekeeping unit 35 to acquire date / time information 35 </ b> A indicating the date / time when the barcode 44 is read.

  In step 110, the encryption unit 32 encrypts the table number 42 using the date / time information 35A as an encryption key.

  In step 112, the acquisition unit 31 acquires the MAC address 22 </ b> B stored in the storage unit 22.

  In step 114, the transmission processing unit 34 sets the date and time information 35A acquired by the acquisition unit 31, the encrypted table number 42, and the MAC address 22B in a state of waiting for transmission in a buffer (not shown) of the CPU 21A. To do.

  In step 116, the determination unit 30 determines whether or not the slip number 38N has been received from the ordering server 50. If it is determined that the slip number 38N has been received (in the case of an affirmative determination), the process proceeds to step 118. If it is determined that the slip number 38N has not been received (in the case of a negative determination), the process proceeds to step 126.

  In step 118, the transmission processing unit 34 sets the received slip number 38N in the buffer of the CPU 21A.

  On the other hand, in step 120, the determination unit 30 determines whether or not “order input” is pressed on the initial screen 26A shown in FIG. When it is determined that “order input” has been pressed (in the case of affirmative determination), the process proceeds to step 122, and when it is determined that “order input” has not been pressed (in the case of negative determination), the process returns to step 102. .

  In step 122, the order input unit 33 displays the menu list screen 26B shown in FIG. In this example, it is assumed that the information indicating the menu list screen 26B has been acquired. However, if the information is not acquired, the “menu list” on the initial screen 26A shown in FIG. It is good also as a form to acquire. The order input unit 33 receives the food and quantity ordered by the customer, that is, the input of the order content 36 via the menu list screen 26B. As for the number of foods and drinks, when food and drinks are selected on the menu list screen 26B, a screen for inputting the number of selected foods and drinks is displayed in a pop-up on the menu list screen 26B. May be.

  In step 124, the determination unit 30 determines whether or not the input of the order details 36 has been completed. When it is determined that the input of the order details 36 has been completed (in the case of an affirmative determination), the process proceeds to step 126. In this case, the transmission processing unit 34 sets the order content 36 for which input has been completed in the buffer of the CPU 21A. On the other hand, when it is determined that the input of the order details 36 has not ended (in the case of negative determination), the process waits until the input of the order details 36 ends in step 124. In this example, the end of the input of the order contents 36 is determined based on whether or not the “Confirm” button on the menu list screen 26B is pressed. When the “confirm” button is pressed, an order confirmation screen 26 </ b> C shown in FIG. 10 is displayed on the display unit 26. At this time, if the reading of the barcode 44 is completed, the table number 42 (A99 in this example) is displayed on the order confirmation screen 26C. The order confirmation screen 26C is a screen for displaying a list of foods and beverages corresponding to the order contents 36. When the “menu” button on the order confirmation screen 26C is pressed, the order confirmation screen 26C returns to the menu list screen 26B. You can reselect food and drink.

  In step 126, the determination unit 30 determines whether all necessary information is prepared in the buffer of the CPU 21A. When it is determined that all necessary information is not complete (in the case of negative determination), the process proceeds to step 128. When it is determined that all necessary information is complete (in the case of positive determination), the process proceeds to step 130. . Here, the necessary information is information necessary as order information. In this example, the information is date / time information 35A, encrypted desk number 42, MAC address 22B, and order contents 36. The slip number 38N is not essential information, but if it has been received from the ordering server 50, the slip number 38N is also included in the information.

  In step 128, the acquisition unit 31 displays a message for prompting acquisition of unacquired information on the display unit 26 and returns to step 102. In this example, when the unacquired information is the date / time information 35A, the encrypted table number 42, and the MAC address 22B, the first error message screen 26E shown in FIG. 11 is displayed as an example. On the other hand, when the unacquired information is the order contents 36, the second error message screen 26F shown in FIG. 11 is displayed as an example.

  In step 130, the transmission processing unit 34 requests registration of order information together with the order information including the date / time information 35A, the encrypted table number 42, the MAC address 22B, and the order contents 36 set in the buffer of the CPU 21A. The order registration request to be transmitted is transmitted to the ordering server 50. In this example, when the “Send” button on the order confirmation screen 26C shown in FIG. 10 is pressed, the order registration confirmation screen 26D shown in FIG. 10 is displayed on the display unit 26 as an example. Furthermore, when the “OK” button on the order registration confirmation screen 26 </ b> D is pressed, the order registration request is transmitted to the ordering server 50. When an order registration request is transmitted from the smartphone 20 to the ordering server 50 and the order registration is completed, “order history reference” on the initial screen 26A shown in FIG. 10 can be selected. When this “order history reference” is pressed, the history of the ordered order content 36 can be referred to. When the process of step 130 is completed, a series of processes of the order input application 22A are also terminated.

  Next, the operation of the ordering server 50 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing flow of the order registration processing program 52A according to the present embodiment. The program accepts an order registration request from each of the plurality of smartphones 20 by the input unit 60. Execution starts when

  First, in step 200 of FIG. 12, the decryption unit 61 decrypts (decrypts) the encrypted table number 42 included in the order information requested for order registration, and the determination unit 62 encrypts the decryption unit 61. It is determined whether or not the decrypted table number 42 has been successfully decoded. If it is determined that the decryption of the table number 42 has been successful (in the case of an affirmative determination), the process proceeds to step 202. If it is determined that the decryption of the table number 42 has failed (in the case of a negative determination), the process proceeds to step 204.

  In step 202, the determination unit 62 determines whether both the date information 35A and the table number 42 are consistent. If it is determined that it does not have consistency (in the case of negative determination), the process proceeds to step 204. If it is determined that it has consistency (in the case of positive determination), the process proceeds to step 206.

  In step 204, the output unit 64 outputs an error message indicating the registration failure of the order information requested for order registration to the smartphone 20 via the communication unit 53, and then ends the order registration processing program 52A. In addition, the smartphone 20 will perform the process according to an error message, if this error message is input.

  In step 206, the determination unit 62 determines whether or not the slip number 38N is included in the order information for which order registration is requested. When it is determined that the slip number 38N is not included in the order information (in the case of negative determination), the process proceeds to step 208. On the other hand, when it is determined that the order number includes the slip number 38N (in the case of affirmative determination), the process proceeds to step 228.
