Description

  The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus, a user terminal, an information processing method, and a program capable of controlling a user check-in process to a service facility such as a restaurant and a privilege information giving process corresponding to the check-in process.

  Conventionally, when a user visits a service facility such as a restaurant, an electronic stamp is provided via a user terminal as a privilege to the user, instead of the stamp on a conventional paper medium. It has been broken.

  For example, in Patent Document 1 below, a short-distance wireless communication function is displayed on a user's mobile terminal by a check-in privilege granting unit that can be held by a user or a service provider on the service facility side. A check-in privilege granting method intended to allow a user to easily recognize that an electronic stamp has been given by giving an electronic stamp to the electronic stamp card and displaying the electronic stamp on the electronic stamp card. It is disclosed.

JP, 2006-106286, A

  However, in the above technology, when a user carrying a portable terminal having the electronic stamp card visits a group including other users, the electronic stamp is not given to the other users. Since it is necessary to prepare an electronic stamp card separately in its own mobile terminal, it is not only inconvenient for other users, but also for the service facility side, there is a problem that collection of user information including the group is not promoted.

  In view of the circumstances as described above, the object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily share the privileges granted to the users who visited the service facility with other users who have visited the service facility, and to share the visit information of more users for each group. It is to provide an information processing apparatus, a user terminal, an information processing method, and a program that can be acquired by a service facility.

  In order to achieve the above object, an information processing apparatus according to an aspect of the present invention includes a communication unit and a control unit. The communication means can communicate with the first user terminal and the second user terminal. The control means includes a facility ID for identifying the service facility and a first terminal ID for identifying the first user terminal from the first user terminal that has received a predetermined check-in operation to the service facility from a user. When the in-information is received, the first terminal ID is stored in association with the predetermined privilege information. Further, the control means transmits check-in identification information that can be read for a predetermined first time from the reception of the check-in information to the first user terminal. Further, the control means receives the check-in shared information including the second terminal ID for identifying the second user terminal and the first terminal ID from the second user terminal that has read the check-in identification information. The second terminal ID is stored in association with the privilege information, and the first terminal ID and the second terminal ID are stored in association with one group ID.

  As a result, the information processing apparatus not only provides a privilege according to the check-in of the user terminal to the service facility, but also transmits the check-in identification information to be read by other user terminals, thereby visiting the user It is possible to easily share the privilege granted to the other users who have visited together, and to make the store side obtain visit information of more users for each group. Here, the first time is, for example, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, but is not limited thereto. The check-in operation may be an operation for contacting or communicating with a check-in device installed in a facility, or an operation in which a user terminal reads a check-in code installed in a facility. Also good. In this case, the check-in device has, for example, a predetermined stamp pattern that is different for each service facility, and can make the user terminal recognize the stamp pattern by touching the touch panel of the user terminal. The check-in identification information may be, for example, an image of an electronic stamp corresponding to the stamp pattern, but is not limited thereto.

  When the control means has received the check-in information including the facility ID and the second terminal ID from the second user terminal, and has not received the check-in shared information from the second user terminal The second terminal ID may be stored in association with the privilege information.

  Thereby, the information processing apparatus gives a privilege on condition that the user of the first user terminal does not receive sharing of the check-in information when the user of the second user terminal also checks in by the check-in operation. By doing so, it is possible to prevent a privilege from being redundantly given to one user.

  Further, the control means further receives the check-in information from the second user terminal within a second time longer than the first time after receiving the check-in information from the second user terminal. Instead of storing the second terminal ID in association with the privilege information, the first terminal ID and the second terminal ID may be stored in association with the group ID.

  Thereby, after the second user terminal checks in itself, the information processing apparatus receives the check-in shared information via the first user terminal from the second user terminal. Although the assignment is not performed, the user of the first user terminal and the user of the second user terminal can be associated as users of the same group. Here, the second time may correspond to the average stay time of the user at the service facility, for example, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, etc., but is not limited thereto.

  A user terminal according to another aspect of the present invention includes communication means capable of communicating with a server, display means, and control means. When the control unit receives a predetermined check-in operation for a service facility from a user, the control unit transmits check-in information including a facility ID for identifying the service facility and a terminal ID for identifying the user terminal to the server. . Furthermore, the control means receives check-in identification information that can be read for a predetermined time from the reception of the check-in information by the server, and displays the check-in identification information on the display means. The server, based on the check-in information received from the user terminal and the check-in shared information received from another user terminal that has read the check-in identification information, each of the user terminal and the other user terminal The terminal ID is stored in association with predetermined privilege information and one group ID.

  Thereby, since the user terminal can receive the check-in identification information as well as giving the user a privilege according to it at the time of check-in to the service facility, the user causes the other user terminal to read it. Thus, the privilege given to the visiting user can be easily shared with other users who have visited together, and more visit information of the user can be acquired for each group on the store side.

An information processing method according to another aspect of the present invention includes:
When the check-in information including the facility ID for identifying the service facility and the first terminal ID for identifying the first user terminal is received from the first user terminal that has received a predetermined check-in operation for the service facility from the user. , Storing the first terminal ID in association with predetermined privilege information,
Transmitting check-in identification information readable for a predetermined first time from the time of reception of the check-in information to the first user terminal;
When receiving the check-in sharing information including the second terminal ID for identifying the second user terminal and the first terminal ID from the second user terminal that has read the check-in identification information, the second terminal Storing the ID in association with the privilege information, and storing the first terminal ID and the second terminal ID in association with one group ID.

A program according to another embodiment of the present invention is provided in an information processing device.
When the check-in information including the facility ID for identifying the service facility and the first terminal ID for identifying the first user terminal is received from the first user terminal that has received a predetermined check-in operation for the service facility from the user. Storing the first terminal ID in association with predetermined privilege information;
Transmitting check-in identification information readable for a predetermined first time from the time of reception of the check-in information to the first user terminal;
When receiving the check-in sharing information including the second terminal ID for identifying the second user terminal and the first terminal ID from the second user terminal that has read the check-in identification information, the second terminal An ID is stored in association with the privilege information, and a step of storing the first terminal ID and the second terminal ID in association with one group ID is executed.

  As described above, according to the present invention, privileges granted to users who have visited service facilities can be easily shared with other users who have visited together, and visit information of more users can be provided for each group. It can be acquired by the facility. However, this effect does not limit the present invention.

  In addition, an application (hereinafter referred to as a check-in application) that operates in cooperation with the check-in privilege grant processing by the restaurant information providing server 100 is installed in the user terminal 200, and the check-in is stored in the storage unit 28. A program and data necessary for executing the application are stored.

[Database configuration of restaurant information server]
FIG. 4 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 41, a user information database 42, a privilege information database 43, and an electronic stamp information database 44 in the storage unit 18.

  The restaurant information database 41 includes, for each restaurant, the restaurant name and location information of the restaurant, the ID (facility 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 service facilities such as PR statements of service facilities, event information performed by restaurants, area information where restaurants are located, restaurant addresses (location information), telephone numbers Image data relating to restaurants (introducing restaurants), menu information relating to menus provided by restaurants, business hours, website URL, and the like are stored.

  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.

Specifically, the privilege information database 43 stores information such as what privilege is granted when the same user checks in at which restaurant for the privilege granted to the user in the future, For example, information related to a privilege already given to the user is stored in association with the user ID. Each privilege is assigned a privilege ID for identifying each privilege, and at least the privilege ID is associated with the user ID. The privilege ID may include a time stamp indicating the date and time when the privilege was given to the user (the date and time when the user checked in with the check-in device 300 or the date and time when the check-in information was shared with other users). Good.

  The electronic stamp information database 44 stores a stamp pattern for the electronic stamp device set for each restaurant and information related to the electronic stamp image S in association with the store ID.

  These databases are used by referring to each other as necessary in the check-in privilege granting process 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. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of check-in privilege provision processing at a restaurant by the restaurant information providing server 100.

  As shown in the figure, the CPU 11 of the restaurant information providing server 100 first determines whether or not check-in information has been received from the user terminal 200 (first user terminal) that has checked into the restaurant (step 51). ).

  The check-in information includes a store ID that identifies the restaurant and a first terminal ID that identifies the first user terminal that has checked in. In the check-in in this embodiment, a user who visits a restaurant starts the check-in application on the user terminal 200, picks up the check-in device 300 (electronic stamp device) installed in the restaurant, It is executed by bringing the bottom surface into contact with (i.e., impressing) the display unit 26 (the electronic stamp imprinting area displayed by the check-in application).

  By the contact of the electronic stamp device, the check-in application of the user terminal 200 recognizes the stamp pattern of the electronic stamp device, recognizes the store ID from the stamp pattern, and uses it together with the first terminal ID of the user terminal 200. It transmits to the restaurant information provision server 100 as check-in information. However, instead of the check-in application recognizing the store ID from the stamp pattern, the check-in application transmits the stamp pattern information as it is to the restaurant information providing server 100, and the restaurant information providing server 100 uses the stamp pattern to transmit it. You may recognize corresponding shop ID.

  When determining that the check-in information has been received from the user terminal 200 (first user terminal) (Yes), the CPU 11 specifies the store ID and the first terminal ID from the check-in information (step 52).

  Subsequently, the CPU 11 stores the first terminal ID in the privilege information database 43 in association with the privilege information corresponding to the check-in (step 53). The privilege information may be an electronic coupon, or may be individual check-in number identification information that becomes an electronic coupon when a predetermined number is collected. A privilege ID including the time stamp information as described above is given to the privilege information.

  Subsequently, the CPU 11 transmits to the user terminal (first user terminal) a check-in identification image (electronic stamp image S) that can be read for a time T1 from the time of reception of the check-in information (step 54). The time T1 is, for example, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc., but is not limited thereto.

  The user of the user terminal 200 (first user terminal) that has received the electronic stamp image S is in a state where the electronic stamp image S is displayed on the display unit 26. The check-in information can be shared with other users by causing the reader (camera) of the user terminal 200 (second user terminal) of the user to read it.

  Specifically, when the other user terminal 200 (second user terminal) reads the electronic stamp image S, the second user terminal transmits check-in shared information to the restaurant information providing server 100. The check-in shared information includes a second terminal ID that identifies the second user terminal and the first terminal ID.

  Subsequently, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the check-in shared information has been received from the second user terminal (step 55).

  If it is determined that the check-in sharing information has been received from the second user terminal (Yes), the CPU 11 determines the second terminal ID for identifying the second user terminal from the check-in sharing information and the first user terminal that is the sharing source A first terminal ID for identifying is identified (step 56).

  Subsequently, the CPU 11 stores the second terminal ID in the privilege information database 43 in association with the privilege information (privilege ID) (step 57).

  The CPU 11 stores the first terminal ID and the second terminal ID in the user information database 42 or the privilege information database 43 in association with the same group ID as user terminals belonging to the same group (step 58). .

  Thereby, the restaurant information provision server 100 is a user who belongs to the same group, that is, the user of the first user terminal and the user of the second user terminal, that is, they often act together or have similar preferences. Can be managed as a group of users. Therefore, for example, the restaurant information providing server 100 simultaneously transmits information such as restaurant information and coupons specialized for a specific type (genre, service time, etc.) to the user terminals 200 of users belonging to the same group. In this way, group visits can be promoted.

  Further, in the present embodiment, it is conceivable that not only the user of the first user terminal but also the user of the second user terminal who visits the store performs the check-in operation by the check-in device 300 himself.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the flow of check-in privilege provision processing by the restaurant information providing server 100 when the check-in information is received from the user of the second user terminal.

  As shown in the figure, the CPU 11 of the restaurant information providing server 100 first determines whether or not check-in information has been received from the second user terminal 200 (step 61). The check-in information includes a store ID that identifies the restaurant and a second terminal ID that identifies the second user terminal that has checked in.

  If it is determined that check-in information has been received from the second user terminal 200 (Yes), the CPU 11 determines whether or not privilege information is associated with the second terminal ID between the time of reception and before time T2. Is determined (step 62). That is, the CPU 11 receives the check-in shared information from the second user terminal 200 before the time T2 through the check-in identification image based on the check-in of the first user terminal 200, so that the first It is determined whether or not the privilege information given to the user of the first user terminal 200 has already been given to the user of the second user terminal 200.

  Here, the time T2 is longer than the time T1, and may correspond to the average stay time of the user at the restaurant, for example, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, etc., but is not limited thereto. Absent. Moreover, CPU11 judges whether privilege information was matched before time T2, for example based on the time stamp etc. which are contained in privilege ID of the said matched privilege information.

  Here, the time T2 is set as the determination condition because the user of the second user terminal performs a plurality of check-in operations at the time of one visit to the store or checks in together with the check-in operation. This is to prevent a plurality of benefits from being duplicated and given to the user of the second user terminal for one visit by performing a sharing operation. That is, if the privilege information is associated with the second terminal ID from the time when the check-in information is received to before the time T2 (Yes in step 62), the user of the second user terminal is once at the restaurant. It is considered that a plurality of check-in operations, or both check-in operations and check-in sharing operations were performed during the stay, and the CPU 11 does not perform any privilege grant processing to the user of the second user terminal. The process ends.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the privilege information is not associated with the second terminal ID before time T2 (No in step 62), the check-in operation by the user of the second user terminal is the first time after visiting the store. Since it is assumed that the operation is a check-in operation, the CPU 11 stores the second terminal ID and the privilege information in association with each other in the privilege information database 43 (step 63).

  Subsequently, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the check-in shared information is received from the second user terminal 200 within the time T2 from the time when the check-in information is received (step 64).

  When it is determined that the check-in shared information has been received from the second user terminal 200 within the time T2 (Yes), the CPU 11 determines from the check-in shared information of the user terminal that is the sharing source in the same manner as step 56 in FIG. The ID (first terminal ID in this example) is specified, and the first terminal ID and the second terminal ID are associated with the same group ID and stored in the user information database 42 or the privilege information database 43 (step) 65).

  However, since the privilege information is already associated with the second terminal ID in step 63, the CPU 11 does not execute the process of associating the second terminal ID with the privilege information again.

  With the above processing, the restaurant information providing server 100 receives the check-in shared information via the first user terminal 200 from the second user terminal 20 after the second user terminal 200 has checked in itself. Although the provision of the privilege which overlaps with the 2nd user terminal 200 is not performed, the user of the 1st user terminal 200 and the user of the 2nd user terminal 200 can be linked | related as a user of the same group.

[Summary]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, at the time of check-in of the user terminal 200 to a restaurant, not only a privilege corresponding to the check-in is given, but also a check-in identification image is transmitted to other user terminals 200. By making it read, while the privilege given to the user who visited can be easily shared with the other user who visited together, the visit information of more users can be acquired by the store side for every group.

  In addition, since the sharing of the check-in information is completed simply by causing another user terminal to read the check-in identification image, the check-in information can be shared without the need for a restaurant to prepare new equipment.

[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 invention.

  In the above-described embodiment, the restaurant information providing server 100 checks in from each user terminal 200 by the user of the first user terminal 200 or the second user terminal 200 performing a check-in operation while staying at the restaurant. After receiving the information, when the check-in information is received again from any of the user terminals 200 after the time T1 has elapsed, a new check-in identification image that is valid for the time T1 is transmitted to each user terminal 200 from that point in time. May be. Alternatively, the restaurant information providing server 100 may transmit an update signal for updating the check-in identification image so as to extend the expiration date of the already transmitted check-in identification image by the time T1. As a result, even after the time T1 has elapsed since the check-in, the user performs the check-in operation again, thereby giving the user an opportunity to share the check-in information with other users. However, in this case, since the privilege information has already been given to each user, the restaurant information providing server 100 does not associate the terminal ID of each user terminal 200 with the privilege information.

  In the above-described embodiment, the electronic stamp device that contacts the user terminal 200 is exemplified as the check-in device, but the check-in device is not limited to the electronic stamp device. For example, the check-in device may be a device capable of transmitting check-in identification information to the user terminal 200 by short-range wireless communication. Moreover, regardless of the check-in device, for example, when the user terminal 200 reads a two-dimensional code on a check-in sticker installed in each restaurant, the user terminal 200 provides the restaurant information providing server 100 with the check-in information. May be sent to.

  In the above-described embodiment, when the restaurant information providing server 100 receives the check-in information from the first user terminal 200, the check-in identification image is used as the check-in identification information transmitted for reading by the second user terminal 200.
