  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a system configuration of a conference room reservation system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The conference room reservation system includes a conference room reservation management server 100 that is an information processing apparatus that manages reservation information for each conference room, and an operation terminal 200 that can be connected to the conference room reservation management server 100 via the network 50. .

  The operation terminal 200 includes a display device that is controlled by the conference room reservation management server 100 to display information, and an input device for an operator to input information to the conference room reservation management server. The operation terminal 200 may be a dedicated terminal, a personal computer or a smartphone equipped with a display device and an input device, which is configured to function as a terminal of the conference room reservation management server 100 by installing a specific program. But it ’s okay.

  FIG. 2 shows a hardware configuration of the conference room reservation management server 100. The conference room reservation management server 100 includes a CPU 1, a memory 2, a storage device 3 such as a hard disk drive (HDD), and a communication interface (IF) 4 that transmits and receives data to and from an external device via a network. These components are connected to each other via a control bus 5.

  The CPU 1 executes a predetermined process based on a control program stored in the memory 2 or the storage device 3 (or provided from a storage medium (not shown) such as a CD-ROM), and the conference room reservation management server 100 operations are controlled.

  FIG. 3 shows a functional configuration of the conference room reservation management server 100. The conference room reservation management server 100, the conference room reservation management server 100, the conference room information storage unit 11, the conference room designation reception unit 12, the conference room position acquisition unit 13, the user position acquisition unit 14, the time calculation unit 15, and the control The unit 16 is provided.

  The meeting room information storage unit 11 stores position information and reservation information of each meeting room. Examples of conference room location information include the location of the entrance / exit of the conference room in terms of coordinates and altitude information, information on the location of the conference room (for example, the name of the location or building, etc. For example, a name that is uniquely named by a company to distinguish a specific area from other areas). Here, the reservation information is information including a reservation time zone (start time and end time) and identification information of the reservation user of the conference room in the time zone. The “reservation user” means an individual who is scheduled to come to the conference room as a participant in an event such as a conference held (scheduled) in the reserved conference room.

  The conference room designation receiving unit 12 receives a conference room designation via the operation terminal 200. When there is only one conference room or when the operation terminal 200 is installed in each conference room, the conference room is automatically specified (in the latter case, the operation terminal being operated is operated). The conference room in which 200 is installed may be designated). Hereinafter, the meeting room for which the meeting room designation receiving unit 12 has received the designation is referred to as “designated meeting room”.

  The conference room position acquisition unit 13 acquires the location information of the designated conference room from the conference room information storage unit 11.

  The user position acquisition unit 14 sets the current reservation time zone of the designated conference room (the reservation time zone of the conference room reservation whose start time is before the current time and the end time is after the current time) ) Next reservation time zone (that is, the reservation time zone of the reservation that is the earliest in the conference room reservation whose start time is later than the current time) is acquired. The reservation user in the next reservation time zone can be specified by referring to the reservation information stored in the conference room information storage unit 14.

  If the next reservation time period is continuous with the current reservation time period depending on the reservation status of the conference room (that is, the end time of the current reservation time period and the start time of the next reservation time period are almost the same). In some cases, it is the same time) and in other cases it is not continuous (that is, there is a fixed time interval between the end time of the current reservation time zone and the start time of the next reservation time zone). In the following, the expression “reservation user” refers to a reservation user in the next reservation time period unless otherwise specified.

  As the position information of the reservation user, position information acquired by a face authentication system, a portable information terminal held by each individual, or the like, information obtained by conversion based on these, or the like can be used. In addition to the location information of the conference room described above, in addition to the coordinates and altitude information, the location, the name of the building, etc., or the specific area such as “XX Office” is distinguished from other areas. In order to do this, a name uniquely named by a company or the like may be used.

  The time calculation unit 15 uses the location information of the designated conference room (that is, the location information acquired by the conference room location acquisition unit 13) and the location information acquired by the user location acquisition unit 14 for reservation use. A predicted value of the time when the person arrives at the conference room (hereinafter, the predicted time is also referred to as “predicted arrival time”) is calculated.

  The time calculation unit 15 includes, for example, a predicted time output unit that outputs a predicted value of the time required for the reservation user to move from the current position to the designated conference room (hereinafter also referred to as “predicted travel time”). Then, the predicted arrival time is calculated by adding the predicted travel time output by the predicted time output unit to the current time. Therefore, the value obtained by subtracting the current time from the predicted arrival time is equal to the predicted travel time.

  In the predicted time output unit, the predicted travel time may be obtained using the travel speed of the reservation user, or the predicted travel time may be obtained without using the travel speed of the reservation user.

  In the former case, the predicted time output unit uses, for example, the position information of the designated conference room and the position information acquired by the user position acquisition unit 14, from the position of the reserved user to the position of the conference room. A distance calculating unit that calculates a distance; and a speed acquiring unit that acquires a moving speed of the reservation user, and the distance value calculated by the distance calculating unit is the moving speed value acquired by the speed acquiring unit. The time value obtained by dividing by is output as the predicted travel time. The “conference room position” means, for example, the position of the entrance / exit of the conference room.

  This mode can be used when the reservation user is assumed to move mainly to the conference room on foot (for example, when the reservation user's location and the conference room location are in the same building, or in different buildings. However, it is preferable to apply to a building that is within walking distance.

  As a method for calculating the distance, the linear distance can be directly calculated if the coordinates are known for both the position of the reservation user and the position of the conference room. In addition to the information on the position of the reservation user and the information on the position of the conference room, the information on the floor layout of each floor of the building can be used to calculate the moving distance.

  In addition, as for the moving speed of the reservation user, for example, a moving speed storing section for storing a predetermined moving speed value (for example, speed per second to m) is provided. The acquisition unit may acquire the information, or the movement speed acquired by the movement speed sensor or the like may be used (for example, a portable device that has a movement speed sensor and can measure the movement speed of its own device). For example, there is a method of acquiring the movement speed of the device as the movement speed of the reservation user when the reservation user holds it). A combination of these methods is also conceivable (for example, when the moving speed acquired by the moving speed sensor is substantially zero (interpreted as not moving due to being seated, etc.), Use speed values).

  As for the predicted time output unit in this case, in addition to simply dividing the distance by the moving speed as described above, for example, the time required for moving the floor using a staircase, an elevator, etc. is determined in advance. For example, the movement time may be calculated in consideration of movement by a staircase or an elevator.

  The predicted time output unit in the latter case outputs a predetermined travel time value as the predicted travel time using the location information of the designated conference room and the location information acquired by the user location acquisition unit 14. To do.

  This mode is applied when it is assumed that the vehicle is moved by using a moving means such as a car or a train (for example, when it is necessary to move between bases far enough to take an hour or more on foot). Is preferred.

  For example, the predicted time output unit outputs a predetermined moving time value when information on two places is input, and the position information and user position acquisition unit 14 of the designated conference room. It is possible to output the time output from the travel time output unit as the predicted travel time by including the input unit that inputs the position information acquired by the above to the travel time output unit.

  The processing in the travel time output unit will be described more specifically in the case where four remote bases of “business place A” to “business place D” exist in the positional relationship as shown in FIG. To do. In FIG. 4, the movement time between each base set in advance is indicated by a number, and if the departure base (position of the reservation user) and the arrival base (position of the conference room) are known, the movement as a predicted value is performed. Time will be fixed. For example, when the location of the conference room is “Business A” and the position of the reservation user is “Business D”, the travel time output unit outputs “1 hour” and the presence of the conference room When the location is “business place B” and the position of the reservation user is “business place C”, the travel time output unit outputs “1.5 hours”. FIG. 5 shows an example in which FIG. 4 is expressed more simply in a table focusing on the travel time.

  The control unit 16 controls the display device to display at least one of the predicted arrival time calculated by the time calculation unit 15 and the predicted travel time output by the prediction time output unit. When there are a plurality of reservation users, at least one of the predicted arrival time and the predicted travel time for the person with the shortest predicted travel time (that is, the person with the earliest predicted arrival time) is displayed. You may control to do.

  In the present embodiment, information on an individual who made a conference room reservation (hereinafter referred to as “reserver”) may be included in the reservation information.

In that case, a selection unit that selects a conference room that is closest to the designated conference room among the conference rooms that are not reserved in the next reservation time zone of the designated conference room,
When the distance between the position of the conference room selected by the selection unit and the position of the specified conference room is equal to or less than a predetermined value, for the reservation person in the next reservation time zone of the specified conference room, You may make it provide the notification part which performs the notification which requests the change with the conference room currently reserved (namely, designated meeting room) and the meeting room elected by the selection part.

  Further, when the reservation user includes the reservation user, the control unit 16 may control the display device so that only the predicted arrival time of the reservation user is displayed. In that case, after further providing a seat information storage unit for storing the position information of individual seats that can become reservation users in advance, the position of the seat of the reservation person in the next reservation time period and When the distance to the reserved conference room position is shorter than a predetermined distance, the predicted arrival time of the person who has the earliest predicted arrival time among the reservation users other than the reservation user and It may be controlled to display at least one of the predicted travel times.

  In the present embodiment, the predicted arrival time of all the reservation users (or the predicted arrival time of the reservation user when the reservation user is included) is the end of the next conference room reservation. When the time is later than the time, a deletion unit that deletes the next conference room reservation from the reservation information stored in the conference room information storage unit 11 may be provided.

  Hereinafter, an example of the flow of processing in the conference room reservation system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  A conference room is designated by an operation by the operator (step S1). When there is only one conference room or when the operation terminal 200 is installed in each conference room, the conference room conference room is automatically specified (in the latter case, The conference room in which the operation terminal 200 is installed may be designated). Hereinafter, the conference room designated in step S1 is also referred to as “target conference room”.

  Based on the reservation information stored in the conference room information storage unit 11, the reservation user in the next reservation time zone of the target conference room and the reservation user in the reservation time zone are specified (step S2).

  Information on the seat position of the reservation person specified in step S2 is acquired (step S3).

  It is determined whether the distance between the seat position of the reservation person specified in step S2 and the position of the target conference room is equal to or less than a predetermined value. (Step S4).

  If the determination result in step S4 is NO, the predicted arrival time of the reservation person specified in step S2 is calculated (step S5).

  If the determination result in step S4 is YES, the predicted arrival time of the reserved user specified in step S2 is calculated (step S6).

  It is determined whether the predicted arrival time calculated in step S5 or step S6 is later than the end time of the next reserved time zone of the target conference room acquired from the reservation information stored in the conference room information storage unit 11 (Step S7). If the determination result in step S4 is YES, it is determined YES when the predicted arrival times of all reservation users calculated in step S6 are later than the end time of the next reservation time zone. . If the determination result in step S4 is NO, it is determined as YES when the predicted arrival time of the reservation person calculated in step S5 is later than the end time of the next reservation time zone.

  If the decision result in the step S7 is YES, the reservation information is updated by deleting the reservation in the next reservation time zone of the target conference room (step 16).

  If the determination result in step S7 is NO, based on the predicted arrival time calculated in step S5 or step S6, it is determined whether or not there is a delay until the reservation user in the next reservation time zone arrives at the target conference room (Step S8). As a determination method, for example, the predicted arrival time of the reservation user calculated in step S5 or the predicted arrival time of the reservation user calculated in step S6 (if there are a plurality of reservation users, the earliest one is ) Is later than the start time of the next reserved time zone, and the difference between the predicted arrival time and the current time is larger than a predetermined time value (for example, 15 minutes), YES (in this example, even if the predicted arrival time is before the start time of the next reservation time zone or the predicted arrival time is after the start time of the next reservation time zone, If the difference between the current time and the current time is smaller than the predetermined time value, it is determined as NO).

  If the decision result in the step S8 is YES, it is judged whether or not there is an empty conference room near the target conference room based on the location information and reservation information of the conference room (step S9). For example, it is determined whether or not an empty conference room that is selected by the selection unit and that is closest to the target conference room is closer than a predetermined distance (for example, 30 m) from the target conference room.

  If the decision result in the step S9 is YES, a notice for requesting a change of the reserved conference room is made to the reservation person in the next reserved time zone of the target conference room (step S10).

  An input regarding whether or not to accept the change of the conference room is made by the reservation person in the next reservation time zone of the target conference room, and it is determined whether or not the change of the conference room is accepted by the reservation person based on the input result. (Step S11).

  When the determination result in step S11 is YES, or after the reservation for the next reserved time zone of the target conference room is deleted in step S16, the display device displays that the target conference room can be reserved ( Step S12). For example, if the operator is a reservation person who has reserved the target conference room in the current reservation time zone, it is possible to extend the conference room reservation. Otherwise, the target conference room It may be displayed that a new reservation is possible. An example of the former is shown in FIG.

  When the determination result in step S8 is NO, the predicted arrival time calculated in step S5 or step S6 is displayed on the display device (step S13). At that time, as illustrated in FIG. 8, a message for promptly leaving the room and information on an empty conference room may be further displayed.

  When the determination result of step S9 is NO, the predicted arrival time calculated in step S5 or step S6 is displayed on the display device (step S14). At this time, information regarding an empty conference room (information indicating that there is no empty conference room) may be further displayed.

  When the determination result of step S11 is NO, the predicted arrival time calculated in step S5 or step S6 is displayed on the display device (step S15). At that time, as illustrated in FIG. 9, information regarding an empty conference room (for example, information indicating that the conference room selected by the selection unit can be used / reserved) may be further displayed.

  In the above embodiment, the conference room information storage unit 11, the conference room designation reception unit 12, the conference room position acquisition unit 13, the user position acquisition unit 14, the time calculation unit 15, and the control unit 16 are configured as one device (conference Although described as a configuration included in the room reservation management server 100), the present invention can also be implemented as a system in which these are included in separate devices.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the conference room reservation management server 100 which has the conference room information storage part 11 and manages the reservation information of a conference room was illustrated as information processing apparatus, this invention is a conference room information storage. If another device or system having the unit 11 is present on the network 50, the present invention can be implemented as an information processing system that does not have a function of managing reservation information for conference rooms.

  In the above embodiment, the conference room reservation management server 100 and the operation terminal 200 are described as separate units. However, the present invention can be implemented even if the conference room reservation management server 100 includes a display device and an input device. It is.
