Hereinafter, an example of the first embodiment (hereinafter, referred to as the first embodiment) of the reception system according to the present invention will be described.

[1-1. Overall configuration of reception system]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of the reception system. As shown in FIG. 1, the reception system S includes an applicant terminal 10 and a server 20, which are connected to a network N such as the Internet. Although FIG. 1 shows only one applicant terminal 10 and one server 20, there may be a plurality of these.

  The applicant terminal 10 is a computer operated by the applicant. The applicant is the person who applies for the service used by the user. A user is a person who uses the service. Utilization means receiving a service and using the service. An application is a procedure for using a service, for example, making a reservation, establishing a contract, or purchasing. In other words, the application is to send information such as the name of the user to the server 20 and to indicate the intention to use the service.

  The applicant may be the same as the user or may be different from the user. That is, the applicant may apply for the service that he / she uses, or may apply for the other user. In the present embodiment, a case will be described in which an applicant applies for a service used by a plurality of users and is also a part of the users. That is, the applicant applies for a service used by himself and his accompanying person.

  For example, the applicant terminal 10 is a mobile phone (including a smartphone), a mobile information terminal (including a tablet computer), a personal computer, or the like. In the present embodiment, the applicant terminal 10 includes a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, a communication unit 13, an operation unit 14, and a display unit 15.

  The control unit 11 includes at least one microprocessor. The control unit 11 executes processing according to the programs and data stored in the storage unit 12. The storage unit 12 includes a main storage unit and an auxiliary storage unit. For example, the main storage unit is a volatile memory such as a RAM, and the auxiliary storage unit is a non-volatile memory such as a ROM, an EEPROM, a flash memory, or a hard disk.

  The communication unit 13 is a communication interface for wired communication or wireless communication, and performs data communication via the network. The operation unit 14 is an input device for the applicant to operate, and is, for example, a pointing device such as a touch panel or a mouse, a keyboard, or a button.

Good. For example, the program or data stored in the information storage medium may be supplied to each computer via the reading unit or the input / output unit.

[1-2. Overview of Reception System of Embodiment 1]
In the first embodiment, a case where the reception system S is applied to a travel reservation service will be described as an example. The travel reservation service is a service that supports the creation of an itinerary. An itinerary is a trip plan, itinerary, or itinerary, and is composed of at least one service. In Embodiment 1, the service is a component of the itinerary and is an individual appointment during the trip. In other words, the service is an individual travel product that is a target for reservation or purchase, and can also be an item that is a target for application.

  Itineraries can incorporate multiple types of services. As the service, any type of service such as accommodation, transportation (transportation), rental car, activity (optional tour), restaurant, or tourist facility can be applied. The accommodation facility is a facility such as a hotel, an inn, a guesthouse, a pension, or a private night. The means of transportation is a means such as an aircraft, a train, a bus, or a ship. A tourist facility is a facility such as an aquarium, zoo, theme park, park, temple, shrine, or stadium.

  For example, when the applicant operates the applicant terminal 10 to access the server 20, the top screen of the travel reservation service is displayed on the display unit 15. In the first embodiment, the case where the screen described below is displayed on the web browser will be described, but it may be displayed on the application of the travel reservation service.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the top screen. As shown in FIG. 2, for example, on the top screen G1, input forms F10 to F14 for inputting search conditions for services and a button B15 for executing a search are displayed.

  The search condition is a query used in the search, and any condition can be input. The search condition may be a keyword, a numerical value selected from a plurality of predetermined numerical values, or attribute information such as a category. The numerical value is a numerical value of a condition such as time, the number of people, or a budget.

  In addition, the time may mean only the date (year, month, day) or the date and time including the date and the time. Further, the time may indicate a specific point in time, or a rough period. The period may indicate a time zone on a certain day or a period extending over a plurality of days.

  On the top screen G1, search conditions can be entered for each service type such as hotel, airline ticket, rental car, bus, activity, restaurant, and tourist facility. Here, the process when the applicant selects “hotel” as the search target will be described as an example.

  For example, the applicant inputs a keyword such as an accommodation place in the input form F10. The accommodation place does not have to be input by a keyword, and may be selected from a region list prepared in advance. Further, for example, the check-in date is input to the input form F11, and the check-out date is input to the input form F12. Further, for example, the number of adults used is input to the input form F13, and the number of children used is input to the input form F14.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing how a search is executed. As shown in the top screens G1A and G1B of FIG. 3, for example, when the applicant inputs search conditions in the input forms F10 to F14 and selects the button B15, hotels satisfying the search conditions are searched. In the example of the top screen G1B of FIG. 3, among the hotels in “Okinawa” input in the input form F10, “July 1, 2018” to “July 2018,” input in the input forms F11 and F12. On the use date of "5th of a month", a hotel having a room in the room for "two adults" and "one child" entered in the input forms F13 and F14 is searched.

  As shown in FIG. 3, when a hotel is searched, a search result screen G2 showing the search result is displayed on the display unit 15. For example, the search condition used in the search is displayed on the input form F20 of the search result screen G2. When the desired hotel is not found, the applicant changes the search condition from the input form F20 and executes the search again. Further, for example, the list L21 of the search result screen G2 displays the hotels hit by the search. For example, in the list L21, information such as the name of the hotel hit by the search, the image (not shown in FIG. 3), the rating of the applicant, and the price range is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 3, when the applicant selects a hotel displayed in the list L21, a service detail screen G3 showing the details of the hotel is displayed on the display unit 15. In FIG. 3, the applicant selects “hotel A” in the list L21, and the service detail screen G3 showing the page of “hotel A” is displayed on the display unit 15. For example, on the service details screen G3, the name, rating, image, room name, and charge of "Hotel A" are displayed.

  Although the hotel may be reserved from the service detail screen G3, in the first embodiment, the applicant adds the hotel to the travel car, assembles the itinerary, and then collectively reserves the services in the travel car.

  The travel basket is a list of services that are incorporated into the itinerary and a list of services under consideration. In other words, a travel basket is a temporary itinerary created prior to finalizing the itinerary (prior to completing the service reservation). A travel basket is a concept similar to a shopping cart in electronic commerce. The applicant adds a plurality of types of services to the travel basket, plans an itinerary of his or her preference, and reserves these types of services.

  For example, on the service detail screen G3, a button B30 for adding the displayed hotel to the travel car is displayed. When the applicant selects the button B30, "Hotel A" displayed on the service detail screen G3 is added to the travel car, and the travel car screen is displayed on the display unit 15. The applicant may add the service to the travel car without changing the time and the number of passengers entered in the search condition, or the time and the number of people entered in the search condition may be changed before changing the travel car. You may add services to.

  Although the process of adding a hotel to the travel car has been described, other services can be added to the travel car in the same flow. Any number of services may be added to the travel car, but here, a case where a total of three services including a hotel, an airline ticket, and activities are added to the travel car will be described as an example. To do. When the applicant performs a predetermined operation, a travel car screen showing the contents of the travel car is displayed on the display unit 15.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the travel car screen. As shown in FIG. 4, the service added to the travel car is displayed in the display area A40 of the travel car screen G4. In the first embodiment, since each service is added to the travel car after the number of users and the time of use are specified, the number of users and the time of use specified by the applicant are displayed in the display area A40.

  In the first embodiment, each service added to the travel car has the same number of users, but the number of users may be different depending on the service, as in a modified example described later. In the example of FIG. 4, three services of an airline ticket, a hotel, and an activity are added to the travel car, and the number of users of these three services is all three.

  Further, in the first embodiment, the combination of three users is the same for each service, but the combination of users may be different depending on the service, as in a modified example described later. In the example of FIG. 4, three people who use an airline ticket, three people who use a hotel, and three people who use an activity are not a partial match but a complete match. Therefore, for example, there is no user who uses the hotel but does not use the activity, and all three use the airline ticket, the hotel, and the activity.

  For example, when the applicant selects the button B400, the service indicated by the button B400 is deleted from the travel car. Further, for example, when the applicant selects the button B41, a reservation information input screen for inputting reservation information required for service reservation is displayed on the display unit 15.

  The reservation information includes information notified to the service provider, and includes personal information such as the user's name, date of birth, age, sex, address, and telephone number. In other words, the reservation information can be referred to as a service reservation condition. For example, the service provider may be notified of all of the reservation information or only part of the reservation information. The reservation information defines the input items for the user.

  The input item is a component of the reservation information, and is a type of information necessary for making a reservation. For example, for each service, the input items required to reserve the service are defined. For example, a flight ticket has a name, a date of birth, and a gender as input items. Further, for example, in a hotel, like an airline ticket, a name, a date of birth, and a gender are defined as input items. Further, for example, a name, height, and age category are defined as input items in the activity. The age category is a category (age zone) of the age of the user. Here, the "adult" is 20 years old or older, and the "minor" is 13 years old or more and less than 20 years old. In addition, "school children" are 6 years old and under 13 years old, "infants" are 1 year old and over 6 years old, and "infants" are under 1 year old.

  Although the number of input items for each service is three here, the number of input items may be arbitrary, may be one or two, or may be four or more. Further, the number of input items may be different for each service, for example, two input items may be defined for a certain service and four input items may be defined for another service.

  As described above, the input items of the airline ticket and the hotel are completely duplicated, and the input items of the "name" of the activity are duplicated. In this regard, if the input items of these services are formed in different input forms, the applicant needs to input the input items such as the name and date of birth of the same user many times. Therefore, the reception system S of the first embodiment generates an input form capable of suppressing duplicated input of duplicated input items and displays it on the reservation information input screen.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the reservation information input screen. FIG. 5 shows the entire reservation information input screen G5, and a part of the reservation information input screen G5 of FIG. 5 is scrollably displayed on the display unit 15. On the reservation information input screen G5, an input form in which duplicate input items are grouped into one for each user is displayed.

  In the display area A50A, an input form for inputting the reservation information of the first user is displayed. For example, in the display area A50A, an input form F51A for inputting the name of the first user is displayed. Since the input items of the name are duplicated in the three services of the airline ticket, the hotel, and the activity, the three duplicated portions are combined into one, and only one input form F51A is displayed. That is, the input form F51A is an input form shared by the three services. As a result, the name of the first user would normally have to be input three times, whereas the reservation information input screen G5B requires only one input.

  In the display area A50A, an input form F52A for inputting the birth date of the first user is displayed. Since the input items of the date of birth are duplicated in the two services of the airline ticket and the hotel, the two duplicated portions are combined into one, and only one input form F52A is displayed. That is, the input form F52A is an input form shared by the two services. As a result, originally, the birth date of the first user has to be input twice, but on the reservation information input screen G5B, only one input is required.

  In the display area A50A, an input form F53A for inputting the gender of the first user is displayed. Since the input items of the date of birth are duplicated in the two services of the airline ticket and the hotel, in the first embodiment, the two duplicated portions are combined into one, and only one input form F53A is displayed. Has been done. That is, the input form F53A is an input form shared by the two services. As a result, the gender of the first user would normally have to be input twice, whereas the reservation information input screen G5B requires only one input.

  An input form F54A for inputting the height of the first user is displayed in the display area A50A. The input items for height are set only for the activities, and there is no particular overlap. Therefore, the input form F54A is not particularly organized, and is not shared by a plurality of services. In this way, the reservation information input screen G5B may display an input form dedicated to a specific service.

  In the display area A50A, an input form F55A for inputting the age division of the first user is displayed. The input item of "age category" is set only for the activity, and there is no particular overlap. Therefore, the input form F55A, like the input form F54A, is not particularly organized and is not shared by a plurality of services. However, since the age category can be calculated from the date of birth, in the first embodiment, the age category to be entered in the input form F55A is calculated from the date of birth entered in the input form F52A, and the age category is automatically calculated. It is supposed to be entered.

  In the display area A50B, an input form for inputting the reservation information of the second user is displayed. Further, in the display area A50C, an input form for inputting reservation information of the third user is displayed. Since the input forms F51B to F55B and the input forms F51C to F55C are the same as the input forms F51A to F55A, respectively, description thereof will be omitted here. Note that, hereinafter, the display areas A50A to A50C will be simply referred to as the display area A50 unless it is necessary to distinguish them. Similarly, with respect to each input form shown in FIG. 5, the letters of the alphabet at the end may be omitted and simply described as the input forms F51, F52, F53, F54, F55.

  When the reservation information of each service added to the travel basket is input and the applicant selects the button B56, the reservation information input in each input form of the reservation information input screen G5 is transmitted to the server 20. Upon receiving the reservation information for each service, the server 20 transmits the reservation information to each service provider. The server 20 may send all the reservation information to the service provider, or may send only a part of the reservation information to the service provider. When the server 20 sends the reservation information to the service provider, the system on the service provider side executes predetermined application processing to complete the service reservation.

  As described above, when the applicant overlaps the input items of the plurality of services added to the travel car by the applicant system S, the reception system S provides an input form in which the overlapping input items are collected into one for each user. By displaying the reservation information on the reservation information input screen G5, it is possible to reduce the time and effort required by the applicant to input a plurality of services. Hereinafter, the details of the configuration will be described.

[1-3. Functions realized in the first embodiment]
FIG. 6 is a functional block diagram illustrating an example of functions implemented by the reception system S of the first embodiment. Here, the function realized by the server 20 and the function realized by the applicant terminal 10 will be described.

[1-3-1. Functions realized on the server]
The server 20 implements a database storage unit 200, a selection receiving unit 201, a service specifying unit 202, an input item specifying unit 203, and a display control unit 204. The database storage unit 200, the selection receiving unit 201, the service specifying unit 202, the input item specifying unit 203, and the display control unit 204 respectively include a database storage unit, a selection receiving unit, a service specifying unit, an input item specifying unit, and a display control unit. Is an example.

[Database storage]
The database storage unit 200 is realized mainly by the storage unit 22. The database storage unit 200 stores a database necessary for displaying the reservation information input screen G5. Here, a case where the database storage unit 200 stores the service database DB1 and the applicant database DB2 will be described.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of data storage in the service database DB1. As shown in FIG. 13, the service database DB1 is a database that stores various kinds of information regarding services. For example, the service database DB1 stores a service ID that uniquely identifies a service, a service name, a type, basic information, and an input item.

  In the first embodiment, the travel reservation service is taken as an example, and therefore the service name is, for example, an accommodation facility name, an aircraft flight name, a train name, a bus name, a rental car store name, an activity name, a restaurant name, or The name of the tourist facility. The type of service is, for example, a type of accommodation facility, transportation, activity, restaurant, or tourist facility (type of service provider), and can also be referred to as a service attribute. The basic information is basic information of the service, and is, for example, information such as location, contact information, price, or service content. The basic information is used as an index when searching.

  At least one input item is defined for each service. Which input item is to be input may be determined in advance. For example, the service provider may specify the input item necessary for reserving his / her own service, or the administrator of the reception system S may specify the type of service. You may specify the input item for each.

  For example, the service database DB1 stores item names designated as input items. In the first embodiment, items related to personal information such as “name”, “date of birth”, “gender”, “height”, and “age category” are given as an example, but any item can be designated as an input item. There may be items such as “nationality”, “full age”, “place of residence”, “presence or absence of option”, or “presence or absence of allergy”. Further, for example, the information for identifying the user may be information such as a nickname, a mail address, an account, a user ID, or a passport number, in addition to the name.

  The data stored in the service database DB1 is not limited to the above example. Arbitrary information may be stored in the service database DB1, for example, inventory information of each service may be stored, and may be referred to when searching. Besides, for example, the input item may not be related to the user, and the input items such as “departure time” and “arrival time” may be stored in the service database DB1.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a data storage example of the applicant database DB2. As shown in FIG. 14, the applicant database DB2 is a database that stores various kinds of information regarding the applicant. For example, the applicant database DB2 stores an applicant ID that uniquely identifies the applicant, an applicant name, and travel car data.

  The travel car data is data indicating the contents of the travel car. In other words, travel car data is data that indicates the services that the applicant has added to the travel car. For example, the travel car data stores the service ID of the service added to the travel car, the usage time, and the number of users.

  Usage time is the time specified by the applicant when the service is added to the travel basket. As described above, the usage time may be only the date or the date and time. The number of users is the number specified by the applicant when the service is added to the travel car. The number of users may be the number of people in each category such as adults and children, or may be the number of people who do not particularly consider the categories.

  The information stored in the travel car data is not limited to the above example. For example, when a condition other than the usage time and the number of users (for example, the presence or absence of an option) is specified, the condition may be stored.

  The data stored in the applicant database DB2 is not limited to the above example. For example, the applicant database DB2 may store data indicating the history of reservations made by the applicant. The data may include reservation information input by the applicant at the time of reservation.

  The data stored in the database storage unit 200 is not limited to the above example. For example, the database storage unit 200 may store an item database that defines input items of reservation information. A calculation formula for calculating reservation information may be stored in the item database. For example, "age category" can be calculated from "date of birth" or "full age", so the formula for calculating "age category" from "date of birth" or "full age" is defined in the item database. Good. In addition, for example, since “full age” can be calculated from “date of birth”, a calculation formula for calculating “full age” from “date of birth” may be defined in the item database.

[Selection reception part]
The selection receiving unit 201 is realized mainly by the control unit 21. The selection receiving unit 201 receives selection of a plurality of services by the applicant. In the first embodiment, the selection accepting unit 201 is realized by the server 20, and therefore the selection accepting unit 201 accepts the service selection by receiving the service ID of the service selected by the applicant from the applicant terminal 10.

  The applicant terminal 10 may transmit the service ID of the selected service each time the applicant selects a service, or when the applicant performs a predetermined operation, the plurality of selected terminals are selected. The service IDs of the respective services may be collectively transmitted at one time. In the present embodiment, when the button B41 on the travel car screen G4 is selected, the travel car data is transmitted from the applicant terminal 10 to the server 20, so the selection receiving unit 201 causes the selection car 201 to show the contents of the travel car. By receiving the data, the selection of a plurality of services is accepted.

  In the first embodiment, the selection receiving unit 201 receives the selection of three or more services by the applicant. In the example described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 5, the selection receiving unit 201 receives selection of three services such as an airline ticket, a hotel, and an activity. Note that the number of services selected by the applicant may be arbitrary, and may be one, two, or four or more, for example.

[Service specification part]
The service specifying unit 202 is realized mainly by the control unit 21. The service specifying unit 202 specifies a service used by each of a plurality of users, among a plurality of services. For example, the service identifying unit 202 identifies which user uses which service. Further, for example, the service specifying unit 202 specifies a user who uses each of the plurality of services. Further, for example, the service specifying unit 202 specifies the correspondence relationship between each of the plurality of services and each of the plurality of users.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, since the combination of users who use each service is the same, the service specifying unit 202 specifies that all of the plurality of users use all of the plurality of services. That is, the service specifying unit 202 specifies that all users will use all the selected services. In other words, the service identifying unit 202 identifies that each of the plurality of services is used by all users. In the first embodiment, since the number of users is shown in the travel car data, the service identifying unit 202 determines that all users of the number of users shown in the travel car data are in the plurality of services added to the travel car. Specify to use all.

  In the first embodiment, since the applicant selects three or more services, the service specifying unit 202 specifies that all of the plurality of users use all of the three or more services. In the example described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 5, the service specifying unit 202 specifies that all three users use all three services such as airline tickets, hotels, and activities.

[Input item specification part]
The input item identification unit 203 is realized mainly by the control unit 21. The input item identification unit 203 identifies an input item regarding the user of each service. Since the relationship between the service and the input item is stored in advance in the data storage unit, the input item identification unit 203 identifies the input item associated with each service. In the first embodiment, since the input items of each service are defined in the service database DB1, the input item specifying unit 203 specifies the input items of each service by referring to the service database DB1.

[Display controller]
The display control unit 204 is realized mainly by the control unit 21. The display control unit 204 generates and displays an input form capable of suppressing duplicated input of duplicated input items between services based on the services used by each user and the input items of each service. The service used by each user is specified by the service specifying unit 202. The input item of each service is specified by the input item specifying unit 203.

  An input item that overlaps between services is an input item that overlaps in each of a plurality of services. When the input item of a certain service and the input item of another service overlap, the input item concerned is an input item which overlaps between services. Duplication means that the names of the input items of the plurality of services match. In other words, duplication means that the name of each input item of a plurality of services is the same.

  Since the input item name may have a typographical fluctuation, an attribute may be set for the input item so that the typographical fluctuation can be absorbed. For example, even if the attributes have the same meaning, they may be described as "name" or "name", or the same word may be described in Japanese kanji or hiragana. When there are notational fluctuations, the fact that the attribute of each input item of a plurality of services is the same may correspond to duplication. Besides, for example, the input item may be set with an ID instead of a name. In this case, the same input item ID corresponds to duplication.

  Overlapping input is inputting the same information multiple times. In other words, inputting the same information into each of the input forms of a plurality of input items that overlap each other corresponds to duplicate input. The ability to prevent duplicate input means avoiding duplicate input, preventing duplicate input, or preventing duplicate input. That is, reducing the number of input times compared to the case of performing duplicate input corresponds to suppressing duplicate input. In the first embodiment, duplicated input can be suppressed by performing the input only once regardless of the duplication of input items.

  The input form is an image for inputting and transmitting information, and is, for example, a text box, a pull-down menu, a radio button, or a check box. In the input form, arbitrary information can be input, for example, text, a numerical value, or a symbol may be input, or information may be selected from a plurality of options.

  Generating an input form means determining the arrangement of the input form, determining the type or mode of the input form, making the input form displayable on the reservation information input screen G5, or the reservation information input screen. This is to describe a tag indicating an input form in the display data of G5.

  In the first embodiment, the display control unit 204 generates and displays an input form in which overlapping input items are combined into one for each user. For example, if the input items are duplicated in n (n is an integer of 2 or more) services, the display control unit 204 displays only one input form of the input items, instead of displaying n input forms. Let It can be said that the one input form is a shared input form for n services.

  The number of input forms per user may be determined according to the number of input items. For example, if there is only one input item, there will be one input form per user, and if there are k input items (k is an integer of 2 or more), there will be k input forms per user. It becomes an individual. The display control unit 204 associates and displays each of the plurality of users and at least one input form.

  For the input items that are not duplicated, the display control unit 204 displays only one input form of the input item. Since the input item is not duplicated, it is not shared by n services, and can be said to be an input form dedicated to the service associated with the input item. The display control unit 204 generates the display data DT of the reservation information input screen G5 and transmits the display data DT to the applicant terminal 10.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a data storage example of the display data DT of the reservation information input screen G5. In FIG. 9, the data storage example is shown in a table format for easy understanding, but the display data DT may be any data for displaying a screen on the applicant terminal 10, for example, HTML data or XML data. It is possible to apply various types of data such as.

  Since the reservation information input screen G5 has contents corresponding to the contents of the travel car, the display control unit 204 generates the display data DT of the reservation information input screen G5 based on the travel car data. In other words, the display control unit 204 determines the layout of the reservation information input screen G5 based on the travel car data.

  For example, the display control unit 204 refers to the travel car data and identifies the number of users of the service added to the travel car. The display control unit 204 assigns titles to the services identified by the service identifying unit 202 by the number of users. The title is a name such as "Adult 1", "Adult 2", "Child 1" displayed on the reservation information input screen G5. The display control unit 204 gives the title, the item name, and the identification information of the input form to each user, and generates the display data DT. The input form identification information is information for identifying the input form in the reservation information input screen G5, and is the name of the input form. The identification information of the input form may be issued according to an arbitrary rule.

  Note that the display control unit 204 stores, in the display data DT, an item for which a calculation formula is defined by associating the calculation formula with the input form of the item. For example, when the “birth date” item and the “age category” item are specified, the display control unit 204 displays the calculation formula for calculating the “age category” from the “birth date” as display data. Store in DT. Further, for example, when the “birth date” item and the “full age” item are specified, the display control unit 204 displays a calculation formula for calculating the “full age” from the “birth date” in the display data DT. To store.

  The display data DT may include a script in which a predetermined command is described, or the script may be managed separately from the display data DT and the script may be executed by external call. For example, the above formula may be described in the script, or the title, item name, and identification information of the input form shown in the display data DT may be described.

  The information included in the display data DT is not limited to the above example. The display data DT need only include information for displaying the reservation information input screen G5, and may include, for example, information such as the service ID and service name of the service to be reserved.

  Further, the arrangement order of the input forms may be set in order of name or randomly, but in the first embodiment, the display control unit 204 displays the input form of each input item for the user having a plurality of input items. , Are displayed based on a predetermined priority of each input item.

  The priority order is the arrangement order on the reservation information input screen G5, and is the arrangement order or display order of the input forms. In the first embodiment, since the input forms are arranged vertically, the higher the rank, the higher the rank, and the lower the rank, the lower the rank. Note that when displaying input forms side by side, the left side may have a higher rank and the right side may have a lower rank, or the right side may have a higher rank and the left side may have a higher rank. The rank may be lower.

  The priority order is set in the database storage unit 200. In the example of FIG. 5, the name is the highest, and the priority order is determined in the order of birth date, sex, height, and age group. The display control unit 204 determines the order of the input form of each input item based on the priority order defined in the database storage unit 200. That is, the display control unit 204 determines the layout of the input form of each input item such that the numerical value indicating the priority of each input item is in ascending order.

  In the first embodiment, since there is an input item that can be calculated from “date of birth” such as “age category”, the display control unit 204 has information generated based on information input to other input items. Generate and display the input form in which is input. In other words, the display control unit 204 generates and displays the input form in which the information input in the other input items is diverted. Here, the information input to the other input items is not used as it is, but the information to be input is calculated based on the information input to the other input items.

  As described above, the display control unit 204 stores the calculation formula required for the calculation in the display data DT in association with the input form. If there is a relationship between "age category" and "date of birth", the formula for calculating the age group based on the current date and time of birth and the category to which the age group belongs among multiple categories is displayed in the input form. Associated. It is assumed that this calculation formula is stored in the database storage unit 200 in advance.

[1-3-2. Functions implemented on the applicant terminal]
In the applicant terminal 10, the data storage unit 100 and the display control unit 101 are realized. These are examples of data storage means and display control means, respectively.

[Data storage]
The data storage unit 100 is realized mainly by the storage unit 12. The data storage unit 100 stores data necessary for displaying the reservation information input screen G5. Here, a case where the data storage unit 100 stores the display data DT will be described. Upon receiving the display data DT from the server 20, the applicant terminal 10 records the display data DT in the data storage unit 100. The data storage example of the display data DT is as described above.

  The data stored in the data storage unit 100 is not limited to the above example. For example, the data storage unit 100 may store the applicant ID of the applicant who operates the applicant terminal 10. Further, for example, the data storage unit 100 may store travel car data. In this case, it is assumed that the travel car data in the data storage unit 100 and the travel car data in the applicant database DB2 are consistent with each other.

[Display controller]
The display control unit 101 is realized mainly by the control unit 11. The display control unit 101 displays the reservation information input screen G5 on the display unit 15 based on the display data DT. For example, the display control unit 101 displays the reservation information input by the applicant in each input form on the reservation information input screen G5. Further, for example, the display control unit 101 executes the script described in the display data DT, and generates the reservation information based on the reservation information input to the other input items. Here, since the calculation formula is stored in the "age category" of the display data DT, the display control unit 101 calculates the calculation formula when the birth date is input in the "date of birth" input form F52. Based on, the age group is acquired and displayed on the input form F53.

[1-4. Processing executed in the first embodiment]
FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of processing executed in the reception system S. The processing illustrated in FIG. 10 is executed by the control units 11 and 21 operating according to the programs stored in the storage units 12 and 22, respectively. The processing described below is an example of processing executed by the functional blocks shown in FIG.

  Here, it is assumed that the applicant has added a plurality of services to the travel car, and the storage unit 12 of the applicant terminal 10 stores the travel car data. The applicant terminal 10 displays the travel car screen G4 (FIG. 4) on the display unit 15 based on the travel car data. The process shown in FIG. 10 is executed when the button B41 on the travel car screen G4 is selected.

  As shown in FIG. 10, first, in the applicant terminal 10, the control unit 11 transmits the travel car data stored in the storage unit 12 to the server 20 (S101). When data is transmitted from the applicant terminal 10 to the server 20, the applicant ID stored in the storage unit 12 is also transmitted.

  In the server 20, the control unit 21 receives the travel car data (S102). Since the service IDs of the plurality of services selected by the applicant are stored in the travel car data, here, by receiving the travel car data, it is possible to accept the selection of the plurality of services by the applicant. Become. The transmission of the travel car data in S101 may be omitted. In this case, in S102, the control unit 21 refers to the travel car data stored in the travel car database.

  The control unit 21 identifies the service used by each of the plurality of users based on the travel car data (S103). In S103, the control unit 21 identifies the service used by each user based on the combination of the service ID and the number of users stored in the travel car data.

  The control unit 21 identifies the input item of the service used by each user based on the travel car data and the service database DB1 (S104). In S104, the control unit 21 refers to the service ID record stored in the travel car data in the service database DB1. The control unit 21 identifies the input item of the service added to the travel car based on the record.

  The control unit 21 inputs, based on the service identified in S103 and the input items identified in S104, the duplicated input items into one for each user based on the priority of each input item. A form is generated (S105). In S105, the control unit 21 compares the names of the input items specified in S104, and determines whether or not there are duplicate input items specified in S104. For the input items determined to overlap, the control unit 21 sets one input form instead of setting a plurality of input forms. The control unit 21 determines the arrangement of the input forms in one user so that the input items are arranged in descending order of priority, and generates the display data DT of the reservation information input screen G5. Further, when the “date of birth” and the “age category” are included as input items, the control unit 21 includes the calculation formula in the display data DT. Then, when the "birth date" input form is input, the control unit 21 generates a script for calculating the age group based on the calculation formula and includes it in the display data DT.

  The control unit 21 transmits the display data DT generated in S105 to the applicant terminal 10 (S106).

  Upon receiving the display data DT, the applicant terminal 10 causes the control unit 11 to display the reservation information input screen G5 on the display unit 15 (S107). The control unit 11 receives the reservation information input by the applicant based on the detection signal of the operation unit 14 (S108). The reservation information input by the applicant is temporarily recorded in the storage unit 12. When the "birth date" input form is input, the control unit 11 executes the script, calculates the "age classification" value, and inputs the value into the input form.

  The control unit 11 determines whether or not the button B54 is selected based on the detection signal of the operation unit 14 (S109). If it is not determined that the button B54 is selected (S109; N), the process returns to S108.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the button B54 is selected (S109; button), the control unit 11 determines whether the reservation information is input to all the input forms in the reservation information input screen G5 (S110). Since each input form and the input reservation information are held in association with the storage unit 12, in S110, the control unit 11 determines whether there is an input form to which no reservation information is associated. To judge.

  When it is determined that there is an input form in which reservation information has not been input (S110; N), a predetermined error message is displayed, and the process returns to S108. In this case, the reservation information is repeatedly input by the applicant until the reservation information is input to all the input forms.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that all the reservation information has been input (S110; Y), the control unit 11 transmits the reservation information input in each input form to the server 20 (S111). Since the reservation information input in each input form is stored in the storage unit 12, the control unit 11 transmits the reservation information stored in the storage unit 12 to the server 20.

  In the server 20, when the reservation information is received, the control unit 21 executes the reservation process for each service added to the travel car (S114), and this process ends. In S8, the control unit 21 transmits the reservation information to the service provider of each service to be reserved. As described above, the control unit 21 may transmit only the attribute information such as gender without transmitting the name for services that do not need to transmit the name.

  According to the reception system S of the first embodiment, when a plurality of services are selected by the applicant, an input form capable of suppressing duplicated input of duplicated input items between services is generated and displayed on the reservation information input screen G5. By displaying the same, the applicant is prevented from inputting the same information many times, and the number of times of input is reduced. Therefore, when applying for a plurality of services, the input work of the applicant can be reduced. Moreover, since it is not necessary to input the same information many times, it is not necessary for the applicant terminal 10 to execute the acceptance processing of the same information, and the processing load on the applicant terminal 10 can be reduced.

  Further, by generating an input form in which duplicate input items are grouped into one for each user and displaying the input form on the reservation information input screen G5, the number of input forms can be reduced, and when applying for a plurality of services. Moreover, the time and effort of the applicant can be effectively reduced. Further, when the screen is small like a smartphone, the display space is limited, but by reducing the number of input forms, the display space can be validated and a user-friendly user interface can be provided. Moreover, since it is not necessary to generate a plurality of input forms for inputting the same information, the number of input forms to be generated can be reduced and the processing load of the server 20 can be reduced. Moreover, since the amount of information of the input form included in the display data DT can be reduced by reducing the number of input forms for inputting the same information, the communication load of the network N and the memory usage of the applicant terminal 10 are reduced. be able to.

  Further, the input form of each input item is displayed based on the priority order, and the input form of important contents can be input first. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the applicant from making an erroneous input and prevent the reservation from being made with incorrect contents.

  In addition, by generating an input form in which information generated based on the information input in other input items is generated, for example, reservation information can be input without inputting "age category". Even if the information of other input items cannot be used as it is, the information can be converted into information according to the service format. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the number of inputs by the applicant, prevent erroneous inputs, and provide a user interface that is easy to use. Further, since the number of times the applicant inputs is reduced and the number of times the applicant terminal 10 accepts the input is reduced, the processing load on the applicant terminal 10 can be reduced. Moreover, since the above-described processing is executed by the script executed on the applicant terminal 10 side, the processing load of the server 20 can be reduced when the information of other input items is diverted.

  Further, in the first embodiment, a case has been described in which all of the plurality of users use all of the plurality of services, but even in such a case, it is possible to reduce the labor of the input by the applicant. .

  In the first embodiment, a case has been described in which all of the plurality of users use all of the three or more services, but even in such a case, all of the plurality of users have three or more services. When using all of the above services, it is possible to reduce the time and effort required by the applicant to input.

[2. Embodiment 2]
Next, an example of the second embodiment of the reception system S (hereinafter referred to as the second embodiment) will be described. In the first embodiment, the input form in which the duplicated input items are combined is explained, but the input form capable of suppressing the duplicated input is not limited to the example of the first embodiment. For example, an input form that diverts information input in duplicated input items of another service may correspond to an input form that can prevent duplicated input. Hereinafter, the reception system S of the second embodiment will be described. In addition, in the second embodiment, the description of the same contents as the first embodiment will be omitted.

[2-1. Overview of Reception System of Second Embodiment]
FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of the reservation information input screen G5 of the second embodiment. The contents of the travel basket are the same as those described with reference to FIG. 4 of the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 11, the reservation information input screen G5 of the second embodiment displays an input form for inputting reservation information of each user for each service added to the travel car.

  In the display area A60, an input form for inputting reservation information of an airline ticket is displayed. The display area A60 is a display area A60A for inputting reservation information of a first user, a display area A60B for inputting reservation information of a second user, and reservation information of a third user. The display area A60C for performing is included. That is, in the display area A60, the area for displaying the input form is divided for each airline ticket user.

  In the display area A60A, input forms F600A, F601A, and F602A for inputting each of the first user's name, date of birth, and sex are displayed. Further, in the display area A60B, input forms F600B, F601B, F602B for inputting the name, date of birth, and sex of the second user are displayed. Further, in the display area A60C, input forms F600C, F601C, F602C for inputting the name, the date of birth, and the sex of the third user are displayed.

  An input form for inputting hotel reservation information is displayed in the display area A61. The display area A61 is a display area A61A for inputting reservation information of a first user, a display area A61B for inputting reservation information of a second user, and reservation information of a third user. The display area A61C for performing is included. That is, in the display area A61, the area for displaying the input form is divided for each user of the hotel.

  In the display area A61A, input forms F610A, F611A, and F612A for inputting each of the first user's name, date of birth, and sex are displayed. Further, in the display area A61B, input forms F610B, F611B, F612B for inputting each of the name, the date of birth, and the sex of the second user are displayed. Further, in the display area A61C, input forms F610C, F611C, and F612C for inputting the name, the date of birth, and the sex of the third user are displayed.

  In the display area A62, an input form for inputting activity reservation information is displayed. The display area A62 is a display area A62A for inputting reservation information of a first user, a display area A62B for inputting reservation information of a second user, and reservation information of a third user. The display area A62C for performing is included. That is, in the display area A62, the area for displaying the input form is divided for each user of the activity.

  In the display area A62A, input forms F620A, F621A, F622A for inputting each name, height, and age of the first user are displayed. Further, in the display area A62B, input forms F620B, F621B, F622B for inputting each of the name, height, and age of the second user are displayed. Further, in the display area A62C, input forms F620C, F621C, F622C for inputting each of the name, height, and age of the third user are displayed.

  In the following, the input forms F600A to F600C will be simply referred to as the input form F600 unless it is necessary to distinguish them. Similarly, other input forms shown in FIG. 11 may be simply referred to as input forms F601, F602, F610, F611, F612, F620, F621, F622 by omitting the alphabetical symbols at the end.

  The applicant can make a service reservation by inputting the reservation information in each of the input forms in the display areas A60 to A62 and selecting the button B63. The reservation information may be input in any order, but here, the case where the reservation information is input in order from the top of the reservation information input screen G5 will be described as an example.

  12 to 14 are diagrams showing how reservation information is input. It should be noted that, in FIGS. 12 to 14, reference numerals that do not need to be referred to are omitted. As shown in the reservation information input screen G5A of FIG. 12, the applicant inputs the text indicating the name of the first user of the airline ticket into the input form F600A.

  For example, when "Yamada Taro" is input as the name of the first user, the corresponding name is input to each of the input form F610A and the input form F610A as shown in the reservation information input screen G5B. That is, the name of the first user of the airline ticket is used as the name of the first user of the hotel and the name of the first user of the activity. As a result, the name of the first user would normally have to be input three times, but the reservation information input screen G5 of the second embodiment requires only one input.

  Next, as shown in the reservation information input screen G5C of FIG. 13, the applicant inputs a numerical value indicating the birth date of the first user of the airline ticket into the input form F601A. For example, when "April 8, 1980" is input as the birth date of the first user, the birth date is input in the input form F611A as shown in the reservation information input screen G5D. That is, the date of birth of the first user of the airline ticket is used as the date of birth of the first user of the hotel. Further, as described in the first embodiment, since the age group can be calculated from the date of birth, the age group of the first user is automatically input as shown in the input form F622A of the reservation information input screen G5D. It As a result, originally, the birth date of the first user must be input twice and the age group must also be input. On the reservation information input screen G5 of the second embodiment, only one input is required. It is like this.

  Next, as shown in the reservation information input screen G5E of FIG. 14, the applicant inputs the gender of the first user of the airline ticket in the input form F602A. For example, when "male" is input as the gender of the first user, the gender is input to the input form F612A as shown in the reservation information input screen G5F. That is, the gender of the first user of the airline ticket is used as the gender of the first user of the hotel. As a result, originally, the sex of the first user has to be input twice, but the reservation information input screen G5 of the second embodiment requires only one input.

  Similarly, for the second user and the third user, the information on the name, date of birth, and sex entered in the airline ticket is diverted to the hotel and the activity. In addition, although the case where the applicant inputs the reservation information of the airline ticket first has been described above, the applicant may first input the reservation information of the hotel or the activity. In this case as well, the reservation information input by the applicant is diverted to another service. For example, when the applicant inputs the first name of the hotel in the input form F610A, the name is diverted to each of the input form F600A and the input form F620A.

  As described above, the reception system S diverts the information input to the overlapping input items of other services when the input items of the plurality of services added by the applicant to the travel car overlap. , When applying for multiple services, the applicant's input work is reduced. Hereinafter, the details of the configuration will be described.

[2-2. Functions realized in the second embodiment]
The functional blocks of the second embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment (FIG. 6), but the details of the display control unit 204 are different from those of the first embodiment. The display control unit 204 according to the second embodiment generates and displays an input form in which the information input to the overlapping input items of other services is diverted for each service.

  To divert is to use the already input information. In other words, the diversion is to input information already input to one input form to another input form as it is. For example, if the input item of the first service and the input item of the second service are duplicated, the reservation information input to the first input form of the input item of the first service is , Is used for the second input form of the input item of the second service.

  The display control unit 204 of the second embodiment generates the display data DT and transmits it to the applicant terminal 10 as in the first embodiment, but the data structure of the display data DT is different from that of the first embodiment.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a data storage example of the display data DT of the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 15, in the second embodiment, since the input form is displayed for each service, the display data DT stores the input form information for each service. For example, the display data DT stores a service ID, a service name, and input form information.

  For example, the display control unit 204 specifies the service ID, the number of users, and the input item of the service added to the travel car, as in the first embodiment. The display control unit 204 gives titles as many as the number of users, gives titles, item names, and identification information of the input form to each service, and generates display data DT. Note that the items for which the calculation formulas are defined are similar to the first embodiment in that the calculation formulas are associated.

  Further, for example, the script of the second embodiment may describe the service ID, the service name, the title, the item name, and the identification information of the input form shown in the display data DT. Further, for example, the script may describe a command to acquire the information input in one input form and input the information in another input form. In other words, the script may include a command that diverts information between input forms of overlapping input items (for example, the same item name). These commands are an example of the commands described in the script, and any command may be described in the script.

  The display control unit 101 of the applicant terminal 10 executes the script of the display data DT and executes the process of diverting the information input to the overlapping input items. For example, when the reservation information is input to the input form of a certain service, the display control unit 101 determines, based on the display data DT, whether or not there are input items that overlap with other services. The display control unit 101 diverts the input reservation information when there are overlapping input items.

  For example, when the user's name is input to the “name” input form of a certain service, the display control unit 101 determines whether or not the “name” input form exists in another service. . The display control unit 101 diverts the entered name of the user when the input form of “name” exists in another service.

[2-3. Processing executed in the second embodiment]
FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing an example of processing executed in the reception system S of the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 16, in the second embodiment, some of the processing is the same as that of the first embodiment, but the processing of generating the display data DT and the like are different from those of the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 15, S201 to S204 are the same as S101 to S104, respectively. When the input item of each service is specified in S204, the control unit 21 determines, for each service, an input item in which another service is duplicated, based on the service specified in S203 and the input item specified in S204. The display data DT of the reservation information input screen G5 is generated so that the input form that diverts the information input to is displayed (S205).

  In S205, the control unit 21 compares the names of the input items specified in S204, and determines whether or not there are duplicate input items specified in S204. For the input items determined to overlap, the control unit 21 writes a script so as to divert the input information to each other, and generates the display data DT of the reservation information input screen G5. Further, when the “date of birth” and the “age category” are included as input items, the control unit 21 includes the calculation formula in the display data DT. Then, when the "birth date" input form is input, the control unit 21 generates a script for calculating the age group based on the calculation formula and includes it in the display data DT.

  The subsequent S206 to S208 are the same as S106 to S108. When the input of the reservation information is accepted in S208, the control unit 21 determines whether or not there are overlapping input items (S209). The process of S209 is executed by the script of the display data DT. In S209, the control unit 21 determines whether or not there is an input item having the same name as the input item for which the reservation information has been input.

  When it is determined that the duplicated input items exist (S209; Y), the control unit 21 diverts the reservation information input in S208 to the input form of the duplicated input items (S210). The process of S210 is executed by the script of the display data DT. In S210, the control unit 21 inputs the reservation information into the input form of the input item having the same name as the input item to which the reservation information is input. The subsequent S211 to S214 are the same as S109 to S112.

  According to the reception system S of the second embodiment, an application is created for each service by generating an input form in which information input in overlapping input items of another service is diverted and displaying it on the reservation information input screen G5. Since it is possible to prevent the person from inputting the same information many times and the number of times of input is reduced, it is possible to reduce the time and effort for the applicant to input when applying for a plurality of services. Moreover, since it is not necessary to input the same information many times, it is not necessary for the applicant terminal 10 to execute the acceptance processing of the same information, and the processing load on the applicant terminal 10 can be reduced. In addition, since the script executed on the applicant terminal 10 side executes the process of diverting the input information, the processing load of the server 20 can be reduced when the input information is diverted.

[3. Modification]
The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above. Modifications can be made as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  (1) For example, the order of services on the reservation information input screen G5 of the second embodiment may be any order, but if the number of users differs depending on the service, the applicant makes a reservation in order from the top. Since information is often input, it is possible to input data more efficiently by arranging in order of the number of users. When the number of users differs depending on the service, the applicant is allowed to specify which service is used by which user, as in a modification (3) described later.

  The display control unit 204 of this modification may display the input forms of each service in descending order of the number of users. That is, the display control unit 204 sets the arrangement order of the input forms of each service so that the number of users is in descending order.

  The arrangement order is the arrangement order or display order of the input forms. Here, since the input forms are arranged vertically, the order is higher at the top and lower at the bottom. If you want to display the input forms side by side, the left side may be first and the right side may be later, or the right side may be earlier and the left side may be later. The order may be later.

  Setting the sort order means determining the sort order, displaying the input form of each service arranged based on the decided sort order, or making a reservation in which the input form of each service is arranged in the decided sort order. This is to generate the display data DT of the information input screen G5. For example, if the number of airline tickets used is three, the number of hotels used is two, and the number of activities used is five, the display control unit 204 sets the order of activities, airline tickets, and hotels. Set the order of input forms for each service.

  According to the modified example (1), by setting the arrangement order of the input forms of each service in descending order of the number of users, it is possible to input a large amount of reservation information at an earlier stage. Therefore, the input by the applicant can be made efficient, and a user-friendly user interface can be provided. Since the input by the applicant becomes more efficient, the number of times the applicant terminal 10 accepts the input is reduced, so that the processing load on the applicant terminal 10 can be reduced.

  (2) Further, for example, in the second embodiment, the display control unit 204 may display the input forms of each service in descending order of the number of input items. The display control unit 204 specifies the input item of each service and acquires the number of input items of each service as described in the embodiment. The display control unit 204 sets the arrangement order of the input forms of each service so that the acquired input items are in descending order.

  For example, if there are three input items for an airline ticket, five input items for a hotel, and four people are used for an activity, the display control unit 204 sets the order of the hotel, the activity, and the airline ticket. Set the order of input forms for each service.

  According to the modified example (2), by setting the arrangement order of the input forms of each service in order of the number of input items, it is possible to input information of many items at an early stage. Therefore, the input by the applicant can be made efficient, and a user-friendly user interface can be provided. Since the input by the applicant becomes more efficient, the number of times the applicant terminal 10 accepts the input is reduced, so that the processing load on the applicant terminal 10 can be reduced.

  (3) Further, for example, in the embodiment 1-2, the case where the number of users of each service is the same as each other has been described, but the number of users may be different depending on the service. In this case, the applicant may specify which user uses which service.

  17 to 18 are diagrams showing how an applicant specifies a service to be used by each user. Here, the case where the number of passengers of the airline ticket and the hotel is three and the number of passengers of the activity is two will be described. In this case, it is not possible for the system side to specify which of the three users will use the activity, and thus the user may be designated on the reservation information input screen G5.

  As shown in FIG. 17, on the reservation information input screen G5, it is possible to specify which service to use for each user. The display control unit 204 generates the display data of the reservation information input screen G5 of FIG. 17 based on the services stored in the travel car data and the number of users of each service. The number of users is the maximum number of users of the services added to the travel car data. For example, in the display area A70A, an input form F71A for inputting the name of the first user and an input form F72A for inputting the service used by the first user are displayed.

  Further, for example, in the display area A70B, an input form F71B for inputting the name of the second user and an input form F72B for inputting the service used by the second user are displayed. Further, for example, in the display area A70C, an input form F71C for inputting the name of the third user and an input form F72C for inputting the service used by the third user are displayed. Note that, hereinafter, the display areas A70A to A70C are simply referred to as the display area A70 unless it is necessary to distinguish them. Similarly, the input forms F71A to F71C and F72A to F72C may be simply referred to as the input forms F71 and F72.

  As shown in FIG. 18, the applicant inputs the name of each user into the input form F71 and the service used by each user into the input form F72. In the example of FIG. 18, the first user “Yamada Taro” uses the airline ticket and the hotel, and does not use the activity. The second user, "Yamada Ryoko," uses flights, hotels, and activities. The third user, "Yamada Kazuo," uses airline tickets, hotels, and activities.

  When the applicant selects the button B73, the reservation information input screen G5 is switched to input the input items other than the name. This screen may have the layout as in the first embodiment or the layout as in the second embodiment.

  FIG. 19 is a diagram showing an example of the reservation information input screen G5 of the modified example (3). FIG. 19 shows the reservation information input screen G5 having the layout described in the first embodiment. The display control unit 204 identifies the input item of each service as in the first embodiment, and based on the service of each user designated by the applicant and the name of each user input by the applicant, The display data of the reservation information input screen G5 of FIG. 19 is generated. As shown in FIG. 19, since the name of each user has already been input, the name input form is not displayed here. The name input form may be displayed to correct erroneous entry of the entered name.

  In the display area A80A, input forms F81A and F82A for inputting the birth date and sex of the first user are displayed. The input forms F81A and F82A are the same as the input forms F52A and F53A described in the first embodiment. Since the first user “Yamada Taro” does not use the activity, the input form for inputting each height and age group is not displayed. That is, the input forms corresponding to the input forms F54A and F55A described in the first embodiment are not displayed.

  In the display area A80B, input forms F81B to F84B for inputting each of the birth date, gender, height, and age of the second user are displayed. The input forms F81B to F84B are the same as the input forms F52B to F55B described in the first embodiment.

  In the display area A80C, input forms F81C to F84C for inputting each of the birth date, sex, height, and age of the third user are displayed. The input forms F81C to F84C are the same as the input forms F52C to F55C described in the first embodiment. The button B85 is similar to the button B56 described in the first embodiment.

  FIG. 20 is a diagram showing an example of the reservation information input screen G5 of the modification example (3). FIG. 20 shows the reservation information input screen G5 having the layout described in the second embodiment. The display control unit 204 identifies the input item of each service as in the second embodiment, and based on the service of each user designated by the applicant and the name of each user input by the applicant, The display data of the reservation information input screen G5 of FIG. 20 is generated. As shown in FIG. 20, since the name of each user has already been input, the name input form is not displayed here. The name input form may be displayed to correct erroneous entry of the entered name.

  Similar to the display area A60 of the second embodiment, the display area A90 is divided into areas for inputting reservation information for each airline ticket user, and includes display areas A90A to A90C. For example, in the display areas A90A to A90C, input forms F900A to F900C for entering the date of birth of each user of the airline ticket and input forms F901A to F901C for entering the gender of each user of the airline ticket. And are displayed.

  Similar to the display area A61 of the second embodiment, the display area A91 is divided into areas for inputting reservation information for each hotel user, and includes display areas A91A to A91C. For example, in the display areas A91A to A91C, input forms F910A to F910C for entering the date of birth of each user of the hotel, and input forms F911A to F911C for entering the gender of each user of the hotel, Is displayed.

  Similar to the display area A62 of the second embodiment, the display area A92 is divided into areas for inputting reservation information for each user of the activity, and includes display areas A92A and A92B. However, unlike the second embodiment, the first user “Yamada Taro” does not use the activity, and therefore the area for inputting the reservation information of the user is not displayed. For example, in the display areas A92A and A92C, input forms F920A and F920B for inputting the height of each user of the activity and input forms F921A and F921C for inputting the age group of each user of the activity are displayed. It

  FIG. 21 is a functional block diagram of the modified example (3). As shown in FIG. 21, in the modified example (3), the designation receiving unit 205 is realized in addition to the functions described in the embodiment 1-2. The designation receiving unit 205 is realized mainly by the control unit 21. The designation receiving unit 205 receives the designation of the service used by each user by the applicant.

  In the present modification, since the designation receiving unit 205 is realized in the server 20, the designation receiving unit 205 receives from the applicant terminal 10 information indicating which service each user uses. For example, the applicant terminal 10 transmits, to the server 20, information indicating the combination of the name of each user specified on the reservation information input screen G5 and the service to be used. The designation receiving unit 205 receives designation of the service used by each user by receiving the information.

  The service specifying unit 202 of the present modification specifies the service used by each user designated by the applicant. The service identifying unit 202 identifies the service based on the information received from the applicant terminal 10 and indicating the service used by each user. For example, the applicant terminal 10 transmits information indicating the combination of the name of each user specified in the reservation information input screen G5 and the service to be used, to the server 20, so the service specifying unit 202 refers to the information. Then, the service used by each user is specified.

  According to the modified example (3), by specifying the service used by each user designated by the applicant, even if the number of users varies depending on the service, the input items that are duplicated between the services An input form capable of suppressing duplicated input can be generated, and the applicant's input work can be reduced.

  (4) Further, for example, the above modified examples may be combined.

  Further, for example, the scene in which the reception system S is used in the travel reservation service has been described, but it may be used in any other service. For example, the reception system S may be used for an insurance application service. In this case, the insurance product corresponds to the service, and the applicant inputs the name and attribute information of the insurance user. In the insurance application service, an input form capable of suppressing duplicated input of duplicated input items may be generated and displayed.

  Also, for example, the reception system S may be used for a ticket sales service at a concert, an event, or the like. In this case, the ticket corresponds to the service, and the applicant inputs the name and attribute information of the user of the ticket. In the ticket sales service, an input form capable of suppressing duplicate input of duplicate input items may be generated and displayed.

  Further, for example, the reception system S may be used for an event reservation service such as a seminar. In this case, the event corresponds to the service, and the applicant inputs the names and attribute information of the participants of the event. In the event reservation service, an input form capable of suppressing duplicated input of duplicated input items may be generated and displayed.

  Further, for example, the functions described as being realized by the server 20 may be realized by the applicant terminal 10. For example, the selection receiving unit 201 may be realized in the applicant terminal 10. In this case, the selection receiving unit 201 is realized mainly by the control unit 11. The selection receiving unit 201 of the applicant terminal 10 receives the selection of a plurality of services by the applicant based on the detection signal of the operation unit 14. Further, for example, the service specifying unit 202 may be realized in the applicant terminal 10. In this case, the service specifying unit 202 is realized mainly by the control unit 11. The service identification unit 202 of the applicant terminal 10 identifies the service used by each user based on the detection signal of the operation unit 14.

  Further, for example, the input item specifying unit 203 may be realized in the applicant terminal 10. In this case, the input item identification unit 203 is realized mainly by the control unit 11. The input item identification unit 203 is realized mainly by the control unit 11. The input item specifying unit 203 of the applicant terminal 10 specifies the input item by inquiring the server 20 about the input item of each service. Further, for example, the display control unit 101 of the applicant terminal 10 may generate the display data DT of the reservation information input screen G5.

  Alternatively, for example, the data described as being stored in the database storage unit 200 may be stored in a database server different from the server 20, or may be stored in a database server outside the reception system S. Good. Similarly, the data described as being stored in the data storage unit 100 may be stored in a computer different from the applicant terminal 10 or may be stored in an information storage medium external to the applicant terminal 10. Good.
