Description

The disclosure herein relates to reservation management devices, methods and programs.

When a user uses an activity provided by a golf course or the like, the user reserves the use of the golf course or the like. A business operator such as a golf course prepares a frame such as a date for playing and a time zone for starting playing, and accepts reservations from users.

In order to facilitate the reservation of such golf courses, there is an example in which a reservation management site for reserving the play of each golf course is provided to the user via the Internet. The reservation management site provides users with a function to search for information such as the location of each golf course and play fees. In addition, the reservation management site provides the user with a function of reserving play at the golf course.

For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2016-186807 (Patent Document 1) states that "a round (play) at a golf course needs to be performed by at least two people, so it is necessary to make a golf reservation by two or more people. , "A service is provided on the website that allows even one player to make a golf reservation. This service solicits golf reservations from unspecified players and runs at least by the specified deadline (for example, 3 days before the play date). We accept reservations on the condition that the number of golfers is reached. "," One-person golf reservations will be automatically canceled if the minimum number of golfers is not reached by the specified deadline, leaving players dissatisfied. The technology to deal with "is described.

The rental car information 287 indicates information on a rental car service (service for renting a mobile body) that can be used by the user. Details will be described later.

The control unit 203 exerts the functions shown as various modules when the processor of the reservation management server 20 performs processing according to a program.

The operation content acquisition module 2041 acquires the operation content of the user of the terminal device 10 when the reservation management server 20 provides the terminal device 10 with an interface for accepting the user's operation by a browser or the like.

The reception control module 2042 controls a process in which the reservation management server 20 receives a signal from an external device according to a communication protocol.

The transmission control module 2043 controls a process in which the reservation management server 20 transmits a signal to an external device according to a communication protocol.

The reservation management module 2044 manages the execution status of various tasks to be executed by the reservation management server 20. Specifically, the reservation management module 2044 manages the reservation information 284 and performs a process for each user to reserve a play at the golf course.

For example, the reservation management module 2044 searches the golf course with reference to the golf course information 285 based on the search condition specified by the user. The reservation management module 2044, for example, receives from the user as a search condition the designation of the total amount of the usage fee for using the golf course and the travel cost required for moving to the golf course.

The reservation management module 2044 accepts the designation of information on the time when the user starts playing at the golf course as a condition for searching the golf course.

Further, the reservation management module 2044 accepts the designation of the departure time when the user departs from the user's location as a condition for searching the golf course. For example, travel time is estimated based on the travel path from the user's location to the location of the golf course, and based on the user's departure time and travel time (ie, the time that each golf course can be reached). It is possible to present to the user a frame (play start time) that can be reserved for the golf course. For example, depending on the departure time when the user departs from the location, it may not be possible to provide the user with a reservation frame that is difficult to arrive by the play start time at the golf course.

On the other hand, depending on the departure time when the user departs from the location, the user may arrive too early with respect to the play start time at the golf course. For example, even if the user arrives at the golf course, it may be necessary for the user to wait for a predetermined time (for example, one hour or more) until the play start time. Therefore, the reservation management module 2044 determines at the golf course even if the user departs at the departure time based on the departure time of the user, the travel time to the golf course, and the time when the play starts at the golf course. Information on available golf courses may be provided to the user when a predetermined condition is satisfied, such as when waiting for more than an hour is expected. For example, the reservation management module 2044 may determine a golf driving range within a certain distance from the movement route to the golf course as a target recommended to the user.

The reservation management module 2044 may provide information on the available driving range only when the predetermined condition is satisfied. Further, the reservation management module 2044 may provide information on the available driving range even if the predetermined condition is not satisfied. As a result, prior to the start of play at the golf course, it is possible for the user who wants to practice at the golf course to take measures such as advancing the departure time. The reservation management module 2044 specifies a recommended departure time when the user receives an operation to use the golf practice field prior to playing at the golf course, and displays the specified departure time to the user on the display 132 or the like. It may be presented. By doing so, the reservation management module 2044 considers the practice time at the golf course and the departure time when the user intends to practice at the golf course in advance prior to playing at the golf course. Recommended time can be presented. For example, it is possible to present the time that goes back to the travel time and the practice time at the golf practice field as the departure time of the user with respect to the play start time at the golf course.

Based on the traffic information database 286, the reservation management module 2044 acquires the prediction result of the traffic condition (congestion status) on the user's travel route for the date and time when the user wants to play at the golf course, and from the user's location. The travel time to the location of the golf course may be estimated. As a result, for example, when the number of search results based on the user's search conditions is less than or equal to a predetermined number, the user is presented with the ability to increase the reservable slots (number of search results) by advancing the departure time. be able to. For example, if the user departs earlier, the possibility of being involved in a traffic jam or the like is reduced, and as a result, it is expected that the options of the reservation frame that can be used by the user will increase.

As a search result, the reservation management module 2044 responds to the terminal device 10 with the usage fee for using the golf course and the movement cost required for the user to move to the golf course. Specifically, the reservation management module 2044 presents to the user information on the total amount of the usage fee and the travel cost, together with the information on the golf course. For example, the reservation management module 2044 sorts each golf course based on the total amount information and presents it to the user (for example, in ascending or descending order of total amount).

When the user uses a rental car, the reservation management module 2044 specifies the fuel cost based on the fuel consumption of the rentable vehicle type by the movement cost specifying module described later. The reservation management module 2044 acquires information on the total amount of the usage fee and the travel cost based on the fuel cost for each rentable vehicle type and the cost required to rent the vehicle type. The reservation management module 2044 presents the rental car rental plan to the user based on the total amount information. For example, the reservation management module 2044 presents the rental car rental plan to the user in a state where the vehicle type of the rental car is specified so that the total amount is low. For example, even if the rental fee of a fuel-efficient car model (hybrid car, etc.) is higher than that of other car models, the total rental fee and fuel cost may be lower than other car models depending on the distance traveled. .. It should be noted that the car that can be rented may not be specified by the user and may be fixed.

The reservation management module 2044 receives an operation of making a reservation for play at the golf course from the terminal device 10, updates the reservation information 284, and notifies the golf course server 30 of the update result of the reservation information 284.

The travel cost identification module 2045 is based on (i) the location information of each user shown in the golf user information 281 and the position information of each golf course shown in the golf course information 285, and each is according to a navigation algorithm. Identify the candidates for the movement route when the user moves to each golf course. Candidates for travel routes can be one or more. For example, the travel cost identification module 2045 specifies a travel route when a toll road is used and a travel route when the toll road is not used as candidates for the travel route.

In addition, the movement cost identification module is based on the designation of the position where each user is to be carried when the user is driving a moving body such as a car and moving to the golf course while carrying a plurality of users. May be specified. For example, the location of each user who plays golf may be different, and one user may drive to another user's location while heading for a golf course.

(Ii) The movement cost identification module 2045 acquires information on the movement distance when moving from the user's location to each golf course based on the candidate of the movement route, and moves by car or the like based on the movement distance. Get the cost (fuel cost) of. Here, the movement cost identification module 2045 acquires information on the type of the moving body (automobile, etc.) used by the user for movement (vehicle type, etc. of the automobile), and information on the fuel consumption set for the type of the moving body (vehicle type). For example, the fuel cost may be acquired based on the information on the mileage per liter of gasoline) and the information on the travel distance. For example, the amount of gasoline to be consumed is specified based on the travel distance when going back and forth from the user's location to the golf course location and the fuel consumption information, and the gasoline price (market price) information is acquired. By doing so, you can get the fuel cost. The travel cost identification module 2045 thus identifies the cost required for the user to travel to the golf course.

Here, when the user uses a rental car, the cost required for the user to move to the golf course may be specified, including the cost required for the user to rent the rental car.

The travel cost identification module 2045 is based on the cost required to use public transportation (railway, bus) when (iii) the user does not drive the moving body by himself / herself. Identify the cost of moving from location to golf course. For example, the cost from the user's location to the nearest station (bus or taxi fare), from the user's nearest station to the nearest station of the golf course, the fare when using public transportation such as railroad, from the nearest station of the golf course Identify the cost of moving a user based on the cost of moving to the location of the golf course (for example, free if using the bus service provided by the golf course, taxi fee if using a taxi, etc.) ..

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a process in which the terminal device 10 and the reservation management server 20 make a reservation for using the golf course as an activity in response to a user operation.

In step S651, the terminal device 10 receives an operation for accessing the reservation management server 20 from the user (for example, designating a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the website provided by the reservation management server 20), and the reservation management Access server 20. The terminal device 10 transmits information that identifies the user (user identification information) to the reservation management server 20. The terminal device 10 presents a website for reservation management, receives an operation for designating a date and time for playing golf, a play start time, and the like from a user, and transmits the operation to the reservation management server 20 as a search condition. The terminal device 10 receives an operation for designating the total amount of the golf course usage fee and the total travel cost to the golf course from the user and transmits the operation to the reservation management server 20.

In step S611, the reservation management server 20 identifies a movement route to each golf course based on the information on the location of the user and the information on the location of each golf course.

In step S613, the reservation management server 20 estimates the fuel cost based on the travel distance shown in the user's travel route to each golf course. When the travel route includes a toll road (expressway, etc.), the reservation management server 20 adds the usage fee of the toll road and calculates the cost required for the user to move to each golf course.

In step S615, the reservation management server 20 extracts a golf course that fits the range of the total amount specified by the user based on the vacancy information of the reservation frame of each golf course and each plan of the golf course reservation. The reservation management server 20 causes the terminal device 10 to present the total amount of the usage fee of each golf course and the travel cost to each golf course for the extracted golf course together with the information of each golf course. The reservation management server 20 causes the terminal device 10 to present information on the travel time to each golf course.

In step S655, the terminal device 10 presents the information received from the reservation management server 20 to the user on the display 132 or the like. For example, the terminal device 10 gives priority to the user from the golf course having the lowest total amount. The terminal device 10 receives an operation of designating a golf course and a reservation frame from a user and transmits the operation to the reservation management server 20.

In step S617, the reservation management server 20 executes the golf course reservation process according to the information of the reservation frame specified by the user, updates the reservation information 284, and transmits the reservation information to the golf course server 30. To do.

<Screen example>
FIG. 7 shows an example of a screen in a phase in which a user makes a reservation for a golf course in the terminal device 10.

As shown in the screen example (A), the terminal device 10 accepts a user to specify a search condition for searching a golf course. Corresponds to step S651 of FIG.

The terminal device 10 displays the search condition 132A on the display 132 and accepts the designation of the search condition from the user. For example, in the screen example (A), the user accepts the designation of the total amount of the golf course usage fee and the movement cost to the golf course (item "play fee + total movement cost designation"). In addition, the item "car model" accepts the designation of the car model used by the user to move to the golf course.

The terminal device 10 transmits the specified result of the user's search condition to the reservation management server 20 in response to the user's input operation to the search execution button 132B.

As shown in the screen example (B), the terminal device 10 displays the search result (information on the golf course and information on the frame in which the golf play can be reserved) to the user.

The terminal device 10 responds to the information received from the reservation management server 20 and displays the search condition 132C indicating the search condition specified by the user. The terminal device 10 displays the response result of the reservation management server 20 to the search condition in the search result 132D.

The search result 132D includes golf course information 132E that matches the search condition specified by the user, and an operation button 132F for making a reservation to the golf course.

Golf course information 132E is an example of search results, and includes golf course information, information on vacant slots reserved for the golf course, usage fees (play fees) required to play at the golf course, and the relevant golf course information. It shows information on the time required for a user to move to a golf course, information on the distance traveled, fuel costs, high-speed costs, and the like.

The operation button 132F is arranged in association with the golf course information 132E which is the search result, and in response to the input operation to the operation button 132F, the reservation process for the reserved empty frame associated with the operation button 132F is performed. Will be

The search result reading button 132H accepts an operation for displaying the result searched according to the user's search condition (132A) on the display 132 in addition to the result displayed on the screen.

In the illustrated example, a plurality of golf course reservation frames are presented to the user according to the search result of the user. For example, in the search result 132D, information on the number of search results is shown. The sort order designation button 132G is an area for accepting from the user the designation of conditions for sorting the search results of the user.

As shown in the screen example (C), when the user uses a rental car to play golf at a golf course, the reservation management server 20 includes the terminal device 10 including the rental car rental fee in the total cost. Present to the user of.

The terminal device 10 accepts from the user the designation to use the rental car in the search condition 132C. In the illustrated example, the vehicle type of the rental car is also shown in the search condition 132C.

The search result 132J is an example of the search result, and includes information on the rental car and information on the fuel consumption of the vehicle type of the rental car. The reservation management server 20 causes the terminal device 10 to display information on the golf course and information on the total amount including the cost of the rental car. The reservation management server 20 uses the rental fee of each car model of the rental car and the fuel consumption information of each car model as the basis for the car model in which the cost (rental fee and fuel cost) for traveling the user's travel route to the rental car is relatively low. Identify.

The rental button 132K is an area for accepting from the user the operation of making a reservation for the car model of the rental car shown in the search condition 132C. It should be noted that the operation of reserving the rental car and the operation of reserving the play of the golf course may be performed by inputting the rental button 132K. As a result, the operation for making a golf course reservation and a rental car reservation can be made even easier.

As shown in the screen example (D), the reservation management server 20 receives the designation of the time when the user departs from the location from the terminal device 10. The search condition 132C includes an item "departure time", in which the user can specify a time to depart from his / her own location.

The reservation management server 20 displays the search result 132L on the terminal device 10. The search result 132L indicates a reservation frame extracted according to the search condition 132C.

In the illustrated example, the departure time is "04:00", the travel time to the golf course "DDD" is "1.25 hours", and the play start time at the golf course "DDD" is "7:00". It is said that. Therefore, when the user departs at the departure time, a waiting time of one hour or more occurs until the play start time at the golf course.

The driving range search button 132M is an area for receiving an operation from the user to display a driving range (so-called driving range) in which the movement route from the user's departure point to the golf course location is in equilibrium. .. When there are a plurality of golf driving ranges within a certain distance from the movement route, the reservation management server 20 may present the user with the golf driving range closest to the golf course.

The traffic status display unit 132N is an area for the reservation management server 20 to notify the user of the day when the user plans to play, usually today, based on the history of the traffic information of the user's movement route. The reservation management server 20 specifies a time when the user is scheduled to travel on the travel route, and estimates the traffic congestion status at that time based on the traffic information database 286.

<Modification example>
(1) In the examples illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 7, it has been described that the fuel cost required to move the user's movement route is estimated by holding the fuel consumption information for each vehicle type of the rental car. Not limited to the case of a rental car, the reservation management server 20 accepts the designation of the type (vehicle type) of the moving body used by the user for movement, and the user moves the movement route by referring to the fuel consumption information of the type. It may be possible to estimate the fuel cost required to do so.

(2) An example of presenting a golf course and a golf course plan to the user according to the golf ability of the user has been described. Here, the golf ability of the user may be specified based on the actual record of the user playing the golf course, as in the item "golf play history" shown in the golf user information 281. The golf simulation service provided by the game server 40 may be specified based on the results played by the user.

(3) In the screen example (D) of FIG. 7, an example in which the prediction result of the traffic demand of the user's movement route is displayed is described, but the movement route is moved based on the result of the prediction of the traffic demand. It may be possible to estimate the travel time required for the above. For example, when traffic congestion is predicted depending on the time zone in which the user travels on the travel route, the travel time may be estimated in consideration of the house. Further, when traffic congestion is predicted on the movement route, the choice of the movement route from the departure place to the location of the golf course may be presented to a plurality of users and the selection may be accepted from the user. For example, a movement route with less congestion and a movement route with predicted congestion may be presented to the user as options.

(4) In the above example, an example of presenting to the user the total amount of information including the golf course usage fee and the travel cost together with the golf course information has been described. In addition to this, when there are a plurality of golf courses having the same (or similar) total amount for playing at the golf course, the golf course may be presented preferentially to the user according to the breakdown of the total amount. ..

For example, for golf courses where the total amount played at the golf course is the same or about the same (for example, within a certain range (for example, within a few percent of the standard amount) from the standard amount of the total amount). , The server 20 may preferentially present to the user the one with the higher usage fee. As a result, the user can reserve a golf course with a high usage fee (that is, a golf course where the quality of the golf course, hospitality, etc. is expected to be relatively high) within the total budget for playing golf. Will be easier.

Further, for golf courses having the same or the same total amount of play at the golf course, the server 20 may specify the golf course to be preferentially presented to the user based on the ratio of the usage fee and the travel cost. .. For example, the server 20 specifies a golf course in which the ratio of the usage fee to the total amount consisting of the usage fee and the travel cost is a certain value or more (for example, 65% or more) as a target of recommendation to the user. May be good. This makes it even easier for the user to reserve a golf course with good cost performance.

FIG. 8 shows another screen example in a phase in which the user makes a reservation for a golf course in the terminal device 10.

As shown in the screen example (A) of FIG. 8, the terminal device 10 presents the golf course search result to the user on the display 132. The terminal device 10 sorts the search results in the order of the total amount for the user to use the golf course. At this time, the terminal device 10 gives priority to the golf course having the highest usage fee and presents it to the user for the golf course having the same total amount. As shown in the screen example (A), the terminal device 10 displays the search result 132E1, the search result 132E2, and the search result 132E3 on the display 132 for the golf course having the same total amount as the golf course search result. There is. As shown in the figure, when the search results 132E1, 132E2, and 132E3 are compared, the search result 132E1 has the highest golf course usage fee.

Further, as shown in the screen example (A), the terminal device 10 associates the search results 132E1, 132E2, and 132E3 with the buttons 132F1, 132F2, and 132F3 for accepting the operation of reserving the golf course. To display.

The terminal device 10 receives an input operation from the user at the reception unit 132H1 for displaying another total golf course on the display 132.

As a result, the user can easily reserve a golf course with a high usage fee from among golf courses having the same total amount.

As shown in the screen example (B) of FIG. 8, the terminal device 10 presents the golf course search result to the user on the display 132. The terminal device 10 specifies a golf course recommended to the user based on the ratio of the usage fee and the travel cost for the golf course having the same total amount. As shown in the figure, the terminal device 10 presents the user with a golf course in which the ratio of the usage fee to the travel cost (that is, the ratio of the usage fee to the total amount) is a certain value or more. Compared with the screen example (A), in the screen example (B), the golf course to be recommended to the user is presented to the user as the search results 132E1 and E2 based on the ratio of the usage fee and the travel cost.

The terminal device 10 receives an input operation from the user at the reception unit 132H2 for extracting an other golf course whose usage fee accounts for a certain value or more in the total amount.

As a result, the user can easily reserve a golf course having a high usage fee ratio (that is, a golf course expected to have high cost performance) from among golf courses having the same total amount.

(5) In the above example, an example in which a golf practice field can be searched on the screen for making a reservation for a golf course is described. Here, the terminal device 10 provides an input operation reception unit for designating the user to practice at the golf practice field after leaving for the golf course and before the time to start playing at the golf course. It may be displayed on the display 132. The driving range may be provided in the golf course (for example, a driving range for driver shots, a driving range for bunker, a driving range for putter, etc.). In addition, the golf course may be open in the suburbs of the travel route from the departure point to the golf course.

At least one of the terminal device 10 and the server 20 sets the departure time and the practice field at which the user departs from the departure point when the user specifies to practice at the practice field before the start of play at the golf course. The time for starting golf play at the location of the golf course may be set based on the practice time required for use. The server 20 may search for a golf course by collating the set time with the availability of the golf course. For example, at least one of the terminal device 10 and the server 20 makes a reservation for using the golf course after the time required for moving to the golf course and the practice time at the driving range are added to the departure time. May be accepted.

(6) In addition to the above example, at least one of the terminal device 10 or the server 20 specifies a time when the user starts playing at the golf course, and the golf course is based on the specified time. You may also search for. Here, the movement route to each golf course is specified by the information of the departure place of the user and the information of the location of each golf course, and the user specifies the user at each golf course in consideration of the time required for the movement. It may be possible to notify the departure time for starting the play from the time when the play is started.

As a result, the user can select a golf course while comparing the departure times when playing golf at the golf course from the time specified by the user.
