  On the other hand, there is a reality that handing over gifts and souvenirs directly to the person who travels, or giving gifts directly as a hospitality to travelers during their stay, but the business of arranging gifts for travelers Does not exist. The present inventor has found that there is a potential demand for the person on the see-off side to give a gift to the traveling person. For example, you may want to give a gift to the newlyweds who went out for a honeymoon later, or you may want to express your welcoming feelings to an overseas key person staying at a hotel in Tokyo. Operators such as travel agencies and airlines are oriented toward doing business directly with their customers, and they do not even imagine such demand at all. It also contributes to

  However, in order to advance such a business, it is necessary to specify the delivery destination and time in detail, and it is difficult to give a gift to a traveler who moves one after another. At least, when using the conventional system as described above, it is necessary that the gift recipient is specified by a certain address and name. In the travel business, a system has been developed in which customers make travel reservations and payments via a network. Such a system is used by travelers themselves to make reservations. Three parties cannot give gifts to travelers.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and a gift brokerage system and a gift arrangement system that allow a third party to present a gift to a traveler who does not have a certain gift destination.

  Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In order to facilitate understanding of the description, the same reference numerals are given to the same components in the respective drawings, and duplicate descriptions are omitted.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing the configuration of the gift system 1. The presenting system 1 is a system that enables a business of presenting gifts from users, that is, third parties to travelers. The user terminal 5 is connected to the gift system 1 via the network N, and the user can arrange a gift from the user terminal 5 to the traveler 7. The gift includes not only goods but also services. The gift system 1 includes a gift mediation system 10 and a gift arrangement system 20.

  The user terminal 5 is a personal computer (PC), for example. However, the user terminal 5 may be a mobile terminal device such as a mobile phone or a PDA. The gift mediation system 10 is a system operated by a service provider related to travel and traffic on the network, for example. Considering the ease of business progress, it is preferable that the trader who operates the gift brokerage system 10 is an existing broker. The gift mediation system 10 is connected to the network N, and the user can access the gift mediation system from the user terminal 5. The gift mediation system 10 performs a process of mediating the gift presentation in response to a user request. The detailed configuration of the gift mediation system 10 will be described later.

  Although not shown, there are actually a plurality of gift arrangement systems 20 and are distributed in each region. For example, the gift arrangement system 20 is a system owned by an arrangement company such as a hotel management system or an airline reservation system. A program for functioning as a gift arrangement system is installed in these systems. Therefore, the system functions as the gift arrangement system 20. Each gift arrangement system 20 is connected to the network N, and can send and receive information to and from the gift brokerage system. The gift arrangement system 20 that has received a gift arrangement instruction from the gift brokerage system 10 outputs an instruction for presenting a gift to the traveler 7 in accordance with the arrangement instruction. For example, a gift giving instruction is transmitted to the front of the hotel, and further to each section from the front, so that a gift is given to a traveler who is a hotel guest. In addition, for example, an arrangement instruction is transmitted to an airline counter, and further from the counter to a cabin attendant, so that a gift for a passenger who is a passenger is arranged. The detailed configuration of the gift arrangement system 20 will be described later.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the presenting mediation system 10 according to the present invention. The presentation mediation system 10 includes a reception unit 11, a selection unit 12, a system information storage unit 13, a mediation side collation unit 14, an option transmission unit 15, a selection reception unit 17, and an arrangement unit 18. The arrows shown in FIG. 2 indicate the flow of information.

  The receiving unit 11 receives information such as a region, a hotel name, and a traveler name transmitted from the user terminal 5 via the network N. The accepting unit 11 is an interface to the network N. The information such as the region and the hotel name is travel destination information that specifies information on the travel destination of the traveler, and the information that belongs to the traveler's name and other travelers is the traveler information. The reception unit 11 transmits the travel destination information to the selection unit 12, and when the specific gift arrangement system 20 is narrowed down from the plurality of gift arrangement systems 20, the traveler information is transmitted to the mediating side collation unit 14.

  The selection unit 12 receives the travel destination information from the reception unit 11, makes an inquiry to the system information storage unit 13, and selects the gift arrangement system 20 that covers the travel destination. That is, the information is returned to the user terminal 5 with reference to the system information storage unit 13 by narrowing down the hotel name and the like from the area. Further, when the gift arrangement system 20 can be narrowed down according to predetermined conditions, the narrowed information of the gift arrangement system 20 is transmitted to the user terminal 5 so that the user can select an appropriate gift arrangement system 20 step by step. To the user. The selection unit 12 is configured by a CPU.

  The system information storage unit 13 stores the specific information of the gift arrangement system 20 in association with the information of the area covered by each. That is, the system information storage unit 13 stores the identification information of the gift arrangement system and its attributes, and stores, for example, the gifts prepared by the region, the hotel, and the hotel in association with each other. Further, the system information storage unit 13 stores option information of gifts prepared by each gift arrangement system 20 in advance. The system information storage unit 13 accumulates information acquired from the gift arrangement system 20. The system information storage unit 13 includes a main storage device or an external storage device. Note that the option information may be extracted directly from the gift arrangement system 20 without extracting the option information from the system information storage unit 13.

  The intermediary-side verification unit 14 receives the traveler information from the reception unit 11, makes an inquiry to the gift arrangement system 20, and determines whether there is information that matches the information of the traveler who is looking for. Then, when there is a matching traveler, the mediating side collation unit 14 informs the option transmission unit 15 of information that there is a matching traveler. For example, the intermediary collation unit 14 refers to the gift arrangement system 20 for a traveler's name, and collates that a traveler with the same name is staying. The mediating side collation unit 14 is configured by a CPU. The intermediary collation unit 14 is set in advance to absorb fluctuations in the notation such as “SATO” and “SATOH” and generate a result that substantially the same name is the same name. ing. Further, the above traveler may be an individual or a group. When the traveler is an organization, the intermediary-side verification unit 14 may determine that there is a traveler with a matching name when both of the organization names match.

  The option transmission unit 15 is configured by a CPU, and receives information from the intermediary side verification unit 14 that there is a traveler specified by the user. As described above, when there is a traveler who matches as a result of the inquiry, the option transmission unit 15 makes an inquiry to the system information storage unit 13 or the gift arrangement system 20 to the gift arrangement system 20 already specified by the selection unit 12. The associated gift options are transmitted to the user terminal 5. For example, the option transmission unit 15 transmits to the user terminal 5 options for gifts that can be given to travelers at hotels. Note that the option transmission unit 15 may extract the gift option information directly from the gift arrangement system 20 without referring to the system information storage unit 13.

  Examples of gift options include wine, flowers, and upgrade services for gifts at hotels. Thereby, for example, it becomes possible to give gifts of articles such as wine and flowers, and the hotel room can be changed from standard to ocean view. In addition, when giving a gift on an aircraft, it is possible to select a gift that upgrades the seat from the economy class to the business class.

  The wine and flower services described above are services that are usually provided in hotels to meet the needs of travelers at hotels and the like. Therefore, it does not take time and effort to manage gifts as materials. In addition, for an arrangement provider such as a hotel or an airline that receives an arrangement instruction from the gift arrangement system 20, an order can be obtained from a third party in addition to an order from a direct guest or passenger, which has a great economic effect. I can expect.

  The selection receiving unit 17 receives selection information of options transmitted from the user terminal 5 when the user operates the user terminal 5. That is, the option selected by the user is received from the user terminal 5. The arrangement unit 18 receives an arrangement instruction for gift presentation from the selection reception unit 17 and transmits the arrangement instruction to the gift arrangement system 20. That is, the arrangement unit 18 transmits an arrangement instruction to the gift arrangement system based on the selected option. The selection receiving unit 17 is configured by a CPU.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the gift arrangement system 20 according to the present invention. The gift arrangement system 20 includes a traveler information extraction unit 21, an option storage unit 22, an arrangement instruction reception unit 24, and an output unit 25.

  The traveler information extraction unit 21 extracts traveler information from a traveler database owned by an arrangement company, and transmits the extracted traveler information to the gift brokerage system 10 when there is an inquiry from the gift brokerage system 10. For example, traveler information such as a traveler's name is extracted and transmitted from a user database owned by a hotel. When extracting, if only necessary information is extracted as meta information, the burden on the system is reduced. The traveler information extraction part 21 is comprised by CPU.

  The option storage unit 22 stores in advance option information of a gift that the user gives to the traveler, and transmits the option information to the gift brokerage system 10 when requested by the gift brokerage system 10. In other words, a gift option set in advance by the hotel is stored, and data is provided to the gift mediation system as necessary. For example, the arrangement information is updated in the option storage unit 22 by preparing recommended options for each predetermined period and storing the options in the option storage unit 22. The option storage unit 22 includes a main storage device or an external storage device.

  The arrangement instruction receiving unit 24 transmits an arrangement instruction to the output unit 25 when receiving an instruction to arrange a gift for the traveler from the gift brokerage system 10. An arrangement instruction for a gift that has been confirmed by the user's selection is accepted, and when the arrangement is confirmed, information for accounting processing is transmitted to the settlement system. The arrangement instruction receiving unit 24 is an interface to the network N.

  The output unit 25 is configured by, for example, a display, a printer, and the like, and outputs a confirmed arrangement instruction. The employee of the arrangement company sees this output and performs the work of presenting the gift to the traveler.

  Next, operation | movement of the presenting system 1 comprised in this way is demonstrated. First, the operation will be described with particular attention to the gift mediation system 10 among them. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a characteristic operation of the gift mediation system 10.

  First, when the operation of the gift brokerage system 10 is started, the gift brokerage system 10 is in a state where it can accept gift destination information (step S1). And the presentation mediation system 10 determines whether the destination information was received from the user terminal 5 by the reception part 11 (step S2). The travel destination information is information such as information for specifying a region, information for specifying a hotel, or information for specifying a passenger aircraft to be used. When it is determined that the gift destination information has not been received from the user terminal 5, the process returns to step S1. On the other hand, if it is determined that the travel destination information has been received from the user terminal 5, the process proceeds to step S3.

  Next, in the gift mediation system 10, the selection unit 12 determines whether there is a gift arrangement system 20 that can be arranged based on the travel destination information (step S3). For example, if the hotel where the traveler stays is not subscribed to the gift service, the hotel system is not registered as the gift arrangement system 20 and cannot be arranged. If the hotel is subscribed to the gift service, it is determined that there is a gift arrangement system 20 that can be arranged because the identification information of the hotel management system is stored in the gift mediation system 10.

  As a result of the determination, when it is determined that there is no gift arrangement system 20 that can be arranged, the gift brokerage system 10 transmits information indicating that the gift cannot be presented to the user terminal 5 by the selection unit 12 (step S4). ), Return to the acceptance state. When it is determined that there is a gift arrangement system 20 that can be arranged, the gift brokerage system 10 transmits candidate information of the gift arrangement system 20 that can be arranged to the user terminal 5 by the selection unit 12 (step S5).

  Subsequently, the gift mediation system 10 receives candidate information of the gift arrangement system 20 selected by the user by the reception unit 11 from the user terminal 5 (step S6). In this way, the gift arrangement system 20 that actually arranges gifts for travelers is specified. The identified gift arrangement system 20 is, for example, a management system for a hotel where a traveler stays. The gift brokerage system 10 collates with the traveler information obtained from the gift arrangement system 20 based on the traveler information of the traveler who is going to give a gift that has been input by the user by the broker collation unit 14 ( Step S7). At the time of collation, the traveler information is extracted from the traveler database by the traveler information extraction unit 21 of the gift arrangement system 20 and transmitted to the gift mediation system 10. Details of this collation processing will be described later.

  The gift brokerage system 10 determines whether or not there is information on a traveler that matches the information of the traveler who is about to give a gift from the result of the traveler information collation performed by the broker collation unit 14 (step S8). . When it is determined that there is no traveler information that matches the information of the traveler who wants to give a gift, the intermediary collation unit 14 transmits information indicating that the gift cannot be presented to the user terminal 5 (step S4), returning to the acceptance state. When it is determined that there is information on a traveler that matches the information on the traveler who wants to give a gift, the option transmission unit 15 further transmits option information for specifying a gift option to the user terminal 5 (step S9). . On the other hand, the user can select an option from the user terminal 5.

  The gift mediation system 10 receives the option information selected by the user by the selection receiving unit 17 (step S10). Then, the arrangement unit 18 transmits a gift arrangement instruction to the gift arrangement system 20 identified in the course of processing based on the option information by the selection receiving unit 17 (step S11). The gift arrangement system 20 that has received the arrangement instruction by the arrangement instruction reception unit 24 outputs the instruction content to the output unit 25, and enables the arrangement agent to give a gift to the traveler specified by the user. Below, the collation process of traveler information is explained in full detail.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing details of the traveler information collating process, and FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a table of traveler information extracted by the traveler information extraction unit 21. As shown in FIG. 6, traveler information is classified into specific main information used primarily to specify a traveler and specific sub-information used secondary to supplement the traveler's specification. Processed in the system. In the verification process, the intermediary side verification unit 14 first obtains from the gift arrangement system 20 a traveler having the same name as the name of the traveler specified by the user based on the specified main information of the traveler information, for example, the name information. It is determined whether or not the information is present (step P1). If it is determined that there is no traveler with the same name, the intermediary collation unit 14 generates a result that the traveler information does not match (step P2). On the other hand, when it is determined that there is a traveler with the same name, the intermediary collation unit 14 further determines whether there are a plurality of travelers with the same name (step P3).

  When it is determined that there are a plurality of travelers having the same name, the intermediary collation unit 14 further has a single traveler information in which the address, age, etc. match the address, age, etc. specified by the user based on the specific sub information. (Step P4). If it is determined that there is no matching single traveler information, the intermediary collation unit 14 generates a result that the traveler information does not match (step P2). On the other hand, when it is determined that there is single traveler information that matches the specific sub-information, the mediating side collation unit 14 generates a result that the traveler information matches (step P5). Similarly, when it is determined in step P3 that there are not a plurality of travelers having the same name, the intermediary-side collation unit 14 generates a result that the traveler information matches (step P5). The process is then returned. Such a collation process can identify the traveler designated by the user even when the same name exists as in “SATO ICHIRO” shown in FIG. 6.

  In addition, when the traveler information does not match, the intermediary collation unit 14 further inquires and inquires to a nearby hotel or other system or expands the periodical inquiry range, for example, inquiries about one month around the specified date and time. It is good also as a system to fix. Further, this function may be provided to the arrangement side collation unit 81 (described later).

  Of the specific sub-information, when a match between information is confirmed by unique information for a traveler such as a passport number, it is determined that the traveler has been identified by discontinuing judgment based on other information. Also good. In the above example, an individual traveler is targeted, but an organization may be included. In that case, the collation unit determines the match based on the traveler name instead of the traveler name, and excludes the specific sub-information inappropriate for the organization such as age information from the determination target. Next, the operation of each system will be described from the viewpoint of the entire gift system 1.

  FIG. 7 is a sequence chart showing an example of operations of the user terminal 5 and the gift system 1. First, the gift mediation system 10 starts accepting a request for a gift presented by a user to a traveler (step T1). The user transmits a request for an input form from the user terminal 5 to the gift brokerage system 10 (step T2). For example, it is possible to set a start button for requesting an input form on a Web site and create a program so that the user can switch to the input screen by clicking the start button. The presentation mediation system 10 that has received the request for the input form transmits the data of the input form to the user terminal 5 (step T3).

  Next, the user terminal 5 receives an input of travel destination information from the user (step T4), and transmits the travel destination information to the gift mediation system 10 (step T5). The gift mediation system 10 extracts candidates for the gift arrangement system 20 that can be presented based on the travel destination information transmitted from the user terminal 5 (step T6). And the information of the candidate of the gift arrangement system 20 extracted is transmitted to the user terminal 5 (step T7). The user terminal 5 presents the received candidate information to the user, receives input of candidate selection from the user (step T8), and transmits the selection information for selecting the candidate to the gift brokerage system 10 (step T9).

  The gift mediation system 10 can specify the gift arrangement system 20 by receiving the selection information from the user terminal 5. The gift mediation system 10 transmits a request for traveler information to the gift arrangement system 20 identified in this way (step T10). The gift arrangement system 20 that has received the request for the traveler information extracts the traveler information from the traveler information DB (step T11), and transmits the extracted traveler information to the gift mediation system 10 (step T12).

  The gift mediation system 10 collates the received traveler information with the traveler information specified by the user (step T13). As a result of the collation of the traveler information, when it is determined that there is a traveler that matches the traveler information specified by the user, the gift brokerage system 10 further selects the option information provided by the gift arrangement system 20. It transmits to the user terminal 5 (step T14). The user terminal 5 receives an input of selection of the option by the user (step T15), and transmits information on the selected option to the presentation mediation system 10 (step T16).

  Upon receiving the information on the selected option, the gift mediation system 10 transmits a gift arrangement instruction to the gift arrangement system 20 (step T17). The gift arrangement system 20 that has received the arrangement instruction outputs the instruction to a display, a printer, or the like (step T18). The output information is confirmed by the arranger, and the arranger gives a gift desired by the user to the traveler designated by the user. In this way, a gift from a third party is given to the traveler.

  Next, a user input scene will be described. FIG. 8A is a diagram illustrating an example of an initial input screen displayed on the display screen of the user terminal 5.

In the above embodiment, the verification process of the traveler information is performed by the gift mediation system 10, but the verification process may be performed by each gift arrangement system. FIG. 10 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a gift arrangement system 80 that performs a matching process. The gift arrangement system 80 includes an arrangement side collation unit 81 in its configuration, and the arrangement side collation unit 81 and the traveler information extracted from the traveler information extraction unit 21 and the traveler information provided from the gift mediation system 10. And match. Thus, since collation is performed at the stage of each gift arrangement system 80, the possibility that personal information leaks from the gift arrangement system 80 first is significantly reduced. Since the gift arrangement system 80 is actually configured by a management system such as a hotel, for example, an arrangement company such as a hotel can avoid the risk of passing personal information to an outside person.

(Embodiment 3)
In the above embodiment, the user who can use the gift system 1 is not limited, but the use of the user can be limited by a membership system. FIG. 11 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a gift mediation system 90 that receives only requests from members. The presenting mediation system 90 has a member determination unit 91 and a member database 92 in its configuration.

  In the gift brokerage system 90, the member determination unit 91 determines whether or not the user is a member. The member determination unit 91 determines whether or not the member is a member based on the member ID or password received from the user terminal 5 by the reception unit 11, for example. The member determination unit 91 is composed of a CPU. The member database 92 is a database of users registered as members, and is composed of an external storage device. This determination is performed at least before the mediation side collation unit 14 performs collation. In order to eliminate useless processing, the determination is preferably performed before the selection unit 12 performs processing for narrowing down the area and the like from the travel destination information. By providing a membership system in this way, it is possible to collate travelers with restrictions on the outflow of personal information.

  In the above embodiment, the arrangement instruction is transmitted to the gift arrangement system via the gift brokerage system, but only this part is sent directly from the user terminal to the gift arrangement system, and the gift arrangement receiving the option information is received. The system may output an arrangement instruction. In that case, the arrangement instruction receiving unit 24 receives option information from the user terminal.

  In the above embodiment, the gift mediation system and the gift arrangement system exist separately, but both can be operated as one gift system. In that case, the presenting system receives an order from the user terminal and also outputs a gift arrangement. As a result, for example, an overseas bridal company can arrange a gift for the bride and groom on the spot in response to an order from a third party during an overseas wedding.
