Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for receiving a proposal satisfying a user's condition from a management device for a predetermined activity.

  Conventionally, a reservation management system for making a golf reservation via the Internet is known (Patent Document 1). The reservation management system includes a server device that manages reservation information and a user terminal device. The user terminal device inquires of the server device about an empty frame and confirms the reservation.

  By the way, since a round (play) at a golf course needs to be performed by at least two people, it is necessary to make a golf reservation by two or more people. However, a player may not be able to make a golf reservation because the reservation date cannot be adjusted.

  In view of such circumstances, in recent years, a service that allows one player to make a golf reservation on a website has been provided. This service recruits golf reservations from unspecified players and accepts reservations on condition that the minimum number of participants is reached by a predetermined time limit (for example, 3 days before the play date).

JP 2010-3208 A

  However, the conventional one-person golf reservation described above has a problem that if the minimum number of participants is not reached by the predetermined time limit, it is automatically canceled and the player is dissatisfied.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and it is a solution to provide a computer program or the like that can reduce the dissatisfaction of players even if the minimum number of participants is not reached by a predetermined time limit. To do.

Hereinafter, as an embodiment, a reservation management system using an information providing server according to the present invention will be described with golf as an example of an activity with reference to the drawings.
<1: Configuration of reservation management system>
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a reservation management system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The reservation management system 100 includes a reservation management server 1 (an example of a reservation management device) that provides a golf information service and a golf course reservation service via a communication network NET such as the Internet, a terminal device 2 of a user who plays golf, golf A golf course server 4 is provided which receives a golf reservation managed by the management body of the field. In the following description, a user who uses the golf information service or the golf course reservation service of the reservation management server 1 is referred to as a golf user.

The golf user's terminal device 2 can communicate via the communication network NET, and corresponds to, for example, a personal computer, a mobile phone, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or the like.
The reservation management server 1 provides a service related to a predetermined activity. In this embodiment, golf is taken up as an example of a predetermined activity. The reservation management server 1 may be composed of a single server or a plurality of servers. As an example of a configuration composed of a plurality of servers, information that communicates with the terminal device 2 to provide a golf information service to golf users. A golf reservation server that communicates with the providing server and the golf course server 4 and cooperates with the information providing server to provide a golf course reservation service regarding golf course reservations to golf users and managers of the golf course server 4. It may be configured. Other server configurations may be used.

  The golf information service is a service that provides information related to golf, and corresponds to a play history recording service or the like. In the present embodiment, a golf information service is provided by executing the program of the golf information application on the reservation management server 1, and a golf course reservation service is provided by executing the program of the golf course reservation application on the reservation management server 1. The However, the provision of these services is only an example, and the provision of applications such as games, the provision of travel information including hotel reservations, the provision of concert information, and the sale of services and goods may be provided.

  Next, the reservation management server 1 shown in FIG. 1 executes a predetermined program, whereby a reservation receiving unit 10 that can receive reservation information indicating the content of a reservation transmitted from the terminal device 2, and a one-person reservation A setting unit 14 that sets a deadline for reservation information (an example of specific reservation information), and an acquisition unit that acquires other reservation information that does not meet the minimum number of participants when the deadline set for reservation information for a one-person reservation arrives 11 and the reservation information extracted as a search result by the search unit 12 for searching for reservation information that does not satisfy the preset maximum number of people among other reservation information, and the reservation information for one person reservation The information of the user who made the reservation is added, and the reservation changing unit 16 that performs processing for canceling the reservation information of the one-person reservation and the terminal device 2 of the user who reserved the reservation information of the one-person reservation In contrast, and a transmittable notification unit 13 the reservation information in which information of the user is added by the reservation changing section 16.

  A golf reservation is determined by a combination of a plan and a reservation frame. Here, the plan generally defines a play fee and service contents. The reservation frame defines a start time and a course. For example, in the OUT course starting from the 1st hole, a start time of 7 minutes is set, and in the IN course starting from the 9th hole, a start time of 7 minutes is set, and a reservation frame is assigned to this. . In addition, when a reservation frame is set by a golf course manager or the like, a frame ID for uniquely identifying the reservation frame is assigned.

In general, there are a plurality of plans with different play fees and services, and a golf user who wants to make a reservation makes a golf reservation by combining the plan and a reservation frame. For example, a reservation frame with a start time of 8:00 is reserved in plan A, a reservation frame with a start time of 9:00 is reserved in plan B, and so on.
One type of plan is a one-person reservation plan. In principle, this one-person reservation plan allows one person to make a reservation, and has a time limit (predetermined time limit) for determining whether or not to confirm the reservation. If the minimum number of participants is not reached when the predetermined deadline arrives, there is a possibility of cancellation. The minimum number of participants is determined by the golf course operator, and is, for example, two or more. The predetermined time limit is, for example, 3 days before the reservation date. In addition, a specific reservation frame is designated by the golf course manager in the single-person reservation plan. That is, when a one-person reservation plan is selected, the start time that can be selected is limited to those designated in advance by the golf course manager. In the present embodiment, a specific reservation frame assigned to a one-person reservation plan cannot be selected when another plan is selected. In other words, it can be said that the specific reservation frame is a one-person reservation dedicated reservation frame. Therefore, in the present specification, the reservation frame for one-person reservation may be referred to as “one-person reservation frame”.

In addition, reservation slots other than the one-person reservation slot can normally be reserved by two to four persons. Depending on the plan, there may be a 2-sum guarantee or 3-sum guarantee. 2 Sum Guarantee means that if you make a reservation with 2 people, you will be able to play with 2 people who you specified at the time of reservation, without being combined with a 2 people booked separately. Means. With 3 Sum Guarantee, if you make a reservation with 3 people, you can play with 3 people who are specified at the time of reservation, and there is no possibility of combining with 1 person for some reason instead of 1 person reservation It means that. Plans without guarantees such as these are allowed to change the number of people not based on the declaration from the reservation person, and may be round with an unknown companion until the preset maximum number of people (for example, 4 people) is reached. It is a certain plan. The search unit 12 may specify reservation information that allows a change in the number of people that is not based on a report from the reservation person. Furthermore, various conditions such as the presence / absence of a caddy, the presence / absence of lunch, a play fee, a 2-sum and 3-sum surcharge are assigned to each reservation frame.
Information reserved by a combination of a plan and a reservation frame is referred to as reservation information. Details of the reservation information will be described later.

The acquisition unit 11 may acquire reservation information from various tables stored in the storage unit 15. Moreover, the acquisition part 11 may acquire information based on the information from the terminal device 2 or an external server, or may specify information.
The storage unit 15 includes a golf user information table TBL11 that records various information about golf users, an empty frame information table TBL12 that stores empty frames, a plan information table TBL13 that stores plan contents, and a reservation that stores reservation information. An information table TBL14 is stored. Here, an empty frame means a reserved frame that has not been reserved among reserved frames. Only empty frames are stored in the empty frame information table TBL12. Note that the number of vacant frames decreases when a reservation is made, and the number of vacant frames increases when the reservation is canceled. For this reason, the stored contents of the empty frame information table TBL12 are updated as needed.

  The golf user's terminal device 2 includes an input unit 21, a notification unit 22, and a display unit 23. A golf user can input a golf course, a plan name, the number of people, a start time, a reservation date, and the like regarding a golf reservation using the input unit 21. The notification unit 22 notifies the reservation management server 1 of information related to the reservation input at the input unit 21. The display unit 23 can display information related to the reservation transmitted by the notification unit 13 of the reservation management server 1.

  The golf course server 4 is managed by a golf course manager and provides vacant frame information and plan information indicating vacant frames, and accepts and manages reservations at the golf course. Furthermore, the golf course server 4 also manages a website related to the course. The golf course server 4 communicates with the reservation management server 1 periodically or in response to an operation by a golf course manager or the like, and uploads, to the reservation management server 1, vacant frame information and plan information indicating vacant frames among the reserved frames. Can do. Further, the reservation information stored in the reservation management server 1 is acquired, and the reservation information managed by the golf course server 4 is updated. When a new reservation occurs, the free space associated with the reservation decreases. For this reason, the golf course server 4 uploads the updated vacancy information to the reservation management server 1. In addition, the golf course server 4 may communicate with other reservation portal sites.

The golf course server 4 itself manages the reservation information, and has a management table TBL41 for that purpose. A plurality of records are stored in the management table TBL41. Each record corresponds to a reservation frame, and one record includes a reservation ID, a start course, a start date and time, a frame ID, the number of people, participants, a fee, a reservation flag, and the like. The reservation flag is “1” when the reservation has been made, and “0” when the reservation flag is empty.
Therefore, the golf course server 4 can know whether there is a reservation in each reservation frame by referring to the reservation flag recorded in each record of the management table TBL41.

  FIG. 2 shows a data structure of the golf user information table TBL11. A plurality of records are recorded as registration information in the golf user information table TBL11. One record includes identification information UID that uniquely identifies a golf user, registration date, profile information, and round history information. In the present embodiment, the profile information is stored in the golf user information table TBL11. However, the profile information may not necessarily be stored in the golf user information table TBL11.

Profile information includes gender, age, and email address. Further, the round history information includes an average score, handicap, and the like based on self-reports played.
The golf user information table TBL11 may be composed of a plurality of tables linked with key information (for example, identification information UID), and may be a relational database.

  FIG. 3 shows the data structure of the empty frame information table TBL12. The empty frame information table TBL12 is associated with an empty frame ID that uniquely identifies an empty frame, year, month, and day of the empty frame, start time, OUT / IN distinction, and whether or not a single person can be reserved. I remember. In OUT / IN, “1” indicates OUT start, and “0” indicates IN start. In a one-person reservation, “1” indicates that one person can be reserved, and “0” indicates that one person cannot be reserved.

  FIG. 4 shows the data structure of the plan information table TBL13. In the plan information table TBL13, the plan name, the plan ID for uniquely identifying the plan, the conditions 1 to 3, the charge, the weekday / holiday distinction, and the like are recorded in association with each other. Condition 1 indicates the presence or absence of a 2-sum guarantee, where “1” includes a guarantee and “0” indicates no guarantee. Condition 2 indicates that lunch is included, “1” includes lunch, and “0” indicates lunch. Condition 3 indicates whether or not the cart is used, and “1” is present and “0” is absent. Condition 4 indicates the presence or absence of a caddy, where “1” is caddy and “0” is caddy. Further, on weekdays / holidays, “1” indicates a holiday plan and “0” indicates a weekday plan. Although not shown in FIG. 4, there is a one-person reservation plan as one type of plan.

  FIG. 5 shows the data structure of the reservation information table TBL14. A plurality of records are recorded in the reservation information table TBL14. One record indicates one reservation information. In one record, a reservation ID for uniquely identifying a reservation, a reservation date, a name of a reservation, identification information UID of the reservation, a plan ID, a deadline, the number of persons, a companion 1 to a companion 3, and a reservation frame are uniquely identified Frame ID, play date, start time, OUT / IN distinction, cancel flag, and the like are stored in association with each other. In OUT / IN, “1” indicates a start from the OUT course, and “0” indicates a start from the IN course. In the cancel flag, “1” indicates a case where the reservation cancel process is performed, and “0” indicates a case where the reservation cancel process is not performed.

  Here, the time limit indicates the date for determining whether or not to confirm the reservation. It is a day for determining whether or not the minimum number of participants has been reached in a one-person reservation. The number of persons is the total number of reservation persons and accompanying persons specified at the time of reservation. However, when a reservation is made with a one-person reservation plan, the number indicates the number of reservations. If two persons make reservations separately in the same one-person reservation frame, the number of persons in the record of the reservation information is two. Therefore, it is possible to determine whether or not the minimum number of participants has been reached by referring to the number of people in the reservation information table TBL14. In the present embodiment, the setting unit 14 sets a time limit when a one-person reservation is made. In this embodiment, the time limit is set to be three days before the play date.

  The reservation table TBL14 may be composed of a plurality of tables. For example, a reservation ID for uniquely identifying a reservation, a reservation date, a name of a reservation, a reservation ID, a plan ID, a deadline, the number of persons, a companion 1 to a companion 3, and a frame ID are stored in association with each other. You may comprise 1 table and the 2nd table which memorize | stores frame ID, start time, and OUT / IN. Further, in the above-described reservation information table TBL14, when a plurality of one-person reservations are made for one reservation frame, one record is set for the first reservation person who made a reservation for the same reservation frame, and the other for the same reservation frame. Are registered as accompanying persons of the first reservation person. As another aspect, when there are a plurality of one-person reservations in the same reservation frame, one person's reservation for each person may be recorded as one record, and each record may be managed by a frame ID branch number. For example, when the frame ID of one reservation frame is “I0002” and there is a reservation for three persons in the reservation frame of the frame ID, three records are generated, and “I0002- “1”, “I0002-2”, and “I0002-3” may be recorded.

  FIG. 6 shows the configuration of the reservation management server 1. As shown in this figure, the reservation management server 1 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 30 that controls the entire apparatus, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 31 that functions as a work area for the CPU 30, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 32, a hard disk drive 33 for storing various programs and data, an input unit 34 including a keyboard and a mouse, a display 35 for displaying images, and a communication interface 36 for communicating with an external device via a communication network NET. And a reading device 37 for reading an information recording medium such as a compact disk. The hard disk drive 33 corresponds to the storage unit 15 described above, and stores various tables such as a golf user information table TBL11, an empty frame information table TBL12, a plan information table TBL13, and a reservation information table TBL14. The CPU 30 described above functions as the acquisition unit 11, the search unit 12, the setting unit 14, and the reservation change unit 16. The communication interface 36 described above functions together with the CPU 30 as the reservation receiving unit 10 and the notification unit 13 that notifies the terminal device 2 of the predetermined reservation information. However, the reservation management server 1 may not include the input unit 34, the display 35, and the reading device 37.

  FIG. 7 shows the configuration of the terminal device 2. The terminal device 2 includes a CPU 40 that controls the entire device, a RAM 41 that functions as a work area for the CPU 40, a ROM 42 that stores a boot program, a storage device 43 that stores various programs and data, an input unit 44 including a numeric keypad, an image, and the like. And a communication interface 46 for communicating with an external device via a communication network NET. When the input unit is a touch panel, the display 45 also serves as the input unit 44 that is a touch panel. The input unit 44 may be configured by a single device or a combination of a plurality of devices.

<2: Operation of the information provision system>
In the reservation management system 100 of the present embodiment, a golf user can make a reservation using the terminal device 2 of the golf user.

<2-1: Reservation site access processing>
First, access processing to the reservation site provided by the reservation management server 1 will be described. When a golf user of the terminal device 2 operates on a web browser or starts an application installed and operated on the terminal device 2 to access a reservation site, a login screen is displayed on the display 45 of the terminal device 2. Is done. An input box for entering the identification information UID and password is displayed on the login screen. When the user inputs in the input box and presses the transmission button, the terminal device 2 transmits a login request including the input identification information UID and password to the reservation management server 1.

  When the reservation management server 1 receives the login request, the reservation management server 1 executes an authentication process. Specifically, the CPU 30 of the reservation management server 1 determines whether or not a combination of the identification information UID and the password is stored. If the determination condition is satisfied, the login is permitted and the determination condition is not satisfied. In case it refuses login. Then, the CPU 30 causes the terminal device 2 to transmit a login response indicating the determination result. The combination of the identification information UID and the password once input at the terminal device 2 may be stored in the terminal device 2 for a predetermined period, and login may be omitted within the predetermined period.

  Thereafter, when the golf user selects My Page from the menu, the terminal device 2 transmits a My Page browsing request to the reservation management server 1. The reservation management server 1 displays the golf user's My Page at the golf site on the terminal device 2 when receiving the My Page browsing request. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the reservation information of affiliated golf courses is collected and displayed as “Ichioshi Golf Course” on the My Page. Thereby, convenience is improved when a golf user searches.

<2-2: Transfer process and cancellation process>
Next, transfer processing and cancellation processing executed by the reservation management server 1 will be described. FIG. 9 shows the details of the reservation deadline process. First, the CPU 30 receives a reservation request from the terminal device 2 and accepts a reservation (S1). The reservation request includes reservation information. Further, the CPU 30 sets a time limit at the time of reservation as part of the reservation information in the case of a one-person reservation. When receiving the reservation request, the CPU 30 stores the reservation information in the reservation information table TBL14. Here, the CPU 30 functions as the reservation receiving unit 10 that can receive reservation information indicating the content of the reservation.

  Thereafter, the CPU 30 determines whether or not the time limit has come (S2). This process is preferably executed by a batch process such as once a day or once every half day. This is because the batch processing described above is sufficient if the deadline is managed in units of days. This determination process is performed for each reservation information. Specifically, the CPU 30 reads records one by one from the reservation information table TBL14, and determines whether or not the time limit included in the read record is earlier than the current date (whether or not the time limit has come). Determine. If the time limit has not yet arrived, the CPU 30 determines the next record. If it has arrived, the process proceeds to step S3. For reservation information for which no time limit is set, such processing and subsequent processing are not performed.

  In step S <b> 3, the CPU 30 determines whether or not the number of reservations is equal to or greater than the minimum number of participants. In this example, it is assumed that the minimum number of participants is fixed and is “two”. The CPU 30 functions as the acquisition unit 11 that acquires the reservation information that is less than the minimum number of participants when the predetermined time limit comes by executing steps S2 and S3. When the number of reservations is equal to or greater than the minimum number of participants, the CPU 30 transmits a reservation confirmation notification indicating reservation confirmation to the terminal device 2 of the reservation person (S4). On the other hand, when the number of reservations is less than the minimum number of participants, the CPU 30 determines whether or not there is a vacancy in the one-person reservation frame in which another one-person reservation is made (S5). Specifically, the CPU 30 determines with reference to the reservation information table TBL14 whether the reservation date is the same day and there is a one-person reservation frame that does not reach the upper limit number of persons set for each reservation frame. To do.

  When the determination condition of S5 is satisfied, the CPU 30 sets the reservation frame with the smallest difference between the original reservation frame and the start time from the one-person reservation frame that has the same reservation date and does not reach the upper limit. Reserving persons less than the minimum number of participants are transferred (S6).

  Specific processing contents of the transfer process differ depending on the mode of registration of reservation information for one-person reservation in the reservation information table TBL14. In the reservation information table TBL14, one record is set for a reservation person who made a reservation for one person for the first person reservation frame, and other reservation persons of the same one person reservation frame are accompanied by the first reservation person. In the mode registered as, first, the CPU 30 registers the name of the reservation person who is less than the minimum number of participants in the companion field of the record of the one person reservation frame that does not reach the upper limit number of persons. I do.

  Next, in the reservation information table TBL14, in a mode in which one person's reservation is recorded as one record for the same one person reservation frame, and each record is managed by the branch number of the frame ID, the CPU 30 A new reservation ID is assigned and a new record is created in the reservation information table TBL14. Then, the CPU 30 refers to the contents of the corresponding field in the original record relating to the reservation of the reservation person less than the minimum number of participants, and “reservation date”, “reservation person name”, “reservation person UID” of the new record. , “Plan ID” and “number of people” fields are registered. In the “reservation date” field, the date when the transfer process is performed may be registered. Next, the CPU 30 refers to the contents of the “frame ID”, “start time”, and “OUT / IN” fields in any one of the records of the one-person reservation frame that has not reached the upper limit number of people. , The contents of the corresponding field of the new record are registered. When the CPU 30 performs such an incorporation process, the newly created one-person reservation record and the other one-person reservation record are linked by the frame ID.

  Next, the CPU 30 performs a cancel process for canceling the original one-person reservation (S7). Specifically, the cancel flag of the record relating to the original one-person reservation in the reservation information table TBL14 is changed from “0” to “1”. In another aspect, the CPU 30 may write null in each field of the record relating to the original one-person reservation in the reservation information table TBL14. Alternatively, the CPU 30 may delete the record relating to the original one-person reservation in the reservation information table TBL14.

  Then, the CPU 30 notifies the transfer destination reservation information, that is, the date and time, the start hole, the play fee, and the information that transfer to a new group is made to the reservation persons less than the minimum number of participants (S8). . As a result, the reservation person can know that it has been incorporated into a new group.

The description returns to the process of step S5. When there is no other one-person reservation available and the determination condition of step S5 is not satisfied, the CPU 30 determines whether or not there is a reservation space reserved in another non-guaranteed plan (S9). Specifically, the CPU 30 does not correspond to the 2-sum guarantee or 3-sum guarantee, because the reservation date stored in the reservation information table TBL14 is not a one-person reservation among other reservation information on the same day. And the reservation information of the reservation frame which does not satisfy the preset upper limit number of people is extracted. That is, the reservation information that allows the change of the number of people not based on the report from the reservation person is extracted. When such reservation frame reservation information is extracted, the determination condition in step S9 is affirmed, and the above-described transfer process in step S6, cancel process in step S7, and notification process in step S8 are performed. In this case, the CPU 30 performs transfer processing by registering the names of reservation persons less than the minimum number of participants in the accompanying person's field of the extracted reservation information record.
The CPU 30 executes steps S5, S6, S7, and S8 to add information on reservations less than the minimum number of participants to the reservation information that does not satisfy the preset maximum number of reservation information. At the same time, it functions as a reservation changing unit 16 that cancels the original one-person reservation. The presence / absence of 2-sum guarantee is determined by referring to the plan information table TBL13.

  On the other hand, if the reservation information is not extracted, the determination condition in step S9 is denied, and the CPU 30 performs a cancel process for canceling the original one-person reservation (S10). Specifically, the cancel flag of the record relating to the original one-person reservation in the reservation information table TBL14 is changed from “0” to “1”. In another aspect, the CPU 30 may write null in each field of the record relating to the original one-person reservation in the reservation information table TBL14. Alternatively, the CPU 30 may delete the record relating to the original one-person reservation in the reservation information table TBL14. The CPU 30 functions as the reservation changing unit 16 that cancels the original one-person reservation when it is determined by executing step S10 that there is no reservation information that does not satisfy the preset maximum number of persons.

  Then, the CPU 30 transmits a failure notification indicating that the original one-person reservation has been canceled to the terminal device 2 of the reservation person (S11). As a result, the reservation person can know that the one-person reservation made by himself / herself has not been established.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, for golf users who have reserved in a reserved space that does not meet the minimum number of participants for a predetermined time limit, the transfer to another reserved space is presented. An opportunity to establish a golf reservation can be given to the golf user. Furthermore, since it is assumed that the reservation frame for one-person reservations is accompanied by an unknown golf user, the reservation frame for one-person reservations is preferentially presented. It is thought that there is little resistance to having a golf user with a reservation frame as a companion. In addition, since the reservation frame with the closest start time is presented as the reservation frame for the transfer destination, there is an advantage that the transfer-source golf user can easily accept it.

<Modification>
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications described below are possible. Of course, each modification and each embodiment may be appropriately combined.

<Modification 1>
In the above-described embodiment, the case where the minimum number of persons for one-person reservation is two has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the minimum number of participants for a one-person reservation may be three. If the minimum number of participants for a single reservation is 3, and only two people have been reserved for the same single person reservation frame, and the specified time limit has been reached, search for other transferable slots for each reservation person. become. In this case, priority may be given to the transfer process of the reservation person who made an early reservation. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the transfer process and the cancel process in this modification. In each of the modified examples after the present modified example, a single person reservation person who is to be transferred into another transfer frame is referred to as “target single person reservation person”.

  In FIG. 10, steps S1 to S4 are common and will not be described. When the number of reserved people is less than the minimum number of participants, for example, when the minimum number of participants is three and only two people are reserved in the same one-person reservation frame, there are two target one-person reservations. In this case, the CPU 30 determines whether or not there is a vacancy in the one-person reservation frame in which another one-person reservation is made (S5). Specifically, the CPU 30 determines with reference to the reservation information table TBL14 whether the reservation date is the same day and there is a one-person reservation frame that does not reach the upper limit number of persons set for each reservation frame. To do.

  When satisfying the determination condition of S5, the CPU 30 gives priority to the reservation person who made an early reservation among the two target one person reservation persons (S12). Specifically, the CPU 30 compares the reservation dates of the records related to the reservation information of the two target single reservation users in the reservation information table TBL14, and the target single reservation in the record in which the earlier reservation date is registered The following processing is performed for the person. First, the CPU 30 has a reservation date less than the minimum number of participants in the reservation frame with the smallest difference between the original reservation frame and the start time from the one-person reservation frame that has the same reservation date and has not reached the upper limit. Is incorporated (S6). Then, the CPU 30 cancels the original one-person reservation (S7) and notifies the reservation person of the transfer destination reservation information (S8).

  Next, the CPU 30 determines whether or not processing has been performed for all target one-person reservation persons, that is, reservation persons who have made a one-person reservation that is less than the minimum number of participants and the predetermined time limit has come (S13). In this example, a reservation is made by two reservation persons in the same one person reservation frame, and since the target one person reservation person who made an early reservation is performing the transfer process as described above, There will be one target reservation person. In this case, since a negative result is obtained in the determination in step S13, the CPU 30 performs the processing from step S5 again. As a result, if there is a transfer reservation slot, transfer processing is performed as described above (S5, S12, S6-S8). However, if there is already no vacancy in the one-person reservation frame (S5: NO), and there is no vacancy in the reservation frame reserved in another non-guaranteed plan (S9: NO), the CPU 30 remains. Cancellation processing (S10) and non-successful notification (S11) are performed with respect to one target reservation person. As described above, when processing is performed for a plurality of one-person reservation users, reservation users who have made reservations earlier may be preferentially handled.

<Modification 2>
In the embodiment and the modification described above, the example in which the transfer process is performed on the reservation frame having the closest difference between the original reservation frame and the start time has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 11, the transfer process may be performed on a reservation frame having a start time later than the start time of the original reservation frame (S20). FIG. 11 is a flowchart corresponding to FIG. 9 in the embodiment, and step S6 in FIG. 9 is replaced with step S20.

<Modification 3>
In the second modification, the example in which the transfer process is performed on a reservation frame having a start time later than the start time of the original reservation frame has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 12, a reservation frame having a start time later than the start time of the original reservation frame and including a reservation frame having a start time closest to the start time of the original reservation frame is incorporated. Processing may be performed (S21). FIG. 12 is a flowchart corresponding to FIG. 11 in the embodiment, and step S20 in FIG. 11 is replaced with step S21.

<Modification 4>
In the above-described embodiment and each modified example, the example in which priority is given to a one-person reservation in which a reservation is established with two or more reservations as the transfer destination search target has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. Alternatively, priority may be given to a general reservation in which the reservation content is fixed at the time of reservation. That is, a specific reservation and a general reservation are assumed as reservation modes. The specific reservation is a reservation that may become unsuccessful if the minimum number of participants is not reached when the predetermined time limit arrives, and corresponds to the one-person reservation in the above-described embodiment. Further, the general reservation is a reservation whose reservation contents are determined at the time of reservation, and for example, a reservation other than the one-person reservation in the above-described embodiment corresponds. The specific reservation corresponds to the reservation reserved by the non-guaranteed plan in the above-described embodiment. In the embodiment described above, the search unit 12 searches for the specific reservation information indicating the specific reservation in preference to the general reservation information indicating the general reservation, as shown in steps S5 and S9 of the above-described embodiment. However, as shown in FIG. 13, the general reservation information indicating the general reservation in step S9 may be searched in preference to the search for the specific reservation information in step S5. FIG. 13 is a flowchart corresponding to FIG. 9 in the embodiment, and the order of step S5 and step S9 is switched compared to FIG.

<Modification 5>
In the above-described embodiment and each modification, when there are a plurality of reservation information that does not satisfy the minimum number of participants when the predetermined time limit arrives, the start time is closest to the original one-person reservation information to be transferred. Although the reservation information is the transfer destination reservation information, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 14, when there are a plurality of reservation information that does not satisfy the minimum number of participants when the predetermined time limit has arrived, the acquisition unit 11 has a reservation information other than the latest reservation information with the latest start time among the plurality of reservation information. The reservation information is acquired (S30), and the search unit 12 searches for the reservation information with the latest start time (S31). If there is a vacancy, the reservation information with the latest start time is included in the reservation information of the transfer destination. (S32). If the start time is early, it may not be in time, but according to this modification, the reservation information with the latest start time can be used as the reservation information of the transfer destination, so that the possibility that the reservation will be established can be increased. . FIG. 14 is a flowchart corresponding to FIG. 9 of the embodiment.

<Modification 6>
In the embodiment and each modification described above, when there is no vacancy in the reservation frame for which another one-person reservation has been made (S5; NO), it is determined whether or not there is a vacancy in the reservation frame reserved in another non-guaranteed plan. Searching (S9). However, in this modified example, as shown in FIG. 15, when the processing of this step S9 is omitted and there is no vacancy in the reservation frame in which another one-person reservation is made (S5; NO), the original one-person reservation is made. It is also possible to cancel (S10) and make a notice of reservation failure for one target reservation person (S11). Since a reservation person who makes a one-person reservation may want to enjoy golf play with one person only, according to this modification, it is possible to meet the request of such a reservation person. FIG. 15 is a flowchart corresponding to FIG. 9 in the embodiment, and the processing of step S9 is omitted compared to FIG.

<Modification 7>
In the embodiment and the modification described above, golf has been described as an example of a predetermined activity. However, the present invention is not limited to this and can be provided for any activity. Here, the activity means a human action, and examples thereof include sports such as tennis, table tennis, and soccer, and artistic activities such as concerts and plays.
