Description

  The present invention relates to a server and a terminal device for reserving a schedule.

  With the spread of the Internet, a schedule management technique in which a user reserves a service provided by a service provider via the Internet is widely used. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a reservation receiving system that receives a service use reservation from a user via the Internet.

  Further, as in Patent Document 2, for example, a schedule management system for sharing the schedule of each employee belonging to the company within the company is also widely used.

  As a service provided by a service provider, there is a service provided at an arbitrary place desired by a user. For example, in such a service, a sales representative is dispatched to an arbitrary place desired by the user to respond to the user's consultation, and a photographer is dispatched to an arbitrary store desired by the user. A service for taking a picture according to the request of the customer is included.

JP 2001-216349 A Japanese Patent No. 6361774

  The reservation reception system described in Patent Document 1 assumes that a user makes a reservation for a service provided at a predetermined position. Therefore, the technique described in Patent Document 1 cannot be used as it is when reserving a service provided at an arbitrary place that is not limited to a predetermined position.

  The schedule management system described in Patent Document 2 enables each employee to register a schedule and grasps the registered schedule. However, with respect to schedules each performed at an arbitrary place, the travel time generated between schedules is not considered. Therefore, for example, when a receptionist who accepts a reservation from a user using a telephone or the like uses a conventional schedule management system, the receptionist determines where an already confirmed schedule is scheduled for each employee. It is necessary to check whether the schedule can be registered in consideration of the travel time to a desired position desired by the user.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a system suitable for reservation of a service provided at an arbitrary place.

  According to one aspect of the present invention, for each of a plurality of workers, a server that is communicably connected to a storage resource that stores information about a moving unit and reserved schedule information including a reservation date and time and a reservation position is In response to receiving the reservation condition including the required time and / or the condition date, based on the movement time calculated using the moving means and schedule information and the reservation condition of each of the plurality of workers, A candidate deciding unit for deciding the worker who can be reserved under the reservation condition and a candidate for the visit date and time, and a transmitting unit for transmitting information on the decided worker and the candidate for the visit date and time. , The visit date and time of the worker who can be reserved, and information on the position immediately before the worker indicated by the reserved position of the reserved schedule information immediately before the worker. No, and a transmission unit.

  According to this aspect, in order to reserve a service provided by an operator provided at an arbitrary location, the server only takes into account the travel time by receiving the condition position, the required time, and / or the condition date. It is possible to provide information on workers who can be reserved above and candidates for visit dates.

  In the server, the transmission unit may transmit information regarding a map including a position immediately before each candidate and a condition position. According to this aspect, the server can provide the positional relationship between the conditional position and the position immediately before each candidate worker.

  In the server, the storage resource further stores information regarding the base position for each of the plurality of workers, and the candidate determination unit includes the base position in addition to the moving means, schedule information, and reservation conditions for each of the plurality of workers. When the travel time is calculated by using and the immediately preceding reserved schedule information does not exist, the base position may be used as the immediately preceding position. Alternatively, in the server, the reserved position may include a base position.

  According to these aspects, the server can calculate the travel time using the base position and make a reservation based on the calculated travel time even for an operator who does not have the reserved schedule information just applied for by the user. An operator can be determined.

  In the server, the candidate determination unit calculates the travel time using the immediately preceding position, the condition position, the position immediately after the worker indicated by the reserved position of the reserved schedule information immediately after the worker, and the moving means. Thus, a predetermined number of workers whose calculated movement time is short may be determined as candidates.

  According to this aspect, since the worker whose calculated travel time is short is determined as a candidate, it is possible to minimize a loss related to the travel time, which can be considered as the cost of service provision.

  In response to receiving a detailed request for requesting a detailed schedule of a specific worker in the server, the position immediately before the specific worker, the travel time from the previous position to the condition position, and the work A detailed request receiving unit that specifies the position immediately after the worker indicated by the reserved position of the reserved schedule information immediately after the operator and the travel time from the condition position to the immediately following position, You may transmit the information which the reception part specified, the reservation date and time of the last reserved schedule information, the visit date and time, and the reservation date and time of the next reserved schedule information.

  According to this aspect, the server can provide detailed information that can be used when determining whether or not to reserve a specific candidate.

  In the above server, when there is no worker who can be reserved under the reservation condition, the candidate determination unit may determine a worker who satisfies an alternative condition in which a part of the reservation condition is changed and a visit date / time candidate. According to this aspect, even when there is no worker who satisfies the reservation condition, the server can provide information regarding the worker who satisfies the alternative condition close to the reservation condition and the visit date / time candidate. Thereby, increase of the reservation conditions transmitted to a server can be suppressed.

  According to another aspect of the present invention, for each of a plurality of workers, a computer that is communicably connected to a storage resource that stores information related to moving means and reserved schedule information including a reservation date and time and a reservation position is executed. The method includes a step of receiving a reservation condition including a condition position, a required time and / or a condition date, and in response to receiving the reservation condition, each of a plurality of workers and schedule information and a reservation condition Determining a worker who can be reserved under the reservation condition and a visit date candidate based on the travel time calculated using the information, and transmitting information regarding the determined worker and the visit date candidate For each candidate, information about the candidate is indicated by the visit date and time of the worker who can make a reservation and the reservation position of the reserved schedule information immediately before the worker. Is including information about the position immediately before the operator, and a step.

Examples of the driver program include a communication interface driver program for controlling the communication interface 21.

  Examples of various data include an operator DB 225, a schedule DB 226, and map information 227.

  The worker DB 225 stores basic worker information. In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, it is desirable that an operator code, base location, moving means, vacation information, working time information, and the like are registered in the worker DB 225. The worker code is information for uniquely identifying the worker. Note that the code in this specification is information including one or more of kanji, hiragana, katakana, alphanumeric characters, symbols, and the like.

  The base position is information indicating the position where the worker is the base of the activity. For example, an office where he / she works, an address of his home, or the like is set. In the present embodiment, the base position is used as the previous position when there is no previous schedule when calculating the travel time described later. In another embodiment, schedule information described later may be registered with the base position as a reserved position. The moving means is information indicating a means by which the worker moves, and for example, a train, a car, a bicycle, or the like is set.

In the present embodiment, the reservation condition includes a condition position, a required time, and a condition date.

  In one embodiment, the candidate determination unit 222 can determine a worker candidate based on the position immediately before the worker. As the immediately preceding position, for example, the base position is used when there is no reserved position of the schedule immediately before the worker or when the immediately preceding schedule does not exist. The candidate determination unit 222 may calculate the movement time based on the immediately preceding position, the condition position, and the moving unit, and determine an operator with a short movement time as a candidate.

  In another embodiment, the candidate determination unit 222 can determine the worker candidate based on the position immediately after the worker in addition to the position immediately before the worker. As the position immediately after, for example, the reserved position of the schedule immediately after the worker or the base position is used when there is no immediately following schedule. The candidate determination unit 222 may calculate the movement time based on the immediately preceding position, the condition position, the immediately following position, and the moving means, and determine an operator having a short moving time as a candidate. In addition, the candidate determination unit 222 uses the immediately preceding position, the condition position, the immediately following position, and the moving means to move from the immediately preceding position to the immediately following position, and the condition position from the immediately preceding position. Then, a difference with the movement time when moving to the position immediately after that may be calculated, and an operator with a short difference may be determined as a candidate.

  In this embodiment, the candidate determination unit 222 first sets the condition date based on the reserved position in the schedule information registered in the schedule DB 226 or the base position in the worker information registered in the worker DB 225. Search for workers near the condition position. For example, the candidate determination unit 222 may search for workers within a predetermined range (for example, 30 km from the reserved position or the base position to the condition position).

  Next, the candidate determination unit 222 determines whether the searched worker can make a reservation. Specifically, the candidate determination unit 222 determines whether or not the worker whose schedule information is registered can stay at the condition position for the required time during working hours, the reservation time of the reserved schedule information, and It is determined whether or not the worker can make a reservation based on the travel time calculated based on the reservation position and the condition position. An operator whose schedule information is not registered is considered to be available for reservation. Note that the candidate determination unit 222 determines whether reservations can be made in the order of proximity to the condition position on the condition date, and the next time when the number of workers that can make reservations reaches a predetermined number (for example, 10 people). You may pass the process.

  Subsequently, the candidate determination unit 222 determines a reservation visitable time for a worker who can make a reservation. For example, the candidate determination unit 222 may determine the earliest time as the visit time among the reservable times within working hours.

  Finally, the candidate determination unit 222 determines a predetermined number (for example, 1 to 3) of workers as candidates from among the workers that can be reserved. In the present embodiment, the candidate determination unit 222 calculates the movement time based on the immediately preceding position, the condition position, the immediately following position, and the moving means, and determines an operator with a short moving time as a candidate.

  In response to receiving a detailed request for requesting a worker's detailed schedule from the terminal device 4, the detail request receiving unit 223 specifies information for creating the worker's schedule map screen. In the present embodiment, the detail request includes an operator code. In one embodiment, the detail request receiving unit 223 may specify the position immediately before the worker and the travel time from the immediately preceding position to the condition position. In another embodiment, the detailed request receiving unit 223 adds the immediately preceding position and the moving position from the condition position to the immediately following position in addition to the position immediately before the worker and the movement time from the immediately preceding position to the condition position. Time may be specified.

  In response to receiving a reservation request for reserving the worker's schedule from the terminal device 4, the registration unit 224 registers the worker's schedule information. In the present embodiment, the reservation request includes an operator code, a condition position, a visit date, and a visit time, and the registration unit 224 registers schedule information in the schedule DB 226 based on the reservation request.

(Schedule reservation process)
Next, the operation of the schedule management system 1 will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of schedule reservation processing according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  When the user activates the reservation application 451 of the terminal device 4, the reservation application 451 displays a condition setting screen on the display device 44 (S101). In the present embodiment, the reservation condition includes a condition position, a required time, and a condition date. When the user designates a condition position on the condition setting screen (S102), the position receiving unit 452 of the reservation application 451 transmits the condition position to the schedule management server 2 (S103), and the surroundings that pin the condition position as a response The map is received (S104) and displayed on the display device 44 (S105). Here, it is assumed that the position receiving unit 452 displays the surrounding map in the map area 600 of the condition setting screen in response to the designation of the condition position shown in FIG.

  Subsequently, when the user specifies the required time and the condition date on the condition setting screen (S106), the search request unit 453 of the reservation application 451 transmits the reservation condition to the schedule management server 2 (S107).

  In response to receiving the reservation condition from the terminal device 4, the candidate determination unit 222 of the schedule management server 2 determines a cameraman who can make a reservation and a candidate for the visit date and time (S108). In the present embodiment, the candidate determination unit 222 determines a cameraman who can be reserved and a visit date / time candidate based on the worker DB 225, the schedule DB 226, and the map DB 227. In this embodiment, the candidate determination unit 222 determines three candidate photographers that can be reserved. Details of the candidate determination process will be described later. Here, the candidate determination unit 222 passes the determined three worker codes, moving means, immediately preceding position, visit date, and visit time to the screen transmission unit 221 of the schedule management server 2.

  The screen transmission unit 221 creates a suggestion map screen that presents the photographer candidate and transmits it to the terminal device 4 (S109). Here, it is assumed that the screen transmission unit 221 creates a suggestion map screen illustrated in FIG. 7 and transmits it to the terminal device 4.

  The user selects a candidate for which a reservation is desired from candidates presented on the suggest map screen (S110). Here, it is assumed that the candidate control 704 for candidate 1 is selected. The detail request unit 454 of the reservation application 451 transmits a detail request for requesting a detailed schedule of the photographer to the schedule management server 2 (S111). In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the detailed request includes the worker code, and here, the detailed request unit 454 transmits a detailed request including the worker code “001” to the schedule management server 2.

  In response to receiving the detail request from the terminal device 4, the detail request receiving unit 223 of the schedule management server 2 identifies information for creating the worker's schedule map screen (S112). In the present embodiment, the detailed request receiving unit 223 specifies the position immediately before the worker, the movement time from the immediately preceding position to the condition position, the immediately following position, and the movement time from the condition position to the immediately following position. Here, the detailed request accepting unit 223 moves the position immediately before the identified worker, the movement time from the immediately preceding position to the condition position (20 minutes), the position immediately after, and the movement time from the condition position to the position immediately after ( 20 minutes) to the screen transmission unit 221.

  The screen transmission unit 221 creates a schedule map screen that presents the detailed schedule of the worker and transmits it to the terminal device 4 (S113). Here, it is assumed that the screen transmission unit 221 creates and transmits the schedule map screen shown in FIG.

  On the schedule map screen, the user issues a confirmation instruction for confirming the schedule information of the reservation schedule (S114). Here, it is assumed that the reservation confirmation control 802 is selected.

  The reservation receiving unit 455 of the reservation application 451 creates a reservation confirmation screen and displays it on the display device 44 (S115). Here, it is assumed that the reservation receiving unit 455 creates the reservation confirmation screen shown in FIG. 9 and displays it on the display device 44. The user gives a reservation instruction for reserving the confirmed schedule on the displayed reservation confirmation screen (S116). Here, it is assumed that the reservation control 801 is selected.

  The reservation accepting unit 455 transmits a reservation request for reserving the worker's schedule to the schedule management server 2 (S117). In the present embodiment, the reservation request includes the worker code, the condition position, the visit date, and the visit. Time is included. Here, the reservation receiving unit 455 has the worker code “001”, the condition position “1-1-1 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo”, the visit date “October 1, 2018”, and the visit time “15: 00- It is assumed that a reservation request including “16:00” is transmitted to the schedule management server 2.

  The registration unit 224 of the schedule management server 2 registers the schedule information of the worker in response to receiving the reservation request from the terminal device 4 (S118). In the present embodiment, the registration unit 224 registers schedule information in the schedule DB 226 based on the reservation request.

  In the present embodiment, an example in which the image transmission unit 221 of the schedule management server 2 creates a suggestion map screen and a schedule map screen and transmits them to the terminal device 4 has been described. However, in another embodiment, the candidate determination unit 222 performs S106. The information determined in step S1 and the information specified in S110 by the detailed request receiving unit 223 may be transmitted to the terminal device 4, and a screen may be created on the reservation application 451 side of the terminal device 4.

(Candidate decision processing)
Next, the candidate determination process of the schedule management server 2 will be described with reference to FIG. Here, an example will be described in which the candidate determination unit 222 calculates a movement time based on the immediately preceding position, the condition position, the immediately following position, and the moving means, and determines an operator with a short moving time as a candidate.

  The candidate determination unit 222 receives the reservation condition from the terminal device 4 (S201). In the present embodiment, the reservation condition includes a condition position, a required time, and a condition date. Here, the candidate determination unit 222 receives the reservation condition including the condition position “1-1-1 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo”, the required time “1 hour”, and the condition date “October 1, 2018”. To do.

  In response to receiving the reservation condition, the candidate determination unit 222 sets the condition date based on the reservation position in the schedule information registered in the schedule DB 226 or the base position in the worker information registered in the worker DB 225. A worker near the condition position is searched (S202). In the present embodiment, the candidate determination unit 222 searches for a worker whose distance from the reserved position or base position to the condition position is 30 km. Here, the candidate determination unit 222 searches for 15 workers from the reserved position or base position to the condition position “1-1-1 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo” on the condition date “October 1, 2018”. Shall be.

  Next, the candidate determination unit 222 determines whether or not the searched worker can make a reservation (S203). Specifically, the candidate determination unit 222 determines whether or not the worker whose schedule information is registered can stay at the condition position for the required time during working hours, the reserved time of the reserved schedule information, and It is determined whether the worker can make a reservation based on the travel time calculated based on the reservation position and the condition position. An operator whose schedule information is not registered is considered to be available for reservation. Here, it is assumed that the candidate determination unit 222 determines that 11 of the 15 people searched in S202 can be reserved.

  Subsequently, the candidate determination unit 222 determines a visitable visit time for an operator who is determined to be available for reservation (S204). In the present embodiment, the candidate determination unit 222 determines the earliest time as the visit time among the reservationable times within the working hours.

  Finally, the candidate determination unit 222 calculates a travel time for the worker determined to be available for reservation based on the immediately preceding position, the condition position, the immediately following position, and the moving means (S205), and the travel time. A predetermined number of workers (for example, from 1 to 3) is determined as candidates (S206). Here, it is assumed that the candidate determining unit 222 has determined three candidates with a short calculated travel time as candidates from the eleven determined to be available for reservation in S203.

  In the present embodiment, an example has been described in which the candidate determining unit 222 calculates the travel time based on the immediately preceding position, the condition position, the immediately following position, and the moving means, and determines an operator with a short travel time as a candidate. However, as described above, an operator having a short movement time calculated using the immediately preceding position, condition position, and moving means may be determined as a candidate, or calculated using the immediately preceding position and condition position. An operator with a short moving distance may be determined as a candidate. In addition, the candidate determination unit 222 uses the immediately preceding position, the condition position, the immediately following position, and the moving means to move from the immediately preceding position to the immediately following position, and the condition position from the immediately preceding position. Then, the difference with the movement time when moving to the next position may be calculated, and an operator with a short difference may be determined as a candidate, or the movement distance when moving from the previous position to the next position Then, the difference between the previous movement position and the movement distance when moving to the next position via the condition position may be calculated, and an operator with a short difference may be determined as a candidate.

  As described above, according to the schedule management system 1 in the present embodiment, it is possible to reserve a service by a photographer provided at an arbitrary place. A user applying for a reservation can specify information regarding the best candidate with a short travel time from among photographers who can make a reservation by considering the travel time only by specifying the condition position, required time and condition date for which the reservation is desired. Obtainable.

  In addition, the terminal device according to the present embodiment displays a suggestion map screen that visually presents cameraman candidates, so that the user can determine the position immediately before the photographer displayed on the suggestion map screen, the moving means, and the like. Candidate selection can be easily performed.

  In addition, the schedule management server 2 in the present embodiment determines a cameraman with a short travel time as a candidate based on the immediately preceding position, the condition position, the immediately following position, and the traveling time calculated using the moving means. The loss related to travel time, which can be considered as the cost of service provision, can be minimized.

(Additional embodiments)
In the candidate determination process by the candidate determination unit 222, it is assumed that there is no worker candidate that satisfies the reservation condition specified by the terminal device 4. In such a case, in an additional embodiment, the candidate determination unit 222 may present to the terminal device 4 candidates for workers who satisfy an alternative condition that can be reserved. For example, in S203, when there is an operator who can determine that reservation is possible by reducing the required time in S203, the candidate determining unit 222 includes the alternative condition including the reduced required time and the candidate of the worker who satisfies the alternative condition. May be presented to the terminal device 4. Alternatively, when there is no worker who can be reserved on the condition date, the candidate determination unit 222 may present the terminal device 4 with the alternative condition including the changed condition date and the candidate of the worker who satisfies the alternative date. .

  As described above, according to the schedule management system 1 in the present embodiment, a user who applies for a reservation is a cameraman who satisfies an alternative condition close to the reservation condition even when there is no photographer who can make a reservation under the reservation condition he / she desires. Information about candidates can be obtained.

  In addition, when the schedule management server 2 in the present embodiment presents information regarding the candidate photographer who satisfies the alternative condition to the terminal device 4 when there is no photographer who can be reserved under the reservation conditions, the schedule management server 2 The increase in the reservation conditions transmitted to 2 can be suppressed.
