FIG. 18 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of an image displayed by the terminal device 2 (recruitment device 2a) used in the participation management system described in the present application. FIG. 18 shows an image based on the candidate information request displayed in step S208 of the recruitment process shown in FIG. In the image, the wording "Friend selection" is shown at the top, and below that, there is a display indicating that the tab "Selected" has been selected. The image shown in FIG. 18 is an image for confirming the selected candidate, and is a user of the candidate (including the directly input participant) selected by "list", "group", and "direct input". The ID and display name are listed. The directly input participant is displayed as "guest" because the user ID is not assigned. The recruiter completes the input of the candidate by inputting an image indicating "completed" at the bottom of the list.

Returning to the flowchart of FIG. 13, the control unit 20 of the recruiting device 2a accepts the input of candidate information indicating the candidate who is a candidate for participation in the event at the input display unit 25 (S209), and the accepted candidate. Information is transmitted from the communication unit 23 to the management support device 1 via the communication network NW (S210). Candidates indicated in the candidate information received in step S209 and transmitted in step S210 include a registered person to which a user ID is assigned and an unregistered person.

The control unit 10 of the management support device 1 receives the candidate information in the communication unit 13 and performs the lower limit determination process of the number of candidates indicated by the received candidate information (S211). The lower limit determination process is a process for determining whether or not the number of candidates shown in the candidate information is equal to or greater than the lower limit number recorded in the event table 11b, and the number of candidates is less than the lower limit number. In that case, even if all the candidates participate, the event will not be established, so it is judged that the candidates cannot be confirmed. When the control unit 10 determines that the number of candidates is less than the lower limit by the lower limit determination process, the control unit 10 retransmits the candidate information request to request the recruiting device 2a to re-input.

After the lower limit determination process, the control unit 10 performs an upper limit determination process for the number of candidates indicated by the candidate information (S212). The upper limit determination process is a process for determining whether or not the number of unregistered persons shown in the candidate information is less than or equal to the upper limit number of persons recorded in the event table 11b, and only the unregistered persons who are premised on participation. If the maximum number of people is exceeded, it is judged that the candidate cannot be confirmed. When the control unit 10 determines by the upper limit determination process that the number of unregistered persons exceeds the upper limit, the control unit 10 retransmits the candidate information request to request re-input to the recruiting device 2a.

After the lower limit determination process and the upper limit determination process, the control unit 10 transmits confirmation screen information from the communication unit 13 to the recruitment device 2a via the communication network NW in order to request confirmation of the candidate (S213).

The control unit 20 of the recruiting device 2a receives the confirmation screen information in the communication unit 23, and displays an image based on the received confirmation screen information on the input display unit 25 (S214).

Input to indicate the image shown as. It is also possible to correct or cancel the event itself by performing a predetermined operation.

Returning to the flowchart of FIG. 13, the control unit 20 of the recruiting device 2a receives the input of the confirmation instruction for confirming the recruitment content from the input display unit 25 (S215), and issues the confirmation instruction instructing the confirmation of the content to the communication unit. It is transmitted from 23 to the management support device 1 via the communication network NW (S216). When the input of the friend change is accepted, the process returns to step S208 and the subsequent processes are repeated. When correcting the event itself, the process returns to step S202 and the subsequent processing is repeated.

The control unit 10 of the management support device 1 receives the confirmation instruction in the communication unit 13, determines the candidate information, and records it in the candidate table 11c (S217). Candidate information is recorded in the candidate table 11c in association with the event ID. At this stage, none of the candidates have responded to the recruitment, so the user IDs of all the registered candidates are recorded in the user ID (candidate), and the user ID (participant) is the user ID. Is not recorded. For unregistered persons entered as direct input, the entered name is recorded in the external user name. In addition, at this stage, information indicating unanswered information is recorded in the reply flag.

Then, the control unit 10 transmits recruitment information for soliciting participation in the event from the communication unit 23 to the candidate indicated by the user ID recorded as the user ID (candidate) (S218). The recruitment information is sent by e-mail to the e-mail address recorded in the user table 11a. The recruitment information sent as an e-mail may be the recruitment content itself, or instruction information such as a URL (Universal Resource Locator) that indicates a position on the communication network NW in order to guide the user to view the recruitment content. It may be.

Further below, information about the candidate recorded in the candidate table 11c such as "participation", "undecided", and "decline" indicating the display name of the participant (candidate) and the response status is displayed. There is. Candidates can reply to the recruitment by confirming the displayed contents and inputting to indicate any of the images of "participation", "hold", and "decline".

As described above, the recruitment process for setting the event, selecting the candidate, and recruiting the participants is executed.

FIG. 21 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of an image displayed by the terminal device 2 (recruitment device 2a) used in the participation management system of the present invention. By scrolling the image shown on the left side of FIG. 21 downward, the image shown on the right side of FIG. 21 is displayed. After the recruitment process is completed, the recruiter can display a list of a plurality of events for which recruitment has been performed by logging in using the recruitment device 2a, and input instructing the desired recruitment content among them. As a result, the application status for the recruitment can be confirmed by the image illustrated in FIG.

In the image shown in FIG. 21, the wording "inviting" is shown at the upper part, and an image showing an explanation such as "the invitation can be confirmed or canceled" is displayed below it. Further below, the reply deadline (recruitment end deadline), title, date and start time (start date and time), location, estimated price (price), minimum number of people (minimum number of people) indicating the content of the event being recruited , Maximum number of people (upper limit number of people), remarks, etc., and a list of information indicating the recruitment contents recorded in the event table 11b is displayed. Further below, information about the candidate recorded in the candidate table 11c such as "participation", "undecided", and "decline" indicating the display name of the participant (candidate) and the response status is displayed. There is. From the image page, it is possible to confirm and cancel the recruitment, and to add more candidates. When adding recruitment, processing such as accepting candidate information input performed in the recruitment process is executed.

FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing an example of a response transmission process of the terminal device 2 (candidate device 2b) used in the participation management system described in the present application. When the user who has confirmed the image illustrated in FIG. 20 displayed on the candidate device 2b responds to the recruitment, the candidate apparatus 2b executes the response process. The control unit 20 of the candidate device 2b accepts input of answer information indicating any of "participation", "hold", and "decline" from the input display unit 25 (S301), and communicates the received answer information. It is transmitted from the unit 23 to the management support device 1 via the communication network NW (S302). The response information to be transmitted includes an event ID indicating an event to be answered and information indicating an answer in association with the user ID of the candidate.

As described above, the answer transmission process for transmitting the candidate's answer is executed.

FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing an example of the response recording process of the management support device 1 used in the participation management system described in the present application. When the management support device 1 receives the reply information transmitted from the candidate device 2b, the management support device 1 executes the reply recording process. The management support device 1 receives the answer information in the communication unit 13 by the processing of the control unit 10 that executes the management support program PG (S401), and records the answer shown in the received answer information in the candidate table 11c. Execute the answer recording process (S402). In step S402, the reply flag indicated by the answer is recorded in association with the user ID indicated by the answer information for the candidate table 11c specified by the event ID indicated by the received answer information. If the answer is "participation", the user ID of the candidate is recorded as the user ID (participant).

By recording the received response, the control unit 10 determines whether or not it is determined that the minimum number of people cannot be reached (S403). The uncertain determination process in step S403 determines whether or not the sum of the number of unanswered persons and the number of participants is less than the lower limit number of persons recorded in the event table 11b, and if it is less than the lower limit number of persons. , It is a process to judge that it is determined that the minimum number of people cannot be reached because the minimum number of people is not reached even if all the non-responders participate.

When it is determined in step S403 that the minimum number of people can be reached (S403: NO), the control unit 10 determines whether or not the number of participants has reached the maximum number of people recorded in the event table 11b. Judgment (S404).

When it is determined in step S404 that the number of participants has reached the upper limit (S404: YES), the control unit 10 executes the participant determination process (S405), and transmits the recruitment result information indicating the recruitment result to the communication unit. It is transmitted from 13 to the terminal device 2 via the communication network NW (S406). In the participant confirmation process of step S405, the candidate table 11c is accessed, "non-participation" is recorded in the reply flag corresponding to the unanswered or pending user ID (candidate), and the acceptance of the reply to the event is terminated. It is a process to make it. In step S406, the recruitment result is sent to the recruiter and the candidate by e-mail to the e-mail address recorded in the user table 11a. Further, by registering the e-mail address of the golf course as the "location" in the event table 11b, it is possible to send the confirmed result to the golf course and confirm the reservation.

If it is determined in step S403 that the minimum number of people cannot be reached (S403: YES), the control unit 10 executes the event cancellation process (S407), and the cancellation information indicating that the event has been canceled. Is transmitted from the communication unit 13 to the terminal device 2 via the communication network NW (S408). The event cancellation process in step S407 is a process of accessing the candidate table 11c, recording "non-participation" in the reply flags corresponding to all user IDs (candidates), and ending the reception of the reply to the event. .. In the event cancellation process, even if the reply flag is "participation", it is updated to "non-participation". In step S408, the cancellation information is sent to the recruiter and the candidate by e-mail to the e-mail address recorded in the user table 11a.

If it is determined in step S404 that the number of participants has not reached the upper limit (S404: NO), the response recording process is terminated, and the state of waiting for the next response information is received.

As described above, the answer recording process is executed as the process when the answer information is received.

FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing an example of the first non-participation process of the management support device 1 used in the participation management system described in the present application. The first non-participation process is a process performed by the management support device 1 after the recruitment process is performed, and is a process in which a candidate whose event is held during the avoidance period is not participated. The management support device 1 accesses the candidate table 11c and the repellent time table 11e under the control of the control unit 10 that executes the management support program PG, and is indicated by the user ID (candidate) recorded in the candidate table 11c. Information indicating the repellent time recorded in the repellent time table 11e is acquired for the candidate (S501).

Further, the control unit 10 accesses the event table 11b and the candidate table 11c, and the user ID (candidate) of the candidate whose start date and time (participation time) for the event recorded in the event table 11b corresponds to the acquired repellent time. The reply flag corresponding to (S502) is not participated (S502). As described above, the first non-participation process is a process in which a candidate whose start date and time (participation time) for the event recorded in the event table 11b corresponds to the avoidance time recorded in the time table is not participated.

As described above, the first non-participation process is executed. The first non-participation process may not be executed after the recruitment process is executed, but may be executed after the candidate information is recorded in step S217 of the recruitment process described with reference to FIG. Recruitment information will not be sent to candidates who fall under the category and are not participated. By the first non-participation process, the attendance of the candidate corresponding to the avoidance period is automatically determined as non-participation, so that the convenience of the candidate can be improved, and the candidate does not need to answer. , It is possible to confirm whether or not to participate at an early stage.

FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing an example of the second non-participation process of the management support device 1 used in the participation management system described in the present application. The second non-participation process is a process that is periodically and repeatedly performed by the management support device 1 after the recruitment process is performed, and is a process in which a candidate who has not responded for the registered period or more is not participated. The management support device 1 accesses the event table 11b and the candidate table 11c under the control of the control unit 10 that executes the management support program PG, and extracts the user IDs of unanswered candidates for each event (S601). In step S601, the candidates who have not received the response information for the recruitment and the candidates who have received the response information but the response content is "pending" are extracted as non-responders.

The control unit 10 accesses the response period table 11d based on the extracted user ID of each non-responder, and acquires information indicating the response period recorded in the response period table 11d (S602).

Further, the control unit 10 determines whether or not the response period recorded in the response period table 11d has elapsed for the candidate who has not received the response information (S603). The response period is a period from the start, which is appropriately set when the candidate browses the recruitment information, when the recruitment information is transmitted, and the like, and is set for each candidate.

If it is determined in step S603 that the response period has elapsed (S603: YES), the control unit 10 executes a non-participation process in which the response from the candidate whose response period has expired is non-participating (S604). In step S604, the control unit 10 accesses the candidate table 11c as the non-participation process, and sets the reply flag corresponding to the user ID (candidate) of the candidate to be the non-participation process to non-participation. When the non-participation process of step S604 is executed, the control unit 10 subsequently executes the processes of steps S403 to S406 of the answer recording process described with reference to FIG. 23.

If it is determined in step S603 that the response period has not elapsed (S603: NO), the control unit 10 ends the process for the candidate. The processes of steps S602 to S604 are executed for all unanswered candidates extracted in step S601.

As described above, the second non-participation process is executed. By the second non-participation process, the attendance of candidates who have not responded to the recruitment is automatically determined to be non-participation, so that the convenience of the candidate can be improved, and even if the candidate does not respond. , It is possible to confirm whether or not to participate.

FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing an example of the recruitment end processing of the management support device 1 used in the participation management system described in the present application. The recruitment end process is a process that is periodically and repeatedly performed by the management support device 1 after the recruitment process is performed, and is a process that is performed for an event that has reached the recruitment end time. The management support device 1 accesses the event table 11b under the control of the control unit 10 that executes the management support program PG, acquires information indicating the recruitment end time for the event (S701), and reaches the recruitment end time. Whether or not it is determined (S702).

When it is determined in step S702 that the recruitment end time has been reached (S702: YES), the control unit 10 accesses the event table 11b and the candidate table 11c, and the number of participating candidates, that is, participation. It is determined whether or not the number of persons is equal to or greater than the minimum number of persons (S703).

When it is determined in step S703 that the number of participants is equal to or greater than the minimum number of participants (S703: YES), the control unit 10 executes the participant determination process (S704), and transmits the recruitment result information indicating the recruitment result from the communication unit 13. It is transmitted to the terminal device 2 via the communication network NW (S705). In the participant confirmation process of step S704, the candidate table 11c is accessed, "non-participation" is recorded in the reply flag corresponding to the unanswered or pending user ID (candidate), and the acceptance of the reply to the event is terminated. It is a process to make it. In step S705, the recruitment result is sent to the recruiter and the candidate by e-mail to the email address recorded in the user table 11a.

When it is determined in step S703 that the number of participants is less than the lower limit (S703: NO), the control unit 10 executes the event cancellation process (S706) and communicates the cancellation information indicating that the event has been canceled. It is transmitted from the unit 13 to the terminal device 2 via the communication network NW (S707). The event cancellation process in step S706 is a process of accessing the candidate table 11c, recording "non-participation" in the reply flags corresponding to all user IDs (candidates), and ending the reception of the reply to the event. .. In the event cancellation process, even if the reply flag is "participation", it is updated to "non-participation". In step S707, the cancellation information is sent to the recruiter and the candidate by e-mail to the e-mail address recorded in the user table 11a.

If it is determined in step S702 that the recruitment end time has not been reached (S702: NO), the recruitment end process is terminated.

As described above, the recruitment end process is executed.

FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing an example of early termination instruction processing of the recruitment device 2a used in the participation management system described in the present application. The early termination instruction processing is a processing in which the recruiter terminates the recruitment when the number of participants for the event has not reached the maximum number of participants and the recruitment end time has not been reached. For example, from the image shown in FIG. It is executed by inputting an instruction to "confirm" or "stop".

The control unit 20 of the recruiting device 2a receives the input of the early termination instruction of confirmation or cancellation on the input display unit 25 (S801), and communicates the early termination instruction information indicating the content of the received early termination instruction from the communication unit 23. It is transmitted to the management support device 1 via the network NW (S802). The transmitted early termination instruction information includes information such as an event ID to be terminated. As described above, the early termination instruction processing is executed.

FIG. 28 is a flowchart showing an example of early termination processing of the management support device 1 used in the participation management system described in the present application. The early termination process is a process executed when the management support device 1 receives the early termination instruction information. The management support device 1 receives the early termination instruction information in the communication unit 13 under the control of the control unit 10 that executes the management support program PG (S901).

The control unit 10 accesses the event table 11b and the candidate table 11c based on the event ID indicated by the received early termination instruction information, and whether the number of participants is the minimum number or more for the event to be terminated. Whether or not it is determined (S902).

When it is determined in step S902 that the number of participants is equal to or greater than the minimum number of participants (S902: YES), the control unit 10 determines whether or not the received early termination instruction is a process for instructing "confirmation" (S903). ).

When it is determined in step S903 that it is a confirmation instruction (S903: YES), the control unit 10 executes the participant confirmation process (S904), and sends the recruitment result information indicating the recruitment result from the communication unit 13 to the communication network NW. It is transmitted to the terminal device 2 via (S905). In the participant confirmation process of step S904, the candidate table 11c is accessed, "non-participation" is recorded in the reply flag corresponding to the unanswered or pending user ID (candidate), and the acceptance of the reply to the event is terminated. It is a process to make it. In step S905, the recruitment result is sent to the recruiter and the candidate by e-mail to the email address recorded in the user table 11a.

If it is determined in step S902 that the number of participants is less than the minimum number of participants (S902: NO), or if it is determined in step S903 that the instruction is to be stopped rather than confirmed (S903: NO), the control unit 10 causes an event. The cancellation process is executed (S906), and the cancellation information indicating that the event has been canceled is transmitted from the communication unit 13 to the terminal device 2 via the communication network NW (S907). The event cancellation process in step S906 is a process of accessing the candidate table 11c, recording "non-participation" in the reply flags corresponding to all user IDs (candidates), and ending the reception of the reply to the event. .. In the event cancellation process, even if the reply flag is "participation", it is updated to "non-participation". In step S907, the cancellation information is sent to the recruiter and the candidate by e-mail to the e-mail address recorded in the user table 11a.

As described above, the early termination process is executed. By executing the early termination instruction processing and the early termination processing in this way, it is possible to confirm whether or not to participate even if all the candidates have not responded to the recruitment. Even if the number of participants is less than the minimum number, it is possible to design as appropriate, such as adding a procedure that can hold an event.

In the above embodiment, one of the users uses the terminal device as a recruiter, but a service entity that plans various events (events) uses the terminal device as a recruiter and recruits for the event. It is also possible to do it. For example, a service entity that manages a golf course or a service entity that receives a request from a golf course owner can recruit participants for an event as sale information that can be played at a low price. is there. When a service entity solicits participation in an event, it does not become a participant by itself. In addition, when the service entity recruits participants as sale information, for example, it is possible to register multiple groups of events such as a group of 4 people and a group of 2 people, and recruit participants for each group. It is possible. On the other hand, a user who is a candidate for participation in an event recruited by a service entity can apply by himself, and further, one of the multiple groups recruited is tentatively reserved. It is also possible to divert the event of one set that was tentatively reserved to the event that oneself recruits, and to solicit participation.

Such a diversion recruitment process will be described. FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing an example of a diversion solicitation process for the management support device 1 and the terminal device 2 (service entity / user) used in the participation management system described in the present application. In the description of the diversion solicitation process, the terminal device 2 used by the service entity will be described as the first terminal device 2c, and the terminal device 2 used by the user will be described as the second terminal device 2d.

The control unit 20 of the first terminal device 2c transmits event information and candidate information, which are sale information, from the communication unit 23 to the management support device 1 via the communication network NW (S1101). The event information as the sale information transmitted in step S1101 includes the sale master information and the individual sale information that define the events for a plurality of sets. Since candidate information is widely recruited, all users will be selected as candidates. For example, "Ladies' Day" for female users only and "Senior Day" for users over a certain age. It is also possible to set conditions such as ".

The management support device 1 receives event information and candidate information in the communication unit 13 under the control of the control unit 10 that executes the management support program PG, and records the received event information and candidate information in the recording unit 11. (S1102). In the recording process of step S1102, the event information and the candidate information may be recorded in the event table 11b and the candidate table 11c as in the case where one of the users becomes a recruiter, but the event information includes the event information. The sale master information, the individual sale information, and the candidate information may be recorded in the sale master, the sale table, and the notification table, respectively.

FIG. 30 is an explanatory diagram conceptually showing an example of the recorded contents of various tables included in the management support device 1 described in the present application. 30A and 30B are tables for recording event information and candidate information related to sale information, FIG. 30A is a sale master, FIG. 30B is a sale table, and FIG. 30C is a notification table. Is shown.

The sale master shown in FIG. 30A is a table for recording the conditions of events subject to sale defined as sale information. Various items such as a master ID, a title, remarks, a lunch flag, a cart flag, a caddy flag, a two-sum guarantee flag, and an up fee are set in the sale master.

The "master ID" is identification information for identifying the sale master, and a code string is assigned to each sale master. "Title" is a name given to a sale defined as sale information, and "remarks" is information appropriately set for the sale.

The "lunch flag", "cart flag", "caddy flag", "two-sum guarantee flag" and "up fee" are items for which specific conditions of the event are set. For example, in the items of "lunch flag", "cart flag", and "caddy flag", flag information indicating the presence or absence of services such as lunch, cart, and caddy, and the class is recorded. Further, in the item of "2-sum guarantee flag", for example, flag information indicating whether or not a group of 2 people can participate in a group of 4 people is recorded, and further, "up fee" Information indicating the additional charge when participating in a group of two people is recorded in the item.

The sale table shown in FIG. 30B is a table that defines individual events that are subject to the sale specified as the sale information recorded in the sale master. Various items such as a sale ID, a master ID, a start date and time, a recruitment end time, a start date and time, and remarks are set in the sale table, and a record including data associated with each item is recorded for each event.

The "sale ID" is identification information for identifying individual events subject to the sale, which is defined as the sale information. The "master ID" corresponds to the master ID recorded in the sale master, and in the relevant item of the sale table, indicates the sale master on which the event is based.

The "start date and time" indicates the date and time when the recruitment for the event starts, the "recruitment end time" indicates the time when the recruitment period for the event ends, and the "start date and time" indicates the start date and time of the event. There is.

"Remarks" is information that is appropriately set for the sale, and corresponds to the information in the remarks column recorded in the sale master.

The notification table shown in FIG. 30C is a table for recording candidate information, and records candidates to be recruited for an event as notification destinations. Various items such as a notification ID, a sale ID, a notification date and time, and a user ID (candidate) are set in the notification table, and a record including data associated with each item is recorded for each event.

The "notification ID" is identification information that identifies the candidate information recorded in the notification table. The "sale ID" corresponds to the sale ID recorded in the sale table, and the item in the notification table indicates an event related to the candidate.

The "notification date and time" is information indicating the date and time when the recruitment of participants is started or the period of recruitment as a sale notification.

The "user ID (candidate)" corresponds to the user ID recorded in the user table 11a, and the item in the notification table is a candidate (target of sale notification) who is a candidate for participation in the event. The user ID given to the person) is recorded.

Such a sale master, a sale table, and a notification table are configured in the recording area of the recording unit 11 included in the management support device 1 or in another recording device that can be appropriately accessed from the management support device 1.

In FIG. 29, it is described that the event information and the candidate information are transmitted at one time in order to avoid the explanation becoming redundant, but the processing of steps S1101 to S1102 in FIG. 29 will be described with reference to FIG. Similar to the processing of steps S201 to S217 of the recruiting process, the interactive user interface may be used. That is, operations for various processes such as creating (recording) or selecting a sale master, creating (recording) a sale table, and selecting a candidate are sequentially performed according to a predetermined screen displayed on the first terminal device 2c. , Transmission / reception and recording of various information based on the operation are performed by the management support device 1 or the like.

Returning to the flowchart shown in FIG. 29, the control unit 10 transmits recruitment information for soliciting participation in the event from the communication unit 23 to the candidate indicated by the user ID recorded in the notification table (S1103). The recruitment information in step S1103 is transmitted to the second terminal device 2d that has received the operation of confirming the sale information at the notification date and time set in the notification table. That is, the user can receive and browse the recruitment information as described later by performing an operation of confirming the sale information from a predetermined menu screen displayed on the second terminal device 2d.

The control unit 20 of the second terminal device 2d receives the recruitment information in the communication unit 23, and displays the received recruitment information on the input display unit 25 (S1104).

The user who operates the second terminal device 2d inputs a tentative reservation by designating one set of events among the plurality of sets of events displayed as recruitment information. The input of the tentative reservation is the input of the instruction to divert the event of recruiting participants as recruitment information as the event of recruiting participants by itself, and the designation of the event information shown in the received recruitment information and the input of the event information. It is a process of newly inputting candidate information.

The control unit 20 of the second terminal device 2d receives the input of the tentative reservation on the input display unit 25 (S1105), and receives the tentative reservation information based on the received tentative reservation from the communication unit 23 via the communication network NW. It is transmitted to 1 (S1106). The tentative reservation information transmitted in step S1106 includes event information and candidate information. As the event information related to the provisional reservation information, the event information registered by the service entity using the first terminal device 2c will be diverted, so it is not necessary to input the specific content of the event again, but "Remarks" It is also possible to add specific items such as "" as needed. It is possible to re-enter the "application deadline" item, but it is not possible to set a date and time after the application deadline for the event information related to the original recruitment information. The candidate information related to the provisional reservation information is information generated by substantially the same processing as the processing of steps S209 to S215 of the recruitment processing described with reference to FIG.

The control unit 10 of the management support device 1 receives the tentative reservation information in the communication unit 13 and performs a duplicate reservation determination process based on the received tentative reservation information (S1107). The duplicate reservation determination process in step S1107 is a process for determining whether or not another tentative reservation or another participating event is duplicated due to reasons such as having already made a reservation for an event on the same day. If it is determined in step S1107 that the tentative reservations and the like are duplicated, that fact is notified to the second terminal device 2d, and the tentative reservation processing described below is not executed.

After determining the duplicate reservation, the control unit 10 performs a provisional reservation process (S1108). The provisional reservation process in step S1108 is based on the event information and candidate information included in the provisional reservation information, and the recorded contents of the sale master and the sale table associated with the master ID and the sale ID included in the information. This is a process for newly recording event information in the event table 11b. Further, as a provisional reservation process, the control unit 10 executes a process of recording the candidate information in the candidate table 11c as needed based on the recording of the event information in the event table 11b. Further, as a provisional reservation process, the control unit 10 executes a process of associating the newly recorded event information of the event table 11b with the original event information recorded in step S1102 to clarify the diversion relationship.

Then, the control unit 10 transmits the diversion solicitation information for soliciting participation in the diversion event from the communication unit 23 to the candidate (S1109). The process of applying for the transmitted diversion solicitation information from the terminal device is the same as the process of applying for the normal solicitation information. That is, for the diversion recruitment information, the same processing as the normal recruitment information, such as response transmission processing, response recording processing, first non-participation processing, second non-participation processing, recruitment end processing, early end instruction processing, early end processing, etc. Is executed. Then, when the management support device 1 executes the participant confirmation process for the event related to the diversion recruitment information, the management support device 1 executes the participant confirmation process for the diversion event information, and further, the associated original event information. Execute the participant confirmation process for. Further, when the management support device 1 executes the event cancellation process for the event related to the diversion solicitation information, the management support device 1 executes the event cancellation process for the diverted event information, and further, the event for the associated original event information. Execute the cancel process. If the application deadline for the original event information is not reached when the event cancellation process is executed, the recruitment information for the event can be retransmitted.

That is, as a diversion solicitation process, one terminal device 2 (first terminal device 2c) transmits event information and candidate information so as to be recorded in the event table 11b and the candidate table 11c. In the other terminal device 2 (second terminal device 2d), the diversion event information and the candidate information related to the diversion event obtained by diverting the event related to the event information transmitted by one terminal device 2 recorded in advance in the event table 11b. Is transmitted for recording in the event table 11b and the candidate table 11c. The management support device 1 records other event information in the event table 11b in association with one event information recorded in the event table 11b. Then, the management support device 2 performs the process related to participation or non-participation in the participation recruitment for the event recorded as other event information for the event recorded as one event information associated with the other event information. Even do.

The diversion recruitment process is executed as described above. By executing the diversion solicitation process in this way, for example, the user selects the sale information provided by the service entity as a candidate to participate with any other user, and causes an event related to the sale information. On the other hand, it has excellent effects such as being able to apply as a tentative reservation.
