That is, the information processing system 600 according to the embodiment of the present invention may realize a point economic zone in which a plurality of companies renting the building enjoy the service by using the points issued by the owner who owns the building. For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, a predetermined point may be given in advance to a company using the sharing service by the owner of the building rented by each company. Hereinafter, the points issued by the building owner for the sharing service will be referred to as "first points". Each company may use the first point when using the space rented by another company. That is, for example, when an employee or the like of another company uses a conference room or the like of a certain company, the company that rents the conference room or the like uses the conference room or the like for the company that rents the conference room or the like. A sharing service may be realized by point operation such as paying the first point as consideration.

In the example of FIG. 1, the economic zone 10A of A points is formed in which the A points issued by the owner A who owns the building A are used by the companies A1 and A2 who rent the building A. In the example of FIG. 1, the company A1 and the company A2 that rent the building A can use the A points for payment in the sharing service in which the rented spaces can be used with each other. A store A is installed in the building A, and each user of the companies A1 and A2 may be able to use the A points to purchase the products of the store A. Similarly, in the example of FIG. 1, the economic zone 10B of B points is formed in which the B points issued by the owner B who owns the building B are used by the companies B1 and B2 who rent the building B. The company B1 and the company B2 that rent the building B can use the B points to pay the consideration in the sharing service in which the leased spaces can be used by each other. A store B may be installed in the building B, and each user of the companies B1 and B2 may be able to use the B points to purchase the products of the store B. Here, the economic zones of the points are independent of each other, and it is not necessary to use the B points in the economic zone 10A of the A points, for example.

From this point onward, "A" is added to the code of the item related to the owner A, and "B" is added to the code of the item related to the owner B to distinguish them. For example, in the following description, the building A, the store A, and the companies A1 and A2 are related to the owner A, and the building B, the store B, and the companies B1 and B2 are related to the owner B. In addition, the users of each company are shown in accordance with the code of the company. For example, user A1 and user A2 may refer to users related to company A1 and company A2, respectively, and user B1 and user B2 may refer to users related to company B1 and company B2, respectively.

That is, for example, the company A1 can lend "obj_20_A1", "obj_21_A1", and "obj_22_A1" to other companies such as the company A2 and the company A3. Further, in the case of the company A2, two usage target IDs ("obj_20_A2" and "obj_21_A2") are associated with the company ID "com_A2". That is, for example, the company A2 can lend "obj_20_A2" and "obj_21_A2" to other companies such as the company A1 and the company A3. Although the storage device 400 uses the sharing service, it is not necessary to store the usage target ID of a company that does not have a usage target to be used by another company.

Further, the storage device 400 may store information about the usage target of each company as a usage target information table. FIG. 5B shows an example of the usage target information table. In the example of FIG. 5B, the usage target information table TB21 may include information regarding the usage target ID (“obj_20_A1”, “obj_21_A1”, “obj_22_A1”) associated with the company ID “com_A1”. In addition, the usage target information table TB22 may include information regarding the usage target ID (“obj_20_A2”, “obj_21_A2”) associated with the company ID “com_A2”. As illustrated in FIG. 5B, the storage device 400 may store at least the type, the number of people accommodated, and the required first point in association with the usage target ID as the usage target information table. The "type" may be, for example, a type of object to be used such as a conference room, a drawing room, and a free space. Further, as will be described in detail later, the "necessary first point" may be the number of first points required to use the usage target. Here, the necessary first point may be set independently by each company or may be set by the owner. Moreover, the necessary first point may be changeable.

The tables shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B are examples, and the information stored in the storage device 400 may be more or less. For example, equipment information may be further associated and stored in the usage target information table. The equipment information may be, for example, information on equipment that can be used by the user in the usage target, and may be information indicating the presence or absence of equipment such as a projector, a whiteboard, a microphone, a speaker, and an auxiliary chair. Further, although only the usage target information tables of the companies A1 and A2 are shown in FIG. 5, a table may exist for each of a plurality of companies using the sharing service realized by the information processing system 600. That is, the storage device 400 may store the usage target information table for each of a plurality of companies.

The issuing unit 114 may issue the first point required for using the leased space in the sharing service to the company renting the building owned by the owner. That is, the issuing unit 114 may associate the number of first points with the identifier of each company and store it in the storage device 400. The issuing unit 114 may issue the first point according to the amount required for issuing the first point paid by the owner to the platform side that provides the sharing service. That is, the owner may be able to pay the issuance of the first point financially and distribute it to the company that rents the building he owns.

Here, the first point distributed from the owner to the company may be a predetermined number. The predetermined number to be distributed is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that the number of points for which the sharing service can be tried is distributed to the extent that the company can recognize the outline and advantages of the sharing service. For example, the average value of the number of first points required for one room may be obtained by referring to the usage target information table of FIG. 5B, and the first points corresponding to three times the average value may be distributed. That is, the owner can provide the company with an opportunity to use the sharing service by distributing a predetermined number of first points to the company in advance. Here, if the number of first points distributed by the owner when using the sharing service is insufficient, the company may be able to purchase additional sharing points by paying the owner a necessary amount. Here, the sharing points purchased by paying an amount are referred to as "third points" in order to distinguish them from the first points.

The conversion unit 115 may convert the first point into payment points (second points) that can be used for payment at the store at a predetermined conversion rate. As mentioned above, the first point can only be used for the use of the sharing service. Therefore, for companies that do not use the sharing service, there is no use for the distributed first point. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the conversion unit 115 may convert the first point (sharing point) into the second point (settlement point). A predetermined conversion rate may be applied in the conversion from the first point to the second point. The predetermined conversion rate may be set so that a predetermined fee equivalent is deducted at the time of conversion from the first point to the second point. That is, the fee equivalent may be returned as the profit of the owner. Payment points can be used to purchase products at stores and are easy for users to use. Therefore, the use of points issued by the owner can be promoted, and the point economic zone can be activated. That is, according to one embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to provide a sharing service having high utility value.

The reservation processing unit 116 may perform various processes in sharing. For example, the reservation processing unit 116 may accept a reservation to be used from the user. In addition, the reservation processing unit 116 may acquire information on the reservation status of the usage target of each company and update the information according to the received reservation. That is, the reservation processing unit 116 may store the information regarding the reservation status of the usage target in the storage device 400. The information regarding the reservation status is not particularly limited, but for example, in the storage device 400, the reservation ID for identifying each reservation, the reservation date, the company ID of the company that made the reservation, and the usage target A table associating the ID, the reservation time zone, the presence / absence of repetition, which is information indicating the setting of the periodic reservation, and the like may be stored.

The payment processing unit 117 may execute the processing related to the payment by the user at the second point in the store. That is, the payment processing unit 117 may execute the payment processing in response to the payment request, which is the information requesting the payment, transmitted from the communication terminal 200. For example, the settlement processing unit 117 may approve the settlement by the second point depending on whether or not the second point used for the settlement in a certain store is a point relating to the owner of the store.

As described above, the information processing system 600 according to the embodiment of the present invention may form a unique point economic zone based on the points issued by each owner. Here, the second point is converted from the first point issued by each owner at the expense of money, and the second point related to one owner was used in the store related to another owner. In that case, it is not desirable to benefit other owners. According to one embodiment of the present invention, it is determined which owner the second point is related to, and the use of the second point may be authenticated only in the economic zone with the points issued by the owner. As a result, it is possible to build a system that protects the interests of the owner while improving the convenience of the user.

For example, the input / output control unit 213 may accept input of a usage reservation for a conference room or the like from a user.

FIG. 6 shows an example of a reservation input screen displayed on the display screen of the communication terminal 200. The user may search for available usage targets based on preset search conditions. According to this, the time and effort of input can be saved, so that usability can be improved. FIG. 6A shows an example of the screen 41 that allows the user to select a search condition. In the example of the screen 41, the user can search for a conference room that can be reserved from the three search conditions of making a reservation from the calendar, making a reservation from the equipment, and searching for a conference room that can be used immediately. The communication terminal 200 may request the server 100 for information on the usage status of the usage target according to the user's selection. The reservation processing unit 116 of the server 100 may transmit information on the usage status of the usage target in response to a request from the communication terminal 200. FIG. 6B is an example of the screen 42 when the reservation by the calendar is selected on the screen 41. For example, the screen 42 may display a reserved time zone for each usage target. For example, in FIG. 6B, the time zones already reserved for the conference room 1 of the company A1 and the conference room 3 of the company A2 are shaded.

FIG. 6C shows an example of the screen 43 for setting a reservation in the communication terminal 200. In the example of the screen 43, the name of the conference room to be reserved, the time zone, the points used (sharing points), the participants, the invitation message, and the like are displayed. The user may be able to send a usage reservation to the server 100 by editing the screen 43 as necessary and selecting the "reserve" button.

The payment request generation unit 215 may transmit a payment request to the server 100 at the time of payment at the payment terminal 300 of the store. Although the details will be described later, the payment request may include the user's identification information and the payment amount.

The storage unit 270 may store various programs and various data required for the communication terminal 200 to operate. For example, the storage unit 270 may store an application program for using the sharing service. In addition, the storage unit 270 may store an application program for executing payment at the store. Further, the storage unit 270 may store the number of points (the number of payment points) associated with the user of the communication terminal 200.

<Flow of points>
Here, the flow of points in the information processing system 600 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. The storage device 400 may store the history of points of each user as a point history table. FIG. 7 is an example of the point history stored in the storage device 400. The storage device 400 may store the history of issuing, moving, converting, purchasing, consuming, etc. of points for the first point, the second point, and the third point for each company as a point history table. FIG. 7 exemplifies the case of the company A1 having the company ID “com_A1” and the company A2 having the company ID “com_A2” related to the owner A, respectively, as the point history tables TB31 and TB32.

The issuing unit 114 may issue the first point to the companies A1 and A2. In the example of FIG. 7, 5000 points are issued on 2021/4/1 respectively. The first point may be issued to each company every predetermined first period. The first period may be set at the discretion of the owner, and may be, for example, 60 days, 180 days, 1 year, etc., but is not limited thereto. Alternatively, the first period may be set according to the usage status of the sharing service of each company.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the use of the sharing service can be promoted by regularly distributing the first point to the company.

On April 13, 2021 Suppose you used it. In this case, the point processing unit 113 may reduce the first point of the company A2 by 1000 points. Then, the point processing unit 113 may increase the first point of the company A1 that rented the leased space by 1000 points. In this way, the sharing service may be realized by moving the first point between companies.

An expiration date (a predetermined second period) may be set for the first point. The expiration date is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, 180 days. That is, the issue date of the first point is stored in the storage device 400, and the point processing unit 113 may disable the first point 180 days after the issue date in the sharing service. By setting the expiration date of the first point in this way, the use of the first point can be promoted.

After that, on 2021 / 6/1, it is assumed that the conversion unit 115 converts the first point of the company A1 into the second point. The distribution of the first point within the company may be set for each company. For example, one department of the company may centrally manage the first points, and the total number of the first points associated with the company may change according to the use of the sharing service by the employees. In this case, the conversion of the first point to the second point may be performed in response to a request from each company. As a result, the first point distributed to the company can be converted into the second point without waste.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the conversion from the first point to the second point by the conversion unit 115 may be performed at a predetermined conversion rate. In the case of FIG. 7, the first point 2000 points of the company A1 is converted into the second point 1800 points. At this time, 200 points, which is the difference between the first point and the second point, may be returned as the profit of the owner.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, when the conversion unit 115 converts the second point from the first point, the remaining period of the expiration date of the first point is the period during which the second point can be used. May be set to. In the example of FIG. 7, regarding the second point converted to 2021 / 6/1, the conversion source first point is issued on 2021/4/1. For example, if the expiration date is 180 days, the expiration date of the first point of the conversion source is 2021/9/28. Therefore, the expiration date of the second point may be set to 2021/9/28 as well.

By setting the expiration date of the second point together with the first point in this way, it is possible to promote the use of the second point while promoting the conversion to the second point. In addition, since the profit is returned to the owner by the conversion to the second point, it is possible to form an attractive point system for the owner. Further, since the second point is used for purchasing the product in the store, the owner can obtain a profit from selling the product.

The distribution of the second point within the company may be set for each company. For example, the point processing unit 113 may evenly distribute the second point to the employees of the company according to the setting of the company. It should be noted that the distribution ratio to each user is not equal and may be inclined. When the second point is distributed to each user, the storage device 400 may store information about the second point owned by each user.

Further, the point processing unit 113 may notify the communication terminal 200 of each user that the second point has been distributed. FIG. 8 shows a screen example of the communication terminal 200 in which information regarding the second point is displayed. FIG. 8A is an example of the screen 44 showing that the second point has been distributed. Further, FIG. 8B is an example of a screen 45 displaying the balance and the expiration date of the second point held by the user.

Further, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the issuing unit 114 may issue a third point based on payment by one company. That is, when there is no balance of the first point, the third point, which is a pay-as-you-go system, may be purchased and used for the payment of the sharing service. For example, in FIG. 7, the company A2 uses 700 points of the first point on May 18, 2021 and purchases 300 points of the third point to be used for payment of the sharing service. In addition, company A1 purchased the third point 1500 points on 2021 / 6/15 and used it to pay for the sharing service. In this way, the third point may be a pay-as-you-go point for purchasing only the required amount. As a result, the use of the sharing service is not stopped. Furthermore, since the first point is preferentially used for payment of the sharing service, the first point distributed by the owner is not wasted.

The user's communication terminal 200 may be notified that the leased space cannot be used due to the lack of sharing points. FIG. 9A is an example of the screen 46 showing that it has been notified that the sharing points are insufficient. The screen 46 may be displayed, for example, when the user selects "reserve" on the screen 43 of FIG. 6B. That is, when the usage reservation is transmitted from the communication terminal 200, the reservation processing unit 116 refers to the user information table TB10, determines the company ID associated with the user ID, and displays the point history table of the company ID. With reference, it may be determined whether or not there is a balance of the first point required for the reservation. When there is no balance, the communication terminal 200 may display a notification prompting the purchase of points together with the fact that the points are insufficient, as shown on the screen 46. As a result, it is possible to encourage the continuation of use of the sharing service.

FIG. 9B is an example of a screen 47 for applying for the purchase of points, which is displayed on the communication terminal 200 when the user selects to purchase the points on the screen 46. When the purchase is applied for on the screen 47 and the approval is obtained from the management department of the company to which the user belongs, for example, the issuing unit 114 may issue the third point in association with the company to which the user belongs. The payment for the third point may be paid each time a reservation is made, or may be postpaid in a lump sum for a predetermined period. Alternatively, it may be deducted from the amount paid in advance from the company to the owner.

Returning to the description of FIG. In one embodiment of the present invention, when the consideration for the sharing service is paid at the third point, the third point may be stored as the first point on the lending side. For example, on 2021 / 6/15, it is assumed that the company A1 uses the conference room of the company A2 and pays 1500 points of the third point as consideration. In this case, the company A2 may be associated with the first point for 1500 points.

Then, after a predetermined first period, on 2021/10/1, the owner may issue 5000 new first points to each company.

<Payment processing>
Next, the payment process in the information processing system 600 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the sequence diagram of FIG. The figure is an example, and the present invention is not limited thereto. In the following, a user-presented (store scan method) payment at the payment terminal 300A of the store A will be described as an example. However, store presentation type (user scan method) payment may be used.

The storage device 400 may store the user information table TB10, the store information table TB11, the company information table TB20, the usage target information tables TB21, TB22, the point history table, and the like. The server 100 may appropriately refer to these information stored in the storage device 400 and execute the following processing.

First, although not shown in FIG. 10, a payment application may be installed on the communication terminal 200. At the time of installation, user information necessary for using the payment service according to the embodiment of the present invention may be transmitted to the server 100. The user information may be information for identifying which point economic zone the user belongs to, that is, which owner the user information is related to. Therefore, the user information including the user ID when using the sharing service may be used as the user information for using the payment service. The user information related to the payment service may also include terminal identification information for identifying the user's communication terminal. The terminal identification information may be, for example, an individual identification number of a communication terminal, a telephone number, or the like. The server 100 may store the above-mentioned user information (step P11).

At the time of payment, the user inputs the information of the product to be purchased into the payment terminal 300A installed in the store. The input of product information may be performed, for example, by having a scanner provided in the payment terminal 300A read the barcode of the product. The payment terminal 300A may acquire information on the product purchased by the user according to the operation of the user (step P12). The input of the product information may be any method as long as the payment terminal 300A can acquire the product information, and is not limited to the above example. For example, the input of product information may be performed by image recognition or manual input.

When paying for goods, the user may be able to select a payment method between payment by the second point and payment by other general electronic money. FIG. 11 is an example of a screen displayed on the communication terminal 200 for payment. FIG. 11A is an example of a screen 46 for selecting a payment method. Although not shown in the sequence diagram of FIG. 10, the payment request generation unit 215 may transmit a payment code (payment information) generation request to the server 100 according to the user's selection on the screen 46. The generation request may include user identification information. The payment processing unit 117 of the server 100 may generate a payment code and transmit it to the communication terminal 200. The display control unit 212 of the communication terminal 200 may display the payment code on the display unit 230.

The user may transmit the payment code to the payment terminal 300A by having the payment terminal 300A read the payment code displayed on the communication terminal 200 (step P13). Here, it is assumed that the second point is selected as the payment method and the information on the payment method is also transmitted to the payment terminal 300A. The information regarding the payment method may be transmitted at the same time when the server 100 is requested to generate the payment code.

The payment terminal 300A may transmit the acquired payment code, payment terminal information (payment terminal ID), payment fee, and information on the payment method to the server 100 (step P15). The payment processing unit 117 of the server 100 may determine whether or not the user of the communication terminal 200 can make a payment at the store A based on the information received from the payment terminal 300A (step P16). As mentioned above, payment by the second point at store A may only be possible at the second point associated with owner A. Therefore, the payment processing unit 117 may specify the owner ID associated with the payment terminal ID by referring to the store information table TB11 of FIG. 4 based on the payment terminal ID. Further, the payment processing unit 117 refers to the user information table TB10 of FIG. 3 based on the user identification information (user ID) included in the payment code, and the company ID associated with the user ID is the store A. It may be determined whether it is associated with the owner of the installed building. That is, the payment processing unit 117 may determine whether or not payment can be made at the store A based on whether or not the user of the communication terminal 200 is associated with the owner of the building A.

When the user of the communication terminal 200 is not associated with the owner of the building A and it is determined that the payment at the store A is not possible (NO in step P16), the server 100 notifies that the payment is not possible. May be transmitted to the communication terminal 200 and / or the payment terminal 300A (step P17). On the payment terminal 300A and the communication terminal 200 that have received the notification, it may be displayed that payment is not possible (steps P18 and P19). FIG. 11B shows an example of a screen on the communication terminal 200 indicating that payment is not possible. As shown on the screen 47, the user may be notified that the points cannot be used. As a result, the mechanism of points can be made known to users, and services with high usability can be provided.

When the user of the communication terminal 200 is associated with the owner of the building A and it is determined that the payment can be made at the store A (YES in step P16), the payment processing unit 117 is the first required for the user to make a payment. It may be determined whether or not it has 2 points (step P20). When the second point held by the user is insufficient for the second point required for payment (NO in step P20), the server 100 notifies the communication terminal 200 and the payment terminal 300A that the payment is not possible. It may be transmitted (step P21). The payment terminal 300A and the communication terminal 200 that have received the notification may each display that payment is not possible (steps P22 and P23). FIG. 11C shows an example of a screen on the communication terminal 200 indicating that payment is not possible due to insufficient balance of the second point. As shown in screen 48, the user may be notified that the balance of points is insufficient. In this case, the user may be able to select another payment method, as in the example of screen 48. If the balance of points is insufficient, all the second points held may be used and the shortage may be paid by another method such as electronic money.

If it is determined that the user has a balance of points (YES in step P20), the payment processing unit 117 may execute the user's payment. That is, the payment processing unit 117 may update the number of second points related to the user in the storage device 400 (step P24). When the payment is completed, the server 100 may send a notification indicating that the payment is completed to the communication terminal 200 and the payment terminal 300A (step P25). The payment terminal 300A and the communication terminal 200 that have received the notification may each display that the payment has been completed (steps P26 and P27).

As described above, according to one embodiment of the present invention, only the points issued by the owner can be used for payment of the owner's store. Therefore, it is possible to form a highly reliable point system without damaging the interests of the owner.

<Server control method>
Next, the control method of the server 100 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, the server 100 may store information about the owner of the building having the store in association with information about a plurality of companies that rent the building from the owner (step S11). As a result, the storage device 400 stores the user information table, the store information table, the company information table, the usage target information table, and the like. Then, the issuing unit 114 issues the first point required for the use of the rented space to the plurality of companies in the sharing that makes the rented space in the building of each company available to each other among the plurality of companies. It may be (step S12). As a result, the storage device 400 can store the point history table. In addition, the conversion unit 115 may convert the first points issued to the company into the second points that can be used for payment at the store at a predetermined conversion rate (step S13). The payment processing unit 117 may approve the payment by the second point in the store (step S14).

As described above, according to the information processing system according to the embodiment of the present invention, the points issued by the owner can be used for the sharing service between companies. Furthermore, the points issued by the owner are converted into points that can be used for purchasing the product. Therefore, the information processing system according to the embodiment can promote the movement and purchase of points in the building owned by the owner, and can realize a sharing service with high usability.

The reservation processing unit 116 may execute the point subtraction process when a predetermined condition is satisfied for the usage reservation by one company and the usage reservation is confirmed. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the number of points is updated (subtracted and increased) when the reservation is set. However, the update of the number of points does not necessarily have to be executed at the time of booking. That is, processes such as point subtraction and point increase may be executed on different days. For example, on the day when the user A1 makes a reservation for the usage target of the company A2, points are subtracted from the total number of points associated with the company A1, and on the day when the user A1 uses the usage target of the company A2 according to the reservation, the company A2 Points may be added to the total number of points associated with. In this way, the movement of points may be arbitrarily executed to the extent that the sharing service is feasible. In addition, the number of points may be updated when the use by another company is confirmed. The time when the use is confirmed may be, for example, the time when a user of another company starts (check-in) the use of the target. Specifically, for example, it may be the time when the information (check-in information) indicating that the user of another company starts using the usage target is transmitted to the server 100.

As a result, points can be moved appropriately, and a highly reliable sharing service can be realized.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the drawings and examples, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can easily make various modifications and modifications based on the present disclosure. Therefore, it should be noted that these modifications and modifications are included in the scope of the present invention. For example, the functions included in each component, each step, etc. can be rearranged so as not to be logically inconsistent, and a plurality of components, steps, etc. can be combined or divided into one. Is. In addition, the configurations shown in the above embodiments may be combined as appropriate. For example, each component described as being included in the server 100 may be distributed and realized by a plurality of servers.

For example, in the above description, a conference room, an office, etc. in an office are exemplified as usage targets. However, the target of use may be an entertainment room, a nap room, a shower room, a beauty salon, a nail salon, a massage or manipulative treatment corner provided in the office.

Further, in the above description, the sharing service has been described as an example in which a company rents a space rented from a building owner to another company renting the building. However, any company associated with one owner may be rented to a company that rents another building owned by one owner. Further, even in a plurality of buildings having different owners, space or the like may be shared among companies renting other buildings according to the agreement between the owners.
