Description

The present invention relates to an information processing device, a user terminal, an information processing method, and a program capable of controlling a user's check-in process to a service facility such as a restaurant and a process of giving privilege information according to the check-in process.

Conventionally, when a user visits a service facility such as a restaurant, as a privilege to the user, an electronic stamp is given via a user terminal instead of the conventional stamping on a stamp card using a paper medium. It has been.

For example, in Patent Document 1 below, it is displayed on a user's mobile terminal by a check-in privilege granting means having a short-range wireless communication function and having a size that can be held by the user or a service provider on the service facility side. By attaching an electronic stamp to the electronic stamp card, the electronic stamp is displayed on the electronic stamp card, so that the user can easily recognize that the electronic stamp has been attached. It is disclosed.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2016-106286

However, in the above technology, when a user carrying a mobile terminal having the above electronic stamp card visits a store in a group including another user, the other user is not given an electronic stamp, so that the other user can use the other user. It is necessary to separately prepare an electronic stamp card for the own mobile terminal, which is not only inconvenient for other users, but also has a problem that the collection of user information including the above group is not promoted for the service facility side.

In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to easily share the benefits given to the users who visit the service facility to other users who have visited together, and to share the visit information of more users for each group. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an information processing device, a user terminal, an information processing method, and a program that can be acquired by the service facility side.

In order to achieve the above object, the information processing device according to one embodiment of the present invention has a communication means and a control means. The communication means can communicate with the first user terminal and the second user terminal. The control means includes a check including a facility ID for identifying the service facility and a first terminal ID for identifying the first user terminal from the first user terminal that has received a predetermined check-in operation to the service facility from the user. When the in information is received, the first terminal ID is stored in association with the predetermined privilege information. Further, the control means transmits the check-in identification information that can be read only for a predetermined first time from the time when the check-in information is received to the first user terminal. Further, when the control means receives the check-in shared information including the second terminal ID that identifies the second user terminal and the first terminal ID from the second user terminal that has read the check-in identification information. , The second terminal ID is stored in association with the privilege information, and the first terminal ID and the second terminal ID are stored in association with one group ID.

As a result, the information processing device not only grants the corresponding benefits when the user terminal checks in to the service facility, but also sends the check-in identification information to be read by another user terminal, so that the visiting user It is possible to easily share the privilege given to the user with other users who have visited together, and to have the store side acquire the visit information of more users for each group. Here, the first hour is, for example, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc., but is not limited thereto. The check-in operation may be an operation for contacting or communicating with a check-in device installed in the facility, or an operation in which the user terminal reads the check-in code installed in the facility. May be good. In this case, the check-in device has a predetermined stamp pattern that differs for each service facility, and is capable of causing the user terminal to recognize the stamp pattern by touching the touch panel of the user terminal. The check-in identification information may be, for example, an image of an electronic stamp corresponding to the stamp pattern, but is not limited to this.

The control means receives the check-in information including the facility ID and the second terminal ID from the second user terminal, and does not receive the check-in shared information from the second user terminal. The second terminal ID may be stored in association with the privilege information.

As a result, when the user of the second user terminal himself / herself checks in by the check-in operation, the information processing device grants a privilege on the condition that the check-in information is not shared by the user of the first user terminal. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the privilege from being given to one user in duplicate.

Further, when the control means further receives the check-in shared information from the second user terminal within a second time longer than the first time after receiving the check-in information from the second user terminal. The first terminal ID and the second terminal ID may be associated with the group ID and stored without storing the second terminal ID in association with the privilege information.

As a result, when the information processing device receives the check-in shared information via the first user terminal from the second user terminal after the second user terminal checks in by itself, the information processing device receives the privilege duplicated in the second user terminal. Although the grant is not performed, the user of the first user terminal and the user of the second user terminal can be associated as users of the same group. Here, the second time may correspond to the average staying time of the user in the service facility, and is, for example, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, and the like, but is not limited thereto.

A user terminal according to another embodiment of the present invention has a communication means capable of communicating with a server, a display means, and a control means. When the control means receives a predetermined check-in operation to the service facility from the user, the control means transmits check-in information including the facility ID that identifies the service facility and the terminal ID that identifies the user terminal to the server. .. Further, the control means receives the check-in identification information that can be read for a predetermined time from the reception of the check-in information by the server from the server, and displays the check-in identification information on the display means. The server is based on the check-in information received from the user terminal and the check-in shared information received from the other user terminal that has read the check-in identification information, and each of the user terminal and the other user terminal. The terminal ID is stored in association with the predetermined privilege information and one group ID.

As a result, the user terminal can not only give the user a privilege corresponding to the check-in to the service facility but also receive the check-in identification information, so that the user can read it by another user terminal. As a result, the privilege given to the visiting user can be easily shared with other users who visited together, and the visit information of more users can be acquired by the store side for each group.

Further, an application (hereinafter referred to as a check-in application) that operates in cooperation with the check-in privilege granting process by the restaurant information providing server 100 is installed in the user terminal 200, and the check-in is performed in the storage unit 28. The programs and data required to execute the application are stored.

[Database configuration of restaurant information providing server]
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a configuration of a database included in the restaurant information providing server 100.

As shown in the figure, the restaurant information providing server 100 has a restaurant information database 41, a user information database 42, a privilege information database 43, and an electronic stamp information database 44 in the storage unit 18.

The restaurant information database 41 includes the restaurant name and location information of the restaurant, the ID (facility ID) for identifying the restaurant, the category information of the business type / service of the restaurant, and the restaurant for each restaurant. Information showing the characteristics of the service facility such as the PR statement of the service facility, event information performed by the restaurant, area information where the restaurant is located, restaurant address (location information), telephone number , Image data related to restaurants (introducing restaurants), menu information related to menus provided by restaurants, business hours, website URL, and other information are stored.

The above menu information is information corresponding to the menu posted on the site of each restaurant on the above portal site, and the menu names of a plurality of menus that can be provided by each restaurant are stored for each restaurant. .. The menu information may be stored for each menu category such as appetizer / main, lunch / dinner / course, and the like. When the image data corresponds to the menu, the image data is stored in association with the menu information.

The above area information is, for example, a prefecture unit, but the information may be stored in a narrower range unit such as a city, ward, town, or village. The above category information may include, for example, a main category such as Japanese food, Chinese food, Italian food, French food, and yakiniku, as well as more detailed subcategories such as yakitori / tempura in Japanese food and pasta / pizza in Italian food.

The user information database 42 stores information about a user (member) of a restaurant information service via the portal site provided by the restaurant information providing server 100, which owns the user terminal 200. Specifically, the user information database 42 stores information such as a user ID, password, name, e-mail address, telephone number, address, age (group), gender, and birthday for each user.

The privilege information database 43 stores information on benefits (for example, coupons, etc.) given to users who visit and check in at each restaurant for each restaurant. Specifically, the privilege information database 43 stores information such as what kind of privilege is given when the same user checks in at which restaurant and how many times, regarding the privilege to be given to the user in the future. Information about the privilege already given to the user is stored in association with the user ID. Further, each privilege is given a privilege ID that identifies each privilege, and at least the privilege ID is associated with the user ID. The privilege ID may include a time stamp indicating the date and time when the privilege was granted to the user (the date and time when the user checked in by the check-in device 300, or the date and time when the check-in information was shared with other users). good.

The electronic stamp information database 44 stores information on the stamp pattern for the electronic stamp device set for each restaurant and the corresponding electronic stamp image S in association with the store ID.

Each of these databases is used by being referred to each other as necessary in the check-in privilege granting process by the restaurant information providing server 100 described later.

[Operation of restaurant information providing server]
Next, the operation of the restaurant information providing server 100 configured as described above will be described. The operation is executed by the cooperation between the hardware such as the CPU 11 and the communication unit 19 of the restaurant information providing server 100 and the software stored in the storage unit 18. In the following description, for convenience, the CPU 11 is the main operating body.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of the check-in privilege granting process at the restaurant by the restaurant information providing server 100.

As shown in the figure, the CPU 11 of the restaurant information providing server 100 first determines whether or not the check-in information has been received from the user terminal 200 (first user terminal) that has checked in to the restaurant (step 51). ).

The check-in information includes a store ID that identifies the restaurant and a first terminal ID that identifies the first user terminal that has checked in. For check-in in the present embodiment, a user who visits a restaurant activates the check-in application on the user terminal 200, picks up the check-in device 300 (electronic stamp device) installed in the restaurant, and then picks it up. This is executed by bringing (stamping) the bottom surface into contact with (stamping) the display unit 26 (electronic stamp stamping area displayed by the check-in application).

Upon contact with the electronic stamp device, the check-in application of the user terminal 200 recognizes the stamp pattern of the electronic stamp device, recognizes the store ID from the stamp pattern, and uses it together with the first terminal ID of the user terminal 200. It is transmitted to the restaurant information providing server 100 as check-in information. However, instead of the check-in application recognizing the store ID from the stamp pattern, the check-in application sends the stamp pattern information as it is to the restaurant information providing server 100, and the restaurant information providing server 100 receives it from the stamp pattern. The corresponding store ID may be recognized.

When it is determined that the check-in information has been received from the user terminal 200 (first user terminal) (Yes), the CPU 11 identifies the store ID and the first terminal ID from the check-in information (step 52).

Subsequently, the CPU 11 stores the first terminal ID in the privilege information database 43 in association with the privilege information corresponding to the check-in (step 53). The privilege information may be an electronic coupon, or may be individual check-in number identification information that becomes an electronic coupon when a predetermined number is collected. A privilege ID including the time stamp information as described above is given to the privilege information.

Subsequently, the CPU 11 transmits a check-in identification image (electronic stamp image S) that can be read only for a time T1 from the time when the check-in information is received to the user terminal (first user terminal) (step 54). The time T1 is, for example, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc., but is not limited thereto.

The user of the user terminal 200 (first user terminal) who has received the electronic stamp image S visits the electronic stamp image S together with the electronic stamp image S while the electronic stamp image S is displayed on the display unit 26. Check-in information can be shared with other users by reading it with a reader (camera) of the user terminal 200 (second user terminal) of the user.

Specifically, when the other user terminal 200 (second user terminal) reads the electronic stamp image S, the second user terminal transmits the check-in shared information to the restaurant information providing server 100. The check-in shared information includes a second terminal ID that identifies the second user terminal and the first terminal ID.

Subsequently, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the check-in shared information has been received from the second user terminal (step 55).

When it is determined that the check-in shared information has been received from the second user terminal (Yes), the CPU 11 uses the check-in shared information to identify the second user terminal as the second terminal ID and the sharing source first user terminal. The first terminal ID for identifying is specified (step 56).

Subsequently, the CPU 11 associates the second terminal ID with the privilege information (privilege ID) and stores it in the privilege information database 43 (step 57).

Then, the CPU 11 stores the first terminal ID and the second terminal ID as user terminals belonging to the same group in the user information database 42 or the privilege information database 43 in association with the same group ID (step 58). ..

As a result, the restaurant information providing server 100 has users who belong to the same group as the user of the first user terminal and the user of the second user terminal, that is, who often act together or have similar tastes. It can be managed as a group of users. Therefore, the restaurant information providing server 100 simultaneously transmits information such as restaurant information and coupons specialized for a specific type (genre, service time, etc.) to the user terminals 200 of users belonging to the same group, for example. By doing so, it is possible to promote group visits.

Further, in the present embodiment, it is conceivable that not only the user of the first user terminal but also the user of the second user terminal who came to the store together performs the check-in operation by the check-in device 300.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the flow of the check-in privilege granting process by the restaurant information providing server 100 when the check-in information is received from the user of the second user terminal.

As shown in the figure, the CPU 11 of the restaurant information providing server 100 first determines whether or not the check-in information has been received from the second user terminal 200 (step 61). The check-in information includes a store ID that identifies a restaurant and a second terminal ID that identifies a second user terminal that has checked in.

When it is determined that the check-in information has been received from the second user terminal 200 (Yes), the CPU 11 determines whether or not the privilege information is associated with the second terminal ID between the time of reception and the time T2 before. (Step 62). That is, the CPU 11 receives the check-in shared information from the second user terminal 200 via the check-in identification image based on the check-in of the first user terminal 200 before the time T2. It is determined whether or not the privilege information given to the user of the one user terminal 200 has already been given to the user of the second user terminal 200.

Here, the time T2 is a time longer than the above time T1 and may correspond to the average staying time of the user at the restaurant, for example, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, etc., but is limited to these. No. Further, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the privilege information is associated before the time T2, based on, for example, a time stamp included in the privilege ID of the associated privilege information.

Here, the time T2 is used as the determination condition because the user of the second user terminal performs multiple check-in operations at the time of one visit, or checks in together with the check-in operation. This is to prevent a plurality of benefits from being duplicated and given to the user of the second user terminal for one visit by performing a sharing operation. That is, if the privilege information is associated with the second terminal ID from the time when the check-in information is received to before the time T2 (Yes in step 62), the user of the second user terminal visits the restaurant once. It is considered that a plurality of check-in operations or both a check-in operation and a check-in sharing operation have been performed during the stay of the CPU 11, and the CPU 11 does not perform any further privilege granting process to the user of the second user terminal. End the process.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the privilege information is not associated with the second terminal ID by the time T2 (No in step 62), the check-in operation by the user of the second user terminal is the first check-in operation after visiting the store. Since it is assumed that the check-in operation is performed, the CPU 11 stores the second terminal ID and the privilege information in the privilege information database 43 in association with each other (step 63).

Subsequently, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the check-in shared information has been received from the second user terminal 200 within the time T2 from the time when the check-in information is received (step 64).

When it is determined that the check-in shared information has been received from the second user terminal 200 within the time T2 (Yes), the CPU 11 uses the check-in shared information of the sharing source user terminal in the same manner as in step 56 of FIG. An ID (first terminal ID in this example) is specified, and the first terminal ID and the second terminal ID are associated with the same group ID and stored in the user information database 42 or the privilege information database 43 (step). 65).

However, here, since the privilege information is already associated with the second terminal ID in step 63, the CPU 11 does not execute the process of associating the second terminal ID with the privilege information again.

By the above processing, when the restaurant information providing server 100 receives the check-in shared information via the first user terminal 200 from the second user terminal 20 after the second user terminal 200 checks in by itself, the restaurant information providing server 100 receives the check-in shared information from the second user terminal 20. Although the second user terminal 200 is not given the duplicate privilege, the user of the first user terminal 200 and the user of the second user terminal 200 can be associated as users of the same group.

[summary]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, at the time of check-in of the user terminal 200 to the restaurant, not only the privilege corresponding to the check-in is given, but also the check-in identification image is transmitted to the other user terminal 200. By having the user read the privilege, the privilege given to the visiting user can be easily shared with other users who visited together, and the visit information of more users can be acquired by the store side for each group.

Further, since the sharing of check-in information is completed only by having another user terminal read the check-in identification image, the sharing of check-in information can be realized without the need for the restaurant side to prepare new equipment.

[Modification example]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

In the above-described embodiment, the restaurant information providing server 100 checks in from each user terminal 200 by the user of the first user terminal 200 or the second user terminal 200 performing a check-in operation while staying at the restaurant. If the check-in information is received again from any user terminal 200 after the lapse of the time T1 after receiving the information, a new check-in identification image valid for the time T1 is transmitted to each user terminal 200 from that time. You may. Alternatively, the restaurant information providing server 100 may transmit an update signal for updating the check-in identification image so as to extend the expiration date of the check-in identification image that has already been transmitted by the time T1. As a result, even after the time T1 has elapsed from the check-in, the user performs the check-in operation again, so that the user is given an opportunity to share the check-in information with other users. However, in this case, since the privilege information has already been given to each user, the restaurant information providing server 100 does not associate the terminal ID of each user terminal 200 with the privilege information.

In the above-described embodiment, the electronic stamping device that contacts the user terminal 200 is mentioned as the check-in device, but the check-in device is not limited to the electronic stamping device. For example, the check-in device may be a device capable of transmitting check-in identification information to the user terminal 200 by short-range wireless communication. Further, regardless of the check-in device, for example, when the user terminal 200 reads the two-dimensional code on the check-in sticker installed in each restaurant, the user terminal 200 outputs the check-in information to the restaurant information providing server 100. You may send to.

In the above-described embodiment, when the restaurant information providing server 100 receives the check-in information from the first user terminal 200, the check-in identification image is used as the check-in identification information transmitted for reading by the second user terminal 200. Was mentioned. However, the check-in identification information is not limited to the image, and may be, for example, characters or symbols.

In the above-described embodiment, a restaurant is mentioned as an example of the service facility, but the service facility is not limited to the restaurant, for example, accommodation facilities such as hotels and inns, various sports facilities such as tennis and golf, and karaoke and bowling. The present invention is similarly applicable to various service facilities such as entertainment facilities such as.

Among the inventions described in the claims of the present application, the invention described as "information processing method" is such that at least one device such as a computer automatically performs each step by information processing by software.
