FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a system configuration of a conference room reservation system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The conference room reservation system is composed of a conference room reservation management server 100 which is an information processing device for managing reservation information of each conference room, a conference room reservation management server 100, and an operation terminal 200 which can be connected via a network 50. ..

The operation terminal 200 has a display device controlled by the conference room reservation management server 100 to display information, and an input device for the operator to input information to the conference room reservation management server. The operation terminal 200 may be a dedicated terminal, such as a personal computer or smartphone equipped with a display device and an input device, which is configured to function as a terminal of the conference room reservation management server 100 in which a specific program is implemented. But it's okay.

FIG. 2 shows the hardware configuration of the conference room reservation management server 100. The conference room reservation management server 100 includes a CPU 1, a memory 2, a storage device 3 such as a hard disk drive (HDD), and a communication interface (IF) 4 that transmits and receives data to and from an external device via a network. These components are connected to each other via the control bus 5.

The CPU 1 executes a predetermined process based on a control program stored in the memory 2 or the storage device 3 (or provided from a storage medium (not shown) such as a CD-ROM), and is a conference room reservation management server. Controls the operation of 100.

FIG. 3 shows the functional configuration of the conference room reservation management server 100. The conference room reservation management server 100 includes a conference room information storage unit 11, a conference room designation reception unit 12, a conference room position acquisition unit 13, a user position acquisition unit 14, a time calculation unit 15, and a control. It has a part 16.

The conference room information storage unit 11 stores the location information and reservation information of each conference room. Examples of the location information of the conference room include information on the location of the entrance and exit of the conference room in terms of coordinates and altitude information, information on the location of the conference room (for example, the name of the location or building, etc., or "○○". Names uniquely named by companies, etc. to distinguish a specific area from other areas, such as "business establishment") can be mentioned. Here, the reservation information is information including the reservation time zone (start time and end time) and the identification information of the reservation user of the conference room in the time zone. The "reserved user" means an individual who is scheduled to come to the conference room as a participant of an event such as a conference held (planned) in the reserved conference room.

The conference room designation reception unit 12 receives the designation of the conference room via the operation terminal 200. If there is only one conference room, or if the operation terminal 200 is installed in each conference room, the conference room is automatically designated (in the latter case, the operation terminal being operated). The conference room in which 200 is installed may be designated). Hereinafter, the conference room designated by the conference room designation reception unit 12 is referred to as a "designated conference room".

The conference room position acquisition unit 13 acquires the position information of the designated conference room from the conference room information storage unit 11.

The user position acquisition unit 14 determines the current reservation time zone of the designated conference room (the reservation time zone of the conference room reservation whose start time is before the current time and whose end time is later than the current time). ) Next reservation time zone (that is, the reservation time zone of the reservation that is the earliest in the conference room reservation whose start time is later than the current time) is acquired. The reservation user in the next reservation time zone can be specified by referring to the reservation information stored in the conference room information storage unit 14.

In addition, when the above-mentioned next reservation time zone is continuous with the current reservation time zone depending on the reservation status of the conference room (that is, the end time of the current reservation time zone and the start time of the next reservation time zone are almost the same. It may be the same time) or it may not be continuous (that is, there may be a certain time interval between the end time of the current reserved time zone and the start time of the next reserved time zone). In addition, when the term "reserved user" is used below, it means a reserved user in the next reserved time zone unless otherwise specified.

As the location information of the reserved user, it is possible to use the location information acquired by the face recognition system, the mobile information terminal held by each individual, or the like, or the information obtained by converting based on these. Also, as with the above-mentioned location information of the conference room, in addition to the coordinate and altitude information, the name of the place or building, or a specific area such as "○○ business establishment" is distinguished from other areas. It may be a name uniquely named by a company or the like.

The time calculation unit 15 makes a reservation using the designated conference room position information (that is, the position information acquired by the conference room position acquisition unit 13) and the position information acquired by the user position acquisition unit 14. A predicted value of the time when a person arrives at the conference room (hereinafter, the predicted time is also referred to as a "predicted arrival time") is calculated.

The time calculation unit 15 has, for example, a predicted time output unit that outputs a predicted value of the time required for the reserved user to move from the current position to the designated conference room (hereinafter, also referred to as “predicted travel time”). Then, the predicted arrival time is calculated by adding the predicted travel time output by the predicted time output unit to the current time. Therefore, the value obtained by subtracting the current time from the predicted arrival time is equal to the predicted travel time.

In the predicted time output unit, the predicted moving time may be obtained by using the moving speed of the reserved user, or the predicted moving time may be obtained without using the moving speed of the reserved user.

In the former case, the predicted time output unit uses, for example, the position information of the designated meeting room and the position information acquired by the user position acquisition unit 14, from the position of the reserved user to the position of the meeting room. It has a distance calculation unit that calculates the distance and a speed acquisition unit that acquires the movement speed of the reserved user, and the distance value calculated by the distance calculation unit is the value of the movement speed acquired by the speed acquisition unit. The time value obtained by dividing by is output as the predicted travel time. The "position of the conference room" means, for example, the position of the entrance / exit of the conference room.

In this aspect, when it is assumed that the reserved user mainly moves to the conference room on foot (for example, the position of the reserved user and the position of the conference room are in the same building, or different buildings. Even if it is a building that exists within walking distance, etc.), it is preferable to apply it.

As a method of calculating the distance, the linear distance can be directly calculated if the coordinates of both the position of the reserved user and the position of the conference room are known. In addition to the information on the position of the reserved user and the information on the position of the conference room, the information on the floor layout of each floor of the building can be used to calculate the travel distance.

Further, regarding the moving speed of the reserved user, for example, a moving speed storage unit for storing a predetermined moving speed value (for example, speed to m per second) is provided, and the moving speed is stored from the moving speed storage unit. The acquisition unit may acquire the moving speed, or the moving speed acquired by a moving speed sensor or the like may be used (for example, a portable device having a moving speed sensor and capable of measuring the moving speed of the own device). , If the reserved user holds it, a method of acquiring the moving speed of the device as the moving speed of the reserved user can be considered). In addition, a method of combining these can be considered (for example, when the movement speed acquired by the movement speed sensor is substantially zero (interpreted as not moving due to being seated or the like), a predetermined movement is possible. Use the velocity value, etc.).

Further, for the predicted time output unit in this case, in addition to simply dividing the distance by the moving speed as described above, for example, for the time for moving the floor using the stairs, the elevator, etc., the required time is predetermined. The travel time may be calculated in consideration of the movement by stairs, elevators, etc.

In the latter case, the predicted travel time output unit outputs a predetermined travel time value as the predicted travel time using the designated conference room position information and the position information acquired by the user position acquisition unit 14. do.

This aspect should be applied when it is assumed that the vehicle will be moved by means of transportation such as a car or a train (for example, when it is necessary to move between bases that are separated by an hour or more on foot). Is preferable.

For example, the predicted time output unit outputs a predetermined travel time value when information of two locations is input, and a designated conference room position information and user position acquisition unit 14. By having an input unit for inputting the position information acquired by the above to the travel time output unit, it is possible to output the time output from the travel time output unit as the predicted travel time.

Regarding the processing in the travel time output unit, the case where four distant bases of "Business place A" to "Business place D" exist in the positional relationship as shown in FIG. 4 will be explained more concretely. do. In FIG. 4, the travel time between each preset base is shown by a number, and if the departure base (position of the reserved user) and the arrival base (position of the conference room) are known, the movement as a predicted value is shown. The time will be fixed. For example, when the location of the conference room is "business establishment A" and the position of the reserved user is "business establishment D", the travel time output unit outputs "1 hour", and the existence of the conference room. When the place is "business place B" and the position of the reserved user is "business place C", the travel time output unit outputs "1.5 hours". An example of expressing FIG. 4 in a simpler table with a focus on the travel time is shown in FIG.

The control unit 16 controls the display device so as to display at least one of the predicted arrival time calculated by the time calculation unit 15 and the predicted travel time output by the predicted time output unit. When the number of reserved users is multiple, at least one of the predicted arrival time and the predicted travel time for the person with the shortest predicted travel time (that is, the person whose predicted arrival time is the earliest) is displayed. It may be controlled to do so.

In the present embodiment, the reservation information may include the information of the individual who made the reservation for the conference room (hereinafter referred to as "reservation person").

In that case, among the conference rooms that are not reserved in the next reserved time zone of the designated conference room, the selection department that selects the conference room that exists closest to the designated conference room, and
When the distance between the position of the conference room selected by the selection department and the position of the designated conference room is less than or equal to the predetermined value, the reservation person in the next reservation time zone of the designated conference room is notified. It may be provided with a notification unit for notifying a change between the reserved conference room (that is, the designated conference room) and the conference room selected by the selection unit.

Further, when the reservation user includes the reservation person, the control unit 16 may control the display device so that only the predicted arrival time of the reservation person is displayed. In that case, after further providing a seat information storage unit that stores the position information of the individual seat that can be a reservation user in advance, the position of the seat of the reservation person in the next reservation time zone and When the distance to the reserved conference room position is shorter than the predetermined distance, the predicted arrival time and the predicted arrival time of the person who has the earliest predicted arrival time among the reserved users other than the reservation person. It may be controlled to display at least one of the predicted travel times.

Further, in the present embodiment, the predicted arrival time of all the reserved users (or the predicted arrival time of the reserved person when the reserved user includes the reserved person) is the end of the next conference room reservation. If it is later than the time, a deletion unit may be provided to delete the next conference room reservation from the reservation information stored in the conference room information storage unit 11.

Hereinafter, an example of the processing flow in the conference room reservation system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

The conference room is designated by the operation by the operator (step S1). If there is only one conference room, or if the operation terminal 200 is installed in each conference room, the conference room conference room is automatically designated (in the latter case, the operation is in progress). The conference room in which the operation terminal 200 is installed may be designated). Hereinafter, the conference room designated in step S1 is also referred to as a “target conference room”.

Based on the reservation information stored in the conference room information storage unit 11, the reservation user of the next reservation time zone of the target conference room and the reservation user of the reservation time zone are specified (step S2).

Information on the seat position of the reserved person identified in step S2 is acquired (step S3).

It is determined whether or not the distance between the seat position of the reserved person specified in step S2 and the position of the target conference room is equal to or less than a predetermined value. (Step S4).

If the determination result in step S4 is NO, the predicted arrival time of the reserved person specified in step S2 is calculated (step S5).

If the determination result in step S4 is YES, the predicted arrival time of the reserved user specified in step S2 is calculated (step S6).

It is determined whether the predicted arrival time calculated in step S5 or step S6 is later than the end time of the next reserved time zone of the target conference room acquired from the reservation information stored in the conference room information storage unit 11. (Step S7). If the determination result in step S4 is YES, it is determined to be YES when the predicted arrival times of all reserved users calculated in step S6 are later than the end time of the next reserved time zone. .. If the determination result in step S4 is NO, it is determined to be YES when the predicted arrival time of the reservation person calculated in step S5 is later than the end time of the next reservation time zone.

If the determination result in step S7 is YES, the reservation information is updated by deleting the reservation for the next reserved time zone of the target conference room (step 16).

If the determination result in step S7 is NO, it is determined whether or not there is a grace period until the reserved user in the next reserved time zone arrives at the target conference room based on the predicted arrival time calculated in step S5 or step S6. (Step S8). As the determination method, for example, the predicted arrival time of the reserved user calculated in step S5 or the predicted arrival time of the reserved user calculated in step S6 (if there are a plurality of reserved users, the earliest one). ) Is later than the start time of the next reserved time zone, and the difference between these predicted arrival times and the current time is larger than a predetermined time value (for example, 15 minutes). Judge YES (In this example, even if the predicted arrival time is before the start time of the next reserved time zone or the predicted arrival time is after the start time of the next reserved time zone, the predicted arrival time and If the difference from the current time is smaller than the value of the predetermined time, it will be judged as NO).

If the determination result in step S8 is YES, it is determined whether or not there is an empty conference room near the target conference room based on the location information and the reservation information of the conference room (step S9). For example, it is determined whether or not the vacant conference room selected by the selection unit and existing closest to the target conference room exists closer than a predetermined distance (for example, 30 m) from the target conference room.

If the determination result in step S9 is YES, a notification is made to request the reservation person in the next reserved time zone of the target conference room to change the reserved conference room (step S10).

The reservation person in the next reservation time zone of the target conference room makes an input regarding whether or not to approve the change of the conference room, and based on the input result, it is determined whether or not the reservation person approves the change of the conference room. (Step S11).

When the determination result in step S11 is YES, or after the reservation for the next reserved time zone of the target conference room is deleted in step S16, the display device displays that the target conference room can be reserved ( Step S12). For example, if the operator is a reservation person who has reserved the target conference room in the current reservation time zone, the conference room reservation can be extended, but if not, the target conference room is not available. It may be displayed that a new reservation is possible. An example of the former is shown in FIG.

If the determination result in step S8 is NO, the predicted arrival time calculated in step S5 or step S6 is displayed on the display device (step S13). At that time, as illustrated in FIG. 8, a message prompting prompt exit and information on an empty conference room may be further displayed.

If the determination result in step S9 is NO, the predicted arrival time calculated in step S5 or step S6 is displayed on the display device (step S14). At that time, information about the empty conference room (information indicating that there is no empty conference room) may be further displayed.

If the determination result in step S11 is NO, the predicted arrival time calculated in step S5 or step S6 is displayed on the display device (step S15). At that time, as illustrated in FIG. 9, information on an empty conference room (for example, information indicating that the conference room selected by the selection unit can be used / reserved) may be further displayed.

In the above embodiment, the conference room information storage unit 11, the conference room designated reception unit 12, the conference room position acquisition unit 13, the user position acquisition unit 14, the time calculation unit 15, and the control unit 16 are one device (meeting). Although described as the configuration included in the room reservation management server 100), the present invention can also be implemented as a system in which these are included in separate devices.

Further, in the above embodiment, the conference room reservation management server 100 having the conference room information storage unit 11 and managing the reservation information of the conference room is exemplified as the information processing device, but the present invention illustrates the conference room information storage. If another device or system having a unit 11 exists on the network 50, it can be implemented as an information processing system that does not have a function of managing reservation information of a conference room.

Further, in the above embodiment, the conference room reservation management server 100 and the operation terminal 200 have been described as separate bodies, but the present invention can be implemented even if the conference room reservation management server 100 includes a display device and an input device.
