A touch panel 851 forming part 85 is connected.

In the accommodation facility of the type described in FIG. 1, it has been the mainstream to use the payment machine 3 installed in the guest room A to pay the guest room fee. Therefore, in accommodation facilities, it is necessary to install a payment machine 3 in each room, resulting in the introduction cost and management cost of the payment machine 3. Currently, mobile terminals 8 such as smart phones are owned by individuals, and various payments using mobile terminals 8 are actively performed. The system for accommodation facilities of this embodiment makes it possible to manage points that can be used at accommodation facilities and pay room charges using such a mobile terminal 8.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the set-top box 7 installed in the guest room A is used to display the code information on the television 71 and read it on the mobile terminal 8, thereby processing points using the mobile terminal 8 and , will process the payment for the room usage fee.

FIG. 6 shows a top menu screen displayed on the television 71 by the set-top box 7. This top menu screen is the first screen displayed on the television screen 71a when the customer enters the guest room A and turns on the television 71.

Also displayed on this rate confirmation screen are a button 713 labeled "Check out," a button 714 labeled "Pay with code," and a button 715 labeled "Return to hotel menu." The user can select these buttons 713 to 715.

When the button 713 is operated, payment processing using the payment machine 3 installed in the guest room A is executed. The payment process using this payment machine 3 is a process that has been conventionally performed, so a description thereof will be omitted in this specification.

Further, the top menu screen in FIG. 6 is provided with a button 711 labeled "Display point/checkout code." When this button 711 or the button 714 in FIG. 7 is operated, a transition is made to a code display screen where code information to be read by the mobile terminal 8 is displayed. In this embodiment, it is possible to transition to the code display screen from the button 711 provided on the top menu screen or 714 provided on the fee screen.

FIG. 8 is a code display screen that displays code information 716 of this embodiment. Code information 716 composed of a two-dimensional barcode is displayed on the code display screen. In this embodiment, the code information 716 uses a QR code (registered trademark). By reading this code information 716 with the camera 84 of the mobile terminal 8, it is possible to cause the mobile terminal 8 to execute processing related to points and payment processing for paying room charges.

FIG. 9 is a flow diagram showing the code reading process executed by the mobile terminal 8. This code reading process is a process that is started by reading the code information displayed on the code display screen of FIG. 8 using the camera 84 of the mobile terminal 8 carried by the customer.

Here, the data structure of the code information of this embodiment will be explained. FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining the process of forming code information according to this embodiment. The code information is formed by the management computer 5. As shown in FIG. 10(A), the management computer 5 creates a URL for accessing with the mobile terminal 8 and information indicating necessary parameters. Here, "?Q=" placed between the URL and the parameter is identification information indicating that the description that follows is a parameter. The parameters include a facility ID for identifying the accommodation facility, a room number, etc., a guest room ID for identifying the guest room, the date of publication of this information, and the time, minute, and second of publication. Also, a check digit is included at the end for confirmation.

As shown in FIG. 10(B), the management computer 5 encrypts the parameter part of the information in FIG. 10(A), and then encrypts the two-dimensional barcode as shown in FIG. 10(C). It is converted into code information 716 of the form and displayed on the set-top box 7 of the target guest room A. Note that this code information 716 has a time limit, and is changed to new code information 716 every time a predetermined period of time elapses. For example, in the state of FIG. 8, when a predetermined time (for example, one minute) has elapsed, the code information 716 is changed to new code information. By setting the code information 716 to have a time limit in this way, it is possible to suppress unauthorized use due to external access, etc., and to perform appropriate processing.

When such code information 716 is read by the mobile terminal 8, the mobile terminal 8 extracts the URL part in the code information (S101), accesses the web page of the management computer 5 specified by the URL, and starts communication. Execute (S102). At that time, the encrypted parameter part is sent to the management computer 5 as usage information. After decrypting the received usage information, the management computer 5 causes the accessing mobile terminal 8 to display a payment top screen based on the parameters (S103). Here, the management computer 5 identifies the guest room for which the usage fee is to be paid, based on the facility ID and guest room ID (corresponding to "guest room identification information" according to the present invention) included in the parameters. In addition, the management computer 5 determines whether the code information 716 is issued within a predetermined time (for example, within a predetermined time after the management computer 5 issues the code information 716) according to the issue date and issue time, minutes, and seconds (corresponding to "issue date and time") included in the parameters. within 5 minutes). If it is within the predetermined time, the payment top screen is displayed on the mobile terminal 5. On the other hand, if the predetermined time has elapsed, the payment top screen is not displayed and error information such as an instruction to read the code information 716 is displayed again. In this way, by setting a usable period for the code information 716, unauthorized use by someone else, such as impersonation, is suppressed.

Furthermore, the management computer 5 maintains the mobile terminal 8 on which the payment top screen is displayed in a state in which payment processing can be executed until the payment processing is completed on the mobile terminal. With such a configuration, by reading the code information 716 once with the mobile terminal 8 during the stay in the guest room, it becomes possible to perform payment processing at any time during the stay. For example, even if the code information 716 is read immediately after entering the guest room, it is possible to perform payment processing without reading the code information 716 again immediately before leaving the room. This is particularly effective in accommodation facilities where the electric lock 42 is unlocked upon completion of the payment process, as in the present embodiment, because the guest remains in the guest room until the payment process is completed. .

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the management computer 5 performs point-related processing on the mobile terminal 8 that displays the payment top screen for a period after receiving the usage information from the mobile terminal until the payment processing is completed on the mobile terminal. We aim to maintain a viable state. With such a configuration, by reading the code information 716 once with the mobile terminal 8 during the stay in the guest room, it becomes possible to perform point-related processing at an appropriate timing. The point-related process is a process in which points are granted or points are made to be used by guests who are registered as members of an accommodation facility. Since the customer can perform such point-related processing at any time after reading the code information 716 until the payment process is completed, there is no need to worry about forgetting to receive points due to not logging in as a member. Alternatively, it is possible to prevent forgetting to use points. Further, by reading the code information once for payment processing, point-related processing can also be used, so there is no need to read code information for point-related processing, for example, during a stay in a guest room. In other words, by reading the code information 716 once after entering the guest room, the customer can execute point-related processing at appropriate timing during the stay period until payment processing is completed.

FIG. 11 shows a payment top screen displayed on the touch panel screen 85a of the mobile terminal 8. Note that although FIGS. 11 to 16 all show the touch panel screen 85a, they differ in length in the vertical direction. This is displayed within the touch panel screen 85a (when it is short in the vertical direction), or the entire area is displayed by scrolling the touch panel screen 85a (when it is long in the vertical direction). On the payment top screen, the accommodation facility name (Hotel Almex Meguro branch) and room 203 are written using the facility ID and guest room ID in the parameters, respectively. Additionally, the payment top screen allows you to move to a login screen for the purpose of providing point services for members. If you are a member or wish to receive services as a new member, move to the login screen by operating the section labeled "Log in here" on the payment top screen (S104: Login).

FIG. 12 shows a login screen displayed on the touch panel screen 85a of the mobile terminal 8. The login screen is provided with a member ID input field 854 and a password input field 855 for inputting a login ID as a member ID for identifying each member or an e-mail address. A user who has already registered as a member enters information in these fields and operates the login button 856 to log in. On the other hand, if a user has not yet registered as a member, operate the section marked New Member Registration to register as a new member, and then log in. If login is executed (S105: Yes), the mobile terminal 8 communicates with the management computer 5 (S106) and displays a point-related screen (S107).

FIG. 13 shows a point-related screen displayed on the touch panel screen 85a of the mobile terminal 8. On the points related screen, it is possible to select points to be used for payment. In this embodiment, a point selection field 857 is provided that allows the user to use all the points or use points specified by the user. When using points, the points to be used for payment are determined by selecting the points to be used in this point selection field 857 and operating a button 858 labeled "Use Points". The user who has completed the process related to using points operates the fee confirmation button 859 labeled "Go to fee confirmation screen" (S108: Yes) to move to the payment confirmation screen where payment processing can be executed ( S109).

FIG. 14 shows a payment confirmation screen that allows confirmation of the usage fee and payment of the usage fee. The payment confirmation screen of this embodiment displays the accommodation facility name, guest room number, and, in the case of a member, the member ID. Further, details of usage fees for accommodation facilities and the total amount are displayed. Further, in this embodiment, only payment by credit card is possible. Therefore, the payment confirmation screen is provided with a card information input field 860 for inputting various information regarding the credit card. Furthermore, in this embodiment, it is also possible to use the credit card used last time. In that case, by selecting the tab labeled "Last Card", information regarding the credit card used last time is read and used.

The user who has entered the information regarding the credit card operates a payment button 861 labeled "Payment/Checkout". When the payment button 861 is operated on the payment confirmation screen (S110: Yes), the mobile terminal 8 confirms with the management computer 5 whether or not the displayed fee has changed. In this embodiment, the state in which payment processing can be executed is maintained until the payment processing is completed on the mobile terminal 8.

Therefore, once the customer reads the code information 716, he or she can perform processing related to points and payment processing for paying room charges at appropriate timings until leaving the room. On the other hand, during this period, the period during which payment processing can be carried out is maintained, and during that time, additional charges may be incurred, such as when the usage time is extended or additional room service is ordered. is likely to be changed. Therefore, when the payment button 861 is operated on the payment confirmation screen (S110: Yes), the management computer 5 is checked to see if there is any change in the fee, and if there is a change in the fee (S111: Yes), a new The payment confirmation screen will be updated. On the other hand, if there is no change in the charge (S111: No), communication is made with the credit card payment server, and payment processing using the credit card is executed.

When the credit card payment process is completed (S112: Yes), a completion screen is displayed on the touch panel screen 85a of the mobile terminal 8 (S114). FIG. 15 shows a completion screen displayed on the touch panel screen 85a. The completion screen displays the accommodation facility name, guest room number, and, if the user is a member, the member ID. Further, as information regarding the payment, the paid fee, payment number, and payment ID are displayed. Additionally, if you are a registered member, the points you earned from this payment will also be displayed.

In this way, after completing the payment process for the usage fee using the mobile terminal 8, the customer can leave the guest room A by unlocking the electric lock 42.

The accommodation facility payment system according to the present invention has been described above, taking the accommodation facility system as an example. According to the accommodation payment system according to the present invention, a user (guest) uses a mobile terminal to perform point-related processing related to points awarded for accommodation and payment processing for room charges in the guest room. It becomes possible to do so. In this case, the user (guest) needs to read the code information 716 multiple times after entering the guest room, as the state in which payment processing can be executed is maintained at least until the payment processing is completed on the mobile terminal. This makes it possible to easily finish the payment process and leave the room.

Note that the accommodation facility payment system according to the present invention can also adopt other embodiments. In the eighth embodiment, a state in which payment processing can be executed is maintained until the payment processing is completed on the mobile terminal. When using the mobile terminal 8, the user may leave the screen for performing payment processing (FIGS. 11 to 14). For example, if you use a general-purpose browser, you may open another site, or if you use a dedicated app, you may close the dedicated app. Even in such a case, the management computer 3 of this embodiment maintains a state in which payment processing is possible. In order to make this easier for users (guests) to understand, an operation section for starting payment processing should be provided when viewing the accommodation facility's website using a general-purpose browser, or at an appropriate location such as the top screen of a dedicated app. You can also use it as

FIG. 16 is a diagram showing the top screen displayed on the touch panel screen 85a of the mobile terminal 8. FIG. 16(a) is the top screen in normal mode. From this top screen, you can perform various operations such as hotel reservations and searches. On the other hand, FIG. 16(b) shows the screen after entering the guest room, after reading the code information 716 with the mobile terminal 8, and before completing the payment process. A new button 862 (“operation unit” according to the present invention) is displayed on the screen in FIG. 16(b). By operating this button 862, the user can transition the touch panel screen 85a to, for example, the payment top screen in FIG. 11 without having to read the code information 716 again. Therefore, even if the user opens another site using a general-purpose browser, by returning to the accommodation site (for example, the top screen), the button 862 will be displayed and the user can easily start the payment process. It becomes possible to do so. Further, regarding the dedicated application, by starting the dedicated application again, a button 862 will be displayed, making it possible to easily start payment processing. Further, after the payment process is completed, this button 862 is hidden as shown in FIG. 16(a). Note that the button 862 is displayed in a state in which payment processing can be executed, and in a hidden state in a state in which payment processing cannot be executed, but the button 862 is not limited to such a form. For example, in a state in which payment processing can be executed, the button 862 is displayed in a state that allows the user to determine that it can be used on the mobile terminal 8, and in a state in which payment processing cannot be executed, the button 862 cannot be used in the mobile terminal 8. What is necessary is to display the information in a manner that allows the user to discern the information.

Note that the screen for starting the payment process may be any of the payment top screen shown in FIG. 11, the point related screen shown in FIG. 13, and the payment confirmation screen shown in FIG. For example, if the user has already completed various selections (such as using points), it may be possible to continue with the subsequent processing.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the code information 716 is displayed by operating the button 711 displayed on the top menu screen described in FIG. 6 or by operating the button 714 displayed on the fee confirmation screen. . Instead of this format, the code information may be displayed on the top menu screen. FIG. 16 shows a top menu screen according to another embodiment. Code information 716 is displayed on this top menu screen. Since the top menu screen is the first screen displayed after starting the television 71, the customer can have the code information 716 read immediately after starting the television 71.
