Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a smart reservation system for a theme park facility,

The present invention relates to a smart reservation system and method for a theme park facility, and more particularly, to a smart reservation system for a theme park facility and a method thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to a smart reservation system for a theme park facility, And more particularly, to a system and a method for effectively utilizing facilities without reserving and lining up lines.

Nowadays, from complexity and urgency, we live in all kinds of stresses from generation to generation, from children to adolescents and older adults. Students often work with their employees or their families to find amusement parks, science parks, exhibition parks, movie parks, and other places to relax their stresses in school, work, and everyday life.

However, there is a case where the time spent waiting for the facilities (or the mixture of them in terms of equipment or rides) in the theme park which is found by solving the stress is overloaded and the stress is accumulated more. For this reason, according to the present invention, a system and a method for automatically managing waiting time and guiding the optimum course in real time are introduced to enable to use and enjoy the facilities more efficiently in the theme park.

Fun parks (or rides) in the theme parks are often crowded with many people, so people wait for more than 10 minutes and more than 30 minutes to ride these rides. As a result, various inconveniences such as waste of time, boredom, leg fatigue, and inconvenience arise in the case of the user. However, due to the introduction of the facility reservation function, it is not possible to wait for a long time in order to use the facilities, to relax in another place, to wait for another alternative play, or to use a less complicated facility first, You can be more free from waiting in line to use the facilities.

Also, from the viewpoint of the operator who operates the theme park, the user may make a reservation rather than wait for the ride to ride, use the food until the time of the reservation, purchase the souvenir in the shop, or spend money using the idle facilities Indirect sales of theme parks can be increased by inducing them. In addition, it will be able to disperse the congested population when the concentration of the theme park and convenience facilities are used.

In other words, the present invention is intended to provide a service that can utilize existing amusement parks or theme park facilities more conveniently and smartly. The present invention provides a system and a method for using the amusement park in a more convenient and leisurely manner by introducing and distributing a reservation system to customers who have been waiting for a long time for using the facilities. According to the present invention, a method of using a smart phone owned by an individual and a wearable device including a smart bracelet or a smart glass are connected to a smart screen or a signboard through NFC (Near Field Communications) to perform reservation and check the reservation status in real time And to provide a system that allows users to enjoy the services provided only by the application of the smartphone through the smart screen located in the various amusement parks.

The reservation system used in the conventional theme park and its use state are as follows. First of all, in Everland's case, it is called a Q-Pass and it is divided into two times in the morning and issued by paper. This is only for T-express, Amazon express and Safari, which are popular rides, but only one per person, even if issued. If the morning ticket ends early, you will have to wait until the afternoon sales time. Similar to Everland, Lotte World recognizes the free pass as a magic pass. When it recognizes a free ticket as a reader, a paper is issued. This paper shows that it can be boarded within a certain period of time. If you book a rides, you will not be able to reserve another for two hours, and will be no longer available when closed.

Unlike in the case of Korea, there are three types of free passes in the case of amusement parks in the United States, which are divided into VIP, single and general according to the amount of money. VIPs pay about twice as much as other tickets Should be. However, VIP tickets are not immediately passable to all rides, and there are many drawbacks that VIPs must wait in line with other regular ticket users if many people actually wait. As described above, the conventional use of the facilities for the theme park includes only a concept such as a so-called premium usage right that varies according to the amount of usage, and the concept of a smart facility reservation system using a wearable smart device, It is absent.

Korean Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2003-0075515 (September 26, 2003) discloses a method for managing a user's ID, usage information, and information on a rides and equipment used in a playground including a ticket office for a main gate and a local box office for managing several rides A central control system for wirelessly transmitting a message according to the usage order and use waiting time according to the use of the rides to the user's wireless terminal and a notification message before a time when the usage time comes, An identification display ID and usage information are stored and supplied to the central control system through the reader of the entrance checker and the user ID and usage information, And a control unit.

Another prior art, Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2013-0103086 (2013.09.23), includes the steps of: acquiring rank adjustment information including one or more use signals and the total number of waiters counted; And adjusting the waiting priority according to a result of grasping the ranking adjustment information.

However, the present invention provides a reservation of a rides, a calculation of an optimum waiting time, and an optimized schedule according to the optimum waiting time, in addition to the order of use of the prior art and notification of the waiting time of use. It is possible to use wearable devices such as smart bracelets and smart watches as well as smart phones instead of providing terminals separately. It is also possible to collect location information of each user who has already made a reservation, It is possible to prevent unnecessary waiting time from being increased due to unnecessary waiting staff, and to access the Internet through WiFi, 3G, LTE or the like.

That is, according to the present invention, an optimum waiting time is calculated for a given time in each playground, and a maximized utilization efficiency and an optimized schedule and reservation service for the entire playground are provided based on the optimal waiting time. In addition, the present invention provides a facility for a facility user to make an optimum use time among a plurality of facilities and perform a reservation through a reservation screen (smart screen) scattered in a theme park.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A smart reservation system and method for reserving facility use to a smart terminal in a theme park according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a smart reservation system for reserving use of facilities in a wearable device in a theme park according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in the figure, the theme park is equipped with an electric signboard and a smart screen, and various facilities including an exhibition hall, a playground, an experiential hall, a restaurant, a gift shop, and the like are installed. You can substitute the entrance device with electric signboard or smart screen. In such an infrastructure, a user of the facility wears a wearable device and reserves the use of the facility on a smart screen or an electric sign board.

That is, the smart reservation system for reserving facility use in the theme park of the present invention includes a smartphone 140 or smart screen 150 and a smart terminal including a wearable device worn or possessed by a user who intends to use the facility 170, a reservation server 110, a database 130, or a combination thereof.

The smart terminal 170 including the wearable device includes smart phones naturally, but in particular, the present invention includes various types and types of smart devices including smart watches, smart goggles, smart glasses, and smart bands. The wearable device can display only very limited information even if the wearable device is not provided with its own independent display or is equipped with it. Therefore, in case of a wearable device, there are many restrictions on accessing a reservation server in the theme park and performing reservation of the facility by itself. Therefore, it is advantageous that the wearable device accesses a large, medium or small smart screen and performs reservation through the smart screen. On the other hand, in the case of a terminal capable of displaying most structures for a theme park like a smartphone, a separate screen such as a smart screen or a display board may not be required. However, in the case of smart phones, there are concerns that it is ludicrous, cumbersome, or even lost in possession of it, using play equipment, or using or viewing specific facilities in the exhibition hall. In this regard, it is convenient to wear wearable devices in most theme parks and exhibition halls. On the other hand, if smartphone is used, communication interface with smart screen, electric signboard, reservation server or facilities can be more smooth. In the present invention, it is possible to make a reservation using a smart phone, but it is also possible to tag the smart screen by using a wearable device, and to make a reservation using a convenient user interface (UI) There are advantages to be able to.

In addition, although the electric signboard 140 of the present invention is mainly used for unilateral display of a reservation status of a user of a facility or a theme park common to publicity, advertisement, or usage status, considering the size and accessibility of the user, And a touch screen, so that the user can directly use the touch screen to perform facility reservation.

The smart screen 150 has a screen size of about 14 inches or more. However, the smart screen 150 has a wired or wireless communication interface with a smart terminal, It is preferable that a wireless communication interface is provided. The smart screen having such a communication function transmits the reservation input information of the user to the reservation server and also displays the reservation information transmitted from the reservation server on the screen to inform the user. In particular, the smart screen displays images or photographs of the entire configuration of the theme park transmitted from the reservation server, information on images or locations of the facilities installed in the theme park, and displays the location of the smart screen and the utilization Displays the user interface screen necessary for reservation. In addition, the user provides an input / output interface so that a user can interact with the touch screen when providing a user interface to directly perform a facility reservation. Although the present invention has been described with reference to a smart screen, the display panel can be configured to handle the same communication and user interface functions as the smart screen.

The communication between the smart screen and the smart terminal can be intercon- nected via a communication interface including NFC means including Bluetooth, ZigBee, RFID, IR, or WiFi, and interfaces to other wired / They may be connected to each other through an interface to the data network. In addition, the smart terminal can directly access the reservation server, but in the present invention, it is preferable that the display board or the smart screen communicate with the reservation server to mutually interface.

The wired or wireless network 120 may be configured as a data network of the cloud computing concept, or may be configured as an intranet, or may be connected to the Internet. In the case of the cloud, it is possible to configure the system by providing services to the infrastructure by IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) without having to configure the reservation server and the database separately as an operator of the theme park. In terms of security, intranet configuration may be more advantageous than Internet. However, problems may arise where professional maintenance personnel reside and problems may arise. In the case of the Internet, there is convenience, but security may be difficult. Therefore, the theme park operator can configure the network by selecting an advantageous method among them.

The database 130 individually stores the location and reservation contents of the user who uses the theme park, and collectively stores the overall necessary information about the structure of the theme park, the location and information of various facilities, the capacity of the boarding (accommodation) And may include various detailed information necessary for the software developer, information about the library or software, if necessary for expanding the functions of the user, the manager, or the reservation server. In addition, a fee to be paid when each user uses the facility Information or a communication cost for the user when the user accesses the external internet using the smart screen, and ultimately, the user can utilize the information as a basis for settlement of the payment using the various facilities.

The reservation server 110 can process various kinds of information necessary for the basic operation and maintenance and management of the theme park, and provides the users with the information (presently in use or the like) necessary for the facility use reservation of facility users, Information about the self and information about the waiting time of the user who has applied for the reservation so far and the expected time at the time of reservation is calculated and provided to each user.

Specifically, the reservation server provides information on the user interface so that the user can conveniently make a reservation on the smart screen, calculates an optimal reservation condition based on the reservation condition inputted by the user using the user interface, To the corresponding smart screen where the user is located.

With respect to the configuration of the user interface, a screen is variably configured in accordance with the resolution of the screen on a smart screen or a display board in a reservation server in consideration of the environment of a theme park in which the locations of various facilities and the resources and kinds of facilities are increased or decreased. The user interface template can be specified so that the user interface can be configured so that the software can be provided so that the user interface template can be configured and provided adaptively to the change of environment for various theme parks.

That is, the reservation server defines a frame (screen size, menu configuration, arrangement, image information, title information, etc.) for the configuration of the reserved user interface screen and configures it as a template and applies the frame configuration of the template in pre- (Such as using tools such as lexical analysis and yacc) to create a new user interface screen adaptively to users without recompiling the software. Of course, software for performing these functions may be implemented directly on a display board or a smart screen instead of a reservation server, so that there is no restriction on the installation position of the software for the user interface configuration.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a reservation method and a procedure using a smart reservation system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the scenario for the reservation method and procedure is as follows.

1) First, when the user approaches the smart screen to reserve the facility use, the smart screen recognizes the smart terminal including the wearable device possessed by the user. At first, the smart screen only recognizes the ID of the smart terminal of the user, and the reservation is made based on this. However, since these IDs are given by the devices for recognizing each other, it is also possible for the user to give a nickname for the ID and use a more friendly ID for the user. That is, the user accesses the facility use reservation user interface screen through the application of the smart screen or smart phone (S201).

2) Next, in a state in which the smart screen recognizes the smart terminal (device) of the user, the user wants to use the facilities (or the rides desired to be used) through the user interface displayed on the screen of the smart screen (For example, 5 or more), the system may not be able to adapt to a situation where the time to ride the rides is difficult, It is also possible to recommend the number of facilities suitable for making a reservation at step S202). At this time, it is possible to forcibly designate the priority among the selected facilities or softly designate the facility so that the user can select the facility which he wants to use more. For example, you can give priority to two rides that you want to ride the most. However, as the number of facilities to which priority is given increases, the significance of the priority may be discarded, so that it is possible to limit or recommend the appropriate number (for example, 1 or 2). If you choose to do so, the priority facility will be placed first, then the next priority facility will be reserved for future use. In addition to this, you can also make reservations in advance for the use of the specified facilities (for example, to specify the first, the last, or the intermediate or specific order of a particular facility) The play equipment is once fixed and the reservation order is determined with the remaining selected facilities (S202).

3) It is possible to show the recommended reservation path and the estimated usage time by calculating the required waiting time and the usage path in the reservation server with respect to the selected play equipment, and to show the reservation path and the estimated usage time as alternatives by a predetermined number . For example, two recommended routes may be shown, and the first recommended route may be the remaining facilities (eg, three) except for the facilities (eg, two) that have the priority of the selected facilities (eg, five) The shortest time in the current time, and displays the recommended route and the estimated time by time. The second recommendation route is to calculate the shortest time from the current time for the remaining facilities (eg, 3) excluding the facilities that have priority (eg, 5) among the selected facilities (eg, 3) Respectively. Of course, if it is not desired to set the priority, all the selected facilities (e.g., five) are calculated and displayed by the current time or the closest time or distance from the current place (S203).

4) At this time, on the user interface screen, the estimated ride time and the total travel time of all the selected rides are displayed according to the recommended route, and the recommended route is displayed on the map by overlapping the recommended route. On the other hand, a riding device having a long waiting time for reservation may be given a time for rest in a reserved time zone, and a recommended route may be displayed on the screen, and the time for resting may be forcibly arranged at a desired time. For example, it is possible to select a resting time between play equipment as 1 hour or 30 minutes (S204).

4) If the user likes the recommended route, the user can send a confirmation command to perform the reservation through the smart screen. In this case, the reservation server makes a reservation for the corresponding route. According to the new condition, the reservation server transmits a new estimated time and distance to the electric signboard or the smart screen and outputs the estimated recommended time and distance to the smart screen or the smart screen when the user himself / herself rearranges the displayed recommended route (for example, (S205).

If the user does not have the possibility to use the rides at the time of reservation of the rides even though the user has time to ride the rides reserved by him / her, a notification message (LED, vibration , A warning sound, etc.). Since the access point is installed around the amusement park (around the smart screen or around the playground), the reservation server can track and identify each user's location from the smart device possessed by each user, A notification message is sent before the time to reach the apparatus exceeds the time to be taken so that the user can recognize this fact. If there is no response in spite of the above notification message or there is no possibility of using the rides as expected, it is forcibly canceled.

The present invention differs slightly in function depending on whether to make a reservation using a smart screen, a smartphone application, or a billboard, but basically, there is a method for shortest path or shortest time reservation And the procedure is not different.

When making a reservation on a smart screen, the user first navigates to the nearest smart screen and tags the smart device at the location of the NFC reader on the smart screen. Then, the reservation user interface screen appears on the smart screen, and you can search the whole situation such as the usage situation of all the rides and the waiting staff. At this time, the user can check the current estimated number of people, the estimated time, and the estimated time of boarding of the rides to be reserved. Based on the information, the user selects the rides desired by the user regardless of the information. As a result, the user can easily display the moving movement line on the graphic display screen according to the optimum moving time or the required time. do. Finally, when the user wants to reserve the schedule, the rides selected at once are reserved at a time, so the user checks the contents to be reserved once and executes the reservation. The result of executing the reservation can be simply guided in a smart device in the form of arrows or symbols, simply in time, direction, place or a combination thereof. Thus, the user can rest assured that he / she can freely use the play equipment for the desired time without worrying about the subsequent reservation.

When making a reservation using a smartphone application, the user first accesses the reservation server with a smart phone, downloads the application program or logs it remotely and executes the application program. Then, the reservation is made through the reservation user interface screen . Since this application program is executed in the HTML5 based mobile web environment, it has a structure that is independently performed without being influenced by the device or OS of the smartphone. Therefore, it is characterized in that the user can pay directly for the usage fee for the play equipment without a separate authentication program such as Active X. The procedure for reservation of other playground equipment is the same as that for reservation using smart screen. However, when using a smartphone, the communication interface used by the smartphone may be via a smart screen, or may be directly connected through a public wireless Internet or a wireless communication interface such as WiFi, 3G, 4G or LTE.

In the case of using the electric signboard, since the electric signboard itself mainly plays a role of displaying the reservation contents, when the user approaches the electric signboard, the electric signboard recognizes the user's smart device and automatically displays the reservation contents of the user recognized by the device As shown in FIG. This is because the user is automatically recognized and displayed without any action (such as touching) by himself or herself, so that the user can freely and conveniently use the electric sign board.

In addition, in the smart reservation system according to the present invention, it is also possible for a plurality of users to perform reservation as a group. In this case, one of a plurality of users grouped in a group can make a reservation as a representative, After defining the range of the ID of the group to which the user belongs, a nickname having a representative name is determined, and the reservation procedure can be performed in the same manner as the reservation of one user. When one of the persons belonging to the group approaches the electric sign board after making the reservation, the reservation status of the user recognized by the group and the electric signboard belonging to the group is automatically displayed on the screen.

That is, in the case of group reservation, the representative of the group performs the reservation, but when each member approaches the electric signboard or the smart screen, it is possible to check the contents of the reservation, and the reservation server can notify all the members of the reserved group Respectively.

3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a process of reserving a facility on a smart screen and a billboard in a smart reservation system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, when a user who intends to use the facility approaches the smart screen or the electric sign board, the user is recognized through the NFC. The smart screen or the electric signboard recognizes the user's ID, . In the case of a new user who wishes to reserve a facility, the user first selects a desired playground, and recommends a predetermined number of candidates for the shortest path and the shortest time (use time) based on the selected playground. The user can select one of these recommended candidates and execute the reservation with a single click (touch).

In addition, the user reserves the first play equipment to be used, and after a reservation is made from time to time, the state of the people using the play equipment is constantly changed. It is necessary to check and reflect this state change in real time. The reservation server checks the waiting staff of each playground in real time through the smart screen or the electronic board, and then informs the user about the waiting time and waiting time. Based on this, the user can update the reservation contents in real time.

When the wearer wears the wearable device 170 and approaches the smart screen 140 or the electric sign board 150, the user is recognized through the NFC, and the user interface 301 is displayed on the screen. The user wearing the wearable device can execute the reservation through the user interface on the large screen of the smart screen.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a process for a user to schedule use of a facility through a smart screen and a billboard in a smart reservation system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

As shown, the user of the theme park first selects at least one facility (e.g., a playground) to use (S401). The reservation is performed on the basis of the selected play equipment. If the priority order is specified, priority ordering is performed (S403). Otherwise, a predetermined number of recommended routes or recommendation time (S404), thereby making it convenient for the user to use the reservation system. Next, according to whether or not an operation is required for the recommended route (S405), if an operation is required, the user (user) can rearrange it in an arbitrary order as desired (S406). Next, a resting time can be inserted on the way of using the rides (S407), and when a resting time is to be inserted, the resting time is arranged (S408). Next, the reservation is finally executed as specified by the user (S409).

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a case where a situation is changed after a user has reserved a use of a facility through a smart screen and a billboard in a smart reservation system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in the figure, in a case where a reservation is made for each facility and a change is made to a state different from a reservation state when a predetermined time elapses, the number of waiting persons for each facility is checked in real time (S501) , The real time check result is reflected in the reservation contents, and if there is a change in the reservation contents, the notification message is transmitted to the user in real time (S502). Next, when the user confirms the notification (S503) and wants to change the reservation contents, the reservation is updated by reflecting the changed reservation contents (S504). Otherwise, the original reservation state is maintained (S505).

In this way, if a person who has reserved a particular facility after a certain period of time has already canceled the reservation or is in a state where the facility is not available, the previous reservation situation will change, It is necessary to change the state of the user who has been changed.
