1 is a view showing a lodging reservation system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a lodging reservation system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a service server 100, a lodging facility terminal 200, a customer terminal 300, and a communication network 400. In the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 1, the lodging terminal 200 and the customer terminal 300 are shown one by one, but this is for convenience of description only, and the lodging terminal 200 and the customer terminal 300 are plural. Can exist.

First, the service server 100 of FIG. 1 may be a server including a single or multiple processors. The service server 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention generates a room reservation with a reservation type of either temporary reservation or normal reservation based on a reservation request from a user terminal, and a user corresponding to the room reservation The fee is charged based on at least one of a request for authentication from the terminal or a confirmation request from the terminal of the lodging facility. The specific configuration of the service server 100 will be described later.

In addition, the lodging terminal 200 is a terminal used by the owner of the lodging facility, and commercialized terminals may be used without limitation, and other functions for managing the lodging facility may be installed. In addition, the user terminal 300 is a terminal used by a customer who wants to use a lodging service according to an embodiment of the present invention, and commercialized terminals can be used without limitation. The detailed configuration of the accommodation terminal 200 and the user terminal 300 will be described later.

Currently, a large number of lodging establishments use online reservation services. In the case of small and medium-sized businesses, except for large hotels, it is difficult to operate an individual reservation system, so we use the reservation agency service provided by the online reservation service. At this time, in the online reservation service, the user may choose to make an on-site payment without making an immediate payment. However, the on-site payment function provided by the existing reservation service, in order to prevent the no-show that does not appear on the reservation date after the user makes a reservation, receives the information of the card payment means in advance, and the on-site payment is not made. Even in a case, a method of making a payment by a card as much as a payment at a fixed time is adopted. Therefore, even when the on-site payment function is selected, it is required to log in with member information. That is, the on-site payment function provided by the existing reservation services only delayed the time of payment, and there was no difference from normal payment.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the service server 100 processes normal reservations and provisional reservations for the entire room thio, but cancels temporary reservations and processes normal reservations when all room thios are exhausted. It is possible to eliminate the damage in the event of a no-show for the temporarily reserved rooms, and there is an advantage in that separate management is unnecessary.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the service server 100 does not receive user information separately when provisional reservation is made, so that the user can easily make provisional reservation for a place of interest.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the service server 100 pays a point to a user when a user who has paid on-site through temporary reservation requests authentication and charges a fee to a lodging facility, thereby abusing a lodging facility ) Can be prevented.

Meanwhile, the communication network 400 serves to connect the plurality of user terminals 300 and the accommodation terminal 200 with the service server 100. That is, the communication network 400 refers to a communication network that provides a connection path so that the user terminals 300 and the lodging terminal terminals 200 can transmit and receive packet data after accessing the application server 100. That is, the communication network 400 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be configured regardless of a communication mode such as wired communication or wireless communication, a local area network (LAN), a metropolitan area network (MAN) ), Wide Area Network (WAN), and various other communication networks. Preferably, the communication network 400 referred to in the present specification may be a known Internet or a World Wide Web (WWW). However, the communication network 400 need not be limited thereto, and may include a known wired/wireless data communication network, a known telephone network, or a known wired/wireless television communication network in at least a part thereof.

Hereinafter, with reference to the internal configuration of the service server 100, the lodging terminal 200 and the user terminal 300 will be described in more detail with respect to the present invention.

2 is a block diagram showing the internal configuration of the service server 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

2, the service server 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a service server control unit 110, a lodging facility management unit 120, a customer management unit 130, a room status management unit 140, and a reservation processing unit ( 150), a fee charging unit 160 and a normal reservation induction unit 170.

First, the service server control unit 110 of the service server 100 provides an interface through which each part of the service server 100 can perform its role, and can handle communication between the parts.

Next, the accommodation management unit 120 receives a member registration request from the accommodation terminal 200, registers the accommodation as a member, and manages a list of accommodations registered in the system. In addition, the customer management unit 130 may manage a list and information of all customers, ie users, subscribed to the lodging service of the present invention.

Next, the room status management unit 140 manages the type of rooms of the currently registered lodging establishments and the reservation status for each room. In addition, the room status management unit may manage all other information related to the rooms of the lodging establishments. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the room status management unit may receive a signal from the lodging facility terminal 300 installed at the lodging facility to manage the room status in real time, and similarly, stay in the room status changed by the service server 100 It is transmitted to the establishment terminal to synchronize with the room status. To this end, the room status management unit 140 may provide a management processor for managing the room status to the accommodation terminal 200. In addition, the room status management unit may provide a room status of a lodging establishment, at the request of the user terminal 300. The room status provided to the user terminal 300 may include information on the type of room and whether the room is available for reservation. At this time, the room status may include a reservation status for each room, and according to an embodiment of the present invention, the reservation status may be a normal reservation possible/impossible and a temporary reservation available/impossible.

Next, the reservation processing unit 150 generates room reservations at the lodging establishment based on the reservation request from the user terminal. At this time, the room reservation may include the room type, reservation type, and personal information of the room booked by the user. In particular, the room reservation according to an embodiment of the present invention may have a reservation type of either a temporary reservation or a normal reservation as a reservation type. The reservation processing unit according to an embodiment of the present invention may generate room reservations in consideration of T.O of a room, that is, the number of rooms that can be reserved. Also, the reservation processing unit may receive personal information differently according to the reservation type. For example, in the case of provisional reservation, only the user's phone number is received in addition to general reservation information such as reservation time, reservation room type, room/stay availability, etc. In the case of provisional reservation, in addition to general reservation information, the user's phone number and payment method Even information can be received.

3 illustrates an example of a screen displaying a room status and a screen requesting a reservation according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As can be seen from (a) of FIG. 3, according to an embodiment of the present invention, rooms that can be reserved in'A hostel' may be displayed at the request of a user terminal. At this time, the availability of rooms may be displayed for each room type of the accommodation. In the embodiment of FIG. 3, it can be seen that'Deluxe Premier, Royal Suite and Deluxe' is displayed among the room types of'A Hostel'. In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, together with the room type, the number of rooms and the amount of accommodation may be displayed.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the user can select the'reservation immediately' button as shown in the embodiment (a) of FIG. 3 to make a normal reservation for the corresponding room type, and select the'reservation reservation' button. You can reserve a room type temporarily. In the case of a normal reservation, the fixed amount of the room and accommodation must be paid at the time of reservation, and in the case of a provisional contract, the discounted room and the amount of the accommodation can be paid on site after arriving at the accommodation. As a result, the user can reduce the inconvenience of having to pay immediately for the reservation, and in the case of the provisional reservation, the user can use the accommodation with a discounted amount.

That is, in the embodiment of Figure 3 (a), the user can select the'reservation immediately' button to request a normal reservation for the room, and select the'provisional reservation' button to request a temporary reservation for the room Can. In more detail, since the availability status of the'Deluxe Premier' room is normal reservation and provisional reservation, the'reservation' button and the'provisional reservation' button are displayed and can be selected. On the other hand, since the availability status of the'Royal Suite' room can be booked normally or not, it can be seen that only the'Reserve Now' button is displayed and can be selected. Meanwhile, according to an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to provide a benefit according to provisional reservation. In the example of (a) of FIG. 3, the provisional reservation benefits are displayed as'provisional reservation: -20%', and '5 provisional reservation benefits are left!' As shown, the remaining quantity of the on-site payment reservation may be displayed.

The example shown in (b) of FIG. 3 illustrates a screen that may appear when the user selects the 'provisional reservation' button to apply for a temporary reservation in the embodiment of (a) of FIG. 3. Referring to (b) of FIG. 3, in order to proceed with provisional reservation, selection of a room or lodging and a mobile phone number may be entered to complete the reservation. The provisional reservation does not need to pay the accommodation fee at the time of reservation, and you can go to the accommodation facility later to pay the accommodation fee, so you do not need additional personal information other than a mobile phone. Instead, according to an embodiment of the present invention, since the normal reservation takes priority over the provisional reservation, the temporary reservation may be automatically canceled when the normal reservation quantity is exhausted. This will be described later.

In addition, the user may proceed with normal reservation by selecting'reservation immediately'. In the case of a normal reservation, payment of the accommodation fee must be completed at the time of reservation, so additional personal information such as a user's credit card number and user account information may be requested. Instead, in the case of normal payment, the reservation is confirmed immediately after payment, so the reservation does not change unless otherwise specified.

4 is a diagram illustrating a reservation confirmation page according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, when a provisional reservation is completed according to an embodiment of the present invention, a reservation confirmation page that can be displayed is illustrated. According to the embodiment of FIG. 4, provisional reservation (on-site payment reservation) has been completed, and the current reservation is in an'unconfirmed' state, and a phrase to guide this may be displayed. In addition, it is possible to provide a'reservation immediately' button so that the user of the provisional reservation can complete the payment and switch to the normal reservation. The user can select the reservation button immediately to complete the payment of accommodation and convert the provisional reservation into a normal reservation. In addition, the reservation confirmation page may additionally display information about the reservation accommodation and rooms.

As described above, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the user can make a payment on the spot without having to pay the accommodation fee immediately by temporarily booking the accommodation. However, in this case, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, there may be a problem in that a fee cannot be charged due to the employer's abusing, even though a fee for using the reservation service of the present invention must be charged to a lodging establishment.

In relation to this, in the case of a normal reservation, since payment must be completed on the reservation site at the time of reservation, a certain percentage of the payment amount can be charged to the corresponding lodging company as a fee for proxying the reservation service. However, when payment is not made at the time of reservation, such as provisional reservation according to an embodiment of the present invention, there is no way for the reservation system to know even if the user goes to the accommodation and makes an on-site payment. Therefore, even if a customer goes to a lodging facility and pays a lodging fee after making a provisional reservation, there is a possibility that the lodging business owner does an accounting without notifying the reservation system and not paying a fee.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the fee charging unit 160 according to an embodiment of the present invention, when a user stays at a lodging facility booked by provisional reservation, or pays a lodging fee and authenticates it, a user account Points can be paid. At this time, the authentication of accommodation or payment of accommodation fees may be, for example, communication with a lodging establishment through a local area network such as Bluetooth or a beacon, or by reading a code to authenticate. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the user recognizes the QR code printed on the payment receipt after payment of the accommodation fee as the user terminal 300, and then transmits an authentication request to the service server 100 to authenticate the accommodation after provisional reservation Requests can be sent. Or, according to another embodiment of the present invention, when the user terminal 300 is moved to a location within a predetermined radius from a temporary reservation accommodation, the user terminal 300 by exposing the authentication button, the user selects the authentication button Therefore, after provisional reservation, an authentication request for accommodation can be transmitted.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a request for authentication from a user or a request for confirmation from a lodging establishment can be recognized only when a predetermined time is made after leaving the room corresponding to the reservation request. For example, for accommodation after provisional reservation, only a request for authentication or confirmation request until a specific time of the next day of the morning based on the departure time can be accepted.

5 is a diagram illustrating a screen of a user terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the embodiment of FIG. 5, the user can authenticate that he/she has stayed at a temporary accommodation facility by scanning the QR code displayed at the accommodation facility using the user terminal 300. At this time, the user terminal 300 may scan the QR code using the application of the accommodation reservation service according to an embodiment of the present invention, and on the screen of the application,'authenticate only when payment is made in the field. False authentication can be canceled by the boss.' Can be displayed. In addition to the embodiment of FIG. 5, it can be verified that the provisional reservation user has stayed at a lodging facility in various ways.

In addition, the fee charging unit 160 may charge a fee by receiving a confirmation request from the terminal of the lodging facility. In the reservation system according to an embodiment of the present invention, the owner of the lodging facility may send a confirmation request for temporary reservation by notifying the reservation system when the provisional user comes to the lodging facility and makes an on-site payment and stays. That is, the business owner of the lodging establishment may transmit a confirmation request notifying that the on-site payment has been made for the provisional reservation made using the reservation system. The fee billing unit 160 that receives the confirmation request charges a fee for the accommodation.

On the other hand, when the on-site payment for the provisional reservation is made, it is ideal to receive an authentication request from the user terminal and pay points to the user, and at the same time, receive a confirmation request from the accommodation terminal and charge a fee to the accommodation terminal. However, as described above, it may be assumed that only one of the authentication request and the confirmation request exists. Alternatively, the terminal of the lodging facility may refuse to confirm. In this case, the fee charging unit 160 according to an embodiment of the present invention may charge a fee or pay points according to each case.

6 illustrates an example of determining fee charging or point payment according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, a table showing the relationship between the authentication request and the confirmation request, and the customer point and fee charge is displayed. First, if there is an authentication request from the user terminal and no confirmation request from the lodging terminal, both point payment and fee charging are performed. In this case, since there is a request for authentication from the customer, it is reported that the on-site payment has been made for the provisional reservation, and points are also paid to the user and a fee is charged to the accommodation.

Secondly, if an authentication request exists from the user terminal, but the terminal of the lodging facility refuses to confirm, the user is given a point, and a fee is not charged to the lodging facility. That is, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the terminal of the lodging facility may not only make a request for confirmation, but may reject the confirmation even if there is an authentication request from the customer. This is because it is possible to falsely authenticate that the user stayed false even though the user did not pay for the accommodation and on-site payment. In this case, the terminal of the lodging facility may refuse to confirm, and at this time, the fee will not be charged. When this second case occurs repeatedly, a happy call can be made to customers using the corresponding lodging facility to check whether the lodging and on-site payment have actually been made.

Third, when there is no authentication request from the user terminal, when the terminal of the lodging facility makes a confirmation request, both point payment and fee charging are performed. In this case, since there is a confirmation request from the lodging facility, it is reported that the on-site payment has been made for the temporary reservation, and points are paid to the user and a fee is also charged to the lodging facility.

Fourth, if there is neither an authentication request from the user terminal and a confirmation request from the lodging facility, it is reported that there is no lodging and on-site payment for provisional reservation, and neither point payment nor fee charging is performed.

Next, the normal reservation inducing unit 170 determines the tentative reservation to be canceled based on the number of rooms that can be temporarily reserved in the accommodation room and the number of rooms that can be normally reserved. In more detail, the normal reservation induction unit 170 determines the temporary reservation room thio and the normal reservation room thio with respect to the total room thio for the room of a specific room type, and based on the current room status, Based on the number and the number of rooms that can be normally booked, temporary reservations to be canceled are determined. In addition, a notification for inducing a normal reservation is provided to the user terminal 300 corresponding to the temporary reservation to be canceled. At this time, the temporary reservation to be canceled is a temporary reservation that can be canceled when there is additionally one or more normal reservation requests.

In more detail, the room status management unit 140 according to one embodiment of the present invention described above may manage the reservation thio according to each room type of the accommodation, and process normal reservations and provisional reservations according to the thio of the rooms. Can.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, since the normal reservation takes priority over the provisional reservation, when all of the normal reservations are exhausted, the normal reservation can be received using the provisional reservation thio. Or, you can cancel an already reserved temporary reservation and replace it with a normal reservation. That is, the temporary reservation is a temporary reservation and the payment has not been made. Therefore, if there is a normal reservation for immediate payment, the normal reservation is given priority over the temporary reservation.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, if there is one or more normal reservation requests, the scheduled cancellation of the temporary reservation assigned to the room corresponding to the normal reservation request is canceled, and the reservation status of the room corresponding to the canceled temporary reservation is the normal reservation. You can change to a normal reservation upon request.

For example, the provisional reservation Tio compared to Tio of all the rooms may be 30%, and if the remaining 70% of the normal reservations are full or expected to be full, the normal reservations correspond to normal reservations when additional reservations are additionally received. The provisional reservation assigned to the room may be determined as a temporary reservation to be canceled. For example, when 80% of the normal reservation thio is full or 80% of the total thio is full, a certain percentage of the current temporary reservation can be determined as the scheduled temporary reservation to be canceled.

7 is a view for showing an embodiment of determining a tentative reservation to be canceled and canceling a tentative reservation according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the embodiment of FIG. 7, the provisional reservation of the present invention will be indicated as'provisional reservation', and it is assumed that the total number of rooms in the room is six.

In the embodiment of FIG. 7(a), first, two normal reservations and four provisional reservations are completed. When the thio of the room is full due to the normal reservation and the temporary reservation, the room status management unit displays the temporary reservation as sold-out when providing the room status to the user terminal, but provides the normal reservation as possible. In other words, no more temporary reservations can be accepted, but normal reservations are marked as possible because the temporary reservations can be canceled and accepted. At this time, one or more provisional reservations may be canceled if a normal reservation is received in the order of the provisional reservation time of the four provisional reservations.

Next, in the embodiment of Fig. 7(b), a case in which one new normal reservation (new) is newly accepted is shown in the state where two normal reservations and two temporary reservations exist. In this case, since there are 6 Tios in all rooms, only one empty room remains due to the new normal reservation. In this case, if two or more normal reservations are received, the temporary reservation may be canceled, so the temporary reservations may be scheduled temporary cancellations. As described above, the normal reservation induction unit may provide a notification for inducing the normal reservation to the user terminal corresponding to the temporary reservation to be canceled. In the embodiment of Fig. 7 (b), two temporary reservation customers may be provided with the message "It is out of stock crisis. Please make a normal payment." In addition, the above message may also be provided on an individual reservation confirmation page of the lodging establishment system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

7(c) shows a case in which two normal reservations are additionally received in the state of (b). In the state of (b), there was only one empty T.O, and since there were 2 normal reservations additionally received, one provisional reservation must be canceled. Therefore, it shows a case where one provisional reservation is canceled and two normal reservations are processed. At this time, the provisional reservation assigned to the room corresponding to the new normal reservation request may be canceled. According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the allocation is made in consideration of maintaining the temporary reservation as much as possible in the normal reservation room allocation, but the temporary reservation in the optimal room to which the normal reservation should be allocated may be canceled. When the temporary reservation is canceled, a notification indicating that the temporary reservation has been canceled may be provided to a user terminal corresponding to the temporary reservation.

As described above, since the corresponding notification is provided to the user terminal corresponding to the provisional reservation determined to be the cancellation reservation, which is likely to be canceled, the user may realize that there is a possibility of cancellation if the temporary reservation is not converted to the normal reservation. Can be recognized. Nevertheless, if the user of the provisional reservation does not make a normal reservation, the provisional reservation is canceled and the user may receive a notification that the provisional reservation has been canceled.

8 is a view showing the internal configuration of the lodging terminal 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 8, the lodging terminal 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention may perform a general function required for managing the lodging establishment. In addition, the lodging terminal 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a lodging terminal control unit 210, a business information providing unit 220, a management processor acquisition unit 230, and a confirmation request generation unit 240. do.

First, the lodging terminal control unit 210 provides an interface that allows each unit of the lodging terminal 200 to perform its role, and can perform communication between the respective units.

In addition, the establishment information providing unit 220 of the lodging facility terminal 200 provides the service server 100 with information related to the lodging facility and the rooms of the lodging facility. The lodging information provided by the lodging establishment can be all information related to the establishment, such as location, business name, and phone number, and the room information can be all information related to the room such as the number of rooms, room type, room number, and availability. In addition, the server 100 may generate the above-described management processor based on the room information. That is, the establishment information providing unit 220 may provide information about the accommodation establishment so that the server 100 can generate the above-described reservation management processor.

In addition, the management processor acquiring unit 230 acquires the management processor generated by the service server 100 and displays it on the display screen of the accommodation terminal 200, and displays the changed part of the management processor according to the administrator's input from the server 100 ). That is, the manager of the lodging establishment may use the reservation management service of the lodging reservation system according to an embodiment of the present invention by using the management processor acquired by the management processor acquisition unit 230.
