Description

Non-face-to-face short-term rental system for accommodation or space {NON-CONTACT TYPE SHORT-TERM RENTAL SYSTEM FOR ACCOMMODATION OR SPACE}

The present invention relates to a non-face-to-face short-term rental system for accommodations or spaces, and more particularly, accommodations such as pensions, guesthouses, and residences, or spaces such as party rooms and conference rooms can be rented to tenants for a short-term non-face-to-face, and efficient reservation and a short-term rental system that enables management.

Recently, interest in a system capable of conducting related tasks in a non-face-to-face manner without face-to-face contact between people has increased due to various reasons such as the spread of viruses and the reduction of management personnel.

The need for such non-face-to-face management is also emerging in the business field where accommodations such as pensions, guesthouses, residences, or spaces such as party rooms and conference rooms are reserved and used.

1 relates to a system and method for controlling access to a conventional rental property or accommodation, and is described in Patent Registration No. 10-1690010.

Referring to FIG. 1, the system is configured so that the tenant can control the opening and closing of the door lock 1 using a smartphone, and communication between the door lock 1 that controls the opening and closing of the door and the door lock 1 is established. A user terminal (2) installed with a key management application for storing and managing encryption key information capable of controlling the opening and closing of the door through a payment server (3) for payment of usage fees or rent for the building, and the payment server (3) and a management server 4 that transmits, updates, shares, approves use, extends use, suspends use, or discards encryption key information through linkage with key management applications.

Looking at the above-mentioned conventional system, the door lock (1) installed on the door of the rental property communicates with the management server (4) to check whether the encryption key information transmitted from the user terminal (2) matches the given encryption key. Communication means must be installed.

This is, when the system is implemented by replacing the door lock (1) on the door of the existing accommodation and rental space, a communication module is built in so that the door lock (1) can communicate, and the door lock (1) and the management server (4) It means that wired or wireless communication facilities that can mediate for communication must always be in operation inside the accommodation or rental space.

Since having such facilities requires a very large cost burden and cumbersome installation work for business operators, it acts as an obstacle to the realization of a non-face-to-face reservation and management system.

The present invention has been devised from the above point of view, and an object of the present invention is to provide a system capable of non-face-to-face reservation management for accommodations or spaces such as accommodations such as pensions, guesthouses, residences, or spaces such as party rooms and conference rooms. It is to provide a short-term rental system that can be implemented with very simple operation and low cost.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a short-term rental system with excellent security and convenience, even when reservations and management of lodgings or spaces are made non-face-to-face.

A reservation management system for accommodation or space for short-term rental according to the present invention includes a reservation management server for making reservations and management for short-term rental of accommodation or space, installed in a customer's smartphone, and connecting to the reservation management server online. When making a reservation for the lodging or space, a guide app that receives the rental encryption key and usage time information that can open the lodging, and a short-range communication module installed on the door of the lodging or space and tapping the smartphone The locking state of the door is unlocked by receiving the rental encryption key and usage time information, and the communication means includes a door lock having only the short-range communication module.

In addition, the reservation management system for accommodation or space for short-term rental of the present invention includes, in the door lock, a lock driving unit for locking and unlocking the door, a memory in which a plurality of stored encryption keys assigned a rank are stored, and the smartphone A controller that controls the lock drive unit to release the lock when the rental encryption key received by tagging matches the storage encryption key of the highest rank among a plurality of storage encryption keys stored in the memory, and information by voice or screen An information output unit is provided to display, the guide app calculates the remaining time using the received usage time information, transmits the remaining time to the door lock when the smartphone is tagged, and the controller calculates the remaining time as the remaining time. It is displayed as an information output unit, and when the door lock receives the remaining time by tagging of a smartphone, the controller sets the night code connected to the corresponding storage encryption key as the remaining time, and when the time of the night code passes Another feature is that the controller deletes the corresponding storage encryption key from the memory.

In addition, in the reservation management system for accommodation or space for short-term rental of the present invention, when the usage time based on the usage time information elapses, the guide app activates a selection window for whether or not a temporary key is needed, and determines that a temporary key is required. If selected, the reservation management server requests issuance of a temporary key, and the reservation management server transmits the temporary key corresponding to the highest storage encryption key excluding the previously used storage encryption key for the corresponding door lock and temporary use time information to the smart key. When the smartphone is tagged, the remaining time calculated using the temporary use time information is transmitted to the door lock and set as the night code of the storage encryption key corresponding to the temporary key. Another characteristic is that the remaining time calculated using the time information is within one hour.

In addition, the reservation management system for short-term rental accommodations or spaces of the present invention, when the guide app simultaneously reserves a plurality of accommodations or spaces, provides a phone number for receiving the rental encryption key and usage time information for each accommodation or space. The input window for each input is activated, and the input window includes a selection item for selecting at least two master smartphones among the input smartphones, and the guide app of the master smartphone is a plurality of lodgings or spaces reserved at the same time. All rental encryption keys are received, and among all the received rental encryption keys, the rental encryption keys of the accommodation or space matched to the master smartphone and the rental encryption keys of other accommodations or spaces are separately stored, and the other accommodations or spaces are stored. The door lock of is characterized in that, when the master smartphone is tagged, the locking state is released after the relay time has elapsed.

In addition, the reservation management system for accommodation or space for short-term rental according to the present invention is characterized in that the number of storage encryption keys stored in the memory is a selected number from 50 to 10 million.

According to the present invention, a non-face-to-face short-term rental system for accommodation or space is to simply replace the existing door lock with a door lock having a built-in short-range communication module and a memory in which numerous stored encryption keys are stored on the door of an existing accommodation or rental space. Since the door lock does not need to communicate separately with the main server, etc., it is possible to implement a reservation management system with very simple operation and low cost in existing short-term rental accommodations or spaces.

In addition, the present invention is configured to unlock the door lock by checking whether it matches the storage encryption key of the highest rank among a plurality of storage encryption keys, and to delete the used storage encryption key after the remaining time using the night code, so that the door lock Even if it does not communicate with this main server, it can have high security.

In addition, the present invention enables the request for issuance of a temporary key by the guide app and the issuance of the temporary key by the reservation management server, and is configured so that the temporary key is efficiently used in the door lock, so that the door lock does not communicate with the main server or the like.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

2 and 3, the reservation management system for short-term rental lodging or space according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a reservation management server 10 that performs reservation and management of short-term rental for lodging 50 or space. And, when making a reservation for the accommodation 50 or space by connecting online to the reservation management server 10 installed on the customer's smartphone 30, the rental encryption key and usage time information that can open the accommodation 50 It is installed on the door of the accommodation 50 or space and receives the rental encryption key and usage time information by the short-range communication module 41 when the smartphone 30 is tagged, and the locking state of the door is checked. Release and the communication means includes the door lock 40 having only the short-distance communication module 41.

The reservation management server 10 performs reservation and management of the accommodation 50 or space in the reservation company, and reservation and payment can be made online by accessing the guide app of the smartphone 30, and the Internet network Reservation payment can also be made through the PC terminal.

The reservation management server 10 issues a rental encryption key to be used for the reservation time or reservation period when making a reservation for the accommodation 50 or space, and transmits the rental encryption key to the smartphone 30 of the reservation in advance so that the smartphone ( The guide app in 30) stores and manages the received rental encryption key.

The rental encryption key that the reservation management server 10 transmits to the reservation's smartphone 30 is a storage encryption key of tens to tens of millions stored in the memory 43 in the reserved accommodation 50 or the door lock 40 of the space. It is the same as the highest stored encryption key among them.

On the other hand, the guide app is an application installed on the customer's smartphone 30, and can open the accommodation 50 when making a reservation for the accommodation 50 or space by accessing the reservation management server 10 online Receives the rental encryption key and usage time information, stores and manages it in the smartphone 30, calculates the remaining time using the received usage time information, and assigns the remaining time to the door lock 40 when the smartphone 30 is tacked. convey

The guide app includes a reservation payment module, an authentication module, and an encryption key management module.

The reservation payment module receives status information of the accommodation 50 or space, information on the reservationable accommodation 50 or space from the reservation management server 10 at the time of reservation of the accommodation 50 or space, Payment information, discount information, etc. according to conditions such as the accommodation 50 or space usage schedule are provided, and payment processing can be performed through the reservation management server 10.

The authentication module is a module for processing an authentication task based on reservation information reserved by a user, and inputs personal information for authentication and transmits it to the reservation management server 10 .

The encryption key management module receives a rental encryption key capable of unlocking the accommodation 50 or space from the reservation management server 10 according to the result of the authentication process of the authentication module, and when opening the door, a short-range communication module such as NFC ( 41), the rental encryption key can be delivered to the accommodation 50 or the door lock 40 of the space.

The point at which the encryption key management module receives the rental encryption key is the point immediately after reservation and payment are completed through the reservation management server 10, and the smart phone 30 tags the reserved accommodation 50 or space It is also possible when the guide app of the smartphone 30 is connected to the reservation management server 10.

Since the period during which the guide app can unlock the door lock 40 of the accommodation 50 or space by the received rental encryption key is limited to the reservation period, when the reservation period elapses, the memory 43 of the door lock 40 The storage encryption key is deleted from the unlocking of the door lock (40) is impossible.

On the other hand, referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the door lock 40 is installed on the door of the accommodation 50 or space, and the rental encryption key and usage time are provided by the short-range communication module 41 when the smartphone 30 is tagged. The door is unlocked by receiving the information, and the communication means includes only the short-distance communication module 41 .

The door lock 40 of the present invention is a door lock 40 equipped with only a short-range communication module 41 such as NFC, in which numerous stored encryption keys are stored for unmanned accommodation 50 or a system using space, each accommodation 50 Alternatively, it is sufficient to install it independently in the space, and there is no need to install a separate wired or wireless communication facility to communicate with the management server, etc., since only the door lock 40 is replaced for each accommodation 50 or space, device and system construction It is very simple and can be installed at a very low cost.

Referring to FIG. 4, the door lock 40 includes a lock driving unit 42 for locking and unlocking the door, a memory 43 storing a plurality of stored encryption keys ranked in order, and the smartphone. A controller for controlling the lock drive unit 42 to release the lock when the rental encryption key received by the tagging of (30) matches the storage encryption key of the highest rank among a plurality of storage encryption keys stored in the memory 43 ( 44) and an information output unit 45 that displays information by voice or screen.

The lock driving unit 42 is a part enabling locking and unlocking operations by protruding and retracting the dead bolt of the door lock 40, including an electric motor.

The information output unit 45 displays information through a display, can display the currently used accommodation 50 or available remaining time of the space, and is installed on both the outer and inner surfaces of the door lock 40. it is desirable to be

Referring to FIG. 3, the memory 43 stores a plurality of stored encryption keys ranked in order.

The storage encryption key is a selected number of 50 to 10 million, and when the door lock 40 is manufactured, the storage encryption key is stored in the memory 43 and is commercialized, and 1,000 to 30,000 storage encryption keys are more preferable.

The storage encryption keys stored in each door lock 40 are stored together in matching order numbers, and the order numbers represent the rankings of the storage encryption keys.

The order number and storage encryption key stored in the memory 43 are equally stored in the reservation management server 10 for each product number of each door lock 40, so that the reservation management server 10 uses the stored information to make a reservation (50) Alternatively, the highest rental encryption key of the space may be transmitted to the user's smartphone (30).

In addition, the storage encryption key stored in the memory 43 is stored by matching one-to-one with the bomb code, and the initial bomb code is uniformly set for an infinite period and stored, but the guide app uses the received If the remaining time is calculated using the time information and the remaining time is transmitted to the door lock 40 when the smartphone 30 is tagged, the controller 44 of the door lock 40 retains the night code connected to the corresponding storage encryption key. set to time

When the night code time elapses, the controller 44 deletes the corresponding storage encryption key from the memory 43. This is a process of deleting the previously used rental encryption keys one by one from numerous storage encryption keys in the memory 43 of the door lock 40 so that they cannot be used any more after the reservation period has elapsed.

When the remaining time is transmitted to the door lock 40 when the smartphone 30 is being tagged, the controller 44 displays the remaining time on the information output unit 45 so that the user can check it, and outputs the information on the screen. It is also possible by voice instead.

Hereinafter, the operation flow of the door lock 40 in the smartphone 30 and the accommodation 50 or space according to an embodiment of the present invention will be sequentially described.

First, the user activates the guide app on the smartphone 30, contacts the reservation management server 10 through the Internet connection through the guide app, selects the accommodation 50 or space, makes a reservation and pays.

Thereafter, the reservation management server 10 issues a rental encryption key of the same code as the top storage encryption key among numerous storage encryption keys stored in the accommodation 50 or the door lock 40 of the space. In addition, the usage time information is transmitted to the smartphone 30 together with the rental encryption key.

The usage time information is information transmitted, for example, from 15:00 on February 2, 2020 to 16:30 on February 04, 2020.

When the user visits the accommodation 50 or space on the reservation date and tags the smartphone 30 with the door lock 40, the rental encryption key and the remaining time are transmitted to the door lock 40 through the NFC module of the door lock 40. do. (Step S10 in FIG. 6)

Using the usage time information, the smart phone 30 calculates the remaining time for using the accommodation 50 or space at the time of tagging the door lock 40 and transfers it to the door lock 40. When calculating the remaining time from the above example usage time information, for example, when the smartphone 30 is tagged at 16:30 on February 2, 2020, the remaining time transmitted to the door lock 40 is 48 hours 00 minutes It will be.

The controller 44 of the door lock 40 operates the lock driver 42 to release the lock when the rental encryption key input through the NFC module matches the highest storage encryption key among numerous storage encryption keys stored in the memory 43 control, and the remaining time is output to the information output unit 45. (Step S20 in FIG. 6)

In order to open the door lock 40, making the rental encryption key match the highest storage encryption key among the numerous storage encryption keys stored in the memory 43 is to store tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of storage encryption keys of the door lock 40 to external Since there is a probabilistic possibility that the randomly generated rental encryption key coincidentally matches one of the tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of storage encryption keys, if it matches only the storage encryption key with the highest sequence number among them, the door lock 40 is unlocked. The reservation management server 10 also configures the system to issue a rental encryption key corresponding to the storage encryption key to be placed in the highest order at the time of starting use.

Accordingly, the probability that the lock release of the door lock 40 occurs due to coincidence of the rental encryption key randomly generated from the outside can be reduced to the limit.

After that, during the reservation period, the user can freely unlock the door lock 40 of the lodging 50 or space.

The storage encryption key used by tagging of the smart phone 30 is matched with a night code for the remaining time and stored in the memory 43, and the controller 44 reads the night code and converts the storage password used when the remaining time elapses. The key is deleted from memory 43.

Accordingly, the highest storage encryption key in the memory 43 becomes the next storage encryption key.

On the other hand, while using the accommodation 50 or the space, there may be a situation in which the user cannot open the door lock 40 beyond the use time, such as belongings inside.

In this situation, the guide app may request the issuance of a temporary key so that it is possible to leave the room after cleaning up the accommodation 50 or the space for a set time.

To this end, the guide app activates a selection window for whether or not a temporary key is needed when the usage time according to the usage time information elapses. At this time, when the user leaves the room after arranging belongings of the accommodation 50 or space used, the guide app is terminated without a separate request.

However, if the accommodation 50 or belongings in the space have not yet been cleaned up, a temporary key is selected as necessary by the user's selection as shown in FIG. 5, and the guide app sends the temporary key to the reservation management server 10. request the issuance of (Step S30 in FIG. 6)

The reservation management server 10 transmits the temporary key and temporary use time information corresponding to the highest storage encryption key excluding the previously used storage encryption key for the corresponding door lock 40 to the smartphone 30 .

That is, the previously used storage encryption key will be deleted as the remaining time passes by the night code, and the highest storage encryption key becomes the storage encryption key of the next sequential order, and the storage encryption key is provided as a temporary key. (Step S40 in FIG. 6)

The temporary use time information is set to a time within one hour, for example, 30 minutes, and the door lock 40 is unlocked and the information output unit 45 is tagged by the smart phone 30 receiving the temporary key and the temporary use time information. ) indicates the remaining time, and the remaining time calculated using the temporary use time information is transmitted to the door lock 40 and set as the night code of the storage encryption key corresponding to the temporary key.

After unlocking by the temporary key, when belongings are arranged and leaving the room is completed, the used storage encryption key is deleted from the memory 43 after the remaining time, which is the temporary use time, has elapsed by the night code. (Step S50 in FIG. 6)

Therefore, when a user of one accommodation 50 or space uses a temporary key while using it once, two encryption keys among numerous storage encryption keys stored in the memory 43 are deleted.

However, since the number of stored encryption keys stored in the memory 43 may be in the thousands or tens of thousands, even if the number of stored encryption keys is not supplemented by separate communication, smooth use is possible for a sufficiently long period of time.

Meanwhile, according to the present embodiment, there may be cases in which a user simultaneously reserves a plurality of accommodations 50 or spaces using a guide app.

In such a case, an input window for inputting a phone number to receive a rental encryption key and usage time information for each accommodation 50 or space is activated, and at least two master smartphones among the input smartphones 30 are activated in the input window. (31) is included.

The guide app of the master smartphone 31 receives all the rental encryption keys of a plurality of accommodations 50 or spaces booked at the same time, and among all the received rental encryption keys, the accommodations 50 matched to the master smartphone 31 ) Or the rental encryption key of the space and the rental encryption key of the other lodging (50) or space are stored separately.

Then, while using the lodging 50 or space, if a guest of another lodging 50 or space leaves the smartphone 30 inside or loses it, the master smartphone 31 is used as shown in FIG. It is possible to open other accommodations (50) or spaces.

The door lock 40 of another accommodation 50 or space, when the master smartphone 31 is tagged, releases the locked state after the relay time elapses. (Steps S60 to S70 in FIG. 6)

This is because the opening of the door lock 40 of another accommodation 50 or space by the master smartphone 31 can be made at any time for various reasons, and there is a risk of invasion of privacy when there is a guest inside, so The minimum time required for release, that is, the relay time is set.

The master smartphone 31 stores a plurality of rental encryption keys that are valid at the time of tagging, and the rental encryption key of the accommodation 50 or space matched to the master smartphone 31 is stored separately by the guide app. When the master smartphone 31 tags the accommodation 50 or the door lock 40 of the space, the controller 44 of the door lock 40 reads all of the plurality of rental encryption keys to confirm that the master smartphone 31 is The operation of the lock driving unit 42 is delayed by the stored relay time.

Here, the other lodgings 50 or spaces are the remaining lodgings 50 excluding the lodgings 50 or spaces used by the user with the master smartphone 31 among the plurality of lodgings 50 or spaces of companions booked at the same time. or space.

The relay time may be set at the time of manufacturing the door lock 40 to 30 seconds, 1 minute, etc. from the tagging time of the master smartphone 31, and the door lock 30 seconds or 1 minute later by voice by the information output unit 45 (40) outputs that the lock release is scheduled, and the lock release is performed after the relay time has elapsed. (Step S70 in FIG. 6)

In addition, the configuration so that at least two master smartphones 31 can be selected and designated in the above configuration, when only one master smartphone 31 is designated, the user with the master smartphone 31 can use the master smartphone ( 31) may be left in the accommodation 50 or lost, so at least two master smartphones 31 are selected and designated.

Therefore, when two lodgings 50 or spaces are reserved, both smartphones 30 are selected as master smartphones 31, and when five lodgings 50 or spaces are reserved, 2 The smartphone 30 of the unit is selected and designated as the master smartphone 31 .

Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the above embodiments are only one embodiment within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention, and for those skilled in the art, within the technical idea of the present invention Of course, other modified implementations are possible.
