- the number of vacancies in the A2 plan does not increase. This is because the number of reservations for the A2 plan has reached the number of rooms allocated for the A2 plan.
- the system control unit 14 calculates based only on the reservation history corresponding to the target plan. However, the system control unit 14 may calculate the cancellation rate based on, for example, reservation histories corresponding to all the accommodation plans provided by the accommodation facility that provides the target plan.
- FIG. 11A is a flowchart illustrating a processing example in the number-of-users score correction process of the system control unit 14 of the accommodation facility reservation server 1 according to the present embodiment.
- the system control unit 14 determines whether or not the number of users included in the selected reservation information is 1 (step S251). At this time, if the system control unit 14 determines that the number of users is not 1 (step S251: NO), it ends the number-of-users score correction process.
- step S251 when it is determined that the number of users is not 1 (step S251: YES), the system control unit 14 adds the correction value 1 stored in the storage unit 12 to the score value (step S252). That is, the system control unit 14 increases the probability that a reservation with one user is canceled.
- the system control unit 14 increases the probability that a reservation with one user is canceled.
- the number of users is one, it is more likely that the accommodation service will be used for business purposes than when the number of users is two or more. In the case of business purposes, for example, the possibility of changing the schedule for business reasons is higher than that for leisure purposes. Therefore, the possibility of being canceled is increased by changing the schedule.
- step S252 the system control unit 14 ends the user number score correction process. Note that a correction value may be stored in advance in the storage unit 12 for each number of users, and the score value may be corrected with a correction value corresponding to the number of users.
- FIG.11 (b) is a flowchart which shows the process example in the user cancellation log
- the system control unit 14 acquires a user ID from the selected reservation information, and searches the reservation history DB 1h for a reservation history including the acquired user ID. Next, the system control unit 14 acquires the number of users from the selected reservation information, and searches for a reservation history including the acquired number of users from the searched reservation history (step S261).
- the system control unit 14 calculates a past cancellation rate by the user corresponding to the acquired user ID (step S262). Specifically, the system control unit 14 calculates the total number of reservations made by the user corresponding to the user ID and the total number of canceled reservations based on the cancellation flag included in the reservation history searched in step S262. Next, the system control unit 14 calculates the cancellation rate by dividing the total number of canceled reservations by the total number of reservations.
- the system control unit 14 calculates the correction value 2 based on the calculated cancellation rate (step S263). For example, the system control unit 14 subtracts the reference value stored in the storage unit 12 from the cancellation rate, and multiplies the result by the count stored in the storage unit 12 to obtain the correction value 2. calculate.
- the system control unit 14 adds the calculated correction value 2 to the score value (step S264). That is, the system control unit 14 increases the probability that the reservation is canceled as the past cancellation rate of the user who makes the reservation is higher.
- the number of past reservations used to calculate the cancellation rate is the same as the number of current reservations. For example, whether the number of users can be used for the purpose of the accommodation service or whether it can be easily canceled. This is because there is a case where it is changed.
- the system control unit 14 may calculate the cancellation rate based on all reservation histories regardless of the number of users. After completing the process of step S264, the system control unit 14 ends the user cancellation history score correction process.
- FIG.11 (c) is a flowchart which shows the process example in the same day reservation score correction
- the system control unit 14 acquires a user ID from the selected reservation information, searches the reservation history DB 1h for a reservation history including the acquired user ID, and selects from the searched reservation histories. Reservation information in which the reservation information and the stay date overlap is searched (step S271).
- An accommodation day means each day from the check-in date to the day before the check-out date.
- step S272 determines whether or not a plurality of reservation information has been searched. At this time, if the system control unit 14 determines that a plurality of reservation information has not been searched (step S272: NO), the system reservation unit 14 ends the same day reservation score correction processing.
- step S273 the correction value 3 stored in the storage unit 12 is added to the score value (step S273). . That is, when the user corresponding to the acquired user ID makes another reservation where the reservation target plan and the stay date overlap, the system control unit 14 determines the probability that the reservation of the target plan is canceled. Make it high. This is because when a plurality of reservations are made by the same person, a plurality of accommodation plans may be reserved for the time being, and an accommodation plan to be actually used may be determined later. The system control unit 14 may increase the probability of cancellation as the number of reservations increases. When completing the process of step S273, the system control unit 14 ends the user number score correction process.
- FIG. 11D is a flowchart illustrating a processing example in the forced cancellation date score correction process of the system control unit 14 of the accommodation facility reservation server 1 according to the present embodiment.
- the system control unit 14 acquires the facility ID corresponding to the target plan ID from the accommodation plan information DB 12d, and acquires the forced cancellation days corresponding to the acquired facility ID from the accommodation facility information DB 12b (step S281).
- the system control unit 14 determines whether or not the remaining days are longer than the forced cancellation days (step S282). At this time, if the system control unit 14 determines that the remaining days are not longer than the forced cancellation days (step S282: NO), the system cancels the forced cancellation day score correction process.
- step S282 when the system control unit 14 determines that the remaining days are longer than the forced cancellation days (step S282: YES), the correction value 4 stored in the storage unit 12 is added to the primary score average value. (Step S283). In other words, the system control unit 14 increases the probability that the reservation is canceled when a forced cancellation date is included between tomorrow and the target check-in date. This is because when the forced cancellation date is reached, the reservation for which the reserved user does not satisfy the conditions is canceled. When completing the process of step S283, the system control unit 14 ends the forced cancellation date score correction process.
- FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating a processing example in the allocation increase occurrence score estimation process of the system control unit 14 of the accommodation facility reservation server 1 according to the present embodiment.
- the system control unit 14 searches the allocation number increase history DB 12j for the allocation number increase history whose registration date is included in the predetermined period from the allocation number increase history corresponding to the target plan ID (step S301). At this time, for example, the system control unit 14 may set the predetermined period to be a predetermined number of days before today, or may be between a predetermined number of days before and after the same day as the current day before the previous year.
- step S302 determines whether or not an allocation number increase history has been searched. At this time, if the system control unit 14 determines that the allocation number increase history has not been searched (step S302: NO), the system control unit 14 sets the allocation increase occurrence score to 0 (step S303). When completing this process, the system control unit 14 ends the allocation increase occurrence score estimation process.
- step S302 determines that the allocation number increase history has been searched (step S302: YES)
- the system control unit 14 calculates an allocation increase rate per day. First, the system control unit 14 sets 0 as the total increase value (step S304). Next, the system control unit 14 selects one of the searched allocation number increase histories (step S305).
- the system control unit 14 determines whether or not the increase number included in the selected allocation number increase history is equal to or less than the necessary increase number (step S306). At this time, if the system control unit 14 determines that the increase number is equal to or less than the necessary increase number (step S306: YES), the increase number included in the selected allocation number increase history is added to the increase number total value. (Step S307). On the other hand, if the system control unit 14 determines that the increase number is not less than or equal to the required increase number (step S306: NO), the system control unit 14 adds the required increase number to the total increase number (step S308). In order for the number of vacancies to reach the number of available guest rooms, the allocation of guest rooms should be increased by the required increase.
- step S308 is a process for reflecting this. Therefore, the increase in occurrence score reflects the frequency of the increase more preferentially than the number of rooms actually allocated from the accommodation facility.
- step S309 determines whether there is an allocation number increase history that has not yet been selected in the searched allocation number increase history. At this time, if it is determined that there is an allocation number increase history that has not yet been selected (step S309: YES), the system control unit 14 selects one of the allocation number increase history that has not yet been selected (step S309: YES). Step S310). Next, the system control unit 14 proceeds to step S306.
- step S309 determines that all the allocation number increase histories have been selected (step S309: NO)
- the system control unit 14 divides the total increase value by the number of days in the predetermined period used for the search in step S301.
- the allocation increase rate per day is calculated (step S311).
- the system control unit 14 acquires the allocation increase occurrence score corresponding to the allocation increase rate per day, the remaining days, and the required increase number from the allocation increase occurrence score determination table (step S312).
- the system control unit 14 ends the allocation increase occurrence score estimation process.
- the system control unit 14 determines that the reservation rate of the guest room in the accommodation facility providing the target plan is equal to or higher than a preset value (for example, 90%) and the total number of guest rooms in the accommodation facility.
- the increase occurrence score may be determined such that the smaller the ratio of the number of guest rooms currently allocated to the accommodation facility reservation site by the accommodation facility (hereinafter referred to as “allocation rate”), the higher the allocation increase occurrence score. .
- allocation rate the ratio of the number of guest rooms currently allocated to the accommodation facility reservation site by the accommodation facility
- the accommodation facility side has a high reservation rate at the accommodation facility reservation site, so there is a possibility of determining to increase the number of rooms allocated to the accommodation facility reservation site.
- the lower the allocation rate the higher the possibility that the number of rooms allocated to the accommodation facility reservation site will increase.
- a method for determining the allocation increase occurrence score in this case for example, a first allocation increase occurrence score determination table in which a case allocation increase occurrence score is stored in association with only the allocation increase rate, the remaining days, and the required increase count
- a second allocation increase occurrence score determination table in which an allocation increase occurrence score is stored in association with the rate, the remaining number of days, the required increase number, and the allocation rate is stored in the storage unit 12 in advance.
- the system control unit 14 determines the allocation increase occurrence score using the first allocation increase occurrence score determination table, and the reservation rate is equal to or greater than the preset value.
- the allocation increase occurrence score is determined using the second allocation increase occurrence score determination table.
- the total number of guest rooms of the accommodation facility can be acquired from the accommodation facility information DB 12b.
- the reservation rate calculation method may be the same as in step S53 in the vacant calendar request reception process shown in FIG.
- the system control unit 14 may determine the allocation increase occurrence score by the method described below in the allocation increase occurrence score estimation process.
- the system control unit 14 sets an initial value (for example, 0) for the allocation increase occurrence score of the target plan.
- the system control unit 14 searches the allocation number increase history DB 12j for the allocation number increase history of the target plan.
- the system control unit 14 determines the current allocation increase occurrence score as the final allocation increase occurrence score.
- the system control unit 14 adds a predetermined value (for example, 1) to the allocation increase occurrence score. Since there is a track record of increase in allocation of the target plan, the allocation increase occurrence score is raised.
- the system control unit 14 subtracts the registration date from the allocation target date included in the searched allocation number increase history, thereby calculating the required number of days from registration to the check-in date on which the number of guest rooms is increased. .
- the system control unit 14 determines whether or not the calculated required number of days is shorter than the remaining number of days from today to the target check-in date. At this time, if the system control unit 14 determines that the required number of days is not shorter than the remaining number of days, the system control unit 14 determines the current allocation increase occurrence score as the final allocation increase occurrence score. On the other hand, when the system control unit 14 determines that the required number of days is shorter than the remaining number of days, the system control unit 14 adds a predetermined value to the allocation increase occurrence score. If the required number of days is shorter than the remaining number of days, it is likely that the allocation date will become the target check-in date when the increase in the number of allocations of rooms is registered after today. Increased occurrence score is raised.
- the system control unit 14 determines whether or not the number of increases included in the searched allocation number increase history is equal to or greater than the number of guest rooms to be used. At this time, if the system control unit 14 determines that the increase number is not equal to or greater than the number of guest rooms, the system control unit 14 determines the current allocation increase occurrence score as the final allocation increase occurrence score. On the other hand, if the system control unit 14 determines that the increase number is equal to or greater than the number of guest rooms to be used, the system control unit 14 adds a predetermined value to the allocation increase occurrence score. Since the number of guest rooms in the target plan has increased more than the number of guest rooms used, the allocation increase occurrence score can be raised. The system control unit 14 determines the allocation increase occurrence score as a final allocation increase occurrence score.
- FIG. 13A is a flowchart showing a processing example in the vacancy waiting reservation request reception process of the system control unit 14 of the accommodation facility reservation server 1 according to the present embodiment.
- the user selects the reservation button 150 in the accommodation plan display area 100 of the accommodation plan that has no vacancy, and further selects to wait for cancellation.
- a Web page for inputting information necessary for making a reservation for waiting and confirming reservation contents is displayed.
- a vacancy calendar page is displayed on the user terminal 3 and the user selects the vacancy status information 232 indicating “x”, the same Web page is displayed. Therefore, when the user inputs various information and performs an operation to confirm the reservation, the user terminal 3 displays the plan ID of the accommodation plan to be reserved, the check-in date, the check-out date, the number of guest rooms, the number of users Send a waiting room reservation request that includes etc.
- the process for receiving a vacant room reservation request is started when the accommodation facility reservation server 1 receives a vacant room reservation request.
- the system control unit 14 acquires the user ID of the user terminal 3 that has transmitted the vacant room reservation request (step S401). For example, the system control unit 14 receives a user ID from the user terminal 3 based on a previous login operation by the user, and holds it by session management. Therefore, the system control unit 14 acquires a user ID corresponding to the user terminal 3 that has transmitted the vacant room reservation request from the session management.
- the system control unit 14 generates a new reservation number (step S402).
- the system control unit 14 generates vacant waiting reservation information based on the information included in the vacant waiting reservation request and the new reservation number, and stores the generated vacant waiting reservation information in the vacant waiting reservation information DB 12h. Registration is performed (step S403).
- the system control unit 14 ends the process for receiving an vacant room reservation request.
- the vacancy waiting reservation information may include vacancy waiting order information indicating the vacancy waiting order and vacancy waiting period information indicating the time limit for maintaining the vacant waiting period.
- the system control unit 14 sets the vacant waiting order information so that the vacant waiting order becomes higher as the reservation date is earlier, for example.
- the time limit for maintaining the vacant room waiting time is a time limit designated by the user who requests the vacant room waiting reservation. After this time limit has passed, the waiting for vacancy is cancelled. In other words, no reservation is made even if there are vacancies for the number of guest rooms.
- the system control unit 14 periodically determines whether or not the time limit for maintaining the vacancy waiting indicated by the vacancy waiting time limit information of each vacancy waiting reservation information registered in the vacancy waiting reservation information DB 12h has passed. Determination is made, and the vacant waiting reservation information that has expired is deleted from the vacant waiting reservation information DB 12h.
- the system control unit 14 of the vacancy waiting reservation information registered in the vacancy waiting reservation information DB 12h has the number of vacancies equal to or greater than the number of available guest rooms by the check-in date of the accommodation plan that is waiting for vacancy.
- the vacant waiting reservation information that is determined to have a probability lower than a preset threshold value may be deleted from the vacant waiting reservation information DB 12h.
- the system control unit 14 may send an e-mail notifying that the vacancy waiting has been canceled to the user corresponding to the user ID included in the deleted vacancy waiting reservation information.
- the system control unit 14 determines the probability that the number of vacancies will be equal to or greater than the number of occupancy rooms, and deletes vacant waiting reservation information.
- the vacant waiting reservation information corresponding to the accommodation plan may be performed, or each vacant waiting reservation information registered in the vacant waiting reservation information DB 12h may be periodically performed.
- the process for estimating the probability that the number of vacancies is equal to or greater than the number of available guest rooms may be the same as the vacancy occurrence score estimation process, for example.
- FIG. 13B is a flowchart showing a processing example in the processing for increasing the number of vacancies in the system control unit 14 of the accommodation facility reservation server 1 according to the present embodiment.
- the process for increasing the number of vacancies is started when the number of vacancies registered in the vacancy information DB12f for each accommodation plan increases due to, for example, cancellation of a reservation or increase in allocation of guest rooms. .
- the system control unit 14 selects from the check-in date to the day before the check-out date in the vacancy waiting reservation information corresponding to the plan ID of the accommodation plan (hereinafter referred to as “increase plan”) in which the number of vacancies has increased. Reservation information whose accommodation date overlaps with the date when the number of vacancies increased (hereinafter referred to as “increase date”) is searched from the vacant room reservation information DB 12h (step S451).
- the system control unit 14 determines whether or not vacant room reservation information has been searched (step S452). At this time, if the system control unit 14 determines that the vacant waiting reservation information has not been searched (step S452: NO), the system control unit 14 ends the process when the number of vacant rooms increases.
- step S452 determines that the vacant waiting reservation information has been searched (step S452: YES), among the searched vacant waiting reservation information, the vacant waiting reservation having the earliest reservation date and time. Information is selected (step S453).
- the vacancy waiting order information is included in the vacancy waiting reservation information, the vacant room waiting reservation information having the highest rank indicated by the vacancy waiting order information is selected.
- the system control unit 14 vacates each accommodation day from the check-in date to the day before the check-out date included in the selected vacancy waiting reservation information among the number of vacancies corresponding to the plan ID of the increase plan. It is determined whether the number of rooms is equal to or greater than the number of guest rooms included in the selected vacant room reservation information (step S454). At this time, if the system control unit 14 determines that the number of vacant rooms is not equal to or greater than the number of available guest rooms on one or more days of stay (step S454: NO), the process for increasing the number of vacant rooms is terminated.
- step S454 determines that the number of all vacancies is equal to or greater than the number of available guest rooms (step S454: YES).
- the system control unit 14 performs a process of reducing the number of vacancies (step S455). Specifically, the system control unit 14 subtracts the number of used guest rooms from the number of vacancies on each staying day of the increase plan, and adds the number of used guest rooms to the number of reservations on each staying day of the increasing plan.
- step S455 subtracts the number of available guest rooms from the number of vacant rooms on each staying day of the guest room type (hereinafter referred to as “increased guest room type”) assigned to the increase plan.
- the system control unit 14 specifies an accommodation plan other than the increase plan among the accommodation plans to which the increase guest room type is assigned.
- the system control unit 14 increases the number of vacancies when the number of vacancies on each accommodation day of the identified accommodation plan is larger than the number of vacancies of the increased guest room type. Match the number of vacancies.
- the system control unit 14 registers the selected vacant room reservation information as reservation information in the reservation information DB 12g (step S456). At this time, the system control unit 14 changes the reservation date and time to the current date and time. Next, the system control unit 14 registers a reservation history including the selected vacancy waiting reservation information and the cancel flag set to OFF in the reservation history DB 12i (step S457). Next, the system control unit 14 transmits an e-mail notifying that the reservation has been completed to the user corresponding to the user ID included in the selected vacancy waiting reservation information (step S458). Next, the system control unit 14 deletes the selected vacancy waiting reservation information from the vacancy waiting reservation information DB 12h (step S459).
- step S460 determines whether there is vacant waiting reservation information that has not yet been selected in the searched vacant waiting reservation information. At this time, if the system control unit 14 determines that there is vacant waiting reservation information that has not yet been selected (step S460: YES), the reservation date and time is the highest among the vacant waiting reservation information that has not yet been selected. The previous vacant waiting reservation information is selected (step S461). Next, the system control unit 14 proceeds to step S454. On the other hand, when it is determined that all the vacant waiting reservation information has been selected (step S460: NO), the system control unit 14 ends the processing when the number of vacant rooms increases.
- step S453 and S461 the system control unit 14 considers the number of guest rooms included in the waiting list reservation information when determining the priority order when selecting the waiting list reservation information for registering the reservation information. You may do it. Specifically, the system control unit 14 extracts, from the vacant waiting reservation information searched in step S451, vacant waiting reservation information in which the number of used guest rooms is equal to or less than the number of vacant rooms in the increase plan. Next, the system control unit 14 selects the vacancy waiting reservation information with the earliest reservation date (or the vacancy waiting reservation information with the highest rank indicated by the vacancy waiting order information) among the extracted vacancy waiting reservation information. ) Is selected.
- the system control unit 14 registers reservation information for the selected vacancy waiting reservation information, and updates the number of vacancies in the increase plan.
- the system control unit 14 repeats such processing until the number of vacancies becomes zero or it becomes impossible to extract vacant waiting reservation information in which the number of available guest rooms is equal to or less than the number of vacancies in the increase plan. .
- the system control unit 14 of the accommodation facility reservation server 1 obtains the number of vacancies in the accommodation plan according to the user's request from the accommodation plan vacancy information DB 12f, From the reservation history DB 12i or the allocation number increase history DB 12j, the reservation history of the accommodation plan or the allocation number increase history according to the user's request is acquired, and based on the acquired history, the empty accommodation plan according to the user's request is empty. Estimating the probability that the number of vacancies in the accommodation plan will be greater than or equal to the threshold by the check-in date of the accommodation plan whose number of rooms is less than the threshold, and the accommodation according to the user's request in the display mode according to the estimated probability Provide information about the plan. Therefore, it is possible to improve convenience when the user considers the reservation.
- the system control unit 14 estimates the probability that the number of vacancies in the accommodation plan in which the obtained number of vacancies is less than the number of available guest rooms will be equal to or greater than the number of used guest rooms by the check-in date, and responds to the user's request Among the accommodation plans, information on an accommodation plan having an estimated probability equal to or higher than a preset value is provided. Therefore, the user can avoid booking an accommodation plan with a low probability that the number of vacancies will be equal to or greater than the threshold.
- the system control unit 14 estimates the probability that the number of vacancies in the accommodation plan will be 1 or more by the check-in date of the accommodation plan in which the obtained number of vacancies is less than 1, and responds to the user's request
- the vacancy occurrence possibility information indicating the estimated probability is provided in association with the information regarding the accommodation plan. Therefore, the user can consider whether or not to wait until the number of vacancies becomes equal to or greater than the threshold based on the vacancy occurrence possibility information.
- the system control unit 14 provides the number of vacancies and the number of allocated rooms of the entire accommodation plan allocated to the accommodation facility reservation site by the accommodation facility that provides the accommodation plan whose number of vacancies is less than the threshold value.
- the overall reservation rate in the accommodation facility is less than a preset value among the accommodation plans according to the user's request based on the acquired number of vacancies and allocated number of guest rooms. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the vacancy occurrence possibility information from being displayed for an accommodation plan provided by an accommodation facility whose overall reservation rate of the provided accommodation plan does not require an increase in the number of reservations.
- the system control unit 14 acquires the forced cancellation days corresponding to the accommodation plan whose vacancy is less than the threshold from the accommodation facility information DB 12b, and the remaining until the check-in date of the accommodation plan whose vacancy is less than the threshold.
- the probability that the number of vacancies in the accommodation plan existing on the forced cancellation date before the check-in date is equal to or higher than the threshold is estimated to be high, it is possible to improve the estimation accuracy of the probability that the number of vacant rooms is equal to or higher than the threshold.
- the system control unit 14 acquires the reservation information of the accommodation plan whose number of vacancies is less than the threshold from the reservation information DB 12g, the number of users included in the acquired reservation information is a preset number of people. Estimates a higher probability than when the number of users is not a preset number. Therefore, the number of vacancies is greater than or equal to the threshold when the reservation person who is currently booking an accommodation plan whose number of vacancies is less than the threshold varies depending on the number of people who use the accommodation plan.
- the system control unit 14 acquires the user ID included in the reservation information of the accommodation plan whose number of vacancies is less than the threshold from the reservation information DB 12g, and reserves the reservation history of the user identified by the acquired user ID Based on the acquired reservation history acquired from the history DB 12i, a higher probability is estimated as the reservation cancellation rate of a user who has reserved an accommodation plan whose vacancy number is less than the threshold is higher. Therefore, the estimation accuracy of the probability that the number of vacancies is equal to or greater than the threshold can be increased.
- the system control unit 14 acquires the user ID included in the reservation information of the accommodation plan whose number of vacancies is less than the threshold from the reservation information DB 12g, and among the reservation information including the acquired user ID, the number of vacancies
- the reservation information of the other accommodation plan where the accommodation date overlaps with the accommodation plan whose is less than the threshold value is registered in the reservation information DB 12g, a higher probability is estimated than when the reservation information is not registered. Therefore, the estimation accuracy of the probability that the number of vacancies is equal to or greater than the threshold can be increased.
- the accommodation facility reservation server 1 uses an empty plan based on both the history of cancellation of the accommodation plan based on the reservation history and the history of increase in the number of allocated rooms in the accommodation plan based on the allocation number increase history. Although the probability that the number of rooms is equal to or greater than the threshold has been estimated, it may be estimated based on one of the histories.
