 図5は、本発明の実施形態に係るサービス提供者端末3で出力される特典設定画面G3の一例を示す図である。図5に示す特典設定画面G3には、図4に示す予約管理画面G1から遷移してもよい。例えば、予約管理画面G1において、サービス提供者が自身の指等で所定の期間押下(長押し)することにより、所定の時間帯をサービス提供者が選択する場合に、当該所定の時間帯(例えば、図4に示す2018年4月28日の11:00-15:30の時間帯T1)に対して特典を設定するための特典設定画面G3がサービス提供者端末3において出力される。 FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the privilege setting screen G3 output from the service provider terminal 3 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The privilege setting screen G3 shown in FIG. 5 may transition from the reservation management screen G1 shown in FIG. For example, in the reservation management screen G1, when the service provider selects a predetermined time zone by pressing (long pressing) for a predetermined period with his / her finger or the like, the predetermined time zone (for example, , A privilege setting screen G3 for setting a privilege for the time zone T1 of April 28, 2018 shown in FIG. 4 at 11: 00-15: 30 is output on the service provider terminal 3.
 図5に示すように、特典設定画面G3において、サービス提供者が、予約管理画面G1において選択された時間帯に対して、サービスの提供に対する支払額の割引、及び、サービスを提供する際に当該サービスとは異なるサービスの追加提供の少なくとも一方を登録する。具体的に、サービスの提供に対する支払額の割引は、例えば、支払予定額から15%割引が実施されること、又は、支払予定額から1000円割引が実施されること等を含む。サービスを提供する際に当該サービスとは異なるサービスの追加提供とは、例えば、美容師によりヘアカットのサービスが提供される際に、ヘッドスパが無料でユーザに提供されること等を含む。なお、特典は、予約可能時間帯として登録されていない時間帯であっても登録可能である。 As shown in FIG. 5, in the privilege setting screen G3, when the service provider provides the discount of the payment amount for providing the service and the service for the time zone selected on the reservation management screen G1. Register at least one of the additional provisions of services different from the services. Specifically, the discount of the payment amount for providing the service includes, for example, a 15% discount from the planned payment amount or a 1,000 yen discount from the planned payment amount. Additional provision of a service different from the service when the service is provided includes, for example, that the head spa is provided to the user free of charge when a haircut service is provided by a hairdresser. The privilege can be registered even in a time zone that is not registered as a reservation available time zone.
 サービス提供者端末3において、時間帯T1において特典が登録されると、動画コンテンツ配信サーバ1に対して特典が登録された旨の登録情報が送信される。図2に示す動画コンテンツ配信サーバ1の特典設定部117は、時間帯T1に対して特典を設定する。そして、図2に示す動画コンテンツ配信サーバ1の出力情報生成部115は、特典が設定された時間帯が、特典が設定されていない時間帯とは異なる表示形態となるような予約管理画面G1を出力するための出力情報を生成する。例えば、図4に示す予約管理画面G1において、特典が設定された時間帯T1には、「特典あり」というテキスト情報が重畳表示され、特典が設定されていない時間帯には、このようなテキスト情報は表示されない。 When the privilege is registered in the service provider terminal 3 in the time zone T1, registration information indicating that the privilege is registered is transmitted to the video content distribution server 1. The privilege setting unit 117 of the moving image content distribution server 1 shown in FIG. 2 sets a privilege for the time zone T1. Then, the output information generation unit 115 of the video content distribution server 1 shown in FIG. 2 displays the reservation management screen G1 in which the time zone in which the privilege is set is different from the time zone in which the privilege is not set. Generate output information for output. For example, in the reservation management screen G1 shown in FIG. 4, the text information “with privilege” is superimposed and displayed in the time zone T1 in which the privilege is set, and such text is displayed in the time zone in which the privilege is not set. Information is not displayed.
 この構成によれば、特典が設定された時間帯が、特典が設定されていない時間帯とは異なる表示形態となるような画面が出力されるので、特典が設定された時間帯を容易に把握することができる。 According to this configuration, since the screen in which the time zone in which the privilege is set is displayed differently from the time zone in which the privilege is not set is output, the time zone in which the privilege is set can be easily grasped. can do.
 また、上記説明した特典の設定処理と同様に、図2に示す動画コンテンツ配信サーバ1のオークション設定部119は、サービス提供者がサービスを提供可能な一又は複数の時間帯の少なくとも一部の時間帯をオークション形式で選択可能に設定する。 Similarly to the privilege setting process described above, the auction setting unit 119 of the video content distribution server 1 illustrated in FIG. 2 is configured to at least part of one or more time periods during which the service provider can provide the service. Set the band to be selectable in an auction format.
 例えば、所定の時間帯がオークション形式で選択可能に設定されると、図2に示す動画コンテンツ配信サーバ1の出力情報生成部115は、オークションが設定された時間帯が、オークションが設定されていない時間帯とは異なる表示形態となるような予約管理画面G1を出力するための出力情報を生成してもよい。例えば、図4に示す予約管理画面G1において、不図示であるが、オークションが設定された時間帯には、「オークション中」というテキスト情報が重畳表示され、オークションが設定されていない時間帯には、このようなテキスト情報は表示されないようにしてもよい。 For example, when a predetermined time zone is set to be selectable in the auction format, the output information generation unit 115 of the moving image content distribution server 1 shown in FIG. 2 does not set the auction for the time zone for which the auction is set. Output information for outputting the reservation management screen G1 that has a display form different from the time zone may be generated. For example, in the reservation management screen G1 shown in FIG. 4, although not shown, the text information “Auction is in progress” is superimposed on the time zone in which the auction is set, and in the time zone in which the auction is not set. Such text information may not be displayed.
 この構成によれば、オークションが設定された時間帯が、オークションが設定されていない時間帯とは異なる表示形態となるような画面が出力されるので、オークションが設定された時間帯を容易に把握することができる。 According to this configuration, since a screen is displayed in which the time zone in which the auction is set differs from the time zone in which the auction is not set, the time zone in which the auction is set can be easily grasped. can do.
 また、予約可能時間帯の設定、特典の設定、及びオークションの設定等が行われる場合は、ユーザ端末5にその事実が通知されてもよい。例えば、図2に示す出力情報生成部115は、サービス提供者がサービスを提供可能な一又は複数の時間帯の少なくとも一部の時間帯に対して、特典が設定されたこと、又は、サービス提供者がサービスを提供可能な一又は複数の時間帯の少なくとも一部の時間帯がオークション形式で選択可能に設定されたことの少なくとも一方を示す通知情報を図1に示すユーザ端末5において出力するための出力情報を生成する。また、出力情報生成部115は、予約可能時間帯の設定が行われたことを示す通知情報をユーザ端末5において出力するための出力情報を生成してもよい。 In addition, when setting of a reservable time zone, setting of a privilege, setting of an auction, or the like is performed, the fact may be notified to the user terminal 5. For example, the output information generation unit 115 illustrated in FIG. 2 has a privilege set for at least a part of one or a plurality of time zones in which the service provider can provide the service, or the service provision To output notification information indicating at least one of the time zones in which one or more of the time zones in which the service can be provided is selectable in the auction format at the user terminal 5 shown in FIG. Generate output information. In addition, the output information generation unit 115 may generate output information for outputting, at the user terminal 5, notification information indicating that the reservation available time zone has been set.
 なお、予約可能時間帯の設定、特典の設定、及びオークションの設定等は任意のタイミングで変更可能である。予約可能時間帯の設定、特典の設定、及びオークションの設定等の少なくとも一つが変更された場合は、リアルタイムに、又は、定期的にサービス提供者端末3及びユーザ端末5の少なくとも一方に通知されてもよい。 It should be noted that reservation time zone setting, privilege setting, auction setting, etc. can be changed at any time. When at least one of the setting of the reservation time zone, the setting of the privilege, the setting of the auction, etc. is changed, it is notified to at least one of the service provider terminal 3 and the user terminal 5 in real time or periodically. Also good.

For example, when the user performs an operation (for example, swipe) such that the user's finger touches the screen on the menu reservation screen G11A, the menu reservation screen G11B is output as the current menu reservation screen G11A. It may be configured to move to a position. The menu reservation screen G11A is a cut menu reservation screen, and the menu reservation screen G11B is a color menu reservation screen. However, the menu reservation screen is not limited to this, and other reservations such as a permanent menu reservation screen, for example. A screen may be output. The “reservation screen” includes at least one of a menu reservation screen and a time slot reservation screen.
 なお、メニュー予約画面G11A,G11B、及び、時間帯予約画面G13の出力形態は上記に限られず、メニュー予約画面G11A,G11B、及び、時間帯予約画面G13の少なくとも一方が動画コンテンツ再生画面G9に重畳しないように出力されてもよい。例えば、動画コンテンツ再生画面G9が表示部における下半分にのみ表示され、メニュー予約画面G11A,G11B、及び、時間帯予約画面G13の少なくとも一方が表示部における上半分に表示されてもよい。 The output forms of the menu reservation screens G11A, G11B and the time slot reservation screen G13 are not limited to the above, and at least one of the menu reservation screens G11A, G11B and the time slot reservation screen G13 is superimposed on the moving image content playback screen G9. It may be output so as not to. For example, the moving image content reproduction screen G9 may be displayed only in the lower half of the display unit, and at least one of the menu reservation screens G11A and G11B and the time zone reservation screen G13 may be displayed in the upper half of the display unit.
 この構成によれば、動画コンテンツ再生画面が、メニュー予約画面及び時間帯予約画面の少なくとも一方によって覆われてしまい、動画コンテンツ再生画面が見づらくなってしまうことを防止することができるので、動画コンテンツ再生画面を確認し易くなる。 According to this configuration, it is possible to prevent the video content playback screen from being covered with at least one of the menu reservation screen and the time slot reservation screen and making the video content playback screen difficult to see. It becomes easy to confirm the screen.
 (ステップS21,23)
 図3に戻り、ユーザ端末5においてユーザが図8に示すような予約画面を操作し、所望の予約手続を行うと、図9に示す予約申込確認画面G17が出力される。
(Steps S21, 23)
Returning to FIG. 3, when the user operates the reservation screen as shown in FIG. 8 and performs a desired reservation procedure at the user terminal 5, a reservation application confirmation screen G17 shown in FIG. 9 is output.
 図9は、本発明の実施形態に係るユーザ端末5において動画コンテンツ再生画面G15とともに予約申込確認画面G17が出力されている例を示す図である。ユーザが、図9に示す予約申込確定ボタンB11を押下すると、ユーザ端末5は、予約申込を行う旨を示す情報を動画コンテンツ配信サーバ1に送信する。 FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example in which the reservation application confirmation screen G17 is output together with the moving image content reproduction screen G15 in the user terminal 5 according to the embodiment of the present invention. When the user presses the reservation application confirmation button B11 shown in FIG. 9, the user terminal 5 transmits information indicating that the reservation application is made to the video content distribution server 1.
 (ステップS25,27)
 図2に示す動画コンテンツ配信サーバ1の出力情報生成部115は、図8に示す予約画面においてサービス提供者がサービスを提供可能な一又は複数の時間帯の少なくとも一部の時間帯が選択される場合、サービス提供者が、選択された時間帯においてサービスを提供可能か否か回答するための回答画面を動画コンテンツとともにサービス提供者端末3において出力するための出力情報を生成する。そして、動画コンテンツ配信サーバ1は、生成された出力情報をサービス提供者端末3に送信する。サービス提供者端末3は、出力情報を受信すると、回答画面を動画コンテンツとともに出力する。
(Steps S25, 27)
The output information generation unit 115 of the video content distribution server 1 shown in FIG. 2 selects at least a part of one or more time zones in which the service provider can provide the service on the reservation screen shown in FIG. In this case, the service provider generates output information for outputting at the service provider terminal 3 an answer screen for answering whether or not the service can be provided in the selected time zone together with the moving image content. Then, the moving image content distribution server 1 transmits the generated output information to the service provider terminal 3. When receiving the output information, the service provider terminal 3 outputs an answer screen together with the moving image content.
 図10は、本発明の実施形態に係るサービス提供者端末3において回答画面G21が出力されている例を示す図である。図10に示すように、サービス提供者端末3において、サービス提供者が、ユーザにより選択された時間帯においてサービスを提供可能か否か回答するための回答画面G21A,G21Bが動画コンテンツ再生画面G19に重畳するように出力されている。 FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example in which the answer screen G21 is output in the service provider terminal 3 according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 10, in the service provider terminal 3, answer screens G21A and G21B for answering whether or not the service provider can provide the service in the time zone selected by the user are displayed on the video content playback screen G19. The output is superimposed.
 また、図2に示す出力情報生成部115は、サービス提供者がサービスを提供可能な時間帯として複数の時間帯が選択される場合、サービス提供者が、選択された複数の時間帯のそれぞれにおいてサービスを提供可能か否か回答するための複数の回答画面を、選択された順番がわかるようにサービス提供者端末において出力するための出力情報を生成する。例えば、回答画面G21Aに対応する「まきさん」の予約申し込みは、回答画面G21Bに対応する「あいりさん」の予約申し込みよりも先に実施されているため、回答画面G21Aは、回答画面G21Bに比べて画面の中央部に(優先的に)出力されている。 In addition, the output information generation unit 115 illustrated in FIG. 2 may be configured such that, when a plurality of time zones are selected as a time zone in which the service provider can provide a service, the service provider can select each of the selected plurality of time zones. Output information for outputting a plurality of answer screens for answering whether or not the service can be provided at the service provider terminal so that the selected order can be understood. For example, since the reservation application for “Maki-san” corresponding to the reply screen G21A is executed before the reservation application for “Airi-san” corresponding to the reply screen G21B, the reply screen G21A is compared with the reply screen G21B. Is output (priority) to the center of the screen.
 図11は、本発明の実施形態に係るサービス提供者端末3において回答結果画面G23が出力されている例を示す図である。サービス提供者が、図10における回答画面G21Aにおける承諾ボタンB13を押下すると、図11に示すように、動画コンテンツ再生画面G19に重畳するように、「まきさん」の申し込みを承諾したことを示す回答結果画面G23が出力される。 FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example in which the answer result screen G23 is output in the service provider terminal 3 according to the embodiment of the present invention. When the service provider presses the accept button B13 on the answer screen G21A in FIG. 10, as shown in FIG. 11, a reply indicating that the application for “Maki-san” has been accepted so as to be superimposed on the video content playback screen G19. The result screen G23 is output.
 図12は、図10に示す回答画面G21Aにおける各ボタンのいずれかが押下された場合の図である。回答画面G21Aにおける各ボタンのいずれかが押下されると、図12に示すように、回答画面G21Aが画面の左側にスライドし、その代わりに回答画面G12Bが画面の中央にくるように制御されてもよい。 FIG. 12 is a view when any of the buttons on the answer screen G21A shown in FIG. 10 is pressed. When any of the buttons on the answer screen G21A is pressed, as shown in FIG. 12, the answer screen G21A slides to the left side of the screen, and instead, the answer screen G12B is controlled to be at the center of the screen. Also good.
 この構成によれば、回答をするたびに自動的に回答画面がスライドするので、次に回答すべき予約申込の内容を円滑に確認できる。 This configuration automatically slides the answer screen each time an answer is made, so that the contents of the reservation application to be answered next can be confirmed smoothly.
 なお、図10における回答画面G21A,G21Bは、ユーザの操作によって、動画コンテンツ再生画面G19における出力位置が変更されてもよい。例えば、ユーザが回答画面G21Aにおいてユーザの指が画面に接した状態で当該指を左方向にこするような操作(例えばスワイプ)を行うと、回答画面G21Bが、現在の回答画面G21Aが出力されている位置にスライドするように構成されてもよい。 In the reply screens G21A and G21B in FIG. 10, the output position on the video content playback screen G19 may be changed by a user operation. For example, when the user performs an operation (for example, swipe) in which the user's finger is in contact with the screen on the answer screen G21A, the answer screen G21B is output as the current answer screen G21A. It may be configured to slide to a position.
 また、図10に示す回答画面G21A,G21Bの出力形態は上記に限られず、回答画面G21A,G21Bの少なくとも一方が動画コンテンツ再生画面G19に重畳しないように出力されてもよい。例えば、動画コンテンツ再生画面G19が表示部における下半分にのみ表示され、回答画面G21A,G21Bの少なくとも一方が表示部における上半分に表示されてもよい。 Further, the output form of the answer screens G21A and G21B shown in FIG. 10 is not limited to the above, and it may be output so that at least one of the answer screens G21A and G21B is not superimposed on the video content playback screen G19. For example, the moving image content reproduction screen G19 may be displayed only in the lower half of the display unit, and at least one of the answer screens G21A and G21B may be displayed in the upper half of the display unit.
 この構成によれば、動画コンテンツ再生画面が、回答画面によって覆われてしまうことを防止することができるので、動画コンテンツ再生画面を確認し易くなる。 According to this configuration, it is possible to prevent the moving image content reproduction screen from being covered with the answer screen, so that the moving image content reproduction screen can be easily confirmed.
 (ステップS29)
 図3に戻り、サービス提供者端末3は、サービス動画コンテンツ配信サーバ1を介して、各ユーザ端末5a,5nに対して予約申込の回答結果を送信する。例えば、サービス提供者が、「承諾」又は「却下」を選択するとその旨を示す回答をユーザ端末5a,5nに送信する。また、サービス提供者が、「保留」を選択するとその旨を示す回答を送信してもよいし、回答を送信しないようにしてもよい。
(Step S29)
Returning to FIG. 3, the service provider terminal 3 transmits a response result of the reservation application to the user terminals 5 a and 5 n via the service moving image content distribution server 1. For example, when the service provider selects “accept” or “reject”, an answer indicating that is transmitted to the user terminals 5a and 5n. Further, when the service provider selects “hold”, an answer indicating that may be sent, or an answer may not be sent.
 以上、本発明の実施形態によれば、サービス提供者がサービスを提供可能な一又は複数の時間帯の少なくとも一部の時間帯を予約するための予約画面を、予約可能なサービスを提供するサービス提供者の動画コンテンツとともにユーザ端末5において出力するための出力情報を生成する。よって、ユーザは、予約可能なサービスを提供するサービス提供者の動画コンテンツを再生しながらサービスを予約することができるので、サービス提供者が提供するサービスを予約する際の利便性が高まる。また、ユーザに対して、予約可能なサービスを提供するサービス提供者の動画コンテンツを再生しながらサービスを予約させることができるので、サービス提供者にとっては、ユーザに対して予約申込を効果的に促すことができる。 As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, a service that provides a service that can reserve a reservation screen for reserving at least a part of one or more time zones in which the service provider can provide the service. Output information to be output at the user terminal 5 together with the video content of the provider is generated. Therefore, the user can reserve the service while reproducing the moving image content of the service provider that provides the service that can be reserved, so that the convenience for reserving the service provided by the service provider is enhanced. In addition, since the service can be reserved while reproducing the moving image content of the service provider that provides the service that can be reserved, the service provider effectively prompts the user to make a reservation application. be able to.
