Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that this is merely an example, and the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to this.

<Overall configuration>
FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing an outline of a stadium seat sharing system according to the present embodiment.
The stadium seat sharing system 1 makes it possible to share a certain seat of the stadium during the same competition by dividing a time zone to be used.

The stadium seat sharing server 10 included in the stadium seat sharing system 1 sells tickets for the game before the start of the game to be played in the stadium, for example. This ticket is associated with a stadium seat and a scheduled game time (available time of the seat by the ticket), and is sold at a predetermined sales price (fixed price).

In the example shown in FIG. 1, the ticket is associated with the seat ID 1 and the scheduled game time from 18:00 to 21:00, and is purchased by the user A for 2000 yen.
Here, the user A who purchased the ticket may not be able to watch the game until 21:00, which is the expected game end time, and may know in advance the time required to return from the stadium.
In such a case, in the stadium seat sharing system 1, the user A transmits information indicating the time to return and information indicating the seat ID 1 to the stadium seat sharing server 10.

The stadium seat sharing server 10 registers a time when the user A returns (a time when the seat ID 1 is not used) for the seat ID 1. Then, the stadium seat sharing server 10 calculates the remaining time of the game according to the registered time.
In addition, the stadium seat sharing server 10 determines the sales amount of the resale ticket associated with the seat ID 1 that is not used by the user A according to the calculated remaining time of the game.

In the example shown in FIG. 1, the time at which the user A returns is 19:20, and the scheduled time at which the match ends is 21:00. In such a case, the stadium seat sharing server 10 adds 10 minutes as a spare time to the time when the user A returns, and calculates 1 hour and 30 minutes as the remaining time of the game.
Also, the stadium seat sharing server 10 calculates the remaining time of the calculated game as 1 hour and 30 minutes, which is half of the total game time of 3 hours, and therefore calculates the sales amount of the resale ticket associated with the seat ID 1 as the ticket sales amount. It is decided to be 1000 yen, which is half of 2000 yen.

Then, the stadium seat sharing server 10 sells the resale ticket for the determined amount. In this resale ticket, the seats of the stadium are associated with the available time of the seats by the tickets, and are sold at the determined sale price.

In the example shown in FIG. 1, the resale ticket is associated with the seat ID 1 and the usable time of the seat ID 1 from 19:30 to 21:00, and is purchased by the user B for 1,000 yen.

In this manner, the stadium seat sharing server 10 of the stadium seat sharing system 1, when a user who purchases a ticket for a certain seat returns in the middle of a match, sells the ticket according to the remaining time of the match. A resale ticket for using the seat can be sold. Then, another user who has purchased the resale ticket can use the seat that is no longer used during the match.
Therefore, the seats of the stadium can be shared by a plurality of users.

<Functional configuration>
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the stadium seat sharing system of the present embodiment.
The stadium seat sharing system 1 includes a stadium seat sharing server 10 and a plurality of user terminals 20 connected to the stadium seat sharing server 10 via a network.

(Stadium seat sharing server 10)
The stadium seat sharing server 10 includes a processor, a memory, a storage, and a communication unit (not shown), which are connected by a bus. The processor is configured by, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), performs various processes by reading and executing various programs stored in a memory, and functions as each unit described below. The memory stores a program executed by the CPU, and includes, for example, a ROM (Read Only Memory) and a RAM (Random Access Memory). The storage stores a database and a control program (not shown) described later. The communication unit performs data communication with a plurality of user terminals 20 via a network.
The stadium seat sharing server 10 includes a sales unit 11, a registration unit 12, a calculation unit 13, a determination unit 14, a return unit 15, a notification unit 16, and a ticket information database (DB) 100. .

The selling means 11 refers to the ticket information table stored in the ticket information DB 100 and sells the ticket including the competition information and the available seat time. In the present embodiment, the “competition information” includes the content of the competition (for example, information indicating that the game is a soccer match between team A and team B), a stadium name, and the like. The “seat available time” is the time during which the seat of the stadium can be used by the ticket. For example, the available seating time of a normal ticket sold before the start of a match is from the start time of the match to the scheduled end time of the match. On the other hand, the available seating time of the resale ticket sold after the start of the game is the estimated time to end the game from the time obtained by adding the spare time to the time at which the user who purchased the ticket returns. Each ticket is associated with a seat ID of each seat in the stadium.

The selling means 11 sells ordinary tickets sold before the start of the game at a preset sales price, and sells resale tickets sold after the game starts at the sales price determined by the determining means 14 described later. Sell tickets.

Specifically, the selling means 11 publishes the competition information of the ticket and the sales amount of the ticket on, for example, a Web page for selling the ticket, and receives information indicating the intention of purchase from the user on the Web page. In this case, after the settlement with the sale price, the ticket information in which the competition information, the information indicating the seat available time, and the seat ID are associated with the ticket identification information is transmitted to the user terminal 20 of the user.

The ticket information DB 100 is an example of a storage unit, and stores a ticket information table and a resale table.
FIG. 3 is a diagram schematically showing the ticket information table.
The ticket information table includes ticket identification information for identifying a ticket to be sold, competition information, available seat time, sales amount, seat ID, and time when the user who purchased the ticket returns from the stadium ("-" in FIG. This indicates that the time to return is not registered.) The ticket type (normal or resale) and the like are stored in the ticket information DB 100 in association with each other. The resale table will be described later.

Returning to FIG. 2, the registration unit 12 receives, from the user terminal 20, information indicating a time at which a user who purchased a ticket of a game played at the stadium returns from the stadium, together with ticket identification information of the ticket, and receives the information. The returned time is registered in the ticket information table stored in the ticket information DB 100 in association with the received ticket identification information. Further, when registering the time to return, the registration unit 12 generates new ticket identification information derived from the received ticket identification information, and sets the new ticket identification information as the ticket type “resale” in the ticket information table ( (See FIG. 3). Further, the registration unit 12 associates the new ticket identification information with the same seat ID as the derivation source ticket identification information in the ticket information table (see FIG. 3). The registration unit 12 can register the time at which the user returns before or during the match.

The calculation means 13 calculates the remaining time of the game according to the time at which the user who purchased the ticket returns from the stadium registered in the ticket information table by the registration means 12. In detail, the calculation means 13 subtracts the time when the user who purchased the ticket returns from the stadium or the time obtained by adding a spare time (for example, 10 minutes) to the time to return from the scheduled end time of the game. Then calculate the remaining time of the match. Further, the calculating means 13 sets the ticket end time to the new ticket identification information of the ticket type “resale” registered by the registering means 12 from the time obtained by adding the spare time to the time to return, as the seat available time. Register in the information table (see FIG. 3).

計算 Further, the calculating means 13 predicts the end time of the game, and calculates the remaining time of the game based on the predicted end time. When the game is, for example, a game of baseball or rugby, the game time fluctuates. In such a case, the calculating means 13 predicts the end time of the game by AI. For example, the calculation means 13 has already machine-learned the correlation between the point difference at a certain point in the game, the progress of the game (for example, how many attacks in baseball, which attack, etc.) and the end time of the game. The model calculates the expected end time of the game at a certain point in time. The “certain time” may be an arbitrary time during the match, for example, a time when the receiving unit 15 receives the re-lock information, or at a predetermined interval (for example, every 10 minutes). The algorithm in the machine-learned model can use supervised learning, but other well-known algorithms for machine learning may use various known algorithms.

The deciding unit 14 decides the selling price of the resale ticket associated with the seat that is not used by the user according to the remaining time of the game calculated by the calculating unit 13. In detail, the determination unit 14 refers to a resale table stored in the ticket information DB 100 described later, and refers to the end time of the game predicted by the calculation unit 13 or the end time of the scheduled game (the game time is determined in advance. The sales price of the resale ticket (the ticket of the ticket type “resale”) is determined based on the set match (for example, the end time of the soccer match). The deciding unit 14 registers the new ticket identification information of the ticket type “resale” registered by the registering unit 12 in the ticket information table (see FIG. 3) in association with the decided sales amount.

FIG. 4 is a diagram schematically showing a resale table.
The resale table shows the resale discount rate as the elapsed time ratio (elapsed time (elapsed time of the game at the time of adding the spare time to the time when the user returns) / total time of expected (planned) game × 100) (%). (Ratio reduced by resale ticket to sales amount of regular ticket sold before game) (%) is associated. Note that the elapsed time ratio is not limited to the elapsed time of the game at the time obtained by adding the preliminary time to the time at which the user returns, and may be changed, for example, according to the actual elapsed time. In this case, the sales amount of the resale ticket becomes lower as the elapsed time becomes longer (the remaining time of the game becomes shorter).

In the example shown in FIG. 4, for example, the normal ticket sales amount is 2,000 yen, and the calculation means 13 predicts that the end time of the game is two hours after the start time of the game, and the time when the user returns. A case will be described where the time obtained by adding the preliminary time has elapsed 30 minutes (elapsed time ratio: 25%) from the start time of the game.
In this case, since the elapsed time ratio is not less than 20% and less than 40%, the determination means 14 sets the resale discount rate to 40%, and reduces 800 yen obtained by multiplying the sales amount of the ticket before the game by 2000 to 0.4 by 800. And the selling price of the resale ticket is determined to be 1200 (2000-800) yen.

Returning to FIG. 2, when the resale ticket is purchased, the return means 15 returns a predetermined percentage of the sales amount of the resale ticket to a user who has purchased a normal ticket from which the resale ticket is derived. Alternatively, the return unit 15 returns a predetermined amount of money when the time at which the user returns is registered in the registration unit 12.

{Specifically, when the resale ticket is purchased for 1200 yen, the return means 15 returns 50% (600 yen) as a predetermined ratio, for example. Alternatively, the return unit 15 uniformly returns, for example, 500 yen when the time at which the user returns is registered in the registration unit 12. Note that the return unit 15 may return a predetermined amount when the time when the user returns is registered, and may return a predetermined ratio of the sales amount of the resale ticket when the resale ticket is purchased.

The return means 15 can return the determined amount to the user by an arbitrary method. For example, it is possible to issue a coupon (equivalent to the determined amount) that can be used at the time of purchasing a ticket next time, or remit a virtual currency or a real currency to a user's designated account or the like.

The notifying unit 16 notifies that the selling unit 11 sells the resale ticket at the sales amount determined by the determining unit 14. In detail, the notification unit 16 transmits resale information indicating the ticket information of the resale ticket and the sales amount determined by the determination unit 14 to a pre-registered user's e-mail address, SNS (Social Networking Service) ). In the seat availability system 1, when the position information of the user terminal 20 is received from the user terminal 20, the resale information is transmitted to the user terminal 20 located in a predetermined range centering on the stadium. Is also good. The “predetermined range” may be a preset range (for example, within a circle having a radius of 1000 m), or a range corresponding to the elapsed time ratio (for example, a radius of 1000 m if the elapsed time ratio is 20% or more and less than 40%). And if the elapsed time ratio is 60% or more and less than 80%, it may be within a circle having a radius of 100 m).

(User terminal 20)
The user terminal 20 includes the same hardware as the stadium seat sharing server 10, but in particular, a device (for example, a mobile terminal, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a personal computer, a game device) that can be connected to a network suitable for each user. Etc.).
The user terminal 20 includes a user terminal control unit 21, an input / output unit 22, a transmission / reception unit 23, and a position information acquisition unit 24.

(4) The user terminal control means 21 controls the entire user terminal 20. The input / output unit 22 is configured by, for example, a touch panel, receives a user operation, and displays various information under the control of the user terminal control unit 21. The transmission / reception unit 23 communicates with the stadium seat sharing server 10 via a network under the control of the user terminal control unit 21. The position information acquisition unit 24 is configured by a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver, and acquires position information under the control of the user terminal control unit 21.

In this embodiment, the user terminal 20 operated by the user who has purchased the normal ticket is controlled by the user terminal control means 21 based on the user's operation on the input / output means 22 and the transmission / reception means 23 transmits the ticket of the normal ticket. The information is received, and information indicating the time at which the user returns from the stadium is transmitted to the stadium seat sharing server 10 together with the ticket identification information of the ticket. Further, the user terminal 20 operated by the user who has purchased the resale ticket receives the ticket information of the resale ticket by the transmission / reception means 23 based on the user's operation on the input / output means 22 under the control of the user terminal control means 21. .

<Ticket resale processing>
Next, an example of stadium seat sharing processing by the stadium seat sharing system 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a stadium seat sharing process according to the present embodiment.
In the stadium seat sharing system 1, when a user who has purchased a normal ticket returns in the middle of a match, the user terminal 20 transmits information indicating a time to return from the stadium to the stadium seat sharing server 10. . Thereafter, the stadium seat sharing server 10 of the seat available system 1 executes a ticket resale process.

In step S1, the registration unit 12 receives, from the user terminal 20, information indicating a time at which a user who has purchased a ticket for a game played at the stadium returns from the stadium, together with the ticket identification information of the ticket, and receives the return. The time is registered in the ticket information table stored in the ticket information DB 100 in association with the received ticket identification information.

In step S2, the calculating means 13 calculates the remaining time of the game according to the time at which the user who purchased the ticket returns from the stadium registered in the ticket information table by the registration means 12 in step S1.

In step S3, the determining means 14 determines the sales amount of the resale ticket associated with the seat that will be unused by the user, according to the remaining time of the game calculated by the calculating means 13 in step S2.

In step S4, the selling means 11 sells the resale ticket at the sales amount determined by the determining means 14 in step S3.

In step S5, the notification unit 16 notifies the sales unit 11 that the resale ticket is sold at the sales amount determined by the determination unit 14.

In step S6, the selling means 11 determines whether or not the resale ticket sold in step S4 has been purchased by the user. If it is determined that the ticket has been purchased, the process proceeds to step S7, where it is determined that the ticket has not been purchased. If so, the process returns to step S5.

In step S7, when the resale ticket sold by the sales means 11 in step S4 is purchased, the return means 15 gives the user who purchased the normal ticket from which the resale ticket is derived the sales price of the resale ticket. Reduce a predetermined percentage.

<Effect>
According to the embodiment described above, the stadium seat sharing server 10 of the stadium seat sharing system 1 responds to the remaining time of the game when the user who purchased the ticket of a certain seat returns in the middle of the game. At the sale price, a resale ticket to use the seat can be sold. Then, another user who has purchased the resale ticket can use the seat that has been unused during the match.
Therefore, the seats of the stadium can be shared by a plurality of users.

The registration means 12 can register the time at which the user returns before or during the match. Thus, for example, even if the user has a predetermined return time or a user who needs to return during a match, the return time can be registered. For example, when the return time can be registered only at one of the timings Since the resale ticket can be sold for a longer period of time, the possibility of purchasing the resale ticket is improved.

{Circle around (5)} When the resale ticket is purchased, the return means 15 returns a predetermined percentage of the sales amount of the resale ticket to the user who purchased the normal ticket. As a result, while improving the sales of the game organizer, it is possible to consider a user who has purchased a normal ticket that has returned during the game, so that a user who cannot watch the game to the end can purchase a normal ticket. Can be encouraged.

{Circle around (2)} Return means 15 returns a predetermined amount of money when the returning time of the user is registered in registration means 12. This makes it possible to encourage the user who returns during the match to register the time to return. By registering the time to return, more resale tickets can be sold, so that the sales of the game organizer can be improved.

還元 The return means 15 returns a predetermined amount of money according to the remaining time of the game. As a result, for example, it is possible to return more to a user who has returned earlier, so that it is possible to encourage a user who can only watch an early game to purchase a normal ticket.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. In addition, the effects described in the embodiments of the present invention merely enumerate the most preferable effects resulting from the present invention, and the effects of the present invention are limited to those described in the embodiments of the present invention. is not.
