The selection unit 143 selects a plurality of information based on the user information registered in the user DB 113 and associated with the user ID of the user who requested participation registration and the facility information associated with each facility ID stored in the facility DB 112 . Select a recommended facility recommended to the user from the facilities in the
　図７は、実施形態２にかかる選択部１４３による選択処理を説明するための図である。図７には、参加登録要求元のユーザＵと、複数の施設Ｆ－１～Ｆ－４とが示されている。選択部１４３は、まず各施設Ｆ－１，Ｆ－２，Ｆ－３，Ｆ－４について、ユーザＵのユーザ情報とその施設情報とに基づいて、推奨度を算出する。このとき、選択部１４３は、ユーザ情報と相関の高い施設情報を有する施設の推奨度が高くなるように、推奨度を算出する。これにより、マッチング装置１００が参加登録要求元のユーザの好みに合った施設情報を有する施設を、そのユーザに推奨できる。 FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining selection processing by the selection unit 143 according to the second embodiment. FIG. 7 shows a user U who requested participation registration and a plurality of facilities F-1 to F-4. The selection unit 143 first calculates the degree of recommendation for each of the facilities F-1, F-2, F-3, and F-4 based on the user information of the user U and the facility information. At this time, the selection unit 143 calculates the recommendation level so that the recommendation level of a facility having facility information highly correlated with the user information is high. As a result, the matching device 100 can recommend a facility having facility information that matches the preferences of the user requesting participation registration to the user.
　そして選択部１４３は、各推奨度に基づいて複数の施設から推奨施設を選択する。例えば選択部１４３は、推奨度の最も高い施設Ｆ－１を、推奨施設として選択する。しかし選択部１４３は、推奨度が上位所定個である施設（例えば推奨度が上位２個である施設Ｆ－１及びＦ－４）、又は推奨度が所定値以上である施設（例えば推奨度が３以上である施設Ｆ－１、Ｆ－２及びＦ－４）を、推奨施設として選択してもよい。 Then, the selection unit 143 selects a recommended facility from a plurality of facilities based on each recommendation level. For example, the selection unit 143 selects the facility F-1 with the highest degree of recommendation as the recommended facility. However, the selection unit 143 selects facilities with a predetermined number of recommendations (for example, facilities F-1 and F-4 with two top recommendations), or facilities with a recommendation level of a predetermined value or more (for example, facilities with a recommendation level Facilities F-1, F-2 and F-4) that are 3 or more may be selected as recommended facilities.
　尚、施設ごとの推奨度（総合的な推奨度と呼ぶことがある）については、選択部１４３は、所定の評価項目（例えば、「距離」、「価格」及び「サービス」）の各々について個別の推奨度を算出し、個別の推奨度に基づいて算出するようにしてもよい。具体例として、選択部１４３は、以下のように施設ごとの推奨度を算出してよい。まず選択部１４３は、施設ごとに、「距離」についての個別の推奨度を、ユーザ情報に含まれる「居住地」とその施設の施設情報に含まれる「所在地」とに基づいて算出してよい。また選択部１４３は、施設ごとに、「価格」についての個別の推奨度を、ユーザ情報に含まれる「年齢」及び「志向性」とその施設の施設情報に含まれる「利用料金」とに基づいて算出してよい。また、選択部１４３は、施設ごとに、「サービス」についての個別の推奨度を、ユーザ情報に含まれる「年齢」、「性別」、「趣味」、及び「お気に入りの人物」とその施設の施設情報に含まれる「サービス」とに基づいて算出してよい。そして選択部１４３は、個別の推奨度の平均が高いほど、総合的な推奨度が高くなるようにしてよい。また選択部１４３は、ユーザＵが重視する評価項目がある場合、その評価項目に対応する個別の推奨度に重みをつけて、総合的な推奨度を算出してもよい。尚これに代えて、ユーザＵが重視するユーザ情報がある場合、選択部１４３は、個別の推奨度の算出の段階で、そのユーザ情報に重みをつけてもよい。 As for the degree of recommendation for each facility (sometimes referred to as the overall degree of recommendation), the selection unit 143 individually selects each predetermined evaluation item (for example, “distance”, “price”, and “service”). may be calculated based on the individual recommendation levels. As a specific example, the selection unit 143 may calculate the degree of recommendation for each facility as follows. First, the selection unit 143 may calculate an individual recommendation degree for "distance" for each facility based on the "place of residence" included in the user information and the "location" included in the facility information of the facility. . In addition, the selection unit 143 determines the individual recommendation level for the “price” for each facility based on the “age” and “intentionality” included in the user information and the “usage fee” included in the facility information of the facility. can be calculated by Further, the selection unit 143 selects the individual recommendation level of the "service" for each facility based on the "age", "gender", "hobbies", and "favorite person" included in the user information and the facilities of the facility. It may be calculated based on the "service" included in the information. Then, the selection unit 143 may set the overall recommendation level to be higher as the average of the individual recommendation levels is higher. Further, when there is an evaluation item that the user U attaches importance to, the selection unit 143 may weight individual recommendation degrees corresponding to the evaluation items to calculate a comprehensive recommendation degree. Alternatively, when there is user information that the user U places importance on, the selection unit 143 may weight the user information at the stage of calculating the degree of individual recommendation.
　また、選択部１４３は、各施設Ｆ－１，Ｆ－２，Ｆ－３，Ｆ－４について、ユーザＵのユーザ情報及び施設情報に加えて、他のユーザのユーザ情報に基づいて、推奨度を算出してもよい。他のユーザは、その施設での参加を現在希望している他のユーザであってもよいし、その施設の利用を予約している他のユーザであってもよい。これにより、マッチング装置１００は、相性が良いユーザ同士を、そのユーザたちの好みに合った施設に集めることが容易となる。 Further, the selection unit 143 determines the degree of recommendation based on the user information of other users in addition to the user information and facility information of the user U for each of the facilities F-1, F-2, F-3, and F-4. may be calculated. Other users may be other users who currently wish to participate in the facility, or may be other users who have reserved use of the facility. This makes it easier for the matching device 100 to gather users who are compatible with each other at a facility that matches the tastes of the users.
　図６に戻り、説明を続ける。出力制御部１４５は、上述した出力制御部１５の一例である。出力制御部１４５は、ユーザ端末２００から参加登録要求を受信した場合、ユーザ端末２００に、ユーザ情報の入力画面を表示させる。尚、出力制御部１４５は、ユーザ端末２００に対して、ユーザ情報の入力を受け付けるための音声出力情報を出力させ、収音した音声をユーザ端末２００から取得することで、ユーザ情報の入力を受け付けてもよい。 Return to Figure 6 and continue the explanation. The output control section 145 is an example of the output control section 15 described above. When receiving a participation registration request from the user terminal 200, the output control unit 145 causes the user terminal 200 to display a user information input screen. Note that the output control unit 145 causes the user terminal 200 to output audio output information for accepting input of user information, and acquires collected audio from the user terminal 200, thereby accepting input of user information. may
　出力制御部１４５は、施設ＤＢ１１２から、推奨施設の施設ＩＤに対応付けられた提供情報を取得する。そして出力制御部１４５は、提供情報を出力情報として、参加登録要求元のユーザ端末２００に送信し、ユーザ端末２００に表示させる。しかしこれに代えて、出力制御部１４５は、提供情報に基づいて出力情報を生成した上で、出力情報を参加登録要求元のユーザ端末２００に送信し、ユーザ端末２００に表示させてもよい。この場合、出力情報は、取得した１又は複数の提供情報と、その提供情報の表示態様の情報とを含んでよい。表示態様は、提供情報に対応付けられた推奨施設の推奨度に応じて、出力制御部１４５により決められてよい。このとき出力制御部１４５は、推奨度が高い推奨施設の提供情報ほど、表示順位が高くなるように、又は強調して表示されるように、表示態様を決定してよい。 The output control unit 145 acquires provided information associated with the facility ID of the recommended facility from the facility DB 112 . Then, the output control unit 145 transmits the provided information as output information to the user terminal 200 that requested participation registration, and causes the user terminal 200 to display the provided information. However, instead of this, the output control unit 145 may generate output information based on the provided information, transmit the output information to the user terminal 200 that requested participation registration, and cause the user terminal 200 to display the output information. In this case, the output information may include one or a plurality of acquired pieces of provided information and information on the display mode of the provided information. The display mode may be determined by the output control unit 145 according to the recommendation level of the recommended facility associated with the provided information. At this time, the output control unit 145 may determine the display mode such that the higher the degree of recommendation, the higher the display order of the provided information of the recommended facility, or the more emphasized it is displayed.
　予約処理部１４６は、予約処理手段とも呼ばれる。予約処理部１４６は、出力情報を表示したユーザ端末２００から予約要求を受信した場合、予約要求にかかる施設の予約処理を開始する。例えば予約処理部１４６は、予約要求にかかる施設の施設端末３００に対して、ユーザから予約要求があった旨を通知し、予約登録を実行させる。そして予約処理部１４６は、予約登録が完了したことを施設端末３００から受信した場合、施設ＤＢ１１２の、当該施設の施設ＩＤに対応付けられた施設情報の、予約状況を更新する。 The reservation processing unit 146 is also called reservation processing means. When the reservation processing unit 146 receives a reservation request from the user terminal 200 displaying the output information, the reservation processing unit 146 starts reservation processing for the facility related to the reservation request. For example, the reservation processing unit 146 notifies the facility terminal 300 of the facility related to the reservation request that there is a reservation request from the user, and causes the reservation to be registered. Then, when receiving from the facility terminal 300 that the reservation registration has been completed, the reservation processing unit 146 updates the reservation status of the facility information associated with the facility ID of the facility in the facility DB 112 .
　図８及び図９は、実施形態２にかかるマッチング方法の流れを示すシーケンス図である。本図では説明のため、マッチングシステム１０００には２つの施設の各々に対応する施設端末３００－１，３００－２が含まれるとするが、これに限らない。複数の施設端末３００－１，３００－２の各々は、自己の施設がイベント開催可能である旨と、自己の施設の施設情報と、施設ＩＤとを、マッチング装置１００に送信する（Ｓ２０）。そしてマッチング装置１００の施設情報取得部１４１は、取得した施設情報を、施設ＩＤに対応付けて施設ＤＢ１１２に格納する（Ｓ２１）。 8 and 9 are sequence diagrams showing the flow of the matching method according to the second embodiment. In this figure, matching system 1000 is assumed to include facility terminals 300-1 and 300-2 corresponding to two facilities, but is not limited to this. Each of the plurality of facility terminals 300-1 and 300-2 transmits to the matching device 100 information indicating that the own facility can hold an event, facility information of the own facility, and the facility ID (S20). Then, the facility information acquisition unit 141 of the matching device 100 stores the acquired facility information in the facility DB 112 in association with the facility ID (S21).
　次にユーザ端末２００は、マッチング装置１００に対してオンラインイベントの参加登録要求を送信する（Ｓ２２）。次に、マッチング装置１００の出力制御部１４５は、ユーザ情報の入力画面を、ユーザ端末２００に対して送信し、ユーザ端末２００に表示させる（Ｓ２３）。 Next, the user terminal 200 transmits an online event participation registration request to the matching device 100 (S22). Next, the output control unit 145 of the matching device 100 transmits the user information input screen to the user terminal 200 and causes the user terminal 200 to display it (S23).
　図１０は、実施形態２にかかるユーザ情報の入力画面を示す図である。ユーザ端末２００の表示部２４０には、参加登録に必要なユーザ情報の入力領域が表示される。図１０では、一例として、表示部２４０には、年齢、性別、居住地、趣味、好きな芸能人、ファン歴、利用料金の希望価格帯、及び希望する備品を入力する領域が表示されている。 FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a user information input screen according to the second embodiment. The display unit 240 of the user terminal 200 displays an input area for user information required for participation registration. In FIG. 10, as an example, the display unit 240 displays areas for inputting age, sex, place of residence, hobby, favorite entertainer, fan history, desired price range of usage fees, and desired fixtures.
　また、表示部２４０には、ユーザが施設を選ぶ場合に、居住地から近い場所にある施設を重視するか（「距離重視」）、利用料金が安いことを重視するか（「価格重視」）、サービスの内容を重視するか（「サービス重視」）をチェックする領域も表示されてよい。本評価項目のいずれかにチェックが入っている場合、マッチング装置１００の選択部１４３は、チェックされた評価項目が、ユーザＵにとって重視する評価項目であるとみなしてよい。この場合、選択部１４３は、後続する選択処理において、チェックされた評価項目に対応する個別の推奨度に重みをつけて総合的な推奨度を算出してよい。 In addition, when the user selects a facility, the display unit 240 indicates whether the facility located near the place of residence should be emphasized (“distance-oriented”) or whether the usage fee should be low (“price-oriented”). , an area for checking whether the content of the service is valued ("service-focused") may also be displayed. If any of the evaluation items is checked, the selection unit 143 of the matching device 100 may regard the checked evaluation item as an evaluation item that the user U attaches importance to. In this case, the selection unit 143 may calculate the overall recommendation level by weighting the individual recommendation levels corresponding to the checked evaluation items in the subsequent selection process.
　図８に戻り説明を続ける。上述した入力画面がユーザ端末２００の表示部２４０に表示された場合、ユーザは、ユーザ端末２００の入力部２５０を用いて、ユーザ情報の入力操作を行う（Ｓ２４）。入力操作を受け付けたユーザ端末２００は、入力されたユーザ情報を、マッチング装置１００に送信する（Ｓ２５）。ユーザ情報を受信したマッチング装置１００のユーザ情報取得部１４２は、ユーザＩＤを発行し（Ｓ２６）、ユーザＩＤと、ユーザ情報とを対応付けて、ユーザＤＢ１１３に登録する（Ｓ２７）。そしてマッチング装置１００のユーザ情報取得部１４２は、ユーザＩＤを、ユーザ端末２００に通知する（Ｓ２８）。 Return to Fig. 8 and continue the explanation. When the above-described input screen is displayed on the display unit 240 of the user terminal 200, the user uses the input unit 250 of the user terminal 200 to input user information (S24). The user terminal 200 that has received the input operation transmits the input user information to the matching device 100 (S25). The user information acquisition unit 142 of the matching device 100 that has received the user information issues a user ID (S26), associates the user ID with the user information, and registers them in the user DB 113 (S27). Then, the user information acquisition unit 142 of the matching device 100 notifies the user terminal 200 of the user ID (S28).
　次に、マッチング装置１００の選択部１４３は、複数の施設の各々について、少なくともユーザ情報及び各施設情報に基づいて、推奨度を算出する（Ｓ２９）。次に、選択部１４３は、推奨度に基づいて、複数の施設から推奨施設を選択する（Ｓ３０）。次に、マッチング装置１００の出力制御部１４５は、推奨施設の施設ＩＤに対応付けられた提供情報を、施設ＤＢ１１２から取得する（Ｓ３１）。次に、出力制御部１４５は、提供情報と、その表示態様の情報とを含む出力情報を生成する（Ｓ３２）。次に、出力制御部１４５は、出力情報を、ユーザ端末２００に送信する（Ｓ３３）。 Next, the selection unit 143 of the matching device 100 calculates the recommendation level for each of the plurality of facilities based on at least the user information and each facility information (S29). Next, the selection unit 143 selects a recommended facility from a plurality of facilities based on the degree of recommendation (S30). Next, the output control unit 145 of the matching device 100 acquires the provided information associated with the facility ID of the recommended facility from the facility DB 112 (S31). Next, the output control unit 145 generates output information including the provided information and information on its display mode (S32). Next, the output control unit 145 transmits the output information to the user terminal 200 (S33).
　出力情報を受信したユーザ端末２００は、出力情報を表示部２４０に表示する（Ｓ３４）。次に、ユーザ端末２００は、予約を希望する施設の選択操作をユーザから受け付ける（Ｓ３５）。 The user terminal 200 that has received the output information displays the output information on the display unit 240 (S34). Next, the user terminal 200 receives from the user an operation for selecting a facility for which reservation is desired (S35).
　図１１は、実施形態２にかかるユーザ端末２００に表示される表示画面の一例を示す図である。ユーザ端末２００の表示部２４０には、図１１に示すように、出力情報に基づいた表示画面が表示される。本例では、ユーザにオススメの施設は、Ａホテル及びＢホテルであり、出力情報には、Ａホテルの提供情報４００と、Ｂホテルの提供情報４０１と、表示態様の情報とが含まれる。表示態様の情報には、Ａホテルの提供情報４００の表示順位が１位であり、Ｂホテルの提供情報４０１の表示順位が２位であることを示す情報が含まれている。提供情報４００，４０１には、施設情報である、又は施設情報に基づいて生成された情報が含まれる。一例として、提供情報４００，４０１には、住所、最寄り駅、利用料金、及びオススメサービスが含まれてよい。また一例として、提供情報４００，４０１には、その施設での参加を現在希望している他のユーザの人数の情報、及びあと何人予約が可能かを示す情報が含まれてよい。これによりユーザに、現在希望している他のユーザの人数を知らせて、その部屋の混雑の程度や人気の程度を把握させることで、ユーザが容易に利用施設を決定できる。 FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen displayed on the user terminal 200 according to the second embodiment. A display screen based on the output information is displayed on the display unit 240 of the user terminal 200, as shown in FIG. In this example, the facilities recommended to the user are A hotel and B hotel, and the output information includes the provided information 400 of A hotel, the provided information 401 of B hotel, and the information of the display mode. The display mode information includes information indicating that the display order of the provided information 400 of the A hotel is first and that the display order of the provided information 401 of the B hotel is second. The provided information 400 and 401 includes facility information or information generated based on facility information. As an example, the provided information 400, 401 may include an address, nearest station, usage fee, and recommended service. Also, as an example, the provided information 400 and 401 may include information on the number of other users who are currently desiring to participate in the facility and information indicating how many more users can be reserved. In this way, the user can easily decide which facility to use by notifying the user of the number of other users who are currently requesting to use the room, and by making the user grasp the degree of congestion and the degree of popularity of the room.
　ここで、マッチング装置１００の選択部１４３が、上述した評価項目ごとの個別の推奨度を算出する場合、出力情報には、ユーザにオススメの施設の、評価項目ごとの個別の推奨度を示す情報が含まれてもよい。そしてユーザ端末２００の表示部２４０は、ユーザにオススメの施設の、評価項目ごとの個別の推奨度を示す情報を提供情報とともに表示してよい。一例として、表示部２４０は、Ａホテルは全ての評価項目で星３つであるが、Ｂホテルは「価格」と「サービス」について星２つであり、「距離」について星３つであると表示してよい。星の数は、個別の推奨度の大きさに応じて決められてよい。またユーザＵが「距離重視」を選択した場合は、「距離」に対応する個別の推奨度に重みがつけられるため、表示部２４０では、「価格」と「サービス」に関する星の数が小さくても、「距離」に関する星の数が大きい施設が優先的に表示される。 Here, when the selection unit 143 of the matching device 100 calculates the individual recommendation level for each evaluation item described above, the output information includes information indicating the individual recommendation level for each evaluation item of the facility recommended to the user. may be included. Then, the display unit 240 of the user terminal 200 may display information indicating the degree of individual recommendation of facilities recommended to the user for each evaluation item together with the provided information. As an example, the display unit 240 indicates that Hotel A has three stars for all evaluation items, while Hotel B has two stars for "price" and "service" and three stars for "distance." may be displayed. The number of stars may be determined according to the magnitude of individual recommendations. Also, when the user U selects "distance-focused", the individual recommendation degree corresponding to "distance" is weighted. Also, facilities with a large number of stars related to "distance" are displayed preferentially.
　尚、ユーザ端末２００の表示部２４０には、Ａホテル及びＢホテルの各々について、部屋の予約を申し込むための入力領域５００，５０１も表示されている。ユーザがＡホテルの部屋の予約を希望する場合、ユーザは、Ａホテルの提供情報４００に対応付けられた入力領域５００を選択する。 The display unit 240 of the user terminal 200 also displays input areas 500 and 501 for requesting a room reservation for each of the A hotel and the B hotel. When the user wishes to reserve a room at Hotel A, the user selects the input area 500 associated with the provided information 400 of Hotel A. FIG.
　図９に戻り、説明を続ける。選択操作を受け付けたユーザ端末２００は、予約要求をマッチング装置１００に送信する（Ｓ３６）。予約要求には、ユーザが選択した推奨施設の情報（例えば施設ＩＤ）が含まれる。 Return to Figure 9 and continue the explanation. The user terminal 200 that has received the selection operation transmits a reservation request to the matching device 100 (S36). The reservation request includes information on the recommended facility selected by the user (for example, facility ID).
　予約要求を受信したマッチング装置１００の予約処理部１４６は、選択された推奨施設に対応する施設端末３００（本図では、施設端末３００－１）に、その旨を通知し、予約処理を開始する（Ｓ３７）。これにより、マッチング装置１００及び施設端末３００－１は、予約処理を実行する。予約処理が完了したことに応じて、マッチング装置１００の予約処理部１４６は、施設ＤＢ１１２において、予約にかかる施設の施設ＩＤに対応付けられた予約状況を更新する（Ｓ３８）。 Reservation processing unit 146 of matching device 100 that has received the reservation request notifies facility terminal 300 (facility terminal 300-1 in this figure) corresponding to the selected recommended facility to that effect, and starts reservation processing. (S37). Accordingly, matching device 100 and facility terminal 300-1 execute reservation processing. Upon completion of the reservation processing, the reservation processing unit 146 of the matching device 100 updates the reservation status associated with the facility ID of the facility related to the reservation in the facility DB 112 (S38).
　このように実施形態２によれば、マッチング装置１００は、ユーザがオンラインイベントにリモートで参加可能な施設から、ユーザに合った施設を選択し、当該施設に関連する出力情報を容易に提供する。これにより、マッチング装置１００は、ユーザに施設の予約を促すことができる。したがって、ユーザは、自己のユーザ情報をマッチング装置１００に提供するだけで、自分に合った施設を容易に把握できる。そしてユーザは、自分に合った施設の利用予約を、容易に行うことができる。 As described above, according to the second embodiment, the matching device 100 selects a facility that suits the user from among facilities where the user can participate in the online event remotely, and easily provides output information related to the facility. Thereby, the matching device 100 can prompt the user to make a reservation for the facility. Therefore, the user can easily grasp the facility that suits him or her simply by providing his or her own user information to the matching device 100 . Then, the user can easily make a reservation for use of the facility that suits him or her.
　＜実施形態３＞
　次に、本開示の実施形態３について説明する。実施形態３は、相性が良いユーザ同士が集まったクラスタと、施設とをマッチングすることに特徴を有する。 <Embodiment 3>
Next, Embodiment 3 of the present disclosure will be described. The third embodiment is characterized by matching facilities with clusters of users who are compatible with each other.
　図１２は、実施形態３にかかるマッチングシステム１０００ａの全体構成を示すブロック図である。マッチングシステム１０００ａは、複数のユーザ端末２００を含む。またマッチングシステム１０００ａは、マッチング装置１００に代えてマッチング装置１００ａを備える。 FIG. 12 is a block diagram showing the overall configuration of a matching system 1000a according to the third embodiment. Matching system 1000a includes a plurality of user terminals 200 . The matching system 1000a also includes a matching device 100a instead of the matching device 100. FIG.
　図１３は、実施形態３にかかるマッチング装置１００ａの構成を示すブロック図である。マッチング装置１００ａは、記憶部１１０及び制御部１４０に代えて、記憶部１１０ａ及び制御部１４０ａを備える。記憶部１１０ａは、プログラム１１１に代えてプログラム１１１ａを記憶する。プログラム１１１ａは、実施形態３にかかるマッチング方法の処理が実装されたコンピュータプログラムである。 FIG. 13 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the matching device 100a according to the third embodiment. The matching device 100a includes a storage unit 110a and a control unit 140a instead of the storage unit 110 and the control unit 140. FIG. Storage unit 110 a stores program 111 a instead of program 111 . The program 111a is a computer program in which processing of the matching method according to the third embodiment is implemented.
　制御部１４０ａは、ユーザ情報取得部１４２及び選択部１４３に代えて、ユーザ情報取得部１４２ａ及び選択部１４３ａを有する点で制御部１４０と相違する。 The control unit 140a differs from the control unit 140 in that it has a user information acquisition unit 142a and a selection unit 143a instead of the user information acquisition unit 142 and the selection unit 143.
　ユーザ情報取得部１４２ａは、ユーザ情報取得部１４２と同様に、ユーザ情報を取得する。但し、ユーザ情報取得部１４２ａは、複数のユーザの各々のユーザ情報を取得する。 The user information acquisition unit 142a acquires user information in the same way as the user information acquisition unit 142 does. However, the user information acquisition unit 142a acquires user information of each of a plurality of users.
　選択部１４３ａは、各ユーザのユーザ情報に基づいて、複数のユーザをクラスタリングする（クラスタリング処理）。クラスタリング手法としては、ｋ平均法といった公知のクラスタリング手法を用いることができる。ここで、選択部１４３ａは、１施設あたり必ず複数人が配分されるように、１クラスタに属するユーザの数が２以上となるように、クラスタリングを実行してよい。しかし、１クラスタに属するユーザの数の条件は、これに限らず、所定の人数以上としてもよい。 The selection unit 143a clusters a plurality of users based on the user information of each user (clustering process). As a clustering method, a known clustering method such as the k-means method can be used. Here, the selection unit 143a may perform clustering so that the number of users belonging to one cluster is two or more so that a plurality of users are always allocated to one facility. However, the condition for the number of users belonging to one cluster is not limited to this, and may be a predetermined number or more.
　そして選択部１４３ａは、各クラスタについて、そのクラスタに属するユーザのユーザ情報と、各施設の施設情報とに基づいて、複数の施設のうちから推奨施設を選択する（選択処理）。 Then, for each cluster, the selection unit 143a selects a recommended facility from a plurality of facilities based on the user information of the users belonging to that cluster and the facility information of each facility (selection processing).
　図１４は、実施形態３にかかる選択部１４３ａによるクラスタリング処理及び選択処理を説明するための図である。図１４には、参加登録要求元の複数のユーザＵ－１～Ｕ－５が示されている。
　まず選択部１４３ａは、ユーザ情報に基づいて、ユーザＵ－１～Ｕ－５をクラスタリングする。これにより、ユーザＵ－１～Ｕ－５は、ユーザ情報の相関性が高いクラスタＣ－１又はクラスタＣ－２に分類される。一例として、クラスタＣ－１は、お気に入りの人物が「アイドルグループａ」である傾向のクラスタであり、クラスタＣ－２は、お気に入りの人物が「アーティストｂ」である傾向のクラスタである。
　そして選択部１４３ａは、各クラスタＣ－１，Ｃ－２について、推奨施設を選択する。例えば選択部１４３ａは、クラスタＣ－１に属するユーザＵ－１，Ｕ－３のユーザ情報に基づいて、クラスタＣ－１の属性情報を生成する。一例として、選択部１４３ａは、クラスタＣ－１については「アイドルグループａのファン」という属性情報を生成し、クラスタＣ－２については「アーティストｂのファン」という属性情報を生成してよい。そして選択部１４３ａは、クラスタＣ－１の推奨施設として、クラスタＣ－１に属するユーザＵ－１，Ｕ－３のユーザ情報と、各施設Ｆ－１，Ｆ－２，Ｆ－３，Ｆ－４の施設情報とに基づいて、クラスタＣ－１に相関が高い施設Ｆ－２を選択する。選択部１４３ａは、クラスタＣ－２の推奨施設についても、同様に推奨施設を選択する。これにより、マッチング装置１００ａは、相性が良いユーザ同士を、そのユーザたちの好みに合った施設に集めることが容易となる。 FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining clustering processing and selection processing by the selection unit 143a according to the third embodiment. FIG. 14 shows a plurality of users U-1 to U-5 who have requested participation registration.
First, the selection unit 143a clusters the users U-1 to U-5 based on the user information. As a result, the users U-1 to U-5 are classified into the cluster C-1 or the cluster C-2 with high user information correlation. As an example, cluster C-1 is a cluster whose favorite person tends to be "idol group a", and cluster C-2 is a cluster whose favorite person tends to be "artist b".
The selection unit 143a then selects recommended facilities for each of the clusters C-1 and C-2. For example, the selection unit 143a generates the attribute information of cluster C-1 based on the user information of users U-1 and U-3 belonging to cluster C-1. As an example, the selection unit 143a may generate attribute information "fans of idol group a" for cluster C-1, and attribute information "fans of artist b" for cluster C-2. Then, the selection unit 143a selects the user information of the users U-1 and U-3 belonging to the cluster C-1 and the facilities F-1, F-2, F-3, and F- as recommended facilities for the cluster C-1. 4, the facility F-2 having a high correlation with the cluster C-1 is selected. The selection unit 143a similarly selects recommended facilities for the recommended facilities of cluster C-2. This makes it easier for the matching device 100a to gather users who are compatible with each other at a facility that matches the tastes of the users.
　ここで、クラスタリング処理に用いるユーザ情報と、選択処理（特に、クラスタの属性情報の生成処理）に用いるユーザ情報とは、種類が同じであってもよいし、一部が異なっていてもよいし、全部が異なっていてもよい。上述の説明では、クラスタリング処理及び選択処理の両方に同じ種類のユーザ情報（上述の例では、お気に入りの人物）が用いられていた。しかし一例として、選択部１４３ａは、ユーザ情報のうち、お気に入りの人物の情報をクラスタリングに用い、ユーザ情報のうち、お気に入りの人物の情報及び希望価格帯の情報を選択処理に用いてよい。また一例として、選択部１４３ａは、ユーザ情報のうち、お気に入りの人物の情報をクラスタリングに用い、ユーザ情報のうち、居住地及び希望価格帯の情報を選択処理に用いてよい。ここで、各処理において、どのユーザ情報を重視するかをユーザＵが設定可能であってよい。選択部１４３ａは、設定されたユーザ情報に重み付けをして、クラスタリング処理や選択処理を実行してよい。 Here, the user information used for the clustering process and the user information used for the selection process (particularly, the cluster attribute information generation process) may be of the same type, or may be partially different. , may all be different. In the above description, the same type of user information (favorite person in the example above) was used for both the clustering process and the selection process. However, as an example, the selection unit 143a may use the information of the favorite person among the user information for clustering, and use the information of the favorite person and the information of the desired price range among the user information for the selection process. As another example, the selection unit 143a may use information about a favorite person in the user information for clustering, and may use information about the place of residence and the desired price range in the user information for the selection process. Here, the user U may be able to set which user information is emphasized in each process. The selection unit 143a may perform clustering processing and selection processing by weighting the set user information.
　尚、クラスタＣ－１又はＣ－２に属するユーザの数が、そのクラスタの推奨施設に対応して定められる人数の条件を満たしていない場合、選択部１４３ａは、再度クラスタリングを実行してよい。推奨施設に対応して定められる人数とは、その推奨施設の、部屋に収容可能な最大人数（いわゆる、収容人数）、又はオンラインイベントを開催するための最低人数（いわゆる、最低開催人数）である。図１４の例では、ユーザＵ－１，Ｕ－３が属するクラスタＣ－１の推奨施設は、施設Ｆ－２である。ここで、施設Ｆ－２の最低開催人数が３人である場合、クラスタＣ－１のユーザ数が３人未満であるため、選択部１４３ａは、再度クラスタリングを実行してよい。尚、再度クラスタリングを実行するとは、全ユーザを母集団としてパラメータを変更して同様のクラスタリングをすることであってもよいし、一部のクラスタ内のユーザを母集団としてクラスタリングをすることであってもよい。また、再度クラスタリングを実行するとは、一部のクラスタ内の一部のユーザを、他のクラスタに収容させることであってもよいし、一部のクラスタを統合することであってもよい。これにより、人数の条件を満たすようにクラスタと施設とをマッチングさせることが可能となる。 If the number of users belonging to cluster C-1 or C-2 does not satisfy the number of users defined for the recommended facility of that cluster, the selection unit 143a may perform clustering again. The number of people determined for a recommended facility is the maximum number of people that can be accommodated in the room of the recommended facility (so-called capacity) or the minimum number of people for holding an online event (so-called minimum number of people). . In the example of FIG. 14, the recommended facility for cluster C-1 to which users U-1 and U-3 belong is facility F-2. Here, when the minimum number of participants in the facility F-2 is three, the number of users in the cluster C-1 is less than three, so the selection unit 143a may perform clustering again. Note that performing clustering again may mean performing similar clustering with all users as a population and changing parameters, or clustering with users in a part of the cluster as a population. may Further, performing clustering again may mean that some users in some clusters are accommodated in other clusters, or that some clusters are integrated. This makes it possible to match clusters and facilities so as to satisfy the condition of the number of people.
　あるいは、上述のように人数の条件を満たさない場合、選択部１４３ａは、クラスタと施設とが別の組み合わせとなるように再度選択処理を実行してもよい。これによっても、人数の条件を満たすようにクラスタと施設とをマッチングさせることが可能となる。 Alternatively, if the number of people condition is not satisfied as described above, the selection unit 143a may perform the selection process again so that clusters and facilities are combined differently. This also makes it possible to match clusters and facilities so as to satisfy the condition of the number of people.
　図１５は、実施形態３にかかるマッチング方法の流れを示すシーケンス図である。図１５に示すＳ５１は、各ユーザ端末２００－１，２００－２について図８のＳ２８が実行された後に行われる。ユーザ端末２００－１，２００－２は、それぞれ、ユーザＵ－１及びユーザＵ－２が使用するユーザ端末である。 FIG. 15 is a sequence diagram showing the flow of the matching method according to the third embodiment. S51 shown in FIG. 15 is performed after S28 in FIG. 8 is executed for each of the user terminals 200-1 and 200-2. User terminals 200-1 and 200-2 are user terminals used by user U-1 and user U-2, respectively.

　出力情報を受信したユーザ端末２００－１，２００－２の各々は、出力情報を表示部２４０に表示する（Ｓ５７）。次に、ユーザ端末２００－１，２００－２の各々は、予約を希望する施設の選択操作をユーザから受け付ける（Ｓ５８）。 Each of the user terminals 200-1 and 200-2 that have received the output information displays the output information on the display unit 240 (S57). Next, each of user terminals 200-1 and 200-2 receives from the user an operation for selecting a facility for which a reservation is desired (S58).
　図１６は、実施形態３にかかるユーザ端末２００－１に表示される表示画面の一例を示す図である。ユーザ端末２００－１の表示部２４０には、図１６に示すように、クラスタＣ－１に応じた出力情報に基づいた表示画面が表示される。本例では、ユーザにオススメの施設は、Ａホテルであり、出力情報には、Ａホテルの提供情報４１０が含まれる。一例として、提供情報４１０には、住所、最寄り駅、利用料金、及びオススメサービスが含まれてよい。そして提供情報４１０には、Ａホテルを推奨されているユーザの特徴を示す情報が含まれてよい。Ａホテルを推奨されているユーザの特徴を示す情報は、クラスタリング処理に用いたユーザ情報の特徴情報、又は選択処理に用いたユーザ情報に基づいて生成されたクラスタＣ－１の属性情報であってよい。このような情報を表示することにより、ユーザは、その施設を推奨されている他のユーザが自分と相性が良さそうかを把握することができる。尚、選択部１４３ａが、上述した評価項目ごとの個別の推奨度を算出する場合、出力情報には、推奨される施設の、評価項目ごとの個別の推奨度を示す情報が含まれてもよい。 FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen displayed on the user terminal 200-1 according to the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 16, a display screen based on output information corresponding to cluster C-1 is displayed on display unit 240 of user terminal 200-1. In this example, the facility recommended to the user is the A Hotel, and the output information includes the provided information 410 of the A Hotel. As an example, the provided information 410 may include an address, nearest station, usage fee, and recommended service. The provided information 410 may include information indicating the characteristics of the user who is recommended the A Hotel. The information indicating the characteristics of the user who is recommended the A hotel is the attribute information of the cluster C-1 generated based on the characteristic information of the user information used for the clustering process or the user information used for the selection process, good. By displaying such information, the user can grasp whether other users who are recommended to use the facility seem to be compatible with the user. When the selection unit 143a calculates the individual recommendation level for each evaluation item described above, the output information may include information indicating the individual recommendation level for each evaluation item of the recommended facility. .
　ここで、ユーザ端末２００－１の表示部２４０には、ユーザＵ－１が、推奨されたＡホテルの部屋の予約を申し込むための入力領域５１０が表示されている。一方、ユーザ端末２００－１の表示部２４０には、ユーザＵ－１が推奨されたＡホテル以外の施設の予約を希望する場合に対応するため、他の施設の情報を要求する入力領域６００も表示されていてよい。 Here, on the display unit 240 of the user terminal 200-1, an input area 510 is displayed for the user U-1 to make a reservation for a room at the recommended A hotel. On the other hand, on the display unit 240 of the user terminal 200-1, there is also an input area 600 for requesting information on other facilities in order to correspond to the case where the user U-1 wishes to reserve a facility other than the recommended A hotel. May be displayed.
　マッチング装置１００ａの選択部１４３ａは、入力領域６００が選択されたことに応じて、収容人数に空きがある施設のうち、ユーザＵ－１と相関の高い施設を特定してよい。収容人数に空きがあるとは、収容人数から既に割り当てられたクラスタに属するユーザ数を差し引いた値が１以上である施設であってよい。その施設がユーザＵ－１と相関が高いかは、上述の実施形態２と同様に、ユーザＵ－１のユーザ情報とその施設の施設情報とに基づく推奨度により決定されてよい。また、その施設がユーザＵ－１と相関が高いかは、これに加えて、その施設に既に割り当てられたクラスタに属するユーザのユーザ情報に基づく推奨度により決定されてよい。 When the input area 600 is selected, the selection unit 143a of the matching device 100a may identify a facility that has a high correlation with the user U-1 among the facilities that have vacancies. A facility with a vacant capacity may be a facility where the value obtained by subtracting the number of users belonging to an already allocated cluster from the capacity is 1 or more. Whether the facility has a high correlation with the user U-1 may be determined based on the degree of recommendation based on the user information of the user U-1 and the facility information of the facility, as in the second embodiment. In addition, whether the facility has a high correlation with user U-1 may be determined based on the degree of recommendation based on the user information of the users belonging to the cluster already assigned to the facility.
　選択部１４３ａが他の施設を特定した場合、出力制御部１４５は、上述のように特定された施設の提供情報を含む出力情報を、ユーザ端末２００－１に送信する。そしてユーザ端末２００－１の表示部２４０には、図１７に示す表示画面が表示される。図１７は、実施形態３にかかるユーザ端末２００－１に表示される表示画面の一例を示す図である。 When the selection unit 143a specifies another facility, the output control unit 145 transmits output information including the provided information of the facility specified as described above to the user terminal 200-1. Then, the display screen shown in FIG. 17 is displayed on the display unit 240 of the user terminal 200-1. FIG. 17 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen displayed on the user terminal 200-1 according to the third embodiment.
　本例では、特定された他の施設は、Ｂホテル及びＣホテルであり、出力情報には、Ｂホテルの提供情報４１１と、Ｃホテルの提供情報４１２と、表示態様の情報とが含まれる。またユーザ端末２００－１の表示部２４０には、Ｂホテル及びＣホテルの各々について、部屋の予約を申し込むための入力領域５１１，５１２も表示されている。 In this example, the other specified facilities are Hotel B and Hotel C, and the output information includes the provided information 411 for Hotel B, the provided information 412 for Hotel C, and display mode information. Display unit 240 of user terminal 200-1 also displays input areas 511 and 512 for requesting room reservations for B hotel and C hotel, respectively.
　尚、上述の実施形態２と同様に、出力情報には、ユーザと相関の高い施設の、評価項目ごとの個別の推奨度を示す情報が含まれてもよい。そしてユーザ端末２００－１の表示部２４０は、ユーザと相関の高い施設の、評価項目ごとの個別の推奨度を示す情報を提供情報とともに表示してよい。一例として、表示部２４０は、Ｂホテルは全ての評価項目で星３つであるが、Ｃホテルは「価格」と「サービス」について星２つであり、「距離」について星３つであると表示してよい。星の数は、個別の推奨度の大きさに応じて決められてよい。またユーザＵが「距離重視」を選択した場合は、「距離」に対応する個別の推奨度に重みがつけられるため、表示部２４０では、「価格」と「サービス」に関する星の数が小さくても、「距離」に関する星の数が大きい施設が優先的に表示される。 As in the second embodiment described above, the output information may include information indicating the degree of individual recommendation for each evaluation item for facilities that are highly correlated with the user. Then, the display unit 240 of the user terminal 200-1 may display, together with the provided information, information indicating the degree of individual recommendation for each evaluation item of facilities highly correlated with the user. As an example, the display unit 240 indicates that Hotel B has three stars for all evaluation items, while Hotel C has two stars for "price" and "service" and three stars for "distance." may be displayed. The number of stars may be determined according to the magnitude of individual recommendations. Also, when the user U selects "distance-focused", the individual recommendation degree corresponding to "distance" is weighted. Also, facilities with a large number of stars related to "distance" are displayed preferentially.
　入力領域５１０，５１１，５１２のいずれかの選択を受け付けたユーザ端末２００－１は、予約要求をマッチング装置１００ａに送信する（Ｓ５９）。ユーザ端末２００－２についても同様である。そして図９のＳ３７～Ｓ３８と同様の処理を、各ユーザ端末の予約要求について、実行する。 The user terminal 200-1 that has accepted the selection of one of the input areas 510, 511, and 512 transmits a reservation request to the matching device 100a (S59). The same applies to the user terminal 200-2. Then, the same processing as S37-S38 in FIG. 9 is executed for the reservation request of each user terminal.
　このように実施形態３によれば、マッチング装置１００ａは、相性が良いユーザ同士を、そのユーザたちの好みに合った施設に、人数条件を課して集めることが容易となる。したがって、施設側にとっては、人数が集まらない中でオンラインイベントを開催するというリスクを回避できる。これにより、施設に対してオンラインイベントの開催会場の提供を促進できる。またユーザ側にとっては、混雑を避けながらも、相性の良い他のユーザと、直接イベント体験を共有できる。これにより、ユーザの、オンラインイベントへの満足度をより高めることができる。 As described above, according to the third embodiment, the matching device 100a makes it easy to gather users who are compatible with each other at a facility that matches the tastes of the users by imposing a number condition. Therefore, for the facility side, it is possible to avoid the risk of holding an online event when the number of people does not gather. As a result, it is possible to promote the provision of venues for online events to facilities. For users, it is possible to directly share event experiences with other users who are compatible with each other while avoiding congestion. As a result, users can be more satisfied with the online event.
