For example and not limitation, point information may be sent via the official account of the reservation destination, sent from the official account of the company that provides the reservation service, or sent through the notification function of application software, etc. Can be sent by contact.

In this way, the communication units 42 of the participant terminals 40A and 40C respectively receive the point information indicating that users A and C are associated with each other based on the reservation (C31). As a result, point information 67 indicating that 100 points have been given to the participant is displayed on the display unit 44 of the participant terminal 40 as shown in FIG. 21 as an example and not as a limitation. Similarly, based on the reservation, the communication unit 22 of the representative terminal 20 receives the point information indicating that it is associated with the user R (A31).

<Effects of the Fourth Embodiment>
In the fourth embodiment, the communication unit 22 of the representative terminal 20 receives point information indicating that the points set for the user R are associated based on the reservation. (an example of the information shown) is received.
As an example of the effect of such a configuration, points are associated not only with the user R who made the reservation, but also with the users A and C who are participants, so that the points can be fairly associated.

<Fourth Modification (1)>
In the present embodiment, the received participant information (user R, user A, and user C) is the same number as the expected number of participants (three) entered by user R who made the reservation. Different numbers of people are possible. For example, among the users R, A, and C (three participants) who finally participated in the reservation, if the user A did not register the participant information, the participant information (user R and user C 2 people) is less than the planned number of participants (3 people).

As a non-limiting example, if the received participant information is less than the planned number of participants input by the user R, the control unit 11 of the server 10 determines the number of participants based on the planned number of participants and the number of participants based on the participant information Associate points to user R. For example, as shown in FIG. 22, when the expected number of participants is 3 and the received participant information is user R and user C, the control unit 11 determines the number of participants (3). 300 points are equally divided by the expected number of participants (3 persons), and 200 points for two persons (user R and user A) are associated with user R. Further, the control unit 11 associates the user C with 100 points for one person.

Then, the control unit 11 controls the communication unit 14 to transmit point information indicating that 200 points have been associated with the user R to the representative terminal 20 . In addition, the control unit 11 controls the communication unit 14 to transmit point information indicating that 100 points are associated with the user C to the participant terminal 40C.

<Effect of the fourth modification (1)>
In the fourth modified example (1), the set points are the expected number of participants input by the user R, the participant information (not limited, but the information of the participants entered based on the information for entering the participants is determined based on information on the number of participants based on (example).
As an example of the effect of such a configuration, all the points for the number of participants can be associated with the user, and the points can be reliably given. Moreover, the user R may be given more points, and points can be given according to the effort of the reservation.

<Fourth Modification (2)>
In the present embodiment, the control unit 11 of the server 10 associates the points so that the total points from the reservation are equally divided between the user R and the participants (users A and C), but it is sufficient if the points can be associated. It is not limited to this. By way of example and not limitation, the control unit 11 can associate points such that there are more points for user R than for the participants (users A and C).
As an example of the effect of such a configuration, it is possible to associate points at various ratios, such as giving 50 points to each of participants User A and User C, while giving 200 points to User R.

<Fourth modification (3)>
In this embodiment, after registering the participants of the reservation (B5), the control unit 11 of the server 10 equally divides the total points by the number of participants. 100 points were set for each of the three persons A and C), but it is not limited to this as long as points can be set.
As an example and not a limitation, the control unit 11 can also set fixed 100 points for each of the user R who participated in the reservation and the participants (users A and C). Thereby, the control unit 11 can associate the set 100 points with the user R and the participants (users A and C) respectively (B31).

<Fifth Embodiment>
In the fourth embodiment, the control unit 11 of the server 10 can also transmit information about the reservation to the reservation destination device 50 to which the reservation has been made.
In the fifth embodiment, the control unit 11 of the server 10 sends information based on the participant information to the reservation destination device 50 for which the reservation was made through the communication unit 14 after the reservation participant is registered (B5). This is an embodiment for controlling transmission. In addition, the same code|symbol is attached|subjected about the structure same as 4th Embodiment, and description for the second time is abbreviate|omitted.

<Information processing>
FIG. 23 is a flow chart showing an example of the flow of processing executed by each device in this embodiment. Note that step B5 is a step after the participant information is received from the representative terminal 20 or the participant terminal 40 .

First, as in the fourth embodiment, the control unit 11 of the server 10 stores the participant information of the user R and the participants (users A and C) received by the communication unit 14 in the storage unit 15, Register the participants of the reservation (B5).

Further, the control unit 11 controls the communication unit 14 to transmit reservation content information based on the participant information to the reservation destination device 50 to which the reservation has been made (B41). The reservation details information may include, by way of example and not limitation, the expected number of attendees entered by user R who made the reservation. When the reservation destination device 50 receives the reservation content information from the control unit 11, it stores the reservation information (D41). Then, the employee of the reservation destination provides the service based on the reservation content information stored in the reservation destination device 50. - 特許庁

Subsequently, the control unit 11 sets points to be associated with the registered user R and the participants (users A and C) based on the point setting conditions agreed upon in advance with the reservation store. Then, the control unit 11 requests the reservation destination device 50 to approve the association of the points with the user R and the participants (users A and C) (B42). As an example and not a limitation, the control unit 11 can request approval of the points after the reservation date and time has passed. As an example and not a limitation, if the reservation date and time is from 12:00 to 14:00 on April 2nd, the control unit 11 can request approval of the points after 14:00 on that day.

Here, an employee of the reservation destination confirms the number of participants (three users, user R, user A, and user C) who came to the store at the reservation date and time, and inputs the number of participants to the reservation destination device 50. . Upon receiving the point approval request from the server 10, the reservation destination device 50 determines whether or not the points set by the server 10 are appropriate based on the number of participants at the reservation date and time (D42). Then, if the points are appropriate, the reservation destination device 50 approves the association of the points with the user R and the participants (users A and C) (D43). In this way, points are set based on the number of participants input by the reservation destination (the number of participants who came to the store at the reservation date and time) and the number of participants based on the participant information (the number of participants registered in the server 10). .

Information of approval by the reservation destination device 50 is received by the communication unit 14 of the server 10 . As a result, the control unit 11 of the server 10 associates the set points with the user R and the participants (users A and C), respectively, in the same manner as in the fourth embodiment (B31). Then, the control unit 11 transmits point information indicating that points are associated with the participants (users A and C) to the participant terminals 40A and 40C through the communication unit 14 (B32). Further, the control unit 11 transmits point information indicating that the points are associated with the user R who made the reservation to the representative terminal 20 through the communication unit 14 (B32).

On the other hand, when the reservation destination device 50 determines that the points set by the server 10 are not appropriate (D42), as shown in FIG. ). Then, when the server 10 receives the request to change the participant information (B43), it checks the difference between the number of participants input by the reservation destination and the number of participants registered in the server 10, and if there is a difference Then, a request for changing the participant information is sent to the representative terminal 20 (B44). The change request transmitted from the server 10 is received by the representative terminal 20 (A41). For example, the communication unit 22 of the representative terminal 20 deletes the participants when the number of participants input by the reservation destination is less than the number of participants registered in the server 10 (the number of participants acquired by the participant information). receive information about

After confirming the request to change the participant information, the user R operates the representative terminal 20 to change the current participant information to the participant information of the participant who came to the store at the reservation date and time (A42). For example, when user C is absent at the reserved date and time, the control unit 21 of the representative terminal 20 deletes user C's participant information. Subsequently, the communication unit 22 of the representative terminal 20 transmits information regarding the deletion of the participant to the server 10 by the operation of the user R (A43).

When the control unit 11 of the server 10 receives the information about the deletion of the participant from the representative terminal 20, it again requests the reservation destination device 50 to approve the points (B42), and the reservation destination device 50 confirms that the points are appropriate. Steps D42, D44, B43, B44, A41, A42 and A43 are repeated until it is determined that As a result, the participant information of the user R and the user A who came to the store on the date and time of the visit is registered in the server 10 .

<Effects of the Fifth Embodiment>

<Information processing>
First, as shown in FIG. 28, similarly to the first embodiment, the control unit 11 of the server 10 stores the participant information of the user R and the participants (users A and C) received by the communication unit 14. It is stored in the part 15 and the participants of the reservation are registered (B5).

Subsequently, when user R wants to change the expected number of participants registered in server 10, user R operates representative terminal 20 to transmit new reservation information indicating the change in the expected number of participants to server 10 (A51). . When receiving new reservation information for changing the expected number of participants from the representative terminal 20, the control unit 11 of the server 10 transmits information for canceling the reservation to the reservation destination device 50 (B53). Upon receiving the information for canceling the reservation, the reservation destination device 50 cancels the reservation and transmits a completion notice indicating the completion of the cancellation to the server 10 (D51).

When receiving the cancellation completion notice from the reservation destination device 50, the control unit 11 of the server 10 determines whether the reservation destination can accept the scheduled number of participants changed by the user R based on the updated reservation destination information 152. is determined again (B54). At this time, it is assumed that the number of participants in the reservation has been changed by the user R from three to four. If the reservation destination can accept the changed expected number of four participants, the control unit 11 transmits a new reservation completion notification and participant input information to the representative terminal 20 (B55). As a non-limiting example, the control unit 11 transmits to the representative terminal 20 the participant input information in which all the participant information that was input before the change is deleted and a reservation completion notice.

As a result, the controller 21 of the representative terminal 20 receives, as shown in FIG. 29, the reservation completion notice indicating that the number of persons reserved has been changed to four, and the new participant input information from the server 10. (A52). When the user R presses the select button 62a, an add button 65 for adding a participant is displayed on the display unit 24. FIG. By pressing the add button 65, the participant input information 63, which is a list of user information, is displayed on the display unit 24, and three participants are entered as participants, as in the first embodiment. It becomes possible to input to the use information 63 .

For example, as shown in FIG. 30, when the group X is positioned below the group Y, the control unit 21 controls the group X to be displayed at the top.

Subsequently, the user R re-enters the user's participant information into the participant input information received from the server 10 (A53), and returns the new participant information to the server 10 (A54). When receiving the new participant information from the representative terminal 20 (B56), the control unit 11 of the server 10 stores the changed participant information of the user in the storage unit 15, and the participant of the reservation is renewed. It is registered (B57).

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 31, when the reservation destination cannot accept the changed expected number of participants in step B54, the control unit 11 transmits to the representative terminal 20 a reservation impossibility notification indicating that the reservation cannot be made.

<Effects of the sixth embodiment>
In the sixth embodiment, when the control unit 11 of the server 10 receives information for changing the expected number of participants, after canceling the reservation, the control unit 11 controls to enable the change registration of the participants.
As an example of the effect of such a configuration, since the reservation is once canceled, it is possible to appropriately change the registration of the participants according to the number of people that can be accepted by the reservation destination.

Further, in the sixth embodiment, the control unit 21 of the representative terminal 20 controls to display the information of the group including the participant of the previously registered reservation at the top of the list of the participant input information 63 .
As an example of the effect of such a configuration, the user R can easily change the participants of the reservation.

<Sixth modification (1)>
In this embodiment, the control unit 11 of the server 10 cancels the reservation and changes the participants in step B53 shown in FIG. 28, but it is not limited to this as long as the participants can be changed. The control unit 11 can perform control to enable participant change registration without canceling the reservation.

For example, when user R wants to change the expected number of participants registered in server 10, user R presses selection button 62a shown in FIG. Let By pressing the participant input button 64 of the participant whose reservation is to be changed, the participant can be added or deleted.

When the user R completes changing the participants, the controller 21 of the representative terminal 20 transmits the participant information to the server 10 . Then, when the control unit 11 of the server 10 receives the participant information from the representative terminal 20 (B56), it newly stores the participant information in the storage unit 15. FIG. As a result, the reservation participant is changed and registered (B57).

It should be noted that the control unit 11 may or may not perform the process of step B55 shown in FIG. 28 when the participant's change registration is performed without canceling the reservation.
