Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to enable appropriate determination of the priority of a facility. An information processing device acquires, for each facility, a reference provided number with respect to reservation objects to be provided to a reservation system in a predetermined period in the future. The information processing device acquires, from a storage means in which the number of the reservation objects, facility identification information identifying the facilities, and the provided timing of the reservation objects are stored in association with one another, the number of the reservation objects provided to the reservation system as the provided number of the reservation objects in the predetermined period for each facility. The information processing device further determines priority of each facility on the basis of the adequacy ratio of the provided number relative to the reference provided number.

　しかしながら、ある施設に対する過去の評価が高かったとしても、その施設が将来十分な数の予約対象を予約システムに提供することができるとは限らない。この場合、評価が高い施設に関する情報を優先的に提示しても、その施設に対する予約数が伸びない。また、相対的に低い優先度が決定された他の施設に関する情報へのアクセス数が伸びない。そのため、他の施設に対する予約数も伸びない。 However, even if the evaluation of a certain facility in the past is high, the facility cannot always provide a sufficient number of reservation objects in the future to the reservation system. In this case, the number of reservations for the facility does not increase even if information on the highly evaluated facility is preferentially presented. In addition, the number of accesses to information on other facilities for which a relatively low priority is determined does not increase. Therefore, the number of reservations for other facilities does not increase.

Software such as a browser and an e-mail client is incorporated in the user terminal 3. As the user terminal 3, for example, a personal computer, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a portable information terminal such as a smartphone, a mobile phone, or the like is used.
　以上のような構成の情報処理システムＳにおいて、宿泊施設の提供者は、宿泊施設端末２を操作することにより、宿泊施設内にある客室の中から、情報処理システムＳに提供する客室の数を登録する。宿泊施設から情報処理システムＳに提供される客室の数を、提供数という。提供数は、所定期間の単位で登録される。この期間は、例えば、１日であってもよい。また、この期間は、例えば１週間、１ヶ月等であってもよい。宿泊施設予約サーバ１は、提供数の範囲内で、ユーザから客室の予約を受け付けることができる。予約されている客室の数を、予約数という。 In the information processing system S configured as described above, the provider of the accommodation facility operates the accommodation facility terminal 2 to determine the number of rooms to be provided to the information processing system S from among the rooms in the accommodation facility. sign up. The number of guest rooms provided from the accommodation facility to the information processing system S is referred to as the provided number. The provided number is registered in units of a predetermined period. This period may be one day, for example. Further, this period may be, for example, one week, one month, or the like. The accommodation facility reservation server 1 can accept a room reservation from the user within the range of the number of provisions. The number of reserved rooms is called the number of reservations.
　ある宿泊施設がユーザからの評価や人気が高くても、その宿泊施設からの客室の提供数が十分ではないと、予約数が提供数に達しやすい。そのため、その宿泊施設の客室を予約することができない場合がある。複数の宿泊施設の中で、提供数が十分ではない宿泊施設に関する情報が優先的にユーザに提示されても、その宿泊施設の予約数が伸びない。提供数が十分ではない宿泊施設に関する情報が優先的に提示される結果、他の宿泊施設に関する情報の提示の優先度が相対的に低くなる。そのため、他の宿泊施設に関する情報へのアクセス数が伸びず、他の宿泊施設の予約数も伸びない。また例えば、提供数が十分ではない宿泊施設に関する情報を見たユーザは別の宿泊施設に関する情報を見るために、ユーザ端末３から宿泊施設予約サーバ１へ情報の要求が送信されることがある。この場合、宿泊施設予約サーバ１への要求が増えるため、通信負荷が増大したり、宿泊施設予約サーバ１の処理負荷が増大したりする。 Even if an accommodation facility is highly evaluated and popular with users, if the number of rooms provided by the accommodation facility is not sufficient, the number of reservations can easily reach the number provided. Therefore, there are cases where it is not possible to reserve a room for the accommodation facility. Even if information regarding an accommodation facility that is not sufficiently provided among a plurality of accommodation facilities is preferentially presented to the user, the number of reservations for the accommodation facility does not increase. As a result of preferentially presenting information on accommodation facilities for which the number of provisions is not sufficient, the priority of presentation of information on other accommodation facilities is relatively low. Therefore, the number of accesses to information on other accommodation facilities does not increase, and the number of reservations for other accommodation facilities does not increase. Further, for example, a user who has seen information on an accommodation facility whose provision number is not sufficient may transmit a request for information from the user terminal 3 to the accommodation facility reservation server 1 in order to view information on another accommodation facility. In this case, since the request to the accommodation facility reservation server 1 increases, the communication load increases or the processing load of the accommodation facility reservation server 1 increases.
　情報処理システムＳにおいて、全体的な予約数を向上させるため、宿泊施設ごとに割当数が設定される。割当数は、宿泊施設から登録される提供数に対して基準となる数である。割当数は、本発明における基準提供数の一例である。割当数は、例えば、提供数の目標値であってもよい。割当数は、例えば、情報処理システムＳの管理者により設定されてもよいし、宿泊施設予約サーバ１により設定されてもよい。宿泊施設予約サーバ１は、将来の提供数を割当数で割ることにより、割当数に対する提供数の充足率を宿泊施設ごとに計算する。そして、宿泊施設予約サーバ１は、充足率に基づいて、優先度を宿泊施設ごとに決定する。例えば、宿泊施設予約サーバ１は、充足率が高いほど、高い優先度を決定する。なお、提供数、割当数、及び優先度は、宿泊施設から提供される宿泊プランごとに登録、設定又は決定されてもよい。割当数の設定、及び優先度の決定の詳細は後述する。 In the information processing system S, an allocation number is set for each accommodation facility in order to improve the total number of reservations. The allocated number is a number that serves as a reference with respect to the provided number registered from the accommodation facility. The number of allocations is an example of the reference provision number in the present invention. The number of allocations may be a target value of the number of provisions, for example. For example, the number of allocations may be set by an administrator of the information processing system S or may be set by the accommodation facility reservation server 1. The accommodation facility reservation server 1 calculates the satisfaction rate of the provided number with respect to the assigned number for each accommodation facility by dividing the future provided number by the assigned number. And the accommodation establishment reservation server 1 determines a priority for every accommodation establishment based on a fullness rate. For example, the accommodation facility reservation server 1 determines a higher priority as the satisfaction rate is higher. The provided number, the assigned number, and the priority may be registered, set, or determined for each accommodation plan provided from the accommodation facility. Details of setting the number of allocations and determining priority will be described later.

Details of system control function]
Next, the function of the system control unit 14 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2B is a diagram illustrating an example of functional blocks of the system control unit 14 of the accommodation facility reservation server 1 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2B, the system control unit 14 reads and executes a program such as an accommodation facility reservation management program by the CPU 14a, so that an allocation number setting unit 141, a result acquisition unit 142, and a satisfaction rate calculation unit 143 are obtained. , Function as a priority determination unit 144, an information provision unit 145, and the like. The allocation number setting unit 141 is an example of a reference provision number setting unit in the present invention. The performance acquisition unit 142 is an example of a reservation number acquisition unit and a second provision number acquisition unit in the present invention. The fullness rate calculation unit 143 is an example of a reference provision number acquisition unit and a provision number acquisition unit in the present invention. The priority determination unit 144 is an example of a determination unit in the present invention.
　割当数設定部１４１は、将来の日に対する割当数を宿泊施設ごとに設定し、割当数を割当数ＤＢ１２ｄに登録する。割当数設定部１４１は、例えば所定の期間ごとに割当数を決定する。例えば、割当数設定部１４１は、１日ごとに割当数を設定してもよいし、１週間、１ヶ月等、所定の期間ごとに割当数を設定してもよい。割当数が対応付けられる将来の日を、割当数設定対象日という。割当数設定対象日は、例えば、今日から所定日数後の日であってもよい。例えば、割当数設定対象日は、客室が予約可能な期間よりも後の日であってもよい。この場合、宿泊施設の提供者は客室が予約可能となる前に、割当数を確認することができる。また例えば、割当数設定対象日は、客室が予約可能な期間内の何れかの日であってもよい。 The assigned number setting unit 141 sets the assigned number for the future day for each accommodation facility, and registers the assigned number in the assigned number DB 12d. The allocation number setting unit 141 determines the allocation number for each predetermined period, for example. For example, the allocation number setting unit 141 may set the allocation number every day or may set the allocation number every predetermined period such as one week or one month. The future date with which the allocation number is associated is referred to as the allocation number setting target date. The allocation number setting target day may be a day after a predetermined number of days from today, for example. For example, the allocation number setting target day may be a day after a period in which the guest room can be reserved. In this case, the provider of the accommodation facility can confirm the allocated number before the room can be reserved. Further, for example, the allocation number setting target day may be any day within a period in which the guest room can be reserved.
　割当数設定部１４１は、例えば、客室の予約の実績に基づいて割当数を設定してもよい。予約の実績として、例えば、予約確定数がある。予約確定数は、予約された客室のうち、予約が確定した客室の数である。予約が確定した客室は、予約したユーザが実際に利用した客室を含む。また、予約が確定した客室は、例えば予約したユーザが客室を利用していなくても、予約をキャンセルことができなくなった客室を含んでもよい。また、チェックイン日が到来していなくても、予約が確定してもよい。例えば、予約が確定した客室は、予約をキャンセルする場合、ユーザがキャンセル料を支払う必要がある客室を含んでもよい。予約が確定する日を、予約確定日という。予約確定日は、例えば、チェックイン日であってもよいし、チェックイン日の所定日数前の日であってもよい。割当数設定部１４１は、例えば、予約確定数が多いほど、多い割当数を設定してもよい。その理由は、予約確定数が多いほど、将来の予約数も多い蓋然性があるからである。例えば、記憶部１２に、予約確定数と割当数とを対応付けた割当数テーブルが記憶されてもよい。割当数設定部１４１は、割当数テーブルを用いて割当数を設定してもよい。 The allocation number setting unit 141 may set the allocation number based on, for example, the reservation results of guest rooms. As a track record of reservation, for example, there is a fixed number of reservations. The number of confirmed reservations is the number of guest rooms that have been confirmed among the reserved rooms. The guest room for which the reservation is confirmed includes a guest room actually used by the reserved user. In addition, the guest rooms for which the reservation is confirmed may include, for example, a guest room whose reservation cannot be canceled even if the user who made the reservation does not use the guest room. In addition, the reservation may be confirmed even if the check-in date has not arrived. For example, the rooms for which the reservation has been confirmed may include rooms for which the user needs to pay a cancellation fee when canceling the reservation. The date on which the reservation is confirmed is called the reservation confirmation date. The reservation confirmation date may be, for example, a check-in date, or a date that is a predetermined number of days before the check-in date. For example, the allocation number setting unit 141 may set a larger allocation number as the number of confirmed reservations is larger. The reason is that as the number of confirmed reservations is larger, there is a probability that the number of future reservations is larger. For example, the storage unit 12 may store an allocation number table in which the reservation fixed number and the allocation number are associated with each other. The allocation number setting unit 141 may set the allocation number using an allocation number table.
　割当数設定部１４１は、例えば、客室の予約の実績と、宿泊施設からの客室の提供の実績とに基づいて、割当数を設定してもよい。客室の提供の実績として、例えば、過去の客室の提供数がある。例えば、割当数設定部１４１は、過去の１日当たりの提供数を、１日当たりの予約確定数で割ることにより、稼働率を計算する。例えば、稼働率が１００％である場合、割当数設定部１４１は、過去の提供数よりも多い割当数を設定してもよい。その理由は、客室が不足しているからである。稼働率が１００％未満である場合、割当数設定部１４１は、例えば、過去の提供数と同一の割当数を設定してもよい。 The allocation number setting unit 141 may set the allocation number based on, for example, the reservation results of guest rooms and the actual results of provision of guest rooms from accommodation facilities. For example, the number of guest rooms provided in the past is an example of the number of guest rooms provided. For example, the allocation number setting unit 141 calculates the operation rate by dividing the past number of provisions per day by the number of confirmed reservations per day. For example, when the operation rate is 100%, the allocation number setting unit 141 may set a larger allocation number than the past provision number. The reason is that there is a shortage of guest rooms. When the operating rate is less than 100%, the allocation number setting unit 141 may set, for example, the same allocation number as the past provision number.
　実績取得部１４２は、宿泊施設ごとの予約確定数を予約数ＤＢ１２ｆから取得する。実績取得部１４２は、例えば、予約が確定している所定期間の予約数の合計を、予約確定数として取得する。この期間を実績期間という。実績期間は、本発明における第２所定期間の一例である。実績期間の日数は、例えば１日以上であればよい。また、実績取得部１４２は、宿泊施設ごとの過去の提供数を空席数ＤＢ１２ｅ及び予約数ＤＢ１２ｆから取得する。例えば、実績取得部１４２は、実績期間の空席数と予約数との合計を、過去の提供数として取得する。なお、実績取得部１４２は、予約数ＤＢ１２ｆを用いる代わりに、予約情報ＤＢ１２ｇを用いて予約数を取得してもよい。例えば、実績取得部１４２は、予約情報ＤＢ１２ｇに登録された宿泊施設ＩＤ、チェックイン日、チェックアウト日及び部屋数に基づいて、予約数を計算してもよい。割当数設定部１４１は、実績取得部１４２により取得された予約確定数及び提供数を用いて割当数を設定する。なお、情報処理システムＳの管理者が割当数を設定する場合、割当数設定部１４１及び実績取得部１４２は不要である。 The achievement acquisition unit 142 acquires the number of confirmed reservations for each accommodation facility from the reservation number DB 12f. The actual result acquisition unit 142 acquires, for example, the total number of reservations for a predetermined period in which reservations are confirmed as the number of reservation reservations. This period is called a performance period. The performance period is an example of a second predetermined period in the present invention. The number of days in the performance period may be, for example, one day or more. In addition, the result acquisition unit 142 acquires the past provision number for each accommodation facility from the vacant seat number DB 12e and the reservation number DB 12f. For example, the performance acquisition unit 142 acquires the total of the number of vacant seats and the number of reservations in the performance period as the past provision number. Note that the performance acquisition unit 142 may acquire the reservation number using the reservation information DB 12g instead of using the reservation number DB 12f. For example, the result acquisition unit 142 may calculate the number of reservations based on the accommodation facility ID, the check-in date, the check-out date, and the number of rooms registered in the reservation information DB 12g. The allocation number setting unit 141 sets the allocation number using the reservation fixed number and the provision number acquired by the result acquisition unit 142. When the administrator of the information processing system S sets the allocation number, the allocation number setting unit 141 and the result acquisition unit 142 are not necessary.
　充足率計算部１４３は、割当数に対する提供数の充足率を宿泊施設ごとに計算する。そのため、充足率計算部１４３は、宿泊施設ごとに、将来の所定期間の客室の提供数を、空席数ＤＢ１２ｅ及び予約数ＤＢ１２ｆから取得する。この期間を、評価期間という。評価期間は、本発明における将来の所定期間の一例である。評価期間の初日は、例えば明日以降の何れかの日であればよい。評価期間の末日は、例えば、客室が予約可能な期間内の何れかの日であってもよいし、客室が予約可能な期間より後の何れかの日であってもよい。評価期間の日数は、例えば１日以上であればよい。評価期間の日数と実績期間の日数は同一であってもよいし、異なっていてもよい。充足率計算部１４３は、例えば、評価期間の空席数と予約数との合計を提供数として計算する。なお、充足率計算部１４３は、予約数ＤＢ１２ｆを用いる代わりに、予約情報ＤＢ１２ｇを用いて予約数を取得してもよい。ところで、ある日の提供数がその日の割当数よりも多い場合がある。この場合、充足率計算部１４３は、提供数を割当数に一致させる。その理由は、提供数が割当数をどの程度充足しているかを充足率により示すためである。そのため、充足率計算部１４３は、割当数ＤＢ１２ｄから割当数を取得する。充足率計算部１４３は、例えば日ごとに計算した提供数の合計を、将来の提供数として計算する。 Satisfaction rate calculation unit 143 calculates the satisfaction rate of the provided number with respect to the allocated number for each accommodation facility. Therefore, the sufficiency rate calculation unit 143 acquires the number of guest rooms provided for a predetermined period in the future from the vacant seat number DB 12e and the reservation number DB 12f for each accommodation facility. This period is called an evaluation period. The evaluation period is an example of a predetermined period in the present invention. The first day of the evaluation period may be any day after tomorrow, for example. The last day of the evaluation period may be, for example, any day within a period during which the guest room can be reserved, or any day after the period during which the guest room can be reserved. The number of days in the evaluation period may be one day or more, for example. The number of days in the evaluation period and the number of days in the performance period may be the same or different. The fullness rate calculation unit 143 calculates, for example, the total of the number of vacant seats and the number of reservations in the evaluation period as the number of provisions. In addition, the fullness rate calculation unit 143 may acquire the number of reservations using the reservation information DB 12g instead of using the reservation number DB 12f. By the way, the number of provisions on a certain day may be larger than the number of allocations on that day. In this case, the sufficiency rate calculation unit 143 matches the provided number with the allocated number. The reason is that the satisfaction rate indicates how much the provision number satisfies the allocation number. Therefore, the fullness rate calculation unit 143 acquires the allocation number from the allocation number DB 12d. The fullness rate calculation unit 143 calculates, for example, the total number of provisions calculated every day as the number of provisions in the future.
　優先度決定部１４４は、充足率計算部１４３により計算された充足率に基づいて、宿泊施設ごとの優先度を決定する。具体的に、優先度決定部１４４は、充足率が高いほど、高い優先度を決定する。優先度の値が小さいほど、優先度が高い。例えば優先度１が最も優先度が高い。優先度の個数は任意である。記憶部１２には、例えば、優先度ごとに、充足率に対する閾値と優先度とを対応付けた充足率閾値テーブルが記憶されてもよい。優先度が高いほど、閾値も高い。充足率に対する閾値は、本発明における基準値の一例である。この閾値は、例えば情報処理システムＳの管理者により予め設定されてもよい。優先度決定部１４４は、充足率閾値テーブルを用いて優先度を決定してもよい。優先度決定部１４４は、例えば優先度を用いる処理が実行されるときに優先度を決定してもよい。また、優先度決定部１４４は、例えば所定の期間ごとに優先度を決定してもよい。そして、優先度決定部１４４は、決定した優先度をデータベースに登録しておいてもよい。 The priority determination unit 144 determines the priority for each accommodation facility based on the fullness rate calculated by the fullness rate calculation unit 143. Specifically, the priority determination unit 144 determines a higher priority as the satisfaction rate is higher. The smaller the priority value, the higher the priority. For example, priority 1 is the highest priority. The number of priorities is arbitrary. The storage unit 12 may store, for example, a fullness rate threshold table in which a threshold for a fullness rate is associated with a priority for each priority. The higher the priority, the higher the threshold. The threshold value for the sufficiency rate is an example of a reference value in the present invention. This threshold value may be set in advance by an administrator of the information processing system S, for example. The priority determination part 144 may determine a priority using a fullness rate threshold value table. For example, the priority determination unit 144 may determine the priority when processing using the priority is executed. Moreover, the priority determination part 144 may determine a priority for every predetermined period, for example. The priority determination unit 144 may register the determined priority in the database.
　情報提供部１４５は、優先度決定部１４４により決定された優先度に基づいて、宿泊施設に関する情報の提示を制御する。具体的に、情報提供部１４５は、優先度が高い宿泊施設に関する情報ほど、優先的に表示させる。例えば、情報提供部１４５は、検索結果ページを生成する。このとき、情報提供部１４５は、検索された宿泊施設の表示順位を決定する。表示順位は、ウェブページ内において、宿泊施設に関する情報が表示される順番を示す。表示順位が高いほど、宿泊施設に関する情報がユーザにとって見やすい。情報提供部１４５は、優先度が高い宿泊施設であるほど、高い表示順位を決定する。 The information providing unit 145 controls the presentation of information regarding the accommodation facility based on the priority determined by the priority determining unit 144. Specifically, the information providing unit 145 preferentially displays the information related to the accommodation facility having a higher priority. For example, the information providing unit 145 generates a search result page. At this time, the information providing unit 145 determines the display order of the searched accommodation facilities. The display order indicates the order in which information about accommodation facilities is displayed in the web page. The higher the display order, the easier it is for the user to see information about the accommodation facility. The information providing unit 145 determines a higher display order as the accommodation facility has a higher priority.
　また例えば、情報提供部１４５は、宿泊施設予約サイトのウェブページ内に、宿泊施設に関する広告コンテンツを１又は複数表示させる。例えば、記憶部１２には、広告ＤＢが格納されている。広告ＤＢには、宿泊施設ごと又は宿泊プランごとに広告コンテンツが登録されている。ウェブページ内に広告コンテンツを表示するとき、ユーザ端末３は、宿泊施設予約サーバ１へ広告要求を送信する。情報提供部１４５は、広告要求に基づいて、表示候補となる広告コンテンツの宿泊施設を複数決定する。次いで、情報提供部１４５は、例えば、決定した各宿泊施設の表示順位を決定する。このとき、情報提供部１４５は、優先度が高い宿泊施設であるほど、高い表示順位を決定する。そして、決定した表示順位で各宿泊施設が広告コンテンツをユーザ端末３が表示するように、情報提供部１４５は広告コンテンツをユーザ端末３へ送信する。或いは、情報提供部１４５は、例えば、優先度が最も高い宿泊施設又は優先度が相対的に高い所定数の宿泊施設を決定してもよい。そして、情報提供部１４５は、決定した１又は複数の宿泊施設の広告コンテンツをユーザ端末３へ送信して、ユーザ端末３に広告コンテンツを表示させてもよい。 Also, for example, the information providing unit 145 displays one or a plurality of advertisement contents regarding the accommodation facility in the web page of the accommodation facility reservation site. For example, the storage unit 12 stores an advertisement DB. In the advertisement DB, advertisement contents are registered for each accommodation facility or each accommodation plan. When displaying the advertisement content in the web page, the user terminal 3 transmits an advertisement request to the accommodation facility reservation server 1. Based on the advertisement request, the information providing unit 145 determines a plurality of accommodation facilities for the advertisement content as display candidates. Next, the information providing unit 145 determines the display order of each determined accommodation facility, for example. At this time, the information providing unit 145 determines a higher display rank as the accommodation facility has a higher priority. Then, the information providing unit 145 transmits the advertising content to the user terminal 3 so that each accommodation facility displays the advertising content in the determined display order. Or the information provision part 145 may determine the accommodation facility with the highest priority, or the predetermined number of accommodation facilities with a relatively high priority, for example. And the information provision part 145 may transmit the advertising content of the determined 1 or several accommodation establishment to the user terminal 3, and may display an advertising content on the user terminal 3. FIG.
　なお、割当数設定部１４１～情報提供部１４５は、宿泊施設から提供される宿泊プランごとに処理を行ってもよい。すなわち、充足率計算部１４３は、宿泊プランごとの割当数と提供数とに基づいて充足数を計算する。優先度決定部１４４は、宿泊プランごとの優先度を決定する。 Note that the allocation number setting unit 141 to the information providing unit 145 may perform processing for each accommodation plan provided from the accommodation facility. That is, the sufficiency rate calculation unit 143 calculates the sufficiency number based on the allocation number and the provision number for each accommodation plan. The priority determination part 144 determines the priority for every accommodation plan.
　また、システム制御部１４は、優先度を用いて、例えば宿泊施設から情報処理システムＳへ支払う手数料率を、宿泊施設ごとに決定してもよい。手数料率は、例えば、宿泊施設の売り上げに対して情報処理システムＳに支払う金額の割合である。例えば、システム制御部１４は、優先度が高いほど、低い手数料率を決定してもよい。この場合、充足率計算部１４３は、例えば１日ごとに、宿泊施設ごとの評価期間の割当数と提供数とを取得してもよい。充足率計算部１４３は、取得した割当数と提供数とを所定のデータベースに登録する。充足率計算部１４３は、例えば１ヶ月ごとに、過去１ヶ月の間の１日ごとの割当数と提供数とをそれぞれ合計する。充足率計算部１４３は、提供数の合計を割当数の合計で割ることにより、宿泊施設ごとの充足率を計算する。優先度決定部１４４は、この充足率を用いて優先度を決定し、システム制御部１４は、この優先度を用いて手数料率を決定する。優先度を用いて手数料率を決定する場合、システム制御部１４は、例えば宿泊施設に関する情報を優先度を用いて制御しなくてもよい。 Further, the system control unit 14 may determine, for each accommodation facility, a fee rate paid from the accommodation facility to the information processing system S, for example, using the priority. The fee rate is, for example, the ratio of the amount paid to the information processing system S for the sales of accommodation facilities. For example, the system control unit 14 may determine a lower fee rate as the priority is higher. In this case, the fullness rate calculation unit 143 may acquire the number of allocations and the number of provisions for the evaluation period for each accommodation facility, for example, every day. The fullness rate calculation unit 143 registers the acquired allocation number and provision number in a predetermined database. The fullness rate calculation unit 143 sums the number of allocations and the number of provisions for each day during the past month, for example, every month. The fullness rate calculation unit 143 calculates the fullness rate for each accommodation facility by dividing the total number of provisions by the total number of allocations. The priority determination unit 144 determines the priority using this satisfaction rate, and the system control unit 14 determines the fee rate using this priority. When determining the fee rate using the priority, the system control unit 14 does not have to control the information related to the accommodation facility using the priority, for example.
［１－４．情報処理システムの動作］
　次に、情報処理システムＳの動作について、図４乃至図７を用いて説明する。 [1-4. Operation of information processing system]
Next, the operation of the information processing system S will be described with reference to FIGS.
　図４は、本実施形態に係る情報処理システムＳの動作の一例を示すシーケンス図である。図４に示すように、宿泊施設予約サーバ１の割当数設定部１４１は、割当数設定処理を実行する（ステップＳ１）。割当数設定処理において、割当数設定部１４１は、割当数を宿泊施設ごとに設定する。割当数設定処理の詳細は後述する。 FIG. 4 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the operation of the information processing system S according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, the allocation number setting unit 141 of the accommodation facility reservation server 1 executes an allocation number setting process (step S1). In the allocation number setting process, the allocation number setting unit 141 sets the allocation number for each accommodation facility. Details of the allocation number setting process will be described later.
　その後、宿泊施設の提供者は、宿泊施設端末２を操作して、将来の日に対する提供数を入力する。このとき、提供者が２日以上の期間を指定した提供数が入力可能になっていてもよい。また、宿泊施設端末２は、宿泊施設予約サーバ１が設定した割当数を画面に表示してもよい。宿泊施設端末２は、入力された提供数、将来の日付、及び提供者に対応する宿泊施設ＩＤを宿泊施設予約サーバ１へ送信する（ステップＳ２）。システム制御部１４は、受信した提供数、日付及び宿泊施設ＩＤを対応付けて空室ＤＢ１２ｅに登録する（ステップＳ３）。このとき、システム制御部１４は、提供数を空室数として登録する。 Thereafter, the provider of the accommodation facility operates the accommodation facility terminal 2 and inputs the number of provisions for a future day. At this time, the number of provisions for which the provider has specified a period of two days or more may be input. The accommodation facility terminal 2 may display the number of allocations set by the accommodation facility reservation server 1 on the screen. The accommodation facility terminal 2 transmits the input provision number, future date, and accommodation facility ID corresponding to the provider to the accommodation facility reservation server 1 (step S2). The system control unit 14 registers the received provision number, date, and accommodation facility ID in the vacancy DB 12e in association with each other (step S3). At this time, the system control unit 14 registers the provided number as the vacant number.
　その後、ユーザが予約の操作を行うことにより、ユーザ端末３は宿泊施設予約サーバ１へ予約要求を送信する（ステップＳ４）。予約要求は、予約される宿泊施設の宿泊施設ＩＤ、チェックイン日、チェックアウト日、部屋数等を含む。システム制御部１４は、予約要求に含まれる情報に基づいて、空室数ＤＢ１２ｅ及び予約数ＤＢ１２ｆを更新する（ステップＳ５）。具体的に、システム制御部１４は、宿泊施設ＩＤに対応付けて空室数ＤＢ１２ｅに登録されている空室数のうち、チェックイン日からチェックアウト日の前日までに対応する空室数を検索する。そして、システム制御部１４は、検索した空室数から部屋数を減算する。また、システム制御部１４は、宿泊施設ＩＤに対応付けて予約数ＤＢ１２ｆに登録されている予約数のうち、チェックイン日からチェックアウト日の前日までに対応する予約数を検索する。そして、システム制御部１４は、検索した予約数に部屋数を加算する。 Thereafter, when the user performs a reservation operation, the user terminal 3 transmits a reservation request to the accommodation facility reservation server 1 (step S4). The reservation request includes the accommodation facility ID of the accommodation facility to be reserved, the check-in date, the check-out date, the number of rooms, and the like. The system control unit 14 updates the vacancy number DB 12e and the reservation number DB 12f based on the information included in the reservation request (step S5). Specifically, the system control unit 14 searches for the number of vacancies corresponding to the accommodation facility ID from the check-in date to the day before the check-out date among the vacancies registered in the vacancy number DB 12e. To do. Then, the system control unit 14 subtracts the number of rooms from the searched number of vacancies. Moreover, the system control unit 14 searches for the number of reservations corresponding to the day before the check-out date from the check-in date among the reservation numbers registered in the reservation number DB 12f in association with the accommodation facility ID. Then, the system control unit 14 adds the number of rooms to the searched number of reservations.
　その後、ユーザの操作に基づき、ユーザ端末２が宿泊施設予約サーバ１へ検索要求を送信する（ステップＳ６）。すると、情報提供部１４５は、検索処理を実行する（ステップＳ７）。具体的に、情報提供部１４５は、宿泊施設情報ＤＢ１２ｂ及びプラン情報ＤＢ１２ｃに基づいて、検索要求に含まれる検索条件情報が示す条件を満たす宿泊プランのプランＩＤ及びその宿泊プランを提供する宿泊施設の宿泊施設ＩＤを検索する。このとき、情報提供部１４５は、空室数ＤＢ１２ｅを参照して、検索条件として指定されたチェックイン日からチェックアウト日の前日までの期間の空室数が、検索条件として指定された部屋数以上である宿泊施設ＩＤを検索する。情報提供部１４５は、検索したプランＩＤ及び宿泊施設ＩＤを登録した検索結果リストを生成する。 Then, based on the user's operation, the user terminal 2 transmits a search request to the accommodation facility reservation server 1 (step S6). Then, the information provision part 145 performs a search process (step S7). Specifically, based on the accommodation facility information DB 12b and the plan information DB 12c, the information providing unit 145 includes the plan ID of the accommodation plan that satisfies the conditions indicated by the search condition information included in the search request and the accommodation facility that provides the accommodation plan. Search for accommodation ID. At this time, the information providing unit 145 refers to the vacancy number DB 12e, and the number of vacancies in the period from the check-in date specified as the search condition to the day before the check-out date is the number of rooms specified as the search condition. The accommodation facility ID as described above is searched. The information providing unit 145 generates a search result list in which the searched plan ID and accommodation facility ID are registered.
　検索処理を終えると、優先度決定部１４４は、順序番号ｉを１に設定する（ステップＳ８）。次いで、充足率計算部１４３は、充足率計算処理を実行する（ステップＳ９）。充足率計算処理において、充足率計算部１４３は、検索結果リストにおいてｉ番目に登録されている宿泊施設ＩＤに対応する宿泊施設について、充足率を計算する。充足率計算処理の詳細は後述する。次いで、優先度決定部１４４は、優先度決定処理を実行する（ステップＳ１０）。優先度決定処理において、優先度決定部１４４は、充足率計算処理で計算された充足率に基づいて、ｉ番目の宿泊施設ＩＤに対応する宿泊施設の優先度を決定する。優先度決定処理の詳細は後述する。次いで、優先度決定部１４４は、順序番号ｉが検索件数の値未満であるか否かを判定する（ステップＳ１１）。検索件数は、検索された宿泊施設ＩＤの数である。このとき、優先度決定部１４４は、順序番号ｉが検索件数の値未満であると判定した場合には（ステップＳ１１：ＹＥＳ）、ステップＳ１２に進む。ステップＳ１２において、優先度決定部１４４は、順序番号ｉに１を加算する。次いで、優先度決定部１４４は、ステップＳ９に進む。一方、優先度決定部１４４は、順序番号ｉが検索件数の値未満ではないと判定した場合には（ステップＳ１１：ＮＯ）、ステップＳ１３に進む。 When the search process is completed, the priority determination unit 144 sets the sequence number i to 1 (step S8). Subsequently, the fullness rate calculation part 143 performs a fullness rate calculation process (step S9). In the fullness rate calculation process, the fullness rate calculation unit 143 calculates the fullness rate for the accommodation facility corresponding to the accommodation facility ID registered in the i-th place in the search result list. Details of the fullness calculation process will be described later. Subsequently, the priority determination part 144 performs a priority determination process (step S10). In the priority determination process, the priority determination unit 144 determines the priority of the accommodation facility corresponding to the i-th accommodation facility ID based on the satisfaction rate calculated in the satisfaction rate calculation process. Details of the priority determination process will be described later. Next, the priority determination unit 144 determines whether or not the sequence number i is less than the value of the search number (step S11). The number of searches is the number of searched accommodation facility IDs. At this time, if the priority determination unit 144 determines that the sequence number i is less than the value of the number of search cases (step S11: YES), the priority determination unit 144 proceeds to step S12. In step S12, the priority determination unit 144 adds 1 to the sequence number i. Next, the priority determination unit 144 proceeds to step S9. On the other hand, when the priority determination unit 144 determines that the sequence number i is not less than the value of the number of search cases (step S11: NO), the priority determination unit 144 proceeds to step S13.
　ステップＳ１３において、情報提供部１４５は、優先度決定処理で決定された優先度に基づいて、検索結果リストに登録された各宿泊施設ＩＤに対応する表示順位を決定する。具体的に、情報提供部１４５は、優先度が高いほど、高い表示順位を決定する。次いで、情報提供部１４５は、宿泊施設情報ＤＢ１２ｂ及びプラン情報ＤＢ１２ｃに基づいて、検索結果ページのＨＴＭＬ文書を生成する（ステップＳ１４）。具体的に、情報提供部１４５は、宿泊施設名、宿泊施設の紹介、宿泊施設の住所、宿泊プランの名称、宿泊プランの内容、料金等の情報を、ＨＴＭＬ文書に追加する。このとき、情報提供部１４５は、表示順位が高い宿泊施設ほど検索結果ページの上部に情報が表示されるように、情報を追加する。そして、情報提供部１４５は、生成したＨＴＭＬ文書をユーザ端末３へ送信する（ステップＳ１５）。ユーザ端末３は、受信したＨＴＭＬ文書に基づいて、検索結果ページを画面に表示する（ステップＳ１６）。 In step S13, the information providing unit 145 determines a display order corresponding to each accommodation facility ID registered in the search result list based on the priority determined in the priority determination process. Specifically, the information providing unit 145 determines a higher display order as the priority is higher. Next, the information providing unit 145 generates an HTML document of the search result page based on the accommodation facility information DB 12b and the plan information DB 12c (step S14). Specifically, the information providing unit 145 adds information such as the name of the accommodation facility, the introduction of the accommodation facility, the address of the accommodation facility, the name of the accommodation plan, the contents of the accommodation plan, and the charge to the HTML document. At this time, the information providing unit 145 adds information so that the higher the display order, the more information is displayed at the top of the search result page. Then, the information providing unit 145 transmits the generated HTML document to the user terminal 3 (Step S15). The user terminal 3 displays a search result page on the screen based on the received HTML document (step S16).
　図５は、本実施形態に係る宿泊施設予約サーバ１のシステム制御部１４による割当数設定処理の一例を示すフローチャートである。割当数設定処理は、例えば１日に１回実行される。図５に示すように、割当数設定部１４１は、順序番号ｉを１に設定する（ステップＳ１）。そして、割当数設定部１４１は、宿泊施設情報ＤＢ１２ｂから、ｉ番目の宿泊施設ＩＤを取得する。 FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the allocation number setting process by the system control unit 14 of the accommodation facility reservation server 1 according to the present embodiment. The allocation number setting process is executed once a day, for example. As shown in FIG. 5, the allocation number setting unit 141 sets the sequence number i to 1 (step S1). Then, the allocation number setting unit 141 acquires the i-th accommodation facility ID from the accommodation facility information DB 12b.
　次いで、実績取得部１４２は、今日の日付に基づいて、実績期間の初日及び末日の日付をそれぞれ決定する。そして、実績取得部１４２は、空席数ＤＢ１２ｅから、ｉ番目の宿泊施設ＩＤに対応する空席数のうち、実績期間の初日から末日までに対応する空席数をそれぞれ取得する。また、実績取得部１４２は、予約数ＤＢ１２ｆから、ｉ番目の宿泊施設ＩＤに対応する予約数のうち、実績期間の初日から末日までに対応する予約数をそれぞれ取得する（ステップＳ２２）。次いで、実績取得部１４２は、取得した空室数を合計するとともに、取得した予約数を合計する。そして、実績取得部１４２は、空室数の合計と予約数の合計とを足し合わせて、提供数を計算する（ステップＳ２３）。 Next, the result acquisition unit 142 determines the dates of the first and last days of the result period based on today's date. And the results acquisition part 142 acquires the number of vacant seats corresponding from the first day to the last day of the performance period among the number of vacant seats corresponding to the i-th accommodation facility ID from the vacant seat number DB 12e. In addition, the actual result acquisition unit 142 acquires, from the reservation number DB 12f, the number of reservations corresponding to the first period through the last day of the actual period among the reservation numbers corresponding to the i-th accommodation facility ID (step S22). Next, the result acquisition unit 142 totals the acquired number of vacancies and totals the acquired number of reservations. Then, the result acquisition unit 142 adds the total number of vacancies and the total number of reservations to calculate the number of provisions (step S23).
　次いで、割当数設定部１４１は、予約数の合計を実績期間の日数で割ることにより、１日当たりの予約数を計算する。また、割当数設定部１４１は、提供数を実績期間の日数で割ることにより、１日当たりの提供数を計算する。次いで、割当数設定部１４１は、１日当たりの予約数を１日当たりの提供数で割ることにより稼働率を計算する（ステップＳ２４）。次いで、割当数設定部１４１は、稼働率が１００％であるか否かを判定する（ステップＳ２５）。このとき、割当数設定部１４１は、稼働率が１００％であると判定した場合には（ステップＳ２５：ＹＥＳ）、ステップＳ２６に進む。ステップＳ２６において、割当数設定部１４１は、１日当たりの提供数よりも多い数を、割当数に決定する。例えば、割当数設定部１４１は、１日当たりの提供数に、記憶部１２に記憶されている係数を掛けることにより、割当数を計算してもよい。一方、割当数設定部１４１は、稼働率が１００％未満であると判定した場合には（ステップＳ２５：ＮＯ）、ステップＳ２７に進む。ステップＳ２７において、割当数設定部１４１は、１日当たりの提供数と同一の割当数を決定する。ステップＳ２６又はＳ２７を終えると、割当数設定部１４１は、ステップＳ２８に進む。 Next, the allocation number setting unit 141 calculates the number of reservations per day by dividing the total number of reservations by the number of days in the performance period. Also, the allocation number setting unit 141 calculates the number of provisions per day by dividing the number of provisions by the number of days in the performance period. Next, the allocation number setting unit 141 calculates the operation rate by dividing the number of reservations per day by the number of provisions per day (step S24). Next, the allocation number setting unit 141 determines whether the operating rate is 100% (step S25). At this time, if the allocation number setting unit 141 determines that the operation rate is 100% (step S25: YES), the process proceeds to step S26. In step S26, the allocation number setting unit 141 determines a number larger than the number of provisions per day as the allocation number. For example, the allocation number setting unit 141 may calculate the allocation number by multiplying the provision number per day by the coefficient stored in the storage unit 12. On the other hand, if the allocation number setting unit 141 determines that the operating rate is less than 100% (step S25: NO), the process proceeds to step S27. In step S27, the allocation number setting unit 141 determines an allocation number that is the same as the number of provisions per day. When step S26 or S27 ends, the allocation number setting unit 141 proceeds to step S28.
　ステップＳ２８において、割当数設定部１４１は、今日の日付に所定日数を加算することにより、割当設定対象日の日付を計算する。そして、割当数設定部１４１は、決定した優先度、ｉ番目の宿泊施設ＩＤ、及び計算した日付を対応付けて、割当数ＤＢ１２ｄに登録する。次いで、割当数設定部１４１は、順序番号ｉが、宿泊施設情報ＤＢ１２ｂに登録されている宿泊施設情報ＩＤの総数の値未満であるか否かを判定する（ステップＳ２９）。このとき、割当数設定部１４１は、順序番号ｉが宿泊施設情報ＩＤの総数の値未満であると判定した場合には（ステップＳ２９：ＹＥＳ）、ステップＳ３０に進む。ステップＳ３０において、割当数設定部１４１は、順序番号ｉに１を加算する。次いで、割当数設定部１４１は、ステップＳ２２に進む。一方、割当数設定部１４１は、順序番号ｉが宿泊施設情報ＩＤの総数の値未満ではないと判定した場合には（ステップＳ２９：ＮＯ）、優先度設定処理を終了させる。 In step S28, the allocation number setting unit 141 calculates the date of the allocation setting target date by adding a predetermined number of days to today's date. Then, the allocation number setting unit 141 registers the determined priority, the i-th accommodation facility ID, and the calculated date in the allocation number DB 12d in association with each other. Next, the allocation number setting unit 141 determines whether or not the sequence number i is less than the total number of accommodation facility information IDs registered in the accommodation facility information DB 12b (step S29). At this time, if the allocation number setting unit 141 determines that the sequence number i is less than the total number of accommodation facility information IDs (step S29: YES), the process proceeds to step S30. In step S30, the allocation number setting unit 141 adds 1 to the sequence number i. Next, the allocation number setting unit 141 proceeds to step S22. On the other hand, if the allocation number setting unit 141 determines that the sequence number i is not less than the total number of accommodation facility information IDs (step S29: NO), the priority setting process is terminated.
　図６は、本実施形態に係る宿泊施設予約サーバ１のシステム制御部１４による充足率計算処理の一例を示すフローチャートである。図６に示すように、充足率計算部１４３は、総割当数を０に設定するとともに、総提供数を０に設定する（ステップＳ４１）。次いで、充足率計算部１４３は、今日の日付に基づいて、評価期間の初日及び末日の日付をそれぞれ決定する。そして、充足率計算部１４３は、対象日付を評価期間の初日に設定する（ステップＳ４２）。 FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of a sufficiency rate calculation process by the system control unit 14 of the accommodation facility reservation server 1 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6, the fullness rate calculation unit 143 sets the total allocation number to 0 and sets the total provision number to 0 (step S41). Next, the fullness rate calculation unit 143 determines the dates of the first day and the last day of the evaluation period based on today's date. And the fullness rate calculation part 143 sets an object date as the first day of an evaluation period (step S42).
　次いで、充足率計算部１４３は、割当数ＤＢ１２ｄから、対象日付、ｉ番目の宿泊施設ＩＤに対応する割当数を取得する（ステップＳ４３）。次いで、充足率計算部１４３は、取得した割当数を、現在の対象日付の１日前までの総割当数に加算することにより、現在の対象日付までの総割当数を計算する（ステップＳ４４）。なお、現在の対象日付が評価期間の初日である場合、１日前までの総割当数は０である。次いで、充足率計算部１４３は、空室数ＤＢ１２ｅから、対象日付と、ｉ番目の宿泊施設ＩＤとに対応する空室数を取得する。また、充足率計算部１４３は、予約数ＤＢ１２ｆから、対象日付と、ｉ番目の宿泊施設ＩＤとに対応する予約数を取得する（ステップＳ４５）。次いで、充足率計算部１４３は、空席数に予約数を加算することにより、提供数を計算する（ステップＳ４６）。 Next, the fullness rate calculation unit 143 acquires the allocation number corresponding to the target date and the i-th accommodation facility ID from the allocation number DB 12d (step S43). Next, the fullness calculation unit 143 calculates the total number of assignments up to the current target date by adding the acquired number of assignments to the total number of assignments up to one day before the current target date (step S44). When the current target date is the first day of the evaluation period, the total number of assignments up to one day before is 0. Next, the sufficiency rate calculation unit 143 acquires the number of vacancies corresponding to the target date and the i-th accommodation facility ID from the vacancy number DB 12e. In addition, the sufficiency rate calculation unit 143 acquires the number of reservations corresponding to the target date and the i-th accommodation facility ID from the reservation number DB 12f (step S45). Next, the fullness rate calculation unit 143 calculates the number of provisions by adding the number of reservations to the number of vacant seats (step S46).
　次いで、充足率計算部１４３は、計算した提供数が、取得した割当数以下であるか否かを判定する（ステップＳ４７）。このとき、充足率計算部１４３は、提供数が割当数以下であると判定した場合には（ステップＳ４７：ＹＥＳ）、ステップＳ４８に進む。ステップＳ４８において、充足率計算部１４３は、計算した提供数を現在の対象日付までの総提供数に加算することにより、現在の対象日付までの総提供数を計算する。なお、現在の対象日付が評価期間の初日である場合、１日前までの総提供数は０である。一方、充足率計算部１４３は、提供数が割当数以下ではないと判定した場合には（ステップＳ４７：ＮＯ）、ステップＳ４９に進む。ステップＳ４９において、充足率計算部１４３は、取得した割当数を現在の対象日付までの総提供数に加算することにより、現在の対象日付までの総提供数を計算する。ステップＳ４８又はＳ４９を終えると、充足率計算部１４３は、ステップＳ５０に進む。 Next, the fullness rate calculation unit 143 determines whether or not the calculated provision number is equal to or less than the acquired allocation number (step S47). At this time, when the sufficiency rate calculation unit 143 determines that the provided number is equal to or less than the allocated number (step S47: YES), the process proceeds to step S48. In step S48, the sufficiency rate calculation unit 143 calculates the total number of provisions up to the current target date by adding the calculated number of provisions to the total number of provisions up to the current target date. When the current target date is the first day of the evaluation period, the total number of provisions up to one day before is 0. On the other hand, when it is determined that the provided number is not less than the allocated number (step S47: NO), the sufficiency rate calculating unit 143 proceeds to step S49. In step S49, the sufficiency rate calculation unit 143 calculates the total number of provisions up to the current target date by adding the acquired allocation number to the total number of provisions up to the current target date. When step S48 or S49 is completed, the fullness rate calculation unit 143 proceeds to step S50.
　ステップＳ５０において、充足率計算部１４３は、対象日付が、評価期間の末日の日付と一致するか否かを判定する。このとき、充足率計算部１４３は、対象日付が評価期間の末日の日付と一致しないと判定した場合には（ステップＳ５０：ＮＯ）、ステップＳ５１に進む。ステップＳ５１において、充足率計算部１４３は、対象日付に１を加算する。次いで、充足率計算部１４３は、ステップＳ４３に進む。一方、充足率計算部１４３は、対象日付が評価期間の末日の日付と一致すると判定した場合には（ステップＳ５０：ＹＥＳ）、ステップＳ５２に進む。ステップＳ５２において、充足率計算部１４３は、総提供数を総割当数で割ることにより、充足率を計算する。ステップＳ５２を終えると、充足率計算部１４３は、充足率計算処理を終了させる。 In step S50, the fullness rate calculation unit 143 determines whether or not the target date matches the date on the last day of the evaluation period. At this time, when it is determined that the target date does not coincide with the date on the last day of the evaluation period (step S50: NO), the sufficiency rate calculation unit 143 proceeds to step S51. In step S51, the fullness rate calculation unit 143 adds 1 to the target date. Subsequently, the fullness rate calculation unit 143 proceeds to step S43. On the other hand, when it is determined that the target date matches the last date of the evaluation period (step S50: YES), the sufficiency rate calculation unit 143 proceeds to step S52. In step S52, the satisfaction rate calculation unit 143 calculates the satisfaction rate by dividing the total number of provisions by the total number of allocations. When step S52 is completed, the fullness rate calculation unit 143 ends the fullness rate calculation process.
　図７は、本実施形態に係る宿泊施設予約サーバ１のシステム制御部１４による優先度決定処理の一例を示すフローチャートである。図７に示すように、優先度決定部１４４は、番号ｊを１に設定する（ステップＳ６１）。次いで、優先度決定部１４４は、充足率閾値テーブルから、優先度ｊに対応する閾値を取得する。そして、優先度決定部１４４は、充足率計算処理で計算された充足率が、取得した閾値以上であるか否かを判定する（ステップＳ６２）。このとき、優先度決定部１４４は、充足率が閾値以上ではないと判定した場合には（ステップＳ６３：ＮＯ）、ステップＳ６３に進む。ステップＳ６３において、優先度決定部１４４は、番号ｊに１を加算する。次いで、優先度決定部１４４は、ステップＳ６２に進む。一方、優先度決定部１４４は、充足率が閾値以上であると判定した場合には（ステップＳ６３：ＹＥＳ）、ステップＳ６４に進む。ステップＳ６４において、優先度決定部１４４は、現在の番号ｊの値を優先度の値に決定する。ステップＳ６４を終えると、優先度決定部１４４は、優先度決定処理を終了させる。 FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of priority determination processing by the system control unit 14 of the accommodation facility reservation server 1 according to this embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 7, the priority determination unit 144 sets the number j to 1 (step S61). Subsequently, the priority determination part 144 acquires the threshold value corresponding to the priority j from a fullness rate threshold value table. And the priority determination part 144 determines whether the fullness rate calculated by the fullness rate calculation process is more than the acquired threshold value (step S62). At this time, if the priority determination unit 144 determines that the satisfaction rate is not equal to or greater than the threshold (step S63: NO), the priority determination unit 144 proceeds to step S63. In step S63, the priority determination unit 144 adds 1 to the number j. Next, the priority determination unit 144 proceeds to step S62. On the other hand, when the priority determination unit 144 determines that the satisfaction rate is equal to or higher than the threshold (step S63: YES), the priority determination unit 144 proceeds to step S64. In step S64, the priority determination unit 144 determines the value of the current number j as the priority value. When step S64 is completed, the priority determination unit 144 ends the priority determination process.
　以上説明したように、本実施形態によれば、システム制御部１４が、宿泊施設ごとに将来の評価期間に情報処理システムＳに提供される客室に対する割当数を取得する。また、システム制御部１４が、客室の提供数と宿泊施設ＩＤと客室が提供される日とを対応付けて記憶する記憶部１２から、宿泊施設ごとに評価期間内の客室の提供数を取得する。また、システム制御部１４が、割当数に対する提供数の充足率に基づいて、宿泊施設ごとの優先度を決定する。従って、宿泊施設の優先度を適切に決定することができる。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, the system control unit 14 acquires the number of allocations for the guest rooms provided to the information processing system S in the future evaluation period for each accommodation facility. Further, the system control unit 14 acquires the number of guest rooms provided within the evaluation period for each accommodation facility from the storage unit 12 that stores the number of guest room provisions, the accommodation facility ID, and the date on which the guest room is provided in association with each other. . Further, the system control unit 14 determines the priority for each accommodation facility based on the satisfaction rate of the provided number with respect to the allocated number. Therefore, the priority of the accommodation facility can be appropriately determined.
　また、システム制御部１４が、予約確定数を宿泊施設ごとに取得し、予約確定数に基づいて、割当数を設定してもよい。これにより、これまでの予約の実績を用いて、割当数を適切に設定することができる。 Further, the system control unit 14 may acquire the reservation fixed number for each accommodation facility, and set the allocated number based on the reservation fixed number. Thereby, the allocation number can be appropriately set using the past reservation results.
　また、システム制御部１４が、記憶部１２から実績期間内の提供数と実績期間内の予約確定数を宿泊施設ごとに取得し、提供数と予約確定数に基づいて、割当数を設定してもよい。これにより、割当数をより適切に設定することができる。 Further, the system control unit 14 acquires the number of provisions within the actual period and the number of confirmed reservations within the actual period from the storage unit 12 for each accommodation facility, and sets the allocation number based on the number of provisions and the number of confirmed reservations. Also good. Thereby, the number of allocation can be set more appropriately.
［２．第２実施形態］
［２－１．システム制御部の機能概要］
　第２実施形態におけるシステム制御部１４の機能について、図８を用いて説明する。以下に説明する点を除き、第２実施形態は第１実施形態と基本的に同様である。図８は、本実施形態に係る宿泊施設予約サーバ１のシステム制御部１４の機能ブロックの一例を示す図である。図８において、図２（ｂ）と同様の要素については同様の符号が付されている。図８に示すように、システム制御部１４は、割当数設定部１４１、実績取得部１４２、充足率計算部１４３、優先度決定部１４４、情報提供部１４５、需要推定部１４６等として機能する。需要推定部１４６は、本発明における推定手段、検索数取得手段、閲覧数取得手段、及び識別情報取得手段の一例である。 [2. Second Embodiment]
[2-1. Overview of system control functions]
The function of the system control unit 14 in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Except as described below, the second embodiment is basically the same as the first embodiment. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of functional blocks of the system control unit 14 of the accommodation facility reservation server 1 according to the present embodiment. In FIG. 8, the same reference numerals are given to the same elements as those in FIG. As illustrated in FIG. 8, the system control unit 14 functions as an allocation number setting unit 141, a result acquisition unit 142, a fullness rate calculation unit 143, a priority determination unit 144, an information provision unit 145, a demand estimation unit 146, and the like. The demand estimation unit 146 is an example of an estimation unit, a search number acquisition unit, a browsing number acquisition unit, and an identification information acquisition unit in the present invention.
　本実施形態において、割当数設定部１４１は、客室に対するユーザの推定需要に基づいて、割当数を決定する。具体的に、割当数設定部１４１は、推定需要が大きいほど、多い割当数を決定する。その理由は、推定需要が大きいほど将来の予約数が多い蓋然性があるからである。 In the present embodiment, the allocation number setting unit 141 determines the allocation number based on the user's estimated demand for the guest room. Specifically, the allocation number setting unit 141 determines a larger allocation number as the estimated demand is larger. The reason is that there is a probability that the larger the estimated demand, the greater the number of future reservations.
　需要推定部１４６は、宿泊施設に対するユーザの所定の行為の履歴に基づいて、客室に対する需要を宿泊施設ごとに推定する。所定の行為として、例えば、宿泊施設又は宿泊プランの検索の要求、宿泊施設ページの閲覧等が挙げられる。検索を要求するユーザ、及び宿泊施設ページを閲覧するユーザは、宿泊施設を利用するユーザの候補である。履歴を用いる理由は、所定の行為が行われた回数が多い客室ほど、需要が大きい蓋然性があるからである。所定の行為の履歴として、例えば検索履歴、閲覧履歴等が挙げられる。本実施形態において、需要推定部１４６は、検索履歴ＤＢ１２ｈに登録された検索履歴を用いる。具体的に、需要推定部１４６は、検索履歴に基づいて、宿泊施設ごとの検索数を取得する。検索数は、宿泊施設が検索された回数を示す。需要推定部１４６は、検索数に基づいて需要を推定する。例えば、需要推定部１４６は、検索数が多いほど、大きい需要を決定してもよい。 The demand estimation unit 146 estimates the demand for the guest room for each accommodation facility based on the user's predetermined action history for the accommodation facility. Examples of the predetermined action include a request for a search for an accommodation facility or an accommodation plan, a browsing of an accommodation facility page, and the like. The user who requests the search and the user who browses the accommodation facility page are candidates for users who use the accommodation facility. The reason for using the history is that there is a possibility that the demand increases as the guest room has a higher number of predetermined actions. Examples of the history of the predetermined action include a search history and a browsing history. In the present embodiment, the demand estimation unit 146 uses a search history registered in the search history DB 12h. Specifically, the demand estimation unit 146 acquires the number of searches for each accommodation facility based on the search history. The number of searches indicates the number of times the accommodation facility has been searched. The demand estimation unit 146 estimates the demand based on the number of searches. For example, the demand estimation unit 146 may determine a larger demand as the number of searches is larger.
　例えば、需要推定部１４６は、ある宿泊施設が検索されたことを示す検索履歴のうち、検索条件として指定されたチェックイン日が実績期間内である検索履歴の数を、その宿泊施設の実績期間の検索数としてカウントする。また、需要推定部１４６は、検索条件として指定されたチェックイン日が評価期間内である検索履歴の数を、その宿泊施設の評価期間の現在の検索数としてカウントする。本実施形態の場合、評価期間は、客室が予約可能な日を少なくとも含む。その理由として、例えば、客室が予約可能な期間よりも後の日を、チェックイン日として指定することができないことが挙げられる。例えば、評価期間の全部が、客室が予約可能な期間に含まれてもよいし、評価期間の一部が、客室が予約可能な期間と重複してもよい。また、評価期間は、例えば割当数設定対象日を含んでもよい。また、評価期間は例えば実績期間と重複しない。 For example, the demand estimation unit 146 calculates the number of search histories whose check-in date specified as the search condition is within the actual period, out of the search history indicating that the certain accommodation has been searched. Count as the number of searches for. Further, the demand estimation unit 146 counts the number of search histories whose check-in date specified as the search condition is within the evaluation period as the current number of searches in the evaluation period of the accommodation facility. In the case of this embodiment, the evaluation period includes at least a day when the guest room can be reserved. The reason is, for example, that the date after the period when the guest room can be reserved cannot be designated as the check-in date. For example, the entire evaluation period may be included in a period in which the guest room can be reserved, or a part of the evaluation period may overlap with the period in which the guest room can be reserved. Further, the evaluation period may include, for example, an allocation number setting target date. In addition, the evaluation period does not overlap with the performance period, for example.
　需要推定部１４６は、実績期間の検索数、評価期間の検索数、及び実績期間の予約確定数に基づいて、需要を推定してもよい。例えば、需要推定部１４６は、評価期間の現在の検索数から、評価期間の将来の検索数を推定してもよい。その理由は、評価期間の検索数は、予約が確定するまで、今後増加する可能性があるからである。将来の検索数とは、評価期間に提供される客室の予約が確定する日以降の検索数である。需要推定部１４６は、例えば、１日当たりの予約確定数を実績期間の検索数で割ることにより、１回の検索当たりの予約数を計算する。そして、需要推定部１４６は、例えば１回の検索当たりの予約数に将来の検索数を掛けることにより、推定予約数を計算する。この推定予約数は需要を示す。需要推定部１４６は、推定予約数が多いほど、多い割当数を決定する。 The demand estimation unit 146 may estimate the demand based on the number of searches in the actual period, the number of searches in the evaluation period, and the number of confirmed reservations in the actual period. For example, the demand estimation unit 146 may estimate the number of future searches during the evaluation period from the current number of searches during the evaluation period. The reason is that the number of searches during the evaluation period may increase in the future until the reservation is confirmed. The number of future searches is the number of searches after the date when the reservation of the guest room provided during the evaluation period is confirmed. For example, the demand estimation unit 146 calculates the number of reservations per search by dividing the number of confirmed reservations per day by the number of searches in the actual period. Then, the demand estimation unit 146 calculates the estimated number of reservations, for example, by multiplying the number of reservations per search by the number of future searches. This estimated number of reservations indicates demand. The demand estimation unit 146 determines a larger allocation number as the estimated number of reservations is larger.
　また例えば、需要推定部１４６は、実績期間の検索数、評価期間の現在の検索数、及び実績期間の稼働率に基づいて、需要を推定してもよい。例えば、需要推定部１４６は、予約確定数を実績期間の検索数で割ることにより、稼働率を計算する。そして、需要推定部１４６は、例えば１回の検索当たりの稼働率に将来の検索数を掛けることにより、推定稼働率を計算する。この推定稼働率は需要を示す。需要推定部１４６は、推定稼働率が高いほど、多い割当数を決定する。 Further, for example, the demand estimation unit 146 may estimate the demand based on the number of searches in the actual period, the current number of searches in the evaluation period, and the operation rate in the actual period. For example, the demand estimation unit 146 calculates the operation rate by dividing the number of confirmed reservations by the number of searches in the actual period. Then, the demand estimation unit 146 calculates the estimated operation rate by, for example, multiplying the operation rate per search by the number of future searches. This estimated availability indicates demand. The demand estimation unit 146 determines a larger allocation number as the estimated operation rate is higher.
［２－２．情報処理システムの動作］
　次に、情報処理システムＳの動作について、図９及び図１０を用いて説明する。図９は、本実施形態に係る宿泊施設予約サーバ１のシステム制御部１４による割当数設定処理の一例を示すフローチャートである。図９において、図５と同様の処理については同様の符号が付されている。図９に示すように、ステップＳ２１が実行された後、需要推定部１４６は、需要推定処理を実行する（ステップＳ３１）。需要推定処理において、需要推定部１４６は、ｉ番目の宿泊施設ＩＤに対応する推定予約数を推定する。需要推定処理の詳細は後述する。次いで、割当数設定部１４１は、推定予約数に基づいて、割当数を決定する（ステップＳ３２）。例えば、需要推定部１４６は、例えば推定予約数と同一の割当数を決定してもよいし、推定予約数に所定の係数を掛けることにより、割当数を計算してもよい。 [2-2. Operation of information processing system]
Next, the operation of the information processing system S will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of the allocation number setting process by the system control unit 14 of the accommodation facility reservation server 1 according to the present embodiment. In FIG. 9, the same processes as those in FIG. As shown in FIG. 9, after step S21 is performed, the demand estimation part 146 performs a demand estimation process (step S31). In the demand estimation process, the demand estimation unit 146 estimates the estimated number of reservations corresponding to the i-th accommodation facility ID. Details of the demand estimation process will be described later. Next, the allocation number setting unit 141 determines the allocation number based on the estimated reservation number (step S32). For example, the demand estimation unit 146 may determine the number of allocations that is the same as the estimated number of reservations, or may calculate the number of allocations by multiplying the estimated number of reservations by a predetermined coefficient.
　次いで、割当数設定部１４１は、割当数を割当数ＤＢ１２ｄに登録する（ステップＳ２８）。次いで、割当数設定部１４１は、順序番号ｉが宿泊施設情報ＩＤの総数の値未満であるか否かを判定する（ステップＳ２９）。このとき、割当数設定部１４１は、順序番号ｉが宿泊施設情報ＩＤの総数の値未満であると判定した場合には（ステップＳ２９：ＹＥＳ）、ステップＳ３０に進む。ステップＳ３０において、割当数設定部１４１は、順序番号ｉに１を加算する。次いで、割当数設定部１４１は、ステップＳ３１に進む。一方、割当数設定部１４１は、順序番号ｉが宿泊施設情報ＩＤの総数の値未満ではないと判定した場合には（ステップＳ２９：ＮＯ）、優先度設定処理を終了させる。 Next, the allocation number setting unit 141 registers the allocation number in the allocation number DB 12d (step S28). Next, the allocation number setting unit 141 determines whether or not the sequence number i is less than the total number of accommodation facility information IDs (step S29). At this time, if the allocation number setting unit 141 determines that the sequence number i is less than the total number of accommodation facility information IDs (step S29: YES), the process proceeds to step S30. In step S30, the allocation number setting unit 141 adds 1 to the sequence number i. Next, the allocation number setting unit 141 proceeds to step S31. On the other hand, if the allocation number setting unit 141 determines that the sequence number i is not less than the total number of accommodation facility information IDs (step S29: NO), the priority setting process is terminated.
　図１０は、本実施形態に係る宿泊施設予約サーバ１のシステム制御部１４による需要推定処理の一例を示すフローチャートである。図１０に示すように、実績取得部１４２は、今日の日付を基準として、実績期間の初日及び末日の日付をそれぞれ決定する。そして、実績取得部１４２は、予約数ＤＢ１２ｆから、ｉ番目の宿泊施設ＩＤに対応する予約数のうち、実績期間の初日から末日までに対応する予約数をそれぞれ取得する（ステップＳ７１）。次いで、需要推定部１４６は、取得された予約数の合計を実績期間の日数で割ることにより、１日当たりの予約確定数を計算する（ステップＳ７２）。 FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of demand estimation processing by the system control unit 14 of the accommodation facility reservation server 1 according to the present embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 10, the record acquisition unit 142 determines the dates of the first and last days of the record period based on today's date. And the results acquisition part 142 each acquires the number of reservations corresponding from the first day of a performance period to the last day among the number of reservations corresponding to i-th accommodation establishment ID from reservation number DB12f (step S71). Next, the demand estimation unit 146 calculates the number of confirmed reservations per day by dividing the total number of reservations acquired by the number of days in the performance period (step S72).
　次いで、需要推定部１４６は、検索履歴ＤＢ１２ｈから、検索結果リストでｉ番目の宿泊施設ＩＤを含む検索履歴のうち、検索結果情報に含まれるチェックイン日が実績期間の範囲内である検索履歴を検索する（ステップＳ７３）。次いで、需要推定部１４６は、検索された検索履歴の数をカウントすることにより、実績期間の検索数を計算する。そして、需要推定部１４６は、検索数を実績期間の日数で割ることにより、実績期間の１日当たりの検索数を計算する（ステップＳ７４）。 Next, the demand estimation unit 146 retrieves, from the search history DB 12h, a search history in which the check-in date included in the search result information is within the range of the actual period among the search histories including the i-th accommodation facility ID in the search result list. Search is performed (step S73). Next, the demand estimation unit 146 calculates the number of searches in the performance period by counting the number of searched search histories. And the demand estimation part 146 calculates the number of searches per day of a performance period by dividing the number of searches by the number of days of a performance period (step S74).
　次いで、需要推定部１４６は、例えば今日の日付に所定日数を加算して評価基準日を計算する。そして、需要推定部１４６は、例えば評価基準日を基準として、評価期間の初日及び末日を決定する。評価基準日に、評価期間の提供数と割当数に基づいて、充足率が計算される。次いで、需要推定部１４６は、検索履歴ＤＢ１２ｈから、検索結果リストでｉ番目の宿泊施設ＩＤを含む検索履歴のうち、検索結果情報に含まれるチェックイン日が評価期間の範囲内である検索履歴を検索する（ステップＳ７５）。次いで、需要推定部１４６は、検索された検索履歴の数をカウントすることにより、評価期間の現在の検索数を計算する。そして、需要推定部１４６は、検索数を実績期間の日数で割ることにより、評価期間の１日当たりの検索数を計算する（ステップＳ７６）。 Next, the demand estimation unit 146 calculates an evaluation reference date by adding a predetermined number of days to today's date, for example. And the demand estimation part 146 determines the first day and the last day of an evaluation period, for example on the basis of an evaluation reference day. On the evaluation reference date, the sufficiency rate is calculated based on the number of provisions and the number of allocations in the evaluation period. Next, the demand estimation unit 146 retrieves, from the search history DB 12h, a search history in which the check-in date included in the search result information is within the evaluation period within the search history including the i-th accommodation facility ID in the search result list. Search is performed (step S75). Next, the demand estimation unit 146 calculates the current number of searches in the evaluation period by counting the number of searched search histories. Then, the demand estimation unit 146 calculates the number of searches per day in the evaluation period by dividing the number of searches by the number of days in the performance period (step S76).
　次いで、需要推定部１４６は、評価期間の１日当たりの検索数に基づいて、評価期間の将来の検索数を計算する（ステップＳ７７）。例えば、需要推定部１４６は、評価期間の１日当たりの検索数に所定の係数を掛けることにより、将来の検索数を計算してもよい。また例えば、需要推定部１４６は、検索履歴ＤＢ１２ｈに基づいて、検索数の増加傾向を特定してもよい。そして、需要推定部１４６は、増加傾向に基づいて係数を決定してもよい。例えば、需要推定部１４６は、評価期間内の日をチェックイン日とした場合の予約確定日からチェックイン日までの経過日数を計算する。次いで、需要推定部１４６は、評価期間と同一日数の過去の期間を決定する。次いで、需要推定部１４６は、決定した期間内の日をチェックイン日とした場合の予約確定日を計算する。次いで、需要推定部１４６は、予約確定日までの間に登録されている検索履歴のうち、決定した期間内の日がチェックイン日として指定された検索履歴の数に基づいて、予約確定日における検索数を計算する。また、需要推定部１４６は、計算した予約確定日から経過日数を減算することにより、予約未確定基準日を計算する。次いで、需要推定部１４６は、予約未確定基準日までの間に登録されている検索履歴のうち、決定した期間内の日がチェックイン日として指定された検索履歴の数に基づいて、予約未確定基準日における検索数を計算する。次いで、需要推定部１４６は、予約未確定基準日における検索数を予約確定日における検索数で割ることにより、検索倍率を計算する。次いで、需要推定部１４６は、検索倍率に基づいて、係数を決定する。例えば、需要推定部１４６は、検索倍率と一致する係数を決定してもよい。そして、需要推定部１４６は、評価期間の１日当たりの検索数に係数を掛けることにより、将来の検索数を計算する。 Next, the demand estimation unit 146 calculates the number of future searches during the evaluation period based on the number of searches per day during the evaluation period (step S77). For example, the demand estimation unit 146 may calculate the number of future searches by multiplying the number of searches per day in the evaluation period by a predetermined coefficient. For example, the demand estimation part 146 may specify the increase tendency of the number of searches based on search history DB12h. And the demand estimation part 146 may determine a coefficient based on an increase tendency. For example, the demand estimation unit 146 calculates the number of elapsed days from the reservation confirmation date to the check-in date when the date in the evaluation period is the check-in date. Next, the demand estimation unit 146 determines a past period having the same number of days as the evaluation period. Next, the demand estimation unit 146 calculates a reservation confirmation date when a date within the determined period is a check-in date. Next, the demand estimation unit 146 determines the date of the reservation confirmation date based on the number of search histories in which the date within the determined period is designated as the check-in date among the search histories registered until the reservation confirmation date. Calculate the number of searches. In addition, the demand estimation unit 146 calculates the reservation unconfirmed reference date by subtracting the elapsed days from the calculated reservation confirmed date. Next, the demand estimation unit 146 determines whether the reservation history is based on the number of search histories in which the date within the determined period is designated as the check-in date among the search histories registered up to the reservation indefinite reference date. Calculate the number of searches on the fixed reference date. Next, the demand estimation unit 146 calculates a search magnification by dividing the number of searches on the reservation indefinite reference date by the number of searches on the reservation confirmed date. Next, the demand estimation unit 146 determines a coefficient based on the search magnification. For example, the demand estimation unit 146 may determine a coefficient that matches the search magnification. Then, the demand estimation unit 146 calculates the number of future searches by multiplying the number of searches per day in the evaluation period by a coefficient.
　次いで、需要推定部１４６は、１日当たりの予約確定数を実績期間の検索数で割ることにより、１回の検索当たりの予約数を計算する。そして、需要推定部１４６は、１回の検索当たりの予約数に将来の検索数を掛けることにより、推定予約数を計算する（ステップＳ７８）。ステップＳ７８を終えると、需要推定部１４６は、需要推定処理を終了させる。 Next, the demand estimation unit 146 calculates the number of reservations per search by dividing the number of confirmed reservations per day by the number of searches in the actual period. Then, the demand estimation unit 146 calculates the estimated number of reservations by multiplying the number of reservations per search by the number of future searches (step S78). When step S78 is completed, the demand estimation unit 146 ends the demand estimation process.
　以上説明したように、本実施形態によれば、システム制御部１４が、記憶部１２に記憶された所定行為の履歴であって、所定行為の対象とされた宿泊施設の宿泊施設ＩＤを含む履歴に基づいて、客室に対する需要を宿泊施設ごとに推定する。また、システム制御部１４が、推定された需要に基づいて割当数を設定する。従って、割当数を適切に設定することができる。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, the system control unit 14 is a history of the predetermined action stored in the storage unit 12 and includes the accommodation facility ID of the accommodation facility that is the target of the predetermined action. Based on the above, the demand for the guest room is estimated for each accommodation facility. Further, the system control unit 14 sets the number of allocations based on the estimated demand. Therefore, the number of allocations can be set appropriately.
　また、システム制御部１４が、検索履歴に基づいて、宿泊施設の検索数を宿泊施設ごとに取得し、検索数に基づいて割当数を設定してもよい。これにより、需要を適切に推定することができる。 Alternatively, the system control unit 14 may acquire the number of accommodation facility searches for each accommodation facility based on the search history, and set the number of allocations based on the number of searches. Thereby, a demand can be estimated appropriately.
　また、システム制御部１４が、予約確定数を宿泊施設ごとに取得し、検索条件情報を含む検索履歴に基づいて、チェックイン日が評価期間内である検索数と、チェックイン日が実績期間内である検索数とを取得してもよい。そして、システム制御部１４が、検索数と予約確定数に基づいて需要を推定してもよい。これにより、需要をより適切に推定することができる。 Further, the system control unit 14 acquires the number of confirmed reservations for each accommodation facility, and based on the search history including the search condition information, the number of searches whose check-in date is within the evaluation period and the check-in date within the actual period May be obtained. Then, the system control unit 14 may estimate the demand based on the number of searches and the number of confirmed reservations. Thereby, a demand can be estimated more appropriately.
［３．第３実施形態］
［３－１．システム制御部の機能概要］
　第３実施形態におけるシステム制御部１４の機能について説明する。以下に説明する点を除き、第３実施形態は第２実施形態と基本的に同様である。本実施形態において、割当数設定部１４１は、閲覧履歴ＤＢ１２ｉに登録された閲覧履歴を用いて、客室に対する需要を宿泊施設ごとに推定する。具体的に、需要推定部１４６は、閲覧履歴に基づいて、宿泊施設ごとの閲覧数を取得する。閲覧数は、宿泊施設ページが閲覧された回数を示す。需要推定部１４６は、閲覧数に基づいて需要を推定する。例えば、需要推定部１４６は、閲覧数が多いほど、大きい需要を決定してもよい。 [3. Third Embodiment]
[3-1. Overview of system control functions]
The function of the system control unit 14 in the third embodiment will be described. Except for the points described below, the third embodiment is basically the same as the second embodiment. In the present embodiment, the allocation number setting unit 141 estimates the demand for the guest room for each accommodation facility using the browsing history registered in the browsing history DB 12i. Specifically, the demand estimation unit 146 acquires the number of browsing for each accommodation facility based on the browsing history. The number of browsing shows the frequency | count that the accommodation establishment page was browsed. The demand estimation unit 146 estimates the demand based on the number of browsing. For example, the demand estimation unit 146 may determine a larger demand as the number of browsing is larger.
　例えば、需要推定部１４６は、ある宿泊施設の宿泊施設ページの閲覧履歴のうち、その宿泊施設を検索するときに検索条件として指定されたチェックイン日が実績期間内である閲覧履歴の数を、その宿泊施設の実績期間の閲覧数としてカウントする。また、需要推定部１４６は、その宿泊施設を検索するときに検索条件として指定されたチェックイン日が評価期間内である閲覧履歴の数を、その宿泊施設の評価期間の閲覧数としてカウントする。 For example, the demand estimation unit 146 calculates the number of browsing histories whose check-in date specified as a search condition is within the performance period when searching for accommodations among the browsing histories of an accommodation facility page of a certain accommodation facility, It is counted as the number of browsing during the actual period of the accommodation facility. Moreover, the demand estimation part 146 counts the number of browsing histories whose check-in date designated as a search condition within the evaluation period when searching for the accommodation facility is the number of browsing in the evaluation period of the accommodation facility.
　需要推定部１４６は、実績期間の閲覧数、評価期間の現在の閲覧数、及び実績期間の予約確定数に基づいて、需要を推定してもよい。また例えば、需要推定部１４６は、実績期間の閲覧数、評価期間の現在の閲覧数、及び実績期間の稼働率に基づいて、需要を推定してもよい。閲覧数を用いることを除き、需要の推定方法は第２実施形態の場合と同様である。 The demand estimation unit 146 may estimate the demand based on the number of browsing in the performance period, the current number of browsing in the evaluation period, and the number of reservations confirmed in the performance period. Further, for example, the demand estimation unit 146 may estimate the demand based on the number of browsing in the performance period, the current number of browsing in the evaluation period, and the operation rate in the performance period. Except for using the number of browsing, the demand estimation method is the same as in the second embodiment.
［３－２．情報処理システムの動作］
　次に、情報処理システムＳの動作について、図１１を用いて説明する。図１１は、本実施形態に係る宿泊施設予約サーバ１のシステム制御部１４による需要推定処理の一例を示すフローチャートである。図１１において、図１０と同様の処理については同様の符号が付されている。図１１に示すように、実績取得部１４２は、ステップＳ７１及びＳ７２を実行する。 [3-2. Operation of information processing system]
Next, the operation of the information processing system S will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating an example of demand estimation processing by the system control unit 14 of the accommodation facility reservation server 1 according to the present embodiment. In FIG. 11, processes similar to those in FIG. 10 are denoted by the same reference numerals. As shown in FIG. 11, the record acquisition unit 142 executes steps S71 and S72.
　次いで、需要推定部１４６は、閲覧履歴ＤＢ１２ｉから、検索結果リストでｉ番目の宿泊施設ＩＤを含む閲覧履歴のうち、検索結果情報に含まれるチェックイン日が実績期間の範囲内である閲覧履歴を検索する（ステップＳ８１）。次いで、需要推定部１４６は、検索された閲覧履歴の数をカウントすることにより、実績期間の閲覧数を計算する。そして、需要推定部１４６は、閲覧数を実績期間の日数で割ることにより、実績期間の１日当たりの閲覧数を計算する（ステップＳ８２）。 Next, the demand estimation unit 146 selects, from the browsing history DB 12i, a browsing history in which the check-in date included in the search result information is within the range of the actual period among the browsing histories including the i-th accommodation facility ID in the search result list. Search is performed (step S81). Next, the demand estimation unit 146 calculates the number of browsing in the performance period by counting the number of searched browsing histories. And the demand estimation part 146 calculates the number of browsing per day of a performance period by dividing the number of browsing by the number of days of a performance period (step S82).
　次いで、需要推定部１４６は、閲覧履歴ＤＢ１２ｉから、検索結果リストでｉ番目の宿泊施設ＩＤを含む閲覧履歴のうち、検索結果情報に含まれるチェックイン日が評価期間の範囲内である閲覧履歴を検索する（ステップＳ８３）。次いで、需要推定部１４６は、検索された閲覧履歴の数をカウントすることにより、評価期間の現在の閲覧数を計算する。そして、需要推定部１４６は、閲覧数を実績期間の日数で割ることにより、評価期間の１日当たりの閲覧数を計算する（ステップＳ８４）。次いで、需要推定部１４６は、評価期間の１日当たりの閲覧数に基づいて、評価期間の将来の閲覧数を計算する（ステップＳ８５）。将来の閲覧数の計算方法は、将来の検索数の計算方法と同様である。 Next, the demand estimation unit 146 selects, from the browsing history DB 12i, a browsing history in which the check-in date included in the search result information is within the evaluation period of the browsing history including the i-th accommodation facility ID in the search result list. Search is performed (step S83). Next, the demand estimation unit 146 calculates the current number of browsing in the evaluation period by counting the number of retrieved browsing histories. And the demand estimation part 146 calculates the number of browsing per day of an evaluation period by dividing the number of browsing by the number of days of a performance period (step S84). Next, the demand estimation unit 146 calculates the future number of browsing during the evaluation period based on the number of browsing per day during the evaluation period (step S85). The method for calculating the number of future browsing is the same as the method for calculating the number of future searches.
　次いで、需要推定部１４６は、１日当たりの予約確定数を実績期間の閲覧数で割ることにより、１回の閲覧当たりの予約数を計算する。そして、需要推定部１４６は、１回の閲覧当たりの予約数に将来の閲覧数を掛けることにより、推定予約数を計算する（ステップＳ８６）。ステップＳ８６を終えると、需要推定部１４６は、需要推定処理を終了させる。 Next, the demand estimation unit 146 calculates the number of reservations per viewing by dividing the number of confirmed reservations per day by the number of viewings in the performance period. Then, the demand estimation unit 146 calculates the estimated number of reservations by multiplying the number of reservations per browsing by the number of future browsing (step S86). When step S86 ends, the demand estimation unit 146 ends the demand estimation process.
　以上説明したように、本実施形態によれば、システム制御部１４が、閲覧履歴に基づいて、宿泊施設の閲覧数を宿泊施設ごとに取得する。また、システム制御部１４が、閲覧数に基づいて割当数を設定する。従って、需要を適切に推定することができる。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, the system control unit 14 acquires the number of accommodation facilities viewed for each accommodation facility based on the viewing history. Further, the system control unit 14 sets the allocation number based on the browsing number. Therefore, demand can be estimated appropriately.
　また、システム制御部１４が、予約確定数を宿泊施設ごとに取得し、検索条件情報を含む閲覧履歴に基づいて、チェックイン日が評価期間内である閲覧数と、チェックイン日が実績期間内である閲覧数とを取得してもよい。そして、システム制御部１４が、閲覧数と予約確定数に基づいて需要を推定してもよい。これにより、需要をより適切に推定することができる。 In addition, the system control unit 14 acquires the number of confirmed reservations for each accommodation facility, and based on the browsing history including the search condition information, the number of browsing whose check-in date is within the evaluation period, and the check-in date within the actual period May be acquired. Then, the system control unit 14 may estimate the demand based on the number of browsing and the number of confirmed reservations. Thereby, a demand can be estimated more appropriately.
［４．第４実施形態］
［４－１．システム制御部の機能概要］
　第４実施形態におけるシステム制御部１４の機能について説明する。以下に説明する点を除き、第４実施形態は第２実施形態、第３実施形態と基本的に同様である。本実施形態において、需要推定部１４６は、需要の推定に用いる履歴を限定する。 [4. Fourth Embodiment]
[4-1. Overview of system control functions]
The function of the system control unit 14 in the fourth embodiment will be described. Except for the points described below, the fourth embodiment is basically the same as the second and third embodiments. In the present embodiment, the demand estimation unit 146 limits the history used for demand estimation.
　例えば、需要推定部１４６は、割当数が設定される宿泊施設ごとに、宿泊施設に対応する所定の条件を満たす１又は複数のユーザのユーザＩＤを取得する。そして、需要推定部１４６は、宿泊施設ごとに、取得したユーザＩＤのうち何れかのユーザＩＤを含む履歴のみを用いて、その宿泊施設の需要を推定する。 For example, the demand estimation unit 146 acquires user IDs of one or a plurality of users that satisfy a predetermined condition corresponding to an accommodation facility for each accommodation facility for which the allocated number is set. And the demand estimation part 146 estimates the demand of the accommodation establishment using only the log | history containing either user ID among the acquired user ID for every accommodation establishment.
　例えば、割当数が設定される宿泊施設に対応する条件は、宿泊施設ごとに予め定められてもよい。例えば、宿泊施設の提供者が条件を指定してもよい。指定された条件に関する情報は、例えば宿泊施設予約サーバ１の記憶部１２に記憶される。例えば、提供者は、宿泊施設を利用してもらいたいユーザの属性を条件として指定してもよい。ユーザの属性として、例えば、年齢、性別、住所等が挙げられる。需要推定部１４６は、会員情報ＤＢ１２ａに基づいて、宿泊施設から指定された条件を満たすユーザのユーザＩＤを会員情報ＤＢ１２ａから取得する。 For example, the condition corresponding to the accommodation facility for which the assigned number is set may be determined in advance for each accommodation facility. For example, the provider of the accommodation facility may specify the conditions. Information about the specified condition is stored in the storage unit 12 of the accommodation facility reservation server 1, for example. For example, the provider may specify an attribute of a user who wants to use the accommodation facility as a condition. Examples of user attributes include age, sex, and address. Based on the member information DB 12a, the demand estimation unit 146 acquires the user ID of the user who satisfies the conditions specified by the accommodation facility from the member information DB 12a.
　また例えば、割当数が設定される宿泊施設に対応する条件は、その宿泊施設に対して第２の所定の行為をユーザが行ったことであってもよい。この場合、需要推定部１４６は、割当数が設定される宿泊施設に対して第２の所定の行為を行ったユーザのユーザＩＤを含む履歴のみを用いて、その宿泊施設の需要を推定する。その理由は、宿泊施設について所定の行為を行ったことがあるユーザは、その客室を予約する可能性があるからである。第２の所定の行為として、例えば、宿泊施設又は宿泊プランの検索の要求、宿泊施設ページの閲覧、宿泊施設の予約、宿泊施設の利用等が挙げられる。検索を要求したユーザ、宿泊施設ページを閲覧したユーザ、及び宿泊施設を予約したユーザは、宿泊施設を利用するユーザの候補である。需要推定部１４６は、割当数が設定される宿泊施設の宿泊施設ＩＤを含む履歴から、ユーザＩＤを取得する。このユーザＩＤが、所定の条件を満たすユーザのユーザＩＤである。所定の行為の履歴として、例えば検索履歴、閲覧履歴、予約情報等が挙げられる。需要推定部１４６は、例えば、需要推定用の履歴とは異なる履歴を、需要推定用の履歴を限定するために用いる。 Also, for example, the condition corresponding to the accommodation facility for which the assigned number is set may be that the user performs a second predetermined action on the accommodation facility. In this case, the demand estimation unit 146 estimates the demand of the accommodation facility using only the history including the user ID of the user who has performed the second predetermined action on the accommodation facility for which the allocated number is set. The reason is that a user who has performed a predetermined act for an accommodation facility may reserve the room. Examples of the second predetermined action include a request for searching for an accommodation facility or an accommodation plan, browsing of an accommodation facility page, reservation of an accommodation facility, use of an accommodation facility, and the like. The user who requested the search, the user who browsed the accommodation facility page, and the user who reserved the accommodation facility are candidates for users who use the accommodation facility. The demand estimation unit 146 acquires the user ID from the history including the accommodation facility ID of the accommodation facility for which the assigned number is set. This user ID is a user ID of a user who satisfies a predetermined condition. Examples of the predetermined action history include a search history, a browsing history, and reservation information. The demand estimation unit 146 uses, for example, a history different from the demand estimation history to limit the demand estimation history.
　需要推定部１４６は、割当数が設定される宿泊施設とは関係なく、過去に所定の行為を行ったことがあるユーザのユーザＩＤを含む履歴のみを用いて、需要を推定してもよい。例えば、需要推定部１４６は、宿泊施設を予約又は利用したことがあるユーザのユーザＩＤを含む履歴のみを用いてもよい。需要推定部１４６は、予約情報ＤＢ１２ｇから宿泊施設を予約又は利用したことがあるユーザのユーザＩＤを取得することができる。需要推定部１４６は、例えば、宿泊施設を所定回数予約又は利用したことを条件としてもよい。また例えば、所定期間に宿泊施設を予約又は利用したことを条件としてもよい。この期間は、例えば、需要推定用の履歴から特定される将来のチェックイン日を含む季節等の時期と同一の過去の時期であってもよい。 The demand estimation unit 146 may estimate the demand using only the history including the user ID of the user who has performed a predetermined action in the past regardless of the accommodation facility where the number of allocations is set. For example, the demand estimation unit 146 may use only a history including a user ID of a user who has reserved or used an accommodation facility. The demand estimation part 146 can acquire the user ID of the user who has reserved or used the accommodation facility from the reservation information DB 12g. For example, the demand estimation unit 146 may make it a condition that an accommodation facility has been reserved or used a predetermined number of times. For example, it may be a condition that an accommodation facility is reserved or used during a predetermined period. This period may be, for example, the same past time as the season including the future check-in date specified from the demand estimation history.
　需要推定部１４６は、例えば、チェックイン日が所定の日である履歴は、需要の推定に用いなくてもよい。このような日として、特日、除外日等が挙げられる。特日は、一般的に客室に対する需要が顕著に多い日である。特日として、例えば、年末年始、ゴールデンウィーク、盆等が挙げられる。特日は、予め設定されている。例えば、記憶部１２に特日テーブルが記憶される。特日テーブルには、特日の日付が格納されている。除外日は、宿泊施設ごとに設定される。除外日として、例えば、宿泊施設で特別なイベントがある日等が挙げられる。 The demand estimation unit 146 may not use, for example, a history whose check-in date is a predetermined date for estimation of demand. Examples of such days include special days and exclusion days. A special day is generally a day when the demand for guest rooms is significantly high. Special days include, for example, year-end and New Year holidays, Golden Week, and Bon Festival. Special days are set in advance. For example, a special day table is stored in the storage unit 12. The special day table stores the date of the special day. The exclusion date is set for each accommodation facility. Examples of excluded days include days when there is a special event at the accommodation facility.
　需要推定部１４６は、例えば、割当数が設定される宿泊施設の属性に基づいて、需要の推定に用いる履歴を限定してもよい。例えば、需要推定部１４６は、宿泊施設の周辺にある場所、施設等の情報に基づいて、需要の推定に用いる履歴を限定してもよい。このような情報は、例えば、宿泊施設情報ＤＢ１２ｂに登録される。需要推定部１４６は、宿泊施設の周辺にある場所又は施設が、１年の中で特定の時期に集中して利用される傾向がある場所又は施設である場合、チェックイン日がその特定の時期に含まれる履歴のみを、需要の推定に用いてもよい。例えば、海水浴場は夏に集中して利用され、スキー場は冬に集中して利用される。 The demand estimation part 146 may limit the log | history used for a demand estimation based on the attribute of the accommodation establishment in which the allocation number is set, for example. For example, the demand estimation unit 146 may limit the history used for demand estimation based on information on places, facilities, and the like around the accommodation facility. Such information is registered in the accommodation facility information DB 12b, for example. If the place or facility around the accommodation facility is a place or facility that tends to be concentrated and used at a specific time of the year, the demand estimation unit 146 indicates that the check-in date is the specific time Only the history included in may be used for demand estimation. For example, beaches are concentrated in summer and ski resorts are concentrated in winter.
［４－２．情報処理システムの動作］
　次に、情報処理システムＳの動作について、図１２を用いて説明する。以下に説明する動作例は、割当数が設定される宿泊施設を利用したことがあるユーザの検索履歴を用いて需要を推定する場合の例である。なお、システム制御部１４は、閲覧履歴を用いて需要を推定してもよい。図１２は、本実施形態に係る宿泊施設予約サーバ１のシステム制御部１４による需要推定処理の一例を示すフローチャートである。図１２において、図１０と同様の処理については同様の符号が付されている。図１２に示すように、実績取得部１４２は、ステップＳ７１及びＳ７２を実行する。 [4-2. Operation of information processing system]
Next, the operation of the information processing system S will be described with reference to FIG. The operation example described below is an example in which demand is estimated using a search history of a user who has used an accommodation facility in which the number of allocations is set. The system control unit 14 may estimate the demand using the browsing history. FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a demand estimation process performed by the system control unit 14 of the accommodation facility reservation server 1 according to the present embodiment. 12, processes similar to those in FIG. 10 are given the same reference numerals. As shown in FIG. 12, the performance acquisition unit 142 executes Steps S71 and S72.
　次いで、需要推定部１４６は、予約情報ＤＢ１２ｇから、チェックイン日が過去の日付である予約情報のうち、ｉ番目の宿泊施設ＩＤを含む予約情報を検索する（ステップＳ９１）。このとき、需要推定部１４６は、チェックイン日を、過去の所定期間の範囲内に限定してもよい。次いで、需要推定部１４６は、検索された各予約情報からユーザＩＤを取得する（ステップＳ９２）。次いで、需要推定部１４６は、ステップＳ７３を実行する。次いで、需要推定部１４６は、ステップＳ７３で検索された検索履歴の中から、ステップＳ９２で取得したユーザＩＤの何れかを含む検索履歴を抽出する（ステップＳ９３）。次いで、需要推定部１４６は、ステップＳ９３で抽出された検索履歴に基づいて、実績期間の１日当たりの検索数を計算する（ステップＳ７４）。 Next, the demand estimation unit 146 searches the reservation information DB 12g for reservation information including the i-th accommodation facility ID among reservation information whose check-in date is a past date (step S91). At this time, the demand estimation unit 146 may limit the check-in date within the range of the past predetermined period. Next, the demand estimation unit 146 acquires a user ID from each searched reservation information (step S92). Subsequently, the demand estimation part 146 performs step S73. Next, the demand estimation unit 146 extracts a search history including any of the user IDs acquired in Step S92 from the search history searched in Step S73 (Step S93). Next, the demand estimation unit 146 calculates the number of searches per day in the performance period based on the search history extracted in step S93 (step S74).
　次いで、需要推定部１４６は、ステップＳ７５を実行する。次いで、需要推定部１４６は、ステップＳ７５で検索された検索履歴の中から、ステップＳ９２で取得したユーザＩＤの何れかを含む検索履歴を抽出する（ステップＳ９４）。次いで、需要推定部１４６は、ステップＳ９４で抽出された検索履歴に基づいて、評価期間の１日当たりの検索数を計算する（ステップＳ７６）。そして、需要推定部１４６は、ステップＳ７６～Ｓ７８を実行して、需要推定処理を終了させる。 Then, the demand estimation part 146 performs step S75. Next, the demand estimation unit 146 extracts a search history including any of the user IDs acquired in Step S92 from the search history searched in Step S75 (Step S94). Next, the demand estimation unit 146 calculates the number of searches per day in the evaluation period based on the search history extracted in Step S94 (Step S76). Then, the demand estimation unit 146 executes steps S76 to S78 and ends the demand estimation process.

［５．第５実施形態］
［５－１．システム制御部の機能概要］
　第５実施形態におけるシステム制御部１４の機能について、図１３を用いて説明する。以下に説明する点を除き、第５実施形態は第１実施形態～第４実施形態と基本的に同様である。図１３は、本実施形態に係る宿泊施設予約サーバ１のシステム制御部１４の機能ブロックの一例を示す図である。図１３において、図２（ｂ）と同様の要素については同様の符号が付されている。図１３に示すように、システム制御部１４は、割当数設定部１４１、実績取得部１４２、充足率計算部１４３、優先度決定部１４４、情報提供部１４５、閾値設定部１４７等として機能する。閾値設定部１４７は、本発明における第３提供数取得手段、及び基準値設定手段の一例である。 [5. Fifth Embodiment]
[5-1. Overview of system control functions]
The function of the system control unit 14 in the fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Except as described below, the fifth embodiment is basically the same as the first to fourth embodiments. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of functional blocks of the system control unit 14 of the accommodation facility reservation server 1 according to the present embodiment. In FIG. 13, elements similar to those in FIG. As illustrated in FIG. 13, the system control unit 14 functions as an allocation number setting unit 141, a result acquisition unit 142, a fullness rate calculation unit 143, a priority determination unit 144, an information providing unit 145, a threshold setting unit 147, and the like. The threshold value setting unit 147 is an example of a third provision number acquisition unit and a reference value setting unit in the present invention.
　充足率に基づいて優先度が決定されるとき、閾値設定部１４７は、充足率に対する閾値を設定する。例えば、閾値設定部１４７は、過去の特日における客室の提供数に基づいて、その客室を提供する宿泊施設に対する閾値を設定してもよい。閾値設定部１４７は、提供数が多いほど、閾値を低くする。その理由は、顕著な需要が見込まれる日に十分な数の客室を提供した宿泊施設を優先するためである。閾値設定部１４７は、特日における客室の提供数と、宿泊施設の総客室数から、客室の提供率を計算してもよい。そして、閾値設定部１４７は、提供率が高いほど、閾値を低くしてもよい。また例えば、閾値設定部１４７は、特日における客室の提供数と割当数から、特日の充足率を計算してもよい。そして、閾値設定部１４７は、特日の充足率が高いほど、閾値を低くしてもよい。 When the priority is determined based on the satisfaction rate, the threshold setting unit 147 sets a threshold for the satisfaction rate. For example, the threshold setting unit 147 may set a threshold for an accommodation facility that provides a guest room based on the number of guest rooms provided on the past special day. The threshold setting unit 147 lowers the threshold as the number of provisions increases. The reason is to give preference to accommodation facilities that provide a sufficient number of rooms on the day when significant demand is expected. The threshold setting unit 147 may calculate a guest room provision rate from the number of guest rooms provided on a special day and the total number of guest rooms of the accommodation facility. And the threshold value setting part 147 may make a threshold value low, so that a provision rate is high. Further, for example, the threshold setting unit 147 may calculate the satisfaction rate of the special day from the number of guest rooms provided and the number of allocations on the special day. And the threshold value setting part 147 may make a threshold value low, so that the satisfaction rate of a special day is high.
　例えば、充足率閾値テーブルには、充足率に対する閾値の初期値と優先度とが対応付けて格納されている。閾値設定部１４７は、例えば提供数、提供率又は充足率が大きいほど、閾値を初期値よりも低くしてもよい。或いは、閾値設定部１４７は、例えば提供数、提供率又は充足率が小さいほど、閾値を初期値よりも大きくしてもよい。例えば、提供数（又は、提供率、充足率）の範囲と閾値の補正値とを対応付けた補正値テーブルが記憶部１２に記憶される。閾値設定部１４７は、例えば補正値テーブルを用いて補正値を決定し、閾値に補正値を加算してもよい。 For example, in the satisfaction rate threshold value table, the initial value of the threshold for the satisfaction rate and the priority are stored in association with each other. The threshold value setting unit 147 may lower the threshold value from the initial value, for example, as the number of provisions, the provision rate, or the satisfaction rate is large. Alternatively, the threshold value setting unit 147 may increase the threshold value from the initial value as the number of provisions, the provision rate, or the satisfaction rate is small, for example. For example, the storage unit 12 stores a correction value table in which the range of the number of provisions (or the provision rate and the satisfaction rate) is associated with the correction value of the threshold. The threshold setting unit 147 may determine a correction value using, for example, a correction value table, and add the correction value to the threshold.
［５－２．情報処理システムの動作］
　次に、情報処理システムＳの動作について、図１４を用いて説明する。以下に説明する動作例は、提供率に基づいて閾値を設定する場合の例である。図１４は、本実施形態に係る宿泊施設予約サーバ１のシステム制御部１４による優先度決定処理の一例を示すフローチャートである。図１４において、図７と同様の処理については同様の符号が付されている。 [5-2. Operation of information processing system]
Next, the operation of the information processing system S will be described with reference to FIG. The operation example described below is an example in the case where a threshold is set based on the provision rate. FIG. 14 is a flowchart illustrating an example of priority determination processing by the system control unit 14 of the accommodation facility reservation server 1 according to the present embodiment. 14, processes similar to those in FIG. 7 are denoted by the same reference numerals.
　図１４に示すように、閾値設定部１４７は、特日テーブルから各特日の日付を取得する。次いで、閾値設定部１４７は、空席数ＤＢ１２ｅから、ｉ番目の宿泊施設ＩＤに対応する空席数のうち、過去の所定期間内にある特日に対応する空席数を取得する。また、閾値設定部１４７は、予約数ＤＢ１２ｆから、ｉ番目の宿泊施設ＩＤに対応する予約数のうち、過去の所定期間内にある特日に対応する予約数を取得する（ステップＳ１０１）。 As shown in FIG. 14, the threshold value setting unit 147 acquires the date of each special day from the special day table. Next, the threshold setting unit 147 obtains the number of vacant seats corresponding to the special day within the predetermined period in the past from the number of vacant seats corresponding to the i-th accommodation facility ID from the vacant seat number DB 12e. Further, the threshold setting unit 147 acquires the number of reservations corresponding to the special day within the predetermined period in the past from the number of reservations corresponding to the i-th accommodation facility ID from the reservation number DB 12f (step S101).
　次いで、閾値設定部１４７は、取得した空室数の合計と予約数の合計とを加算して提供数を計算する。次いで、閾値設定部１４７は、提供数を特日の日数で割ることにより、１日当たりの提供数を計算する（ステップＳ１０２）。次いで、閾値設定部１４７は、宿泊施設情報ＤＢ１２ｂから、ｉ番目の宿泊施設ＩＤに対応する総客室数を取得する。次いで、閾値設定部１４７は、１日当たりの提供数を総客室数で割ることにより、提供率を計算する（ステップＳ１０３）。次いで、閾値設定部１４７は、補正値テーブルから提供率に対応する補正値を取得する（ステップＳ１０４）。 Next, the threshold setting unit 147 calculates the number of provisions by adding the acquired total number of vacancies and the total number of reservations. Next, the threshold setting unit 147 calculates the number of provisions per day by dividing the number of provisions by the number of special days (step S102). Next, the threshold setting unit 147 acquires the total number of guest rooms corresponding to the i-th accommodation facility ID from the accommodation facility information DB 12b. Next, the threshold setting unit 147 calculates the provision rate by dividing the number of provisions per day by the total number of guest rooms (step S103). Next, the threshold value setting unit 147 acquires a correction value corresponding to the provision rate from the correction value table (step S104).
　次いで、優先度決定部１４４は、番号ｊを１に設定する（ステップＳ６１）。次いで、閾値設定部１４７は、充足率閾値テーブルから、優先度ｊに対応する閾値を取得する。そして、閾値設定部１４７は、取得した閾値に補正値を加算する（ステップＳ１０５）。次いで、優先度決定部１４４は、充足率計算処理で計算された充足率が、補正後の閾値以上であるか否かを判定する（ステップＳ６２）。このとき、優先度決定部１４４は、充足率が閾値以上ではないと判定した場合には（ステップＳ６３：ＮＯ）、ステップＳ６３に進む。ステップＳ６３において、優先度決定部１４４は、番号ｊに１を加算する。次いで、優先度決定部１４４は、ステップＳ１０５に進む。一方、優先度決定部１４４は、充足率が閾値以上であると判定した場合には（ステップＳ６３：ＹＥＳ）、ステップＳ６４に進む。ステップＳ６４において、優先度決定部１４４は、現在の番号ｊの値を優先度の値に決定する。ステップＳ６４を終えると、優先度決定部１４４は、優先度決定処理を終了させる。 Next, the priority determination unit 144 sets the number j to 1 (step S61). Next, the threshold setting unit 147 acquires a threshold corresponding to the priority j from the satisfaction rate threshold table. Then, the threshold setting unit 147 adds a correction value to the acquired threshold (step S105). Next, the priority determination unit 144 determines whether or not the fullness rate calculated in the fullness rate calculation process is equal to or greater than the corrected threshold value (step S62). At this time, if the priority determination unit 144 determines that the satisfaction rate is not equal to or greater than the threshold (step S63: NO), the priority determination unit 144 proceeds to step S63. In step S63, the priority determination unit 144 adds 1 to the number j. Next, the priority determination unit 144 proceeds to step S105. On the other hand, when the priority determination unit 144 determines that the satisfaction rate is equal to or higher than the threshold (step S63: YES), the priority determination unit 144 proceeds to step S64. In step S64, the priority determination unit 144 determines the value of the current number j as the priority value. When step S64 is completed, the priority determination unit 144 ends the priority determination process.
　以上説明したように、本実施形態によれば、システム制御部１４が、特日の提供数を宿泊施設ごとに取得する。また、システム制御部１４が、特日の提供数に基づいて、充足率に対する閾値を設定する。また、システム制御部１４が、充足率と閾値とに基づいて優先度を決定する。従って、優先度を適切に決定することができる。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, the system control unit 14 acquires the number of special days provided for each accommodation facility. In addition, the system control unit 14 sets a threshold for the sufficiency rate based on the number of special days provided. Further, the system control unit 14 determines the priority based on the fullness rate and the threshold value. Therefore, the priority can be determined appropriately.
［６．第６実施形態］
［６－１．システム制御部の機能概要］
　第６実施形態におけるシステム制御部１４の機能について、図１５を用いて説明する。以下に説明する点を除き、第６実施形態は第２実施形態～第４実施形態と基本的に同様である。図１５は、本実施形態に係る宿泊施設予約サーバ１のシステム制御部１４の機能ブロックの一例を示す図である。図１５において、図８と同様の要素については同様の符号が付されている。図１５に示すように、システム制御部１４は、割当数設定部１４１、実績取得部１４２、充足率計算部１４３、優先度決定部１４４、情報提供部１４５、需要推定部１４６、閾値設定部１４７等として機能する。 [6. Sixth Embodiment]
[6-1. Overview of system control functions]
The function of the system control unit 14 in the sixth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Except as described below, the sixth embodiment is basically the same as the second to fourth embodiments. FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example of functional blocks of the system control unit 14 of the accommodation facility reservation server 1 according to the present embodiment. 15, elements similar to those in FIG. 8 are given the same reference numerals. As illustrated in FIG. 15, the system control unit 14 includes an allocation number setting unit 141, a result acquisition unit 142, a satisfaction rate calculation unit 143, a priority determination unit 144, an information providing unit 145, a demand estimation unit 146, and a threshold setting unit 147. And so on.
　本実施形態において、閾値設定部１４７は、客室に対するユーザの推定需要に基づいて、充足率に対する閾値を決定する。第２実施形態で説明したように、割当数設定部１４１が割当数を設定するとき、評価期間の推定予約数に基づいて割当数を設定している。割当数が設定されてから優先度が決定されるまでに、或る程度の日数が経過している。そのため、優先度の決定時に需要推定部１４６が再度予約数を推定すると、その推定予約数が、割当数の設定時の推定予約数と食い違う可能性がある。例えば、優先度の決定時の推定予約数が割当数の設定時の推定予約数よりも多い場合、設定された割当数は、需要に対して少ない可能性がある。そこで、閾値設定部１４７は、例えば推定予約数の差に基づいて閾値を補正する。例えば、閾値設定部１４７は、優先度の決定時の推定予約数が割当数の設定時の推定予約数に対して多いほど、閾値を高くし、優先度の決定時の推定予約数が割当数の設定時の推定予約数に対して少ないほど、閾値を低くする。例えば、割当数の設定時の推定予約数に対する優先度の決定時の推定予約数の比率の範囲と、閾値の補正値とを対応付けた補正値テーブルが記憶部１２に記憶される。閾値設定部１４７は、例えば補正値テーブルを用いて補正値を決定し、閾値に補正値を加算してもよい。 In the present embodiment, the threshold setting unit 147 determines a threshold for the sufficiency rate based on the user's estimated demand for the guest room. As described in the second embodiment, when the allocation number setting unit 141 sets the allocation number, the allocation number is set based on the estimated reservation number in the evaluation period. A certain number of days have elapsed from the setting of the number of assignments until the priority is determined. Therefore, if the demand estimation unit 146 estimates the number of reservations again when the priority is determined, the estimated number of reservations may be different from the estimated number of reservations at the time of setting the allocation number. For example, if the estimated number of reservations at the time of priority determination is larger than the estimated number of reservations at the time of setting the number of allocations, the set number of allocations may be less than the demand. Therefore, the threshold setting unit 147 corrects the threshold based on, for example, the difference in the estimated number of reservations. For example, the threshold value setting unit 147 increases the threshold value as the estimated reservation number at the time of priority determination is larger than the estimated reservation number at the time of assignment number setting, and the estimated reservation number at the time of priority determination is The smaller the estimated number of reservations at the time of setting, the lower the threshold. For example, the storage unit 12 stores a correction value table in which the range of the ratio of the estimated reservation number at the time of priority determination to the estimated reservation number at the time of setting the allocation number is associated with the threshold correction value. The threshold setting unit 147 may determine a correction value using, for example, a correction value table, and add the correction value to the threshold.
［６－２．情報処理システムの動作］
　次に、情報処理システムＳの動作について、図１６を用いて説明する。図１０～図１２が示す需要推定処理において、推定部１４６は、推定予約数を計算すると（ステップＳ７８）、ｉ番目の宿泊施設ＩＤと、推定予約数と、評価基準日の日付とを対応付けて割当数ＤＢ１２ｄに登録する。 [6-2. Operation of information processing system]
Next, the operation of the information processing system S will be described with reference to FIG. In the demand estimation process shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, when the estimation unit 146 calculates the estimated number of reservations (step S78), the i-th accommodation facility ID, the estimated number of reservations, and the date of the evaluation reference date are associated with each other. To the allocation number DB 12d.
　図１６は、本実施形態に係る宿泊施設予約サーバ１のシステム制御部１４による優先度決定処理の一例を示すフローチャートである。図１６において、図７と同様の処理については同様の符号が付されている。 FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing an example of priority determination processing by the system control unit 14 of the accommodation facility reservation server 1 according to the present embodiment. In FIG. 16, processes similar to those in FIG. 7 are given the same reference numerals.
　図１６に示すように、需要推定部１４６は、需要推定処理を実行する（ステップＳ１１１）。この処理は、図１０～図１２が示す需要推定処理と基本的に同様である。但し、需要推定部１４６は、割当数の設定が行われた日を基準として実績期間を決定し、今日を基準として評価期間を決定する。また、需要推定部１４６は、推定予約数を割当数ＤＢ１２ｄに登録しない。 As shown in FIG. 16, the demand estimation part 146 performs a demand estimation process (step S111). This process is basically the same as the demand estimation process shown in FIGS. However, the demand estimation part 146 determines a performance period on the basis of the day when the allocation number is set, and determines an evaluation period on the basis of today. Further, the demand estimation unit 146 does not register the estimated reservation number in the allocation number DB 12d.
　次いで、閾値設定部１４７は、割当数ＤＢ１２から、ｉ番目の宿泊施設ＩＤと今日の日付とに対応する推定予約数を取得する（ステップＳ１１２）。次いで、閾値設定部１４７は、ステップＳ１１１で計算された推定予約数を、ステップＳ１１２で取得された推定予約数で割ることにより、推定予約数の比率を計算する（ステップＳ１１３）。次いで、閾値設定部１４７は、補正値テーブルから比率に対応する補正値を取得する（ステップＳ１１４）。 Next, the threshold setting unit 147 acquires the estimated number of reservations corresponding to the i-th accommodation facility ID and today's date from the allocation number DB 12 (step S112). Next, the threshold setting unit 147 calculates the ratio of the estimated reservation number by dividing the estimated reservation number calculated in step S111 by the estimated reservation number acquired in step S112 (step S113). Next, the threshold value setting unit 147 acquires a correction value corresponding to the ratio from the correction value table (step S114).
　次いで、優先度決定部１４４は、番号ｊを１に設定する（ステップＳ６１）。次いで、閾値設定部１４７は、充足率閾値テーブルから、優先度ｊに対応する閾値を取得する。そして、閾値設定部１４７は、取得した閾値に補正値を加算する（ステップＳ１１５）。次いで、優先度決定部１４４は、充足率計算処理で計算された充足率が、補正後の閾値以上であるか否かを判定する（ステップＳ６２）。このとき、優先度決定部１４４は、充足率が閾値以上ではないと判定した場合には（ステップＳ６３：ＮＯ）、ステップＳ６３に進む。ステップＳ６３において、優先度決定部１４４は、番号ｊに１を加算する。次いで、優先度決定部１４４は、ステップＳ１１５に進む。一方、優先度決定部１４４は、充足率が閾値以上であると判定した場合には（ステップＳ６３：ＹＥＳ）、ステップＳ６４に進む。ステップＳ６４において、優先度決定部１４４は、現在の番号ｊの値を優先度の値に決定する。ステップＳ６４を終えると、優先度決定部１４４は、優先度決定処理を終了させる。 Next, the priority determination unit 144 sets the number j to 1 (step S61). Next, the threshold setting unit 147 acquires a threshold corresponding to the priority j from the satisfaction rate threshold table. Then, the threshold setting unit 147 adds a correction value to the acquired threshold (step S115). Next, the priority determination unit 144 determines whether or not the fullness rate calculated in the fullness rate calculation process is equal to or greater than the corrected threshold value (step S62). At this time, if the priority determination unit 144 determines that the satisfaction rate is not equal to or greater than the threshold (step S63: NO), the priority determination unit 144 proceeds to step S63. In step S63, the priority determination unit 144 adds 1 to the number j. Next, the priority determination unit 144 proceeds to step S115. On the other hand, when the priority determination unit 144 determines that the satisfaction rate is equal to or higher than the threshold (step S63: YES), the priority determination unit 144 proceeds to step S64. In step S64, the priority determination unit 144 determines the value of the current number j as the priority value. When step S64 is completed, the priority determination unit 144 ends the priority determination process.
　以上説明したように、本実施形態によれば、システム制御部１４が、記憶部１２に記憶された所定行為の履歴であって、所定行為の対象とされた宿泊施設の宿泊施設ＩＤを含む履歴に基づいて、客室に対する需要を宿泊施設ごとに推定する。また、システム制御部１４が、推定された需要に基づいて、充足率に対する閾値を設定する。また、システム制御部１４が、充足率と閾値とに基づいて優先度を決定する。従って、優先度を適切に決定することができる。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, the system control unit 14 is a history of the predetermined action stored in the storage unit 12 and includes the accommodation facility ID of the accommodation facility that is the target of the predetermined action. Based on the above, the demand for the guest room is estimated for each accommodation facility. In addition, the system control unit 14 sets a threshold for the sufficiency rate based on the estimated demand. Further, the system control unit 14 determines the priority based on the fullness rate and the threshold value. Therefore, the priority can be determined appropriately.
［７．第７実施形態］
　第７実施形態におけるシステム制御部１４の機能について説明する。以下に説明する点を除き、第７実施形態は第１実施形態～第４実施形態と基本的に同様である。本実施形態において、閾値設定部１４７は、稼働率に基づいて、充足率に対する閾値を決定する。例えば、閾値設定部１４７は、優先度を決定する宿泊施設について予約が確定している所定期間における提供数と予約数に基づいて、優先度を決定する宿泊施設の稼働率を計算する。閾値設定部１４７は、例えば稼働率が低いほど、低い閾値を決定してもよい。例えば、稼働率の範囲と、閾値の補正値とを対応付けた補正値テーブルが記憶部１２に記憶される。閾値設定部１４７は、例えば補正値テーブルを用いて補正値を決定し、補正値を閾値に加算してもよい。また例えば、閾値設定部１４７は、充足率が低い場合にのみ、稼働率に基づいて閾値を決定してもよい。この場合も、閾値設定部１４７は、稼働率が低いほど低い閾値を決定してもよい。例えば、充足率が所定値以上である場合、閾値設定部１４７は、充足率閾値テーブルに格納されている閾値を、そのまま優先度を決定するための閾値に決定してもよい。充足率が所定値未満である場合、閾値設定部１４７は、例えば、稼働率に基づいて補正値を決定し、補正値を閾値に加算することにより、優先度を決定するための閾値を決定してもよい。 [7. Seventh Embodiment]
The function of the system control unit 14 in the seventh embodiment will be described. Except for points described below, the seventh embodiment is basically the same as the first to fourth embodiments. In the present embodiment, the threshold setting unit 147 determines a threshold for the sufficiency rate based on the operating rate. For example, the threshold setting unit 147 calculates the operating rate of the accommodation facility that determines the priority based on the number of provisions and the number of reservations in a predetermined period in which the reservation is determined for the accommodation facility that determines the priority. For example, the threshold setting unit 147 may determine a lower threshold as the operating rate is lower. For example, the storage unit 12 stores a correction value table in which the range of the operation rate is associated with the threshold correction value. The threshold setting unit 147 may determine a correction value using, for example, a correction value table and add the correction value to the threshold. For example, the threshold setting unit 147 may determine the threshold based on the operating rate only when the fullness rate is low. Also in this case, the threshold setting unit 147 may determine a lower threshold as the operating rate is lower. For example, when the satisfaction rate is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the threshold setting unit 147 may determine the threshold stored in the satisfaction rate threshold table as a threshold for determining the priority as it is. When the sufficiency rate is less than the predetermined value, the threshold value setting unit 147 determines a correction value based on, for example, the operating rate, and determines a threshold value for determining the priority by adding the correction value to the threshold value. May be.
