Description
本発明は、インターネットを介して受け取る予約依頼信号に基づいて宿泊施設における各部屋の事前予約状態を管理する宿泊管理システムに関する。 The present invention relates to an accommodation management system that manages advance reservation status of each room in an accommodation facility based on a reservation request signal received via the Internet.
従来より、例えば、その地域特有の魅力が十分にあるにも関わらず、旅行者の来訪に伸び悩む地域が世界各地に数多く点在していることが一般的に知られている。特に有名な観光都市に隣接する地域においては、宿泊客をそれら有名な観光都市に奪われる可能性が高く、その地域を活性化させるために宿泊施設を新たに建設するといったリスクを冒してまで多大な投資を行うことができないのが現状である。 For example, it has been generally known that there are many regions around the world that are sluggish in attracting tourists, even though they have plenty of unique charm. Especially in areas adjacent to famous tourist cities, there is a high possibility that guests will be lost to those famous tourist cities, and it is necessary to take the risk of constructing new accommodation facilities to revitalize the area. The current situation is that it is not possible to make such investments.
これに対応するために、例えば、特許文献１に開示されているように、それらの地域に既に存在する宿泊施設を利用して旅行者がその地域に足を運び易くなるようにする方法が考えられる。すなわち、その地域に既に存在する宿泊施設の本所有者と契約を結んで部屋の仮想的な所有者になり、仮想的に所有している部屋に宿泊者が泊まると、宿泊代金の一部をその仮想的な所有者が受け取るような仕組みである。このような仕組みにすることで、その地域から遠く離れた場所に仮想的な所有者が住んでいてもその宿泊施設のある地域をアピールすることで集客力を上げることができる可能性がある。 In order to deal with this, for example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, a method has been considered to make it easier for travelers to visit those areas by using accommodation facilities that already exist in those areas. It will be done. In other words, you become the virtual owner of a room by entering into a contract with the owner of an accommodation facility that already exists in the area, and when a guest stays in a room that you virtually own, you receive a portion of the accommodation fee. The mechanism is such that the virtual owner receives the money. By creating a system like this, even if the virtual owner lives far from the area, it is possible to increase the ability to attract customers by promoting the area where the accommodation facility is located.
しかし、上述の如き仕組みは、その宿泊施設のある地域の活性化には貢献できる可能性はあるものの、稼働率が上がらない場合には、投資が嵩むという問題は依然として残る。 However, although the above-mentioned system may contribute to the revitalization of the area where the accommodation facility is located, the problem of increased investment remains if the occupancy rate does not increase.
また、近年では、宿泊施設の部屋の予約はほとんどの場合がインターネットを介して行われ、上述の如き宿泊施設の仮想的な所有者がインターネットを介して受け取る予約依頼信号を実際にどのように処理をするのかということについて特許文献１では何ら記載されていない。 Furthermore, in recent years, reservations for rooms at accommodation facilities are almost always made via the Internet, and it is difficult to understand how the virtual owner of the accommodation facility described above actually processes the reservation request signal received via the Internet. Patent Document 1 does not mention anything about whether to do so.
本発明は、懸かる点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的とするところは、宿泊施設が所在する地域の発展に寄与できるとともに、その宿泊施設の部屋を仮想的に所有する全ての人が多くの利益を得ることができる宿泊管理システムを提供することにある。 The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and its purpose is to contribute to the development of the area where the accommodation facility is located, and to make it possible for all the people who virtually own rooms in the accommodation facility to The objective is to provide an accommodation management system that can provide many benefits.
上記の目的を達成するために、本発明は、予約依頼信号を受け取った際、その予約をある条件下に基づいて、宿泊施設の仮想的な各所有者のうちの１人の仮想的に所有する部屋に予約があったものとして振分処理を行うよう構成されていることを特徴とする。 To achieve the above object, the present invention provides that upon receiving a reservation request signal, the reservation is transferred to the virtual ownership of one of the virtual owners of the accommodation facility based on certain conditions. The present invention is characterized in that the system is configured to perform distribution processing on the assumption that a room has been booked.
具体的には、インターネットを介して受け取る予約依頼信号に基づいて宿泊施設における各部屋の事前予約状態を管理する宿泊管理システムを対象とし、次のような解決手段を講じた。 Specifically, the following solutions were developed for an accommodation management system that manages the advance reservation status of each room in an accommodation facility based on reservation request signals received via the Internet.
すなわち、第１の発明では、上記宿泊施設の事前予約において日数Ｐの期間に提供可能な部屋数をＮとした際、上記宿泊施設の本所有者と契約を結んで部屋の仮想的な所有者になる契約部屋所有者Ｘ１、Ｘ２、・・・、Ｘｎに対して上記宿泊施設の本所有者がそれぞれ仮想的に提供し、且つ、上記各契約部屋所有者がそれぞれ所有する情報処理端末により予約を受け取ることが可能な提供部屋の提供部屋数Ｙ１、Ｙ２、・・・、Ｙｎ（Ｎ≧Ｙ１＋・・・＋Ｙｎ）を記憶する提供部屋数記憶部と、上記各提供部屋数Ｙ１、Ｙ２、・・・、Ｙｎにおける予約数Ｚ１、Ｚ２、・・・、Ｚｎを日数Ｐの期間の初日から順にそれぞれ演算する予約部屋数演算部と、仮想的に所有する部屋の予約数が予め決められた設定値Ｇ以上になった契約部屋所有者Ｈが存在する状態か、或いは、上記宿泊施設に対する予約依頼信号を上記各契約部屋所有者の情報処理端末を経由せずに直接的に受けた状態である部屋振分開始状態Ａであるか否かを判定する振分開始判定部と、該振分開始判定部が上記部屋振分開始状態Ａであると判定した際、上記予約部屋数演算部で演算した予約数Ｚ１、Ｚ２、・・・、Ｚｎのうち最低予約数である状態の契約部屋所有者が１人の場合には、当該契約部屋所有者が仮想的に所有する部屋に予約があったものとして上記契約部屋所有者Ｈが所有する予約か、或いは、直接的に上記宿泊施設で受けた予約の振分処理を行う一方、上記予約部屋数演算部で演算した予約数Ｚ１、Ｚ２、・・・、Ｚｎのうち最低予約数である状態の契約部屋所有者が２人以上の場合には、予め決められた優先順位にて選ばれた契約部屋所有者が仮想的に所有する部屋に予約があったものとして上記契約部屋所有者Ｈが所有する予約か、或いは、直接的に上記宿泊施設で受けた予約の振分処理を行い、上記振分開始判定部が上記部屋振分開始状態Ａでないと判定した際、予約の振分処理を行わないよう構成された予約振分処理部とを備えていることを特徴とする。 That is, in the first invention, when the number of rooms that can be provided in a period of days P in the advance reservation of the accommodation facility is N, a virtual owner of the room enters into a contract with the main owner of the accommodation facility. The main owner of the above accommodation facility provides the contract room owners X1, X2, ..., Xn virtually, and the reservation is made using the information processing terminal owned by each of the contract room owners. a provided room number storage unit that stores the number of provided rooms Y1, Y2, ..., Yn (N≧Y1+...+Yn) of the provided rooms that can receive the provided rooms; ..., a number of reserved rooms calculating section that calculates the number of reservations Z1, Z2, ..., Zn in order from the first day of the period of days P, and a setting in which the number of reserved rooms that are virtually owned is predetermined. Either there is a contracted room owner H whose value is equal to or higher than the value G, or a state where a reservation request signal for the accommodation facility is directly received without going through the information processing terminal of each of the contracted room owners. an allocation start determination unit that determines whether or not the room allocation start state A is in effect; and when the allocation start determination unit determines that the room allocation start state A is in the room allocation start state A, the number of reserved rooms calculation unit calculates If there is one contracted room owner with the minimum number of reservations Z1, Z2, ..., Zn, there is a reservation in a room virtually owned by the contracted room owner. As a result, the reservations owned by the contracted room owner H or the reservations directly received at the accommodation facility are distributed, and the number of reservations Z1, Z2, . ..., If there are two or more contract room owners with the minimum number of reservations among Zn, reservations will be made to rooms virtually owned by contract room owners selected in a predetermined priority order. The reservation owned by the contracted room owner H or the reservation directly received at the accommodation facility will be distributed, and the distribution start determination unit will set the room distribution start state A. The present invention is characterized by comprising a reservation distribution processing section configured not to perform reservation distribution processing when it is determined that the reservation is not distributed.
第２の発明では、第１の発明において、上記振分開始判定部は、日数Ｐの期間を経過した際に上記部屋振分開始状態Ａであるか否かを判定するよう構成されていることを特徴とする。 In a second invention, in the first invention, the allocation start determination unit is configured to determine whether or not the room allocation start state A is reached when a period of days P has elapsed. It is characterized by
第３の発明では、第１又は第２の発明において、上記予約振分処理部は、上記宿泊施設に対する予約依頼信号を直接的に受けた際、Ｎ－（Ｙ１＋・・・＋Ｙｎ）＞０の状態であると、予約の振分処理を行わないよう構成されていることを特徴とする。 In a third invention, in the first or second invention, when the reservation distribution processing unit directly receives the reservation request signal for the accommodation facility, the In the state, the reservation distribution processing is not performed.
第４の発明では、第１から第３のいずれか１つの発明において、上記設定値Ｇには、上記各契約部屋所有者が所望する稼働率がそれぞれ設定されていることを特徴とする。 A fourth invention is characterized in that in any one of the first to third inventions, the set value G is set to an occupancy rate desired by each of the contracted room owners.
第５の発明では、第１から第４のいずれか１つの発明において、上記提供部屋数記憶部は、上記各提供部屋数Ｙ１、Ｙ２、・・・、Ｙｎの一部の部屋を繁忙日用部屋Ｒに設定可能に構成され、上記振分開始判定部は、上記部屋振分開始状態Ａであるか否かを判定した後、さらに仮想的に所有する部屋の繁忙日用部屋Ｒの予約数が予め決められた設定値Ｇ’以上になった契約部屋所有者Ｈ’が存在する部屋振分開始状態Ｂであるか否かを判定し、上記予約振分処理部は、上記振分開始判定部が上記部屋振分開始状態Ｂであると判定した際、上記予約部屋数演算部で演算した予約数Ｚ１、Ｚ２、・・・、Ｚｎのうち繁忙日用部屋Ｒが最低予約数である状態の契約部屋所有者が１人の場合には、当該契約部屋所有者が仮想的に所有する繁忙日部屋Ｒに予約があったものとして上記契約部屋所有者Ｈ’が所有する繁忙日部屋Ｒの予約か、或いは、直接的に上記宿泊施設で受けた繁忙日部屋Ｒの予約の振分処理を行う一方、上記予約部屋数演算部で演算した予約数Ｚ１、Ｚ２、・・・、Ｚｎのうち繁忙日用部屋Ｒが最低予約数である状態の契約部屋所有者が２人以上の場合には、予め決められた優先順位にて選ばれた契約部屋所有者が仮想的に所有する繁忙日部屋Ｒに予約があったものとして上記契約部屋所有者Ｈ’が所有する繁忙日部屋Ｒの予約か、或いは、直接的に上記宿泊施設で受けた繁忙日部屋Ｒの予約の振分処理を行い、上記振分開始判定部が上記部屋振分開始状態Ｂでないと判定した際、繁忙日部屋Ｒにおける予約の振分処理を行わないよう構成されていることを特徴とする。 In a fifth invention, in any one of the first to fourth inventions, the provided room number storage unit stores some of the provided rooms Y1, Y2, ..., Yn for busy days. After determining whether or not the room distribution start state A is set, the distribution start determination unit further determines the number of reservations for the busy day room R of the virtually owned rooms. The reservation allocation processing unit determines whether or not the room allocation start state B exists in which there is a contracted room owner H' for whom G' is equal to or higher than a predetermined set value G', and the reservation allocation processing unit determines whether or not the room allocation start state A state in which the busy day room R has the lowest number of reservations among the number of reservations Z1, Z2, . If there is only one contracted room owner, it is assumed that there is a reservation for the busy day room R virtually owned by the contracted room owner, and the reservation is made for the busy day room R owned by the contracted room owner H'. While processing reservations or directly allocating reservations for rooms R on busy days received at the above accommodation facility, among the number of reservations Z1, Z2, ..., Zn calculated by the number of reserved rooms calculation section, If there are two or more contract room owners with the minimum number of reservations for the busy day room R, the busy day room is virtually owned by the contract room owners selected in a predetermined priority order. Assuming that R has a reservation, the reservation for the busy day room R owned by the above-mentioned contracted room owner H' is processed, or the reservation for the busy day room R directly received at the above accommodation facility is processed. The present invention is characterized in that, when the distribution start determination unit determines that the room distribution start state B is not established, the reservation processing for the busy day room R is not performed.
第６の発明では、第１から第５のいずれか１つの発明において、上記予約振分処理部が予約振分処理を行った際、上記各契約部屋所有者のうちの予約が振り分けられた側の所有者及び振り分ける側の所有者の少なくとも一方の情報処理端末に予約振分処理が行われた通知を行う予約振分通知部を備えていることを特徴とする。 In a sixth invention, in any one of the first to fifth inventions, when the reservation distribution processing unit performs reservation distribution processing, the side to which reservations are distributed among the contracted room owners. The present invention is characterized by comprising a reservation distribution notification unit that notifies at least one of the information processing terminal of the owner of the book and the owner of the distribution side that the reservation distribution process has been performed.
第１の発明では、宿泊施設の所有者は、自ら行う集客努力だけでなく、各契約部屋所有者による集客努力により、集客力を上げることができるので、宿泊施設の稼働率を上げることができるとともに、地域の発展に寄与することができる。また、各契約部屋所有者は、その宿泊施設のある地域から離れていてもその地域をアピールし、且つ、自分が所有する情報処理端末において予約を受け取ることにより、宿泊施設における仮想的に所有する部屋の稼働率を上げることができる。したがって、宿泊施設が所在する地域の発展に寄与できるとともに、各契約部屋所有者の自らの努力により利益を得ることができる。もし仮に、仮想的に所有する部屋の稼働率が悪い場合であっても、予約の多い所有者から予約が振り分けられるので、仮想的に所有する部屋の稼働率が極端に悪くなるといったことを避けることができる。例えば、契約部屋所有者の１人が仮想的に所有する部屋の予約枠が設定値に到達するとともにさらに予約を受け取った場合において、他の契約部屋所有者の仮想的に所有する部屋に予約を振り分ける代わりにその部屋の売り上げの一部を受け取る契約を施しておけば、宿泊施設全体の稼働率を上げながら、各契約部屋所有者における利益を追求することができるようになる。一方、直接的に宿泊施設に入る予約を各契約部屋所有者が仮想的に所有する部屋に予約があったものとして順に振り分けるようにすることで、各契約部屋所有者における宿泊施設に対する投資のリスクを最小限に抑えることができる。このように、その宿泊施設の部屋を仮想的に所有する全ての人にとって多くの利益が得られるようになり、投資に対するリスクを最小限に抑えることができる。 In the first invention, the owner of the accommodation facility can increase his ability to attract customers not only by his own efforts to attract customers, but also by the efforts of each contracted room owner to attract customers, thereby increasing the occupancy rate of the accommodation facility. At the same time, it is possible to contribute to regional development. In addition, each contracted room owner can promote the area even if they are far from the area where the accommodation facility is located, and by receiving reservations on their own information processing terminal, they can virtually own the property at the accommodation facility. You can increase the occupancy rate of the room. Therefore, it is possible to contribute to the development of the area where the accommodation facility is located, and to earn profits through the efforts of each contracted room owner. Even if the occupancy rate of a virtually owned room is poor, the reservations will be distributed to the owner who has the most reservations, so the occupancy rate of a virtually owned room will not be extremely poor. be able to. For example, if the reservation limit for a room virtually owned by one of the contract room owners reaches the set value and additional reservations are received, the reservation limit for a room virtually owned by one of the contract room owners may be reserved. By making a contract to receive a portion of the sales of the room instead of dividing it, it becomes possible to increase the occupancy rate of the entire accommodation facility while pursuing profit for each contracted room owner. On the other hand, by distributing reservations directly to accommodation facilities as if they were reserved to rooms virtually owned by each contract room owner, the risk of each contract room owner's investment in the accommodation facility is reduced. can be minimized. In this way, everyone who virtually owns a room in the accommodation facility can gain a lot of benefits, and the risk to their investment can be minimized.
第２の発明では、予約が入る毎にその予約を振り分けるシステムに比べて、システムの処理が簡単になるので、当該システムに掛かる負荷を小さくすることができる。 In the second invention, compared to a system that distributes reservations each time a reservation is received, the processing of the system is simpler, so the load placed on the system can be reduced.
第３の発明では、例えば、提供可能な部屋数Ｎの全てを契約部屋所有者に提供していない場合において、宿泊施設の本所有者自身の利益が少なくなり過ぎるのを防ぐことができるので、各契約部屋所有者だけでなく、本所有者の利益の追求も行うことができる。 In the third invention, for example, in a case where not all of the available rooms N are provided to the contracted room owner, it is possible to prevent the profit of the owner of the accommodation facility from becoming too small. It is possible to pursue the interests of not only each contracted room owner but also the main owner.
第４の発明では、もし仮に、設定値Ｇを利益が出るとされる稼働率に設定しておけば、予約を振り分ける側の契約部屋所有者にも利益が得られるようになる一方、振り分けられる側の契約部屋所有者も予約数が増えるので利益が上がるようになる。したがって、振り分けた側及び振り分けられた側の両方共に利益を追求できる。 In the fourth invention, if the set value G is set to an occupancy rate that is considered to be profitable, the contracted room owner who distributes reservations will also be able to earn a profit, while also being able to distribute reservations. The contract room owners on the other side will also be able to increase their profits as the number of reservations increases. Therefore, both the allotted party and the allotted party can pursue profits.
第５の発明では、利益の出やすい繁忙日の予約を各契約部屋所有者に偏り無く振り分けるようになるので、各契約部屋所有者間の不公平感を極力少なくしながら全ての契約部屋所有者の利益を追求することができる。 In the fifth invention, reservations for busy days when profits are likely to be made are distributed evenly to each contract room owner, so that all contract room owners can pursue profits.
第６の発明では、各契約部屋所有者が予約振分通知部による通知を見ながらリアルタイムに部屋の価格を変動させる等の経営方針の変更が行えるようになるので、各契約部屋所有者による利益を追求するための取り組みがさらに行い易くなる。 In the sixth invention, each contract room owner can change the management policy such as changing the price of the room in real time while watching the notification from the reservation allocation notification section, so that each contract room owner can make profit. Efforts to pursue this will become easier.
以下、本発明の実施形態を図面に基づいて詳細に説明する。尚、以下の好ましい実施形態の説明は、本質的に例示に過ぎない。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings. It should be noted that the following description of preferred embodiments is essentially only an example.
《発明の実施形態１》
図１は、本発明の実施形態１に係る宿泊管理システム１を用いたビジネスモデル１０を示す。該ビジネスモデル１０は、投資のリスクを最小限に抑えながら世界各地に点在する魅力ある地域の活性化を目的として考えられたものであり、図１の場合では、異なる地域Ｒ１～Ｒ４にそれぞれ存在する各宿泊施設２の所有者が、他の所有者が所有する宿泊施設２の部屋を仮想的に所有する契約を結ぶとともに、例えば、自らが所有する宿泊施設２に来訪する旅行者等に対して仮想的に部屋を所有する宿泊施設２やその宿泊施設２の所在する地域をアピールすることによって仮想的に所有する宿泊施設２の稼働率を上げようとするものである。
《Embodiment 1 of the invention》
FIG. 1 shows a business model 10 using an accommodation management system 1 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Business model 10 was conceived with the aim of revitalizing attractive regions scattered around the world while minimizing investment risk. In the case of Figure 1, business model 10 The owner of each existing accommodation facility 2 enters into a contract to virtually own a room in the accommodation facility 2 owned by another owner, and, for example, the owner of each accommodation facility 2 that exists enters into a contract to virtually own a room in the accommodation facility 2 owned by another owner. On the other hand, it attempts to increase the occupancy rate of the virtually owned accommodation facility 2 by promoting the accommodation facility 2 in which the room is virtually owned and the area in which the accommodation facility 2 is located.
尚、以下では、地域Ｒ１に存在する宿泊施設２をゲストハウス２Ａとし、地域Ｒ２に存在する宿泊施設２をビジネスホテル２Ｂとし、地域Ｒ３に存在する宿泊施設２を旅館２Ｃとし、地域Ｒ４に存在する宿泊施設２をペンション２Ｄとして説明する。 In addition, below, the accommodation facility 2 existing in area R1 is referred to as a guest house 2A, the accommodation facility 2 existing in area R2 is referred to as a business hotel 2B, the accommodation facility 2 existing in area R3 is referred to as an inn 2C, and the accommodation facility 2 existing in area R4 is referred to as an inn 2C. The accommodation facility 2 will be explained as a pension 2D.
また、宿泊管理システム１を用いて上述のビジネスモデル１０を実施するために、ゲストハウス２Ａの所有者は、ビジネスホテル２Ｂの経営者Ｘ１（契約部屋所有者）、旅館２Ｃの経営者Ｘ２（契約部屋所有者）、及び、ペンション２Ｄの経営者Ｘ３（契約部屋所有者）とそれぞれ契約を結んでゲストハウス２Ａの部屋の予約枠をそれぞれ契約に基づいた数だけ提供し、経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３にゲストハウス２Ａにおける仮想的な部屋の所有者になってもらう。そして、経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３がそれぞれ所有する仮想的な部屋に宿泊があった場合には、ゲストハウス２Ａの本所有者がその宿泊のあった仮想的な部屋を所有する経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３に対して売り上げの一部を契約に基づいて支払うものとする。例えば、ビジネスホテル２Ｂの経営者Ｘ１は、ゲストハウス２Ａの所有者からゲストハウス２Ａの部屋の毎月の予約枠（例えば、１０部屋）を所定額（例えば、１５万円）と引き換えに受け取り、１部屋１泊当たりの料金設定を、上記所定額を予約枠数で割った額より大きい金額（例えば、３万円）とすることで、予約枠のうち所定の枠数（例えば、５部屋）に予約数が達するまでは売上額をゲストハウス２Ａ（の所有者）に支払う処理を行い、所定の枠数を上回った場合に、売上額をビジネスホテル２Ｂ（の経営者）に支払う処理を行うことができる。これにより、ゲストハウスの所有者は、部屋の稼働率を上げることができる一方、ゲストハウスの仮想所有者は、自助努力によって宿泊客を送客し、料金設定と予約数に応じて利益を得ることができる。 In addition, in order to implement the above-mentioned business model 10 using the accommodation management system 1, the owner of the guest house 2A, the manager X1 (contract room owner) of the business hotel 2B, the manager X2 (contract room owner) of the inn 2C, Owner) and manager X3 (contracted room owner) of Pension 2D, respectively, and provide the number of reservation slots for guest house 2A rooms based on the contract respectively, and provide managers X1 to X3 with guest house 2A. Become the owner of a virtual room in . If there is an overnight stay in a virtual room owned by each of the managers X1 to X3, the principal owner of Guest House 2A will contact the managers X1 to X3 who own the virtual room in which the guest house 2A has stayed. A portion of the sales will be paid based on the contract. For example, the manager of business hotel 2B, X1, receives a monthly reservation limit (for example, 10 rooms) for guest house 2A's rooms from the owner of guest house 2A in exchange for a predetermined amount (for example, 150,000 yen), and By setting the price per night to an amount greater than the above predetermined amount divided by the number of reservation slots (for example, 30,000 yen), the number of reservations for the predetermined number of reservation slots (for example, 5 rooms) can be set. The sales amount can be paid to (the owner of) the guest house 2A until the number of quotas is reached, and when the amount exceeds a predetermined number of quotas, the sales amount can be paid to (the manager of) the business hotel 2B. This allows the guest house owner to increase the occupancy rate of the rooms, while the virtual owner of the guest house can send guests through self-help efforts and earn profits based on pricing and number of reservations. can.
ゲストハウス２Ａには、インターネットに繋がれた情報処理端末３が配設されている。また、ビジネスホテル２Ｂ、旅館２Ｃ及びペンション２Ｄは、それぞれ情報処理端末４、情報処理端末５及び情報処理端末６を所有している。 The guest house 2A is equipped with an information processing terminal 3 connected to the Internet. Further, the business hotel 2B, the inn 2C, and the pension 2D each own an information processing terminal 4, an information processing terminal 5, and an information processing terminal 6.
情報処理端末３～６には、上記宿泊管理システム１が組み込まれている。該宿泊管理システム１は、インターネットを介して受け取る予約依頼信号Ｃ１～Ｃ４に基づいてゲストハウス２Ａにおける各部屋の事前予約状態を管理するようになっている。尚、本発明の実施形態１の場合、予約依頼信号Ｃ１は、ゲストハウス２Ａの情報処理端末３が宿泊者Ｖ１から直接的に受け取った信号とし、予約依頼信号Ｃ２は、ビジネスホテル２Ｂの情報処理端末４が宿泊者Ｖ２から受け取るとともに情報処理端末４からゲストハウス２Ａの情報処理端末３に送られた信号とし、予約依頼信号Ｃ３は、旅館２Ｃの情報処理端末５が宿泊者Ｖ３から受け取るとともに情報処理端末５からゲストハウス２Ａの情報処理端末３に送られた信号とし、予約依頼信号Ｃ４は、ペンション２Ｄの情報処理端末６が宿泊者Ｖ４から受け取るとともに情報処理端末６からゲストハウス２Ａの情報処理端末３に送られた信号とする。 The accommodation management system 1 is incorporated into the information processing terminals 3 to 6. The accommodation management system 1 manages the advance reservation status of each room in the guest house 2A based on reservation request signals C1 to C4 received via the Internet. In the case of the first embodiment of the present invention, the reservation request signal C1 is a signal received directly from the guest V1 by the information processing terminal 3 of the guest house 2A, and the reservation request signal C2 is a signal received by the information processing terminal 3 of the business hotel 2B. 4 is a signal received from the guest V2 and sent from the information processing terminal 4 to the information processing terminal 3 of the guest house 2A, and a reservation request signal C3 is a signal received by the information processing terminal 5 of the inn 2C from the guest V3 and sent from the information processing terminal 4 to the information processing terminal 3 of the guest house 2A. The reservation request signal C4 is received by the information processing terminal 6 of the pension 2D from the guest V4, and is also sent from the information processing terminal 6 to the information processing terminal 3 of the guest house 2A. signal.
宿泊管理システム１は、図２に示すように、提供部屋数記憶部１ａ、予約部屋数演算部１ｂ、振分開始判定部１ｃ、予約振分処理部１ｄ及び予約振分通知部１ｅを有している。 As shown in FIG. 2, the accommodation management system 1 includes a number of provided rooms storage section 1a, a number of reserved rooms calculation section 1b, a distribution start determination section 1c, a reservation distribution processing section 1d, and a reservation distribution notification section 1e. ing.
提供部屋数記憶部１ａは、ゲストハウス２Ａの事前予約において日数Ｐの期間に提供可能な部屋数をＮとした際、ビジネスホテル２Ｂの経営者Ｘ１、旅館２Ｃの経営者Ｘ２及びペンション２Ｄの経営者Ｘ３に対してゲストハウス２Ａの所有者が契約によってそれぞれ仮想的に提供する提供部屋数Ｙ１、Ｙ２、Ｙ３（Ｎ＝Ｙ１＋Ｙ２＋Ｙ３）を記憶するようになっている。 The storage unit 1a for the number of rooms provided stores information about the number of rooms that can be provided in a period of days P in the advance reservation of the guest house 2A, and the manager X1 of the business hotel 2B, the manager X2 of the inn 2C, and the manager X2 of the pension 2D. The number of rooms Y1, Y2, and Y3 (N=Y1+Y2+Y3) that the owner of the guest house 2A virtually provides for X3 based on the contract is stored.
予約部屋数演算部１ｂは、各提供部屋数Ｙ１、Ｙ２、Ｙ３における予約数Ｚ１、Ｚ２、Ｚ３を日数Ｐの期間の初日から順に、または、日数Ｐの期間の所定のタイミングにおいて、それぞれ演算するようになっている。 The number of reserved rooms calculation unit 1b calculates the number of reservations Z1, Z2, and Z3 for each number of provided rooms Y1, Y2, and Y3 in order from the first day of a period of number of days P, or at a predetermined timing of a period of number of days P, respectively. It looks like this.
振分開始判定部１ｃは、所定期間経過時においてゲストハウス２Ａに対する予約依頼信号Ｃ１～Ｃ４を受け取った際、予め決められた部屋振分開始状態Ａであるか否かを判定するようになっている。 When the allocation start determination unit 1c receives reservation request signals C1 to C4 for the guest house 2A after a predetermined period of time has elapsed, it determines whether or not a predetermined room allocation start state A is reached. .
本発明の実施形態１における部屋振分開始状態Ａの１つは、ビジネスホテル２Ｂの経営者Ｘ１、旅館２Ｃの経営者Ｘ２及びペンション２Ｄの経営者Ｘ３の各情報処理端末４～６を経由してゲストハウス２Ａに対する予約依頼信号Ｃ２～Ｃ４を受け取るとともに、当該予約依頼信号Ｃ２～Ｃ４が経由した情報処理端末４～６を所有する経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３の仮想的に所有する部屋が全て埋まっている状態である。つまり、仮想的に所有する部屋の予約数が全て埋まった経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３のうちの１人（契約部屋所有者Ｈと呼ぶ）が存在する状態である。 One of the room allocation start states A in Embodiment 1 of the present invention is that the information processing terminals 4 to 6 of the manager X1 of the business hotel 2B, the manager X2 of the inn 2C, and the manager X3 of the pension 2D and receives the reservation request signals C2 to C4 for the guest house 2A, and all the rooms virtually owned by the managers X1 to X3 who own the information processing terminals 4 to 6 through which the reservation request signals C2 to C4 passed are occupied. state. In other words, there is one of the managers X1 to X3 (referred to as contracted room owner H) whose reservations for the rooms he virtually owns are all booked.
また、本発明の実施形態１における部屋振分開始状態Ａのもう１つは、ビジネスホテル２Ｂの経営者Ｘ１、旅館２Ｃの経営者Ｘ２及びペンション２Ｄの経営者Ｘ３の各情報処理端末４～６を経由せずに直接的にインターネットを介してゲストハウス２Ａに対する予約依頼信号Ｃ１を受け取った状態である。 Another state of the room allocation start state A in the first embodiment of the present invention is the information processing terminals 4 to 6 of the manager X1 of the business hotel 2B, the manager X2 of the inn 2C, and the manager X3 of the pension 2D. This is a state in which the reservation request signal C1 for the guest house 2A is received directly via the Internet without going through.
予約振分処理部１ｄは、振分開始判定部１ｃが部屋振分開始状態Ａであると判定した際、まず、予約部屋数演算部１ｂで演算した予約数Ｚ１～Ｚ３のうち最低予約数である状態の経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３が１人であるか、２人であるかを判断するようになっている。予約数Ｚ１～Ｚ３のうち最低予約数である状態の経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３が１人である場合には、その経営者が仮想的に所有する部屋に予約があったものとして仮想的に所有する部屋の予約数が全て埋まった経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３のうちの１人が所有する予約の振分処理を行うようになっている。 When the reservation distribution processing section 1d determines that the distribution start state A is in the room distribution start state A, the reservation distribution processing section 1d first selects the lowest number of reservations among the number of reservations Z1 to Z3 calculated by the number of reserved rooms calculation section 1b. It is determined whether there are one or two managers X1 to X3 in a certain state. If there is one manager X1 to X3 who has the minimum number of reservations among the number of reservations Z1 to Z3, the room virtually owned by that manager is assumed to have a reservation and is virtually owned. The reservations owned by one of the managers X1 to X3 whose room reservations have all been filled are sorted out.
尚、上述の場合においては、予約依頼信号Ｃ２～Ｃ４が経由した情報処理端末４～６を所有する経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３には、予約が振り分けられた経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３から予め契約により決められた手数料を受け取るようにすることで、各経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３が享受する利益のバランスが取られるようになっている。 In the above case, the managers X1 to X3 who own the information processing terminals 4 to 6 through which the reservation request signals C2 to C4 have passed are given information determined by the contract in advance from the managers X1 to X3 to whom the reservations have been allocated. By having each manager receive a commission, the profits enjoyed by each of the managers X1 to X3 are balanced.
一方、予約数Ｚ１、Ｚ２、Ｚ３のうち最低予約数である状態の経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３が２人の場合には、予め決められた優先順位にて選ばれた経営者が仮想的に所有する部屋に予約があったものとして仮想的に所有する部屋の予約数が全て埋まった経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３のうちの１人が所有する予約の振分処理を行うようになっている。例えば、ゲストハウス２Ａの本所有者と契約を早く結んだ経営者順や、以前異なる期間において、予約を振り分けてくれた経営者に優先的に振り分けるというように優先順位を予め設定しておく。 On the other hand, if there are two managers X1 to X3 who have the lowest number of reservations among the number of reservations Z1, Z2, and Z3, the property is virtually owned by a manager selected in a predetermined priority order. Assuming that the rooms are reserved, the reservations owned by one of the managers X1 to X3 whose reservations for the virtually owned rooms are all filled are processed. For example, the order of priority is set in advance, such as the order in which the manager who concluded a contract with the owner of the guest house 2A first, or the manager who previously distributed reservations in different periods are given priority.
一方、予約振分処理部１ｄは、振分開始判定部１ｃが部屋振分開始状態Ａでないと判定した際、予約の振分処理を行わないよう構成されている。すなわち、ビジネスホテル２Ｂの経営者Ｘ１、旅館２Ｃの経営者Ｘ２及びペンション２Ｄの経営者Ｘ３の各情報処理端末４～６を経由してゲストハウス２Ａに対する予約依頼信号Ｃ２～Ｃ４を受け取ったが、経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３の仮想的に所有する部屋がいまだに全て埋まってない場合には、それぞれの経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３が仮想的に所有する部屋に予約が入ったものとするようになっている。 On the other hand, the reservation distribution processing section 1d is configured not to perform the reservation distribution process when the distribution start determination section 1c determines that the room distribution start state A is not established. That is, although the reservation request signals C2 to C4 for the guest house 2A were received via the information processing terminals 4 to 6 of the manager X1 of the business hotel 2B, the manager X2 of the inn 2C, and the manager X3 of the pension 2D, the manager If all the rooms virtually owned by the managers X1 to X3 are not yet occupied, it is assumed that the rooms virtually owned by the respective managers X1 to X3 have been reserved.
予約振分通知部１ｅは、予約振分処理部１ｄが予約振分処理を行った際、経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３のうちの予約が振り分けられた側の経営者と振り分ける側の経営者との両方の情報処理端末に予約振分処理が行われた通知を行うようになっている。 When the reservation distribution processing unit 1d performs the reservation distribution processing, the reservation distribution notification unit 1e informs both the business owner to whom the reservation is distributed and the business owner to whom the reservation is distributed among the business owners X1 to X3. The information processing terminal will be notified that the reservation distribution process has been performed.
次に、宿泊管理システム１の動作について詳述する。 Next, the operation of the accommodation management system 1 will be described in detail.
図３に示すように、まず、ステップＳ１において、ゲストハウス２Ａにおける情報処理端末３が予約依頼信号を受け取るとステップＳ２に進み、情報処理端末３がインターネットを介して直接的に予約依頼信号を受け取ったか否かを判定する。 As shown in FIG. 3, first, in step S1, when the information processing terminal 3 in the guest house 2A receives a reservation request signal, the process proceeds to step S2. Determine whether or not.
このステップＳ２の判定がＹＥＳのとき、すなわち、情報処理端末３がビジネスホテル２Ｂ、旅館２Ｃ及びペンション２Ｄの各情報処理端末４～６を経由せずに直接的にインターネットを介してゲストハウス２Ａに対する予約依頼信号Ｃ１を受け取ったときには、ステップＳ３に進んで予約部屋数演算部１ｂで演算した予約数Ｚ１、Ｚ２、Ｚ３のうち最低予約数である状態の経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３が１人であるか、又は、２人以上であるかを判定する。 When the determination in step S2 is YES, that is, the information processing terminal 3 makes a reservation for the guest house 2A directly via the Internet without going through the information processing terminals 4 to 6 of the business hotel 2B, inn 2C, and pension 2D. When the request signal C1 is received, the process proceeds to step S3, and it is checked whether there is one manager X1 to X3 with the lowest number of reservations among the number of reservations Z1, Z2, and Z3 calculated by the number of reserved rooms calculation unit 1b. Alternatively, it is determined whether there are two or more people.
一方、ステップＳ２の判定がＮＯのとき、すなわち、情報処理端末３がビジネスホテル２Ｂ、旅館２Ｃ及びペンション２Ｄの各情報処理端末４～６を経由してゲストハウス２Ａに対する予約依頼信号Ｃ２～Ｃ４を受け取ったときには、ステップＳ４に進む。 On the other hand, when the determination in step S2 is NO, that is, the information processing terminal 3 receives reservation request signals C2 to C4 for the guest house 2A via the information processing terminals 4 to 6 of the business hotel 2B, inn 2C, and pension 2D. If so, the process advances to step S4.
上記ステップＳ３の判定がＹＥＳのとき、すなわち、予約数Ｚ１、Ｚ２、Ｚ３のうち最低予約数である状態の経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３が１人である場合には、ステップＳ５に進んで最低予約数である状態の経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３が所有する仮想的な部屋に予約があったものとして予約が振り分けられて処理が終了する。 When the determination in step S3 is YES, that is, when there is one manager X1 to X3 who has the minimum number of reservations among the number of reservations Z1, Z2, and Z3, the process proceeds to step S5 and the minimum number of reservations is determined. It is assumed that reservations have been made for virtual rooms owned by managers X1 to X3 in a certain state, and the reservations are distributed and the process ends.
一方、ステップＳ３の判定がＮＯのとき、すなわち、予約数Ｚ１、Ｚ２、Ｚ３のうち最低予約数である状態の経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３が２人以上である場合には、ステップＳ６に進む。 On the other hand, if the determination in step S3 is NO, that is, if two or more managers X1 to X3 have the lowest number of reservations among the number of reservations Z1, Z2, and Z3, the process advances to step S6.
このステップＳ６では、経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３の中において予め決められた優先順位にて選ばれた経営者が仮想的に所有する部屋に予約があったものとして予約が振り分けられて処理が終了する。 In this step S6, the reservation is distributed to a room virtually owned by a manager selected from among the managers X1 to X3 in a predetermined priority order, and the reservation is distributed, and the process ends.
上記ステップＳ４では、予約依頼信号Ｃ２～Ｃ４が経由した情報処理端末４～６を所有する経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３の仮想的に所有する部屋の全てがそれぞれ埋まっているか否かを判定する。 In step S4, it is determined whether all the rooms virtually owned by the managers X1 to X3 who own the information processing terminals 4 to 6 through which the reservation request signals C2 to C4 have passed are occupied.
このステップＳ４の判定がＹＥＳのときには、ステップＳ３に進む。 When the determination in step S4 is YES, the process advances to step S3.
一方、このステップＳ４の判定がＮＯのときには、ステップＳ７に進んで予約の振分処理を行わず、予約依頼信号Ｃ２～Ｃ４が経由した情報処理端末４～６を所有する経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３の仮想的な部屋に予約があったものとして処理が終了する。 On the other hand, if the determination in step S4 is NO, the process proceeds to step S7 and the reservation distribution process is not performed, and the management personnel X1 to X3 who own the information processing terminals 4 to 6 through which the reservation request signals C2 to C4 have passed The process ends assuming that the virtual room has been reserved.
以上より、本発明の実施形態１によると、ゲストハウス２Ａの本所有者は、自ら行う集客努力だけでなく、ビジネスホテル２Ｂ、旅館２Ｃ及びペンション２Ｄの各経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３による集客努力により、集客力を上げることができるので、ゲストハウス２Ａの稼働率を上げることができるとともに、ゲストハウス２Ａが所在する地域の発展に寄与することができる。 As described above, according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, the owner of the guest house 2A not only makes efforts to attract customers himself, but also through the efforts of the managers X1 to X3 of the business hotel 2B, inn 2C, and pension 2D to attract customers. Since the power can be increased, the occupancy rate of the guest house 2A can be increased, and it is also possible to contribute to the development of the area where the guest house 2A is located.
また、ビジネスホテル２Ｂ、旅館２Ｃ及びペンション２Ｄの各経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３は、そのゲストハウス２Ａが所在する地域から離れていてもその地域をアピールし、且つ、自分が所有する情報処理端末４～６において、例えば、自社のホームページ等を利用して予約を受け取ることでゲストハウス２Ａにおける仮想的に所有する部屋の稼働率を上げることができる。例えば、都心にあるビジネスホテル２Ｂの経営者Ｘ１は、自社のホームページ内にゲストハウス２Ａの紹介ページ及び予約ページを設けることで、宿泊客ユーザは、ゲストハウス２Ａを、ビジネスホテル２Ｂのホームページを介して、ビジネスホテル２Ｂの予約とともにワンストップで予約することができる一方、ビジネスホテル２Ｂにとっても、ゲストハウス２Ａのような、離れた地域に所在する良質な宿泊先のラインナップを提供することができ、顧客ロイヤリティや自社のブランディングの向上を図ることができる。このように、ゲストハウス２Ａが所在する地域の発展に寄与できるとともに、ビジネスホテル２Ｂ、旅館２Ｃ及びペンション２Ｄの各経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３の自らの努力により利益を得ることができる。もし仮に、仮想的に所有する部屋の稼働率が悪い場合であっても、予約の多い経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３のうちの一人か、或いは、ゲストハウス２Ａの所有者から予約が振り分けられるので、仮想的に所有する部屋の稼働率が極端に悪くなるといったことを避けることができる。例えば、ビジネスホテル２Ｂ、旅館２Ｃ及びペンション２Ｄの各経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３の１人が仮想的に所有する部屋の全ての予約枠を埋めてしまうとともにさらに予約を受け取った場合において、他の経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３の仮想的に所有する部屋に予約を振り分ける代わりにその部屋の売り上げの一部を受け取る契約を施しておけば、ゲストハウス２Ａ全体の稼働率を上げながら、各経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３における利益を追求することができるようになる。 In addition, each of the managers X1 to X3 of the business hotel 2B, inn 2C, and pension 2D promotes the area even if it is far from the area where the guest house 2A is located, and also uses the information processing terminals 4 to 6 that they own. For example, by receiving reservations using the company's homepage or the like, it is possible to increase the occupancy rate of the virtually owned rooms in the guest house 2A. For example, the manager X1 of a business hotel 2B located in the city center can set up an introduction page and a reservation page for the guest house 2A on his company's homepage, so that guest users can access the guest house 2A through the homepage of the business hotel 2B. While it is possible to make one-stop reservations along with business hotel 2B reservations, business hotel 2B can also provide a lineup of high-quality accommodations located in remote areas, such as guest house 2A, and increase customer loyalty. You can improve your company's branding. In this way, the guest house 2A can contribute to the development of the area where it is located, and the managers X1 to X3 of the business hotel 2B, inn 2C, and pension 2D can profit from their own efforts. Even if the occupancy rate of a virtually owned room is low, the reservation will be allocated to one of the managers X1 to X3 who have a large number of reservations or the owner of Guest House 2A, so the virtual It is possible to avoid situations where the occupancy rate of rooms owned by the company becomes extremely poor. For example, if one of the managers X1 to X3 of Business Hotel 2B, Inn 2C, and Pension 2D fills up all the reservation slots for rooms that they virtually own and receives further reservations, the other managers If a contract is established in which reservations are distributed to rooms virtually owned by X1 to X3 and a portion of the sales of those rooms is received, the occupancy rate of Guest House 2A as a whole can be increased, while the profits for each manager of X1 to X3 can be increased. will be able to pursue.
一方、直接的にゲストハウス２Ａに対してなされた予約を各経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３が仮想的に所有する部屋に予約があったものとして順に振り分けるようにすることで、各経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３におけるゲストハウス２Ａに対する投資のリスクを最小限に抑えることができる。 On the other hand, by distributing reservations made directly to guest house 2A to rooms virtually owned by each manager X1 to X3 in order, The risk of investing in 2A can be minimized.
このように、ゲストハウス２Ａの部屋を仮想的に所有する全ての経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３にとって多くの利益が得られるようになり、投資に対するリスクを最小限に抑えることができる。 In this way, all the managers X1 to X3 who virtually own the rooms of the guest house 2A can gain a lot of profits, and the risks to their investments can be minimized.
また、経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３は、予約振分通知部１ｅによる通知を見ながらリアルタイムに部屋の価格を変動させる等の経営方針の変更が行えるようになるので、経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３による利益を追求するための取り組みがさらに行い易くなる。 In addition, managers X1 to X3 will be able to change management policies such as changing room prices in real time while viewing notifications from the reservation allocation notification unit 1e, so managers X1 to X3 can pursue profits. Efforts to achieve this goal will become easier.
尚、本発明の実施形態１では、予約振分処理部１ｄが予約振分処理を行った際、予約振分通知部１ｅは経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３のうちの予約が振り分けられた側の経営者と振り分ける側の経営者との両方の情報処理端末に予約振分処理が行われた通知を行うようになっているが、両方の情報処理端末に通知を行うことは必須ではなく、少なくとも一方の情報処理端末に通知を行うようなシステムであってもよい。 In Embodiment 1 of the present invention, when the reservation distribution processing section 1d performs reservation distribution processing, the reservation distribution notification section 1e sends a message to one of the managers X1 to X3 to whom the reservation has been distributed. Notification that the reservation distribution process has been carried out is sent to the information processing terminals of both the operator and the manager on the distribution side, but it is not necessary to notify both information processing terminals; A system that notifies an information processing terminal may also be used.
また、本発明の実施形態１では、ゲストハウス２Ａ、ビジネスホテル２Ｂ、旅館２Ｃ及びペンション２Ｄの各所有者または経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３が所有する情報処理端末が、インターネットを介して予約依頼信号を受け取ることで予約を受け付ける旨記載しているが、予約代行または仲介業者や複数の宿泊施設が利用することを想定した宿泊予約プラットフォームのように、第三者の情報処理端末がゲストハウス２Ａ、ビジネスホテル２Ｂ、旅館２Ｃ及びペンション２Ｄの所有者または経営者のために予約依頼信号を受け取ることとしてもよい。この場合、ゲストハウス２Ａ、ビジネスホテル２Ｂ、旅館２Ｃ及びペンション２Ｄの各所有者または経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３は、所有する情報処理端末から第三者の情報処理端末に予約状況を確認したり、第三者の情報処理端末から予約に関連する通知を受け取ったりすることができる。 Further, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the information processing terminals owned by the owners or managers X1 to X3 of the guest house 2A, business hotel 2B, inn 2C, and pension 2D receive a reservation request signal via the Internet. Although it is stated that reservations are accepted at Guest House 2A, Business Hotel 2B, and other accommodation reservation platforms that are intended to be used by reservation agents, intermediaries, and multiple accommodation facilities, third-party information processing terminals are The reservation request signal may be received for the owners or managers of the inn 2C and pension 2D. In this case, each of the owners or managers X1 to X3 of the guest house 2A, business hotel 2B, inn 2C, and pension 2D can check the reservation status from their own information processing terminal to the third party's information processing terminal, or Notifications related to reservations can be received from the information processing terminal of the user.
《発明の実施形態２》
図４は、本発明の実施形態２に係る宿泊管理システム１のブロック図及び動作を示すフローチャート図である。この実施形態２では、予約の処理の仕方が実施形態１と異なるだけでその他は実施形態１と同じであるため、以下、実施形態１と異なる部分のみを説明する。
《Embodiment 2 of the invention》
FIG. 4 is a block diagram and a flowchart showing the operation of the accommodation management system 1 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Embodiment 2 differs from Embodiment 1 except for the reservation processing method, and is otherwise the same as Embodiment 1. Therefore, only the differences from Embodiment 1 will be described below.
実施形態２の提供部屋数記憶部１ａは、ゲストハウス２Ａの事前予約において日数Ｐの期間に提供可能な部屋数をＮとした際、ビジネスホテル２Ｂの経営者Ｘ１、旅館２Ｃの経営者Ｘ２及びペンション２Ｄの経営者Ｘ３に対してゲストハウス２Ａの所有者が契約によってそれぞれ仮想的に提供する提供部屋数Ｙ１、Ｙ２、Ｙ３（Ｎ≧Ｙ１＋Ｙ２＋Ｙ３）を記憶するようになっている。 The storage unit 1a for the number of rooms to be provided in the second embodiment stores, when the number of rooms that can be provided in a period of days P in the advance reservation of the guest house 2A is N, the manager X1 of the business hotel 2B, the manager X2 of the inn 2C, and the pension The number of rooms Y1, Y2, and Y3 (N≧Y1+Y2+Y3) that the owner of the guest house 2A virtually provides to the manager X3 of the guest house 2A according to a contract is stored.
また、実施形態２の提供部屋数記憶部１ａは、各提供部屋数Ｙ１、Ｙ２、Ｙ３の一部の部屋を繁忙日用部屋Ｒに設定可能に構成されている。例えば、Ｙ１＝１０部屋とした際に、その１０部屋のうちの２部屋を繁忙日用部屋Ｒと設定できるようになっている。 Further, the provided room number storage unit 1a of the second embodiment is configured to be able to set some of the provided rooms Y1, Y2, and Y3 as rooms R for busy days. For example, when Y1=10 rooms, two of the ten rooms can be set as rooms R for busy days.
実施形態２の振分開始判定部１ｃは、ゲストハウス２Ａに対して予約依頼信号Ｃ１～Ｃ４を受け取る毎に判定処理を行うのではなく、日数Ｐの期間を経過した際に部屋振分開始状態Ａであるか否かを判定するようになっている。 The allocation start determination unit 1c of the second embodiment does not perform the determination process every time it receives reservation request signals C1 to C4 for the guest house 2A, but determines the room allocation start state A when a period of days P has elapsed. It is designed to determine whether or not.
尚、本発明の実施形態２における部屋振分開始状態Ａは、経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３のうちの１人の仮想的に所有する部屋の予約数が予め決められた設定値Ｇ以上になっている状態であり、設定値Ｇには、経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３が所望する稼働率がそれぞれ設定されている。 Note that in the room allocation start state A in the second embodiment of the present invention, the number of reserved rooms virtually owned by one of the managers X1 to X3 is equal to or greater than a predetermined setting value G. The operating rate desired by the managers X1 to X3 is set to the set value G, respectively.
また、実施形態２の振分開始判定部１ｃは、部屋振分開始状態Ａであるか否かを判定した後、さらに仮想的に所有する部屋の繁忙日用部屋Ｒの予約数が予め決められた設定値Ｇ’以上になった経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３（以下、契約部屋所有者Ｈ’と呼ぶ）が存在する部屋振分開始状態Ｂであるか否かを判定するようになっている。 Further, after determining whether or not the room allocation start state A is reached, the allocation start determination unit 1c of the second embodiment further determines in advance the number of reservations for the busy day rooms R of the virtually owned rooms. It is determined whether or not the room allocation start state B exists where there are managers X1 to X3 (hereinafter referred to as contracted room owners H') who have exceeded the set value G'.
実施形態２の予約振分処理部１ｄは、ゲストハウス２Ａに対して直接的に予約依頼信号Ｃ１を受けた際、Ｎ－（Ｙ１＋・・・＋Ｙｎ）＞０の状態であると、予約の振分処理を行わないよう構成されている。つまり、提供可能な部屋数Ｎの全てを経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３に提供していない場合、ゲストハウス２Ａに対して直接的に予約依頼信号Ｃ１を受け取っても、予約を振り分けないようになっている。そうすることにより、ゲストハウス２Ａの本所有者自身の利益が少なくなり過ぎるのを防ぐことができ、経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３だけでなく、ゲストハウス２Ａの所有者の利益の追求も行うことができるようになっている。 When the reservation distribution processing unit 1d of the second embodiment receives the reservation request signal C1 directly from the guest house 2A, if N-(Y1+...+Yn)>0, the reservation distribution processing unit 1d distributes the reservation. It is configured so that no processing is performed. In other words, if all of the available rooms N have not been provided to the managers X1 to X3, the reservations will not be distributed even if the guest house 2A receives the reservation request signal C1 directly. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the profits of the owner of Guest House 2A from becoming too small, and it is possible to pursue the profits of not only the managers X1 to X3 but also the owners of Guest House 2A. It has become.
また、実施形態２の予約振分処理部１ｄは、振分開始判定部１ｃが部屋振分開始状態Ｂであると判定した際、予約部屋数演算部１ｂで演算した予約数Ｚ１～Ｚ３のうち繁忙日用部屋Ｒが最低予約数である状態の経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３が１人であるか、２人以上であるかを判断するようになっている。予約数Ｚ１～Ｚ３のうち繁忙日用部屋Ｒが最低予約数である状態の経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３が１人である場合には、その経営者が仮想的に所有する繁忙日用部屋Ｒに予約があったものとして契約部屋所有者Ｈ’が所有する繁忙日用部屋Ｒの予約の振分処理を行うようになっている。 Further, when the reservation distribution processing section 1d of the second embodiment determines that the distribution start determination section 1c is in the room distribution start state B, the reservation distribution processing section 1d of the second embodiment calculates the number of reservations Z1 to Z3 calculated by the reservation room number calculation section 1b. It is determined whether there is one manager X1 to X3 or two or more managers in a state where the busy day room R has the minimum number of reservations. If there is only one manager X1 to X3 whose busy daily use room R has the minimum number of reservations among the number of reservations Z1 to Z3, a reservation is made to the busy daily use room R that that manager virtually owns. Assuming that there is a contract room owner H', reservations for the busy day room R are distributed.
一方、予約数Ｚ１～Ｚ３のうち繁忙日用部屋Ｒが最低予約数である状態の経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３が２人の場合には、予め決められた優先順位にて選ばれた経営者が仮想的に所有する繁忙日用部屋Ｒに予約があったものとして契約部屋所有者Ｈ’が所有する繁忙日用部屋Ｒの予約の振分処理を行うようになっている。 On the other hand, if there are two managers X1 to X3 whose number of reservations Z1 to Z3 is the minimum number of reservations for the busy daily room R, the managers selected in a predetermined priority order will be virtual managers. Assuming that there is a reservation for the busy day room R owned by the contracted room owner H', the reservations for the busy day room R owned by the contracted room owner H' are distributed.
さらに、実施形態２の予約振分処理部１ｄは、振分開始判定部１ｃが部屋振分開始状態Ｂでないと判定した際、繁忙日用部屋Ｒの予約の振分処理を行わないよう構成されている。 Furthermore, the reservation distribution processing unit 1d of the second embodiment is configured not to perform the distribution process of the reservation for the busy day room R when the distribution start determination unit 1c determines that the room distribution start state B is not established. ing.
次に、実施形態２における宿泊管理システム１の動作について詳述する。 Next, the operation of the accommodation management system 1 in the second embodiment will be described in detail.
図４に示すように、まず、ステップＳ１において、宿泊管理システム１が稼働し始めてから日数Ｐが経過すると、ステップＳ２に進み、情報処理端末３がインターネットを介して直接的に予約依頼信号を受け取ったか否かを判定する。 As shown in FIG. 4, first, in step S1, when the number of days P has passed since the accommodation management system 1 started operating, the process proceeds to step S2, where the information processing terminal 3 directly receives a reservation request signal via the Internet. Determine whether or not.
上記ステップＳ２の判定がＮＯのとき、すなわち、情報処理端末３がビジネスホテル２Ｂ、旅館２Ｃ及びペンション２Ｄの各情報処理端末４～６を経由せずに直接的にインターネットを介してゲストハウス２Ａに対する予約依頼信号Ｃ１を受け取っていない場合にはステップＳ４に進み、予約部屋数演算部１ｂで演算した予約数Ｚ１、Ｚ２、Ｚ３が予め決められた設定値Ｇ以上になった経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３が居るか否かを判定する。 When the determination in step S2 is NO, that is, the information processing terminal 3 makes a reservation for the guest house 2A directly via the Internet without going through the information processing terminals 4 to 6 of the business hotel 2B, inn 2C, and pension 2D. If the request signal C1 has not been received, the process advances to step S4, and there are managers X1 to X3 for whom the number of reservations Z1, Z2, Z3 calculated by the number of reserved rooms calculation unit 1b is equal to or greater than a predetermined set value G. Determine whether or not.
ステップＳ４の判定がＹＥＳのとき、ステップＳ５に進み、予約部屋数演算部１ｂで演算した予約数Ｚ１、Ｚ２、Ｚ３のうち繁忙日用部屋Ｒの予約数が予め決められた設定値Ｇ’以上になった経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３が居るか否かを判定する。 When the determination in step S4 is YES, the process proceeds to step S5, where the number of reservations for the busy day room R among the reservation numbers Z1, Z2, and Z3 calculated by the reservation room number calculation unit 1b is greater than or equal to the predetermined setting value G'. It is determined whether or not there are managers X1 to X3 who have become
ステップＳ５の判定がＹＥＳのとき、ステップＳ８に進み、予約部屋数演算部１ｂで演算した予約数Ｚ１、Ｚ２、Ｚ３のうち繁忙日用部屋Ｒの最低予約数である状態の経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３が１人であるか、又は、２人以上であるかを判定する。 When the determination in step S5 is YES, the process proceeds to step S8, where managers X1 to X3 are in a state where the lowest number of reservations for busy day rooms R is among the number of reservations Z1, Z2, and Z3 calculated by the number of reserved rooms calculation unit 1b. It is determined whether there is one person or two or more people.

If there are no new managers X1 to X3, the processing of the lodging management system 1 ends.
上記ステップＳ２において判定がＮＯである場合、すなわち、日数Ｐの期間において情報処理端末３がビジネスホテル２Ｂ、旅館２Ｃ及びペンション２Ｄの各情報処理端末４～６を経由せずに直接的にインターネットを介してゲストハウス２Ａに対する予約依頼信号Ｃ１を受け取っている場合には、ステップＳ３に進んでＮ－（Ｙ１＋・・・＋Ｙｎ）＞０、つまり、ゲストハウス２Ａの所有者が日数Ｐの期間に提供可能な部屋数Ｎの全てを経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３に提供しているか否かを判定する。 If the determination in step S2 is NO, that is, during the period of days P, the information processing terminal 3 directly accesses the Internet without going through the information processing terminals 4 to 6 of the business hotel 2B, inn 2C, and pension 2D. If the reservation request signal C1 for guest house 2A is received through It is determined whether all of the number N of rooms are provided to managers X1 to X3.
このステップＳ３の判定がＹＥＳのとき、すなわち、数Ｐの期間に提供可能な部屋数Ｎの全てを経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３に提供していない場合には、ステップＳ１１に進み、予約を振り分ける処理を行わずに宿泊管理システム１の処理を終了する。 When the determination in step S3 is YES, that is, when the managers X1 to X3 have not been provided with all of the number of rooms N that can be provided during the period of number P, the process proceeds to step S11, and the process of distributing reservations is performed. The processing of the accommodation management system 1 is ended without performing the above steps.
一方、ステップＳ３の判定がＮＯのとき、すなわち、日数Ｐの期間に提供可能な部屋数Ｎの全てを経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３に提供している場合には、ステップＳ７に進み、受け取った予約依頼信号Ｃ１が繁忙日の予約か否かを判定する。 On the other hand, when the determination in step S3 is NO, that is, when all of the number N of rooms that can be provided during the period of days P have been provided to the managers X1 to X3, the process proceeds to step S7, and the received reservation request is It is determined whether the signal C1 indicates a reservation for a busy day.
このステップＳ７の判定がＹＥＳのとき、すなわち、受け取った予約依頼信号Ｃ１が繁忙日の予約の場合には、ステップＳ８に進み、経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３に繁忙日用部屋Ｒの予約を振り分けるようにする。 When the determination in step S7 is YES, that is, when the received reservation request signal C1 is a reservation for a busy day, the process proceeds to step S8, and the reservation for the room R for busy days is distributed to the managers X1 to X3. do.
一方、ステップＳ７の判定がＮＯのとき、すなわち、受け取った予約依頼信号Ｃ１が繁忙日の予約でない場合には、ステップＳ１０に進み、経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３に繁忙日用部屋Ｒ以外の予約を振り分けるようにする。 On the other hand, when the determination in step S7 is NO, that is, when the received reservation request signal C1 is not a reservation for a busy day, the process proceeds to step S10, and reservations other than the busy day room R are distributed to managers X1 to X3. do it like this.
以上より、本発明の実施形態２によると、振分開始判定部１ｃが日数Ｐの期間を経過したときに初めて部屋振分開始状態Ａであるか否かを判定するようになっているので、予約が入る毎にその予約を振り分けるシステムに比べて、システムの処理が簡単になるので、当該システムに掛かる負荷を小さくすることができる。 As described above, according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the distribution start determination unit 1c determines whether or not the room distribution start state A is reached for the first time after the period of days P has elapsed. Compared to a system that allocates reservations each time a reservation is received, system processing is simpler, and the load placed on the system can be reduced.
また、提供可能な部屋数Ｎの全てを経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３に提供していない場合、予約を振り分けないので、ゲストハウス２Ａの所有者自身の利益が少なくなり過ぎるのを防ぐことができ、経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３だけでなく本所有者の利益の追求も行うことができる。 In addition, if all of the available rooms N are not provided to managers X1 to It is possible to pursue not only the interests of X1 to X3 but also the interests of the book owner.
また、予約を振り分けるか否かを決める設定値Ｇを利益が出るとされる稼働率に設定しているので、予約を振り分ける側の経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３にも利益が得られるようになる一方、振り分けられる側の経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３も予約数が増えるので利益が上がるようになる。したがって、振り分けた側及び振り分けられた側の両方共に利益を追求できる。 In addition, since the setting value G that determines whether or not to distribute reservations is set to the operating rate that is considered to be profitable, the managers X1 to X3 who distribute reservations will also be able to earn profits. Managers X1 to X3, who are on the receiving end of the allocation, will also see an increase in profits as the number of reservations increases. Therefore, both the allotted party and the allotted party can pursue profits.
さらに、各宿泊施設で受け取った予約依頼信号Ｃ１～Ｃ４が利益の出やすい繁忙日に係るものであった場合には、当該各予約を経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３に偏り無く振り分けるようになるので、経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３間の不公平感を極力少なくしながら全ての経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３の利益を追求することができる。 Furthermore, if the reservation request signals C1 to C4 received at each accommodation facility are for busy days when profits are likely to be made, the reservations will be distributed evenly to managers X1 to X3. It is possible to pursue the interests of all managers X1 to X3 while minimizing the sense of unfairness among managers X1 to X3.
尚、本発明の実施形態１，２では、ゲストハウス２Ａの情報処理端末３に宿泊管理システム１を組み込んでいるが、例えば、ビジネスホテル２Ｂの情報処理端末４に宿泊管理システム１を組み込んでも良い。そして、ビジネスホテル２Ｂの本所有者が、ゲストハウス２Ａ、旅館２Ｃ及びペンション２Ｄの経営者とそれぞれ契約を結んでビジネスホテル２Ｂの部屋の予約枠を各経営者に提供することにより、ビジネスホテル２Ｂが所在する地域の活性化をも達成することができる。 In the first and second embodiments of the present invention, the accommodation management system 1 is installed in the information processing terminal 3 of the guest house 2A, but the accommodation management system 1 may be installed in the information processing terminal 4 of the business hotel 2B, for example. Then, the owner of business hotel 2B concludes a contract with the managers of guest house 2A, inn 2C, and pension 2D, and provides each manager with a reservation slot for a room in business hotel 2B. It is also possible to revitalize the area where it is located.
また、本発明の実施形態１，２では、ゲストハウス２Ａの本所有者がビジネスホテル２Ｂ、旅館２Ｃ及びペンション２Ｄという３つの宿泊施設２の経営者Ｘ１～Ｘ３に仮想的に部屋を提供しているが、それ以上の数の経営者に部屋を仮想的に提供してもよい。 Further, in the first and second embodiments of the present invention, the owner of the guest house 2A virtually provides rooms to the managers X1 to X3 of three accommodation facilities 2: a business hotel 2B, an inn 2C, and a pension 2D. However, rooms may be provided virtually to a larger number of business owners.
また、本発明の実施形態１，２では、ゲストハウス２Ａの本所有者が他の宿泊施設２の経営者に部屋を仮想的に提供しているが、部屋を仮想的に提供する相手は宿泊施設２の経営者でなくてもよい。例えば、タレント、俳優、歌手等の有名人や有名企業のように、潜在的な宿泊者ユーザを、自身のホームページ等を介して集客することができる人物や組織としてもよい。 Furthermore, in Embodiments 1 and 2 of the present invention, the owner of the guesthouse 2A virtually provides a room to the manager of another accommodation facility 2, but the person to whom the room is virtually provided is the accommodation facility. It doesn't have to be the manager of item 2. For example, it may be a person or organization that can attract potential guest users through its own homepage, such as a celebrity such as a celebrity, actor, or singer, or a famous company.
本発明は、インターネットを介して受け取る予約依頼信号に基づいて宿泊施設における各部屋の事前予約状態を管理する宿泊管理システムに適している。 INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION This invention is suitable for the accommodation management system which manages the advance reservation status of each room in an accommodation facility based on the reservation request signal received via the Internet.
