Description

  The present invention relates to a travel reservation system for traveling with pets and a program thereof, and more specifically, pet companion that can efficiently arrange travel accompanied by pets when traveling to urban areas and the vicinity thereof. The present invention relates to a travel reservation system and program for travel.

  Conventionally, when taking a family trip or an individual trip, it has been almost the case that a pet is taken to a veterinarian or an acquaintance near the home before going on a trip. However, in recent years, it has become difficult to easily leave a friend with a neighbor because of the estrangement of neighbors. On the other hand, under the influence of the pet boom, there are an increasing number of households and individuals who want to enjoy with their pets even in the case of family trips and individual trips, and that they cannot leave alone with their pets. Therefore, especially in outdoor-oriented trips, there are an increasing number of pet-accompanied trips where a pet is put in a car and goes out with a family.

  In order to meet the needs of travelers traveling with pets, pets are allowed to stay in guest rooms at pension hotels and resort hotels such as the sea and mountains, and pets are allowed to enter the lobby. Yes.

  However, when looking at the city and its nearby leisure destinations, it can be said that there are few accommodation facilities that provide services such as letting pets stay in guest rooms or bringing them into the lobby. For this reason, when traveling with a pet to an urban or nearby resort area, the pet will be deposited at a pet shop or pet hospital near the accommodation.

  In this case, when the traveler himself / herself searches for a pet shop or pet hospital near the accommodation facility, it is necessary to make a telephone call or exchange a letter, which takes time and effort. Considering the use of the Internet, it takes time and effort to search the Internet when the URL is unknown. Further, even if a corner reservation can be made, it is necessary to pay the cost separately from the accommodation facility for humans (for example, a hotel), which is troublesome twice.

  On the other hand, as a system for temporarily depositing pets, the pet deposit mediating method disclosed in Patent Document 1 is well known. In this pet custody brokerage method, if a user connects to a pet custody broker server via the Internet and registers as a member, pet custody and custody between members can be done free of charge except for the system usage fee. That's it.

However, the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a problem that it is not efficient because the pet deposit requester and the pet deposit acceptor need to adjust the schedule. Moreover, since the pet custody is an individual who is also a member, it may suddenly become inconvenient.
JP2002-251537

  As is clear from the above, in most areas where there are no accommodations with pets, such as in urban areas and the suburbs, pet storage reservations are also provided near human accommodations when making travel reservations. It would be convenient if there was a facility that could do it. And if the cost can be paid in one place, the convenience is further enhanced.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is intended to solve such a conventional problem, and provides a travel reservation system for traveling with a pet and a program thereof that can simultaneously make a reservation for a human stay and a pet storage reservation. is there.

In order to solve the above-described problem, a travel reservation system for traveling with a pet according to the present invention includes at least a first table that stores a distance between a hotel for a human and a location for a hotel for a pet. Storage means comprising a second table for storing the vacancy status of the human hotel and the vacancy status of the pet hotel, and between the predetermined hotels for the human hotel designated by the user A pet hotel located at a distance, or a human hotel located at a predetermined inter-hotel distance with respect to the pet hotel designated by the user, extracting means for extracting from the first table, and the user designated by the user The availability of the human hotel or the pet hotel and the availability of the pet hotel or the human hotel extracted by the extraction means Search means for searching by a two table, and summarized in that a search result by the searching means and a notifying means for notifying to the user.
Although the distance between hotels is memorize | stored in said 1st table, you may memorize | store the value relevant to distance, for example, required time (a car, a walk), as "distance between hotels."

  The said extraction means should just extract the said hotel for pets or the said hotel for humans in an order from the thing of the minimum value among the said distance between hotels. The extraction means may extract a distance within a certain range of the distance between hotels as the pet hotel or the human hotel.

  In order to solve the above problems, a travel reservation program for traveling with a pet according to the present invention includes at least a first table for storing a distance between a hotel for a human and a location for a hotel for a pet. Storage means comprising a second table for storing the availability of the human hotel and the availability of the pet hotel, a predetermined inter-hotel distance with respect to the human hotel designated by the user An extraction means for extracting, from the first table, a human hotel located at a predetermined distance from the pet hotel designated by the user or the pet hotel designated by the user; The availability of the hotel or the pet hotel and the availability of the pet hotel or the human hotel extracted by the extraction means Search means for searching by a two table, and summary of the case in which the search result by the searching means as a notification means for notifying to the user.

  The said extraction means should just extract the said hotel for pets or the said hotel for humans in an order from the thing of the minimum value among the said distance between hotels. Moreover, the said extraction means may extract the thing within a fixed range among the said distance between hotels as the said pet hotel or the said human hotel.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, in the travel reservation system for traveling with pets according to the present invention, the extraction means is at a predetermined inter-hotel distance from the first table to the human hotel designated by the user. A pet hotel (or a human hotel located at a predetermined inter-hotel distance with respect to the pet hotel designated by the user) is extracted, and the search means is the human hotel designated by the user (or the pet). The second table is used to search for the availability of the hotel) and the availability of the pet hotel (or the hotel for humans) extracted by the extraction means. It is possible to handle a pet hotel at the same time, and it is possible to make a reservation for human accommodation and a pet custody reservation at the same time.

  In the travel reservation program for traveling with a pet according to the present invention, when the computer functions as an extracting means, the computer sets the predetermined hotel distance from the first table to the human hotel specified by the user. When a certain pet hotel (or a human hotel at a predetermined distance between the pet hotels designated by the user) is extracted and the computer functions as a search means, the computer designates the user. Because the second table searches the availability of the human hotel (or the pet hotel) and the availability of the pet hotel (or the human hotel) extracted by the extraction means, The specified human hotel and the searched pet hotel can be handled at the same time. There is an effect that it is possible to carry out booking and pet deposit reservation and at the same time.

This image is distributed from the WEB server S. Is. When a user or an operator views this image, he / she feels as if the agency host 21 (or the operator) is directly processing or operating it.

Next, an outline of travel reservation arrangement using the travel reservation system 10 will be described with reference to FIG.
(1) Reservation Application FIG. 4 (1) conceptually shows this reservation application.
The user connects to the Internet from the user terminal 31, accesses the URL of the travel reservation program PG1, and presses the reservation inquiry button. In this specification, “pressing” may be any of single-clicking, double-clicking a mouse, and pressing a keyboard key linked to screen display. The user terminal 31 transmits a reservation inquiry instruction to the WEB server S based on an operation by the user (procedure 1: refer to S706 in FIG. 7).
The WEB server S distributes data constituting the reservation form based on the reservation inquiry instruction (procedure 2: refer to S802 in FIG. 8), and the reservation form is displayed on the user terminal 31 (FIG. 24). reference).
Based on the operation by the user, the user terminal 31 transmits the contents of the reservation form in which predetermined items are filled in to the WEB server S (procedure 3: refer to S803 in FIG. 8).

(2) Reservation Confirmation FIG. 4 (2) is a diagram conceptually showing this reservation confirmation.
In the reservation confirmation, the WEB server S performs a database search for empty rooms, distributes data indicating the result to the user terminal 31, and the user terminal 31 displays “There was an empty room” on the screen. (Procedure 4: Refer to S807 in FIG. 8).
Then, the reservation button is pressed by the user (procedure 5: S808 in FIG. 8).
Then, the WEB server S notifies the user terminal 31 that the reservation has been confirmed (“You have confirmed the reservation of ○○, please transfer the specified amount to the specified bank account within ○ days. The reservation is established after waiting for the confirmation. ”) Is automatically transmitted (procedure 6: see S810 in FIG. 8).
The reservation confirmation mail is also transmitted to the human hotel terminal 41 and the pet hotel terminal 51 by the WEB server S (procedure 6: refer to S811 in FIG. 8).

(3) Reservation established / reserved not confirmed When the operator of the travel agency confirms the payment to the bank account, the agency host 21 notifies the WEB server S that the payment has been made based on the operation of the operator. An electronic mail for payment communication is transmitted (procedure 7: see S901 in FIG. 9).
Based on the data, the WEB server S will open the next URL with the password for the reservation confirmation (“You have confirmed the payment of XXX, XXXXXXXXX, print the page and bring it on the day. Thank you very much. ”) Is automatically transmitted (procedure 8: see S902 in FIG. 9).

  Then, the user opens the designated URL from the user terminal 31 and inputs the password XXXXXXX (procedure 9: refer to S903 in FIG. 9).

Based on the input of the password by the user, the WEB server S (1) distributes to the user terminal 31 a page on which the password, accommodation, pet hotel contact information, map, and check-in / check-out method are written. (Procedure 10: See S904 in FIG. 9), (2) User terminal 31, human hotel terminal 41, and pet hotel terminal 51 with their password, accommodation, pet hotel contact information, map, check-in / check-out The data in which the above method is written is transmitted by e-mail together with the reservation establishment message (procedure 10: see S905 in FIG. 9).
The user may bring a copy of the page or the e-mail on that day.

  On the other hand, when the payment is not confirmed within a predetermined period, the WEB server S says to the user terminal 31 that “the reservation for XX is cancelled. An e-mail of the contents is transmitted (procedure 10: see S906 in FIG. 9), and a reservation failure message is transmitted to the human hotel terminal 41 and the pet hotel terminal 51 by e-mail (procedure 10: FIG. 9). (See S906).

Next, details of the processing of the travel reservation program PG1 will be described with reference to FIGS. The travel reservation program PG1 is executed by the CPU of the WEB server S, the execution result is distributed via the Internet, and the distributed data is displayed on the screen of the client C. The display on the screen of the client C is performed through a browser such as Internet Explorer.
Among these drawings, FIGS. 5 to 9 show flowcharts of the travel reservation program PG1, and FIG. 10 shows some of the parameters used in the travel reservation program PG1. FIG. 17 shows an example of the data tables DT1 to DT7.
The data table DT1 is created for each prefecture area and is stored in the RAM of the CPU of the WEB server S. Here, the data table DT1 for the Aichi prefecture area is shown as an example. The travel reservation process for traveling with a pet will be described in more detail below based on these flowcharts and data tables.

[Process of WEB server S based on operation of user terminal 31]
First, the operator of the travel agency uploads the travel reservation program PG1 and the data table DT1 from the agency host 21 to the WEB server S. The upload operation is performed using a known transfer program (so-called FTP software).

  Here, the data structure of the data table DT1 will be described. In the data table DT1 shown in FIG. 11, one row includes a serial number (No.), a region, position information, name information, type information, detailed information, March 2004 (free information),. “Position information” stores latitude and longitude or coordinates, which are used to indicate a position on the screen map and to calculate a distance between two points.

  The “name information” stores names of facilities and events. The “type information” stores information on human hotels, pet hotels, and events. The “detailed information” stores the address of the storage area in which it is stored, and by referring to it, for example, the location of the facility or event headquarters, telephone number, fax number, appeal matter, etc. are extracted. be able to.

  In “March 2004”, the address of the storage area where the data indicating the availability information of the month is stored is stored. By referring to the address, from the check-in date to the day before the check-out date, You can check the availability of a specified room type. Here, only “March 2004” is shown, but the data table DT1 shows only a part of it, and actually stores reference addresses up to about 12 months ahead. An example of the details of the monthly availability information is shown in the data table DT5 (see FIG. 15) for the human hotel and in the data table DT6 (see FIG. 16) for the pet hotel.

  Now, returning to the flowchart, the user starts browsing software such as Internet Explorer on the user terminal 31, and accesses the URL of the WEB server S to which the travel reservation program PG1 is uploaded through the Internet line. Then, the CPU of the WEB server S performs the process shown in step S501 to distribute the data constituting the top page shown in FIG. 18, and the top page shown in FIG. .

  The CPU of the WEB server S proceeds to step 502 and waits for the user terminal 31 to press the ENTER button B1. When the CPU of the WEB server S detects the pressing of the ENTER button B1, the process proceeds to step S503. In step S503, the CPU of the WEB server S distributes data constituting the menu screen shown in FIG. 19, and the menu screen shown in FIG.

  Next, the CPU of the WEB server S waits for pressing of each button shown in steps S504 to S508. Specifically, it waits for any of the inquiry reservation button B2, the Q & A button B3, the cancel button B4, the bulletin board button B5, and the return button B6 shown in FIG. When the CPU of the WEB server S detects that the Q & A button B3, the cancel button B4, or the bulletin board button B5 is pressed, the corresponding process is performed, but the description is omitted because it is not related to the present invention. The CPU of the WEB server S returns to the processing of S501 when detecting the pressing of the return button B6, and repeats steps S504 to S508 when detecting no pressing of any button.

  On the other hand, when the CPU of the WEB server S detects in step 504 that the inquiry reservation button B2 is pressed on the user terminal 31, the process proceeds to step S601 in FIG. 6 and data distribution constituting the prefecture area selection screen shown in FIG. Then, the prefecture area selection screen shown in FIG.

  Next, the CPU of the WEB server S proceeds to steps S602 to S604, and determines whether any prefecture button B7 on the screen or the return button B6 is pressed. That is, the CPU of the WEB server S waits for any button to be pressed in S602 to S604 (S602 to S604: “NO”), and when the pressing is detected (any of S602 to S604: “YES”). The processing corresponding to the button that has been performed is performed.

  When the CPU of the WEB server S detects that the return button B6 is pressed in S602, the CPU proceeds to step S503 in FIG. 5 to distribute the data constituting the menu screen shown in FIG. Displays the menu screen shown in the figure. In addition, when the pressing of the prefecture button B7 other than Aichi prefecture is detected, the CPU of the WEB server S performs the process shown in step S605. Note that the details of the process shown in step S605 are the same as when the Aichi Prefecture button B7 described below is pressed, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

  When the CPU of the WEB server S detects that the Aichi Prefecture button B7 is pressed in step S603, the CPU proceeds to the process of step S701 shown in FIG. In S <b> 701, the CPU of the WEB server S distributes data constituting the municipal area screen shown in FIG. 21, and the municipal area screen shown in FIG. 21 is displayed on the user terminal 31. This municipality area selection screen is composed of an entire Aichi Prefecture map, a typical event information window of Aichi Prefecture, and the like. When the CPU of the WEB server S distributes all Aichi Prefecture maps and other display data, it reads the necessary data from the RAM of the WEB server S and distributes the data to the user terminal 31 as an image. Is displayed.

  Similarly, when the CPU of the WEB server S displays the event information window, the “type information” in the column of the data table DT1 for the Aichi area shown in FIG. 11 stored in the RAM of the WEB server S is displayed. The “name information” of the row including the cell “event” is read and the data is distributed.

  FIG. 21 shows a display example on the user terminal 31 when the CPU of the WEB server S reads “event information” from the data table DT1 shown in FIG. 11 and distributes them as data constituting the screen. In the event information window, in addition to the name of the event, a selection button B9 and a detail button B10 are displayed. The selection button B9 is arranged on the left side of the name of the event information, and is always in a state where any event is selected. In FIG. 21, the selected event information is on the right side of the black circle. When the detail button B10 is pressed in this state, detailed information on the selected event is displayed. When the detail button B10 is pressed in the state of FIG. 21, detailed information of Chubu New International Airport is displayed in a window (not shown). Since this point is irrelevant to the present invention, it is not mentioned in the flowchart of FIG. 7 and is not shown. The detailed information of the selected event (Chubu New International Airport) is read from the storage area indicated by the cell value specified by the row and column of the data table DT1.

  Next, the CPU of the WEB server S proceeds to S702, and determines whether any of the regional buttons B8, B8. If the CPU of the WEB server S determines that one of the areas (A to G areas) in the Aichi area shown in FIG. 21 has been pressed, the process proceeds to S703. Here, it is assumed that the region button B8 for the region B is pressed.

  In S703, the CPU of the WEB server S reads out information on the human hotel and pet hotel of the pressed area button B8 from the data table DT1, and includes these data in the “hotel / pet” shown in FIG. Distributes data composing the hotel list window. The user terminal 31 displays a “hotel / pet hotel list window” shown in FIG. When there is a lot of display information, the information read from the data table DT1 is displayed by a scroll window. In FIG. 22, the hotel for humans and the hotel for pets are displayed at random, but they may be displayed separately.

  That is, when the CPU of the WEB server S detects that the area button B8 of “B area” is pressed on the user terminal 31 while the screen shown in FIG. 21 is displayed on the user terminal 31, the data table DT1. Among the rows in which the value of “type information” in the column that constitutes “human hotel” or “pet hotel” is “B region” in the row where the value of the “region information” column is “B region” The cell value of “name information” is read. Then, the CPU of the WEB server S distributes the “name information” together with the data constituting the “hotel / pet hotel list window” of FIG. Thereby, the screen of FIG. 22 is displayed on the user terminal 31.

In the “hotel / pet hotel list window” of FIG. 22, a selection button B11 and a detail button B12 are displayed in addition to the name of the hotel. The selection button B11 is arranged on the left side of each facility name in the “list of hotels and pet hotels”, and is always in a state where any hotel or pet hotel is selected. In FIG. 22, a hotel or a pet hotel displayed on the right side of the part indicated by a black circle is a hotel / pet hotel.
Next, the CPU of the WEB server S proceeds to the process of S704.

  In S <b> 704, the CPU of the WEB server S determines whether or not the detail button B <b> 12 is pressed on the user terminal 31 while the screen illustrated in FIG. 22 is displayed on the user terminal 31. When the CPU of the WEB server S detects that the detail button B12 is pressed (S704: “YES”), the CPU proceeds to step S705.

  In step S705, the CPU of the WEB server S reads out the detailed information of the hotel or pet hotel indicated by the selection button B11 from the storage area indicated by the cell value specified by the row and column of the data table DT1. The data is distributed together with the data constituting “Detailed window of XX hotel” in FIG. 23 (“Wakaba hotel is detailed window” because Wakaba hotel is selected in FIG. 23). Thereby, the distributed data is displayed on the user terminal 31.

  A reservation inquiry button B13 is arranged in the “detailed window of Wakaba hotel” in FIG. Then, the CPU of the WEB server S proceeds to step S706, and determines whether or not the reservation inquiry button B13 is pressed. When the CPU of the WEB server S determines that an operation other than pressing the reservation inquiry button B13 has been performed, the process proceeds to S708, and when it is determined that the press is a press in another area in Aichi Prefecture, the process proceeds to S707. Then, the process returns to S703 (the same applies when “NO” is determined in S704). In S708, if it is another process, the corresponding process in S709 is performed (if the return button B6 is pressed, a process such as returning to the previous screen display is performed).

  If the CPU of the WEB server S determines in S706 that the reservation inquiry button B13 has been pressed, the process proceeds to S801 in FIG. The CPU of the WEB server S extracts a pet hotel from the data table DT2 of FIG. 12 (when a pet hotel is selected, a human hotel is extracted. When a pet hotel is selected, In the description of, the human hotel and the pet hotel may be replaced.)

  Here, the data table DT2 of FIG. 12 will be described. If the data table DT2 is not created when the travel reservation program PG1 is started, the CPU of the WEB server S creates it. The CPU of the WEB server S calculates the distance between the human hotel and the pet hotel based on the longitude / latitude information of the data table DT1, and arranges the human hotel and the pet hotel in columns and rows, respectively. A data table DT2 is created by storing the distance between the hotel between the human hotel and the pet hotel in the intersected cell. It is updated when the human hotel terminal 41 or the pet hotel terminal 51 is added (that is, a registered hotel is added). The data table DT2 can be created by the agency host 21 and uploaded to the WEB server S.

  In S801, the CPU of the WEB server S extracts a pet hotel from the data table DT2 as follows. Description will be made assuming that “Wakaba Hotel” is selected as shown in FIG. First, the data table DT2 is read out, the data rows are sorted based on the value of the column “Wakaba Hotel”, the data table DT3 is generated, and stored in the RAM of the CPU of the WEB server S. The data table DT3 is in a state where the rows of pet hotels that constitute the column of “Wakaba Hotel” are sorted in the order of the closest distance to “Wakaba Hotel”.

  Then, the CPU of the WEB server S reads (1) the name of the pet hotel and (2) the cell value indicating the distance between the hotels with the Wakaba hotel from the top in order from the data table DT3, and proceeds to S802. These data are distributed together with the data constituting the screen of the reservation form 1 in FIG. As a result, the reservation form 1 shown in FIG. 24 is displayed on the user terminal 31. In the pull-down menu of “Please choose freely” in FIG. 24, other pet hotels are displayed.

  In the reservation form 1 of FIG. 24, predetermined items are input from the user terminal 31 by the user using the keyboard. As the human hotel, the human hotel selected in S706 is displayed. The predetermined items to be input by the keyboard are the designation of which pet hotel to select from among the “pet hotels displayed in order of distance” shown in FIG. 24, the date and time of check-in and check-out (in FIG. 24,・ Only human day room type and number of rooms ・ Pet hotel room type and number of rooms, user name, address, e-mail address, telephone, fax number, etc. Is not to be done. The data input from the keyboard is temporarily stored, for example, in the data structure of the data table DT4 shown in FIG.

  The CPU of the WEB server S proceeds to S803, determines whether or not the transmission button B14 in FIG. 24 has been pressed, and determines that it has been pressed (S803: “YES”), the data format of the data table DT4 is transmitted from the user terminal 31. Receive transmitted data. The CPU of the WEB server S proceeds to S804, determines whether or not there is data appropriate for the received data, and when it is determined that there is a leak in the keyboard input, displays that fact and returns to S802 (S804). : "NO").

  Then, the CPU of the WEB server S waits for a keyboard input by the user (S802 to S804). When processing other than transmission is performed in S803, the CPU of the WEB server S proceeds to S813 and performs the corresponding processing, but a detailed description thereof is omitted because it is not related to the present invention.

  If the CPU of the WEB server S determines that there is no omission of keyboard input in the received data having the data structure of the data table DT4 received in S804, the process proceeds to S805.

  In S805, the CPU of the WEB server S searches for a human hotel and a pet hotel based on the received data. At this time, based on the data tables DT1 and DT5 for the human hotel and based on the data table DT1 and the data table DT6 for the pet hotel, it is searched whether there is an empty room that meets the conditions.

  In FIG. 24, “Wakaba Hotel” is selected as the human hotel, and this will be described as an example. First, as in the reservation form 1, the number of rooms is multiplied by the human room type and the number of rooms is stored. The data table DT4 in FIG. 14 indicates that one twin room and one medium-sized dog room are checked in on March 20, 2004 and checked out on March 23, 2004. The CPU of the WEB server S refers to or stores these data for use. Based on the check-in date and the check-out date and time, the date of stay (from the check-in date to the day before check-out) is recognized (because the actual stay is necessary until the day before check-out).

  First, the CPU of the WEB server S searches for the availability of a hotel for human beings from the “Wakaba Hotel” line in the data table DT1 from the date of stay (March 20, 2004, 21st, 22nd). Get the data location where the vacancy information is stored. For this purpose, the CPU of the WEB server S acquires the data position where the vacancy information of March 2004 is stored, refers to the data table DT5 of FIG. ). Since the remaining number of rooms is 1 or more in all cases, the CPU of the WEB server S sets the flag value of the human hotel in the upper bits of the flag FG (see FIG. 10) to “0”. When the remaining number of rooms is not enough even for one day, the flag value is set to “1”.

  Next, the CPU of the WEB server S searches for the vacancy of the hotel for pets from the “table with Yayoi pet hotel” in the data table DT1 (March 20, 2004, 21st, 22nd, 2004). The data position where the empty information is stored is acquired. For this purpose, the CPU of the WEB server S obtains the data position where the vacancy information of March 2004 is stored, refers to the data table DT6 in FIG. ). Since the remaining number of rooms is 1 or more in all, the CPU of the WEB server S sets the flag value of the pet hotel in the lower bits of the flag FG (see FIG. 10) to “0”. When the remaining number of rooms is not enough even for one day, the flag value is set to “1”.

  Next, the CPU of the WEB server S proceeds to S806, and determines the presence / absence of an empty room that matches the condition based on the value of the flag FG (see FIG. 10). If the value of the flag FG is “00” (in other words, if there is a vacancy), the CPU of the WEB server S proceeds to S807 and distributes data constituting the screen of the reservation form 2 shown in FIG. As a result, the user terminal 31 displays a screen indicating “There was a vacant room” and a reservation button B15 and a return button B6 together. If the CPU of the WEB server S determines in step S806 that there is no vacant room, the process proceeds to S812, and the data constituting the screen “Change the condition again and search” is distributed. After that, the process returns to S802. On the user terminal 31, after displaying that fact, the screen of the reservation form 1 is displayed.

  Next, the CPU of the WEB server S proceeds to S808, and determines whether or not the reservation button B15 is pressed. Here, when the CPU of the WEB server S determines that the reservation button B15 has been pressed, the process proceeds to S809, and the reservation shown in the reservation form 3 of FIG. 26 is made as follows. Thank you for the reservation. The data that constitutes the screen, “Please make a reservation after waiting for payment within this period. As a result, the screen shown in FIG. 26 is displayed on the user terminal 31.

  Further, the CPU of the WEB server S generates a group of data rows having the data structure of FIG. 17A and adds it to the data table DT7 (reservation list). FIG. 5B shows a data table DT7 showing the added state. The data table DT7 shown in the figure only shows some of the reservations for this time, but consists of a large number of data and is sorted in the order of the payment deadlines of the reserved hotels. The data table DT7 corresponds to an item in which a reservation number and a payment deadline are added to the data table DT4 as items. The CPU of the WEB server S performs payment time limit management and transmission / reception of confirmation mails based on the data table DT7.

  Then, the CPU of the WEB server S proceeds to S810 and transmits a reservation confirmation mail to the user together with a reservation number (for example, 123456 in FIG. 17), and then proceeds to S811 to send a waiting mail for payment to the human hotel and the pet hotel. Send along with the reservation number.

  In step S808, if the reservation button B15 is not pressed and the return button B6 or other processing is performed, the CPU of the WEB server S proceeds to S812, and “Please search again by changing the conditions. ”Is distributed, and the process returns to S802. On the user terminal 31, after displaying that fact, the screen of the reservation form 1 is displayed.

[Process of WEB server S based on operation of agency terminal 21]
As shown in step S901, the WEB server S waits for an e-mail notifying that payment has been received from the agency terminal 21. The e-mail is displayed as “Payment communication: No. XX” as the subject, and the content of the e-mail is composed of a reservation number (for example, 6 digits) and a name (for example, 20 digits) although illustration is omitted. Consists of a specific data structure. If the CPU of the WEB server S receives this e-mail within a predetermined period, the process proceeds to step S902. If this e-mail is not received within the predetermined period, the process proceeds to S906, and a reservation failure message is transmitted to the user.

  When the CPU of the WEB server S receives an e-mail having a predetermined data structure displayed in the subject of “deposit payment: No. XX” in S902, the e-mail is automatically designated as “deposit receipt”. The data corresponding to the reservation number is retrieved from the data table DT7 and extracted. Then, a password for opening a specific URL is given to the extracted user, and in addition to the “reservation establishment message”, the specific URL and its password are embedded as the contents of the e-mail, and the “reservation establishment message” is sent to the user. Send. That is, for “reservation number: 123456” in FIG. 17, the CPU of the WEB server S transmits an e-mail including a reservation establishment message, a password, and a specific URL to its e-mail address. .

  Next, the CPU of the WEB server S proceeds to step S903, and determines whether or not the user opens a specific URL and inputs a password. If the CPU of the WEB server S determines that the user has entered a password, the process proceeds to step S904, where the password, accommodation facility, pet hotel contact information, map, check-in / check-out method, and “print this page” are displayed. And bring it on the day. ” Thereby, these data are displayed on the screen of the user terminal 31 (not shown).

  Next, the CPU of the WEB server S proceeds to step 905 and transmits an e-mail to the effect that the reservation has been established to the human hotel and the pet hotel.

  As mentioned above, although 1st embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment. In the above embodiment, the human hotel is designated first by the user and then the pet hotel candidates are displayed. However, the pet hotel is designated by the user first, and then the human hotel Candidates can be displayed and reserved.

  According to the above embodiment, since the user can search for a hotel for a human and a hotel for a pet at the same time and can make a reservation at the same time, there is an effect that the user can search and make a reservation more efficiently than searching separately. In addition, the pet hotel (or human hotel) is searched based on the distance between the hotel and the human hotel (or pet hotel), so that it is possible to make a reservation at a location close to the hotel. Furthermore, even if a person and a pet are staying separately, there is an effect that it is convenient for the user because the fee only has to be paid to one agency.

[Second Embodiment]
In the above embodiment, the hotel or the pet hotel is extracted with reference to the data table DT2 in S801. However, the distance between the hotels is calculated from the latitude and longitude information of the data table DT1, and the pets are calculated in the order of the calculated values. You may sort hotels. That is, instead of the processing of S801, a calculation process for obtaining the distance between the two hotels is performed, and a data table storing the distance between the hotel for the pet and the hotel for the human is generated in the order of the distance between the hotels. The hotel for pets may be displayed in the order of the shortest distance between the hotels.
That is, taking FIG. 23 as an example, the distance between a human hotel designated by the user (Wakaba Hotel) and all pet hotels on the data table DT1 of the corresponding area (in this case Aichi Prefecture area) Is calculated. The calculation is performed based on a formula for obtaining the distance between two points based on the position information of the human hotel and the position information of all the pet hotels. Then, based on this, a data table that lists the distance as the calculation result and the pet hotel may be generated.

[Third embodiment]
In the above-described embodiment, the availability status is searched on the WEB server S in S805, but after generating the data table DT4, this table is transmitted to the corresponding human hotel or pet hotel by e-mail, A search for availability may be performed at each hotel. Then, the search result of the availability is returned to the WEB server S with a value of “0” or “1”, the value is stored in the upper bit for the hotel for humans, and the lower bit for the hotel for pets. The value may be stored to configure the flag FG and used for the determination in S806.

[Fourth embodiment]
In the above-described embodiment, the distance between hotels is displayed on the screen. However, instead of this, or together with this, an approximate time required for a car can be displayed. In this case, the required time may be stored in the data table DT2 instead of the distance or together with the distance.
