Description

The present invention relates to an information processing device, a user terminal, an information processing method, and a program capable of controlling a user's check-in process to a service facility such as a restaurant and a process of giving privilege information according to the check-in process.

Conventionally, when a user visits a service facility such as a restaurant, as a privilege to the user, an electronic stamp is given via a user terminal instead of the conventional stamping on a stamp card using a paper medium. It has been.

For example, in Patent Document 1 below, it is displayed on a user's mobile terminal by a check-in privilege granting means having a short-range wireless communication function and having a size that can be held by the user or a service provider on the service facility side. By attaching an electronic stamp to the electronic stamp card, the electronic stamp is displayed on the electronic stamp card, so that the user can easily recognize that the electronic stamp has been attached. It is disclosed.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2016-106286

However, in the above technology, when a user carrying a mobile terminal having the electronic stamp card visits the store together with another user, the electronic stamp is not given to the other user, so that the other user carries his / her own mobile phone. It is necessary to separately prepare an electronic stamp card for the terminal, which is not only inconvenient for other users, but also has a problem that the collection of user information is not promoted for the service facility side.

In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to easily share the benefits given to the user who visited the service facility to other users who visited the service facility, and to provide the visit information of more users to the service facility. An object of the present invention is to provide an information processing device, a user terminal, an information processing method, and a program that can be acquired by the side.

In order to achieve the above object, the information processing device according to one embodiment of the present invention has a communication means capable of communicating with a plurality of user terminals and a control means. The control means is a check-in including a facility ID that identifies the service facility and a first terminal ID that identifies the first user terminal from the first user terminal that has checked in to the service facility among the plurality of user terminals. When the information is received, the first terminal ID is stored in association with the first privilege information. Further, the control means transmits the check-in identification information that can be read only for a predetermined first time from the time when the check-in information is received to the first user terminal, and after the first time has elapsed, the first time from the time of receiving the check-in information. When the check-in information is received again from the first user terminal within the second hour, which is longer than the time, new check-in identification information that can be read only for the first hour from the time of the re-receipt is obtained. Send to the first user terminal. Further, when the control means receives the check-in shared information including the second terminal ID for identifying the second user terminal and the first terminal ID from the second user terminal that has read the check-in identification information, the control means receives the check-in shared information. The second terminal ID is stored in association with the first privilege information.

As a result, the information processing device not only grants the corresponding privilege when the user terminal checks in to the service facility, but also transmits the check-in identification information for a limited period of time so that the other user terminal can read it. In addition, by giving the check-in identification information a chance to be read again by the check-in operation again even after the valid time has elapsed, the benefits given to the user who visited the service facility can be easily shared with other users who visited together. At the same time, it is possible to have the service facility side acquire the visit information of more users. Here, the first hour is, for example, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc., and the second hour is 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, etc., but is not limited thereto. The check-in may also be performed by contact or communication with a check-in device installed in the facility. In this case, the check-in device has a predetermined stamp pattern that differs for each service facility, and is capable of causing the user terminal to recognize the stamp pattern by touching the touch panel of the user terminal. The check-in identification information may be, for example, an image of an electronic stamp corresponding to the stamp pattern, but is not limited to this.

When the check-in information is received again from the first user terminal after the lapse of the second time, the control means corresponds to the first terminal ID with the second privilege information different from the first privilege information. You may attach it and memorize it.

As a result, when the information processing device receives the check-in information again after the lapse of the second time, the check-in is not a check-in operation for sharing with other users, but a second check-in to the same service facility. It can be regarded as check-in and new benefits different from those at the first check-in can be given.

When the control means receives the check-in shared information from the second user terminal that has read the check-in identification information, the control means applies the check-in identification information only for the first time from the time when the check-in shared information is received. It may be updated to be readable.

As a result, when the user of the first user terminal shares the check-in information with the user of the second user terminal, the information processing device extends the readable time of the check-in identification information of the first user terminal. A user can give yet another user an opportunity to share check-in information.

When the control means receives the check-in shared information from the second user terminal that has read the check-in identification information, the control means receives the check-in shared information to the second user terminal only for the first time. A third terminal ID that transmits readable check-in identification information and identifies the third user terminal from the third user terminal that has read the check-in identification information, and the first terminal ID or the second terminal ID. When the check-in shared information including the above is received, the third terminal ID may be stored in association with the first privilege information.

As a result, the information processing apparatus can allow the user who has shared the check-in information to share the check-in information with yet another user.

The control means stores the first terminal ID and the second terminal ID in association with each other, and after the first time has elapsed from the time of receiving the check-in shared information from the second user terminal, the second When the check-in information is received again from the first user terminal within an hour, new check-in identification information that can be read only for the first time from the time of the re-receipt is referred to as the first terminal ID. It may be transmitted to the second user terminal having the corresponding second terminal ID.

As a result, the information processing device gives the user of the first user terminal the time for the user of the second user terminal to share the check-in information with the user of the first user terminal. Recognizing the re-check-in operation of can be extended and new sharing opportunities can be given.

When the control means receives the check-in information including the facility ID and the second terminal ID from the second user terminal within the second time from the reception of the check-in information from the first user terminal. If the check-in shared information has not been received from the second user terminal, the second terminal ID may be stored in association with the first privilege information.

As a result, when the user of the second user terminal himself / herself checks in via the check-in device, the information processing device is privileged on the condition that the check-in information is not shared by the user of the first user terminal. By granting, it is possible to prevent the privilege from being granted to one user in duplicate.

A user terminal according to another embodiment of the present invention has a communication means capable of communicating with a server, a display means, and a control means. When the control means detects the check-in of the user terminal to the service facility, the control means transmits the check-in information including the facility ID for identifying the service facility and the terminal ID for identifying the user terminal to the server. Further, the control means receives from the server check-in identification information that can be read only for a predetermined first time from the time when the check-in information is received by the server. Further, when the control means re-contacts or communicates with the check-in device within the second time, which is longer than the first time, after the lapse of the first time, the control means sends the check-in information to the server. By transmitting again, new check-in identification information that can be read only for the first time from the time when the check-in information is received again by the server is received, and the check-in identification information is displayed on the display means. In this case, the server uses the check-in information received from the user terminal and the check-in shared information received from the other user terminal that has read the check-in identification information, and the user terminal and the other user terminal. Each terminal ID of the above is stored in association with the predetermined privilege information.

As a result, the user terminal can not only receive the corresponding benefits at the time of check-in to the service facility, but also receive the check-in identification information having a valid time and have another user terminal read it, and the valid time elapses. By enabling the check-in identification information to be read again by the check-in operation again after that, the benefits given to the user of the user terminal can be easily shared with other users who visited together, and more. It is possible to have the service facility side acquire the visit information of the user.

Each of these databases is used by being referred to each other as necessary in the check-in privilege granting process by the restaurant information providing server 100 described later.

[Operation of restaurant information providing server]
Next, the operation of the restaurant information providing server 100 configured as described above will be described. The operation is executed by the cooperation between the hardware such as the CPU 11 and the communication unit 19 of the restaurant information providing server 100 and the software stored in the storage unit 18. In the following description, for convenience, the CPU 11 is the main operating body.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of the check-in privilege granting process at the restaurant by the restaurant information providing server 100.

As shown in the figure, the CPU 11 of the restaurant information providing server 100 first determines whether or not the check-in information has been received from the user terminal 200 (first user terminal) that has checked in to the restaurant (step 51). ).

The check-in information includes a store ID that identifies the restaurant and a first terminal ID that identifies the first user terminal that has checked in. For check-in in the present embodiment, a user who visits a restaurant activates the check-in application on the user terminal 200, picks up the check-in device 300 (electronic stamp device) installed in the restaurant, and then picks it up. This is executed by bringing (stamping) the bottom surface into contact with (stamping) the display unit 26 (electronic stamp stamping area displayed by the check-in application).

Upon contact with the electronic stamp device, the check-in application of the user terminal 200 recognizes the stamp pattern of the electronic stamp device, recognizes the store ID from the stamp pattern, and uses it together with the first terminal ID of the user terminal 200. It is transmitted to the restaurant information providing server 100 as check-in information. However, instead of the check-in application recognizing the store ID from the stamp pattern, the check-in application sends the stamp pattern information as it is to the restaurant information providing server 100, and the restaurant information providing server 100 receives it from the stamp pattern. The corresponding store ID may be recognized.

When it is determined that the check-in information has been received from the user terminal 200 (first user terminal) (Yes), the CPU 11 identifies the store ID and the first terminal ID from the check-in information (step 52).

Subsequently, the CPU 11 stores the first terminal ID in the privilege information database 43 in association with the privilege information (first privilege information) corresponding to the check-in (step 53). The first privilege information may be an electronic coupon, or may be individual check-in number identification information that becomes an electronic coupon when a predetermined number is collected.

Subsequently, the CPU 11 transmits a check-in identification image (electronic stamp image S) that can be read only for the time T1 to the user terminal (first user terminal) (step 54). The time T1 is, for example, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc., but is not limited thereto.

The user of the user terminal 200 (first user terminal) who has received the electronic stamp image S visits the electronic stamp image S together with the electronic stamp image S while the electronic stamp image S is displayed on the display unit 26. Check-in information can be shared with other users by reading it with a reader (camera) of the user terminal 200 (second user terminal) of the user.

Specifically, when the other user terminal 200 (second user terminal) reads the electronic stamp image S, the second user terminal transmits the check-in shared information to the restaurant information providing server 100. The check-in shared information includes a second terminal ID that identifies the second user terminal and the first terminal ID.

Subsequently, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the check-in shared information has been received from the second user terminal (step 55).

When it is determined that the check-in shared information has been received from the second user terminal (Yes), the CPU 11 uses the check-in shared information to identify the second user terminal as the second terminal ID and the sharing source first user terminal. The first terminal ID for identifying is specified (step 56).

Subsequently, the CPU 11 associates the second terminal ID with the first privilege information and stores it in the privilege information database 43 (step 57).

Subsequently, the CPU 11 extends the readable time of the electronic stamp image S by the time T1 from the time when the check-in shared information is received (step 58). That is, when the user of the first user terminal shares the check-in information with the user of the second user terminal, the readable time of the electronic stamp image S is given in order to give another user an opportunity to share the check-in information. Is extended.

Further, the CPU 11 transmits the electronic stamp image S that can be read only for the time T1 to the second user terminal that is the receiver of the check-in shared information (step 59). As a result, not only the user of the first user terminal who checked in but also the user of the second user terminal with whom the check-in information is shared is given an opportunity to share the check-in information with other users.

That is, the user of the second user terminal who has received the electronic stamp image S can use the electronic stamp image S together with another user who has visited the store with the electronic stamp image S displayed on the display unit 26. The check-in information can be shared with other users by reading it with a reader or the like of the user terminal 200 (third user terminal). Although not shown, the third user terminal that has read the electronic stamp image S has a third terminal ID that identifies the third user terminal and the first terminal ID (or the second user terminal), similarly to the second user terminal. Check-in shared information including the terminal ID) is transmitted to the restaurant information providing server 100, and the restaurant information providing server 100 stores the third terminal ID and the first privilege information in association with each other in the specific information database 43. do.

Subsequently, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the time T1 (including the case after the extension) has elapsed (step 60).

If it is determined that the time T1 has not elapsed (No), the CPU 11 repeats the processes after step 55.

When it is determined that the time T1 has elapsed (Yes), the CPU 11 determines whether or not the check-in information has been received again from the first user terminal (step 61).

When it is determined that the check-in information has been received again from the first user terminal (Yes), the CPU 11 determines whether or not the time T2 has elapsed since the first check-in information was received (step 62). The time T2 is a time longer than the above time T1, and is, for example, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, and the like, but is not limited thereto. In other words, the time T2 is longer than the average staying time of a general customer at a restaurant.

If it is determined that the time T2 has not elapsed since the first check-in information was received (No), the CPU 11 obtains the electronic stamp image S that can be read only by the time T1 from the time when the check-in information is received again. 1 The information is transmitted to the user terminal (step 54), and the processes after step 55 are repeated.

That is, when the user of the first user terminal checks in to the restaurant and then performs the check-in operation (stamping operation of the electronic stamp device) again during his / her stay, the CPU 11 reappears the electronic stamp image S. It is transmitted to the first user terminal to give the user of the first user terminal a new opportunity to share check-in information. Therefore, the check-in operation again can be said to be an operation for making the electronic stamp image S unreadable again readable.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the time T2 has elapsed since the first check-in information was received (Yes), the CPU 11 has the first terminal ID and the second privilege information different from the first privilege information. Is stored in the privilege information database 43 in association with the above (step 63).

That is, when the user of the first user terminal receives the check-in information again after the lapse of time T2, the CPU 11 returns to the same restaurant after finishing the meal at the restaurant and leaving the restaurant. Assuming that a new check-in has been made, the user of the first user terminal is given a privilege different from that at the time of the previous check-in (giving a new coupon or updating the check-in count information).

[summary]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, the restaurant information providing server 100 not only grants benefits corresponding to the check-in of the user terminal 200 to the restaurant, but also checks for a limited effective time. A restaurant by transmitting an in-identification image (electronic stamp image S) and causing another user terminal 200 to read it, and by giving an opportunity to read the check-in identification image again by a check-in operation again even after the valid time has elapsed. It is possible to easily share the privilege given to the user who visited the restaurant with other users who visited the restaurant, and to have the restaurant acquire the visit information of more users.

Further, since the sharing of check-in information is completed only by having another user terminal read the check-in identification image, the sharing of check-in information can be realized without the need for the restaurant side to prepare new equipment.

[Modification example]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

In the above-described embodiment, the restaurant information providing server 100 stores the first terminal ID of the sharing source of the check-in information and the second terminal ID of the sharing destination in association with each other, and after the lapse of the time T1 If the check-in information is received again from the first user terminal before the time T2 elapses, a new electronic stamp image S that can be read only for the time T1 from the time of the re-receipt is displayed on the first user terminal. 2 It may be transmitted to the user terminal. As a result, the restaurant information providing server 010 sets the time for the user of the second user terminal, whose check-in information is shared by the user of the first user terminal, to share the check-in information with another user. By recognizing the user's re-check-in operation of the user terminal, it can be extended and a new sharing opportunity can be given.

In the above-described embodiment, the restaurant information providing server 100 obtains the store ID and the second terminal ID from the second user terminal within the time T2 from the time when the check-in information is received from the first user terminal. Even if the check-in information including the check-in information is received and the check-in shared information is not received from the second user terminal, the second terminal ID can be stored in association with the first privilege information. good. As a result, when the user of the second user terminal himself / herself checks in via the check-in device (electronic stamp device), the restaurant information providing server 100 shares the check-in information from the user of the first user terminal. By granting the privilege on the condition that the privilege has not been received, it is possible to prevent the privilege from being given to one user in duplicate.

In the above-described embodiment, the electronic stamping device that contacts the user terminal 200 is mentioned as the check-in device, but the check-in device is not limited to the electronic stamping device. For example, the check-in device may be a device capable of transmitting check-in identification information to the user terminal 200 by short-range wireless communication. Further, regardless of the check-in device, for example, when the user terminal 200 reads the two-dimensional code on the check-in sticker installed in each restaurant, the user terminal 200 outputs the check-in information to the restaurant information providing server 100. You may send to.

In the above-described embodiment, when the restaurant information providing server 100 receives the check-in information from the first user terminal 200, the check-in identification image is used as the check-in identification information transmitted for reading by the second user terminal 200. Was mentioned. However, the check-in identification information is not limited to the image, and may be, for example, characters or symbols.

In the above-described embodiment, a restaurant is mentioned as an example of the service facility, but the service facility is not limited to the restaurant, for example, accommodation facilities such as hotels and inns, various sports facilities such as tennis and golf, and karaoke and bowling. The present invention is similarly applicable to various service facilities such as entertainment facilities such as.

Among the inventions described in the claims of the present application, the invention described as "information processing method" is such that at least one device such as a computer automatically performs each step by information processing by software. Yes, it is not something that humans do using devices such as computers. That is, the "information processing method" is an information processing method by computer software, not a method in which a human operates a calculation tool called a computer.
