An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.

[1. Overview]
First, an overview of the present invention will be described.

Traditionally, driving schools have managed cancellation waiting lists using a handwritten ledger, and especially during busy periods, it was a high-load job to have a human decide whether or not to allow a ride. Also, traditionally, driving schools have had cases where a student could not take a cancellation even if they accepted it, depending on the student's progress in training and the training situation on the day of the lesson. This decision was ultimately made by checking the original training ledger that students usually bring with them when they come to the school, but because the student would carry it around, it was necessary to call the student to check, or the check and decision had to be made during a short break in training time.

Therefore, in this embodiment, a cancellation waiting reception screen is displayed on either the cancellation waiting reception dedicated terminal or the lesson reservation operation terminal operated by the student, the student is allowed to specify and register the desired time period, the data on the student's cancellation waiting list is displayed on the same-day reservation dispatch screen after being extracted by date and time period, and the operator is allowed to assign the student to an instructor who is available for instruction.

Here, in this embodiment, the same-day reservation allocation screen, which displays a list of waiting-listed trainees, displays the training content (tasks) according to the trainee's training progress, and makes it possible to determine whether an available instructor can handle the training content (tasks). In addition, the same-day reservation allocation screen in this embodiment makes it possible to determine whether the next training the trainee will do is a high-speed training or hazard prediction training that will require the same instructor for more than two consecutive hours. In addition, in the same-day reservation allocation screen in this embodiment, when assigning an instructor and a trainee, it is possible to determine whether the instructor has the teaching qualifications for the trainee's vehicle model. In addition, in the same-day reservation allocation screen in this embodiment, it is possible to determine whether the trainee is subject to legal restrictions such as a limit on the number of lessons up to two or three hours in one day and a limit on consecutive lessons, depending on the trainee's training record and training reservation status on the day. In addition, in the same-day reservation and dispatch screen of this embodiment, depending on whether the vehicle type for the lesson is a Class 1 license or Class 2 license, or whether the lesson is for removing restrictions on the license held, it is possible to determine up to two periods per day and two consecutive periods in the first stage, and up to three periods per day and two consecutive periods in principle (up to three consecutive hours as an exception) in the second stage. In addition, in the same-day reservation and dispatch screen of this embodiment, if the lesson reservation situation is subject to legal restrictions, the student can be informed that they can wait for a cancellation by changing the reservation, making it possible to implement lessons according to the student's wishes. In addition, in the same-day reservation and dispatch screen of this embodiment, if multiple students are waiting for a cancellation for the same period, it is possible to display the students with a priority order based on a judgment criterion that can be set in the system.

[Cancellation waiting vehicle dispatch processing]
Here, an example of the cancellation waiting vehicle dispatch process in this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 8. Fig. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of the process of the cancellation waiting vehicle dispatch device 100 in this embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 8, the reception screen display unit 102a displays on the output device 114 a cancellation waiting reception screen that allows a student at a driving school to select the desired date and time for which they wish to wait for a cancellation (step SA-1).

Then, when a student at the driving school selects a desired date and time for waiting for cancellations on the cancellation waiting reception screen via the input device 112, the cancellation waiting reception unit 102b acquires cancellation waiting reception data based on the student data stored in the student database 106b, which includes the desired date and time for waiting for cancellations, the number of reservations (the number of lessons and reserved time periods for the desired date for waiting for cancellations), and the order of reception, etc. (step SA-2).

Then, the same-day reservation dispatch screen display unit 102c displays on the output device 114 a same-day reservation dispatch screen that allows the selection of a list of instructors available for instruction during the target time period and a list of students on the cancellation waiting list sorted in order of legal deadlines, and also in order of acceptance and number of reservations (step SA-3), based on the instructor data stored in the instructor database 106a, the student data stored in the student database 106b, and the cancellation waiting reception data.

Then, when a selected instructor is selected from the list of instructors on the same-day reservation dispatch screen via the input device 112 by the driving school staff, and a selected student is selected from the list of students, the instruction availability judgment result acquisition unit 102d acquires the result of the instruction availability judgment by the selected instructor to the selected student based on the restriction master 106c, the instructor data stored in the instructor database 106a, and the student data stored in the student database 106b (step SA-4).

Then, the same-day reservation dispatch screen display unit 102c determines whether the result of the training availability determination is that training is available (step SA-5).

Then, if the same-day reservation dispatch screen display unit 102c determines that the lesson availability judgment result indicates that the lesson is available (step SA-5: Yes), it transitions the process to step SA-6.

Then, the same-day reservation dispatch screen display unit 102c displays the lesson content of the selected student selected on the same-day reservation dispatch screen in the lesson content display area of the selected instructor selected on the same-day reservation dispatch screen (step SA-6), and ends the process.

On the other hand, if the same-day reservation dispatch screen display unit 102c determines that the lesson availability determination result indicates that the lesson is not available (step SA-5: No), it transitions the process to step SA-7.

Then, the same-day reservation dispatch screen display unit 102c displays error message data indicating that the lesson availability determination result is that the lesson is not available on the output device 114 (step SA-7), and ends the process.

Here, an example of the cancellation waiting vehicle dispatch process in this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 9 to 11. Figures 9 to 11 are flow diagrams showing an example of the cancellation waiting vehicle dispatch process in this embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 9, in this embodiment, when a student touches a time limit on the cancellation waiting reception screen displayed on a touch panel monitor on a reservation terminal or a cancellation waiting reception dedicated terminal operated by the student to select the time limit for cancelation waiting, the desired cancellation waiting time is accepted. Here, (1) in FIG. 9 indicates a time limit that has already passed, and the time limit for cancellation waiting reception changes according to the time when the cancellation waiting reception is operated. Also, (2) in FIG. 9 indicates the time limit for cancellation waiting reception, (3) in FIG. 9 indicates the time limit for which cancellation waiting reception is registered, and (4) in FIG. 9 indicates the time limit for which no lessons are being held.

As shown in FIG. 10, in this embodiment, cancellation waiting reception data is created in accordance with the operation of the student, in which the student number, date, time limit, reception order, number of reservations, number of days until the deadline, and reservation availability time limit are set. Here, in this embodiment, the "reception order" is the order in which the student made the cancellation waiting reception, and the student who made the operation earlier in one day is numbered in order starting from 1, the "number of reservations" is the number of hours of lessons (actual) or scheduled to be made (reserved) in one day, the "number of days until the deadline" is the number of days until the legal deadline of the lesson or the expiration date of the provisional driver's license (however, 30 days or more are set to "99"), and the "reservation availability time limit" may be an identifier indicating whether or not it is a time limit during which a lesson reservation can be made (for example, a time limit during which reservations cannot be made is "0", a time limit during which reservations can be made is "1", etc.).

In this embodiment, the reception process is performed on the cancellation waiting reception screen, and when the cancellation waiting reception data is created, the driving lesson history data is referenced to tally up the number of reservations and the number of rides (actual results) on the day of cancellation waiting reception, and a numerical value may be set in the "number of reservations" in the cancellation waiting reception data.

In addition, in this embodiment, when the reception process is performed on the cancellation waiting reception screen and the cancellation waiting reception data is created, the trainee basic data is referenced, the number of days from the processing date for the cancellation waiting reception to the deadline for the training, the provisional license expiration date, and the graduation deadline date are calculated, and the number of days may be set in the "number of days until the deadline" of the cancellation waiting reception data based on the date with the shortest number of days. For example, in this embodiment, the number of days can be set as the "number of days to determine the cancellation waiting deadline", and when the "number of days to determine the cancellation waiting deadline" is set to "14 days", if the minimum number of days from the processing date for the cancellation waiting reception to the deadline for the training, the provisional license expiration date, and the graduation deadline is 0 to 14 days, the number of days from 0 to 14 days may be set in the "number of days until the deadline" of the cancellation waiting reception data, and if it is 15 days or more, "99" may be set in the "number of days until the deadline" of the cancellation waiting reception data.

In addition, in this embodiment, when the reception process is performed on the cancellation waiting reception screen and the cancellation waiting reception data is created, the reservation availability data is referenced based on the day of the week on which the cancellation waiting process is performed and the time limit for performing the reception process, and the content of "reservation availability" in the reservation availability data may be set to the "reservation availability time limit" in the cancellation waiting reception data.

As shown in FIG. 11, in this embodiment, the driving school staff assigns the waiting students and the instructors to be trained. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, in this embodiment, (1) when the instructor to be trained is clicked, it is displayed in the instructor display area, and (2) when the waiting student is clicked, it is displayed in the trainee display area, and at this time, it is checked whether the instructor is qualified to train the trainee and whether the instructor is registered as a rejected instructor by the trainee, and it is determined whether the target instructor can ride based on the instructor data and the trainee data, and (4) if the result of the determination is that the trainee can ride, the instructor's work change content (the instructor's original work content (3) will take over the trainee's work) is displayed in the work code (CD) display area, and if the result of the determination is that the trainee cannot ride, an error message to that effect is displayed, and the combination data of the selected instructor and trainee is not recorded. Here, the list of students shown in Figure 11 may be displayed in order from top to bottom based on the cancellation waiting reception data of each student, giving priority to students with approaching lesson deadlines, students with an earlier reception order, students with fewer lessons (lesson reservations) on the day, and students who can be booked for this time period. The background color of the student numbers of students subject to legal restrictions may be red (in Figure 11, the background color of the student number of "Kyoushu Hanako" is red), and the details of the restrictions (error details) may be displayed in a pop-up.

In this embodiment, when the details of the waiting students are displayed in the waiting list on the same-day reservation dispatch screen, the legal restrictions that are expected when a boarding instruction is given to each student (e.g., limit on the number of rides per day, the continuous lesson time per day, limit on simulator lessons, advance theory limit, limit on the number of second-stage automatic vehicle lessons, limit on the number of second-stage multiple lessons, limit on the second-stage lessons before the issuance of a provisional license, the expiration date of the lessons, and/or the expiration date of the provisional license, etc.) may be checked and displayed in the details.

In addition, in this embodiment, when selecting a combination of an instructor and a student based on the instructor basic data and instructor possible work data, the expiration date of the instructor's driver's license, the instructor's qualifications for the student's training vehicle model, and the work code that can be set for the instructor may be checked as combination check items.
