[0034] (Implementation Method)

[0035] (Information Management System)

[0036] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration example of an information management system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 In the example, the information management system 1 includes an information management server 100. Figure 1 In addition to the information management server 100, information display terminals 20-1 to 20-n (n is an integer of n>0), users U1, U2 and other people (customers) who make accommodation reservations, an information terminal 30-1 used by user U1, an information terminal 30-2 used by user U2, and an accommodation reservation system 50 are also shown.

[0037] The information display terminals 20-1 to 20-n are installed in accommodation facilities 10-1 to 10-n, respectively. An example of the accommodation facilities 10-1 to 10-n is a homestay facility. A homestay is a facility that provides accommodation services to travelers by utilizing all or part of a residence (a single-family house, a condominium, etc.).

[0038] The information management server 100, the information display terminals 20-1 to 20-n, the information terminal 30-1, the information terminal 30-2, and the accommodation reservation system 50 communicate via a network NW. The network NW includes, for example, the Internet, a WAN (Wide Area Network), a LAN (Local Area Network), a provider device, a wireless base station, and the like.

[0039] The user U1 uses the information terminal 30-1 to access the accommodation reservation system 50 and make an accommodation reservation. After completing the accommodation reservation, the accommodation reservation system 50 creates reservation information for the lodger and stores the created reservation information for the lodger. The accommodation reservation system 50 creates reservation-specific information including information for specifying the accommodation facility, information for specifying the name of the lodger, information for specifying the accommodation schedule, etc. The accommodation reservation system 50 sends the created reservation-specific information to the information management server 100 and the information terminal 30-1.

[0040] The information management server 100 receives the reservation specific information transmitted from the accommodation reservation system 50 , and stores the received reservation specific information in the storage unit.

[0041] The information terminal 30 - 1 receives the reservation unique information transmitted from the accommodation reservation system 50 , and stores the received reservation unique information.

[0042] The following description will be given after the user U1 has made an accommodation reservation and before checking in to the accommodation facility.

[0043] After making an accommodation reservation and before checking in to an accommodation facility, the user U1 uses the information terminal 30-1 to access the information management server 100 when he wants to know the facilities of the accommodation facility, the information of the accommodation place, etc. (hereinafter referred to as "first provided information"). The information terminal 30-1 creates a first access request including the reservation-specific information, and transmits the created first access request to the information management server 100.

[0044] The information management server 100 receives the first access request and obtains the reservation-specific information included in the received first access request. The information management server 100 determines whether the obtained reservation-specific information is stored in the storage unit. If the obtained reservation-specific information is stored in the storage unit, the information management server 100 allows the access request from the information terminal 30-1. If the information management server 100 allows the access request from the information terminal 30-1, it creates a first access response including the first provided information provided to the user U1, and sends the created first access response to the information terminal 30-1.

[0045] The information terminal 30 - 1 receives the first access response sent by the information management server 100 , and displays the first provided information provided to the user U1 included in the received access response.

[0046] On the other hand, if the acquired reservation unique information is not stored in the storage unit, the information management server 100 does not allow the access request from the information terminal 30-1. If the information management server 100 does not allow the access request from the information terminal 30-1, it creates a first access response including information indicating that the access request is not allowed, and sends the created first access response to the information terminal 30-1.

[0047] The information terminal 30 - 1 receives the first access response transmitted by the information management server 100 , and displays information indicating that the access request included in the received first access response is not permitted.

[0048] The following will describe the user U1 checking in to the accommodation facility. When the user U1 checks in to the accommodation facility, the accommodation facility sends check-in information. The information management server 100 receives the check-in information sent from the accommodation facility, and based on the received check-in information, sets the corresponding reservation information in the reservation information of the guest stored in the storage unit 109 as checked in.

[0049] The information management server 100 generates accommodation-specific information. The accommodation-specific information is specific information corresponding to an accommodation facility and an accommodation schedule of the accommodation facility. The information management server 100 causes a storage unit to store the generated accommodation-specific information. The information management server 100 converts the location information including the generated accommodation-specific information into an information code (two-dimensional information code) such as a QR (Quick Response) code (registered trademark). The information management server 100 outputs the created information code to the information display terminal 20.

[0050] The information display terminal 20 displays the information code from the information management server 100 on the display unit.

[0051] After checking in to the accommodation facility, the user U1 uses the information terminal 30-1 to access the information management server 100 when he / she wants to know how to use the accommodation facility, how to contact the accommodation facility when there is a problem (hereinafter referred to as "second provided information"). Specifically, the information terminal 30-1 reads the information code displayed on the display unit of the information display terminal 20, and obtains the location information including the accommodation-specific information. The information terminal 30-1 creates a second access request including the accommodation-specific information included in the acquired location information, and sends the created second access request to the information management server 100.

[0052] The information management server 100 receives the second access request and obtains the accommodation-specific information included in the received second access request. The information management server 100 determines whether the obtained accommodation-specific information is stored in the storage unit. If the obtained accommodation-specific information is stored in the storage unit, the information management server 100 permits the access request from the information terminal 30-1. If the information management server 100 permits the access request from the information terminal 30-1, it creates a second access response including the second provided information to be provided to the user U1, and transmits the created second access response to the information terminal 30-1.

[0053] The information terminal 30 - 1 receives the second access response transmitted by the information management server 100 , and displays the second provided information provided to the user U1 included in the received access response.

[0054] On the other hand, if the acquired accommodation unique information is not stored in the storage unit, the information management server 100 does not allow the access request from the information terminal 30-1. If the information management server 100 does not allow the access request from the information terminal 30-1, it creates a second access response including information indicating that the access request is not allowed, and sends the created second access response to the information terminal 30-1.

[0055] The information terminal 30 - 1 receives the second access response transmitted by the information management server 100 , and displays information indicating that the access request included in the received second access response is not permitted.

[0056] The same process is performed also when the user U2 makes an accommodation reservation using the information terminal 30 - 2 and obtains the first provided information and the second provided information from the information management server 100 .

[0057] Hereinafter, any user of the user U1 and the user U2 will be referred to as a user U, and any information terminal of the information terminal 30 - 1 and the information terminal 30 - 2 will be referred to as an information terminal 30 .

[0058] Hereinafter, the information management server 100 , the information terminal 30 , the accommodation reservation system 50 , and the information display terminal 20 will be described in order.
